Use the shared observer/target resolver for session context so peer='user' and explicit configured peer IDs query Honcho from the same assistant-observed perspective when allowed. Add regression coverage for user alias, explicit peer, and self-observer fallback.
honcho_profile(peer="user") returned an empty card even when Honcho
held a populated peer card for the user. Two independent bugs combined
to produce the symptom:
1. Read path: get_peer_card() called _fetch_peer_card(observer, target=user),
which hits GET /peers/{observer}/card?target={user} — the observer's local
card of the user. On self-hosted Honcho v3 this slot is empty unless writes
also use it. The peer card lives on the user peer itself
(GET /peers/{user}/card). Add a fallback: when the observer-target slot is
empty and a target exists, retry against the target peer's own card.
2. Write path: set_peer_card() resolved only the target peer and called
user_peer.set_card(card). The read path uses the assistant peer as
observer, so writes and reads addressed different Honcho card scopes.
Align set_peer_card() with _resolve_observer_target() so writes go to
assistant_peer.set_card(card, target=user_peer_id), matching the read.
Both paths now use the same observer/target resolution, and the read
path additionally falls back to the target's own card for compatibility
with deployments where cards were written directly to the peer.

Three related regressions stemming from the pinUserPeer alias landing:
- Setup wizard read host-only fields when detecting current shape but the
parser supports root-level config and gives host pinUserPeer higher
precedence than pinPeerName. Re-running setup could mis-detect shape
and silently flip routing. Detection now uses the same resolver order
as HonchoClientConfig, and each shape branch scrubs every peer-mapping
key before writing so a stale pinUserPeer=false can't outrank a freshly
written pinPeerName=true. Multi no longer auto-writes
userPeerAliases={} (was silently masking root-level baselines).
- clone_honcho_for_profile inherited pinPeerName but not pinUserPeer, so
a default profile configured with the newer key produced cloned
profiles without the pin.
- Gateway cache-busting signature fingerprinted Honcho user-peer fields
but not ai_peer. Since HonchoSessionManager freezes cfg.ai_peer at
init, mid-flight aiPeer edits kept assistant writes on the old peer
until an unrelated cache eviction. ai_peer is now part of the
signature.
Remove "PR #14984 / #27371 / #1969" references and "the original key /
legacy / backwards-compatible / Port #N" narration from the honcho
plugin README, tests, and one stale code comment. These artefacts age
poorly: they describe how a change happened rather than what the code
does today, and they tax readers who weren't around for the original
work.
Also drop a dangling reference to scratch/memory-plugin-ux-specs.md in
__init__.py — the file isn't in the repo or git history.
No behaviour change.
Three correctness gaps when honcho.json's identity-mapping config changes
mid-flight:
1. The gateway's agent cache signature ignored honcho identity keys, so
editing peerName / pinPeerName / userPeerAliases / runtimePeerPrefix
was silently dropped until an unrelated cache eviction. Extend
_extract_cache_busting_config to fingerprint the resolved honcho
config so the AIAgent rebuilds on the next message.
2. cmd_setup let single → multi flips orphan the pinned-pool history
under peerName without warning. Detect the transition, warn that
runtime users will resolve to fresh empty peers, and auto-steer to
hybrid (alias the operator's runtime IDs back to peerName) so the
operator's own continuity survives. yes / no overrides available.
3. README didn't document the orphaning behaviour. Add a "Migrating
single → multi" callout under Deployment shapes.
Tests:
- TestPinTransition (test_pin_peer_name.py): fresh-manager flip resolves
to runtime, in-process flip is gated by the per-key session cache
(documents the gateway-cache-must-bust contract), 3 cache-bust
signature tests for pin / aliases / prefix.
- TestProfilePeerUniqueness: two profiles pinned to distinct peerNames
resolve to distinct peers; host-level peerName overrides root when
pinned.
- test_single_to_multi_steers_to_hybrid_by_default and
test_single_to_multi_yes_override_keeps_multi (test_cli.py): wizard
guard end-to-end coverage.
PR #27371 introduced three new identity-mapping config keys
(pinPeerName, userPeerAliases, runtimePeerPrefix), but the README's
'Full Configuration Reference' didn't mention them. Operators had
to read the source to understand the resolver, leading to predictable
support questions ("why is my user split across two peers?", "what
does pinPeerName actually pin?").
Add a new 'Identity Mapping' subsection that covers:
* The four config keys (pinUserPeer + alias, userPeerAliases,
runtimePeerPrefix) with concrete examples.
* The 7-step resolver ladder so operators can predict which peer a
given runtime ID will land on.
* Why there's no symmetric pinAiPeer (the AI peer is already pinned
by construction; the asymmetry is intentional).
* Host vs root semantics (host-level replaces root for maps, wipes
with empty value).
* The three deployment shapes ('hermes honcho setup' uses these same
shape names) with one-line guidance per shape.
The original key 'pinPeerName' from #14984 is ambiguous: a fresh
reader can't tell whether it pins the user peer or the AI peer from
the name alone. The resolver only ever pins the user-side
(_resolve_user_peer_id short-circuits when pin_peer_name is true; the
AI peer is already pinned by construction via aiPeer).
Add 'pinUserPeer' as the canonical alias. Both keys land on the
same internal pin_peer_name field; precedence is host pinUserPeer →
host pinPeerName → root pinUserPeer → root pinPeerName → default.
Host-level always beats root-level regardless of alias, so a host
block can still explicitly disable a root-level pin even via the new
key.
Make _resolve_bool variadic so it can express the four-value
precedence chain. All existing callers pass two positional args +
default keyword, which the new signature accepts unchanged.
Internal var name (pin_peer_name) stays the same to keep the
cherry-picked #27371 commits clean and avoid a noisy rename diff.
The PR #27371 resolver introduced three identity-mapping config keys
(pinPeerName, userPeerAliases, runtimePeerPrefix), but operators had
no guided way to set them — they had to read the README, understand
the resolver ladder, and hand-edit honcho.json. This commit adds an
interactive step to 'hermes honcho setup' that asks one question
('what's your deployment shape?') and writes the right combination
of keys.
Three shapes cover the realistic deployments:
* single -- pinPeerName=true. All gateway users collapse to your
peerName. Recommended for personal/single-operator use.
* multi -- pinPeerName=false, no aliases. Each runtime user gets
their own peer. Optional runtimePeerPrefix for cross-
platform namespace isolation.
* hybrid -- pinPeerName=false, with userPeerAliases mapping YOUR
runtime IDs (Telegram UID, Discord snowflake, Slack
user, Matrix MXID) to peerName. Multi-user gateway
where you are a privileged operator.
A 'skip' option leaves existing identity-mapping config untouched —
critical because re-running setup must not silently wipe operator-
curated aliases.
The wizard detects the current shape from existing config so the
prompt's default matches what the operator already has.
PR #27371 added host-scoped userPeerAliases, runtimePeerPrefix, and
pinPeerName, but the cloned-profile allowlist in
plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py::clone_honcho_for_profile() omitted them.
A new profile created via 'hermes honcho setup' or similar would
silently drop the operator's identity-mapping config, causing gateway
users to resolve to raw runtime IDs and fragmenting Honcho memory
across an unintended set of peers.
Add the three keys to the allowlist and a regression test class
covering all three plus the unset case.
Per AGENTS.md, ~/.hermes/.env is reserved for API keys / secrets and
config.yaml is the surface for non-secret configuration. The Nous
Portal plugin previously read HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and
HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL from the environment only, which forced
local-dev / on-prem operators to put non-secret per-instance
configuration in .env — violating the convention.
Add dashboard.oauth.{client_id,portal_url} to DEFAULT_CONFIG and have
the plugin resolve each setting with env-overrides-config precedence:
1. Env var when set to a non-empty value (Fly.io platform-secret
injection — what pushes per-deploy client_ids without baking
them into the image).
2. config.yaml entry (canonical surface for local dev / on-prem).
3. Plugin default (no provider registered when client_id is empty;
portal_url defaults to https://portal.nousresearch.com).
Empty env values are explicitly treated as unset so a provisioned-but-
not-populated Fly secret can't accidentally shadow a valid config.yaml
entry with an empty string — operators would otherwise lose the gate.
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/config.py: add dashboard.oauth.{client_id,portal_url}
block to DEFAULT_CONFIG with full doc comment explaining the
override precedence and Fly.io rationale.
- plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/__init__.py: add _load_config_oauth_section,
_resolve_client_id, _resolve_portal_url helpers; replace the two
direct os.environ.get() calls in register() with the resolvers.
Update the skip-reason string to mention BOTH surfaces so an
operator looking at the fail-closed bind error knows config.yaml
is a valid alternative to the env var.
- plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/plugin.yaml: update description to
name both surfaces. requires_env stays pointing at the env var
name — it's metadata-only (not used by the plugin loader for
gating) so this is documentation/UX, not enforcement.
- cli-config.yaml.example: append commented dashboard.oauth block
with the same override rationale operators see in code.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md: rewrite the
'Default provider: Nous Research' section to lead with config.yaml,
present env vars as operator overrides (Fly.io's primary path).
Updated the example fail-closed bind error to match the new
skip-reason text.
Test coverage — new TestConfigYamlSource class (8 tests) pinning
every tier of the precedence chain:
- config-yaml-only path registers correctly
- both config-yaml fields (client_id + portal_url) honoured
- env var overrides config for client_id (Fly.io critical path)
- env var overrides config for portal_url
- empty env string does NOT shadow config (CI/Fly edge case)
- neither source set → skip with reason mentioning BOTH surfaces
- load_config() raising falls through to env-only path (resilience)
- non-dict oauth section falls through cleanly (typo resilience)
Mutation-tested: flipping the precedence to config-wins-over-env trips
exactly test_env_overrides_config_client_id while the other 7 stay
green, confirming the suite discriminates the order, not just the
sources.
This closes the last item in Teknium's PR review (PR #30156).
When jwt.decode raises InvalidTokenError, decode the token a second time
without signature verification (safe — we never trust the values, just
display them) and append the actual iss/aud claims plus our configured
expected values to the error message. Lets operators see config drift
between HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL / HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID
and what Portal is actually emitting without having to hand-decode the
JWT from the browser cookie.
The Nous OAuth provider plugin (plugins/dashboard_auth/nous) is bundled
and auto-loaded — same as before — but previously refused to register
unless BOTH HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL
were set, then the gate's fail-closed branch told the operator 'install
the default Nous provider'. That message is misleading: the provider IS
installed; it's just unconfigured. And the contract only really needs
the per-instance client_id — the portal URL is the same for everyone
in production.
Three changes:
1. plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/__init__.py:
- HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL is now optional and defaults to
'https://portal.nousresearch.com'. Override only for staging
(portal.rewbs.uk) or a custom deployment. Empty string also
falls back to the default so an empty Fly secret can't point
the dashboard at nowhere.
- Plugin exposes a module-level LAST_SKIP_REASON: str that the gate
reads when no providers register. Cleared on each register() call.
Skip reasons are human-readable and actionable
('HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID is not set. The Nous Portal
provisions this env var…').
2. plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/plugin.yaml:
- requires_env drops HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL; only the client_id
is mandatory. Description updated to reflect this.
3. hermes_cli/web_server.py:
- When the gate fail-closes for 'no providers', it now reads each
bundled plugin's LAST_SKIP_REASON and embeds them in the SystemExit
message. Operator sees the specific config fix needed:
Bundled providers reported these issues:
• nous: HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID is not set. …
instead of the prior generic 'Install the default Nous provider'.
Tests:
- TestPluginRegister rewritten to assert the new defaults +
LAST_SKIP_REASON contents (6 tests, +1 new for empty-string env).
- New gate test test_start_server_surfaces_nous_skip_reason_when_unconfigured.
- test_get_method_is_not_allowed widened to handle the SPA-shell 200
path explicitly — assertion now verifies no JSON ticket leaks
rather than asserting a specific status code (covers all four of
401/404/405/200).
Docs updated: web-dashboard.md's 'Default provider' section now shows
the env-var table with required/optional columns and embeds the
fail-closed error message verbatim so operators can match what they
see at the prompt.
Bundled, kind=backend, auto-loads. Activates ONLY when Portal-injected
env vars are present:
HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID — agent:{instance_id}
HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL — Portal base URL
Loopback / --insecure operators leave both unset and never see this
plugin register anything. The fail-closed branch in start_server handles
the 'public bind + zero providers' case independently.
Implementation follows nous-account-service PR #180's published OAuth
contract verbatim:
- client_id is per-instance (agent:{instance_id}); the suffix is
cross-checked against the token's agent_instance_id claim as
defense-in-depth (contract C9).
- scope is agent_dashboard:access only (contract C3).
- aud is the bare client_id, no hermes-cli: prefix (contract C2).
- RS256 JWT verification against /.well-known/jwks.json with
5-minute cache (contract C7).
- No refresh tokens in V1: refresh_session always raises
RefreshExpiredError; revoke_session is a no-op (contract C5).
- oauth_contract_version claim: missing → warn + proceed; present
and != 1 → refuse (contract C11, OQ-C2 tolerant treatment).
- redirect_uri validated client-side as defense before bouncing to
Portal; authoritative check is server-side per agent-redirect-uri.ts.
41 new tests covering construction, plugin-entry env gating, start_login
shape, complete_login httpx-mocked happy path + error mapping,
verify_session JWT verification (RSA keypair fixture, full claim-check
matrix), refresh_session always raising, revoke_session no-op.
PyJWT + cryptography are already in the venv (jose was previously
suggested; switched to pyjwt[crypto] since the latter is already
pulled in transitively).
New opt-in plugin that scans the content passed to write_file / patch /
skill_manage for 25 known-dangerous code patterns — pickle.load,
yaml.load, eval(, os.system, subprocess(shell=True), child_process.exec,
dangerouslySetInnerHTML, innerHTML/outerHTML/document.write/
insertAdjacentHTML, crypto.createCipher (no IV), AES ECB,
TLS verification disabled, XXE-prone xml.etree/minidom parsers,
<script src=//...> without SRI, torch.load without weights_only=True,
GitHub Actions ${{ github.event.* }} injection — and appends a
"Security guidance" warning block to the tool result via the
transform_tool_result hook.
Default behaviour is non-blocking: the file is written and the warning
rides back to the model in the next turn so it can self-correct or
document why the construct is safe. SECURITY_GUIDANCE_BLOCK=1 upgrades
to refusing the write entirely; SECURITY_GUIDANCE_DISABLE=1 is the
kill switch.

Plugin is opt-in like all bundled plugins:
hermes plugins enable security-guidance
Inspired by https://x.com/ClaudeDevs/status/1927108527247... — Anthropic
shipped this as their security-guidance plugin for Claude Code on
2026-05-26 with a measured 30-40% reduction in security-related PR
comments on internal rollout.
What's NOT ported (deferred):
* Layer 2 (LLM diff review on turn end) — would route through main
model by default on Hermes, real money on reasoning models. A
follow-up can wire it to a cheap aux model with explicit opt-in.
* Layer 3 (agentic commit-time review) — agent can run this on
demand via delegate_task today.
* .hermes/security-guidance.md project-rules file — only used by
layers 2/3 upstream.
* fix(plugins/discord): correct install_hint extra to [messaging]
The Discord platform registered install_hint pointing at
'hermes-agent[discord]', but pyproject.toml has no [discord] extra —
the deps live in [messaging] alongside Telegram and Slack. Users hitting
"Platform 'Discord' requirements not met" were directed at a pip command
that installs nothing.
* feat(nix): add #messaging and #full package variants
Make Discord/Telegram/Slack work out of the box for `nix profile install`
users. Messaging deps were dropped from [all] on 2026-05-12 in favor of
lazy-install, but lazy-install can't write to the read-only /nix/store —
users hit "No adapter available for discord" with no actionable guidance.
- #messaging: pre-built with discord.py/telegram/slack (+33 MB venv)
- #full: all 18 platform-portable extras + matrix on Linux only
(python-olm lacks Darwin PyPI wheels) (+738 MB venv)
Also adds a `messaging-variant` flake check that verifies `import discord`
succeeds in the sealed venv — regression guard for the lazy-install
migration.
Docs updated: Quick Start callout, extraDependencyGroups rewrite with
messaging as primary example + full extras table, troubleshooting row,
cheatsheet row.
Closure size deltas (measured x86_64-linux):
default 1792 MB pkg / 512 MB venv
messaging 1826 MB pkg / 546 MB venv (+33 MB)
full 2530 MB pkg / 1250 MB venv (+738 MB)
* chore(nix): trim variant comments + alphabetize full extras
Drop the date-stamped changelog from messaging-variant's comment and the
"+33 MB / +704 MB" numbers from the variant defs — those drift and belong
in the PR description, not source. Alphabetize the 18-extra list in #full
so future additions produce clean one-line diffs.
No semantic change. messaging-variant check still passes.
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend
Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI
Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators
(Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should
switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH.
What's removed:
- `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin
- `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper
- `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend
- `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models,
config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump
- `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools,
code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool,
environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder,
cli, gateway/run
- `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client
header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases
- `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock
- env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`,
`VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`,
`TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME`
- Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and
test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23
surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were
dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox)
- Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security
notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans
i18n parity
- `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list
What stays (intentional):
- `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference,
unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product
- `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN
response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint
- `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda
browser project, different OSS effort
- `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel
Sandbox — archive, not active docs
Validation:
- 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`)
- Full repo `py_compile` clean
- Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no
`ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no
`vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`)
* test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant
The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed.
Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship
(registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count.
Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.
Extend PR #31716 to plugin setup paths that were also using bare
getpass.getpass(): hindsight (4 sites), honcho, simplex, line. Same
mechanical swap onto hermes_cli.secret_prompt.masked_secret_prompt.
X Premium+ also grants Grok OAuth access — the 'SuperGrok Subscription'
wording suggested SuperGrok was the only entitlement path. Updated to
'SuperGrok / Premium+' across the picker label, setup wizard, auth flows,
and docs so Premium+ subscribers know the row applies to them too.
xAI's grok-imagine-image API returns ephemeral imgen.x.ai/xai-tmp-* URLs
that 404 within minutes — long before downstream consumers (Telegram
send_photo, browser preview, multi-tier delivery fallback) get a chance
to fetch them. The xAI image_gen provider was passing those URLs
through unchanged on the elif url: branch; b64 responses were already
cached locally via save_b64_image. Result: every image_generate call
on a Telegram-routed xai-oauth profile delivered no image, falling
through to text-only.
Adds agent.image_gen_provider.save_url_image() — a sibling helper to
save_b64_image that downloads URL bytes to $HERMES_HOME/cache/images/.
Content-type-aware extension inference with URL-suffix fallback;
oversize cap (25MB default) with partial-write cleanup; empty-body
refusal. Mirrors the audio_cache pattern used by text_to_speech.
Wires save_url_image into both the xAI and OpenAI providers' URL
branches. When the download fails (network blip, 404 in-flight) we
log a warning and fall back to the bare URL rather than turning the
tool call into a hard error — the gateway's existing URL-send fallback
then gets a chance to surface the original error legibly.
Test plan:
- tests/agent/test_save_url_image.py — 8 direct tests against a real
in-process HTTP server: bytes round-trip, content-type → extension,
URL-suffix fallback, default-to-png, 404 propagation, empty-body
refusal, oversize cap + cleanup, filename uniqueness.
- tests/plugins/image_gen/test_xai_provider.py — flip
test_successful_url_response (was asserting the bug), add
test_url_response_falls_back_to_bare_url_when_download_fails.
- tests/plugins/image_gen/test_openai_provider.py — symmetric pair.
160/160 in the broader image_gen test surface.
Second migration of an existing built-in platform adapter after Discord
(PR #30591) — follows the same shape established by IRC / Teams / LINE /
Google Chat / SimpleX and the playbook in
`references/platform-plugin-migration.md`. Advances the umbrella refactor
in #3823.
Matches Discord's parity bar — adapter under `plugins/platforms/mattermost/`
with the standard `__init__.py` / `adapter.py` / `plugin.yaml` shell,
`register(ctx)` entry point, **no back-compat shim** at the old import
path, and full parity for all five hooks Discord uses plus the
`apply_yaml_config_fn` hook (mattermost is the second consumer of #25443
after Discord):
* `standalone_sender_fn` — out-of-process cron delivery via Mattermost
REST API. Picks up the thread_id + media_files capabilities the
legacy `_send_mattermost` lacked (parity with Discord's `_standalone_send`).
* `setup_fn` — interactive `hermes setup gateway` wizard.
* `apply_yaml_config_fn` — translates `config.yaml` `mattermost:` keys
(`require_mention`, `free_response_channels`, `allowed_channels`) into
`MATTERMOST_*` env vars (replaces the hardcoded block in
`gateway/config.py`).
* `is_connected` — declares connection state from `MATTERMOST_TOKEN` +
`MATTERMOST_URL`.
* `check_fn` — verifies aiohttp is installed and both required env vars
are set.
* plus `allowed_users_env`, `allow_all_env`, `cron_deliver_env_var`,
`max_message_length` (4000 — Mattermost practical limit), `emoji`,
`required_env`, `install_hint`.
Files
-----
* `gateway/platforms/mattermost.py` (873 LOC) →
`plugins/platforms/mattermost/adapter.py` (git rename, R071) +
appended `register()` block, hook helpers, and `_standalone_send`
with media upload + thread_id support.
* New `plugins/platforms/mattermost/{__init__.py, plugin.yaml}` with
`requires_env` / `optional_env` declarations covering MATTERMOST_URL,
MATTERMOST_TOKEN, MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_USERS, MATTERMOST_ALLOW_ALL_USERS,
MATTERMOST_HOME_CHANNEL, MATTERMOST_REPLY_MODE,
MATTERMOST_REQUIRE_MENTION, MATTERMOST_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_CHANNELS.
* `gateway/config.py`: delete 17-LOC `mattermost_cfg` YAML→env bridge
(moved into plugin's `_apply_yaml_config`).
* `gateway/run.py::_create_adapter`: delete `Platform.MATTERMOST elif` —
replaced by the existing generic plugin-registry-first dispatch.
* `tools/send_message_tool.py`: delete `_send_mattermost` (22 LOC) +
`Platform.MATTERMOST elif` in `_send_to_platform` — the `else` branch
already routes plugin platforms through `_send_via_adapter`, which
hits the registry's `standalone_sender_fn`.
* `hermes_cli/setup.py`: delete `_setup_mattermost` (44 LOC) — replaced
by the plugin's `interactive_setup`.
* `hermes_cli/gateway.py`: delete `_PLATFORMS["mattermost"]` dict entry
(3 LOC) — plugin's `setup_fn` is dispatched via the plugin path in
`_configure_platform`.
* Consumer rewrite: 5 test files (test_mattermost.py,
test_media_download_retry.py, test_send_multiple_images.py,
test_stream_consumer.py, test_ws_auth_retry.py) get
`gateway.platforms.mattermost` → `plugins.platforms.mattermost.adapter`
with the bulk-rewrite recipe from the platform-plugin-migration playbook.
Single `mock.patch` string in test_stream_consumer.py also repointed.
* `tests/tools/test_send_message_missing_platforms.py`: thin
`(token, extra, chat_id, message)` compat shim around the plugin's
`_standalone_send(pconfig, …)` so existing test bodies continue to
work without rewriting every signature.
Validation
----------
* Plugin discovery: mattermost registers from `plugins/platforms/mattermost/`

