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.
Follow-ups for salvaged PR #43819: the registry key was
str(Path(db_path).expanduser()) — a symlinked or relative path to the
same DB file got its own connection, silently reintroducing the exact
multi-writer contention the registry prevents. Key on Path.resolve()
(OSError-tolerant fallback). Adds a symlink regression test and the
AUTHOR_MAP entry for adambiggs.
Structural completion of the malformed-job freeze fixes (#61382 id-less,
#61525 non-dict schedule, #61581 bad next_run_at): wrap the per-job body
of _get_due_jobs_locked in try/except so any FUTURE malformed-field
variant degrades to skipping that one job for the tick instead of
aborting the scan before save_jobs() and freezing the whole profile's
scheduler.
Also: restore test_repeated_concurrent_runs_accumulate_completed_count
to TestMarkJobRunConcurrency (accidentally re-parented by the #61581
diff), add a containment regression test, and AUTHOR_MAP for hydracoco7.
E2E: one jobs.json carrying all five malformed shapes (drifted job_id,
missing id, null schedule, garbage next_run_at, non-string last_run_at)
plus a healthy sibling — single tick contains all five, sibling fires,
repairs persist, second tick stable. 670 cron tests green.
The salvaged fix sets HERMES_YOLO_MODE in main()'s dispatch path before
_prepare_agent_startup(); this follow-up also sets it inside
_prepare_agent_startup() itself so every launcher that triggers plugin/tool
discovery (incl. the Termux fast-CLI path) gets the same ordering guarantee
before tools.approval freezes _YOLO_MODE_FROZEN (#60328).
Structured review (2a/2b/2c) findings, all fixed:
- MAJOR: detect_local_server_type memo was process-lifetime with no
invalidation, permanently pinning a URL's server type. Now a bounded
1h TTL ((type, monotonic) tuples) so a backend swap on the same port
is re-detected. Test covers ollama->lm-studio swap after expiry.
- MAJOR: legacy disk-row compat was one-way. get_cached_context_length
and _invalidate_cached_context_length now consult the same key-shape
set {canonical, literal, canonical+slash} in both directions, so an
old slashed row is found (and cleared) when the runtime passes the
normalized URL. Tests pin both migration directions.
- MINOR: _localhost_to_ipv4 did whole-string replacement, which could
corrupt a proxy URL embedding http://localhost in its query. Now a
scheme-anchored host-only regex; localhost.example.com and embedded
substrings pass through. Tests added.
- MINOR: _invalidate_cached_context_length now also drops the
in-memory TTL probe rows for the pair, so a resolution inside the
TTL window can't re-persist the value just declared stale.
- Test gaps closed: detect-type cache hit + TTL-expiry re-detection,
ollama-show TTL expiry re-probe, reverse legacy-row lookups.
- Attribution gate: added zhchl@hermes-agent.local -> 8294 (PR #50572
author) to AUTHOR_MAP; the strict CI grep needs bare non-plus emails
literal in release.py.
Gates: ruff clean; targeted suites 202 passed / 0 failed; full
tests/agent 5426 passed with 17 failures identical on clean
upstream/main (pre-existing env-dependent anthropic/bedrock/credpool
tests); mypy delta vs base: 0 new errors; live smoke 6/6 PASS.
Every 5 minutes fetch_endpoint_model_metadata() re-runs the full server-type
waterfall (LM Studio -> Ollama -> llama.cpp -> vLLM), spraying 404s at
endpoints the server never exposes (e.g. /api/v1/models and /api/tags on a
vllm backend).
Add _endpoint_probe_path_cache (base_url -> server type) so the first
successful probe's result is reused for the lifetime of the process.
Subsequent refreshes skip straight to the known-good path.
Fixes#29971.

