* fix(ci): publish inline E2E evidence
Upload bounded screenshot evidence from E2E, then publish validated images
from a trusted workflow_run job to commit-pinned branches in the evidence repo.
Wait briefly for the live CI review comment marker before publishing, so
GitHub's read-after-write delay cannot leave an orphaned evidence branch.
* fix(ci): isolate privileged credentials from PR jobs
Keep App private keys and Docker Hub credentials out of PR-controlled
workflows. Use protected environments for trusted publishing and a public
repository variable for the App client ID.
* fix(ci): attach E2E evidence with restricted bot session
Replace the App-backed evidence repository publisher with gh-image uploads
from a dedicated bot session in the gh-image environment.
* fix(ci): publish validated E2E evidence from forks
Let the trusted default-branch publisher handle bounded, validated evidence
artifacts from fork PR CI without checking out or executing fork code.
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
Let the scanner report critical findings without failing. The review-label
gate owns the action-required status and blocking result, allowing the
ci-reviewed label rerun to clear both CI and the PR comment.
Composite actions cannot access the secrets context — the runner's
template engine rejects secrets.* references at load time with
'Unrecognized named-value: secrets'.
Move APP_ID and APP_PRIVATE_KEY from direct secrets.* references inside
the composite action to inputs passed by each calling workflow. The
fallback logic (GITHUB_TOKEN when APP_ID is empty, for fork PRs) stays
in the composite action's check step.
Replace the long-lived fine-grained PAT (AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT) with short-lived
(1-hour) installation access tokens minted via a new get-app-token composite
action wrapping actions/create-github-app-token@v3.2.0.
The PAT was used in 13 spots across 8 workflow files for gh CLI / GitHub API
calls. The per-repo GITHUB_TOKEN (1,000 req/hr) was getting rate-limited when
multiple workflows fire concurrently (deploy-site, skills-index, ci-timings,
supply-chain-audit, js-autofix). App installation tokens get 5,000 req/hr
per installation and are scoped to the App's permissions, not a user account.
New composite action: .github/actions/get-app-token/
- Wraps actions/create-github-app-token@bcd2ba49 (v3.2.0, SHA-pinned)
- Reads APP_ID + APP_PRIVATE_KEY repo secrets
- Outputs a 1hr installation token via steps.app-token.outputs.token
Requires two new repo secrets (set after creating the GitHub App):
- APP_ID: the App's numeric ID
- APP_PRIVATE_KEY: the PEM private key
App installation permissions needed:
contents: write (js-autofix push, pypi release upload)
pull-requests: write (js-autofix PR create/merge, supply-chain comment)
issues: write (skills-index-freshness issue creation)
actions: write (skills-index workflow trigger)
workflows: write (skills-index triggers deploy-site.yml)
The AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT secret can be deleted once CI passes on this PR.
The comment in js-autofix.yml noting that PAT pushes trigger downstream
workflows is updated — App tokens have the same property (they are not
GITHUB_TOKEN), so the concurrency-cancel loop logic is unchanged.
Replace the static comment-pending + comment-results two-job pattern
with a live-updating comment system that polls the GitHub Actions API
every 15s, re-assembles the review comment from whatever results are
available, and upserts it via the <!-- hermes-ci-review-bot --> marker.
The comment updates in real time as each job finishes — no waiting for
the full pipeline.
Every CI job that wants to appear in the review comment emits a
review_status output — a JSON array of objects, each with a source
and a results array:
[
{
"source": "review-label-gate",
"results": [
{"kind": "action_required", "title": "...", "summary": "...",
"how_to_fix": "..."},
{"kind": "info", "title": "...", "summary": "..."}
]
},
{
"source": "ci timing",
"results": [
{"kind": "warning", "title": "CI timings", "summary": "...",
"detail": "...", "link": "..."}
]
}
]
One job can emit multiple results of different kinds. The source field
is used to exclude the corresponding job from the synthesized error
list (case-insensitive, hyphen-normalized matching against GitHub
Actions job display names).
| job | source | kind (on failure) | section |
|----------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------|
| review-labels | review label gate | action_required / info | Action required |
| lockfile-diff | lockfile-diff | action_required | Action required |
| ci-timings | ci timing | warning / info | Warnings |
| supply-chain scan | supply chain | error / (none) | Job failures |
| supply-chain dep-bounds | supply chain | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| osv-scanner | osv scan | warning / (none) | Warnings |
| uv-lockfile-check | uv.lock check | action_required / (none) | Action required |
| history-check | unrelated histories | action_required | Action required |
| contributor-check | contributor attribution | action_required | Action required |
Jobs that find nothing emit [] (empty array) — no noise info items.
