When a user edits a bundled skill, sync flags it as user_modified and
skips it forever. The problem: if the user later tries to undo the edit
by copying the current bundled version back into ~/.hermes/skills/, the
manifest still holds the old origin hash from the last successful
sync, so the fresh bundled hash still doesn't match and the skill stays
stuck as user_modified.
Adds an escape hatch for this case.
hermes skills reset <name>
Drops the skill's entry from ~/.hermes/skills/.bundled_manifest and
re-baselines against the user's current copy. Future 'hermes update'
runs accept upstream changes again. Non-destructive.
hermes skills reset <name> --restore
Also deletes the user's copy and re-copies the bundled version.
Use when you want the pristine upstream skill back.
Also available as /skills reset in chat.
- tools/skills_sync.py: new reset_bundled_skill(name, restore=False)
- hermes_cli/skills_hub.py: do_reset() + wired into skills_command and
handle_skills_slash; added to the slash /skills help panel
- hermes_cli/main.py: argparse entry for 'hermes skills reset'
- tests/tools/test_skills_sync.py: 5 new tests covering the stuck-flag
repro, --restore, unknown-skill error, upstream-removed-skill, and
no-op on already-clean state
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md: new 'Bundled skill updates'
section explaining the origin-hash mechanic + reset usage
Three tests in tests/test_plugin_skills.py and tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py
used caplog.at_level(logging.WARNING) without specifying a logger. When another
test earlier in the same xdist worker touched propagation on tools.skills_tool
or hermes_cli.plugins, caplog would miss the warning and the assertion would
fail intermittently in CI.
These three tests accounted for 15 of the last ~30 Tests workflow failures
(5 each), including the recent main failure on commit 436a7359 (PR #11398).
Fix: pass logger="tools.skills_tool" / logger="hermes_cli.plugins" to
caplog.at_level() so the handler attaches directly to the logger under test
and capture is independent of global propagation state.
Affected tests:
- tests/test_plugin_skills.py::TestSkillViewPluginGuards::test_injection_logged_but_served
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_empty_name_rejected
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::TestPluginCommands::test_register_command_builtin_conflict_rejected
No production code change. Verified passing under xdist (-n 4) alongside
test_hermes_logging.py (the test most likely to poison the logger state).
Extends test_build_event_handler_registers_reaction_and_card_processors
to assert that register_p2_im_chat_access_event_bot_p2p_chat_entered_v1
and register_p2_im_message_recalled_v1 are called when building the
event handler, matching the production registrations.
Also adds Fatty911 to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for credit on the
salvaged event-handler fix.
* feat(image_gen): upgrade Recraft V3 → V4 Pro, Nano Banana → Pro
Upstream asked for these two upgrades ASAP — the old entries show
stale models when newer, higher-quality versions are available on FAL.
Recraft V3 → Recraft V4 Pro
ID: fal-ai/recraft-v3 → fal-ai/recraft/v4/pro/text-to-image
Price: $0.04/image → $0.25/image (6x — V4 Pro is premium tier)
Schema: V4 dropped the required `style` enum entirely; defaults
handle taste now. Added `colors` and `background_color`
to supports for brand-palette control. `seed` is not
supported by V4 per the API docs.
Nano Banana → Nano Banana Pro
ID: fal-ai/nano-banana → fal-ai/nano-banana-pro
Price: $0.08/image → $0.15/image (1K); $0.30 at 4K
Schema: Aspect ratio family unchanged. Added `resolution`
(1K/2K/4K, default 1K for billing predictability),
`enable_web_search` (real-time info grounding, +$0.015),
and `limit_generations` (force exactly 1 image).
Architecture: Gemini 2.5 Flash → Gemini 3 Pro Image. Quality
and reasoning depth improved; slower (~6s → ~8s).
Migration: users who had the old IDs in `image_gen.model` will
fall through the existing 'unknown model → default' warning path
in `_resolve_fal_model()` and get the Klein 9B default on the next
run. Re-run `hermes tools` → Image Generation to pick the new
version. No silent cost-upgrade aliasing — the 2-6x price jump
on these tiers warrants explicit user re-selection.
Portal note: both new model IDs need to be allowlisted on the
Nous fal-queue-gateway alongside the previous 7 additions, or
users on Nous Subscription will see the 'managed gateway rejected
model' error we added previously (which is clear and
self-remediating, just noisy).
* docs: wrap '<1s' in backticks to unblock MDX compilation
Docusaurus's MDX parser treats unquoted '<' as the start of JSX, and
'<1s' fails because '1' isn't a valid tag-name start character. This
was broken on main since PR #11265 (never noticed because
docs-site-checks was failing on OTHER issues at the time and we
admin-merged through it).
Wrapping in backticks also gives the cell monospace styling which
reads more cleanly alongside the inline-code model ID in the same row.
The other '<1s' occurrence (line 52) is inside a fenced code block
and is already safe — code fences bypass MDX parsing.
* feat(mcp-oauth): scaffold MCPOAuthManager
Central manager for per-server MCP OAuth state. Provides
get_or_build_provider (cached), remove (evicts cache + deletes
disk), invalidate_if_disk_changed (mtime watch, core fix for
external-refresh workflow), and handle_401 (dedup'd recovery).
No behavior change yet — existing call sites still use
build_oauth_auth directly. Task 1 of 8 in the MCP OAuth
consolidation (fixes Cthulhu's BetterStack reliability issues).
* feat(mcp-oauth): add HermesMCPOAuthProvider with pre-flow disk watch
Subclasses the MCP SDK's OAuthClientProvider to inject a disk
mtime check before every async_auth_flow, via the central
manager. When a subclass instance is used, external token
refreshes (cron, another CLI instance) are picked up before
the next API call.
Still dead code: the manager's _build_provider still delegates
to build_oauth_auth and returns the plain OAuthClientProvider.
Task 4 wires this subclass in. Task 2 of 8.
* refactor(mcp-oauth): extract build_oauth_auth helpers
Decomposes build_oauth_auth into _configure_callback_port,
_build_client_metadata, _maybe_preregister_client, and
_parse_base_url. Public API preserved. These helpers let
MCPOAuthManager._build_provider reuse the same logic in Task 4
instead of duplicating the construction dance.
Also updates the SDK version hint in the warning from 1.10.0 to
1.26.0 (which is what we actually require for the OAuth types
used here). Task 3 of 8.
* feat(mcp-oauth): manager now builds HermesMCPOAuthProvider directly
_build_provider constructs the disk-watching subclass using the
helpers from Task 3, instead of delegating to the plain
build_oauth_auth factory. Any consumer using the manager now gets
pre-flow disk-freshness checks automatically.
build_oauth_auth is preserved as the public API for backwards
compatibility. The code path is now:
MCPOAuthManager.get_or_build_provider ->
_build_provider ->
_configure_callback_port
_build_client_metadata
_maybe_preregister_client
_parse_base_url
HermesMCPOAuthProvider(...)
Task 4 of 8.
* feat(mcp): wire OAuth manager + add _reconnect_event
MCPServerTask gains _reconnect_event alongside _shutdown_event.
When set, _run_http / _run_stdio exit their async-with blocks
cleanly (no exception), and the outer run() loop re-enters the
transport to rebuild the MCP session with fresh credentials.
This is the recovery path for OAuth failures that the SDK's
in-place httpx.Auth cannot handle (e.g. cron externally consumed
the refresh_token, or server-side session invalidation).
_run_http now asks MCPOAuthManager for the OAuth provider
instead of calling build_oauth_auth directly. Config-time,
runtime, and reconnect paths all share one provider instance
with pre-flow disk-watch active.
shutdown() defensively sets both events so there is no race
between reconnect and shutdown signalling.
Task 5 of 8.
* feat(mcp): detect auth failures in tool handlers, trigger reconnect
All 5 MCP tool handlers (tool call, list_resources, read_resource,
list_prompts, get_prompt) now detect auth failures and route
through MCPOAuthManager.handle_401:
1. If the manager says recovery is viable (disk has fresh tokens,
or SDK can refresh in-place), signal MCPServerTask._reconnect_event
to tear down and rebuild the MCP session with fresh credentials,
then retry the tool call once.
2. If no recovery path exists, return a structured needs_reauth
JSON error so the model stops hallucinating manual refresh
attempts (the 'let me curl the token endpoint' loop Cthulhu
pasted from Discord).
_is_auth_error catches OAuthFlowError, OAuthTokenError,
OAuthNonInteractiveError, and httpx.HTTPStatusError(401). Non-auth
exceptions still surface via the generic error path unchanged.
Task 6 of 8.
* feat(mcp-cli): route add/remove through manager, add 'hermes mcp login'
cmd_mcp_add and cmd_mcp_remove now go through MCPOAuthManager
instead of calling build_oauth_auth / remove_oauth_tokens
directly. This means CLI config-time state and runtime MCP
session state are backed by the same provider cache — removing
a server evicts the live provider, adding a server populates
the same cache the MCP session will read from.
New 'hermes mcp login <name>' command:
- Wipes both the on-disk tokens file and the in-memory
MCPOAuthManager cache
- Triggers a fresh OAuth browser flow via the existing probe
path
- Intended target for the needs_reauth error Task 6 returns
to the model
Task 7 of 8.
* test(mcp-oauth): end-to-end integration tests
Five new tests exercising the full consolidation with real file
I/O and real imports (no transport mocks):
1. external_refresh_picked_up_without_restart — Cthulhu's cron
workflow. External process writes fresh tokens to disk;
on the next auth flow the manager's mtime-watch flips
_initialized and the SDK re-reads from storage.
2. handle_401_deduplicates_concurrent_callers — 10 concurrent
handlers for the same failed token fire exactly ONE recovery
attempt (thundering-herd protection).
3. handle_401_returns_false_when_no_provider — defensive path
for unknown servers.
4. invalidate_if_disk_changed_handles_missing_file — pre-auth
state returns False cleanly.
5. provider_is_reused_across_reconnects — cache stickiness so
reconnects preserve the disk-watch baseline mtime.
Task 8 of 8 — consolidation complete.
* docs: fix ascii-guard border alignment errors
Three docs pages had ASCII diagram boxes with off-by-one column
alignment issues that failed docs-site-checks CI:
- architecture.md: outer box is 71 cols but inner-box content lines
and border corners were offset by 1 col, making content-line right
border at col 70/72 while top/bottom border was at col 71. Inner
boxes also had border corners at cols 19/36/53 but content pipes
at cols 20/37/54. Rewrote the diagram with consistent 71-col width
throughout, aligned inner boxes at cols 4-19, 22-37, 40-55 with
2-space gaps and 15-space trailing padding.
- gateway-internals.md: same class of issue — outer box at 51 cols,
inner content lines varied 52-54 cols. Rewrote with consistent
51-col width, inner boxes at cols 4-15, 18-29, 32-43. Also
restructured the bottom-half message flow so it's bare text
(not half-open box cells) matching the intent of the original.
- agent-loop.md line 112-114: box 2 (API thread) content lines had
one extra space pushing the right border to col 46 while the top
and bottom borders of that box sat at col 45. Trimmed one trailing
space from each of the three content lines.
All 123 docs files now pass `npm run lint:diagrams`:
✓ Errors: 0 (warnings: 6, non-fatal)
Pre-existing failures on main — unrelated to any open PR.
* test(setup): accept description kwarg in prompt_choice mock lambdas
setup.py's `_curses_prompt_choice` gained an optional `description`
parameter (used for rendering context hints alongside the prompt).
`prompt_choice` forwards it via keyword arg. The two existing tests
mocked `_curses_prompt_choice` with lambdas that didn't accept the
new kwarg, so the forwarded call raised TypeError.
Fix: add `description=None` to both mock lambda signatures so they
absorb the new kwarg without changing behavior.
* test(matrix): update stale audio-caching assertion
test_regular_audio_has_http_url asserted that non-voice audio
messages keep their HTTP URL and are NOT downloaded/cached. That
was true when the caching code only triggered on
`is_voice_message`. Since bec02f37 (encrypted-media caching
refactor), matrix.py caches all media locally — photos, audio,
video, documents — so downstream tools can read them as real
files via media_urls. This applies to regular audio too.
Renamed the test to `test_regular_audio_is_cached_locally`,
flipped the assertions accordingly, and documented the
intentional behavior change in the docstring. Other tests in
the file (voice-specific caching, message-type detection,
reply-to threading) continue to pass.
* test(413): allow multi-pass preflight compression
run_agent.py's preflight compression runs up to 3 passes in a loop
for very large sessions (each pass summarizes the middle N turns,
then re-checks tokens). The loop breaks when a pass returns a
message list no shorter than its input (can't compress further).
test_preflight_compresses_oversized_history used a static mock
return value that returned the same 2 messages regardless of input,
so the loop ran pass 1 (41 -> 2) and pass 2 (2 -> 2 -> break),
making call_count == 2. The assert_called_once() assertion was
strictly wrong under the multi-pass design.
The invariant the test actually cares about is: preflight ran, and
its first invocation received the full oversized history. Replaced
the count assertion with those two invariants.
* docs: drop '...' from gateway diagram, merge side-by-side boxes
ascii-guard 2.3.0 flagged two remaining issues after the initial fix
pass:
1. gateway-internals.md L33: the '...' suffix after inner box 3's
right border got parsed as 'extra characters after inner-box right
border'. Dropped the '...' — the surrounding prose already conveys
'and more platforms' without needing the visual hint.
2. agent-loop.md: ascii-guard can't cleanly parse two side-by-side
boxes of different heights (main thread 7 rows, API thread 5 rows).
Even equalizing heights didn't help — the linter treats the left
box's right border as the end of the diagram. Merged into a single
54-char-wide outer box with both threads labeled as regions inside,
keeping the ▶ arrow to preserve the main→API flow direction.
Inbound Feishu messages arriving during brief windows when the adapter
loop is unavailable (startup/restart transitions, network-flap reconnect)
were silently dropped with a WARNING log. This matches the symptom in
issue #5499 — and users have reported seeing only a subset of their
messages reach the agent.
Fix: queue pending events in a thread-safe list and spawn a single
drainer thread that replays them once the loop becomes ready. Covers
these scenarios:
* Queue events instead of dropping when loop is None/closed
* Single drainer handles the full queue (not thread-per-event)
* Thread-safe with threading.Lock on the queue and schedule flag
* Handles mid-drain bursts (new events arrive while drainer is working)
* Handles RuntimeError if loop closes between check and submit
* Depth cap (1000) prevents unbounded growth during extended outages
* Drops queue cleanly on disconnect rather than holding forever
* Safety timeout (120s) prevents infinite retention on broken adapters
Based on the approach proposed in #4789 by milkoor, rewritten for
thread-safety and correctness.
Test plan:
* 5 new unit tests (TestPendingInboundQueue) — all passing
* E2E test with real asyncio loop + fake WS thread: 10-event burst
before loop ready → all 10 delivered in order
* E2E concurrent burst test: 20 events queued, 20 more arrive during
drainer dispatch → all 40 delivered, no loss, no duplicates
* All 111 existing feishu tests pass

