For every connected MCP server we register four "utility" tool schemas
(mcp_<server>_list_resources, read_resource, list_prompts, get_prompt).
The existing gate was `hasattr(server.session, method)` — but
`mcp.ClientSession` defines all four methods on the class regardless of
what the remote server supports, so the gate never filtered anything.
Tools-only servers (e.g. @upstash/context7-mcp which advertises only
`tools`) ended up with 4 dead stubs; every model call to them returned
JSON-RPC -32601 Method not found, which made the model conclude the
server was broken even when the real tools worked.
Capture the `InitializeResult` returned by `await session.initialize()`
on the `MCPServerTask`, then gate each utility schema on the
corresponding `capabilities` sub-object (resources / prompts). A
legacy `hasattr` fallback runs when `initialize_result` is missing
(older test fixtures / not-yet-captured code paths) so pre-existing
behavior is preserved.
Verified against real `mcp.types.InitializeResult` pydantic models:
- Context7 shape (tools only) → 0 utility stubs registered (was 4)
- Resources-only server → 2 stubs (list_resources, read_resource)
- Prompts-only server → 2 stubs (list_prompts, get_prompt)
- Fully capable server → all 4 stubs
Closes#18051.

Follow-up to the previous commit:
- Add _is_loopback_host() helper covering 127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1,
ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback (case-insensitive). Empty/None host is
treated as non-loopback since unset usually means public default bind.
- Fix mixed-indent comment in the safety rail (comment now aligned with
the if-block) and collapse the nested-if into one condition.
- Add TestInsecureNoAuthSafetyRail covering rejection on 0.0.0.0, a LAN
IP, and empty host; allowance on 127.0.0.1/localhost; plus unit-level
parametrized coverage of _is_loopback_host for spellings we can't bind
in the hermetic test env (::1, ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback).
- Pin test_connect_starts_server + test_webhook_deliver_only defaults
to 127.0.0.1 so they keep passing under the new rail.
- Document the behavior in website/docs/user-guide/messaging/webhooks.md.
When a user replies while quoting another message, QQ sets
'message_type = 103' and pushes the referenced message's content +
attachments inside 'msg_elements[0]'. The old adapter ignored
msg_elements entirely, so:
- Bare quote-replies (no user text) surfaced nothing to the LLM.
- Quoted images/files/voice were never downloaded or described.
- Quoted voice messages specifically produced no transcript — the model
had no way to see what the user was referring to when saying 'about
this voice note…'.
This commit adds _process_quoted_context(d) which extracts msg_elements,
unions their attachments, and runs them through the SAME
_process_attachments pipeline as the main message body. Quoted voice
gets an STT transcript (tried via QQ's asr_refer_text first, then the
configured STT provider); quoted images get cached just like main-body
images; quoted files surface with their original filename intact (not
the CDN URL hash).
The quoted content is prepended to the user's text as a '[Quoted message]:'
block so the LLM sees the full referential context on one turn.
Images-only quotes surface a '[Quoted message]: (image)' marker so the
model knows an image was referenced even if no text came with it.
All four inbound handlers (_handle_c2c_message, _handle_group_message,
_handle_guild_message, _handle_dm_message) now call the helper uniformly
— one merge pattern, not four divergent implementations.
Filename preservation is carried by _process_attachments' existing
'[Attachment: {filename or ct}]' line; nothing else needed for that.
12 new tests under TestProcessQuotedContext and TestMergeQuoteInto cover:
- Non-quote messages short-circuit to empty
- message_type=103 with no msg_elements is harmless
- Text-only quotes render with '[Quoted message]:' prefix
- Voice attachments in the quote flow through STT
- File attachments in the quote preserve the original filename
- Image attachments surface cached paths + media types
- Images-only quote still emits a marker
- Multiple msg_elements are concatenated
- Malformed message_type values return empty
- _merge_quote_into prepends with a blank-line separator

The QQ Bot v2 API supports inline keyboards on outbound messages. When a
user taps a button, the platform dispatches an INTERACTION_CREATE
gateway event; the bot ACKs it via PUT /interactions/{id} and decodes
the button's data payload to route the click.
This commit adds:
New module gateway/platforms/qqbot/keyboards.py
- Inline-keyboard dataclasses (InlineKeyboard, KeyboardRow, KeyboardButton,
KeyboardButtonAction, KeyboardButtonRenderData, KeyboardButtonPermission)
that serialize to the JSON shape the QQ API expects.
- build_approval_keyboard(session_key) — 3-button layout:
✅ 允许一次 / ⭐ 始终允许 / ❌ 拒绝, all sharing group_id='approval'
so clicking one greys out the rest.
- build_update_prompt_keyboard() — Yes/No keyboard for update confirms.
- parse_approval_button_data() / parse_update_prompt_button_data() —
decode the button_data payload from INTERACTION_CREATE.
approve:<session_key>:<decision> (decision = allow-once|allow-always|deny)
update_prompt:<answer> (answer = y|n)
- build_approval_text(ApprovalRequest) — markdown renderer for the
surrounding message body (exec-approval and plugin-approval variants,
with severity icons 🔴/🔵/🟡).
- parse_interaction_event(raw) → InteractionEvent dataclass — normalizes
the nested raw payload (id / scene / openids / button_data / etc.).
Adapter changes (gateway/platforms/qqbot/adapter.py)
- _dispatch_payload routes INTERACTION_CREATE → _on_interaction.
- _on_interaction parses the event, ACKs via PUT /interactions/{id}, then
invokes a user-registered interaction callback. Exceptions from the
callback are caught and logged (never propagate into the WS loop).
- set_interaction_callback(cb) lets gateway wiring register a routing
handler that inspects button_data and resolves the corresponding
pending approval / update prompt.
- _send_c2c_text / _send_group_text now accept an optional keyboard kwarg
and append it to the outbound body.
- send_with_keyboard(chat_id, content, keyboard, reply_to=None) — public
helper that sends a single short message with a keyboard attached.
Does NOT chunk-split (a keyboard message has one interactive surface).
Guild chats are rejected non-retryably — they don't support keyboards.
- send_approval_request(chat_id, ApprovalRequest, reply_to=None) +
send_update_prompt(chat_id, content, reply_to=None) — convenience
wrappers over send_with_keyboard.
Tests
27 new unit tests under TestApprovalButtonData, TestUpdatePromptButtonData,
TestBuildApprovalKeyboard, TestBuildUpdatePromptKeyboard, TestBuildApprovalText,
TestInteractionEventParsing, and TestAdapterInteractionDispatch. Cover:
- Button-data round-trip (build → parse returns original session/decision)
- Keyboard JSON shape + mutual-exclusion group_id
- Exec vs plugin approval text templates + severity icons
- Interaction event parsing (c2c / group / guild scene codes)
- _on_interaction end-to-end: ACK invoked, callback receives parsed event,
callback exceptions are swallowed, missing id skips ACK, no registered
callback is harmless.
Full qqbot suite: 118 passed (72 existing + 19 chunked + 27 keyboards).

The v2 'single POST /v2/{users|groups}/{id}/files' upload path is capped
at ~10 MB inline (base64 'file_data' or 'url'). For larger files the QQ
platform provides a three-step flow:
1. POST /upload_prepare → upload_id + pre-signed COS part URLs
2. PUT each part to its COS URL → POST /upload_part_finish
3. POST /files with {upload_id} → file_info token
This commit adds a new gateway/platforms/qqbot/chunked_upload.py module
that implements the flow, wires it into QQAdapter._send_media for local
files (URL uploads keep the existing inline path), and introduces
structured exceptions so the caller can surface actionable error text:
- UploadDailyLimitExceededError (biz_code 40093002, non-retryable)
- UploadFileTooLargeError (file exceeds the platform limit)
Both carry file_name / file_size_human / limit_human so the model can
compose user-friendly replies instead of seeing opaque HTTP codes.
The part_finish 40093001 retryable-error loop respects the server-
provided retry_timeout (capped at 10 minutes locally) with a 1 s
polling interval. COS PUTs retry transient failures up to 2 times
with exponential backoff. complete_upload retries up to 2 times.
Covers files up to the platform's ~100 MB per-file limit; before this
the adapter silently rejected anything over ~10 MB.
19 new unit tests under TestChunkedUpload* cover the happy path,
prepare-response parsing, helper functions, part retries, COS PUT
retries, group vs c2c routing, and the structured-error mapping.

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).
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.
Adds Google Chat as a new gateway platform, shipped under
plugins/platforms/google_chat/ following the canonical bundled-plugin
pattern (Teams, IRC). Rewired from the original PR #18425 to use the
new env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var plugin interfaces landed
in the preceding commit, so the adapter touches ZERO core files.
What it does:
- Inbound DM + group messages via Cloud Pub/Sub pull subscription (no
public URL needed), with attachments (PDFs, images, audio, video)
downloaded through an SSRF-guarded Google-host allowlist.
- Outbound text replies with the 'Hermes is thinking…' patch-in-place
pattern — no tombstones.
- Native file attachment delivery via per-user OAuth. Google Chat's
media.upload endpoint rejects service-account auth, so each user
runs /setup-files once in their own DM to grant
chat.messages.create for themselves; the adapter then uploads as
them. Tokens stored per email at
~/.hermes/google_chat_user_tokens/<email>.json.
- Thread isolation: side-threads get isolated sessions, top-level DM
messages share one continuous session. Persistent thread-count
store survives gateway restart.
- Supervisor reconnect with exponential backoff.
- Multi-user out of the box.
How it plugs in (no core edits):
- env_enablement_fn seeds PlatformConfig.extra with project_id,
subscription_name, service_account_json, and the home_channel dict
(which the core hook turns into a HomeChannel dataclass). Reads
GOOGLE_CHAT_PROJECT_ID (falls back to GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT),
GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME (falls back to GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION),
GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON (falls back to
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS), GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL.
- cron_deliver_env_var='GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL' gets cron delivery
for free — cron/scheduler.py consults the platform registry for any
name not in its hardcoded built-in sets.
- plugin.yaml's rich requires_env / optional_env blocks auto-populate
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS via the new hermes_cli/config.py injector, so
'hermes config' UI surfaces them with description / url / prompt /
password metadata.
- Module-level Platform('google_chat') call in adapter.py triggers the
Platform._missing_() registration so Platform.GOOGLE_CHAT attribute
access works without an enum entry.
Distribution: ships inside the existing hermes-agent package. Users
opt in via 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' and follow the
8-step GCP walkthrough at
website/docs/user-guide/messaging/google_chat.md.
Test coverage: 153 tests in tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py, all
passing. Spans platform registration, env config loading, Pub/Sub
envelope routing, outbound send + chunking + typing patch-in-place,
attachment send paths, SSRF guard, thread/session model,
supervisor reconnect, authorization, per-user OAuth, and the new
plugin-registry cron delivery wiring.

MCP tool results can include ImageContent blocks (screenshots from
Playwright/Blockbench/Puppeteer etc). The tool result handler only
extracted block.text, so image blocks were silently dropped and the
agent saw an empty or text-only response — losing the actual payload.
Add _cache_mcp_image_block() that base64-decodes the block, validates
the bytes via gateway.platforms.base.cache_image_from_bytes (which
sniffs for PNG/JPEG/WebP signatures and rejects non-images), writes to
the shared `~/.hermes/cache/images/` dir, and returns a MEDIA:<path>
tag. The handler appends that tag to the result parts so downstream
gateway adapters render the image inline.
Logs and drops on malformed base64 / non-image payload rather than
raising — a single bad block shouldn't kill the tool call.
Distilled from #17915 (c3115644151) and #10848 (gnanirahulnutakki), both
too stale to cherry-pick (branches diverged enough to revert dozens of
unrelated fixes). Went with #10848's approach of plumbing through
Hermes' existing MEDIA tag / cache_image_from_bytes infrastructure
rather than #17915's raw tempfile path, because it integrates with the
remote-backend mount system and messaging adapters that already handle
MEDIA tags natively.

* fix(mcp): re-raise CancelledError explicitly in MCPServerTask.run
On Python 3.11+, `asyncio.CancelledError` inherits from `BaseException`
(not `Exception`), so the broad `except Exception as exc:` in
`MCPServerTask.run`'s transport loop did NOT catch it. Task cancellation
from gateway restart / explicit `task.cancel()` silently escaped past
the reconnect logic — the MCP server task died without going through
the shutdown/reconnect code paths that check `_shutdown_event`.
Add an explicit `except asyncio.CancelledError: raise` before the broad
catch so cancellation propagation is self-documenting rather than an
accident of exception hierarchy, and future sibling-site work (e.g.
distinguishing shutdown-cancel from transport-cancel) has an obvious
hook. Behavior on pre-3.8 Pythons where CancelledError WAS an Exception
subclass is also corrected: the old path would have caught it and
treated it as a connection failure worth retrying.
Closes#9930.
* fix(mcp): forward OAuth auth and bump sse_read_timeout on SSE transport
Two surgical correctness bugs in the SSE branch of MCPServerTask._run_http,
distilled from @amiller's PR #5981 that couldn't be cherry-picked wholesale
(branch too stale).
1. sse_read_timeout was set to the tool timeout (default 60s). That's the
wrong dimension — it governs how long sse_client will wait between
events on the SSE stream, not per-call latency. SSE servers routinely
hold the stream idle for minutes between events; a 60s read timeout
drops the connection after the first slow stretch (Router Teamwork,
Supermemory on Cloudflare Workers idle-disconnect at ~60s). Bump to
300s to match the Streamable HTTP path's httpx read timeout.
2. OAuth auth was built via get_manager().get_or_build_provider() but
never forwarded to sse_client. SSE MCP servers behind OAuth 2.1 PKCE
would silently fail with 401s on every request.
Keepalive (the other half of #5981) intentionally left for a follow-up —
it's a real improvement but a bigger change, and these two are obvious
corrections to ship now. Credits to @amiller.

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).
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).
When the parent agent uses a composite toolset like hermes-cli, calling
delegate_task with individual toolsets (e.g. web, terminal) resulted in
zero tools because the name-based intersection failed: 'web' != 'hermes-cli'.
Add _expand_parent_toolsets() which collects all tool names from parent
toolsets, then recognises any individual toolset whose tools are a subset
of the parent's available tools. This allows delegate_task(toolsets=['web'])
to work correctly when the parent has hermes-cli enabled.
Fixes#19447
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.

Some exception classes (e.g. anyio.ClosedResourceError) are raised without
a message argument, so str(exc) returns an empty string. The existing error
format f'{type(exc).__name__}: {exc}' would produce messages like
'MCP call failed: ClosedResourceError: ' with nothing after the colon.
Add _exc_str() helper that falls back to repr(exc) when str(exc) is empty,
and apply it to all 6 MCP error formatting sites (5 tool/prompt/resource
handlers + 1 sampling handler).
Fixes#19417
Treat closed-resource, closed-transport, broken-pipe, and EOF MCP failures as stale session equivalents so the existing reconnect/retry-once path can recover. Add regression coverage for the stale-pipe marker variants.\n\nChecks:\n- python -m py_compile tools/mcp_tool.py tests/tools/test_mcp_tool_session_expired.py\n- python -m pytest tests/tools/test_mcp_tool_session_expired.py -q -o addopts=\n- selected secret scan over touched files
Track elapsed wall time in _run_on_mcp_loop, cancel the in-flight future when a timeout expires, and raise a descriptive TimeoutError that includes the elapsed and configured timeout. Add regression coverage for the new timeout diagnostics.
## Summary
- Forwards chat-completions `timeout` into the Codex Responses stream call.
- Adds total elapsed-time enforcement while the Responses stream is still yielding events.
- Closes the underlying client on timeout to unblock stalled streams, then raises `TimeoutError`.
- Adds focused tests for timeout forwarding and total timeout enforcement.
## Why
The Codex auxiliary adapter can be used by non-interactive auxiliary work such as context compression. If the stream keeps yielding progress-like events but never completes, SDK socket/read timeouts do not necessarily protect the full operation. This makes the CLI look stuck until the user force-interrupts the whole session.
This is a refreshed upstream-ready version of the earlier fork fix around `d3f08e9a0` / PR #3.
## Verification
- `python -m py_compile agent/auxiliary_client.py tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py`
- `python -m pytest -o addopts='' tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py::TestCodexAuxiliaryAdapterTimeout -q`
- `git diff --check`
Discord (and similar platforms) can serve a PNG image cached as
discord_xxx.webp because the CDN reports content_type=image/webp for
proxied stickers, custom emoji, and certain bot-uploaded images even
when the actual bytes are PNG. Hermes' agent.image_routing._guess_mime
trusted the file suffix and declared media_type=image/webp to
Anthropic, which strict-validates and returns:
HTTP 400 messages.N.content.M.image.source.base64:
The image was specified using the image/webp media type,
but the image appears to be a image/png image
The Discord image attachment never reaches the model; the whole turn
fails with no salvage path.
Fix: sniff magic bytes in _file_to_data_url before declaring MIME.
Suffix-based detection is kept as a fallback when bytes aren't
available. New helper _sniff_mime_from_bytes covers PNG, JPEG, GIF,
WEBP, BMP, and HEIC/HEIF.
Tests:
- Two existing tests asserted the old broken behaviour (PNG bytes in
a .jpg/.webp file should report jpeg/webp); rewritten with real
jpeg/webp magic bytes so they still cover suffix-aligned cases.
- New regression test test_mime_sniff_overrides_misleading_extension
reproduces the exact Discord scenario (PNG bytes, .webp suffix) and
asserts the data URL comes back as image/png.
All 28 tests in tests/agent/test_image_routing.py pass.
When the provider rejects a request (e.g. invalid model slug like
'--provider nous --model kimi-k2.6' where the valid slug is
'moonshotai/kimi-k2.6'), run_conversation() returns
{failed: True, error: <detail>, final_response: None}. The TUI gateway
and one-shot CLI mode both dropped the error on the floor and emitted
an empty turn, so the user saw a blank response with no indication
that anything went wrong.
Mirror the interactive CLI's existing pattern (cli.py:9832): when
final_response is empty AND (failed|partial) is set AND error is
populated, surface 'Error: <detail>' as the visible text. Leaves
the None-with-no-error path and the '(empty)' sentinel path
untouched — an empty successful turn still renders empty, and
existing sentinel handlers keep owning their lane.
Reported by @counterposition in PR #20873; taking a minimal fix
rather than the broader structured-failure refactor proposed there.
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
_set_dm_role_auth_guild helper) instead of setenv/delenv. 12 tests
in test_discord_roles_dm_scope pass; no env var involvement.
- Docstring + module docstring + comments updated to reference
discord.dm_role_auth_guild.
- E2E verified with real imports across 6 scenarios: unset, int,
string, garbage, zero, and (crucially) env-var-only-no-config all
return None except the valid int/string cases. Env var has zero
effect — policy compliance confirmed.
Sibling-site fix: _evaluate_slash_authorization was the fourth
_is_allowed_user caller and didn't pass guild/is_dm through, so slash
interactions would take the DM branch regardless of whether they came
from a guild channel. Now reads interaction.guild + in_dm and forwards.
Also updates test_discord_slash_auth fixture (_make_interaction) so
the SimpleNamespace guild mock has a get_member(uid)->None method —
required by the new guild-scoped fallback path in _is_allowed_user.
Tests exercising positive role paths still work via user.roles.
Three new regression tests in test_discord_roles_dm_scope:
- Slash DM + role in mutual public guild → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role only in guild A → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role in guild B → allowed (positive control)
368 Discord tests pass. test_discord_free_channel_skips_auto_thread
also fails on clean main (pre-existing, unrelated to this fix).
The initial DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES implementation (#11608, merged from #9873)
scans every mutual guild when resolving a user's roles. This allows a
cross-guild DM bypass:
1. Bot is in both public server A and private server B.
2. User holds the allowed role in server A only.
3. User DMs the bot. The role check finds the role in A and authorizes the
DM, granting access as if the user were trusted in server B.
Fix:
- DMs (no guild context) disable role-based auth by default. Opt-in via
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD=<guild_id> restricts role lookup to one
explicitly-trusted guild.
- Guild messages check roles only in the originating guild
(message.guild), never in other mutual guilds.
- Reject cached author.roles when the Member came from a different guild
than the current message.
Backwards compatibility:
- DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS behavior is unchanged (still works in both DMs
and guild messages).
- Deployments that rely on roles in guild channels continue to work;
role checks are now strictly scoped to that guild.
- Deployments that intentionally want role-based DM auth can opt into a
single trusted guild via DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD.
Tests: 9 new regression guards in
tests/gateway/test_discord_roles_dm_scope.py covering the bypass path,
the opt-in path, cross-guild guild-message bypass, and backwards-compat
user-ID paths. 47/47 discord-auth tests pass.

Authenticated remote OpenViking servers derive tenancy from the Bearer
key, but the client was always sending X-OpenViking-Account and
X-OpenViking-User — defaulted to the literal string "default" — which
overrode the key-derived tenant and broke auth.
- _headers(): skip X-OpenViking-Account/-User when blank or "default"
(treats the legacy default value as unset, so existing installs don't
need to touch their .env)
- _headers(): send Authorization: Bearer <key> alongside X-API-Key for
standard HTTP auth compatibility
- health(): include auth headers so /health works against servers that
require authentication
Tests cover bearer emission, legacy "default" suppression, empty
suppression, real tenant passthrough, and authenticated health checks.
Fixes the same user report as #20695 (from @ZaynJarvis); that PR could
not be merged because its branch was stale against main and would have
reverted recent OpenViking work (#15696, local resource uploads, summary
URI normalization, fs-stat pre-check).
Cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254 etc.) are now always blocked
by browser_navigate regardless of hybrid routing, allow_private_urls,
or backend.
Bug: commit 42c076d3 (#16136) added hybrid routing that flips
auto_local_this_nav=True for private URLs and short-circuits
_is_safe_url(). IMDS endpoints are technically private (169.254/16
link-local), so the sidecar happily routed them to a local Chromium,
and the agent could read IAM credentials via browser_snapshot. On
EC2/GCP/Azure this is a full SSRF-to-credential-theft.
Fix: new is_always_blocked_url() in url_safety.py — a narrow floor
that checks _BLOCKED_HOSTNAMES, _ALWAYS_BLOCKED_IPS,
_ALWAYS_BLOCKED_NETWORKS only. Applied as an independent gate in
browser_navigate's pre-nav and post-redirect checks, BEFORE
auto_local_this_nav gets a chance to short-circuit. Ordinary private
URLs (localhost, 192.168.x, 10.x, .local, CGNAT) still route to the
local sidecar as the #16136 feature intends.
Secondary fix (reporter's finding): _url_is_private() now explicitly
checks 172.16.0.0/12. ipaddress.is_private only covers that range on
Python ≥3.11 (bpo-40791), so on 3.10 runtimes those URLs were routed
to cloud instead of the local sidecar. No security impact — just a
correctness fix for the hybrid-routing feature.
Closes#16234.
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).

When multiple custom_providers share the same base_url but have different API keys,
get_custom_provider_pool_key() always returned the first match, causing wrong-key
unauthorized errors. Add provider_name parameter to prefer exact name matches
over base_url-only matching, with fallback for backward compatibility.
Fixes#19083
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.
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.
Skills that produce large/lossless images (e.g. info-graph, where a
rendered JPG is 1-2 MB) currently lose quality in Telegram delivery
because `_IMAGE_EXTS` membership routes the file through
`send_multiple_images` → `sendMediaGroup`, which Telegram's server
re-encodes to JPEG @ 1280px max edge. The original bytes only survive
when the file goes through `send_document`, which the dispatch tables
in three places (`_process_message_background`, `_deliver_media_from_response`,
and the `send_message` tool's telegram path) only reach for files
whose extension is NOT in `_IMAGE_EXTS`.
This commit adds an `[[as_document]]` directive that mirrors the
existing `[[audio_as_voice]]` shape: a skill emits the directive once
in its response, and every image-extension MEDIA: file in that response
is delivered via `send_document` instead of `send_multiple_images` /
`sendPhoto`. The directive is detected at the dispatch sites (which see
the raw response) and the directive string is stripped from the
user-visible cleaned text in `extract_media` so it never leaks.
Granularity is intentionally all-or-nothing per response, matching
[[audio_as_voice]]'s scope. Skills that need fine control can split into
two responses.
Verified the targeted use case: info-graph emits
信息图已生成（...）
[[as_document]]
MEDIA:/tmp/info-graph-x/infographic.jpg
→ Telegram receives `infographic.jpg` via sendDocument, original 1MB
JPEG bytes preserved, no recompression. Forwarding and download
filenames stay clean (`infographic.jpg`).
Tests: +3 cases in TestExtractMedia covering directive strip, isolation
from voice flag, and coexistence with [[audio_as_voice]]. All
113 pre-existing media/extract/send tests pass.

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.

Follow-up on top of Zyproth's session-source cache: swap the unbounded
dict for an OrderedDict with a 512-entry LRU cap so long-running
gateways can't accumulate stale entries for dead sessions forever.
- self._session_sources is now an OrderedDict
- _cache_session_source() move_to_end + popitem(last=False) above cap
- _get_cached_session_source() move_to_end on hit (LRU read bump)
- restart_test_helpers.py wires OrderedDict + _session_sources_max
`_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).
Flip the default for HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS from off to on so the redactor
already wired into send_message_tool, logs, and tool output actually runs
on a fresh install.
- agent/redact.py: env-var default "" → "true"
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG security.redact_secrets True;
two config-template comments rewritten
- gateway/run.py + cli.py: startup log / banner warning when the user
has explicitly opted out, so the downgrade is visible in agent.log
and at CLI banner time
- docs/reference/environment-variables.md: description reconciled
- tests: flipped the default-pin, restructured the force=True
regression test to explicit-false instead of unset
Users who need raw credential values (redactor development) can still
opt out via security.redact_secrets: false in config.yaml or
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env.
Closes#17691.
Addresses #20785 (short-term output-pipeline recommendation).
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.

The kanban_heartbeat tool called heartbeat_worker but never
heartbeat_claim, so a worker that loops the tool while a single tool
call blocks the agent for >DEFAULT_CLAIM_TTL_SECONDS still got
reclaimed by release_stale_claims. The function name and
heartbeat_claim's own docstring imply otherwise:
"Workers that know they'll exceed 15 minutes should call this
every few minutes to keep ownership."
But there was no caller in the worker tool path. Workers couldn't
invoke heartbeat_claim themselves either — it isn't exposed as a tool.
Fix: _handle_heartbeat now calls heartbeat_claim first, reading
HERMES_KANBAN_CLAIM_LOCK from the worker env (the dispatcher pins
this in _default_spawn). Falls back to _claimer_id() for locally-
driven workers that didn't go through dispatcher spawn.
Test: tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py::test_heartbeat_extends_claim_expires
rewinds claim_expires into the past, calls the tool, and asserts the
new value is at least now + DEFAULT_CLAIM_TTL_SECONDS // 2. Verified to
fail against the unfixed code (claim_expires stays at the rewound
value).
Closes the root cause underlying the symptom in #21141 (15-min
respawns of long-running workers). #21141 separately addresses
post-reclaim cleanup; this fixes the upstream "shouldn't have been
reclaimed in the first place" half.
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.

The rescan-on-platform-change fix landed in #18739 ships one regression
test that exercises the HERMES_PLATFORM env-var path. Three other code
paths in get_skill_commands / _resolve_skill_commands_platform have no
direct coverage; this commit adds a regression test for each.
- Gateway session context (HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM via ContextVar): the
resolver consults get_session_env after HERMES_PLATFORM, and the
gateway sets that variable through set_session_vars (a ContextVar),
not os.environ. The test uses set_session_vars / clear_session_vars
to drive the actual gateway signal, and the disabled-skill stub reads
the same value via get_session_env. A regression that swapped
get_session_env for plain os.getenv would still pass an env-var-based
test but break concurrent gateway sessions, which is the bug the
ContextVar plumbing exists to prevent.
- Returning to no-platform-scope (CLI / cron / RL rollouts after a
gateway session): the cached telegram view must be dropped and the
unfiltered scan repopulated when HERMES_PLATFORM is unset again.
- Same-platform cache hit: consecutive calls under the same platform
scope must NOT rescan. The rescan trigger is change in scope, not
"always re-resolve" — a gateway serving many consecutive telegram
requests should pay the scan cost once, not per request.
The third test wraps scan_skill_commands with a spy after the cache is
primed, so the assertion is on call_count == 0 across three subsequent
get_skill_commands() calls.
All 39 tests in tests/agent/test_skill_commands.py pass under
scripts/run_tests.sh.
In native image mode (vision-capable models like gpt-4o, claude-sonnet-4),
build_native_content_parts() previously emitted only the user's caption
plus image_url parts. The local file path of each attached image never
appeared in the conversation text, so the model could see the pixels but
had no string handle for tools that take image_url: str (custom MCP
tools, vision_analyze on a re-look, attach-to-tracker workflows).
The text-mode path already injects an equivalent hint via
Runner._enrich_message_with_vision ("...vision_analyze using image_url:
<path>..."). This brings native mode to parity by appending one
"[Image attached at: <path>]" line per successfully attached image to
the user-text part of the multimodal turn. Skipped (unreadable) paths
are NOT advertised, so the model is never told a non-existent file is
attached.

Issue #17648 added a post-update SIGTERM-survivor sweep to `cmd_update`:
~3s after issuing graceful/SIGTERM restarts, the code re-queries
`find_gateway_pids` and SIGKILLs anything still alive. That's the
right fix for stuck-drain gateways in production, but it broke three
unit tests that assumed `find_gateway_pids` would keep returning the
same PIDs forever:
FAILED ::TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart::test_update_restarts_profile_manual_gateways
AssertionError: Expected 'kill' to not have been called. Called 1 times.
Calls: [call(12345, <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>)].
FAILED ::TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart::test_update_profile_manual_gateway_falls_back_to_sigterm
AssertionError: Expected 'kill' to have been called once. Called 2 times.
Calls: [call(12345, SIGTERM), call(12345, SIGKILL)].
FAILED ::TestServicePidExclusion::test_update_kills_manual_pid_but_not_service_pid
assert 2 == 1
manual_kills = [call(42999, SIGTERM), call(42999, SIGKILL)]
In each test `os.kill` is mocked, so the simulated PID never actually
exits \u2014 the sweep finds it again and escalates. The production code
is correct; the tests just need to model OS behaviour properly.
Two-test fix (profile-manual restart cases): use
`side_effect=[[12345], []]` so the first `find_gateway_pids` call
returns the live PID and the second (the sweep) returns nothing, as if
the OS had reaped the process.
Service-PID-exclusion fix: track which PIDs got killed in a closure
set, and exclude them on subsequent `fake_find` calls. `os.kill`
gets a `side_effect` that records the kill instead of swallowing it
silently. Now the sweep doesn't re-find the manual PID, no SIGKILL
escalation, `manual_kills == 1`.

_write_json (the persistence helper used by HermesTokenStorage for both
tokens and client_info) created the temp file via Path.write_text and
only chmod'd it to 0o600 afterward. Between create and chmod the file
existed on disk at the process umask (commonly 0o644 = world-readable),
briefly exposing MCP OAuth access/refresh tokens to other local users.
Use os.open with O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL and an explicit S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR
mode so the file is created atomically at 0o600, plus tighten the parent
dir to 0o700 so siblings can't traverse to the creds file. The temp name
also gains a per-process random suffix to avoid collisions between
concurrent writers and stale leftovers from a crashed prior write.
Mirrors the fix shipped for agent/google_oauth.py in #19673.
Adds a regression test asserting the resulting file mode is 0o600 and
the parent directory is 0o700 (skipped on Windows where POSIX mode bits
aren't enforced).
Two CI tests for the new `--yes` update flag (#18261) flaked under
`pytest-xdist` on Linux/Python 3.11 even though they passed every
local run on macOS/Python 3.14.4:
FAILED tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py
::TestUpdateYesConfigMigration::test_no_yes_flag_still_prompts_in_tty
`AssertionError: assert <MagicMock 'input'>.called is False`
FAILED tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py
::TestUpdateYesStashRestore::test_yes_restores_stash_without_prompting
`AssertionError: assert <MagicMock '_restore_stashed_changes'>.called is False`
Captured stdout for the first failure shows `cmd_update` taking the
"Non-interactive session \u2014 skipping config migration prompt." branch
\u2014 i.e. the `sys.stdin.isatty() and sys.stdout.isatty()` check at
`hermes_cli/main.py:7118` evaluated to `False` despite the test doing:
with patch("hermes_cli.main.sys") as mock_sys:
mock_sys.stdin.isatty.return_value = True
mock_sys.stdout.isatty.return_value = True
The whole-module mock is fragile under xdist worker reuse: a sibling
test that imports `hermes_cli.main` first can leave another `sys`
reference resolved inside the function (re-import in a helper, etc.),
and the wholesale module replacement never gets consulted.
Switch to `patch.object(_sys.stdin, "isatty", return_value=True)` (and
the same for `stdout`). That patches the *attribute on the real stream
object* \u2014 every call site, no matter how it reached `sys.stdin`,
hits the patched method. Same fix applied to the stash-restore test
(it took the "non-TTY \u2192 skip restore prompt" branch for the same reason).

The Dockerfile dropped the manual `@hermes/ink` materialisation gymnastics
in favour of letting npm workspaces resolve the bundled package
naturally. Two contract tests still asserted the older flow:
`test_dockerfile_installs_tui_dependencies` required:
'ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/package-lock.json' in dockerfile_text
…but the lockfile is no longer COPIED individually \u2014 the entire

`test_dockerfile_materializes_local_tui_ink_package` required a 7-clause
conjunction matching specific `rm -rf` / `npm install --omit=dev`
`--prefix node_modules/@hermes/ink` / `rm -rf .../react` invocations
that were stripped out when the workspace resolution was simplified.
Update the assertions to pin the *contract* the image actually has to
carry rather than the *exact shell incantations* the old flow used:
* TUI deps install: ui-tui/package.json + ui-tui/package-lock.json +
ui-tui/packages/hermes-ink/ tree are all COPIED, and an npm
install/ci step runs in ui-tui.
* Bundled hermes-ink: the workspace package source is COPIED (so
`await import('@hermes/ink')` resolves at runtime).
This keeps the spirit of #15012 / #16690 (zombie reaping + bundled
workspace materialisation must continue to work) without locking the
Dockerfile into one specific implementation flavour.

No production code change. Fixes the two failures observed on `main`
(run 25250051126):

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.
Two follow-ups on top of helix4u's slash-command sync hardening:
- Only suppress exceptions that are actually Discord 429 rate limits
(discord.RateLimited, HTTPException with status 429, or a clearly
rate-limit-named duck type). Arbitrary failures that happen to expose
a retry_after attribute now re-raise to the outer handler instead of
silently swallowing a cooldown.
- Move the sync-state JSON under $HERMES_HOME/gateway/ so the home root
stops collecting ad-hoc runtime files.
Added a test verifying unrelated exceptions don't get misclassified as
rate limits.
Previously, /personality in the TUI called _reset_session_agent() which
destroyed the agent, cleared conversation history, and effectively started
a new session. This made personality switching disruptive — users lost
their entire conversation context.
Now /personality updates the agent's ephemeral_system_prompt in-place and
injects a pivot marker into the conversation history. The marker tells
the model to adopt the new persona from that point forward, which is
necessary because LLMs tend to pattern-match their prior responses and
continue the established tone without an explicit signal.
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: Rewrite _apply_personality_to_session to update
the agent in-place instead of resetting. Inject a user-role pivot
marker so the model actually switches style mid-conversation.
- ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/session.ts: Update help text (no longer
mentions history reset).
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: Update test to verify history is
preserved, pivot marker is injected, and ephemeral prompt is set.
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 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.

Extend the gateway_restart_notification flag to cover
_notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown — the message that fires just
before drain ("⚠️ Gateway restarting — Your current task will be
interrupted. Send any message after restart and I'll try to resume
where you left off.") sent to active sessions and home channels.
Same operator/end-user reasoning: on a Slack workspace shared with
end users, "Gateway restarting" reads as "the bot is broken" — the
operator should be able to suppress it consistently with the other
two lifecycle pings rather than having a partial opt-out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds an opt-out toggle on PlatformConfig that gates both restart
lifecycle pings: the "♻ Gateway restarted" message sent to the chat
that issued /restart, and the "♻️ Gateway online" home-channel
startup notification. Defaults to True so existing deployments are
unaffected.
The motivating split is operator vs. end-user surfaces: a back-channel
like Telegram should keep these pings, while a Slack workspace shared
with end users should not surface gateway lifecycle noise.

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.
- Expand migration comment to name the primary failure mode (missing
column OperationalError from #20842) ahead of the secondary SQLite
schema-reparse concern; also document the stale-cols-snapshot invariant
- Add clarifying comments on from_row() legacy fallback branches noting
they are belt-and-suspenders dead code post-migration
- Add task_events comment in existing test explaining why the table is
required by the migrator
- Add test_legacy_migration_no_legacy_columns_at_all: Scenario A —
explicitly asserts the exact #20842 crash no longer occurs and that
consecutive_failures defaults to 0 on a DB that never had spawn_failures
- Add test_legacy_migration_both_columns_already_present: Scenario D —
asserts the migration is a no-op when both columns already exist,

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)
Ref: #11562 (original SearXNG PR)
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.
Ref: #19198
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
has no overlapping entry in a native provider's static catalog. Deepseek
and minimax failed because their v4/v2.7 names existed in the native
deepseek/minimax catalogs.
When the user pastes a long slash command like \`/goal <long prose>\` into
\`hermes chat\`, the input flows into \`_detect_file_drop()\`, whose
\`starts_like_path\` prefilter accepts anything starting with \`/\` and
forwards it to \`_resolve_attachment_path()\`. That helper calls
\`Path.exists()\` which invokes \`os.stat()\`, which raises
\`OSError(errno=ENAMETOOLONG)\` — 63 on macOS, 36 on Linux — when the
candidate exceeds NAME_MAX (typically 255 bytes).
The OSError propagates up to the broad \`except Exception\` in
\`process_loop\` (cli.py:11798), gets logged at WARNING level, and the
user's input is silently dropped. From the user's POV the chat prompt
hangs — the only signal is in agent.log:
WARNING cli: process_loop unhandled error (msg may be lost):
[Errno 63] File name too long: "/goal Drive the space board..."
This affects any slash command with prose-length arguments — \`/goal\`
in particular but also \`/skill\`, \`/cron\`, custom user commands.
Fix: wrap the \`exists()\`/\`is_file()\` calls in try/except OSError so
structurally-invalid path candidates cleanly return None. The slash-
command dispatch path downstream (cli.py:11718) then handles the
input correctly.
Tests: two new regression cases in test_cli_file_drop.py cover the
original \`/goal\` reproducer and a synthetic long path. All 35 file-
drop tests pass.
Reproducer (without the fix):
python -c "from cli import _detect_file_drop;
_detect_file_drop('/goal ' + 'a'*300)"
→ OSError: [Errno 63] File name too long
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.
CPython's logging module is not reentrant-safe. `Logger.isEnabledFor`
caches level results in `Logger._cache`; under shutdown races the cache
can be cleared (`Logger._clear_cache`, triggered by logging config changes
from another thread) or mid-mutation when a signal fires, raising
`KeyError: <level_int>` (e.g. `KeyError: 10` for DEBUG) inside the signal
handler.
When that happens, the KeyError escapes before the `raise KeyboardInterrupt()`
on the next line can fire, which bypasses prompt_toolkit's normal interrupt
unwind and surfaces as the EIO cascade originally reported in #13710.
Issue #13710 shipped two defenses (asyncio exception handler + outer
`except (KeyError, OSError)` with EIO suppression) that cover the EIO
unwind path. This patch closes the remaining escape hatch: the
`logger.debug` call at the top of `_signal_handler` itself. Wrap it in a
bare `try/except Exception: pass` so logging can never raise through a
signal handler.
Observed in the wild: debug report on 0.12.0 (commit 8163d371) shows the
exact stack — KeyError: 10 at logging/__init__.py:1742 inside the
signal handler's `logger.debug`, followed by the EIO cascade from
prompt_toolkit's emergency flush.
Tests: adds `TestSignalHandlerLoggingRace` to
`tests/hermes_cli/test_suppress_eio_on_interrupt.py` with 6 new cases:
- normal path still raises KeyboardInterrupt
- KeyError(10) from logger.debug does not escape
- any Exception from logger.debug is swallowed
- agent.interrupt still fires when logger.debug raises
- agent.interrupt raising also does not escape
- BaseException (SystemExit) is NOT swallowed — guard uses `except Exception`
deliberately so real shutdown signals still propagate
Closes#13710 regression.
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).
- hermes_cli/config.py: add tr to supported languages comment
- locales/en.yaml: add tr to locale file list comment

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).

Add parent dependency guard to _set_status_direct so dragging
a task to the ready column is rejected (409) when its parents
are not all done. Previously the guard only existed in
recompute_ready, allowing direct status writes via the
dashboard API to bypass the dependency engine.
Root cause: after reclaiming stale workers, both T3 and T4
were set to ready via dashboard status writes in quick
succession, causing the writer to be spawned while the analyst
was blocked — upstream work wasn't done yet.
After #19473 landed (enforce_max_runtime reads from task_runs.started_at
rather than tasks.started_at), a regression test added earlier still
only backdated the tasks column. Backdate both so the test is robust
regardless of which column the enforcer reads from.
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).
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.
Mirrors the pattern already shipping in hindsight-integrations/openclaw:
probe `<api_url>/version` once per process, gate on Hindsight ≥ 0.5.0.
When supported, retains use a stable session-scoped `document_id`
(`session_id`) plus `update_mode='append'` so cross-process retains for
the same session merge into one document instead of producing
N-different-process-stamped duplicates. When unsupported (or probe
fails), fall back to the existing per-process unique
`f"{session_id}-{start_ts}"` document_id with no `update_mode` — the
resume-overwrite fix (#6654) keeps working unchanged on legacy servers.
Closes the dedup half of #20115. The proposed `document_id_strategy`
config knob isn't needed: auto-detection via the same /version probe
the OpenClaw plugin already uses gives the same outcome with no extra
config burden, and the choice is purely a function of what the server
can do.
Plumbing
--------
- Module-level helpers (`_meets_minimum_version`, `_fetch_hindsight_api_version`,
`_check_api_supports_update_mode_append`) cache the result per api_url
so every provider in the process gets one /version round-trip.
- One-time WARN logged when the API is older than 0.5.0, telling the
user to upgrade for cross-session deduplication.
- New instance helper `_resolve_retain_target(fallback_doc_id)` returns
`(document_id, update_mode)` based on cached capability. Wired into
`sync_turn` and the `on_session_switch` flush path.
- For local_embedded mode, the probe URL is taken from the running
client (`client.url`) so we hit the actual daemon port rather than
the configured default.
- `update_mode` is set on the per-item dict; `aretain_batch` already
threads `item['update_mode']` into the API call.
Tests
-----
- `TestUpdateModeAppendCapability` (5 cases): legacy fallback, modern
stable+append, per-url cache, one-time warn, flush-on-switch resolves
against the OLD session.
- Existing `_make_hindsight_provider` factory in the manager-side test
file extended to seed `_mode`/`_api_url`/`_api_key`/`_client` and stub
`_resolve_retain_target` so the bypass-init pattern keeps working.
E2E verified against installed `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`:
- Legacy probe (unreachable host) → `legacy-session-<ts>` doc_id,
no `update_mode`.
- Modern probe (live local_embedded 0.5.6 daemon) → stable
`modern-session` doc_id + `update_mode='append'`.
- `test_hermes_embedded_smoke.py` passes (90s).
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.
* 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.
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.
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

Closes#14418
* 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.
Mirror _message_thread_id_for_typing() with _message_thread_id_for_send():
both now map the General forum topic (thread id "1") to None upfront.
That removes the need for the retry-without-thread fallback in send_typing()
entirely — if _message_thread_id_for_typing() returns a non-None value, it's
a real user-created topic and falling back to the root chat is never correct.
If Telegram rejects the typing action (e.g. topic deleted mid-session), we
swallow it at debug level instead of bleeding the indicator into All Messages.
Updates the General-topic typing regression test to assert the new single-call
contract.
Fix three regressions introduced by PR #18370 (lazy session creation):
1. _finalize_session() uses stale session_key after compression (#20001)
2. session_key not synced after auto-compression in run_conversation (#20001)
3. pending_title ValueError leaves title wedged forever (#19029)
4. Gateway silently swallows null responses when agent did work (#18765)
5. One-time cleanup for accumulated ghost compression continuations (#20001)
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: _finalize_session() now uses agent.session_id
(falls back to session_key when agent is None). Refactor
_sync_session_key_after_compress() with clear_pending_title and
restart_slash_worker policy flags. Call it post-run_conversation()
to sync session_key after auto-compression. Add ValueError handler
to pending_title flush.
- gateway/run.py: Extract _normalize_empty_agent_response() helper that
consolidates failed/partial/null response handling. Surfaces user-facing
error when agent did work (api_calls > 0) but returned no text.
- hermes_state.py: Add finalize_orphaned_compression_sessions() — marks
ghost continuation sessions as ended (non-destructive, preserves data).
- cli.py: One-time startup migration for orphaned compression sessions.
Test changes:
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: Update pending_title ValueError test
for post-#18370 architecture (title applied post-message, not at create).
- tests/test_lazy_session_regressions.py: 14 new regression tests covering
all fixed paths.
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.