A single comment-live job polls the GitHub Actions API every 15s,
classifies jobs into (completed, pending), assembles the comment, and
upserts it. Merges review_status outputs from all needs jobs via
toJSON(needs.*.outputs.review_status), and downloads the ci-timings
artifact when it becomes available. Shows commit SHA + message below
the header.
The assembler has ZERO job-specific knowledge. It just:
1. collect_from_statuses() — flattens all nested status objects into ReviewItems
2. collect_failed_jobs() — synthesizes errors for failed jobs with no declared status
3. _attach_job_urls() — fills in per-job log links for ALL items
4. render_comment() — groups by severity, renders with group headers
Each item shows links inline next to the title: View report (job-emitted
URL) and View job (auto-attached logs link). Each info item is its own
collapsible <details> block.

#66373 swapped GITHUB_TOKEN -> AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across the workflows. That
PAT is empty on fork PRs (forks get no repo secrets), which broke every
fork PR two ways:
1. detect-changes classified with the empty PAT -> the compare API failed
all 3 retries -> the classifier failed open and force-enabled the
ci_review lane on EVERY fork PR.
2. The ci-reviewed / mcp-catalog-reviewed label gates then read labels with
the same empty PAT via a hard-failing retry step -> the job failed with
no recovery a fork contributor could perform (they can't self-add the
label; re-running can't fix it).
Restores the pre-#66373 fork-safe behavior without reverting the commit's
real improvements (job timeouts, per-file flake retry, network-install
retries):
- detect-changes + ci.yml: token falls back to the built-in read-only
github.token when AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT is empty. On main it uses the PAT
(authoritative); on forks it uses github.token, which can read the
public compare endpoint. (An input `default:` only applies on omission,
not on an empty passed value — hence the explicit `|| github.token`.)
- lint ci-review + supply-chain mcp-catalog gates: restore the inline
`gh pr view ... || true` label read with the github.token fallback,
dropping the hard-failing retry "Fetch PR labels" step. Graceful
degrade to "label absent" on an API blip, same as before #66373.
Same-repo enforcement is unchanged (byte-identical logic; the PAT is still
used there). Fork PRs classify correctly and the gates read labels via the
read-only token exactly as they did before the regression.
* feat(attribution): conflict-free contributor mappings via contributors/emails/ directory
The AUTHOR_MAP dict in scripts/release.py was a merge-conflict magnet:
every concurrent salvage PR appended entries to the same lines of the
same file, so parallel PRs re-conflicted on every merge to main.
New system: one file per email under contributors/emails/ — filename is
the commit-author email, first non-comment line is the GitHub login.
File additions never conflict, so any number of PRs can add mappings
concurrently.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP is now LEGACY_AUTHOR_MAP (frozen)
merged with the directory at import time (directory wins). All
existing consumers (resolve_author, contributor_audit.py) unchanged.
- scripts/add_contributor.py: idempotent CLI to add a mapping; refuses
conflicting reassignments (incl. against the legacy map), validates
email/login shapes.
- contributor-check.yml: attribution gate now accepts a mapping file OR
a legacy entry; failure message prints the exact add_contributor
command. Also auto-resolves bare <login>@users.noreply.github.com
emails is intentionally NOT added (kept id+login form only, matching
previous behavior).
- contributor_audit.py: guidance now points at add_contributor.py.
- tests/scripts/test_contributor_map.py: 12 tests covering loader,
merge precedence, CLI idempotency/conflict/validation, subprocess E2E.
* feat(ci): one-shot per-file flake retry in the parallel test runner
A failing test FILE is re-run once in a fresh subprocess. Pass-on-retry
counts as green but is loudly reported in a '⚠ FLAKY' summary section
(with both attempts' output preserved) so the flake gets fixed instead
of eating a full-run rerun. Deterministic failures fail both attempts —
regressions cannot be laundered green.
- --file-retries N / HERMES_TEST_FILE_RETRIES (default 1, 0 disables)
- E2E verified: simulated first-run-fail flake goes green with banner;
deterministic failure still exits 1; retries=0 restores old behavior.
This converts the dominant CI failure mode (one timing-sensitive test
flaking a 4600-test shard, requiring a manual 10-minute rerun and an
agent triage loop) into a self-healing retry that costs one file's
runtime.
* test(approval): loosen wall-clock perf bounds 0.15s -> 2.0s
These guard against catastrophic regex backtracking (seconds-to-minutes
class), but 0.15s is within scheduler-stall noise on loaded shared CI
runners — test_max_accepted_separator_free_input_is_fast failed a CI
shard this week on runner load alone. 2.0s still catches the regression
class with zero flake surface.
