Add an opt-in battery indicator to the CLI and TUI status bars, shown as
the first element and colour-coded by charge (green/yellow/orange/red, or
green while charging). Off by default and a no-op on machines without a
battery.
- agent/battery.py: shared psutil-backed reader with a short TTL cache,
category bucketing, and a compact 🔋/⚡ label. Fails open to
"unavailable" everywhere.
- CLI: /battery [on|off|status] toggle persisted to display.battery,
rendered first in every status-bar width tier.
- TUI: /battery slash command, config sync, a system.battery RPC polled
while enabled, and a pinned first segment in StatusRule.
* feat(desktop): configure repository discovery
* fix(config): preserve additive default migration
* fix(desktop): stabilize session-actions-menu gateway mock for repo-scan subscribe
projects.ts now runs $gateway.subscribe(syncReposScanning) at module load, and
nanostores fires the subscriber synchronously. session-actions-menu.test.ts
reaches projects.ts transitively via the session store but mocked
@/store/gateway without $gateway, crashing the whole desktop vitest suite
("No \ export is defined"). Simply adding $gateway: atom(null) exposed a
second issue: the synchronous subscriber calls the mock's activeGateway()
during the transitive import, before the module-level const initializes (TDZ).
Hoist the mock fns via vi.hoisted() so activeGateway is defined before the
hoisted vi.mock factory runs, and add $gateway: atom(null) to the mock. Mirrors
the self-contained mock pattern already used in projects.test.ts. Also maps the
PR author's commit email for attribution.
Supersedes #67630; incorporates review feedback from that PR.

* feat(secrets): one-command token rotation + actionable startup errors for all secret sources
When a Bitwarden machine-account token expired, users saw a raw Rust
error dump (invalid_client + Location: + backtrace hints) and the only
fix was manually editing .env or re-running the whole setup wizard.
- New `hermes secrets bitwarden token` / `hermes secrets onepassword
token`: paste a new token (masked prompt or flag), the command probes
the backend BEFORE persisting — a rejected token changes nothing; a
good one is written to .env and the fetch caches are cleared.
- New optional SecretSource.remediation(kind, cfg) hook: startup
warnings now print a '→ Run `hermes secrets <name> token`…' fix-it
line after any fetch error, for bundled AND plugin sources (generic
per-ErrorKind defaults in the ABC).
- bws stderr is summarized to its cause line (Location:/backtrace noise
dropped) and invalid_client/invalid_grant/400 identity rejects are
now classified AUTH_FAILED (was INTERNAL) with a plain-English
explanation naming the token env var.
- op whoami probe accepts a candidate token so rotation validates the
NEW credential, not the ambient one.
Additive hook with defaults — no SECRET_SOURCE_API_VERSION bump.
* docs: fix MDX parse error in secret-source-plugin hook table
Escaped backticks around a <name> placeholder made MDX parse it as an
unclosed JSX tag, breaking the docs-site build. Use a plain code span
instead.
Three related messaging-approval fixes:
1. approvals.timeout default 60 -> 300. PR #63501 collapsed the gateway
wait onto the canonical approvals.timeout (previously
gateway_timeout=300), silently shrinking messaging approval windows
to 60s. Push-notification approvals routinely arrive later than a
minute; taps landed after the wait had already failed closed.
2. Stale-tap honesty: adapters resolved the approval AFTER rendering
'<checkmark> Approved by <user>' (Telegram/Discord/Slack), or ignored a zero
resolve count (WhatsApp Cloud/Feishu). A tap on an expired prompt
claimed approval while the command had already been denied. All
button paths now resolve first and render 'Approval expired -
command was not run' when nothing was waiting.
3. Mixed-warning prompts (dangerous pattern + tirith finding) now offer
Always: the persistence layer already permanently allowlists the
pattern key and downgrades the tirith key to session scope, but the
UI hid Always whenever ANY tirith warning was present. Pure-tirith
prompts still withhold Always (content findings are session-max by
design), and Smart-DENY overrides remain once-only.
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).
Interrupting a busy turn with the Stop button (or Esc) settles the
session to idle, and the edge-independent auto-drain immediately submits
the head of the composer queue. The user pressed Stop to halt the agent,
but it looks like Stop skipped the current turn and kept going — and the
queued text is hard to find, since its only surface is the collapsed
'N queued' pill above the composer.
The old userInterruptedRef latch (a23728dcc) fixed this but was removed
in #40221 because it also suppressed the drain that send-now-while-busy
depends on. This reintroduces the halt with source awareness instead of
a blanket latch:
- Explicit halts (Stop button, composer Esc, chat-focus Esc, the
streaming message's hover Stop, runtime cancel) park the session's
queue before interrupting. Parked queues are skipped by both
auto-drain paths (mounted ChatBar + background drainer).
- Interrupts that exist to advance the queue (send-now-while-busy)
unpark first, so the settle drain they rely on still flows.
- The park lifts on any renewed intent: resume, a manual drain (Enter
on empty composer or the per-row send arrow), queueing a new prompt,
or emptying the queue. It migrates with entries on a runtime re-key
and is deliberately not persisted (a fresh process starts unparked).
- The queue panel expands on park, switches to 'N Queued — paused' with
a pause icon, and grows a Resume action, so the held prompts are
visible instead of reading as vanished.
Store contract, hook wiring, and background-drain coverage included;
docs updated.
Follow-up to the salvaged #52552 and #53083 commits:
- Rework the Matrix PLATFORM_HINTS entry around what the adapter actually
emits: headings, numbered lists, blockquotes, strikethrough-free markdown
all render (the adapter converts them to sanctioned HTML). Keep the
genuinely valuable guidance: no Markdown tables (Element X / Beeper /
mobile clients don't render HTML tables — cells collapse into one line),
no spoilers/checkboxes/~~strikethrough~~ (not converted by
python-markdown), prefer descriptive link text.
- Regression test: hint must steer models away from tables.
- Fix test_long_response_split_preserves_thread_context to derive its
payload size from the adapter's configurable limit instead of assuming
the old hardcoded 4000.
- Document matrix.max_message_length in the Matrix docs page.
- Contributor mapping for RKelln.
Slow language servers (tsserver on large projects especially) publish
diagnostics long after an edit. The client's wait/report path had three
holes that together surfaced the PREVIOUS edit's errors as if they were
current ("ghost diagnostics"), sending the agent chasing errors it had
already fixed:
1. open_file only cleared the diagnostic stores on first open — on the
didChange path (every subsequent edit) stale push/pull entries
survived.
2. wait_for_diagnostics' predicates were satisfiable by that leftover
state (`path in _published`, `path in _pull_diagnostics`), so the
"wait" often returned instantly with old data.
3. diagnostics_for merged the stale push store unconditionally, so even
a fresh clean pull got the old error merged back in.
Fix: anchor freshness on a per-file didChange timestamp.
- Pull results record their request send-time and are dropped when a
didChange raced past them; the pull store is invalidated on every
change, not just first open.
- wait_for_diagnostics now returns bool (fresh data vs timeout), only
counts pushes published at/after the change (and version >= ours when
the server echoes versions), and accepts an explicit timeout — the
user's lsp.wait_timeout config now actually controls the inner wait
budget instead of only the outer thread-join.
- diagnostics_for(fresh_only=True) excludes stores that predate the
latest change; all manager report paths use it.
- On timeout the manager returns [] ("no data") instead of stale
state, logs a WARNING via eventlog, and does NOT mark the server
broken — slow is not dead.
- seed-on-first-push no longer marks the file published, so the TS
seed push can't satisfy a waiter.
Tests: new "stale" and "slow_push" mock-server scripts model the slow
tsserver, plus client- and service-level regression tests
(tests/agent/lsp/test_stale_diagnostics.py).
The DingTalk docs offer gateway.platforms.dingtalk.extra.allowed_users
as the config.yaml alternative to DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS. The adapter
honors it (_load_allowed_users reads PlatformConfig.extra), but gateway
authorization (_is_user_authorized in gateway/authz_mixin.py) only
consults the env var, and load_gateway_config() bridged the allowlist
to the env var only from a top-level dingtalk: block. A nested-only
allowlist therefore passed the adapter and was then denied at the
gateway - listed users fell through to pairing/default-deny in DMs.
Extend the DingTalk YAML->env bridge to fall back to the merged nested
platform config (gateway.platforms / platforms), mirroring the existing
platforms.discord.extra.allow_from precedent. Precedence is unchanged:
an explicit DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS env var still wins, then the
top-level dingtalk: block, then the nested extra.
Also correct the docs' claim that the two allowlists are "merged" when
both are set - that behavior never existed (the doc line came from a
docs-only sweep); the effective result is the intersection of the two
gates, so the docs now recommend configuring one or the other.
Repro (before): config.yaml containing only the nested allowlist ->
adapter._is_user_allowed("user-id-1") is True but
runner._is_user_authorized(...) is False. After: both True; unlisted
users are still denied.

grok-4.5 is xAI's newest release (their versioning is non-monotonic:
4.5 > 4.20) and is the model xAI's own docs use for the server-side
x_search tool. Users who explicitly pinned x_search.model keep their
choice; everyone else picks up the new default via the config
deep-merge — no _config_version bump needed.
- tools/x_search_tool.py: DEFAULT_X_SEARCH_MODEL
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG x_search.model + comment
- agent/reasoning_timeouts.py: 300s stale-timeout floor entry for
grok-4.5 (grok-4.20-reasoning entry kept for pinned users)
- docs: x-search.md en + zh-Hans (config sample + troubleshooting)
- tests: default-model assertion + timeout-floor positive case
* feat(delegation): live-viewable subagent transcripts for delegate_task
Each child now streams an append-only, human-readable log to
<hermes_home>/cache/delegation/live/<delegation_id>/task-<n>.log while it
runs, and the dispatch return includes the paths so the caller can tail
them immediately instead of waiting blind for the consolidated summary.
- New tools/delegation_live_log.py: LiveTranscriptWriter (per-event append
+ flush, one-line rendering with truncation, never raises into the agent
loop), wrap_progress_callback (tees the child's existing
tool_progress_callback events into the log, preserves the _flush
contract), dispatch-time creation with pre-headered files so tail -f
attaches immediately, manifest.json (goals/task count/per-task status),
and 7-day retention pruning on new dispatches.
- delegate_task: wraps each child's progress callback with the writer;
sync results and background dispatch responses gain live_transcripts
(+ hint field on dispatch); per-task result entries carry
live_transcript; transcripts finalized with exit-reason markers.
- async_delegation: dispatch_async_delegation_batch accepts an optional
delegation_id so the live/ dir name matches the returned handle; the
completion event carries live_transcripts.
- process_registry: consolidated batch-completion block references each
task's live transcript path.
- Tool schema description documents the live_transcripts return surface;
docs gain a 'Live Transcripts' section with a tail -f example.
Placement under cache/delegation means the logs are mounted read-only
into remote terminal backends for free. Side-channel only: zero changes
to message content, so prompt caching is unaffected. Transcript-OUT only
— no overlap with the subagent control surfaces of PR #66046.
* fix(delegation): label the kickoff transcript line as user — it is the child's one user message
A final response generated but not confirmed-delivered was the one
artifact the gateway could lose without a trace: crash or planned
restart between finalize and platform ACK dropped it silently, and the
resume path re-ran the whole turn at full cost (#58818 P1, #41696,
#63695's gateway half).
gateway/delivery_ledger.py records each outbound final response in
state.db (same conventions as the async-delegation ledger: WAL, owner
pid + process-start-time liveness, bounded retention):
pending -> attempting -> delivered | failed
startup sweep on dead-owner rows -> redeliver | abandoned
Contract (the lessons from the closed delivery-outbox attempt #61790):
- obligation recorded BEFORE the first send attempt; cleared only on
SendResult.success (destination acceptance, #51184)
- ambiguity is labeled, never silently retried: rows that were mid-send
when the process died redeliver with a visible '♻️ Recovered reply —
may be a duplicate' prefix (honest at-least-once)
- stable ids from session_key + inbound message id + content, so
distinct threads/topics can never collide
- poison rows bounded: 3 attempts / 24h freshness -> abandoned; claim
atomically re-stamps ownership so racing sweeps can't double-claim
- redelivery clears resume_pending for the session so the resume path
never re-runs a turn whose answer the ledger already holds
- best-effort everywhere: ledger failure can never block or delay a send
- slash-command/ephemeral/empty responses are not recorded; cron and
proactive delivery stay on DeliveryRouter (separate subsystem)
Config: gateway.delivery_ledger (default on; no version bump needed).
Validation: 30 ledger+producer tests; 352 blast-radius gateway tests
green; cross-process E2E (record in process A, kill it mid-send, claim
+ marker + redeliver in a fresh process B against the same state.db).
Add an end-to-end developer guide for extending the native Hermes Desktop
app introduced in #60638: the HermesPlugin contract, PluginContext, every
contribution area (panes, routes, sidebar nav, status/title bar, palette,
keybinds, themes, composer, mount-scoped Contribute), the host API, the
React Query + nanostores data layer, the UI kit + theme variables, the
scoped ctx.rest/ctx.socket backend (plugin_api.py under /api/plugins/<id>)
and its separate enable gate, Settings/defaultEnabled/storage, bundled
plugins, the security model, pitfalls, and a full reference.
- Register the page in the sidebar under Extending -> Plugins.
- Disambiguate from the unrelated web-dashboard plugin SDK from both
directions, and add a map-table row + a desktop user-guide pointer.
- Fill the gaps in the agent-facing hermes-desktop-plugins skill
(ctx.rest/socket + backend, React Query, defaultEnabled, Contribute)
and point it at the new reference so agents know the SDK when writing
addons.
Fixes the two review defects that kept PR #29923 open, plus docs:
- gateway: exclude --once from the session-store write-through. The
once-override lived only in memory before, but the write-through
persisted it, so a gateway restart before the finally-restore
rehydrated a supposedly one-turn model permanently.
- TUI: skip _sync_agent_model_with_config while a one-turn restore is
pending. The once-model is deliberately not pinned as a session
model_override, so the config sync saw a model mismatch and clobbered
the once-override back to the config model before the turn ran.
- tests: real _handle_model_command drive asserting --once never
touches set_model_override while --session still does; restore-pop
idempotency.
- docs: /model --once in configuring-models.md with an honest
prompt-cache cost note (one-shot switch breaks the cached prefix
twice; wins for short sessions and cheap-to-expensive escalation).
Route recovered messages through the live Discord ingress policy, preserve dedup and completion invariants, bound and retain the recovery ledger, and expose the opt-in config with docs and backup coverage.
Builds on the salvaged typing_status_text plumbing (PR #62007): instead
of a static 'is thinking...', Slack's assistant status line now updates
live as the agent works — 'is running pytest tests/…', 'is reading
docs/api.md…' — and reverts to the static text between tool calls.
Mechanics:
- agent/display.py: build_status_phrase() derives a <=49-char present-
tense phrase from the existing _TOOL_VERBS table (+ 'is using <name>'
for plugin/MCP tools; None for _thinking).
- base adapter: supports_status_text capability flag + set_status_text()
per-chat store, cleared when the typing loop winds down.
- Slack adapter: send_typing() renders the live phrase when set, falling
back to typing_status_text then 'is thinking...'.
- gateway/run.py: progress_callback stashes the phrase on tool.started
and clears on tool.completed. Rendering rides the existing
_keep_typing refresh cadence — zero additional Slack API calls, no
rate-limit exposure. Works with tool_progress: off (Slack default);
the callback is now armed whenever the adapter supports status text.
- display.live_status config (full|verb|off, default full): 'verb' hides
argument previews for shared/customer-facing channels.
Also fixes a latent crash in the cherry-picked from_dict: malformed
non-dict 'extra' sections broke typing_status_text resolution (uses the
already-coerced extra dict).
Design notes: status text is a side-effect display channel only — never
enters the transcript, no prompt-cache impact. Lifecycle guarantees from
the stuck-status fix family are preserved (per-thread tracking,
clear-on-finish via existing stop_typing paths). Related: #45109
(closed; same direction via lifecycle states), #59010/#51363 (native
task cards — complementary, larger scope).
Adds PlatformConfig.typing_status_text for the two platforms that render
text for the working-state line: Slack's assistant.threads.setStatus
status (hardcoded 'is thinking...') and Google Chat's visible marker
message (hardcoded 'Hermes is thinking…'). None keeps each platform's
built-in default; to_dict omits the field when unset so existing configs
serialize unchanged. Plumbing mirrors typing_indicator exactly (typed
field, from_dict extra fallback, shared-key bridge).
Also documents that Slack's status line requires the assistant:write
scope — without it setStatus fails silently and Slack shows its own
generic placeholder, which previously made the behaviour undiagnosable
from config alone.
Replace REST-based Discord liveness probe with local WebSocket/heartbeat
state detection. REST success doesn't prove Gateway event delivery — a
half-closed WebSocket can leave Bot.start() alive while REST returns 200.
Now samples ready/open/ACK state and heartbeat latency; consecutive
unhealthy samples emit one retryable fatal code so GatewayRunner rebuilds
the adapter through the existing reconnect path.
Also fixes three lifecycle gaps in the recovery path:
1. asyncio.wait_for() can remain blocked if adapter cleanup swallows
cancellation — now uses bounded asyncio.wait() with task detachment.
2. Multiplexed secondary-profile adapters had no profile-scoped reconnect
owner — now uses one runner-owned reconnect slot per profile.
3. An in-flight turn could send its final text through the disconnected
adapter after a replacement was registered — now resolves the live
same-profile replacement for unsent final responses only (message IDs
never migrate, edits/deletes stay on the old transport).
Adds an opt-in Linux/systemd event-loop watchdog (gateway.systemd_watchdog_seconds,
default 0) for the failure mode where the whole asyncio loop stops making
progress and no in-process liveness task can run. stdlib-only sd_notify,
Type=notify/WatchdogSec generation, READY/STOPPING lifecycle.