* feat(image_gen): multi-model FAL support with picker in hermes tools
Adds 8 FAL text-to-image models selectable via `hermes tools` →
Image Generation → (FAL.ai | Nous Subscription) → model picker.
Models supported:
- fal-ai/flux-2/klein/9b (new default, <1s, $0.006/MP)
- fal-ai/flux-2-pro (previous default, kept backward-compat upscaling)
- fal-ai/z-image/turbo (Tongyi-MAI, bilingual EN/CN)
- fal-ai/nano-banana (Gemini 2.5 Flash Image)
- fal-ai/gpt-image-1.5 (with quality tier: low/medium/high)
- fal-ai/ideogram/v3 (best typography)
- fal-ai/recraft-v3 (vector, brand styles)
- fal-ai/qwen-image (LLM-based)
Architecture:
- FAL_MODELS catalog declares per-model size family, defaults, supports
whitelist, and upscale flag. Three size families handled uniformly:
image_size_preset (flux family), aspect_ratio (nano-banana), and
gpt_literal (gpt-image-1.5).
- _build_fal_payload() translates unified inputs (prompt + aspect_ratio)
into model-specific payloads, merges defaults, applies caller overrides,
wires GPT quality_setting, then filters to the supports whitelist — so
models never receive rejected keys.
- IMAGEGEN_BACKENDS registry in tools_config prepares for future imagegen
providers (Replicate, Stability, etc.); each provider entry tags itself
with imagegen_backend: 'fal' to select the right catalog.
- Upscaler (Clarity) defaults off for new models (preserves <1s value
prop), on for flux-2-pro (backward-compat). Per-model via FAL_MODELS.
Config:
image_gen.model = fal-ai/flux-2/klein/9b (new)
image_gen.quality_setting = medium (new, GPT only)
image_gen.use_gateway = bool (existing)
Agent-facing schema unchanged (prompt + aspect_ratio only) — model
choice is a user-level config decision, not an agent-level arg.
Picker uses curses_radiolist (arrow keys, auto numbered-fallback on
non-TTY). Column-aligned: Model / Speed / Strengths / Price.
Docs: image-generation.md rewritten with the model table and picker
walkthrough. tools-reference, tool-gateway, overview updated to drop
the stale "FLUX 2 Pro" wording.
Tests: 42 new in tests/tools/test_image_generation.py covering catalog
integrity, all 3 size families, supports filter, default merging, GPT
quality wiring, model resolution fallback. 8 new in
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py for picker wiring (registry,
config writes, GPT quality follow-up prompt, corrupt-config repair).
* feat(image_gen): translate managed-gateway 4xx to actionable error
When the Nous Subscription managed FAL proxy rejects a model with 4xx
(likely portal-side allowlist miss or billing gate), surface a clear
message explaining:
1. The rejected model ID + HTTP status
2. Two remediation paths: set FAL_KEY for direct access, or
pick a different model via `hermes tools`
5xx, connection errors, and direct-FAL errors pass through unchanged
(those have different root causes and reasonable native messages).
Motivation: new FAL models added to this release (flux-2-klein-9b,
z-image-turbo, nano-banana, gpt-image-1.5, ideogram-v3, recraft-v3,
qwen-image) are untested against the Nous Portal proxy. If the portal
allowlists model IDs, users on Nous Subscription will hit cryptic
4xx errors without guidance on how to work around it.
Tests: 8 new cases covering status extraction across httpx/fal error
shapes and 4xx-vs-5xx-vs-ConnectionError translation policy.
Docs: brief note in image-generation.md for Nous subscribers.
Operator action (Nous Portal side): verify that fal-queue-gateway
passes through these 7 new FAL model IDs. If the proxy has an
allowlist, add them; otherwise Nous Subscription users will see the
new translated error and fall back to direct FAL.
* feat(image_gen): pin GPT-Image quality to medium (no user choice)
Previously the tools picker asked a follow-up question for GPT-Image
quality tier (low / medium / high) and persisted the answer to
`image_gen.quality_setting`. This created two problems:
1. Nous Portal billing complexity — the 22x cost spread between tiers
($0.009 low / $0.20 high) forces the gateway to meter per-tier per
user, which the portal team can't easily support at launch.
2. User footgun — anyone picking `high` by mistake burns through
credit ~6x faster than `medium`.
This commit pins quality at medium by baking it into FAL_MODELS
defaults for gpt-image-1.5 and removes all user-facing override paths:
- Removed `_resolve_gpt_quality()` runtime lookup
- Removed `honors_quality_setting` flag on the model entry
- Removed `_configure_gpt_quality_setting()` picker helper
- Removed `_GPT_QUALITY_CHOICES` constant
- Removed the follow-up prompt call in `_configure_imagegen_model()`
- Even if a user manually edits `image_gen.quality_setting` in
config.yaml, no code path reads it — always sends medium.
Tests:
- Replaced TestGptQualitySetting (6 tests) with TestGptQualityPinnedToMedium
(5 tests) — proves medium is baked in, config is ignored, flag is
removed, helper is removed, non-gpt models never get quality.
- Replaced test_picker_with_gpt_image_also_prompts_quality with
test_picker_with_gpt_image_does_not_prompt_quality — proves only 1
picker call fires when gpt-image is selected (no quality follow-up).
Docs updated: image-generation.md replaces the quality-tier table
with a short note explaining the pinning decision.
* docs(image_gen): drop stale 'wires GPT quality tier' line from internals section
Caught in a cleanup sweep after pinning quality to medium. The
"How It Works Internally" walkthrough still described the removed
quality-wiring step.
PR #4918 fixed the double-/v1 bug at fresh agent init by stripping the
trailing /v1 from OpenCode base URLs when api_mode is anthropic_messages
(so the Anthropic SDK's own /v1/messages doesn't land on /v1/v1/messages).
The same logic was missing from the /model mid-session switch path.
Repro: start a session on opencode-go with GLM-5 (or any chat_completions
model), then `/model minimax-m2.7`. switch_model() correctly sets
api_mode=anthropic_messages via opencode_model_api_mode(), but base_url
passes through as https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1. The Anthropic SDK then
POSTs to https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/v1/messages, which returns the
OpenCode website 404 HTML page (title 'Not Found | opencode').
Same bug affects `/model claude-sonnet-4-6` on opencode-zen.
Verified upstream: POST /v1/messages returns clean JSON 401 with x-api-key
auth (route works), while POST /v1/v1/messages returns the exact HTML 404
users reported.
Fix mirrors runtime_provider.resolve_runtime_provider:
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py::switch_model() strips /v1 after the OpenCode
api_mode override when the resolved mode is anthropic_messages.
- run_agent.py::AIAgent.switch_model() applies the same strip as
defense-in-depth, so any direct caller can't reintroduce the double-/v1.
Tests: 9 new regression tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_model_switch_opencode_anthropic.py
covering minimax on opencode-go, claude on opencode-zen, chat_completions
(GLM/Kimi/Gemini) keeping /v1 intact, codex_responses (GPT) keeping /v1
intact, trailing-slash handling, and the agent-level defense-in-depth.
Follow-ups on top of kshitijk4poor's cherry-picked salvage of PR #8018:
tools/environments/daytona.py
- PID-suffix /tmp/.hermes_sync.<pid>.tar so concurrent sync_back calls
against the same sandbox don't collide on the remote temp path
- Move sync_back() inside the cleanup lock and after the _sandbox-None
guard, with its own try/except. Previously a no-op cleanup (sandbox
already cleared) still fired sync_back → 3-attempt retry storm against
a nil sandbox (~6s of sleep). Now short-circuits cleanly.
tools/environments/file_sync.py
- Add _SYNC_BACK_MAX_BYTES (2 GiB) defensive cap: refuse to extract a
tar larger than the limit. Protects against runaway sandboxes
producing arbitrary-size archives.
- Add 'nothing previously pushed' guard at the top of sync_back(). If
_pushed_hashes and _synced_files are both empty, the FileSyncManager
was never initialized from the host side — there is nothing coherent
to sync back. Skips the retry/backoff machinery on uninitialized
managers and eliminates test-suite slowdown from pre-existing cleanup
tests that don't mock the sync layer.
tests/tools/test_file_sync_back.py
- Update _make_manager helper to seed a _pushed_hashes entry by default
so sync_back() exercises its real path. A seed_pushed_state=False
opt-out is available for noop-path tests.
- Add TestSyncBackSizeCap with positive and negative coverage of the
new cap.
tests/tools/test_sync_back_backends.py
- Update Daytona bulk download test to assert the PID-suffixed path
pattern instead of the fixed /tmp/.hermes_sync.tar.
Salvage of PR #8018 by @alt-glitch onto current main.
On sandbox teardown, FileSyncManager now downloads the remote .hermes/
directory, diffs against SHA-256 hashes of what was originally pushed,
and applies only changed files back to the host.
Core (tools/environments/file_sync.py):
- sync_back(): orchestrates download -> unpack -> diff -> apply with:
- Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts, 2s/4s/8s)
- SIGINT trap + defer (prevents partial writes on Ctrl-C)
- fcntl.flock serialization (concurrent gateway sandboxes)
- Last-write-wins conflict resolution with warning
- New remote files pulled back via _infer_host_path prefix matching
Backends:
- SSH: _ssh_bulk_download — tar cf - piped over SSH
- Modal: _modal_bulk_download — exec tar cf - -> proc.stdout.read
- Daytona: _daytona_bulk_download — exec tar cf -> SDK download_file
- All three call sync_back() at the top of cleanup()
Fixes applied during salvage (vs original PR #8018):
| # | Issue | Fix |
|---|-------|-----|
| C1 | import fcntl unconditional — crashes Windows | try/except with fallback; _sync_back_locked skips locking when fcntl=None |
| W1 | assert for runtime guard (stripped by -O) | Replaced with proper if/raise RuntimeError |
| W2 | O(n*m) from _get_files_fn() called per file | Cache mapping once at start of _sync_back_impl, pass to resolve/infer |
| W3 | Dead BulkDownloadFn imports in 3 backends | Removed unused imports |
| W4 | Modal hardcodes root/.hermes, no explanation | Added docstring comment explaining Modal always runs as root |
| S1 | SHA-256 computed for new files where pushed_hash=None | Skip hashing when pushed_hash is None (comparison always False) |
| S2 | Daytona /tmp/.hermes_sync.tar never cleaned up | Added rm -f after download (best-effort) |
Tests: 49 passing (17 new: _infer_host_path edge cases, SIGINT
main/worker thread, Windows fcntl=None fallback, Daytona tar cleanup).
Based on #8018 by @alt-glitch.
All 61 TUI-related tests green across 3 consecutive xdist runs.
tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py:
- rename `get_messages` → `get_messages_as_conversation` on mock DB (method
was renamed in the real backend, test was still stubbing the old name)
- update tool-message shape expectation: `{role, name, context}` matches
current `_history_to_messages` output, not the legacy `{role, text}`
tests/hermes_cli/test_tui_resume_flow.py:
- `cmd_chat` grew a first-run provider-gate that bailed to "Run: hermes
setup" before `_launch_tui` was ever reached; 3 tests stubbed
`_resolve_last_session` + `_launch_tui` but not the gate
- factored a `main_mod` fixture that stubs `_has_any_provider_configured`,
reused by all three tests
tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py:
- `test_config_set_personality_resets_history_and_returns_info` was flaky
under xdist because the real `_write_config_key` touches
`~/.hermes/config.yaml`, racing with any other worker that writes
config. Stub it in the test.
The Discord voice receive path skipped RFC 3550 §5.1 padding handling,
passing padding-contaminated payloads into DAVE E2EE decrypt and Opus
decode. Symptoms in live VC sessions: deaf inbound speech, intermittent
empty STT results, "corrupted stream" decode errors — especially on the
first reply after join.
When the P bit is set in the RTP header, the last payload byte holds the
count of trailing padding bytes (including itself) that must be removed.
Receive pipeline now follows the spec order:

When the dashboard connects to a remote gateway via GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL,
display the URL instead of the remote PID (which is meaningless locally).
Falls back to PID display for local gateways as before.
- Backend: expose gateway_health_url in /api/status response
- Frontend: prefer gateway_health_url over PID in gatewayValue()
- Add truncate + title tooltip for long URLs that overflow the card
- Add min-w-0/overflow-hidden on status cards for proper truncation
- Tests: verify gateway_health_url in remote and no-URL scenarios
Two new tests in tests/run_agent/ that pin the user-visible invariant
behind AlexKucera's Discord report (2026-04-16): no matter how a future
keepalive / transport fix for #10324 plumbs sockets in, sequential
chats on the same AIAgent instance must all succeed.
test_create_openai_client_reuse.py (no network, runs in CI):
- test_second_create_does_not_wrap_closed_transport_from_first
back-to-back _create_openai_client calls must not hand the same
http_client (after an SDK close) to the second construction
- test_replace_primary_openai_client_survives_repeated_rebuilds
three sequential rebuilds via the real _replace_primary_openai_client
entrypoint must each install a live client
test_sequential_chats_live.py (opt-in, HERMES_LIVE_TESTS=1):
- test_three_sequential_chats_across_client_rebuild
real OpenRouter round trips, with an explicit
_replace_primary_openai_client call between turns 2 and 3.
Error-sentinel detector treats 'API call failed after 3 retries'
replies as failures instead of letting them pass the naive
truthy check (which is how a first draft of this test missed
the bug it was meant to catch).
Validation:
clean main (post-revert, defensive copy present)
-> all 4 tests PASS
broken #10933 state (keepalive injection, no defensive copy)
-> all 4 tests FAIL with precise messages pointing at #10933
Companion to taeuk178's test_create_openai_client_kwargs_isolation.py,
which pins the syntactic 'don't mutate input dict' half of the same
contract. Together they catch both the specific mechanism of #10933
and any other reimplementation that breaks the sequential-call
invariant.
* fix(cli): stop approval panel from clipping approve/deny off-screen
The dangerous-command approval panel had an unbounded Window height with
choices at the bottom. When tirith findings produced long descriptions or
the terminal was compact, HSplit clipped the bottom of the widget — which
is exactly where approve/session/always/deny live. Users were asked to
decide on commands without being able to see the choices (and sometimes
the command itself was hidden too).
Fix: reorder the panel so title → command → choices render first, with
description last. Budget vertical rows so the mandatory content (command
and every choice) always fits, and truncate the description to whatever
row budget is left. Handle three edge cases:
- Long description in a normal terminal: description gets truncated at
the bottom with a '… (description truncated)' marker. Command and
all four choices always visible.
- Compact terminal (≤ ~14 rows): description dropped entirely. Command
and choices are the only content, no overflow.
- /view on a giant command: command gets truncated with a marker so
choices still render. Keeps at least 2 rows of command.
Same row-budgeting pattern applied to the clarify widget, which had the
identical structural bug (long question would push choices off-screen).
Adds regression tests covering all three scenarios.
* fix(cli): add compact chrome mode for approval/clarify panels on short terminals
Live PTY test at 100x14 rows revealed reserved_below=4 was too optimistic
— the spinner/tool-progress line, status bar, input area, separators, and
prompt symbol actually consume ~6 rows below the panel. At 14 rows, the
panel still got 'Deny' clipped off the bottom.
Fix: bump reserved_below to 6 (measured from live PTY output) and add a
compact-chrome mode that drops the blank separators between title/command
and command/choices when the full-chrome panel wouldn't fit. Chrome goes
from 5 rows to 3 rows in tight mode, keeping command + all 4 choices on
screen in terminals as small as ~13 rows.
Same compact-chrome pattern applied to the clarify widget.
Verified live in PTY hermes chat sessions at 100x14 (compact chrome
triggered, all choices visible) and 100x30 (full chrome with blanks, nice
spacing) by asking the agent to run 'rm -rf /tmp/sandbox'.

Users with 'commit.gpgsign = true' in their global git config got a
pinentry popup (or a failed commit) every time the agent took a
background filesystem snapshot — every write_file, patch, or diff
mid-session. With GPG_TTY unset, pinentry-qt/gtk would spawn a GUI
window, constantly interrupting the session.
The shadow repo is internal Hermes infrastructure. It must not
inherit user-level git settings (signing, hooks, aliases, credential
helpers, etc.) under any circumstance.
Fix is layered:
1. _git_env() sets GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL=os.devnull,
GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM=os.devnull, and GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM=1. Shadow
git commands no longer see ~/.gitconfig or /etc/gitconfig at all
(uses os.devnull for Windows compat).
2. _init_shadow_repo() explicitly writes commit.gpgsign=false and
tag.gpgSign=false into the shadow's own config, so the repo is
correct even if inspected or run against directly without the
env vars, and for older git versions (<2.32) that predate
GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL.
3. _take() passes --no-gpg-sign inline on the commit call. This
covers existing shadow repos created before this fix — they will
never re-run _init_shadow_repo (it is gated on HEAD not existing),
so they would miss layer 2. Layer 1 still protects them, but the
inline flag guarantees correctness at the commit call itself.
Existing checkpoints, rollback, list, diff, and restore all continue
to work — history is untouched. Users who had the bug stop getting
pinentry popups; users who didn't see no observable change.
Tests: 5 new regression tests in TestGpgAndGlobalConfigIsolation,
including a full E2E repro with fake HOME, global gpgsign=true, and
a deliberately broken GPG binary — checkpoint succeeds regardless.

* fix(matrix): register MembershipEventDispatcher for invite auto-join
The mautrix migration (#7518) broke auto-join because InternalEventType.INVITE
events are only dispatched when MembershipEventDispatcher is registered on the
client. Without it, _on_invite is dead code and the bot silently ignores all
room invites.

* fix(matrix): remove dual ROOM_ENCRYPTED handler to fix dedup race
mautrix auto-registers DecryptionDispatcher when client.crypto is set.
The adapter also registered _on_encrypted_event for the same event type.
_on_encrypted_event had zero awaits and won the race to mark event IDs
in the dedup set, causing _on_room_message to drop successfully decrypted
events from DecryptionDispatcher. The retry loop masked this by re-decrypting
every message ~4 seconds later.
Remove _on_encrypted_event entirely. DecryptionDispatcher handles decryption;
genuinely undecryptable events are logged by mautrix and retried on next
key exchange.

* fix(matrix): re-verify device keys after share_keys() upload
Matrix homeservers treat ed25519 identity keys as immutable per device.
share_keys() can return 200 but silently ignore new keys if the device
already exists with different identity keys. The bot would proceed with
shared=True while peers encrypt to the old (unreachable) keys.
Now re-queries the server after share_keys() and fails closed if keys
don't match, with an actionable error message.

* fix(matrix): encrypt outbound attachments in E2EE rooms
_upload_and_send() uploaded raw bytes and used the 'url' key for all

encrypt_attachment(), the ciphertext uploaded, and the 'file' key
(with key/iv/hashes) used instead of 'url'.
Now detects encrypted rooms via state_store.is_encrypted() and
branches to the encrypted upload path.

* fix(matrix): add stop_typing to clear typing indicator after response
The adapter set a 30-second typing timeout but never cleared it.
The base class stop_typing() is a no-op, so the typing indicator
lingered for up to 30 seconds after each response.

* fix(matrix): cache all media types locally, not just photos/voice
should_cache_locally only covered PHOTO, VOICE, and encrypted media.

Refs #3487, #3806
* fix(matrix): detect stale OTK conflict on startup and fail closed
When crypto state is wiped but the same device ID is reused, the
homeserver may still hold one-time keys signed with the previous
identity key. Identity key re-upload succeeds but OTK uploads fail
with "already exists" and a signature mismatch. Peers cannot
establish new Olm sessions, so all new messages are undecryptable.
Now proactively flushes OTKs via share_keys() during connect() and
catches the "already exists" error with an actionable log message
telling the operator to purge the device from the homeserver or
generate a fresh device ID.
Also documents the crypto store recovery procedure in the Matrix
setup guide.

The blocking gateway approval wait at tools/approval.py called
`entry.event.wait(timeout=...)` which never touched the agent's
activity tracker. When a user was slow to respond to a /approve prompt
(or the gateway_timeout config was set higher than the default 300s),
the agent thread sat silent long enough for the gateway's inactivity
watchdog (agent.gateway_timeout, default 1800s) to kill it — even
though the agent was doing exactly the right thing and the user was
the one causing the delay.
The fix polls the event in 1s slices and calls touch_activity_if_due
between slices, mirroring the _wait_for_process() pattern in
tools/environments/base.py that covers the subprocess-waiting side of
the same problem. At the default 10s heartbeat cadence, a 300s
approval wait now pings activity ~30 times, well under the 1800s
idle threshold.
Observed in community user logs: 12 repeated 'Agent idle 1800s,
last_activity=executing tool: terminal' events across April 12-14.
Companion to PR #10501 which covered streaming / concurrent-tool /
Modal-backend gaps but did not touch approval.py.
Test: tests/tools/test_approval_heartbeat.py — verifies (1) heartbeats
fire during the wait, (2) user responses are still near-instant, and
(3) the approval path stays functional when the heartbeat helper
can't be imported.
Adds Google Gemini TTS as the seventh voice provider, with 30 prebuilt
voices (Zephyr, Puck, Kore, Enceladus, Gacrux, etc.) and natural-language
prompt control. Integrates through the existing provider chain:
- tools/tts_tool.py: new _generate_gemini_tts() calls the
generativelanguage REST endpoint with responseModalities=[AUDIO],
wraps the returned 24kHz mono 16-bit PCM (L16) in a WAV RIFF header,
then ffmpeg-converts to MP3 or Opus depending on output extension.
For .ogg output, libopus is forced explicitly so Telegram voice
bubbles get Opus (ffmpeg defaults to Vorbis for .ogg).
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: exposes 'Google Gemini TTS' as a provider
option in the curses-based 'hermes tools' UI.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: adds gemini to the setup wizard picker, tool
status display, and API key prompt branch (accepts existing
GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY, falls back to Edge if neither set).
- tests/tools/test_tts_gemini.py: 15 unit tests covering WAV header
wrap correctness, env var fallback (GEMINI/GOOGLE), voice/model
overrides, snake_case vs camelCase inlineData handling, HTTP error
surfacing, and empty-audio edge cases.
- docs: TTS features page updated to list seven providers with the new
gemini config block and ffmpeg notes.
Live-tested against api key against gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts: .wav,
.mp3, and Telegram-compatible .ogg (Opus codec) all produce valid
playable audio.
Replace the HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env-var feature flag with
subscription-based detection. The Tool Gateway is now available to any
paid Nous subscriber without needing a hidden env var.
Core changes:
- managed_nous_tools_enabled() checks get_nous_auth_status() +
check_nous_free_tier() instead of an env var
- New use_gateway config flag per tool section (web, tts, browser,
image_gen) records explicit user opt-in and overrides direct API
keys at runtime
- New prefers_gateway(section) shared helper in tool_backend_helpers.py
used by all 4 tool runtimes (web, tts, image gen, browser)
UX flow:
- hermes model: after Nous login/model selection, shows a curses
prompt listing all gateway-eligible tools with current status.
User chooses to enable all, enable only unconfigured tools, or skip.
Defaults to Enable for new users, Skip when direct keys exist.
- hermes tools: provider selection now manages use_gateway flag —
selecting Nous Subscription sets it, selecting any other provider
clears it
- hermes status: renamed section to Nous Tool Gateway, added
free-tier upgrade nudge for logged-in free users
- curses_radiolist: new description parameter for multi-line context
that survives the screen clear
Runtime behavior:
- Each tool runtime (web_tools, tts_tool, image_generation_tool,
browser_use) checks prefers_gateway() before falling back to
direct env-var credentials
- get_nous_subscription_features() respects use_gateway flags,
suppressing direct credential detection when the user opted in
Removed:
- HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env var and all references
- apply_nous_provider_defaults() silent TTS auto-set
- get_nous_subscription_explainer_lines() static text
- Override env var warnings (use_gateway handles this properly now)
Regression from #11161 (Claude Opus 4.7 migration, commit 0517ac3e).
The Opus 4.7 migration changed `ADAPTIVE_EFFORT_MAP["xhigh"]` from "max"
(the pre-migration alias) to "xhigh" to preserve the new 4.7 effort level
as distinct from max. This is correct for 4.7, but Opus/Sonnet 4.6 only
expose 4 levels (low/medium/high/max) — sending "xhigh" there now 400s:
BadRequestError [HTTP 400]: This model does not support effort
level 'xhigh'. Supported levels: high, low, max, medium.
Users who set reasoning_effort=xhigh as their default (xhigh is the
recommended default for coding/agentic on 4.7 per the Anthropic migration
guide) now 400 every request the moment they switch back to a 4.6 model
via `/model` or config. Verified live against the Anthropic API on
`anthropic==0.94.0`.
Fix: make the mapping model-aware. Add `_supports_xhigh_effort()`
predicate (matches 4-7/4.7 substrings, mirroring the existing
`_supports_adaptive_thinking` / `_forbids_sampling_params` pattern).
On pre-4.7 adaptive models, downgrade xhigh→max (the strongest effort
those models accept, restoring pre-migration behavior). On 4.7+, keep
xhigh as a distinct level.
Per Anthropic's migration guide, xhigh is 4.7-only:
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/migration-guide
> Opus 4.7 effort levels: max, xhigh (new), high, medium, low.
> Opus 4.6 effort levels: max, high, medium, low.
SDK typing confirms: `anthropic.types.OutputConfigParam.effort: Literal[
"low", "medium", "high", "max"]` (v0.94.0 not yet updated for xhigh).
## Test plan
Verified live on macOS 15.5 / anthropic==0.94.0:
claude-opus-4-6 + effort=xhigh → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-7 + effort=xhigh → output_config.effort=xhigh → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-6 + effort=max → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
claude-opus-4-7 + effort=max → output_config.effort=max → 200 OK
`tests/agent/test_anthropic_adapter.py` — 120 pass (replaced 1 bugged
test that asserted the broken behavior, added 1 for 4.7 preservation).
Full adapter suite: 120 passed in 1.05s.
Broader suite (agent + run_agent + cli/gateway reasoning): 2140 passed
(2 pre-existing failures on clean upstream/main, unrelated).
## Platforms
Tested on macOS 15.5. No platform-specific code paths touched.
Claude Opus 4.7 introduced several breaking API changes that the current
codebase partially handled but not completely. This patch finishes the
migration per the official migration guide at
https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/about-claude/models/migration-guideFixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#11137
Breaking-change coverage:
1. Adaptive thinking + output_config.effort — 4.7 is now recognized by
_supports_adaptive_thinking() (extends previous 4.6-only gate).
2. Sampling parameter stripping — 4.7 returns 400 for any non-default
temperature / top_p / top_k. build_anthropic_kwargs drops them as a
safety net; the OpenAI-protocol auxiliary path (_build_call_kwargs)
and AnthropicCompletionsAdapter.create() both early-exit before
setting temperature for 4.7+ models. This keeps flush_memories and
structured-JSON aux paths that hardcode temperature from 400ing
when the aux model is flipped to 4.7.
3. thinking.display = "summarized" — 4.7 defaults display to "omitted",
which silently hides reasoning text from Hermes's CLI activity feed
during long tool runs. Restoring "summarized" preserves 4.6 UX.
4. Effort level mapping — xhigh now maps to xhigh (was xhigh→max, which
silently over-efforted every coding/agentic request). max is now a
distinct ceiling per Anthropic's 5-level effort model.
5. New stop_reason values — refusal and model_context_window_exceeded
were silently collapsed to "stop" (end_turn) by the adapter's
stop_reason_map. Now mapped to "content_filter" and "length"
respectively, matching upstream finish-reason handling already in
bedrock_adapter.
6. Model catalogs — claude-opus-4-7 added to the Anthropic provider
list, anthropic/claude-opus-4.7 added at top of OpenRouter fallback
catalog (recommended), claude-opus-4-7 added to model_metadata
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS (1M, matching 4.6 per migration guide).
7. Prefill docstrings — run_agent.AIAgent and BatchRunner now document
that Anthropic Sonnet/Opus 4.6+ reject a trailing assistant-role
prefill (400).
8. Tests — 4 new tests in test_anthropic_adapter covering display
default, xhigh preservation, max on 4.7, refusal / context-overflow
stop_reason mapping, plus the sampling-param predicate. test_model_metadata
accepts 4.7 at 1M context.
Tested on macOS 15.5 (darwin). 119 tests pass in
tests/agent/test_anthropic_adapter.py, 1320 pass in tests/agent/.
Models may send whitespace-only strings like {"conclusion": " "} which

