The _standalone_send() function (used by the send_message tool for
proactive/scheduled sends) has the same bare `@<id> text` bug that
send() had before PR #44444. SimpleX's `@<x>` syntax resolves x as a
display name, not a contactId — the daemon silently drops messages
when it cannot find a contact named "6".
Use the structured `/_send @<id> json [...]` form, matching what
send_image, send_document, and the send() fix already use.
Fixes#46265
Builds on the adapter list_channels() hook (cherry-picked from #43545 by
@Guoen0):
- plugins/platforms/simplex: implement list_channels() — enumerates
contacts (/contacts) and groups (/groups) over the live daemon
WebSocket into the channel directory. Returns None when the WS is
down so the directory falls back to session discovery instead of
wiping known targets.
- hermes send --list: merge configured-but-undiscovered platforms into
the listing. Previously a platform configured only via env (e.g. a
fresh SimpleX setup used for outbound sends) was silently omitted,
leaving users guessing at platform names.
- format_directory_for_display(): accept an explicit platforms view and
render empty platforms with a targeting hint instead of hiding them.
- docs: simplex hermes-send section.
Reported by Fedpostoffice on Discord (simplex missing from
hermes send --list; guessed platform names simplex-chat/simplex-relay).
SimpleX tagged unknown files application/octet-stream in media_types
but classification only handled audio/image, leaving msg_type TEXT —
run.py never injected the document context. Same bug class as #12845.
Salvage of PR #27978 cherry-picked onto current main, resolving conflicts
with main's intervening SimpleX plugin fixes (resp-envelope normalization,
health-monitor reconnect-churn fix, bare-form DM addressing).
What's new:
- Group support via SIMPLEX_GROUP_ALLOWED (comma-separated IDs or '*');
inbound items surface chat_id=group:<id> + chat_type=group. Disabled by
default so a bot in a group doesn't process every member's traffic.
- Inbound files/voice via rcvFileDescrReady (immediate /freceive) deferred
through _pending_file_transfers, replayed on rcvFileComplete. Voice notes
-> MessageType.VOICE.
- Native outbound media: send_image (PNG/JPEG + inline thumbnail), send_voice
(msgContent.type=voice), send_video, send_document. All addressed by numeric
ID via /_send ... json [...].
- MEDIA:<path> tags in agent replies stripped and dispatched as voice/document.
- Text-burst batching (HERMES_SIMPLEX_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY, default 0.8s).
- Auto-accept contact requests (SIMPLEX_AUTO_ACCEPT, default true).
- Group send path uses structured /_send #<id> json form (the bracket
#[<id>] form is parsed as display-name lookup and silently drops).
plugin.yaml bumped to 1.1.0; docs updated. All inside plugins/platforms/simplex/
- no core edits.

Do not treat lack of application-level SimpleX events as a stale WebSocket. The websockets client already uses protocol ping/pong for connection liveness, so quiet but healthy connections should not be closed by the health monitor.
Remove unused imports (F401) and duplicate/shadowed import
redefinitions (F811) across the codebase using ruff's safe
autofixes. No behavioral changes -- imports only.
- ~1400 safe autofixes applied across 644 files (net -1072 lines)
- __init__.py re-exports preserved (excluded from F401 removal so
public re-export surfaces stay intact)
- Re-exports that are imported or monkeypatched by tests but look
unused in their defining module are kept with explicit # noqa:
F401 (gateway/run.py load_dotenv; run_agent re-exports from
agent.message_sanitization, agent.context_compressor,
agent.retry_utils, agent.prompt_builder, agent.process_bootstrap,
agent.codex_responses_adapter)
- Unsafe F841 (unused-variable) fixes deliberately skipped -- those
can change behavior when the RHS has side effects
- ruff lints remain disabled in pyproject.toml (only PLW1514 is
selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change
Verification:
- python -m compileall: clean
- pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors)
- core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli,
toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway)
- static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited
module still resolves
SimpleX Chat (https://simplex.chat) is a private, decentralised messenger
with no persistent user IDs — every contact is identified by an opaque
internal ID generated at connection time. This adds it as a Hermes
gateway platform via the plugin system.
The adapter connects to a local simplex-chat daemon via WebSocket,
listens for inbound messages, and sends replies. Originally proposed in
PR #2558 as a core-modifying integration; reshaped here as a self-
contained plugin under plugins/platforms/simplex/ with no edits to any
core file. Discovery is filesystem-based (scanned by gateway.config),
and the platform identity is resolved on demand via Platform("simplex").
Plugin contract:
- check_requirements() requires SIMPLEX_WS_URL AND the websockets package
- validate_config() / is_connected() accept env or config.yaml input
- _env_enablement() seeds PlatformConfig.extra (ws_url + home_channel)
- _standalone_send() supports out-of-process cron delivery
- interactive_setup() provides a stdin wizard for hermes gateway setup
- register() wires the adapter into the registry with required_env,
install_hint, cron_deliver_env_var, allowed_users_env, and a
platform_hint for the LLM.
Lazy dependency: the websockets Python package is imported inside the
functions that need it. The plugin is importable and discoverable even
when websockets is missing — check_requirements() simply returns False
until `pip install websockets` is run. No new pyproject extras are
introduced.
Environment variables:
SIMPLEX_WS_URL WebSocket URL of the daemon (required)
SIMPLEX_ALLOWED_USERS Comma-separated allowed contact IDs
SIMPLEX_ALLOW_ALL_USERS Set true to allow all contacts
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL Default contact for cron delivery
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME Human label for the home channel
Closes#2557.