Follow-up to PR #66479 salvage. The three new env vars
(HERMES_LOCAL_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT, HERMES_GATEWAY_MAX_STARTS,
HERMES_GATEWAY_START_WINDOW_S) were introduced as bare env-var reads with no
config.yaml surface or documentation — violating the .env-is-for-secrets-only
policy (behavioral settings must live in config.yaml, bridged to env internally).
- config.yaml: add gateway.respawn_storm {max_starts, window_seconds} to
DEFAULT_CONFIG, mirroring the existing restart_loop_guard pattern.
- gateway.py: read config.yaml first, env vars override as escape-hatch.
- environment-variables.md: document all three new env vars, noting the
config.yaml alternative for the gateway ones.
- chat_completion_helpers.py: cross-reference the env-var docs from the
local stale timeout comment.
The reported confusion was an unblocked task 'unpredictably' ending up in
triage. unblock itself only ever routes to ready/todo; a subsequent same-cause
re-block hitting BLOCK_RECURRENCE_LIMIT is what escalates to triage. Document
this deterministic loop-breaker at the human-facing lifecycle level so users
stop reading it as an LLM decision.
- codex-app-server-runtime.md: add a Live display section covering the
stream/reasoning/tool-card bridge and show_commentary gating.
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entries for HaiderSultanArc, jjadeo-oss, juanfradb
(the latter two for forthcoming follow-up salvages of #62396 / #18050).
Community feedback (@LSanapalli on X): the inline task-creation form is
cramped inside a ~280px column with no way to resize; board-level
workspace defaults can't be changed after board creation; and users
believe they must block a task, comment, then unblock just to talk to
a worker.
- Create-task dialog: replace the inline column form with a centered
modal (reuses hermes-kanban-dialog chrome, 36rem wide) with labeled
fields for title, assignee, priority, skills, workspace kind/path,
goal mode, and parent task. Same request shape; Enter/Escape behavior
preserved; submit disabled until a title is present.
- Board settings dialog: new Settings button in the board switcher opens
a modal to edit display name, description, and the board-level default
project directory (default_workdir). PATCH /boards/:slug now accepts
default_workdir (validated absolute existing dir; empty string clears;
omitted leaves unchanged) and returns the recomputed
default_workspace_kind so task-creation defaults follow immediately.
- Comment workflow hint: the task drawer's comment box now explains that
comments land on the thread immediately and reach the worker on its
next run/kanban_show() — no block/unblock dance needed — with a fuller
tooltip for when blocking IS the right tool.
- i18n: new keys optional in the kanban namespace with English fallbacks
in the bundle (established pattern; avoids churning 17 locale files).
- Docs: dashboard section updated for the dialog + Settings button.
* feat(browser): store full snapshots on truncation; make eval denylist opt-in
Two harness fixes motivated by BU_Bench results where fixed-verb + lossy
observation cost Hermes heavily vs code-driven browser agents:
1. Snapshot truncation no longer loses content. When a snapshot exceeds
the 8000-char threshold, the complete accessibility tree is saved to
cache/web (same truncate-and-store pattern as web_extract) and the
truncated view / LLM summary includes the file path plus a ready-made
read_file call. Element refs beyond the cut are recoverable without
re-snapshotting. Stored copies are force-redacted and capped at 2MB;
content-hash filenames dedupe repeated snapshots of the same page.
2. The browser_console(expression=...) sensitive-primitive denylist is
now opt-in via browser.restrict_evaluate (default false). The
names-based denylist blocked legitimate DOM extraction — any selector
or expression containing 'fetch', 'cookie', 'input', etc. — which
crippled the agent's only programmatic page-inspection path. The
SSRF/private-URL egress guards in _browser_eval are independent of
this policy and remain always-on. browser.allow_unsafe_evaluate keeps
its meaning (bypass the denylist) for configs that already set it.
* test: update None-guard test for stored-snapshot pointer in _extract_relevant_content
test_normal_content_returned pinned the exact return value; the summary
now carries a pointer to the stored full snapshot. Assert the summary
passes through and the pointer is present instead.
* feat(browser): align snapshot threshold with web_extract's 15k char budget
SNAPSHOT_SUMMARIZE_THRESHOLD 8000 -> 15000, matching
web_tools.DEFAULT_EXTRACT_CHAR_LIMIT so the snapshot and web_extract
truncate-and-store paths give the model the same per-page budget.
_truncate_snapshot's default max_chars now follows the constant.
Invariant test added; docs (en+zh) and CLI tip updated.
Commentary delivery is on by default; users who find the extra mid-turn
narration noisy can set display.show_commentary: false to restore the
previous behavior (commentary routed to the reasoning channel, visible
only with show_reasoning).
- hermes_cli/config.py: display.show_commentary default true
- agent/agent_init.py: wire config -> agent.show_commentary
- run_agent.py: gate structured commentary extraction on the flag
- agent/codex_runtime.py: gate live-stream commentary callback (falls
back to legacy reasoning-channel routing when off)
- docs + 2 tests (interim path off, live stream fallback)
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entries for davidrobertson and 100yenadmin.
Add a developer-guide page for running the Ink TUI and Electron desktop
app from a git worktree without a full npm install per checkout, via the
htui/hgui shell helpers that share node_modules from a canonical deps
checkout by symlink (falling back to a local npm ci when the lockfile
diverges). Registers it in the sidebar, cross-links from the TUI and git
-worktrees pages, and documents the previously-undocumented
HERMES_DESKTOP_PYTHON / HERMES_DESKTOP_DEV_SERVER env vars the desktop
backend reads.
Replaces moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (recommended) and moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
with moonshotai/kimi-k3 in both curated lists, regenerates the published
model-catalog.json manifest, and updates the docs example manifest (en+zh).
kimi-k3 verified live on both endpoints (Nous Portal /v1/models and
OpenRouter /api/v1/models; 1M context, $3/$15 per Mtok). Family-prefix
matching already covers k3 in moonshot_schema, cache policy, and context
heuristics — no code changes needed there.
hermes update ran TWO separate pre-update backup mechanisms: the
config-gated full zip (updates.pre_update_backup, default off) and an
unconditional quick state snapshot added for #15733 that ignored the
user's setting entirely. On a large state.db (observed: 24 GB) the
'cheap' snapshot silently added ~60s to every update and ate 24 GB of
disk in state-snapshots/.
Now there is ONE mechanism, gated by updates.pre_update_backup with
three modes:
- quick (new default): state snapshot of critical small files (pairing
JSONs, cron jobs, config, auth, per-profile DBs). Files over 1 GiB
are skipped with a warning so a bloated state.db can never stall the
update again.
- full: the quick snapshot plus the HERMES_HOME zip (old 'true'
behavior; --backup forces it for one run).
- off: nothing runs — an explicit opt-out now disables the quick
snapshot too (--no-backup does the same per-run).
Legacy booleans are honored: true -> full, false -> off.
_run_pre_update_backup() now returns the quick-snapshot id so the
post-update cron-jobs restore safety net (#34600) keeps working; the
snapshot moved from the post-fetch site to the pre-mutation site,
which also covers the zip-fallback update path it previously missed.
_clean_reasoning_effort kept its own whitelist that stopped at 'max',
silently dropping 'ultra' from MoA slot configs. Route it through
hermes_constants.parse_reasoning_effort — the same one-source-of-truth
fix the salvaged commit applies to the gateway — so future effort
levels can't drift here either. Docs updated to list ultra.
Follow-up to salvaged PR #64012.
Adds the proxied-callback option to the remote/headless OAuth section,
links the mcp-oauth-remote-gateway skill for fully headless gateways,
and documents the WAF pitfall behind redirect_host.
PR #36051's values went stale since May 31: session-store SCHEMA_VERSION
is now 21 (PR said 14), and the dashboard ships 8 built-in themes
(PR said 7). Also document the v16/v18/v20 data migrations added since.
Cross-checked website/docs against the source at main HEAD and corrected
documented commands, env vars, config keys, headers, and default values
that don't match the code. Docs-only; no behavioral changes.

Disable address reuse so an existing family-specific listener cannot silently split traffic with the webhook server. Normalize wildcard bind hosts for local CLI URLs and align setup documentation with the dual-stack default.
Follow-up on kshitijk4poor's cherry-picked references:
- pitfalls.md rewritten from the raw-socket blender_exec() frame to the
MCP-tool frame (dropped 'MCP server is optional, talk to the socket
directly' — now the anti-pattern; dropped TCP-helper internals items;
kept all bpy/addon knowledge: empty code results in 5.x, temp-file
readback, ops-vs-data context, engine names by version, GPU setup)
- recipes.md: blender_exec -> execute_blender_code in the agent-side
verification snippet
- SKILL.md: reference-file table added to Quick Reference, version
2.1.0, kshitijk4poor added to authors
- docs page regenerated (scoped to this skill)
Fixes#62452. Two amplifiers turned one slow auxiliary route into a
per-turn multi-minute stall:
1. Fallback candidates inherited the exact effective_timeout the primary
was called with. When the primary's deadline was short (tuned or
already burned), an independently healthy fallback died on the same
clock — the reporter's 163k-token compression needed ~90s on the
fallback and got the primary's 30s, every turn. fallback_chain
entries may now declare their own 'timeout' (seconds); both fallback
candidate call sites (sync + async) resolve it via
_fallback_entry_timeout, label-scoped so only configured-chain
candidates are affected. No entry timeout → task-level timeout,
preserving existing behavior.
2. A session whose transcript structurally cannot be summarized within
the deadline re-attempted every 60s, re-burning the full timeout on
every subsequent turn. Consecutive timeout-class failures now
escalate the cooldown 60s → 300s → 900s (capped); any successful
summary or session reset clears the streak. Timeout classification
takes precedence over the streaming-closed 30s rung ('timed out'
also matches _is_connection_error) and now recognizes the SDK's
'Request timed out.' phrasing.
Fail-safe behavior is unchanged: all messages are preserved when every
candidate fails; the cooldown only spaces out retries.
Follow-ups on the salvaged #20096 profile-routing feature:
- _profile_name_for_source now returns None unless gateway.multiplex_profiles
is on. Routing stamps source.profile, which namespaces session/batch keys,
but the profile-scoped agent run only activates under multiplexing — without
the gate, configured routes with multiplexing off split batch/session keys
into agent:<profile> while the agent still ran from agent:main.
- Widen the profile-aware _text_batch_key fix from Discord to every adapter
that builds batch keys via build_session_key (telegram, whatsapp, matrix,
feishu, wecom, weixin) — routing is platform-generic, so the batch-key
namespace fix must be too.
- Downgrade the no-route-matched log from INFO to DEBUG (fired on every
unrouted inbound message).
- GatewayConfig.to_dict(): serialize profile_routes as plain dicts
(ProfileRoute dataclasses are not JSON-safe).
- Docs: correct the 'independent of multiplexing' claim in
docs/profile-routing.md (routing requires multiplexing), fix the
platform-only specificity row (0, not 1), and document profile_routes in
website/docs/user-guide/multi-profile-gateways.md.
- Tests: pin the multiplex gate (routes ignored when off, active when on,
build_source end-to-end stays in agent:main when off).
The optional blender-mcp skill predates the blender MCP catalog entry
(#64463) and taught the agent to hand-roll raw TCP JSON to the addon's
socket on port 9876 from execute_code — bypassing the catalog's version
pinning and install-time tool curation.
Reworked to v2.0.0 as the companion skill for the catalog entry:
- prerequisites now go through 'hermes mcp install blender'
- interaction surface is the four curated MCP tools, not a raw socket
- keeps the valuable content: addon setup, bpy recipes (materials,
keyframes, render-to-file), pitfalls (timeouts, absolute paths,
object mode), plus new pitfalls (xvfb headless, no-sandbox warning,
remote-host path resolution)
- explicit anti-pattern note: do not hand-roll TCP to 9876
- description shortened to <=60 chars per skill authoring standards
alireza78a's original bpy patterns and pitfalls are preserved and
credited. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (scoped to
this skill only; unrelated generator drift left untouched).
The remote model catalog (website/static/api/model-catalog.json) now labels
exactly one entry per provider block with "default": true — z-ai/glm-5.2 for
both OpenRouter and Nous Portal. That labeled entry is the model Hermes
silently lands on when the user never picked one, and it can be rotated by
editing the manifest alone: no release needed.
- model_catalog.py: get_default_model_from_cache() reads the label from the
in-process/disk cache only — never triggers a network fetch, so hot
resolution paths (agent build, gateway session setup) stay network-free.
- models.py: get_preferred_silent_default_model() resolves catalog label
first, PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL constant second (offline/fresh
install). _PROVIDER_SILENT_DEFAULT_OVERRIDES dict replaced by
_SILENT_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS routing through the shared resolver.
fetch_openrouter_models() preserves the "default" badge through live
/v1/models refreshes so the picker shows it.
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py: generator emits the default label so
regeneration can't drop it.
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md: schema documents the new field.
- Salvaged from PR #61141 (@HumphreySun98): bare-provider /model switches
(/model nous) route through the cost-safe default instead of curated
entry [0].
- tests: catalog-label precedence, constant fallback, stale-label fallback,
cache-only (no network) guarantee, and a shipped-manifest contract test
pinning the labeled entry to PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME): fresh-install constant fallback, shipped-manifest
label read, release-free rotation (relabeled cache -> new default across
models.py, tui_gateway, and gateway empty-model paths) all verified.
The just-merged auxiliary.<task>.reasoning_effort shorthand applied
ensemble-wide to MoA (one value for every advisor) — wrong granularity.
Per-slot preset config supersedes it:
moa:
presets:
deep_review:
reference_models:
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: low}
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: xhigh}
aggregator:
{provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: high}
- Remove reasoning_effort from the moa_reference/moa_aggregator
DEFAULT_CONFIG blocks; _get_task_extra_body now warns-and-ignores the
key on MoA tasks, pointing at the preset config
- Guard tests: MoA aux blocks must not regrow the key; task-level value
is rejected with the pointer warning
- Docs: configuration.md notes the MoA exception and links the MoA page
Every auxiliary task block (vision, web_extract, compression,
title_generation, curator, background_review, moa_reference, ...) now
accepts a reasoning_effort shorthand:
auxiliary:
compression:
reasoning_effort: low
vision:
reasoning_effort: none
_get_task_extra_body() folds it into extra_body.reasoning, which every
auxiliary wire already translates: chat.completions passes it through,
the Codex Responses adapter maps it to top-level reasoning/include, and
the Anthropic auxiliary adapter now forwards it into
build_anthropic_kwargs(reasoning_config=...) (previously hardcoded None).
An explicit extra_body.reasoning on the same task wins over the
shorthand. Invalid levels are ignored with a warning. Empty string
(the shipped default) is a no-op — zero behavior change.
Config: reasoning_effort added to all 16 auxiliary task blocks in
DEFAULT_CONFIG (no version bump — deep-merge handles new keys).
Add agent.reasoning_overrides dict to config.yaml. Users can now set
a reasoning_effort per model, overriding the global agent.reasoning_effort.
Example:
agent:
reasoning_effort: "medium" # global default
reasoning_overrides:
"openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4.5": "xhigh"
"openai/gpt-5": "low"
"claude-sonnet-4.6": "high" # bare model name also works
The helper is spelling-tolerant: override keys match regardless of
provider prefix or dots-vs-dashes normalization, so users can write
keys in any sensible form and they'll match.
Resolution priority:
1. Session-scoped /reasoning --session override (gateway only; unchanged)
2. Per-model override from agent.reasoning_overrides (spelling-tolerant)
3. Global agent.reasoning_effort (existing)
4. Provider default (unchanged)
Wired into:
- CLI startup (cli.py)
- Messaging gateway agent construction (gateway/run.py)
- Desktop/TUI _load_reasoning_config (tui_gateway/server.py)
- Cron job scheduler (cron/scheduler.py)
- /model mid-session switch (agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py)
+ _primary_runtime now tracks reasoning_config for correct fallback recovery
- Fallback activation (agent/chat_completion_helpers.py::try_activate_fallback)
+ Re-resolves reasoning_config for the fallback model (best-effort)
Closes#21256 (per-model reasoning_effort defaults).
Note: no hermes config set agent.reasoning_overrides.<model> support;
users edit the YAML directly. _set_nested splits on "." and would
corrupt model keys containing version dots.
Return actionable errors when HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT blocks a path instead of
labeling every denial as a protected credential file. Wire the helper through
write_file, patch, delete/move, and the Copilot ACP shim; sync docs examples.
Document that safe-root violations are hard-blocked (not approval-gated),
add a security guide section for write_file/patch guards, and link cron
and verifier docs so users trust the footer over agent summaries.
- Nudge text now warns that repeated protocol violations will block the
task and require manual intervention, so the model understands the
consequence of ignoring the nudge.
- Kanban docs restructured to clearly separate the two defense layers:
agent-side prevention (nudge, from #64350) and dispatcher-side
recovery (bounded retry, from this PR).
- Two new integration tests verifying the nudge mentions blocking and
that the agent-side and dispatcher-side budgets are independent.
Fold in kevinb361's suggested lifecycle wording (#61817 conceded in favor of
this PR) and update the second stale site his sweep didn't cover: the
task-events table still said the dispatcher 'auto-blocks immediately instead
of retrying'. Both now describe the violation-only streak: protocol_violation
fires on every violation (its payload marker feeds the budget), below-budget
runs return the task to ready, and gave_up + auto-block happen only when the
consecutive streak reaches _PROTOCOL_VIOLATION_FAILURE_LIMIT (default 3,
per-task max_retries overriding).
OpenAI lets ChatGPT-plan Codex users bank rate-limit reset credits, but
until now they could only be redeemed from the Codex CLI/app or the
website. This wires the same backend API into Hermes:
- /usage on the openai-codex provider now shows "You have N resets
banked - use /usage reset to activate" (parsed from the
rate_limit_reset_credits field the /usage endpoint already returns).
- New /usage reset subcommand (CLI + gateway) redeems one banked
credit via POST .../rate-limit-reset-credits/consume with a UUID
idempotency key, mirroring codex-rs backend-client semantics
(PathStyle /wham vs /api/codex, ChatGPT-Account-Id header,
reset/nothing_to_reset/no_credit/already_redeemed outcomes).
- Guard: redemption is refused while no rate-limit window is fully
exhausted, since a banked reset restores the FULL 5h + weekly
allowance and spending it early wastes it. /usage reset --force
overrides. Zero banked credits and non-codex providers are refused
with clear messages; nothing_to_reset reports the credit was NOT
spent.
- i18n: new gateway.usage.unknown_subcommand / reset_wrong_provider
keys across all 16 locales; docs updated (cli.md, messaging index).
Tested with unit tests plus a real-socket E2E against a local fake
Codex backend exercising redeem/guard/force and the /usage hint.
scripts/desktop-sandbox.sh runs a Hermes desktop instance in an isolated
sandbox — separate HERMES_HOME, separate Electron userData, and a
distinct
app name (HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME) so it doesn't compete with the main
desktop instance's single-instance lock.
Two modes:
- Ephemeral (default): temp dir, cleaned up on exit
- --persistent: stored under .hermes-sandbox/ in the worktree git root,
survives restarts for repeat testing
In the Nix devShell the script is available as 'sandbox'.
Also makes APP_NAME overridable via HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME in main.ts —
app.setName() runs before requestSingleInstanceLock(), so the overridden
name changes the lock key. collectRelaunchEnv already preserves
HERMES_DESKTOP_* vars through self-update relaunches; test updated to
cover the new env var.