When a provider returns a 429 rate-limit error (not billing-related),
the auxiliary client's call_llm/async_call_llm previously did NOT trigger
the fallback chain. This caused auxiliary tasks like session_search to
exhaust all 3 retries against the same rate-limited endpoint, losing
session metadata that depended on the summarization completing.
Root cause: `_is_payment_error()` only matched 429s containing billing
keywords ("credits", "insufficient funds", etc.). Provider-specific
rate-limit messages like Nous's "Hold up for a bit, you've exceeded the
rate limit on your API key" didn't match, so `_is_payment_error` returned
False, `_is_connection_error` returned False, and `should_fallback` was
False — all retries hit the same rate-limited provider.
Fix:
- New `_is_rate_limit_error()` function that detects 429 + rate-limit
keywords, generic 429 without billing keywords, and OpenAI SDK
`RateLimitError` class instances (which may omit .status_code).
- Updated `should_fallback` in both `call_llm` and `async_call_llm` to
include `_is_rate_limit_error`.
- Updated the max_tokens retry path to also check for rate-limit errors.
- Updated the reason string to include "rate limit".
This complements the Nous rate guard (PR #10568) which prevents new calls
to Nous when already rate-limited — this fix handles the case where a
request is already in flight when the 429 arrives.

Salvages @Es1la's PR #13632 — a non-numeric timestamp in the persisted
feishu dedup state crashed adapter startup with ValueError/TypeError
from the unguarded float() call. Wrap the float() conversion in
try/except; skip the bad key and keep loading the rest.
The original PR also restructured existing TestDedupTTL tests to use
tempfile.TemporaryDirectory + HERMES_HOME patching — that was
test-hygiene scope creep unrelated to the bug. Kept only the
malformed-timestamp fix and added a focused regression test.
OpenRouter's dashboard attributes usage via the `X-Title` header.
Hermes was sending `X-OpenRouter-Title`, which OpenRouter does not
recognize, so Hermes usage showed up unlabeled. Rename to `X-Title`
to match the canonical header (already used elsewhere in the same
file via _AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS).
Salvages the core fix from @JTroyerOvermatch's PR #13649. Dropped the
PR's `HERMES_OPENROUTER_TITLE` / `HERMES_OPENROUTER_REFERER` env-var
override plumbing per the '.env is for secrets only' policy — if
per-deployment attribution is needed later it should go under
`openrouter.title` / `openrouter.referer` in config.yaml instead.
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.
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).
* 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.

* 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:

Widens @Krionex's PR #16933 fix to cover the second bug class at the sibling
site. natural mode used to pass env values through int() before the PR
caught mis-typed values crashing the gateway; custom mode had the exact
same bug one branch away (HERMES_HUMAN_DELAY_MIN_MS=oops in custom mode
still crashed). Same try/except/fallback pattern, scoped to the two
int() calls that feed random.uniform().
Copilot review on PR #17012 noted the docstring/comment lists `0`
among the falsy effort values that fall back to `medium`, but the
existing regression tests only cover `None` and `""`. Add the third
case to lock in the full contract.

auxiliary.<task>.extra_body.reasoning, but the new translation path in
_CodexCompletionsAdapter.create() reads the effort with
``reasoning_cfg.get("effort", "medium")``. That returns the configured
value verbatim when the key is present, so ``effort: null`` /
``effort: ""`` (both common YAML shapes) flow through as
``{"effort": null, "summary": "auto"}`` and Codex rejects the request
with "Invalid value for parameter ``reasoning.effort``".
agent/transports/codex.py::build_kwargs() — which the new adapter is
documented to mirror — uses a truthy check (``elif
reasoning_config.get("effort"):``) so the same falsy values keep the
"medium" default. Switch the auxiliary adapter to the same
``or "medium"`` truthy form so identical config produces identical
requests on both paths.
- [x] Two new regression tests cover ``effort: None`` and
``effort: ""`` and assert the request goes out as
``{"effort": "medium", "summary": "auto"}``.
- [x] Old behaviour fails the new tests (``{'effort': None} !=
{'effort': 'medium'}``); fixed behaviour passes all 11 tests in the
``TestCodexAdapterReasoningTranslation`` class.
- [x] Adjacent suites green: ``tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py``
(108 passed) and ``tests/agent/transports/test_codex_transport.py +
test_chat_completions.py`` (73 passed).

The API server is a documented, first-class messaging platform with its own
gateway adapter, docs pages, and toolset. But it's the only messaging
platform missing from PLATFORM_HINTS in agent/prompt_builder.py.
Without a platform hint, the agent has no context about the API server's
rendering environment and defaults to markdown-heavy document-style outputs
(code fences, bold, bullet points) — which break on the plain-text frontends
most API server consumers wrap (Open WebUI, custom agents, third-party
bridges).
Adds a generic api_server entry that describes the medium (unknown rendering,
assume plain text) without encoding any specific use case. Individual consumers
can layer additional style guidance via ephemeral system prompts.
Before (DeepSeek V4 Pro via API server, no hint):
**Sendblue bridge** at /opt/sendblue-bridge - **68MB** on disk
After (same prompt, with hint):
Sendblue bridge at /opt/sendblue-bridge, 68MB on disk
No breaking changes — new dict entry only. Existing API server consumers see
no behavioral change except for models that previously defaulted to markdown
formatting, which now produce cleaner plain-text output.
Previously, pinning a skill blocked every skill_manage write action
(edit, patch, delete, write_file, remove_file). The 'hard fence'
design conflated two concerns:
1. Pin as deletion protection — don't let the curator archive
or the agent delete a stable skill.
2. Pin as content freeze — don't let the agent rewrite it mid-conversation.
In practice (1) is what users pin for: they want a skill to survive
curator passes. (2) created friction — agents finding a new pitfall
in a pinned skill had to ask the user to unpin, then the agent
patches, then the user re-pins. The dance discouraged skill
maintenance and pinned skills went stale.
This narrows the _pinned_guard to skill_manage(action='delete') only.
Patches, edits, and supporting-file writes go through on pinned
skills so the agent can keep improving them. The curator's own
pinned-skip behavior (agent/curator.py:271 for auto-archive,
line 349 for the LLM review prompt) is unchanged — curator still
never touches pinned skills.
Changes:
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: remove _pinned_guard calls from
_edit_skill, _patch_skill, _write_file, _remove_file; keep on
_delete_skill. Updated _pinned_guard docstring and error message.
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: updated skill_manage model-facing tool
description to reflect the new semantic.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/curator.md: updated pinning
section.
- tests/tools/test_skill_manager_tool.py: flipped refuses-pinned
tests for edit/patch/write_file/remove_file into allowed-when-pinned;
kept test_delete_refuses_pinned (strengthened assertion to check the
'cannot be deleted' wording).
Closes#18354
* feat(api-server): X-Hermes-Session-Key header for long-term memory scoping
API Server integrations (Open WebUI, custom web UIs) can now pass a stable
per-channel identifier via X-Hermes-Session-Key that scopes long-term memory
(Honcho, etc.) independently of the transcript-scoped X-Hermes-Session-Id.
This matches the native gateway's session_key / session_id split: one stable
key per assistant channel, many independent transcripts that rotate on /new.
- _create_agent and _run_agent accept gateway_session_key and pass it to
AIAgent(gateway_session_key=...), which is already honored by the Honcho
memory provider (plugins/memory/honcho/client.py resolve_session_name).
- New shared helper _parse_session_key_header applies the same API-key
gate, control-character sanitization, and a 256-char length cap as the
existing session-id header.
- All three agent endpoints honor the header: /v1/chat/completions,
/v1/responses, /v1/runs. JSON and SSE responses echo it back.
- /v1/capabilities advertises session_key_header so clients can
feature-detect.
Closes#20060.

* 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.

Covers four scenarios for the reasoning-box extraction loop:
- simple turn with reasoning
- simple turn with no reasoning
- tool-calling turn where reasoning lives on the tool-call step
- prior turn had reasoning, current turn does not (the stale-display
bug the fix exists for)
- tool-calling turn where reasoning lives on BOTH steps (latest wins)
- empty-string reasoning treated as missing
Also updates the four inline replica loops in tests/cli/test_reasoning_command.py
to match the new turn-boundary shape so the test file reflects
production semantics.
The YAML-to-env-var bridge in load_gateway_config() mapped every Discord
and Telegram config key (require_mention, auto_thread, reactions, etc.)
except reply_to_mode. Users setting discord.reply_to_mode or
telegram.reply_to_mode in ~/.hermes/config.yaml got no effect — the
adapter only read the env var, which nothing populated from YAML.
Add the missing bridge for both platforms, following the existing pattern.
Top-level <platform>.reply_to_mode preferred, falls back to
<platform>.extra.reply_to_mode, env var never overwritten. Handles YAML
1.1 bare `off` → Python False coercion.
This is a re-submission of the work from #9837 and #13930, which both
implemented the same fix but neither landed (see co-authors below).

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.
Closes the gap where write_file skipped the post-edit syntax check that
patch already ran, so silent file corruption (bad quote escaping,
truncated writes, etc.) would persist on disk until a later read.
## Changes
tools/file_operations.py:
- Add in-process linters for .py, .json, .yaml, .toml (LINTERS_INPROC).
Python uses ast.parse, JSON/YAML/TOML use stdlib/PyYAML parsers.
Zero subprocess overhead; preferred over shell linters when both apply.
- _check_lint() now accepts optional content and routes to in-process
linter first. Shell linter (py_compile, node --check, tsc, go vet,
rustfmt) remains the fallback for languages without an in-process
equivalent.
- New _check_lint_delta() implements the post-first/pre-lazy pattern
borrowed from Cline and OpenCode: lint post-write state first; only
if errors are found AND pre-content was captured does it lint the
pre-state and diff. If the pre-existing file had the SAME errors the
edit didn't introduce anything new, so the file is reported as 'still
broken, pre-existing' with success=False but a message explaining the
errors were pre-existing. If the edit introduced genuinely new errors,
those are surfaced and pre-existing ones are filtered out.
- WriteResult gains a lint field.
- write_file() captures pre-content for in-process-lintable extensions
and calls _check_lint_delta after a successful write.
- patch_replace() switches from _check_lint to _check_lint_delta,
reusing the pre-edit content it already has in scope.
tools/file_tools.py:
- Update write_file schema description to mention the post-write lint.
tests/tools/test_file_operations_edge_cases.py:
- Update existing brace-path tests to use .js (shell linter) now that
.py is in-process.
- Add TestCheckLintInproc (9 tests) covering Python/JSON/YAML/TOML
in-process linters.
- Add TestCheckLintDelta (5 tests) covering the post-first/pre-lazy
short-circuit, new-file path, and the single-error-parser caveat.
## Performance
In-process linters are microseconds per call (ast.parse, json.loads).
The hot path (clean write) runs exactly one lint — matches main's cost
for patch. Pre-state capture is skipped when the file has no applicable
linter. Measured 4.89ms/write average over 100 .py writes including lint.
## Inspiration
- Cline's DiffViewProvider.getNewDiagnosticProblems() — filters pre-write
diagnostics from post-write diagnostics (src/integrations/editor/DiffViewProvider.ts).
- OpenCode's WriteTool — runs lsp.diagnostics() after write and appends
errors to tool output (packages/opencode/src/tool/write.ts).
- Claude Code's DiagnosticTrackingService — captures baseline via
beforeFileEdited() and returns new-diagnostics-only from
getNewDiagnostics() (src/services/diagnosticTracking.ts).
## Validation
- tests/tools/test_file_operations.py + test_file_operations_edge_cases.py
+ test_file_tools.py + test_file_tools_live.py + test_file_write_safety.py
+ test_write_deny.py + test_patch_parser.py + test_file_ops_cwd_tracking.py:
228 passed locally.
- Live E2E reproduction of the tips.py corruption incident: broken
content written; lint field surfaces 'SyntaxError: invalid syntax.
Perhaps you forgot a comma? (line 6, column 5)' — the exact error
that would have self-corrected the bug on the next turn.
When the head ends with assistant/tool and the tail starts with assistant,
the summary is inserted as a standalone role="user" message. The body's
verbatim "## Active Task" quote then gets read as fresh user input by
weak/local models (#11475, #14521).
The merge-into-tail path already appends an explicit end-of-summary marker
for this reason. Mirror it on the standalone path so both insertion routes
give the model the same "summary above, not new input" signal.
discover_fallback_ips() filtered out any DoH-resolved IP that also appeared
in the system resolver's answer set, on the assumption that the system IP
was unreachable. When DoH and system DNS agreed (a common case), the
function returned the hardcoded _SEED_FALLBACK_IPS list instead — and on
networks where those seed addresses are not routable, the Telegram fallback
transport had nothing usable to retry against and polling failed.
Drop the system_ips exclusion so DoH-confirmed IPs are preserved regardless
of system DNS overlap. The TelegramFallbackTransport already tries the
primary path first via system DNS, then falls through to the IP-rewrite
path on connect failure; including the same IP in both lanes lets a
transient primary failure recover via the explicit IP route instead of
escalating to seed addresses.
Update the two tests that codified the old exclusion to reflect the new,
inclusion-by-default behaviour.
Fixes#14520
The helper under test writes to os.environ directly, bypassing
monkeypatch tracking. Without an explicit snapshot/restore fixture,
the mutation leaks into subsequent tests and breaks TestSharedBoardPaths
(kanban path resolution reads HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD and routes through
boards/<leaked-slug>/ instead of the test's own HERMES_HOME).
Add an autouse fixture that snapshots the env var before the test and
restores (or pops) it after, regardless of what the helper did.
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.
Closes#20074
* 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.
* fix(agent): stateful streaming scrubber for reasoning-block leaks (#17924)
Per-delta _strip_think_blocks ran at _fire_stream_delta and destroyed
downstream state. When MiniMax-M2.7 / DeepSeek / Qwen3 streamed a tag
split across deltas (delta1='<think>', delta2='Let me check'), the
regex case-2 match erased delta1 entirely, so CLI/gateway state
machines never learned a block was open and leaked delta2 as content.
Raw consumers (ACP, api_server, TTS) had no downstream defense at all.
Replace the per-delta regex with a stateful StreamingThinkScrubber
that survives delta boundaries:
- Closed <tag>X</tag> pairs always stripped (matches _strip_think_blocks
case 1).
- Unterminated open at block boundary enters a block; content
discarded until close tag arrives. At end-of-stream, held
content is dropped.
- Orphan close tags stripped without boundary gating.
- Partial tags at delta boundaries held back until resolved.
- Block-boundary rule (start-of-stream, after \n, or
whitespace-only since last \n) preserves prose that mentions
tag names.
Reset at turn start alongside the existing context scrubber; flush at
turn end so a benign '<' held back at end-of-stream reaches the UI.
E2E-verified on live OpenRouter->MiniMax-m2 streams: closed pairs
strip cleanly, first word of post-block content is preserved, pure
content passes through unchanged. Stefan's screenshot case (#17924)
— 'Let me check' getting chopped to ' me check' — no longer happens.
Final _strip_think_blocks calls on completed strings (final_response,
replay, compression) are preserved; only the streaming per-delta call
site switched to the scrubber.
MCP servers commonly emit JSON Schema `pattern` (e.g. `\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}`
for date-time params) and `format` keywords. llama.cpp's
`json-schema-to-grammar` converter rejects regex escape classes
(\\d/\\w/\\s) and most format values, returning HTTP 400
"parse: error parsing grammar: unknown escape at \\d" — the whole request
fails.
Cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini) accept these
keywords fine and use them as prompting hints. Stripping unconditionally
loses useful hints for every cloud user to fix a llama.cpp-only bug.
Approach: classify the llama.cpp grammar-parse 400 in the error
classifier, and on match do a one-shot in-place strip of pattern/format
from `self.tools`, then retry. Follows the existing
`thinking_signature` recovery pattern. Cloud users hit zero overhead;
llama.cpp users pay one failed request per session.
Changes
- agent/error_classifier.py: new `FailoverReason.llama_cpp_grammar_pattern`
+ narrow HTTP-400 branch matching "error parsing grammar",
"json-schema-to-grammar", or "unable to generate parser ... template".
- tools/schema_sanitizer.py: new `strip_pattern_and_format()` helper —
reactive, walks schema nodes, skips property names (search_files.pattern
survives). Returns strip count for logging.
- run_agent.py: new one-shot recovery block in the retry loop. Strips,
logs, continues. Falls through to normal retry if nothing to strip.
- tests: 4 classifier tests (3 variants + 1 non-400 negative), 7 strip
tests including the property-name preservation and idempotency checks.

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.

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 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

Address Copilot review on PR #17569:
1. _resolve_safe_cwd never tested the filesystem root because the loop
exited when `os.path.dirname(parent) == parent`, which is true once
`parent == '/'`. Restructure so the root is checked before the
self-equal exit. Adds `test_returns_root_when_only_root_exists` —
regression-guarded by reverting the loop and watching it fail.
2. The fake `Popen.stdout` was a `MagicMock`; `BaseEnvironment._wait_for_process`
calls `proc.stdout.fileno()` then `select.select`/`os.read` against it,
which raised `TypeError: fileno() returned a non-integer` (visible as a
thread exception in test output) and could in theory read from an
unrelated real fd. Hand `fake_popen` a real `os.pipe()` with the write
end pre-closed so the drain loop sees EOF immediately. Helper records
each fd so the test cleans up after itself.

`FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2]` before bash even started — every subsequent
terminal/file-tool call hit the same wedge until the gateway restarted.
Fix in `LocalEnvironment._run_bash`: before handing `self.cwd` to Popen,
resolve a safe alternative when the path is gone (walk up to the nearest
existing ancestor, falling back to `tempfile.gettempdir()` only as a last
resort). Log a warning so the recovery is visible — not silent — and
update `self.cwd` so the next call doesn't repeat the message.
Defense in depth in `LocalEnvironment._update_cwd`: only adopt the new
cwd when it still exists as a directory. `pwd -P` from a deleted cwd can
leave a stale value in the marker file; refusing to store a missing path
keeps `self.cwd` valid by construction.

PR #9931 ("feat(google-workspace): add --from flag for custom sender display name")
accidentally removed the required_credential_files frontmatter block that tells
hermes to bind-mount google_token.json and google_client_secret.json into Docker
and Modal remote terminals before running setup.py.
Without this header the credential files are never registered in the session-scoped
ContextVar, so get_credential_file_mounts() returns an empty list at container
creation time and the OAuth files are invisible inside the sandbox.

When the TUI backend (tui_gateway/entry.py) is spawned by Node.js with the
user's CWD containing a local utils/ directory, that directory shadows the
installed utils module, causing ImportError in run_agent and hermes_cli.
Strip '' and '.' from sys.path and prepend HERMES_PYTHON_SRC_ROOT (already
set by hermes_cli before spawning the subprocess) so installed packages
always win over CWD artifacts.

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.

The `used` property was reading `self._used` without holding the lock,
while `consume()`, `refund()`, and `remaining` all properly acquire
`self._lock` before accessing `_used`. This means a concurrent call to
`used` during `consume()` or `refund()` could observe a partially-
updated value, leading to incorrect iteration budget metrics reported
to the gateway, or in extreme cases a ValueError from CPython's list
implementation when the internal array resizes during iteration.
Fix: acquire the lock in `used` just like `remaining` does.

get_due_jobs() called load_jobs() and save_jobs() without holding
_jobs_file_lock, creating a race with the locked mark_job_run() and
advance_next_run(). Wrap get_due_jobs() with the lock (delegating to a
new _get_due_jobs_locked() inner function) so all load→modify→save
cycles are serialised. Add two regression tests: one verifying 3
concurrent mark_job_run() calls each land their correct last_status and
last_run_at without overwrites, and a stress test confirming 10 parallel
calls each increment their job's completed count to exactly 1.

MiniMax deprecated the old v1/t2a_v2 endpoint (api.minimax.io) and
moved to v1/text_to_speech (api.minimax.chat). The new API:
- Uses a flat payload: {model, text, voice_id} instead of nested
voice_setting / audio_setting objects
- Returns raw audio bytes (Content-Type: audio/mpeg) instead of
JSON with hex-encoded audio
- Uses model 'speech-01' instead of 'speech-2.8-hd'
- Updated default voice_id to 'female-shaonv' for Chinese TTS
The implementation detects Content-Type to handle both old and new
API responses, maintaining backward compatibility for any users who
manually configured the legacy base_url.
The cron scheduler's run_job() loaded config.yaml with yaml.safe_load()
but never called _expand_env_vars(), so ${HERMES_MODEL} and similar
references in model:, fallback_providers:, and other config.yaml fields
were forwarded to the LLM API as literal strings, causing HTTP 400 errors.
The normal CLI path has always called _expand_env_vars() via load_config(),
so this was a cron-only gap. The .env load at the top of run_job() already
populates os.environ before config.yaml is read, so the expansion sees the
correct values.

Add EMAIL_ALLOWED_USERS check in EmailAdapter._dispatch_message()
to silently discard emails from senders not in the allowlist. This
prevents the adapter from creating thread context and dispatching a
MessageEvent for unauthorized senders, which could race with the
gateway authorization check and result in SMTP replies being sent
despite the handler returning None.
Test: tests/gateway/test_email.py::TestDispatchMessage::test_non_allowlisted_sender_dropped

`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.

hermes doctor showed 'No GITHUB_TOKEN (60 req/hr)' warning even when
users had authenticated via gh auth login. Now falls back to
gh auth status --json authenticated when GITHUB_TOKEN and GH_TOKEN
are both unset.
Fixes#16115
The stale-code self-check (Issue #17648) used sentinel-file mtimes to
decide whether the gateway survived a `hermes update` with stale
`sys.modules`. That signal false-positives on any write to the
sentinel files — including agent-driven edits during Hermes-on-Hermes
dev sessions. Telling the agent to patch `run_agent.py` would flip
the check to True on the next user message and force a gateway
restart even though no update happened.
Switch the signal to `git rev-parse HEAD`. Agent file edits don't
move HEAD; `hermes update` (git pull) always does. Reading .git/HEAD
directly (no subprocess) with a 5s cache keeps the overhead negligible
on bursty chats. Non-git installs short-circuit to False — the
stale-modules class can't occur without a git-backed update path, so
there's nothing to detect.
The legacy `_compute_repo_mtime` helper is kept but unused by
detection, reserved as a fallback hook for future pip-install update
paths.
- _read_git_head_sha(): resolves HEAD across main checkout, worktree
(follows `gitdir:` + `commondir` pointers), and packed-refs layouts.
- _current_git_sha_cached(): per-runner 5s SHA cache.
- _detect_stale_code(): boot SHA vs current SHA, returns False when
either is unavailable.
- Tests cover all four layouts, the agent-edits-don't-trigger
regression, and cache behavior.
Refs #17648.
* revert: auto-subscribe gateway chat on tool-driven kanban_create (#19718)
Reverts ff3d2773e2. Teknium reviewed the merged PR and decided this
behavior isn't wanted — tool-driven kanban_create should not mirror
the slash-command path's auto-subscribe. Orchestrators that want
their originating chat notified can call kanban_notify-subscribe
explicitly; we're not going to make it implicit.
* feat(kanban-dashboard): per-platform home-channel notification toggles
Adds a "Notify home channels" section to the task drawer in the kanban
dashboard plugin. Each platform where the user has set a home channel
(/sethome, TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL env var, gateway.platforms.<p>.home_channel
in config.yaml) gets a toggle pill. Toggling on writes a kanban_notify_subs
row keyed to that platform's home (chat_id + thread_id); toggling off
removes it. The existing gateway notifier watcher delivers completed /
blocked / gave_up events without any new plumbing — this is purely a GUI
surface over existing machinery.
Replaces the reverted auto-subscribe behavior from #19718 with an explicit,
per-task, per-platform, user-controlled opt-in. No implicit subscription
on tool-driven kanban_create; no CLI commands; no slash commands. Just a
toggle in the drawer.
Backend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py):
- GET /api/plugins/kanban/home-channels[?task_id=X]
Returns every platform with a configured home, plus a per-entry
subscribed: bool relative to task_id (false when task_id omitted).
Reads the live GatewayConfig via load_gateway_config() so env-var
overlays stay honored.
- POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
Idempotent add_notify_sub keyed to the platform's home.
- DELETE /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
remove_notify_sub for the same tuple.
- 404 when the platform has no home configured, or task_id doesn't
exist (POST only).
Frontend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js):
- TaskDrawer fetches /home-channels on open, keyed on task_id.
- HomeSubsSection renders nothing when zero platforms have a home (so
users who haven't set one up don't see an empty UI block).
- Optimistic toggle with busy flag + revert-on-failure. One pill per
platform; ✓ prefix and --on class indicate the subscribed state.
CSS (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/style.css):
- .hermes-kanban-home-subs flex row + .hermes-kanban-home-sub pill
style + --on subscribed variant (subtle ring-colored background).
Live-tested against a dashboard with TELEGRAM + DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN /
HOME_CHANNEL env vars set: drawer shows both pills, toggling each
flips its visual state AND writes/removes the correct kanban_notify_subs
row (verified via direct DB read).
Tests (tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py, 11 new, 53/53
pass total):
- home-channels lists only platforms with a home (slack with a
token but no home is excluded)
- no task_id -> all subscribed=false
- subscribe creates notify_sub row with correct chat/thread/platform
- subscribed=true reflected in subsequent GET
- idempotent re-subscribe
- unknown platform -> 404
- unknown task -> 404
- unsubscribe removes the row
- telegram + discord subscribe/unsubscribe independent
- zero homes -> empty list
* 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.
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).
Five follow-ups to topic mode based on integration audit:
1. ON DELETE CASCADE on telegram_dm_topic_bindings.session_id. Session
pruning (manual /delete, auto-cleanup, any future prune job) would
have thrown 'FOREIGN KEY constraint failed' for sessions bound to a
topic. Migration bumped to v2, rebuilds the bindings table in place
if FK lacks CASCADE. Idempotent; only runs once per DB.
2. Never auto-rename operator-declared topics. If an operator has
extra.dm_topics configured AND a user runs /topic, messages in those
pre-declared topics would previously trigger auto-rename and silently
mutate operator config. _rename_telegram_topic_for_session_title now
early-returns when _get_dm_topic_info returns a dict for this
(chat_id, thread_id). Uses class-based lookup (not hasattr) so
MagicMock test fixtures don't accidentally trip the guard.
3. General topic handling. Telegram's General (pinned top) topic in a
forum-enabled private chat may send messages with message_thread_id=1
or omit thread_id entirely depending on client. Both are now treated
as the root lobby, not a topic lane. Prevents users from
accidentally burning a session on the General topic.
4. Debounce the root-lobby reminder. 30-second cooldown per chat so a
user who forgets topic mode is enabled and types ten messages in the
root gets one reminder, not ten. Explicit command replies
(/new-in-lobby, /topic <session-id>) still land every time.
5. Docs: added under-the-hood invariants for the above, plus a
Downgrade section explaining that rolling back to a pre-/topic
Hermes build leaves the DB tables orphaned but harmless — DMs just
revert to native per-thread isolation.
Tests:
- test_operator_declared_topic_is_not_auto_renamed
- test_general_topic_is_treated_as_root_lobby
- test_lobby_reminder_is_debounced_per_chat
- test_binding_survives_session_deletion_via_cascade
- test_migration_rebuilds_v1_binding_table_with_cascade_fk
Validated: 4803/4804 tests pass (tests/gateway/ + tests/test_hermes_state.py).
Sole failure is a pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing flake
unrelated to this PR.
Follow-up on @EmelyanenkoK's feat: add Telegram DM topic-mode sessions.
Three issues:
1. Split-brain session state. After get_or_create_session() returned a
SessionEntry for a topic lane, the handler was mutating
.session_id in place to the binding's target, but never persisting
the switch through SessionStore. The sessions.json session_key →
session_id map kept pointing at the lane's natural id; any reader
that reloaded from disk saw the wrong id. Fixed by routing through
SessionStore.switch_session(), which _save()s the mapping and ends
the old session in SQLite like /resume does.
2. /new inside a topic was a one-message no-op. Reset created a new
session but left the telegram_dm_topic_bindings row pointing at the
old session_id, so the next message's binding lookup switched right
back. Now _handle_reset_command rebinds the topic to the new
session_id after reset.
3. is_telegram_session_linked_to_topic and
list_unlinked_telegram_sessions_for_user both called
apply_telegram_topic_migration() on read, contradicting the PR's
own invariant that migration only runs on explicit /topic opt-in.
They now tolerate missing topic tables and return empty/False.
Also: _telegram_topic_mode_enabled() now only treats True as enabled
(not any truthy return), so test fixtures with MagicMock session_db
don't accidentally flip every DM into lobby mode — this was breaking
4 pre-existing test_status_command tests.
Tests:
- New regression: /new inside a topic must update the binding row
(test_new_inside_telegram_topic_rewrites_binding_to_new_session).
- _make_runner now stubs switch_session so existing restore tests
still exercise the new code path.
Validated end-to-end with real SessionDB + SessionStore:
readers on fresh DB don't create topic tables; enable creates them;
binding override persists across SessionStore restart; /new rebinds
and the new id survives a restart.

Adapted from PR #19188 by @LeonSGP43 — mocks cli_output helpers and
verifies interactive_setup persists credentials to .env without
crashing. Also adds megastary to AUTHOR_MAP.
Per https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/fast-mode:
"Fast mode is currently supported on Opus 4.6 only. Sending speed: fast
with an unsupported model returns an error."
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
Prevents pre-existing TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER or SMS_WEBHOOK_URL values in
the outer test environment from leaking into the assertion context.

Clear inherited provider preference filters when delegation.provider is set so delegated children do not route back to the parent provider. Add a regression test for cross-provider delegation with parent OpenRouter filters.
Closes#10653
When a delegation child session (e.g. source='telegram') contains the
FTS5 hit but _resolve_to_parent() maps it to a different root session
(source='api_server'), the result entry was still reporting the child's
source because the loop discarded session_meta as `_` and fell back to
match_info.get('source'), which carries the child session's value.
Use the resolved parent's session_meta for source, model, and started_at
with match_info as a fallback, so the output accurately reflects the
session the user actually interacted with.

`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).

Gemini's OpenAI-compatibility endpoint strictly requires the `name` field
on `role: tool` messages — it returns HTTP 400 ("Request contains an
invalid argument") when the function name is missing. OpenAI/Anthropic/
ollama tolerate the absence, so the gap stays invisible until the
conversation accumulates a tool turn and the user routes it through Gemini
(direct API or via ollama-cloud proxy).
Fix: add a `_get_tool_call_name_static()` helper alongside the existing
`_get_tool_call_id_static()`, and populate `name` at every site that
constructs a `role: tool` message — the pre-call sanitizer stub, the
tool-call args repair marker, both interrupt-skip paths, both
result-append paths (parallel + sequential), the invalid-tool-name
recovery, the invalid-JSON-args recovery, and the exception fallback.
Each call site was already in scope of the function name (`function_name`,
`skipped_name`, `name`, or a dict tool_call), so the change is local —
no new lookups, no behavior change for providers that already worked.
Fixes#16478
Keep the configured vision provider when base_url is overridden so credential-pool lookup still resolves provider-specific API keys (e.g. ZAI_API_KEY), and add a regression test for this path.
Generic 400 and server-disconnect heuristics used absolute token/message-count fallbacks that are too aggressive for 1M context sessions. Gate those absolute fallbacks to smaller context windows while preserving relative pressure checks.

Reverts ff3d2773e2. Teknium reviewed the merged PR and decided this
behavior isn't wanted — tool-driven kanban_create should not mirror
the slash-command path's auto-subscribe. Orchestrators that want
their originating chat notified can call kanban_notify-subscribe
explicitly; we're not going to make it implicit.
Closes#19479.
When an orchestrator agent calls kanban_create from a gateway session
(e.g. a Telegram user delegating to an orchestrator profile), auto-
subscribe the originating (platform, chat, thread, user) to the new
task's terminal events. Mirrors the behavior of the /kanban create
slash command in gateway/run.py so tool-driven creation is at parity
with human-driven creation.
Without this, a user who interacts with an orchestrator exclusively
via the gateway never receives blocked / completed / gave_up
notifications for tasks the orchestrator created on their behalf —
silently breaking the gateway-first multi-agent flow the reporter
describes.
Reads the context-local HERMES_SESSION_* vars via get_session_env()
(not os.environ — those are contextvars for asyncio concurrency
safety). Falls through cleanly in CLI / cron contexts with no
session active (subscribed=False in the response). Best-effort: if
the gateway module isn't importable (test rigs stubbing gateway.*),
the task still creates, we just skip the subscription.
Response gains a 'subscribed' bool so the orchestrator knows whether
terminal events will land back in the originating chat or whether it
needs to poll / unblock manually.
Tests: 4 new in tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py covering
CLI/no-subscribe, telegram/gateway-auto-subscribe, discord-DM/no-
thread subscribe, and partial-ctx/no-chat_id no-subscribe. 40/40
kanban tool tests pass.
Open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM) sometimes emit tool calls like
`{"urls": "https://a.com"}` when the tool schema declares
`type: array`. The call was JSON-valid but semantically wrong, and
`coerce_tool_args` would pass the bare string through — the tool then
failed with a confusing type error.
`coerce_tool_args` now wraps non-list, non-null values in a
single-element list when the schema declares `array`. Strings still go
through `_coerce_value` first so JSON-encoded arrays
(`'["a","b"]'`) parse correctly and nullable `"null"` still
becomes `None`. `None` itself is preserved — tools with sensible
defaults already handle it, and we don't want to silently mask a
deliberate null.
Salvaged from #19652 (NikolayGusev-astra) — the broader validate-then-
repair layer had several issues (duplicated existing coercion,
mis-classified `old_string` as a path field, prepended non-JSON
prefixes to tool results that break downstream JSON parsing, hardcoded
offset/limit defaults unsuitable for non-read_file tools). The one
genuinely new capability is wrapping bare scalars, which is implemented
here directly inside the existing coercion path.

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`.
Closes#19534 (security).
A worker spawned by the kanban dispatcher has HERMES_KANBAN_TASK set
to its own task id. The destructive tools (kanban_complete,
kanban_block, kanban_heartbeat) resolved task_id via
_default_task_id() which preferred an explicit arg over the env var,
with no ownership check — so a buggy or prompt-injected worker could
complete / block / heartbeat any OTHER task (sibling, cross-tenant,
anything) by supplying its id. Reporter's repro: worker for t_A
passed task_id=t_B to kanban_complete and got {"ok": true}.
Fix: add _enforce_worker_task_ownership(tid). If HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
is set and tid doesn't match, return a structured tool error with
guidance to use kanban_comment (for information handoff across tasks)
or kanban_create (for follow-up work). Orchestrator profiles (no env
var, but kanban toolset enabled per #18968) are exempt — their job
is routing and sometimes includes closing out child tasks.
Kept unrestricted (deliberately):
- kanban_show — workers legitimately read parent/sibling handoff context
- kanban_comment — cross-task comments are the handoff mechanism
- kanban_create — orchestrator fan-out, worker follow-up spawning
- kanban_link — parent/child linking
Tests: 5 new regression tests in tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py
covering the grid (worker-attacks-foreign ×3 tools, worker-own-task
preserved, orchestrator-unrestricted). 36/36 pass.
Instead of an unhelpful CalledProcessError traceback when running
`hermes gateway start/stop/restart` without first installing the service,
check for the unit file and exit with an actionable install hint.

Reporter of #19535 explicitly asked for a regression test — covers it
here so a future refactor of _set_status_direct can't silently re-enable
the direct ready/todo -> running bypass.
Asserts both: (a) HTTP 400 with 'running' in the detail message, and
(b) the task's status is unchanged after the rejected PATCH (pre-request
status preserved, no partial mutation).
The test 'test_inf_stays_string_for_integer_only' incorrectly asserted
that _coerce_number('inf') returns float('inf'), but the function
correctly returns the original string 'inf' because infinity is not
JSON-serializable.
Fixed the assertion to expect the string 'inf', and added two new tests
for negative infinity and NaN edge cases to improve coverage of the
non-JSON-serializable number guard in _coerce_number().
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).
Closes#18498.
- Add normalize_profile_name() for lowercase canonical IDs and Default alias
- Use canonical names in create/delete/rename/export/import/set_active paths
- Canonicalize Kanban assignee on create/assign, list filter, and worker spawn
- Tests for mixed-case assignees and profile resolution (fixes#18498)
`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().

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.
AnyUrl was imported inside the same try block as mcp.client.auth, so
when the mcp package was not installed, AnyUrl was undefined and
_build_client_metadata raised NameError at runtime.
Moved the AnyUrl import to its own try/except block so it's available
whenever pydantic is installed (which is a core dependency), regardless
of whether the mcp SDK is present.
Also added pytest.importorskip('mcp') to the three
test_build_client_metadata tests that exercise _build_client_metadata,
since that function depends on OAuthClientMetadata from the mcp package.
Six tests in test_bedrock_adapter.py import botocore.exceptions
directly (ConnectionClosedError, EndpointConnectionError,
ReadTimeoutError, ClientError) without guarding the import. When
botocore is not installed (it's an optional dependency), these tests
fail with ModuleNotFoundError instead of being gracefully skipped.
Added pytest.importorskip('botocore') to each affected test function,
following the same pattern used elsewhere in the test suite (e.g.
test_voice_mode.py for numpy, test_mcp_oauth.py for mcp).
Tests affected:
- TestIsStaleConnectionError: 3 tests
- TestCallConverseInvalidatesOnStaleError: 3 tests
Before: 6 FAIL with ModuleNotFoundError
After: 6 SKIP with reason message
TestTranscribeLocalExtended patches faster_whisper.WhisperModel, which
triggers an ImportError when the faster_whisper package is not installed.
Added a pytest.mark.skipif marker using importlib.util.find_spec so
these tests are gracefully skipped instead of failing with
ModuleNotFoundError.
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).
Set max_result_size_chars=100_000 on the read_file registry entry (was
float('inf')), closing the Layer 2 defense-in-depth gap in
tool_result_storage.py. The existing Layer 1 guard inside
_handle_read_file already returns a JSON error for oversized reads;
this aligns the registry cap with every other tool.
Update test_read_file_never_persisted → test_read_file_result_size_cap
to assert 100_000, and add test_read_file_registry_cap_is_100k as an
explicit regression guard against re-introducing float('inf').

The contributor's PR silently swallowed ValueError from
SessionDB.set_session_title() with bare except Exception: pass.
Users typing /new <title> with an already-in-use title got an
untitled session and no feedback.
Changes:
- cli.py: catch ValueError from both sanitize_title() and
set_session_title(); print the error and mark the session
untitled in the banner (never echo the rejected title back).
- gateway/run.py: append a warning note to the reset reply on
title rejection; reflect the accepted title in the header.
- Add regression tests for the duplicate-title path in CLI and
gateway.
Also map exx@example.com -> @exxmen in scripts/release.py.
Allow users to start a fresh session and immediately set its title by
passing a name to /new (or /reset):
/new Refactor auth module
Changes:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add args_hint='[name]' to /new command
- cli.py: parse title argument in process_command(), pass to new_session()
- cli.py: new_session() accepts title=None, sets title via SessionDB
- gateway/run.py: _handle_reset_command() parses title, sets on new entry
- gateway/session.py: reset_session() accepts optional display_name
- tests: add test_new_session_with_title, test_reset_command_with_title,
test_new_command_in_help_output
All 36 affected tests pass.
Treat explicit CDP override mode as a valid browser backend even when agent-browser is absent, and add a regression test to prevent false-negative availability gating.
The 'q' alias is defined for 'queue' command in commands.py:93.
The hardcoded 'q' in cli.py:5910 was dead code - resolve_command('q')
returns the queue CommandDef, so canonical would never be 'q'.
Removes the misleading check without changing any behavior:
- /quit and /exit still exit (defined aliases)
- /q still maps to queue (as intended)
Tighten the provenance semantics added in #19618: skills a user asks a
foreground agent to write via skill_manage(create) now stay invisible to
the curator. Only skills the background self-improvement review fork
sediments through skill_manage get the created_by=agent marker.
- tools/skill_provenance.py — new ContextVar module mirroring the
_approval_session_key pattern: set_current_write_origin / reset /
get / is_background_review. Default origin is 'foreground'; the
review fork sets 'background_review'.
- run_agent.py — run_conversation() binds the ContextVar from
self._memory_write_origin at the top of each call. The review fork
runs on its own thread (fresh context), so foreground and review
contexts never cross-contaminate.
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py — skill_manage(action='create') now
only calls mark_agent_created() when is_background_review(). All
other cases (foreground create, patch, edit, write_file, delete)
continue as before.
- tests: test_skill_provenance.py (6 tests covering the ContextVar
surface), split test_full_create_via_dispatcher into foreground
vs. review-fork variants, curator status tests now mark-first.
Why: the agent routinely edits existing user skills on the user's
behalf; those writes must never flip provenance. And when a user
explicitly asks the foreground agent to create a skill, that skill
belongs to the user. The curator should only be cleaning up after
its own autonomous sediment from the review nudge loop.
_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.
Fixes#15229
PR #19427 dropped the 'You are a Kanban worker' identity line from
KANBAN_GUIDANCE so SOUL.md stays authoritative for profile identity.
This test assertion was stale against that change; update it to the
new protocol-only header.
_build_child_agent constructed child AIAgents without passing
fallback_model, leaving _fallback_chain=[] for every subagent.
When a subagent hit a rate-limit or credential exhaustion the
runtime fallback check (run_agent.py:7486 / 12267) found an empty
chain and failed immediately — even though the parent agent was
configured with fallback_providers and would have recovered.
The cron scheduler already propagates fallback_model correctly
(scheduler.py:1038). Fix closes the parity gap by reading the
parent's _fallback_chain (the normalised list form accepted by
AIAgent's fallback_model parameter) and threading it through.
Empty chains coerce to None so AIAgent initialises _fallback_chain=[]
as usual rather than iterating an empty list.
Preflight compression can run synchronously before the first model call when a loaded session exceeds the active context threshold. Gateway users saw no visible progress while the compression LLM call was in flight, which can look like a dropped message during long compactions.\n\nEmit the existing lifecycle status through _emit_status before starting preflight compression so CLI, gateway, and WebUI status callbacks all get immediate feedback.\n\nAdds a regression assertion for the preflight path.
Follow-up to #19586 (@cixuuz salvage): _get_ancestor_pids walks ps -o ppid=
up the process tree, which the pre-existing mock in
test_find_gateway_pids_falls_back_to_pid_file_when_process_scan_fails didn't
expect. Return empty stdout so the ancestor loop terminates cleanly and the
original fallback assertion still passes.
Quick commands of type "alias" that target built-in slash commands
(e.g. /h -> /model) were processed too late in _handle_message — after
the if-canonical=="model" checks. This meant alias expansion never
reached the target handler and fell through to the LLM as raw text.
Two fixes:
1. Move the quick_commands block before built-in dispatch so alias
targets (like /model) hit the correct handler after expansion.
2. Extract bare command name from target_command via .split()[0] to
feed _resolve_cmd() correctly (was using the full arg-string).
_setup_slack() was the only platform setup function that did not prompt
for a home channel. All four sibling setups (_setup_telegram,
_setup_discord, _setup_mattermost, _setup_bluebubbles) close with an
identical home-channel block, and setup_gateway() already checks for
SLACK_HOME_CHANNEL presence at the end of the wizard — but the value
was never collected, leaving cron delivery and cross-platform
notifications silently broken for Slack after a fresh hermes setup run.
Add the standard home-channel prompt at the end of _setup_slack(),
symmetric with the Discord implementation. Add two unit tests that
verify the prompt is saved when provided and skipped when left blank.
Adds four regression tests guarding the bugfix in the previous commit:
- TestGetDueJobs::test_broken_cron_without_next_run_is_recovered exercises
cron schedules whose next_run_at was lost; expects compute_next_run to
repopulate it within get_due_jobs() rather than silently skipping the job.
- TestGetDueJobs::test_broken_interval_without_next_run_is_recovered does
the same for interval schedules.
- TestResolveOrigin::test_string_origin_is_tolerated and
test_non_dict_origin_is_tolerated confirm _resolve_origin() returns None
for legacy/hand-edited origins (string, list, int) instead of raising.

Follow-up on #9925 cherry-pick adding two additional tests:
- bytes content hashes identically to its str-decoded form
- mixed bytes+str bundle hash equals the on-disk content_hash from

Also map dodofun@126.com and 1615063567@qq.com in AUTHOR_MAP so the

_classify_removed_skills used naive 'in' substring matching to detect
whether a removed skill's name appeared in skill_manage arguments.
Short/common skill names (api, git, test, foo, etc.) matched
incorrectly when they appeared as substrings of longer words in file
paths (references/api-design.md) or content (latest, testing).
Replace with field-aware matching:
- file_path: needle must match a complete filename stem or directory
name, with -/_ normalised for variant tolerance
- content fields: word-boundary regex (\b) prevents embedding in
longer words
Also add 3 regression tests covering the false-positive scenarios.
list_profiles_on_disk() hardcodes Path.home() / ".hermes" / "profiles",
ignoring HERMES_HOME when set to a custom root (e.g. /opt/data).
Add test_list_profiles_on_disk_custom_root to cover this case.
Related to #18442, #18985.
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
`_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.
Cron jobs that reference skills via their skills: config never bumped
the usage counters in .usage.json, so the curator could auto-archive
skills actively used by cron jobs based on stale timestamps.
Now _build_job_prompt() calls bump_use(skill_name) for each
successfully loaded skill so the curator sees them as active.
_try_anthropic() lacked the explicit_api_key parameter added to
_try_openrouter() in #18768. When resolve_provider_client() is called
with provider="anthropic" and an explicit key (e.g. from a fallback_model
entry with api_key set), the key was silently ignored — _try_anthropic()
always fell back to resolve_anthropic_token(), so the fallback returned
None,None for users without a default Anthropic credential configured.
Fix: add explicit_api_key: str = None to _try_anthropic() and use
explicit_api_key or <pool/env fallback> in both the pool-present and
no-pool paths. Pass explicit_api_key=explicit_api_key at the call site
in resolve_provider_client(). Symmetric with the _try_openrouter() fix.
No behavior change when explicit_api_key is None.
Users commonly place `require_mention: true` at the top level of
config.yaml alongside `group_sessions_per_user`, expecting it to gate
Telegram group messages. The key was silently ignored because the
config loader only checked `yaml_cfg["telegram"]["require_mention"]`.
When `require_mention` is found at the top level and no telegram-specific
value is set, the fix now:
- adds it to platforms_data["telegram"]["extra"] so _telegram_require_mention()
picks it up via the primary config.extra path
- sets TELEGRAM_REQUIRE_MENTION env var for the secondary fallback path
A telegram-specific value (telegram.require_mention) still takes
precedence over the top-level shorthand.
Also corrects telegram.md: bare /cmd without @botname is rejected when
require_mention is enabled; only /cmd@botname (bot-menu form) passes.

