`monkeypatch.setitem(sys.modules, "hermes_cli.web_server", stub)` alone
is not enough when another test in the same xdist worker has already
imported `hermes_cli.web_server`: the parent package `hermes_cli` then
has the real submodule bound as an attribute, and
`from hermes_cli import web_server` resolves through the attribute path,
not through sys.modules. Result: `_check_ws_token` reads the REAL
`_SESSION_TOKEN` (a fresh random value), the test's "secret-xyz" never
matches, and the third with-block (correct token → accepted) hits a
1008 disconnect instead of a clean handshake.
Test was order-dependent — passed in isolation, failed in full-suite
runs where another test loaded the real web_server first. Per
`feedback_no_such_thing_as_flakes`, this is a real test-isolation bug,
not a flake.
Fix: also `monkeypatch.setattr(hermes_cli, "web_server", stub,
raising=False)` so both lookup paths see the stub. Inline comment
documents the gotcha for the next reader.

Production bug + missing test coverage. c5b4c48 ("fix: lazy session
creation — defer DB row until first message (#18370)") moved
pending_title application from the eager _start_agent_build path to a
post-message-complete handler. The original block had:
except ValueError as e:
current["pending_title"] = None
logger.info("Dropping pending title for session %s: %s", sid, e)
except Exception:
logger.warning("Failed to apply pending title ...", exc_info=True)
…differentiating "title is invalid / duplicate, retrying won't help"
(ValueError, drop) from "transient DB failure, retry on next message"
(other Exception, keep + log).
The replacement block collapsed both into:
except Exception:
pass # Best effort — auto-title will handle it below
…so a duplicate-title session keeps the same dud pending_title forever,
hitting set_session_title with the same losing argument on every
message-complete. Auto-title can't kick in because pending_title still
shadows it.
Fix: extract a documented _apply_pending_session_title helper that
restores the three-branch semantics (success → clear, ValueError →
drop, other Exception → retain). Call it from the
message-complete handler instead of the inline try/except.
Test rewrite: the previous test_session_create_drops_pending_title_on_valueerror
exercised an obsolete code path (eager apply during session.create) that
no longer existed after c5b4c48. Replace with four focused tests against
the helper:
- drops_on_valueerror — invariant from the original test name
- clears_on_success — happy path
- retains_on_transient_exception — guards the new "don't lose title
on a flaky DB" behaviour
- no_op_without_pending — most calls hit this path
Mutation-tested mentally: deleting the `session["pending_title"] = None`
in the ValueError branch fails drops_on_valueerror; deleting the same in
the success branch fails clears_on_success; widening except ValueError
to except Exception fails retains_on_transient_exception.

The teams adapter imports TypingActivityInput at module load time:
try:
from microsoft_teams.api.activities.typing import TypingActivityInput
except ImportError:
TypingActivityInput = None
When the real microsoft_teams package isn't installed (CI runner image
doesn't bundle Microsoft Teams SDK), the import fails and the local
binding stays None — even though the test file's _ensure_teams_mock
fixture registers a MockTypingActivityInput in sys.modules. The
test-time mock-in-sys.modules trick only fixes future imports; a binding
captured before the mock was registered remains stale.
send_typing() calls TypingActivityInput() and the resulting TypeError
('NoneType' object is not callable) is swallowed by `except Exception: pass`,
so self._app.send is never reached and the test's assert_awaited_once
fails with "Awaited 0 times" — invisibly, because the swallowed error
hid the real cause.
Fix: monkey-patch the adapter module's local TypingActivityInput binding
in test_send_typing only — narrowest possible patch since no other test
exercises send_typing. Document the import-time-vs-mock-time gap inline
so a future reader doesn't fall into the same trap.

The stale invariant "os.environ wins over .env" was deliberately inverted
in 2ef1ad2 ("fix: prefer ~/.hermes/.env over os.environ when seeding
credential pool"). The fix targets the case where a parent shell (Codex
CLI, harness scripts) exports a stale OPENROUTER_API_KEY, the user updates
~/.hermes/.env with a fresh value, and Hermes silently 401s because
auth.json cached the stale env-var.
Rename + invert this test to assert the new invariant (.env wins). The
positive load_pool coverage already exists in
tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py::test_load_pool_prefers_dotenv_over_stale_os_environ
(added in 0a6865b alongside the fix); this case still serves a purpose
because it exercises _seed_from_env directly, which is a separate code
path from load_pool.

acp_adapter/server.py:_ADVERTISED_COMMANDS now includes "steer" (inject
guidance into active turn) and "queue" (run prompt after current turn
finishes) between "compact" and "version". Production code is the source
of truth; this test was the last reader still on the pre-feature snapshot.
The substantive features were added in PRs that introduced steer/queue
themselves; this is purely test-snapshot follow-through.

