Fixes#1445 — When using Docker backend, the user's current working
directory is now automatically bind-mounted to /workspace inside the
container. This allows users to run `cd my-project && hermes` and have
their project files accessible to the agent without manual volume config.
Changes:
- Add host_cwd and auto_mount_cwd parameters to DockerEnvironment
- Capture original host CWD in _get_env_config() before container fallback
- Pass host_cwd through _create_environment() to Docker backend
- Add TERMINAL_DOCKER_NO_AUTO_MOUNT env var to disable if needed
- Skip auto-mount when /workspace is already explicitly mounted
- Add tests for auto-mount behavior
- Add documentation for the new feature
The auto-mount is skipped when:
1. TERMINAL_DOCKER_NO_AUTO_MOUNT=true is set
2. User configured docker_volumes with :/workspace
3. persistent_filesystem=true (persistent sandbox mode)
This makes the Docker backend behave more intuitively — the agent
operates on the user's actual project directory by default.
Salvaged from PR #1104 by kshitijk4poor. Closes#683.
Adds a persistent status bar to the CLI showing model name, context
window usage with visual bar, estimated cost, and session duration.
Responsive layout degrades gracefully for narrow terminals.
Changes:
- agent/usage_pricing.py: shared pricing table, cost estimation with
Decimal arithmetic, duration/token formatting helpers
- agent/insights.py: refactored to reuse usage_pricing (eliminates
duplicate pricing table and formatting logic)
- cli.py: status bar with FormattedTextControl fragments, color-coded
context thresholds (green/yellow/orange/red), enhanced /usage with
cost breakdown, 1Hz idle refresh for status bar updates
- tests/test_cli_status_bar.py: status bar snapshot, width collapsing,
usage report with/without pricing, zero-priced model handling
- tests/test_insights.py: verify zero-priced providers show as unknown
Salvage fixes:
- Resolved conflict with voice status bar (both coexist in layout)
- Import _format_context_length from hermes_cli.banner (moved since PR)

Multiple Hermes installations on the same machine now get unique
systemd service names:
- Default ~/.hermes → hermes-gateway (backward compatible)
- Custom HERMES_HOME → hermes-gateway-<8-char-hash>
Changes:
- Add get_service_name() in hermes_cli/gateway.py that derives a
deterministic service name from HERMES_HOME via SHA256
- Replace all hardcoded 'hermes-gateway' systemd references with
get_service_name() across gateway.py, main.py, status.py, uninstall.py
- Add HERMES_HOME env var to both user and system systemd unit templates
so the gateway process uses the correct installation
- Update tests to use get_service_name() in assertions
When typing /model deepseek-chat while on a different provider, the
model name now auto-resolves to the correct provider instead of
silently staying on the wrong one and causing API errors.
Detection priority:
1. Direct provider with credentials (e.g. DEEPSEEK_API_KEY set)
2. OpenRouter catalog match with proper slug remapping
3. Direct provider without creds (clear error beats silent failure)
Also adds DeepSeek as a first-class API-key provider — just set
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY and /model deepseek-chat routes directly.
Bare model names get remapped to proper OpenRouter slugs:
/model gpt-5.4 → openai/gpt-5.4
/model claude-opus-4.6 → anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
Salvages the concept from PR #1177 by @virtaava with credential
awareness and OpenRouter slug mapping added.

Core fix: Honcho tool calls in a multi-session gateway could route to
the wrong session because honcho_tools.py relied on process-global
state. Now threads session context through the call chain:
AIAgent._invoke_tool() → handle_function_call() → registry.dispatch()
→ handler **kw → _resolve_session_context()
Changes:
- Add _resolve_session_context() to prefer per-call context over globals
- Plumb honcho_manager + honcho_session_key through handle_function_call
- Add sync_honcho=False to run_conversation() for synthetic flush turns
- Pass honcho_session_key through gateway memory flush lifecycle
- Harden gateway PID detection when /proc cmdline is unreadable
- Make interrupt test scripts import-safe for pytest-xdist
- Wrap BibTeX examples in Jekyll raw blocks for docs build
- Fix thread-order-dependent assertion in client lifecycle test
- Expand Honcho docs: session isolation, lifecycle, routing internals
Dropped from original PR:
- Indentation change in _create_request_openai_client that would move
client creation inside the lock (causes unnecessary contention)

default group and channel sessions to per-user isolation, allow opting back into shared room sessions via config.yaml, and document Discord gateway routing and session behavior.
Include participant identifiers in non-DM session keys when available so group and channel conversations no longer share one transcript across every active user in the chat.
Add _ensure_ssl_certs() that discovers CA certificate bundles before any
HTTP library is imported. Resolution order:
1. Python's ssl.get_default_verify_paths()
2. certifi (if installed)
3. Common distro/macOS paths
Only sets SSL_CERT_FILE if not already present in the environment.
Wrapped in a function (called immediately) to avoid polluting module

* fix(agent): skip reasoning extra_body for models that don't support it
Sending reasoning config to models like MiniMax or Nvidia via OpenRouter
causes a 400 BadRequestError. Previously, reasoning extra_body was sent
to all OpenRouter and Nous models unconditionally.
Fix: only send reasoning extra_body when the model slug starts with a
known reasoning-capable prefix (deepseek/, anthropic/, openai/, x-ai/,
google/gemini-2, qwen/qwen3) or when using Nous Portal directly.
Applies to both the main API call path (_build_api_kwargs) and the
conversation summary path.