'hermes webhook subscribe'
- zh-Hans user-guide webhooks.md: mirror the Payload Filters and Script
Filters/Transforms sections plus the filters/script route properties
(the salvage shipped English-only docs)
- hermes-agent skill webhooks reference: teach the agent the filters/
script surface so agent-driven subscriptions can use them

Restructures the five parallel export sections into a single 'Export
Sessions' section: a format table (jsonl/md/qmd/html/trace + --only
user-prompts), one shared-filters paragraph covering all formats, and
per-format subsections nested beneath. EN + zh-Hans.
* feat(trace): upload sessions to HF Agent Trace Viewer
Salvage trace upload as a smaller CLI-first feature: deterministic Claude Code JSONL export, fail-closed redaction, lazy Hugging Face dependency, and no gateway slash-command wiring.
* chore(trace): drop external porting references from docstrings
Describe the trace-upload design in Hermes' own terms.
* feat(sessions): fold trace upload into 'sessions export --format trace'
Integrates the HF Agent Trace Viewer exporter (PR #36145) onto the
unified export surface instead of a separate 'hermes trace' subcommand:
- --format trace: Claude Code JSONL to stdout/file, or one
<id>.trace.jsonl per session for filtered bulk export; defaults to
the most recent session when no --session-id/filters given.
- --upload pushes to the user's private HF traces dataset (--public to
opt out of private); reads HF_TOKEN with guided setup when missing.
- traces are secret-redacted by default (force mode); --no-redact opts
out after review; redaction failure blocks export (fail closed).
- hermes_cli/trace.py + subcommands/trace.py removed; agent/trace_upload.py
is the single engine. Docs EN + zh-Hans; 4 new CLI tests.
The salvaged SelfHostedBackend made self-hosted servers reachable via
mem0.json / MEM0_HOST, but the setup wizard still offered only Platform
and OSS — exactly the gap users hit (Discord report: 'At memory setup
there's only 2 options'). Adds a third wizard mode:
- interactive picker: Platform / Self-hosted server / Open Source
- non-interactive: hermes memory setup mem0 --mode selfhosted
--host http://... [--api-key ...] [--dry-run]
- host -> mem0.json (behavioral), API key -> .env as MEM0_API_KEY
(secret), optional key for AUTH_DISABLED servers
- best-effort reachability check against the server, non-fatal
- README + memory-providers docs updated with the wizard path
Salvage follow-up integrating PR #30481 (@simplast) and PR #57683
(@catbearlove1-lang) into the unified export surface:
- --format html: standalone self-contained HTML transcript (single
session or multi-session with sidebar), works with all shared filters
and --redact; requires a file output path.
- --only user-prompts: prompt-only export (jsonl records or md sections)
via the shared session_export renderer; the separate export-prompts
subcommand from the original PR is subsumed by this flag.
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for both contributors; docs EN + zh-Hans.
Review follow-ups on the salvage:
- get_all() pruned from the ABC and all three backends: mem0_list (its
only caller) was removed by the recall-tuning commit, leaving new,
tested, unreachable code — including SelfHostedBackend's _MAX_TOP_K
over-fetch workaround. Tests for it dropped; fake-class stubs remain
harmlessly. (The #52921 true-total fix lives on in the PR history if
a lister ever returns.)
- The persisted rerank config key was write-only (setup prompted for it,
nothing read it). initialize() now parses it into _rerank_default and
mem0_search uses it when the model doesn't pass rerank explicitly;
per-call args still win. Guard test added.
- Platform-mode setup now warns when MEM0_HOST is set in the environment:
the json host-clear can't help there (_load_config seeds host from the
env var, docs tell users to put it in .env) — the user would silently
keep routing to the self-hosted server.
- SelfHostedBackend: connect-level retries (httpx.HTTPTransport(retries=2))
so a single transient blip doesn't count toward the provider breaker;
transport now injectable and the test helper uses the real __init__
instead of mirroring it via __new__.
- plugin.yaml description no longer leads with reranking (off by default,
platform-only); docs em-dash typo fixed.
Salvage of #55614 by @kartik-mem0 (mem0 maintainer). Adds a SelfHostedBackend
that talks to a self-hosted Mem0 Docker server over httpx (X-API-Key auth,
/search + /memories routes), gated behind `host`. Also folds in the mem0
research-team recall tuning that rides with it: rerank defaults to false across
all modes, the mem0_list tool is removed (5->4 tools), search guidance is
de-shouted, and self-hosted get_all reports the true stored total (#52921).
Supersedes the self-hosted portion of #52487 (@liuhao1024, first-submitted).
Closes#52478Fixes#52921
Review findings on the salvaged #60332 breaker, fixed as follow-ups:
- restore_primary_runtime() now resets the streak (third provider-swap
path; without it a recovered primary was short-circuited before a
single attempt and could never be re-proven healthy except via /model).
- interruptible_api_call (non-streaming) now carries the same breaker
(guard at entry, bump on stale_call_kill, reset on success). Quiet-mode
/ subagent / headless sessions — the profile most like #58962's
unattended 494-failure session — take this path and had the identical
infinite stale-retry class.
- Partial-stream stub return now resets the streak (chunks were received,
provider demonstrably responsive).
- Consolidated the triple-duplicated counter arithmetic into shared
helpers (_stale_streak/_bump_stale_streak/_reset_stale_streak/
_check_stale_giveup) with one canonical comment block; error message
now says 'consecutive stale attempts' (the counter counts kills, not
turns — a single turn can produce several).
4 new tests (restore resets / no-op restore keeps latch / non-streaming
short-circuit / non-streaming success reset).
- export now shares _add_session_filter_args / build_prune_filters with
prune/archive: AGE grammar (5h/2d/1w/ISO) on --older-than plus the full
filter set (--model, --provider, --min-messages, --min-cost, --branch,
--chat-id, ...) for both JSONL and md/qmd bulk exports; --dry-run works
on JSONL too; removes the one-off list_export_candidates helper.
- new --redact flag runs exported message content and tool output through
force-mode secret redaction (agent.redact) for jsonl, md, and qmd.
- docs EN + zh-Hans updated; new tests for AGE grammar, extended filters,
filtered JSONL, and redaction.
Replaces the parallel export-md subcommand from the salvaged commit with
a --format jsonl|md|qmd flag on the existing export subcommand, so all
session export formats share one surface. Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry.
Salvage follow-up for PR #59542 by @web3blind.
Sessions no longer auto-reset by default. SessionResetPolicy.mode now
defaults to "none" (was "both": 24h idle + daily 4am), matching the
setup wizard's existing no-reset default and community feedback that
surprise context loss hurts more than it helps.
- gateway/config.py: dataclass default + from_dict fallback -> "none";
installs whose config.yaml lacks a session_reset section stop
auto-resetting
- hermes_cli/setup.py: "Never auto-reset" is now the recommended/default
choice in hermes setup agent; stale comment updated
- docs (en + zh-Hans): default is no auto-reset, opt in via
session_reset in config.yaml
Users who explicitly configured idle/daily/both resets keep them.
--safe-mode promised to disable ALL customizations, but shell hooks
declared in config.yaml's hooks: block registered anyway —
register_from_config() runs independently of plugin discovery and
load_config() does not honor HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG. Gate it on
HERMES_SAFE_MODE at the single chokepoint so troubleshooting runs fire
zero user-configured code (plugins, MCP, and hooks).
Docs (en + zh) updated; positive + negative tests added.
The Codex gpt-5.5 compaction-threshold autoraise notice re-fired on every
agent init. Because the gateway rebuilds the agent per inbound message, the
notice spammed long-running Discord/Telegram/etc. sessions, and the only
documented remedy (`compression.codex_gpt55_autoraise false`) disables the
useful autoraise behavior itself.
Gate both emission surfaces — the CLI startup print and the gateway
`_compression_warning` replay — on a persisted per-profile marker under
`$HERMES_HOME` (`.codex_gpt55_autoraise_notice`), keyed on the from→to
percentages the notice displays. The notice now shows at most once per
profile; the autoraise still fires and `codex_gpt55_autoraise: false` still
disables it; and a later change to the raised threshold re-notifies once.
Docs updated to match.
- New developer-guide/browser-provider-plugin.md: BrowserProvider ABC
(session lifecycle, CDP contract, bb_session_id back-compat key,
raise/never-raise split between create and close/cleanup),
get_setup_schema() hermes-tools integration, discovery, checklist.
Closes the one gap in the provider-plugin family — the ABC and
ctx.register_browser_provider() existed with zero docs.
- Register the page in the Plugins sidebar subcategory.
- Extend the routing map on the Plugins landing page (both locales)
with the previously missing rows: web-search, browser, secret-source,
and dashboard-auth surfaces.
* docs(secrets): secret-source plugin developer guide + sidebar registration for 1Password page
- New developer-guide/secret-source-plugin.md: SecretSource contract
(never raises/prompts, fetch-only, timeout budget), framework-vs-plugin
ownership table, mapped-vs-bulk shape guidance, run_secret_cli()
subprocess-safety, registration + timing note, conformance kit usage,
ErrorKind reference.
- Register user-guide/secrets/onepassword in the sidebar (page shipped
in #59498 but was not listed, so it was unreachable from nav).
- Cross-link the user-guide plugin section to the new dev guide.
* docs: group all plugin guides under a Plugins subcategory in Extending
- Move guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md -> developer-guide/plugins/index.md
(both locales) and make it the category landing page (slug pinned to
/developer-guide/plugins).
- New sidebar subcategory Developer Guide > Extending > Plugins holding
the general guide + all 8 provider-plugin docs (llm-access, memory,
context-engine, secret-source, model, image-gen, video-gen, web-search);
provider-doc URLs unchanged.
- Client redirect /guides/build-a-hermes-plugin -> /developer-guide/plugins.
- Update 30 cross-links across both locales.
The 1Password secret source resolves op:// references using
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN read from os.environ. Under systemd the gateway
gets that token via EnvironmentFile, but cron jobs, subprocesses, CLI
runs, macOS launchd, and Docker containers spawn fresh interpreters with
no inherited shell state — so they silently failed to resolve any
reference and fell back to empty strings.
Two patches close the gap, matching Bitwarden's reliability guarantees:
1. env_loader: auto-load ~/.hermes/.op.env after .env so the gitignored
bootstrap token is available everywhere. override=False plus an
explicit guard ensure it never clobbers a token already in env (e.g.
from a systemd EnvironmentFile, which keeps precedence).
2. credential_pool: _get_env_prefer_dotenv() now prefers the resolved
value in os.environ when .env still holds a raw op:// reference,
instead of handing a URL to provider auth. Non-op:// values keep the
existing .env-takes-precedence behaviour.
Also gitignore .op.env, document the three bootstrap-token options, and
add tests covering auto-load, no-override, and the resolved-vs-raw
precedence (plus regression guards).

Resolve provider credentials from 1Password op://vault/item/field references
at startup via the official `op` CLI, alongside the existing Bitwarden source.
Users map env-var names to references in secrets.onepassword.env; after .env
loads, each is resolved with `op read` and injected into os.environ. Auth is
whatever `op` already uses (service-account token or desktop/interactive
session) — Hermes never authenticates or installs `op` itself.
Startup-safe and fail-open: a missing binary, expired auth, a bad reference,
or an empty value each warn and fall back to existing credentials, never
blocking startup. Successful, complete pulls are cached in-process and on disk
(<hermes_home>/cache/op_cache.json, 0600) via the shared DiskCache; only
secret values are stored, never the token (auth is fingerprinted into the
key). Adds `hermes secrets onepassword {setup,status,set,remove,sync,disable}`
(aliases op/1password), config defaults, the cli-config example, docs, and
hermetic tests.
Hardening applied across both backends in env_loader: each source runs in its
own guard, config sections are coerced to dict, and cache_ttl_seconds is
coerced defensively — so a malformed secrets: section can't abort startup.