873-LoC base, vs Discord's 5101 LoC base which kept R091).
Closes part of #3823.
Robustness:
- Surface 401/404 stream failures via _set_fatal_error() so the gateway's
runtime status reflects 'fatal: ntfy_unauthorized' / 'ntfy_topic_not_found'
instead of staying 'connected' when the reconnect loop halts. Matches
the pattern in whatsapp / telegram / sms adapters.
- Strip whitespace from auth tokens so pasted tokens with trailing
newlines don't produce malformed Authorization headers.
Simplicity:
- Extract _build_auth_header() and _truncate_body() to module-level
helpers, used by both NtfyAdapter and _standalone_send. Removes the
duplicated auth/truncation logic between the two paths.
Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/ntfy.md — full setup guide,
identity-model warning, self-hosting, cron usage, troubleshooting.
- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md — all 9 NTFY_* vars.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/index.md — platform comparison row.
- website/sidebars.ts — sidebar entry between simplex and open-webui.
Tests: 78/78 (+ 10 new robustness tests covering token hygiene, fatal
error propagation for 401/404, and the _truncate_body helper).
ntfy now ships as a self-contained plugin under plugins/platforms/ntfy/
instead of editing 8 core files (gateway/config.py Platform enum,
gateway/run.py factory + auth maps, cron/scheduler.py, toolsets.py,
hermes_cli/status.py, agent/prompt_builder.py, gateway/channel_directory.py,
tools/send_message_tool.py).
All routing goes through gateway/platform_registry via register_platform():
- adapter_factory, check_fn, validate_config, is_connected
- env_enablement_fn seeds PlatformConfig.extra from NTFY_* env vars so
gateway status reflects env-only setups without instantiating httpx
- standalone_sender_fn handles deliver=ntfy cron jobs when cron runs
out-of-process from the gateway
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env hook into _is_user_authorized
- cron_deliver_env_var=NTFY_HOME_CHANNEL for cron home routing
- platform_hint surfaces in the system prompt
- pii_safe=True (topic names are the only identifier; no PII to redact)
Tests moved to tests/gateway/test_ntfy_plugin.py using _plugin_adapter_loader
so the module lives under plugin_adapter_ntfy in sys.modules and cannot
collide with sibling plugin-adapter tests on the same xdist worker. The
core-file grep tests (Platform.NTFY in source, hermes-ntfy in toolsets,
etc.) are replaced with plugin-shape tests covering register() metadata,
env_enablement_fn output, and standalone_sender_fn behavior.
68 tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.
The Kimi K2 branch added in the prior commit only emitted extra_body.thinking
and dropped reasoning_effort entirely. KimiProfile (api.moonshot.ai/v1) sends
both fields, and OpenCode Go proxies to the same Moonshot backend. Mirror that
shape on the Go path so /reasoning effort actually reaches Kimi.
- low/medium/high pass through verbatim
- xhigh/max clamp to high (Moonshot's max supported value)
- minimal / unknown effort → omit reasoning_effort, keep thinking on
- disabled / no config → unchanged
- DeepSeek branch unchanged
Two bugs surfaced by PR #24356 migrating Discord into the registry:
1. plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py::_is_connected — read DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
via hermes_cli.gateway.get_env_value (the abstraction tests patch) instead
of os.getenv directly. The legacy non-registry path used get_env_value;
bypassing it broke test_setup_openclaw_migration which patches
gateway_mod.get_env_value to simulate a hermetic env.
2. hermes_cli/gateway.py::_platform_status — when entry.is_connected is
defined and returns False, return 'not configured' immediately. Don't
fall back to entry.check_fn(), which would let 'SDK is installed'
override 'no token configured' and incorrectly report the platform as
ready. The fallback to check_fn is the right behaviour only when
is_connected is None (not registered).
Fixes 5 test failures observed on CI for PR #24356:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup.py::test_setup_gateway_skips_service_install_when_systemctl_missing
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup.py::test_setup_gateway_in_container_shows_docker_guidance
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_irc.py::TestIRCGatewaySetupFreshInstall::test_setup_gateway_irc_counts_as_messaging_platform
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_openclaw_migration.py::TestGetSectionConfigSummary::test_gateway_returns_none_without_tokens
- tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_openclaw_migration.py::TestSetupWizardSkipsConfiguredSections::test_sections_skipped_when_migration_imported_settings
Same _platform_status bug exists for sibling plugin platforms (teams,
google_chat) whose check_fn returns true on SDK install alone; their
tests just never exercised the registry path before. The bug only became
test-visible when Discord migrated into the registry.
Validation: 11,167 tests across tests/gateway/ + tests/cron/ +
tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py + tests/hermes_cli/ pass with zero
failures.
First migration of an existing built-in platform adapter to the plugin
system established by IRC / Teams / LINE / Google Chat. Closes#24325;
advances the umbrella refactor in #3823.
Matches Teams' shape exactly — adapter under ``plugins/platforms/discord/``
with the standard ``__init__.py`` / ``adapter.py`` / ``plugin.yaml``
shell, ``register(ctx)`` entry point, **no back-compat shim** at the old
import path, and full parity for the four hooks Teams uses plus the
``apply_yaml_config_fn`` hook that landed in #25443 (the Discord plugin
is the first consumer of that hook):
* ``standalone_sender_fn`` — out-of-process cron delivery via REST API
* ``setup_fn`` — interactive ``hermes setup gateway`` wizard
* ``apply_yaml_config_fn`` — translate ``config.yaml`` ``discord:`` keys
into ``DISCORD_*`` env vars (replaces the hardcoded block in
``gateway/config.py``)
* ``is_connected`` — declares connection state from ``DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN``
* ``check_fn`` — lazy-installs ``discord.py`` on demand
* plus ``allowed_users_env``, ``allow_all_env``, ``cron_deliver_env_var``,
``max_message_length``, ``emoji``, ``required_env``, ``install_hint``
* ``gateway/platforms/discord.py`` (5,101 LOC) →
``plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py`` (git rename, R090).
* New ``plugins/platforms/discord/{__init__.py, plugin.yaml}`` with
``requires_env`` / ``optional_env`` declarations.
* Append ``register(ctx)`` block + new hook implementations
(``_standalone_send``, ``interactive_setup``, ``_apply_yaml_config``,
``_clean_discord_user_ids``, ``_is_connected``, ``_build_adapter``,
plus helpers ``_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE`` etc.) to the
adapter.
* Replace the ``Platform.DISCORD elif`` branch in
``GatewayRunner._create_adapter()`` (−9 LOC) with a generic post-creation
hook (+6 LOC) in the registry path: any plugin adapter that declares a
``gateway_runner`` attribute now gets it auto-injected. Webhook's
built-in branch is unchanged (it doesn't go through the registry path).
* Move ``_send_discord`` (190 LOC) and helpers
(``_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE``, ``_remember_channel_is_forum``,
``_probe_is_forum_cached``, ``_derive_forum_thread_name``) from
``tools/send_message_tool.py`` into the plugin as ``_standalone_send``.
* Wire via ``standalone_sender_fn=_standalone_send`` (Teams pattern; same
gap fixed in #21804 for other plugin platforms).
* Replace the Discord ``elif`` in ``tools/send_message_tool.py``
``_send_to_platform`` with a 10-line registry-hook dispatch.
* Drop the ``DiscordAdapter`` import and the
``Platform.DISCORD: DiscordAdapter.MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH`` ``_MAX_LENGTHS``
entry — the registry's ``max_message_length=2000`` covers it.
* Move ``_setup_discord`` and ``_clean_discord_user_ids`` (68 LOC) from
``hermes_cli/setup.py`` into the plugin as ``interactive_setup``.
* Wire via ``setup_fn=interactive_setup``. CLI helpers (``prompt``,
``print_info``, etc.) are lazy-imported so the plugin's module-load
surface stays minimal.
* Remove ``"discord": _s._setup_discord`` from
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::_builtin_setup_fn``.
* Remove the entire 32-line ``_PLATFORMS["discord"]`` static dict entry —
Discord's setup metadata is now discovered dynamically via
``_all_platforms()`` from the registry entry.
* Move the 59-line ``discord_cfg`` YAML→env bridge from
``gateway/config.py::load_gateway_config()`` into the plugin as
``_apply_yaml_config``. Covers ``require_mention``,
``thread_require_mention``, ``free_response_channels``, ``auto_thread``,
``reactions``, ``ignored_channels``, ``allowed_channels``,
``no_thread_channels``, ``allow_mentions.{everyone,roles,users,
replied_user}``, and ``reply_to_mode`` (including the YAML 1.1
``off``-as-False coercion and the ``extra.reply_to_mode`` fallback).
* Wire via ``apply_yaml_config_fn=_apply_yaml_config``.
* The hook runs BEFORE ``_apply_env_overrides`` and after the generic
shared-key loop, exactly as documented in
``website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md``.
* Behavior is preserved exactly — every assignment still uses
``not os.getenv(...)`` guards so env vars take precedence over YAML.
All 78 references to the old import path are rewritten — no back-compat
shim:
* 51 ``from gateway.platforms.discord import X`` →
``from plugins.platforms.discord.adapter import X``
* 5 ``import gateway.platforms.discord as discord_platform`` →
``import plugins.platforms.discord.adapter as discord_platform``
* 1 ``from gateway.platforms import discord as discord_mod`` →
``from plugins.platforms.discord import adapter as discord_mod``
* 21 ``mock.patch("gateway.platforms.discord.X")`` strings →
``mock.patch("plugins.platforms.discord.adapter.X")``
* 1 docstring reference in ``hermes_cli/commands.py``
* 1 import in ``tools/send_message_tool.py`` (now removed entirely)
The import-safety test in ``tests/gateway/test_discord_imports.py`` is
updated to purge the new canonical module name from ``sys.modules``.
**38 files changed, +621 / −473** — net positive due to the YAML hook
implementation (89 new LOC in the plugin trading for 59 deleted in core),
but every line moved has a clear plugin home now. The git rename is
detected at R090 because the adapter gained ~340 LOC of moved-in hook
implementations (``_standalone_send`` + ``interactive_setup`` +
``_apply_yaml_config`` + helpers).
* All 568 Discord-specific tests pass across 25 ``test_discord_*.py``
files plus voice/send/text-batching/reload-skills/stream-consumer/
integration tests.
* All 147 tests in the YAML-touching subset
(``test_discord_reply_mode``, ``test_discord_free_response``,
``test_discord_allowed_channels``, ``test_discord_allowed_mentions``,
``test_discord_channel_controls``, ``test_discord_reactions``,
``test_discord_thread_persistence``, ``test_runtime_footer``) pass —
this is the strongest signal that the YAML→env hook behaves
identically to the legacy block.
* Broader gateway/cron/integration sweep (1297 tests) introduces zero
new failures vs ``main``. Pre-existing failures in
``tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py`` and
``tests/e2e/test_platform_commands.py`` reproduce identically on the
unchanged ``main`` revision.
* Plugin discovery sanity check confirms Discord registers alongside the
other four platform plugins:
Registered platforms: ['discord', 'google_chat', 'irc', 'line', 'teams']
These Discord-shaped tendrils in core were **deliberately not moved** —
they are generic platform-registry concerns affecting every platform,
not Discord-specific:
* ``gateway/config.py:1205`` ``DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN → config.token`` env
enablement — same shape Telegram has. The existing
``env_enablement_fn`` registry hook only seeds ``extra``, not
``.token``, so it can't replace this without an adapter refactor to
read from ``extra["bot_token"]``.
* ``gateway/run.py`` voice-mode hooks
(``self.adapters.get(Platform.DISCORD)`` for
``start_voice_mode``/``stop_voice_mode``), role-based auth,
``DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS`` branch in ``_is_user_authorized``,
``_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS`` frozenset, and the per-platform
allowlist maps — generic platform-registry concerns.
* ``Platform.DISCORD`` enum literal — stable identifier used as dict
keys throughout the codebase; removing it is a separate refactor with
no real benefit.
* ``tools/discord_tool.py`` and ``tools/environments/local.py`` —
first-class agent tools and env-passthrough config, neither is the
gateway adapter.
Each of these is worth its own scoping issue when the time comes.
Mirrors the architecture established by the web (#25182), browser
(#25214), and video_gen (#25126) plugin migrations:
* `tools/fal_common.py` — stateless atoms shared by both FAL-backed
plugins (image_gen + video_gen). Holds the lazy `fal_client` import
helper, `_ManagedFalSyncClient`, `_normalize_fal_queue_url_format`,
`_extract_http_status`. Stateful pieces (`fal_client` module global,
`_managed_fal_client*` cache, `_submit_fal_request`,
`_resolve_managed_fal_gateway`, `_get_managed_fal_client`)
intentionally stay on `tools.image_generation_tool` so the existing
`monkeypatch.setattr(image_tool, ...)` patch sites keep working
unchanged.
* `plugins/video_gen/fal/__init__.py` — drops its inline
`_load_fal_client` duplicate; consumes `tools.fal_common.import_fal_client`.
* `plugins/image_gen/fal/{plugin.yaml,__init__.py}` — new plugin.
`FalImageGenProvider` is a thin registration adapter that resolves
the legacy module via `import tools.image_generation_tool as _it`
and calls `_it.image_generate_tool` + `_it._resolve_fal_model` at
call time. The 18-model catalog, `_build_fal_payload`, managed-
gateway selection, and Clarity Upscaler chaining all remain in
`tools.image_generation_tool` as the single source of truth —
the plugin is a registration adapter, not a parallel implementation.
* `tools/image_generation_tool.py::_dispatch_to_plugin_provider` —
drops the `configured == "fal"` skip. Setting `image_gen.provider:
fal` now routes through the registry like any other provider; the
plugin re-enters this module's pipeline so behavior is identical.
Unset `image_gen.provider` still falls through to the in-tree
pipeline (preserves no-config-with-FAL_KEY UX from #15696).
* `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` — drops the hardcoded "FAL.ai" row from
`TOOL_CATEGORIES["image_gen"]["providers"]` (now injected by
`_plugin_image_gen_providers` like every other backend) and the
`getattr(provider, "name") == "fal"` skip that protected against
duplication with the hardcoded row. The "Nous Subscription" row
stays as a setup-flow entry — same shape browser kept "Nous
Subscription (Browser Use cloud)" after #25214.
* `tests/plugins/image_gen/test_fal_provider.py` — 14 cases covering
the ABC surface, call-time indirection (verifying
`monkeypatch.setattr(image_tool, "image_generate_tool", ...)` takes
effect through the plugin), response-shape stamping, exception
handling, and registry wiring.
* `tests/plugins/image_gen/check_parity_vs_main.py` — subprocess
harness mirroring `tests/plugins/browser/check_parity_vs_main.py`.
Pins one path to origin/main, one to the worktree; runs six
scenarios (unset, explicit-fal-no-creds, explicit-fal-with-creds,
explicit-fal-with-model, typo provider, managed-gateway-only) and
diffs the reduced shape `{dispatch_kind, provider_name, model}`
per scenario. The only acceptable diff is "legacy_fal → plugin
(fal)" for explicit-FAL paths — every other delta is flagged as
a regression.
* `tests/hermes_cli/test_image_gen_picker.py::test_fal_surfaced_alongside_other_plugins`
— flips the previous `test_fal_skipped_to_avoid_duplicate` to
match the new shape (FAL is a plugin now, no dedup needed).
Verified: 195/195 tests across
`tests/{tools/test_image_generation*,tools/test_managed_media_gateways,plugins/image_gen,plugins/video_gen,hermes_cli/test_image_gen_picker}.py`
pass on this branch with no test patches modified outside the picker
test that asserted the old skip behaviour.
Fixes#26241
_tool_remember and on_memory_write were posting memories as session
messages that depend on commit-time VLM extraction to persist. With
extraction_enabled: false (no VLM configured), the extraction pipeline
never processes these messages, causing memories to be silently lost.
Replace both paths with direct POST to /api/v1/content/write?mode=create,
which creates the file, stores the content, and queues vector indexing
in a single API call. Error reporting is immediate — no silent failures.

* feat(web): migrate dashboard checkboxes to @nous-research/ui + DS polish
Replaces the hand-rolled shadcn-style `Checkbox` in `web/src/components/ui/`
with the Nous DS `Checkbox` (Radix-backed) from `@nous-research/ui`, bumps
the DS to 0.14.2, and picks up two regressions surfaced by the bump.
Checkbox migration
- bump `@nous-research/ui` 0.14.0 → ^0.14.2 and remove
`web/src/components/ui/checkbox.tsx`
- migrate `ProfilesPage` and `ModelPickerDialog` to the DS Checkbox API
(`onCheckedChange`, paired `<Label htmlFor>`)
- expose `Checkbox` on the dashboard plugin SDK
(`web/src/plugins/registry.ts`) so plugin bundles can use the same
DS component
- migrate the kanban dashboard plugin's 7 native `<input type="checkbox">`
call sites to the SDK `Checkbox`, with a native-input fallback shim so
the bundle still renders against older hosts that predate the SDK export
Fix: missing font registrations after the 0.14.x split
- import `@nous-research/ui/styles/fonts.css` before `globals.css` in
`web/src/index.css`. As of 0.14.x, `globals.css` only declares the
`--font-*` variables (Collapse, Mondwest, Rules Compressed/Expanded);
the `@font-face` registrations now live in a separate `fonts.css`, so
without this import the DS components silently fall back to a system
font stack and look unstyled.
Fix: right-align page header toolbars on sm+ viewports
- The mobile dashboard polish in #28127 flipped four pages'
`setEnd(...)` wrappers from `justify-end` to `w-full ... justify-start`
so toolbars stack below the title and align left on small screens.
But the outer `end` slot in `PageHeaderProvider` already has
`sm:justify-end`, and that has no effect when its only child is
`w-full` — once a flex child fills the row, the parent's `justify-*`
can't move it. The toolbar pinned to the *left* of the right-side
`sm:max-w-md` (~448px) slot, making the buttons appear to float a
couple-hundred pixels off the right edge on Analytics, Models, Logs,
and Plugins.
- Re-add `sm:justify-end` on the inner wrapper of each affected page,
preserving the mobile stacked layout.

Adds a new bundled web search provider plugin backed by xAI's agentic
Web Search tool (server-side `web_search` on the Responses API). Slots
in alongside the existing Firecrawl / Tavily / Exa / Brave / SearXNG /
DDGS providers; opt in via `web.backend: xai` (or auto-selected by the
registry's single-provider shortcut when it's the only available web
provider, matching every other backend's behavior).
Reuses the existing xAI HTTP credential plumbing (`tools/xai_http.py`)
so it works with both `hermes auth login xai-oauth` (SuperGrok OAuth)
and `XAI_API_KEY` — no new credential paths, no new env vars, no new
setup-wizard prompts. The existing `xai_grok` post_setup hook handles
credential collection.
Reference: https://docs.x.ai/developers/tools/web-search
Provider behavior
-----------------
- Sends a structured prompt to Grok with `tools=[{"type": "web_search"}]`
enabled and `include=["no_inline_citations"]`, then parses results
from a `{"results": [...]}` JSON block (primary), falling back to
`url_citation` annotations (secondary) and the top-level `citations`
list (last-ditch). Annotation fallback falls through to citations
when no rows are extractable, so future annotation types xAI may
add don't silently mask real data.
- HTTP 200 + `{"error": {...}}` envelopes (model-overload, refusal)
are surfaced as failures rather than masked as success-with-empty-
results.
- HTTP 401 on the OAuth path triggers a single `force_refresh=True`
retry — closes two gaps the resolver's proactive JWT-exp shortcut
doesn't cover: opaque (non-JWT) access tokens and mid-window
revocation. Env-var (`XAI_API_KEY`) credentials never retry; they
can't be refreshed and an immediate retry would just burn quota.
- `is_available()` is a cheap probe (env var OR auth.json read), never
invokes the OAuth resolver — required by the ABC contract because
it runs on every `hermes tools` repaint and at tool-registration time.
- Class docstring documents the LLM-in-a-trench-coat trust model so
callers piping untrusted input into `web_search` know returned URLs
are model-generated and should be validated before fetching.
Config (`config.yaml`):
web:
backend: xai
xai:
model: grok-4.3 # optional, defaults to grok-4.3
allowed_domains: # optional, max 5 — mutex with excluded_domains

Four kanban dashboard test failures, all from PR salvages that picked up
the test additions but dropped the corresponding implementations.
- BOARD_COLUMNS: add 'review' (status added by PR f55d94a1e but the
board API never grew the column → test_board_empty failed because
VALID_STATUSES - {archived} mismatched the rendered columns).
- update_task: enrich the 'ready' 409 detail with the blocking parent
list (id, title, status) and add _parents_blocking_ready helper.
Implementation lost in the #26744 salvage (commit e215558ba) which
pinned the test but not the server-side code.
- dist/index.js: add parseApiErrorMessage helper, wire it through the
drag/drop banner, add patchErr state to the TaskDrawer and surface
it inline by the action row. Lost in the same #26744 salvage.
- test_diagnostics_endpoint_severity_filter: update to at-or-above
semantics (PR a94ddd807 changed the filter from exact-match so the
warning filter now correctly includes error+critical too).
Salvages #28125 by @Jpalmer95. Adds:
- Drag-to-delete trash zone in the kanban dashboard
- Bulk delete endpoint with cascading delete_task cleanup
- Frontend updates (drag visual + drop handler)
- Confirmation prompt before delete
Resolved end-of-file test conflict by appending both halves.
Salvages #24533 by @roycepersonalassistant. Adds a first-class
'scheduled' Kanban status for time-delay follow-ups that aren't
waiting on human input.
- hermes kanban schedule <task_id> [reason] CLI command
- Dashboard/API transitions to/from Scheduled
- unblock_task() now releases both 'blocked' AND 'scheduled' tasks
(re-checking parent dependencies before moving to ready/todo)
- i18n + docs updates
Resolved conflicts: kept HEAD's failure-counter reset on unblock
alongside the PR's scheduled state, kept HEAD's 'running' direct-set
rejection, combined both bulk-status branches. Dropped the dist/
bundle changes (months-stale; would need rebuild from source).
Salvages #26745 by @nehaaprasaad. Exposes filtering for the existing
workflow_template_id and current_step_key columns:
- list_tasks() accepts workflow_template_id and current_step_key kwargs
- 'hermes kanban list' adds matching CLI flags
- dashboard plugin_api also exposes the filters
Resolved a small conflict in list_tasks signature alongside main's
session_id and order_by additions; combined all three into the single
filter list.
Adds three read-only endpoints to the kanban dashboard plugin so the
SwitchUI workspace (and any other dashboard consumer) can track
workers across tasks without N+1 round-trips through /tasks/{task_id}.
- GET /workers/active
Single SQL JOIN of task_runs + tasks where ended_at IS NULL,
worker_pid IS NOT NULL, status='running'. Returns
{workers: [...], count, checked_at}.
- GET /runs/{run_id}
Direct lookup of any task_run row by id. Reuses existing
kanban_db.get_run() helper and _run_dict() serialiser. 404 when
not found. Mirrors GET /tasks/{task_id} 404 shape.
- GET /runs/{run_id}/inspect
Live PID stats via psutil.Process.as_dict() — cpu_percent,
memory_rss_bytes, memory_vms_bytes, num_threads, num_fds, status,
create_time, cmdline. Short-circuits with alive:false when run
has ended, has no worker_pid, the pid is gone, or psutil is
unavailable. AccessDenied surfaces as alive:true with error
rather than a 500.
11 new tests in tests/plugins/test_kanban_worker_runs.py cover the
empty-board case, running-task case, ended-run filtering,
missing-pid filtering, 404 paths, already-ended inspect, no-pid
inspect, dead-pid inspect, and live-pid inspect (psutil mocked).
All pass.
Companion termination endpoint (POST /runs/{run_id}/terminate) is
intentionally out of scope here — opening a separate issue first
since the RBAC and dispatcher-mediated soft-cancel design needs
maintainer input before code.

Salvages #26431 by @LeonSGP43. Dashboard plugin_api list_diagnostics
was using exact-match (severity == filter), so '--severity warning'
hid 'error' and 'critical' diagnostics. Adds severity_at_or_above()
helper to kanban_diagnostics and uses it in the dashboard endpoint
(CLI already used SEVERITY_ORDER comparison correctly).
Salvages #24050 by @kronexoi. The single-task PATCH already rejects
direct status='running' since it bypasses the dispatcher/claim invariant,
but the bulk-update endpoint still accepted it. Aligns bulk with single
by emitting an error result row for any 'running' entry.
The checkbox label echoed its state ("Auto (default)" / "Manual") instead
of describing the action, so a checked box reading "Auto" parsed as a
status indicator rather than a control. The accompanying sub-description
was also static and started with "When on, ...", which read awkwardly
when the box was unchecked.
Replace the dynamic label with a static action label
("Auto-decompose triage tasks") and flip the sub-description between the
two modes so it stays accurate either way. The top-of-page Orchestration
pill is unchanged — that one is intentionally a status badge / toggle.
Fixes#28178

When the kanban auto-decomposer fans a triage task into child tasks,
recompute_ready() immediately promotes parent-free children to 'ready'
so the dispatcher picks them up. Some users want a manual workflow
where children stay in 'todo' for review before dispatch.
Add 'kanban.auto_promote_children' config key (default: true):
- false: children stay in 'todo' after decomposition
- true: existing behavior (auto-promote to 'ready')
Changes:
- kanban_db.py: decompose_triage_task() gains auto_promote param
- kanban_decompose.py: reads auto_promote_children from config
- kanban dashboard API: exposes the new setting in GET/PUT /orchestration
Closes#28016
Switch .hermes-kanban-columns from auto-fit CSS grid to a flex row with
overflow-x: auto and a hidden scrollbar (scrollbar-width / ::-webkit-
scrollbar), and pin .hermes-kanban-column to flex: 0 0 280px so columns
sit side-by-side at a fixed width instead of wrapping into a 2xN grid.
Page vertical scroll is unaffected: each column already caps at
max-height: calc(100vh - 220px), so the container never grows tall
enough to introduce its own vertical scrollbar.
The dashboard SDK's <Select> is a shadcn-style popup that fires
onValueChange(value), not native onChange({target:{value}}). The file
even has a selectChangeHandler() helper at L213 documenting this:
"Older plugin code calls onChange({target:{value}}) which silently
never fires."
#24547 already fixed the bulk-reassign, workspace-kind, and new-task
parent selects. This patch covers the two OrchestrationPanel selects
introduced later in #27572 that regressed onto the same broken pattern:
- OrchestrationPanel orchestrator_profile picker
- OrchestrationPanel default_assignee picker
Users opened the popup, picked an option, and the popup closed without
firing a PUT to /orchestration — so the orchestrator profile and
default assignee dropdowns appeared totally inert.
Uses the same selectChangeHandler helper as the other working Selects
in the file for consistency.
Reported by Exaario.
SDK Select fires onValueChange(value) not onChange({target:{value}}), so
all three bare onChange handlers silently received undefined from e.target.
Replace raw onChange with selectChangeHandler() — the existing helper that
wires both onValueChange and a guarded onChange — so selections register
regardless of which event the SDK Select dispatches.
Closes#24520

Adds a 'triage_aux_unavailable' diagnostic for tasks stuck in triage when
neither the active aux helper slot nor the main-model auto fallback is usable.
Auto-decompose aware:
- kanban.auto_decompose=True (default): primary is auxiliary.kanban_decomposer,
triage_specifier is the fanout=false fallback.
- kanban.auto_decompose=False: primary is auxiliary.triage_specifier (manual
'hermes kanban specify' path).
Default aux slots use 'provider: auto' which falls back to the main model, so
this rule only fires when both the explicit slot config AND the main-model
auto fallback are absent. Quiet by default; informative when there is a real
config gap.
Also adds kd.config_from_runtime_config() that carries kanban + auxiliary +
model keys through to diagnostics, and updates CLI/dashboard call sites to
use it. config_from_kanban_config() is preserved for back-compat.
Reworks the original PR #25640 idea (@qWaitCrypto) to align with the new
auto-decompose dispatcher path landed in #27572. The original PR pointed only
at auxiliary.triage_specifier, which is now the fallback rather than the
primary helper.

* feat(kanban): orchestrator-driven auto-decomposition on triage
Closes the core gap in the kanban system: dropping a one-liner into Triage
now decomposes it into a graph of child tasks routed to specialist
profiles by description, matching teknium's original vision ("main
orchestrator splits/creates actual tasks, doles them out to each agent").
The build
---------
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: new `description` + `description_auto` fields
on ProfileInfo, persisted in <profile_dir>/profile.yaml. Helpers
read_profile_meta / write_profile_meta. `create_profile` accepts
optional description.
- hermes_cli/profile_describer.py: new module — auto-generate a 1-2
sentence description from a profile's skills + model + name via the
auxiliary LLM (`auxiliary.profile_describer`).
- hermes_cli/main.py: new `hermes profile create --description ...`
flag; new `hermes profile describe [name] [--text ... | --auto |
--all --auto]` subcommand.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: new `decompose_triage_task` atomic helper —
creates N child tasks, links the root as a child of every leaf
(root waits for the whole graph), flips root `triage -> todo` with
orchestrator assignee, records an audit comment + `decomposed` event
in a single write_txn.
- hermes_cli/kanban_decompose.py: new module — calls the auxiliary LLM
(`auxiliary.kanban_decomposer`) with the profile roster + descriptions
to produce a JSON task graph, then invokes the DB helper. Rewrites
unknown assignees to the configured `kanban.default_assignee` (or
the active default profile) so a task NEVER lands with assignee=None.
Falls back to specify-style single-task promotion when the LLM
returns `fanout: false`.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: new `hermes kanban decompose [task_id | --all]`
CLI verb.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new DEFAULT_CONFIG keys —
kanban.orchestrator_profile, kanban.default_assignee,
kanban.auto_decompose (default True), kanban.auto_decompose_per_tick
(default 3), auxiliary.kanban_decomposer, auxiliary.profile_describer.
- gateway/run.py: kanban dispatcher watcher now runs auto-decompose
before each `_tick_once`, capped by `auto_decompose_per_tick` so a
bulk-load of triage tasks doesn't burst-spend the aux LLM.
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py: new endpoints —
GET /profiles (list roster + descriptions),
PATCH /profiles/<name> (set description, user-authored),
POST /profiles/<name>/describe-auto (LLM-generate),
POST /tasks/<id>/decompose (run decomposer),
GET/PUT /orchestration (orchestrator/default-assignee/auto-decompose
pickers, with resolved fallbacks echoed back).
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: new OrchestrationPanel
collapsible — dropdowns for orchestrator profile and default
assignee, auto-decompose toggle, per-profile description editor with
Save and Auto-generate buttons. New ⚗ Decompose button next to
✨ Specify on triage-column task drawers.
Behavior
--------
- A task in Triage gets fanned out into a small DAG of child tasks.
Children with no internal parents flip to `ready` immediately
(parallel dispatch). Children with sibling parents wait. The root
stays alive as a parent of every child — when the whole graph
finishes, it promotes to `ready` and the orchestrator profile wakes
back up to judge completion (the "adds more tasks until done" part
of the original vision).
- `kanban.orchestrator_profile` unset -> falls back to the default
profile (whichever `hermes` launches with no -p flag).
- `kanban.default_assignee` unset -> same fallback. Tasks NEVER end
up unassigned.
- `kanban.auto_decompose=true` (default) runs the decomposer
automatically on dispatcher ticks; manual `hermes kanban decompose`
is always available.
Tests
-----
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose_db.py — 7 tests for the
atomic DB helper (status transitions, dep graph, audit trail,
validation errors).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose.py — 6 tests for the
decomposer module (fanout, no-fanout fallback, unknown-assignee
rewrite, malformed-JSON resilience, no-aux-client path).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_describer.py — 10 tests for
profile.yaml r/w + the LLM auto-describer (yaml corrupt tolerance,
user-vs-auto description protection, --overwrite, fallback parsing).
E2E
---
- CLI end-to-end: created profiles with descriptions, dropped a triage
task, mocked the aux LLM with a 3-task graph -> verified all three
children were created with the right assignees, the dependency
edges matched the LLM's graph, root flipped to todo gated by every
child, audit comment + `decomposed` event recorded.
- Dashboard end-to-end: started the dashboard against an isolated
HERMES_HOME, verified all four new endpoints via curl (profile
listing, PATCH for description, PUT for orchestration settings,
POST for decompose). Opened the UI in the browser, confirmed the
OrchestrationPanel renders with all three pickers + the per-profile
description editor, typed a description, clicked Save, verified
~/.hermes/profile.yaml was written. Clicked Decompose on the triage
card and confirmed the inline error message surfaced as designed
("no auxiliary client configured").
* feat(kanban): surface decompose mode (Auto/Manual) as a one-click pill
The auto/manual toggle already existed as kanban.auto_decompose (default
true), but it was buried inside the collapsed Orchestration settings
panel — users couldn't tell at a glance which mode they were in. This
hoists it to a pill at the top of the kanban page so the state is always
visible and one click flips it.
UX
- New "⚗ Decompose: AUTO|MANUAL" pill in the kanban header. Emerald
styling when Auto is on (the default), muted/gray when Manual.
- Pill is visible both in the collapsed AND expanded Orchestration
settings views so context is preserved when the user opens the panel.
- Tooltip explains both states + what clicking does.
- Renamed the in-panel "Auto-decompose on triage / Enabled" checkbox
to "Decompose mode / Auto (default) | Manual" for language parity
with the pill.
Behavior preserved
- Default remains Auto (kanban.auto_decompose=true).
- Manual mode restores pre-PR behavior: triage tasks stay in triage
until the user clicks ⚗ Decompose on each card (or runs
`hermes kanban decompose <id>`).
Implementation
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: load /orchestration on mount
(not just on expand) so the collapsed pill reflects real state.
Render mode pill in both collapsed and expanded headers. Reuses the
existing PUT /api/plugins/kanban/orchestration endpoint — no new
backend, no new tests required.
E2E verified
- Pill renders as "⚗ Decompose: AUTO" on page load (default).
- One click flips to "⚗ Decompose: MANUAL" with muted styling.
- config.yaml on disk shows auto_decompose: false after the flip.
- Second click round-trips back to Auto; config.yaml flips to true.
* feat(kanban): rename mode pill to "Orchestration: Auto/Manual"
Per Teknium feedback — "Decompose" was too implementation-specific.
"Orchestration" is the user-facing concept (the whole pitch is the
orchestrator profile routing work), and the pill is the front door to it.
- Pill text: "Orchestration: Auto" / "Orchestration: Manual" (title case,
no ⚗ prefix, no SHOUTY-CAPS for the mode value)
- In-panel checkbox label: "Orchestration mode" (was "Decompose mode")
- Tooltips updated to match
- No behavior change
* docs(kanban): document decompose, profile descriptions, orchestration mode
Brings the docs site up to parity with the PR. English build verified
locally (npx docusaurus build --locale en) — clean, no new broken links
or anchors. Pre-existing broken-link warnings (rl-training, llms.txt,
step-by-step-checklist, fallback-model) untouched.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md
+ `hermes kanban decompose` action row in the action table, with
pointer to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md
+ `--description "<text>"` flag on `hermes profile create`.
+ Full `hermes profile describe` section: read, --text, --auto,
--overwrite, --all flags with examples.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md (the big one)
+ Triage column intro rewritten around the Auto-decompose default
behavior, with pointer to the new Auto vs Manual section.
+ Status action row updated to mention both ⚗ Decompose and
✨ Specify on triage cards.
+ New "Auto vs Manual orchestration" section explaining the two
modes, how to flip them (pill, config), how routing-by-description
works, the no-None-assignee guarantee, plus a config knob table
(auto_decompose, auto_decompose_per_tick, orchestrator_profile,
default_assignee) and the two new auxiliary slots
(kanban_decomposer, profile_describer).
+ REST surface table gains 6 new endpoint rows: /tasks/:id/decompose,
/profiles (GET), /profiles/:name (PATCH), /profiles/:name/describe-auto,
/orchestration (GET + PUT).
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-tutorial.md
+ Triage column blurb updated for Auto by default + Manual via the
pill, with cross-link to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md
+ Blank-profile flow now mentions --description and points to the
kanban routing model for context.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md
+ `kanban_decomposer` and `profile_describer` added to the
`hermes model -> Configure auxiliary models` menu listing.
PR #25580 was authored before #2746 landed on main, so its plugin
versions of browser_use/browserbase/firecrawl ship without the
requests.RequestException → RuntimeError wrapping that 13c72fb4 added
to the legacy tools/browser_providers/ files for #2746. Cherry-picking
the PR + git rm'ing the legacy files (the migration's intent) would
silently revert that network-error fix.
Port the same try/except pattern into the three plugin create_session()
methods. Browser Use managed-mode keeps its raw-exception propagation
(idempotency-key retry semantics).