- derive the compact_rows projection from SCHEMA_SQL (parse once, cache)
instead of a hardcoded column list: the original #47437 list was cut
against a June schema and silently dropped session_key/chat_id/chat_type/
thread_id/display_name/origin_json/expiry_finalized/git_branch/
git_repo_root/compression_failure_* — including desktop sidebar fields.
Schema-derived means declaratively reconciled new columns are included
automatically; only system_prompt is excluded.
- guard test pinning the schema<->projection contract (mutation-verified:
dropping a column from the projection fails it)
- wire compact_rows=(not full) into /api/sessions and /api/profiles/sessions
so the SQL projection pairs with the API-level field strip (?full=1 still
returns complete rows end-to-end)
- pass compact_rows at the remaining hot list callers: /api/status active
count, _session_latest_descendant fallback, /api/sessions/stats by-source
- thread compact_rows through the compression-tip projection
(_get_session_rich_row) so projected tips can't reintroduce the blob
- add pagination tests for get_messages (#60347 shipped none): paging order,
offset-past-end, active-flag interaction; add tip-projection compact test
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for mahdiwafy + CodeForgeNet (plain emails)
- run_route_script shells out with subprocess.run (up to 30s timeout); wrap
the call in asyncio.to_thread so a slow script can't stall every other
webhook and gateway task on the loop.
- scripts/release.py: map grace@weeb.onl -> evelynburger for the salvaged
contributor commit.
The April 2026 pin to WhiskeySockets/Baileys#01047deb existed only to
pick up the abprops bad-request fix (Baileys PR #2473) before it was
released. That fix shipped in v7.0.0-rc11 (May 2026); our pinned commit
is now 48 commits behind rc13.
The git pin forced npm to clone the repo and compile Baileys from
TypeScript source on every fresh install (~3 min), which blew past the
dashboard pairing flow's timeout. Registry install takes ~3s.
Validation: all 9 bridge.js imports present in rc13, bridge.native.test.mjs
passes (13/13), live bridge boot renders pairing QR against real WA servers.
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.
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.

npm postinstall hooks spawn cmd.exe child processes that could not resolve
`node` even when the installer found npm — causing desktop workspace npm
install to fail with exit 1 (#48130).
Discord thread names share the same UTF-16 component budget as select

* fix(gateway): use process-level HERMES_HOME for identity files
Gateway identity files (PID, lock, runtime status, takeover/stop markers)
were written via get_hermes_home() which honours the _HERMES_HOME_OVERRIDE
contextvar used for per-session profile dispatch. When a profile-context
task happened to be active at write time, files landed in the wrong profile
directory.
Add _get_process_hermes_home() that skips the contextvar and uses only the
HERMES_HOME env var or platform default, and route all gateway identity file
paths through it.

* fix(dashboard): use loopback host for in-container WebSocket client (#58993)
Fixes#58993 - the in-container Dashboard's WebSocket client was dialing
the bind host (0.0.0.0) instead of 127.0.0.1, hijacking the host browser
when the container port was exposed.
* `hermes_cli/web_server.py::resolve_dashboard_ws_url()` now substitutes
127.0.0.1 for any 0.0.0.0 bind host discovered via the existing
`find_unused_port` / `get_listen_address` path. LAN IPs and explicit
`DASHBOARD_WS_HOST` overrides pass through unchanged.
* Existing tests preserved (no regression on the explicit-bind case).
Tests in `tests/dashboard/test_ws_client_host.py` cover:
- Bind host 0.0.0.0 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1
- Bind host 127.0.0.1 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1 (no regression)
- Bind host 192.168.1.5 → ws URL preserves the LAN IP
- DASHBOARD_WS_HOST env override wins over auto-detection

* fix(auth): resolve Anthropic OAuth file per-profile + close port-binding platform gaps
Two focused pieces salvaged from PR #57563:
1. _HERMES_OAUTH_FILE was computed at module import time — frozen before
HERMES_HOME/profile overrides, so multiplexed profile turns read and
wrote the DEFAULT profile's .anthropic_oauth.json (OAuth path hijack).
Replaced with a lazy _get_hermes_oauth_file(); all web_server.py call
sites updated.
2. _PORT_BINDING_PLATFORM_VALUES was missing whatsapp_cloud and line —
both bind aiohttp TCP listeners, so a secondary multiplex profile
enabling them would collide with the primary's listener instead of
failing fast at startup.
Original work by @austinlaw076. The rest of #57563 was redundant on
main (adapter routing sweep superseded by #56854's salvage; cron secret
scope landed in fdab380a1; nested-config fallback in from_dict).