Deduplicate exact and near-exact Discord voice STT transcripts per guild/user over a short window to avoid duplicate delayed agent replies.
Adds regression tests for exact and near-duplicate voice transcript suppression.
Curator review fork now forwards per-slot credentials from auxiliary.curator
and legacy curator.auxiliary to resolve_runtime_provider, matching the
canonical aux task schema. Add regression tests for binding and main fallback.
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.

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.
Fixes#19348
CLI/TUI sessions on the local backend now unconditionally use
os.getcwd() as the working directory. The terminal.cwd config value is
only consumed by gateway/cron/delegation modes (where there's no shell
to cd from).
Previously, 'hermes setup' would write an absolute path (e.g. $HOME)
into terminal.cwd which then pinned the CLI to that directory regardless
of where the user launched hermes from. This was a silent foot-gun —
the user's 'cd' was being ignored.
Changes:
1. cli.py: Restructured CWD resolution — if TERMINAL_CWD is not already
set by the gateway, and the backend is local, always use os.getcwd().
Config terminal.cwd is irrelevant for interactive CLI/TUI sessions.
2. setup.py: Moved the cwd prompt from setup_terminal_backend() to
setup_gateway(). It now only appears when configuring messaging
platforms and is labeled 'Gateway working directory'.
3. Tests: Rewrote test_cwd_env_respect.py to validate the new behavior:
explicit config paths are ignored for CLI, gateway pre-set values are
preserved, non-local backends keep their config paths.
4. Docs: Updated configuration.md, profiles.md, and
environment-variables.md to clarify that terminal.cwd only affects
gateway/cron mode on local backend.
Closes#19214
Apply agent.redact.redact_sensitive_text with force=True to log content
captured by _capture_log_snapshot before it reaches upload_to_pastebin.
On-disk logs are untouched. Compatible with the off-by-default local
redaction policy from #16794: this is upload-time-only and applies
regardless of security.redact_secrets because the public paste service
is the leak surface. A visible banner is prepended to each uploaded log
paste so reviewers know redaction was applied. --no-redact preserves
deliberate unredacted sharing for maintainer-coordinated cases.
The bug-report, setup-help, and feature-request issue templates direct
users to run hermes debug share and paste the resulting public URLs.
With redaction off by default per #16794, those uploads have been
carrying credentials onto paste.rs and dpaste.com.
force=True is non-negotiable: without it, redact_sensitive_text
short-circuits at agent/redact.py:322 when the env var is unset, so the
fix would silently be a no-op for its target audience. A regression
test pins this down.
Fixes#19316
* feat: add video_analyze tool for native video understanding
Adds a video_analyze tool that sends video files to multimodal LLMs
(e.g. Gemini) for analysis via the OpenRouter-compatible video_url
content type. Mirrors vision_analyze in structure, error handling,
and registration pattern.
Key design:
- Base64 encodes entire video (no frame extraction, no ffmpeg dep)
- Uses 'video_url' content block type (OpenRouter standard)
- Supports mp4, webm, mov, avi, mkv, mpeg formats
- 50 MB hard cap, 20 MB warning threshold
- 180s minimum timeout (videos take longer than images)
- AUXILIARY_VIDEO_MODEL env override, falls back to AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL
- Same SSRF protection, retry logic, and cleanup as vision_analyze
Default disabled: registered in 'video' toolset (not in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS).
Users opt in via: hermes tools enable video, or enabled_toolsets=['video'].
* feat(video): add models.dev capability pre-check + CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry
- Pre-checks model video capability via models.dev modalities.input
before expensive base64 encoding. Fails early with helpful message
suggesting video-capable alternatives (gemini, mimo-v2.5-pro).
- Passes optimistically if model unknown or lookup fails.
- Adds ModelInfo.supports_video_input() helper.
- Adds 'video' to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS and _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
so 'hermes tools enable video' works from CLI.
- 8 new tests for the capability check (37 total).
* refactor(video): remove models.dev capability pre-check
Removes _check_video_model_capability and ModelInfo.supports_video_input.
The vision_analyze tool doesn't pre-check image capability either — both
tools rely on the same pattern: send request, handle API errors gracefully
with categorized user-facing messages. The pre-check was inconsistent
(only worked for some providers/models) so drop it for parity.
* cleanup: compress comments, fix fragile timeout coupling
- Replace _VISION_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT * 2 with hardcoded 60s (no silent
breakage if vision timeout changes independently)
- Strip verbose comments and redundant log lines throughout
- No behavioral changes
Under context pressure, frontier models sometimes emit tool calls with
required fields dropped. Previously _handle_write_file() used
args.get('content', '') which substituted an empty string for the missing
key, returned success with bytes_written=0, and created a zero-byte file
on disk. The model had no way to detect the failure.
Changes:
- Reject calls where 'path' is absent or not a non-empty string
- Reject calls where 'content' key is entirely absent (key-presence check,
not truthiness) — distinguishing a legitimately empty file from a dropped arg
- Reject calls where 'content' is a non-string type
- All error messages include guidance to re-emit the tool call or switch
to execute_code with hermes_tools.write_file() for large payloads
- Explicit empty string content (file truncation) continues to work
Regression tests added for all four cases: missing path, missing content,
explicit-empty content, and wrong content type.
Fixes#19096
``_resolve_origin`` called ``origin.get('platform')`` on whatever
``job.get('origin')`` returned. The leading ``if not origin: return None``
short-circuited the falsy cases (None, empty dict, "") but a non-empty
string passed that guard and then crashed with
``AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'`` on every fire
attempt. Observed in the wild after a migration script tagged jobs with
free-form provenance strings (e.g.
``"combined-digest-replaces-x-and-y-20260503"``).
``mark_job_run`` did record ``last_status: error,
last_error: "'str' object has no attribute 'get'"`` once, but the next
tick re-loaded the same poisoned origin and crashed identically. The
job stayed enabled, fired every tick, and accumulated cascading errors
in the log until ``origin`` was patched manually.
Replace the falsy guard with ``isinstance(origin, dict)``. Non-dict
origins (string, int, list, tuple, float — anything that survived a
hand-edit, JSON-script write, or migration) are now treated the same
as a missing origin: the job continues with ``deliver`` falling back
through its normal home-channel path instead of crashing the scheduler
loop.
Test parametrises the non-dict shapes that can appear in jobs.json
through external writers and asserts ``_resolve_origin`` returns None
for each.
Note: this fix scope is the non-dict-``origin`` crash only. The
``next_run_at: null`` recurring-job recovery (the second sub-bug in
#18722) is independently addressed by the in-flight #18825, which
extends the never-silently-disable defense from #16265 to
``get_due_jobs()`` — that approach is well-aligned with the existing
recovery pattern and ships fine without a competing change here.
Fixes#18722 (non-dict origin crash; recurring-job recovery covered by #18825)
/goal was silently broken outside the classic CLI.
TUI: /goal was routed through the HermesCLI slash-worker subprocess,
which set the goal row in SessionDB but then called
_pending_input.put(state.goal) — the subprocess has no reader for that
queue, so the kickoff message was discarded. No post-turn judge was
wired into prompt.submit either, so even a manual kickoff would not
continue the goal loop. Intercept /goal in command.dispatch instead,
drive GoalManager directly, and return {type: send, notice, message}
so the TUI client renders the Goal-set notice and fires the kickoff.
Run the judge in _run_prompt_submit after message.complete, surface
the verdict via status.update {kind: goal}, and chain the continuation
turn after the running guard is released.
Gateway: _post_turn_goal_continuation was gated on
hasattr(adapter, 'send_message'), but adapters only expose send().
That branch was dead on every platform — users never saw
'✓ Goal achieved', 'Continuing toward goal', or budget-exhausted
messages. Replace the dead call with adapter.send(chat_id, content,
metadata) and drop a broken reference to self._loop.
Tests:
- tests/tui_gateway/test_goal_command.py — full /goal dispatch matrix
(set / status / pause / resume / clear / stop / done / whitespace)
plus regressions for slash.exec → 4018 and 'goal' staying in
_PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS.
- tests/gateway/test_goal_verdict_send.py — locks in the adapter.send
path for done / continue / budget-exhausted and verifies the hook
no-ops when no goal is set or the adapter lacks send().
SlackAdapter.connect() overwrote self._handler, self._app, and
self._socket_mode_task without closing the prior AsyncSocketModeHandler
first. If connect() was called a second time on the same adapter (e.g.
during a gateway restart or in-process reconnect attempt), the old Socket
Mode websocket stayed alive. Both the old and new connections received
every Slack event and dispatched it twice — producing double responses
with different wording, the same bug that affected DiscordAdapter (#18187,
fixed in #18758).
Fix: add a close-before-reassign guard at the start of the connection
setup path, mirroring the guard DiscordAdapter.connect() already has.
When self._handler is None (fresh adapter, first connect()) the block is
a harmless no-op. Scoped to the handler/app fields only — no behavior
change for any path that does not call connect() twice.

- TestClampCommandNamesTriples: unit tests for 3-tuple support in
_clamp_command_names (short names, long names, collisions, multiple

Enable OpenRouter's response caching feature (beta) via X-OpenRouter-Cache
headers. When enabled, identical API requests return cached responses for
free (zero billing), reducing both latency and cost.
Configuration via config.yaml:
openrouter:
response_cache: true # default: on
response_cache_ttl: 300 # 1-86400 seconds
Changes:
- Add openrouter config section to DEFAULT_CONFIG (response_cache + TTL)
- Add build_or_headers() in auxiliary_client.py that builds attribution
headers plus optional cache headers based on config
- Replace inline _OR_HEADERS dicts with build_or_headers() at all 5 sites:
run_agent.py __init__, _apply_client_headers_for_base_url(), and
auxiliary_client.py _try_openrouter() + _to_async_client()
- Add _check_openrouter_cache_status() method to AIAgent that reads
X-OpenRouter-Cache-Status from streaming response headers and logs
HIT/MISS status
- Document in cli-config.yaml.example
- Add 28 tests (22 unit + 6 integration)
Ref: https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/features/response-caching
When resolve_provider_client() passes explicit_api_key for OpenRouter auxiliary
tasks, _try_openrouter() now accepts and honors this parameter instead of
silently ignoring it and falling back to OPENROUTER_API_KEY env var.
Root cause: _try_openrouter() had no explicit_api_key parameter, so even
when callers wanted to pass a runtime credential pool key, it could not be used.
Fix:
- Add explicit_api_key: str = None parameter to _try_openrouter()
- Prioritize explicit_api_key over pool key and env var
- Update resolve_provider_client() call site to pass explicit_api_key
Regression coverage:
- Test that explicit_api_key is passed to OpenAI client when provided
- Test that fallback to OPENROUTER_API_KEY still works when explicit_api_key is None
Closes#18338
Two mitigations for the CLOSE_WAIT accumulation reported against QQ Bot
+ Feishu on macOS behind Cloudflare Warp.
1. Shared httpx.Limits helper (gateway/platforms/_http_client_limits.py).
Every long-lived platform adapter now constructs httpx.AsyncClient
with max_keepalive_connections=10 and keepalive_expiry=2.0, vs httpx's
default of unbounded keepalive pool and 5.0s expiry. On macOS/Warp the
default 5s window let idle keepalive sockets sit in CLOSE_WAIT long
enough for seven persistent adapters (QQ Bot, WeCom, DingTalk, Signal,
BlueBubbles, WeCom-callback, plus the transient Feishu helper) to
compound to the 256-fd ulimit. Tunable via
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_KEEPALIVE_EXPIRY and
HERMES_GATEWAY_HTTPX_MAX_KEEPALIVE env vars.
2. whatsapp.send_typing aiohttp leak. The call was
'await self._http_session.post(...)' with no 'async with' and no
variable capture — the ClientResponse went out of scope unclosed,
holding its TCP socket in CLOSE_WAIT until GC. Fixed by wrapping in
'async with'. This was the only bare-await aiohttp leak in the
gateway/tools/plugins tree per audit; all other aiohttp sites use
the context-manager pattern correctly.
The underlying reporter also saw Feishu SDK (lark-oapi) connections in
CLOSE_WAIT — those are inside the SDK and out of our direct control, but
tightening httpx keepalive across adapters reduces the aggregate pool
pressure regardless of which individual adapter leaks.
Snapshot Content-Type and body while the client context is still
active so pooled connections fully release on exit. Previously the
read happened after `async with httpx.AsyncClient(...)` returned —
which works today only because httpx eagerly buffers non-streaming
responses; a future refactor to `.stream()` would silently read-
after-close.
Part of the #18451 connection-hygiene audit. Salvage of #18502.
When a provider's credential pool has a single entry in 429-cooldown,
resolve_provider_client returns None and AIAgent.__init__ raises a
misleading RuntimeError suggesting the API key is missing — even when
valid fallback_providers are configured.
This patch makes __init__ iterate the fallback chain before raising,
mirroring the existing in-flight fallback logic in the request loop.
If a fallback resolves, the agent initializes against it and sets
_fallback_activated=True so _restore_primary_runtime can pick the
primary back up after cooldown.
Closes#17929
* fix(gateway): config.yaml wins over .env for agent/display/timezone settings
Regression from the silent config→env bridge. The bridge at module import
time is correct for max_turns (unconditional overwrite), but every other
agent.*, display.*, timezone, and security bridge key was guarded by
'if X not in os.environ' — so a stale .env entry from an old 'hermes setup'
run would shadow the user's current config.yaml indefinitely.
Symptom: agent.max_turns: 500 in config.yaml, HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS=60
in .env from an old setup, and the gateway silently capped at 60
iterations per turn. Gateway logs confirmed api_calls never exceeded 60.
Three changes:
1. gateway/run.py: drop the 'not in os.environ' guards for all agent.*,
display.*, timezone, and security.* bridge keys. config.yaml is now
authoritative for these settings — same semantics already in place
for max_turns, terminal.*, and auxiliary.*. Also surface the bridge
failure (previously 'except Exception: pass') to stderr so operators
see bridge errors instead of silently falling back to .env.
2. gateway/run.py: INFO-log the resolved max_iterations at gateway
start so operators can verify the config→env bridge did the right
thing instead of chasing a phantom budget ceiling.
3. hermes_cli/setup.py: stop writing HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS to .env in
the setup wizard. config.yaml is the single source of truth. Also
clean up any stale .env entry left behind by pre-fix setups.
Regression tests in tests/gateway/test_config_env_bridge_authority.py
guard each config→env key against the 'stale .env shadows config' bug.
* fix(gateway): shutdown + restart hygiene (drain timeout, false-fatal, success log)
Three issues observed in production gateway.log during a rapid restart
chain on 2026-05-02, all fixed here.
1. _send_restart_notification logged unconditional success
adapter.send() catches provider errors (e.g. Telegram 'Chat not found')
and returns SendResult(success=False); it never raises. The caller
ignored the return value and always logged 'Sent restart notification
to <chat>' at INFO, producing a misleading success line directly
below the 'Failed to send Telegram message' traceback on every boot.
Now inspects result.success and logs WARNING with the error otherwise.
2. WhatsApp bridge SIGTERM on shutdown classified as fatal error
_check_managed_bridge_exit() saw the bridge's returncode -15 (our own
SIGTERM from disconnect()) and fired the full fatal-error path,
producing 'ERROR ... WhatsApp bridge process exited unexpectedly' plus
'Fatal whatsapp adapter error (whatsapp_bridge_exited)' on every
planned shutdown, immediately before the normal '✓ whatsapp
disconnected'. Adds a _shutting_down flag that disconnect() sets
before the terminate, and _check_managed_bridge_exit() returns None
for returncode in {0, -2, -15} while shutting down. OOM-kill (137)
and other non-signal exits still hit the fatal path.
3. restart_drain_timeout default 60s → 180s
On 2026-05-02 01:43:27 a user /restart fired while three agents were
mid-API-call (82s, 112s, 154s into their turns). The 60s drain budget
expired and all three were force-interrupted. 180s covers realistic
in-flight agent turns; users on very-long-reasoning models can still
raise it further via agent.restart_drain_timeout in config.yaml.
Existing explicit user values are preserved by deep-merge.
Tests
- tests/gateway/test_restart_notification.py: two new tests assert INFO
is only logged on SendResult(success=True) and WARNING with the error
string is logged on SendResult(success=False).
- tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_connect.py: parametrized test for
returncode in {0, -2, -15} proves shutdown-time exits are suppressed;
separate test proves returncode 137 (SIGKILL/OOM) still surfaces as
fatal even when _shutting_down is set.
- _check_managed_bridge_exit() reads _shutting_down via getattr-with-
default so existing _make_adapter() test helpers that bypass __init__
(pitfall #17 in AGENTS.md) keep working unmodified.
Discord's per-command name limit is 32 chars. When two skill slugs
share the same first 32 chars (or a skill slug clamps onto a reserved
gateway command name), only the first seen wins — the second is
dropped from the /skill autocomplete. The old behavior incremented a
``hidden`` counter silently, so skill authors had no way to discover
the drop short of noticing their skill was missing from the picker.
Not an actively-biting bug today (no collisions on the default catalog
as of 2026-05), but a landmine the moment someone ships a skill with a
long name. The earlier series in #18745 / #18753 / #18754 dropped the
other silent data-loss paths in the Discord /skill collector; this one
lights up the last remaining one.
Fix: promote ``_names_used`` from a set to a dict keyed by the clamped
name, mapping to the source cmd_key (or a ``"<reserved>"`` sentinel
for names inherited via ``reserved_names``). On collision, log a
WARNING naming both sides — the winner, the loser, the clamped name,
and what to rename.
Two phrasings:
* skill-vs-skill — "both clamp to X on Discord's 32-char command-name
limit; only the winner appears in /skill. Rename one skill's
frontmatter ``name:`` to differ in its first 32 chars."
* skill-vs-reserved — "collides with a reserved gateway command name;
the skill will not appear in /skill. Rename the skill's frontmatter
``name:``."
Tests: three cases in
``tests/hermes_cli/test_discord_skill_clamp_warning.py`` —
skill-vs-skill collision (warning names both cmd_keys + clamped prefix),
skill-vs-reserved collision (warning uses the distinct phrasing), and a
no-collision negative (zero warnings emitted).
Covers PR #18224 fix for issue #18187 — when DiscordAdapter.connect() is
called a second time without an intervening disconnect(), the previous
commands.Bot must be closed before a new one is created. Otherwise both
websockets stay connected to Discord's gateway and both fire on_message,
producing double responses with different wording.
Covers PR #18256 fix for issue #18254 — when OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set in
BOTH os.environ (stale from parent shell) and ~/.hermes/.env (fresh),
_seed_from_env must prefer the .env value. Also guards the fallback case
where .env omits the key entirely (Docker/K8s/systemd deployments that
only inject via runtime env).
`_register_skill_group` captured the skill catalog in closure variables
(`entries` and `skill_lookup`) so the single `tree.add_command` call at
startup owned the only live copy. The closure is never re-entered after
startup, so `/reload-skills` — which rescans the on-disk skills dir and
refreshes the in-process `_skill_commands` registry — had no way to
propagate results into the `/skill` autocomplete on Discord. New skills
stayed invisible in the dropdown, and deleted skills returned
"Unknown skill" when the stale autocomplete entry was clicked.
The fix is purely a dataflow change: promote `entries` and `skill_lookup`
to instance attributes (`_skill_entries`, `_skill_lookup`), split the
collector-driven rebuild into a helper (`_refresh_skill_catalog_state`),
and add a public `refresh_skill_group()` method that re-runs the helper
and is safe to call at any point after the initial registration.
The gateway's `_handle_reload_skills_command` then iterates
`self.adapters` and calls `refresh_skill_group()` on any adapter that
exposes it (currently only Discord). Both sync and async implementations
are supported; adapters that don't override the method (Telegram's
BotCommand menu, Slack subcommand map, etc.) are silently skipped — the
in-process `reload_skills()` call covers them.
No `tree.sync()` is required because Discord fetches autocomplete
options dynamically on every keystroke — mutating the instance state the
callbacks already read from is sufficient. That sidesteps the per-app
command-bucket rate limit (~5 writes / 20 s) that made the previous
bulk-sync-on-reload approach unusable (#16713 context).
Tests: tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_discord_resync.py — five cases
covering (1) refresh replaces entries, (2) entries stay sorted after
refresh, (3) collector exception leaves cached state intact, (4)
`_refresh_skill_catalog_state` populates the instance attrs, (5)
orchestrator calls `refresh_skill_group()` on sync + async adapters and
skips adapters that don't expose it.
_check_unavailable_skill is meant to turn a typed "/foo" command that
doesn't resolve into a specific hint — "disabled, enable with hermes
skills config" or "available but not installed, install with hermes
skills install …" — instead of the generic "unknown command" reply.
It was doing the match with `skill_md.parent.name.lower().replace("_", "-")`,
comparing that to the typed command. For every skill whose directory name
drifted from its declared frontmatter `name:`, that comparison failed and
the user got the unhelpful generic path. On a standard install today 19
skills have this drift, e.g.:
dir: mlops/stable-diffusion
frontmatter: name: Stable Diffusion Image Generation
registered slug (what the user types): /stable-diffusion-image-generation
dir: mlops/qdrant
frontmatter: name: Qdrant Vector Search
registered slug: /qdrant-vector-search
dir: mlops/flash-attention
frontmatter: name: Optimizing Attention Flash
registered slug: /optimizing-attention-flash
In every case, _check_unavailable_skill would fall through because
"stable-diffusion" != "stable-diffusion-image-generation", even with the
skill sitting right there on disk.
Fix: extract a small `_skill_slug_from_frontmatter` helper that reads the
SKILL.md frontmatter and normalizes exactly like scan_skill_commands
(lower, spaces/underscores → hyphens, strip non-[a-z0-9-], collapse
runs of hyphens, strip edges). Use it in both the
disabled-skills branch and the optional-skills branch. The disabled-set
membership check now uses the declared frontmatter name (which is what
`hermes skills config` writes into skills.disabled / platform_disabled),
not the slug.
Tests: five cases in tests/gateway/test_unavailable_skill_hint.py —
the drift case for the disabled branch, unknown-command negative,
matched-but-not-disabled negative, non-alnum stripping, and the drift
case for the optional-skills branch. All five fail against main and
pass with the fix.
``discord_skill_commands_by_category`` was lagging the flat
``discord_skill_commands`` collector on two counts. Both were actively
dropping skills from Discord's ``/skill`` autocomplete dropdown.
1. External-dir skills were filtered out. #18741 widened the flat
collector to accept ``SKILLS_DIR + skills.external_dirs`` but left
this sibling collector — the one ``_register_skill_group`` actually
uses on Discord — still matching ``SKILLS_DIR`` only. External
skills were visible in ``hermes skills list`` and the agent's
``/skill-name`` dispatch but silently absent from Discord's
``/skill`` picker. Widen the accepted roots to match, and derive
categories from whichever root the skill lives under so
``<ext>/mlops/foo/SKILL.md`` still lands in the ``mlops`` group.
2. 25-group × 25-subcommand caps were still applied. PR #11580
refactored ``/skill`` to a flat autocomplete (whose options Discord
fetches dynamically — no per-command payload concern) and its
docstring promises "no hidden skills." The collector kept the old
nested-layout caps anyway, silently dropping anything past the 25th
alphabetical category. On installs with 29 category dirs today (real
example: tail categories ``social-media``, ``software-development``,
``yuanbao`` going missing) this was biting immediately. Remove the
caps; ``hidden`` now reports only 32-char name-clamp collisions
against reserved names.
Tests: guard both behaviors. ``test_no_legacy_25x25_cap`` builds 30
categories × 30 skills each and asserts all 900 are returned.
``test_external_dirs_skills_included`` monkeypatches
``get_external_skills_dirs`` and asserts an external-dir skill makes
it into the result grouped under its own top-level directory.
After a transient Telegram 502, _handle_polling_network_error's
stop()+start_polling() cycle can leave PTB's Updater with `running=True`
but a wedged consumer task that never makes progress. No error_callback
fires in that state, so the reconnect ladder never advances past attempt
1, the MAX_NETWORK_RETRIES fatal-error path is never reached, and the
gateway sits silent indefinitely.
Schedule a heartbeat probe (60s after a successful reconnect) that
verifies Updater.running is still True and bot.get_me() responds within
a tight asyncio.wait_for timeout. Either failure feeds back into the
reconnect ladder so the existing escalation path fires.
No PTB-internal coupling, no Application rebuild — minimal additive
defense inside the existing reconnect abstraction.
Tests cover healthy / Updater non-running / probe timeout / probe
network error / already-fatal cases, plus an integration check that the
probe is actually scheduled after a successful start_polling().
Closes the silent-wedge case observed in the wild after a transient
Telegram 502; existing reconnect tests updated to mock bot.get_me() now
that the success path schedules a heartbeat probe.
Providers like Google Vertex, Azure, and Amazon Bedrock reject API
requests with duplicate tool names (HTTP 400: 'Tool names must be
unique'). The upstream injection paths in run_agent.py already dedup
after PR #17335, but two API-boundary functions pass tools through
without checking:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _build_call_kwargs() (all non-Anthropic
providers in chat_completions mode)
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: convert_tools_to_anthropic() (Anthropic
Messages API path)
Add defensive dedup guards at both sites. Duplicates are dropped with
a warning log, converting a hard 400 failure into a recoverable
condition. This is intentionally conservative — the root-cause dedup
in run_agent.py is the primary defense; these guards add resilience
against future injection-path regressions.
Includes 8 new tests covering unique passthrough, duplicate removal,
empty/None edge cases.
Closes#18478
When HERMES_HOME is unset but ~/.hermes/active_profile names a non-default
profile, any data this process writes lands in the default profile — not the
one the operator expects. Before this change the fallback was silent, so
cross-profile contamination (#18594) was invisible until a user noticed
their memory/state ended up in the wrong place.
Now we emit a one-shot warning to stderr the first time this happens in
a process. No raise — there are 30+ module-level callers of get_hermes_home()
and raising from any of them would brick import. Behavior is otherwise
unchanged; subprocess spawners (systemd template, kanban dispatcher, docker
entrypoint) already propagate HERMES_HOME correctly.
Bypasses logging.getLogger() because this runs before logging is configured
in a significant fraction of callers (module import time).
Refs #18594. Credit to @liuhao1024 for surfacing the silent-fallback case
in PR #18600; we kept the diagnostic signal without the import-time raise.
Path.read_text() uses the system locale by default. On Windows CN/JP/KR
locales (GBK/CP932/CP949), reading a UTF-8 .env raises UnicodeDecodeError
as soon as it contains any non-ASCII byte (e.g. an em dash).
Pin encoding="utf-8" on every .env read in hermes_cli to match how the
rest of the codebase (load_dotenv at doctor.py:26) already decodes it.
Adds a regression test that monkeypatches Path.read_text to simulate a
GBK locale and asserts 'hermes doctor' no longer raises.
Refs #18637
Skills configured through `skills.external_dirs` in config.yaml were
visible via `hermes skills list`, `get_skill_commands()`, and the
agent's `/skill-name` dispatch, but silently excluded from the
Telegram and Discord slash-command menus. The filter in
`_collect_gateway_skill_entries` only accepted skills whose
`skill_md_path` started with `SKILLS_DIR`, so anything under an
external directory fell through.
Widen the accepted-prefix set to include all configured external
dirs alongside the local skills dir. Every prefix is now
slash-terminated so `/my-skills` cannot also admit
`/my-skills-extra`. Also guard against empty `skill_md_path`
values so they can't accidentally match.

The process-global `_skill_commands` dict in agent/skill_commands.py
was seeded by whichever platform scanned first, and
`get_skill_commands()` only rescanned when the cache was empty. In a
long-lived gateway process serving multiple platforms (Telegram +
Discord + Slack), the first platform's
`skills.platform_disabled` view was silently inherited by the
others — so a skill disabled for Telegram would also disappear from
Discord's slash menu, and vice versa.
Track the platform scope the cache was populated for
(`_skill_commands_platform`) and rescan in `get_skill_commands()`
when the currently-active platform no longer matches. Platform
resolution uses the same precedence as `_is_skill_disabled`:
`HERMES_PLATFORM` env var then `HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM` from the
gateway session context.

* fix(curator): authoritative absorbed_into declarations on skill delete
Closes#18671. The classification pipeline that feeds cron-ref rewriting
used to infer consolidation vs pruning from two brittle signals: the
curator model's post-hoc YAML summary block, and a substring heuristic
scanning other tool calls for the removed skill's name. Both miss in
real consolidations — the model forgets the YAML under reasoning
pressure, and the heuristic misses when the umbrella's patch content
describes the absorbed behavior abstractly instead of naming the old
slug. When both miss, the skill falls through to 'no-evidence fallback'
pruned, and #18253's cron rewriter drops the cron ref entirely instead
of mapping it to the umbrella. Same observable symptom as pre-#18253:
'Skill(s) not found and skipped' at the next cron run.
The fix makes the model declare intent at the moment of deletion.
skill_manage(action='delete') now accepts absorbed_into:
- absorbed_into='<umbrella>' -> consolidated, target must exist on disk
- absorbed_into='' -> explicit prune, no forwarding target
- missing -> legacy path, falls through to heuristic/YAML
The curator reconciler reads these declarations off llm_meta.tool_calls
BEFORE either the YAML block or the substring heuristic. Declaration
wins. Fallback logic stays intact for backward compat with any caller
(human or older curator conversation) that doesn't populate the arg.
Changes
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: add absorbed_into param to skill_manage
+ _delete_skill. Validate target exists when non-empty. Reject
absorbed_into=<self>. Wire through dispatcher + registry + schema.
- agent/curator.py: new _extract_absorbed_into_declarations() walks
tool calls for skill_manage(delete) with the arg. _reconcile_classification
accepts absorbed_declarations= and treats them as authoritative. Curator
prompt updated to require the arg on every delete.
- Tests: 7 new skill_manager tests covering the tool contract (valid
target, empty string, nonexistent target, self-reference, whitespace,
backward compat, dispatcher plumbing). 11 new curator tests covering
the extractor + authoritative reconciler path + mixed-legacy-and-
declared runs.
Validation
- 307/307 targeted tests pass (curator + cron + skill_manager suites).
- E2E #18671 repro: 3 narrow skills, 1 umbrella, cron job referencing
all 3. Model emits NO YAML block. Heuristic misses (patch prose
doesn't name old slugs). Delete calls carry absorbed_into. Result:
both PR skills correctly classified 'consolidated' + cron rewritten
['pr-review-format', 'pr-review-checklist', 'stale-junk'] ->
['hermes-agent-dev']; stale-junk pruned via absorbed_into=''.
- E2E backward-compat: delete without absorbed_into, model emits YAML
-> routed via existing 'model' source, cron still rewritten correctly.
* feat(curator): capture + restore cron skill links across snapshot/rollback
Before this, rolling back a curator run restored the skills tree but cron
jobs still pointed at the umbrella skills the curator had rewritten them
to. The user would see their old narrow skills back on disk but their
cron jobs still configured with the merged umbrella — not actually 'back
to how it was'.
Snapshot side: snapshot_skills() now captures ~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json
alongside the skills tarball, as cron-jobs.json. The manifest gets a new
'cron_jobs' block with {backed_up, jobs_count} so rollback (and the CLI
confirm dialog) can surface what's in the snapshot. If jobs.json is
missing/unreadable/malformed, snapshot proceeds without cron data — the
skills backup is the core guarantee; cron is additive.
Rollback side: after the skills extract succeeds, the new
_restore_cron_skill_links() reconciles the backed-up jobs into the live
jobs.json SURGICALLY. Only 'skills' and 'skill' fields are restored, and
only on jobs matched by id. Everything else about a cron job — schedule,
last_run_at, next_run_at, enabled, prompt, workdir, hooks — is live
state the user or scheduler has modified since the snapshot; overwriting
it would regress unrelated activity.
Reconciliation rules:
- Job in backup AND live, skills differ → skills restored.
- Job in backup AND live, skills match → no-op.
- Job in backup, NOT in live → skipped (user deleted it
after snapshot; their choice
is later than the snapshot).
- Job in live, NOT in backup → untouched (user created it
after snapshot).
- Snapshot missing cron-jobs.json at all → rollback still succeeds,
reports 'not captured'
(older pre-feature snapshots
keep working).
Writes go through cron.jobs.save_jobs under the same _jobs_file_lock the
scheduler uses, so rollback doesn't race tick().
Also:
- hermes_cli/curator.py: rollback confirm dialog now shows
'cron jobs: N (will be restored for skill-link fields only)' when the
snapshot has cron data, or 'not in snapshot (<reason>)' otherwise.
- rollback()'s message string includes a 'cron links: ...' clause
summarizing the reconciliation outcome.
Tests
- 9 new cases: snapshot-with-cron, snapshot-without-cron, malformed-json
captured-as-raw, full rollback-restores-skills-and-cron, rollback
touches only skill fields, rollback skips user-deleted jobs, rollback
leaves user-created jobs untouched, rollback still works with
pre-feature snapshot that has no cron-jobs.json, standalone unit test
on _restore_cron_skill_links exercising the full report shape.
Validation
- 484/484 targeted tests pass (curator + cron + skill_manager suites).
- E2E: real snapshot_skills, real cron rewrite, real rollback. Before:
['pr-review-format', 'pr-review-checklist', 'pr-triage-salvage'].
After curator: ['hermes-agent-dev']. After rollback: ['pr-review-format',
'pr-review-checklist', 'pr-triage-salvage']. Non-skill fields (id,
name, prompt) preserved across the round trip.
FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#11768
Root cause: target.strip().lower() was lowercasing the entire target string,
corrupting case-sensitive chat IDs like Slack C123ABC and Matrix !RoomABC.
Fix: Only lowercase the platform prefix for case-insensitive matching;
preserve the original case for chat_id and thread_id values.
YAML loads a bare numeric value such as
discord:
free_response_channels: 1491973769726791812
as an int. _discord_free_response_channels() / _slack_free_response_channels()
checked `isinstance(raw, list)` and `isinstance(raw, str)` in that order and
then fell through to `return set()`, so a single-channel config that happened
to be unquoted was silently dropped with no log line — the bot kept demanding
@mentions even though the channel was configured to free-response.
A multi-channel value like `1234567890,9876543210` does not trip this because
the comma forces YAML to parse it as a string. Single-channel configs are
the only case that breaks, which is exactly the footgun that's hardest to
diagnose (the config "looks right" and the feature just doesn't activate).
Note that the old-schema env-var bridge at gateway/config.py:614+ already
runs `str(frc)` when forwarding to SLACK_/DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
so the env-var fallback worked. The bug only surfaces on the
`config.extra["free_response_channels"]` path populated by the `platforms:`
bridge at gateway/config.py:576, which passes the raw YAML value through
unchanged.
Fix at the reader: treat any non-list value as a scalar, coerce with str(),
then apply the same CSV split semantics. This keeps the public contract
stable (list or str-like continues to work identically) while accepting
the ints that the YAML loader is free to hand us.
Added tests for both Discord and Slack covering:
- bare int value in config.extra
- list of ints in config.extra
Slack has built-in slash commands (e.g. /status, /me, /join) that apps
cannot register. When running `hermes slack manifest --write`, the
generated manifest included /status, causing Slack to reject the entire
manifest with a reserved-command error.
Add _SLACK_RESERVED_COMMANDS frozenset of all known Slack built-ins and
skip them in slack_native_slashes(). Affected commands remain reachable
via /hermes <command>.
Tests updated:
- New test_excludes_slack_reserved_commands validates no leaks
- test_includes_canonical_commands no longer asserts /status
- test_telegram_parity accounts for expected Slack-only exclusions
Self-review fixes for the slash ephemeral ack:
- Only stash response_url when text starts with '/' (gateway command).
Free-form questions via '/hermes <question>' must produce public agent
replies visible to the whole channel, not ephemeral.
- Use a ContextVar (_slash_user_id) to thread the invoking user's ID
from _handle_slash_command through to send(). _pop_slash_context now
matches the exact (channel_id, user_id) key when the ContextVar is
set, preventing concurrent users on the same channel from stealing
each other's ephemeral context. ContextVars propagate to child
asyncio.Tasks, so the value survives through handle_message →
_process_message_background → _send_with_retry → send().
- Add truncate_message() in _send_slash_ephemeral to prevent silent
failures on long responses (response_url has the same ~40k limit).
- Log send_private_notice failures at debug level instead of bare
except/pass — aids diagnostics without spamming.
- Document app_mention dedup dependency on shared event ts.
- Add tests: free-form question must NOT stash context, concurrent
users on the same channel get isolated contexts, non-slash send()
path fallback behavior.
Adds platform-level private notice delivery abstraction so operational
messages (e.g. sethome prompt) can be sent ephemerally on Slack when
configured with `slack.notice_delivery: private`.
Changes:
- gateway/config.py: _normalize_notice_delivery() + GatewayConfig.get_notice_delivery()
with per-platform config bridging
- gateway/platforms/base.py: send_private_notice() default implementation
(falls through to send())
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: send_private_notice() via chat_postEphemeral
- gateway/run.py: _deliver_platform_notice() helper replaces direct
adapter.send() for the sethome notice, with private→public fallback
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: app_mention handler now forwards to
_handle_slack_message (safe due to ts-based dedup) instead of no-op pass,
fixing edge-case Slack configs where mentions arrive only as app_mention
- gateway/platforms/slack.py format_message: negative lookbehind prevents
markdown images (![]()) from becoming broken Slack links; italic regex
now requires non-whitespace boundaries so 'a * b * c' stays literal
Based on PR #9340 by @probepark.
Slack slash commands (/q, /btw, /stop, /model, etc.) previously showed
no user-visible acknowledgement and posted command replies as public
channel messages. This diverged from Discord, which uses ephemeral
deferred responses for slash commands.
Changes:
- handle_hermes_command now passes response_type='ephemeral' and a
'Running /cmd…' text to ack(), giving the user immediate 'Only visible
to you' feedback when they invoke any native slash command.
- _handle_slash_command stashes the Slack response_url from the command
payload in a per-channel context dict before dispatching to
handle_message.
- send() checks for a pending slash context and, when found, POSTs to
the response_url with replace_original=true to swap the initial ack
with the real command reply (e.g. 'Queued for the next turn.'),
keeping it ephemeral.
- Stale slash contexts are garbage-collected on lookup (120s TTL).
- The response_url POST is non-fatal: if it fails, the user already saw
the initial ack, and send() returns success=True.
Fixes#18182
Long-running gateway processes that survive 'hermes update' keep
pre-update modules cached in sys.modules. When new tool files on
disk then try to 'from hermes_cli.config import cfg_get' (added in
PR #17304), the import resolves against the stale module object
and raises ImportError — hitting users on Matrix, Telegram, Feishu,
and other platforms.
Two defenses:
1. Gateway self-check (gateway/run.py). On __init__, snapshot the
newest mtime across sentinel source files (hermes_cli/config.py,
run_agent.py, gateway/run.py, etc.). On every inbound message,
re-read those mtimes; if any is newer than boot time + 2s slack,
request a graceful restart via the normal drain path and return
a one-line ack to the user. Idempotent, works regardless of how
the update happened (hermes update, manual git pull, installer).
2. Post-restart survivor sweep ('hermes update'). After the existing
restart loop, sleep 3s, rescan for gateway PIDs we already tried
to kill, and SIGKILL any survivors. The detached profile watchers
and systemd then relaunch with fresh code instead of waiting out
the 120s watcher timeout.
Closes#17648.
* fix(curator): defer first run and add --dry-run preview (#18373)
Curator was meant to run 7 days after install, not on the very first
gateway tick. On a fresh install (no .curator_state), should_run_now()
returned True immediately because last_run_at was None — so the gateway
cron ticker fired Curator against a fresh skill library moments after
'hermes update'. Combined with the binary 'agent-created' provenance
model (anything not bundled and not hub-installed), this consolidated
hand-authored user workflow skills without consent.
Changes:
- should_run_now(): first observation seeds last_run_at='now' and returns
False. The next real pass fires one full interval_hours later (7 days
by default), matching the original design intent.
- hermes curator run --dry-run: produces the same review report without
applying automatic transitions OR permitting the LLM to call
skill_manage / terminal mv. A DRY-RUN banner is prepended to the
prompt and the caller skips apply_automatic_transitions. State is
NOT advanced so a preview doesn't defer the next scheduled real pass.
- hermes update: prints a one-liner on fresh installs pointing at
--dry-run, pause, and the docs. Silent on steady state.
- Docs: curator.md and cli-commands.md explain the deferred first-run
behavior and warn that hand-written SKILL.md files share the
'agent-created' bucket, with guidance to pin or preview before the
first pass.
Tests:
- test_first_run_defers replaces the old 'first run always eligible'
assertion — same fixture, inverted expectation.
- test_maybe_run_curator_defers_on_fresh_install covers the gateway tick
path end-to-end.
- Three new dry-run tests cover state-advance suppression, prompt
banner injection, and apply_automatic_transitions skipping.
Fixes#18373.
* feat(curator): pre-run backup + rollback (#18373)
Every real curator pass now snapshots ~/.hermes/skills/ into
~/.hermes/skills/.curator_backups/<utc-iso>/skills.tar.gz before calling
apply_automatic_transitions or the LLM review. If a run consolidates or
archives something the user didn't want touched, 'hermes curator
rollback' restores the tree in one command. Dry-run is skipped — no
mutation means no snapshot needed.
Changes:
- agent/curator_backup.py (new): tar.gz snapshot + safe rollback. The
snapshot excludes .curator_backups/ (would recurse) and .hub/ (managed
by the skills hub). Extract refuses absolute paths and .. components,
and uses tarfile's filter='data' on Python 3.12+. Rollback takes a
pre-rollback safety snapshot FIRST, stages the current tree into
.rollback-staging-<ts>/ so the extract lands in an empty dir, and
cleans the staging dir on success. A failed extract restores the
staged contents.
- agent/curator.py: run_curator_review() calls curator_backup.
snapshot_skills(reason='pre-curator-run') before apply_automatic_
transitions. Best-effort — a failed snapshot logs at debug and the
run continues (a transient disk issue shouldn't silently disable
curator forever).
- hermes_cli/curator.py: new 'hermes curator backup' and 'hermes curator
rollback' subcommands. rollback supports --list, --id <ts>, -y.
- hermes_cli/config.py: curator.backup.{enabled, keep} config block
with sane defaults (enabled=true, keep=5).
- Docs: curator.md gets a 'Backups and rollback' section; cli-commands
.md table gets the new rows.
Tests (new file tests/agent/test_curator_backup.py, 16 cases):
- snapshot creates tarball + manifest with correct counts
- snapshot excludes .curator_backups/ (recursion guard) and .hub/
- snapshot disabled via config returns None without creating anything
- snapshot uniquifies ids within the same second (-01 suffix)
- prune honors keep count, newest-first
- list_backups + _resolve_backup cover newest-default and unknown-id
- rollback restores a deleted skill with content intact
- rollback is itself undoable — safety snapshot shows up in list_backups
- rollback with no snapshots returns an error
- rollback refuses tarballs with absolute paths or .. components
- real curator runs take a 'pre-curator-run' snapshot; dry-runs do not
All curator tests: 210 passing locally.
Prevents ghost sessions from accumulating in state.db when the TUI/web
dashboard is opened and closed without sending a message.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: Add _ensure_db_session() gate method, called at
run_conversation() entry. Remove eager create_session() from __init__.
Handle compression rotation flag correctly.
- tui_gateway/server.py: Remove eager db.create_session() in
_start_agent_build(). Add post-first-message pending_title re-apply.
- hermes_state.py: Extract _insert_session_row() shared helper (DRY).
Add prune_empty_ghost_sessions() for one-time migration.
- cli.py: One-time ghost session prune on startup. Fix _pending_title
to call _ensure_db_session() before set_session_title().
- hermes_cli/main.py: Guard TUI exit summary on message_count > 0.
- tests: Update test_860_dedup to call _ensure_db_session() before
direct _flush_messages_to_session_db() calls.
Closes: ghost session clutter in hermes sessions list and web dashboard.
The anyOf collapse in _repair_schema returned early, skipping the
nullable-strip and enum-cleanup steps. When a schema had anyOf
[{enum: [..., null, '']}, {type: null}] alongside a parent-level
'nullable: true', collapsing to the single non-null branch produced a
merged node that still had both 'nullable' and the bad enum values —
Moonshot would still 400 on it.
Fix: fall through to Rules 1/3 when the collapse produces a single
merged node; only return early for the multi-branch case (pure
anyOf preservation) or when there was no null branch to remove.
Adds a test that locks in the combined-case expectation.
When a schema node inside anyOf has enum values but no explicit 'type',
Rule 3 (enum cleanup) ran before _fill_missing_type, so node_type was
None and the enum was never cleaned. Moonshot then rejected the schema
with 'enum value (<nil>) does not match any type in [string]'.
Fix: reorder operations — fill missing type first, strip nullable,
then clean enum. This ensures enum cleanup always has a type to check.
Also fixes test expectation: empty string in enum is now correctly
stripped (Moonshot rejects it too).
Closes#16875
Add a standing-goal slash command that keeps Hermes working toward a
user-stated objective across turns until it is achieved, paused, or
the turn budget runs out. Our take on the Ralph loop — cf. Codex CLI
0.128.0's /goal.
After each turn, a lightweight auxiliary-model judge call asks 'is
this goal satisfied by the assistant's last response?'. If not, and
we're under the turn budget (default 20), Hermes feeds a continuation
prompt back into the same session as a normal user message. Any real
user message preempts the continuation loop automatically.
Judge failures fail OPEN (continue) so a flaky judge never wedges
progress — the turn budget is the real backstop.
### Commands
- `/goal <text>` — set a standing goal (kicks off the first turn)
- `/goal` or `/goal status` — show current state
- `/goal pause` — pause the continuation loop
- `/goal resume` — resume (resets turn counter)
- `/goal clear` — drop the goal
Works on both CLI and gateway platforms via the central CommandDef
registry.
### Design invariants preserved
- **Prompt cache**: continuation prompts are regular user-role
messages appended to history. No system-prompt mutation, no toolset
swap.
- **Role alternation**: continuation is a user turn, never injected
mid-tool-loop.
- **Session persistence**: goal state lives in SessionDB.state_meta
keyed by `goal:<session_id>`, so `/resume` picks it up.
- **Mid-run safety**: on the gateway, `/goal status|pause|clear` are
allowed mid-run (control-plane only); setting a new goal requires
`/stop` first so we don't race a second continuation prompt against
the current turn.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Signal-cli sends dataMessage wrappers for profile key updates and other
metadata events that have no actual text content. These were reaching the
gateway as msg='' and triggering full agent turns for nothing.
Add early return in _handle_envelope() when both message field is empty/
missing/whitespace AND there are no attachments. Messages with media
attachments but no text still flow through.