Addresses findings from two self-review passes pre-merge.
First pass (3-agent parallel review):
1. plugins/browser/browser_use/provider.py: drop the
``_ = managed_nous_tools_enabled`` dead-import-hider in
_get_config_or_none(). The import was actively misleading — the
helper IS used in _get_config() (separate method, separate import),
not here. The "keep static analysis happy" comment was wrong about
what the helper does in this scope.
2. agent/browser_provider.py: drop ``pragma: no cover`` from
is_configured() / provider_name() backward-compat aliases. They ARE
covered by ``TestLegacyAbcAliases`` — the pragma would have masked
future regressions.
3. tools/browser_tool.py: refactor _is_legacy_provider_registry_overridden()
to compare against a module-frozen _DEFAULT_PROVIDER_REGISTRY snapshot
instead of hardcoded set of 3 keys. Future maintainers adding a 4th
built-in provider now just extend _PROVIDER_REGISTRY; the override
detection adapts automatically. Previously the hardcoded
``set(...) != {"browserbase", "browser-use", "firecrawl"}`` would flip
True forever on any 4-key registry, silently routing every install
onto the legacy fixture path.
4. tools/browser_tool.py: when explicit ``browser.cloud_provider`` is set
but the registry has no matching plugin (typo, uninstalled plugin,
discovery failure), emit a WARNING with actionable text instead of
silently falling through to auto-detect. Legacy code surfaced a typed
credentials error via direct class instantiation; this log restores
the signal in the post-migration path.
5. agent/browser_registry.py: trim the triple-redundant _LEGACY_PREFERENCE
documentation. Module docstring + 13-line block-comment + 5-line
inline comment was repeating the same point. Kept the docstring and
trimmed the block-comment to 5 lines.
6. agent/browser_registry.py: upgrade is_available()-raised logging from
DEBUG to WARNING with exc_info=True. A provider's availability check
throwing is unusual enough that users debugging "no cloud provider"
need the traceback in logs.
7. tests/plugins/browser/check_parity_vs_main.py: drop dead top-level
imports (os, shutil, tempfile — only referenced inside the
SUBPROCESS_SCRIPT string literal that runs in a child process).
Second pass (architecture + claim-verification review):
8. tools/browser_tool.py: rewrite the inline comment in _get_cloud_provider
auto-detect branch. Prior text claimed it "routes through the plugin
registry's legacy preference walk so third-party plugins still get a
chance to be selected when they're explicitly configured" — false on
both counts. The branch uses module-level legacy class aliases
(BrowserUseProvider / BrowserbaseProvider) directly; third-party
plugins are intentionally reachable only via explicit
``browser.cloud_provider``. Corrected comment now matches behaviour
and cross-references _LEGACY_PREFERENCE for the firecrawl gate
rationale.
9. tools/browser_tool.py + tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py:
drop the unused ``get_active_browser_provider as
_registry_get_active_browser_provider`` alias from the
``from agent.browser_registry import ...`` block. It was never
referenced; matching test-stub line in the agent.browser_registry
SimpleNamespace also dropped. ``get_provider`` is still imported (used
by the explicit-config dispatch path at line 535).
10. plugins/browser/firecrawl/provider.py: align emergency_cleanup()
with the early-guard pattern used in browserbase + browser_use
plugins. Previously firecrawl tried the DELETE and relied on
``_headers()`` raising ValueError to trip a "missing credentials"
warning; same final outcome but a different control flow that read
like a bug to a maintainer skimming the three modules. Now: if
is_available() is False, log+return early — identical shape to the
other two providers.
Verification: 54/54 unit tests + 13/13 parity scenarios still pass.
Migrates the remaining two cloud browser providers to plugins:
plugins/browser/browser_use/ — dual auth (direct BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
or managed Nous gateway), idempotency-
key handling for retried managed-mode
creates, x-external-call-id capture.
plugins/browser/firecrawl/ — direct FIRECRAWL_API_KEY only;
distinct from plugins/web/firecrawl/
(same key, different endpoint).
Also drops the 'single-eligible shortcut' rule from
agent.browser_registry._resolve(). Was a copy-paste from
web_search_registry that would have introduced a real behavior change:
a user with only FIRECRAWL_API_KEY set (for web-extract) would silently
get routed to a paid Firecrawl cloud browser on a fresh install — not
matching origin/main, which only auto-detected between Browser Use and
Browserbase. Third-party browser plugins are subject to the same gate:
they require explicit `browser.cloud_provider` to take effect.
Verified end-to-end via plugin discovery:
- 3 plugins register (browser-use, browserbase, firecrawl)
- _resolve(None) with no creds: None (local mode)
- _resolve(None) with only FIRECRAWL_API_KEY: None (matches main)
- _resolve('firecrawl'): firecrawl (explicit wins)
- _resolve(None) with BU+firecrawl: browser-use (legacy walk first hit)
- _resolve(None) with all three: browser-use (legacy walk order)
Migrates tools/browser_providers/browserbase.py → plugins/browser/browserbase/.
Direct credentials only (BROWSERBASE_API_KEY + BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID); same
session-creation, 402-handling, and feature-flag logic as the legacy
implementation. Renames is_configured() → is_available() to match the new
BrowserProvider ABC.
The legacy module tools/browser_providers/browserbase.py is NOT yet deleted
and tools/browser_tool.py still references the in-tree class. The dispatcher
cutover happens in a later commit so the plugin migration and the dispatcher
switch land as separate reviewable units.
Verified via plugin-discovery E2E:
- browserbase registers as 'browserbase'
- is_available() correctly tracks BROWSERBASE_API_KEY + BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID
- _resolve('browserbase') returns the provider even when unavailable
(so dispatcher surfaces a typed credentials error)
- _resolve(None) returns the provider when it's the single eligible one
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical `x in (...)` → `x in {...}` fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- `ruff check` clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).
_LineClient's five aiohttp.ClientSession() calls omit trust_env=True,
silently bypassing HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY / ALL_PROXY. Result: every
LINE API call (reply, push, loading, fetch_content, get_bot_user_id)
ignores the system proxy.
Fix: add trust_env=True to all five session constructions. Symmetric
with the wecom and weixin adapters which already set this flag. No
behavior change for users not behind a proxy.
aiohttp.ClientSession defaults to trust_env=False, which silently ignores
HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and ALL_PROXY environment variables. Users behind
a corporate or network proxy cannot reach external APIs on any of these
platforms — all outbound requests fail with connection errors.
Symmetric with wecom.py (line 276), weixin.py (lines 1055/1268/1274), and
matrix.py (no-proxy path) which already set this flag. Complements the
open LINE fix (#26635) with the remaining gateway and plugin adapters.
Changed:
- gateway/platforms/sms.py: persistent Twilio session (connect) + fallback
session (send) — both hit https://api.twilio.com
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: ephemeral response_url POST session —
hits https://hooks.slack.com/... callback URLs
- plugins/platforms/teams/adapter.py: standalone send session —
hits login.microsoftonline.com (token) + Bot Framework service URL
- plugins/platforms/google_chat/adapter.py: standalone send session —
hits https://chat.googleapis.com/v1/...
WhatsApp sessions are excluded: they connect to http://127.0.0.1:{port}
(local bridge) and must not be routed through a system proxy.
Closes#26924 (and supersedes #26926) in spirit.
DeepSeek was missing `default_aux_model` on its `ProviderProfile`, so
`_get_aux_model_for_provider("deepseek")` returned an empty string and
the compression / vision / session-search paths emitted
"No auxiliary LLM provider configured -- context compression will
drop middle turns without a summary."
on every DeepSeek session, even when the user had perfectly working
DeepSeek credentials.
Fix lands at the profile layer rather than the legacy
`_API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS_FALLBACK` dict the original PR targeted.
Every modern provider (gemini, zai, minimax, anthropic, kimi-coding,
stepfun, ollama-cloud, gmi, novita, kilocode, ai-gateway, opencode-zen)
sets `default_aux_model` on its `ProviderProfile`; the fallback dict
only exists for providers that predate the profiles system.
Tests added under `tests/plugins/model_providers/test_deepseek_profile.py`:
- `test_profile_advertises_deepseek_chat` -- pins the profile attribute
- `test_consumer_api_returns_deepseek_chat` -- pins the consumer API behavior
- `test_consumer_api_returns_non_empty` -- regression guard for the
symptom in the issue
Original diagnosis and aux-model choice from @kriscolab in PR #26926;

The langfuse plugin is hooks-only (no toolsets), so it never appears in
`hermes tools` — that menu iterates `_get_effective_configurable_toolsets()`
(= `CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS` + plugin-registered toolsets), and "langfuse"
is in neither. The `TOOL_CATEGORIES["langfuse"]` setup wizard (with its
`post_setup: "langfuse"` hook that pip-installs the SDK and writes
`plugins.enabled`) was reachable only when a toolset key "langfuse" got
enabled, which can't happen — so it's been dead code, and the docs that
promised "Setup (interactive): hermes tools → Langfuse Observability"
were silently broken.
Right home for that wizard is `hermes plugins` (e.g. auto-running a
plugin's post-setup hook on enable), which is a generic plugin-setup
mechanism worth designing properly rather than shoehorning langfuse
back into `hermes tools`. Until that exists, point users at the
working manual flow.
Code:
- Delete `TOOL_CATEGORIES["langfuse"]` (24 lines) — unreachable.
- Delete the `post_setup_key == "langfuse"` branch in `_run_post_setup`
(29 lines) — only caller was the deleted TOOL_CATEGORIES entry.
Docs / comments (point at the manual flow + interactive `hermes plugins`):
- `plugins/observability/langfuse/README.md`: collapse the two-option
setup section to the single working flow.
- `plugins/observability/langfuse/plugin.yaml`: update `description`.
- `plugins/observability/langfuse/__init__.py`: update module docstring.
- `hermes_cli/config.py`: update inline comment above the LANGFUSE_*
env-var allow-list.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md`: collapse
"Setup (interactive)" + "Setup (manual)" into one accurate block.
- `website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md`: update the
cross-reference in the Langfuse env-vars section.

Ready column help and fallbacks now describe dependency-ready work; show a

The cherry-picked PR #15251 from @tw2818 correctly identified the
DeepSeek 400 root cause but placed the fix in the legacy fallback path
of `build_kwargs`, which DeepSeek never reaches — DeepSeek has a
registered ProviderProfile and goes through `_build_kwargs_from_profile`
instead. The legacy-path block was therefore dead code.
This commit pivots the fix to where it actually fires:
- New `DeepSeekProfile` in `plugins/model-providers/deepseek/__init__.py`
overrides `build_api_kwargs_extras` to emit DeepSeek's expected wire
format (mirrors `KimiProfile`):
{"reasoning_effort": "<low|medium|high|max>",
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "enabled" | "disabled"}}}
- Model gating: only `deepseek-v4-*` and `deepseek-reasoner` emit
thinking control. `deepseek-chat` (V3) is untouched — current behavior.
- Effort mapping: low/medium/high passthrough, xhigh/max → max, unset →
omitted (DeepSeek server applies its own default).
- Revert the legacy-path additions from PR #15251 — they were dead code,
and the `_copy_reasoning_content_for_api` strip block specifically
would have nullified the existing reasoning_content padding machinery
(`_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning` → space-pad on replay) that the
active provider already relies on for replay correctness.
- Unit tests pin the wire-shape contract and the model gating rules
(26 tests, all passing). Existing transport + provider profile suites
(321 tests) continue to pass.

Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under

tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

Adds a new authentication provider that lets SuperGrok subscribers sign
in to Hermes with their xAI account via the standard OAuth 2.0 PKCE
loopback flow, instead of pasting a raw API key from console.x.ai.
Highlights
----------
* OAuth 2.0 PKCE loopback login against accounts.x.ai with discovery,
state/nonce, and a strict CORS-origin allowlist on the callback.
* Authorize URL carries `plan=generic` (required for non-allowlisted
loopback clients) and `referrer=hermes-agent` for best-effort
attribution in xAI's OAuth server logs.
* Token storage in `auth.json` with file-locked atomic writes; JWT
`exp`-based expiry detection with skew; refresh-token rotation
synced both ways between the singleton store and the credential
pool so multi-process / multi-profile setups don't tear each other's
refresh tokens.
* Reactive 401 retry: on a 401 from the xAI Responses API, the agent
refreshes the token, swaps it back into `self.api_key`, and retries
the call once. Guarded against silent account swaps when the active
key was sourced from a different (manual) pool entry.
* Auxiliary tasks (curator, vision, embeddings, etc.) route through a
dedicated xAI Responses-mode auxiliary client instead of falling back
to OpenRouter billing.
* Direct HTTP tools (`tools/xai_http.py`, transcription, TTS, image-gen
plugin) resolve credentials through a unified runtime → singleton →
env-var fallback chain so xai-oauth users get them for free.
* `hermes auth add xai-oauth` and `hermes auth remove xai-oauth N` are
wired through the standard auth-commands surface; remove cleans up
the singleton loopback_pkce entry so it doesn't silently reinstate.
* `hermes model` provider picker shows
"xAI Grok OAuth (SuperGrok Subscription)" and the model-flow falls
back to pool credentials when the singleton is missing.
Hardening
---------
* Discovery and refresh responses validate the returned
`token_endpoint` host against the same `*.x.ai` allowlist as the
authorization endpoint, blocking MITM persistence of a hostile
endpoint.
* Discovery / refresh / token-exchange `response.json()` calls are
wrapped to raise typed `AuthError` on malformed bodies (captive
portals, proxy error pages) instead of leaking JSONDecodeError
tracebacks.
* `prompt_cache_key` is routed through `extra_body` on the codex
transport (sending it as a top-level kwarg trips xAI's SDK with a
TypeError).
* Credential-pool sync-back preserves `active_provider` so refreshing
an OAuth entry doesn't silently flip the active provider out from
under the running agent.
Testing
-------
* New `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_xai_oauth_provider.py` (~63 tests)
covers JWT expiry, OAuth URL params (plan + referrer), CORS origins,
redirect URI validation, singleton↔pool sync, concurrency races,
refresh error paths, runtime resolution, and malformed-JSON guards.
* Extended `test_credential_pool.py`, `test_codex_transport.py`, and
`test_run_agent_codex_responses.py` cover the pool sync-back,
`extra_body` routing, and 401 reactive refresh paths.
* 165 tests passing on this branch via `scripts/run_tests.sh`.
* fix(langfuse): reject placeholder credentials with one-shot warning
When operators leave HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY / HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
at a template value like 'placeholder', 'test-key', or 'your-langfuse-key',
the Langfuse SDK silently accepts the credentials at construction time and
drops every trace at flush time. No warning, no error — just an empty
Langfuse dashboard the operator only notices hours later.
Add prefix-based validation in _get_langfuse() against the documented
'pk-lf-' / 'sk-lf-' prefixes that Langfuse always issues server-side.
Anything else fires a single warning naming the offending env var(s)
with a log-safe value preview (full string for short placeholders so the
operator knows which template they left in place; truncated for long
values so a real secret pasted into the wrong field never hits the log),
then short-circuits via the existing _INIT_FAILED cache so the warning
fires once per process, not once per hook invocation.
The check sits after the 'Langfuse is None' SDK-installed guard so hosts
without the optional langfuse SDK don't see misleading 'set real keys'
hints when the actionable fix is 'pip install langfuse'. Missing
credentials remains the documented opt-out path and stays silent — no
log noise for unconfigured installs.
Fixes#22763Fixes#23823
* fix(langfuse): use actual API request messages for generation input
on_pre_llm_request previously used the messages kwarg alone, which
could be None when Hermes passes the payload via request_messages,
conversation_history, or user_message instead. Add _coerce_request_messages
to pick the first available list across all variants, falling back to a
synthetic user message. Generations now show the real outbound payload
rather than an empty input.
* fix(langfuse): record tool call outputs in traces
Tool observations showed input (arguments) but output was always
undefined. Root cause: when tool_call_id is empty, pre_tool_call stored
observations under a unique time-based key that post_tool_call could
never reconstruct, so every tool span was closed without output by the
_finish_trace sweep.
Fix pre/post matching by routing empty-tool_call_id tools through a
per-name FIFO queue (pending_tools_by_name) instead of the time-based
key. Tools with a tool_call_id continue to use the id-keyed dict.
Also:
- Preserve OpenAI-style nested function shape in serialized tool calls
so Langfuse renders name/arguments correctly
- Keep name + tool_call_id on role:tool messages for proper pairing
- Backfill tool results onto the matching turn_tool_calls entry so the
generation's tool-call record carries the result alongside arguments
- Coerce request messages from whichever field the runtime provides
(request_messages, messages, conversation_history, user_message)
* fix(langfuse): salvage-review polish — drop dead is_first_turn, shallow-copy request_messages, real threaded FIFO test
Self-review of the combined #22345 + #23831 salvage surfaced three issues
worth fixing in the same PR rather than as follow-ups:
1. Drop is_first_turn from the pre_api_request hook. The boolean expression
`not bool(conversation_history)` was wrong: conversation_history is
reassigned to None mid-run after compression (5 sites in run_agent.py),
so the value flips False -> True mid-conversation on every post-compression
API call. The langfuse plugin never consumed it, so the kwarg was both
misleading AND dead.
2. Replace copy.deepcopy(request_messages) with shallow list() copy. The
pre_api_request hook contract discards return values (invoke_hook never
writes back to api_kwargs), and the langfuse plugin's _serialize_messages
already builds its own snapshot dicts via _safe_value. A deepcopy on every
API call would walk every tool result and base64 image — significant
overhead for no real isolation benefit. Shallow copy of the outer list
protects against later mutations of api_messages without paying for the
inner-dict walk.
3. Rename test_empty_tool_call_id_concurrent_fifo_order ->
test_empty_tool_call_id_observations_are_fifo_within_tool_name and add a
real test_threaded_post_calls_preserve_fifo_under_lock that spawns 8
threads behind a barrier to actually exercise _STATE_LOCK on the
pending_tools_by_name queue. The original test was sequential and only
validated Python list semantics; this one validates the lock discipline.
4. Fix stale 'Cleared by reset_cache_for_tests()' comment on _INIT_FAILED —
that function does not exist. Tests reload the module via sys.modules.pop
+ importlib.import_module instead.
Tests: 37 langfuse plugin tests pass, 658 plugin tests overall pass.

SimpleX Chat (https://simplex.chat) is a private, decentralised messenger
with no persistent user IDs — every contact is identified by an opaque
internal ID generated at connection time. This adds it as a Hermes
gateway platform via the plugin system.
The adapter connects to a local simplex-chat daemon via WebSocket,
listens for inbound messages, and sends replies. Originally proposed in
PR #2558 as a core-modifying integration; reshaped here as a self-
contained plugin under plugins/platforms/simplex/ with no edits to any
core file. Discovery is filesystem-based (scanned by gateway.config),
and the platform identity is resolved on demand via Platform("simplex").
Plugin contract:
- check_requirements() requires SIMPLEX_WS_URL AND the websockets package
- validate_config() / is_connected() accept env or config.yaml input
- _env_enablement() seeds PlatformConfig.extra (ws_url + home_channel)
- _standalone_send() supports out-of-process cron delivery
- interactive_setup() provides a stdin wizard for hermes gateway setup
- register() wires the adapter into the registry with required_env,
install_hint, cron_deliver_env_var, allowed_users_env, and a
platform_hint for the LLM.
Lazy dependency: the websockets Python package is imported inside the
functions that need it. The plugin is importable and discoverable even
when websockets is missing — check_requirements() simply returns False
until `pip install websockets` is run. No new pyproject extras are
introduced.
Environment variables:
SIMPLEX_WS_URL WebSocket URL of the daemon (required)
SIMPLEX_ALLOWED_USERS Comma-separated allowed contact IDs
SIMPLEX_ALLOW_ALL_USERS Set true to allow all contacts
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL Default contact for cron delivery
SIMPLEX_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME Human label for the home channel
Closes#2557.
Add NovitaAI as a first-class provider with dedicated model selection
flow, live pricing, and authoritative context length resolution.
- Register provider in PROVIDER_REGISTRY, HERMES_OVERLAYS, and all
alias/label maps (ID: novita, aliases: novita-ai, novitaai)
- Add dedicated _model_flow_novita() with 3-tier model list fallback:
Novita API → models.dev → static curated list
- Fetch live pricing from /v1/models with correct unit conversion
(input_token_price_per_m is 0.0001 USD per Mtok)
- Add Novita-specific context length resolution (step 4b) in
get_model_context_length(), prioritized over models.dev/OpenRouter
- Register api.novita.ai in _URL_TO_PROVIDER to prevent early return
from the custom-endpoint code path
- Add models.dev mapping (novita → novita-ai)
- Add default auxiliary model (deepseek/deepseek-v3-0324)
- Add NOVITA_API_KEY to test isolation (conftest.py)
- Update docs: providers page, env vars reference, CLI reference,
.env.example, README, and landing page
Surfaced by local E2E behavior-parity testing of PR vs origin/main: the
plugin-migrated dispatchers were quietly changing the error envelope
shape returned to function-calling models on unconfigured systems.
Two findings, both from per-result error wrapping bleeding into the
pre-flight configuration error path:
1. **search**: ``firecrawl.search()`` caught the
``ValueError("Web tools are not configured...")`` from
``_get_firecrawl_client()`` and returned it as
``{"success": False, "error": ...}``, losing the legacy
``{"error": "Error searching web: ..."}`` envelope that
``tool_error()`` emits on main. Models that special-case the
``error`` key still detect the failure, but the prefix is part of
the legacy contract some users rely on.
2. **crawl**: ``firecrawl.crawl()`` caught the same pre-flight
``ValueError`` and wrapped it as a per-page error inside
``results[0]``. Main short-circuits on ``check_firecrawl_api_key()``
BEFORE dispatching, so its unconfigured response is
``{"success": False, "error": "web_crawl requires Firecrawl..."}``
at the top level. The PR's per-page burying hid the failure inside
``results[]`` where models that check ``result.get("error")`` would
miss it.
Fix:
- ``plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py``: pull
``_get_firecrawl_client()`` outside the broad ``try`` in
``search()``. Pre-flight ``ValueError`` / ``ImportError`` propagate
to the dispatcher's top-level exception handler. In-flight SDK
errors still get wrapped as ``{"success": False, ...}``.
- ``tools/web_tools.py``: mirror main's upstream availability gate in
``web_crawl_tool``. When the resolved crawl provider is
``is_available()==False``, short-circuit BEFORE dispatching with the
same top-level error shape main emits.
- ``tests/tools/test_web_providers.py``: 2 regression tests
(``TestUnconfiguredErrorEnvelopeParity``) lock in the behavior so
future plugin work can't undo this.
Verified via local subprocess-based parity test (14/14 scenarios match
origin/main shape exactly) and full 210/210 web test suite green.
Self-review of the plugin migration surfaced one warning and a handful of
doc/dead-code cleanups. None affect production behaviour through the main
dispatcher (which always calls `tools.web_tools._get_backend()` first and
preserves the full 7-provider walk), but direct callers of
`agent.web_search_registry.get_active_*_provider()` previously diverged
from the legacy order and could return `None` for users with credentials
but no explicit `web.backend` config key.
Changes
-------
1. `_LEGACY_PREFERENCE` was shipped as a 4-tuple
`("brave-free", "firecrawl", "searxng", "ddgs")` while the PR
description and the legacy `_get_backend()` candidate order both
call for the 7-tuple
`(firecrawl, parallel, tavily, exa, searxng, brave-free, ddgs)`.
Replaced with the 7-tuple. Verified empirically: with TAVILY+EXA keys
and no config, `get_active_search_provider()` now returns tavily
(was None); with EXA+PARALLEL it returns parallel (was None); with
BRAVE+FIRECRAWL it returns firecrawl (was brave-free).
2. `agent/web_search_registry.py` — module docstring, `_resolve` step-3
docstring, and inline comment all listed the old 4-tuple and claimed
"brave-free first because it was the shipped default". The legacy
default is `"firecrawl"`. Rewritten to match the new ordering and
reference `tools.web_tools._get_backend()` as the source of truth.
3. `agent/web_search_registry.py` — `get_active_crawl_provider`
docstring said "only Tavily implements it among built-in providers".
Firecrawl also advertises `supports_crawl=True` after the previous
commit. Updated to "Tavily and Firecrawl".
4. `plugins/web/tavily/provider.py` — module docstring said "Tavily is
the only built-in backend that natively crawls". Updated.
5. `agent/web_search_provider.py` — ABC docstring mentioned only
`search` / `extract` capabilities. Added `crawl` for accuracy.
6. `plugins/web/{firecrawl,parallel,exa}/provider.py` — dead plugin-level
cache globals (`_firecrawl_client`, `_parallel_client`,
`_async_parallel_client`, `_exa_client`) were declared but never read
(all reads/writes go through `_wt.*` per the `extracting-inline-
helpers-to-plugins` recipe). Removed the dead declarations; the
reset-for-tests helpers in firecrawl + parallel now clear the
canonical `_wt._<name>` slots, matching the pattern exa already used.
Tests
-----
218/218 web-targeted tests still pass (no test changes needed). 4910/4910
in `tests/tools/` still green.
The web-provider migration originally left firecrawl crawl as the only
provider-specific code remaining inline in tools/web_tools.py (~250
lines of Firecrawl-specific crawl orchestration that didn't fit the
plugin's existing surface). This commit closes that gap.
What this adds
--------------
1. plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py: implement async ``crawl(url, **kwargs)``
- Accepts the same kwargs as the dispatcher passes to any crawl
provider (``instructions``, ``depth``, ``limit``); Firecrawl's
/crawl endpoint ignores ``instructions`` and ``depth`` so we log
and drop with a clear info message.
- Wraps the sync SDK ``crawl()`` call in asyncio.to_thread so the
gateway event loop isn't blocked on a multi-page crawl.
- Preserves the response-shape normalization across pydantic /
typed-object / dict variants that the legacy inline code did.
- Preserves per-page website-policy re-check (catches blocked
redirects after the SDK returns).
- Returns the same {"results": [...]} shape so the dispatcher's
shared LLM-summarization post-processing path works unchanged.
- Sets supports_crawl() to True so the dispatcher routes through
the plugin instead of the legacy fallthrough.
2. tools/web_tools.py: delete the entire legacy firecrawl crawl block
that used to run after "No registered provider supports crawl" —
~270 lines including:
- check_firecrawl_api_key gate + typed error
- inline SSRF + website-policy seed-URL gate (dispatcher already
does this)
- Firecrawl client setup with crawl_params
- 100+ lines of pydantic/dict/typed-object normalization
- Per-page LLM-processing loop (kept in the dispatcher's shared
post-processing path; that's where it always belonged)
- trimming + base64 image cleanup (still done in the dispatcher's
shared path)
Replaced with a single typed-error branch when no crawl-capable
provider is available: "web_crawl has no available backend. Set
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY (or FIRECRAWL_API_URL for self-hosted), or set
TAVILY_API_KEY for Tavily."
Test updates
------------
- tests/tools/test_website_policy.py:
- test_web_crawl_short_circuits_blocked_url: dispatcher seed-URL
gate still runs on web_tools.check_website_access (no change to
that patch), but the firecrawl client lockdown moved to the
plugin module — patch firecrawl_provider._get_firecrawl_client
instead of web_tools._get_firecrawl_client. The dispatcher
short-circuits before the plugin runs, so the test still passes.
- test_web_crawl_blocks_redirected_final_url: patch the per-page
policy gate at plugins.web.firecrawl.provider.check_website_access
(where it now runs) AND on web_tools (where the seed-URL gate
still runs). Patch firecrawl_provider._get_firecrawl_client for
the FakeCrawlClient injection. Both checks flow through the same
fake_check function.
- tests/plugins/web/test_web_search_provider_plugins.py:
- Update parametrized capability-flag spec: firecrawl supports_crawl
is now True.
- Add test_firecrawl_crawl_returns_error_dict_when_unconfigured —
verifies inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.crawl) is True and that
the async crawl returns a per-page error dict (not a raise) when
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is missing.
Verified
--------
- 218/218 web tests pass (was 173, +44 plugin tests + 1 new firecrawl
crawl test from this commit = 218 with the test deduplication).
- Compile-clean (py_compile passes on both files).
- Provider capabilities matrix confirmed end-to-end:
name search extract crawl async-extract? async-crawl?
firecrawl True True True True True
tavily True True True False False
Both crawl-capable providers exercise the dispatcher's
inspect.iscoroutinefunction async-or-sync detection.
Net diff

- Total: -32 net LoC; tools/web_tools.py is now 1509 lines (was 1763
before this commit, 2227 before the migration started).
Removes the seven hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"] provider rows that
duplicated the plugin-registered providers, and deletes the
_WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST that existed to prevent duplicate picker rows
during the migration. The Web Search & Extract category now derives its
provider rows entirely from agent.web_search_registry via
_plugin_web_search_providers(), matching how Spotify, Google Meet, and
the image_gen plugins are surfaced.
Removed (deduplicated against plugin schemas):
- Firecrawl Cloud → plugins.web.firecrawl
- Exa → plugins.web.exa
- Parallel → plugins.web.parallel
- Tavily → plugins.web.tavily
- SearXNG → plugins.web.searxng
- Brave Search (Free Tier) → plugins.web.brave_free
- DuckDuckGo (ddgs) → plugins.web.ddgs (post_setup hook preserved)
Retained in TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"]:
- Nous Subscription — requires requires_nous_auth +
managed_nous_feature + override_env_vars
to drive the managed-gateway UX. Not a
provider — a different *setup flow* for the
firecrawl backend.
- Firecrawl Self-Hosted — points firecrawl at a private Docker URL
via FIRECRAWL_API_URL only. Same reason:
UX setup-flow row, not a provider.
These two rows describe alternative auth/billing paths for the
firecrawl backend; they intentionally share web_backend="firecrawl"
with the plugin row but light up different env-var prompts.
Plugin schema extensions
------------------------
- ddgs plugin's get_setup_schema() now emits `post_setup: "ddgs"` so
selection still triggers the pip-install hook in _run_post_setup().
- _plugin_web_search_providers() passes `post_setup` through verbatim
when present in the schema (other future plugins like camofox / a
hypothetical playwright-web plugin can opt in the same way).
- Picker rows now carry both `web_backend` (legacy field consumed by
setup + selection helpers) and `web_search_plugin_name`
(informational marker), so behavior is identical between hardcoded
and plugin-registered rows.
Net diff
--------
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: -141/+50 lines (~91 lines net)
- plugins/web/ddgs/provider.py: +7/-4 (post_setup field + badge polish)
Verified
--------
- Compile-clean for both files
- Picker shows: 2 hardcoded rows (Nous Subscription, Firecrawl
Self-Hosted) + 7 plugin rows (alphabetically: Brave Search,
DuckDuckGo, Exa, Firecrawl, Parallel, SearXNG, Tavily). DuckDuckGo
row carries post_setup="ddgs" for first-time install.
- 173 web-specific tests still pass.
Removes ~580 lines of dead code from tools/web_tools.py that were
superseded by the plugin migration but kept around in the cutover commit
to keep the diff focused. Replaces them with thin re-export shims so
existing tests and external callers that reach for the legacy
``tools.web_tools.<name>`` paths continue to work transparently.