Follow-up to #59332 targeting the remaining PERCEIVED first-token latency
(the wire streaming was already per-token; these fix what the user sees):
1. display.show_reasoning default ON. On thinking models the reasoning
phase streams for tens of seconds; with the display off users stare
at a spinner the whole time and read it as a stall. Flipped in
DEFAULT_CONFIG, load_cli_config defaults, tui_gateway raw-YAML
fallbacks, and the hermes setup status line (all four read sites kept
in sync). Gateway per-platform defaults intentionally stay off —
messaging chats shouldn't fill with thinking text. /reasoning hide
still turns it off and persists.
2. Response box force-flushes long partial lines. _emit_stream_text only
painted on newline, so a response opening with a long paragraph
stayed invisible until the first \n — seconds of blank box. Now
partial lines wrap at terminal width and paint as tokens arrive
(mirrors the reasoning box's 80-char force-flush that existed since
day one). Table blocks remain batch-aligned; no content loss at wrap
boundaries (regression tests added).
3. hermes_time timezone resolution uses read_raw_config (mtime-cached +
libyaml C loader) instead of a raw yaml.safe_load of config.yaml
(~110-140ms measured) inside the FIRST system prompt build. First
build drops 320ms -> ~155ms on a 200-skill install.
4. Stale docs: configuration.md (en+zh) still documented the 70%/90%
[BUDGET WARNING] tool-result injections. Those were removed in April
2026 (c8aff7463) precisely because they hurt task completion; current
behavior is exhaustion-message + one grace call, no mid-loop
injection, no cache impact. Docs now describe reality.
Verified: token-count compression decisions already use API-reported
last_prompt_tokens (rough estimators are preflight-only and cost ~1.7ms
even on 1.7MB histories — not worth touching).
Bare 'hermes sessions prune' keeps the historical 90-day default, but any
filter — now including --source — suppresses the implicit cutoff, so
'prune --source cron' targets ALL cron sessions instead of silently only
those older than 90 days (the surprise a user hit live: 'No sessions
match ... source cron' despite plenty of recent cron runs).
- CLI preview + confirmation now show the match count plus the oldest
and newest matching session start times before deleting.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune mirrors the semantics: attribute filters
without an explicit older_than_days match all ages (model_fields_set
distinguishes an explicit 90 from the Pydantic default); dry_run
responses gain oldest_started_at/newest_started_at.
- Docs + argparse help updated; tests for both surfaces.
* feat(sessions): full filter surface for prune + new bulk archive subcommand
hermes sessions prune previously only supported --older-than N (integer
days) and --source — no way to target a window like 'the last 5 hours'
(e.g. a batch of CI smoke-test sessions), and no non-destructive option.
- SessionDB.prune_sessions gains keyword filters that AND together:
started_before/started_after epoch bounds, title_like, end_reason,
cwd_prefix, min/max_messages, archived tri-state. Default call is
byte-for-byte compatible (90-day cutoff, ended-only, source).
- New SessionDB.list_prune_candidates (backs --dry-run + confirmation
previews) and SessionDB.archive_sessions (bulk soft-hide via the
existing set_session_archived lineage-aware path; nothing deleted).
- CLI: prune gains --newer-than/--before/--after (durations like 5h/2d/1w,
bare days, or ISO timestamps), --title, --end-reason, --cwd,
--min/--max-messages, --include-archived, --dry-run. New
'hermes sessions archive' takes the same filters, requires at least one,
and is idempotent. Both show a preview before confirming.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune accepts the same filters + dry_run.
- Docs: sessions.md + cli-commands.md updated.
Filter parsing lives in hermes_cli/session_filters.py with unit tests;
DB filters covered in tests/test_hermes_state.py.
* feat(sessions): prune/archive filters for model, provider, user, chat, branch, tokens, cost, tool calls
Extends the prune/archive filter surface to everything identifiable in
the sessions table:
- --model (substring on model slug), --provider (exact on
billing_provider, case-insensitive), --user, --chat-id, --chat-type
(exact), --branch (substring on git_branch), --min/--max-tokens
(input+output), --min/--max-cost (USD, actual_cost_usd falling back to
estimated_cost_usd), --min/--max-tool-calls.
- SessionDB prune/archive/list_prune_candidates now share the filter
kwargs via **filters into _prune_filter_where (unknown names raise
TypeError); candidates listing + CLI preview now include the model.
- Any attribute filter (except legacy --source) suppresses the implicit
90-day default so 'prune --model X' matches all ages.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune passes the new fields through.
- Docs + tests updated (7 new DB tests, 3 new parser tests).
* fix(docker): heal pairing-dir ownership after `docker exec` writes (#10270)
The official Docker image runs the gateway as the unprivileged `hermes`
user (uid 10000) via `gosu`, but `docker exec` defaults to root. Approval
files written by `docker exec <container> hermes pairing approve <code>`
end up as `-rw------- root:root`, and the post-gosu gateway process
cannot read them. The approval is silently ignored — the user keeps
hitting 'Unauthorized user' on every message.
The entrypoint's existing top-level chown is gated on the top-level
$HERMES_HOME being mis-owned, so on warm boots (where /opt/data is
already hermes:hermes) the recursive chown is skipped — meaning a
container restart does NOT self-heal the bug either.
Three-part fix:
1. docker/entrypoint.sh: chown the platforms/pairing/ (and legacy
pairing/) subtree on every container start, regardless of the
top-level decision. The directory is tiny (a few JSON files), so
the unconditional chown is effectively free. Container restart
now self-heals.
2. gateway/pairing.py: PairingStore._load_json was swallowing
PermissionError under its bare 'except OSError' branch, which is
what made this a silent failure. Split it out: log a WARNING that
names the file, the gateway's uid, the file's owner/mode, and the
exact docker exec -u hermes workaround. Still falls back to {} so
the gateway stays up.
3. website/docs/user-guide/security.md: add a Docker tip to the
pairing-CLI section pointing users at `docker exec -u hermes …`
up front.
Reproduced end-to-end in a containerized harness — before the fix
the gateway sees 0 approved users after `docker exec` + restart;
after the fix it sees the expected 1, and the file on disk goes
from `root:root 600` back to `hermes:hermes 600` on next start.
Fixes#10270
* fix(pairing): gate os.geteuid for Windows in PermissionError warning
Adds approvals.deny to config.yaml — a list of fnmatch globs matched
against terminal commands. A match blocks unconditionally, BEFORE the
--yolo / /yolo / approvals.mode=off bypass, making it the user-editable
counterpart to the code-shipped hardline blocklist.
- Checked in both command gates (check_dangerous_command and
check_all_command_guards), after the hardline floor and sudo-stdin
guard, before the yolo bypass and permanent allowlist.
- Matching runs over the same normalized/deobfuscated command variants
as the dangerous-pattern detector, case-insensitive.
- Opt-in: empty/absent list is a no-op; behavior unchanged.
Supersedes the trust-engine approach from #21500 with a minimal
config-native design: the only capability the existing stack lacked
was deny-that-beats-yolo. Allow already exists (command_allowlist),
ask already exists (session approvals).
Follow-up to the salvaged toggle commit:
- file_tools.py / code_execution_tool.py: carry docker_network in their
container_config dicts so those environment-creation paths honor the
lockdown instead of silently defaulting back to bridge (the probe/exec
asymmetry class reported on #46358).
- docker.py: cross-process reuse now inspects HostConfig.NetworkMode when
docker_network=false and removes a mismatched (networked) container
before starting a fresh air-gapped one. Fails closed when inspect fails.
Default-network config never churns containers, so operators using
docker_extra_args --network=none are unaffected.
- tests: AST invariant that every container_config site carrying
docker_run_as_host_user also carries docker_network, plus three reuse
guard tests (reject bridge under lockdown / keep matching none /
no inspect when network enabled).
- docs: configuration.md gains terminal.docker_network + env var row.
Port from openai/codex#21069 ("Spill large hook outputs from context").
Both shell hooks and Python plugins can return {"context": "..."} from
pre_llm_call, which gets appended to the current turn's user message on
every subsequent API call. A plugin that emits a large blob inflates
every turn and blows out the prompt cache prefix.
- tools/hook_output_spill.py: shared helper that writes oversized
context to $HERMES_HOME/hook_outputs/<session_id>/<uuid>.txt and
returns a head/tail preview plus the saved path. Never raises.
- agent/turn_context.py: apply the cap at the pre_llm_call aggregation
site (moved here from run_agent.py since the original PR), covering
both Python plugins and shell hooks.
- agent/shell_hooks.py: reserve output_spill as a sub-key under hooks:
so the config block doesn't emit unknown-hook-event warnings.
- Docs: document the cap + config in build-a-hermes-plugin.md.
Config (behaviour-preserving when absent):
hooks.output_spill: enabled/max_chars/preview_head/preview_tail/directory
Tests: 14 unit tests; shell_hooks (56) and plugins (100) suites green.
E2E validated with isolated HERMES_HOME (spill, passthrough, traversal
sanitisation, reserved-key skip).
Add an opt-in toggle (require_admin_for_exec_approval, default false) that
restricts who can click Approve/Deny on a dangerous-command prompt to admins
listed in allow_admin_from. Off by default, so the v0.16-restored user-scope
behavior is unchanged. When on, the clicker must pass the normal admission
check AND be an admin; fails closed (logged) when no admins are configured.
Only ExecApprovalView is gated — model picker / clarify / update-prompt stay
user-scope.
/model switches, primary-model fallback, and credential-pool key
rotation all change the prompt-cache key (model and/or account), so
the next turn re-reads the entire conversation at full input price.
Add cost warnings everywhere docs recommend or describe these paths:
- reference/slash-commands.md: cost note on both /model rows
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: warning admonition
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md: warning admonition
- user-guide/configuring-models.md: mid-session switch warning
- guides/tips.md: expand cache tip + /model tip
- reference/faq.md: warning on the switch-back-and-forth example
- user-guide/desktop.md: composer picker bullet
- developer-guide/context-compression-and-caching.md: new
cache-aware design pattern (model identity is part of the key)
Inspired by Claude Code v2.1.199 (July 2, 2026): stacked slash-skill
invocations load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first.
- agent/skill_commands.py: split_stacked_skill_commands() consumes leading
/skill tokens (stops at the first non-skill token so slash-path arguments
are never swallowed); build_stacked_skill_invocation_message() composes
the multi-skill turn reusing the existing bundle scaffolding markers so
extract_user_instruction_from_skill_message() keeps memory providers
storing the user's instruction, not N skill bodies.
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: dispatch the stacked path on both surfaces.
- 11 new tests + docs section in skills.md.
- warn once per route instead of on every request (busy senders would
spam the log)
- document X-Webhook-Signature-V2 / X-Webhook-Timestamp in the webhooks
user guide
Follow-ups for salvaged #58461.
Both wired against features the iron-proxy author (@mslipper) confirmed on
PR #30179 — and both verified present in the pinned v0.39.0 source.
Header-auth providers (match_headers):
- New _HEADER_AUTH_PROVIDERS: Anthropic native (x-api-key), Azure OpenAI
(api-key on *.openai.azure.com / *.cognitiveservices / *.services.ai),
Gemini (x-goog-api-key + ?key= query param via match_query).
- TokenMapping grows match_headers + alias_env_names; per-provider header
sets flow into the secrets rules; mappings.json roundtrips them
(legacy files load with the Authorization default).
- GEMINI_API_KEY / GOOGLE_API_KEY collapse into ONE mapping (two
require-rules on the same host would reject each other); the sandbox
gets the token under both names, and the proxy child env mirrors the
alias into the canonical name when only the alias is set.
- Docker backend injects alias env names alongside canonical ones.
- The fail-closed tier is now empty, so fail_on_uncovered_providers and
discover_blocked_providers are deleted (dead toggle otherwise);
_NON_BEARER_PROVIDERS shrinks to genuinely-unswappable signature auth
(AWS SigV4, GCP service-account OAuth) — warn-only, as before.
Management API (hot reload):
- Generated proxy.yaml enables the v0.39 management listener: loopback
only at tunnel_port+2, bearer key from HERMES_IRON_PROXY_MGMT_KEY.
- Key minted at setup (management.token, 0600); start_proxy injects it
(v0.39 refuses to start when api_key_env is empty).
- hermes egress reload -> POST /v1/reload: re-reads proxy.yaml and
atomically swaps the pipeline; 422 leaves the running ruleset
untouched; actionable errors for not-running / pre-management config /
key mismatch. Secrets changes still require restart (daemon env is
read at spawn) — the CLI says so.
Validation: 218/218 unit+CLI+docker tests; 3/3 gated live E2E against the
real v0.39.0 binary (Authorization swap, x-api-key swap, live reload with
token rotation on the same pid). Docs updated.
Five follow-ups to #57659 from post-merge review:
1. install.ps1: gateway scheduled-task re-enable now runs in a finally
(a thrown Remove-Item/uv venv failure previously stranded the user's
gateway autostart disabled), and tasks that were already disabled
before the install are no longer blindly re-enabled.
2. The venv-python holder guard is no longer bypassed by plain --force
(which the desktop bootstrap passes on every update while its lock
probe only checks hermes.exe/app.asar). New explicit --force-venv is
the escape hatch; --force keeps bypassing only the hermes.exe shim
guard.
3. _detect_venv_python_processes now also catches uv/base-interpreter
trampolines whose exe is outside the venv, via cmdline (venv path or
'-m hermes_cli.main' tied to this install root) and cwd.
4. Missing venv python is now UNHEALTHY on managed installs
(.hermes-bootstrap-complete / .update-incomplete markers) so the
repair lane runs instead of 'Already up to date!'; the repair branch
recreates the venv first when it's gone entirely. Dev checkouts keep
reporting healthy.
5. install.ps1 comment no longer claims a Startup-folder disarm the
code doesn't perform (logon-only, not a mid-install respawner).
A single-model Hermes agent never sends temperature; the provider default
applies. MoA hardcoded reference_temperature=0.6 / aggregator_temperature=0.4,
and the coercion float(preset.get(key, 0.6) or 0.6) made unset IMPOSSIBLE to
express: absent, null, empty, and even an explicit 0 all collapsed to the
baked-in default. Every MoA advisor and aggregator therefore ran at 0.6/0.4
while the same model running solo used the provider default — silently
skewing solo-vs-MoA comparisons and overriding provider-tuned defaults.
- moa_config normalization: temperatures coerce to None when absent/blank/
invalid (new _coerce_float_or_none); explicit values incl. 0 honored.
- moa_loop: _preset_temperature() resolves preset values; None flows to
call_llm, which already omits the parameter when None (same contract as
max_tokens). Aggregator still inherits the acting agent's own configured
temperature when the preset doesn't pin one.
- conversation_loop (context-mode MoA): same resolution, no more hardcoded
0.6/0.4 at the call site.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG preset + web_server payload models + docs updated: unset
is the default, pinning stays available.
Group DMs (MPIMs) were classified as DMs and thereby exempted from every
operator control that shared surfaces are supposed to honor: allowed_channels,
require_mention, strict_mention, free_response_channels, and the reaction
guard. Symptom: the bot added 👀/✅ to unmentioned MPIM
messages and still invoked the agent (which then returned NO_REPLY) instead of
the gateway dropping the event before model execution. Removing an MPIM from
allowed_channels did not disable it.
Root cause is the DM classification at adapter.py:
is_dm = channel_type in {"im", "mpim"}
used for BOTH routing exemptions and reaction gating. An MPIM is a shared
surface (multiple humans can see and trigger the bot), not a private 1:1 DM,
so it must be gated like a channel.
This behavior was introduced/reinforced by a trail of Slack group-DM PRs:
- #4633 fix(slack): treat group DMs (mpim) like DMs + reaction guard
- #54632 fix(slack): subscribe to message.mpim + mpim scopes so group DMs work
- #54663 fix(slack): group DMs work OOTB + reinstall nudge
#54632/#54663 correctly made MPIM messages *reachable*; #4633 over-reached by
giving them the DM mention/reaction *exemptions*. This corrects only that
over-reach.
Fix (minimal): introduce `is_one_to_one_dm = channel_type == "im"` and key the
two EXEMPTION sites off it instead of `is_dm`:
- mention/allowlist gating block (`if not is_one_to_one_dm and bot_uid:`)
- reaction guard (`(is_one_to_one_dm or is_mentioned)`)
`is_dm` is intentionally retained for session/thread scoping and chat_type
labeling, where treating an MPIM as a persistent multi-party conversation is
correct — only the mention/reaction exemptions were wrong.
Docs: slack.md now distinguishes 1:1 DMs (mention-exempt) from group DMs
(shared surface; obey require_mention/strict_mention/allowed_channels/
free_response_channels; reactions only when @mentioned).
Tests: +7 in test_slack_mention.py (MPIM unmentioned dropped under
require_mention and strict_mention; MPIM mentioned processed; MPIM off
allowed_channels dropped; MPIM in free_response opted in; 1:1 IM still exempt;
reaction guard drops unmentioned MPIM). Updated _would_process to model the
is_one_to_one_dm gating + strict_mention. 72 passed.
Replace the loopback/PKCE-callback server and manual-paste fallback with
the RFC 8628 device-code flow as the only xAI Grok OAuth login path. The
flow works in headless/SSH/container sessions with no 127.0.0.1 listener,
shrinking the local attack surface.
- Poll the token endpoint with server-provided interval, honoring
slow_down and expires_in; store tokens with auth_mode
oauth_device_code.
- Adaptive proactive refresh skew for short-lived device-code JWTs;
rotated tokens sync back to auth.json, the global root store, and the
credential pool (no refresh-token replay).
- Clear source suppression on successful re-login (CLI + dashboard) and
drop the duplicate dashboard pool entry so exactly one seeded
device_code entry exists.
- Use the shared device_code source name for consistency with the
nous/codex device-code providers.
- Desktop: remove the loopback OAuth flow states and dead type variants;
pkce providers' sign-in URL selection is unchanged.
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) rewritten for device-code login; drop the deleted
--manual-paste flag from documented commands.
MoA per-turn latency is dominated by advisor GENERATION: turn wall time
correlates ~0.88 with output tokens and ~-0.03 with input tokens (measured over
52 turns). Each turn waits for the slowest advisor to finish writing, and
advisors were uncapped — writing multi-thousand-token essays the aggregator
only needs the gist of.
Add an opt-in per-preset reference_max_tokens knob (mirrors reference_temperature)
that caps ADVISOR output only; the acting aggregator is never capped. Default
None = uncapped, so existing presets are byte-for-byte unchanged (no regression).
Wired through both MoA execution paths (MoAChatCompletions.create and
aggregate_moa_context).
E2E: same task, closed preset uncapped vs reference_max_tokens=600 -> 59s to 33s
(~44% faster), final answer identical/correct.
- hermes_cli/moa_config.py: _coerce_int_or_none helper + reference_max_tokens
in _normalize_preset/_default_preset/flattened view
- agent/moa_loop.py: read preset.reference_max_tokens, pass to reference fan-out
- agent/conversation_loop.py: pass reference_max_tokens on the per-turn path
- tests + docs
The model could pass `toolsets` (top-level and per-task) to delegate_task,
letting it choose which toolsets a subagent got. Toolset selection is a
capability-scoping decision the model should not control; subagents inherit
the parent's enabled toolsets, period.
- Remove `toolsets` from the delegate_task() signature, the registry handler,
the top-level + per-task JSON schema, and the live dispatch path
(run_agent._dispatch_delegate_task — this forwarded it on every model call).
- Single-task and per-task child builds now pass toolsets=None so
_build_child_agent resolves to pure parent inheritance.
- Drop the now-dead _SUBAGENT_TOOLSETS / _TOOLSET_LIST_STR schema-hint block.
- _build_child_agent keeps its internal toolsets param + intersection helpers
(internal API; fed the inherited value only).
- Tests: schema assertions flipped to assertNotIn; added a regression test
proving the dispatch path never forwards a smuggled model `toolsets`.
- Docs: update delegate_task signature refs in the autonomous-ai-agents skill.
Adds Vertex AI as a first-class provider for Gemini models via Vertex's
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Vertex authenticates with short-lived OAuth2
access tokens (service-account JSON or ADC), not a static API key — the
missing piece behind the recurring requests (#13484, #12639, #56259).
- agent/vertex_adapter.py: OAuth2 token minting + refresh-on-expiry
(5-min margin), ADC->service-account fallback, global vs regional
endpoint URLs. Config precedence: env var > config.yaml > default.
- plugins/model-providers/vertex/: provider profile (auth_type=vertex),
reuses Gemini's extra_body.google.thinking_config translation.
- runtime_provider: vertex short-circuit BEFORE the credential pool so a
credentials-file path is never mistaken for a static API key; mints a
fresh token + computes base_url per resolve.
- run_agent + conversation_loop: _try_refresh_vertex_client_credentials()
re-mints the token and rebuilds the client on a mid-session 401, so a
long-lived gateway agent survives token expiry (~1h).
- auxiliary_client: vertex auth_type branch for side-LLM tasks.
- config.yaml: vertex.project_id / vertex.region (non-secret, bridged to
env); credential path stays in .env (VERTEX_CREDENTIALS_PATH).
- setup wizard + model picker: dedicated _model_flow_vertex; curated
google/gemini-* model list; --provider choices.
- pricing/metadata: Vertex prices off the gemini docs snapshot; endpoint
host auto-maps to the vertex provider (no probe spam).
- lazy_deps + pyproject [vertex] extra: google-auth, opt-in only.
- docs: guides/google-vertex.md + providers page; tests for adapter +
runtime resolution.
Salvages and modernizes #8427 by @slawt onto current main: rewired from
the legacy PROVIDER_REGISTRY path to the provider-profile architecture,
moved non-secret config out of .env into config.yaml, and added the
per-turn 401 token-refresh the original lacked.
Wrap each Telegram initialize() attempt in asyncio.wait_for(HERMES_TELEGRAM_INIT_TIMEOUT,
default 30s). When api.telegram.org and all fallback IPs are unreachable, the connect
chain has no outer bound, so a single initialize() blocks for minutes and the
retry-on-exception loop never fires — the gateway appears to hang after the banner.
The timeout guarantees each attempt is bounded, then retries with backoff, then fails
with an actionable error. Also adds WARNING-level progress logs before DoH discovery
and each connect attempt (visible at default log level).
Salvaged onto plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py (Telegram moved from
gateway/platforms/ since the PR was opened). Adds env var to docs + AUTHOR_MAP.