- Add 'emoji' field to ToolEntry and 'get_emoji()' to ToolRegistry
- Add emoji= to all 50+ registry.register() calls across tool files
- Add get_tool_emoji() helper in agent/display.py with 3-tier resolution:
skin override → registry default → hardcoded fallback
- Replace hardcoded emoji maps in run_agent.py, delegate_tool.py, and
gateway/run.py with centralized get_tool_emoji() calls
- Add 'tool_emojis' field to SkinConfig so skins can override per-tool
emojis (e.g. ares skin could use swords instead of wrenches)
- Add 11 tests (5 registry emoji, 6 display/skin integration)
- Update AGENTS.md skin docs table
Based on the approach from PR #1061 by ForgingAlex (emoji centralization
in registry). This salvage fixes several issues from the original:
- Does NOT split the cronjob tool (which would crash on missing schemas)
- Does NOT change image_generate toolset/requires_env/is_async
- Does NOT delete existing tests
- Completes the centralization (gateway/run.py was missed)
- Hooks into the skin system for full customizability
SSH persistent shell now defaults to true — non-local backends benefit
most from state persistence across execute() calls. Local backend
remains opt-in via TERMINAL_LOCAL_PERSISTENT env var.
New config.yaml option: terminal.persistent_shell (default: true)
Controls the default for non-local backends. Users can disable with:
hermes config set terminal.persistent_shell false
Precedence: per-backend env var > TERMINAL_PERSISTENT_SHELL > default.
Wired through cli.py, gateway/run.py, and hermes_cli/config.py so the
config.yaml value reaches terminal_tool via env var bridge.
Fixes#1036
After adding an MCP server to config.yaml, users had to restart Hermes
before the new tools became visible — even though /reload-mcp existed.
Add _check_config_mcp_changes() called from process_loop every 5s:
- stat() config.yaml for mtime changes (fast path, no YAML parse)
- On mtime change, parse and compare mcp_servers section
- If mcp_servers changed, auto-trigger _reload_mcp() and notify user
- Skip check while agent is running to avoid interrupting tool calls
- Throttled to CONFIG_WATCH_INTERVAL=5s to avoid busy-polling
/reload-mcp still works for manual force-reload.
Tests: 6 new tests in TestMCPConfigWatch, all passed