Plus retained module-level imports for backward-compat with tests:
- httpx (tests patch tools.web_tools.httpx for tavily request mocking)
- build_vendor_gateway_url, _read_nous_access_token,
resolve_managed_tool_gateway, managed_nous_tools_enabled,
prefers_gateway (tests patch tools.web_tools.<name>)
Plugin indirection pattern (key technique)
------------------------------------------
For functions inside the firecrawl/parallel/exa plugins to honor
unit-test patches that target ``tools.web_tools.<name>``, the plugin
implementations now do ``import tools.web_tools as _wt`` at call time
and read helper names through that module (``_wt._read_nous_access_token``,
``_wt.Firecrawl``, ``_wt.prefers_gateway``, etc.). This makes the
existing test patches transparently reach the plugin code without any
test changes.
The cached client globals (_firecrawl_client, _firecrawl_client_config,
_parallel_client, _async_parallel_client, _exa_client) also now live on
tools.web_tools so existing test setup_method handlers that reset
``tools.web_tools._<vendor>_client = None`` between cases keep working.
The plugins read/write the cache via getattr/setattr on the web_tools
module.
Verified
--------
- 173/173 targeted web tests pass:
test_web_providers.py, test_web_providers_brave_free.py,

test_web_tools_config.py, test_web_tools_tavily.py,
test_website_policy.py, test_config_null_guard.py
- Compile-clean (py_compile.compile passes)
- All inline implementations now exist in exactly one place
(plugins.web.<vendor>.provider)
Follow-up clean-up
------------------
- Drop _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST + hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"] rows
(next commit)
- Delete tools/web_providers/ directory entirely
- Add tests/plugins/web/ coverage
- Full tests/tools/ + tests/gateway/ regression sweep before promoting PR
Two regressions discovered by running the full tests/tools/ suite after
the dispatcher cutover, both fixed in this commit:
1. web_crawl_tool incorrectly errored "search-only" for firecrawl
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The cutover treated any provider with supports_crawl()==False as a
search-only backend and returned the typed search-only error. But
firecrawl can crawl via the legacy multi-page-extract path inside
web_crawl_tool — it just doesn't expose supports_crawl on the plugin
(adding native firecrawl crawl is a clean follow-up).
Fix: only emit the search-only error when the provider supports
NEITHER crawl NOR extract (brave-free / ddgs / searxng). When the
provider supports extract but not crawl (firecrawl), fall through to
the legacy firecrawl-via-extract path below.
2. firecrawl plugin's check_website_access wasn't patchable
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The plugin imported `from tools.website_policy import check_website_access`
INSIDE the extract() function body, so monkeypatching the name on
plugins.web.firecrawl.provider had no effect — the inner import re-bound
the name on every call.
Fix: hoist the import to module level. Cheap (website_policy itself
has no heavy deps) and makes the standard
monkeypatch.setattr(firecrawl_provider, "check_website_access", ...)
pattern work.
Test updates (tests/tools/test_website_policy.py — 4 tests):
- test_web_extract_short_circuits_blocked_url
- test_web_extract_blocks_redirected_final_url
Both: patch the gate at plugins.web.firecrawl.provider (where it
runs after migration) and force the firecrawl plugin to be the
active extract provider via FIRECRAWL_API_KEY.
- test_web_crawl_short_circuits_blocked_url
- test_web_crawl_blocks_redirected_final_url
Both: unchanged — the dispatcher-level gate at tools.web_tools.py
line 1651 still uses the imported `check_website_access` name and
the firecrawl-fallthrough path is exercised as before.
Verified: 22/22 tests/tools/test_website_policy.py pass.
Migrates Firecrawl from inline code in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled
plugin at plugins/web/firecrawl/. By line count this is the largest of
the seven provider migrations: the firecrawl path captured most of the
file's vendor-specific complexity.
What moved into the plugin (all previously in tools/web_tools.py):
Lazy Firecrawl SDK proxy
- _load_firecrawl_cls() — caches the imported SDK class
- _FirecrawlProxy + Firecrawl singleton — defers ~200ms of SDK
imports until first construction or isinstance check.
Client construction (dual auth)
- _get_direct_firecrawl_config() — direct FIRECRAWL_API_KEY/URL path
- _get_firecrawl_gateway_url() — managed Nous tool-gateway URL
- _is_tool_gateway_ready() — gateway URL + Nous token check
- _has_direct_firecrawl_config() — direct config present?
- _get_firecrawl_client() — combined client construction
honoring web.use_gateway
- check_firecrawl_api_key() — top-level "is firecrawl usable"
- _firecrawl_backend_help_suffix() — managed-gateway help string
- _raise_web_backend_configuration_error() — typed misconfig error
Response shape normalization (vendor-specific)
- _to_plain_object(), _normalize_result_list() — SDK→dict helpers
- _extract_web_search_results() — handles SDK/direct/gateway shapes
- _extract_scrape_payload() — nested-data unwrap for scrape
Per-URL extract loop
- 60s asyncio.wait_for timeout per URL
- Pre-scrape website-policy gate
- Post-scrape redirect-aware SSRF re-check
- Format-aware content selection (markdown / html / auto)
- Per-URL errors returned as {"error": str} entries, no raises
Extract is declared `async def` — each URL is scraped in
asyncio.to_thread(...). This is the second async-extract plugin after
parallel.
The plugin re-exports `Firecrawl` (the lazy proxy) and
`check_firecrawl_api_key()` so existing tests doing
`patch("tools.web_tools.Firecrawl")` or
`monkeypatch.setattr(web_tools, "check_firecrawl_api_key", ...)` keep
working — tools/web_tools.py re-exports both names in the next
dispatcher-cutover commit.
Note: web_crawl_tool still has its own Firecrawl crawl path inline
(separate from extract); the Firecrawl SDK supports /crawl but we don't
expose supports_crawl=True on this plugin yet. Tavily handles crawl
today. Adding Firecrawl crawl is a clean follow-up.
Adds "firecrawl" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST.
E2E verified:
- All 7 providers register: brave-free, ddgs, exa, firecrawl,
parallel, searxng, tavily
- inspect.iscoroutinefunction(firecrawl.extract) -> True
- Firecrawl proxy is a callable lazy proxy at module level
- check_firecrawl_api_key reflects FIRECRAWL_API_KEY presence
Migrates Tavily from inline _tavily_request() / _normalize_tavily_*
helpers in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/tavily/.
First plugin in the codebase to advertise supports_crawl=True. Tavily is
unique among built-in backends in offering a native /crawl endpoint that
walks linked pages from a seed URL with optional natural-language
instructions and depth ("basic" or "advanced").
Capabilities:
- supports_search() -> True (Tavily /search)
- supports_extract() -> True (Tavily /extract)
- supports_crawl() -> True (Tavily /crawl)
All sync (httpx.post under the hood).
The crawl method accepts forward-compat kwargs (instructions, depth,
limit) and is gated against unsafe URLs/policy by the dispatcher in
web_crawl_tool — exactly as before.
Behavior preserved:
- TAVILY_API_KEY required (ValueError → typed error response)
- TAVILY_BASE_URL env override honored
- /crawl requires both body auth AND Bearer header — preserved
- failed_results[] and failed_urls[] response keys mapped to per-URL
items with error fields rather than raising
- max_results capped at 20 server-side
Adds "tavily" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST.
The legacy inline _tavily_request / _normalize_tavily_search_results /
_normalize_tavily_documents / _TAVILY_BASE_URL in tools/web_tools.py are
NOT deleted yet — search/extract dispatch and the entire web_crawl_tool
function still reference them. They go away when those dispatchers are
cut over to the registry.
E2E verified:
- Tavily registers with all 3 capabilities
- Provider list now: brave-free, ddgs, exa, parallel, searxng, tavily
Migrates Parallel.ai from inline `_parallel_search()` / `_parallel_extract()`
in tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/parallel/.
First plugin in the codebase to expose an async :meth:`extract`:
- search() is sync — Parallel.beta.search
- extract() is **async def** — AsyncParallel.beta.extract
The ABC's docstring on supports_extract() already permits sync-or-async;
this commit is the first to exercise the async path. The web_extract_tool
dispatcher (next commit) detects coroutines via
inspect.iscoroutinefunction and awaits accordingly.
Behavior preserved:
- PARALLEL_API_KEY required (raises ValueError if missing → surfaced
as {"success": False, "error": "..."} instead)
- PARALLEL_SEARCH_MODE env var honored (agentic|fast|one-shot, default
agentic), validated via _resolve_search_mode()
- Limit capped at 20 server-side via min(limit, 20)
- Per-URL failure mode preserved: response.errors[] each become a
result dict with an "error" field rather than raising
- Module-level _parallel_client / _async_parallel_client caches kept
(mirrors legacy singleton pattern)
Adds "parallel" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST in hermes_cli/tools_config.py so
the picker doesn't double-list.
The legacy inline _parallel_search, _parallel_extract, _get_parallel_client,
_get_async_parallel_client in tools/web_tools.py are NOT deleted yet — the
dispatcher still calls them. They go away when the dispatcher cuts over.
E2E verified:
- inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.search) -> False
- inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.extract) -> True
- extract() returns a coroutine (not a list)
- 5 providers register correctly (brave-free, ddgs, exa, parallel, searxng)
Migrates Exa from the inline `_exa_search()` / `_exa_extract()` helpers in
tools/web_tools.py to a bundled plugin at plugins/web/exa/.
This is the first plugin in this PR to advertise supports_extract=True,
exercising the multi-capability ABC path that the initial three migrations
(brave_free, ddgs, searxng — all search-only) did not cover.
Both Exa methods are sync — the SDK is sync-only. The web_extract_tool
dispatcher in tools/web_tools.py will continue to call them inline until
Task "dispatch-extract-all" cuts it over to the registry.
Behaviour preserved bit-for-bit aside from the ABC method-name change:
- is_configured() -> is_available()
- provider_name() -> name (property)
- "exa" stays as the registered name
- Module-level `_exa_client` cache + lazy `from exa_py import Exa`
preserved at the new location.
- Errors (ValueError for missing API key, ImportError for missing SDK,
generic Exception) caught and surfaced as {"success": False, "error": ...}
instead of raising.
Adds "exa" to _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST in hermes_cli/tools_config.py so the
hardcoded TOOL_CATEGORIES["web"] row and the plugin-injected row don't
duplicate during the spike. The skip-list goes away in the cleanup phase
along with the hardcoded row.
The legacy inline `_exa_search` / `_exa_extract` / `_get_exa_client` /
`_exa_client` in tools/web_tools.py are NOT deleted yet — the dispatcher
still references them. They go away in the next dispatcher-cutover commit.
E2E verified:
- Plugin discovers + registers
- .supports_search/.supports_extract/.supports_crawl = (True, True, False)
- .get_setup_schema() returns the picker row shape
- resolve(): explicit exa + EXA_API_KEY -> exa; without key -> exa (registered
but unavailable, dispatcher surfaces "EXA_API_KEY not set" error)
Deletes tools/web_providers/{brave_free,ddgs,searxng}.py — the three
providers that moved to plugins/web/ in prior commits. tools/web_tools.py
no longer imports them (registry dispatch as of d8735963f), so removing
them is purely a cleanup pass.
Also migrates the existing tests to the new import paths:
tests/tools/test_web_providers_brave_free.py
tests/tools/test_web_providers_ddgs.py
tests/tools/test_web_providers_searxng.py
Mechanical rewrites:
- `from tools.web_providers.X import YSearchProvider`
-> `from plugins.web.X.provider import YWebSearchProvider`
- `.is_configured()` -> `.is_available()` (legacy method -> new method)
- `.provider_name()` -> `.name` (legacy method -> new property)
- `from tools.web_providers.base import WebSearchProvider`
-> `from agent.web_search_provider import WebSearchProvider`
(the subclass-check asserts membership in the new plugin-facing ABC)
- `sys.modules.delitem("tools.web_providers.ddgs")` updated to point at
`plugins.web.ddgs.provider` (cache-busting for lazy ddgs imports)
The TestXBackendWiring / TestXSearchOnlyErrors classes (covering
_is_backend_available, _get_backend, check_web_api_key, and the
"search-only" error paths in web_extract/web_crawl) are untouched —
those still test web_tools.py's backend-selection logic, which continues
to recognize the names "brave-free" / "ddgs" / "searxng" even after the
modules behind them moved to plugins.
tools/web_providers/base.py is intentionally NOT deleted by this commit
— it's the parent ABC of the legacy modules and shares its name with
agent/web_search_provider.py::WebSearchProvider. Removing it surfaces the
naming collision (see PR description Finding 0); the real migration PR
deletes it in the same commit that drops the _WEB_PLUGIN_SKIPLIST
guards in hermes_cli/tools_config.py.
Test results:
bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_web_providers_*.py
-> 65 passed in 3.41s (all rewritten unit tests + unchanged integration tests)
bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_web_*.py
-> 141 passed in 4.70s (full web test set, post-deletion)
Adds plugins/web/searxng/. SearXNG aggregates results from upstream engines
via its JSON API (/search?format=json) — search-only, no extract capability
(supports_extract() returns False).
E2E verified — registry now has ['brave-free', 'ddgs', 'searxng'].
Adds plugins/web/ddgs/ following the same plugins/image_gen/ pattern as
brave_free. DuckDuckGo search via the community ddgs package; no API key,
package is an optional dep gated by is_available().
E2E verified — registry now has ['brave-free', 'ddgs'].
Adds plugins/web/brave_free/ as the first plugin built against the new
WebSearchProvider ABC. Mirrors the plugins/image_gen/openai/ layout exactly:
plugins/web/brave_free/
plugin.yaml kind: backend, provides_web_providers: [brave-free]
__init__.py register(ctx) -> ctx.register_web_search_provider(...)
provider.py BraveFreeWebSearchProvider(WebSearchProvider)
Behavior preserved: same name ("brave-free" with hyphen), same env var
(BRAVE_SEARCH_API_KEY), same HTTP request shape, same response normalization.
The legacy tools/web_providers/brave_free.py is left in place — the
dispatcher in tools/web_tools.py still references it. Task 7 cuts over the
dispatcher to the new registry; Task 10 deletes the legacy file.

* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends
One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the
image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry,
plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced
through hermes tools.
Surface (one schema, every backend):
- operation: generate / edit / extend
- modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt +
image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url)
- reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution,
negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override
- Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via
VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the
backend, the agent learns one tool
Backends shipped:
- plugins/video_gen/xai/ — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend +
image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by
@Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface)
- plugins/video_gen/fal/ — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v,
Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a
model doesn't declare
Wiring:
- agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation,
success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video,
$HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/
- agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list +
get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml
- hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider()
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in
hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin,
config write to video_gen.{provider,model}
- toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset
- tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins
- docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the
image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated
Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse),
#10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984
(FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin
interface).

* feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities
Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a
static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the
video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions()
time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model.
The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front:
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is
REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected'
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown
- xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7
reference_image_urls'
- Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface
that they need to switch backends via hermes tools'
This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping —
documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is
free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a
mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically.
Tested:
- Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models
require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side
rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted
round-trip
- Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean
missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches
- 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface /
text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing
- 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set
* test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema
Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode
from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video,
reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without
prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint
(/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right
payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five
client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt,
extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and
duration/aspect_ratio clamping.
15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing,
modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake
AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload
the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope.
Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations
match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate
'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads:
Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video
- operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate
- modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text
- aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16
- resolution choices: 480p, 720p
- duration range: 1-15s
- reference_image_urls: up to 7 images

* feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing
Two design changes per Teknium:
1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video
and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two
modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints
stay out of the unified schema.
2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the
family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether
image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND
'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick
'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest.
Catalog rewritten as families:
veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video
kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video / fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video
xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes,
routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no
edit/extend exposure.
Schema changes:
- VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params:
prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration,
aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model.
- VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS,
DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key.
- success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the
agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.
Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no
'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active
backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads:
Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6
- supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video
(pass image_url) - routes automatically
- aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
- resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
- duration range: 1-15s
- audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier)
- negative_prompt: supported
Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video
sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image
hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits
image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard.
Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern
as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention.
toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface.

* feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers
Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL:
Cheap tier:
ltx-2.3 fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video / image-to-video
pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / image-to-video
Premium tier:
veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
seedance-2.0 bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video / image-to-video
kling-v3-4k fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video
happy-horse fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video / image-to-video
DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane
defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't
explicitly picked a model.
New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video
endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring
image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload
remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url.
Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs:
- LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution
enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults)
- Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported,
negative prompts NOT supported per docs
- Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative
- Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s
Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K
start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy
Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green.
Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes
already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing
the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface
without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should
use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available.
* test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality
End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the
actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes
config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then
asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right
payload shape.
Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new
families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get
both modalities tested for free).
Coverage:
- All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases
- xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases
- tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases
For each case, verifies:
- result['success'] is True
- result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise)
- outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint
- text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys
- text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most,
start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI)
All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every
(provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage.
* feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status
Two changes:
1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in
the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow —
most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone
who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which
already routes to the provider+model picker.
2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only
shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without
FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of
those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired.
Verified live:
- Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard.
- With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name.
- 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice.
Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative
tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long
wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better.

* feat(nous): unified client=hermes-client-v<version> tag on every Portal request
Every Hermes request to Nous Portal now carries the same
client=hermes-client-v<__version__> tag (e.g. client=hermes-client-v0.13.0
on this release), sourced live from hermes_cli.__version__. The release
script's regex bump auto-aligns it on every release.
Centralized in agent/portal_tags.py and wired into all four call sites:
- NousProfile.build_extra_body (main agent loop, every chat completion)
- auxiliary_client.NOUS_EXTRA_BODY + _build_call_kwargs (aux client)
- run_agent.py compression-summary fallback path
- tools/web_tools.py web_extract fallback
Replaces the client=aux marker added in #24194 with the unified version
tag. Tests assert against the helper output (invariant) rather than the
literal string, so they don't need updating on every release.
* feat(nous): cover /goal judge and kanban specify aux paths
Two aux-using surfaces bypassed call_llm by invoking
client.chat.completions.create() directly without extra_body, so they
were missing the unified Portal client tag:
- hermes_cli/goals.py — /goal standing-goal judge
- hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py — kanban triage specifier
Both now pass extra_body=get_auxiliary_extra_body() or None so they
inherit the version tag when the aux client points at Nous Portal, and
emit nothing otherwise (no tag leak to OpenRouter/Anthropic auxes).
The LINE adapter calls self.create_source(...) which raises
AttributeError on every inbound message — no such method exists.
The base PlatformAdapter exposes this factory as build_source(),
consistent with the IRC and Teams adapters.
Fixes#23728
Xiaomi MiMo's /v1/models endpoint returns 401 even with a valid API key,
causing hermes doctor to falsely report 'invalid API key'.
Add a `supports_health_check` field to ProviderProfile (default True).
Providers whose /models endpoint doesn't support auth verification can
set it to False. The doctor's dynamic provider discovery now reads this
field instead of hardcoding True.
The xiaomi provider plugin sets supports_health_check=False.
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback
Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.
# What this PR makes true
1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
eagerly pulling everything at install time.
# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py
- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
* hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
* hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
* cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
* gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log
# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py
- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
* tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
* plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
* tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
restores mistralai
# Installer fallback tiers
scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:
- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.
Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).
# Config
hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: [] (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True (security gate for ensure())
No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.
# Tests
tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant
tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command
Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.
# Validation

