Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Add a persisted, backend-confirmed provider/model lock for Hermes
Browser and other session API clients. A confirmed lock is an
execution contract rather than response metadata:
- POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/model validates and persists a
confirmed browser_model_lock (advertised in /v1/capabilities)
- session chat + chat/stream consume the persisted lock on body-only
follow-up turns; a confirmed lock wins over an older gateway session
/model override and the session-persisted model
- a later successful session /model switch explicitly clears and
replaces the lock while preserving lineage markers (_branched_from)
and invalidating cached system-prompt model/provider metadata
- ordinary one-off request overrides never replace a confirmed lock
- provider-resolution failure fails closed as a typed provider-auth
error (controlled response, never global-credential reuse)
- confirmed locks disable the global fallback model chain
- the completed agent's actual provider/model must match the locked
route or the turn fails with a runtime-mismatch error
- responses carry sanitized runtime metadata reporting actual vs
requested provider/model and lock state
Rebased onto the provider-aware request routing (#70853) and
session-model parity (#70931) that landed since the original branch;
the lock now slots into that precedence chain as the top rung.

Add authenticated GET /api/model/options to the gateway API server,
sharing the dashboard/TUI picker payload builder so external clients
can sync to the user's configured Hermes provider catalog instead of
scraping the single OpenAI-compatible /v1/models alias.
- new shared hermes_cli.inventory.build_model_options_payload() wraps
build_models_payload with the stable picker shape and safe
custom-provider probe policy (probe current only on normal open,
probe all + cache bust on explicit refresh)
- dashboard web_server and TUI gateway model.options refactored onto
the shared builder; dashboard build moved off the event loop via
run_in_threadpool
- capabilities endpoint advertises model_options
- docs for both API server and programmatic integration