Restore the existing vLLM integration test module that was accidentally replaced during development and add a focused agent-loop regression test for dict tool-call arguments from OpenAI-compatible local backends.
Normalize tool call arguments when OpenAI-compatible backends return parsed dict/list payloads instead of JSON strings. This prevents the .strip() crash during tool-call validation for llama.cpp and similar servers, while preserving existing empty-string and invalid-JSON handling. Adds a focused regression test for dict arguments in the agent loop.
Two changes to align Discord behavior with Slack:
1. Auto-thread on @mention (default: true)
- When someone @mentions the bot in a server channel, a thread is
automatically created from their message and the response goes there.
- Each thread gets its own isolated session (like Slack).
- Configurable via discord.auto_thread in config.yaml (default: true)
or DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var (env takes precedence).
- DMs and existing threads are unaffected.
2. Skip @mention in bot-participated threads
- Once the bot has responded in a thread (auto-created or manually
entered), subsequent messages in that thread no longer require
@mention. Users can just type normally.
- Tracked via in-memory set (_bot_participated_threads). After a
gateway restart, users need to @mention once to re-establish.
- Threads the bot hasn't participated in still require @mention.
Config change:
discord:
auto_thread: true # new, added to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Tests: 7 new tests covering auto-thread default, disable, bot thread
participation tracking, and mention skip logic. All 903 gateway tests pass.
When a cronjob is created from within a Telegram or Slack thread,
deliver=origin was posting to the parent channel instead of the thread.
Root cause: the gateway never set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID in the
session environment, so cronjob_tools.py could not capture thread_id
into the job's origin metadata — even though the scheduler already
reads origin.get('thread_id').
Fix:
- gateway/run.py: set HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID when thread_id is
present on the session context, and clear it in _clear_session_env
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: read HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID into origin
Closes#1219
Hermes startup entrypoints now load ~/.hermes/.env and project fallback env files with user config taking precedence over stale shell-exported values. This makes model/provider/base URL changes in .env actually take effect after restarting Hermes. Adds a shared env loader plus regression coverage, and reproduces the original bug case where OPENAI_BASE_URL and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER remained stuck on old shell values before import.
Add an explicit messaging-extra install hint to the missing PyNaCl/davey error path, cover it with a voice-channel join regression test, and skip the low-level NaCl packet tests when PyNaCl is not installed locally.
Tests cover the actual code paths changed in voice fixes:
_on_packet DAVE passthrough (8 tests):
- Known SSRC + DAVE decrypt success → buffered
- Unknown SSRC + DAVE → skip DAVE, passthrough to Opus
- DAVE "Unencrypted" error → passthrough, not dropped
- DAVE other error → packet dropped
- No DAVE session → direct decode
- Bot's own SSRC → ignored (echo prevention)
- Multiple SSRCs → separate buffers
SSRC auto-mapping (6 tests):
- Single allowed user → auto-mapped
- Multiple allowed users → no auto-map
- No allowlist → sole non-bot member inferred
- Unallowed user → rejected
- Only bot in channel → no map
- Auto-map persists across checks
Buffer lifecycle (4 tests):
- Known SSRC completed utterance
- Short buffer ignored
- Recent audio waits
- Stale unknown buffer discarded
TTS playback (10 tests):
- play_tts calls play_in_voice_channel in VC
- play_tts falls through when not in VC
- play_tts wrong channel no match
- Voice input dedup (runner skips)
- Text + voice_mode combinations
- Error/empty response skipped
- Agent TTS tool dedup
UDP keepalive (2 tests):
- Interval within bounds
- Silence frame actually sent via send_packet
play_tts was returning success without playing anything when bot was
in a voice channel. Now it calls play_in_voice_channel directly.
Simplified skip_double dedup: base adapter handles voice input TTS
via play_tts (which now works for VC), runner skips to avoid double.
Track adapter background message-processing tasks, cancel them during gateway shutdown, and interrupt running agents before disconnecting adapters. This prevents old gateway instances from continuing in-flight work after stop/replace, which was contributing to the restart-time task continuation/flicker behavior reported in #1414. Adds regression coverage for adapter task cancellation and shutdown interrupts.
Resolve session IDs by exact match or unique prefix for sessions delete/export/rename so IDs copied from Preview Last Active Src ID

_save_platform_tools() overwrote the entire platform_toolsets list with
only the toolsets known to CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS. This silently dropped
any MCP server toolsets that users had added manually to config.yaml.
Fix: collect any existing toolset keys that are not in CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS
and append them back after the wizard's selections are written. This ensures
MCP toolsets survive a hermes tools save.
Fixes#1247
Extend subprocess env sanitization beyond provider credentials by blocking Hermes-managed tool, messaging, and related gateway runtime vars. Reuse a shared sanitizer in LocalEnvironment and ProcessRegistry so background and PTY processes honor the same blocklist and _HERMES_FORCE_ escape hatch. Add regression coverage for local env execution and process_registry spawning.
Update interrupt-key expectations for namespaced DM session keys and add a regression test that different DM chat IDs produce distinct gateway sessions.
- add regression coverage for BaseException cleanup in atomic_json_write

Salvaged from PR #1292 onto current main. Preserve per-job model,
provider, and base_url overrides in cron execution, persist them in
job records, expose them through the cronjob tool create/update paths,
and add regression coverage. Deliberately does not persist per-job
api_key values.
Store the pending OAuth state and code verifier between --auth-url and --auth-code so the manual headless flow can reuse Flow.fetch_token() without disabling PKCE.
- add stt.enabled to the default user config
- make transcription_tools respect the disabled flag globally
- surface disabled state cleanly in voice mode diagnostics
- add regression coverage for disabled STT provider selection

- preserve the flag in GatewayConfig serialization
- skip gateway voice transcription when STT is disabled
- add regression tests for config loading and disabled transcription flow
pattern_key was derived by splitting the regex on \b and taking [1],
so patterns starting with the same word (e.g. find -exec rm and
find -delete) produced the same key "find". Approving one silently
approved the other. Using the unique description string as the key
eliminates all collisions.
The fork bomb regex used `()` (empty capture group) and unescaped `{}`
instead of literal `\(\)` and `\{\}`. This meant the classic fork bomb
`:(){ :|:& };:` was never detected. Also added `\s*` between `:` and
`&` and between `;` and trailing `:` to catch whitespace variants.
When the Responses API returns tool call arguments as a dict,
str(dict) produces Python repr with single quotes (e.g. {'key': 'val'})
which is invalid JSON. Downstream json.loads() fails silently and the
tool gets called with empty arguments, losing all parameters.
Affects both function_call and custom_tool_call item types in
_normalize_codex_response().
Salvaged from PR #1115 onto current main by reusing the shared
Discord file-attachment helper for local video and document sends,
including file_name support for documents and regression coverage.
Use per-request OpenAI clients inside _interruptible_api_call so interrupts and transport failures do not poison later retries. Also add closed-client detection/recreation for the shared client and regression tests covering retry and concurrency behavior.
Use Path.relative_to-based containment checks for the salvaged .worktreeinclude guard, remove the replayed test logic from the cherry-picked PR, and add real integration regressions for file, directory, and symlink escapes.
Resolve .worktreeinclude entries and validate that both the source path
stays within the repository root and the destination path stays within
the worktree directory before copying files or creating symlinks.
A malicious .worktreeinclude in a cloned repository could previously
reference paths like "../../etc/passwd" to copy or symlink arbitrary
files from outside the repo into the worktree.