<https://socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hulud-worm-pypi>
* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)
Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.
Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.
What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.
Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.
Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.
mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.
LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.
Validation:
- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
→ 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.
* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra
You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.
# What this commit fixes
1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
(the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.
2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
lock, optionally re-add to [all]).
3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.
# Defense-in-depth view
| Layer | Where | Protects against |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject | direct deps | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph | transitive worm injection |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate | every PR | drift between pyproject and lockfile |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime | cleanup for users who already got hit |
The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.
# Validation
- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
(test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.
* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)
* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)
Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.
Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts (default TTS but still optional)
New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].
New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.
Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.
Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).
Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules
- Bug 1: shift-click now always adds the target card and sets it as the
last-selected anchor, so range selection works even when 0 or 1 cards
are selected.
- Bug 2: column select-all checkbox now toggles: if every card in the
column is already selected, clicking unselects them all.
- Bug 3: applyBulk now mirrors moveSelected with optimistic UI updates
for status moves and calls loadBoard() on catch for consistency.
The Task dataclass has no `summary` field; only Run carries summary.
The dashboard already searches `latest_summary` (derived from the
latest run), so `t.summary` in the client-side haystack was always
undefined and therefore redundant.
Verdict from task t_4bcac44f:
- Before batch QOL (6c7ec94d9): search only covered id, title,
assignee, tenant.
- Batch QOL (7fd187102) correctly added body, result, latest_summary.
- `t.summary` was included but is a misleading no-op because tasks
never expose a `summary` key — `latest_summary` already covers it.
Removes the redundant field from the haystack only.
- When dragging a selected card while multiple cards are selected, the
browser ghost image now shows a 'N cards' badge instead of a single card.
- All selected cards in the original column are dimmed (opacity 0.45 +
grayscale) during the drag so the user sees the whole set is in-flight.
- Uses React state for the dragged task id; event delegation on the board
columns container to avoid deep prop threading.
- Preserve failedIds partial-failure highlighting after moveSelected/
applyBulk by clearing only selectedIds/lastSelectedId instead of
calling clearSelected() (which also wiped failedIds).
- Fix touch/native multi-drag drop stale closure by adding
props.selectedIds and props.onMoveSelected to the hermes-kanban:drop
useEffect dependency array.
Fixes t_5bfafb73.
- Extend BulkTaskBody with reclaim_first: bool = False
- In bulk_update, use kanban_db.reassign_task(..., reclaim_first=True)
when payload.reclaim_first is set and assignee is present
- Falls back to existing assign_task behavior when reclaim_first is false
This enables the dashboard to bulk-reassign running tasks by
reclaiming their claims first, matching the single-task
/tasks/{id}/reassign endpoint behavior.
Follow-up to TreyDong's fix: switch the auth header to
`X-Hermes-Session-Token` (the canonical pattern used by the rest of
the dashboard SPA — see `web/src/lib/api.ts` `fetchJSON()`). The
server still accepts both schemes, so the original `Authorization:
Bearer` form would also work; we standardize on X-header to match
every other dashboard fetch and only set the header when a token is
actually present.
Also add scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP entry for treydong.zh@gmail.com.
Two follow-up improvements to Tranquil-Flow's metadata-panel restyle.
Both stay within the parent PR's "tone down the panel" scope.
1. Native <details>/<summary> collapse for verbose metadata.
The parent PR consciously deferred this ("adding native expand/collapse
would be the next step but requires UX agreement"). The default they
asked for is straightforward: collapsed when the rendered JSON exceeds
300 chars (the threshold where the max-height: 8.5rem cap actually
starts mattering), expanded otherwise. <details>/<summary> is the right
primitive — zero JS, browser-handled state, accessible by default
(keyboard-navigable, screen-reader announces the disclosure state),
and survives any react-state churn for free.
The OS-default disclosure marker is suppressed (list-style: none +
::-webkit-details-marker hidden) and replaced with a CSS ::before
chevron that rotates 90deg on the [open] attribute, so the look is
consistent across Firefox/WebKit/Blink without the double-marker
that would otherwise appear on the platforms that still render the
default triangle.
2. Skip rendering when metadata is an empty object.
`r.metadata && ...` truthy-checks, but `{}` is truthy in JS — so a
completed task with no actual metadata would render a "Metadata"
labeled disclosure block containing literal `{}`. Adds an
Object.keys(r.metadata).length > 0 guard so empty payloads render
nothing instead of an empty disclosure stub.
Tests: three new static-asset assertions covering the <details> shape,
the empty-object skip, and the suppress-default-marker + animated-chevron
CSS — all in `tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py`.
Hand-rebased onto current main from PR #19980; the original branch was stale
against main (~6 unrelated dashboard fixes had landed since), so applying
the PR's dist files directly would have silently reverted them.
The run-history panel in the task drawer rendered each completed run's
`metadata` field as a `<code class="hermes-kanban-run-meta">` containing
`JSON.stringify(r.metadata)` — a single unindented monoline. With
`white-space: pre-wrap` and a monospace font, a writer task's metadata
(changed_files paths, source URLs, generated-artifact details) wrapped
into a tall block of code-ish text that filled the parent run row. The
container's faint `--color-foreground 3%` background then made the whole
thing read like a crash dump even though the run completed normally.
Restyle and label, no interactivity changes:
- Wrap the meta payload in a `.hermes-kanban-run-meta-block` sub-block
with an explicit `Metadata` label (small, uppercase, muted) so the
panel reads as auxiliary detail at a glance.
- Pretty-print the JSON (`indent=2`) so the structure is scannable
instead of a wall of monoline text.
- Cap `.hermes-kanban-run-meta` at `max-height: 8.5rem; overflow: auto`
so a verbose blob scrolls inside its own pane rather than swamping
the run row.
- Sub-block uses a thin `border-left` rule and `background: transparent`
— distinct from the destructive-tinted treatment used by crashed /
timed_out / blocked / spawn_failed runs higher in the same file.
Tests: two new static-asset assertions in
`tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py` lock in the rendered
shape (the plugin ships built-only, no src/).
task_age() crashed with ValueError when created_at contained the
literal format string '%s' instead of a Unix timestamp, taking down
the entire GET /board endpoint with a 500.
- Add _safe_int() helper that returns None on non-numeric values
- Refactor task_age() to use _safe_int instead of bare int() casts
- Wrap task_age() call in _task_dict with try/except fallback so one
corrupt row never kills the whole board endpoint
* feat(i18n): localize /model command output
Reported by @tianma8888: when Chinese users run /model, the labels
("Provider:", "Context:", "_session only_", etc.) are still English.
This routes the static prose through the existing i18n catalog so it
follows display.language / HERMES_LANGUAGE.
Changes:
- locales/{en,zh,ja,de,es,fr,tr,uk}.yaml: add 17 keys under
gateway.model.* covering switched/provider/context/max_output/cost/
capabilities/prompt_caching/warning/saved_global/session_only_hint/
current_label/current_tag/more_models_suffix/usage_*.
- gateway/run.py _handle_model_command: replace hardcoded f-strings in
the picker callback, the text-list fallback, and the direct-switch
confirmation block with t("gateway.model.<key>", ...).
What stays English:
- model IDs, provider slugs, capability strings, cost figures, and the
"[Note: model was just switched...]" prepended to the model's next
prompt (LLM-facing, not user-facing).
- The two slightly-different session-only hints unify on a single key
with the em-dash phrasing.
Validation: tests/agent/test_i18n.py 27/27 passing (parity contract
holds), tests/gateway/ -k 'model or i18n' 74/74 passing.
* feat(i18n): localize all gateway slash command outputs
Expands the i18n catalog from 7 strings to 234 keys across 35 gateway
slash command handlers, so non-English users see localized output for
\`/profile\`, \`/status\`, \`/help\`, \`/personality\`, \`/voice\`, \`/reset\`,
\`/agents\`, \`/restart\`, \`/commands\`, \`/goal\`, \`/retry\`, \`/undo\`,
\`/sethome\`, \`/title\`, \`/yolo\`, \`/background\`, \`/approve\`, \`/deny\`,
\`/insights\`, \`/debug\`, \`/rollback\`, \`/reasoning\`, \`/fast\`,
\`/verbose\`, \`/footer\`, \`/compress\`, \`/topic\`, \`/kanban\`,
\`/resume\`, \`/branch\`, \`/usage\`, \`/reload-mcp\`, \`/reload-skills\`,
\`/update\`, \`/stop\` (plus the \`/model\` block already added in the
previous commit).
Reported by @tianma8888 — Chinese users want command output prose in
their language, not just the labels we already had.
Translations are hand-written for all 8 supported locales (en, zh, ja,
de, es, fr, tr, uk), matching each catalog's existing style: full-width
punctuation in zh, em-dashes in zh/ja/uk, French spaced colons,
German noun capitalization, etc.
What stays English (unchanged):
- Identifiers/values: model IDs, file paths, profile names, session IDs,
command flag names like --global, URLs, config keys.
- Backtick code spans: \`/foo\`, \`config.yaml\`.
- Log messages (logger.info/warning/error).
- LLM-facing system notes prepended to next prompt (e.g. [Note: model
was just switched...]).
- Strings produced by external modules (gateway_help_lines,
format_gateway, manual_compression_feedback) — those have their
own surfaces.
New shared keys for cross-handler boilerplate:
- gateway.shared.session_db_unavailable (5 call sites: branch, title,
resume, topic, _disable_telegram_topic_mode_for_chat)
- gateway.shared.session_not_found (1 site)
- gateway.shared.warn_passthrough (2 sites in /title's f"⚠️ {e}" pattern)
YAML gotcha fixed: \`yolo.on\` and \`yolo.off\` were originally written
unquoted, which YAML 1.1 parses as boolean True/False keys. Renamed to
\`yolo.enabled\` / \`yolo.disabled\` for both safety and clarity.
Test fix: tests/agent/test_i18n.py::test_t_missing_key_in_non_english_falls_back_to_english
now resets the catalog cache on teardown, so the fake "foo: English Foo"
locale doesn't poison the module-level cache for subsequent tests in
the same xdist worker. (Without this, every gateway slash command test
that shares a worker with the i18n suite would see the fake catalog.)
Validation:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 27/27 (parity contract — every key in every
locale, matching placeholder tokens).
- tests/gateway/: 5077 passed, 0 failed (full gateway suite).
- 180 t() call sites added across 35 handlers; 1872 catalog entries
total (234 keys × 8 locales).
* feat(i18n): add 8 new locales — af, ko, it, ga, zh-hant, pt, ru, hu
Expands the static-message catalog from 8 → 16 languages, each with full
270-key parity against the English source-of-truth. Every locale now
covers the same surface PR #22914 added: approval prompts plus all 35
gateway slash command outputs.
New locales:
- af Afrikaans (community ask in #21961 by @GodsBoy; PRs #21962, #21970)
- ko Korean (PRs #20297 by @tmdgusya, #22285 by @project820)
- it Italian (PR #20371 by @leprincep35700)
- ga Irish/Gaeilge (PR #20962 by @ryanmcc09-dot)
- zh-hant Traditional Chinese (PRs #20523 by @jackey8616, #13140 by @anomixer)
- pt Portuguese (PRs #20443 by @pedroborges, #15737 by @carloshenriquecarniatto, #22063 by @Magaav)
- ru Russian (PR #22770 by @DrMaks22)
- hu Hungarian (PR #22336 by @lunasec007)
Each locale uses native-quality translations matching the existing tone
and conventions of the older 8 locales:
- zh-hant uses 繁體 characters with TW/HK technical vocabulary (軟體
not 软件, 連線 not 连接, 設定 not 设置, 訊息 not 消息, 工作階段 not 会话, 程式
not 程序, 預設 not 默认, 伺服器 not 服务器), full-width punctuation 「：（）」.
- ko uses formal 합니다체 (습니다/합니다) register throughout.
- pt uses European Portuguese as baseline with neutral PT/BR vocabulary
where possible.
- ga uses standard An Caighdeán Oifigiúil; English loanwords retained
for tech terms without good Irish equivalents (gateway, API, JSON).
- All preserve {placeholder} tokens, backtick code spans, slash commands,
brand names (Hermes, MCP, TTS, YOLO, OpenAI, Telegram, etc.), and emoji.
Aliases added in agent/i18n.py:
- af-za, Afrikaans → af
- ko-kr, Korean, 한국어 → ko
- it-it, italiano → it
- ga-ie, Irish, Gaeilge → ga
- zh-tw, zh-hk, zh-mo, traditional-chinese → zh-hant (note: zh-tw used to
alias to zh; now aliases to its own zh-hant catalog)
- zh-cn, zh-hans, zh-sg → zh (unchanged from before)
- pt-pt, pt-br, brazilian, portuguese → pt
- ru-ru, Russian, русский → ru
- hu-hu, Magyar → hu
The zh-tw alias re-routing is intentional: previously typing 'zh-TW' got
the Simplified Chinese catalog (wrong vocabulary for Taiwan/HK users).
Now those users get the proper Traditional Chinese catalog.
Validation:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 43/43 (parity contract holds for all 16
languages × 270 keys = 4320 catalog entries, with matching placeholder
tokens).
- E2E alias resolution verified for all 19 alias inputs (Afrikaans, ko-KR,
한국어, italiano, Gaeilge, zh-TW, zh-HK, traditional-chinese, pt-BR,
brazilian, Magyar, etc.).
- tests/gateway/: 5198 passed (3 pre-existing TTS routing failures
unrelated to i18n).
Credit to all contributors whose PRs surfaced these language requests.
Their original PRs may now be closed as superseded with credit.
* feat(dashboard-i18n): add 14 web dashboard locales matching the static catalog
Brings the React dashboard (web/src/) up to the same 16-language
coverage the static catalog already has after the previous commits in
this PR. The Translations interface is TypeScript-typed, so every new
locale must provide every key — tsc -b is the parity guard.
Languages added (each is a complete 429-line locale file):
- af Afrikaans
- ja Japanese (PR #22513 by @snuffxxx surfaced this)
- de German (PR #21749 by @mag1art)
- es Spanish (PR #21749)
- fr French (PRs #21749, #10310 by @foXaCe)
- tr Turkish
- uk Ukrainian
- ko Korean (PRs #21749, #18894 by @ovstng, #22285 by @project820)
- it Italian
- ga Irish (Gaeilge)
- zh-hant Traditional Chinese (PR #13140 by @anomixer)
- pt Portuguese (PRs #22063 by @Magaav, #22182 by @wesleysimplicio, #15737 by @carloshenriquecarniatto)
- ru Russian (PRs #21749, #22770 by @DrMaks22)
- hu Hungarian (PR #22336 by @lunasec007)
Each translation covers all 15 namespaces with full key parity vs en.ts,
preserves every {placeholder} token verbatim, keeps identifiers
untranslated (brand names, file paths, cron expressions, code spans),
translates the language.switchTo tooltip into the target language, and
matches existing tone conventions (zh-hant uses TW/HK vocab; ja uses
formal desu/masu; ko uses formal seumnida register; ga uses An
Caighdean Oifigiuil with English loanwords for tech vocab without good
Irish equivalents).
Plumbing:
- web/src/i18n/types.ts: Locale union expanded to all 16 codes.
- web/src/i18n/context.tsx: imports all 16 catalogs; exports
LOCALE_META (endonym + flag per locale); isLocale() type guard.
- web/src/i18n/index.ts: re-export LOCALE_META.
- web/src/components/LanguageSwitcher.tsx: replaced two-state EN-ZH
toggle with a click-to-open dropdown listing all 16 languages.
Note: zh-hant.ts exports zhHant (camelCase) since hyphen is invalid in
a JS identifier; the canonical 'zh-hant' string keys it in TRANSLATIONS.
Validation:
- npx tsc -b: 0 errors. Every locale satisfies Translations.
- npm run build (tsc + vite production): green, 2062 modules.
- Each locale file is exactly 429 lines.
Out of scope: plugin dashboards (kanban/achievements ship as prebuilt
bundles with no source in repo); Docusaurus docs (separate surface);
TUI (no i18n yet).
* feat(plugin-i18n): localize achievements + kanban plugin dashboards across all 16 locales
Brings the two shipped plugin dashboards (hermes-achievements, kanban)
under the same i18n umbrella as the core dashboard PR #22914 just
established. Both bundles now read user-facing strings from the host's
i18n catalog via SDK.useI18n() instead of hardcoded English.
## Approach
Plugin dashboards ship as prebuilt IIFE bundles in
plugins/<name>/dashboard/dist/index.js — no build step, no source in
repo (upstream-authored, vendored as compiled JS). Earlier contributor
PRs (#22594, #22595, #18747) tried direct edits but didn't actually
wire the bundles to read translations.
This change does the wiring properly:
1. Each bundle gets a useI18n shim at IIFE scope:
const useI18n = SDK.useI18n
|| function () { return { t: { kanban: null }, locale: "en" }; };
Older host SDKs without useI18n still load the bundle and render
English fallbacks.
2. A small tx(t, path, fallback, vars) helper resolves dotted keys
under the plugin's namespace (t.kanban.* or t.achievements.*) and
interpolates {placeholder} tokens.
3. Every React component starts with const { t } = useI18n() and
each user-visible string is wrapped in tx(t, "key", "English fallback").
Helpers called outside React components (window.prompt callers,
constants used during init) take t as a parameter.
4. Top-level constants that were English dictionaries (COLUMN_LABEL,
COLUMN_HELP, DESTRUCTIVE_TRANSITIONS, DIAGNOSTIC_EVENT_LABELS in
kanban) become getColumnLabel(t, status)-style functions backed by
FALLBACK_* dictionaries.
## Translations added
Two new top-level namespaces added to the dashboard's TypeScript-typed
Translations interface:
- achievements: ~70 keys covering the hero, scan banner, achievement
card, share dialog, stats, filters, and empty states.
- kanban: ~145 keys covering the board, columns (with nested
columnLabels and columnHelp sub-dicts), card detail panel,
bulk-actions toolbar, dependency editor, board switcher, and
diagnostic callouts.
Each key is provided across all 16 supported locales:
en, zh, zh-hant, ja, de, es, fr, tr, uk, af, ko, it, ga, pt, ru, hu.
Total new translation entries: ~3,440 (215 keys × 16 locales).
## What stays English (deliberate)
- API paths, CSS class names, data-* attributes, JSON keys, regex
strings, URLs, file paths (~/.hermes/kanban.db, boards/_archived/).
- State identifier strings used as lookup keys (triage / todo / ready /
running / blocked / done / archived) — labels translate, key strings
don't.
- The PNG share-card text rendered to canvas in the achievements
ShareDialog (HERMES AGENT watermark, UNLOCKED stamp, tier names) —
these become part of a globally-shared image and stay English.
- localStorage keys (hermes.kanban.selectedBoard).
- Brand names (Kanban, Hermes, WebSocket, Nous Research).
## Contributor credit
PR #22594 by @02356abc and PR #22595 by @02356abc supplied the
en + zh kanban namespace skeleton (145 keys); used as the en source-
of-truth in this commit and translated to the other 14 locales.
PR #18747 by @laolaoshiren first surfaced the achievements
localization request.
## Validation
- npx tsc -b: 0 errors. All 16 locale .ts files satisfy the
Translations type with full key parity.
- npm run build (tsc + vite production build): green, 2062 modules,
1.56MB JS / 95KB CSS, ~2.5s build.
- node --check on both plugin bundles: parse cleanly.
- 126 tx() call sites in kanban, 46 in achievements.
## Out of scope
- TUI (ui-tui/) has no i18n infrastructure yet.
- Docusaurus docs (website/i18n/) — already had zh-Hans; expanding
is a separate translation workstream (Thai / Korean / Hindi PRs).
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm
Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.
New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured
Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.
Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override
Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.
Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
/receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.
Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
and json_schema modes
* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing
The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.
Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.
No code change.
* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output
The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:
- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
/paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
structured or not.'
The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'
No code change.
* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs
The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).
New shape mirrors the host's main config:
ctx.llm.complete(
messages=[...],
provider='openrouter', # gated, optional
model='openai/gpt-4o-mini', # gated, optional
profile='work', # gated, optional
...
)
Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.
Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.
Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates
Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.
* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core
Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:
1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:
- explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
- response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
- falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
active main provider/model
- 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty
Live verified: zero-config call now records
provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
instead of provider='auto', model='default'.
2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
sync-hook + sync-llm path.
3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
externally.
Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.
* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo
Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:
- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit
A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).
Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo
Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.
Follow-up to the previous commit's middleware fix.
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py: rewrite the "Security note"
docstring. The previous text said "/api/plugins/ is unauthenticated by
design" — that's now actively wrong and dangerously misleading. New
text explains that plugin routes flow through the same session-token
middleware as core API routes and that --host 0.0.0.0 is safe to use
on a LAN as a result.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: extend TestPluginAPIAuth to cover
the surfaces the original PR didn't pin:
* test_plugin_route_allows_auth now exercises a real plugin path
(/api/plugins/example/hello) instead of accepting 200 OR 404 from
a maybe-loaded kanban plugin — the assertion was effectively vacuous.
* test_plugin_patch_requires_auth + test_plugin_delete_requires_auth
cover non-GET mutation methods in case a future regression
whitelists them by accident.
* test_non_kanban_plugin_route_requires_auth proves the fix is
plugin-agnostic, not kanban-specific (hits hermes-achievements +
a non-existent plugin namespace; both 401 before route resolution).
* test_plugin_websocket_unaffected_by_http_middleware locks in that
the HTTP middleware change didn't accidentally start gating WS
upgrades — kanban /events still uses its own ?token= check.
Plus a cosmetic blank-line cleanup.
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin
Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.
Highlights merged into one plugin:
- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
/stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
`label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for `⚡ Interrupting`, `⏳ Queued`, etc. —
busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
`tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
`HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
`deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
bind the same channel.
Validation

Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,
#14988, #8398) by superseding them with a single plugin-form
implementation that takes the best idea from each.

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern
Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.
Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)
Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.
Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

Pick openrouter/pareto-code as your model and OpenRouter auto-routes each
request to the cheapest model meeting your coding-quality bar (ranked by
Artificial Analysis). The new openrouter.min_coding_score config key (0.0-1.0,
default 0.65) tunes the floor.
- hermes_cli/models.py: add openrouter/pareto-code to OPENROUTER_MODELS so
it shows up in the picker with a description
- hermes_cli/config.py: add openrouter.min_coding_score (default 0.65 — lands
on a mid-tier coder on the current Pareto frontier)
- plugins/model-providers/openrouter: emit extra_body.plugins =
[{id: pareto-router, min_coding_score: X}] when model is openrouter/pareto-code
AND the score is a valid float in [0.0, 1.0]
- agent/transports/chat_completions.py: same emission on the legacy flag
path (when no provider profile is loaded)
- run_agent.py: openrouter_min_coding_score kwarg + storage; plumbed into
both build_kwargs() invocations and the context-summary extra_body path
- cli.py: read openrouter.min_coding_score once at init, validate float in
[0,1], pass to AIAgent constructions (CLI + background-task paths)
- cron/scheduler.py, batch_runner.py, tools/delegate_tool.py,
tui_gateway/server.py: propagate the kwarg (mirrors providers_order
plumbing — subagents inherit, cron/batch read from config)
- tests: profile-level + transport-level coverage of the model gating,
unset/empty/out-of-range handling, and the legacy flag path
- docs: new 'OpenRouter Pareto Code Router' section in providers.md
Verified end-to-end against api.openrouter.ai: at score=0.65 we land on a
mid-tier coder, at omission we get the strongest. Score is silently dropped
on any model other than openrouter/pareto-code, so it's safe to leave set.
Same pattern as the google_chat lazy-load (PR #22681), applied to the
Teams plugin. The bundled `plugins/platforms/teams/adapter.py` did
`import httpx` at module top, which dragged the entire httpx +
httpcore stack into every process that triggered plugin discovery —
including `hermes` invocations that never instantiate the Teams
adapter.
`httpx` is only needed inside one method
(`TeamsMeetingPipeline._write_summary_via_incoming_webhook`), and the
`httpx.AsyncBaseTransport` parameter annotation is already string-only
thanks to the existing `from __future__ import annotations`. Move the
runtime import inside the method.
Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D):
teams plugin alone: 118 → 89 ms (-25%)
46 → 38 MB (-17%)
import cli (full): unchanged
import model_tools: unchanged
The full-CLI numbers are flat because httpx is loaded transitively
from many other modules on that path. The microbench win is the real
signal: 29 ms / 8 MB shaved off any process that touches the teams
plugin without otherwise pulling httpx — primarily future workflows
where the gateway is enabled but Teams is not configured.
Tests: 44/44 `tests/gateway/test_teams.py` pass; 345 across all
plugin-platform suites (teams + qqbot + google_chat). The test file
imports `httpx` itself for the `MockTransport` fixture, which is
correct — tests legitimately use httpx, only the plugin's module-level
import was the issue.
Pass session_id through to provider profile build_api_kwargs_extras so
the OpenRouter profile can attach an xAI cache-affinity header
(x-grok-conv-id: <session-id>) for x-ai/grok-* models. xAI prompt
cache requires server affinity via this header — without it the cache
is poisoned and Grok prompt-cache hit rates drop dramatically on
multi-turn sessions.
Carve-out of #22708 by Ninso112. The original PR bundled a /diff
slash command, a zsh completion fix (already on main via #22802),
and holographic memory null-guards. This salvage keeps just the
Grok header work — small, targeted, and well-tested. Other
contributors and changes preserved for separate review.
Closes#22705.
The xAI /v1/images/generations endpoint expects resolution as a
literal string ('1k' or '2k'), not the numeric value ('1024').
- Change _XAI_RESOLUTIONS from a dict mapping to a validation set
- Use the resolution key directly instead of the mapped value
- Fall back to DEFAULT_RESOLUTION on invalid config values
Fixes 422 Unprocessable Entity errors when resolution was sent.
Plugin discovery imports every bundled platform plugin at model_tools
import time. The google_chat adapter unconditionally pulled in
google.cloud.pubsub_v1, googleapiclient, grpc, httplib2, and friends at
module top — about 33 MB RSS and 110 ms wall on every CLI invocation,
even ones that never construct a gateway adapter.
Wrap the heavy imports in _load_google_modules(): an idempotent loader
that rebinds the module-level globals (pubsub_v1, service_account,
HttpError, MediaFileUpload, …) on first call and is invoked from
GoogleChatAdapter.__init__, connect(), and check_google_chat_requirements().
The HttpError = Exception placeholder is preserved for the brief window
before the loader runs, so 'except HttpError as exc:' clauses stay
correct (Python looks up the name at try/except evaluation time, not
at function definition time).
Measured impact on a 9950X3D, 7-run medians:
import cli: 895 → 787 ms (-108 ms / -12%)
133 → 110 MB ( -23 MB / -17%)
import model_tools: 491 → 400 ms ( -91 ms / -19%)
95 → 66 MB ( -29 MB / -31%)
google_chat alone: 244 → 132 ms (-112 ms / -46%)
83 → 50 MB ( -33 MB / -40%)
hermes chat -q (cold): 177 → 145 MB ( -32 MB / -18%)
Real-world win lands on every path that imports cli.py: hermes chat,
hermes gateway, cron jobs, batch runs, subagents. Long-lived gateway
processes save ~30 MB resident.
All 157 google_chat tests pass; full gateway suite (5050 tests) green.
Plugin platforms (IRC, Teams, Google Chat) currently fail with
`No live adapter for platform '<name>'` when a `deliver=<plugin>` cron
job runs in a separate process from the gateway, even though the
platforms are eligible cron targets via `cron_deliver_env_var` (added
in #21306). Built-in platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) use
direct REST helpers in `tools/send_message_tool.py` so cron can deliver
without holding the gateway in the same process; plugin platforms
historically depended on `_gateway_runner_ref()` which returns `None`
out of process.
This change adds an optional `standalone_sender_fn` field to
`PlatformEntry` so plugins can register an ephemeral send path that
opens its own connection, sends, and closes without needing the live
adapter. The dispatch site in `_send_via_adapter` falls through to the
hook when the gateway runner is unavailable, with a descriptive error
when neither path applies. The hook is optional, so existing plugins
are unaffected.
Reference migrations land in the same change for IRC, Teams, and
Google Chat, exercising the hook across stdlib (asyncio + IRC protocol),
Bot Framework OAuth client_credentials, and Google service-account
flows respectively.
Security hardening on the new code paths:
* IRC: control-character stripping on chat_id and message body to
block CRLF command injection; bounded nick-collision retries; JOIN
before PRIVMSG so channels with the default `+n` mode accept the
delivery.
* Teams: TEAMS_SERVICE_URL validated against an allowlist of known
Bot Framework hosts (`smba.trafficmanager.net`,
`smba.infra.gov.teams.microsoft.us`) to block SSRF; chat_id and
tenant_id constrained to the documented Bot Framework character set;
per-request timeouts so a slow STS endpoint cannot starve the
activity POST.
* Google Chat: chat_id and thread_id validated against strict
resource-name regexes; service-account refresh wrapped in
`asyncio.wait_for` so a hung token endpoint cannot stall the
scheduler.
Test coverage: 20 new tests covering happy path, missing-config errors,
network failure modes, and each defensive validation. Existing tests
unchanged. `bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py tests/gateway/test_teams.py
tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py` reports 341 passed, 0 regressions.
Documentation: new "Out-of-process cron delivery" section in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md and an entry
in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md naming the hook.
Adds five regression tests for the Format 3 (Cloud Run relay) envelope
path:
- test_relay_flat_honors_declared_sender_type_bot: BOT sender_type
propagates to msg['sender']['type'].
- test_relay_flat_defaults_sender_type_human_when_absent: backward
compat \u2014 missing field still flows as HUMAN.
- test_relay_flat_coerces_unknown_sender_type_to_human: defensive
coercion \u2014 strip+upper normalizes whitespace/case, anything outside
{HUMAN, BOT} falls back to HUMAN.
- test_relay_flat_bot_sender_is_filtered_end_to_end: end-to-end
through _on_pubsub_message \u2014 a relay envelope with sender_type=BOT
is dropped by the BOT self-filter without dispatch.
- test_relay_flat_human_sender_dispatches: end-to-end negative
control \u2014 human relay envelopes still reach the agent loop.
Also clarifies the operator contract in the adapter comment: the
relay must forward upstream sender.type as envelope.sender_type,
otherwise bot replies forwarded as HUMAN cannot be distinguished
from genuine humans by this filter.
SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems. Upstream
documents this explicitly:
https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode
On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
- /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
available.' with no cause
- gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
- kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
(duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)
Changes:
- hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
WARNING explaining why
- hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():

closes#22032
OpenViking 0.3.x requires X-OpenViking-Account and X-OpenViking-User headers for ROOT API key requests to tenant-scoped APIs. Previously the `!="default"` guard skipped these headers when account/user were the literal string "default", causing INVALID_ARGUMENT errors.
Remove the `!="default"` guard so headers are sent whenever account/user are truthy. Empty strings are still correctly skipped since `""` is falsy.
Update tests to reflect the new behavior:
- test_viking_client_headers_send_tenant_when_default: asserts "default" headers ARE present
- test_viking_client_headers_send_tenant_when_empty_falls_back_to_default: asserts "default" headers ARE present from constructor fallback
Based on #21775 by @happy5318
## Why
Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:
- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.
This commit does three things:
1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.
## What changed
### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)
Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.
### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`
Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.
### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)
- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
`# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`
### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)
Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:
1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode
Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
`shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds
### 5. CI integration
A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:
```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
push:
branches: [main]
pull_request:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-python@v5
with: {python-version: "3.11"}
- run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```
### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion
Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.
### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)
- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
`encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
tool subprocess management → annotated with
`# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)
## Verification
```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).
$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```
Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.
On Windows, Python's ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` is NOT a no-op. CPython's
implementation (``Modules/posixmodule.c::os_kill_impl``) treats sig=0
as ``CTRL_C_EVENT`` because the two integer values collide at the C
layer, and routes it through ``GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`` —
which sends a Ctrl+C to the ENTIRE console process group containing
the target PID, not just the PID itself. Any caller that wanted to
check "is PID X alive" via the classic POSIX ``os.kill(pid, 0)``
idiom was silently killing that process (and often unrelated
processes in the same console group) on Windows. Long-standing
Python Windows quirk; see bpo-14484 (open since 2012).
This manifested in Hermes as: every ``hermes gateway status``
invocation would read the gateway's PID from the PID file, call
``os.kill(pid, 0)`` via ``gateway.status.get_running_pid()`` as a
"liveness check", and instantly terminate the gateway it was trying
to report on. No shutdown log, no traceback, no atexit hook fire,
no exit-diag entry — just silent termination of the detached pythonw
process. "Bot answered one message then stopped typing" was the
characteristic end-user symptom because `os.kill(pid, 0)` fires
mid-response-send and kills the gateway between logs.
Reproduction (verified in this branch before the fix):
$ hermes gateway start # gateway alive, PID 37520
$ hermes gateway status # reports "No gateway process detected"
$ tasklist /FI "PID eq 37520" # INFO: No tasks are running
# — gateway terminated silently
Root-cause fix is a new ``gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`` helper:
- On Windows: Win32 ``OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION |
SYNCHRONIZE, False, pid)`` + ``WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)``
via ctypes. Zero signal delivery, zero console-group side effects.
Pins ctypes return types to avoid DWORD-vs-signed-int parse bugs
on WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x102). Distinguishes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
(PID gone) from ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (alive but another user).
- On POSIX: the canonical ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` idiom that actually is
a no-op there.
Then patch every ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` liveness-check callsite to
route through ``_pid_exists`` instead. Total 14 callsites across
11 files; every single one was a latent silent-kill on Windows:
gateway/run.py:2810 — /restart watcher (inline subprocess)
gateway/run.py:15195 — --replace wait loop
gateway/status.py:572 — acquire_gateway_runtime_lock stale check
gateway/status.py:828 — get_running_pid (THE killer for status)
gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py:111
hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 522, 1012 — gateway-related drain loops
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2826 — _pid_alive was claiming to
be cross-platform but used
os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows
hermes_cli/main.py:5792 — CLI process-kill polling
hermes_cli/profiles.py:782 — profile stop wait loop
plugins/google_meet/process_manager.py:74
tools/browser_tool.py:1215, 1255 — browser daemon ownership probes
tools/mcp_tool.py:1255, 3374 — MCP stdio orphan tracking
The watcher source in gateway/run.py:2810 is a multi-line string
that gets spawned as an inline ``python -c "..."`` subprocess, so
it can't import gateway.status. The fix for that callsite inlines
the same ctypes probe directly into the watcher source.
Tested on Windows 10 with the hermes gateway + Telegram bot:
- gateway start → alive
- 5 consecutive ``hermes gateway status`` invocations → gateway
alive after every one, same PID reported each time (37520, 21952)
- gateway.log shows uninterrupted operation; no spurious shutdown
entries; cron ticker and kanban dispatcher still running on
their 60-second cadence
- bot continues answering Telegram messages throughout
Ships alongside an exit-path diagnostic wrapper in
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::run_gateway()`` that captures every way
``asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`` can return (success, SystemExit,
KeyboardInterrupt, BaseException, atexit) with full traceback to
``logs/gateway-exit-diag.log``. This was used to prove the gateway
was being hard-killed externally (no exit event fired) and should
be kept for future Windows debugging.