resolve_vision_provider_client() was receiving the raw call_llm

provider_model_ids() and list_authenticated_providers() had no case for
"ollama-cloud", so the /model slash command showed 0 models despite
fetch_ollama_cloud_models() being fully implemented. The CLI subcommand
worked because it called fetch_ollama_cloud_models() directly.

- Populate curated dict for ollama-cloud in list_authenticated_providers()
- Add tests for both code paths
When a cron job's agent run completes but produces an empty final_response
(e.g. API 404 from invalid model name), the scheduler now marks last_status
as "error" instead of "ok", so the failure is visible in job listings.
Previously, any run that didn't raise an exception was marked "ok" regardless
of whether the agent actually produced output.
Group A (3 tests): 'No LLM provider configured' RuntimeError
- test_user_message_surrogates_sanitized, test_counters_initialized_in_init,
test_openai_prompt_tokens_unchanged
- Root cause: AIAgent.__init__ now requires base_url alongside api_key to
skip resolve_provider_client() (which returns None when API keys are
blanked in CI). Added base_url='http://localhost:1234/v1' to test
agent construction.
Group B (5 tests): Discord slash command auto-registration
- test_auto_registers_missing_gateway_commands, test_auto_registered_command_*,
test_register_skill_group_*
- Root cause: xdist workers that loaded a discord mock WITHOUT
app_commands.Command/Group caused _register_slash_commands() to fail
silently. Added comprehensive shared discord mock in
tests/gateway/conftest.py (same pattern as existing telegram mock).
Group C (5 errors): Discord reply mode 'NoneType has no DMChannel'
- All TestReplyToText tests
- Root cause: FakeDMChannel was not a subclass of real discord.DMChannel,
so isinstance() checks in _handle_message failed when running in full
suite (real discord installed). Made FakeDMChannel inherit from
discord.DMChannel when available. Removed fragile monkeypatch approach.
Group D (2 tests): detect_provider_for_model wrong provider
- test_openrouter_slug_match (got 'ai-gateway'), test_bare_name_gets_
openrouter_slug (got 'copilot')
- Root cause: ai-gateway, copilot, and kilocode are multi-vendor
aggregators that list other providers' models (OpenRouter-style slugs).
They were being matched in Step 1 before OpenRouter. Added all three
to _AGGREGATORS set so they're skipped like nous/openrouter.
Group E (1 test): model_flow_custom StopIteration
- test_model_flow_custom_saves_verified_v1_base_url
- Root cause: 'Display name' prompt was added after the test was written.
The input iterator had 5 answers but the flow now asks 6 questions.
Added 6th empty string answer.
Group F (1 test): Telegram proxy env assertion
- test_uses_proxy_env_for_primary_and_fallback_transports
- Root cause: _resolve_proxy_url() now checks TELEGRAM_PROXY first
(via resolve_proxy_url('TELEGRAM_PROXY')). Test didn't clear this
env var, allowing potential leakage from other tests in xdist workers.
Added TELEGRAM_PROXY to the cleanup list.
config.yaml terminal.cwd is now the single source of truth for working
directory. MESSAGING_CWD and TERMINAL_CWD in .env are deprecated with a
migration warning.
Changes:
1. config.py: Remove MESSAGING_CWD from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (setup wizard
no longer prompts for it). Add warn_deprecated_cwd_env_vars() that
prints a migration hint when deprecated env vars are detected.
2. gateway/run.py: Replace all MESSAGING_CWD reads with TERMINAL_CWD
(which is bridged from config.yaml terminal.cwd). MESSAGING_CWD is
still accepted as a backward-compat fallback with deprecation warning.
Config bridge skips cwd placeholder values so they don't clobber
the resolved TERMINAL_CWD.
3. cli.py: Guard against lazy-import clobbering — when cli.py is
imported lazily during gateway runtime (via delegate_tool), don't
let load_cli_config() overwrite an already-resolved TERMINAL_CWD
with os.getcwd() of the service's working directory. (#10817)

messages shared one continuous session because thread_ts was None,
causing context to accumulate across unrelated conversations.
The behavior is controlled by platforms.slack.extra.dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions
in config.yaml (default: true). Set to false to restore legacy behavior.
Based on PR #10789 by helix4u. Changes from original:
- Default flipped to true (was opt-in, now opt-out)
- Removed env var fallback (config.yaml only per project policy)
- Tests updated to cover both default and opt-out paths
Wraps provider.create_session() in _get_session_info() with try/except
to catch cloud provider runtime failures (timeouts, auth errors, rate
limits, invalid responses). Falls back to _create_local_session() so
browser automation continues working when cloud APIs are down.
Marks fallback sessions with fallback_from_cloud, fallback_reason, and
fallback_provider metadata for observability. If both cloud and local
fail, raises RuntimeError with chained context from both errors.

Camofox automatically maps each userId to a persistent Firefox profile
on the server side — no CAMOFOX_PROFILE_DIR env var exists. Our docs
incorrectly told users to configure this on the server.
Removed the fabricated env var from:
- browser docs (:::note block)
- config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG comment
- test docstring
Three targeted fixes for the 'agent stuck on terminal command' report:
1. **Concurrent tool wait loop now checks interrupts** (run_agent.py)
The sequential path checked _interrupt_requested before each tool call,
but the concurrent path's wait loop just blocked with 30s timeouts.
Now polls every 5s and cancels pending futures on interrupt, giving
already-running tools 3s to notice the per-thread interrupt signal.
2. **Cancelled concurrent tools get proper interrupt messages** (run_agent.py)
When a concurrent tool is cancelled or didn't return a result due to
interrupt, the tool result message says 'skipped due to user interrupt'
instead of a generic error.
3. **Typing indicator fires before follow-up turn** (gateway/run.py)
After an interrupt is acknowledged and the pending message dequeued,
the gateway now sends a typing indicator before starting the recursive
_run_agent call. This gives the user immediate visual feedback that
the system is processing their new message (closing the perceived
'dead air' gap between the interrupt ack and the response).
Reported by @_SushantSays.
Fixes 12 CI test failures:
1. test_cli_new_session (4): _FakeAgent missing commit_memory_session
attribute added in the memory provider refactoring. Added MagicMock.
2. test_run_progress_topics (1): already_sent detection only checked
stream consumer flags, missing the response_previewed path from
interim_assistant_callback. Restructured guard to check both paths.
3. test_timezone (1): HERMES_TIMEZONE leaked into child processes via
_SAFE_ENV_PREFIXES matching HERMES_*. The code correctly converts
it to TZ but didn't remove the original. Added child_env.pop().
4. test_session_env (1): contextvars baseline captured from a different
context couldn't be restored after clear. Changed assertion to verify
the test's value was removed rather than comparing to a fragile baseline.
5. test_discord_slash_commands (5): already fixed on current main.
When a user enters a local model server URL (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp)
without a /v1 suffix during 'hermes model' custom endpoint setup,
prompt them to add it. Most OpenAI-compatible local servers require
/v1 in the base URL for chat completions to work.
When a custom/Ollama provider is used and reasoning_effort is set to 'none'
(or enabled: false), inject 'think': false into the request extra_body.
Ollama does not recognise the OpenRouter-style 'reasoning' extra_body field,
so thinking-capable models (Qwen3, etc.) generate <think> blocks regardless
of the reasoning_effort setting. This produces empty-response errors that
corrupt session state.
The fix adds a provider-specific block in _build_api_kwargs() that sets
think=false in extra_body whenever self.provider == 'custom' and reasoning
is explicitly disabled.
Closes#3191
Gateway executor work now inherits the active session contextvars via
copy_context() so background process watchers retain the correct
platform/chat/user/session metadata for routing completion events back
to the originating chat.

Recomputes GitHub Copilot api_mode from the selected model in the
shared /model switch path. Before this change, Copilot could carry a
stale codex_responses mode forward from a GPT-5 selection into a later
Claude model switch, causing unsupported_api_for_model errors.
Cherry-picked from #10533 by @helix4u with:
- Comment specificity (Provider-specific → Copilot api_mode override)
- Fix pre-existing duplicate opencode-go in set literal
- Extract test mock helper to reduce duplication
- Add GPT-5 → GPT-5 regression test (keeps codex_responses)
In Telegram forum-enabled groups, the General topic does not include
message_thread_id in incoming messages (it is None). This caused:
1. Messages in General losing thread context — replies went to wrong place
2. Typing indicator failing because thread_id=1 was rejected by Telegram
Fix: synthesize thread_id="1" for forum groups when message_thread_id
is None, then handle it correctly per operation:
- send: omit message_thread_id (Telegram rejects thread_id=1 for sends)
- typing: pass thread_id=1, retry without it on "thread not found"
Also centralizes thread_id extraction into _metadata_thread_id() across
all send methods (send, send_voice, send_image, send_document, send_video,
send_animation, send_photo), replacing ~10 duplicate patterns.

Expands the plugin interface so slash command handlers can dispatch tool
calls through the registry with parent agent context wired up automatically.
This is the public API for plugins that need to orchestrate tools like
delegate_task — they call ctx.dispatch_tool() instead of reaching into
framework internals. The parent agent is resolved lazily from _cli_ref
when available (CLI mode) and omitted in gateway mode (tools degrade
gracefully).
Enables the hermes-deliver-plugin pattern where /deliver and /fanout
slash commands spawn subagents via delegate_task without touching the
agent conversation loop.
7 new tests covering: registry delegation, parent_agent injection from
cli_ref, gateway mode (no cli_ref), uninitialized agent, explicit
parent_agent override, kwargs forwarding, return value passthrough.
Pass platform_env_var="TELEGRAM_PROXY" to resolve_proxy_url() in both
telegram.py (main connect) and telegram_network.py (fallback transport),
so a Telegram-specific proxy takes priority over the generic HTTPS_PROXY.
Also bridge telegram.proxy_url from config.yaml to the TELEGRAM_PROXY
env var (env var takes precedence if both are set), add OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
entry, docs, and tests.