the esbuild pipeline (scripts/build.mjs) already bundles ink into a
single self-contained dist/entry.js.
remove the Dockerfile steps that manually copied packages/hermes-ink
into node_modules/@hermes/ink and ran a nested
npm install there.
- Dockerfile: simplify TUI build step to just 'npm run build'
- hermes_cli/main.py: _tui_build_needed now checks dist/entry.js
staleness against source files before falling back to the old
ink-bundle.js logic
- tests: update TUI npm install tests and drop the Dockerfile contract
test for the removed ink materialization step
The Ink TUI (\`hermes --tui\` + dashboard \`/chat\`) had no wiring for the
background self-improvement review. When the review fired and patched
a skill or saved a memory entry, the change landed but the user had
no visual indication it happened — only the CLI had a print surface
for the '💾 Self-improvement review: …' line.
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: in _init_session, attach
agent.background_review_callback to an _emit('review.summary',
sid, {text}) closure. Wrapped in try/except so agents with locked
attribute slots don't break session startup.
- ui-tui/src/app/createGatewayEventHandler.ts: handle 'review.summary'
by routing ev.payload.text through sys(…), matching the existing
'background.complete' pattern. Empty / whitespace payloads are
ignored so the transcript never gets a blank system line.
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts: extend the GatewayEvent discriminated
union with { type: 'review.summary', payload?: { text?: string } }.
Gateway platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, …) already route the
review summary via background_review_callback → post-delivery queue
in gateway/run.py, so they pick up the new 'Self-improvement review:'
prefix from the companion run_agent change with no platform edits.
Tests:
- tests/tui_gateway/test_review_summary_callback.py (Python, 2 tests):
_init_session attaches a callback that emits the right event; the
callback path survives agents that can't accept the attribute.
- ui-tui/src/__tests__/createGatewayEventHandler.test.ts (vitest, 2
new cases): review.summary events feed sys(...) with the full text;
empty / missing payloads are no-ops.
- TypeScript type-check passes.
- tui_gateway suite: 64/64 pass.
When the self-improvement background review fires after a turn, it runs
in a bg thread and emits a ' 💾 <summary>' line to announce what it
saved to memory or skills. Two problems made this invisible to users
even when the review successfully modified a skill:
1. The print went through `_cprint` (prompt_toolkit's print_formatted_text)
on a bg thread while the CLI's PromptSession was live. Direct
print_formatted_text races with the input-area redraw and the line
can land behind/above the prompt, scrolled off without the user
seeing it.
2. The message said only '💾 Skill created.' / '💾 Memory updated'
with no indication that the self-improvement loop was the one doing
this. Users who did catch the line couldn't tell the background
review from some other agent action.
Fixes:
- `_cprint` now detects when it's called from a non-app thread with a
running prompt_toolkit Application, and routes through
`run_in_terminal` via `loop.call_soon_threadsafe`. That pauses the
input, prints the line above the prompt, and redraws — the normal
prompt_toolkit contract for bg-thread output. Direct-print fallback
preserved for the no-app / same-thread / import-error paths. Affects
every bg-thread emission, not just the review summary (curator
summaries and auxiliary failure prints benefit too).
- The summary now reads ' 💾 Self-improvement review: <summary>' in
both the CLI and the gateway `background_review_callback` path, so
the origin is unambiguous.
Tests:
- New `tests/cli/test_cprint_bg_thread.py` covers all five routing
branches (no app, app-not-running, cross-thread schedule, same-thread
direct, app-loop-attribute-error, import-error).
- New case in `tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py` asserts the
attributed prefix shows up in both `_safe_print` and
`background_review_callback`.
Live E2E: exercised _cprint from a bg thread inside a real Application
event loop; confirmed get_app_or_none() sees the app, call_soon_threadsafe
schedules run_in_terminal, and the inner _pt_print runs.
Replace the tsc + babel pipeline with a single esbuild invocation that
produces a self-contained dist/entry.js. The nix TUI derivation no
longer copies node_modules — only dist/ + package.json ship, shrinking
the output from hundreds of MB to ~2.9 MB.
- ui-tui/scripts/build.mjs: new esbuild bundler. Aliases @hermes/ink
to source (esbuild's __esm helper doesn't await nested async init,
which breaks lazy-assigned exports like 'render' when re-exporting
through a prebuilt submodule). Stubs react-devtools-core (dev-only).
Injects a createRequire shim for transitive CJS deps. Strips the
shebang from src/entry.tsx because Nix patchShebangs mangles
'/usr/bin/env -S node --max-old-space-size=8192 --expose-gc' — it
drops the 'node' token. The Python launcher always invokes node
explicitly, so the shebang is redundant.
- nix/tui.nix: installPhase no longer copies node_modules or the
@hermes/ink packages dir.
- nix/checks.nix: drop the 'node_modules present' assertion.
- hermes_cli/main.py: _tui_need_npm_install short-circuits when
dist/entry.js exists and no package-lock.json is present. That is
the prebuilt-bundle layout (nix / packaged release) and there is
nothing to install. Without this, the launcher tried to npm install
in a non-existent site-packages/ui-tui path.
Builds on #16855 (@lsdsjy) which fixed DeepSeek v4 reasoning_content
replay via model_extra fallback + capturing tool_calls at method entry.
Kimi / Moonshot thinking mode enforces the same echo-back contract and
hits the same 400 when a tool-call turn is persisted without
reasoning_content.
- _build_assistant_message: pad branch now uses _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad()
(DeepSeek OR Kimi) instead of _needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning() alone.
- Extract _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad() and reuse it in
_copy_reasoning_content_for_api so both sites share one predicate.
- tests/run_agent/test_deepseek_reasoning_content_echo.py: add
TestBuildAssistantMessagePadsStrictProviders parametrized over DeepSeek
(attr=None, attr-absent), Kimi (attr=None), Moonshot (via base_url),
and an OpenRouter negative control that must NOT pad. Proven to fail
2/5 cases on Kimi/Moonshot without this change.
- scripts/release.py: add AUTHOR_MAP entries for lsdsjy and season179.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Extracted from PR #17211 (@versun) so it can land independently of the

- Add should_send_media_as_audio(platform, ext, is_voice) in
gateway/platforms/base.py; single source of truth for audio routing.
- Add .flac to recognized audio extensions (MEDIA regex, weixin audio
set, send_message audio set).
- Telegram send_voice() now falls back to send_document for formats
Telegram's Bot API can't play natively (.wav, .flac, ...) instead of
raising; MP3/M4A still go to sendAudio, Opus/OGG still go to sendVoice.
- Route _send_telegram() in send_message_tool through a narrower
_TELEGRAM_SEND_AUDIO_EXTS = {.mp3, .m4a} set.
- cron.scheduler._send_media_via_adapter now delegates the audio
decision to should_send_media_as_audio so it matches the gateway.
- Update the cron live-adapter ogg test to flag [[audio_as_voice]] so
it still routes to sendVoice under the new Telegram-specific policy.
- Tests: unit coverage for should_send_media_as_audio across platforms,
end-to-end MEDIA routing via _process_message_background and
GatewayRunner._deliver_media_from_response, TelegramAdapter.send_voice
fallback for FLAC/WAV.

Fixes the xdist collision that broke CI on PR #17764, and structurally
prevents future plugin-adapter tests from reintroducing it.
Problem
-------
tests/gateway/test_teams.py (new in this PR) and tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py
(already on main) both followed the same anti-pattern:
sys.path.insert(0, str(_REPO_ROOT / 'plugins' / 'platforms' / '<name>'))
from adapter import <Adapter>
Every platform plugin ships its own adapter.py, so the bare
'from adapter import ...' races for sys.modules['adapter']. Whichever test
collected first in a given xdist worker won; the other crashed at
collection with ImportError, and the polluted sys.path cascaded into 19
unrelated test failures across tools/, hermes_cli/, and run_agent/ in the
same worker.
Fix
---
1. tests/gateway/_plugin_adapter_loader.py (new): shared helper
load_plugin_adapter('<name>') that imports plugins/platforms/<name>/adapter.py
via importlib.util under the unique module name plugin_adapter_<name>.
Zero sys.path mutation, no possibility of collision.
2. tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py and tests/gateway/test_teams.py:
migrated to the helper. All 'from adapter import ...' statements
(including the ones inside test methods) are replaced with module-level
attribute access on the loaded module.
3. tests/gateway/conftest.py: new pytest_configure guard that AST-scans
every test_*.py under tests/gateway/ at session start and fails the
run with a pointer to the helper if any test uses sys.path.insert into
plugins/platforms/ OR a bare 'import adapter' / 'from adapter import'.
Runs on the xdist controller only (skipped in workers). The next plugin
adapter test that tries to reintroduce this pattern gets rejected at
collection time with a clear remediation message.
4. scripts/release.py: add aamirjawaid@microsoft.com -> heyitsaamir to
AUTHOR_MAP so the check-attribution workflow passes.

Hello! I am the maintainer of the microsoft-teams-apps Python SDK and
I built this Teams adapter to integrate Microsoft Teams into Hermes.
Adds a `plugins/platforms/teams` platform plugin using the new
PlatformRegistry system from #17751. The adapter self-registers via
`register(ctx)` — no hardcoding in run.py, toolsets.py, or any
other core file.
Key features:
- Supports personal DMs, group chats, and channel posts
- Adaptive Card approval prompts with in-place button replacement
(Allow Once / Allow Session / Always Allow / Deny)
- aiohttp webhook server bridged from the Teams SDK to avoid
the fastapi/uvicorn dependency
- ConversationReference caching for correct proactive sends in
non-DM chats
- `interactive_setup()` for `hermes gateway setup` integration
- `platform_hint` for LLM context (Teams markdown subset)
- 34 tests covering adapter init, send, message handling, and
plugin registration

PR #17660 landed a sweep of CI fixes but left three loose ends:
1. tests/cli/test_cli_loading_indicator.py::test_reload_mcp_sets_busy_state_
and_prints_status — /reload-mcp gained a prompt-cache-invalidation
confirmation (commit 4d7fc0f37) that was never wired into this test.
The test exercises the loading-indicator path, so pre-approve via
config and go straight into _reload_mcp().
2. tools/mcp_tool.py _make_tool_handler — the added
getattr(server, '_rpc_lock', None) + 'skip the lock if missing'
branch is inconsistent with four sibling call sites that still
direct-access server._rpc_lock. The lock is guaranteed by
MCPServerTask.__init__; falling through to an unlocked
session.call_tool would silently serialize-strip RPCs if the guard
ever triggered. Restore direct access.
3. tui_gateway/server.py _messages_as_conversation — the helper
existed only to catch 'TypeError: include_ancestors unexpected'
from mocked SessionDBs that don't actually exist. The real
SessionDB.get_messages_as_conversation has accepted
include_ancestors since introduction, and every test FakeDB in
the repo already declares the kwarg. Remove the shim, inline the
two call sites.
* feat(plugins): bundle hermes-achievements, scan full session history
Ships @PCinkusz's hermes-achievements dashboard plugin (https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements) as a bundled plugin at plugins/hermes-achievements/ and fixes a bug in the scan path that made the plugin only see the first 200 sessions — making lifetime badges (50k tool calls, 75k errors, etc.) unreachable on long-running installs.
Changes:
- plugins/hermes-achievements/: vendor v0.3.1 verbatim (manifest, dist/, plugin_api.py, tests, docs, README).
- plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py:
* scan_sessions(): limit=None now scans ALL sessions via SQLite LIMIT -1. Previously capped at 200, so users with 8000+ sessions saw ~2% of their history.
* evaluate_all(): first-ever scans run in a background thread so the dashboard request path never blocks. Stale snapshots serve immediately while a background refresh runs. force=True still blocks synchronously for manual /rescan.
* _build_pending_snapshot(), _start_background_scan(), _run_scan_and_update_cache(): supporting plumbing + idempotent thread spawn.
- tests/plugins/test_achievements_plugin.py: new tests covering the 200-cap regression, the background-scan first-run flow, stale-serve-plus-background-refresh, forced sync rescan, and scan-thread idempotency.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md: lists hermes-achievements in the bundled-plugins table and documents API endpoints, state files, and performance characteristics.
E2E validated against a real 8564-session ~6.4GB state.db:
* Cold scan: 13m 19s (one-time, backgrounded — UI never blocks)
* Warm rescan: 1.47s (8563/8564 sessions reused from checkpoint cache)
* 57/60 achievements unlocked, 3 discovered — aggregates like total_tool_calls=259958, total_errors=164213, skill_events=368243 correctly surface lifetime badges that the 200-cap made unreachable.
Original credit: @PCinkusz (MIT-licensed). Upstream repo remains the staging ground for new badges; this bundle keeps the dashboard feature parity with Hermes core changes.
* feat(achievements): publish partial snapshots during cold scan
Previously a cold scan on a large session DB (13min on 8564 sessions)
showed zero badges for the entire duration, then every badge at once
when the scan completed. A dashboard refresh mid-scan was indistinguishable
from a fresh install with no history.
Now the scanner publishes a partial snapshot to _SNAPSHOT_CACHE every
250 sessions, so each refresh during a cold scan surfaces more badges
incrementally.
Mechanism:
- scan_sessions() takes an optional progress_callback fired every
progress_every sessions with (sessions_so_far, scanned, total).
- _compute_from_scan() is extracted from compute_all() and gains an
is_partial flag that skips writing to state.json — we don't want
to record unlocked_at based on a half-complete aggregate that a
later session might rebalance.
- _run_scan_and_update_cache() installs a publisher callback that
builds a partial snapshot, marks it mode='in_progress', and writes
it to the cache with age=0 so the UI keeps polling /scan-status
and picks up the final snapshot when the scan completes.
- Manual /rescan (force=True) disables partial publishing — the
caller is blocking on the final result anyway.
E2E against real 8564-session state.db (polled cache every 10s):
t=10s: cache empty
t=20s: 250/8564 scanned, 35 unlocked, 25 discovered
t=40s: 500/8564 scanned, 42 unlocked, 18 discovered
t=60s: 1000/8564 scanned, 49 unlocked, 11 discovered
...
Tests: 9/9 pass (2 new — partial snapshot publication + no-persist-on-partial).
Upstream unittest suite: 10/10 pass.
* feat(achievements): in-progress scan banner with live % progress
Previously the dashboard showed zero badges silently during long cold
scans (13min on 8564 sessions). The backend was publishing partial
snapshots every 250 sessions, but the bundled UI didn't surface any
indicator that a scan was running — it just rendered the main page
with whatever counts were currently published and no way for the user
to know more progress was coming.
UI changes (dist/index.js, dist/style.css):
- Added a scan-in-progress banner rendered between the hero and stats
when scan_meta.mode is 'pending' or 'in_progress'. Shows:
BUILDING ACHIEVEMENT PROFILE…
Scanned 1,750 of 8,564 sessions · 20%. Badges unlock as more history streams in.
with a pulsing teal indicator and a filling teal/cyan progress bar.
Disappears the moment the backend flips to 'full' or 'incremental'.
- Added an auto-poller via useEffect — while scanInFlight is true the
page re-fetches /achievements every 4s WITHOUT toggling the loading
skeleton, so unlock counts tick up visibly without the user refreshing.
The effect cleans itself up when the scan finishes.
- Added refresh() (re-fetch, no loading flip) alongside the existing
load() (full reload, used by the Rescan button).
Attribution preserved:
- Added a header comment to index.js crediting @PCinkusz
(https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements, MIT) as the
original author, noting the banner is a layered addition on top
of the original dist bundle.
- Matching header comment in style.css, flagging the new
.ha-scan-banner* rules as the local addition.
Live-verified end to end:
- Spun up `hermes dashboard --port 9229 --no-open` against a fresh
HERMES_HOME symlinked to the real 8564-session state.db.
- Opened /achievements in a browser, confirmed the banner renders with
live progress: 'Scanned 1,000 of 8,564 sessions · 11%' → updates to
'1,250 ... · 14%' → '1,750 ... · 20%' without user interaction,
matching the backend's partial publications.
- Stats row simultaneously climbed from 35 → 49 → 53 unlocked as
more history streamed in.
- Vision analysis of the rendered page confirms the banner styling
matches the rest of the dashboard (dark card bg, teal accent, same
small-caps typography, pulsing indicator reusing ha-pulse keyframes).
The _CODEX_AUX_MODEL constant had already rotated twice in 6 weeks
(gpt-5.3-codex -> gpt-5.2-codex -> now broken again at gpt-5.2-codex)
because ChatGPT-account Codex gates which models it accepts via an
undocumented, shifting allow-list that OpenAI publishes no changelog
for. Any pinned default will keep going stale. Issue #17533 reports
the current breakage: every ChatGPT-account auxiliary fallback fails
with HTTP 400 "model is not supported" and the 60s pause loop degrades
long sessions.
Rather than reset the clock with another stale pin (PR #17544 proposes
gpt-5.2-codex -> gpt-5.4), remove the hardcoded second-order Codex
fallback entirely:
- Delete `_CODEX_AUX_MODEL`.
- Drop `_try_codex` from `_get_provider_chain()` (the auto chain now
ends at api-key providers; 4 rungs instead of 5).
- Rename `_try_codex() -> _build_codex_client(model)` and require an
explicit model from the caller. No more guessing.
- `resolve_provider_client("openai-codex", model=None)` now warns and
returns (None, None) instead of silently guessing a stale model ID.
- Remove `_try_codex` from the `provider="custom"` fallback ladder
(same stale-constant trap).
- `_resolve_strict_vision_backend("openai-codex")` routes through
`resolve_provider_client` so the caller's explicit model is honored.
Codex-main users are unaffected: Step 1 of `_resolve_auto` already
uses `main_provider` + `main_model` directly and passes the user's
configured Codex model through `resolve_provider_client`, which never
touched `_CODEX_AUX_MODEL`. Per-task overrides (`auxiliary.<task>.provider/model`)
continue to work and are the supported way to route specific aux tasks
through Codex.
Users whose main provider fails with a payment/connection error and
who have ONLY ChatGPT-account Codex auth will now see the 60s pause
without a stale-model-rejection noise line in between -- same outcome,
cleaner failure.
Closes#17533. Supersedes #17544 (which resets the clock on the
same stale-constant problem).
Keep context-1m-2025-08-07 in OAuth requests by default so 1M-capable
subscriptions retain full context. When Anthropic rejects a request with
400 'long context beta is not yet available for this subscription',
disable the beta for the rest of the session, rebuild the client, and
retry once.
Addresses #17680 (thanks @JayGwod for the clean reproduction) without
forcing every OAuth user off the 1M context window.
Changes:
- agent/error_classifier.py: new FailoverReason.oauth_long_context_beta_forbidden;
pattern matches 400 + 'long context beta' + 'not yet available'. Narrow
enough that the existing 429 tier-gate pattern keeps its own reason.
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py: _common_betas_for_base_url,
build_anthropic_client, build_anthropic_kwargs gain drop_context_1m_beta
kwarg. Default=False (1M stays). OAuth OAUTH_ONLY_BETAS unchanged.
- agent/transports/anthropic.py: build_kwargs forwards the flag.
- run_agent.py: self._oauth_1m_beta_disabled flag, retry-once guard,
recovery branch next to the image-shrink path. _rebuild_anthropic_client
honors the flag. The main build_kwargs call site threads it through for
fast-mode extra_headers.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py, hermes_cli/models.py: sibling OAuth /v1/models
probes get the same reactive retry — previously they'd falsely report
the Anthropic API as unreachable for affected subscriptions.
Tests: 2190 tests/agent/ + 94 adjacent integration tests pass. New unit
tests cover the classifier pattern (including the collision guard against
the 429 tier-gate) and the drop_context_1m_beta adapter behavior (default
keeps 1M, flag strips only 1M while preserving every other beta).
Platform plugins shipped in-repo under plugins/platforms/ should be
available out of the box — users shouldn't have to add 'irc-platform'
to plugins.enabled before they can pick IRC from the gateway setup menu.
Adds a new ``kind: platform`` plugin type that mirrors the existing
``kind: backend`` auto-load semantics:
- Bundled (shipped in the hermes-agent repo): auto-load unconditionally.
- User-installed (~/.hermes/plugins/): still opt-in via plugins.enabled
so untrusted code doesn't silently run.
Changes:
* hermes_cli/plugins.py: add 'platform' to _VALID_PLUGIN_KINDS, document
the new kind in the PluginManifest docstring, extend the bundled auto-
load rule from 'backend only' to 'backend or platform'.
* plugins/platforms/irc/plugin.yaml: declare kind: platform.
* hermes_cli/gateway.py: remove the now-redundant
_load_bundled_platform_plugins_for_enumeration() helper and the
_enable_plugin_for_platform() helper. The setup menu's _all_platforms()
just calls discover_plugins() and reads the registry — bundled
platforms are already loaded at that point. Drops the 'needs_enable'
flag and the 'plugin disabled — select to enable' status string.
* hermes_cli/setup.py: relax the "gateway is configured" detector used
during OpenClaw migration. Switching to _platform_status() in an
earlier commit tightened the check to require an exact "configured"
match, dropping platforms whose status is "enabled, not paired",
"partially configured", "configured + E2EE", etc. Now any non-"not
configured" status counts — the user has already started setup there
and we shouldn't force the section to rerun.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_irc.py: drop the TestIRCPluginDisabledFlow
class and test_configure_platform_enables_disabled_plugin_first — the
no-longer-existent flow they were testing.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_openclaw_migration.py: patch both
setup.get_env_value and gateway.get_env_value in the 4 gateway-section
tests that reach _platform_status() through the unified setup flow;
switch WHATSAPP_ENABLED to the literal "true" in the registry-parity
test so WhatsApp's value-shape validator matches.
Verified via fresh-install smoke (empty plugins.enabled, no env vars):
IRC plugin loads, Platform('irc') resolves, _all_platforms() lists IRC
with status 'not configured'. 160 targeted tests pass.
feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
Merge the two gateway setup paths (hermes setup gateway + hermes gateway
setup) to use a single _unified_platforms() list that merges built-in
_PLATFORMS with dynamically registered plugin entries from
platform_registry.
- Add setup_fn field to PlatformEntry for plugin setup flows
- _unified_platforms() merges built-ins with registry entries by key
- setup_gateway() now uses unified list instead of hardcoded
_GATEWAY_PLATFORMS tuple list
- gateway_setup() uses same unified list, plugin entries appear
alongside built-ins with no [plugin] suffix
- _platform_status() handles plugin platforms via registry check_fn
- Plugin platforms with setup_fn get called directly; plugins without
get a generic env-var display fallback
IRC and other plugin platforms now appear automatically in the setup
menu when registered via platform_registry.register().
feat(gateway): surface disabled platform plugins in setup and auto-enable on select
Platform plugins under plugins/platforms/* (IRC, etc.) were gated behind
plugins.enabled, so `hermes gateway setup` wouldn't list them until the
user ran `hermes plugins enable <name>` first. Now the setup menu always
surfaces them as "plugin disabled — select to enable", and picking one
adds it to plugins.enabled before running its setup flow.
Along the way, unify the two gateway setup flows so `hermes setup gateway`
and `hermes gateway setup` both read from the same platform list (built-in
_PLATFORMS + platform_registry entries), dispatch through a single
_configure_platform() helper, and share _platform_status(). Deletes the
dead bespoke wrappers in setup.py (_setup_whatsapp, _setup_weixin,
_setup_email, etc.) that duplicated logic now covered by the registry
path or _setup_standard_platform.
Also:
- PlatformEntry gains a plugin_name field so the registry knows which
plugin owns each entry (required for auto-enable).
- PluginContext.register_platform auto-stamps plugin_name from the
manifest so plugins don't have to pass it explicitly.
- PluginManager now scans plugins/platforms/* as its own category root,
one level below the bundled plugin scan.
- Fix IRC plugin discovery: rename PLUGIN.yaml → plugin.yaml (the
scanner is case-sensitive) and add the missing __init__.py that
_load_directory_module requires.
Extends the platform plugin interface from Phase 1 to cover every
touchpoint where built-in platforms have hardcoded behavior.
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env: per-platform auth env vars
- max_message_length: smart-chunking for send_message tool
- pii_safe: session PII redaction flag
- emoji: CLI/gateway display
- allow_update_command: /update access control
send_message tool (tools/send_message_tool.py):
- Replaced hardcoded platform_map dict with Platform() call
- Added _send_via_adapter() for plugin platforms — routes through
live gateway adapter when available
- Registry-aware max message length for smart chunking
Cron delivery (cron/scheduler.py):
- Replaced hardcoded 15-entry platform_map with Platform() call
- Plugin platforms now work as cron delivery targets
User authorization (gateway/run.py _is_user_authorized):
- Registry fallback: checks PlatformEntry.allowed_users_env and
allow_all_env when platform not in hardcoded maps
- Plugin platforms get per-platform auth support
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS: checks registry allow_update_command flag
Channel directory: includes plugin platforms in session enumeration
Orphaned config warning: descriptive message when plugin platform is
in config but no plugin registered it
Gateway weakref: _gateway_runner_ref for cross-module adapter access
hermes status: shows plugin platforms with (plugin) tag
hermes gateway setup: plugin platforms appear in menu with setup hints
hermes_cli/platforms.py: get_all_platforms() merges with registry,
platform_label() falls back to registry for plugin names
- 8 new tests (extended fields, cron resolution, platforms merge)
- Updated 3 tests for new Platform() based resolution
- 2829 passed, 24 pre-existing failures, zero new failures
Adds a platform adapter plugin interface so anyone can create new gateway
platforms (IRC, Viber, Line, etc.) as drop-in plugins without modifying
core gateway code.
- PlatformEntry dataclass: name, label, adapter_factory, check_fn,
validate_config, required_env, install_hint, source
- PlatformRegistry singleton with register/unregister/create_adapter
- _create_adapter() in gateway/run.py checks registry first, falls
through to existing if/elif chain for built-in platforms
- Platform._missing_() accepts unknown string values, creating cached
pseudo-members so Platform('irc') is Platform('irc') holds true
- GatewayConfig.from_dict() now parses plugin platform names from
config.yaml without rejecting them
- get_connected_platforms() delegates to registry for unknown platforms
- PluginContext.register_platform() for plugin authors
- Mirrors the existing register_tool() / register_hook() pattern
- Full async IRC adapter using stdlib asyncio (zero external deps)
- Connects via TLS, handles PING/PONG, nick collision, NickServ auth
- Channel messages require addressing (nick: msg), DMs always dispatch
- Markdown stripping for IRC-clean output, message splitting for
512-byte line limit
- Config via config.yaml extra dict or IRC_* env vars
- Platform enum dynamic members (identity stability, case normalization)
- PlatformRegistry (register, unregister, create, validation, factory)
- GatewayConfig integration (from_dict parsing, get_connected_platforms)
- IRC adapter (init, send, protocol parsing, markdown, requirements)
No existing platform adapters were migrated — the if/elif chain is
untouched. This is Phase 1: prove the interface with a real plugin.
Reloading MCP servers rebuilds the tool set for the active session, which
invalidates the provider prompt cache (tool schemas are baked into the
system prompt). The next message re-sends full input tokens — can be
expensive on long-context or high-reasoning models.
To surface that cost, /reload-mcp now routes through a new slash-confirm
primitive with three options: Approve Once / Always Approve / Cancel.
'Always Approve' persists approvals.mcp_reload_confirm: false so future
reloads run silently.
Coverage:
* Classic CLI (cli.py) — interactive numbered prompt.
* TUI (tui_gateway + Ink ops.ts) — text warning on first call; `now` /
`always` args skip the gate; `always` also persists the opt-out.
* Messenger gateway — button UI on Telegram (inline keyboard), Discord
(discord.ui.View), Slack (Block Kit actions); text fallback on every
other platform via /approve /always /cancel replies intercepted in
gateway/run.py _handle_message.
* Config key: approvals.mcp_reload_confirm (default true).
* Auto-reload paths (CLI file watcher, TUI config-sync mtime poll) pass
confirm=true so they do NOT prompt.
Implementation:
* tools/slash_confirm.py — module-level pending-state store used by all
adapters and by the CLI prompt. Thread-safe register/resolve/clear.
* gateway/platforms/base.py — send_slash_confirm hook (default 'Not
supported' → text fallback).
* gateway/run.py — _request_slash_confirm helper + text intercept in
_handle_message (yields to in-progress tool-exec approvals so
dangerous-command /approve still unblocks the tool thread first).
Tests:
* tests/tools/test_slash_confirm.py — primitive lifecycle + async
resolution + double-click atomicity (16 tests).
* tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_reload_confirm_gate.py — default-config
shape + deep-merge preserves user opt-out (5 tests).
Targeted runs (hermetic): 89 passed (slash-confirm, config gate,
existing agent cache, existing telegram approval buttons).
PR #15027 (5 days ago) shipped TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS as a chat-ID
allowlist. #17686 correctly renames that to sender user IDs and moves
chat IDs to TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS. Without a shim, any user on
PR #15027's guidance would silently start rejecting group traffic on
upgrade.
- gateway/run.py: in _is_user_authorized, if TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
contains values starting with '-' (chat-ID-shaped), honor them as chat
IDs and log a one-shot deprecation warning pointing users at the new
TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS var.
- tests/gateway/test_unauthorized_dm_behavior.py: three new tests cover
legacy chat-ID values authorizing the listed chat, not crossing to
other chats, and mixed sender/chat values in the same var.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md: rewrite the Group
Allowlisting section to document the new user/chat split + migration
note. Remove stale '/thread_id' suffix claim (code never parsed it).
- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md: document all three
Telegram allowlist env vars.
Salvage-follow-up to @shannonsands's /reload-skills PR. Trims the feature to
match the design: user-initiated rescan, no prompt-cache reset, no new
schema surface, no phantom user turn, and the next-turn note carries each
added/removed skill's 60-char description (not just its name).
Changes vs the original PR:
* Drop the in-process skills prompt-cache clear in reload_skills(). Skills
are invoked at runtime via /skill-name, skills_list, or skill_view —
they don't need to live in the system prompt for the model to use them.
Keeping the cache intact preserves prefix caching across the reload so
/reload-skills pays no cache-reset cost. (MCP has to break the cache
because tool schemas must be known at conversation start; skills do not.)
* Drop the skills_reload agent tool and SKILLS_RELOAD_SCHEMA from
tools/skills_tool.py, plus the four skills_reload enumerations in
toolsets.py. No new schema surface — agents can already see a freshly-
installed skill via skill_view / skills_list the moment it's on disk.
* Replace the phantom 'role: user' turn injection with a one-shot queued
note. CLI uses self._pending_skills_reload_note (same pattern as
_pending_model_switch_note, prepended to the next API call and cleared).
Gateway uses self._pending_skills_reload_notes[session_key]. The note
is prepended to the NEXT real user message in this session, so message
alternation stays intact and nothing out-of-band is persisted to the
transcript.
* reload_skills() now returns added/removed as
[{'name': str, 'description': str}, ...] (description truncated to 60
chars — matches the curator / gateway adapter budget). The injected
next-turn note formats each entry as 'name — description' so the model
can actually reason about which new skills to call without running
skills_list first.
* Only emit the note when the diff is non-empty. On empty diff, print
'No new skills detected' and do nothing else.
* Tests rewritten to cover the queue semantics, the description payload,
and a regression guard that the prompt-cache snapshot is preserved.
Adds a public reload path for the in-process skill caches so newly
installed (or removed) skills become visible mid-session without a
gateway restart. Mirrors the shape of /reload-mcp.
Three surfaces:
* /reload-skills slash command — CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py),
with /reload_skills alias for Telegram autocomplete and an explicit
Discord registration.
* skills_reload agent tool (tools/skills_tool.py) — lets agents/subagents
pick up freshly-installed skills via tool call.
* agent.skill_commands.reload_skills() — shared helper that clears
_skill_commands, _SKILLS_PROMPT_CACHE (in-process LRU), and the
on-disk .skills_prompt_snapshot.json, then returns an added/removed
diff plus the new total count.
Tested:
* tests/agent/test_skill_commands_reload.py (9 cases)
* tests/cli/test_cli_reload_skills.py (3 cases)
* tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_command.py (4 cases)
Use case: NemoClaw / OpenShell-style sandboxed orchestrators that drop
skills into ~/.hermes/skills mid-session, plus agentic flows where the
agent itself installs a skill via the shell tool and needs it bound
without a gateway restart. The Python helper
clear_skills_system_prompt_cache(clear_snapshot=True) already exists
internally — this PR just exposes it via slash command and tool.
Pull the top-level + chat parser construction out of main() into
hermes_cli/_parser.py so relaunch.py can introspect parser._actions to
discover which flags exist and whether they take values, instead of
maintaining a parallel hand-rolled (flag, takes_value) tuple list.
- _parser.py: build_top_level_parser() returns (parser, subparsers,
chat_parser); side-effect-free import.
- main.py: ~290 lines of inline parser construction collapsed to a
helper call. Other subparsers stay inline (dispatch is bound to
module-level cmd_* functions).
- _parser._inherited_flag(parser, ...): wraps parser.add_argument and
sets action.inherit_on_relaunch = True. Used in place of
parser.add_argument for the 25 flags (top-level + chat) that need to
carry over.
- _parser.PRE_ARGPARSE_INHERITED_FLAGS: holds --profile/-p, which
isn't on argparse (consumed earlier by main._apply_profile_override).
- relaunch.py: drops _CRITICAL_DESTS and _PRE_ARGPARSE_FLAGS; the table
builder now filters by getattr(action, 'inherit_on_relaunch', False).
- test_ignore_user_config_flags.py: brittle inspect.getsource grep
replaced with proper parser introspection.
- test_relaunch.py: introspection sanity tests added.
Salvaged from PR #17549; added top-level -t/--toolsets flag to
_parser.py so #17623 (fix(tui): honor launch toolsets) behavior is
preserved on current main.

Extract all os.execvp('hermes', ...) calls into a utility so flags like
--tui, --dev, --profile, --model, --provider, et al. survive session
resume and post-setup relaunch.
- resolve_hermes_bin: prefers sys.argv[0] when callable, then PATH,
then falls back to '${sys.executable} -m hermes_cli.main' (fixes nix
run relaunches)
- build_relaunch_argv: allowlists critical flags so they carry over
- cmd_sessions browse now calls relaunch(['--resume', <id>])
- _apply_profile_override skips redundant work when HERMES_HOME is
already set (child inherits parent profile)
- setup.py replaces _resolve_hermes_chat_argv with relaunch_chat()
- added comprehensive tests for flag extraction and binary resolution

If a concurrent RPC mutates _sessions while session.delete is iterating
it (e.g. a parallel session.create on the thread pool), the bare except
swallowed the RuntimeError and let the delete proceed against a row
that may still be live. Snapshot via list(_sessions.values()) and
return an error when even that raises, instead of treating "couldn't
check" as "no active sessions."
Pressing `d` on the highlighted row in the resume picker prompts
`delete? y/n`; `y` deletes the session (DB row + on-disk transcript
files), anything else cancels. The active session is excluded from
deletion server-side.
Adds a new `session.delete` JSON-RPC handler that wraps
`SessionDB.delete_session`, forwarding the per-profile `sessions/`
directory so transcripts get cleaned up alongside the row.
CI Tests workflow has been red on main for 40+ consecutive runs. This
commit recovers every failure visible in run 25130722163 (most recent
completed run prior to this PR).
Root causes, by group:
Test-mock drift after product landed (fix: update mocks)
- test_mcp_structured_content / test_mcp_dynamic_discovery (6 tests):
product added _rpc_lock (#02ae15222) and _schedule_tools_refresh
(#1350d12b0) without updating sibling test files. Install a real
asyncio.Lock inside the fake run-loop and patch at _schedule_tools_refresh.
- test_session.py: renamed normalize_whatsapp_identifier → canonical_
whatsapp_identifier upstream; keep a local alias so the legacy tests
keep working.
- test_run_progress_topics Slack DM test: PR #8006 made Slack default
tool_progress=off; explicitly set it to 'all' in the test fixture so
the progress-callback path still runs. Also read tool_progress_callback
at call time rather than freezing it in FakeAgent.__init__ — production
assigns it AFTER construction.
- test_tui_gateway_server session-create/close race: session.create now
defers _start_agent_build behind a 50ms timer — wait for the build
thread to enter _make_agent before closing, otherwise the orphan-
cleanup path never runs.
- test_protocol session.resume: product get_messages_as_conversation now
takes include_ancestors kwarg; accept **_kwargs in the test stub.
- test_copilot_acp_client redaction: redactor is OFF by default (snapshots
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at import); patch agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED=True
for the duration of the test.
- test_minimax_provider: after #17171, dots in non-Anthropic model names
stay dots even with preserve_dots=False. Assert the new invariant
rather than the old 'broken for MiniMax' behavior.
- test_update_autostash: updater now scans `ps -A` for dashboard PIDs;
the test's catch-all subprocess.run stub needed stdout/stderr fields.
- test_accretion_caps: read_timestamps dict is populated lazily when
os.path.getmtime succeeds. Use .get("read_timestamps", {}) to tolerate
CI filesystems where the stat races file creation.
Change-detector tests (fix: rewrite as structural invariants)
- test_credential_sources_registry_has_expected_steps: was a frozen set
comparison that broke when minimax-oauth was added. Rewrite as an
invariant check (every step has description, no dupes, core steps
present) per AGENTS.md 'don't write change-detector tests'.
xdist ordering / test pollution (fix: reset state, use module-local patches)
- test_setup vercel: sibling test saved VERCEL_PROJECT_ID='project' to
os.environ via save_env_value() and never cleared it. monkeypatch.delenv
the VERCEL_* vars in the link-file test.
- test_clipboard TestIsWsl: GitHub Actions is on Azure VMs whose real
/proc/version often contains 'microsoft'. Patching builtins.open with
mock_open didn't reliably intercept hermes_constants.is_wsl's call in
xdist workers that had already cached _wsl_detected=True from an
earlier test. Patch hermes_constants.open directly and add
teardown_method to reset the cache after each test.
Pytest-asyncio cancellation hangs (fix: bound product await with timeout)
- test_session_split_brain_11016 (3 params) + test_gateway_shutdown
cancel-inflight: under pytest-asyncio 1.3.0, 'await task' and
'asyncio.gather(cancelled_tasks)' can stall for 30s when the cancelled
task's finally block awaits typing-task cleanup. Bound both with
asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=5.0) and asyncio.shield — the stragglers
are released from adapter tracking and allowed to finish unwinding in
the background. This is also a legitimate hardening: a wedged finally
shouldn't stall the caller's dispatch or a gateway shutdown.
Orphan UI config (fix: merge tiny tab into messaging category)
- test_web_server test_no_single_field_categories: the telegram.reactions
config field lived in its own 'telegram' schema category with no
siblings. Fold it under 'discord' via _CATEGORY_MERGE so the dashboard
doesn't render an orphan single-field tab.
Local verification: 38/38 originally-failing tests pass; 4044/4044
gateway tests pass; 684/684 targeted subset (all 16 touched test files)
passes.
Detect leaked SGR mouse-report fragments in CLI input, strip them, and reset terminal modes in-place so scroll and typing recover without reopening the tab. Add regression tests for escaped, visible, and bare leak forms.
* fix(tui): offload manual compaction RPC
Route TUI session compression through the existing long-handler pool so slow compaction does not block other gateway RPCs.
* fix(tui): show compaction progress immediately
Print a local status line before the compress RPC starts so slow manual compaction does not look like a no-op.
* feat(tui): rich /compress feedback parity with CLI
Show pre-compaction message count and rough token estimate immediately, emit a status update so the bottom bar reflects ongoing compaction, and report a multi-line summary (headline + token delta + optional note) using the shared summarize_manual_compression helper.
* fix(tui): show live compaction estimate in transcript
Mirror compression progress status into the transcript so users see the backend message count and token estimate while /compress is still running.
* fix(tui): single live compaction line with spinner glyph
Drop the redundant local "compressing context..." placeholder and prefix the live backend status line with a braille spinner glyph so /compress reads as a single in-progress row.
* fix(tui): address review nits on /compress feedback
Reuse the precomputed token estimate inside _compress_session_history so the gateway does not redo the O(n) work while holding history_lock, keep the status bar pinned during long manual compactions instead of auto-restoring after 4s, and drop the redundant noop bullet that doubled with the system role glyph.
* fix(tui): release history_lock during compaction LLM call
Move the snapshot/commit pattern into _compress_session_history so the lock is held only across the in-memory bookkeeping, not during agent._compress_context. Also emit a final neutral status update from session.compress so the pinned compressing indicator clears even on errors.
* fix(tui): rebuild prompt cleanly + sync session_key after compress
Pass system_message=None so AIAgent._compress_context rebuilds the system prompt without nesting the cached identity block. Reuse the handler's pre-snapshotted history inside _compress_session_history to avoid a second O(n) copy under the lock. After compaction, when AIAgent._compress_context rotates session_id, sync the gateway session_key, migrate approval notify + yolo state, restart the slash worker, and clear the stale pending title. Mirrors HermesCLI._manual_compress.
* Avoid /compress lock re-entry in slash side effects.
Stop pre-locking history before _compress_session_history in slash command mirroring, keep session-key sync parity with manual compression, and add a regression test that asserts /compress is invoked without holding history_lock.
* fix(tui): honor launch toolsets
Carry chat --toolsets through the TUI launcher so TUI sessions use the same per-session tool scope as the classic CLI.
* fix(tui): parse top-level toolsets flag
Allow top-level hermes --tui --toolsets to reach the implicit chat session, matching chat subcommand behavior.
* fix(tui): validate launch toolsets
Filter invalid HERMES_TUI_TOOLSETS entries and fall back to configured CLI toolsets when the override contains no valid toolsets.
* fix(tui): avoid config load for builtin toolsets
Honor built-in HERMES_TUI_TOOLSETS values before loading config and treat all/* as the all-toolsets sentinel.
* fix(cli): honor toolsets in oneshot mode
Forward top-level --toolsets into oneshot agent construction so the flag is not silently ignored outside the TUI path.
* fix(cli): validate oneshot toolsets
Reject invalid-only oneshot toolset overrides before output redirection and clarify TUI fallback warnings.
* fix(cli): preserve all-toolsets sentinel
Map explicit all/* oneshot toolset overrides to the all-toolsets sentinel and replace locals() checks in TUI toolset loading.
* fix(cli): warn on extra all-toolset entries
Warn when all/* toolset overrides include additional ignored entries so typos are still visible.
* fix(tui): honor plugin toolset overrides
Discover plugin toolsets before rejecting unresolved explicit toolset overrides and read raw config for MCP name validation.
* fix(tui): reuse toolset argument normalizer
Share top-level TUI toolset argument parsing with the oneshot path to avoid duplicate normalization logic.
* fix(cli): reject disabled mcp toolsets
Validate explicit toolset overrides against enabled MCP servers only and clarify top-level toolset flag help.
* fix(cli): distinguish disabled mcp from unknown toolsets
Report disabled MCP servers separately from unknown toolset entries and stub plugin discovery in invalid-name tests for determinism.
shutil.copytree from default ~/.hermes duplicated ~/.hermes/profiles into
the new profile, causing nested profiles/.../profiles/... and huge disk use.
Match export behavior (_DEFAULT_EXPORT_EXCLUDE_ROOT) by ignoring the sibling
profiles tree at the source root.
Made-with: Cursor
The skip_pre_tool_call_hook flag was added to prevent double-firing of
pre_tool_call when run_agent._invoke_tool pre-checks for a block
directive and then dispatches via handle_function_call. But the
implementation added an else: branch that fired invoke_hook again for
'observers', without noticing that get_pre_tool_call_block_message() in
hermes_cli.plugins already fires invoke_hook('pre_tool_call', ...) as
part of its block-directive poll.
Result: every tool call ran through the run_agent loop fired the hook
twice — reported by community users whose observer / audit plugins
logged each tool invocation twice with identical timestamps.
Fix: delete the else: branch. The single-fire contract is now:
- skip=False (direct handle_function_call): hook fires once inside
get_pre_tool_call_block_message().
- skip=True (run_agent._invoke_tool path): caller fires the hook
once via get_pre_tool_call_block_message(); handle_function_call
must not fire it again.
Tightened the existing skip-flag test (renamed to
test_skip_flag_prevents_double_fire) to assert pre_tool_call fires
zero times when skip=True, and added
test_run_agent_pattern_fires_pre_tool_call_exactly_once to lock in
end-to-end that the full block-check + dispatch sequence fires the
hook exactly once.
Extend curator's pin flag from 'skip auto-transitions' to 'no agent
edits at all'. All five skill_manage mutation actions (edit, patch,
delete, write_file, remove_file) now refuse pinned skills with a
message pointing the user at `hermes curator unpin <name>`.
Motivation: pin used to only stop the curator's own maintenance pass
from touching a skill. Nothing prevented the main agent from editing
or deleting a pinned skill via skill_manage in-session. This gives
users a hard fence against unwanted agent edits — same semantics as
curator pinning, extended to the write tool.
Create is unaffected (you can't pin a name that doesn't exist yet,
and name collisions already error out). Broken sidecars fail open
rather than lock the agent out.
The schema description advertises the new refusal so models know
not to route around it with rename/recreate tricks.
compute_next_run() ignored the last_run_at parameter for cron-type
schedules, always computing from _hermes_now() instead. This was
inconsistent with interval jobs which DO use last_run_at as the anchor.
After a crash or restart, cron jobs would compute next_run_at from
the arbitrary restart time rather than the actual last execution time.
While the stale detection in get_due_jobs() catches most cases, using
last_run_at as the croniter base eliminates edge cases and makes the
behavior consistent across schedule types.
Salvaged from #9014 (authored by @beenherebefore) onto current main.
The original PR branch was 2+ weeks stale and would have reverted
substantial unrelated work (jobs_file_lock, workdir/context_from/
enabled_toolsets, issue #16265 state=error recovery). Kept just the
7-line substantive fix and the regression test.
Bare `float(os.getenv("HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT", 600))` in `run_job()` raises
a `ValueError` when the env var is set to a non-numeric string (e.g. "abc").
Replace it with the same defensive try/except pattern already used by
`_get_script_timeout()` for `HERMES_CRON_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT`: log a warning
and fall back to the 600 s default instead of crashing.
Also update the existing env-var tests to exercise the new code path and
add two new tests — one for an invalid value, one for an empty string.
Fixes#11319
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Closes#4759, closes#4381.
Mutating actions (patch, edit, write_file, remove_file, delete) used to
refuse skills that lived under `skills.external_dirs` with 'Skill X is in
an external directory and cannot be modified. Copy it to your local skills
directory first.' Faced with that error, the agent would fall back to
action='create', which always writes under ~/.hermes/skills/ — producing
a silent duplicate of the external skill in the local store.
Fix: drop the read-only gate. `skills.external_dirs` is configured by the
user; if they pointed it at a directory, they already said 'these are my
skills, treat them the same.' Filesystem permissions handle the genuine
read-only case (write fails, agent sees the error).
- New _containing_skills_root() resolves whichever dir actually contains
the skill; _delete_skill uses it to bound empty-category cleanup so an
external root is never rmdir'd.
- _create_skill behavior is unchanged: new skills still land in local
SKILLS_DIR only. Fewer moving parts.
- Seven new TestExternalSkillMutations tests covering patch/edit/write_file/
remove_file/delete/create against a mocked two-root layout + a category
rmdir-safety check.
When a user authenticates a built-in provider via env var (e.g. DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
triggers the built-in 'alibaba' row) AND defines a custom_providers entry
pointing at the same endpoint, the picker previously emitted two rows for one
endpoint. The built-in row already carries the canonical slug, curated model
list, and correct auth wiring, so the shadow custom entry is redundant.
Adds a _builtin_endpoints set populated as sections 1/2/2b emit rows. Each
entry is the provider's effective base URL (env override via base_url_env_var
wins over the static inference_base_url, so DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL-overridden
endpoints dedup correctly). Section 4 skips any grouped custom entry whose
base_url matches.
Intentionally does NOT repurpose model_catalog.enabled as a 'hide built-ins'
flag. That config controls the remote curated-manifest fetch (documented on
the model-catalog reference page) and overloading it would silently change
behavior for users who disable it for network/privacy reasons.
Three new tests:
- shadow dedup fires when endpoint matches static inference_base_url
- dedup does NOT hide custom entries on genuinely distinct endpoints
- dedup honors the base_url_env_var override path
Covers the #16748 fix:
- unsigned thinking blocks synthesised from reasoning_content survive replay
- non-latest assistant turns keep their thinking (DeepSeek validates every turn)
- signed Anthropic blocks are stripped (DeepSeek can't validate them)
- cache_control is stripped from thinking blocks
- OpenAI-compat base (api.deepseek.com without /anthropic) is NOT matched
- non-DeepSeek third parties (minimax) keep the generic strip-all behaviour
Follow-up to the cherry-picked PR #17447. The original flush spawned a
bare threading.Thread for the buffer-flush path, overwriting
self._sync_thread — which is aliased to the long-lived writer thread.
Two consequences:
1. No serialization with the writer queue. If old-session retains were
still queued in _retain_queue, the flush ran concurrently with the
writer and both threads could call aretain_batch against the same
document_id.
2. The pre-spawn 'self._sync_thread.join(timeout=5.0)' tried to join the
long-lived writer, which never exits, so the join was a no-op that
just timed out — never actually serialized anything.
Fix: enqueue the flush closure on _retain_queue via _ensure_writer +
put(). Natural FIFO ordering behind any pending retains, no new thread,
no broken join. Shutdown-aware so it doesn't enqueue after teardown.
Tests updated to drain via _retain_queue.join() instead of the stale
_sync_thread.join(). Added regression guard
test_flush_serializes_behind_pending_retains_via_writer_queue that
blocks the writer mid-retain to prove the flush waits in FIFO behind
the old retain.
Also seeds _retain_queue / _shutting_down / stubbed _ensure_writer on
the bare-object test helper in test_memory_session_switch.py so that
path doesn't blow up under the new queue-enqueue.
tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py + tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: 103/103 passing.
Two data-loss / leak gaps in HindsightMemoryProvider.on_session_switch
introduced by #17409.
1. Buffered turns silently lost when retain_every_n_turns > 1.
on_session_switch unconditionally cleared _session_turns without
flushing. Users who batched every N>1 turns and switched mid-batch
(/reset, /new, /resume, /branch, or context compression) had those
buffered turns disappear. Same data-loss class as the shutdown race,
different lifecycle event.
Note commit_memory_session() -> on_session_end() runs *before*
on_session_switch on /reset, but Hindsight doesn't implement
on_session_end so the buffer survives that step and dies at clear
time. /resume, /branch, and compression skip commit_memory_session
entirely so an on_session_end impl wouldn't help them anyway.
Fix: snapshot the old _session_id, _document_id, _parent_session_id,
_turn_index, and _session_turns; spawn one final retain that lands
under the OLD document_id; then rotate state. Metadata is built
synchronously against the old self._* so session_id / lineage tags
on the flushed item all reference the prior session consistently.
2. Stale _prefetch_result leaks across switch.
If queue_prefetch ran in the old session and the result hadn't been
consumed by prefetch() yet, on_session_switch left the cached recall
text in place. The next session's first prefetch() call would return
text mined from the prior session's bank/query.
Fix: join any in-flight _prefetch_thread (3s bounded — matches
shutdown()), then clear _prefetch_result under _prefetch_lock before
rotating session_id.
Tests
-----
- tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py (TestSessionSwitchBufferFlush):
- buffered turns flushed under OLD document_id with OLD lineage tags
- empty buffer => no spurious retain
- _prefetch_result cleared on switch
- in-flight prefetch thread is awaited before clear (no race)
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: factory extended to seed the
attrs the new flush path reads (_retain_source, _platform, _bank_id,
prefetch state, etc.) and stub _run_hindsight_operation so existing
switch-state assertions keep passing without network setup.
The ~/.openclaw/ detection banner (#16327) had two problems flagged in #16629:
1. It only pitched 'hermes claw cleanup' (destructive archive) and never
mentioned 'hermes claw migrate' — the actual non-destructive path that
ports config/memory/skills into Hermes.
2. The copy anthropomorphized the bug ('the agent can still get confused',
'dutifully reads') and framed OpenClaw as a competitor to eliminate
('instead of Hermes's').
Rewrite so migrate leads, cleanup is a clearly-labelled follow-up with a
warning that archiving breaks OpenClaw for users still running it.
Closes#16629
Address Copilot review on PR #16666:
1. **Duplicate event on every tool start** — both ``tool_progress_callback``
and ``tool_start_callback`` fire side-by-side in ``run_agent.py``, so
wiring both into chat completions emitted *two* ``hermes.tool.progress``
events per real tool call. Drop the legacy ``_on_tool_progress`` emit
entirely; ``_on_tool_start`` now produces a single unified event that
carries the legacy ``tool``/``emoji``/``label`` fields plus the new
``toolCallId``/``status`` correlation fields. Label is computed inline
via ``build_tool_preview`` so callers do not need to pre-format it.
2. **Weak per-event correlation in the regression test** — the previous
assertion checked that a ``toolCallId`` appeared *somewhere* in the
aggregate, which would have passed even if ``running`` lacked the id.
Collect ``(status, toolCallId)`` per event and assert each event
carries the correct pair, plus exactly two events on the wire (no
silent duplication regression).
The two existing chat-completions tool-progress tests are updated to fire
``tool_start_callback`` instead of ``tool_progress_callback``, matching
production reality where ``run_agent`` always pairs them.