Live DM testing showed a reply to a DM cron brief did NOT continue the job.
Root cause: for a 1:1 DM the governing knob is dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions
(default True), NOT reply_in_thread / cron_continuable_surface. Under the
default, each top-level DM keys to a per-message session (…:dm:<chat>:<ts>),
so a reply mints a new ts and can never converge with the flat …:dm:<chat>
session the cron seed creates.
A 1:1 DM has no thread-vs-timeline split, so "in_channel" has no coherent
meaning for a DM — cron_continuable_surface is a channel concept and is a
no-op for DMs. DM continuation is governed entirely by
dm_top_level_threads_as_sessions:
- false → all top-level DMs share …:dm:<chat> → seed + reply converge → works
- true (default) → per-message sessions → no continuation (cron or interactive)
Option A (chosen): document the requirement; no code change (the flat-DM seed
from the prior commit already lands correctly when the knob is false). Adds a
":::note 1:1 DMs" admonition to cron.md + the zh-Hans mirror.
Verification (real inbound handler, not a hard-coded assumption — the mistake
that made the earlier DM E2E falsely pass): tests/manual/cron_inchannel_dm_e2e.py
drives the REAL _handle_slack_message for a top-level DM under both knob values
and asserts false→converges (…:dm:D_TESTDM == seed), true→diverges
(…:dm:D_TESTDM:<ts>). See decisions.md D9.
Add a per-platform `cron_continuable_surface` extra key
(`thread` default | `in_channel`) so a continuable cron job can deliver
FLAT into a Slack channel — no dedicated thread — and still be
replied-to. In `in_channel` mode the scheduler skips the thread-open
branch (leaves `thread_id=None`); the shipped origin-mirror then seeds
the `(slack, chat_id, None)` shared-channel session — the same bucket
`reply_in_thread: false` routes inbound channel replies to — so a plain
channel reply continues the job in context.
Design: specs/cron-inchannel-continuable (D1–D7, F5). Model B
(shared-channel session), NOT anchoring to the delivery `ts` — on Slack
replying to a specific message IS threading, so a `ts` anchor would only
relocate the thread, never deliver true threadless continuable.
- gateway/platforms/base.py: `supports_inchannel_continuable` capability
flag (default False → unsupported platforms fail SAFE to `thread`).
- plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py: flag=True; `_cron_continuable_surface()`
resolver (coerces to the two-value enum); `_warn_if_inchannel_without_flat_reply`
connect-time warning (D5: warn, not hard-require — the misconfig fails safe).
- gateway/config.py: shared-key bridge line (top-level OR nested config).
- cron/scheduler.py: read the key generically from platform config, gate
the `in_channel` branch on the adapter capability flag, skip thread-open.
No new seed function (reuses the existing mirror — G6).
Pairing (docs): `in_channel` + `reply_in_thread: false` +
`require_mention: false` (or a free-response channel). Missing
`reply_in_thread: false` fails safe to a threaded continuation.
Gateway-side config flag — `/restart` to apply; NO Slack app reinstall.
Tests (from inside the worktree, PYTHONPATH=$PWD):
- +6 cron scheduler tests (in_channel skips thread-open; seeds flat
channel session with thread_id=None; thread-mode regression;
fail-safe on unsupported platform; value coercion). Prove-fail:
removing the `and not in_channel_surface` guard turns the two
load-bearing tests RED; restore → GREEN.
- +10 slack resolver/capability/warning tests; +2 config-bridge tests.
- tests/manual/cron_inchannel_e2e.py: offline E2E driving BOTH real
legs (delivery seed + inbound reply keying) → both converge on
(slack, C, None).
- No regressions: test_slack.py 216 passed alone; broader sweep green
(4 pre-existing cross-file-ordering failures reproduce identically on
pristine origin/main).
Docs: cron.md + slack.md + zh-Hans mirrors of both.
The messaging gateway table still listed /new ("Start a new
conversation") and /reset ("Reset conversation history") as two
separate commands with divergent descriptions. /reset is an alias
of /new (see COMMAND_REGISTRY in hermes_cli/commands.py) — same
handler, fresh session ID + history. Collapse them into one row
matching the registry wording and the CLI table already on line 39.
Closes#42829.
Remove scripts/setup_open_webui.sh and its 'one-command local bootstrap'
doc sections (EN + zh-Hans). The script pip-installed the third-party Open
WebUI frontend into ~/.local and managed a launchd/systemd user service —
a maintenance liability for downstream software we don't own, and the source
of the LAN first-admin signup footgun in #36121.
The Open WebUI *integration* via the OpenAI-compatible API server is
unaffected: the Docker/Docker-Compose setup, multi-user profile guide, and
troubleshooting in open-webui.md stay, and Open WebUI remains a listed
supported frontend. Only the install-and-service bootstrapper is gone.
@janrenz's PR #35862 added prompt_caching.enabled=false at init only. But
_anthropic_prompt_cache_policy re-derives _use_prompt_caching on every /model
switch (agent_runtime_helpers) and fallback-model swap (chat_completion_helpers),
which re-enabled markers and re-broke the strict proxy the toggle was meant to fix.
Move the kill switch into anthropic_prompt_cache_policy so it returns (False, False)
on every path. Drop the now-redundant init-time override (kept @janrenz's isinstance
hardening on the cache_ttl read). Add policy-level tests + docs for the toggle.
Follow-up to salvaged PR #35862.
Replace the interim monospace table fallback with Slack's native `table`
block (rows of rich_text cells). Addresses the core ask in #18918.
- _table_block(): builds type:"table" with rich_text cells, so inline
formatting (bold, links, code) renders inside cells.
- Column alignment parsed from the markdown separator row (:---, :-:, --:)
into column_settings (left = default/null-skip, center/right emitted).
- Escaped pipes (\\|) are not treated as column separators.
- Respects Slack's table limits (100 rows / 20 cols / 10k aggregate chars);
oversized or unparseable tables gracefully fall back to aligned monospace
(rich_text_preformatted), so a big table never breaks the message.
Docs (EN + zh-Hans) updated to describe native tables + the fallback.
Tests: native table shape, alignment->column_settings, inline-formatted
cells, oversized/too-wide monospace fallback, escaped-pipe cell. Prove-
failed against a stubbed _table_block (native-table tests fail, fallback
tests stay green). All existing Slack tests still pass.
Add platforms.slack.extra.rich_blocks (default off). When enabled, the
final agent message is sent as Slack Block Kit blocks — section headers,
dividers, and true nested lists via rich_text — instead of flat mrkdwn.
- New plugins/platforms/slack/block_kit.py: pure markdown->blocks renderer
(headers, dividers, nested ordered/bullet lists, blockquotes, fenced code;
pipe-tables as aligned monospace since Block Kit has no robust table block).
Enforces Slack's 50-block / 3000-char section limits and returns None to
fall back to plain text on empty/oversized/unexpected input. Never raises.
- adapter.send(): render blocks on the single-chunk primary message; a
text= fallback is ALWAYS sent alongside (notifications/accessibility).
- adapter.edit_message(): blocks only on finalize=True, so intermediate
streaming edits stay plain mrkdwn (no per-flush block re-derivation).
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) + config example. Send-side only: no app reinstall.
Tests: pure-renderer unit suite + adapter integration suite (blocks present
when on, plain text when off, text fallback always set, finalize gating,
multi-chunk fallback). Prove-failed against a stubbed renderer.
Registers PowerShell (.ps1/.psm1/.psd1) in the LSP server registry,
spawning PowerShellEditorServices over stdio via a pwsh/powershell
host. PSES ships as a GitHub release zip (no npm/go/pip recipe), so it
sits in the manual install tier alongside rust-analyzer and clangd.
The spawn builder resolves the module bundle from (in order) the
lsp.servers.powershell.command override, init bundlePath, the
PSES_BUNDLE_PATH env var, or <HERMES_HOME>/lsp/PowerShellEditorServices,
then launches Start-EditorServices.ps1 -Stdio with a non-interactive,
no-profile host. hermes lsp status/list report it as manual-only until
pwsh is present.
Docs and tests included.
Adds gateway.platform_connect_timeout (default 30s) to DEFAULT_CONFIG and
bridges it to the internal HERMES_GATEWAY_PLATFORM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT env var
at gateway startup, following the existing gateway_timeout config->env
pattern. The env var remains the manual-override escape hatch and wins if
set explicitly; otherwise config.yaml supplies the value. This closes the
issue's documentation/config-surface request (#19776 suggestion 2) on top
of the adapter ready-wait fix, so users no longer need an undocumented env
var to raise the Discord connect timeout.
Refs #19776
Cron pre-run scripts were capped at 120s by default, which surprised
users running long data-collection scripts on crons (the whole point of
crons being to offload long work). Raise _DEFAULT_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT to 3600s
(1 hour).
This bounds the script only — skill/agent jobs already run on a separate
inactivity budget (HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT, default 600s idle, 0=unlimited),
not a wall-clock cap. Scripts dispatch to a persistent thread pool and do
not hold the tick lock, so a long script doesn't starve other due jobs.
Docs clarified to make the script-vs-agent timeout distinction explicit.
env/config overrides (HERMES_CRON_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT,
cron.script_timeout_seconds) unchanged and still take precedence.
Add a `pre_verify` user/plugin/shell hook fired once per turn when the agent
edited code and is about to finish, after the existing verify-on-stop guard. A
hook can keep the agent going one more turn (run a check, defer it, tidy the
diff) by returning {"action":"continue","message":...} (the Claude-Code Stop
shape {"decision":"block","reason":...} is accepted too). Hooks receive coding,
attempt, final_response, and sorted changed_paths so they can self-scope and
self-throttle; the path is bounded by agent.max_verify_nudges and preserves
message-role alternation.
Hermes still ships its default coding guidance (agent.verify_guidance, on by
default), but it now rides the evidence-based verify-on-stop missing-evidence
nudge instead of a separate default pre_verify continuation, so it costs no
extra model turn of its own. Guidance reuses the shared utils.is_truthy_value
parser rather than a local copy.
Add a generic per-platform PlatformConfig.typing_indicator flag (default
True) that gates the _keep_typing refresh loop in
_process_message_background. When false, the loop is never spawned, so no
typing/"is thinking…" status is shown on that platform — message delivery
is otherwise unchanged.
Mirrors the gateway_restart_notification contract exactly: dataclass field
+ to_dict/from_dict (with extra-fallback resolution) + shared-key bridge in
load_gateway_config, so 'slack: typing_indicator: false' under platforms
works without a separate block. Generic by design — the same key works for
every platform (Slack 'is thinking…', Telegram/Discord/Signal typing).
Motivated by users who find Slack's assistant 'is thinking…' status noisy
(it also briefly disables the compose box, via the Assistant API).
Port the two genuinely-novel ideas from Command Code's /design skill into
our existing claude-design skill (skill-only, zero model-tool footprint):
- Surface-First: commit to one of 7 surface archetypes (Monitor/Operate/
Compare/Configure/Decide/Explore/Command) before any visual tokens. Most
AI design slop is compositional, not cosmetic — conditioning generation on
a surface choice collapses entropy the way a CoT step does. Workflow step 3.
- Slop Diagnostic: the ~10 tells that account for ~90% of the 'this is AI'
signal, as a score-out-of-10 self-audit. Diagnose-then-treat: the report is
context not a to-do list; repair only what fired, matched to the tell
(re-layout vs recolor vs de-decorate). Workflow step 7 (Verify).
Did NOT clone /design's 16-mode CLI, proprietary reference corpus, or make it
a core tool. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py.
A manually-installed venv inside the cloned repo can be destroyed by the
agent running a relative-path command against its own checkout (rm -rf venv,
uv venv venv, etc.), silently wiping the running runtime mid-session. Moving
the canonical manual-install venv to ~/.hermes/venvs/hermes-dev means no
relative path from the agent's workspace resolves to its own runtime, making
the bug class impossible without any command-detection code.
Closes the root cause of #7779. The managed install.sh layout is unchanged.
The original cap held a process-global slot across the WHOLE vision
analysis (image load + encode + LLM call) with a default of min(CPUs, 4).
That serialized legitimate multi-image workflows — "compare these 6
screenshots", "read this 10-page scan", "analyze every frame" — behind a
4-wide gate, and on the native fast path it even throttled calls that make
no LLM request at all. Excess calls queued (blocking acquire, nothing
dropped), but the latency hit on real fan-out was the wrong tradeoff.
The incident was CPU exhaustion, not call count: concurrent base64/resize
bursts saturated every core and left none to service the shared event loop
serving /api/status. So cap ONLY that:
- A dedicated, bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (_vision_cpu_executor) runs the
encode/resize/dimension-check off the caller's loop, sized to the host's
usable core count with NO fixed ceiling — the cap tracks the actual
exhausted resource (cores), not a magic number. Excess encodes queue on
the executor; cores stay free for the loop.
- The LLM call is deliberately OUTSIDE the executor, so multi-image
workflows keep full request concurrency.
- Override via auxiliary.vision.max_concurrency / HERMES_VISION_MAX_CONCURRENCY
(honored verbatim, including above core count); sub-1 ignored.
- _vision_concurrency_slot() is now a no-op shim for back-compat.
Tests assert: resolver defaults to host cores with no ceiling; env/config
override (incl. above cores); sub-1 rejection; the executor is dedicated and
core-sized; encode runs on a vision-encode thread; and crucially that encode
bursts are bounded to the cap while the analyses themselves stay fully
concurrent (calls_peak > cap).
A single agent turn can fan out N vision_analyze calls at once — the
classic trigger is "analyze every frame of this video", where ffmpeg
explodes a clip into dozens of frames and the model calls vision_analyze
on each. Every call does a CPU-heavy base64-encode/resize burst AND holds
a long-lived LLM stream open. The tool executor runs concurrent tool calls
on a per-session ThreadPoolExecutor (_MAX_TOOL_WORKERS=8), and multiple
agent sessions share one process (the dashboard runs the agent in-process),
so there was no global ceiling. In prod (June 2026) a video-frame fan-out
pinned a worker thread at ~100% CPU and starved the shared asyncio event
loop that also serves the dashboard's /api/status liveness probe, flapping
the instance to UNHEALTHY even though nothing had crashed.
Add a process-global threading.BoundedSemaphore that bounds how many vision
analyses run concurrently across the whole process, held across the entire
analysis (image load + encode + LLM call) in the single _handle_vision_analyze
chokepoint (covers both the native fast path and the legacy aux-LLM path).
It is a threading semaphore, NOT asyncio: each vision call is dispatched
through model_tools._run_async on a per-thread event loop, so an asyncio
primitive bound to one loop cannot coordinate across them. The acquire is
offloaded via run_in_executor so waiting for a slot never blocks the calling
loop.
Default: min(host CPUs, 4), floored at 1 — respect the host's concurrency,
or lower. Override via auxiliary.vision.max_concurrency (config.yaml) or
HERMES_VISION_MAX_CONCURRENCY (env). Values < 1 are ignored so the cap can
never be disabled into an unbounded fan-out.
Tests: bounded-fan-out regression guard + a control proving it would fail
without the cap; resolver tests for host-cpu default, ceiling clamp, low-cpu
host, env override, and sub-1 rejection. Pre-existing handler tests updated
for the now-async _handle_vision_analyze. Verified via the real
registry.dispatch -> _run_async per-thread-loop path (16 concurrent calls,
peak bounded to cap).
Follow-up to the group-DM manifest fix. The manifest change only helps
NEW installs; existing apps keep their old (mpim-less) scopes until the
admin reinstalls. Since a missing message.mpim event delivers nothing
(no runtime API error to catch), detect stale installs at connect time
from the auth.test x-oauth-scopes header and log an actionable reinstall
nudge when im:history is granted but mpim:history is not. Also promote
message.mpim from Recommended to Required in the docs event tables so the
default setup path can't drop it.
Group DMs (multi-person DMs, channel_type=mpim) were never delivered to
the Slack bot. The adapter already classifies mpim as a DM and replies
ambiently (adapter.py:2526, is_dm = channel_type in {im, mpim}), but the
generated app manifest only subscribed to message.im / im:history — the
1:1 DM pair. Without the message.mpim event subscription Slack drops
group-DM messages before the adapter ever sees them, so 1:1 DMs worked
while group-DM ambient mode was dead.
Add message.mpim to bot_events and mpim:history (the scope that event
requires per Slack docs) + mpim:read (mirrors im:read for the
conversations.info classification call) to bot_scopes. Update the
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_APP_TOKEN setup-help strings and the Slack docs
(EN + zh-Hans: scope table, event table, troubleshooting) so existing
installs are told to add the new scopes and reinstall.
Reported by an enterprise customer. Note: this is a manifest/scope
change, so it only takes effect after the app is reinstalled and the
new scopes are accepted.
Tests: assert message.mpim + mpim:history + mpim:read are in the
manifest (with and without assistant mode); both fail on current main
and pass with this change.
The cron delivery table only showed Discord/Telegram with explicit
target syntax and described Slack and every other platform as
home-channel-only. In fact the generic platform:<target> routing in
_resolve_single_delivery_target resolves explicit targets for every
platform: Slack (#channel / channel ID / channel:thread_ts), Matrix
(room/user IDs), Feishu (chat:thread), WhatsApp (JID / E.164), Signal
(group / E.164), SMS, Email, and Weixin all have dedicated explicit-
target branches in _parse_target_ref; the remaining platforms accept a
generic platform:<chat_id> passthrough.
Update the Delivery Model table (en + zh-Hans) to show the real
per-platform syntax, document #channel name resolution via the channel
directory, and note the Slack thread_ts nuance. Docs-only.
`hermes serve` is newer than the desktop binary's release cadence, so a new
app launched against an un-upgraded managed install / PATH `hermes` would
crash on an unknown subcommand and brick the user mid-upgrade. Detect whether
the resolved runtime registers `serve` (fast source read of its dashboard.py,
with a one-time CLI probe fallback) and rewrite the backend argv to the legacy
`dashboard --no-open` only when it does not. Happy path (current runtimes)
pays nothing and still spawns `serve`.
- electron/backend-command.cjs: pure serve/dashboard argv helpers + serve-
source detection (unit-tested in backend-command.test.cjs)
- main.cjs: backendSupportsServe() cache + getBackendArgsForRuntime() guard at
both backend spawn sites; expose `root` from the Windows venv unwrap so the
fast source check covers Windows too
- docs: note the backward-compat fallback in README, desktop.md, AGENTS.md
The desktop app spawned `hermes dashboard --no-open` as its backend, which
made the dashboard look like a desktop prerequisite. Add a dedicated headless
`hermes serve` command that boots the same gateway (shared cmd_dashboard /
start_server) but never opens a browser, and point the desktop backend spawn
exclusively at it. dashboard and serve are now independent surfaces — neither
launches the other.
- subcommands/dashboard.py: factor shared server args; add `serve` parser
(always headless; accepts legacy --no-open as a no-op)
- main.py: register serve in _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS + coalesce set + gui-log
detection; extend stale-backend reaper patterns to match `serve`
- desktop electron: spawn `serve`, rename dashboardArgs -> backendArgs,
update comments + windows-child-process test assertions
- docs: desktop README, desktop.md (incl. remote-backend), AGENTS.md, and
cli-commands.md now describe `hermes serve` as the desktop/headless backend
The desktop app spawns a headless `hermes dashboard --no-open` backend and
talks to it through the shared @hermes/shared WebSocket client — it never
runs or requires the browser dashboard UI. Spell this out in the desktop
README, the desktop docs page, and AGENTS.md so "dashboard" stops reading
as a desktop prerequisite.
* docs(discord): document bot-to-bot comms as unsupported (#32791)
Multi-profile bot-to-bot conversation is not a supported topology.
DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS=none (the default) blocks all bot-originated
messages; setting mentions/all across multiple Hermes profiles to make
them reply to each other ack-loops because Discord's reply auto-mention
satisfies the mention gate every turn. Document the safe default and
the loop hazard so operators don't wire it up.
* docs(discord): infographic for bot-to-bot unsupported stance (#32791)
* docs: third-party-product plugins ship standalone, not into core tree
Generalizes the closed-set memory-provider policy to any plugin that
integrates someone else's product/project (observability backends,
vendor SaaS, analytics dashboards, paid-service tie-ins). These create
an open-ended maintenance burden on us for backends we don't own, so
they ship as standalone plugin repos installed into ~/.hermes/plugins/
and are promoted in #plugins-skills-and-skins — not merged into core.
- AGENTS.md: new 'what we don't want' bullet + generalized policy note
beside the memory-provider closed-set rule
- CONTRIBUTING.md: new 'Third-Party Product Integrations' section
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md: caution callout at the top of the guide
It's a coupling decision, not a quality bar — a plugin can clear review
and still be a close.
* docs: add infographic for standalone-plugin policy
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #29212 (#29177):
- Promote the 24h stale-process threshold to config.yaml
(session_reset.bg_process_max_age_hours) instead of a hardcoded
constant. 0 disables the cutoff (legacy: any live process blocks reset).
Wired through GatewayConfig.default_reset_policy in gateway/run.py.
- Bug 2: process(action=list) now resolves the gateway session_key from
the contextvar and surfaces session-scoped background processes (a
forgotten preview server under a different task), flagged
session_scoped — so the agent/user can discover and kill the blocker.
Previously the task-scoped list returned [] and the blocker was invisible.
- Tests: config round-trip for the new field, cross-task list visibility.
- Docs: messaging session-reset section.
The Discord adapter could enter a silent zombie state after a network
outage / proxy stall: the process is alive, _client looks open, but the
underlying socket is dead. discord.py's WebSocket reconnect never sees a
RST through a wedged proxy/NAT, so client.start() spins forever without
exiting — which means the bot-task done callback (which only fires on
task completion) never trips either. The bot stays "offline" in Discord
until a manual `hermes gateway restart`. Reported offline for 13-17h.
Adds an out-of-band REST liveness probe in DiscordAdapter. Every
`discord.liveness_interval_seconds` (default 60s) the adapter issues a
cheap fetch_user(bot_id) — the same REST path as message delivery, so it
fails when the proxy/NAT is wedged. After
`discord.liveness_failure_threshold` consecutive failures (default 3) the
probe closes the wedged client and surfaces a retryable fatal error,
which trips the gateway's existing _platform_reconnect_watcher and
rebuilds the adapter. Operators disable it by setting either knob to 0.
Config lives in config.yaml (discord.liveness_*) per the .env-is-secrets
policy; _apply_yaml_config bridges it to internal env vars the adapter
reads, matching the existing HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_* pattern.