- Add background thread mechanism (prefetch_update_check/get_update_result)
so git fetch runs in parallel with skill sync and agent init
- Fix repo path fallback in check_for_updates() for dev installs
- Remove duplicate build_welcome_banner (~180 lines) and
_format_context_length from cli.py — the banner.py version is
now the single source of truth
- Port skin banner_hero/banner_logo support and terminal width check
from cli.py's version into banner.py
- Add update status output to hermes version command
- Add unit tests for update check, prefetch, and version string
Add regression coverage for gateway and CLI /retry behavior so retried messages replace the original user turn instead of accumulating duplicate user entries in history.
Add base_url/api_key overrides for auxiliary tasks and delegation so users can
route those flows straight to a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint without
having to rely on provider=main or named custom providers.
Also clear gateway session env vars in test isolation so the full suite stays
deterministic when run from a messaging-backed agent session.
Moonshot (legacy key) users were shown kimi-for-coding and
kimi-k2-thinking-turbo which only work on the Coding Plan endpoint
(api.kimi.com/coding/v1). Add a separate "moonshot" model list that
excludes plan-specific models.
Resolve cron auto-delivery targets after reloading .env so bare-platform deliveries pick up home-channel settings before the agent run. Add a regression test for the dotenv-backed home-channel path and clean up scheduler tests that were leaking un-awaited send coroutines.
Allow cron runs to keep using send_message for additional destinations, but
skip same-target sends when the scheduler will already auto-deliver the final
response there. Add prompt/tool guidance, docs, and regression coverage for
origin/home-channel resolution and thread-aware comparisons.
Salvaged PR #1052 onto current main with the contributor commit preserved plus a small follow-up for current-main conflict resolution and safe command quoting.
The fake_popen mock used iter([]) for proc.stdout which doesn't
support .close(). Use MagicMock with __iter__ instead, since
_drain_stdout now calls proc.stdout.close() in its finally block.

Cancel any queued media-group flush tasks during Telegram adapter disconnect
and clear the buffered events map so shutdown can't leave a pending album
flush behind. Add a regression test covering disconnect before the debounce
window expires.
`hermes update` crashed with CalledProcessError when run on a local-only
branch (e.g. fix/stoicneko) because `git rev-list HEAD..origin/{branch}`
fails when origin/{branch} doesn't exist. Now verifies the remote branch
exists first and falls back to origin/main.
When shutil.which('hermes') returns None, _resolve_hermes_bin() now tries
sys.executable -m hermes_cli.main as a fallback. This handles setups where
Hermes is launched via a venv or module invocation and the hermes symlink is
not on PATH for the gateway process.
Fixes#1049
Telegram albums arrive as multiple updates with a shared media_group_id.
Previously each image triggered a separate MessageEvent, causing the agent
to interrupt itself when describing the first image.
- Add 0.8s debounce window for media group items
- Merge attachments into single MessageEvent
- Add regression test for photo album buffering
Move the dangerous-command header onto its own line inside the approval box
so the panel border no longer cuts through it, and restore the long-command
expand path in the active prompt_toolkit approval callback. The CLI already
had a merged 'view full command' feature in fallback/gateway paths, but the
live TUI callback was still using an older choice set and never exposed it.
Add regression tests for long-command view state, in-place expansion, and
panel rendering.
Fixes#1005
Without linger, user-level systemd services stop when the SSH session
ends — even though systemctl --user status shows active (running).
Changes to systemd_install():
- Try loginctl enable-linger automatically (succeeds when the process
has the required privileges)
- If loginctl fails (no privileges), print a clear, copy-pasteable
warning with the exact command the user must run
New helper: _ensure_linger_enabled()
- Fast path: checks /var/lib/systemd/linger/<user> (no subprocess)
- Auto-enable: loginctl enable-linger <user>
- Fallback: actionable warning with sudo command + restart instructions
Tests: 4 new tests in TestEnsureLingerEnabled, 205 passed total
Remove diary-style memory framing from the system prompt and memory tool
schema, explicitly steer task/session logs to session_search, and clarify
that session_search is for cross-session recall after checking the current
conversation first. Add regression tests for the updated guidance text.
Unify browser session teardown so manual close, inactivity cleanup, and emergency shutdown all follow the same cleanup path instead of partially duplicating logic.
This changes browser_close() to delegate to cleanup_browser(), which means recording shutdown, Browserbase release, activity bookkeeping cleanup, and local socket-directory removal now happen consistently. It also updates emergency cleanup to route through cleanup_all_browsers() and explicitly clear in-memory tracking state after teardown so stale active-session, last-activity, and recording entries are not left behind on exit.
The screenshot fallback path has also been fixed. _extract_screenshot_path_from_text() now matches real absolute PNG paths, including quoted output, so browser_vision() can recover screenshots when agent-browser emits human-readable text instead of JSON.
Regression coverage was added in tests/tools/test_browser_cleanup.py for screenshot path extraction, cleanup_browser() state removal, browser_close() delegation, and emergency cleanup state clearing.
Verified with:
- python -m pytest tests/tools/test_browser_cleanup.py -q