Adds Vercel Sandbox as a supported Hermes terminal backend alongside
existing providers (Local, Docker, Modal, SSH, Daytona, Singularity).
Uses the Vercel Python SDK to create/manage cloud microVMs, supports
snapshot-based filesystem persistence keyed by task_id, and integrates
with the existing BaseEnvironment shell contract and FileSyncManager
for credential/skill syncing.
Based on #17127 by @scotttrinh, cherry-picked onto current main.
Adds two API server endpoints for external UIs and orchestrators:
- GET /v1/capabilities — machine-readable feature discovery so clients
can detect which Runs API / SSE / auth features this Hermes version
supports before depending on them.
- GET /v1/runs/{run_id} — pollable run status so dashboards can check
queued/running/completed/failed/cancelled/stopping state without
holding an SSE connection open.
Also moves request validation ahead of run allocation so invalid
payloads no longer leave orphaned entries in _run_streams waiting for
the TTL sweep.
task_id is intentionally kept as "default" for the Runs API to
preserve the shared-sandbox model used by CLI, gateway, and the
existing _run_agent_with_callbacks path. session_id is surfaced in
run status for external-UI correlation only.
Salvage of PR #17085 by @Magaav.
The guard that drops Anthropic's `thinking` kwarg for Kimi endpoints was
matched on `https://api.kimi.com/coding` only. Users configuring a
custom Kimi-compatible gateway (or an official Moonshot host) with
`api_mode: anthropic_messages` fall through to the generic third-party
path, which strips thinking blocks AND still sends
`thinking={enabled,...}` → upstream rejects with HTTP 400
"reasoning_content is missing in assistant tool call message at index N"
on the next request after a tool call.
Replace `_is_kimi_coding_endpoint` callers (history replay + thinking
kwarg gate) with `_is_kimi_family_endpoint(base_url, model)` that also
matches the `api.kimi.com` / `moonshot.ai` / `moonshot.cn` hosts and
Kimi/Moonshot family model names (`kimi-`, `moonshot-`, `k1.`, `k2.`,
…) for custom / proxied endpoints. Keeps the UA-header check in
`build_anthropic_client` URL-only — the `claude-code/0.1.0` header is
an official-Kimi contract.
Plumbs optional `model` through `convert_messages_to_anthropic` so
the unsigned reasoning_content→thinking block synthesised for Kimi's
history validation survives the third-party signature-stripping pass
on custom hosts too.
Closes#17057.
The cron schema contracts deliver as a string ("local", "origin",
"telegram", "telegram:chat_id[:thread_id]", or comma-separated combos),
but MCP clients and scripts sometimes pass an array like ['telegram'].
Before this change, the list was written to jobs.json verbatim, and
the scheduler's str(deliver).split(',') then tried to resolve the
literal string "['telegram']" as a platform — returning None and
logging 'no delivery target resolved for deliver=[\'telegram\']'.
Fix on both ends:
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: normalize deliver at the API boundary on
create and update, so storage is always a string.
- cron/scheduler.py: normalize deliver in _resolve_delivery_targets,
so existing jobs.json entries with list-form deliver are handled
gracefully without requiring users to edit the file.
Closes#17139
The plugin used to spawn one daemon thread per sync_turn() to do the
aretain_batch network write. On CLI exit, that pattern raced interpreter
shutdown — the last retain could reach aiohttp after asyncio's
"cannot schedule new futures" guard had fired, producing noisy logs and
silently losing the final unsaved turn:
WARNING ... Hindsight sync failed: cannot schedule new futures after
interpreter shutdown
ERROR asyncio: Unclosed client session
client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x...>
Switch to a single-writer model: each provider owns one long-lived
writer thread plus a queue. sync_turn() snapshots state and enqueues a
job; the writer drains sequentially. Once shutdown() is called:
- new sync_turn() / queue_prefetch() calls are dropped, not enqueued
- a sentinel wakes the writer so it finishes in-flight work
- shutdown joins the writer (10s) before nulling the client
Also register an idempotent atexit hook from the first sync_turn(), so
exit paths that don't go through MemoryManager.shutdown_all() (Ctrl-C,
abrupt exit) still get a chance to drain.
Tests: keep _sync_thread as a legacy alias to the writer, swap join()
calls to _retain_queue.join() (canonical wait-for-drain), add a new
TestShutdownRace suite covering single-writer reuse, post-shutdown drop,
queue draining, and shutdown idempotency.
Two fix-ups for #17123:
1. Reword the inline comment in `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes` to
accurately describe the failure mode (locale-dependent decoder, not a
"default UTF-8 decoder") and identify `errors="ignore"` as the
load-bearing protection. Per Copilot's review.
2. Switch `TestWindowsWmicEncoding` from `patch("hermes_cli.main.sys")`
to `monkeypatch.setattr(sys, "platform", "win32")` — the codebase's
canonical pattern (e.g. `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_ssl_macos.py`).
The MagicMock-replacement approach passed locally on Python 3.12 but
the platform-equality check failed under CI's xdist+Python 3.11,
leaving both new tests red despite the fix being present.

`hermes update` calls `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes()` to warn about
dashboard processes still running the pre-update Python backend. On
Windows, that scan shells out to `wmic process get ProcessId,CommandLine
/FORMAT:LIST` with `text=True` and no explicit encoding.
`wmic` emits text in the system code page (e.g. cp936 on zh-CN locales),
not UTF-8. Without an explicit `encoding=`, Python's default UTF-8
decoder crashes the subprocess reader thread with
`UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 ...`. In
Python 3.11 that crash is silently absorbed: `subprocess.run()` returns
a `CompletedProcess` with `result.stdout = None`, the next line calls
`result.stdout.split("\n")`, and `hermes update` aborts with the
exact `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'`
trace reported in #17049.
Fix: pass `encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore"` so undecodable bytes
cannot take down the reader thread (the parsing only matches the ASCII
prefixes `CommandLine=` and `ProcessId=`, so dropping non-UTF-8 bytes
is safe), and short-circuit when `result.stdout is None` as a defensive
guard for environments where the reader thread still fails for other
reasons.
This is the same root cause as #17074 (which patches
`hermes_cli/gateway._scan_gateway_pids` for the `hermes setup` path).
That PR does not touch `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes`, so
`hermes update` remains broken on the same locales until this lands.
Regression test in `tests/hermes_cli/test_update_stale_dashboard.py`:
- `test_wmic_invoked_with_utf8_ignore_errors` asserts the explicit
encoding/errors kwargs reach `subprocess.run`.
- `test_wmic_returns_none_stdout_does_not_crash` simulates the
reader-thread-crashed `result.stdout=None` aftermath and asserts the
function returns silently instead of raising AttributeError.
Both new tests fail against clean origin/main (7d4648461) reproducing
the original AttributeError; both pass with this patch. The remaining
3 failures in `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py` and
`test_update_autostash.py` are pre-existing baselines on origin/main —
they reproduce identically without this change and are unrelated to
the wmic scan.

Widen #17163 to the sibling file tools/transcription_tools.py, which had
the same class of bug. STT provider call sites and the _get_provider
selection gate called os.getenv(...) directly and missed keys that only
lived in ~/.hermes/.env.
Same pattern as tts_tool.py: one guarded top-level import of
get_env_value (falls back to os.getenv on ImportError), then every
API-key and paired-base-URL lookup swapped over.
Call sites migrated:
- _transcribe_groq — GROQ_API_KEY
- _transcribe_mistral — MISTRAL_API_KEY
- _transcribe_xai — XAI_API_KEY, XAI_STT_BASE_URL
- _get_provider — GROQ/MISTRAL/XAI_API_KEY in explicit + auto branches
Module-level defaults (DEFAULT_STT_MODEL, GROQ_BASE_URL, etc.) stay on
os.getenv — they're import-time constants, not runtime config, and the
dotenv fallback would add no value there.
New regression tests in tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py
(8 cases) mirror briandevans' TTS tests: per-provider dotenv-key
forwarding, selection-gate dotenv visibility, and an end-to-end probe
that patches hermes_cli.config.load_env to simulate ~/.hermes/.env
carrying the key while os.environ does not.
Wrap the new top-level `from hermes_cli.config import get_env_value`
in try/except ImportError and fall back to a thin os.getenv shim, so
importing tools.tts_tool keeps working in environments where
hermes_cli.config is unavailable. This matches the existing tolerance
in `_load_tts_config()` (tools/tts_tool.py) and the same
import-fallback pattern in tools/tool_backend_helpers.py::fal_key_is_configured.
Also update the TestDotenvFallbackPerProvider docstring to accurately
describe the mocking strategy: per-provider tests patch
`tools.tts_tool.get_env_value` directly, while the regression-guard
tests cover the lower-level `hermes_cli.config.load_env` integration.
Addresses Copilot review on #17163.

TTS provider tools (elevenlabs, xai, minimax, mistral, gemini) called
os.getenv("X_API_KEY") directly, which bypassed Hermes's dotenv bridge in
hermes_cli.config. Users who keep their TTS keys only in ~/.hermes/.env saw
"X_API_KEY not set" errors even though the rest of the stack
(agent/credential_pool, hermes_cli/auth) already resolves keys through
get_env_value() — same class of bug as #15914 fixed for those modules.
Switch every TTS env-var lookup (API keys, base URLs, and
check_tts_requirements gates) to get_env_value, which checks os.environ
first and then ~/.hermes/.env. Behaviour for users with keys exported in
the shell is unchanged; users with dotenv-only keys now succeed. The two
diagnostics prints in __main__ are migrated for consistency.
Regression test (tests/tools/test_tts_dotenv_fallback.py):
- per-provider: each backend reads the dotenv key when only
~/.hermes/.env carries it (5 providers).
- end-to-end: with hermes_cli.config.load_env returning the key and
os.environ empty, _generate_minimax_tts and check_tts_requirements
both succeed; reverting tools/tts_tool.py back to os.getenv makes all
7 tests fail with "MINIMAX_API_KEY not set" / similar.

* docs(anthropic): correct OAuth scope to Max plan + extra usage credits only
The previous docs pass (#17399) overstated what Anthropic OAuth works
with. In practice Hermes can only route against a Claude Max plan that
has purchased extra usage credits — the base Max allowance is not
consumed, and Claude Pro is not supported at all. Without Max + extra
credits, users must fall back to an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (pay-per-token).
Updates the four pages touched in #17399:
- integrations/providers.md
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md
- reference/environment-variables.md
- getting-started/quickstart.md
* fix(aux): skip kimi-coding in vision auto-detect (closes#17076)
Kimi Coding Plan's /coding endpoint (Anthropic Messages wire) has no
image_in capability — Kimi's own docs confirm and suggest switching to
a vision-capable model. Vision lives on the separate Kimi Platform
(api.moonshot.ai, OpenAI-wire, pay-as-you-go). When the user has
kimi-coding as main provider and auxiliary.vision.provider=auto,
resolve_vision_provider_client was handing back an AnthropicAuxiliaryClient
wrapped around /coding which 404'd on every vision request.
Add a _PROVIDERS_WITHOUT_VISION frozenset ({kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn})
and gate the main-provider vision branch on membership. On a skip the
auto-detect falls through to OpenRouter → Nous like any other
main-provider-unavailable case.
Explicit per-task overrides (auxiliary.vision.provider=kimi-coding) are
unaffected — the skip only applies when the caller is in auto mode.
Tests: 4 new targeted tests in TestVisionAutoSkipsKimiCoding covering
the skip path, CN variant, explicit-override passthrough, and a guard
against accidental skip-list widening.
Regression test for the ret=-2 / errmsg='unknown error' disambiguation:
- ret=-2 or errcode=-2 with 'unknown error' → stale session (True)
- ret=-2 with 'freq limit' or other errmsg → rate limit (False)
- ret=-14 → not matched here (handled by SESSION_EXPIRED_ERRCODE path)
- Success codes and missing errmsg → False
_run_async() bridges sync tool handlers to async code. When the handler
is invoked from inside a running event loop (gateway / nested async),
it spawns a worker thread and blocks on future.result(timeout=300).
Before this change, a coroutine that ran past 300s leaked its worker
thread:
- future.cancel() is a no-op on a running ThreadPoolExecutor future
(cancel only works on not-yet-started work).
- pool.shutdown(wait=False, cancel_futures=True) let the caller
proceed but the worker kept running the coroutine until it
returned on its own.
Every tool timeout leaked one thread. In long-lived gateway / RL
sessions this is cumulative.
The fix replaces bare asyncio.run() with a worker wrapper that
creates its own event loop. On timeout, _run_async schedules
task.cancel() on that loop via call_soon_threadsafe, then shuts the
pool down with wait=False so the caller returns immediately. The
coroutine observes CancelledError at its next await and the worker
thread exits cleanly.
Also switches logger.error() to logger.exception() in the top-level
handle_function_call() except block so tool failures produce full
stack traces in errors.log instead of just the message.
Related: #17420 (contributor flagged the leak; the original fix used
pool.shutdown(wait=True) which would have converted the leak into a
hang — caller blocks forever on the same stuck coroutine). Credit
for identifying the leak goes to the contributor.

Wrap each adapter.connect() in asyncio.wait_for() so one platform hanging
during startup or reconnect cannot block the others. Telegram's 8-retry
connect loop (~140s worst case) previously prevented Feishu from ever
starting when Telegram was network-restricted — common for users in
regions where Telegram is blocked.
Default timeout is 30s; override via HERMES_GATEWAY_PLATFORM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
(0 disables). Applied to both startup and the reconnect watcher so a
platform that hangs mid-retry also does not stall retries for others.
Fixes#17242
When a background terminal process spawns a descendant daemon that
inherits the stdout pipe (e.g. 'hermes update' triggering a gateway
systemctl restart), the reader thread's stdout.read() never returns EOF
and its finally: block never runs. session.exited stays False forever,
so process(action='poll') returns 'running' indefinitely even though
the direct child exited long ago.
Issue #17327: Feishu user polled 74 times over 7 minutes before killing
the gateway manually.
Fix: add _reconcile_local_exit() that checks the direct Popen.poll()
before trusting session.exited. If the direct child has exited, drain
any immediately-readable bytes non-blocking and flip session.exited.
Called from poll() and wait(). The stuck reader thread remains blocked
but is a daemon thread and gets reaped with the process.
Safe no-op for env/PTY sessions, already-exited sessions, and live
children (returns None from Popen.poll()).
Fixes#6672
Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.
MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
/branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.
MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
during shutdown paths.
run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
the rollover; now also calls
_memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').
cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.
gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
/branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
cross-session transitions.
Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
_turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
(avoids clobbering on a bare switch).
Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
queue_prefetch_all.
E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash
Reported by @nicoloboschi (Hindsight maintainer); related scope-widening
comment by @kidonng extending coverage to compression.
MiniMax's /anthropic endpoint documents cache_control support (0.1x read

needs it.
Closes#17332
Three Signal adapter improvements that depend on the no-edit-mode
plumbing from the previous commit.
1. Native formatting (markdown -> Signal bodyRanges)
Signal renders markdown as literal characters (**bold**, `code`, #
heading), which looks broken. Added _markdown_to_signal(text) that
strips markdown syntax and emits Signal-native bodyRanges as
start:length:STYLE entries. Offsets are computed in UTF-16 code
units so non-BMP emoji stay aligned. Supports BOLD, ITALIC, STRIKE,
MONO, and headings mapped to BOLD. Fenced code and inline code are
handled; link syntax is unwrapped to visible text + URL.
Includes edge-case fixes reported previously:
- Bullet lists ("* item") no longer misidentified as italics
- URLs containing underscores no longer italicized around the dot
2. Reply-quote context
Parses dataMessage.quote on inbound messages and populates
MessageEvent.raw_message with sender + timestamp_ms. This lets the
gateway's existing [Replying to: "..."] injector (gateway/run.py)
work on Signal, matching Telegram/Matrix behavior.
3. Processing reactions
Overrides on_processing_start -> hourglass and on_processing_complete
-> checkmark via the sendReaction JSON-RPC using targetAuthor and
targetTimestamp pulled from raw_message. Uses the ProcessingOutcome
enum introduced in the previous commit.
Also sets SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING = False on SignalAdapter so the
no-edit streaming path activates.
Tests: 40+ new tests in tests/gateway/test_signal_format.py covering
markdown conversion, UTF-16 offset correctness with non-BMP emoji,
bullet-list and URL false-positive regressions, reply-quote extraction,
and reaction payload shape. Regression extensions to test_signal.py.
Every curator pass now emits a dated report directory under
`~/.hermes/logs/curator/{YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS}/` with two files:
- `run.json` — machine-readable full record (before/after snapshot,
state transitions, all tool calls, model/provider, timing, full LLM
final response untruncated, error if any)
- `REPORT.md` — human-readable markdown: model + duration header,
auto-transition counts, LLM consolidation stats, archived-this-run
list, new-skills-this-run list, state transitions, the full LLM
final summary, and a recovery footer pointing at the archive + the
`hermes curator restore` command
Reports live under `logs/curator/`, not inside `skills/` — they're
operational telemetry, not user-authored skill data, and belong
alongside `agent.log` / `gateway.log`.
Internals:
- `_run_llm_review()` now returns a dict (final, summary, model,
provider, tool_calls, error) instead of a bare truncated string so
the reporter has full fidelity
- Report writer is fully best-effort — any failure logs at DEBUG and
never breaks the curator itself. Same-second rerun gets a numeric
suffix so reports can't clobber each other
- Report path stamped into `.curator_state` as `last_report_path`
- `hermes curator status` surfaces a "last report:" line so users
can immediately open the latest run
Tests (all green):
- 7 new tests in tests/agent/test_curator_reports.py covering: report
location (logs not skills), both files written, run.json shape and
diff accuracy, markdown structure, error path still writes, state
transitions captured, same-second runs get unique dirs
- Existing test_run_review_synchronous_invokes_llm_stub updated to
stub the new dict-returning _run_llm_review signature
Live E2E: ran a synchronous pass against a 1-skill test collection
with a stubbed LLM; report written correctly, state stamped with
last_report_path, markdown human-readable, run.json machine-parseable.
Add opt-in terminal.docker_run_as_host_user config flag that passes
--user $(id -u):$(id -g) to the Docker backend so files written into
bind-mounted directories (/workspace, /root, docker_volumes entries) are
owned by the host user instead of root.
When enabled on POSIX platforms, also drops SETUID/SETGID caps since the
container no longer needs gosu/su to switch users. Falls back cleanly on
platforms without os.getuid (e.g. native Windows Docker) with a warning.
Wired through all three config.yaml -> TERMINAL_* env-var bridges:
- cli.py env_mappings (CLI + TUI startup)
- gateway/run.py _terminal_env_map (gateway / messaging platforms)
- hermes_cli/config.py _config_to_env_sync (`hermes config set`)
Also fixes docker_mount_cwd_to_workspace silently failing in gateway
mode -- it was missing from gateway/run.py's _terminal_env_map.
Adds tests/tools/test_terminal_config_env_sync.py to guard against
future drift between the three bridges (same bug class shipped twice
in one month).
Bundled Hermes image won't work with this flag since its entrypoint
expects to start as root for the usermod/gosu hermes flow; works with
the default nikolaik/python-nodejs image and plain Debian/Ubuntu.

Based on three live test runs against 346 agent-created skills on the
author's own setup (~6.5 min, opus-4.7, 86 API calls), the curator
prompt needed three sharpenings before it consistently produced real
umbrella consolidation instead of passive audit output:
**Umbrella-first framing.** The original 'decide keep/patch/archive/
consolidate' framing lets opus default to 'keep' whenever two skills
aren't byte-identical. The new prompt explicitly tells the reviewer
that pairwise distinctness is the wrong bar — the right question is
'would a human maintainer write this as N separate skills, or one
skill with N labeled subsections?' Expect 10-25 prefix clusters; merge
each into an umbrella via one of three methods.
**Three concrete consolidation methods.** (a) Merge into an existing
umbrella (patch the broadest skill, archive siblings); (b) Create a
new umbrella SKILL.md (skill_manage action=create); (c) Demote
session-specific detail into references/, templates/, or scripts/
under the umbrella via skill_manage action=write_file, then archive
the narrow sibling. This matches the support-file vocabulary the
review-prompt side already uses (PR #17213).
**Two observed bailouts pre-empted:** 'usage counters are zero so I
can't judge' (rule 4: judge on content, not use_count) and 'each has
a distinct trigger' (rule 5: pairwise distinctness is the wrong bar).
**Config-aware parent inheritance.** _run_llm_review() was building
AIAgent() without explicit provider/model, hitting an auto-resolve
path that returned empty credentials → HTTP 400 'No models provided'
against OpenRouter. Fork now inherits the user's main provider and
model (via load_config + resolve_runtime_provider) before spawning —
runs on whatever the user is currently on, OAuth-backed or
pool-backed included.
**Unbounded iteration ceiling.** max_iterations=8 was way too low for
an umbrella-build pass over hundreds of skills. A live pass takes
50-100 API calls (scanning, clustering, skill_view'ing candidates,
patching umbrellas, mv'ing siblings). Raised to 9999 — the natural
stopping criterion is 'no more clusters worth processing', not an
arbitrary tool-call budget.
**Tests updated:** test_curator_review_prompt_has_invariants accepts
DO NOT / MUST NOT and drops 'keep' from the required-verb set (the
umbrella-first prompt correctly deemphasizes 'keep' as a first-class
decision label since passive keep-everything is the failure mode
being prevented). Added test_curator_review_prompt_is_umbrella_first
asserting the umbrella framing, class-level thinking, references/
+ templates/ + scripts/ support-file mentions, and the 'use_count
is not evidence of value' pre-emption. Added
test_curator_review_prompt_offers_support_file_actions asserting
skill_manage action=create and action=write_file are both named.
**Live validation on author's setup:**
- Run 1 (old prompt): 3 archives, stopped after surveying — typical passive outcome
- Run 2 (consolidation prompt): 44 archives, 3 patches, surfaced the 50-skill mlops reorg duplicate bug but didn't umbrella
- Run 3 (this prompt): 249 archives + 18 new class-level umbrellas created, reducing agent-created skills from 346 → 118 with every archived skill's content preserved as references/ under its umbrella. Pinned skill untouched. Full report in PR description.
Weekly is closer to how skill churn actually works — most agent-created
skills don't change multiple times per day, so a daily review is pure
cost without benefit. Bumping the default to 7 days reduces aux-model
spend while still catching drift and staleness on the timescales that
matter (30d stale, 90d archive).
Changes:
- DEFAULT_INTERVAL_HOURS: 24 -> 168 (7 days)
- config.yaml default: interval_hours: 24 -> 24 * 7
- CLI status line renders as '7d' when interval is a whole-day multiple
- Test `test_old_run_eligible` decoupled from the exact default: it now
uses 2 * get_interval_hours() so future tweaks don't break it
Previous invariants only gated the primary entry points
(apply_automatic_transitions, archive_skill, CLI pin). Several paths
were unprotected:
- bump_view / bump_use / bump_patch / set_state / set_pinned wrote
usage records unconditionally, which is confusing noise in
.usage.json even though the review list filtered them out
- restore_skill did not check whether a bundled skill now shadows
the archived name
- CLI unpin was asymmetric with CLI pin — it had no gate
Fixes:
- _mutate() (the shared counter / state writer) now drops silently
when the skill is not agent-created. .usage.json never gains a
record for a bundled or hub-installed skill.
- restore_skill() refuses to restore under a name that is now
bundled or hub-installed (would shadow upstream).
- CLI unpin gate matches CLI pin.
New tests:
- 5 provenance-guard tests on skill_usage (one per mutator)
- 1 end-to-end test that hammers every mutator at a bundled skill
and a hub skill, asserts both are untouched on disk, and asserts
the sidecar stays clean
- 2 CLI tests proving pin/unpin refuse bundled skills symmetrically
64/64 tests passing (29 skill_usage + 27 curator + 8 new guards).
The LLM review prompt mentioned bespoke `archive_skill` and `pin_skill`
tools that are not registered as model tools. Swap the prompt to rely
on the real surface:
- skill_manage action=patch — for patching and consolidation
- terminal — to `mv` skill dirs into .archive/
Also drop `pin` from the model's decision list — pinning is a user
opt-out for `hermes curator pin <skill>`, not something the model
should do autonomously.
Decision list is now: keep / patch / consolidate / archive.
Tests updated: prompt-invariant test now asserts the existing tools
are referenced and that bespoke tool names do NOT appear. New test
prevents `pin` from being re-added as a model decision.
Adds the Curator — an auxiliary-model background task that periodically
reviews AGENT-CREATED skills and keeps the collection tidy: tracks usage,
transitions unused skills through active → stale → archived, and spawns
a forked AIAgent to consolidate overlaps and patch drift.
Default: enabled, inactivity-triggered (no cron daemon). Runs on CLI
startup and gateway boot when the last run is older than interval_hours
(default 24) AND the agent has been idle for min_idle_hours (default 2).
Invariants (all load-bearing):
- Never touches bundled or hub-installed skills (.bundled_manifest +
.hub/lock.json double-filter)
- Never auto-deletes — archive only. Archives are recoverable
via `hermes curator restore <skill>`
- Pinned skills bypass all auto-transitions
- Uses the aux client; never touches the main session's prompt cache
New files:
- tools/skill_usage.py — sidecar .usage.json telemetry, atomic writes,
provenance filter
- agent/curator.py — orchestrator: config, idle gating, state-machine
transitions (pure, no LLM), forked-agent review prompt
- hermes_cli/curator.py — `hermes curator {status,run,pause,resume,
pin,unpin,restore}` subcommand
- tests/tools/test_skill_usage.py — 29 tests
- tests/agent/test_curator.py — 25 tests
Modified files (surgical patches):
- tools/skills_tool.py — bump view_count on successful skill_view
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py — bump patch_count on skill_manage
patch/edit/write_file/remove_file; forget record on delete
- hermes_cli/config.py — add curator: section to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- hermes_cli/commands.py — add /curator CommandDef with subcommands
- hermes_cli/main.py — register `hermes curator` subparser via
register_cli() from hermes_cli.curator
- cli.py — /curator slash-command dispatch + startup hook
- gateway/run.py — gateway-boot hook (mirrors CLI)
Validation:
- 54 new tests across skill_usage + curator, all passing in 3s
- 346 tests across all touched files' neighbors green
- 2783 tests across hermes_cli/ + gateway/test_run_progress_topics.py green
- CLI smoke: `hermes curator status/pause/resume` work end-to-end
Companion to PR #16026 (class-first skill review prompt) — together
they form a loop: the review prompt stops near-duplicate skill creation
at the source, and the curator prunes/consolidates what still accumulates.
Refs #7816.
Commit 3c42064e made config.yaml the single source of truth for
TERMINAL_CWD, but the config bridge passes cwd values verbatim to
os.environ. When a user sets terminal.cwd: ~/ in config.yaml, the
literal string '~/'' reaches subprocess.Popen, which the kernel
rejects because it does not expand shell tilde syntax.
This patch adds three defensive layers:
1. gateway/run.py — expanduser at config bridge time so TERMINAL_CWD
is always an absolute path.
2. tools/terminal_tool.py — expanduser when reading TERMINAL_CWD in
_get_env_config(), guarding against stale or manually-set env vars.
3. tools/environments/local.py — expanduser in LocalEnvironment before
passing cwd to subprocess.Popen, the final safety net.
Includes regression tests in test_config_cwd_bridge.py for nested
terminal.cwd, top-level cwd alias, and precedence ordering.
Refs: 3c42064e
The known-key splitter in `_sanitize_env_lines` used substring matching
to find concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs. When a registered key was a suffix
of another (LM_API_KEY is a suffix of GLM_API_KEY), the shorter key's
needle would match inside the longer one, causing the sanitizer to
rewrite `GLM_API_KEY=...` as `G\nLM_API_KEY=...` and silently break
Z.AI/GLM auth (and similarly `GLM_BASE_URL` -> `G\nLM_BASE_URL`).
Drop matches whose needle range is fully contained within a longer
overlapping match. Two regression tests cover the suffix-collision case
and confirm a real concatenation that happens to start with the longer
key still splits where it should.
Fixes#17138
Classic CLI exposes ``/reload`` (re-reads ~/.hermes/.env into
``os.environ`` via ``hermes_cli.config.reload_env``) so newly added API
keys take effect without restarting the session. The TUI was missing
the parity command, so users had to Ctrl+C out and ``hermes --tui``
again whenever they added or rotated a credential.
Three small wires:
* New ``reload.env`` JSON-RPC method in ``tui_gateway/server.py`` that
delegates to ``hermes_cli.config.reload_env`` and returns the count
of vars updated.
* New ``/reload`` slash command in ``ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/ops.ts``
matching the existing ``/reload-mcp`` pattern (native RPC, no slash
worker).
* Drop ``cli_only=True`` from the ``reload`` ``CommandDef`` in
``hermes_cli/commands.py`` so help/menus surface it in the TUI too.
``reload_env`` itself is environment-agnostic.
Same caveat as classic CLI: the *currently constructed* agent's
credential pool / provider routing does not auto-rebuild. Users who
want a brand-new credential resolution should follow with ``/new``.
Tests:
* New ``test_reload_env_rpc_calls_hermes_cli_reload_env`` confirms
RPC delegates and reports the count.
* New ``test_reload_env_rpc_surfaces_errors`` confirms exceptions are
rendered as JSON-RPC errors.
* ``createSlashHandler.test.ts`` slash-parity matrix extended with
``['/reload', 'reload.env', {}]`` so we can't regress the routing.
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — 92/92.
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py — 128/128.
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 390/390.
After PR #7885 (97b0cd51e) added content-side segment breaks for
natural mid-turn assistant messages, the tool-progress task in
gateway/run.py was not updated to match. progress_msg_id and
progress_lines persisted for the whole run, so after a tool batch
produced bubble B1 followed by content bubble C1, the next tool.started
kept editing the OLD bubble B1 above C1 — making the chat appear out
of order on Telegram, Discord, and Slack.
Add on_new_message callback to GatewayStreamConsumer, fired at the
four sites where a fresh content bubble lands on the platform:
- _send_or_edit first-send branch (NOT edits)
- _send_commentary
- _send_new_chunk (overflow split)
- each successful chunk of _send_fallback_final
Gateway supplies a lambda that enqueues ('__reset__',) into the
progress_queue. send_progress_messages() handles the marker in both
the main loop and the CancelledError drain path, clearing
progress_msg_id, progress_lines, and the dedup state so the next
tool.started opens a fresh bubble below the new content.
Result: each tool batch appears in chronological order below the
preceding content. When no content appears between tool batches,
tools still group in one bubble (CLI-style compactness).

init_session() runs a login shell bootstrap that sources profile scripts
(.bashrc, .bash_profile, etc.) before capturing pwd. If any profile
script changes the working directory, the captured cwd overwrites the
configured terminal.cwd value — so terminal commands run in the wrong
directory despite the TUI banner showing the configured path.
Add an explicit 'builtin cd' to the configured cwd in the bootstrap
script, after profile sourcing but before pwd capture, ensuring the
configured terminal.cwd is always what gets recorded.
Fixes#14044
* Reject unsupported schemes (anything outside http/https/ws/wss) in
cli.py /browser connect before probing or persisting, matching the
gateway's existing 4015 path.
* Defend gateway browser.manage against `{"url": null}` and
non-string urls: empty/null falls back to DEFAULT_BROWSER_CDP_URL,
non-string returns a 4015 instead of slipping into the generic
5031 catch via TypeError on `"://" in url`.
* Add regression tests for both null-url fallback and non-string
rejection.
* Gate `browser.progress` emit on truthy `session_id`. The TUI
prints `messages` from the response when there's no session, so
emitting events too would double-render. Now: with a session →
events stream live; without one → bundled messages only.
* Resolve `system = platform.system()` once in `_browser_connect`
and thread it through `try_launch_chrome_debug` and
`_failure_messages` → `manual_chrome_debug_command`, so the
generated hint is consistent (and tests are deterministic) on
any host.
* Add `test_browser_manage_connect_no_session_skips_progress_events`
to lock in the gating behavior.
Fixes from Copilot's two passes on PR #17238:
* Validate parsed URL once: reject missing host, invalid port, and
unsupported scheme up front so malformed inputs (e.g. http://:9222
or http://localhost:abc) don't fall through to a generic 5031.
* Tighten _is_default_local_cdp to require a discovery-style path so
ws://127.0.0.1:9222/devtools/browser/<id> is not collapsed to bare
http://127.0.0.1:9222 (which would lose the path and break the
connect).
* Move browser.manage into _LONG_HANDLERS so the up-to-10s
launch-and-retry loop runs on the RPC pool instead of blocking the
main dispatcher.
* try_launch_chrome_debug uses Windows-appropriate detach kwargs
(creationflags=DETACHED_PROCESS|CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP) instead
of POSIX-only start_new_session=True.
* manual_chrome_debug_command uses subprocess.list2cmdline on
Windows so the printed instruction is cmd.exe-compatible.
* Mirror host/port validation in cli.py /browser connect so the
classic CLI never persists an invalid BROWSER_CDP_URL.
Emit browser.progress JSON-RPC notifications during the connect work and render them in the TUI as system transcript lines, so users see the same step-by-step status the base CLI prints instead of nothing for ~1m followed by a final result.
Return CLI-style browser connect status messages from the gateway and render them in the TUI so local Chrome launch attempts are visible instead of ending in a silent delayed failure.
Detect an actual Chrome/Chromium executable before printing a manual CDP launch command, including common WSL-mounted Windows browser paths, so /browser connect does not suggest google-chrome when it is unavailable.
Share Chrome CDP launch helpers between the classic CLI and TUI so default /browser connect uses loopback consistently, retries local Chrome launch, and reports a copyable manual-start command instead of claiming a dead connection.
The background skill-review prompts (_SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT and the **Skills**
half of _COMBINED_REVIEW_PROMPT) steered the reviewer toward passive
behavior — most passes concluded 'Nothing to save.' even when the session
produced real lessons. User-preference corrections (style, format,
legibility, verbosity) were especially lost: they were read as memory
signals only, so skills never carried the fix.
This rewrite changes the stance:
- **Active-update bias.** The reviewer now treats inaction as a missed
learning opportunity. 'Nothing to save.' remains an explicit escape
but is no longer framed as the most-common outcome.
- **User-preference corrections are first-class skill signals.** Style,
tone, format, legibility, verbosity complaints — and the actual
phrasings users use ('stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'I hate
when you Y', 'remember this') — now warrant patching the skill that
governs the task, not just writing to memory.
- **Loaded-skill-first preference order.** When a skill was loaded via
/skill-name or skill_view during the session, the reviewer patches
THAT one first. It was in play; it's the right place.
- **Four-step ladder: patch-loaded → patch-umbrella → support-file →
create.** Support files are explicitly enumerated as three kinds:
* references/<topic>.md — session-specific detail OR condensed
knowledge banks (quoted research, API docs excerpts, domain notes)
* templates/<name>.<ext> — starter files to copy and modify
* scripts/<name>.<ext> — statically re-runnable actions
- **Name-veto for CREATE.** New skill names MUST be class-level — no PR
numbers, error strings, codenames, library-alone names, or session
artifacts ('fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today'). If the proposed name
only fits today's task, fall back to one of the patch/support-file
options.
- **Memory scope clarified.** 'who the user is and what the current
situation and state of your operations are' — MEMORY.md is
situational/state, USER.md is identity/preferences.
- **Curator handoff.** Reviewer flags overlap; the background curator
handles consolidation at scale. Single-session reviewer doesn't
attempt umbrella-rebalancing.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_review_prompt_class_first.py upgraded to
assert the new behavioral contracts (active bias, user-correction
signals, loaded-skill-first, support-file kinds, name-veto, memory
framing, curator handoff). 17 tests, all pass.