* fix(gateway): scope reset banners' session info to the serving profile
The auto-reset notice and the manual /reset //new banner both appended
_format_session_info() outside any profile scope, so a multiplexed
gateway advertised the base config's model/provider/context while the
session actually ran on the profile's.
Route both call sites through a new _reset_notice_session_info(source),
which enters _profile_runtime_scope for the source's profile when
gateway.multiplex_profiles is on (mirroring _run_agent's gating), so
_load_gateway_config()/_resolve_gateway_model() resolve the profile's
config.yaml via the existing context-local home override. Single-profile
gateways never enter the scope — behavior unchanged.
Both call sites invoke the helper via asyncio.to_thread: under the
scope, resolution can do blocking work (credential refresh,
context-length HTTP probes) that previously failed fast unscoped and
must not run on the event loop.

The stage2-hook auth.json seed is first-boot-only ([ ! -f auth.json ]) to avoid
clobbering rotated refresh tokens on restart. That guard means a container whose
Nous bootstrap session took a terminal invalid_grant (tokens cleared,
providers.nous.last_auth_error.relogin_required stamped) cannot recover from a
restart — it stays unauthenticated until the credential is replaced.
Add a self-heal path: an orchestrator that manages the container supplies a
freshly-issued session via HERMES_AUTH_JSON_REBOOTSTRAP (distinct from the
create-only *_BOOTSTRAP var). On boot, scripts/docker_rebootstrap_nous_session.py
swaps ONLY the providers.nous entry, and ONLY when the on-disk entry is provably
terminal (quarantine marker + no usable tokens). Healthy/rotating/absent/
unparseable auth.json is always a no-op, so the env is safe to leave set across
restarts and never clobbers a good token. Pure stdlib, runs as its own
subprocess, always exits 0 so a re-seed error never fails the boot.
Reuses the same terminal predicate as get_nous_session_validity() so we re-seed
only a session that is genuinely dead.
The salvaged commits from #32824 use a bare
spiky02plateau@users.noreply.github.com (no numeric-id + prefix), which the
contributor-check.yml gate does not auto-resolve (it only skips the
<id>+<user>@users.noreply form). Add the explicit mapping so attribution CI
passes and release notes credit @spiky02plateau.
The 'CI timing report' job is pure observability — it collects per-job/step
durations from the GitHub API after the run and publishes an HTML gantt
report + PR-vs-main timing diff. It gates nothing (all-checks-pass does not
include it), yet it could redden a PR: the script makes dozens of paginated
API calls with the shared repo GITHUB_TOKEN and had zero retry handling, so
a single 403 (rate-limit burst when several PRs run CI concurrently) failed
the job. Observed twice in a row on PR #59805.
- api_get(): retry 403/429/5xx and connection errors with exponential
backoff, honoring Retry-After / X-RateLimit-Reset (max 5 attempts, 120s
cap). Non-transient statuses (404 etc.) still fail fast.
- main(): exhausted retries raise TimingsUnavailable, caught to emit a
degraded summary line + placeholder HTML artifact and exit 0 — a metrics
collector must never fail the PR's checks. No timings JSON is written on
the degraded path so an empty baseline can never be cached.
- ci.yml: baseline-save steps on main skip gracefully when no JSON exists.
Verified with a mocked urlopen harness: retry-then-success (3 attempts),
exhausted-retries -> TimingsUnavailable, 404 fails fast without retry,
degraded main() exits 0 with summary + placeholder and no JSON, and the
--from-json happy path is unchanged.
Follow-up on the cherry-picked #36896 commits, wiring 1Password into
the new registry as the reference *mapped* source:
- OnePasswordSource adapter (shape=mapped, scheme=op): fetch-only —
precedence, override semantics, conflict warnings, and env writes
move to the orchestrator; apply_onepassword_secrets kept as legacy
shim like Bitwarden's.
- Registered in _ensure_builtin_sources; mapped op:// bindings now
outrank bulk Bitwarden project dumps on contested vars.
- _cache.py FetchResult/is_valid_env_name re-exported from base so
there is exactly one canonical definition; bitwarden.py re-adapted
onto the contributor's DiskCache substrate.
- ErrorKind classification for op failures (auth/binary/empty/network).
- Registry + conformance coverage for OnePasswordSource, incl. the
headline multi-source test: both vaults claim the same var, mapped
1Password wins, conflict surfaced, provenance correct.
- env_loader tests migrated off the legacy apply_* mocks onto the
fetch layer; AUTHOR_MAP entry for @hwrdprkns.
check-attribution CI fails on unmapped bare (non-noreply) contributor

register_mcp_servers now nudges cached entries whose session is None
via _signal_reconnect, so a new agent session recovers a parked server
immediately instead of waiting up to _PARKED_RETRY_INTERVAL for the