Two salvage follow-ups on top of @dlkakbs's plugin runtime.
1. Install a drop-scheduler when the runtime fails to build.
Previously when ``build_pipeline_runtime()`` raised (e.g. missing
Graph env vars, subscription store path unwritable), ``bind_gateway_runtime``
logged a warning and returned False, leaving the msgraph_webhook
adapter with no scheduler at all. Incoming Graph notifications
would then fall back to the adapter's default ``handle_message``
path, which produces a raw JSON dump as a user-role message — not
useful and fires every time Graph retries.
Now a no-op drop-scheduler is installed instead, so:
- Graph notifications ack cleanly (202) so Graph stops retrying.
- The failure is surfaced once in the log with the error.
- No user-role messages get manufactured from raw change payloads.
The adapter is still bindable later once the runtime becomes
available (e.g. after the operator runs ``hermes teams-pipeline
validate`` and fixes the config), since the gateway's
``_teams_pipeline_runtime`` sentinel wasn't set to a non-None value.
2. Test wiring for ``_teams_pipeline_plugin_enabled()`` gate.
The happy-path runner-wiring tests monkeypatched ``bind_gateway_runtime``
but not ``_load_gateway_config``. In the hermetic test environment
the real config read ran, saw no enabled plugins, and short-circuited
the bind call before the test could observe it — so the test
expected ``calls == [runner]`` but got ``calls == []``.
Adds a ``_load_gateway_config`` monkeypatch with
``plugins.enabled = ["teams_pipeline"]`` to the happy-path tests.
The explicit-disabled test ``test_gateway_runner_skips_wiring_when_teams_pipeline_plugin_disabled``
already patches the config correctly.
Also renames ``test_bind_gateway_runtime_leaves_scheduler_unchanged_on_failure``
to ``test_bind_gateway_runtime_installs_drop_scheduler_on_failure``
and updates the assertion — this test contradicted the drop-scheduler
test in ``tests/plugins/test_teams_pipeline_plugin.py`` which
expected the scheduler to be installed. The plugin-test name
(``test_bind_gateway_runtime_drops_notifications_when_unavailable``)
clearly describes the intended behavior; fixing the wiring-test
assertion aligns both tests.
Validation:
- ``scripts/run_tests.sh tests/plugins/test_teams_pipeline_plugin.py
tests/gateway/test_teams_pipeline_runtime_wiring.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_teams_pipeline_plugin_cli.py`` — 25/25 passed.
Third slice of the Microsoft Teams meeting pipeline stack, salvaged
onto current main. Adds the standalone teams_pipeline plugin that
consumes Graph change notifications from the webhook listener,
resolves meeting artifacts (transcript first, recording + STT fallback
later), persists job state in a durable store, and exposes an operator
CLI for inspection, replay, subscription management, and validation.
Design choices follow maintainer review feedback on PR #19815:
- Standalone plugin rather than bolted-on core surface
(plugins/teams_pipeline/, kind: standalone in plugin.yaml).
- Zero new model tools. The agent drives the pipeline by invoking
the operator CLI via the terminal tool, guided by the skill that
ships with a follow-up PR.
- Reuses the existing msgraph_webhook gateway platform for Graph
ingress. Pipeline runtime is wired in via bind_gateway_runtime and
gated on plugins.enabled so gateways that don't run the plugin
boot cleanly.
Additions:
- plugins/teams_pipeline/: runtime (gateway wiring + config builder),
pipeline core, durable SQLite store, subscription maintenance
helpers, Graph artifact resolution, operator CLI (list, show,
run/replay, fetch dry-run, subscriptions list, subscribe,
renew-subscription, delete-subscription, maintain-subscriptions,
token-health, validate).
- hermes_cli/main.py: second-pass plugin CLI discovery so any
standalone plugin registered via ctx.register_cli_command()
outside the memory-plugin convention path gets its subcommand
wired into argparse without touching core.
- gateway/run.py: _teams_pipeline_plugin_enabled() config gate,
_wire_teams_pipeline_runtime() binding after adapter setup, and
the two runner attributes used by the runtime.

The previous revision of this PR added six GMI-specific branches
(`elif base_url_host_matches(..., 'api.gmi-serving.com')`) across
run_agent.py and agent/auxiliary_client.py, plus a _HERMES_UA_HEADERS
constant in auxiliary_client.py.
ProviderProfile already has a `default_headers: dict[str, str]` field
commented as 'Client-level quirks (set once at client construction)'.
Other plugins (ai-gateway, kimi-coding) already use it. Two of the four
auxiliary_client sites we previously patched already had a generic
`else: profile.default_headers` fallback that picked it up (so did
both run_agent sites).
This revision:
* Sets `default_headers={'User-Agent': 'HermesAgent/<ver>'}` on the
GMI profile in plugins/model-providers/gmi/__init__.py.
* Reverts all six GMI-specific branches in run_agent.py and
auxiliary_client.py.
* Adds the generic profile-fallback `else` block to the two
auxiliary_client sites (`_to_async_client`, `resolve_provider_client`)
that didn't have it yet. This benefits every provider whose profile
declares default_headers, not just GMI — e.g. Vercel AI Gateway's
HTTP-Referer/X-Title now flow through the async client path too.
* Replaces the GMI-specific URL-branch tests with a profile-level
assertion and keeps the run_agent integration test (with
`provider='gmi'` so the fallback picks up the profile).
Net diff vs main: +82/-0 across 5 files, touching only the GMI plugin,
two generic fallback blocks in auxiliary_client.py, AUTHOR_MAP, and
tests. No core files change.

Makes first-time use of the kanban view self-explanatory. Every control
that wasn't already labelled now has a `title` tooltip describing what
it does, and a `?` icon next to the board switcher opens the kanban
docs page in a new tab.
Coverage:
- BoardSwitcher: board select, + New board button, docs-link icon
(both compact and full variants)
- BoardToolbar: Search, Tenant, Assignee, Show archived, Nudge
dispatcher, Refresh
- BulkActionBar: → ready, Complete, Archive, reassign group, Apply,
Clear
- Column header: hovering the header now surfaces COLUMN_HELP as a
tooltip in addition to the visible sub-text; column count also
labelled
- Card: task id, priority badge, tenant badge, assignee/unassigned,
comment count, link count, age timestamp
- InlineCreate: assignee, priority, parent-task selectors
Closes the community feedback from @CharlieDePew asking for tooltips
and a docs link in the kanban view.

* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks
The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.
`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.
Surface:
hermes kanban specify <task_id> # single task
hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T] # sweep triage column
hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME # audit-comment author
hermes kanban specify ... --json # one JSON line per task
Design choices:
- Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
- No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
- Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
strand a task in triage.
- All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
--all continues past individual failures.
Changes:
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py + specify_triage_task()
hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
hermes_cli/kanban.py + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
hermes_cli/config.py + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md specify + config notes
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md CLI reference entry
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py NEW (10 tests)
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py NEW (20 tests)
Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.
* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash
Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.
Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
- POST /tasks/:id/specify NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
- Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
tens of seconds on reasoning models.
- Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
- dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain. ✨ Specify button appears
ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
button using the response.reason text.
- dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.
Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
- Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.
Tests
- tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
missing aux client as ok=false 200.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.
Docs
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
description mentions ✨ Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.
Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.
Adopt the generic platform-plugin hooks landed in the preceding commit
so IRC and Teams get env-only config detection and cron home-channel
delivery without living in cron/scheduler.py's hardcoded sets.
IRC (plugins/platforms/irc/):
- adapter.py: new _env_enablement() seeds server, channel, port,
nickname, use_tls, server_password, nickserv_password, and a
home_channel dict into PlatformConfig on env-only setups.
IRC_HOME_CHANNEL defaults to IRC_CHANNEL so deliver=irc cron jobs
route to the joined channel by default.
- adapter.py: register_platform() gains env_enablement_fn=_env_enablement
and cron_deliver_env_var='IRC_HOME_CHANNEL'.
- plugin.yaml: rich requires_env / optional_env with description,
prompt, password, url for every IRC env var. Hardcoded IRC entries
in hermes_cli/config.py still win (back-compat), but the plugin now
carries its own metadata.
Teams (plugins/platforms/teams/):
- adapter.py: new _env_enablement() seeds client_id, client_secret,
tenant_id, port, and home_channel into PlatformConfig. Closes the
long-standing gap where TEAMS_HOME_CHANNEL was documented but never
wired up.
- adapter.py: register_platform() gains env_enablement_fn=_env_enablement
and cron_deliver_env_var='TEAMS_HOME_CHANNEL' — deliver=teams cron
jobs now work.
- plugin.yaml: rich requires_env / optional_env with description,
prompt, password, url for every Teams env var. Surfaces them in
'hermes config' UI for the first time (Teams had no OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
entries before this).
Zero behavior change for existing users: env_enablement_fn is only
called when env vars are set, and the registry's config-first-env-fallback
path in validate_config / is_connected is unchanged.
Adds Google Chat as a new gateway platform, shipped under
plugins/platforms/google_chat/ following the canonical bundled-plugin
pattern (Teams, IRC). Rewired from the original PR #18425 to use the
new env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var plugin interfaces landed
in the preceding commit, so the adapter touches ZERO core files.
What it does:
- Inbound DM + group messages via Cloud Pub/Sub pull subscription (no
public URL needed), with attachments (PDFs, images, audio, video)
downloaded through an SSRF-guarded Google-host allowlist.
- Outbound text replies with the 'Hermes is thinking…' patch-in-place
pattern — no tombstones.
- Native file attachment delivery via per-user OAuth. Google Chat's
media.upload endpoint rejects service-account auth, so each user
runs /setup-files once in their own DM to grant
chat.messages.create for themselves; the adapter then uploads as
them. Tokens stored per email at
~/.hermes/google_chat_user_tokens/<email>.json.
- Thread isolation: side-threads get isolated sessions, top-level DM
messages share one continuous session. Persistent thread-count
store survives gateway restart.
- Supervisor reconnect with exponential backoff.
- Multi-user out of the box.
How it plugs in (no core edits):
- env_enablement_fn seeds PlatformConfig.extra with project_id,
subscription_name, service_account_json, and the home_channel dict
(which the core hook turns into a HomeChannel dataclass). Reads
GOOGLE_CHAT_PROJECT_ID (falls back to GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT),
GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION_NAME (falls back to GOOGLE_CHAT_SUBSCRIPTION),
GOOGLE_CHAT_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON (falls back to
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS), GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL.
- cron_deliver_env_var='GOOGLE_CHAT_HOME_CHANNEL' gets cron delivery
for free — cron/scheduler.py consults the platform registry for any
name not in its hardcoded built-in sets.
- plugin.yaml's rich requires_env / optional_env blocks auto-populate
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS via the new hermes_cli/config.py injector, so
'hermes config' UI surfaces them with description / url / prompt /
password metadata.
- Module-level Platform('google_chat') call in adapter.py triggers the
Platform._missing_() registration so Platform.GOOGLE_CHAT attribute
access works without an enum entry.
Distribution: ships inside the existing hermes-agent package. Users
opt in via 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' and follow the
8-step GCP walkthrough at
website/docs/user-guide/messaging/google_chat.md.
Test coverage: 153 tests in tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py, all
passing. Spans platform registration, env config loading, Pub/Sub
envelope routing, outbound send + chunking + typing patch-in-place,
attachment send paths, SSRF guard, thread/session model,
supervisor reconnect, authorization, per-user OAuth, and the new
plugin-registry cron delivery wiring.

The original #21086 report was theme-accent opaque fills behind JSON
payload values in the Kanban Task Drawer's EVENTS section. The first
iteration of this fix was narrow — add ``!important`` to the specific
drawer/payload overrides. But "all themes" includes user-installable
themes we haven't written yet, and any theme doing the normal
``code { background: ... !important }`` dance would break this again.
Replace the whack-a-mole approach with a structural reset:
1. Inside ``.hermes-kanban`` (and the ``.hermes-kanban-drawer`` portal
container), reset EVERY ``<code>`` and ``<pre>`` to transparent
with ``!important``. This is the new default.
2. Opt back in ONLY on the classes that carry intentional pill
styling:
- ``.hermes-kanban .hermes-kanban-md code`` (inline code in task
Markdown body) — ``:not()`` scoped to exclude fenced blocks.
- ``.hermes-kanban pre.hermes-kanban-md-code`` (fenced block
wrapper) — higher specificity than the reset so it wins cleanly.
Net effect: any theme — shipped or third-party — can ship whatever
global ``code``/``pre`` rule it wants; kanban surfaces stay clean
unless the theme deliberately targets our internal class names, which
would be a conscious override rather than an accidental breakage.
Verified live against a hostile synthetic theme that paints
``code``, ``pre``, AND ``.hermes-kanban code`` / ``.hermes-kanban pre``
with ``background: !important`` fills. Every kanban surface stayed
correct (transparent where expected, intentional pill fill where
expected). Also verified across all 7 shipped themes by pointing a
headless browser at a live dashboard.
| Surface | Expected | Got |
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------|-------------------|
| Outside ``.hermes-kanban`` (sanity) | hostile fill | hostile fill ✓ |
| Drawer ``.hermes-kanban-event-payload`` (the bug) | transparent | transparent ✓ |
| Drawer bare ``<code>`` | transparent | transparent ✓ |
| Drawer bare ``<pre>`` | transparent | transparent ✓ |
| Markdown inline ``<code>`` | subtle pill | subtle pill ✓ |
| Markdown fenced block ``.hermes-kanban-md-code`` | subtle pill | subtle pill ✓ |
| Markdown fenced inner ``<code>`` | transparent | transparent ✓ |
Closes#21086.
The textarea conversion in the previous commit dropped Enter-to-submit
entirely, requiring a mouse click on Create for every single-line task.
Restore the common-case shortcut while preserving multiline entry:
- Enter (no modifier) submits the form
- Shift+Enter inserts a newline
- Escape still cancels
Matches the convention used by Slack, Discord, GitHub PR comment boxes.
- Changed Input component to native textarea for task creation
- Removed Enter-to-submit behavior (use Create button instead)
- Added proper styling: border, padding, rounded corners, focus ring
- 2-row default height with vertical resize and max-height cap
- Escape still cancels the form
Authenticated remote OpenViking servers derive tenancy from the Bearer
key, but the client was always sending X-OpenViking-Account and
X-OpenViking-User — defaulted to the literal string "default" — which
overrode the key-derived tenant and broke auth.
- _headers(): skip X-OpenViking-Account/-User when blank or "default"
(treats the legacy default value as unset, so existing installs don't
need to touch their .env)
- _headers(): send Authorization: Bearer <key> alongside X-API-Key for
standard HTTP auth compatibility
- health(): include auth headers so /health works against servers that
require authentication
Tests cover bearer emission, legacy "default" suppression, empty
suppression, real tenant passthrough, and authenticated health checks.
Fixes the same user report as #20695 (from @ZaynJarvis); that PR could
not be merged because its branch was stale against main and would have
reverted recent OpenViking work (#15696, local resource uploads, summary
URI normalization, fs-stat pre-check).
When the user created a new board via the dashboard with "switch" checked,
the server-side `current` file was flipped to the new board. Clicking the
original board's tab then showed no cards even though the count badge read
correctly — the REST fetch dropped `?board=` when the selection was
"default" and the backend fell through to `current` (= the new board),
returning a different board's data than the tab the user clicked.
Fix:
- `withBoard()` always appends `?board=<slug>` when a board is selected,
including "default". The dashboard's tab selection becomes authoritative
instead of silently deferring to the server's `current` file.
- `writeSelectedBoard()` persists every selection (including "default")
to localStorage. Previously "default" was stripped, which meant the
next page load had nothing to pin to and fell through to `current`.
- Same change applied to the WebSocket query builder in `openWs()`.
Contract verified live:
current_board = "proj2"
GET /board → proj2's tasks (bug shape: falls through to current)
GET /board?board=default → default's tasks (fix: explicit pin wins)
GET /board?board=proj2 → proj2's tasks
Closes#20879.
Stopping `hermes dashboard` with Ctrl-C while the Kanban dashboard is
open prints an ASGI traceback ending in
`plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py::stream_events` at the
`asyncio.sleep(_EVENT_POLL_SECONDS)` line. This is a normal shutdown
path: Uvicorn cancels the open websocket task while it is sleeping in
the 300 ms poll loop. `asyncio.CancelledError` is a `BaseException` in
Python 3.8+ — the bare `except Exception:` handler below the existing
`WebSocketDisconnect:` clause does NOT catch it, so the cancellation
surfaces as an application traceback and routine dashboard exit looks
like a runtime failure.
Add an explicit `except asyncio.CancelledError: return` clause beside
the existing `WebSocketDisconnect` handler. Disconnection (client
closed the tab) and shutdown cancellation (dashboard process exiting)
are conceptually different paths but both warrant a quiet return; the
two clauses are kept separate to keep that intent explicit.
`asyncio` is already imported and used in this scope, so no new
import is needed. The bare `except Exception:` handler is preserved
verbatim, so genuine runtime failures still log a warning and close
the socket cleanly.
Closes#20790.
The Nous DS globals.css applies a global rule:
code { background: var(--midground); color: var(--background); }
This paints an opaque cream/yellow fill on every <code> element,
which hides text in the kanban drawer's event-payload, run-meta,
and worker-log panes (all rendered as <code>).
Fix: scope a reset inside .hermes-kanban so <code> elements inherit
their parent's color and stay transparent.
The kanban-worker skill (built into the gateway dispatcher's spawn
prompt) instructs every worker to hand off via
``kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)``. That writes the summary
onto the closing ``task_runs`` row, NOT onto ``tasks.result`` — the
latter is left NULL unless the caller passes ``result=`` explicitly.
Result: a glance at the dashboard or ``hermes kanban show <id>`` shows
a blank "Result:" section even when the worker did real work, which
on 2026-05-05 caused a Mac false-alarm ("Hermes did nothing") on a
task that had a 10-line completion summary on its run.
This patch surfaces the latest non-null run summary as
``latest_summary`` so the worker's actual handoff lands in front of
operators.
* New helpers ``kanban_db.latest_summary(conn, task_id)`` and
``kanban_db.latest_summaries(conn, task_ids)``. The batch variant
uses a single window-function SELECT so the dashboard board endpoint
doesn't pay an N+1 cost on multi-hundred-task boards.
* CLI ``hermes kanban show <id>`` prints a "Latest summary:" block
when ``tasks.result`` is empty but a run has produced a summary
(the existing "Result:" section still wins when populated, so the
back-compat path for hand-edited results is untouched). JSON output
gains a top-level ``latest_summary`` field.
* Dashboard ``/board`` and ``/tasks/{id}`` now include a
``latest_summary`` field on every task. Cards on /board carry a
200-character preview (cheap to render, plenty for "what did this
worker do?" at a glance); the drawer/detail endpoint returns the
full summary.
* Five new tests cover: empty-runs case, post-complete surface,
newest-of-multiple selection, empty-string skip, batch with
missing tasks + empty input.
Smoke-tested locally against the live profile DB on the three
acceptance-criterion targets (t_f08fef91 cron-hygiene-audit,
t_007b7f1c EMA-analysis, t_05746fa4 self-assessment) — all three now
return their populated summaries via both ``latest_summary`` and
``latest_summaries``.
Test plan: 255/255 kanban tests pass + 91/91 dashboard plugin tests
pass. No regression on tasks where ``tasks.result`` is explicitly
populated (the existing "Result:" branch is preserved).

Add parent dependency guard to _set_status_direct so dragging
a task to the ready column is rejected (409) when its parents
are not all done. Previously the guard only existed in
recompute_ready, allowing direct status writes via the
dashboard API to bypass the dependency engine.
Root cause: after reclaiming stale workers, both T3 and T4
were set to ready via dashboard status writes in quick
succession, causing the writer to be spawned while the analyst
was blocked — upstream work wasn't done yet.
Mirrors the pattern already shipping in hindsight-integrations/openclaw:
probe `<api_url>/version` once per process, gate on Hindsight ≥ 0.5.0.
When supported, retains use a stable session-scoped `document_id`
(`session_id`) plus `update_mode='append'` so cross-process retains for
the same session merge into one document instead of producing
N-different-process-stamped duplicates. When unsupported (or probe
fails), fall back to the existing per-process unique
`f"{session_id}-{start_ts}"` document_id with no `update_mode` — the
resume-overwrite fix (#6654) keeps working unchanged on legacy servers.
Closes the dedup half of #20115. The proposed `document_id_strategy`
config knob isn't needed: auto-detection via the same /version probe
the OpenClaw plugin already uses gives the same outcome with no extra
config burden, and the choice is purely a function of what the server
can do.
Plumbing
--------
- Module-level helpers (`_meets_minimum_version`, `_fetch_hindsight_api_version`,
`_check_api_supports_update_mode_append`) cache the result per api_url
so every provider in the process gets one /version round-trip.
- One-time WARN logged when the API is older than 0.5.0, telling the
user to upgrade for cross-session deduplication.
- New instance helper `_resolve_retain_target(fallback_doc_id)` returns
`(document_id, update_mode)` based on cached capability. Wired into
`sync_turn` and the `on_session_switch` flush path.
- For local_embedded mode, the probe URL is taken from the running
client (`client.url`) so we hit the actual daemon port rather than
the configured default.
- `update_mode` is set on the per-item dict; `aretain_batch` already
threads `item['update_mode']` into the API call.
Tests
-----
- `TestUpdateModeAppendCapability` (5 cases): legacy fallback, modern
stable+append, per-url cache, one-time warn, flush-on-switch resolves
against the OLD session.
- Existing `_make_hindsight_provider` factory in the manager-side test
file extended to seed `_mode`/`_api_url`/`_api_key`/`_client` and stub
`_resolve_retain_target` so the bypass-init pattern keeps working.
E2E verified against installed `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`:
- Legacy probe (unreachable host) → `legacy-session-<ts>` doc_id,
no `update_mode`.
- Modern probe (live local_embedded 0.5.6 daemon) → stable
`modern-session` doc_id + `update_mode='append'`.
- `test_hermes_embedded_smoke.py` passes (90s).
Every provider profile is now a self-contained plugin under
plugins/model-providers/<name>/, mirroring the plugins/platforms/
pattern established for IRC and Teams. The ProviderProfile ABC
stays in providers/; the per-provider profile data moves out.
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/__init__.py calls register_provider()
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/plugin.yaml declares kind: model-provider
- providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() lazily scans bundled plugins
then $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (user override path)
- User plugins with the same name override bundled ones (last-writer-wins
in register_provider)
- Legacy providers/<name>.py layout still supported for back-compat with
out-of-tree editable installs
- Hermes PluginManager: new kind=model-provider; skipped like memory
plugins (providers/ discovery owns them); standalone plugins with
register_provider+ProviderProfile in their __init__.py auto-coerce to
this kind (same heuristic as memory providers)
- skip_names extended to include 'model-providers' so the general
PluginManager doesn't double-scan the category
- 4 new tests in tests/providers/test_plugin_discovery.py covering
bundled discovery, user override, and general-loader isolation
- Docs updated: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md,
provider-runtime.md, providers/README.md, plugins/model-providers/README.md
No API break: auth.py / config.py / doctor.py / models.py / runtime_provider.py /
model_metadata.py / auxiliary_client.py / chat_completions.py / run_agent.py
all still consume providers via get_provider_profile() / list_providers() —
they just now see plugin-discovered entries instead of pkgutil-iterated ones.
Third parties can now drop a single directory into
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ to add or override an inference
provider without touching the repo.
* feat(kanban): generic diagnostics engine for task distress signals
Replaces the hallucination-specific ``warnings`` / ``RecoverySection``
surface (shipped in PR #20232) with a reusable diagnostic-rule engine
that covers five distress kinds in v1 and can be extended without
touching UI code. The "something's wrong with this task" signal is
no longer limited to phantom card ids.
Closes the follow-up from #20232 discussion.
New module
----------
``hermes_cli/kanban_diagnostics.py`` — stateless, no-side-effect rule
engine. Each rule is a pure function of
``(task, events, runs, now, config) -> list[Diagnostic]``. Registry
is a simple list; adding a new distress kind is one function + one
import, no UI or API changes required.
v1 rule set
-----------
* ``hallucinated_cards`` (error) — folds the existing
``completion_blocked_hallucination`` event into the new surface.
* ``prose_phantom_refs`` (warning) — folds
``suspected_hallucinated_references``.
* ``repeated_spawn_failures`` (error → critical at 2x threshold) —
fires when ``tasks.spawn_failures >= 3``; suggests
``hermes -p <profile> doctor`` / ``auth``.
* ``repeated_crashes`` (error → critical) — fires after N consecutive
``crashed`` run outcomes with no successful completion between;
suggests ``hermes kanban log <id>``.
* ``stuck_in_blocked`` (warning) — fires after 24h in ``blocked``
state with no comments / unblock attempts; suggests commenting.
Every diagnostic carries structured ``actions`` (reclaim, reassign,
unblock, cli_hint, comment, open_docs) that render consistently in
both CLI and dashboard. Suggested actions are highlighted; generic
recovery actions (reclaim / reassign) are available on every kind as
fallbacks.
Diagnostics auto-clear when the underlying failure resolves — a
clean ``completed``/``edited`` event drops hallucination diagnostics,
a successful run drops crash diagnostics, a comment drops
stuck-blocked diagnostics. Audit events persist; the badge goes away.
API
---
``plugin_api.py``:
* ``/board`` now attaches ``diagnostics`` (full list) and
``warnings`` (compact summary with ``highest_severity``) per task.
* ``/tasks/{id}`` attaches diagnostics so the drawer's Diagnostics
section auto-opens on flagged tasks.
* NEW ``/diagnostics`` endpoint — fleet-wide listing, filterable by
severity, sorted critical-first.
CLI
---
* NEW ``hermes kanban diagnostics [--severity X] [--task id]
[--json]`` — fleet view or single-task view, matches dashboard rule
output so CLI users see the same picture.
* ``hermes kanban show <id>`` now renders a Diagnostics section near
the top with severity markers + suggested actions.
Dashboard
---------
* Card badge is severity-coloured (⚠ amber warning, !! orange error,
!!! red critical) using ``warnings.highest_severity``.
* Attention strip above the toolbar counts EVERY task with active
diagnostics (not just hallucinations), severity-coloured, lists
affected tasks with Open buttons when expanded.
* Drawer's old ``RecoverySection`` replaced with generic
``DiagnosticsSection`` rendering a card per active diagnostic:
title + detail + structured data (task-id chips when payload keys
look like id lists) + action buttons. Reassign profile picker is
inline per-diagnostic. Clipboard fallback uses ``.catch()`` for
environments where writeText rejects.
* Three-rung severity palette; amber for warning, orange for error,
red for critical. Uses CSS variables so theming is straightforward.
Tests
-----
* NEW ``tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_diagnostics.py`` — 14 unit tests
covering each rule's positive/negative/threshold paths, severity
sorting, broken-rule isolation, and sqlite3.Row integration.
* Dashboard plugin tests extended: ``/diagnostics`` endpoint (empty,
populated, severity-filtered), ``/board`` exposes both diagnostic
list and compact summary with ``highest_severity``.
* Existing hallucination-specific test (``test_board_surfaces_
warnings_field_for_hallucinated_completions``) updated to reflect
the new contract: warning summary keys by diagnostic kind
(``hallucinated_cards``) not event kind.
379 kanban-suite tests pass (+16 net from this PR).
Live verification
-----------------
Seeded all 5 diagnostic kinds + one clean + one plain-running task
(7 total) into an isolated HERMES_HOME, spun up the dashboard, and
verified:
* Attention strip: shows ``!! 5 tasks need attention`` in the
error-severity orange; Show expands to a list of 5 rows ordered
critical > error > warning.
* Card badges: error tasks render ``!!`` orange, warning tasks
render ``⚠`` amber, clean and plain-running tasks render no badge.
* Each of the 5 rules opens a correctly-coloured, correctly-styled
diagnostic card in the drawer with its specific suggested action.
* Live reassign from a diagnostic card flipped
``broken-ml-worker → alice`` and the drawer refreshed with the
new assignee + the same diagnostic still firing (correct:
spawn_failures counter hasn't reset yet).
* CLI ``hermes kanban diagnostics`` prints all 5 in severity order;
``--severity error`` narrows to 3; ``kanban show <id>`` includes
the Diagnostics block at the top with suggested action hint.
Migration note
--------------
The old ``warnings`` shape (``{count, kinds, latest_at}``) is
preserved on the API but ``kinds`` now keys by diagnostic kind
(``hallucinated_cards``) instead of event kind
(``completion_blocked_hallucination``). ``highest_severity`` is a
new required field. The dashboard was the only consumer and has
been updated in the same commit; external API consumers of the
``warnings`` field will need to update their kind-match logic.
* feat(kanban/diagnostics): lead titles with the actual error text
The generic 'Worker crashed N runs in a row' / 'Worker failed to spawn
N times' titles buried the actual cause in the data section. Operators
had to open logs or expand the diagnostic to see WHY the worker is
stuck — rate-limit vs insufficient quota vs bad auth vs context
overflow vs network blip all looked identical at a glance.
New titles:
Agent crashed 3x: openai: 429 Too Many Requests - rate limit reached
Agent crashed 3x: anthropic: 402 insufficient_quota - credit balance
Agent crashed 3x: provider auth error: 401 Unauthorized
Agent spawn failed 4x: insufficient_quota: You exceeded your current
Detail keeps the full error snippet (capped at 500 chars + ellipsis
for tracebacks). Title takes the first line capped at 160 chars.
Fallback title if no error recorded stays honest ('no error recorded').
Tests: 4 new cases covering 429/billing/spawn/truncation. 383 total
pass (+4).
Live-verified on dashboard with 6 seeded scenarios
(rate-limit, billing, auth, context, network, spawn-billing) —
each card title leads with the actionable error text.
Workers completing a kanban task can now claim the ids of cards they
created via an optional ``created_cards`` field on ``kanban_complete``.
The kernel verifies each id exists and was created by the completing
worker's profile; any phantom id blocks the completion with a
``HallucinatedCardsError`` and records a
``completion_blocked_hallucination`` event on the task so the rejected
attempt is auditable. Successful completions also get a non-blocking
prose-scan pass over their ``summary`` + ``result`` that emits a
``suspected_hallucinated_references`` event for any ``t_<hex>``
reference that doesn't resolve.
Closes#20017.
Recovery UX (kernel + CLI + dashboard)
--------------------------------------
A structural gate alone isn't enough — operators also need to see and
act on stuck workers, especially when a profile's model is the root
cause. This PR ships the full loop:
* ``kanban_db.reclaim_task(task_id)`` — operator-driven reclaim that
releases an active worker claim immediately (unlike
``release_stale_claims`` which only acts after claim_expires has
passed). Emits a ``reclaimed`` event with ``manual: True`` payload.
* ``kanban_db.reassign_task(task_id, profile, reclaim_first=...)`` —
switch a task to a different profile, optionally reclaiming a stuck
running worker in the same call.
* ``hermes kanban reclaim <id> [--reason ...]`` and
``hermes kanban reassign <id> <profile> [--reclaim] [--reason ...]``
CLI subcommands wired through to the same helpers.
* ``POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/{id}/reclaim`` and
``POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/{id}/reassign`` endpoints on the
dashboard plugin.
Dashboard surfacing
-------------------
* ⚠ **warning badge** on cards with active hallucination events.
* **attention strip** at the top of the board listing all flagged
tasks; dismissible per session.
* **events callout** in the task drawer — hallucination events render
with a red left border, amber icon, and phantom ids as styled chips.
* **recovery section** in the task drawer with three actions: Reclaim,
Reassign (with profile picker + reclaim-first checkbox), and a
copy-to-clipboard hint for ``hermes -p <profile> model`` since
profile config lives on disk and can't be edited from the browser.
Auto-opens when the task has warnings, collapsed otherwise.
Keyed by task id so state doesn't leak between drawers.
Active-vs-stale rule: warnings clear when a clean ``completed`` or
``edited`` event supersedes the hallucination, so recovery is never
permanently stigmatising — the audit events persist for debugging but
the badge goes away once the worker succeeds.
Skill updates
-------------
* ``skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md`` documents the
``created_cards`` contract with good/bad examples.
* ``skills/devops/kanban-orchestrator/SKILL.md`` gains a "Recovering
stuck workers" section with the three actions and when to use each.
Tests
-----
* Kernel gate: verified-cards manifest, phantom rejection + audit
event, cross-worker rejection, prose scan positive + negative.
* Recovery helpers: reclaim on running task, reclaim on non-running
returns False, reassign refuses running without reclaim_first,
reassign with reclaim_first succeeds on running.
* API endpoints: warnings field present on /board and /tasks/:id,
warnings cleared after clean completion, reclaim 200 + 409 paths,
reassign 200 + 409 + reclaim_first paths.
* CLI smoke: reclaim + reassign subcommands.
Live-verified end-to-end on a dashboard with seeded scenarios:
attention strip renders, badges land on the right cards, drawer
callout shows phantom chips, Reclaim on a running task flips status to
ready + emits manual reclaimed event + refreshes the drawer,
Reassign swaps the assignee and triggers board refresh.
359/359 kanban-suite tests pass
(test_kanban_{db,cli,boards,core_functionality} + dashboard + tools).
The user_message parameter was accepted by get_prefetch_context but intentionally discarded, with the rationale that passing it would
expose conversation content in server access logs.
This rationale is inconsistent: Honcho already persists every message in full via saveMessages. The content is already in the database. A search query in an access log adds negligible additional exposure, and is moot for self-hosted Honcho deployments where the operator owns the logs.
Without search_query, Honcho returns the full peer representation -
all observations, deductive/inductive layers, and peer card - in
insertion order. When contextTokens is set, the most useful parts
(peer card, dialectic conclusions) are truncated because raw
observations fill the budget first.
Passing user_message as search_query enables Honcho's semantic
retrieval to return only conclusions relevant to the current session
topic, reducing injection noise and improving context quality on cold starts.
The _fetch_peer_context method already accepts and passes search_query to the Honcho API. This change simply connects the two.
The previous bare except swallowed every exception from app.reply()
silently. Log at debug so real failures (auth, chat gone) leave a
trace while keeping the group-chat 400 fallback working. Also fix
the Teams entry's indentation in the messaging flowchart.
Group chats return 400 for threaded sends. Catch the error and
fall back to a flat send so messages always get delivered.