* fix(ci): job timeouts everywhere + retries on all network installs
Reliability pass over every workflow:
- timeout-minutes on all 21 jobs that lacked one (a hung job previously
burned the 6-hour default runner budget)
- ./.github/actions/retry wrapped around every network-fetching install
that lacked it: pip installs (deploy-site, skills-index), npm ci
(deploy-site website, upload_to_pypi web + ui-tui), uv sync (docker
test deps). Deterministic build steps (npm run build) deliberately
NOT retried — split into separate steps so a real build failure fails
fast instead of retrying 3x.
* docs(agents): document the file-retry flake policy
* fix(ci): curl retries on deploy hook + skills-index probe
* fix(ci): kill the remaining transient-failure classes in workflows + Dockerfile
From the workflow reliability audit:
- tests.yml: duration-cache restore had NO restore-keys while saves use
run_id-suffixed keys — the cache never matched once, so LPT slicing
always ran blind and unbalanced slices pushed heavy files toward the
per-file timeout. One-line restore-keys fixes slice balancing.
- Label gates (lint ci-reviewed, supply-chain mcp-catalog-reviewed):
'gh pr view || true' turned an API blip into 'label absent' → false
BLOCKING failure. Now 3x retry, and API failure is reported as an API
failure instead of a missing label.
- detect-changes action: compare API retried before failing open (was
silently running all lanes on any blip).
- uv-lockfile-check: 'uv lock --check' resolves against PyPI — retried
so registry blips don't read as 'lockfile stale'.
- docker.yml merge job: imagetools create retried (Docker Hub eventual
consistency on just-pushed digests).
- Dockerfile: apt-get Acquire::Retries=3; s6-overlay ADDs converted to
curl --retry 3 (ADD cannot retry; checksums still enforced); npm
--fetch-retries=5; playwright chromium fetch retried 3x.
- Advisory artifact uploads (per-slice durations, ci-timings report)
get continue-on-error so an artifact-service blip can't fail a green
test slice.
* fix(tests): kill the two root-cause flakes — leaking pre-warm timer + env-dependent provider list
- test_tui_gateway_server.py: session.create / non-eager session.resume
arm a 50ms threading.Timer (_schedule_agent_build) that outlives its
test and fires into the NEXT test's _make_agent mock, racily
corrupting captured state (the recurring session_resume shard
failures). Replaced the per-test whack-a-mole stub with a module-wide
autouse fixture; the 3 worker-lifecycle tests that genuinely need the
deferred build opt back in via @pytest.mark.real_agent_prewarm (new
marker in pyproject).
- test_api_key_providers.py: PROVIDER_ENV_VARS is now derived from the
live PROVIDER_REGISTRY instead of a hand-list that had drifted
(missing HF_TOKEN / DEEPINFRA_API_KEY) — resolve_provider('auto')
tests failed on any machine with HF_TOKEN exported. E2E-verified with
HF_TOKEN/DEEPINFRA_API_KEY set: 42/42 pass.
* test: de-flake 30 timing-sensitive test files for loaded CI runners
Root-cause fixes from the flake audit (session-DB mining + repo sweep):
Event-based sync instead of sleep-sync:
- title_generator: mock sets threading.Event, wait(10) replaces
sleep(0.3) hoping the daemon thread got scheduled
- docker zombie_reaping / profile_gateway: poll-for-state helpers
replace fixed 1-3s sleeps (s6 transitions + SIGCHLD reaping are async)
- process_registry tree test: select()-bounded readline replaces an
unbounded blocking read (parent wedge now fails THIS test with a clear
message instead of an opaque rc=124 file kill); SIGTERM grace 1s->2s
(the 1s partition window mid-interpreter-startup is how a child PID
escaped the live-system guard in CI)
Timeout raises (loaded 8-way-sliced runners see ~5s scheduling floors;
all of these complete in ms-to-1s when healthy so the raises cost
nothing on green runs):
- subprocess/thread waits <= 2s raised to 10-15s across mcp_tool,
mcp_circuit_breaker, mcp_reconnect_retry_reset, mcp_parked_self_probe,
mcp_cancelled_error_propagation, registry, clarify_gateway, interrupt,
voice_cli_integration, docker_environment, session_store_lock_io,
planned_stop_watcher, cli_interrupt_subagent, thread_scoped_output
(joins now also assert not is_alive() so stragglers fail loudly)
- wall-clock discrimination ceilings loosened where the guarded hang is
10x larger: local_background_child_hang 4s->10s, interrupt_cleanup
setup 5s->20s + pgid-exit 30s->60s, mcp_stability grandchild spinup
5s->15s, protocol/gil-starvation fast-handler 0.5s->2s,
iso_certify_seam 1.5s->5s, wait_for_mcp_discovery 0.1s->1s
- narrow assertion windows widened: honcho first-turn wait 0.4..0.65 ->
0.25..2.0 (property is bounded-not-hung, not an exact wall-clock);
compression fork-lock TTL 1s->3s (12 refresh chances per lease);
compression-lock expiry margins symmetric (ttl 0.05->0.5, sleep 1.0)
- telegram hung-DNS bound 1.0->1.4 (fake hang is 1.5s — must stay under)
* fix(tests): repair indentation from de-flake batch edit
* fix(tests): harden env isolation and replace remaining sleep-sync races
The full 42k-test run and complete npm check surfaced three more classes:
- Environment isolation: local ~/.honcho defaultHost and SSH_* variables
leaked into Python/TUI tests. Pin the default Honcho host in the
hermetic fixture, isolate the one fallback test from ~/.honcho, and
blank SSH_* around terminalSetup tests. This flipped 20 false failures
back to deterministic behavior on developer machines.