Salvaged from PR #10643 by kshitijk4poor, updated for current main.
Root causes fixed:
1. Telegram xdist mock pollution — new tests/gateway/conftest.py with shared
mock that runs at collection time (prevents ChatType=None caching)
2. VIRTUAL_ENV env var leak — monkeypatch.delenv in _detect_venv_dir tests
3. Copilot base_url missing — add fallback in _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry
4. Stale vision model assertion — zai now uses glm-5v-turbo
5. Reasoning item id intentionally stripped — assert 'id' not in (store=False)
6. Context length warning unreachable — pass base_url to AIAgent in test
7. Kimi provider label updated — 'Kimi / Kimi Coding Plan' matches models.py
8. Google Workspace calendar tests — rewritten for current production code,
properly mock subprocess on api_module, removed stale +agenda assertions
9. Credential pool auto-seeding — mock _select_pool_entry / _resolve_auto /
_import_codex_cli_tokens to prevent real credentials from leaking into tests
Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch
code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called
get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never
implemented.
Changes:
- Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler,
description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts
with built-in commands
- Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager
- Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin
- Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands()
module-level convenience functions
- Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram
bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command')
- Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete
- Show command count in /plugins display
- 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection,
normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection
Closes#10495
Telegram on iOS auto-converts double hyphens (--) to em dashes (—)
or en dashes (–) via autocorrect. This breaks /model flag parsing
since parse_model_flags() only recognizes literal '--provider' and
'--global'.
When the flag isn't parsed, the entire string (e.g. 'glm-5.1 —provider zai')
gets treated as the model name and fails with 'Model names cannot
contain spaces.'
Fix: normalize Unicode dashes (U+2012-U+2015) to '--' when they
appear before flag keywords (provider, global), before flag extraction.
The existing test suite in test_model_switch_provider_routing.py
already covers all four dash variants — this commit adds the code
that makes them pass.
Replace inline Path.home() / '.hermes' / 'profiles' detection in both CLI
and gateway /profile handlers with the existing get_active_profile_name()
from hermes_cli.profiles — which already handles custom-root deployments,
standard profiles, and Docker layouts.
Fixes /profile incorrectly reporting 'default' when HERMES_HOME points to
a custom-root profile path like /opt/data/profiles/coder.

Text-only Matrix sends should continue using the lightweight _send_matrix()
HTTP helper (~100ms). Only route through the heavy MatrixAdapter (full sync +
E2EE setup) when media files are present. Adds test verifying text-only
messages don't take the adapter path.
Matrix media delivery was silently dropped by send_message because Matrix
wasn't wired into the native adapter-backed media path. Only Telegram,
Discord, and Weixin had native media support.
Adds _send_matrix_via_adapter() which creates a MatrixAdapter instance,
connects, sends text + media via the adapter's native upload methods
(send_document, send_image_file, send_video, send_voice), then disconnects.
Also fixes a stale URL-encoding assertion in test_send_message_missing_platforms
that broke after PR #10151 added quote() to room IDs.

Background review notifications ("💾 Skill created", "💾 Memory updated")
could race ahead of the main assistant reply in chat, making it look like
the agent stopped after creating a skill.
Gate bg-review notifications behind a threading.Event + pending queue.
Register a release callback on the adapter's _post_delivery_callbacks dict
so base.py's finally block fires it after the main response is delivered.
The queued-message path in _run_agent pops and calls the callback directly
to prevent double-fire.

Closes#10541
When Nous returns a 429, the retry amplification chain burns up to 9
API requests per conversation turn (3 SDK retries × 3 Hermes retries),
each counting against RPH and deepening the rate limit. With multiple
concurrent sessions (cron + gateway + auxiliary), this creates a spiral
where retries keep the limit tapped indefinitely.
New module: agent/nous_rate_guard.py
- Shared file-based rate limit state (~/.hermes/rate_limits/nous.json)
- Parses reset time from x-ratelimit-reset-requests-1h, x-ratelimit-
reset-requests, retry-after headers, or error context
- Falls back to 5-minute default cooldown if no header data
- Atomic writes (tempfile + rename) for cross-process safety
- Auto-cleanup of expired state files
run_agent.py changes:
- Top-of-retry-loop guard: when another session already recorded Nous
as rate-limited, skip the API call entirely. Try fallback provider
first, then return a clear message with the reset time.
- On 429 from Nous: record rate limit state and skip further retries
(sets retry_count = max_retries to trigger fallback path)
- On success from Nous: clear the rate limit state so other sessions
know they can resume
auxiliary_client.py changes:
- _try_nous() checks rate guard before attempting Nous in the auxiliary
fallback chain. When rate-limited, returns (None, None) so the chain
skips to the next provider instead of piling more requests onto Nous.
This eliminates three sources of amplification:
1. Hermes-level retries (saves 6 of 9 calls per turn)
2. Cross-session retries (cron + gateway all skip Nous)
3. Auxiliary fallback to Nous (compression/session_search skip too)
Includes 24 tests covering the rate guard module, header parsing,
state lifecycle, and auxiliary client integration.
Extract resolve_channel_prompt() shared helper into
gateway/platforms/base.py. Refactor Discord to use it.
Wire channel_prompts into Telegram (groups + forum topics),
Slack (channels), and Mattermost (channels).
Config bridging now applies to all platforms (not just Discord).
Added channel_prompts defaults to telegram/slack/mattermost
config sections.
Docs added to all four platform pages with platform-specific
examples (topic inheritance for Telegram, channel IDs for Slack,
etc.).
Move _ensure_discord_mock() from module level to _make_adapter() so it
doesn't poison sys.modules for other discord test files. Use
types.ModuleType instead of MagicMock for the mock module to avoid
auto-generated __file__ attribute confusing hasattr checks.
Add BrennerSpear to AUTHOR_MAP.
- Remove double str() normalization in _resolve_channel_prompt since
config bridging already handles numeric YAML key conversion
- Remove dead prompts.get(str(key)) fallback that could never match
after keys were already normalized to strings
- Replace getattr(event, "channel_prompt", None) with direct attribute
access since channel_prompt is a declared dataclass field
- Update test to verify normalization responsibility lives in config bridging
When proxy env vars (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY) contain
malformed URLs — e.g. 'http://127.0.0.1:6153export' from a broken
shell config — the OpenAI/httpx client throws a cryptic 'Invalid port'
error that doesn't identify the offending variable.
Add _validate_proxy_env_urls() and _validate_base_url() in
auxiliary_client.py, called from resolve_provider_client() and
_create_openai_client() to fail fast with a clear, actionable error
message naming the broken env var or URL.

Found via trace data audit: JWT tokens (eyJ...) and Discord snowflake
mentions (<@ID>) were passing through unredacted.
JWT pattern: matches 1/2/3-part tokens starting with eyJ (base64 for '{').
Zero false-positive risk — no normal text matches eyJ + 10+ base64url chars.
Discord pattern: matches <@digits> and <@!digits> with 17-20 digit snowflake
IDs. Syntactically unique to Discord's mention format.
Both patterns follow the same structural-uniqueness standard as existing
prefix patterns (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, etc.).
_parse_session_key() blindly assigned parts[5] as thread_id for all
chat types. For group sessions with per-user isolation, parts[5] is
a user_id, not a thread_id. This could cause shutdown notifications
to route with incorrect thread metadata.
Only return thread_id for chat types where the 6th element is
unambiguous: dm and thread. For group/channel sessions, omit
thread_id since the suffix may be a user_id.
Based on the approach from PR #9938 by @Ruzzgar.
OpenCode Go does not expose a shared /models endpoint, so the doctor
probe was always failing and producing a false warning. Set the default
URL to None and disable the health check for this provider.
Both /queue and /quit registered 'q' as an alias. Since /quit appeared
later in COMMAND_REGISTRY, _build_command_lookup() silently overwrote
/queue's claim, making the documented /queue shorthand unusable.
Fix: remove 'q' from /quit's aliases. /quit already has 'exit' as an
alias plus the full '/quit' command. /queue has no other short alias.
Closes#10467
The recovery block previously only retried (continue) when one of the
per-component sanitization checks (messages, tools, system prompt,
headers, credentials) found and stripped non-ASCII content. When the
non-ASCII lived only in api_messages' reasoning_content field (which
is built from messages['reasoning'] and not checked by the original
_sanitize_messages_non_ascii), all checks returned False and the
recovery fell through to the normal error path — burning a retry
attempt despite _force_ascii_payload being set.
Now the recovery always continues (retries) when _is_ascii_codec is
detected. The _force_ascii_payload flag guarantees the next iteration
runs _sanitize_structure_non_ascii(api_kwargs) on the full API payload,
catching any remaining non-ASCII regardless of where it lives.
Also adds test for the 'reasoning' field on canonical messages.
Fixes#6843
The ASCII-locale recovery path in run_agent.py sanitized the canonical
'messages' list but left 'api_messages' untouched. api_messages is a
separate API-copy built before the retry loop and may carry extra fields
(reasoning_content, extra_body entries) that are not present in
'messages'. This caused the retry to still raise UnicodeEncodeError even
after the 'System encoding is ASCII — stripped...' log line appeared.
Two changes:
- _sanitize_messages_non_ascii now walks all extra top-level string fields
in each message dict (any key not in {content, name, tool_calls, role})
so reasoning_content and future extras are cleaned in both 'messages'
and 'api_messages'.
- The ASCII-codec recovery block now also calls sanitize on api_messages
and api_kwargs so no non-ASCII survives into the next retry attempt.
Adds regression tests covering:
- reasoning_content with non-ASCII in api_messages
- extra_body with non-ASCII in api_kwargs
- canonical messages clean but api_messages dirty
Fixes#6843
After clear_session_vars() reset contextvars to their default (''),
get_session_env() treated the empty string as falsy and fell through
to os.environ — resurrecting stale HERMES_SESSION_* values from CLI
startup, cron, or previous sessions. This broke session isolation
in the gateway where concurrent messages could see each other's
stale environment values.
Fix: use a sentinel (_UNSET) as the contextvar default instead of ''.
get_session_env() now checks 'value is not _UNSET' instead of
truthiness. Three states are cleanly distinguished:
- _UNSET (never set): fall back to os.environ (CLI/cron compat)
- '' (explicitly cleared): return '' — no os.environ fallback
- 'telegram' (actively set): return the value
clear_session_vars() now uses var.set('') instead of var.reset(token)
to mark vars as explicitly cleared rather than reverting to _UNSET.
Closes#10304
When a model (e.g. mimo-v2-pro) streams intermediate text alongside tool
calls ("Let me search for that") but then returns empty after processing
tool results, the stream consumer already_sent flag is True from the
earlier text delivery. The gateway suppression check
(already_sent=True, failed=False → return None) would swallow the final
response, leaving the user staring at silence after the search.
Two changes:
1. gateway/run.py return path: skip already_sent suppression when the
final_response is "(empty)" or empty — the user needs to know the
agent finished even if streaming sent partial content earlier.
2. gateway/run.py response handler: convert the internal "(empty)"
sentinel to a user-friendly warning instead of delivering the raw
sentinel string.
Tests added for all empty/None/sentinel cases plus preserved existing
suppression behavior for normal non-empty responses.
Memory provider discovery (discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider)
only scanned the bundled plugins/memory/ directory. User-installed providers
at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/ were invisible, forcing users to symlink
into the repo source tree — which broke on hermes update and created a
dual-registration path causing duplicate tool names (400 errors on strict
providers like Xiaomi MiMo).
Changes:
- Add _get_user_plugins_dir(), _is_memory_provider_dir(), _iter_provider_dirs(),
and find_provider_dir() helpers to plugins/memory/__init__.py
- discover_memory_providers() now scans both bundled and user dirs
- load_memory_provider() uses find_provider_dir() (bundled-first)
- discover_plugin_cli_commands() uses find_provider_dir()
- _install_dependencies() in memory_setup.py uses find_provider_dir()
- User plugins use _hermes_user_memory namespace to avoid sys.modules collisions
- Non-memory user plugins filtered via source text heuristic
- Bundled providers always take precedence on name collisions

Discord's _register_slash_commands() had a hardcoded list of ~27 commands
while COMMAND_REGISTRY defines 34+ gateway-available commands. Missing
commands (debug, branch, rollback, snapshot, profile, yolo, fast, reload,
commands) were invisible in Discord's / autocomplete — users couldn't
discover them.
Add a dynamic catch-all loop after the explicit registrations that
iterates COMMAND_REGISTRY, skips already-registered commands, and
auto-registers the rest using discord.app_commands.Command(). Commands
with args_hint get an optional string parameter; parameterless commands
get a simple callback.
This ensures any future commands added to COMMAND_REGISTRY automatically
appear on Discord without needing a manual entry in discord.py.
Telegram and Slack already derive dynamically from COMMAND_REGISTRY
via telegram_bot_commands() and slack_subcommand_map() — no changes
needed there.
When a user runs /browser connect to attach browser tools to their real
Chrome instance via CDP, the BROWSER_CDP_URL env var is set. However,
every browser tool function checks _is_camofox_mode() first, which
short-circuits to the Camofox backend before _get_session_info() ever
checks for the CDP override.
Fix: is_camofox_mode() now returns False when BROWSER_CDP_URL is set,
so the explicit CDP connection takes priority. This is the correct
behavior — /browser connect is an intentional user override.