Follow-up polish to the kanban dashboard from #19864 and #19705.
**Home-channel toggle contrast.** The `.hermes-kanban-home-sub--on`
class previously used `color-mix(var(--color-ring) 14%, transparent)`
which was nearly invisible on both the default teal and NERV themes —
the on/off distinction relied almost entirely on the ✓ prefix glyph.
Bump to 32% fill + full-opacity ring border + inner ring shadow +
font-weight 600. Still theme-scoped (no hardcoded colors), but reads
at a glance on both tested themes.
**Drop the → running status action.** Since #19705, `PATCH /tasks/:id`
rejects `status=running` with HTTP 400 — only the dispatcher's
`claim_task` path legitimately enters that state (so the run row,
claim lock, and worker PID are created atomically). The UI button was
still present and produced a 400 on click, which is a confusing dead
affordance. Remove it from `StatusActions`; add a comment pointing to
#19535 so future editors know why it's missing.
Live-tested on the default Hermes Teal theme. 53/53 kanban dashboard
plugin tests still pass.
* revert: auto-subscribe gateway chat on tool-driven kanban_create (#19718)
Reverts ff3d2773e2. Teknium reviewed the merged PR and decided this
behavior isn't wanted — tool-driven kanban_create should not mirror
the slash-command path's auto-subscribe. Orchestrators that want
their originating chat notified can call kanban_notify-subscribe
explicitly; we're not going to make it implicit.
* feat(kanban-dashboard): per-platform home-channel notification toggles
Adds a "Notify home channels" section to the task drawer in the kanban
dashboard plugin. Each platform where the user has set a home channel
(/sethome, TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL env var, gateway.platforms.<p>.home_channel
in config.yaml) gets a toggle pill. Toggling on writes a kanban_notify_subs
row keyed to that platform's home (chat_id + thread_id); toggling off
removes it. The existing gateway notifier watcher delivers completed /
blocked / gave_up events without any new plumbing — this is purely a GUI
surface over existing machinery.
Replaces the reverted auto-subscribe behavior from #19718 with an explicit,
per-task, per-platform, user-controlled opt-in. No implicit subscription
on tool-driven kanban_create; no CLI commands; no slash commands. Just a
toggle in the drawer.
Backend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py):
- GET /api/plugins/kanban/home-channels[?task_id=X]
Returns every platform with a configured home, plus a per-entry
subscribed: bool relative to task_id (false when task_id omitted).
Reads the live GatewayConfig via load_gateway_config() so env-var
overlays stay honored.
- POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
Idempotent add_notify_sub keyed to the platform's home.
- DELETE /api/plugins/kanban/tasks/:id/home-subscribe/:platform
remove_notify_sub for the same tuple.
- 404 when the platform has no home configured, or task_id doesn't
exist (POST only).
Frontend (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js):
- TaskDrawer fetches /home-channels on open, keyed on task_id.
- HomeSubsSection renders nothing when zero platforms have a home (so
users who haven't set one up don't see an empty UI block).
- Optimistic toggle with busy flag + revert-on-failure. One pill per
platform; ✓ prefix and --on class indicate the subscribed state.
CSS (plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/style.css):
- .hermes-kanban-home-subs flex row + .hermes-kanban-home-sub pill
style + --on subscribed variant (subtle ring-colored background).
Live-tested against a dashboard with TELEGRAM + DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN /
HOME_CHANNEL env vars set: drawer shows both pills, toggling each
flips its visual state AND writes/removes the correct kanban_notify_subs
row (verified via direct DB read).
Tests (tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py, 11 new, 53/53
pass total):
- home-channels lists only platforms with a home (slack with a
token but no home is excluded)
- no task_id -> all subscribed=false
- subscribe creates notify_sub row with correct chat/thread/platform
- subscribed=true reflected in subsequent GET
- idempotent re-subscribe
- unknown platform -> 404
- unknown task -> 404
- unsubscribe removes the row
- telegram + discord subscribe/unsubscribe independent
- zero homes -> empty list
The Teams adapter's interactive_setup() tried to import prompt,
prompt_yes_no, print_info, print_success, and print_warning from
hermes_cli.config, but those helpers live in hermes_cli.cli_output.
Only get_env_value/save_env_value live in hermes_cli.config.
This caused 'hermes setup' to crash with ImportError as soon as the
user picked Teams in the messaging-platforms wizard.
Split the import accordingly.
* feat(achievements): share card render on unlocked badges
Adds a Share button to each unlocked achievement card that opens a
modal and renders a 1200x630 PNG share card client-side via Canvas2D
(no backend, no network, no new deps). Two actions: Download PNG and
Copy image to clipboard.
Card layout mirrors the in-dashboard visual language: tier-colored
glow, icon from the existing LUCIDE sprite set, achievement name,
tier badge pill, description, progress stat line, and a Hermes Agent
watermark. Sized for X/Twitter, Discord, LinkedIn, Bluesky link
previews.
Vendored on top of the upstream @PCinkusz bundle; the 'in-progress
scan banner' precedent already established this divergence pattern.
Manifest bumped 0.3.1 -> 0.4.0.
* feat(achievements): share-on-X as primary action on share dialog
Adds a 'Share on X' button as the primary action in the share dialog.
Opens https://x.com/intent/post with a pre-filled tweet referencing
the achievement name, tier, @NousResearch, and the Hermes docs URL.
Copy image and Download PNG become secondary actions: users who want
the badge attached can Copy image, paste into the X composer, post.
Primary button styled as X's signature black-on-white fill so the
action is unambiguous.
The PATCH /tasks/:id endpoint allows setting status='running' via
_set_status_direct(), bypassing the dispatcher/claim path that creates
run rows, claim locks, expiry, and worker process metadata. This can
leave tasks stuck in 'running' with no active worker.
Fix: reject status='running' with HTTP 400, requiring all transitions
to 'running' to go through the canonical claim_task() path.
Closes#19535
Adds first-class board support to kanban so users can separate unrelated
streams of work (projects, repos, domains) into isolated queues. Single-
project users stay on the 'default' board and see no UI change.
Isolation model
---------------
- Each board is a directory at `~/.hermes/kanban/boards/<slug>/` with
its own `kanban.db`, `workspaces/`, and `logs/`. The 'default' board
keeps its legacy path (`~/.hermes/kanban.db`) for back-compat — fresh
installs and pre-boards users get zero migration.
- Workers spawned by the dispatcher have `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` pinned in
their env alongside the existing `HERMES_KANBAN_DB` /
`HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` pins, so workers physically cannot see
other boards' tasks.
- The gateway's single dispatcher loop now sweeps every board per tick;
per-tick cost is a few extra filesystem stats.
- CAS concurrency guarantees are preserved per-board (each board is its
own SQLite DB, same WAL+IMMEDIATE machinery as before).
CLI
---
hermes kanban boards list|create|switch|show|rename|rm
hermes kanban --board <slug> <any-subcommand>
Board resolution order: `--board` flag → `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` env →
`~/.hermes/kanban/current` file → `default`. Slug validation is strict:
lowercase alphanumerics + hyphens + underscores, 1-64 chars, starts with
alphanumeric. Uppercase is auto-downcased; slashes / dots / `..` /
control chars are rejected so boards can't name their way out of the
boards/ directory.
Passive discoverability: when more than one board exists, `hermes kanban
list` prints a one-line header ("Board: foo (2 other boards …)") so
users who stumble across multi-project never have to hunt for the
feature. Invisible for single-board installs.
Dashboard
---------
- New `BoardSwitcher` component at the top of the Kanban tab: dropdown
with all boards + task counts, `+ New board` button, `Archive`
button (non-default only). Hidden entirely when only `default` exists
and is empty — single-project users never see it.
- New `NewBoardDialog` modal: slug / display name / description / icon
+ "switch to this board after creating" checkbox.
- Selected board persists to `localStorage` so browser users don't
shift the CLI's active board out from under a terminal they left open.
- New `?board=<slug>` query param on every existing endpoint plus a
new `/boards` CRUD surface (`GET /boards`, `POST /boards`,
`PATCH /boards/<slug>`, `DELETE /boards/<slug>`,
`POST /boards/<slug>/switch`).
- Events WebSocket is pinned to a board at connection time; switching
opens a fresh WS against the new board.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug in the plugin's tenant / assignee
filters: the SDK's `Select` uses `onValueChange(value)`, not
native `onChange(event)`, so those filters silently didn't work.
New `selectChangeHandler` helper wires both signatures.
Tests
-----
49 new tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_boards.py` covering:
slug validation (valid / invalid / auto-downcase), path resolution
(default = legacy path, named = `boards/<slug>/`, env var override),
current-board resolution chain (env > file > default), board CRUD +
archive / hard-delete, per-board connection isolation (tasks don't
leak), worker spawn env injection (`HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD`,
`HERMES_KANBAN_DB`, `HERMES_KANBAN_WORKSPACES_ROOT` all point at the
right board), and end-to-end CLI surface.
Regression surface: all 264 pre-existing kanban tests continue to pass.
Live-tested via the dashboard: created 3 boards (default,
hermes-agent, atm10-server), created tasks on each via both CLI
(`--board <slug> create`) and dashboard (inline create on the Ready
column), confirmed zero cross-board leakage, confirmed `BoardSwitcher`
+ `NewBoardDialog` work end-to-end in the browser.
Closes#18718. Exposes the existing `workspace_kind` + `workspace_path`
fields (already accepted by POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks) in the
dashboard's per-column inline-create form so users can create tasks
targeting a git worktree or an explicit directory without dropping
back to the CLI.
- Add a workspace-kind Select (scratch / worktree / dir) to
InlineCreate in plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js.
- Conditionally render a workspace_path Input next to the select when
kind != scratch; placeholder tells the user whether the path is
required (dir) or optional (worktree — derived from assignee when
blank).
- Submit wires `workspace_kind` / `workspace_path` into the POST body
only when they're non-default, keeping the request shape small and
interoperable with older dispatcher versions.
E2E verified in a dashboard pointed at the worktree: selecting dir +
typing /tmp/test-18718 produces a POST body with
{workspace_kind: 'dir', workspace_path: '/tmp/test-18718'} and the
task lands in sqlite with those fields set. 42/42 kanban dashboard
plugin tests pass.
Closes#18576. Addresses three of four complaints from the readability
report; live-verified in a dashboard against a seeded task with body,
comments, and run history.
- Drawer default width 480px → 640px, exposed as the CSS var
`--hermes-kanban-drawer-width` so deployments / user themes can
override without forking the plugin.
- Bump body/meta/pre/log/run-history font sizes from the 0.65-0.75rem
cluster to the 0.78-0.85rem cluster. Long paths and code snippets in
task bodies, run metadata, and worker logs are legible again instead
of requiring a squint.
- Fix the black-text-on-dark-theme regression in fenced markdown code
blocks. Root cause: themes that don't define `--color-foreground`
(NERV, at least) leave `color: var(--color-foreground)` resolving
empty on <code>, which then falls back to the UA default (near-black)
instead of inheriting from the drawer's <body>. Fix: force
`color: inherit` on both inline and fenced code, and give the fenced
block background via `currentColor` instead of `--color-foreground`
so there's a visible card even when the theme var is absent.
Out of scope for this PR (comments added to #18576):
- Draggable resize handle (structural JS work; plugin ships built-only,
no src/ in-tree).
- Live worker-log viewer for running tasks (backend WS + component).
- Sibling fix: themes like NERV should define --color-foreground. The
current changes make the drawer robust against that gap, but the
root fix belongs in the theme layer.
Four callsites hardcoded Path.home() / '.hermes' with no HERMES_HOME
check, breaking Docker deployments and profile isolation (hermes -p):
- plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py:
state_path(), snapshot_path(), checkpoint_path() bare-literal paths
- scripts/profile-tui.py:
DEFAULT_STATE_DB and DEFAULT_LOG defaults ignored HERMES_HOME
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py:
except-Exception fallback for slack-manifest.json dump
- optional-skills/migration/openclaw-migration/scripts/openclaw_to_hermes.py:
--target argparse default
Use get_hermes_home() (with an ImportError shim for the standalone
scripts) or 'os.environ.get("HERMES_HOME") or str(Path.home()/".hermes")'
where importing hermes_constants is impractical.
E2E-verified: with HERMES_HOME=/tmp/x all three achievements paths and
both profile-tui defaults route under /tmp/x.
Salvaged from #18068 (original scope was broader mechanical cleanup
claiming 23 callsites were buggy; most were already respecting
HERMES_HOME via os.environ.get(key, default) — only these 4 had no env
check at all). Credit: @web-dev0521.
_get_peer() and _get_or_create_honcho_session() accessed _peers_cache
and _sessions_cache without holding _cache_lock, while other paths
in the same class use the lock consistently. Under concurrent tool
calls or prefetch threads, this can produce stale reads or lost
cache updates.
Wrap both unguarded cache read sites in _cache_lock. Network calls
(honcho.peer() and honcho.session()) remain outside the lock to
avoid holding it during I/O.
Three int() calls in HonchoClient.from_global_config() parsed
dialecticMaxChars, messageMaxChars, and dialecticMaxInputChars
directly without guards. A malformed value in honcho.json would
raise ValueError and abort provider initialization entirely.
Add _parse_int_config() helper following the existing
_parse_context_tokens() pattern, and replace all three raw
int() calls with it.
microsoft-teams-apps 2.0.0 added the `client` option to AppOptions,
accepting a ClientOptions instance. Use it to set the User-Agent
header to "Hermes" on all outgoing HTTP requests.

Adds a deterministic pre-check on top of htsh's exception-based fallback:
before calling /content/abstract or /content/overview on a non-pseudo URI,
probe /api/v1/fs/stat. If the server says the URI is a file, route straight
to /content/read instead of eating a failing 500 round-trip.
This is the same idea pty819 and chennest independently landed in PRs
#12757 and #12937 — merged here on top of htsh's broader fix so we keep
pseudo-URI normalization and v0.3.3 browse-shape handling while avoiding
the slow exception path on servers that return a raised 500 every time.
The exception fallback from #5886 stays in place for environments where
fs/stat is unavailable or returns an unfamiliar shape.
Also credits pty819, chennest, and htsh in AUTHOR_MAP so future release
notes attribute them correctly.
OpenViking returns 500 for /content/abstract and /content/overview when URI points to mem_*.md files.
Add resilient fallback to /content/read for non-pseudo summary file URIs while preserving pseudo summary normalization.
Also add regression tests for fallback behavior.
OpenViking v0.3.3 expects directory URIs for abstract/overview reads.
Passing pseudo-files like /.overview.md and /.abstract.md to
/api/v1/content/overview|abstract triggers HTTP 500.
This change normalizes those pseudo-URIs to their parent directory for
abstract/overview requests, preserves full reads, and hardens parsing for
wrapped/unwrapped result payloads and fs list response shapes.
Replace the Azure portal credential prompts with the teams CLI
workflow: install @microsoft/teams.cli, run teams app create,
paste the output credentials. Matches the setup docs.

Pass cmd/desc in button action data so the card response can
reconstruct the original body. Clicking a button now replaces
only the actions with a status line, keeping the command and
reason text visible.

The gateway calls send_image_file() for locally cached images
(e.g. from image_gen tools). Without this override the base class
falls back to sending the file path as plain text. Delegate to
send_image() which already handles base64 encoding local paths.

Teams doesn't render markdown image syntax. Send images using the SDK's

Hello! I am the maintainer of the microsoft-teams-apps Python SDK and
I built this Teams adapter to integrate Microsoft Teams into Hermes.
Adds a `plugins/platforms/teams` platform plugin using the new
PlatformRegistry system from #17751. The adapter self-registers via
`register(ctx)` — no hardcoding in run.py, toolsets.py, or any
other core file.
Key features:
- Supports personal DMs, group chats, and channel posts
- Adaptive Card approval prompts with in-place button replacement
(Allow Once / Allow Session / Always Allow / Deny)
- aiohttp webhook server bridged from the Teams SDK to avoid
the fastapi/uvicorn dependency
- ConversationReference caching for correct proactive sends in
non-DM chats
- `interactive_setup()` for `hermes gateway setup` integration
- `platform_hint` for LLM context (Teams markdown subset)
- 34 tests covering adapter init, send, message handling, and
plugin registration