- Background-thread sleep-sync: Honcho async writer tests patched
time.sleep globally, then busy-polled with that same mocked sleep. Under
full-suite load the poller could starve the writer. Each test now waits
on an Event emitted by the exact flush/retry transition; 30/30 passed
under 15-way contention.
- Desktop streaming: the test slept 80ms and assumed a 500ms timer could
not fire before its assertion. A loaded runner descheduled the test for
>500ms and both chunks arrived. Producer controls now gate second-chunk
and completion transitions explicitly.
Also make file-retry observability complete: a self-healed flaky file now
prints BOTH attempts' full output in the FLAKY summary. Two behavioral
runner tests prove pass-on-retry is green+loud+traceback-preserving, while
a deterministic failure remains red.
* refactor(ci): use gh bot pat, better retries
refactor(ci): use retry action for PR label fetch
the retry action now captures stdout as a step output, so it can serve
double duty: retry + output capture for commands like 'gh pr view' whose
result must be consumed by later steps.
Retry action gains:
- 'stdout' output (heredoc-delimited to preserve newlines)
- tee to temp file so stdout still streams to the job log
- step id 'retry' for output reference
Both lint.yml and supply-chain-audit.yml now use the retry action
directly with 'command: gh pr view ...' and read
steps.<id>.outputs.stdout.
ci: use AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT for all gh CLI / GitHub API auth
Replace secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and github.token with
secrets.AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across all workflows and composite actions
that use the gh CLI or GitHub API. The PAT has consistent permissions
across fork PRs (where GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only), avoids API rate
limit sharing with the default token, and is already used by
js-autofix.yml for the same reasons.

ci: centralize path-gating behind single orchestrator + all-checks-pass
gate
Replace the scattered per-workflow detect-changes pattern with a single
ci.yml orchestrator that runs the classifier once, then conditionally
calls sub-workflows via workflow_call based on lane outputs. A final
all-checks-pass job (if: always()) aggregates all results so branch
protection only needs to require one check.
Changes:
- New .github/workflows/ci.yml orchestrator (detect + conditional calls
+ all-checks-pass gate)
- Extend classify_changes.py with scan/deps/mcp_catalog lanes, absorbing
supply-chain-audit's internal changes job
- Update detect-changes/action.yml to expose the new lane outputs
- Convert all 10 PR-gated sub-workflows to workflow_call-only triggers,
removing their push/pull_request triggers and per-step detect-changes
guards (gating now happens at the orchestrator level)
- lint.yml + supply-chain-audit.yml receive event_name as a
workflow_call
input to replace github.event_name (which is "workflow_call" inside
called workflows)
- supply-chain-audit.yml: remove internal changes job + *-gate jobs
(orchestrator handles gating, booleans arrive as inputs)
- contributor-check.yml: remove internal filter step
- Update test_classify_changes.py for 6-lane output + new supply-chain
test cases
The scan-gate / dep-bounds-gate jobs use needs.changes; if the changes
job itself fails, its dependents would be skipped via a failed dependency
(not a conditional skip), leaving the required check unreported — the same
"pending forever" failure this PR fixes. Add always() and switch the gate
condition from == 'false' to != 'true' so the gate still fires (and reports
SUCCESS) when changes fails and its output is empty.
Remove paths filters from contributor-check and supply-chain-audit
workflows. When no matching files changed, the workflows never ran and
the required checks (check-attribution, supply chain scan, dep bounds)
stayed "pending" forever, blocking merge.