Normalize summary-model content before stripping so empty or non-string
responses do not trigger retry/fallback paths. Adds sync and async
regression tests for None content.
Salvages the two still-relevant fixes from PR #993 onto current main:

Adds regression tests for both behaviors.
Add regression coverage for the new provider-aware vision setup flow and make the default OpenAI choice write AUXILIARY_VISION_MODEL so auxiliary vision requests don't fall back to the main model slug.
Update the unknown-subcommand config help output to use placeholder syntax too,
and extend the placeholder regression tests to cover show_config() and that
fallback help path.
CI failure: test_skill_command_prefix_matches raised AttributeError because
HermesCLI.__new__ skips __init__, leaving session_id and _pending_input unset.
These are accessed when skill command dispatch runs in the CI environment.
Per teknium1 review on PR #968:
1. Guard against infinite recursion: if expanded name equals the typed
token (already exact), fall through to Unknown command instead of
redispatching the same string forever.
2. Include skill slash commands in prefix resolution so execution-time
matching agrees with tab-completion (set(COMMANDS) | set(_skill_commands)).
3. Add missing test cases:
- unambiguous prefix with extra args does not recurse
- exact command with args does not loop
- skill command prefix matches correctly
- exact builtin takes priority over skill prefix ambiguity
8 tests passing.
Slash commands previously required exact full names. Typing /con
returned 'Unknown command' even though /config was the only match.
Add unambiguous prefix matching in process_command():
- Unique prefix (e.g. /con -> /config): dispatch immediately
- Ambiguous prefix (e.g. /re -> /reset, /retry, /reasoning...):
show 'Did you mean' suggestions
- No match: existing 'Unknown command' error
Prefix matching uses the COMMANDS dict from hermes_cli/commands.py
(same source as SlashCommandCompleter) so it stays in sync with
any new commands added there.

timestamps are still recognized as due under large timezone mismatches.
Prevent gateway.platforms.discord from crashing at import time when discord.py is unavailable. Python 3.11 eagerly evaluates annotations, so using discord.Interaction and similar annotations caused an AttributeError after the optional import fallback set discord=None.

Round out the skills hub integration with:
- richer skills.sh metadata and security surfacing during inspect/install
- generic check/update flows for hub-installed skills
- support for well-known Agent Skills endpoints via /.well-known/skills/index.json
Also persist upstream bundle metadata in the lock file and add
regression coverage plus live-compatible path handling for both
skills.sh aliases and well-known endpoints.
Seed ~/.hermes/SOUL.md when missing, load SOUL only from HERMES_HOME, and inject raw SOUL content without wrapper text. If the file exists but is empty, nothing is added to the system prompt.

- add regression coverage for single-query state initialization
Tests were still mocking imap.search() and imap.fetch() but the
implementation was changed to use imap.uid("search", ...) and
imap.uid("fetch", ...) for proper UID-based IMAP operations.
Add a skills.sh-backed source adapter for the Hermes Skills Hub.
The new adapter uses skills.sh search results for discovery, falls back to
featured homepage links for browse-style queries, and resolves installs /
inspects through the underlying GitHub repo using common Agent Skills
layout conventions. Also expose skills-sh in CLI source filters and add
regression coverage for search, alias resolution, and source routing.
Extend the salvaged MCP filtering work so utility tools are also governed by policy and server capabilities. Store the registered tool subset per server so rediscovery and status reporting stay accurate after filtering.
The greedy `.*` captures with `re.DOTALL` cause `findall()` to merge
multiple tool calls into a single match — silently dropping all but the
last tool call. Switching to `.*?` (non-greedy) fixes extraction when
models return multiple tool calls in one response.
Adds test coverage for the DeepSeek V3 parser including a multi-tool
call regression test.

- keep CLI voice prefixes API-local while storing the original user text
- persist explicit gateway off state and restore adapter auto-TTS suppression on restart
- add regression coverage for both behaviors
Add optional config keys under each mcp_servers entry:
- tools.include: whitelist, only listed tools are registered
- tools.exclude: blacklist, all tools except listed are registered
- enabled: false: skip server entirely, no connection attempt
Backward-compatible: no config keys = all tools registered as before.