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

* fix(tui): honor documented mouse_tracking config key
The TUI runtime was reading display.tui_mouse while docs and user-facing
examples pointed users at display.mouse_tracking. That made persistent
mouse-disable config look like a no-op for users trying to restore native
terminal selection/copy behavior on Linux/SSH/tmux terminals.
Use display.mouse_tracking as the canonical key, keep display.tui_mouse as
a legacy fallback, and have /mouse write the documented key. Both gateway
config.get and client-side config sync now share the same precedence: the
canonical key wins, then the legacy key, then default on.
* review(copilot): align mouse tracking config coercion
- Load gateway config once before deriving display.mouse_tracking state.
- Use key-presence precedence on the TUI client too, so canonical
mouse_tracking wins over legacy tui_mouse even when the value is null.
- Treat numeric 0 as disabled on both gateway and client, matching the
existing string "0" handling.
- Widen ConfigDisplayConfig mouse fields because config.get full returns raw
YAML, not normalized booleans.
This PR groups the TUI fixes that restore macOS Terminal usability and clean up the theme/composer regressions:
- copy transcript selections on macOS drag-release so Terminal.app users can copy while mouse tracking is enabled
- copy composer selections on macOS drag-release; composer selection is internal to TextInput and does not use the global Ink selection bus
- keep IDE Cmd+C forwarding setup macOS-only, and make keybinding conflict checks respect simple when-clause overlap/negation
- force truecolor before chalk initializes (unless NO_COLOR / FORCE_COLOR / HERMES_TUI_TRUECOLOR opt-outs apply) so the default banner keeps its gold/amber/bronze gradient in Terminal.app
- move TUI surfaces onto semantic theme tokens and preserve skin prompt symbols as bare tokens with renderer-owned spacing
- render focused placeholders as dim hint text in TTY mode instead of inverse/selected-looking synthetic cursor text
* feat(tui): pluggable busy-indicator styles (kaomoji/emoji/unicode/ascii)
The status-bar `FaceTicker` rotated through wide-and-variable kaomoji
glyphs (`(｡•́︿•̀｡)`, `( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)`, …) every 2.5s. Real display widths range
from ~5 to ~16 columns, so the rest of the bar (cwd, ctx %, voice,
bg counter) shifted on every cycle. Padding the verb alone (#17116)
helped but didn't address the dominant jitter source — the glyph
itself.
Add four indicator styles, configurable + hot-swappable:
* `kaomoji` (default — preserves the existing vibe; verb is now
pad-stable so the only width churn left is the kaomoji itself).
* `emoji` — single 2-col emoji frame (`⚕ 🌀🤔✨🍵🔮`).
* `unicode` — `unicode-animations` braille spinner (1-col, smooth).
* `ascii` — `| / - \` (1-col, max compat).
Wires:
* `display.tui_status_indicator` in `DEFAULT_CONFIG` (default
`kaomoji`).
* New JSON-RPC `config.set/get indicator` keys, narrow allow-list.
* `applyDisplay` reads the field and patches `UiState.indicatorStyle`,
so the existing `mtime` poll picks up `~/.hermes/config.yaml` edits
within ~5s without a TUI restart.
* `/indicator [style]` slash command (alias `/indicator-style`,
subcommand completion `kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii`). Bare form
shows the current style; setter fires `config.set` and
optimistically `patchUiState({ indicatorStyle })` so the live TUI
swaps immediately, matching the `/skin` UX.
* `CommandDef("indicator", ..., subcommands=...)` so classic CLI
autocomplete + TUI `complete.slash` both surface it.
* `FaceTicker` decouples spinner cadence from verb cadence — the
glyph runs at the spinner's authored interval (or `FACE_TICK_MS`
for kaomoji), the verb stays on the original 2.5s cycle, and both
re-arm cleanly when style changes.
Tests:
* `normalizeIndicatorStyle` rejects unknown / non-string input.
* `applyDisplay → tui_status_indicator` covers fan-out + fallback.
* `/indicator <style>` hot-swaps `UiState.indicatorStyle` after a
successful `config.set`.
* `/indicator sparkle` rejects with the usage hint and never hits
the gateway.
* Slash-parity matrix gets `'/indicator'` → `config.get`.
Validation:
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 398/398.
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py — 220/220.
* chore(tui): drop /indicator-style alias to declutter autocomplete
* fix(tui): drop verb-width pad — /indicator handles glyph jitter directly
* fix(tui): unicode indicator style hides the verb (cleanest option)
* refactor(tui): single source of truth for INDICATOR_STYLES; cleaner error format
Round 1 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- Exported `INDICATOR_STYLES` const tuple from `interfaces.ts`;
`IndicatorStyle` union type is derived from it. `useConfigSync`
builds its validation Set from the tuple, and `session.ts` uses it
for both the usage hint and the runtime allow-list — adding/removing
a style now touches one line.
- Backend `config.set indicator` error message: switched
`sorted(allowed)` list repr to `pick one of ascii|emoji|kaomoji|unicode`
(matches the TUI usage hint), and reports the normalized `raw`
instead of the original `value`. Backend allowed tuple now has a
comment pointing back at `INDICATOR_STYLES` so the two stay aligned.
Note: kept the verb portion unpadded per design intent — fixed-width
padding was the exact UX the `/indicator` command was added to remove.
Stable width comes from the glyph; verbs cycling is part of the kawaii
aesthetic. Reply on the verb thread will explain.
* fix(tui): drop type collapse + gate verb timer + DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- `tui_status_indicator?: 'ascii' | ... | string` collapses to `string`
in TS — consumers got no narrowing. Documented as plain `string` with
a comment about runtime validation via `normalizeIndicatorStyle`.
- `FaceTicker` always started a 2.5s verb interval, even for the
`unicode` style which hides the verb entirely. Now gated on
`showVerb` from `renderIndicator` — `unicode` stays calm.
Pre-emptive self-review (avoid round 3):
- Three call sites duplicated the literal `'kaomoji'` default
(uiStore, normalizeIndicatorStyle, slash command). Added
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` to interfaces.ts and threaded it through
so changing the default touches one line.
* fix(tui-gateway): normalize config.get indicator output to match TUI render
Round 4 Copilot review on PR #17150: `config.get` for `indicator`
returned the raw `display.tui_status_indicator` value without
validation, so a hand-edited config.yaml with stray casing or an
unknown style would leave `/indicator` printing one thing while
the TUI rendered the kaomoji default (frontend's
`normalizeIndicatorStyle` does this normalization on receive).
Lifted the allow-list to module scope as `_INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`_INDICATOR_DEFAULT`, reused by both `config.set` and `config.get`.
Comment notes the alignment with `INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` in interfaces.ts so adding/removing a
style is a one-line change on each end.
Tests cover: known value verbatim, casing/whitespace normalize,
unknown→default, unset→default.
* fix(tui-gateway): preserve falsy-input diagnostics in config.set indicator error
Round 5 Copilot review on PR #17150: `raw = str(value or "").strip().lower()`
collapsed any falsy non-string (`0`, `False`, `[]`) to empty string,
so the error message read `unknown indicator: ` with nothing after —
losing the original input.
Switched to `("" if value is None else str(value)).strip().lower()`
so only `None` (the genuine 'no value' case) becomes blank. Used
`{raw!r}` in the error so the diagnostic is unambiguous (`'0'` vs `0`).
Tests:
- known-value happy path (`'EMOJI'` → `'emoji'`)

* fix(tui-gateway): harden stdio transport against half-closed pipes + SIGTERM races
`tui_gateway` reports `tui_gateway_crash.log` traces where the main
thread sits in `sys.stdin` while a worker holds `_stdout_lock` mid-
flush, and SIGTERM then calls `sys.exit(0)` while the lock is still
held — the interpreter shutdown stalls behind the wedged write.
Two narrowly scoped hardenings:
**`tui_gateway/transport.py`**
* Move JSON serialisation outside the lock — long messages no longer
block sibling writers while we serialise.
* Treat `BrokenPipeError`, `ValueError` ("I/O on closed file") and
generic `OSError` from both `write` and `flush` as "peer is gone":
return `False` instead of bubbling, matching what `write_json`'s
callers in `entry.py` already expect.
* Split `flush` into its own try block so a stuck flush never strands
a partial write or holds the lock indefinitely on its way out.
* Optional `HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_NO_FLUSH=1` env knob to skip explicit
`flush()` entirely on environments where a half-closed read pipe
produces an indefinite kernel-level block. Default unchanged.
**`tui_gateway/entry.py`**
* `_log_signal` now spawns a 1-second daemon timer that calls
`os._exit(0)` if the orderly `sys.exit(0)` path is itself stuck
behind a wedged worker. Atexit handlers run inside the grace
window when they can; the timer is the safety net so a deadlocked
flush no longer strands the gateway process.
Tests:
* `test_write_json_closed_stream_returns_false` — ValueError path.
* `test_write_json_oserror_on_flush_returns_false` — OSError on flush
must not strand the lock; the write portion still landed before the
flush failure.
* `test_write_json_no_flush_env_skips_flush` — env knob bypass.
Validation: `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py`
(42/42 pass; one pre-existing failure on
`test_session_resume_returns_hydrated_messages` is unrelated to this
change — same `include_ancestors` mock kwarg issue tracked elsewhere).
`scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py` 90/90 pass.
* review(copilot): tighten transport hardening comments + test cleanup
* review(copilot): narrow exception capture, configurable grace, simpler no-flush test
* fix(tui-gateway): narrow ValueError to closed-stream; surface UnicodeEncodeError
Copilot review on PR #17118: `UnicodeEncodeError` is a ValueError
subclass, so a non-UTF-8 stdout (mismatched PYTHONIOENCODING / locale)
would have been silently swallowed as 'peer gone' under
`except ValueError`. That hides a real environment bug.
Now:
- UnicodeEncodeError → log with exc_info (warning) and drop the frame
- ValueError where str(e) contains 'closed file' → peer gone, return False
- Any other ValueError → log loudly, drop frame (defensive, but visible)
Same shape applied to flush. Adds two regression tests.
* fix(tui-gateway): reserve write() False for peer-gone; re-raise programming errors
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17118: `Transport.write()` returning
`False` is documented as 'peer is gone', and `entry.py` reacts by
calling `sys.exit(0)`. But the implementation also returned False
for non-IO conditions (non-JSON-safe payloads, UnicodeEncodeError,
unrelated ValueErrors), so a programming error or local env bug would
present as a clean disconnect — exactly the diagnosis pain we wanted
to eliminate.
Now:
- `json.dumps` failure → re-raises (TypeError/ValueError surfaces in crash log)
- `BrokenPipeError` → False (peer gone)
- `ValueError('...closed file...')` → False (peer gone)
- `UnicodeEncodeError` and any other ValueError → re-raise
- `OSError` → False (existing IO-failure semantics, debug-logged)
Tests updated to assert the re-raise behaviour and added a
non-serializable-payload regression test.
* fix(tui-gateway): narrow OSError to peer-gone errnos; honest test naming
Round 3 Copilot review on PR #17118:
- Docstring claimed False = peer gone, but generic OSError on write/flush
also returned False — meaning ENOSPC/EACCES/EIO would silently exit.
Added `_PEER_GONE_ERRNOS = {EPIPE, ECONNRESET, EBADF, ESHUTDOWN, +WSA}`
and narrowed the OSError handlers; non-peer-gone errnos re-raise.
Docstring now lists OSError as peer-gone branch with the errno set.
- The `_DISABLE_FLUSH` test was named after the env var but actually
patched the module constant. Renamed it to reflect the contract being
tested (skips flush when constant is true) AND added a real
end-to-end test that sets the env var, reloads transport.py, and
asserts the constant flips. Cleanup reload restores defaults so
parallel tests stay isolated.
Self-review (avoid round 4):
- Verified TeeTransport's secondary-swallow stays intentional.
- _log_signal grace path already covered by separate tests.
* fix(tui): make /browser connect actually take effect on the live agent
Reports were that `/browser connect <url>` (and "changes to CDP url
don't get picked up") didn't propagate to the live agent in `--tui`,
forcing users to fall back to setting `browser.cdp_url` in
`config.yaml` and restarting. Tracing the path on current main shows
the protocol wiring is already correct — `/browser` is registered in
`ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/ops.ts` and dispatches `browser.manage`
through the gateway RPC, NOT the slash worker (covered by the
`browser.manage` row in `slashParity.test.ts`). But three real gaps
left the experience flaky:
1. `cleanup_all_browsers()` ran AFTER `os.environ["BROWSER_CDP_URL"]`
was rewritten. `_ensure_cdp_supervisor(...)` reads the env to
resolve its target URL, so a tool call landing in that brief window
could re-attach the supervisor to the OLD CDP endpoint just before
we reaped sessions, leaving the agent talking to a dead URL.
Reorder to clean first, swap env, clean again so the supervisor
for the default task is definitively closed.
2. `browser.manage status` reported only the env var, ignoring
`browser.cdp_url` from config.yaml. `_get_cdp_override()` (the
resolver the agent itself uses) consults both — match it so
`/browser status` answers the same question the next
`browser_navigate` will see. Closes a stealth bug where users
saw "browser not connected" while their CDP URL was perfectly
set in config.yaml.
3. `/browser disconnect` only cleared `BROWSER_CDP_URL` and reaped
once, leaving the same swap window as connect. Symmetrical
double-cleanup here too.
Frontend (`ops.ts`):
* Echo "next browser tool call will use this CDP endpoint" on success
so users see immediate confirmation that the gateway accepted the
swap, even before any tool runs.
* Mention `browser.cdp_url` in `config.yaml` in the usage hint and
the not-connected status line. Persistent config is the correct
fix for some terminal-multiplexer / sub-agent flows where env
inheritance is unreliable; surfacing it makes that workaround
discoverable.
Tests (4 new, all hermetic):
* `status` returns the resolved URL when only `browser.cdp_url` is
set in config.yaml.
* `connect` writes env AND cleans before/after, in that order.
* `connect` against an unreachable endpoint does NOT mutate env or
reap.
* `disconnect` removes env and cleans twice.
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — 94/94 pass.
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 389/389.
* review(copilot): always defer to _get_cdp_override; normalize bare host:port
* review(copilot): collapse discovery-style CDP paths so /json/version isn't duplicated
* fix(tui): /browser status must not perform CDP discovery I/O
Copilot review on PR #17120: previous version routed through
`tools.browser_tool._get_cdp_override`, which calls
`_resolve_cdp_override` and performs an HTTP probe to /json/version
with a multi-second timeout for discovery-style URLs. That blocks
the TUI on `/browser status` whenever the configured host is slow
or unreachable.
Status now reads env-then-config directly with no network I/O. The
WS normalization still happens in `browser_navigate` for actual
tool calls, so behaviour-on-call is unchanged.
* fix(tui): skip /json/version probe for concrete ws://devtools/browser endpoints
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17120: hosted CDP providers (Browserbase,
browserless, etc.) return concrete `ws[s]://.../devtools/browser/<id>`
URLs which are already directly connectable but don't serve the HTTP
discovery path. The previous `/json/version` probe rejected these
valid endpoints with 'could not reach browser CDP'.
For `ws[s]://...` URLs whose path starts with `/devtools/browser/` we
now do a TCP-level reachability check (`socket.create_connection`)
instead of the HTTP probe. The actual CDP handshake happens on the
next `browser_navigate` call, so we still surface unreachable hosts
as 5031 errors — just without the false negatives.
Discovery-style URLs (`http://host:port[/json[/version]]`) keep the
HTTP probe path unchanged. Updated existing test + added two new
ones (TCP-only success, TCP unreachable → 5031).
* feat(tui): opt-in auto-resume of the most recent session
`hermes --tui` always forges a fresh session at startup unless the user
sets `HERMES_TUI_RESUME=<id>`. Disconnects, terminal-window crashes,
and accidental Ctrl+D therefore lose every piece of in-flight context
even though `state.db` still has the full history a `/resume` away.
Add an opt-in path that mirrors classic CLI's `hermes -c` muscle
memory: when `display.tui_auto_resume_recent: true` is set in
`~/.hermes/config.yaml`, the TUI looks up the most recent human-facing
session and resumes it instead of starting fresh. Default off so
existing users aren't surprised; explicit `HERMES_TUI_RESUME` always
wins.
Wires:
* New `session.most_recent` JSON-RPC in `tui_gateway/server.py` that
returns the first non-`tool` row from `list_sessions_rich`, or
`{"session_id": null}` when none. Uses the same deny-list as
`session.list` so sub-agent rows can't sneak in.
* `createGatewayEventHandler.handleReady` re-ordered: explicit
`STARTUP_RESUME_ID` first (unchanged), then conditional auto-resume
via `config.get full → display.tui_auto_resume_recent`, then the
legacy `newSession()` fallback. Failures of either RPC fall back
to `newSession()` so the path is always finite.
* Default `display.tui_auto_resume_recent: False` added to
`DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py` (no `_config_version`
bump per AGENTS.md — deep-merge handles the additive key).
Tests:
* 4 new vitest cases in `createGatewayEventHandler.test.ts` cover
every gate-and-fallback combination (env wins, config off, config
on with hit, config on with miss).
* 3 new pytest cases for `session.most_recent` (denied row skip,
tool-only → null, db-unavailable → null).
Validation:
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py — 93/93.
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 393/393.
* review(copilot): fold session.most_recent errors into null + extend ConfigDisplayConfig
* review(copilot): cover RPC-rejection fallbacks in auto-resume tests

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Follow-up to PR #16802 (BeliefanX). The original fix read
`agent_history[-1].get("timestamp")` for the tool-tail freshness gate,
but `gateway/run.py` strips the `timestamp` field off all tool/tool_call
rows when building `agent_history` from the raw transcript (see
`clean_msg = {k: v for k, v in msg.items() if k != "timestamp"}`). At
runtime the tool-tail branch always saw `None` and silently took the
legacy-fresh path — the stale-guard never fired for the tool-tail case
it was supposed to cover.
Changes:
- Read the freshness signal from the RAW `history` list (via new
`_last_transcript_timestamp()` helper) BEFORE the strip. Both the
resume_pending branch and the tool-tail branch use this single signal,
replacing the two divergent ones.
- Default window bumped 15 min → 1 hour via new
`_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS_SECS_DEFAULT`. The 15-minute default was
shorter than the default `gateway_timeout` of 30 min, so a legitimate
long-running turn interrupted near its timeout boundary and resumed
shortly after would have been misclassified as stale.
- Configurable via `config.yaml` `agent.gateway_auto_continue_freshness`
(bridged to `HERMES_AUTO_CONTINUE_FRESHNESS` at gateway startup — same
pattern as `gateway_timeout`). Set to 0 to disable the gate.
- `_coerce_gateway_timestamp` now explicitly rejects bool (which is a
subclass of int and would otherwise coerce to 0.0/1.0).
- Tests rewritten to exercise the real production data shape: raw
`history` → `_build_agent_history` strip → freshness decision. A
regression guard (`test_stale_tool_tail_with_production_data_shape`)
asserts `agent_history` tool rows carry NO timestamp, protecting
against someone "fixing" the original bug by re-adding the stripped
field (which would break the OpenAI tool-result message contract).
Add BeliefanX to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
E2E verified: config.yaml → env var bridge → helper returns configured
value; default 1h window; malformed/empty env var falls back to default;

Extract the islink/realpath guard from the 16743 fix into a single
atomic_replace() helper in utils.py, then migrate every os.replace()
call site in the codebase to use it.
The original PR #16777 correctly identified and fixed the bug, but
only patched 9 of ~24 call sites. The same bug class (managed
deployments that symlink state files silently losing the link on
every write) still existed at auth.json, sessions file, gateway
config, env_loader, webhook subscriptions, debug store, model
catalog, pairing, google OAuth, nous rate guard, and more.
Rather than add another 10+ copies of the same three-line guard,
consolidate into atomic_replace(tmp, target) which:
- resolves symlinks via os.path.realpath before os.replace
- returns the resolved real path so callers can re-apply permissions
- is a drop-in replacement for os.replace at the use sites
Changes:
- utils.py: new atomic_replace() helper + atomic_json_write /
atomic_yaml_write now call it instead of inlining the guard
- 16 files: all os.replace() call sites migrated to atomic_replace()
- agent/{google_oauth, nous_rate_guard, shell_hooks}.py
- cron/jobs.py
- gateway/{pairing, session, platforms/telegram}.py
- hermes_cli/{auth, config, debug, env_loader, model_catalog, webhook}.py
- tools/{memory_tool, skill_manager_tool, skills_sync}.py
Tests: tests/test_atomic_replace_symlinks.py pins the invariant for
atomic_replace + atomic_json_write + atomic_yaml_write, covers plain
files, first-time creates, broken symlinks, and permission preservation.
Refs #16743
Builds on #16777 by @vominh1919.
Real OpenClaw configs key agents.defaults.models by full provider/model
API ID with an 'alias' field on the value (e.g.
{'anthropic/claude-opus-4-6': {'alias': 'Claude Opus 4.6'}}). Add
regression tests for issue #16745 covering:
- reverse-lookup of alias against real schema (keyed by API ID)
- alias resolution when model is a bare string vs {'primary': ...}
- passthrough when the value is already a provider/model API ID
- passthrough when the alias has no catalog match
- string-valued catalog entries (belt-and-suspenders)
- no catalog at all
25 new tests (all Bedrock API calls mocked, no real AWS creds needed):
tests/hermes_cli/test_bedrock_model_picker.py (20 tests):
- provider_model_ids("bedrock") uses live discovery, returns regional
model IDs, falls back gracefully on empty/exception, resolves all
bedrock aliases (aws, aws-bedrock, amazon-bedrock) to live discovery
- list_authenticated_providers() section 2: bedrock appears with AWS
creds, model list from discover_bedrock_models(), total_models
matches, is_current flag works, absent creds hides bedrock, discovery
failure does not crash, no duplicate entries
- Region routing: botocore profile eu-central-1 yields eu.* model IDs
end-to-end; env var takes priority over botocore profile
- providers.py overlay: exists with correct transport/auth_type, label
is non-empty, all aliases normalize to bedrock
tests/agent/test_bedrock_adapter.py (5 tests):
- resolve_bedrock_region() botocore profile fallback, botocore failure
fallback, us-east-1 hard fallback (with botocore mocked)
* fix(anthropic): remove Claude Code fingerprinting from OAuth Messages API path
OAuth requests now identify as Hermes on the wire. Removed:
- "You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude." system
prompt prepend
- Hermes Agent → Claude Code / Nous Research → Anthropic
system-prompt substitutions
- mcp_ tool-name prefix on outgoing tool schemas + message history
- Matching mcp_ strip on inbound tool_use blocks (strip_tool_prefix path
removed from AnthropicTransport.normalize_response, + all 5 call
sites in run_agent.py and auxiliary_client.py)
- user-agent: claude-cli/<v> (external, cli) and x-app: cli headers on
the Messages API client
Added:
- OAuth path strips context-1m-2025-08-07 — Anthropic rejects OAuth
requests carrying it with HTTP 400 'This authentication style is
incompatible with the long context beta header.'
Kept (auth plumbing, not identity spoofing):
- _is_oauth_token classifier and is_oauth flag threading
- Bearer vs x-api-key auth routing
- _OAUTH_ONLY_BETAS (claude-code-20250219, oauth-2025-04-20) — backend
requires these on the OAuth-gated Messages endpoint
- _OAUTH_CLIENT_ID (Claude Code's) — Anthropic doesn't issue OAuth
creds to third parties; this is the only way the login flow works
- claude-cli/<v> User-Agent on the OAuth token exchange + refresh
endpoints at platform.claude.com/v1/oauth/token — bare requests get
Cloudflare 1010 blocked
Verified live against api.anthropic.com with a fresh sk-ant-oat01-*
token:
- claude-haiku-4-5 simple message: HTTP 200, 'OK' response
- claude-haiku-4-5 tool call: HTTP 200, stop_reason=tool_use, tool
named 'terminal' (no mcp_ prefix) round-tripped correctly
- Outgoing wire: no user-agent, no x-app, real Hermes identity in
system prompt, real tool name in schema
Closes/supersedes #16820 (mcp_ PascalCase normalization patch — no longer
needed since the mcp_ round-trip is gone).
* fix(anthropic): resolve_anthropic_token() reads credential pool first
Close the gap where ~/.hermes/auth.json → credential_pool.anthropic
(where hermes login + dashboard PKCE flow write OAuth tokens) was not
in resolve_anthropic_token()'s source list.
Before: users who authed via hermes login got the token written into
the pool, but legacy fallback code paths (auxiliary_client, models
catalog fetch, explicit-runtime path) that call resolve_anthropic_token()
saw None and raised 'No Anthropic credentials found' — even though the
token was sitting in auth.json.
New priority 1: pool.select() with env-sourced entries skipped. Skipping
env:* entries preserves the existing env-var priority logic further
down the chain (static env OAuth → refreshable Claude Code upgrade via
_prefer_refreshable_claude_code_token).
Surfaced while writing the hermes-agent-dev skill playbook for
'finding a live OAuth token for an E2E test'.

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

Registers tencent-tokenhub (https://tokenhub.tencentmaas.com/v1) as a
new API-key provider with model tencent/hy3-preview (256K context).
- PROVIDER_REGISTRY entry + TOKENHUB_API_KEY / TOKENHUB_BASE_URL env vars
- Aliases: tencent, tokenhub, tencent-cloud, tencentmaas
- openai_chat transport with is_tokenhub branch for top-level
reasoning_effort (Hy3 is a reasoning model)
- tencent/hy3-preview:free added to OpenRouter curated list
- 60+ tests (provider registry, aliases, runtime resolution,
credentials, model catalog, URL mapping, context length)
- Docs: integrations/providers.md, environment-variables.md,
model-catalog.json
Author: simonweng <simonweng@tencent.com>
Salvaged from PR #16860 onto current main (resolved conflicts with
#16935 Azure Anthropic env-var hint tests and the --provider choices=
list removal in chat_parser).
Three related fixes around custom env-var-name hints for provider entries.
1. Azure Anthropic path: previously hardcoded to look up AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY
then ANTHROPIC_API_KEY with no way to override. If a user wrote
model:
provider: anthropic
base_url: https://my-resource.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic
key_env: MY_CUSTOM_KEY
the key_env hint was silently ignored and the resolver raised
'No Azure Anthropic API key found' even when MY_CUSTOM_KEY was set
in the environment. The runtime now checks, in order:
(1) os.getenv(model_cfg.key_env)
(2) os.getenv(model_cfg.api_key_env) # docs alias
(3) model_cfg.api_key # inline value
(4) AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY # historical default
(5) ANTHROPIC_API_KEY # historical default
Error message updated to mention key_env as an option.
2. Provider entry normalizer (_normalize_custom_provider_entry): accept
'api_key_env' as a snake_case alias for 'key_env', and 'apiKeyEnv' as a
camelCase alias. Adds both to the _KNOWN_KEYS set so the 'unknown
config keys ignored' warning doesn't fire on valid configs.
3. _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS: add 'key_env'. That set documents
supported custom_providers entry fields; it was drifting from reality
since key_env has been read at runtime in auxiliary_client.py,
runtime_provider.py, and main.py for a while.
Docs: website/docs/guides/azure-foundry.md now uses the canonical key_env
field and notes that api_key_env / keyEnv / apiKeyEnv are accepted as
aliases.
Validation: 12 new tests in test_runtime_provider_resolution.py covering
all 5 Azure Anthropic resolution paths + 4 normalizer-alias tests. Pass
rate across related suites (165 + 46 tests): 100%.

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

Follow-up to #15328's vision-unsupported retry branch in run_agent.py.
_strip_images_from_messages() previously deleted any message whose content
was entirely images. That's fine for synthetic user messages injected for
attachment delivery, but it breaks providers for tool-role messages — the
paired tool_call_id on the preceding assistant message ends up unmatched,
which OpenAI-compatible APIs reject with HTTP 400.
Fix: tool-role messages whose content becomes empty are replaced with a
plaintext placeholder that preserves the tool_call_id linkage. Only
non-tool messages are dropped. Added 10 tests covering the role-alternation
invariants + image-type coverage.
Image-rejection detector: expanded phrase list (image content not
supported / multimodal input / vision input / model does not support
image) and gated on 4xx status so transient 5xx errors never get
misinterpreted as 'server said no to images'. Detection is documented as
best-effort English phrase matching.
AUTHOR_MAP: mapped 3820588+ddupont808@users.noreply.github.com to
ddupont808 so release notes attribute the salvage correctly.
Background macOS desktop control via cua-driver MCP — does NOT steal the
user's cursor or keyboard focus, works with any tool-capable model.
Replaces the Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach from the
abandoned #4562 with a generic OpenAI function-calling schema plus SOM
(set-of-mark) captures so Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models can all
drive the desktop via numbered element indices.
- `tools/computer_use/` package — swappable ComputerUseBackend ABC +
CuaDriverBackend (stdio MCP client to trycua/cua's cua-driver binary).
- Universal `computer_use` tool with one schema for all providers.
Actions: capture (som/vision/ax), click, double_click, right_click,
middle_click, drag, scroll, type, key, wait, list_apps, focus_app.
- Multimodal tool-result envelope (`_multimodal=True`, OpenAI-style
`content: [text, image_url]` parts) that flows through
handle_function_call into the tool message. Anthropic adapter converts
into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers
get the parts list directly.
- Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most
recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text
placeholders to cap per-turn token cost.
- Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have
their image parts stripped instead of being skipped.
- Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens
instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as
~250K tokens before).
- COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset
is active.
- Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages.
- Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only.
- `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script
and prints permission-grant instructions.
- CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go
through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands.
- Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns
(curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash,
force delete, lock screen, log out).
- Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic)
workflow guide.
- Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog
entries.
44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema
shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety
guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot
eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation,
run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees.
469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected
agent/ test suites.
- `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every
provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see
text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`).
- Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred;
client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling
without a beta header.
- macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs
(SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo,
_AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS
update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION.
- Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup
prints the Settings path.
Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic-
native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose
context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form.
Opt-in Langfuse tracing for Hermes conversations — LLM calls, tool
usage, usage/cost breakdown per span. Hooks into pre/post_api_request,
pre/post_llm_call, pre/post_tool_call. SDK is optional; missing SDK or
credentials renders the plugin inert.
Salvaged from PR #16845 by @kshitijk4poor, who wrote the plugin
(~875 LOC, 6 hooks, Langfuse usage-details/cost-details normalization,
read_file payload summarization).
Salvage scope (why this isn't PR #16845 as-authored):
- Lives at plugins/observability/langfuse/ (standalone kind, opt-in via
plugins.enabled) instead of a new parallel optional-plugins/
directory. Standalone bundled plugins are already opt-in — only their
plugin.yaml is scanned at startup; the Python module is not imported
unless the user enables it. The premise of optional-plugins/ (avoid
import cost for users who don't want it) is already solved by the
existing plugin system.
- Dropped the triple activation gate (plugins.enabled +
plugins.langfuse.enabled + HERMES_LANGFUSE_ENABLED). The Hermes plugin
system's own enable/disable is authoritative; runtime credentials
gate whether the hook actually traces.
- Rewrote _is_enabled() → cached _get_langfuse() with an _INIT_FAILED
sentinel. The original called hermes_cli.config.load_config() from
every hook invocation (full yaml parse + deep merge + env expansion
on every pre/post_tool_call, potentially 100+ times per turn). The
cached version reads env once and returns the cached client or None
on every subsequent call with zero further work.
- hermes tools → Langfuse Observability post-setup adds
observability/langfuse to plugins.enabled directly (via
_save_enabled_set) instead of going through an install-copy flow.
Enable:
hermes tools # interactive
hermes plugins enable observability/langfuse # manual
Required env (set by `hermes tools` or in ~/.hermes/.env):
HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_BASE_URL # optional

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

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

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

* fix(web): scope dashboard config Reset button to the current tab
Reported by @ykmfb001 via X: clicking 'Restore Defaults' (恢复默认值) on
the Auxiliary page wiped the entire config.yaml to defaults, not just
the auxiliary section. The button sits next to the category tabs and
users reasonably assumed 'reset this tab', not 'reset everything'.
Changes:
- handleReset now scopes to the fields in the current view:
active category's fields (form mode) or search-matched fields
(search mode). Only those keys are copied from defaults; the rest
of the config is left alone.
- Added a window.confirm() with the scope name before applying.
- Button is hidden in YAML mode (scoping doesn't apply there).
- Tooltip/aria-label now name the scope, e.g. 'Reset Auxiliary to
defaults'.
- i18n: new resetScopeTooltip / confirmResetScope / resetScopeToast
strings in en + zh; resetDefaults key preserved for compat.
On AWS Bedrock (and Azure AI Foundry), Claude Opus 4.6/4.7 and Sonnet 4.6
are capped at 200K context unless the request carries the
`context-1m-2025-08-07` beta header. On native Anthropic (api.anthropic.com)
1M went GA so the header is a harmless no-op, but Bedrock/Azure still gate
it as beta as of 2026-04.
Hermes was advertising 1M in model_metadata.py (`claude-opus-4-7: 1000000`)
while silently sending a request without the beta — so Bedrock users saw
a 200K ceiling with no error message, and no config knob unblocked it.
Claude Code sends this header by default, which is why the same Bedrock
credentials worked there.
- Add `context-1m-2025-08-07` to `_COMMON_BETAS` (alongside interleaved
thinking and fine-grained tool streaming).
- Strip it in `_common_betas_for_base_url` for MiniMax bearer-auth
endpoints — they host their own models, not Claude, so Anthropic beta
headers are irrelevant and could risk rejection.
- Attach `_COMMON_BETAS` as `default_headers` on the AnthropicBedrock
client. Previously that constructor passed no betas at all, so native
Anthropic had the 1M unlock via default_headers but Bedrock didn't.
- Fast-mode per-request `extra_headers` already rebuilds from
`_common_betas_for_base_url`, so it picks up the 1M beta automatically.
Reported by user 'Rodmar' on Discord: Bedrock Opus 4.7 stuck at 200K while
same credentials worked in Claude Code.
Anyone who ran hermes between Apr 15 (42aeb4ec) and Apr 22 (a7d78d3b)
has schema_version=7 from the pre-renumber api_call_count migration.
When a7d78d3b inserted reasoning_content as the new v7 and pushed
api_call_count to v8, the 'if current_version < 7' gate was already
false for those users, so reasoning_content was never created —
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such column: reasoning_content on any
/continue or /resume touching assistant replays.
Replaces the version-gated ADD COLUMN chain with _reconcile_columns():
on every startup, parse SCHEMA_SQL via an in-memory SQLite and diff
against PRAGMA table_info; ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN for anything missing.
Follows the Beets / sqlite-utils pattern — SCHEMA_SQL becomes the single
source of truth for declared columns. Self-healing and idempotent.
v10 trigram FTS backfill is retained in a version-gated block — that
migration isn't a column add, it inserts existing message rows into
the new FTS virtual table, so reconciliation can't express it.
schema_version is also kept for future row-data migrations.
Salvaged from #14097 (@kshitijk4poor) onto current main; v10 trigram
preservation and the v9 codex_message_items column (stale-missed by
the original branch) are covered automatically by reconciliation.
Tests:
- Regression: DB at old v7 with api_call_count but no reasoning_content
gets the column on open
- Idempotency: reopening the same DB is a no-op
- Structural invariant: every SCHEMA_SQL column is in the live DB
- Existing v2 migration test still passes
- E2E verified against fresh / v1 / old-v7 / v9 DBs, plus v10 trigram
backfill preserved
Plugins can now observe dangerous-command approval events in real time,
on both the CLI-interactive path and the async gateway path. This is the
missing hook surface external tools need to build approval notifiers
(macOS menu-bar allow/deny, Slack alerts, audit logs, etc.) without
forking Hermes or running a parallel gateway adapter.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add two entries to VALID_HOOKS
- tools/approval.py: fire both hooks from check_all_command_guards --
around prompt_dangerous_approval (CLI surface) and around the
notify_cb + blocking event.wait loop (gateway surface)
- website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md: document both hooks with
a macOS-notification example
- tests/tools/test_approval_plugin_hooks.py: 5 tests covering CLI once,
CLI deny, plugin-crash resilience, gateway approve, gateway timeout
Hooks are observer-only: return values are ignored, so plugins cannot
veto or pre-answer an approval (use pre_tool_call for that). A crashing
plugin cannot break the approval flow -- invoke_hook swallows per-
callback errors, and the wrapper logs and swallows dispatch-layer
errors too.
Surface kwarg distinguishes "cli" from "gateway"; post hook reports
choice as one of once/session/always/deny/timeout.
A misconfigured auxiliary.compression.model is a user-fixable problem that silent recovery would hide. The previous retry-on-main logic transparently swallowed aux-model failures whenever the fallback succeeded, leaving the user's broken config in place and racking up future failures.
Track the aux-model failure on the compressor alongside the existing fallback-placeholder fields:
- _last_aux_model_failure_model: str | None
- _last_aux_model_failure_error: str | None
Both are set at the moment the aux model errors (captured before summary_model is cleared for retry), regardless of whether the retry succeeds. Cleared at compress() start and on on_session_reset() so a clean run doesn't leak stale warnings.
Surface at three places:
- gateway hygiene auto-compress: ℹ note to the platform adapter (thread_id preserved)
- gateway /compress command: ℹ line appended to the reply
- CLI via _emit_warning: deduped on (model, error) so repeat compactions don't spam
Distinct from the existing ⚠️ dropped-turns warning — different severity, different emoji, explicit 'context is intact' reassurance.
The existing retry-on-main path in _generate_summary only fires for errors that match the _is_model_not_found heuristic (404/503, 'model_not_found', 'does not exist', 'no available channel'). Other misconfiguration errors — 400s from aggregators, provider-specific 'no route' strings, opaque rejections — fall straight through to the transient-cooldown branch, which drops N turns of context and inserts a static placeholder.
Losing context is almost always worse than one extra summary attempt. Add a best-effort retry-on-main for the unknown-error branch, guarded by the same invariants as the existing fast-path retry: only when summary_model differs from main, and only once per compressor (_summary_model_fallen_back).
Tests cover: 404 fast-path fallback still works, unknown 400 now falls back, same-model aux skips retry (no infinite loop), and a double-failure (aux + main) stops at 2 calls.
PR #16333 added a warning to the manual /compress reply when the
auxiliary summariser fails and the static fallback placeholder is
used, but only the gateway-hygiene path had a test
(test_session_hygiene_warns_user_when_summary_generation_fails).
The /compress branch in _handle_compress_command was uncovered.
New test test_compress_command_appends_warning_when_summary_generation_fails
mocks the compressor's _last_summary_fallback_used /
_last_summary_dropped_count / _last_summary_error fields and
verifies the /compress reply contains the ⚠️ marker, the underlying
error string, the dropped message count, and the 'historical
message(s) were removed' wording — i.e. the same contract the
hygiene-path test enforces.
Address review feedback on PR #16333:
1. The hygiene-path warning send was missing metadata=_hyg_meta. On
Telegram topics / Slack threads / Discord threads the warning would
land in the main channel instead of the originating thread. Now
reuses the same _hyg_meta dict already computed for the hygiene
compaction itself.
2. New gateway-level test
test_session_hygiene_warns_user_when_summary_generation_fails
verifies end-to-end:
- When the compressor's _last_summary_fallback_used flag is True,
the gateway invokes adapter.send() exactly once.
- The warning message includes the dropped count and the underlying
error string.
- metadata={'thread_id': ...} is propagated so the warning lands
in the originating topic/thread.
Tests: 20 gateway hygiene + 54 context_compressor — all pass.
When auxiliary compression's summary LLM call fails (e.g. model 404,
auxiliary model misconfigured), the compressor still drops the selected
turns and inserts a static fallback placeholder — the dropped context
is unrecoverable.
Previously the only signal of this was a WARNING in agent.log. Gateway
users (Telegram/Discord/etc.) had no way to know context was lost
because the existing _emit_warning path requires a status_callback,
and the gateway hygiene path uses a temporary _hyg_agent with
quiet_mode=True and no callback wired up.
Changes:
- ContextCompressor: track _last_summary_fallback_used and
_last_summary_dropped_count on each compress() call. Cleared at the
start of compress() and on session reset.
- gateway/run.py hygiene: after auto-compress, inspect the temp
agent's compressor; if fallback was used, send a visible ⚠️ warning
to the user via the platform adapter (TG/Discord/etc.) including
dropped count and the underlying error.
- gateway/run.py /compress: append the same warning to the manual
compress reply so users running /compress see the failure too.
Acceptance:
- Summary success: no user-visible warning (unchanged).
- Summary failure on gateway hygiene: user receives a TG/Discord
message with dropped count + error + remediation hint.
- Summary failure on /compress: warning appended to the command reply.
- CLI status_callback / _emit_warning path is untouched.
- Test coverage: two new tests verify the tracking fields are set on
failure and cleared on subsequent success.
The typing-indicator refresh loop in BasePlatformAdapter._keep_typing
awaited each send_typing call unconditionally. Each call is an HTTP
round-trip to the platform API (Telegram/Discord), normally ~100ms. When
the same network instability that causes upstream provider timeouts
(e.g. Anthropic capacity blips slowing first-token latency past the
120s stream-read timeout) also slows the platform typing API to
multi-second response times, the refresh loop stalls inside the await.
Platform-side typing expires at ~5s, so the bubble dies and stays dead
until the stuck send_typing call returns — right when the user most
needs the 'still working' signal and instead sees a bot that looks
dead, then asks 'wtf are you doing' which itself interrupts the
eventually-recovering turn.
Bound each send_typing with asyncio.wait_for (1.5s cap, derived from
interval so it's always below the 2s cadence). Slow calls get abandoned
so the next scheduled tick fires a fresh send_typing on schedule. As
long as any one of them reaches the platform within its ~5s
typing-expiry window, the bubble stays visible across the stall.
Also catches non-timeout send_typing exceptions (transient HTTP errors)
so one bad tick doesn't terminate the whole loop.
Tests: 4 new in tests/gateway/test_keep_typing_timeout.py covering
slow-send non-blocking, fast-send still-awaited, exception resilience,
and paused-chat regression guard.
* feat(tui): auto copy-on-select for transcript text
Drag in the transcript already highlighted but you had to press Cmd+C to
land it on the clipboard, and the highlight cleared on copy — most users
never realised selection existed. Now drag-release fires copySelectionNoClear
so the text is on the clipboard immediately while the highlight stays put,
matching iTerm2's "Copy to pasteboard on selection" default. Esc clears.
Behaviour:
- Single click in the input still positions the cursor (TextInput onClick).
- Single click in the transcript still does nothing destructive.
- Double / triple click select word / line, then drag extends.
- /copyselect [on|off|toggle] (alias /cos) flips the setting at runtime,
HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_COPY_ON_SELECT=1 disables at startup, persists via
display.tui_copy_on_select in config.yaml.
Help overlay now lists drag-select, multi-click, and click-to-position
so the gestures are discoverable.

Compare package-lock.json against npm's hidden node_modules lock by content instead of mtimes. Git checkouts and npm lock rewrites can make the root lockfile newer even when installed dependencies already match, causing hermes --tui to print Installing TUI dependencies on every launch.

* fix(tui): align prompt with status bar and capture full input row
Drop the leading prompt column from 3 to 2 so the input first character lines up with the status bar text. Wrap the prompt+input row in a single mouse-capture box and stop event propagation from TextInput's own handlers so any drag in that row delegates to composer selection without leaking to terminal-level selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): anchor hardware cursor during composer selection
When a composer selection covers a row exactly the column width, the rendered text fills the row and the terminal auto-wraps the hardware cursor to col 0 of the next row, leaving a ghost block beneath the prompt. Park the cursor at the start of the input box during selection so it can't escape the input region.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): hide hardware cursor during composer selection
Stop fighting auto-wrap by hiding the hardware cursor outright while the
composer has an active selection. This prevents both the ghost block under

on the first selected character. The cursor restores as soon as the
selection clears or focus changes.

* chore(tui): /clean — drop dead capture-pad path, dedupe gutter handlers
- TextInput: remove unused leftCaptureColumns prop and capture-pad math, drop
unused mouseApi.startAt, fold mouse offset into a single offsetAt helper,
share a MouseEventLite type across the four handlers.
- appLayout: hoist a GutterMouseEvent type and an endInputDrag callback so the
spacer/prompt/input rows share one shape.
- _tui_need_npm_install: lift the runtime-only key set to a module constant,
collapse nested isinstance checks, and document the mtime fallback.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): address copilot review on PR #16732
- Split InputSelection.clear() into clear() (cursor-preserving) and
collapseToEnd() (clear + jump to end). Cmd+C copy paths keep using
clear() so the cursor stays put; the blank-area click in useMainApp
switches to collapseToEnd() to match the requested UX.
- Spacer-row drags now force row=0 when forwarding into the input,
since the spacer's vertical origin doesn't align with the input box
and Ink mouse-capture keeps dispatching motion to the original
target. Prompt+input row drag keeps localRow because origins match.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): give TextInput Box an explicit width
After the /clean pass dropped the unused capture-pad math, the wrapping
Box also lost its explicit width and started sizing to its rendered
content. Clicks past the last character missed TextInput and fell
through to the parent prompt-row Box, which collapsed the cursor to
offset 0. Pin the Box back to `columns` so the input owns its full
column span regardless of value length.
Made-with: Cursor
* feat(tui): double-click select-all + hide cursor on terminal blur
- Track click time/offset in TextInput so a quick second click on the
same offset triggers select-all. Ink's screen-level multi-click is
bypassed once our onMouseDown captures, so the gesture has to be
detected locally.
- Extend the cursor-hide effect to also fire when the terminal loses
focus, so the hollow-rect ghost most terminals draw at the parked
cursor position disappears too.
Made-with: Cursor
* chore(tui): /clean — extract isMultiClickAt helper
Pull the click-recurrence math out of TextInput's onMouseDown into a
small isMultiClickAt(offset) helper so the handler reads as the gesture
list it actually is (multi-click → select-all, otherwise start).
Drop the redundant length>0 guard now that selectAll() already noops on
an empty value.