Now both workflows always trigger. A path-check step/job determines
whether the real work should run; gate jobs with matching names report
success when the real job was skipped, so branch protection always
gets a check status.
Also fixes dep-bounds: the old condition
if: contains(github.event.pull_request.changed_files_url, 'pyproject.toml') || true
was always true (the || true made it unconditional). Now uses the
proper changes.deps output from the shared filter job.
The SETUP_HITS check matched any file ending in setup.py/setup.cfg/
sitecustomize.py/usercustomize.py at any path depth. This produced
false positives on every PR touching hermes_cli/setup.py (the CLI
setup wizard), which is unrelated to pip/site install hooks.
Only the top-level setup.py/setup.cfg execute during 'pip install',
and only top-level sitecustomize.py/usercustomize.py are auto-loaded
by site.py at interpreter startup. Anchor the regex with '^' so only
repo-root matches fire.
Symptom: PR #30916 (Mattermost plugin migration) flagged purely
because it deletes _setup_mattermost() from hermes_cli/setup.py.
Discord migration (#30591) hit the same false positive yesterday.
The workflow diffs base.sha..head.sha (two-dot), which compares the
tip-of-main tree directly against the PR tip. When files land on main
after a PR branched off, they appear in the diff even though the PR
never touched them — triggering false-positive findings.
Example: PR #30609 was flagged for hermes_cli/setup.py, a file added
to main by an unrelated commit after the PR branched.
Switch to three-dot diff (base.sha...head.sha), which diffs from the
merge base to the PR tip — only changes introduced by this PR are
included. Applied to all four diff commands in both jobs (scan and
dep-bounds).
After the Mini Shai-Hulud supply chain campaign (May 2026) and the litellm
compromise (March 2026), codify the dependency pinning policy that was
established in PRs #2810 and #9801 but never written down for contributors.
Changes:
- pyproject.toml: Add tight upper bounds to the 5 deps that slipped
through as review escapes from external contributor PRs:
- hindsight-client>=0.4.22,<0.5 (was >=0.4.22)
- aiosqlite>=0.20,<0.23 (was >=0.20)
- asyncpg>=0.29,<0.32 (was >=0.29)
- alibabacloud-dingtalk>=2.0.0,<3 (was >=2.0.0)
- youtube-transcript-api>=1.2.0,<2 (was >=1.2.0)
Pre-1.0 packages get <0.(current_minor+2) — tight enough to block
hostile minor releases but loose enough to not require bumps every week.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Add 'Dependency pinning policy' section under Security
with the full rationale, table of source types + treatments, and examples.
- AGENTS.md: Add concise 'Dependency Pinning Policy' section for AI coding
agents with the decision table and step-by-step checklist.
- supply-chain-audit.yml: Add dep-bounds job that fails PRs introducing
PyPI deps without <ceiling upper bounds. Fires on pyproject.toml changes.
Posts a PR comment with the specific unbounded specs found.
Refs: #2796#2810#9801#24205
PR #12681 removed the audit entirely because it fired on nearly every PR
(Dockerfile edits, dependency bumps, Actions version strings, plain
base64 usage, etc.) — reviewers were ignoring it like cancer warnings.
Restore it with aggressive scope reduction:
Kept (real attack signatures):
- .pth file additions (litellm-attack mechanism)
- base64 decode + exec/eval on the same line
- subprocess with base64/hex/chr-encoded command argument
- install-hook files (setup.py, sitecustomize.py, usercustomize.py,
__init__.pth)
Removed (low-signal noise that fired constantly):
- plain base64 encode/decode
- plain exec/eval
- outbound requests.post / httpx.post / urllib
- CI/CD workflow file edits
- Dockerfile / compose edits
- pyproject.toml / requirements.txt edits
- GitHub Actions version-tag unpinning
- marshal / pickle / compile usage
Also gates the workflow itself on path filters so it only runs on PRs
touching Python or install-hook files — no more firing on docs/CI PRs.
The workflow still fails the check and posts a PR comment on
critical findings, but by design those findings are now rare and
worth inspecting when they occur.
- Docker build only triggers on main push (code/config changes) and
releases, no longer on every PR
- Tests skip markdown-only and docs-only changes
- Remove supply-chain-audit workflow
The GITHUB_TOKEN for fork PRs is read-only — gh pr comment fails with
'Resource not accessible by integration'. This caused the supply chain
scan to show a red X on every fork PR even when no findings were detected.
The scan itself still runs and the 'Fail on critical findings' step
still exits 1 on real issues. Only the comment posting is gracefully
skipped for fork PRs.
Closes#6679