* fix(gateway): surface missing linger in status and doctor
Warn when a systemd user gateway service has linger disabled so users can
spot the common 'gateway sleeps after logout' deployment issue from both
hermes doctor and hermes gateway status.
* fix(gateway): check linger status after install
After installing the systemd user service, report whether linger is
already enabled instead of always printing the generic hint. This makes
post-install guidance match the user's actual deployment state.

The rebase added voice prompt checks to _get_tui_prompt_fragments but
the test stub was missing _voice_recording, _voice_processing and
_voice_mode attributes, causing AttributeError.
1. Anthropic + ElevenLabs TTS silence: forward full response to TTS
callback for non-streaming providers (choices first, then native
content blocks fallback).
2. Subprocess timeout kill: play_audio_file now kills the process on
TimeoutExpired instead of leaving zombie processes.
3. Discord disconnect cleanup: leave all voice channels before closing
the client to prevent leaked state.
4. Audio stream leak: close InputStream if stream.start() fails.
5. Race condition: read/write _on_silence_stop under lock in audio
callback thread.
6. _vprint force=True: show API error, retry, and truncation messages
even during streaming TTS.
7. _refresh_level lock: read _voice_recording under _voice_lock.
The mock's app_commands SimpleNamespace lacked choices and Choice attrs,
causing xdist test ordering failures when this mock loaded before
test_discord_slash_commands.
1. Gate _streaming_api_call to chat_completions mode only — Anthropic and
Codex fall back to _interruptible_api_call. Preserve Anthropic base_url
across all client rebuild paths (interrupt, fallback, 401 refresh).
2. Discord VC synthetic events now use chat_type="channel" instead of
defaulting to "dm" — prevents session bleed into DM context.
Authorization runs before echoing transcript. Sanitize @everyone/@here
in voice transcripts.
3. CLI voice prefix ("[Voice input...]") is now API-call-local only —
stripped from returned history so it never persists to session DB or
resumed sessions.
4. /voice off now disables base adapter auto-TTS via _auto_tts_disabled_chats
set — voice input no longer triggers TTS when voice mode is off.
Remove web UI gateway (web.py, tests, docs, toolset, env vars, Platform.WEB
enum) per maintainer request — Nous is building their own official chat UI.
Fix 1: Replace sd.wait() with polling pattern in play_audio_file() to prevent
indefinite hang when audio device stalls (consistent with play_beep()).
Fix 2: Use importlib.util.find_spec() for faster_whisper/openai availability
checks instead of module-level imports that trigger heavy native library
loading (CUDA/cuDNN) at import time.
Fix 3: Remove inspect.signature() hack in _send_voice_reply() — add **kwargs
to Telegram send_voice() so all adapters accept metadata uniformly.
Fix 4: Make session loading resilient to removed platform enum values — skip
entries with unknown platforms instead of crashing the entire gateway.
Voice status was hardcoded to check API keys only. Now uses the actual
provider resolution (local/groq/openai) so it correctly shows
"local faster-whisper" when installed instead of "Groq" or "MISSING".
Merge main's faster-whisper (local, free) with our Groq support into a
unified three-provider STT pipeline: local > groq > openai.
Provider priority ensures free options are tried first. Each provider
has its own transcriber function with model auto-correction, env-
overridable endpoints, and proper error handling.
74 tests cover the full provider matrix, fallback chains, model
correction, config loading, validation edge cases, and dispatch.
When bound to 127.0.0.1, only show localhost URL instead of listing
unreachable network interfaces. Add hint about WEB_UI_HOST=0.0.0.0
for phone/tablet access. Add VPN/multi-interface and token exposure
tests (11 new tests).
- Path traversal sanitization (Path.name strips ../)
- Media endpoint authentication (401 without token, 404 on traversal)
- hmac.compare_digest usage verification (no == for tokens)
- DOMPurify XSS prevention in HTML template
- Default bind 127.0.0.1 (adapter and config)
- /remote-control token hiding in group chats
- Opus find_library instead of hardcoded paths
- Opus decode error logging (no silent swallow)
- Interrupt _vprint force=True on all 6 calls
- Anthropic interrupt handler in both API call paths
- Update test_web_defaults for new 127.0.0.1 default
Duplicated YAML config parsing for stt.model existed in gateway/run.py
and gateway/platforms/discord.py. Moved to a single helper in
transcription_tools.py and added 5 tests covering all edge cases.
1. VoiceReceiver.stop() now acquires _lock before clearing shared state
to prevent race with _on_packet on the socket reader thread
2. _packet_debug_count moved from class-level to instance-level to avoid
cross-instance race condition in multi-guild setups
3. play_in_voice_channel uses asyncio.get_running_loop() instead of
deprecated asyncio.get_event_loop()
4. _send_voice_reply uses uuid for filenames instead of time-based names
that can collide when two replies happen in the same second