@LeonSGP43 (#37772), @Tranquil-Flow (#37899).
Port from nanocoai/nanoclaw#2895's never-silently-drop guarantee.
Before: saveMedia() in scripts/whatsapp-bridge/bridge_helpers.js awaited
downloadMedia() with no try/catch. A failed CDN fetch (expired media URL,
transient network error — Baileys throws 'Failed to fetch stream from
https://mmg.whatsapp.net/...') rejected out of extractBridgeEvent, which
bridge.js awaits inside its messages.upsert for-loop with no per-message
guard — dropping the failed message AND every remaining message in the
same upsert batch, silently.
After:
- saveMedia catches download/write failures, records the media type, and
logs a console.warn instead of rejecting.
- appendMediaFailureNote() (exported pure helper, mirroring the file's
testable-helper convention) surfaces '[<type> could not be downloaded]'
in the event body, so the agent learns media was sent rather than the
attachment vanishing. Applied before the '[<type> received]' fallback
so an uncaptioned failed image reads as a failure, not an arrival.
The reuploadRequest recovery half of nanoclaw#2895 is already wired in
bridge.js (downloadMediaMessage(..., { reuploadRequest:
sock.updateMediaMessage })); this ports the containment half hermes was
missing.
Tests: 3 new cases in bridge.native.test.mjs (note formatting, uncaptioned
failure containment, captioned failure note). All 5 bridge test files pass.
ruff check --fix --select F541 . on current main. Pure prefix removals;
adjacent-string concatenations keep the f only on interpolating fragments.

* fix(cli): set correct x-initiator header per Copilot turn
copilot_default_headers() always hardcoded x-initiator: agent, but
GitHub Copilot billing requires "user" for user-initiated prompts and
"agent" for tool/follow-up calls. This caused premium requests to never
be consumed correctly, risking billing issues or account bans.
Adds is_agent_turn param to copilot_default_headers() and injects
extra_headers={"x-initiator": "user"} on the first API call of each
user turn when targeting Copilot URLs. The flag flips to False after
injection so subsequent calls (tool use, streaming fallback) default
back to "agent".

Contributor of the salvaged PR #58276 fix commit. Required so the
contributor attribution CI check passes on the rebase-merge that
preserves their authorship.
Follow-up to @msh01's wall-deadline init-timeout fix.
- Resource leak: on timeout the initialize() task is abandoned without
awaiting its (shielded, possibly-never-completing) cancellation, so the
half-built PTB app's httpx client / connection pool was never closed —
up to 8x across the retry ladder. Add an optional on_abandon cleanup to
_await_with_thread_deadline that best-effort app.shutdown()s the abandoned
app, run detached + exception-swallowed so it can never re-block or re-hang
the ladder (mirrors _close_client_on_timeout in agent/auxiliary_client.py).
- Cover the helper itself: the salvaged test monkeypatched out the real
_await_with_thread_deadline, so its abandonment/cleanup path was untested.
Add direct tests for happy-path return, prompt-timeout-with-cleanup, and
cleanup-error-swallowed; the wedged coroutines swallow cancellation for a
bounded window (proving the helper returns before cancellation completes,
the #58236 shielded-scope behavior) without leaving an immortal task that
would wedge pytest teardown. Widen the salvaged stub to accept on_abandon.
- Attribution: add yingwaizhiying@gmail.com -> msh01 to AUTHOR_MAP (bare
gmail does not auto-resolve the check-attribution gate).
Known follow-up (not addressed here): the retry ladder reuses the same
self._app across all 8 attempts; a fresh app per attempt would fully close
the coherence risk if an abandoned initialize() completes in the background.
That is a larger restructure of the ~130-line builder+handler setup, left
for a separate change.

Salvage of PR #57893 (envelope-layout prompt-cache marker fix, #57845)
uses the contributor's local git identity lavya@loom.local, which is not
GitHub-resolvable. Add the mapping so contributor_audit passes when the
salvage PR lands.
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).