* docs(tui): explain _tui_need_npm_install content-vs-mtime comparison
Expand the docstring so future readers understand why we parse the
lockfiles instead of comparing mtimes, what the optional/peer skip
covers, how stale hidden-lock entries are handled, and when we fall
back to mtime.
Same layering concern as the persisted-assistant scrub already removed:
_emit_interim_assistant_message and the final_response return path were
mutating model output broadly. Streaming scrubber covers real leaks
delta-by-delta; these post-stream scrubs were redundant.
Reviewer pushback on the original boundary-hardening commits — three
overreach points pulled plugin-specific policy into shared core paths:
1. gateway/run.py hardcoded a '## Honcho Context' literal split for
vision-LLM output. Plugin-format heading in framework code; could
truncate legitimate output naturally containing that header.
Drop the literal split; keep generic sanitize_context (the wrapper
strip is plugin-agnostic). Plugin-specific cleanup belongs at the
provider boundary, not the shared gateway path.
2. run_agent.run_conversation scrubbed user_message and
persist_user_message before the conversation loop. User text is
sacred — if a user types a literal <memory-context> tag we must
not silently delete it. The producer (build_memory_context_block)
is the only legitimate emitter; user input should never need the
reverse op.
3. _build_assistant_message scrubbed model output before persistence.
Same hazard: would silently mutate legitimate documentation/code
the model emits containing the literal markers. The streaming
scrubber catches real leaks delta-by-delta before content is
concatenated; persist-time scrub was redundant belt-and-suspenders.
4. _fire_stream_delta stripped leading newlines from every delta unless
a paragraph break flag was set. Mid-stream '\n' is legitimate
markdown — lists, code fences, paragraph breaks — and chunk
boundaries are arbitrary. Narrow lstrip to the very first delta
of the stream only (so stale provider preamble still gets cleaned
on turn start, but mid-stream formatting survives).
Plus: build_memory_context_block now logs a warning when its defensive
sanitize_context strips something — surfaces buggy providers returning
pre-wrapped text instead of silently double-fencing.
Net architectural change: scrub surface collapses from 8 sites to 3
(StreamingContextScrubber on output deltas, plugin→backend send,
build_memory_context_block input-validation). Plugin-specific strings
stay out of shared runtime paths. User input and persisted assistant
output are no longer mutated.
Tests: rescoped TestMemoryContextSanitization (helper-correctness only,
no source-inspection of removed call sites), updated vision tests to
drop '## Honcho Context' literal-split assertions, updated
_build_assistant_message persistence test to assert preservation.
Added: cross-turn scrubber reset, build_memory_context_block warn-on-
violation, mid-stream newline preservation (plain + code fence).
Closed PR #5137 addressed the retrieval path (peer cards via get_card()
instead of the session-scoped lookup that returned empty for per-session
messaging flows) — that architectural fix is already in main as
_fetch_peer_card / _fetch_peer_context.
What never got fixed is the user-visible side: honcho_profile returning
a flat 'No profile facts available yet.' leaves the model to guess at
why. The model then often surfaces it to the user as a cryptic error.
Adds a diagnostic hint next to the existing 'result' message, enumerating
the likely causes in rough order of frequency:
1. Observation disabled for this peer (user_observe_me/others off)
2. Peer card hasn't accumulated yet (fresh peer / dialectic cadence
hasn't fired enough turns — cards build over time)
3. Generic fallback: self-hosted Honcho < 3.x lacks peer cards
The hint also suggests alternative tools (honcho_reasoning / honcho_search)
so the model can route around the empty card rather than giving up.
Schema description updated so the model knows the hint field exists and
that an empty card is NOT an error state.
7 tests cover the hint paths: warmup, observation-disabled for user + ai,
generic fallback, populated card still returns plain result (no hint),
alternative-tool suggestion present.
The scheme-validation commit (e77a3f2c) was too strict: a user with
legacy ''baseUrl: localhost:8000'' (no ''http://'' prefix) in their
''~/.honcho/config.json'' would get ''No API key configured'' from the
CLI after that change, even though their setup worked before.
urlparse on a schemeless host:port treats the host segment as the
scheme and leaves netloc empty, so the http/https check rejected it.
Falls back to a lenient check for schemeless strings that look like
hosts: contain '.' or ':', aren't a boolean/null literal, aren't pure
digits. The SDK still rejects truly malformed URLs at connect time
with a clearer error than ours.
Three new tests: legacy schemeless hosts accepted; obvious garbage
literals (''true'', ''null'', ''12345'') still rejected. Reviewer
noted concern #1: schemeless regression for self-hosters with old
configs.
Two small follow-ups to the PR review:
- Hoist hashlib import from _enforce_session_id_limit() to module top.
stdlib imports are free after first cache, but keeping all imports at
module top matches the rest of the codebase.
- _resolve_api_key now URL-parses baseUrl and requires http/https +
non-empty netloc before returning the 'local' sentinel. A typo like
baseUrl: 'true' (or bare 'localhost') no longer silently passes the
credential guard; the CLI correctly reports 'not configured'.
Three new tests cover the new validation (garbage strings, non-http
schemes, valid https).
fixes#5719
The auxiliary vision LLM called by gateway._enrich_message_with_vision
can echo its injected Honcho system prompt back into the image
description. That description gets embedded verbatim into the enriched
user message, so recalled memory (personal facts, dialectic output)
surfaces into a user-visible bubble.
Strips both forms of leak before embedding:
- <memory-context>...</memory-context> fenced blocks (sanitize_context)
- trailing '## Honcho Context' sections (header + everything after)
Plus regression tests:
- tests/agent/test_streaming_context_scrubber.py — 13 tests on the
stateful scrubber (whole block, split tags, false-positive partial
tags, unterminated span, reset, case-insensitivity)
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent_codex_responses.py — 2 new tests on
_fire_stream_delta covering the realistic 7-chunk leak scenario and
the cross-turn scrubber reset
- tests/gateway/test_vision_memory_leak.py — 4 tests covering the
vision auto-analysis boundary (clean pass-through, '## Honcho Context'
header, fenced block, both patterns together)
When no explicit timeout is configured (HonchoClientConfig.timeout,
honcho.timeout / requestTimeout, or HONCHO_TIMEOUT), get_honcho_client
previously constructed the SDK with no timeout kwarg, letting the
underlying httpx client hang indefinitely if the Honcho backend
became unreachable mid-request.
This is a silent-failure hazard on the post-response path of
run_conversation: the memory_manager.sync_all() / queue_prefetch_all()
calls fire after the agent has already generated its final reply, so
a stalled Honcho request blocks run_conversation from returning.
The gateway never logs "response ready" and never delivers the
response to the platform (Telegram, etc.), even though the text is
already saved to the session file.
Repro: unplug the network or block app.honcho.dev mid-turn after
the model has produced its final message. Without this change,
_run_agent never returns. With it, the call aborts after 30s,
run_conversation returns, and the gateway delivers the response
(Honcho sync failure is logged and swallowed as before).
The default applies only when nothing is configured, so any
deployment that has explicitly set timeout / HONCHO_TIMEOUT /
honcho.timeout / honcho.requestTimeout keeps its existing value.
Self-hosted deployments that genuinely need a longer ceiling can
still override via any of those knobs.
_resolve_api_key() only checks for apiKey / HONCHO_API_KEY, so all
CLI subcommands (identity --show, status, migrate, etc.) bail with
"No API key configured" on self-hosted instances that use baseUrl
without an API key.
Return "local" when baseUrl or HONCHO_BASE_URL is set, matching the
client.py behavior that already handles this case for the SDK.
Tested on: macOS, self-hosted Honcho (Docker, localhost:8000).
Gateway session keys (Matrix "!room:server" + thread event IDs, Telegram
supergroup reply chains, Slack thread IDs with long workspace prefixes) can
exceed Honcho's 100-character session ID limit after sanitization. Every
Honcho API call for those sessions then 400s with "session_id too long".
Add a helper that enforces the 100-char limit after sanitization:
short keys (the common case) short-circuit unchanged; over-limit keys
keep a prefix and append a deterministic `-<8 hex>` SHA-256 suffix over
the original key so two long keys sharing a leading segment can't
collide onto the same truncated ID.
Adds 7 regression tests in tests/honcho_plugin/test_client.py covering
short / exact-limit / long / deterministic / collision-resistant /
allowlist-preserving / hash-suffix-present cases.
When a gateway drives Hermes (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ...), it passes the
platform-native user ID as ``runtime_user_peer_name`` into the Honcho
session manager. That ID wins over ``peer_name`` in ``honcho.json``, so a
single user who connects over three platforms ends up as three separate
Honcho peers — one per platform — with fragmented memory and no cross-
platform context continuity.
For multi-user bots this is correct (and must not change): each user gets
their own peer scope. For the vast majority of personal Hermes deployments
the configured ``peer_name`` is an unambiguous identity, though, so the
reporter asked for an opt-in knob that pins the user peer to that value.
Fix: new ``pinPeerName`` boolean on the host config, default ``false``.
When ``true`` AND ``peerName`` is set, the configured peer_name beats the
gateway's runtime identity; every other resolution case is unchanged.
honcho.json:
{
"peerName": "Igor",
"hosts": {
"hermes": { "pinPeerName": true }
}
}
session.py (resolution order, pinned case):
runtime_user_peer_name → skipped (opt-in flag active)
config.peer_name → WINS "Igor"
session-key fallback → unreached
Parsing follows the same host-block-overrides-root pattern as every other
flag in HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config (``_resolve_bool`` helper).
Tests (tests/honcho_plugin/test_pin_peer_name.py — 13 cases, 5 groups):
- Config parsing: default, root true, host-block true, host overrides
root, explicit false.
- Peer resolution: runtime wins by default (regression guard for multi-
user bots), config wins when pinned, pin-without-peer_name is a no-op
(prevents silent peer-id collapse to session-key fallback), CLI path
where runtime is absent, deepest fallback intact, assistant peer
untouched by the flag.
- Cross-platform unification: Telegram UID + Discord snowflake collapse
to one peer when pinned; negative control confirms two distinct
runtime IDs still produce two peers when unpinned.
244 honcho_plugin tests pass, 3 pre-existing skips, zero regressions.
Defensive detail: session.py uses ``getattr(self._config, "pin_peer_name",
False)`` so callers building partial config objects (several test fixtures
across the codebase do this) don't break if they haven't updated yet.
Runtime cost: one attr lookup per new session.

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

- config.py: remove dead ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION[17] entry (current _config_version
is 22, so all users are past version 17 and would never be prompted for
GMI_API_KEY on upgrade — consistent with how arcee was added)
- auxiliary_client.py: use google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview as GMI aux
model instead of anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 (matches cheap fast-model pattern
used by all other providers: zai→glm-4.5-flash, kimi→kimi-k2-turbo-preview,
stepfun→step-3.5-flash, kilocode→google/gemini-3-flash-preview)
- test_gmi_provider.py: fix malformed write_text() call in doctor test
(was: write_text("GMI_API_KEY=*** encoding="utf-8") → missing closing quote,
wrote literal string 'GMI_API_KEY=*** encoding=' to .env file)
- test_gmi_provider.py + test_auxiliary_client.py: update aux model assertions
to match new cheaper default
- docs/integrations/providers.md: add 'gmi' to inline 'Supported providers'
fallback list (was only in the table, not the inline list at line ~1181)
- docs/reference/cli-commands.md: add 'gmi' to --provider choices list
Distinguish missing model from unsupported model before enabling fast mode and cover both cases so config and live agent state remain untouched on invalid fast toggles.
Match classic CLI parity by refusing to enable fast mode when the active model cannot produce fast request overrides, avoiding a misleading fast status with no runtime effect.
Make `config.set fast status` read-only and keep live agent request overrides in sync with fast-mode toggles so runtime API kwargs match the selected mode.
Harden busy mode config reads against invalid display config shapes and align /fast help+usage text with accepted aliases, with regression coverage for non-dict display values.
Route /browser, /reload-mcp, /rollback, /stop, /fast, and /busy through direct TUI RPC handlers so state changes hit the live gateway session instead of slash-worker fallback. Add TUI session finalize/reset parity hooks (memory commit + plugin boundaries) and parity matrix tests to keep mutating commands off fallback.
Handle queued-title ValueError cleanup during session init, harden Discord message source building for test stubs, and fix the Dockerfile contract test syntax error. Also refresh the TUI lockfile and Nix build flags so nix ubuntu-latest no longer fails on npm lock/peer resolution drift.
Retry queued pending titles even when the DB already has a non-empty title so explicit user title intents are not silently lost (for example after auto-title). Includes regression coverage.
Tighten pending-title flush during session init and treat row lookup failures during title-set no-op detection as RPC errors instead of silently queueing.
Handle session.title read failures without crashing, distinguish no-op title writes from missing session rows, and use a distinct empty-title error code with regression coverage.
- create HERMES_TUI_ACTIVE_SESSION_FILE with mkstemp instead of a predictable tmp path and always cleanup in finally
- add assertions that launch wiring uses a randomized session file path and removes it on exit
- use a grouped last_active join in search_sessions to avoid per-row correlated max lookups
- always close SessionDB in _resolve_last_session via finally and add regression coverage for search failure cleanup
- order session listing by computed last_active in SessionDB so callers get MRU rows directly
- keep _resolve_last_session as a single-row lookup and add regression coverage for >20 session sampling
Route TUI /title through session.title RPC and queue titles when the session DB row is still initializing, so renamed sessions reliably appear in /resume and browse flows.
Thread a vision-request flag through auxiliary provider resolution so Copilot clients can include Copilot-Vision-Request only for vision tasks. This preserves normal text requests while ensuring Copilot vision payloads reach the vision-capable route.
Add regression coverage for Copilot vision routing and keep cached text and vision clients separate so a text client without the header is not reused for vision.

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

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

Session-local trajectory cache — keyed by session hash, regenerated
per-session, won't port to another machine anyway. On a large install
this was multiple GB of pure noise in every zip.
Also adds a regression test for the pre-existing backups/ exclusion
so the two machine-local dirs share coverage.
The zip backup could add minutes to every 'hermes update' on large
HERMES_HOME directories. Flip the default to off and add a --backup
flag for one-off opt-in runs.
- updates.pre_update_backup default: True -> False
- hermes update: new --backup flag (opposite of existing --no-backup)
- Silent no-op when disabled (no message spam on every update)
- Existing --no-backup still works and wins over --backup
- Users who explicitly set pre_update_backup: true keep the old behavior
- Tests updated to cover default-off, --backup opt-in, and config-enabled paths
* feat(image-input): native multimodal routing based on model vision capability
Attach user-sent images as OpenAI-style content parts on the user turn when
the active model supports native vision, so vision-capable models see real
pixels instead of a lossy text description from vision_analyze.
Routing decision (agent/image_routing.py::decide_image_input_mode):
agent.image_input_mode = auto | native | text (default: auto)
In auto mode:
- If auxiliary.vision.provider/model is explicitly configured, keep the
text pipeline (user paid for a dedicated vision backend).
- Else if models.dev reports supports_vision=True for the active
provider/model, attach natively.
- Else fall back to text (current behaviour).
Call sites updated: gateway/run.py (all messaging platforms), tui_gateway
(dashboard/Ink), cli.py (interactive /attach + drag-drop).
run_agent.py changes:
- _prepare_anthropic_messages_for_api now passes image parts through
unchanged when the model supports vision — the Anthropic adapter
translates them to native image blocks. Previous behaviour
(vision_analyze → text) only runs for non-vision Anthropic models.
- New _prepare_messages_for_non_vision_model mirrors the same contract
for chat.completions and codex_responses paths, so non-vision models
on any provider get text-fallback instead of failing at the provider.
- New _model_supports_vision() helper reads models.dev caps.
vision_analyze description rewritten: positions it as a tool for images
NOT already visible in the conversation (URLs, tool output, deeper
inspection). Prevents the model from redundantly calling it on images
already attached natively.
Config default: agent.image_input_mode = auto.
Tests: 35 new (test_image_routing.py + test_vision_aware_preprocessing.py),
all existing tests that reference _prepare_anthropic_messages_for_api
still pass (198 targeted + new tests green).
* feat(image-input): size-cap + resize oversized images, charge image tokens in compressor
Two follow-ups that make the native image routing safer for long / heavy
sessions:
1) Oversize handling in build_native_content_parts:
- 20 MB ceiling per image (matches vision_tools._MAX_BASE64_BYTES,
the most restrictive provider — Gemini inline data).
- Delegates to vision_tools._resize_image_for_vision (Pillow-based,
already battle-tested) to downscale to 5 MB first-try.
- If Pillow is missing or resize still overshoots, the image is
dropped and reported back in skipped[]; caller falls back to text
enrichment for that image.
2) Image-token accounting in context_compressor:
- New _IMAGE_TOKEN_ESTIMATE = 1600 (matches Claude Code's constant;
within the realistic range for Anthropic/GPT-4o/Gemini billing).
- _content_length_for_budget() helper: sums text-part lengths and
charges _IMAGE_CHAR_EQUIVALENT (1600 * 4 chars) per image/image_url/
input_image part. Base64 payload inside image_url is NOT counted
as chars — dimensions don't matter, only image-presence.
- Both tail-cut sites (_prune_old_tool_results L527 and
_find_tail_cut_by_tokens L1126) now call the helper so multi-image
conversations don't slip past compression budget.
Tests: 9 new in test_image_routing.py (oversize triggers resize,
resize-fails-returns-None, oversize-skipped-reported), 11 new in
test_compressor_image_tokens.py (flat charge per image, multiple images,
Responses-API / Anthropic-native / OpenAI-chat shapes, no-inflation on
raw base64, bounds-check on the constant, integration test that an
image-heavy tail actually gets trimmed).
* fix(image-input): replace blanket 20MB ceiling with empirically-verified per-provider limits
The previous commit imposed a hardcoded 20 MB base64 ceiling on all
providers, triggering auto-resize on anything larger. This was wrong in
both directions:
* Too loose for Anthropic — actual limit is 5 MB (returns HTTP 400
'image exceeds 5 MB maximum' above that).
* Too strict for OpenAI / Codex / OpenRouter — accept 49 MB+ without
complaint (empirically verified April 2026 with progressive PNG
sizes).
New behaviour:
* _PROVIDER_BASE64_CEILING table: only anthropic and bedrock have a
ceiling (5 MB, since bedrock-on-Claude shares Anthropic's decoder).
* Providers NOT in the table get no ceiling — images attach at native
size and we trust the provider to return its own error if it
disagrees. A provider-specific 400 message is clearer than us
guessing wrong and silently degrading image quality.
* build_native_content_parts() gains a keyword-only provider arg;
gateway/CLI/TUI pass the active provider so Anthropic users get
auto-resize protection while OpenAI users don't pay it.
* Resize target dropped from 5 MB to 4 MB to slide safely under
Anthropic's boundary with header overhead.
Empirical measurements (direct API, no Hermes in the loop):
image b64 anthropic openrouter/gpt5.5 codex-oauth/gpt5.5
0.19 MB ✓ ✓ ✓
12.37 MB ✗ 400 5MB ✓ ✓
23.85 MB ✗ 400 5MB ✓ ✓
49.46 MB ✗ 413 ✓ ✓
Tests: rewrote TestOversizeHandling (5 tests): no-ceiling pass-through,
Anthropic resize fires, Anthropic skip on resize-fail, build_native_parts
routes ceiling by provider, unknown provider gets no ceiling. All 52
targeted tests pass.
* refactor(image-input): attempt native, shrink-and-retry on provider reject
Replace proactive per-provider size ceilings with a reactive shrink path
on the provider's actual rejection. All providers now attempt native
full-size attachment first; if the provider returns an image-too-large
error, the agent silently shrinks and retries once.
Why the previous design was wrong: hardcoding provider ceilings
(anthropic=5MB, others=unlimited) meant OpenAI users on a 10MB image
paid no tax, but Anthropic users lost quality on anything >5MB even
though the empirical behaviour at provider-reject time is the same
(shrink + retry). Baking the table into the routing layer also
requires updating Hermes every time a provider's limit changes.
Reactive design:
- image_routing.py: _file_to_data_url encodes native size, no ceiling.
build_native_content_parts drops its provider kwarg.
- error_classifier.py: new FailoverReason.image_too_large + pattern
match ("image exceeds", "image too large", etc.) checked BEFORE
context_overflow so Anthropic's 5MB rejection lands in the right
bucket.
- run_agent.py: new _try_shrink_image_parts_in_messages walks api
messages in-place, re-encodes oversized data: URL image parts
through vision_tools._resize_image_for_vision to fit under 4MB,
handles both chat.completions (dict image_url) and Responses
(string image_url) shapes, ignores http URLs (provider-fetched).
New image_shrink_retry_attempted flag in the retry loop fires the
shrink exactly once per turn after credential-pool recovery but
before auth retries.
E2E verified live against Anthropic claude-sonnet-4-6:
- 17.9MB PNG (23.9MB b64) attached at native size
- Anthropic returns 400 "image exceeds 5 MB maximum"

* feat(plugins): google_meet — bundled plugin for join+transcribe Meet calls
v1 shipping transcribe-only. Spawns headless Chromium via Playwright,
joins an explicit https://meet.google.com/ URL, enables live captions,
and scrapes them into a transcript file the agent can read across turns.
The agent then has the meeting content in context and can do followup
work (send recap, file issues, schedule followups) with its regular tools.
Surface:
- Tools: meet_join, meet_status, meet_transcript, meet_leave, meet_say
(meet_say is a v1 stub — returns not-implemented; v2 will wire
realtime duplex audio via OpenAI Realtime / Gemini Live +
BlackHole / PulseAudio null-sink.)
- CLI: hermes meet setup | auth | join | status | transcript | stop
- Lifecycle: on_session_end auto-leaves any still-running bot.
Safety:
- URL regex rejects anything that isn't https://meet.google.com/...
- No calendar scanning, no auto-dial, no auto-consent announcement.
- Single active meeting per install; a second meet_join leaves the first.
- Platform-gated to Linux + macOS (Windows audio routing for v2 untested).
- Opt-in: standalone plugin, user must add 'google_meet' to
plugins.enabled in config.yaml.
Zero core changes. Plugin uses existing register_tool /
register_cli_command / register_hook surfaces. 21 new unit tests cover the
URL safety gate, transcript dedup + status round-trip, process-manager
refusals/start/stop paths, tool-handler JSON shape under each branch,
session-end cleanup, and platform-gated register().
* feat(plugins/google_meet): v2 realtime audio + v3 remote node host
v2 \u2014 agent speaks in-meeting
audio_bridge.py: PulseAudio null-sink (Linux) + BlackHole probe (macOS).
On Linux we load pactl module-null-sink + module-virtual-source, track
module ids for teardown; Chrome gets PULSE_SOURCE=<virt src> env so its
fake mic reads what we write to the sink. macOS just probes BlackHole
2ch and returns its device name \u2014 the plugin refuses to switch the
user's default audio input (that would surprise them).
realtime/openai_client.py: sync WebSocket client for the OpenAI Realtime
API. RealtimeSession.speak(text) sends conversation.item.create +
response.create, accumulates response.audio.delta PCM bytes, appends
them to a file. RealtimeSpeaker runs a JSONL-queue loop consuming
meet_say calls. 'websockets' is an optional dep imported lazily.
meet_bot.py: when HERMES_MEET_MODE=realtime, provisions AudioBridge,
starts RealtimeSession + speaker thread, spawns paplay to pump PCM
into the null-sink, then cleans everything up on SIGTERM. If any
realtime setup step fails, falls back cleanly to transcribe mode
with an error flagged in status.json.
process_manager.enqueue_say(): writes a JSONL line to say_queue.jsonl;
refuses when no active meeting or active meeting is transcribe-only.
tools.meet_say: real implementation; requires active mode='realtime'.
meet_join: adds mode='transcribe'|'realtime' param.
v3 \u2014 remote node host
node/protocol.py: JSON envelope (type, id, token, payload) + validate.
node/registry.py: $HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/nodes.json, with
resolve() auto-selecting the sole registered node when name is None.
node/server.py: NodeServer \u2014 websockets.serve, bearer-token auth,
dispatches start_bot/stop/status/transcript/say/ping onto the local
process_manager. Token auto-generated + persisted on first run.
node/client.py: NodeClient \u2014 short-lived sync WS per RPC, raises
RuntimeError on error envelopes, clean API matching the server.
node/cli.py: 'hermes meet node {run,list,approve,remove,status,ping}'
subtree; wired into the main meet CLI by cli.py so 'hermes meet node'
Just Works.
tools.py: every meet_* tool accepts node='<name>'|'auto'; when set,
routes through NodeClient to the remote bot instead of running
locally. Unknown node \u2192 clear 'no registered meet node matches ...'
error.
cli.py: 'hermes meet join --node my-mac --mode realtime' and
'hermes meet say "..." --node my-mac' route to the node; 'hermes
meet node approve <name> <url> <token>' registers one.
Tests
21 v1 tests updated (meet_say is no longer a stub; active-record now
carries mode).
20 new audio_bridge + realtime tests.
42 new node tests (protocol/registry/server/client/cli).
17 new v1/v2/v3 integration tests at the plugin level covering
enqueue_say edge cases, env var passthrough, mode validation, node
routing (known/unknown/auto/ambiguous), and argparse wiring for
`hermes meet say` + `hermes meet node` + --mode/--node flags.
Total: 100 plugin tests + 58 plugin-system tests = 158 passing.
E2E verified on Linux with fresh HERMES_HOME: plugin loads, 5 tools
register, on_session_end hook wires, 'hermes meet' CLI tree wires
including the node subtree, NodeRegistry round-trips, meet_join routes
correctly to NodeClient under node='my-mac' with mode='realtime',
enqueue_say accepts realtime/rejects transcribe, argparse parses every
new flag cleanly.
Zero changes to core. All new code lives under plugins/google_meet/.
* feat(plugins/google_meet): auto-install, admission detect, mac PCM pump, barge-in, richer status
Ready-for-live-test follow-up on PR #16364. Five additions that matter for
the first live run on a real Meet, in priority order:
1. hermes meet install [--realtime] [--yes]
pip install playwright websockets + python -m playwright install chromium
--realtime: installs platform audio deps (pulseaudio-utils on Linux via
sudo apt, blackhole-2ch + ffmpeg on macOS via brew). Prompts before
sudo/brew unless --yes. Refuses on Windows. Refuses to auto-flip the
macOS default input — user still selects BlackHole in System Settings
(deliberate; surprise audio rerouting is worse than a manual step).
2. Admission detection
_detect_admission(page): Leave-button visible OR caption region
attached OR participants list present → we're in-call.
_detect_denied(page): 'You can\'t join this video call' / 'You were
removed' / 'No one responded to your request' → bail out.
HERMES_MEET_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (default 300s) caps how long we sit in
the lobby before giving up. in_call stays False until admitted.
Status surfaces leaveReason: duration_expired | lobby_timeout |
denied | page_closed.
3. macOS PCM pump
ffmpeg reads speaker.pcm (24kHz s16le mono) and writes to the
BlackHole AVFoundation output via -f audiotoolbox
-audio_device_index <N>. _mac_audio_device_index() probes
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true to resolve 'BlackHole 2ch'
→ numeric index. Falls back to index 0 on probe failure. Linux
paplay pump unchanged.
4. Richer status dict
_BotState now tracks realtime, realtimeReady, realtimeDevice,
audioBytesOut, lastAudioOutAt, lastBargeInAt, joinAttemptedAt,
leaveReason. RealtimeSession.audio_bytes_out / last_audio_out_at
counters fold into the status file once a second so meet_status()
can show the agent's voice activity in near-real-time.
5. Barge-in
RealtimeSession.cancel_response() sends type='response.cancel' over
the same WS (lock-guarded so it's safe to call from the caption
thread while speak() is reading frames). Handles response.cancelled
as a terminal frame type. _looks_like_human_speaker() gates triggers
so the bot's own name, 'You', 'Unknown', and blanks don't self-cancel.
Called from the caption drain loop: when a new caption arrives
attributed to a real participant while rt.session exists, we fire
cancel_response() and stamp lastBargeInAt.
Tests: 20 new unit tests across _BotState telemetry, barge-in gating,
admission/denied probe error handling, cancel_response with and without
a connected WS, and `hermes meet install` CLI wiring (flag parsing +
end-to-end subprocess.run verification + Linux-already-installed fast
path). Total 171 passing across all google_meet test files + the
plugin-system regression suite.
E2E verified on Linux: plugin loads, all 5 tools register,
`hermes meet install --realtime --yes` parses, fresh-bot status.json
has every new telemetry key, cancel_response on a disconnected session
returns False without raising, barge-in helper gates the bot's own
name correctly.
Still out of scope (for a future PR, not blocking live test):
mic → Realtime duplex (the agent listening to meeting audio via
WebRTC), node-host TLS/pairing UX, Windows audio, Meet create+Twilio.
Docs updated: SKILL.md now lists the installer subcommand, lobby
timeout, barge-in caveat, and the full status-dict reference table.
README.md quick-start uses hermes meet install.
Every 'hermes update' now runs a full backup of ~/.hermes/ first, so
users can always roll back to the exact state they had before the
update if anything goes wrong (corrupted sessions.db, broken skills,
config migrations that don't round-trip, etc.).
Changes:
- hermes_cli/backup.py: new create_pre_update_backup() helper. Writes
to <HERMES_HOME>/backups/pre-update-<stamp>.zip using the same
exclusion rules and SQLite safe-copy as 'hermes backup'. Auto-rotates
(keep last N, pre-update-*.zip only — hand-dropped zips in backups/
are untouched). Adds 'backups' to _EXCLUDED_DIRS so subsequent backups
don't nest prior ones.
- hermes_cli/main.py: _run_pre_update_backup() wired into
_cmd_update_impl before any git operation. Prints save path, restore
command, and how to disable. Swallows failures so a broken backup
never blocks the update itself. New --no-backup flag on 'hermes
update' for one-off override.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new 'updates' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with
pre_update_backup (default true) and backup_keep (default 5).
Auto-surfaces in the dashboard config UI.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py: +11 tests covering backup location,
content parity with 'hermes backup', no-recursion, rotation, manual
file preservation, config gate, --no-backup flag, flag-wins-over-config.
The CLI renders through prompt_toolkit in non-full-screen mode, so every
repaint uses the renderer's tracked _cursor_pos.y to cursor_up() + erase
before drawing the new frame. Any time that tracked position drifts from
terminal reality, redraws stack on top of stale content instead of
overwriting it. Four user-visible bugs share this root cause.
Fixes:
- #5474 (SIGWINCH ghosts): the resize wrapper previously only handled
column-shrink reflow. Generalize it to force a full screen-clear
(erase_screen + cursor_goto(0,0)) and renderer.reset() on every resize
— covers widen, row-shrink, and multiplexer SIGWINCH-less redraws.
- #8688 (cmux/tmux tab switch): no SIGWINCH fires on focus regain, so
prompt_toolkit has no signal to recover. Add a _force_full_redraw()
helper, bound to Ctrl+L (standard bash/zsh/vim convention) and exposed
as /redraw. Users can manually clear drift without restarting Hermes.
- #14692 (DSR response leaks — ^[[53;1R): resize storms make
prompt_toolkit's CSI 6n queries race past the input parser; the
terminal's reply ends up as literal input text. Add a sibling of the
bracketed-paste sanitizer that strips \x1b[<row>;<col>R and the
caret-escape visible form from paste text, buffer text-filter, and
the input-processing loop.
The idle-redraw removal (#12641) is in the preceding commit from
@foxion37 — keeping them as separate commits preserves attribution.
On provider switches mid-session (e.g. MiniMax -> DeepSeek), the source
assistant turn carries a 'reasoning' field written by the prior provider
but no 'reasoning_content' key. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api would
promote that foreign 'reasoning' to 'reasoning_content' on the outbound
DeepSeek request, leaking a cross-provider chain of thought and in
practice causing HTTP 400.
DeepSeek's own _build_assistant_message always pins reasoning_content=''
at creation time for tool-call turns, so the shape (reasoning set,
reasoning_content absent, tool_calls present) is unreachable from
same-provider DeepSeek history — it can only come from a prior provider.
Pad with '' in that case instead of promoting.
Healthy same-provider 'reasoning' promotion (no tool_calls, or on
providers that do not require the empty-string pin) is unchanged.
Defensive: when the generator encounters a fenced code block containing
Unicode box-drawing characters, wrap it in `<!-- ascii-guard-ignore -->`
markers so the docs-site-checks lint (which scans inside code fences)
can't reject the page for a skill's own diagram.
Plain bash/python code blocks stay uncluttered — only blocks with box
chars get wrapped. Skill authors no longer have to remember to add the
ignore markers in every SKILL.md with ASCII art.
Fixes#15305.
Quick state snapshot now includes pairing JSONs (generic + legacy +
Feishu comment pairing), and `hermes update` takes a pre-update
snapshot labeled `pre-update` before pulling.
Pairing data lives outside state.db in platform-specific JSONs under
~/.hermes/pairing/, ~/.hermes/platforms/pairing/, and
~/.hermes/feishu_comment_pairing.json. The update command already
couldn't touch $HERMES_HOME, but #15733 reports lost pairing after
an update — this gives users something to restore from via
`/snapshot list` / `/snapshot restore <id>` if anything clobbers
the approved-user lists.
- Extend _QUICK_STATE_FILES with pairing paths (files + dirs)
- Snapshot walks directories recursively and records each file in the
manifest individually so restore logic is unchanged
- _cmd_update_impl calls create_quick_snapshot(label='pre-update')
after 'Found N new commits' and before 'Pulling updates'
- Snapshot failures are logged at debug and never block the update
Refs #15733.
read_file's dedup path returned a lightweight stub on re-reads of an
unchanged file, then returned early — so the consecutive-read loop
guard (hard block at count>=4) at the bottom of read_file_tool never
ran for stub-looped calls. Weaker tool-following models (local Qwen3.6
variants in the reported case) ignore the passive 'refer to earlier
result' hint and hammer the same read_file call until iteration budget
runs out.
Track per-key stub returns in task_data['dedup_hits'] and, on the
second stub for the same (path, offset, limit), return a hard BLOCKED
error mirroring the wording the real-read path already uses. A real
read, an intervening non-read tool call (notify_other_tool_call), or
reset_file_dedup (on context compression) all clear the counter so
the guard never stays engaged longer than the actual loop.
Closes#15759
Telegram groups emit a single bot_command entity covering the whole
/cmd@botname span with no accompanying mention entity, so the existing
mention gate in _message_mentions_bot dropped slash commands sent via
the bot-menu autocomplete whenever require_mention is enabled.
Recognise bot_command entities whose @botname suffix matches the bot
username (case-insensitive) as a direct mention, and keep rejecting
commands addressed at other bots. Fixes#15415.
When 'hermes model' runs against a providers: (keyed-schema) entry that
relies only on key_env, the picker resolves the env var for the live
/models request and then wrote a synthesized 'api_key: ${KEY_ENV}' back
to the providers.<key> entry. That's redundant — the runtime already
resolves from key_env directly — and it clutters configs that
intentionally keep credentials out of config.yaml.
Only persist provider_entry['api_key'] when the user originally had an
inline value (literal secret or ${VAR} template). Entries that declared
only key_env stay clean on save.
Fixes#15803.
Harden the Matrix adapter's sender-drop guards so bot-self events and
appservice/bridge identities never reach the gateway's pairing flow or
the agent loop.
Two filters, applied as early as possible in _on_room_message (and
_on_reaction for the self-filter):
1. _is_self_sender(sender) — case-insensitive + whitespace-trimmed
equality with self._user_id. When self._user_id is still empty
(whoami has not resolved, or login failed), returns True
defensively: an unidentified bot dropping its own events is always
preferable to falling into an echo loop. The previous byte-for-byte
equality check let differently-cased copies of the bot's MXID slip
through, and an unresolved self-ID silently disabled the guard.
2. _is_system_or_bridge_sender(sender) — drops appservice namespace
puppets (conventional @_bridge_...:server form) and malformed
senders with an empty localpart. These identities used to fall
through to the gateway's unauthorized-user path, trigger a pairing
code, and — once an operator approved the bridge — every outbound
message the bridge relayed would loop back as an authorized user
message. This was the root of the 'hall of mirrors' symptom.
Fixes#15763
Test plan
---------
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_matrix.py
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_matrix_mention.py tests/gateway/test_matrix_voice.py
All 182 tests pass. 14 new regression tests cover exact / case-insensitive
/ whitespace / unresolved-self-id matches, bridge prefix detection, empty
sender, and the full _on_room_message drop path.
Closes#15775.
Title generation swallowed exceptions at debug level and returned None,
so a depleted auxiliary provider (e.g. OpenRouter 402) silently left
sessions with NULL titles. Reporter observed 45 untitled sessions
accumulated over 19 days with no user-visible indication.
- agent/title_generator.py: accept optional failure_callback, bump log
to WARNING, invoke callback on call_llm exception (swallowing callback
errors so nothing can crash the fire-and-forget worker thread).
- cli.py, gateway/run.py: pass agent._emit_auxiliary_failure as the
callback so failures route through the existing user-visible warning
channel.
- tests: cover callback fires / errors are swallowed / no-callback
legacy behavior / maybe_auto_title forwards kwarg to worker.
raw_content from message["content"] can be a list that contains bare
strings, not only dicts. The previous `p.get("text", "")` call raised
AttributeError on string items, crashing context compression for any
session that had a message with mixed content.
Guard with isinstance checks: dict → .get("text"), str → len(p),
fallback → len(str(p)). Adds a regression test covering the bare-string
case that would have AttributeError'd on the pre-fix code.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
_find_tail_cut_by_tokens called len(content) to estimate message tokens.
When content is a list of blocks (multimodal: text + image_url), len()
returns block count (e.g. 2) rather than character count, so a message
with 500 chars of text was counted as ~10 tokens instead of ~135.
This caused the backward walk to exhaust all messages before hitting the
budget ceiling; the head_end safeguard then forced cut = n - min_tail,
shrinking the protected tail to the bare minimum and preventing effective
compression of long multimodal conversations.
Fix mirrors the existing pattern in _prune_old_tool_results (line 487):
sum(len(p.get("text", "")) for p in raw_content)
if isinstance(raw_content, list) else len(raw_content)
Tests: 3 new cases in TestTokenBudgetTailProtection — regression guard
(confirms the test fails with the bug), plain-string regression guard,
and image-only block edge case.
Fixes#16087.

If the gateway's Python env loses access to 'croniter' between when a
cron job was created and when mark_job_run() fires, compute_next_run()
returns None for cron schedules. mark_job_run() treated that as terminal
completion and wrote enabled=false, state=completed — turning a missing
runtime dep into a silent, permanent job-off.
That behaviour is safe for one-shot jobs but wrong for recurring ones. A
missing dep should surface as an error the user can see, not as successful
completion of a job that is about to stop firing.
mark_job_run() now only disables the job on next_run_at=None when the
schedule is one-shot. For recurring (cron/interval) schedules it keeps
enabled=true, sets state=error, and records last_error so the user can
see why the job isn't advancing. compute_next_run() also logs a warning
the first time cron+no-croniter hits, so the underlying cause is visible
in the gateway log.
Tests cover:
- recurring cron job stays enabled with state=error when HAS_CRONITER=False
- recurring interval stays enabled when compute_next_run returns None
- one-shot jobs still flip to enabled=false, state=completed (no regression)
Fixes#16265
Azure Foundry deploys GPT-5.x, codex-*, and o1/o3/o4 reasoning models as
Responses-API-only. Calling /chat/completions against these deployments
returns 400 'The requested operation is unsupported.', which broke any
user who ran 'hermes model' on Azure, picked a gpt-5/codex deployment,
and kept the default api_mode: chat_completions. Verified in a user
debug bundle on 2026-04-26: gpt-5.3-codex failed on synopsisse.openai.azure.com
with that exact payload while gpt-4o-pure on the same endpoint worked.
Adds azure_foundry_model_api_mode(model_name) that returns
codex_responses when the model name starts with gpt-5, codex, o1, o3,
or o4 — otherwise None so chat_completions / anthropic_messages stay
untouched for gpt-4o, Llama, Claude-via-Anthropic, etc.
Resolver (both the direct Azure Foundry path and the pool-entry path)
consults it and upgrades api_mode unless the user explicitly picked
anthropic_messages. target_model (from /model mid-session switch)
takes precedence over the persisted default so switching from gpt-4o
to gpt-5.3-codex routes correctly before the next request.
Docs: correct the azure-foundry guide which previously claimed Azure
keeps gpt-5.x on chat completions — that was only true for early Azure
OpenAI, not Azure Foundry codex/o-series deployments.
Tests: 14 unit tests for azure_foundry_model_api_mode + 6 integration
tests in TestAzureFoundryResolution covering Bob's exact scenario,
target_model override, anthropic_messages guard, and o3-mini.
Parse scope from the raw callback URL before stripping the auth code so Flow.fetch_token matches user-granted scopes. Add regression test for dual-scope callbacks.
Made-with: Cursor
Two related fixes for OpenClaw-residue problems after an OpenClaw→Hermes
migration (especially migrations done via OpenClaw's own tool, which
doesn't archive the source directory).
1. optional-skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py:
rebrand_text() was rewriting ~/.openclaw/config.yaml → ~/.Hermes/config.yaml
(capital H — a directory that doesn't exist). Now case-preserving:
"OpenClaw" → "Hermes" (prose), but "openclaw" → "hermes" (so filesystem
paths land on the real Hermes home). Regex logic unchanged — replacement
function now checks if the matched text was all-lowercase and emits the
replacement in the matching case.
2. agent/onboarding.py + cli.py: one-time startup banner the first time
Hermes launches and finds ~/.openclaw/. Tells the user to run
`hermes claw cleanup` to archive it, gated on the existing onboarding
seen-flag framework (onboarding.seen.openclaw_residue_cleanup in
config.yaml). Fires once per install; re-running requires wiping that
flag or running cleanup directly.
Tests:
- 4 new TestDetectOpenclawResidue tests (present / absent / file-instead-
of-dir / default-home smoke)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueHint tests (content check)
- 2 TestOpenclawResidueSeenFlag tests (flag isolation + round-trip)
- test_rebrand_text_preserves_filesystem_path_casing regression test
with 4 scenarios including the exact ~/.openclaw/config.yaml case
- Existing test_rebrand_text_* tests updated to the new case-preserving
contract (lowercase input → lowercase output)

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

`_resolve_effective_accept()` used `return bool(cfg_val)` for the
`hooks_auto_accept` config key. In Python, `bool("false")` is `True`,
so a user setting `hooks_auto_accept: "false"` (quoted YAML string)
in `config.yaml` would silently enable auto-approval of every shell
hook, bypassing the consent prompt entirely.
Replace the coercion with the same type-aware parsing already used for
the HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS env var three lines above: bool passthrough,
strings checked against {1,true,yes,on} case-insensitively, everything
else (including "false", None, 0, ints) rejected.
Add TestHooksAutoAcceptParsing guarding the regression across all four
value shapes (bool, string-truthy, string-falsy, missing/None).
Reported by @sprmn24 in #16244.
- remove the temporary -c MRU logic and companion test from this branch so PR #15926 stays focused on TUI perf work
- keep the resume-ordering change isolated in the dedicated follow-up PR
CPU profiling showed the built TUI loading React development modules unless NODE_ENV was set. Default CLI and dashboard TUI children to production while preserving explicit user overrides.
When _compress_context rotates session_id (compression split), fire
on_session_start(new_sid, boundary_reason="compression",
old_session_id=<old>) on the active context engine. Plugin engines
(e.g. hermes-lcm) use this to preserve DAG lineage across the rollover
instead of re-initializing fresh per-session state.
Built-in ContextCompressor.on_session_start accepts **kwargs and ignores
them — no behavior change for default users.
Closes hermes-lcm#68 symptom: after Hermes compressed and minted a new
physical session, LCM was treating the split as a fresh /new and losing
continuity (compression_count: 1, store_messages: 0, dag_nodes: 0).