A user-added systemd drop-in like ExecStopPost=/bin/kill -9 $MAINPID fires
on every stop, including clean restarts — it SIGKILLs the freshly spawned
gateway before it stabilizes and Restart=always respawns it, producing an
infinite restart loop (issue #23272). The unit Hermes installs already shuts
down cleanly via KillMode=mixed + KillSignal=SIGTERM with Restart=always +
RestartForceExitStatus, so no extra kill is needed. Document this as a danger
callout in the gateway service-management section.
HMAC validation authenticates the webhook sender, not the business
fields inside the payload (PR titles, commit messages, issue bodies),
which are authored by untrusted third parties. Expand the prompt-
injection section to make the trust boundary explicit: the agent's
capability surface, not the input channel. Document the hardening
levers (sandbox the runtime, scope the toolset, keep approvals on,
template narrowly) instead of pretending to sanitize untrusted text.
Refs #8820.
/moa no longer does a sticky model switch. It now always runs a single
prompt through the default MoA preset and restores the prior model
afterward; the whole argument is the prompt (no preset-name matching).
To switch to a MoA preset for the session, select it from the model
picker, where presets already surface under a virtual Mixture of Agents
provider on every model-selection surface.
Also fixes#53444: the TUI one-shot only set session[model_override],
which the already-built cached agent ignored, so MoA silently never ran
and the turn used the original model. The TUI now does a real in-place
agent.switch_model() via _apply_model_switch() when a live agent exists
(with a proper restore after the turn), and falls back to a model_override
for lazy/unbuilt sessions.
Removes the redundant sticky-switch branch from the CLI, gateway, and TUI
/moa handlers; updates the command description, usage string, and docs.
Add post_setup() and get_status_config() to the Supermemory memory
provider so `hermes memory setup` and `hermes memory status` print a
one-line connection summary (container, profile fact count,
auto_recall/auto_capture). Point API-key onboarding at the Hermes
connect URL (app.supermemory.ai/integrations?connect=hermes).
Salvage of #52988. Two fixes folded in:
- Test isolation: the new probe/status tests mocked _SupermemoryClient
but not the __import__("supermemory") guard inside
_probe_supermemory_connection, so they passed only where the optional
supermemory package was installed and failed on a clean checkout / CI
(the PR shipped with red CI). Added _stub_supermemory_importable()
mirroring the existing test_is_available_false_when_import_missing
pattern; the suite now passes with supermemory absent.
- post_setup: `if api_key and api_key not in os.environ` checked whether
the key's *value* named an env var (always false in practice). Fixed to
compare the value: `os.environ.get("SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY") != api_key`.
Verified: 38/38 in test_supermemory_provider.py and the full
tests/plugins/memory/ suite green with supermemory not installed.
Closes#52988
- Use os.pathsep instead of literal ':' so Windows paths (C:\dir) and
the Windows separator ';' work correctly.
- Add 9 tests covering multi-root behavior: writes inside first/second
root, writes outside all roots, trailing/leading/double separators,
all-separators edge case, static deny priority, duplicate dedup.
- Update hermes_cli/tips.py tip string to mention multiple paths.
- Update docs to mention os.pathsep / ; on Windows.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #49557.
Add a deprecation banner to the top of the dedicated Nix & NixOS setup
guide and consistency notes at the Nix sections of installation, updating,
and the plugin-distribution guide. Nix is now best-effort only; the
supported install paths are the curl|bash installer, Docker, and Windows.
- Add `hermes egress restart` (stop-then-start) so applying a config /
token / Bitwarden-rotation change is one command instead of the
stop+start dance.
- `hermes egress setup` now offers to restart a running daemon after
rewriting config/tokens (asks on a tty; `--restart` / `--no-restart`
for non-interactive control), so changes take effect without the
operator remembering a manual restart.
- `setup` discovers provider keys kept only in ~/.hermes/.env, not just
exported shell vars — no more confusing 'no provider keys found' when
the keys plainly exist.
- Tests + docs updated.
Rebuilds the iron-proxy egress feature cleanly onto current main. The
original feat/iron-proxy branch had diverged from main with an
unmergeable history (no usable merge-base after main history motion),
so the feature's content diff was re-applied onto a fresh main cut and
the three config/docs conflicts (commands.py status/egress, config.py
proxy vs computer_use, slash-commands.md) resolved keeping main's
content plus the egress additions.
Optional, off-by-default TLS-intercepting egress proxy for remote
terminal sandboxes. Sandboxes hold opaque proxy tokens; iron-proxy
swaps them for real provider API keys at the network boundary.
Includes the full review-cycle hardening:
- P0/P1/P2 rounds (GodsBoy, stephenschoettler, arshkumarsingh,
annguyenNous, maxpetrusenko, sxuff findings)
- v0.39 schema realignment + Docker bridge-bind/listener-role fixes
- Docker UX/enforcement hardening
Salvaged security fixes folded in with credit:

fail-closed, container-reuse egress-boundary) + Docker v29.5.3
empty-label edge — kuangmi-bit (#48073)

* feat(kanban): typed block reasons + unblock-loop breaker
Stops the kanban blocked-task loop: a worker blocks a task, a cron
unblocks it, the worker re-blocks for the same reason, repeat forever.
block_task now takes a typed kind and a persistent block_recurrences
counter on the tasks table:
- kind=dependency routes to todo (parent-gated, auto-resumed), never
the human 'blocked' bucket a cron would keep unblocking.
- needs_input/capability/transient/untyped land in blocked; each
same-cause re-block after an unblock increments block_recurrences,
and at BLOCK_RECURRENCE_LIMIT (default 2) the task routes to triage
for a human instead of blocked.
- unblock_task no longer resets block_recurrences (the amnesia that
let the loop run unbounded); complete_task clears it on success.
Wired through the worker kanban_block tool (new kind arg) and the
hermes kanban block --kind CLI flag, both reporting where the task
actually landed. Docs + 11 new tests; 536 existing kanban tests green.
* test(kanban): make second-block notify test use a distinct block cause
test_notifier_second_blocked_delivers blocked the same task twice with
the same (untyped) reason, which now trips the new unblock-loop breaker
and routes the second block to triage instead of blocked — so only one
'blocked' notification fired. The test's actual intent is that TWO
distinct block cycles each notify; give the two cycles different kinds
(needs_input then capability) so they're genuinely separate blocks. The
same-cause loop→triage path is covered by test_kanban_block_kinds.py.
* feat(moa): expose MoA presets as selectable virtual models
Reconstructed onto current main (PR #46081's base had diverged with no common
ancestor, marking the PR dirty so CI never dispatched). MoA is now a virtual
provider: each named preset is a selectable model under provider 'moa', and the
preset's aggregator is the acting model that answers and calls tools.
Reference models fan out in parallel via a bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (the same
batch pattern delegate_task uses) — all references dispatched at once, collected
when every one finishes, then handed to the aggregator. Output order is
preserved, failures and the MoA-recursion guard stay isolated per reference.
- Removed the old mixture_of_agents model tool and moa toolset.
- Added moa as a virtual provider in the provider/model inventory.
- /moa is shortcut behavior over model selection (default preset / named preset
/ one-shot prompt).
- Dashboard + Desktop manage named presets; presets appear in model pickers.
- Parallel reference fan-out in agent/moa_loop.py with regression test.
* fix(moa): thread moa_config through _run_agent to _run_agent_inner
The reconstructed gateway MoA wiring declared moa_config on _run_agent (the
profile-scoping wrapper) and used it inside _run_agent_inner, but the wrapper
never forwarded it — _run_agent_inner had no such parameter, so the runtime hit
NameError: name 'moa_config' is not defined on the compression-failure session
sync path. Add moa_config to _run_agent_inner's signature and forward it from
both wrapper call sites (multiplex and non-multiplex). Caught by
tests/gateway/test_compression_failure_session_sync.py on CI shard test(4).
* fix(moa): classify moa as a virtual provider in the catalog
The moa virtual provider has no PROVIDER_REGISTRY/ProviderProfile entry, so
provider_catalog() fell through to the default auth_type="api_key" with no
env vars — tripping two catalog invariants:
- test_provider_catalog: api_key providers must expose a credential env var
- test_provider_parity: every hermes-model provider must be desktop-configurable
moa already declares auth_type="virtual" in HERMES_OVERLAYS; consult that
overlay as an auth_type fallback so the catalog reports moa as virtual (no real
credential, no network endpoint). Exempt virtual providers from the desktop
parity union check the same way 'custom' is exempt — derived from the catalog,
not a hardcoded slug, so future virtual providers are covered too.
Addresses review on #51077 (kxee). The continuable-cron mirror reused
gateway.mirror.mirror_to_session, which writes role=assistant — re-
introducing the exact alternation violation #2313 (37a997945)
deliberately removed: a cron brief landing as assistant after the
agent's last turn yields assistant->assistant, which breaks strict-
alternation providers (OpenAI/OpenRouter) per issue #2221. The mirror/
mirror_source metadata is also dropped at the SQLite boundary, so the
[Delivered from cron] label is lost on replay.
This is an intentional, opt-in (default OFF) reversal of #2313's
'cron output does not belong in interactive history' for the reply-to-
cron use case — gated behind cron.mirror_delivery / attach_to_session.
Fixes:
- mirror_to_session gains a role param (default 'assistant' — interactive
send_message mirror unchanged, it IS the agent speaking). Cron paths
pass role='user' with a '[Cron delivery: <task>]' prefix so the brief
collapses via repair_message_sequence's consecutive-user merge on every
provider, and stays distinguishable on replay despite the metadata drop.
- thread_seeded: defer seeding + the flag until delivery into the new
thread actually succeeds. Previously set pre-delivery, so an open-
succeeds / deliver-fails case both stranded a seeded-but-unseen brief
AND suppressed the DM-fallback mirror.
- seed mirror now passes user_id='system:cron' to resolve the exact
thread-keyed session row it just created.
- dedupe the duplicate BasePlatformAdapter import in _deliver_result.
- trim oversized docstrings to non-obvious WHY (AGENTS.md).
- docs: document cron.mirror_delivery / attach_to_session in
website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md.
- test: assert the cron mirror writes role='user' with the label prefix.
204 cron+mirror tests pass.
* docs: stop recommending pip install hermes-agent; point to install script
The install script is the only supported install path (it provisions a
managed, isolated uv environment). Replace bare `pip install hermes-agent`
primary-install recommendations with the curl install script, and rewrite
optional-extra snippets (`pip install "hermes-agent[X]"`) to the managed-env
form `cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[X]"` that matches the
installer and the English quickstart.
Covers English docs + zh-Hans mirrors, the achievements plugin README, and
realigns the zh-Hans quickstart to the English Desktop-installer-first layout
(dropping its stale "Method A — pip (simplest)" section).
* docs: drop pip as a supported install/update method
Removes the 'pip installs' supported-method sections from updating.md and
cli-commands.md (EN + zh-Hans): the curl install script is the only supported
way to install/update the Hermes CLI. The _cmd_update_pip pip/pipx branches
remain in code as an undocumented safety net for users who already have such an
install, but the docs no longer advertise pip as a path.
Also normalizes a bare `pip install -e '.[acp]'` to the managed-env form.
Leaves python-library.md untouched: importing AIAgent as a library dependency
into your own project is a distinct use case where pip is correct.
Users who inspect ~/.hermes/sessions/sessions.json see only gateway entries
(e.g. agent:main:whatsapp:dm:...) and mistake it for the session index that
hermes sessions list / /sessions read — which is actually state.db. Issue
#49361 reported CLI sessions as 'invisible' on this premise.
- gateway/session.py: write a self-documenting _README sentinel at the top of
sessions.json explaining it's the gateway routing index and that ALL sessions
(CLI/TUI/gateway) live in state.db; skip _-prefixed keys on load so the
sentinel never round-trips into a SessionEntry.
- Harden every sessions.json reader against the sentinel: mcp_serve loader,
gateway/mirror.py, gateway/channel_directory.py all skip _-prefixed keys.
- docs/user-guide/sessions.md: warning callout naming the exact symptom.
- tests: assert prune ignores metadata sentinels; add round-trip coverage.
The 30-slot default could not fit Hermes's ~50 built-in commands, so
every skill command (and 20 built-ins) were silently dropped from the
Telegram \`/\` menu by default — they only worked when typed manually.
Raising the default to 60 keeps all built-ins plus common skill commands
visible out of the box while staying under Telegram's ~4KB payload limit.
Users can still tune it via platforms.telegram.extra.command_menu.
Adds a configurable Telegram BotCommand menu cap and priority list via
platforms.telegram.extra.command_menu (max_commands clamped 1..100;

