Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
- test_thread_command_skips_context_prefix: post-#69320 thread context IS
fetched on first thread entry but rides channel_context; assert the
command token stays at char zero and the backfill is preserved, instead
of asserting the fetch never happens.
- test_slack_send_retry.py: main's _get_client() now takes team_id;
update the lambda stubs.
Slack's send() caught all exceptions and returned a bare
SendResult(success=False) — never setting retryable=True or extracting
the server's Retry-After header. When Slack returned a 429 rate-limit
error, the base _send_with_retry() layer saw retryable=False and did
not retry, silently dropping remaining message chunks.
Reuse the existing _is_retryable_upload_error() helper (which already
detects 429, 500+, and connection-type errors) to set retryable=True,
and extract the Retry-After header from the SlackApiError response
when present so the base retry layer honors Slack's backoff schedule
instead of its own default.
Sibling of the Telegram FloodWait fix (PR #46762 / commit 404b06ac4)
which added the SendResult.retry_after plumbing to the base layer.
Adds five regression tests covering 429 with/without Retry-After,
500 server errors, 403 non-retryable errors, and connection errors.
