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.
Wires the salvaged search helpers into the shared curses menu driver and
turns on type-to-filter for the CLI model pickers (the 100+ model lists
that previously required scrolling).
- Search lives in the shared `_run_curses_menu` driver behind a
`searchable` flag + `search_labels`, so both `curses_radiolist` and
`curses_single_select` get it without per-menu duplication. `/` opens
the filter, BACKSPACE edits, Ctrl+U clears, ESC clears the filter then
cancels. Returned values are always original item indices.
- `_filter_indices` RANKS matches (best-first) via a Python port of the
TS scorer in ui-tui/src/lib/fuzzy.ts and web/src/lib/fuzzy.ts. The port
is byte-identical in score: same per-char bonuses, prefix (+8) and
exact (+20) bonuses, camelCase/word-boundary detection (matching on the
lowercased target, boundary on the original case), and the -len*0.01
length tiebreak — so the CLI, TUI, and WebUI rank results identically.
A cross-language parity test pins the exact scores.
- `_prompt_model_selection` (the canonical picker across the model flows)
and the custom-provider model list pass `searchable=True`.
- Split `_decode_menu_key` out of `read_menu_key` so the search loop can
peek the raw key (catch `/`) before nav decoding.
- ESC during active search now clears the query (restores the full list)
so a no-match filter can't strand the user; printable-key capture is
restricted to ASCII to avoid Latin-1 mojibake.
- Update two setup-menu tests whose mock signatures predate the new
`searchable` kwarg; add ranked-scorer + parity + state-machine tests.