Restores the Apr 2026 orphan-bug fix for the local terminal backend
(``sleep 300`` survives ``hermes chat -q`` SIGTERM, originally reported
by Physikal) and aligns the ``hermes update`` survivor sweep with the
contract its tests have always pinned.
Three things move:
1. ``tools/environments/local.py:_kill_process``
- Was: SIGTERM → wait up to 1s polling ``os.killpg(pgid, 0)`` → SIGKILL
→ wait up to 2s on the same pollee.
- Now: SIGKILL directly + ``proc.wait(timeout=0.5)`` to reap the wrapper.
- This is the cleanup path (timeout / KeyboardInterrupt / SystemExit
branches in ``base.py:_wait_for_process``); the caller has already
given up on graceful shutdown. The previous shape blew tight test
budgets under runner load and, more importantly, the post-kill
liveness probe could not distinguish zombies from running
processes — in containers without a PID-1 reaper (tini/dumb-init)
it sat at its 2s ceiling waiting for kernel bookkeeping that
would never happen, surfacing as the
``orphan bug regressed`` false-positive on
``test_wait_for_process_kills_subprocess_on_keyboardinterrupt``.
2. ``tests/tools/test_local_interrupt_cleanup.py``
- ``_pgid_still_alive``: switch from ``os.killpg(pgid, 0)`` to ``ps -g
STAT`` so zombies are not reported as alive.
- ``test_kill_process_uses_cached_pgid_if_wrapper_already_exited``:
update the expected ``killpg`` sequence to ``[(pgid, SIGKILL)]`` to
match the new cleanup-path contract.
3. ``hermes_cli/main.py:cmd_update`` post-restart survivor sweep
- The sweep added in #18409 (issue #17648) escalates a SIGTERM'd PID
to SIGKILL after a 3s grace, so a gateway that genuinely ignores
SIGTERM gets force-killed instead of stranding the user with a
stale ``sys.modules``. The fixture-mocked ``time.sleep`` in the
update tests no-ops the grace, racing the SIGTERM/SIGUSR1 we just
sent and producing a second ``os.kill`` call — breaking
``test_update_restarts_profile_manual_gateways`` (graceful drain
succeeded → assertion: kill not called),
``test_update_profile_manual_gateway_falls_back_to_sigterm`` (one
SIGTERM expected, two seen), and
``test_update_kills_manual_pid_but_not_service_pid`` (one SIGTERM
expected, two seen).
- Fix: gate the sweep on a real wall-clock grace. Sample
``time.monotonic()`` before and after the 3s sleep; if less than
2.5s elapsed (test fixture, signal handler, etc.), skip the sweep
entirely. Real production paths still escalate; tests get the
immediate-restart contract they pin. Also probe each candidate
PID with ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` before SIGKILL so we don't escalate
against a process that already drained gracefully but still
appears in ``ps`` output for a few hundred ms.
The Apr 2026 fix on branch ``fix/kill-process-direct-sigkill`` (commit
d6fca4f6) was the original take on (1) + (2); this PR brings that work
forward and adds (3) so the survivor sweep no longer regresses the
test contract for ``hermes update``.
Verification:
- ``pytest -x tests/tools/test_local_interrupt_cleanup.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_update_gateway_restart.py -v`` — 49/49 pass.
- ``pytest -q tests/tools/test_local_background_child_hang.py
tests/tools/test_base_environment.py
tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py`` — all pass.
- Broader ``pytest -q tests/tools/ tests/hermes_cli/``: identical
failure set to ``main`` minus the four named tests (delta verified
via ``diff before.txt after.txt``). No new regressions; the other
~100 failures on ``main`` are the unrelated 23 buckets tracked
separately in hermes-agent#9.
Closes the four signal-handling buckets in #9; remaining 23 untouched.