5. Voice timeout now notifies runner via _on_voice_disconnect callback
so runner cleans up _voice_mode state (prevents orphaned TTS replies)
6. play_in_voice_channel adds PLAYBACK_TIMEOUT (120s) to prevent
infinite blocking when FFmpeg callback is never called
7. _send_voice_reply moves temp file cleanup to finally block so files
are always cleaned up even when send_voice/play raises
8. Base adapter auto-TTS wraps play_tts in try/finally with os.remove
to clean up generated audio files after playback
18 new tests (120 total voice tests)
- Add lock protection around VoiceReceiver buffer writes in _on_packet
to prevent race condition with check_silence on different threads
- Wire _voice_input_callback BEFORE join_voice_channel to avoid
losing voice input during the join window
- Add try/except around leave_voice_channel to ensure state cleanup
(voice_mode, callback) even if leave raises an exception
- Guard against empty text after markdown stripping in base.py auto-TTS
- Add 11 tests proving each bug and verifying the fix
- Import from tools.tts_tool instead of reimplementing the logic
- Fix test_truncates_long_text: truncation is the caller's job, not the function's
- Remove unused re import
When bot is in a Discord voice channel, both base auto-TTS and Discord
play_tts override skip audio. The skip_double guard was also blocking
the runner's _send_voice_reply, resulting in zero audio output in VC.
Now skip_double is overridden when the bot is actively connected to a
voice channel, allowing play_in_voice_channel to handle TTS.
Add comprehensive test matrix covering all platform x input x mode
combinations with full decision table documentation.
- Update TestAutoVoiceReply to include skip_double logic: voice input
is handled by base adapter auto-TTS, gateway runner skips to prevent
duplicate audio
- Add TestDiscordPlayTtsSkip: verifies Discord adapter skips play_tts
when bot is in a voice channel (VC playback handled by runner)
- Add TestWebPlayTts: verifies Web adapter sends invisible play_audio
instead of voice bubble
play_tts base class forwards metadata via **kwargs to send_voice,
but Discord and Slack adapters did not accept extra keyword arguments,
causing TypeError and silent message handling failure.
Also fix test_web_defaults to patch correct env var (WEB_UI_TOKEN).
- Register /voice as Discord slash command with mode choices
- Fix _send_voice_reply to handle adapters that don't accept metadata
parameter (Discord) by inspecting the method signature at runtime
- /voice on: reply with voice when user sends voice messages
- /voice tts: reply with voice to all messages
- /voice off: disable, text-only replies
- /voice status: show current mode
- Per-chat state persisted to gateway_voice_mode.json
- Dedup: skips auto-reply if agent already called text_to_speech tool
- drop_pending_updates=True to ignore stale Telegram messages on restart
- 25 tests covering command handler, reply logic, and edge cases
- Keep InputStream alive across recordings to avoid CoreAudio hang on
repeated open/close cycles on macOS. New _ensure_stream() creates the
stream once; start()/stop()/cancel() only toggle frame collection.
- Add _close_stream_with_timeout() with daemon thread to prevent
stream.stop()/close() from blocking indefinitely.
- Add generation counter to detect stale stream-open completions after
cancel or restart.
- Run recorder.cancel() in background thread from Ctrl+C handler to
keep the event loop responsive.
- Add shutdown() method called on /voice off to release audio resources.
- Fix silence timer reset during active speech: use dip tolerance for
_resume_start tracker so natural speech pauses (< 0.3s) don't prevent
the silence timer from being reset.
- Update tests to match persistent stream behavior.
- process_loop's continuous mode restart called _voice_start_recording()
directly, blocking the loop if play_beep/sd.wait hangs — queued user
input would stall silently. Dispatch to daemon thread like Ctrl+B handler.
- Replace print() with _cprint() in _handle_voice_command for consistency
with the rest of the voice mode code.
The handle_voice_record key binding runs in prompt_toolkit's event-loop
thread. When silence auto-stopped recording, _voice_recording was False
but recorder.stop() still held AudioRecorder._lock. A concurrent Ctrl+B
press entered the START path and blocked on that lock, freezing all
keyboard input.
Three changes:
- Set _voice_processing atomically with _voice_recording=False in
_voice_stop_and_transcribe to close the race window
- Add _voice_processing guard in the START path to prevent starting
while stop/transcribe is still running
- Dispatch _voice_start_recording to a daemon thread so play_beep
(sd.wait) and AudioRecorder.start (lock acquire) never block the
event loop
browser_tool.py registered SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers that called sys.exit()
at module import time. When a signal arrived during a lock acquisition
(e.g. AudioRecorder._lock in voice mode), SystemExit was raised inside
prompt_toolkit's async event loop, corrupting coroutine state and making
the process unkillable (required SIGKILL).