Models (especially open-source like qwen3.5-plus) may send non-int values
for the limit parameter — None (JSON null), string, or even a type object.
This caused TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'int' and

Changes:
- Add defensive int coercion at session_search() entry with fallback to 3
- Clamp limit to [1, 5] range (was only capped at 5, not floored)
- Add tests for None, type object, string, negative, and zero limit values

Memory provider plugins (e.g. Mnemosyne) can register tools via two paths:
1. Plugin system (ctx.register_tool) → tool registry → get_tool_definitions()
2. Memory manager → get_all_tool_schemas() → direct append in AIAgent.__init__
Path 2 blindly appended without checking if path 1 already added the same
tool names. This created duplicate function names in the tools array sent
to the API. Most providers silently handle duplicates, but Xiaomi MiMo
(via Nous Portal) strictly rejects them with a 400 Bad Request.
Fix: build a set of existing tool names before memory manager injection
and skip any tool whose name is already present.
Confirmed via live testing against Nous Portal:
- Unique tool names → 200 OK
- Duplicate tool names → 400 'Provider returned error'
- Pastes uploaded by /debug now auto-delete after 1 hour via a detached
background process that sends DELETE to paste.rs
- CLI: shows privacy notice listing what data will be uploaded
- Gateway: only uploads summary report (system info + log tails), NOT
full log files containing conversation content
- Added 'hermes debug delete <url>' for immediate manual deletion
- 16 new tests covering auto-delete scheduling, paste deletion, privacy
notices, and the delete subcommand
Addresses user privacy concern where /debug uploaded full conversation
logs to a public paste service with no warning or expiry.
Two gateway fixes:
1. MessageDeduplicator.is_duplicate() now checks TTL at query time (#10306)
Previously, is_duplicate() returned True for any previously seen ID
without checking its age — expired entries were only purged when cache
size exceeded max_size. On normal workloads that never overflow, message
IDs stayed deduplicated forever instead of expiring after the TTL.
Fix: check `now - timestamp < ttl` before returning True. Expired
entries are removed and treated as new messages.
2. Gateway --config flag now uses yaml.safe_load() (#10216)
The --config CLI flag in gateway/run.py main() used json.load() to
parse config files. YAML is the only documented config format and
every other config loader uses yaml.safe_load(). A YAML config file
passed via --config would crash with json.JSONDecodeError.
Closes#10306Closes#10216
The on_memory_write bridge that notifies external memory providers
(ClawMem, retaindb, supermemory, etc.) of built-in memory writes was
only present in the concurrent tool execution path (_invoke_tool).
The sequential path (_execute_tool_calls_sequential) — which handles
all single tool calls, the common case — was missing it entirely.
This meant external memory providers silently missed every single-call
memory write, which is the vast majority of memory operations.
Fix: add the identical bridge block to the sequential path, right
after the memory_tool call returns.
Closes#10174
Multiple gaps in activity tracking could cause the gateway's inactivity
timeout to fire while the agent is actively working:
1. Streaming wait loop had no periodic heartbeat — the outer thread only
touched activity when the stale-stream detector fired (180-300s), and
for local providers (Ollama) the stale timeout was infinity, meaning
zero heartbeats. Now touches activity every 30s.
2. Concurrent tool execution never set the activity callback on worker
threads (threading.local invisible across threads) and never set
_current_tool. Workers now set the callback, and the concurrent wait
uses a polling loop with 30s heartbeats.
3. Modal backend's execute() override had its own polling loop without
any activity callback. Now matches _wait_for_process cadence (10s).
The _client_cache used event loop id() as part of the cache key, so
every new worker-thread event loop created a new entry for the same
provider config. In long-running gateways where threads are recycled
frequently, this caused unbounded cache growth — each stale entry
held an unclosed AsyncOpenAI client with its httpx connection pool,
eventually exhausting file descriptors.
Fix: remove loop_id from the cache key and instead validate on each
async cache hit that the cached loop is the current, open loop. If
the loop changed or was closed, the stale entry is replaced in-place
rather than creating an additional entry. This bounds cache growth
to at most one entry per unique provider config.
Also adds a _CLIENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE (64) safety belt with FIFO
eviction as defense-in-depth against any remaining unbounded growth.
Cross-loop safety is preserved: different event loops still get
different client instances (validated by existing test suite).
Closes#10200
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end

Replace hasattr-forked OpenViking-specific paths with a proper base-class
hook. Collapse the two agent wrappers into a single rotate_memory_session
so callers don't orchestrate commit + rebind themselves.
- MemoryProvider: add on_session_reset(new_session_id) as a default no-op
- MemoryManager: on_session_reset fans out unconditionally (no hasattr,
no builtin skip — base no-op covers it)
- OpenViking: rename reset_session -> on_session_reset; drop the explicit
POST /api/v1/sessions (OV auto-creates on first message) and the two
debug raise_for_status wrappers
- AIAgent: collapse commit_memory_session + reinitialize_memory_session
into rotate_memory_session(new_sid, messages)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: replace hasattr blocks and the split calls with
a single unconditional rotate_memory_session call; compression path
now passes the real messages list instead of []
- tests: align with on_session_reset, assert reset does NOT POST /sessions

The OpenViking memory provider extracts memories when its session is
committed (POST /api/v1/sessions/{id}/commit). Before this fix, the
CLI had two code paths that changed the active session_id without ever
committing the outgoing OpenViking session:
1. /new (new_session() in cli.py) — called flush_memories() to write
MEMORY.md, then immediately discarded the old session_id. The
accumulated OpenViking session was never committed, so all context
from that session was lost before extraction could run.
2. /compress and auto-compress (_compress_context() in run_agent.py) —
split the SQLite session (new session_id) but left the OpenViking
provider pointing at the old session_id with no commit, meaning all
messages synced to OpenViking were silently orphaned.
The gateway already handles session commit on /new and /reset via
shutdown_memory_provider() on the cached agent; the CLI path did not.
Fix: introduce a lightweight session-transition lifecycle alongside
the existing full shutdown path:
- OpenVikingMemoryProvider.reset_session(new_session_id): waits for
in-flight background threads, resets per-session counters, and
creates the new OV session via POST /api/v1/sessions — without
tearing down the HTTP client (avoids connection overhead on /new).
- MemoryManager.restart_session(new_session_id): calls reset_session()
on providers that implement it; falls back to initialize() for
providers that do not. Skips the builtin provider (no per-session
state).
- AIAgent.commit_memory_session(messages): wraps
memory_manager.on_session_end() without shutdown — commits OV session
for extraction but leaves the provider alive for the next session.
- AIAgent.reinitialize_memory_session(new_session_id): wraps
memory_manager.restart_session() — transitions all external providers
to the new session after session_id has been assigned.
Call sites:
- cli.py new_session(): commit BEFORE session_id changes, reinitialize
AFTER — ensuring OV extraction runs on the correct session and the
new session is immediately ready for the next turn.
- run_agent._compress_context(): same pattern, inside the
if self._session_db: block where the session_id split happens.
/compress and auto-compress are functionally identical at this layer:
both call _compress_context(), so both are fixed by the same change.
Tests added to tests/agent/test_memory_provider.py:
- TestMemoryManagerRestartSession: reset_session() routing, builtin
skip, initialize() fallback, failure tolerance, empty-manager noop.
- TestOpenVikingResetSession: session_id update, per-session state
clear, POST /api/v1/sessions call, API failure tolerance, no-client
noop.

_parse_session_key() now extracts the optional 6th part (thread_id) from
session keys, and _notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown uses _parsed.get()
instead of the removed 'parts' variable. Without this, shutdown notifications
silently failed (NameError caught by try/except) and forum topic routing
was lost.
- Populate watcher_* routing fields for watch-only processes (not just
notify_on_complete), so watch-pattern events carry direct metadata
instead of relying solely on session_key parsing fallback
- Extract _parse_session_key() helper to dedupe session key parsing
at two call sites in gateway/run.py
- Add negative test proving cross-thread leakage doesn't happen
- Add edge-case tests for _build_process_event_source returning None
(empty evt, invalid platform, short session_key)
- Add unit tests for _parse_session_key helper
Follow-up to #10459 (salvage of #7527). The copy_context() fix propagates
ALL ContextVars into the cron worker thread, including credential_files.
This test verifies that skill-declared required_credential_files are
visible inside the worker thread, matching the existing env_passthrough
regression test.
- Fix file handle closed before POST: nest session.post() inside
the 'with open()' block so aiohttp can read the file during upload
- Update warning text to include weixin (also supports media delivery)
- Add 8 unit tests covering: text+media, media-only, missing files,
upload failures, multiple files, and _send_to_platform routing
* fix(gateway): suppress duplicate replies on interrupt and streaming flood control
Three fixes for the duplicate reply bug affecting all gateway platforms:
1. base.py: Suppress stale response when the session was interrupted by a
new message that hasn't been consumed yet. Checks both interrupt_event
and _pending_messages to avoid false positives. (#8221, #2483)
2. run.py (return path): Remove response_previewed guard from already_sent
check. Stream consumer's already_sent alone is authoritative — if
content was delivered via streaming, the duplicate send must be
suppressed regardless of the agent's response_previewed flag. (#8375)
3. run.py (queued-message path): Same fix — already_sent without
response_previewed now correctly marks the first response as already
streamed, preventing re-send before processing the queued message.
The response_previewed field is still produced by the agent (run_agent.py)
but is no longer required as a gate for duplicate suppression. The stream
consumer's already_sent flag is the delivery-level truth about what the
user actually saw.
Concepts from PR #8380 (konsisumer). Closes#8375, #8221, #2483.
* fix(cron): include job_id in delivery and guide models on removal workflow
Users reported cron reminders keep firing after asking the agent to stop.
Root cause: the conversational agent didn't know the job_id (not in delivery)
and models don't reliably do the list→remove two-step without guidance.
1. Include job_id in the cron delivery wrapper so users and agents can
reference it when requesting removal.
2. Replace confusing footer ('The agent cannot see this message') with
actionable guidance ('To stop or manage this job, send me a new
message').
3. Add explicit list→remove guidance in the cronjob tool schema so models
know to list first and never guess job IDs.

With store=False (our default for the Responses API), the API does not
persist response items. When reasoning items with 'id' fields were
replayed on subsequent turns, the API attempted a server-side lookup
for those IDs and returned 404:
Item with id 'rs_...' not found. Items are not persisted when store
is set to false.
The encrypted_content blob is self-contained for reasoning chain
continuity — the id field is unnecessary and triggers the failed lookup.
Fix: strip 'id' from reasoning items in both _chat_messages_to_responses_input
(message conversion) and _preflight_codex_input_items (normalization layer).
The id is still used for local deduplication but never sent to the API.
Reported by @zuogl448 on GPT-5.4.
Matrix room IDs contain ! and : which must be percent-encoded in URI
path segments per the Matrix C-S spec. Without encoding, some
homeservers reject the PUT request.
Also adds 'matrix:!roomid:server.org' and 'matrix:@user:server.org'
to the tool schema examples so models know the correct target format.
hermes doctor now checks whether the ~/.local/bin/hermes symlink exists
and points to the correct venv entry point. With --fix, it creates or
repairs the symlink automatically.
Covers:
- Missing symlink at ~/.local/bin/hermes (or $PREFIX/bin on Termux)
- Symlink pointing to wrong target
- Missing venv entry point (venv/bin/hermes or .venv/bin/hermes)
- PATH warning when ~/.local/bin is not on PATH
- Skipped on Windows (different mechanism)
Addresses user report: 'python -m hermes_cli.main doesn't have an option
to fix the local bin/install'
10 new tests covering all scenarios.
On some Python versions, argparse fails to route subcommand tokens when
the parent parser has nargs='?' optional arguments (--continue). The
symptom: 'hermes model' produces 'unrecognized arguments: model' even
though 'model' is a registered subcommand.
Fix: when argv contains a token matching a known subcommand, set
subparsers.required=True to force deterministic routing. If that fails
(e.g. 'hermes -c model' where 'model' is consumed as the session name
for --continue), fall back to the default optional-subparsers behaviour.
Adds 13 tests covering all key argument combinations.
Reported via user screenshot showing the exact error on an installed
version with the model subcommand listed in usage but rejected at parse
time.
The existing recovery block sanitized self.api_key and
self._client_kwargs['api_key'] but did not update self.client.api_key.
The OpenAI SDK stores its own copy of api_key and reads it dynamically
via the auth_headers property on every request. Without this fix, the
retry after sanitization would still send the corrupted key in the
Authorization header, causing the same UnicodeEncodeError.
The bug manifests when an API key contains Unicode lookalike characters
(e.g. ʋ U+028B instead of v) from copy-pasting out of PDFs, rich-text
editors, or web pages with decorative fonts. httpx hard-encodes all
HTTP headers as ASCII, so the non-ASCII char in the Authorization
header triggers the error.
Adds TestApiKeyClientSync with two tests verifying:
- All three key locations are synced after sanitization
- Recovery handles client=None (pre-init) without crashing
Previously, non-integer context_length values (e.g. '256K') in
config.yaml were silently ignored, causing the agent to fall back
to 128K auto-detection with no user feedback. This was confusing
for users with custom LiteLLM endpoints expecting larger context.
Now prints a clear stderr warning and logs at WARNING level when
model.context_length or custom_providers[].models.<model>.context_length
cannot be parsed as an integer, telling users to use plain integers
(e.g. 256000 instead of '256K').
Reported by community user ChFarhan via Discord.
When a user sends a message while the agent is executing a task on the
gateway, the agent is now interrupted immediately — not silently queued.
Previously, messages were stored in _pending_messages with zero feedback
to the user, potentially leaving them waiting 1+ hours.
Root cause: Level 1 guard (base.py) intercepted all messages for active
sessions and returned with no response. Level 2 (gateway/run.py) which
calls agent.interrupt() was never reached.
Fix: Expand _handle_active_session_busy_message to handle the normal
(non-draining) case:
1. Call running_agent.interrupt(text) to abort in-flight tool calls
and exit the agent loop at the next check point
2. Store the message as pending so it becomes the next turn once the
interrupted run returns
3. Send a brief ack: 'Interrupting current task (10 min elapsed,
iteration 21/60, running: terminal). I'll respond shortly.'
4. Debounce acks to once per 30s to avoid spam on rapid messages