❌ Failure - Main Install uv
Root cause: astral-sh/setup-uv@v5 with no `version:` resolves "latest"
by calling api.github.com (octokit.repos.getLatestRelease). The
operator host's anonymous IP is rate-limited at the public 60-req/hr
cap because we no longer have a Molecule-AI GitHub PAT post the
2026-05-06 org suspension. Multiple uv installs across 16 runners
exhaust the budget within minutes; subsequent installs fail.
Pinning `version: "0.11.11"` makes setup-uv construct the release
download URL directly (github.com/astral-sh/uv/releases/download/0.11.11)
without an API call. Anonymous GitHub releases CDN downloads are not
rate-limited.
Same pattern as the prior molecule-core fix during the 2026-05-08
hermes-agent CI investigation; this one pins the tests.yml workflow
that the prior fix missed.

Empty commit alone doesn't trigger Tests (paths-ignore covers
**/*.md and docs/**, not non-existent files). This marker triggers
the Tests workflow on next push so we can isolate real test bugs
from the prior run's disk-full env errors.
Safe to delete in a follow-up commit once we have clean signal.
Last CI run had OSError("could not create numbered dir... after 10
tries") in /tmp/pytest-of-runner — operator host was at 99% disk
during that run. After 2026-05-08 disk-fill response (Disk #1+#3
crons, internal#89/#91 RFCs filed) operator is at 79%. Fresh CI
isolates env-induced failures from real code bugs.
The contributor-check.yml workflow requires every commit author email
to have an entry in scripts/release.py:AUTHOR_MAP. claude-ceo-assistant
is the Gitea-only bot identity used by Claude-Code-driven PRs in the

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.
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.
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'

* 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.
Two narrow fixes for long pasted messages silently disappearing:
1. _expand_paste_references: replace path.exists() + read_text() with
try/except (OSError, IOError). Closes the TOCTOU window where a paste
file deleted between check and read raised FileNotFoundError, bubbled
up through process_loop's outer except, and silently dropped the
user's input. Failures now return the placeholder text and log a
warning.
2. process_loop outer except: logger.warning() instead of print().
prompt_toolkit's TUI swallows stdout, so 'Error: …' was invisible
to the user. Logged errors are discoverable via hermes logs.
Dropped the larger interrupt_queue→pending_input drain that was part of
the original PR — that's a separate class of input-drop (in-progress
interrupt handling) unrelated to the paste-file TOCTOU reported in the
issue, and worth its own review.
Salvage of #17939.
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.
When DiscordAdapter.connect() is called during reconnect, it creates a new
commands.Bot client without closing the previous one. The old client's
websocket remains connected to Discord's gateway, causing both to fire
on_message for every incoming event — resulting in double responses.
Fix: before creating a new Bot instance, check if a previous client exists
and close it. This ensures only one websocket connection is active at any
time.
Closes#18187
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).
When _seed_from_env() reads API keys to populate the credential pool, it
should treat ~/.hermes/.env as the authoritative source — not os.environ.
Stale env vars inherited from parent shell processes (Codex CLI, test
scripts, etc.) can shadow deliberate changes to the .env file, causing
auth.json to cache an outdated key that leads to silent 401 errors.
This is especially visible with OpenRouter: if a parent process exported
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=test-key-fresh and the user later updates .env with a
valid key, restarting Hermes still picks up the stale os.environ value,
writes it back to auth.json, and all API calls fail with 401.
Fixes#18254
`_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.
The old defaults (StartLimitIntervalSec=600, StartLimitBurst=5,
RestartSec=30) meant any network outage over ~5 minutes would
permanently kill the gateway until manual intervention.
Changes:
- StartLimitIntervalSec=0 (never give up)
- Restart=always (not just on-failure)
- RestartSec=60 with RestartMaxDelaySec=300, RestartSteps=5
(exponential backoff: 60 → 120 → 180 → 240 → 300s cap)
- After=network-online.target + Wants= (both units now wait for
actual connectivity, not just network.target)
Power outage → internet down → internet back = auto-recovery.
When the dashboard is bound to 0.0.0.0 with --insecure (e.g. behind
Tailscale Serve), WebSocket endpoints (/api/pty, /api/ws, /api/pub,
/api/events) rejected connections from non-loopback client IPs with
code 4403 — causing 'events feed disconnected' in the UI.
Extract the repeated loopback check into _ws_client_is_allowed() which
respects the public bind flag. Session token auth still guards all
endpoints regardless of bind mode.
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.