Salvaged from PR #42021. Cherry-picked onto current main; the original

plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py.
Open-ended skill learning across every surface. /learn <free text> takes a
description of any source — a directory, a URL, the workflow you just walked
the agent through, or pasted notes — and the live agent gathers it with the
tools it already has (read_file/search_files, web_extract, the conversation,
the pasted text), then authors a SKILL.md via skill_manage following the
house authoring standards (<=60-char description, the standard section order,
Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands).
No engine, no model-tool footprint, works on any terminal backend (local,
Docker, remote): /learn builds a standards-guided prompt and hands it to the
agent as a normal turn.
- agent/learn_prompt.py: shared standards-guided prompt builder
- /learn registry entry (both surfaces) + CLI handler (inject onto input
queue) + gateway handler (rewrite turn, fall through, /blueprint pattern)
- tui_gateway command.dispatch returns a send directive -> TUI + dashboard chat
- dashboard Skills page 'Learn a skill' panel (dir + URL + open-ended text)
composes a /learn request and runs it in chat
- docs (slash-commands ref + skills feature page), 11 targeted tests
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Record & Replay and the /learn concept from #47234
(dir-distillation engine); reworked to be open-ended and engine-free per
review.
A Medium-integrity Hermes agent cannot drive High-integrity (admin)

(SOM returns 0 elements, clicks silently no-op, screenshots still work,
keyboard partially bypasses). OS constraint affecting every Windows
automation stack, not a cua-driver bug. Document the symptom + the
run-elevated workaround. Closes#49067.

main's wizard suite scripts the cloud prompts without the OAuth auth-method step; auto-answer it in the shared helper so the answer lists stay shape-only.
* docs(honcho): document query-adaptive reasoning level (reasoningHeuristic)
README never mentioned reasoningHeuristic and listed reasoningLevelCap as an orphaned cap with the wrong default (— vs "high"). Add the query-adaptive scaling note + the reasoningHeuristic/reasoningLevelCap rows (grouped under Dialectic & Reasoning), matching the wording already on the hosted honcho.md page, and add a pointer from the memory-providers overview.
* fix(honcho): default the CLI peer prompt to the OAuth consent name
The CLI runs the grant with apply_config=False, so the peerName the user just entered at consent was dropped and the wizard's 'Your name' prompt fell back to $USER. Surface it as a transient OAuthCredential.consent_peer_name (set even when config isn't merged) and seed the prompt default from it.
* feat(honcho): split OAuth client_id by surface (cli=hermes-agent, desktop=hermes-desktop)
resolve_endpoints now picks the client_id from the initiating surface and
threads it through authorize -> token exchange -> persisted grant -> refresh,
so the CLI and desktop register as distinct OAuth clients. Surface-specific
env overrides (HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_CLI/_DESKTOP) win over the generic
HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, which still overrides every surface.
* feat(honcho): show OAuth vs API key in status; detect existing OAuth in setup
status now prints 'Auth: OAuth (clientId, token valid Xm/expired)' instead of
masking the OAuth access token as a generic API key; setup notes an existing
OAuth grant when re-run.
* docs(honcho): drop 'shared pool' wording from unified observation mode help
* fix(honcho): cross-process lock around OAuth refresh to prevent grant revocation
The in-process threading lock can't stop a sibling process (another profile or
the desktop app sharing honcho.json) from replaying the single-use refresh
token and tripping reuse-detection, which revokes the whole grant. Guard the
read-refresh-persist section with an OS file lock on <config>.lock so only one
process rotates at a time; the others re-read the freshly-persisted token.
Best-effort: platforms without flock degrade to in-process serialization.
* refactor(honcho): one OAuth client (hermes-agent) for all surfaces
Collapse the per-surface client_id split. CLI and desktop now use a single
client_id (hermes-agent); consent branding/UI still adapt via the source query
param. One grant identity means no clientId-vs-refresh-token desync that could
get the grant revoked. HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID still overrides for self-hosting.
* fix(honcho): per-session resolves to session_id, never remapped by title
Reorder resolve_session_name so stable identifiers win over labels: gateway
per-chat key first, then the per-session session_id, then the cwd map / title.
A (possibly auto-generated) title can no longer remap a live per-session
conversation onto a second Honcho session mid-stream — fixes the desktop, which
is per-conversation via session_id. Consequence: a gateway's per-chat key now
also wins over a title (titles never remap a stable id).
Adds auxiliary.background_review.{provider,model} (default auto = main chat
model — unchanged). Set it to a different, cheaper model and the post-turn
self-improvement review runs there for ~3-5x lower cost.
Cache-aware by design: the main chat is warm in the prompt cache, so the
default full-history replay on the main model is cheap cache reads — left
exactly as-is. A different model can't reuse that cache (different key), so
when (and only when) routed to a different model the fork replays a compact
digest instead of the full transcript, minimising what it cold-writes on the
aux model. Same model -> full replay; different model -> digest.
Quality holds in benchmarks: memory capture identical, skill near-identical.
Nothing changes unless you opt in by naming a different model.

An unpinned cron job follows the global default provider (config.yaml
model.default + resolve_runtime_provider). If that global state is changed
after the job is created — e.g. a temporary switch to a paid provider like
nous/claude-fable-5 — the job silently inherits it on its next tick and spends
real money. This is the reported $7.73 incident: a job created under a
free/default provider later inherited a temporary paid switch.
Fix (ask #1 only) preserves the legitimate "unpinned job should follow
model.default" use case by detecting *drift* rather than freezing the model:
- create_job (cron/jobs.py): for UNPINNED, agent-backed jobs (no explicit
provider, not no_agent), snapshot the provider that resolution WOULD pick
right now into a new optional `provider_snapshot` field, resolved via the
same resolve_runtime_provider() path the ticker uses. Fail-open to None on
any resolution error so job creation never breaks.
- run_job (cron/scheduler.py): right after runtime resolution, if the job has
a provider_snapshot AND is unpinned AND the currently-resolved provider
DIFFERS from the snapshot, fail closed for that run — make no paid call and
deliver a loud, actionable alert naming both providers and telling the user
to pin explicitly (`cronjob action=update job_id=.. provider=..`).
Back-compat: jobs with no snapshot (pre-existing jobs, no_agent jobs, or any
job whose creation-time resolution failed) behave exactly as before — the
guard only engages when a snapshot exists. Explicitly-pinned jobs (job.provider
set) are unaffected since they don't drift with global state.
Tests: tests/cron/test_cron_provider_pin.py covers snapshot-matches (runs),
snapshot-differs (fail closed, no agent constructed), no-snapshot back-compat,
None-snapshot back-compat, explicitly-pinned (runs regardless), plus create_job
snapshot capture/skip/fail-open. The fail-closed case is load-bearing (fails
without the guard).
Issue #44585 asks #2-4 (hard-stop a running job, gateway-stop containment,
fail-closed on provider mutation) are out of scope for this change.
Adds an optional structured completion contract to the standing-goal loop,
adapted from OpenAI Codex's /goal guidance (a durable objective works best
when it names what done means, how to prove it, what not to break, what's in
scope, and when to stop).
A contract has five optional fields — outcome, verification, constraints,
boundaries, stop_when. When set, the continuation prompt tells the agent to
target the verification surface and respect constraints, and the judge marks
the goal done only when the verification criterion is met with concrete
evidence (command result, file excerpt, test output) instead of a loose
"looks done" claim. This tightens the most common /goal failure mode:
premature completion / endless over-continuation on an underspecified goal.
Two ways to set a contract, both backward compatible (bare /goal <text>
behaves exactly as before):
- /goal draft <objective> — expands plain text into a full contract via the
goal_judge aux model (cache-safe side call), falls back to a free-form goal
if the model is unavailable.
- /goal <text> with inline 'field: value' lines (verify:, constraints:,
boundaries:, stop when:, ...). Plain goals with an incidental colon are not
mangled — only known field prefixes are pulled out.
- /goal show prints the active contract.
Contracts persist in SessionDB.state_meta alongside the goal (survive /resume),
compose with /subgoal criteria, and old goal rows load unchanged. CLI + every
gateway platform via the shared GoalManager engine; zero new model tools.
Tests: +18 in tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py (parse/serialize/judge-prompt/
draft/fallback), 73/73 green; 42/42 across the broader goal test surface;
live E2E roundtrip (set -> persist -> reload -> contract-aware prompts) green.
* feat(computer_use): disable cua-driver telemetry by default, add opt-in
cua-driver ships anonymous PostHog usage telemetry ENABLED by default
upstream (fires cua_driver_install / cua_driver_doctor events to
eu.i.posthog.com). Hermes now disables it for our users unless they
explicitly opt in.
- New config key `computer_use.cua_telemetry` (default false) in
DEFAULT_CONFIG.
- `cua_backend.cua_driver_child_env()` injects
`CUA_DRIVER_RS_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0` into the child env when telemetry is
disabled (the default); leaves the var untouched on opt-in so the driver
uses its own default. Reads config fail-safe — any error defaults to
telemetry off.
- Routed every cua-driver spawn site through the policy: MCP backend
(StdioServerParameters env), `cua_driver_update_check`, doctor's
health_report Popen, the install.sh/install.ps1 runner, and the
`--version` / status probes.
- Docs: new Telemetry subsection in computer-use.md (EN).
- Tests: tests/computer_use/test_cua_telemetry.py — default disables,
explicit-false disables, opt-in leaves var untouched, config-failure
fails safe, inherited-enabled is overridden off.
Verified live on Linux against the real cua-driver-rs 0.6.0 binary: with
the var=0 the driver reports "telemetry: disabled via
CUA_DRIVER_RS_TELEMETRY_ENABLED" and sends no event; with it unset it logs
"sending event: cua_driver_doctor". 213 computer_use + install tests green.
* fix(dashboard): fold computer_use config category into agent tab
The new computer_use.cua_telemetry key created a single-field dashboard
config category, tripping test_no_single_field_categories (web_server's
invariant that categories with <2 fields must be merged to avoid tab
sprawl). Add computer_use -> agent to _CATEGORY_MERGE, matching the
existing onboarding/telegram single-field folds.
Make the computer_use toolset platform-agnostic by driving cua-driver on
macOS, Windows, and Linux. Consumes the 8 cua-driver decoupling surfaces
(capability discovery, structuredContent AX tree, opaque element_token,
click button enum, explicit mimeType, machine-readable manifest,
structured list_windows, structured health_report), each degrading
gracefully on older drivers.
Adds `hermes computer-use doctor` (drives cua-driver health_report with a
per-OS check matrix and an exit 0/1/2 ok/degraded/blocked contract), full
typed wrappers for the previously-uncovered cua-driver tools plus a generic
call_tool escape hatch, per-session agent-cursor lifecycle, platform-aware
system-prompt guidance (host-deterministic, cache-safe), and honors
HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_CMD end-to-end.
Replaces the macOS-only skills/apple/macos-computer-use skill with a
cross-platform skills/computer-use skill, and refreshes the EN + zh-Hans
docs.
Supersedes #44221 (Windows-enablement salvage of #30660).

* feat(goals): add /goal wait <pid> barrier to park the loop on a background process
The /goal loop re-pokes the agent every turn via the post-turn judge. When a
goal is gated on a long-running background process (CI poller, build, test
matrix, deploy) that produces nothing to judge yet, this spins the agent into
'is it done?' busy-work and burns the turn budget.
/goal wait <pid> [reason] parks the loop: while the PID is alive, the judge is
skipped, no turn is consumed, no continuation fires, and /goal status shows a
parked indicator. The barrier auto-clears the moment the process exits (the
agent's notify_on_complete watcher is the natural wake signal), then the next
turn resumes normal judging. /goal unwait clears it manually; pause/resume/clear
drop it; a dead/stale PID can never wedge the loop.
Wired across CLI, gateway, and the mid-run command guard for parity. Barrier
persists in SessionDB.state_meta (survives /resume); GoalState gains
backward-compatible waiting_on_pid/waiting_reason/waiting_since fields. 12 new
tests; docs updated.
* fix(goals): use gateway.status._pid_exists for liveness, not os.kill(pid,0)
The Windows-footguns CI guard flagged os.kill(pid, 0) in _pid_alive — on
Windows that's not a no-op, it routes to CTRL_C_EVENT and hard-kills the
target's console process group (bpo-14484). Delegate to the canonical
footgun-safe gateway.status._pid_exists (psutil + ctypes/POSIX fallback)
instead, with a direct-psutil last resort.
* feat(goals): judge-driven auto-wait — the loop parks itself, no manual /goal wait
Makes the wait barrier automatic. Every turn the judge is shown the agent's
live background processes (pid, command, uptime, output tail from the
process_registry) alongside the goal + response, and can return a new 'wait'
verdict instead of continue:
{"verdict":"wait","wait_on_pid":N} → park until that process exits
{"verdict":"wait","wait_for_seconds":N} → park until the deadline passes
evaluate_after_turn acts on the directive (sets the barrier, parks the loop)
so the agent isn't re-poked into busy-work while CI/builds/deploys run. Adds a
time-based waiting_until barrier alongside the pid barrier; both auto-clear and
can never wedge the loop. Drivers (CLI, gateway, tui_gateway) feed the live
registry in via gather_background_processes(). Manual /goal wait stays as an
override. Judge verdict contract widened to (verdict, reason, parse_failed,
wait_directive); legacy {"done":bool} shape still accepted.
* test(goals): update kanban _fake_judge to the 4-tuple judge contract
CI test(3) caught it: test_kanban_goal_mode's _fake_judge still returned the
3-tuple (verdict, reason, parse_failed), but the kanban loop now unpacks the
4-tuple (+ wait_directive). Update the fake to return None for the directive
and accept the background_processes kwarg.
* feat(goals): trigger-based wait — park on a process's own signal, not just exit
Addresses two gaps in the judge-driven wait: (1) the judge could only express
'wait until PID exits' or 'wait N seconds', so a long-lived watcher/server that
fires a trigger MID-RUN (and may never exit) couldn't be waited on; (2) the
process's own watch_patterns/notify_on_complete trigger was invisible to the judge.
Adds a session-based barrier (waiting_on_session) that releases on the process's
OWN trigger via process_registry.is_session_waiting(): the session exits, OR (if
started with watch_patterns) its pattern matches — even while the process keeps
running. list_sessions() now surfaces session_id + watch_patterns/watch_hit/
notify_on_complete so the judge sees the trigger and is told to prefer
wait_on_session for trigger processes. Judge verdict gains a {wait_on_session}
directive (preferred over pid). Backward-compatible GoalState field; pid + time
barriers unchanged.
Tests: TestSessionTriggerBarrier (release on mid-run pattern match while alive,
release on exit, unknown-session, full park→trigger→resume, parse, validation,
backcompat load). 105 goal-surface + 85 process_registry tests green.
* fix: update to version 3 endpoints and adding update and delete tool
* chore: removing the test md file
* fix: prevent circuit breaker on client errors in Mem0 provider
* chore: add telemetry for platform version
* feat: add OSS mode support to Mem0 memory provider
* chore: bump mem0ai dependency to >=2.0.1 in memory plugin
* refactor: enhance dependency checks and embedder config in mem0 backend
* refactor: adjust fact storage message for OSS mode
* refactor: expand user paths, add collection recreation on dimension change for Qdrant
* fix(mem0): make MEM0_USER_ID override gateway-native ids and tag writes with channel
When MEM0_USER_ID was configured (env or mem0.json), the gateway-native id
from kwargs (Telegram numeric id, Discord snowflake, ...) still won, so the
same human ended up under different user_ids per channel and memories never
merged across CLI / Telegram / Slack / Discord. Mirrors openclaw's cfg.userId
pattern: configured override wins, gateway-native id is the fallback.
The legacy "hermes-user" placeholder default written by the setup wizard is
treated as unset to avoid silently bucketing every gateway user together.
Also tag every write with metadata.channel (cli/telegram/discord/...) so the
dashboard can offer per-channel filtered views without coupling identity to
the channel; document the read/write filter asymmetry as intentional
(reads scope to user_id only for cross-agent recall).

* refactor: improve Mem0 memory provider backend, pagination, config, and error handling
* refactor: update mem0 telemetry code, docs, and bump version
* fix(mem0): make get_config_schema() return unified schema with mode-aware required flag
Schema always includes api_key field so picker shows "API key / local" for
both modes. In OSS mode api_key.required=False so status won't mislead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor: improve mem0 telemetry, add env var key and OSS mode detection
* chore: bump mem0ai lower bound to 2.0.4 (latest SDK release)
* refactor: set telemetry sample rate to 1.0 and update docs for opt‑out
* fix(mem0): resolve 15 correctness, thread-safety, and resource bugs
Thread safety:
- Protect circuit breaker counters with _breaker_lock (race between
prefetch/sync daemon threads and main thread)
- Wrap sync_turn thread creation in _sync_lock; skip if previous sync
is still alive after 5 s join to prevent duplicate memory ingestion
- Guard _schedule_flush timer creation under _queue_lock (TOCTOU race)
- Capture local `backend` reference in prefetch/sync closures so
shutdown() nulling self._backend cannot crash in-flight threads
Correctness:
- Fix bool("false")==True for rerank param; parse string values explicitly
- Guard page/top_k with max(1,...) and move int() inside try blocks
- Fix fact_count=0 always in OSS mode (Memory.add returns list, not dict)
- Fix prefetch() not clearing result when thread still alive after timeout
- Fix atexit.register accumulating on repeated initialize() calls
Backend / setup:
- Handle Qdrant named-vector collections in _recreate_collection_if_dims_changed
(vectors is a dict; .size access raised AttributeError, swallowed silently)
- Wrap QdrantClient and psycopg2 conn/cursor in try/finally to prevent leaks
- Resolve ollama_bin at top of _ensure_ollama; use it for ollama pull
- Fix embedder key lookup when LLM provider has no env_var (e.g. ollama)
Also: remove _telemetry_enabled cache (env var check is cheap), bump
required mem0ai to >=2.0.7, minor README wording fix.
* fix(mem0): fix brittle qdrant path test + add telemetry sample-rate docs
- Replace generator-throw lambda with a proper def in
test_qdrant_path_not_writable; use tmp_path instead of a hardcoded
/nonexistent path so the test is root-safe
- Add MEM0_TELEMETRY_SAMPLE_RATE to memory-providers.md (was only
in the plugin README, not the user-guide docs)
* revert: remove MEM0_TELEMETRY_SAMPLE_RATE from user-guide docs
* refactor: remove telemetry from mem0 plugin and update documentation
* fix(mem0): set stdin=DEVNULL on setup subprocess calls
The TUI stdin guard (scripts/check_subprocess_stdin.py) requires every
subprocess call in plugin code to set stdin= so it can't inherit the
gateway's JSON-RPC stdin fd. Muzzle the docker/ollama calls in the OSS
setup wizard with stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL (none need interactive input).
Also covers the docker-inspect call the linter's regex misses.