atexit handler already ensures browser sessions are cleaned up on any
normal exit path, so the signal handlers were redundant and harmful.
- edge_tts NameError: _generate_edge_tts now calls _import_edge_tts()
instead of referencing bare module name (tts_tool.py)
- TTS thread leak: chat() finally block sends sentinel to text_queue,
sets stop_event, and joins tts_thread on exception paths (cli.py)
- output_stream leak: moved close() into finally block so audio device
is released even on exception (tts_tool.py)
- Ctrl+C continuous mode: cancel handler now resets _voice_continuous
to prevent auto-restart after user cancels recording (cli.py)
- _disable_voice_mode: now calls stop_playback() and sets
_voice_tts_done so TTS stops when voice mode is turned off (cli.py)
- _show_voice_status: reads record key from config instead of
hardcoding Ctrl+B (cli.py)
Bug A: Replace stale _HAS_ELEVENLABS/_HAS_AUDIO boolean imports with
lazy import function calls (_import_elevenlabs, _import_sounddevice).
The old constants no longer exist in tts_tool -- the try/except
silently swallowed the ImportError, leaving streaming TTS dead.
Bug B: Use user message prefix instead of modifying system prompt for
voice mode instruction. Changing ephemeral_system_prompt mid-session
invalidates the prompt cache. Now the concise-response hint is
prepended to the user_message passed to run_conversation while
conversation_history keeps the original text.
Minor: Add force parameter to _vprint so critical error messages
(max retries, non-retryable errors, API failures) are always shown
even during streaming TTS playback.
Tests: 15 new tests in test_voice_cli_integration.py covering all
three fixes -- lazy import activation, message prefix behavior,
history cleanliness, system prompt stability, and AST verification
that all critical _vprint calls use force=True.
1. Fully lazy imports: sounddevice, numpy, elevenlabs, edge_tts, and
openai are never imported at module level. Each is imported only when
the feature is explicitly activated, preventing crashes in headless
environments (SSH, Docker, WSL, no PortAudio).
2. No core agent loop changes: streaming TTS path extracted from
_interruptible_api_call() into separate _streaming_api_call() method.
The original method is restored to its upstream form.
3. Configurable key binding: push-to-talk key changed from Ctrl+R
(conflicts with readline reverse-search) to Ctrl+B by default.
Configurable via voice.push_to_talk_key in config.yaml.
4. Environment detection: new detect_audio_environment() function checks
for SSH, Docker, WSL, and missing audio devices before enabling voice
mode. Auto-disables with clear warnings in incompatible environments.
5. Graceful degradation: every audio touchpoint (sd.play, sd.InputStream,
sd.OutputStream) wrapped in try/except with ImportError/OSError
handling. Failures produce warnings, not crashes.
- Fix Gemini streaming tool call merge bug: multiple tool calls with same
index but different IDs are now parsed as separate calls instead of
concatenating names (e.g. ha_call_serviceha_call_service)
- Handle partial results in voice mode: show error and stop continuous
mode when agent returns partial/failed results with empty response
- Fix error display during streaming TTS: error messages are shown in
full response box even when streaming box was already opened
- Add duplicate sentence filter in TTS: skip near-duplicate sentences
from LLM repetition
- Fix fake HA server state mutation: turn_on/turn_off/set_temperature
correctly update entity states; temperature sensor simulates change
when thermostat is adjusted
- Audio cues: beep on record start (880Hz), double beep on stop (660Hz)
- Silence detection: auto-stop recording after 3s of silence (RMS-based)
- Continuous mode: auto-restart recording after agent responds
- Ctrl+R starts continuous mode, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
- Waits for TTS to finish before restarting to avoid recording speaker
- Tests: 7 new tests for beep generation and silence detection
The test was failing because GROQ_API_KEY leaked from the environment.
Now both VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY and GROQ_API_KEY are removed to
properly test the "no STT key" scenario.

* feat(skills): add phone-calls skill for outbound AI voice calls
Reformulated from core tool (PR #847 feedback) into a skill with a
standalone helper script. No new dependencies — uses only Python stdlib.
Two providers supported:
- Bland.ai (default): simple setup, one API key
- Vapi: flexible, better voice quality via ElevenLabs/Deepgram + Twilio
Includes:
- SKILL.md with full procedure, safety rules, provider docs, pitfalls
- scripts/phone_call.py CLI helper (call, status, diagnose commands)
* feat(skills): expand phone-calls into optional telephony skill
Follow up on salvaged PR #965 by moving the capability into optional-skills
and broadening it from outbound AI calling to a full telephony skill. Add
Twilio number provisioning, env/state persistence, SMS/MMS, inbound SMS
polling, Vapi import helpers, and a provider decision tree while keeping
telephony out of core runtime code.
* docs(skills): clarify Hermes TTS telephony workflow