Based on work by alanjds (PR #3996) and malaiwah (PR #8115).
Closes#4084.
When compression fails after max attempts, the agent returns
{completed: False, partial: True} but was missing the 'failed' flag.
The gateway's agent_failed_early guard checked for 'failed' AND
'not final_response', but _run_agent_blocking always converts errors
to final_response — making the guard dead code. This caused the
oversized session to persist, creating an infinite fail loop where
every subsequent message hits the same compression failure.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: add 'failed: True' and 'compression_exhausted: True'
to all 5 compression-exhaustion return paths
- gateway/run.py (_run_agent_blocking): forward 'failed' and
'compression_exhausted' flags through to the caller
- gateway/run.py (_handle_message_with_agent): fix agent_failed_early
to check bool(failed) without the broken 'not final_response' clause;
auto-reset the session when compression is exhausted so the next
message starts fresh
- Update tests to match new guard logic and add
TestCompressionExhaustedFlag test class
Closes#9893
The /v1/responses endpoint generated a new UUID session_id for every
request, even when previous_response_id was provided. This caused each
turn of a multi-turn conversation to appear as a separate session on the
web dashboard, despite the conversation history being correctly chained.
Fix: store session_id alongside the response in the ResponseStore, and
reuse it when a subsequent request chains via previous_response_id.
Applies to both the non-streaming /v1/responses path and the streaming
SSE path. The /v1/runs endpoint also gains session continuity from
stored responses (explicit body.session_id still takes priority).
Adds test verifying session_id is preserved across chained requests.
The streaming path emits output as content-part arrays for Open WebUI
compatibility, but the batch (non-streaming) Responses API path must
return output as a plain string per the OpenAI Responses API spec.
Reverts the _extract_output_items change from the cherry-picked commits
while preserving the streaming path's array format.
API keys containing Unicode lookalike characters (e.g. ʋ U+028B instead
of v) cause UnicodeEncodeError when httpx encodes the Authorization
header as ASCII. This commonly happens when users copy-paste keys from
PDFs, rich-text editors, or web pages with decorative fonts.
Three layers of defense:
1. **Save-time validation** (hermes_cli/config.py):
_check_non_ascii_credential() strips non-ASCII from credential values
when saving to .env, with a clear warning explaining the issue.
2. **Load-time sanitization** (hermes_cli/env_loader.py):
_sanitize_loaded_credentials() strips non-ASCII from credential env
vars (those ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY) after dotenv
loads them, so the rest of the codebase never sees non-ASCII keys.
3. **Runtime recovery** (run_agent.py):
The UnicodeEncodeError recovery block now also sanitizes self.api_key
and self._client_kwargs['api_key'], fixing the gap where message/tool
sanitization succeeded but the API key still caused httpx to fail on
the Authorization header.
Also: hermes_logging.py RotatingFileHandler now explicitly sets
encoding='utf-8' instead of relying on locale default (defensive
hardening for ASCII-locale systems).
Previously, systemd_restart() sent SIGUSR1 to the gateway, printed
'restart requested', and returned immediately. The gateway still
needed to drain active agents, exit with code 75, wait for systemd's
RestartSec=30, and start the new process. The user saw 'success' but
the gateway was actually down for 30-60 seconds.
Now the SIGUSR1 path blocks with progress feedback:
Phase 1 — wait for old process to die:
⏳ User service draining active work...
Polls os.kill(pid, 0) until ProcessLookupError (up to 90s)
Phase 2 — wait for new process to become active:
⏳ Waiting for hermes-gateway to restart...
Polls systemctl is-active + verifies new PID (up to 60s)
Success:
✓ User service restarted (PID 12345)
Timeout:
⚠ User service did not become active within 60s.
Check status: hermes gateway status
Check logs: journalctl --user -u hermes-gateway --since '2 min ago'
The reload-or-restart fallback path (line 1189) already blocks because
systemctl reload-or-restart is synchronous.
Test plan:
- Updated test to verify wait-for-restart behavior
- All 118 gateway CLI tests pass
When a session gets stuck (hung terminal, runaway tool loop) and the
user restarts the gateway, the same session history loads and puts the
agent right back in the stuck state. The user is trapped in a loop:
restart → stuck → restart → stuck.
Fix: track restart-failure counts per session using a simple JSON file
(.restart_failure_counts). On each shutdown with active agents, the
counter increments for those sessions. On startup, if any session has
been active across 3+ consecutive restarts, it's auto-suspended —
giving the user a clean slate on their next message.
The counter resets to 0 when a session completes a turn successfully
(response delivered), so normal sessions that happen to be active
during planned restarts (/restart, hermes update) won't accumulate
false counts.
Implementation:
- _increment_restart_failure_counts(): called during stop() when
agents are active. Writes {session_key: count} to JSON file.
Sessions NOT active are dropped (loop broken).
- _suspend_stuck_loop_sessions(): called on startup. Reads the file,
suspends sessions at threshold (3), clears the file.
- _clear_restart_failure_count(): called after successful response
delivery. Removes the session from the counter file.
No SessionEntry schema changes. No database migration. Pure file-based
tracking that naturally cleans up.
Test plan:
- 9 new stuck-loop tests (increment, accumulate, threshold, clear,
suspend, file cleanup, edge cases)
- All 28 gateway lifecycle tests pass (restart drain + auto-continue
+ stuck loop)
When the gateway restarts mid-agent-work, the session transcript ends
on a tool result the agent never processed. Previously, the user had
to type 'continue' or use /retry (which replays from scratch, losing
all prior work).
Now, when the next user message arrives and the loaded history ends
with role='tool', a system note is prepended:
[System note: Your previous turn was interrupted before you could
process the last tool result(s). Please finish processing those
results and summarize what was accomplished, then address the
user's new message below.]
This is injected in _run_agent()'s run_sync closure, right before
calling agent.run_conversation(). The agent sees the full history
(including the pending tool results) and the system note, so it can
summarize what was accomplished and then handle the user's new input.
Design decisions:
- No new session flags or schema changes — purely detects trailing
tool messages in the loaded history
- Works for any restart scenario (clean, crash, SIGTERM, drain timeout)
as long as the session wasn't suspended (suspended = fresh start)
- The user's actual message is preserved after the note
- If the session WAS suspended (unclean shutdown), the old history is
abandoned and the user starts fresh — no false auto-continue
Also updates the shutdown notification message from 'Use /retry after
restart to continue' to 'Send any message after restart to resume
where it left off' — which is now accurate.
Test plan:
- 6 new auto-continue tests (trailing tool detection, no false
positives for assistant/user/empty history, multi-tool, message
preservation)
- All 13 restart drain tests pass (updated /retry assertion)
Refactor browser tool PATH construction to include Termux directories
(/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin, /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/sbin)

Extracts _browser_candidate_path_dirs() and _merge_browser_path() helpers
to centralize PATH construction shared between _find_agent_browser() and
_run_browser_command(), replacing duplicated inline logic.
Also fixes os.pathsep usage (was hardcoded ':') for cross-platform correctness.

Instead of consuming one top-level slash command slot per skill (hitting the
100-command limit with ~26 built-ins + 74 skills), skills are now organized
under a single /skill group command with category-based subcommand groups:
/skill creative ascii-art [args]
/skill media gif-search [args]
/skill mlops axolotl [args]
Discord supports 25 subcommand groups × 25 subcommands = 625 max skills,
well beyond the previous 74-slot ceiling.
Categories are derived from the skill directory structure:
- skills/creative/ascii-art/ → category 'creative'
- skills/mlops/training/axolotl/ → category 'mlops' (top-level parent)
- skills/dogfood/ → uncategorized (direct subcommand)
Changes:
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add discord_skill_commands_by_category() with
category grouping, hub/disabled filtering, Discord limit enforcement
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: replace top-level skill registration with
_register_skill_group() using app_commands.Group hierarchy
- tests: 7 new tests covering group creation, category grouping,
uncategorized skills, hub exclusion, deep nesting, empty skills,
and handler dispatch
Inspired by Discord community suggestion from bottium.
Add dangerous command patterns that require approval when the agent
tries to run gateway lifecycle commands via the terminal tool:
- hermes gateway stop/restart — kills all running agents mid-work
- hermes update — pulls code and restarts the gateway
- systemctl restart/stop (with optional flags like --user)
These patterns fire the approval prompt so the user must explicitly
approve before the agent can kill its own gateway process. In YOLO
mode, the commands run without approval (by design — YOLO means the
user accepts all risks).
Also fixes the existing systemctl pattern to handle flags between
the command and action (e.g. 'systemctl --user restart' was previously
undetected because the regex expected the action immediately after
'systemctl').
Root cause: issue #6666 reported agents running 'hermes gateway
restart' via terminal, killing the gateway process mid-agent-loop.
The user sees the agent suddenly stop responding with no explanation.
Combined with the SIGTERM auto-recovery from PR #9875, the gateway
now both prevents accidental self-destruction AND recovers if it
happens anyway.
Test plan:
- Updated test_systemctl_restart_not_flagged → test_systemctl_restart_flagged
- All 119 approval tests pass
- E2E verified: hermes gateway restart, hermes update, systemctl
--user restart all detected; hermes gateway status, systemctl
status remain safe
- TestHealthDetailedEndpoint: 3 tests for the new API server endpoint
(returns runtime data, handles missing status, no auth required)
- TestProbeGatewayHealth: 5 tests for _probe_gateway_health()
(URL normalization, successful/failed probes, fallback chain)
- TestStatusRemoteGateway: 4 tests for /api/status remote fallback
(remote probe triggers, skipped when local PID found, null PID handling)
Feishu approval clicks need the resolved card to come back from the

Three fixes for gateway lifecycle stability:
1. Notify active sessions before shutdown (#new)
When the gateway receives SIGTERM or /restart, it now sends a
notification to every chat with an active agent BEFORE starting
the drain. Users see:
- Shutdown: 'Gateway shutting down — your task will be interrupted.'
- Restart: 'Gateway restarting — use /retry after restart to continue.'
Deduplicates per-chat so group sessions with multiple users get
one notification. Best-effort: send failures are logged and swallowed.
2. Skip .clean_shutdown marker when drain timed out
Previously, a graceful SIGTERM always wrote .clean_shutdown, even if
agents were force-interrupted when the drain timed out. This meant
the next startup skipped session suspension, leaving interrupted
sessions in a broken state (trailing tool response, no final message).
Now the marker is only written if the drain completed without timeout,
so interrupted sessions get properly suspended on next startup.
3. Post-restart health check for hermes update (#6631)
cmd_update() now verifies the gateway actually survived after
systemctl restart (sleep 3s + is-active check). If the service
crashed immediately, it retries once. If still dead, prints
actionable diagnostics (journalctl command, manual restart hint).
Also closes#8104 — already fixed on main (the /restart handler
correctly detects systemd via INVOCATION_ID and uses via_service=True).
Test plan:
- 6 new tests for shutdown notifications (dedup, restart vs shutdown
messaging, sentinel filtering, send failure resilience)
- Existing restart drain + update tests pass (47 total)
Seed qwen-oauth credentials from resolve_qwen_runtime_credentials() in
_seed_from_singletons(). Users who authenticate via 'qwen auth qwen-oauth'

Seed copilot credentials from resolve_copilot_token() in the credential

Cherry-picked from PR #9767 by Marvae.
Follow-up for cherry-picked PR #9746 — three pre-existing tests used
adapter._webhook_url (bare URL) in mock data, but _register_webhook
and _unregister_webhook now compare against _webhook_register_url
(password-bearing URL). Updated to match.
When BlueBubbles posts webhook events to the adapter, it uses the exact
URL registered via /api/v1/webhook — and BB's registration API does not
support custom headers. The adapter currently registers the bare URL
(no credentials), but then requires password auth on inbound POSTs,
rejecting every webhook with HTTP 401.
This is masked on fresh BB installs by a race condition: the webhook
might register once with a prior (possibly patched) URL and keep working
until the first restart. On v0.9.0, _unregister_webhook runs on clean
shutdown, so the next startup re-registers with the bare URL and the
401s begin. Users see the bot go silent with no obvious cause.
Root cause: there's no way to pass auth credentials from BB to the
webhook handler except via the URL itself. BB accepts query params and
preserves them on outbound POSTs.
## Fix
Introduce `_webhook_register_url` — the URL handed to BB's registration
API, with the configured password appended as a `?password=<value>`
query param. The existing webhook auth handler already accepts this
form (it reads `request.query.get("password")`), so no change to the
receive side is needed.
The bare `_webhook_url` is still used for logging and for binding the
local listener, so credentials don't leak into log output. Only the
registration/find/unregister paths use the password-bearing form.
## Notes
- Password is URL-encoded via urllib.parse.quote, handling special
characters (&, *, @, etc.) that would otherwise break parsing.
- Storing the password in BB's webhook table is not a new disclosure:
anyone with access to that table already has the BB admin password
(same credential used for every other API call).
- If `self.password` is empty (no auth configured), the register URL
is the bare URL — preserves current behavior for unauthenticated
local-only setups.

BlueBubbles v1.9+ webhook payloads for new-message events do not always
include a top-level chatGuid field on the message data object. Instead,
the chat GUID is nested under data.chats[0].guid.
The adapter currently checks five top-level fallback locations (record and
payload, snake_case and camelCase, plus payload.guid) but never looks
inside the chats array. When none of those top-level fields contain the
GUID, the adapter falls through to using the sender's phone/email as the
session chat ID.
This causes two observable bugs when a user is a participant in both a DM
and a group chat with the bot:
1. DM and group sessions merge. Every message from that user ends up with
the same session_chat_id (their own address), so the bot cannot
distinguish which thread the message came from.
2. Outbound routing becomes ambiguous. _resolve_chat_guid() iterates all
chats and returns the first one where the address appears as a
participant; group chats typically sort ahead of DMs by activity, so
replies and cron messages intended for the DM can land in a group.
This was observed in production: a user's morning brief cron delivered to
a group chat with his spouse instead of his DM thread.
The fix adds a single fallback that extracts chat_guid from
record["chats"][0]["guid"] when the top-level fields are empty. The chats
array is included in every new-message webhook payload in BB v1.9.9
(verified against a live server). It is backwards compatible: if a future
BB version starts including chatGuid at the top level, that still wins.