Defense-in-depth for the dashboard plugin auto-import path. The web server
auto-imports and mounts the Python backend (dashboard/manifest.json -> api file)
of plugins found in ~/.hermes/plugins/ (user) and ./.hermes/plugins/ (project),
not just bundled plugins. So any plugin that reaches one of those dirs gets
arbitrary Python executed on the next dashboard start.
NOTE ON THREAT MODEL: #43719's originally-documented delivery chain (a public
--insecure dashboard + open API used to git clone a malicious repo into
~/.hermes/plugins/) is ALREADY mitigated on main — since the June 2026
hermes-0day hardening, a non-loopback bind ALWAYS requires an auth provider and
--insecure no longer bypasses the auth gate. This change is therefore NOT
closing that (now-authenticated) network path; it removes the residual
'arbitrary code executes merely because a plugin is on disk' hazard, which still
applies when a plugin arrives by other means: a socially-engineered git clone,
a supply-chain drop, an authenticated-but-malicious actor, or a future
regression in the auth gate. Untrusted on-disk code should not auto-execute.
Restrict dashboard backend Python auto-import to BUNDLED plugins only. User and
project plugins may still extend the dashboard UI via static JS/CSS, but their
api Python file is never auto-imported. Two layers: _discover_dashboard_plugins
scrubs api/_api_file for user/project sources (and bundled wins name conflicts
so a non-bundled plugin cannot shadow a trusted backend route);
_mount_plugin_api_routes re-refuses user/project at mount time. Tightens the
prior GHSA-5qr3-c538-wm9j / #29156 hardening (bundled+user) to bundled-only.
Salvaged from #44472 (@egilewski) onto current main.
Authorization to message the agent is the gate, not the file extension.
Previously the inbound-attachment allowlist (SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES) was
opt-OUT on Discord (allow_any_attachment defaulted false) and had no bypass
at all on Telegram/Slack — so an .html (or any non-allowlisted type) was
dropped or hard-rejected before the agent saw it.
Now every authorized upload is cached and surfaced to the agent regardless
of type:
- base.cache_media_bytes(): unknown types cache as octet-stream (or the
caller-supplied MIME) instead of returning None — fixes the chokepoint
that Teams/Telegram-media route through.
- discord/telegram/slack adapters: removed the allowlist reject/skip; any
non-media attachment is typed DOCUMENT and cached. Known types keep their
precise MIME.
- Text inlining now gates on a shared _TEXT_INJECT_EXTENSIONS set (text +
code + config + markup) instead of a blind UTF-8 decode, so binary formats
(PDF/zip/docx) with ASCII headers are never inlined.
- gateway/run.py emits the path-pointing context note for every DOCUMENT,
including non text/application MIME types.
- discord.allow_any_attachment is now a documented no-op kept for config
back-compat.
Validation: 357 gateway tests pass; E2E confirms .html/.bin/custom types
cache, known types stay precise, PDFs are not inlined.
When `hermes dashboard --host 0.0.0.0` is run interactively with the auth
gate engaged but no DashboardAuthProvider configured, prompt to set up the
bundled username/password provider on the spot (or point at `hermes dashboard
register` for OAuth) instead of only emitting the fail-closed error.
- main.py: `_maybe_setup_dashboard_auth_interactively()` runs before
start_server. No-ops on loopback binds, when a provider is already
registered, or when stdin/stdout isn't a TTY (Docker/s6, CI, piped runs) so
the fail-closed SystemExit stays the backstop for unattended deploys. On the
password path it writes dashboard.basic_auth.{username,password_hash,secret}
to config.yaml (scrypt hash, never plaintext), then force-rediscovers
plugins so the basic provider registers before the gate check.
- web_server.py: fix the fail-closed hint — it told operators to set
`dashboard_auth.basic.username` but the provider reads `dashboard.basic_auth`.
- docs: note the interactive setup under Fail-closed semantics.
No new env vars; reuses the existing dashboard.basic_auth config surface.
Sibling-site follow-up to the AGENTS.md token-lock fix (#50481). Platform
adapters migrated from gateway/platforms/<name>.py to
plugins/platforms/<name>/adapter.py; a handful (signal, weixin, bluebubbles,
qqbot, yuanbao, msgraph_webhook, webhook, api_server) still live in
gateway/platforms/.
- adding-platform-adapters.md: new-adapter creation path + reference-impl table
- gateway-internals.md: rewrite the adapter tree to reflect the actual split
- zh-Hans mirrors of both kept in parity
- scripts/release.py: add TutkuEroglu to AUTHOR_MAP (CI gate)
* feat(providers): remove google-gemini-cli + google-antigravity OAuth providers
Google now actively bans accounts for third-party tools that piggyback on
Gemini CLI / Antigravity / Code Assist OAuth, and because abuse prevention
sits at a backend layer the ban can extend to the entire Google account
(Gmail/Drive), with a second violation being permanent.
Ref: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/20632
Removes both OAuth inference providers entirely (modules, provider profiles,
auth/runtime/config/models wiring, the /gquota Code Assist quota command,
the antigravity-cli optional skill, desktop + docs surface in en + zh-Hans).
The API-key 'gemini' provider (GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY against
generativelanguage.googleapis.com) is unaffected and stays fully supported.
* fix(skills): keep the antigravity-cli skill — only the OAuth provider is removed
The antigravity-cli optional skill orchestrates the external `agy` binary as
a coding-agent tool via the terminal tool — it does NOT wrap Hermes inference
through the banned google-antigravity OAuth provider, so it carries none of
the account-ban risk that motivated removing that provider. Restore the skill,
its docs page, the sidebar entry, and the optional-skills catalog row. The
google-antigravity / google-gemini-cli inference providers stay fully removed.
The s6 dashboard entrypoint and docker integration tests relied on
HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE=1 to bring up a 0.0.0.0 dashboard with no auth
provider. With --insecure now a no-op (auth gate mandatory on non-loopback
binds), that path fails closed.
- s6 dashboard/run: drop --insecure derivation; warn that the env is a no-op
and point operators at HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_* / OAuth.
- docker tests: supervision tests now register the bundled basic password
provider (HERMES_DASHBOARD_BASIC_AUTH_USERNAME/_PASSWORD) so the gate has a
provider and the dashboard binds. Rewrote the insecure-opt-out test to
assert fail-closed (dashboard does NOT serve) instead of gate-bypass.
- docs (en + zh-Hans): HERMES_DASHBOARD_INSECURE documented as deprecated
no-op; basic-auth is the zero-infra way to authenticate a containerized
public dashboard.
The kanban-worker and kanban-orchestrator bundled skills existed only to
be force-loaded into dispatcher-spawned workers, gated by
environments:[kanban] so they wouldn't leak into normal CLI listings.
That gating was fragile (the leak that #50443 patched) and the
--skills auto-load was already best-effort — most workers ran without it
because the bundled skill isn't present in profile-scoped skills dirs.
Remove the skills entirely and promote their load-bearing content
(workspace kinds, deliverable artifacts, created-card integrity, profile
discovery) into KANBAN_GUIDANCE, which is already injected into every
kanban worker's system prompt. Net result: every worker reliably gets
the guidance, nothing can leak into a CLI/blank-slate session, and the
gating machinery is gone.
- agent/prompt_builder.py: promote the 4 load-bearing rules into KANBAN_GUIDANCE
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: drop --skills kanban-worker auto-injection + _kanban_worker_skill_available probe
- hermes_cli/kanban_swarm.py: drop skills=[kanban-orchestrator] on the root card
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: drop kanban-init skill seeding; fix help text
- delete skills/devops/kanban-{worker,orchestrator}
- docs: delete the two skill pages (EN+zh), fix sidebars/catalog/kanban.md/kanban-worker-lanes.md and the video-orchestrator + codex-lane references
- tests: update spawn-argv expectations; re-bound the guidance-size guard
Supersedes the skill-leak half of #50443 (credit @helix4u for flagging the area).
Answers a recurring plugin-author question: how to read the active
profile and drive Hermes from inside a hook callback when ctx._cli_ref
is None (gateway, hermes chat -q, and kanban-spawned worker sessions).
- Adds a 'Act from inside a hook' section to the plugin guide covering
ctx.profile_name and ctx.dispatch_tool as the session-agnostic APIs,
with a kanban_task_blocked example, and notes there is no in-process
slash-command bridge for headless workers (shell out via the terminal
tool instead).
- Adds the three kanban lifecycle hooks to the hook reference table with
their process semantics.
- Pins the contract with a regression test: ctx.dispatch_tool invokes a
tool handler with _cli_ref=None (worker/hook context).

hermes -w created the worktree branch from the standalone clone's HEAD, which
lags origin when the clone isn't freshly updated (it's only refreshed by
hermes update, not per session). Every worktree branch then rooted on a stale
base, so the PR diff GitHub computes against current main ballooned with
unrelated changes and the agent had to discover the staleness at push time and
rebase.
_resolve_worktree_base() now fetches and branches from the freshest available
ref: the current branch's upstream if it tracks one (so a deliberate
feature-branch worktree tracks its own remote), else the remote's default
branch (origin/HEAD), else local HEAD as a fail-soft fallback (offline / no
remote / detached). A bogus 'origin/(unknown)' default is guarded, and worktree
creation retries from HEAD if branching off the remote ref fails — so this is
never worse than the old behavior.
Gated by worktree_sync (default true); set worktree_sync: false to keep the
old branch-from-local-HEAD behavior. The resolved base is printed in the
session banner.
This is the follow-up to the #50319 session, where the standalone clone was
213 commits behind origin and the worktree inherited that stale base.
Rich messages are not ready for primetime: current Telegram clients can
render Bot API 10.1 rich messages as blank/unsupported bubbles and make
them hard to copy as plain text, which is worse than the legacy
MarkdownV2 path for command snippets and mobile handoffs. Default the
rich_messages toggle to False so replies stay on the copyable legacy
path; users opt in per bot via platforms.telegram.extra.rich_messages:
true. Updates adapter, gateway config default, example config, English +
zh-Hans docs, and the default/opt-in tests.
The gateway pre-compression hygiene valve force-compressed any session
crossing 400 messages regardless of token usage. On large-context (1M+)
models doing many short, message-dense turns, a healthy session at ~16%
token usage could hit 400 messages and get force-compressed — and the
compression summary's stale Active Task could then bleed into the next
turn.
The valve's actual purpose is to break a death spiral: when API calls
keep disconnecting on an oversized session, no token-usage data arrives,
the token threshold never fires, and the transcript grows unbounded.
It's a count-based floor for that pathological case only. 400 was tuned
for ~200K-context models and is far too low for modern large-context
sessions. Raise the default to 5000 — still well clear of any death
spiral, but no longer firing on legitimate long conversations.
The value remains fully configurable via compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit.
Adds hermes_cli/context_switch_guard.py mirroring the model_cost_guard
pattern. When a user switches models mid-session (Herm TUI picker, CLI,
or /model on Telegram/Discord), the warning surfaces on the existing
ModelSwitchResult.warning_message path used by the expensive-model
guard if the new model's compression threshold is below the current
session size.
Partial fix for #23767 — addresses only the 'user-facing guardrail
when switching from a high-context provider to a substantially
lower-context provider' slice. The other proposed fixes from that
issue (hard preflight token guard, metadata cache invalidation on
switch, compression safety invariant, oversized tool-output handling)
are out of scope for this PR.
- Remove the 'you only log in once per machine' claim from spotify.md
and document the ~6-month refresh token expiry with re-auth instructions
- Add test_client_wraps_invalid_grant_as_spotify_auth_required_error to
confirm SpotifyClient wraps AuthError(code=spotify_refresh_invalid_grant)
into SpotifyAuthRequiredError with a user-facing message

When model.context_length is set in config.yaml, it blocks auto-detection
from the server's /v1/models endpoint. The skill incorrectly implied a
hard fallback to 131072. Add the resolution chain and the fix command
(hermes config set model.context_length "") to both the config table
and a new troubleshooting section.
Closes#48835
The bundled himalaya skill and its website docs documented command
syntax that does not match Himalaya CLI v1.2.0.
Verified against pimalaya/himalaya v1.2.0 source:
- message move: MessageMoveCommand declares target_folder BEFORE
envelopes (src/email/message/command/move.rs) -> usage is
'<TARGET> <ID>...', so 'move 42 "Archive"' is wrong; correct is
'move "Archive" 42'.
- message copy: same ordering in copy.rs.
- attachment download: AttachmentDownloadCommand exposes the flag as
'-d, --downloads-dir <PATH>' (src/email/message/attachment/command/
download.rs), not '--dir'.
Fixed in all three surfaces that carried the wrong examples:
- skills/email/himalaya/SKILL.md
- website/docs/.../email-himalaya.md
- website/i18n/zh-Hans/.../email-himalaya.md
* feat(setup): Blank Slate setup mode — minimal agent, opt in to everything
Adds a third first-time setup option alongside Quick Setup and Full Setup.
Blank Slate forces ON only what an agent needs to run — provider & model,
the File Operations toolset, and the Terminal toolset — and turns
everything else OFF, then walks the user through opting each capability
back in.
What it does:
- platform_toolsets.cli = [file, terminal] (explicit, authoritative list)
- agent.disabled_toolsets = every other known toolset (web, browser,
code_execution, vision, memory, delegation, cronjob, skills, image_gen,
kanban, …). Applied last in the resolver, so it overrides the
non-configurable platform-toolset recovery that would otherwise re-add
toolsets like kanban — guaranteeing a true blank slate.
- Optional config features off: compression, memory + user-profile capture,
checkpoints, smart model routing, auto session reset.
- Bundled skills default to NONE (reuses the .no-bundled-skills marker);
offers to seed the full catalog.
- Walks through tools / plugins / MCP / messaging, all opt-in.
Proven end-to-end: with the Blank Slate config, model_tools.get_tool_definitions
emits exactly 6 schemas — patch, process, read_file, search_files, terminal,
write_file. Nothing else reaches the model.
Re-enable later via hermes tools / hermes skills opt-in --sync /
hermes setup agent.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_blank_slate.py (8 tests) pin the writers,
the resolver invariant ({file, terminal}), and the 6-schema end-to-end set.
Docs: getting-started/quickstart.md documents all three setup modes.
* feat(setup): Blank Slate fork — finish minimal, or walk through configs
After applying the minimal baseline (provider/model + file + terminal,
everything else off), Blank Slate now presents a choice instead of always
running the full walkthrough:
1. Start with everything disabled — finish now with the minimal agent.
2. Walk through all configurations — opt in to tools, skills, plugins, MCP,
and messaging.
Provider/model and terminal are still configured first either way (the agent
can't run without them). The finish-now path records the bundled-skill opt-out
so future `hermes update` runs don't re-inject skills. The walkthrough body
moved to a separate _blank_slate_walkthrough() helper.
Tests: TestBlankSlateFork covers both branches (finish-now applies baseline +
skill opt-out and skips the walkthrough; walkthrough path invokes it). Docs
updated to describe the fork.
Sets the Telegram bot's short description (the line under its name) to
"Online" on gateway connect and "Offline" on clean disconnect, gated
behind extra.status_indicator (off by default).
Telegram bots have no presence/online dot — that's a user-account
feature the Bot API doesn't expose for bots. The short description is
the closest available surface, so this gives users a way to tell whether
the gateway is up from the bot's profile.
- New extra.status_indicator flag (+ status_online/status_offline text
overrides), read in __init__ via config.extra — no config-schema change.
- _set_status_indicator() helper: best-effort, swallows API errors so it
never blocks connect/disconnect; truncates to Telegram's 120-char cap.
- Wired Online after _mark_connected(), Offline at top of disconnect()
while the bot HTTP client is still alive.
- 9 unit tests + Telegram docs section.

Adds a Raft platform adapter as a bundled plugin (plugins/platforms/raft/)
connecting Hermes to Raft as an external agent via a wake-channel bridge.
The adapter starts a loopback HTTP endpoint, spawns 'raft agent bridge' as a
child process, and injects content-free wake hints into the gateway session
pipeline. The agent reads/sends messages through the Raft CLI; the adapter
never touches message bodies or delivery cursors. Activity observer hooks
report tool/LLM/session lifecycle events via a bounded at-most-once queue.
Auto-enables when RAFT_PROFILE is set.
Cherry-picked from PR #47629. Authored by skyzh (@xxchan).
Extend the 'Running Many Gateways at Once' user-guide page with a
'one gateway for all profiles (multiplexing)' section, kept to a single page:
- How to opt in (gateway.multiplex_profiles on the default profile) and when to
prefer it vs one-process-per-profile.
- Every contract change a user sees when the flag is on:
1. secondary-profile 'gateway start' is a hard error (--force escape hatch),
2. HTTP-inbound reached via /p/<profile>/ prefix; secondary profiles must NOT
enable a port-binding platform (webhook/api_server/msgraph_webhook/feishu/
wecom_callback/bluebubbles/sms) — config error at startup,
3. per-credential platforms still need their own token per profile,
4. session keys namespaced agent:<profile>: (default stays agent:main:),
5. single PID/lock + aggregated hermes status, per-profile runtime_status.json.
- What does NOT change: per-profile .env credential isolation (stricter, incl.
MCP/Kanban subprocess env), Kanban, profile-scoped skills/memory/SOUL, routing.
All inert when the flag is off.