Every working dir hermes ever touches gets its own shadow git repo under
~/.hermes/checkpoints/{sha256(abs_dir)[:16]}/. The per-repo _prune is a
no-op (comment in CheckpointManager._prune says so), so abandoned repos
from deleted/moved projects or one-off tmp dirs pile up forever. Field
reports put the typical offender at 1000+ repos / ~12 GB on active
contributor machines.
Adds an opt-in startup sweep that mirrors the sessions.auto_prune
pattern from #13861 / #16286:
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: new prune_checkpoints() and
maybe_auto_prune_checkpoints() helpers. Deletes shadow repos that
are orphan (HERMES_WORKDIR marker points to a path that no longer
exists) or stale (newest in-repo mtime older than retention_days).
Idempotent via a CHECKPOINT_BASE/.last_prune marker file so it only
runs once per min_interval_hours regardless of how many hermes
processes start up.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new checkpoints.auto_prune /
retention_days / delete_orphans / min_interval_hours knobs.
Default auto_prune: false so users who rely on /rollback against
long-ago sessions never lose data silently.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: startup hooks gated on checkpoints.auto_prune,
called right next to the existing state.db maintenance block.
- Docs updated with the new config knobs.
- 11 regression tests: orphan/stale deletion, precedence, byte-freed
tracking, non-shadow dir skip, interval gating, corrupt marker
recovery.
Refs #3015 (session-file disk growth was fixed in #16286; this covers
the checkpoint side noted out-of-scope there).
The write_file guard added in #16223 used strict equality against the
internal dedup status message. In practice, the model sometimes
prepends a short note or appends a trailing comment before calling
write_file, which slipped past the strict check.
Broaden the heuristic: reject writes whose stripped content equals
the status message OR contains it and is <=2x its length. Short,
status-dominated writes are always corruption; legitimate docs that
quote the message verbatim are always much longer.
Adds two tests: one for the small-wrapper corruption shape, one
confirming large legitimate files that quote the status still write.
write_file_tool and patch_tool both call _update_read_timestamp to
refresh the staleness tracker after writing, but they never invalidate
the dedup cache entries for the written path. The dedup cache keys are
(resolved_path, offset, limit) → mtime tuples populated by read_file_tool.
On filesystems where a read and write land in the same mtime second (or
when mtime granularity is 1s), the cached and current mtime are equal,
so the dedup check incorrectly returns a 'File unchanged since last
read' stub — even though the file was just overwritten.
The agent then sees stale content (or a stale 'File not found' error)
and enters expensive error-recovery loops, burning API calls.
Fix: add _invalidate_dedup_for_path(filepath, task_id) that removes all
dedup entries whose resolved path matches the written file. Called from
_update_read_timestamp so both write_file_tool and patch_tool benefit
automatically. Scoped to the writing task_id — other tasks' caches are
not affected.
6 regression tests added covering:
- read→write→read within same mtime second (core #13144 scenario)
- invalidation across all offset/limit combinations
- isolation: writing file A does not invalidate file B's cache
- isolation: writing in task A does not invalidate task B's cache
- _invalidate_dedup_for_path safety on missing task / empty dedup
All 25 tests pass (19 existing + 6 new).
Fixes#13144
Four independent session-UX bugs reported by an external user (#16294).
/save wrote hermes_conversation_<ts>.json to CWD — invisible to
'hermes sessions browse' and easy to lose. Snapshots now write under
~/.hermes/sessions/saved/ and the command prints the absolute path plus
a 'hermes --resume <id>' hint for the live DB-indexed session.
'hermes sessions browse' default --limit raised from 50 to 500. With the
old ceiling, users with moderately long histories saw only the most
recent 50 rows and assumed older sessions had been lost.
TUI session.list (`/resume` picker) switched from a hardcoded allow-list
of 13 gateway source names to a deny-list of just { 'tool' }. Sessions
tagged acp / webhook / user-defined HERMES_SESSION_SOURCE values and
any newly-added platform now surface. Default limit 20 → 200.
ollama-cloud provider setup passes force_refresh=True to
fetch_ollama_cloud_models() so a user entering their API key sees the
fresh catalog (e.g. deepseek v4 flash, kimi k2.6) immediately instead
of waiting up to an hour for the disk cache TTL to expire.
Closes#16294.
_web_ui_build_needed() in PR #14914 checked web_dir/"dist" as the
sentinel, but vite.config.ts sets outDir: "../hermes_cli/web_dist" so
the build output lands in hermes_cli/web_dist/, never in web/dist/.
The sentinel was therefore always missing → _web_ui_build_needed always
returned True → npm install + Vite build ran on every startup → OOM on
low-memory VPS persisted unchanged.
Fix: derive dist_dir as web_dir.parent / "hermes_cli" / "web_dist" so
the sentinel points to the actual build output directory.
Fixes#14898
When the gateway intercepts a pending /update prompt and the user sends
a recognized slash command (/new, /help, ...), the command now dispatches
normally AND the detached update subprocess is unblocked by writing a
blank .update_response. _gateway_prompt reads '' → strips → returns the
prompt's default (typically a safe 'n' / skip), so the update process
exits cleanly instead of blocking on stdin until the 30-minute watcher
timeout.
Also clears _update_prompt_pending[session_key] on this path so stray
future input for the same session isn't re-intercepted.
Extends PR #15849 with tests for the new cancel-write + a regression
test pinning the legacy behavior of unrecognized /foo slash commands
still being consumed as the response.
Slack Bolt posts are not editable like CLI spinners; medium-tier new still emitted a permanent line per tool start (issue #14663).
- Built-in slack default: off; other tier-2 platforms unchanged.
- Adjust /verbose isolation test for off to new cycle.
- Migration tests: read/write config.yaml as UTF-8 (Windows locale).
- TestAutoMaintenance gains 3 tests: auto-prune deletes transcript files
when sessions_dir is passed, preserves them when it isn't (backward-
compat), and never touches active-session files during prune.
- FakeDB helpers in test_sessions_delete.py accept **kwargs so they
don't break when delete_session signature gains sessions_dir.
Extends the existing channel_skill_bindings mechanism (previously
Discord-only) to Slack, so a channel or DM can auto-load one or more
skills at session start without relying on the model's skill selector
for every short reply.
Motivation: Mats's German flashcards DM pushes a cron-driven card
5x/day; he responds with one-word guesses like 'work'. Previously each
reply required the main agent to decide whether to load german-flashcards
(full opus turn just to pick a skill). With the binding configured per
Slack channel, the skill is injected at session start and grading runs
directly.
Changes:
- Extract resolve_channel_skills() from DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills
into gateway.platforms.base (now shared across adapters).
- DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills delegates to the shared helper
(behavior preserved — existing test suite still passes unchanged).
- SlackAdapter: resolve channel_skill_bindings on each message and attach
auto_skill to MessageEvent. gateway/run.py already handles auto-skill
injection on new sessions; this just wires Slack through it.
- gateway/config.py: accept channel_skill_bindings in slack: block of
config.yaml (was Discord-only).
- Tests: new tests/gateway/test_slack_channel_skills.py with 11 cases
covering DM/thread/parent resolution, single-vs-list skills, dedup,
malformed entries. Discord suite unchanged.
- Docs: add 'Per-Channel Skill Bindings' section to Slack user guide.
Config example:
slack:
channel_skill_bindings:
- id: "D0ATH9TQ0G6"
skills: ["german-flashcards"]
Enter while the agent is busy can now inject the typed text via /steer —
arriving at the agent after the next tool call — instead of interrupting
(current default) or queueing for the next turn.
Changes:
- cli.py: keybinding honors busy_input_mode='steer' by calling
agent.steer(text) on the UI thread (thread-safe), with automatic
fallback to 'queue' when the agent is missing, steer() is unavailable,
images are attached, or steer() rejects the payload. /busy accepts
'steer' as a fourth argument alongside queue/interrupt/status.
- gateway/run.py: busy-message handler and the PRIORITY running-agent
path both route through running_agent.steer() when the mode is 'steer',
with the same fallback-to-queue safety net. Ack wording tells users
their message was steered into the current run. Restart-drain queueing
now also activates for 'steer' so messages aren't lost across restarts.
- agent/onboarding.py: first-touch hint has a steer branch for both
CLI and gateway.
- hermes_cli/commands.py: /busy args_hint updated to include steer,
and 'steer' is registered as a subcommand (completions).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: dashboard select widget offers steer.
- hermes_cli/config.py, cli-config.yaml.example, hermes_cli/tips.py:
inline docs updated.
- website/docs/user-guide/cli.md + messaging/index.md: documented.
- Tests: steer set/status path for /busy; onboarding hints;
_load_busy_input_mode accepts steer; busy-session ack exercises
steer success + two fallback-to-queue branches.

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

Multiple overlapping Slack attachment improvements:
1. Upload retry with backoff on transient errors (429, 5xx, connection
reset, rate_limited, service unavailable). New _is_retryable_upload_error
helper covers three upload paths: _upload_file, send_video,
send_document. Up to 3 attempts with 1.5s * attempt backoff.
2. Thread participation tracking: successful file uploads now add the
thread_ts to _bot_message_ts, mirroring how text replies are tracked.
This lets follow-up thread messages auto-trigger the bot (same
engagement rules as replied threads).
3. Thread metadata preservation in the image redirect-guard fallback
(send_image → send text fallback) and in two gateway.run.py send
paths (image + document fallback calls).
4. HTML response rejection in _download_slack_file_bytes. Parallels
the existing check in _download_slack_file. Guards against Slack
returning a sign-in / redirect page as document bytes when scopes
are missing, so the agent doesn't get HTML-as-a-PDF.
5. File lifecycle event acks (file_shared / file_created / file_change).
These events arrive around snippet uploads. Acking them silences the
slack_bolt 'Unhandled request' 404 warnings without changing behavior.
6. Post-loop message type classification so a mixed image+document upload
classifies as PHOTO (or VOICE if no image), falling back to DOCUMENT.
Previously, the per-file classification in the inbound loop could be
overwritten unpredictably.
7. Expanded text-inject whitelist in inbound document handling to cover
.csv, .json, .xml, .yaml, .yml, .toml, .ini, .cfg (up to 100KB) so
snippets and config files are directly visible to the agent, not just
cached as opaque uploads. Paired with new MIME entries in
SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES in base.py.
Squashed from two commits in #11819 so the single commit carries the
contributor's GitHub attribution (the original commits were authored
under a local dev hostname).
Ports openclaw/openclaw#72038 to hermes-agent.
Telegram's `editMessageText` preserves the original message timestamp,
so a long-running streamed reply (reasoning models that take 60+ seconds
to finish) would keep the first-token timestamp even after completion.
Users can't tell how long a task actually took.
When a preview message has been visible for >= 60s (configurable via
`streaming.fresh_final_after_seconds`), finalize by sending a fresh
message instead of editing in place, then best-effort delete the stale
preview. Short previews still edit in place (the existing fast path).
Implementation notes adapted from OpenClaw's TypeScript original:
- `StreamConsumerConfig` gains `fresh_final_after_seconds` (default 0 =
legacy edit-in-place). Gateway-level `StreamingConfig` defaults to 60.
- `GatewayStreamConsumer` tracks `_message_created_ts` at first-send and
checks it in `_send_or_edit` on `finalize=True`. New helpers
`_should_send_fresh_final` + `_try_fresh_final`.
- `BasePlatformAdapter` gains optional `delete_message(chat_id, message_id)`
returning False by default. `TelegramAdapter` implements it via
`_bot.delete_message`.
- `gateway/run.py` only enables fresh-final for `Platform.TELEGRAM`;
other platforms ignore the setting (they don't have the stale-edit
timestamp problem or edit-then-read works cheaply).
- Fallback to normal edit on any fresh-send failure — no user-visible
regression if Telegram rate-limits a send or the message is gone.
Tests: 15 new cases in tests/gateway/test_stream_consumer_fresh_final.py
covering short/long previews, config plumbing, delete-support absent,
send-failure fallback, __no_edit__ sentinel safety, and StreamingConfig
round-trip.

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

Background review fork now inherits session_id, credential_pool, and

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

Adds a strict_mention config option that, when enabled, requires an
explicit @-mention on every message in channel threads. Disables the
'once mentioned, forever in the thread' and session-presence auto-triggers.
- New _slack_strict_mention() helper (config.extra + SLACK_STRICT_MENTION env)
- Bridged top-level slack.strict_mention yaml to SLACK_STRICT_MENTION env,
matching require_mention/allow_bots bridging
- Unit tests for the helper + config bridge
Top-level channel messages arrive at _resolve_thread_ts with
metadata.thread_id set to the message's own ts, because the inbound
handler in _handle_message_event uses 'event.ts' as a session-keying
fallback when event.thread_ts is absent. That made metadata alone
insufficient to distinguish a real thread reply from a top-level
message, so reply_in_thread=false only took effect in DMs.
Use reply_to (== incoming message_id == ts for top-level messages) as
the tiebreaker: when metadata.thread_id == reply_to the 'thread' is the
synthetic session-keying fallback, not a real parent, so we reply
directly in the channel. Real thread replies (reply_to != thread_id)
still resolve to the parent thread and preserve conversation context.
Closes#9268.

Repeated /queue commands now each produce a full agent turn, in order,
with no merging. Previously the second /queue overwrote the first
because the handler wrote directly into the adapter's single-slot
_pending_messages dict.
- GatewayRunner grows a _queued_events overflow buffer (dict of list).
- /queue puts new items in the adapter's next-up slot when free,
otherwise appends to the overflow. After each run's drain consumes
the slot, the next overflow item is promoted so the recursive run
picks it up.
- /new and /reset clear the overflow.
- /status now reports queue depth when non-zero.
- Ack message shows the depth once it exceeds 1.
Helpers (_enqueue_fifo, _promote_queued_event, _queue_depth) use the
getattr default-fallback pattern so existing tests that build bare
GatewayRunner instances via object.__new__ keep working.
Before: delegate_task children each allocated their own terminal
sandbox keyed by child task_id. Starting extra containers (or Modal
sandboxes / Daytona workspaces) is expensive, and the subagent's work
is invisible to the parent — files written by the child in its
container don't exist in the parent's when the subagent returns.
After: a single `_resolve_container_task_id` helper maps any
tool-call task_id to "default" UNLESS an env override is registered
for it. The parent agent and all delegate_task children therefore
share one long-lived sandbox — installed packages, cwd, /workspace
files, and /tmp scratch carry over freely between them.
RL and benchmark environments (TerminalBench2, HermesSweEnv, ...)
opt in to isolation via `register_task_env_overrides(task_id, {...})`;
those task_ids survive the collapse and get their own sandbox,
preserving the per-task Docker image behavior these benchmarks rely on.
file_state / active-subagents registry / TUI events still key off the
original child task_id, so the 'subagent wrote a file the parent read'
warning and UI per-subagent panels keep working.
Tradeoff: parallel delegate_task children (tasks=[...]) now share one
bash/container. Concurrent cd, env-var mutations, and writes to the
same path will collide. If that bites a specific workflow, the
subagent can opt back into isolation via register_task_env_overrides.

Docs: website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md updated to reflect the
shared-container reality and document the RL/benchmark carve-out.
Tests: tests/tools/test_shared_container_task_id.py (9 cases).
Every command in COMMAND_REGISTRY (/btw, /stop, /model, /help, /new,
/bg, /reset, ...) is now a first-class Slack slash command instead of
a /hermes <subcommand>. Users get the same autocomplete-driven slash
picker experience Slack users expect and that Discord and Telegram
already provide.
Previously Slack registered ONE native slash (/hermes) and split on
the first word, so typing /btw in Slack's composer got 'couldn't find
an app for /btw' because the workspace manifest never declared it.
Changes
- hermes_cli/commands.py: slack_native_slashes() + slack_app_manifest()
generate a Slack manifest from the registry (canonical names +
aliases + plugin commands), clamped to Slack's 50-slash cap with
/hermes reserved as the catch-all.
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: single regex matcher dispatches every
registered slash to _handle_slash_command, which dispatches on
command['command']. Legacy /hermes <subcommand> keeps working for
backward compat with older workspace manifests.
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py + hermes_cli/main.py: new 'hermes slack
manifest' command prints/writes a full manifest (display info,
OAuth scopes, event subs, socket mode, slash commands) ready to
paste into 'Create from manifest' or Features → App Manifest.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: _setup_slack() now writes the manifest up-front
and points users at the 'From an app manifest' flow; also offers
to refresh the manifest on reconfigure for picking up new commands.
- Tests: 14 new tests covering native-slash dispatch (/btw, /stop,
/model), legacy /hermes <sub> compat, manifest structure, and
telegram<->slack parity (every Telegram command must also register
as a Slack slash). Existing /hermes-registration test updated to
assert the new regex matches /hermes, /btw, /stop, /model, /help.
- Docs: slack.md gains a 'Slash Commands' section + Option A manifest
flow in Step 1; cli-commands.md documents 'hermes slack manifest'.
Users pick up the new slashes by running 'hermes slack manifest --write'
and pasting into Features → App Manifest → Edit in their Slack app
config, then Save (Slack prompts for reinstall if scopes changed).
* fix(tui): call maybe_auto_title for TUI sessions (#15961)
The maybe_auto_title() helper is called from cli.py and gateway/run.py
but was never wired into tui_gateway/server.py, so every session started
via 'hermes --tui' landed in state.db with an empty title. Evidence from
the issue reporter: 0/154 TUI sessions titled vs 91/383 CLI.
Mirror the CLI/Gateway pattern: after emitting message.complete, when the
turn finished cleanly, fire-and-forget title generation using the session
key, user prompt, agent response, and current history.
Fixes#15949.

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

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

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

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

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

#14934 added deepseek-v4-pro / deepseek-v4-flash to the DeepSeek native
provider but the context-window lookup still falls back to the existing
"deepseek" substring entry (128K). DeepSeek V4 ships with a 1M context
window, so any caller relying on get_model_context_length() for
pre-flight token budgeting (compression, context warnings) under-counts
by ~8x.
Add explicit lowercase entries for the four DeepSeek model ids that
ship 1M context:
- deepseek-v4-pro
- deepseek-v4-flash
- deepseek-chat (legacy alias, server-side maps to v4-flash non-thinking)
- deepseek-reasoner (legacy alias, server-side maps to v4-flash thinking)
Longest-key-first substring matching means these explicit entries also
cover the vendor-prefixed forms (deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro on OpenRouter
and Nous Portal) without regressing the existing 128K fallback for
older / unknown DeepSeek model ids on custom endpoints.

The background skill-review prompt (spawned after N user turns) now instructs
the reviewer to SURVEY existing skills first, identify the CLASS of task, and
PREFER updating/generalizing an existing skill over creating a new narrow one.
This reduces near-duplicate skill accumulation at the source. Catches the
common failure mode where repeated tasks of the same class each spawn their
own specific skill ("fix-my-tauri-error", "fix-my-electron-error") instead
of a single class-level skill ("desktop-app-build-troubleshooting").
Applied to both _SKILL_REVIEW_PROMPT and the **Skills** half of
_COMBINED_REVIEW_PROMPT. Memory-only review prompt unchanged.
Groundwork for the Curator feature (issue #7816) — the creation-side fix.
Curator handles the retirement/consolidation side in a follow-up PR.
Tests assert the behavioral instructions are present (survey, class, update-
over-create, overlap-flagging, opt-out clause) rather than snapshotting the
full prompt text.
Nous Portal multiplexes multiple upstream providers (DeepSeek, Kimi,
MiMo, Hermes) behind one endpoint. Before this fix, any 429 on any of
those models recorded a cross-session file breaker that blocked EVERY
model on Nous for the cooldown window -- even though the caller's
own RPM/RPH/TPM/TPH buckets were healthy. Users hit a DeepSeek V4 Pro
capacity error, restarted, switched to Kimi 2.6, and still got
'Nous Portal rate limit active -- resets in 46m 53s'.
Nous already emits the full x-ratelimit-* header suite on every
response (captured by rate_limit_tracker into agent._rate_limit_state).
We now gate the breaker on that data: trip it only when either the
429's own headers or the last-known-good state show a bucket with
remaining == 0 AND a reset window >= 60s. Upstream-capacity 429s
(healthy buckets everywhere, but upstream out of capacity) fall
through to normal retry/fallback and the breaker is never written.
Note: the in-memory 'restart TUI/gateway to clear' workaround
circulated in Discord does NOT work -- the breaker is file-backed at
~/.hermes/rate_limits/nous.json. The workaround for users still
affected by a bad state file is to delete it.
Reported in Discord by CrazyDok1 and KYSIV (Apr 2026).
Plugin hooks fired after a tool dispatch now receive an integer
duration_ms kwarg measuring how long the tool's registry.dispatch()
call took (time.monotonic() before/after). Inspired by Claude Code
2.1.119 which added the same field to PostToolUse hook inputs.
Wire points:
- model_tools.py: measure dispatch latency, pass duration_ms to
invoke_hook("post_tool_call", ...) and invoke_hook("transform_tool_result", ...)
- hermes_cli/hooks.py: include duration_ms in the synthetic payload
used by 'hermes hooks test' and 'hermes hooks doctor' so shell-hook
authors see the same shape at development time as runtime
- shell hooks (agent/shell_hooks.py): no code change needed;
_serialize_payload already surfaces non-top-level kwargs under
payload['extra'], so duration_ms lands at extra.duration_ms for
shell-hook scripts
Plugin authors can now build latency dashboards, per-tool SLO alerts,
and regression canaries without having to wrap every tool manually.
Test: tests/test_model_tools.py::test_post_tool_call_receives_non_negative_integer_duration_ms
E2E: real PluginManager + dispatch monkey-patched with a 50ms sleep,
hook callback observes duration_ms=50 (int).

Adds a floor below --yolo: a tiny set of commands so catastrophic they
should never run via the agent, regardless of --yolo, gateway /yolo,
approvals.mode=off, or cron approve mode. Opting into yolo is trusting
the agent with your files and services — not trusting it to wipe the
disk or power the box off.
The list is deliberately small (12 patterns), covering only
unrecoverable ops:
- rm -rf targeting /, /home, /etc, /usr, /var, /boot, /bin, /sbin,
/lib, ~, $HOME
- mkfs (any variant)
- dd + redirection to raw block devices (/dev/sd*, /dev/nvme*, etc.)
- fork bomb
- kill -1 / kill -9 -1
- shutdown, reboot, halt, poweroff, init 0/6, telinit 0/6,
systemctl poweroff/reboot/halt/kexec
Recoverable-but-costly commands (git reset --hard, rm -rf /tmp/x,
chmod -R 777, curl | sh) stay in DANGEROUS_PATTERNS where yolo can
still pass them through — that's what yolo is for.
Container backends (docker/singularity/modal/daytona) continue to
bypass both hardline and dangerous checks, since nothing they do can
touch the host.
Inspired by Mercury Agent's permission-hardened blocklist.
Bare `hermes setup` on a returning user now drops straight into the
full reconfigure wizard — every prompt shows the current value as its
default, press Enter to keep or type a new value to change it. The
returning-user menu is gone.
Behavior:
- First-time user: first-time wizard (unchanged)
- Returning user, bare command: full reconfigure wizard (new default)
- Returning user, `--quick`: only prompt for missing/unset items
- Returning user, one section: `hermes setup model|terminal|gateway|tools|agent`
- `--reconfigure`: preserved as backwards-compat alias (no-op since it's now default)
The section functions already used current values as prompt defaults —
this change just removes the extra click to get to them.
The 'Quick Setup - configure missing items only' menu option is now
exposed as the explicit `--quick` flag; it's the narrow case of
filling in missing config (e.g. after a partial OpenClaw migration or
when a required API key got cleared).
Inspired by Mercury Agent's `mercury doctor` UX.
Also removes:
- RETURNING_USER_MENU_SECTION_KEYS (orphaned constant)
- Two returning-user menu tests in test_setup_noninteractive.py
(guarding behavior that no longer exists — covered by
test_setup_reconfigure.py instead)
The azure-foundry wizard now probes the endpoint before asking the user
to pick anything by hand:
1. URL path sniff — endpoints ending in /anthropic are Azure Foundry
Claude routes and skip to anthropic_messages.
2. GET <base>/models probe — if the endpoint returns an OpenAI-shaped
model list, we switch to chat_completions and prefill the picker
with the returned deployment/model IDs.
3. Anthropic Messages probe — fallback for endpoints that don't expose
/models but do speak the Anthropic Messages shape.
4. Manual fallback — private endpoints / custom routes still work;
the user picks API mode + types a deployment name.
Context length for the selected model is resolved through the existing
agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length chain (models.dev,
provider metadata, hardcoded family fallbacks) and stored in
model.context_length when a non-default value is found.
Also refactors runtime_provider so Azure Foundry resolution is reused
between the explicit-credentials path and the default top-level path —
previously the /v1 strip for Anthropic-style Azure only ran when the
caller passed explicit_* args, which meant config-driven sessions
hit a double-/v1 URL.
New module hermes_cli/azure_detect.py with 19 unit tests covering:
- path sniff, model ID extraction, probe fallbacks
- HTTP error handling (URLError, HTTPError)
- context-length lookup passthrough
- DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT rejection
New runtime tests cover:
- OpenAI-style Azure Foundry
- Anthropic-style Azure Foundry with /v1 stripping
- Missing base_url / API key raising AuthError
Rationale: Microsoft confirms there's no pure-API-key endpoint to list
Azure deployments (that requires ARM management auth). The v1 Azure
OpenAI endpoint does expose /models with the resource's available
model catalog, which is good enough for picker prefill in the common
case. Users on private/gated endpoints fall through to manual entry.
Azure OpenAI exposes an OpenAI-compatible endpoint at
`{resource}.openai.azure.com/openai/v1` that accepts the standard
`openai` Python client. Two issues prevented gpt-5.x models from working:
1. `_max_tokens_param()` only sent `max_completion_tokens` for
`api.openai.com` URLs. Azure also requires `max_completion_tokens`
for gpt-5.x models.
2. The `codex_responses` upgrade gate unconditionally upgraded gpt-5.x
to Responses API. Azure does NOT support the Responses API — it serves
gpt-5.x on the regular `/chat/completions` path, causing a 404.
Fix: add `_is_azure_openai_url()` that matches `openai.azure.com` URLs.
- `_max_tokens_param()` now returns `max_completion_tokens` for Azure.
- The `codex_responses` upgrade gate skips Azure so gpt-5.x stays on
`chat_completions` where Azure actually serves it.
- The fallback-provider api_mode picker also recognises Azure and stays
on chat_completions.
- Tests cover max_tokens routing, api_mode behaviour, and URL detection.
gpt-4.x models on Azure are unaffected (already used chat_completions +
max_tokens, which Azure accepts for those models).
Salvage of PR #10086 — rewritten against current main where the
codex_responses upgrade gate gained copilot-acp / explicit-api_mode
exclusions.
Fixes#15779. Custom-provider per-model context_length (`custom_providers[].models.<id>.context_length`) is now honored across every resolution path, not just agent startup. Also adds 256K as the top probe tier and default fallback.
## What changed
New helper `hermes_cli.config.get_custom_provider_context_length()` — single source of truth for the per-model override lookup, with trailing-slash-insensitive base-url matching.
`agent.model_metadata.get_model_context_length()` gains an optional `custom_providers=` kwarg (step 0b — runs after explicit `config_context_length` but before every other probe).
Wired through five call sites that previously either duplicated the lookup or ignored it entirely:
- `run_agent.py` startup — refactored to use the new helper (dedups legacy inline loop, keeps invalid-value warning)
- `AIAgent.switch_model()` — re-reads custom_providers from live config on every /model switch
- `hermes_cli.model_switch.resolve_display_context_length()` — new `custom_providers=` kwarg
- `gateway/run.py` /model confirmation (picker callback + text path)
- `gateway/run.py` `_format_session_info` (/info)
## Context probe tiers
`CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS = [256_000, 128_000, 64_000, 32_000, 16_000, 8_000]` — was `[128_000, ...]`. `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` follows tier[0], so unknown models now default to 256K. The stale `128000` literal in the OpenRouter metadata-miss path is replaced with `DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` for consistency.
## Repro (from #15779)
```yaml
custom_providers:
- name: my-custom-endpoint
base_url: https://example.invalid/v1
model: gpt-5.5
models:
gpt-5.5:
context_length: 1050000
```
`/model gpt-5.5 --provider custom:my-custom-endpoint` → previously "Context: 128,000", now "Context: 1,050,000".
## Tests
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_custom_provider_context_length.py` — new file, 19 tests covering the helper, step-0b integration, and the 256K tier invariants
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_context_display.py` — added regression tests for #15779 through the display resolver
- `tests/gateway/test_session_info.py` — updated default-fallback assertion (128K → 256K)
- `tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py` — updated tier assertions for the new top tier
Add ability to interrupt a running agent via the runs API. Previously
/v1/runs could start a run and subscribe to events, but there was no
way to cancel it. The new endpoint stores agent and task references
during execution, calls agent.interrupt() to stop LLM calls, then
cancels the asyncio task.
Includes 15 tests covering start, events, and stop scenarios.
When the user interrupts a long-running task, prompt_toolkit tries to
flush stdout during emergency shutdown. If stdout is in a broken state
(redirected to /dev/null, pipe closed, terminal gone), the flush raises
`OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error` which propagates unhandled and
crashes the CLI.
Two defense layers:
1. `_suppress_closed_loop_errors`: add `OSError` with `errno.EIO` to
the asyncio exception handler, matching the existing pattern for
`RuntimeError("Event loop is closed")` and `KeyError("is not
registered")`.
2. Outer `except (KeyError, OSError)` block: add `errno.EIO` check
before the existing string-match guards, silently suppressing the
error instead of printing a misleading stdin-related message.
Fixes#13710.
The raw-template lookup added in PR #15817 went through
`get_compatible_custom_providers(read_raw_config())`, which calls
`_normalize_custom_provider_entry` → `urlparse(base_url)`. Any
entry whose `base_url` is itself an env-ref (`${NEURALWATT_API_BASE}`)
was dropped as 'not a valid URL', so `api_key_ref` stayed empty and the
resolved secret was still written to `model.api_key` — the exact case
the original Discord report described.
Replace the normalizer-gated lookup with a direct read of
`raw['custom_providers']` and `raw['providers']`, indexed by name
(case-insensitive, optionally qualified by model) so the loaded
(expanded) entry can be matched regardless of how `base_url` is
written.
Add an integration regression test driving the real
`select_provider_and_model` entry point with the Discord-reported
NeuralWatt config (`${VAR}` in both `base_url` and `api_key`).
This test fails on the PR-only fix and passes with the broadened
lookup.
Previously _copy_reasoning_content_for_api only padded reasoning_content
when the assistant message had tool_calls. DeepSeek V4 thinking mode
requires the field on every assistant turn, including plain text replies
without tool_calls.
- Remove the 'source_msg.get("tool_calls") and' guard
- Update test: plain assistant turns now get padded for DeepSeek/Kimi
Fixes#15213
- expand short model aliases like sonnet/opus via static catalogs during startup runtime resolution
- keep startup alias resolution network-free and add regression tests in models and tui gateway suites
The Codex Responses API rejects input_text inside assistant messages —
only output_text and refusal are valid content types for assistant role.
_chat_content_to_responses_parts() previously hardcoded all text content
to input_text regardless of the message role. When an assistant message
had list-format content (multimodal or structured), this produced invalid
input_text parts that the API rejected with:
Invalid value: 'input_text'. Supported values are: 'output_text' and 'refusal'.
Fix: add a role parameter to _chat_content_to_responses_parts() that
selects output_text for assistant messages and input_text for user
messages. Thread this through _chat_messages_to_responses_input() and
_preflight_codex_input_items().
Fixes#15687
When a user sends /stop during a streaming API call, the outer poll loop
detects _interrupt_requested and closes the HTTP connection. However, the
inner _call() thread catches the connection error and enters its retry
loop — opening a FRESH connection without checking the interrupt flag.
On slow providers like ollama-cloud, each retry attempt blocks for the
full stream-read timeout (120s+). With 3 retry attempts this caused
510+ second delays between /stop and actual response — the agent appeared
completely unresponsive despite the stop being acknowledged.
Fix: add an _interrupt_requested check at the top of the streaming retry
loop so the agent exits immediately instead of retrying.
Also fix log truncation: all session key logging in gateway/run.py used
[:20] or [:30] slices, which truncated 'agent:main:telegram:dm:5690190437'
(33 chars) to 'agent:main:telegram:' — losing the identifying chat type
and user ID. Replace with full keys to make logs debuggable.
Reported by user Sidharth Pulipaka via Telegram on ollama-cloud provider.
The AIAgent.flush_memories pre-compression save, the gateway
_flush_memories_for_session, and everything feeding them are
obsolete now that the background memory/skill review handles
persistent memory extraction.
Problems with flush_memories:
- Pre-dates the background review loop. It was the only memory-save
path when introduced; the background review now fires every 10 user
turns on CLI and gateway alike, which is far more frequent than
compression or session reset ever triggered flush.
- Blocking and synchronous. Pre-compression flush ran on the live agent
before compression, blocking the user-visible response.
- Cache-breaking. Flush built a temporary conversation prefix
(system prompt + memory-only tool list) that diverged from the live
conversation's cached prefix, invalidating prompt caching. The
gateway variant spawned a fresh AIAgent with its own clean prompt
for each finalized session — still cache-breaking, just in a
different process.
- Redundant. Background review runs in the live conversation's
session context, gets the same content, writes to the same memory
store, and doesn't break the cache. Everything flush_memories
claimed to preserve is already covered.
What this removes:
- AIAgent.flush_memories() method (~248 LOC in run_agent.py)
- Pre-compression flush call in _compress_context
- flush_memories call sites in cli.py (/new + exit)
- GatewayRunner._flush_memories_for_session + _async_flush_memories
(and the 3 call sites: session expiry watcher, /new, /resume)
- 'flush_memories' entry from DEFAULT_CONFIG auxiliary tasks,
hermes tools UI task list, auxiliary_client docstrings
- _memory_flush_min_turns config + init
- #15631's headroom-deduction math in
_check_compression_model_feasibility (headroom was only needed
because flush dragged the full main-agent system prompt along;
the compression summariser sends a single user-role prompt so
new_threshold = aux_context is safe again)
- The dedicated test files and assertions that exercised
flush-specific paths
What this renames (with read-time backcompat on sessions.json):
- SessionEntry.memory_flushed -> SessionEntry.expiry_finalized.
The session-expiry watcher still uses the flag to avoid re-running
finalize/eviction on the same expired session; the new name
reflects what it now actually gates. from_dict() reads
'expiry_finalized' first, falls back to the legacy 'memory_flushed'
key so existing sessions.json files upgrade seamlessly.
Supersedes #15631 and #15638.
Tested: 383 targeted tests pass across run_agent/, agent/, cli/,
and gateway/ session-boundary suites. No behavior regressions —
background memory review continues to handle persistent memory
extraction on both CLI and gateway.
_check_compression_model_feasibility calls get_model_context_length
without provider=, so Codex OAuth users get 1,050,000 (from models.dev
for 'openai') instead of the actual 272,000 limit. This happens because
_infer_provider_from_url maps chatgpt.com → 'openai' (not 'openai-codex'),
skipping the Codex-specific resolution branch entirely.
Result: compression threshold set at 85% of 1.05M = 892K — conversations
never trigger compression, the context grows unbounded, and when gateway
hygiene eventually forces compression, the Codex endpoint drops the
oversized streaming request ('peer closed connection without sending
complete message body').
Fix: forward self.provider to get_model_context_length so provider-
specific resolution branches (Codex OAuth 272K, Copilot live /models,
Nous suffix-match) fire correctly.

* fix(terminal): three-layer defense against watch_patterns notification spam
Background processes that stack notify_on_complete=True with watch_patterns
can flood the user with duplicate, delayed notifications — matches deliver
asynchronously via the completion queue and continue arriving minutes after
the process has exited. The docstring warning against this (PR #12113) has
proven insufficient; agents still misuse the combination.
Three layered defenses, each sufficient on its own:
1. Mutual exclusion (terminal_tool.py): When both flags are set on a
background process, drop watch_patterns with a warning. notify_on_complete
wins because 'let me know when it's done' is the more useful signal and
fires exactly once. Extracted as _resolve_notification_flag_conflict() so
the rule is testable in isolation.
2. Suppress-after-exit (process_registry.py): _check_watch_patterns() now
bails the moment session.exited is True. Post-exit chunks (buffered reads
draining after the process is gone) no longer produce notifications. This
is the fix flagged as future work in session 20260418_020302_79881c.
3. Global circuit breaker (process_registry.py): Per-session rate limits don't
catch the sibling-flood case — N concurrent processes can each stay under
8/10s and still collectively spam. New WATCH_GLOBAL_MAX_PER_WINDOW=15 cap
trips a 30-second cooldown across ALL sessions, emits a single
watch_overflow_tripped event, silently counts dropped events, and emits a
watch_overflow_released summary when the cooldown ends.
Also updates the tool schema + docstring to document the new behavior.
Tests: 8 new tests covering all three fixes (suppress-after-exit x2,
mutual-exclusion resolver x4, global breaker trip/cooldown/release x2).
All 60 tests across test_watch_patterns.py, test_notify_on_complete.py,
test_terminal_tool.py pass.
Real-world trigger: self-inflicted in session 20260425_051924 — three
concurrent hermes-sweeper review subprocesses each set watch_patterns=
['failed validation', 'errored'] AND notify_on_complete=True, then iterated
over multiple items, producing enough matches per process to defeat the
per-session cap while staying under the global cap that didn't yet exist.
* fix(terminal): aggressive 1-per-15s watch_patterns rate limit + strike-3 promotion
Per Teknium's direction, the watch_patterns rate limit is now much more
aggressive and self-healing.
## New rule — per session
- HARD cap: 1 watch-match notification per 15 seconds per process.
- Any match arriving inside the cooldown window is dropped and counts as
ONE strike for that window (many drops in the same window still = 1 strike).
- After 3 consecutive strike windows, watch_patterns is permanently disabled
for the session and the session is auto-promoted to notify_on_complete
semantics — exactly one notification when the process actually exits.
- A cooldown window that expires with zero drops resets the consecutive
strike counter — healthy cadence is forgiven.
## Schema + docstring rewritten
The tool schema description now gives the model explicit guidance:
- notify_on_complete is 'the right choice for almost every long-running task'
- watch_patterns is for RARE one-shot signals on LONG-LIVED processes
- Do NOT use watch_patterns with loops/batch jobs — error patterns fire every
iteration and will hit the strike limit fast
- Mutual exclusion is stated on both parameter descriptions
- 1/15s cooldown and 3-strike promotion are stated in the watch_patterns
description so the model sees the contract every turn
## Removed
- WATCH_MAX_PER_WINDOW (8/10s) and WATCH_OVERLOAD_KILL_SECONDS (45) — the
new 1/15s limit subsumes both; keeping them would double-count.
- _watch_window_hits / _watch_window_start / _watch_overload_since fields
on ProcessSession. Replaced by _watch_last_emit_at / _watch_cooldown_until
/ _watch_strike_candidate / _watch_consecutive_strikes.
## Kept
- Global circuit breaker across all sessions (15/10s → 30s cooldown) as a
secondary safety net for concurrent siblings. Still valuable when 20
short-lived processes each fire once — none individually violates the
per-session limit.
- Suppress-after-exit guard.
- Mutual exclusion resolver at the tool entry point.
## Tests
- 6 new tests in TestPerSessionRateLimit covering: first match delivers,
second in cooldown suppressed, multi-drop = single strike, 3 strikes
disables + promotes, clean window resets counter, suppressed count
carried to next emit.
- Global circuit breaker tests rewritten to use fresh sessions instead of
hacking removed per-window fields.
- 50/50 watch_patterns + notify_on_complete tests pass.
- 60/60 including test_terminal_tool.py pass.
* feat(dashboard): page-scoped plugin slots for built-in pages
Dashboard plugins can now inject components into specific built-in
pages (Sessions, Analytics, Logs, Cron, Skills, Config, Env, Docs,
Chat) without overriding the whole route.
Previously, plugins could only:
1. Add new tabs (tab.path)
2. Replace whole built-in pages (tab.override)
3. Inject into global shell slots (header-*, footer-*, pre-main, ...)
None of those let a plugin add a banner, card, or widget to an
existing page. The new <page>:top / <page>:bottom slots close that
gap, reusing the existing registerSlot() API.
Changes
- web/src/plugins/slots.ts: 18 new KNOWN_SLOT_NAMES entries
(sessions:top, sessions:bottom, analytics:top, ..., chat:bottom),
grouped under "Shell-wide" vs "Page-scoped" in the docblock
- web/src/pages/*: each built-in page now renders
<PluginSlot name="<page>:top" />
as the first child of its outer wrapper and
<PluginSlot name="<page>:bottom" />
as the last child -- zero visual cost when no plugin registers
- plugins/example-dashboard: registers a demo banner into
sessions:top via registerSlot(), with matching slots entry in
the manifest -- so freshly-setup users can see what page-scoped
slots look like without writing any plugin code
- website/docs: new "Page-scoped slots" table in the plugin
authoring guide, with a worked example
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: round-trip test for
colon-bearing slot names (sessions:top, analytics:bottom, ...)
Validation
- npm run build: clean (tsc -b + vite build, 2761 modules)
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestDashboardPluginManifestExtensions: 5/5 pass

`hermes tools` → "reconfigure existing" listed Spotify twice because
the Apr 24 refactor that moved Spotify into plugins/spotify/ (PR #15174)
left the entry in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. _get_effective_configurable_toolsets()
unconditionally appended get_plugin_toolsets() on top, so the same
'spotify' key showed up from both sources.
Dedupe by key — built-in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry wins (it has the
nicer label and description). Also guards against future bundled plugins
that share a toolset key with a built-in.
Generalize the temperature-specific 400 retry that shipped in PR #15621 so
the same reactive strategy covers any provider that rejects an arbitrary
request parameter — — not just temperature.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py:
* New _is_unsupported_parameter_error(exc, param): matches the same six
phrasings the old temperature detector did plus 'unrecognized parameter'
and 'invalid parameter', against any named param.
* _is_unsupported_temperature_error is now a thin back-compat wrapper so
existing imports and tests keep working.
* The max_tokens → max_completion_tokens retry branch in call_llm and
async_call_llm now (a) gates on 'max_tokens is not None' so we do not
pop a key that was never set and silently substitute a None value on
the retry, and (b) also matches the generic helper in addition to the
legacy 'max_tokens' / 'unsupported_parameter' substring checks — picking
up phrasings like 'Unknown parameter: max_tokens' that previously slipped
through.
- tests/agent/test_unsupported_parameter_retry.py: 18 new tests covering
the generic detector across params, the back-compat wrapper, and the two
hardenings to the max_tokens retry branch (None gate + generic phrasing).
Credit: retry-generalization pattern from @nicholasrae's PR #15416. That PR
also proposed the reactive temperature retry which landed independently via
PR #15621 + #15623 (co-authored with @BlueBirdBack). This commit salvages
the remaining hardening ideas onto current main.
When the auxiliary compression model's context is smaller than the main
model's compression threshold, _check_compression_model_feasibility
auto-lowers the session threshold. Previously it set:
new_threshold = aux_context
This let the raw message list grow to exactly aux_context tokens. But
compression and flush_memories actually send system_prompt + tool_schemas
+ messages to the aux model. With 50+ tools that overhead is 25-30K
tokens, so the full request overflowed aux with HTTP 400.
Subtract a headroom estimate from aux_context before setting the new
threshold: the actual tool-schema token count (from
estimate_request_tokens_rough) plus a 12K allowance for the system
prompt (not yet built at __init__ time) and flush-instruction overhead.
Clamp to MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH so the session still starts even with
an unusually heavy tool schema.
This fixes the 'flush_memories overflow on busy toolsets' path that
Teknium flagged — where main and aux can be nominally the same model
but still 400 because the threshold left no room for the request
overhead. Same fix also protects the normal compression summarisation
request on the same binding aux.
Tests: two new regression tests cover the headroom reservation and the
MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH floor. Two existing tests updated for the new
(lower) threshold values now that empty-tools still produces a 12K
static headroom deduction.
Universal reactive fix for 'HTTP 400: Unsupported parameter: temperature'
across all providers/models — not just Codex Responses.
The same backend can accept temperature for some models and reject it for
others (e.g. gpt-5.4 accepts but gpt-5.5 rejects on the same OpenAI
endpoint; similar patterns on Copilot, OpenRouter reasoning routes, and
Anthropic Opus 4.7+ via OAI-compat). An allow/deny-list by model name does
not scale.
call_llm / async_call_llm now detect the concrete 'unsupported parameter:
temperature' 400 and transparently retry once without temperature. Kimi's
server-managed omission and Opus 4.7+'s proactive strip stay in place —
this is the safety net for everything else.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: add _is_unsupported_temperature_error helper;
wire into both sync and async call_llm paths before the existing
max_tokens/payment/auth retry ladder
- tests/agent/test_unsupported_temperature_retry.py: 19 tests covering
detector phrasings, sync + async retry, no-retry-without-temperature,
and non-temperature 400s not triggering the retry
Builds on PR #15620 (codex_responses fallback) which stripped temperature
up front for that one api_mode. This PR closes the gap for every other
provider/model combo via reactive retry.
Credit: retry approach and detector originate from @BlueBirdBack's PR #15578.

The memory-flush fallback for api_mode='codex_responses' was unconditionally
adding `temperature` to codex_kwargs before calling _run_codex_stream. The
Responses API does not accept temperature on any supported backend:
- chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex rejects it outright
- api.openai.com + gpt-5/o-series reasoning models reject it
- Copilot Responses rejects it on reasoning models
The CodexAuxiliaryClient adapter and the codex_responses transport both
correctly omit temperature — the flush fallback was the only path putting
it back. On errors from the primary aux path (e.g. expired OAuth token),
users saw `⚠ Auxiliary memory flush failed: HTTP 400: Unsupported parameter:
temperature`.

Both discord (read/participate) and discord_admin (server admin) are now
configurable via `hermes tools` with default-OFF. Previously the core
discord tool (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread) auto-loaded
on every Discord install with DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN set — 19 tools the user
never opted into.
Adds a platform-scoping mechanism (_TOOLSET_PLATFORM_RESTRICTIONS) so
the discord toolsets only show up in the Discord platform's checklist,
not on CLI/Telegram/Slack/etc. Applied at four gates:
- _prompt_toolset_checklist: checklist filter
- _get_platform_tools: resolution filter (both branches)
- _save_platform_tools: save-time filter (covers 'Configure all
platforms' and hand-edited config.yaml)
- tools_disable_enable_command: rejects `hermes tools enable discord`
on non-Discord platforms with a clear error
build_session_context_prompt now injects the Discord IDs block only
when both conditions hold: the discord/discord_admin toolset is
enabled AND DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN is set. Toolset alone isn't enough —
the tool's check_fn gates on the token at registry time, so opting
in without a token yields no tools and the IDs block would lie.
Otherwise keep the stale-API disclaimer.
The feishu_doc and feishu_drive tools were registered in the tool
registry but never added to the hermes-feishu composite toolset.
The pipeline fix from the prior commit now recovers them automatically
once they are in the composite.
Split the monolithic discord_server tool (14 actions) into two:
- discord: core actions (fetch_messages, search_members, create_thread)
that are useful for the agent's normal operation. Auto-enabled on
the discord platform via the pipeline fix.
- discord_admin: server management actions (list channels/roles, pins,
role assignment) that require explicit opt-in via hermes tools.
Added to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS and _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS.
The reverse-mapping loop in _get_platform_tools only checked
CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS, silently dropping platform-specific toolsets
like discord and feishu_doc whose tools were in the composite but
had no configurable key. Add a second pass over TOOLSETS that picks
up unclaimed toolsets whose tools are present in the resolved
composite.
The tool schema promised 'On update, pass an empty array to clear' but the
update branch ignored the context_from kwarg entirely — users could set
the field at create time and never modify or clear it afterward.
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: handle context_from in the update branch the
same way script/enabled_toolsets/workdir are handled: normalize str/list
to refs, validate each referenced job exists (same check the create
branch does), store as list-or-None to match create_job()'s shape.
Empty string or empty list clears the field.
- tests/cron/test_cron_context_from.py: 6 new tests covering add/change/
clear (both shapes)/bad-ref/preserve-across-unrelated-update.