Addresses responsible disclosure from FuzzMind Security Lab (CVE pending).
The web dashboard API server had 36 endpoints, of which only 5 checked
the session token. The token itself was served from an unauthenticated
GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint, rendering the protection circular.
When bound to 0.0.0.0 (--host flag), all API keys, config, and cron
management were accessible to any machine on the network.
Changes:
- Add auth middleware requiring session token on ALL /api/ routes except
a small public whitelist (status, config/defaults, config/schema,
model/info)
- Remove GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint entirely; inject the token
into index.html via a <script> tag at serve time instead
- Replace all inline token comparisons (!=) with hmac.compare_digest()
to prevent timing side-channel attacks
- Block non-localhost binding by default; require --insecure flag to
override (with warning log)
- Update frontend fetchJSON() to send Authorization header on all

When GATEWAY_PROXY_URL (or gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml) is set,
the gateway becomes a thin relay: it handles platform I/O (encryption,
threading, media) and delegates all agent work to a remote Hermes API
server via POST /v1/chat/completions with SSE streaming.
This enables the primary use case of running a Matrix E2EE gateway in
Docker on Linux while the actual agent runs on the host (e.g. macOS)
with full access to local files, memory, skills, and a unified session
store. Works for any platform adapter, not just Matrix.
Configuration:
- GATEWAY_PROXY_URL env var (Docker-friendly)
- gateway.proxy_url in config.yaml
- GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env var for API auth (matches API_SERVER_KEY)
- X-Hermes-Session-Id header for session continuity
Architecture:
- _get_proxy_url() checks env var first, then config.yaml
- _run_agent_via_proxy() handles HTTP forwarding with SSE streaming
- _run_agent() delegates to proxy path when URL is configured
- Platform streaming (GatewayStreamConsumer) works through proxy
- Returns compatible result dict for session store recording
Files changed:
- gateway/run.py: proxy mode implementation (~250 lines)
- hermes_cli/config.py: GATEWAY_PROXY_URL + GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY env vars
- tests/gateway/test_proxy_mode.py: 17 tests covering config
resolution, dispatch, HTTP forwarding, error handling, message
filtering, and result shape validation
Closes discussion from Cars29 re: Matrix gateway mixed-mode issue.
The dynamic parser walker from the contributor's commit lost the profile
name tab-completion that existed in the old static generators. This adds
it back for all three shells:
- Bash: _hermes_profiles() helper, -p/--profile completion, profile
action→name completion (use/delete/show/alias/rename/export)
- Zsh: _hermes_profiles() function, -p/--profile argument spec, profile
action case with name completion
- Fish: __hermes_profiles function, -s p -l profile flag, profile action
completions
Also removes the dead fallback path in cmd_completion() that imported
the old static generators from profiles.py (parser is always available
via the lambda wiring) and adds 11 regression-prevention tests for
profile completion.
Replaces the hardcoded completion stubs in profiles.py with a dynamic
generator that walks the live argparse parser tree at runtime.
- New hermes_cli/completion.py: _walk() recursively extracts all
subcommands and flags; generate_bash/zsh/fish() produce complete
scripts with nested subcommand support
- cmd_completion now accepts the parser via closure so completions
always reflect the actual registered commands (including plugin-
registered ones like honcho)
- completion subcommand now accepts bash | zsh | fish (fish requested
in issue comments)
- Fix _SUBCOMMANDS set: add honcho, claw, plugins, acp, webhook,
memory, dump, debug, backup, import, completion, logs so that
multi-word session names after -c/-r are not broken by these commands
- Add tests/hermes_cli/test_completion.py: 17 tests covering parser
extraction, alias deduplication, bash/zsh/fish output content,
bash syntax validation, fish syntax validation, and subcommand
drift prevention
Tested on Linux (Arch). bash and fish completion verified live.
zsh script passes syntax check (zsh not installed on test machine).

Add ctx.register_skill() API so plugins can ship SKILL.md files under
a 'plugin:skill' namespace, preventing name collisions with built-in
Hermes skills. skill_view() detects the ':' separator and routes to
the plugin registry while bare names continue through the existing
flat-tree scan unchanged.
Key additions:
- agent/skill_utils: parse_qualified_name(), is_valid_namespace()
- hermes_cli/plugins: PluginContext.register_skill(), PluginManager
skill registry (find/list/remove)
- tools/skills_tool: qualified name dispatch in skill_view(),
_serve_plugin_skill() with full guards (disabled, platform,
injection scan), bundle context banner with sibling listing,
stale registry self-heal
- Hoisted _INJECTION_PATTERNS to module level (dedup)
- Updated skill_view schema description
Based on PR #9334 by N0nb0at. Lean P1 salvage — omits autogen shim
(P2) for a simpler first merge.
Closes#8422
- test_auth_commands: suppress _seed_from_singletons auto-seeding that
adds extra credentials from CI env (same pattern as nearby tests)
- test_interrupt: clear stale _interrupted_threads set to prevent
thread ident reuse from prior tests in same xdist worker
- test_code_execution: add watch_patterns to _BLOCKED_TERMINAL_PARAMS
to match production _TERMINAL_BLOCKED_PARAMS
During rapid tool-calling, the model often emits 1-2 tokens before
switching to tool calls. The stream consumer would create a new message
with 'X ▉' (short text + cursor), and if the follow-up edit to strip
the cursor was rate-limited by the platform, the cursor remained as
a permanent standalone message — reported on Telegram as 'white box'
artifacts.
Add a minimum-content guard in _send_or_edit: when creating a new
standalone message (no existing message_id), require at least 4
visible characters alongside the cursor before sending. Shorter text
accumulates into the next streaming segment instead.
This prevents cursor-only 'tofu' messages across all platforms without
affecting normal streaming (edits to existing messages, final sends
without cursor, and messages with substantial text are all unaffected).

Production fixes:
- Add clear_session_context() to hermes_logging.py (fixes 48 teardown errors)
- Add clear_session() to tools/approval.py (fixes 9 setup errors)
- Add SyncError M_UNKNOWN_TOKEN check to Matrix _sync_loop (bug fix)
- Fall back to inline api_key in named custom providers when key_env
is absent (runtime_provider.py)
Test fixes:
- test_memory_user_id: use builtin+external provider pair, fix honcho
peer_name override test to match production behavior
- test_display_config: remove TestHelpers for non-existent functions
- test_auxiliary_client: fix OAuth tokens to match _is_oauth_token
patterns, replace get_vision_auxiliary_client with resolve_vision_provider_client
- test_cli_interrupt_subagent: add missing _execution_thread_id attr
- test_compress_focus: add model/provider/api_key/base_url/api_mode
to mock compressor
- test_auth_provider_gate: add autouse fixture to clean Anthropic env
vars that leak from CI secrets
- test_opencode_go_in_model_list: accept both 'built-in' and 'hermes'
source (models.dev API unavailable in CI)
- test_email: verify email Platform enum membership instead of source
inspection (build_channel_directory now uses dynamic enum loop)
- test_feishu: add bot_added/bot_deleted handler mocks to _Builder
- test_ws_auth_retry: add AsyncMock for sync_store.get_next_batch,
add _pending_megolm and _joined_rooms to Matrix adapter mocks
- test_restart_drain: monkeypatch-delete INVOCATION_ID (systemd sets
this in CI, changing the restart call signature)
- test_session_hygiene: add user_id to SessionSource
- test_session_env: use relative baseline for contextvar clear check
(pytest-xdist workers share context)
- Add Platform.QQBOT to _UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS (enables /update command)
- Add 'qqbot' to webhook cross-platform delivery routing
- Add 'qqbot' to hermes dump platform detection
- Fix test_name_property casing: 'QQBot' not 'QQBOT'
- Add _parse_qq_timestamp() for ISO 8601 + integer ms compatibility
(QQ API changed timestamp format — from PR #2411 finding)
- Wire timestamp parsing into all 4 message handlers
- Rename platform from 'qq' to 'qqbot' across all integration points
(Platform enum, toolset, config keys, import paths, file rename qq.py → qqbot.py)
- Add PLATFORM_HINTS for QQBot in prompt_builder (QQ supports markdown)
- Set SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING = False to skip streaming on QQ
(prevents duplicate messages from non-editable partial + final sends)
- Add _send_qqbot() standalone send function for cron/send_message tool
- Add interactive _setup_qq() wizard in hermes_cli/setup.py
- Restore missing _setup_signal/email/sms/dingtalk/feishu/wecom/wecom_callback
functions that were lost during the original merge
Add a second light-mode skin option with warm brown/parchment tones,
adapted from ygd58's contribution in PR #4811. Includes completion
menu and status bar color keys for full light-terminal support.

GPT-5.4 supports none/low/medium/high/xhigh but not 'minimal'.
Users may configure 'minimal' via OpenRouter conventions, which would
cause a 400 on native OpenAI. Clamp to 'low' in the codex_responses
path before sending.
* feat(skills): add fitness-nutrition skill to optional-skills
Cherry-picked from PR #9177 by @haileymarshall.
Adds a fitness and nutrition skill for gym-goers and health-conscious users:
- Exercise search via wger API (690+ exercises, free, no auth)
- Nutrition lookup via USDA FoodData Central (380K+ foods, DEMO_KEY fallback)
- Offline body composition calculators (BMI, TDEE, 1RM, macros, body fat %)
- Pure stdlib Python, no pip dependencies
Changes from original PR:
- Moved from skills/ to optional-skills/health/ (correct location)
- Fixed BMR formula in FORMULAS.md (removed confusing -5+10, now just +5)
- Fixed author attribution to match PR submitter
- Marked USDA_API_KEY as optional (DEMO_KEY works without signup)
Also adds optional env var support to the skill readiness checker:
- New 'optional: true' field in required_environment_variables entries
- Optional vars are preserved in metadata but don't block skill readiness
- Optional vars skip the CLI capture prompt flow
- Skills with only optional missing vars show as 'available' not 'setup_needed'
* fix: auto-correct close model name matches in /model validation
When a user types a model name with a minor typo (e.g. gpt5.3-codex instead
of gpt-5.3-codex), the validation now auto-corrects to the closest match
instead of accepting the wrong name with a warning.
Uses difflib get_close_matches with cutoff=0.9 to avoid false corrections
(e.g. gpt-5.3 should not silently become gpt-5.4). Applied consistently
across all three validation paths: codex provider, custom endpoints, and
generic API-probed providers.
The validate_requested_model() return dict gains an optional corrected_model
key that switch_model() applies before building the result.
Reported by Discord user — /model gpt5.3-codex was accepted with a warning
but would fail at the API level.

During custom endpoint setup, users are now asked for a display name
with the auto-generated name as the default. Typing 'Ollama' or
'LM Studio' replaces the generic 'Local (localhost:11434)' in the
provider menu.
Extracts _auto_provider_name() for reuse and adds a name= parameter
to _save_custom_provider() so the caller can pass through the
user-chosen label.
Models like MiniMax emit inline <think>...</think> reasoning blocks in
their content field. The CLI already suppresses these via a state machine
in _stream_delta, but the gateway's GatewayStreamConsumer had no
equivalent filtering — raw think blocks were streamed directly to
Discord/Telegram/Slack.
The fix adds a _filter_and_accumulate() method that mirrors the CLI's
approach: a state machine tracks whether we're inside a reasoning block
and silently discards the content. Includes the same block-boundary
check (tag must appear at line start or after whitespace-only prefix)
to avoid false positives when models mention <think> in prose.
Handles all tag variants: <think>, <thinking>, <THINKING>, <thought>,
<reasoning>, <REASONING_SCRATCHPAD>.
Also handles edge cases:
- Tags split across streaming deltas (partial tag buffering)
- Unclosed blocks (content suppressed until stream ends)
- Multiple consecutive blocks
- _flush_think_buffer on stream end for held-back partial tags
Adds 22 unit tests + 1 integration test covering all scenarios.
Plugins can now return {"action": "block", "message": "reason"} from
their pre_tool_call hook to prevent a tool from executing. The error
message is returned to the model as a tool result so it can adjust.
Covers both execution paths: handle_function_call (model_tools.py) and
agent-level tools (run_agent.py _invoke_tool + sequential/concurrent).
Blocked tools skip all side effects (counter resets, checkpoints,
callbacks, read-loop tracker).
Adds skip_pre_tool_call_hook flag to avoid double-firing the hook when
run_agent.py already checked and then calls handle_function_call.
Salvaged from PR #5385 (gianfrancopiana) and PR #4610 (oredsecurity).
When the 5-second stream_task timeout in gateway/run.py expires (due to
slow Telegram API calls from rate limiting after several messages), the
stream consumer is cancelled via asyncio.CancelledError. The
CancelledError handler did a best-effort final edit but never set
final_response_sent, so the gateway fell through to the normal send path
and delivered the full response again as a reply — causing a duplicate.
The fix: in the CancelledError handler, set final_response_sent = True
when already_sent is True (i.e., the stream consumer had already
delivered content to the user). This tells the gateway's already_sent
check that the response was delivered, preventing the duplicate send.
Adds two tests verifying the cancellation behavior:
- Cancelled with already_sent=True → final_response_sent=True (no dup)
- Cancelled with already_sent=False → final_response_sent=False (normal
send path proceeds)