* feat(plugins): bundle hermes-achievements, scan full session history
Ships @PCinkusz's hermes-achievements dashboard plugin (https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements) as a bundled plugin at plugins/hermes-achievements/ and fixes a bug in the scan path that made the plugin only see the first 200 sessions — making lifetime badges (50k tool calls, 75k errors, etc.) unreachable on long-running installs.
Changes:
- plugins/hermes-achievements/: vendor v0.3.1 verbatim (manifest, dist/, plugin_api.py, tests, docs, README).
- plugins/hermes-achievements/dashboard/plugin_api.py:
* scan_sessions(): limit=None now scans ALL sessions via SQLite LIMIT -1. Previously capped at 200, so users with 8000+ sessions saw ~2% of their history.
* evaluate_all(): first-ever scans run in a background thread so the dashboard request path never blocks. Stale snapshots serve immediately while a background refresh runs. force=True still blocks synchronously for manual /rescan.
* _build_pending_snapshot(), _start_background_scan(), _run_scan_and_update_cache(): supporting plumbing + idempotent thread spawn.
- tests/plugins/test_achievements_plugin.py: new tests covering the 200-cap regression, the background-scan first-run flow, stale-serve-plus-background-refresh, forced sync rescan, and scan-thread idempotency.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md: lists hermes-achievements in the bundled-plugins table and documents API endpoints, state files, and performance characteristics.
E2E validated against a real 8564-session ~6.4GB state.db:
* Cold scan: 13m 19s (one-time, backgrounded — UI never blocks)
* Warm rescan: 1.47s (8563/8564 sessions reused from checkpoint cache)
* 57/60 achievements unlocked, 3 discovered — aggregates like total_tool_calls=259958, total_errors=164213, skill_events=368243 correctly surface lifetime badges that the 200-cap made unreachable.
Original credit: @PCinkusz (MIT-licensed). Upstream repo remains the staging ground for new badges; this bundle keeps the dashboard feature parity with Hermes core changes.
* feat(achievements): publish partial snapshots during cold scan
Previously a cold scan on a large session DB (13min on 8564 sessions)
showed zero badges for the entire duration, then every badge at once
when the scan completed. A dashboard refresh mid-scan was indistinguishable
from a fresh install with no history.
Now the scanner publishes a partial snapshot to _SNAPSHOT_CACHE every
250 sessions, so each refresh during a cold scan surfaces more badges
incrementally.
Mechanism:
- scan_sessions() takes an optional progress_callback fired every
progress_every sessions with (sessions_so_far, scanned, total).
- _compute_from_scan() is extracted from compute_all() and gains an
is_partial flag that skips writing to state.json — we don't want
to record unlocked_at based on a half-complete aggregate that a
later session might rebalance.
- _run_scan_and_update_cache() installs a publisher callback that
builds a partial snapshot, marks it mode='in_progress', and writes
it to the cache with age=0 so the UI keeps polling /scan-status
and picks up the final snapshot when the scan completes.
- Manual /rescan (force=True) disables partial publishing — the
caller is blocking on the final result anyway.
E2E against real 8564-session state.db (polled cache every 10s):
t=10s: cache empty
t=20s: 250/8564 scanned, 35 unlocked, 25 discovered
t=40s: 500/8564 scanned, 42 unlocked, 18 discovered
t=60s: 1000/8564 scanned, 49 unlocked, 11 discovered
...
Tests: 9/9 pass (2 new — partial snapshot publication + no-persist-on-partial).
Upstream unittest suite: 10/10 pass.
* feat(achievements): in-progress scan banner with live % progress
Previously the dashboard showed zero badges silently during long cold
scans (13min on 8564 sessions). The backend was publishing partial
snapshots every 250 sessions, but the bundled UI didn't surface any
indicator that a scan was running — it just rendered the main page
with whatever counts were currently published and no way for the user
to know more progress was coming.
UI changes (dist/index.js, dist/style.css):
- Added a scan-in-progress banner rendered between the hero and stats
when scan_meta.mode is 'pending' or 'in_progress'. Shows:
BUILDING ACHIEVEMENT PROFILE…
Scanned 1,750 of 8,564 sessions · 20%. Badges unlock as more history streams in.
with a pulsing teal indicator and a filling teal/cyan progress bar.
Disappears the moment the backend flips to 'full' or 'incremental'.
- Added an auto-poller via useEffect — while scanInFlight is true the
page re-fetches /achievements every 4s WITHOUT toggling the loading
skeleton, so unlock counts tick up visibly without the user refreshing.
The effect cleans itself up when the scan finishes.
- Added refresh() (re-fetch, no loading flip) alongside the existing
load() (full reload, used by the Rescan button).
Attribution preserved:
- Added a header comment to index.js crediting @PCinkusz
(https://github.com/PCinkusz/hermes-achievements, MIT) as the
original author, noting the banner is a layered addition on top
of the original dist bundle.
- Matching header comment in style.css, flagging the new
.ha-scan-banner* rules as the local addition.
Live-verified end to end:
- Spun up `hermes dashboard --port 9229 --no-open` against a fresh
HERMES_HOME symlinked to the real 8564-session state.db.
- Opened /achievements in a browser, confirmed the banner renders with
live progress: 'Scanned 1,000 of 8,564 sessions · 11%' → updates to
'1,250 ... · 14%' → '1,750 ... · 20%' without user interaction,
matching the backend's partial publications.
- Stats row simultaneously climbed from 35 → 49 → 53 unlocked as
more history streamed in.
- Vision analysis of the rendered page confirms the banner styling
matches the rest of the dashboard (dark card bg, teal accent, same
small-caps typography, pulsing indicator reusing ha-pulse keyframes).
Platform plugins shipped in-repo under plugins/platforms/ should be
available out of the box — users shouldn't have to add 'irc-platform'
to plugins.enabled before they can pick IRC from the gateway setup menu.
Adds a new ``kind: platform`` plugin type that mirrors the existing
``kind: backend`` auto-load semantics:
- Bundled (shipped in the hermes-agent repo): auto-load unconditionally.
- User-installed (~/.hermes/plugins/): still opt-in via plugins.enabled
so untrusted code doesn't silently run.
Changes:
* hermes_cli/plugins.py: add 'platform' to _VALID_PLUGIN_KINDS, document
the new kind in the PluginManifest docstring, extend the bundled auto-
load rule from 'backend only' to 'backend or platform'.
* plugins/platforms/irc/plugin.yaml: declare kind: platform.
* hermes_cli/gateway.py: remove the now-redundant
_load_bundled_platform_plugins_for_enumeration() helper and the
_enable_plugin_for_platform() helper. The setup menu's _all_platforms()
just calls discover_plugins() and reads the registry — bundled
platforms are already loaded at that point. Drops the 'needs_enable'
flag and the 'plugin disabled — select to enable' status string.
* hermes_cli/setup.py: relax the "gateway is configured" detector used
during OpenClaw migration. Switching to _platform_status() in an
earlier commit tightened the check to require an exact "configured"
match, dropping platforms whose status is "enabled, not paired",
"partially configured", "configured + E2EE", etc. Now any non-"not
configured" status counts — the user has already started setup there
and we shouldn't force the section to rerun.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_irc.py: drop the TestIRCPluginDisabledFlow
class and test_configure_platform_enables_disabled_plugin_first — the
no-longer-existent flow they were testing.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_openclaw_migration.py: patch both
setup.get_env_value and gateway.get_env_value in the 4 gateway-section
tests that reach _platform_status() through the unified setup flow;
switch WHATSAPP_ENABLED to the literal "true" in the registry-parity
test so WhatsApp's value-shape validator matches.
Verified via fresh-install smoke (empty plugins.enabled, no env vars):
IRC plugin loads, Platform('irc') resolves, _all_platforms() lists IRC
with status 'not configured'. 160 targeted tests pass.
feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
Merge the two gateway setup paths (hermes setup gateway + hermes gateway
setup) to use a single _unified_platforms() list that merges built-in
_PLATFORMS with dynamically registered plugin entries from
platform_registry.
- Add setup_fn field to PlatformEntry for plugin setup flows
- _unified_platforms() merges built-ins with registry entries by key
- setup_gateway() now uses unified list instead of hardcoded
_GATEWAY_PLATFORMS tuple list
- gateway_setup() uses same unified list, plugin entries appear
alongside built-ins with no [plugin] suffix
- _platform_status() handles plugin platforms via registry check_fn
- Plugin platforms with setup_fn get called directly; plugins without
get a generic env-var display fallback
IRC and other plugin platforms now appear automatically in the setup
menu when registered via platform_registry.register().
feat(gateway): surface disabled platform plugins in setup and auto-enable on select
Platform plugins under plugins/platforms/* (IRC, etc.) were gated behind
plugins.enabled, so `hermes gateway setup` wouldn't list them until the
user ran `hermes plugins enable <name>` first. Now the setup menu always
surfaces them as "plugin disabled — select to enable", and picking one
adds it to plugins.enabled before running its setup flow.
Along the way, unify the two gateway setup flows so `hermes setup gateway`
and `hermes gateway setup` both read from the same platform list (built-in
_PLATFORMS + platform_registry entries), dispatch through a single
_configure_platform() helper, and share _platform_status(). Deletes the
dead bespoke wrappers in setup.py (_setup_whatsapp, _setup_weixin,
_setup_email, etc.) that duplicated logic now covered by the registry
path or _setup_standard_platform.
Also:
- PlatformEntry gains a plugin_name field so the registry knows which
plugin owns each entry (required for auto-enable).
- PluginContext.register_platform auto-stamps plugin_name from the
manifest so plugins don't have to pass it explicitly.
- PluginManager now scans plugins/platforms/* as its own category root,
one level below the bundled plugin scan.
- Fix IRC plugin discovery: rename PLUGIN.yaml → plugin.yaml (the
scanner is case-sensitive) and add the missing __init__.py that
_load_directory_module requires.
Closes remaining functional gaps and adds documentation.
webhook.py: Cross-platform delivery now checks the plugin registry
for unknown platform names instead of hardcoding 15 names in a tuple.
Plugin platforms can receive webhook-routed deliveries.
prompt_builder: Platform hints (system prompt LLM guidance) now fall
back to the plugin registry's platform_hint field. Plugin platforms
can tell the LLM 'you're on IRC, no markdown.'
PlatformEntry: Added platform_hint field for LLM guidance injection.
IRC adapter: Added acquire_scoped_lock/release_scoped_lock in
connect/disconnect to prevent two profiles from using the same IRC
identity. Added platform_hint for IRC-specific LLM guidance.
Removed dead token-empty-warning extension for plugin platforms
(plugin adapters handle their own env vars via check_fn).
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md:
- Added 'Plugin Path (Recommended)' section with full code examples,
PLUGIN.yaml template, config.yaml examples, and a table showing all
18 integration points the plugin system handles automatically
- Renamed built-in checklist to clarify it's for core contributors
gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md:
- Added Plugin Path section pointing to the reference implementation
and full docs guide
- Clarified built-in path is for core contributors only
Extends the platform plugin interface from Phase 1 to cover every
touchpoint where built-in platforms have hardcoded behavior.
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env: per-platform auth env vars
- max_message_length: smart-chunking for send_message tool
- pii_safe: session PII redaction flag
- emoji: CLI/gateway display
- allow_update_command: /update access control
send_message tool (tools/send_message_tool.py):
- Replaced hardcoded platform_map dict with Platform() call
- Added _send_via_adapter() for plugin platforms — routes through
live gateway adapter when available
- Registry-aware max message length for smart chunking
Cron delivery (cron/scheduler.py):
- Replaced hardcoded 15-entry platform_map with Platform() call
- Plugin platforms now work as cron delivery targets
User authorization (gateway/run.py _is_user_authorized):
- Registry fallback: checks PlatformEntry.allowed_users_env and
allow_all_env when platform not in hardcoded maps
- Plugin platforms get per-platform auth support
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS: checks registry allow_update_command flag
Channel directory: includes plugin platforms in session enumeration
Orphaned config warning: descriptive message when plugin platform is
in config but no plugin registered it
Gateway weakref: _gateway_runner_ref for cross-module adapter access
hermes status: shows plugin platforms with (plugin) tag
hermes gateway setup: plugin platforms appear in menu with setup hints
hermes_cli/platforms.py: get_all_platforms() merges with registry,
platform_label() falls back to registry for plugin names
- 8 new tests (extended fields, cron resolution, platforms merge)
- Updated 3 tests for new Platform() based resolution
- 2829 passed, 24 pre-existing failures, zero new failures
Adds a platform adapter plugin interface so anyone can create new gateway
platforms (IRC, Viber, Line, etc.) as drop-in plugins without modifying
core gateway code.
- PlatformEntry dataclass: name, label, adapter_factory, check_fn,
validate_config, required_env, install_hint, source
- PlatformRegistry singleton with register/unregister/create_adapter
- _create_adapter() in gateway/run.py checks registry first, falls
through to existing if/elif chain for built-in platforms
- Platform._missing_() accepts unknown string values, creating cached
pseudo-members so Platform('irc') is Platform('irc') holds true
- GatewayConfig.from_dict() now parses plugin platform names from
config.yaml without rejecting them
- get_connected_platforms() delegates to registry for unknown platforms
- PluginContext.register_platform() for plugin authors
- Mirrors the existing register_tool() / register_hook() pattern
- Full async IRC adapter using stdlib asyncio (zero external deps)
- Connects via TLS, handles PING/PONG, nick collision, NickServ auth
- Channel messages require addressing (nick: msg), DMs always dispatch
- Markdown stripping for IRC-clean output, message splitting for
512-byte line limit
- Config via config.yaml extra dict or IRC_* env vars
- Platform enum dynamic members (identity stability, case normalization)
- PlatformRegistry (register, unregister, create, validation, factory)
- GatewayConfig integration (from_dict parsing, get_connected_platforms)
- IRC adapter (init, send, protocol parsing, markdown, requirements)
No existing platform adapters were migrated — the if/elif chain is
untouched. This is Phase 1: prove the interface with a real plugin.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked PR #17447. The original flush spawned a
bare threading.Thread for the buffer-flush path, overwriting
self._sync_thread — which is aliased to the long-lived writer thread.
Two consequences:
1. No serialization with the writer queue. If old-session retains were
still queued in _retain_queue, the flush ran concurrently with the
writer and both threads could call aretain_batch against the same
document_id.
2. The pre-spawn 'self._sync_thread.join(timeout=5.0)' tried to join the
long-lived writer, which never exits, so the join was a no-op that
just timed out — never actually serialized anything.
Fix: enqueue the flush closure on _retain_queue via _ensure_writer +
put(). Natural FIFO ordering behind any pending retains, no new thread,
no broken join. Shutdown-aware so it doesn't enqueue after teardown.
Tests updated to drain via _retain_queue.join() instead of the stale
_sync_thread.join(). Added regression guard
test_flush_serializes_behind_pending_retains_via_writer_queue that
blocks the writer mid-retain to prove the flush waits in FIFO behind
the old retain.
Also seeds _retain_queue / _shutting_down / stubbed _ensure_writer on
the bare-object test helper in test_memory_session_switch.py so that
path doesn't blow up under the new queue-enqueue.
tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py + tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: 103/103 passing.
Two data-loss / leak gaps in HindsightMemoryProvider.on_session_switch
introduced by #17409.
1. Buffered turns silently lost when retain_every_n_turns > 1.
on_session_switch unconditionally cleared _session_turns without
flushing. Users who batched every N>1 turns and switched mid-batch
(/reset, /new, /resume, /branch, or context compression) had those
buffered turns disappear. Same data-loss class as the shutdown race,
different lifecycle event.
Note commit_memory_session() -> on_session_end() runs *before*
on_session_switch on /reset, but Hindsight doesn't implement
on_session_end so the buffer survives that step and dies at clear
time. /resume, /branch, and compression skip commit_memory_session
entirely so an on_session_end impl wouldn't help them anyway.
Fix: snapshot the old _session_id, _document_id, _parent_session_id,
_turn_index, and _session_turns; spawn one final retain that lands
under the OLD document_id; then rotate state. Metadata is built
synchronously against the old self._* so session_id / lineage tags
on the flushed item all reference the prior session consistently.
2. Stale _prefetch_result leaks across switch.
If queue_prefetch ran in the old session and the result hadn't been
consumed by prefetch() yet, on_session_switch left the cached recall
text in place. The next session's first prefetch() call would return
text mined from the prior session's bank/query.
Fix: join any in-flight _prefetch_thread (3s bounded — matches
shutdown()), then clear _prefetch_result under _prefetch_lock before
rotating session_id.
Tests
-----
- tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py (TestSessionSwitchBufferFlush):
- buffered turns flushed under OLD document_id with OLD lineage tags
- empty buffer => no spurious retain
- _prefetch_result cleared on switch
- in-flight prefetch thread is awaited before clear (no race)
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: factory extended to seed the
attrs the new flush path reads (_retain_source, _platform, _bank_id,
prefetch state, etc.) and stub _run_hindsight_operation so existing
switch-state assertions keep passing without network setup.
The plugin used to spawn one daemon thread per sync_turn() to do the
aretain_batch network write. On CLI exit, that pattern raced interpreter
shutdown — the last retain could reach aiohttp after asyncio's
"cannot schedule new futures" guard had fired, producing noisy logs and
silently losing the final unsaved turn:
WARNING ... Hindsight sync failed: cannot schedule new futures after
interpreter shutdown
ERROR asyncio: Unclosed client session
client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x...>
Switch to a single-writer model: each provider owns one long-lived
writer thread plus a queue. sync_turn() snapshots state and enqueues a
job; the writer drains sequentially. Once shutdown() is called:
- new sync_turn() / queue_prefetch() calls are dropped, not enqueued
- a sentinel wakes the writer so it finishes in-flight work
- shutdown joins the writer (10s) before nulling the client
Also register an idempotent atexit hook from the first sync_turn(), so
exit paths that don't go through MemoryManager.shutdown_all() (Ctrl-C,
abrupt exit) still get a chance to drain.
Tests: keep _sync_thread as a legacy alias to the writer, swap join()
calls to _retain_queue.join() (canonical wait-for-drain), add a new
TestShutdownRace suite covering single-writer reuse, post-shutdown drop,
queue draining, and shutdown idempotency.
Fixes#6672
Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.
MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
/branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.
MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
during shutdown paths.
run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
the rollover; now also calls
_memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').
cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.
gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
/branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
cross-session transitions.
Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
_turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
(avoids clobbering on a bare switch).
Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
queue_prefetch_all.
E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash

Completes the cfg_get migration started in PR #17304. Covers the

PR intentionally left opportunistic.
Migrated (33 sites across 14 files):

The helper supports non-literal keys too, so e.g.
cfg.get('hosts', {}).get(HOST, {})
becomes
cfg_get(cfg, 'hosts', HOST, default={})
Migration bugs caught and fixed during this PR:
1. An AST-based batch rewrite naïvely captured the first word token in
a chain, which corrupted 'self._config.get(...).get(...)' into
'self.cfg_get(_config, ...)' (dropping 'self.', creating a broken
method call). Plugins/memory/hindsight caught it via its test suite.
Fixed manually to 'cfg_get(self._config, ...)'.
2. Import-extension heuristic rewrote multi-line parenthesized imports
('from X import (\n A,\n B,\n)') as
'from X import cfg_get, (' — syntactically broken. Fixed by inserting
cfg_get as the first name inside the parentheses.
Combined with PR #17304, the cfg_get migration now covers:
PR #17304 (first batch): 20 sites in tools/ + gateway/
PR #17317 (this one): 33 sites in hermes_cli/ + plugins/ + run_agent.py
Total: 53 sites migrated. Remaining ~8 sites are either:
- Function-call chains (e.g. '_load_stt_config().get(...).get(...)')
that would need double-evaluation or a local binding to migrate
cleanly — intentionally deferred.
- JSON response-navigation (e.g. 'response_data.get('data',{}).get('web'))
which is unrelated to config access and shouldn't use cfg_get.
Verified:
- 412/412 tests/plugins/ pass (including the hindsight test that caught
the self.X regex bug before commit)
- 3181/3189 tests/hermes_cli/ pass (8 pre-existing failures on main,
verified by git-stash comparison)
- Live 'hermes status' and 'hermes config' render correctly (exercise
the migrated terminal.backend, tts.provider, browser.cloud_provider,
compression.threshold, display.tool_progress sites)
- Live 'hermes chat': 1 turn + /quit, zero errors in 11-line log window
No semantic changes — cfg_get was already proven to be a 1:1 match for
the original .get("X",{}).get("Y",default) pattern in PR #17304.
Opt-in Langfuse tracing for Hermes conversations — LLM calls, tool
usage, usage/cost breakdown per span. Hooks into pre/post_api_request,
pre/post_llm_call, pre/post_tool_call. SDK is optional; missing SDK or
credentials renders the plugin inert.
Salvaged from PR #16845 by @kshitijk4poor, who wrote the plugin
(~875 LOC, 6 hooks, Langfuse usage-details/cost-details normalization,
read_file payload summarization).
Salvage scope (why this isn't PR #16845 as-authored):
- Lives at plugins/observability/langfuse/ (standalone kind, opt-in via
plugins.enabled) instead of a new parallel optional-plugins/
directory. Standalone bundled plugins are already opt-in — only their
plugin.yaml is scanned at startup; the Python module is not imported
unless the user enables it. The premise of optional-plugins/ (avoid
import cost for users who don't want it) is already solved by the
existing plugin system.
- Dropped the triple activation gate (plugins.enabled +
plugins.langfuse.enabled + HERMES_LANGFUSE_ENABLED). The Hermes plugin
system's own enable/disable is authoritative; runtime credentials
gate whether the hook actually traces.
- Rewrote _is_enabled() → cached _get_langfuse() with an _INIT_FAILED
sentinel. The original called hermes_cli.config.load_config() from
every hook invocation (full yaml parse + deep merge + env expansion
on every pre/post_tool_call, potentially 100+ times per turn). The
cached version reads env once and returns the cached client or None
on every subsequent call with zero further work.
- hermes tools → Langfuse Observability post-setup adds
observability/langfuse to plugins.enabled directly (via
_save_enabled_set) instead of going through an install-copy flow.
Enable:
hermes tools # interactive
hermes plugins enable observability/langfuse # manual
Required env (set by `hermes tools` or in ~/.hermes/.env):
HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
HERMES_LANGFUSE_BASE_URL # optional

Closed PR #5137 addressed the retrieval path (peer cards via get_card()
instead of the session-scoped lookup that returned empty for per-session
messaging flows) — that architectural fix is already in main as
_fetch_peer_card / _fetch_peer_context.
What never got fixed is the user-visible side: honcho_profile returning
a flat 'No profile facts available yet.' leaves the model to guess at
why. The model then often surfaces it to the user as a cryptic error.
Adds a diagnostic hint next to the existing 'result' message, enumerating
the likely causes in rough order of frequency:
1. Observation disabled for this peer (user_observe_me/others off)
2. Peer card hasn't accumulated yet (fresh peer / dialectic cadence
hasn't fired enough turns — cards build over time)
3. Generic fallback: self-hosted Honcho < 3.x lacks peer cards
The hint also suggests alternative tools (honcho_reasoning / honcho_search)
so the model can route around the empty card rather than giving up.
Schema description updated so the model knows the hint field exists and
that an empty card is NOT an error state.
7 tests cover the hint paths: warmup, observation-disabled for user + ai,
generic fallback, populated card still returns plain result (no hint),
alternative-tool suggestion present.
The scheme-validation commit (e77a3f2c) was too strict: a user with
legacy ''baseUrl: localhost:8000'' (no ''http://'' prefix) in their
''~/.honcho/config.json'' would get ''No API key configured'' from the
CLI after that change, even though their setup worked before.
urlparse on a schemeless host:port treats the host segment as the
scheme and leaves netloc empty, so the http/https check rejected it.
Falls back to a lenient check for schemeless strings that look like
hosts: contain '.' or ':', aren't a boolean/null literal, aren't pure
digits. The SDK still rejects truly malformed URLs at connect time
with a clearer error than ours.
Three new tests: legacy schemeless hosts accepted; obvious garbage
literals (''true'', ''null'', ''12345'') still rejected. Reviewer
noted concern #1: schemeless regression for self-hosters with old
configs.
main's 6a957a74 added an optional 'metadata' kwarg to
MemoryProvider.on_memory_write so providers can distinguish tool-driven
memory writes from background-review writes. MemoryManager already
does a getfullargspec-based introspection, so the old 3-arg signature
didn't break at runtime — but it missed the origin hint entirely.
Updates HonchoMemoryProvider.on_memory_write to accept the kwarg. The
metadata isn't yet threaded into Honcho's create_conclusion payload —
that's worth its own PR once the consolidation lands and the new
metadata shape stabilises.
Two small follow-ups to the PR review:
- Hoist hashlib import from _enforce_session_id_limit() to module top.
stdlib imports are free after first cache, but keeping all imports at
module top matches the rest of the codebase.
- _resolve_api_key now URL-parses baseUrl and requires http/https +
non-empty netloc before returning the 'local' sentinel. A typo like
baseUrl: 'true' (or bare 'localhost') no longer silently passes the
credential guard; the CLI correctly reports 'not configured'.
Three new tests cover the new validation (garbage strings, non-http
schemes, valid https).
new_session() was popping the old cached session, releasing the lock,
calling get_or_create, then re-acquiring the lock to insert. A concurrent
caller could observe the empty-cache window and race-create its own
session, producing two divergent session objects for the same key.
_cache_lock is an RLock, so nested reacquisition inside get_or_create is
safe. Hold it across the whole pop/create/insert sequence.
Follow-up to #13510 (@hekaru-agent).
When no explicit timeout is configured (HonchoClientConfig.timeout,
honcho.timeout / requestTimeout, or HONCHO_TIMEOUT), get_honcho_client
previously constructed the SDK with no timeout kwarg, letting the
underlying httpx client hang indefinitely if the Honcho backend
became unreachable mid-request.
This is a silent-failure hazard on the post-response path of
run_conversation: the memory_manager.sync_all() / queue_prefetch_all()
calls fire after the agent has already generated its final reply, so
a stalled Honcho request blocks run_conversation from returning.
The gateway never logs "response ready" and never delivers the
response to the platform (Telegram, etc.), even though the text is
already saved to the session file.
Repro: unplug the network or block app.honcho.dev mid-turn after
the model has produced its final message. Without this change,
_run_agent never returns. With it, the call aborts after 30s,
run_conversation returns, and the gateway delivers the response
(Honcho sync failure is logged and swallowed as before).
The default applies only when nothing is configured, so any
deployment that has explicitly set timeout / HONCHO_TIMEOUT /
honcho.timeout / honcho.requestTimeout keeps its existing value.
Self-hosted deployments that genuinely need a longer ceiling can
still override via any of those knobs.
_resolve_api_key() only checks for apiKey / HONCHO_API_KEY, so all
CLI subcommands (identity --show, status, migrate, etc.) bail with
"No API key configured" on self-hosted instances that use baseUrl
without an API key.
Return "local" when baseUrl or HONCHO_BASE_URL is set, matching the
client.py behavior that already handles this case for the SDK.
Tested on: macOS, self-hosted Honcho (Docker, localhost:8000).
Wraps _session_cache mutations in threading.RLock. Without this, concurrent
gateway sessions (e.g., Telegram + Discord hitting Honcho at the same time)
can race on the cache and silently lose conclusions or memory writes.
Adopted from #13510 by @hekaru-agent; the off-topic cron/jobs.py cleanup
hunk from that PR is dropped here for scope isolation. Resolved a small
conflict with the pinPeerName guard (kept both).
Gateway session keys (Matrix "!room:server" + thread event IDs, Telegram
supergroup reply chains, Slack thread IDs with long workspace prefixes) can
exceed Honcho's 100-character session ID limit after sanitization. Every
Honcho API call for those sessions then 400s with "session_id too long".
Add a helper that enforces the 100-char limit after sanitization:
short keys (the common case) short-circuit unchanged; over-limit keys
keep a prefix and append a deterministic `-<8 hex>` SHA-256 suffix over
the original key so two long keys sharing a leading segment can't
collide onto the same truncated ID.
Adds 7 regression tests in tests/honcho_plugin/test_client.py covering
short / exact-limit / long / deterministic / collision-resistant /
allowlist-preserving / hash-suffix-present cases.
CI caught that ``test_session_manager_prefers_runtime_user_id_over_config_peer_name``
in ``tests/agent/test_memory_user_id.py`` failed after this branch: that
test passes a ``MagicMock`` for ``config``, where
``mock.pin_peer_name`` silently returns another ``MagicMock`` — truthy by
default. My ``getattr(..., "pin_peer_name", False)`` fallback was
supposed to guard against callers that haven't added the new attr, but
MagicMock *does* have the attr — it just returns a live mock for it.
Tightened the gate to ``getattr(..., False) is True``. Real configs
built via ``HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config`` always yield a
proper boolean, so strict equality matches the pinned case and rejects
both the unset-attr fallback and MagicMock stand-ins. Added a comment
explaining why ``is True`` is intentional, not paranoid.
Also tightened the ``peer_name`` existence check to
``getattr(..., None)`` so a MagicMock with ``peer_name`` left at its
default (also truthy) doesn't spuriously enable pinning either.
Verified against both the new ``test_pin_peer_name.py`` suite (13/13
pass) and the previously-failing
``TestHonchoUserIdScoping`` (3/3 pass). Zero behaviour change for real
``HonchoClientConfig`` values.

When a gateway drives Hermes (Telegram, Discord, Slack, ...), it passes the
platform-native user ID as ``runtime_user_peer_name`` into the Honcho
session manager. That ID wins over ``peer_name`` in ``honcho.json``, so a
single user who connects over three platforms ends up as three separate
Honcho peers — one per platform — with fragmented memory and no cross-
platform context continuity.
For multi-user bots this is correct (and must not change): each user gets
their own peer scope. For the vast majority of personal Hermes deployments
the configured ``peer_name`` is an unambiguous identity, though, so the
reporter asked for an opt-in knob that pins the user peer to that value.
Fix: new ``pinPeerName`` boolean on the host config, default ``false``.
When ``true`` AND ``peerName`` is set, the configured peer_name beats the
gateway's runtime identity; every other resolution case is unchanged.
honcho.json:
{
"peerName": "Igor",
"hosts": {
"hermes": { "pinPeerName": true }
}
}
session.py (resolution order, pinned case):
runtime_user_peer_name → skipped (opt-in flag active)
config.peer_name → WINS "Igor"
session-key fallback → unreached
Parsing follows the same host-block-overrides-root pattern as every other
flag in HonchoClientConfig.from_global_config (``_resolve_bool`` helper).
Tests (tests/honcho_plugin/test_pin_peer_name.py — 13 cases, 5 groups):
- Config parsing: default, root true, host-block true, host overrides
root, explicit false.
- Peer resolution: runtime wins by default (regression guard for multi-
user bots), config wins when pinned, pin-without-peer_name is a no-op
(prevents silent peer-id collapse to session-key fallback), CLI path
where runtime is absent, deepest fallback intact, assistant peer
untouched by the flag.
- Cross-platform unification: Telegram UID + Discord snowflake collapse
to one peer when pinned; negative control confirms two distinct
runtime IDs still produce two peers when unpinned.
244 honcho_plugin tests pass, 3 pre-existing skips, zero regressions.
Defensive detail: session.py uses ``getattr(self._config, "pin_peer_name",
False)`` so callers building partial config objects (several test fixtures
across the codebase do this) don't break if they haven't updated yet.
Runtime cost: one attr lookup per new session.

* feat(plugins): google_meet — bundled plugin for join+transcribe Meet calls
v1 shipping transcribe-only. Spawns headless Chromium via Playwright,
joins an explicit https://meet.google.com/ URL, enables live captions,
and scrapes them into a transcript file the agent can read across turns.
The agent then has the meeting content in context and can do followup
work (send recap, file issues, schedule followups) with its regular tools.
Surface:
- Tools: meet_join, meet_status, meet_transcript, meet_leave, meet_say
(meet_say is a v1 stub — returns not-implemented; v2 will wire
realtime duplex audio via OpenAI Realtime / Gemini Live +
BlackHole / PulseAudio null-sink.)
- CLI: hermes meet setup | auth | join | status | transcript | stop
- Lifecycle: on_session_end auto-leaves any still-running bot.
Safety:
- URL regex rejects anything that isn't https://meet.google.com/...
- No calendar scanning, no auto-dial, no auto-consent announcement.
- Single active meeting per install; a second meet_join leaves the first.
- Platform-gated to Linux + macOS (Windows audio routing for v2 untested).
- Opt-in: standalone plugin, user must add 'google_meet' to
plugins.enabled in config.yaml.
Zero core changes. Plugin uses existing register_tool /
register_cli_command / register_hook surfaces. 21 new unit tests cover the
URL safety gate, transcript dedup + status round-trip, process-manager
refusals/start/stop paths, tool-handler JSON shape under each branch,
session-end cleanup, and platform-gated register().
* feat(plugins/google_meet): v2 realtime audio + v3 remote node host
v2 \u2014 agent speaks in-meeting
audio_bridge.py: PulseAudio null-sink (Linux) + BlackHole probe (macOS).
On Linux we load pactl module-null-sink + module-virtual-source, track
module ids for teardown; Chrome gets PULSE_SOURCE=<virt src> env so its
fake mic reads what we write to the sink. macOS just probes BlackHole
2ch and returns its device name \u2014 the plugin refuses to switch the
user's default audio input (that would surprise them).
realtime/openai_client.py: sync WebSocket client for the OpenAI Realtime
API. RealtimeSession.speak(text) sends conversation.item.create +
response.create, accumulates response.audio.delta PCM bytes, appends
them to a file. RealtimeSpeaker runs a JSONL-queue loop consuming
meet_say calls. 'websockets' is an optional dep imported lazily.
meet_bot.py: when HERMES_MEET_MODE=realtime, provisions AudioBridge,
starts RealtimeSession + speaker thread, spawns paplay to pump PCM
into the null-sink, then cleans everything up on SIGTERM. If any
realtime setup step fails, falls back cleanly to transcribe mode
with an error flagged in status.json.
process_manager.enqueue_say(): writes a JSONL line to say_queue.jsonl;
refuses when no active meeting or active meeting is transcribe-only.
tools.meet_say: real implementation; requires active mode='realtime'.
meet_join: adds mode='transcribe'|'realtime' param.
v3 \u2014 remote node host
node/protocol.py: JSON envelope (type, id, token, payload) + validate.
node/registry.py: $HERMES_HOME/workspace/meetings/nodes.json, with
resolve() auto-selecting the sole registered node when name is None.
node/server.py: NodeServer \u2014 websockets.serve, bearer-token auth,
dispatches start_bot/stop/status/transcript/say/ping onto the local
process_manager. Token auto-generated + persisted on first run.
node/client.py: NodeClient \u2014 short-lived sync WS per RPC, raises
RuntimeError on error envelopes, clean API matching the server.
node/cli.py: 'hermes meet node {run,list,approve,remove,status,ping}'
subtree; wired into the main meet CLI by cli.py so 'hermes meet node'
Just Works.
tools.py: every meet_* tool accepts node='<name>'|'auto'; when set,
routes through NodeClient to the remote bot instead of running
locally. Unknown node \u2192 clear 'no registered meet node matches ...'
error.
cli.py: 'hermes meet join --node my-mac --mode realtime' and
'hermes meet say "..." --node my-mac' route to the node; 'hermes
meet node approve <name> <url> <token>' registers one.
Tests
21 v1 tests updated (meet_say is no longer a stub; active-record now
carries mode).
20 new audio_bridge + realtime tests.
42 new node tests (protocol/registry/server/client/cli).
17 new v1/v2/v3 integration tests at the plugin level covering
enqueue_say edge cases, env var passthrough, mode validation, node
routing (known/unknown/auto/ambiguous), and argparse wiring for
`hermes meet say` + `hermes meet node` + --mode/--node flags.
Total: 100 plugin tests + 58 plugin-system tests = 158 passing.
E2E verified on Linux with fresh HERMES_HOME: plugin loads, 5 tools
register, on_session_end hook wires, 'hermes meet' CLI tree wires
including the node subtree, NodeRegistry round-trips, meet_join routes
correctly to NodeClient under node='my-mac' with mode='realtime',
enqueue_say accepts realtime/rejects transcribe, argparse parses every
new flag cleanly.
Zero changes to core. All new code lives under plugins/google_meet/.
* feat(plugins/google_meet): auto-install, admission detect, mac PCM pump, barge-in, richer status
Ready-for-live-test follow-up on PR #16364. Five additions that matter for
the first live run on a real Meet, in priority order:
1. hermes meet install [--realtime] [--yes]
pip install playwright websockets + python -m playwright install chromium
--realtime: installs platform audio deps (pulseaudio-utils on Linux via
sudo apt, blackhole-2ch + ffmpeg on macOS via brew). Prompts before
sudo/brew unless --yes. Refuses on Windows. Refuses to auto-flip the
macOS default input — user still selects BlackHole in System Settings
(deliberate; surprise audio rerouting is worse than a manual step).
2. Admission detection
_detect_admission(page): Leave-button visible OR caption region
attached OR participants list present → we're in-call.
_detect_denied(page): 'You can\'t join this video call' / 'You were
removed' / 'No one responded to your request' → bail out.
HERMES_MEET_LOBBY_TIMEOUT (default 300s) caps how long we sit in
the lobby before giving up. in_call stays False until admitted.
Status surfaces leaveReason: duration_expired | lobby_timeout |
denied | page_closed.
3. macOS PCM pump
ffmpeg reads speaker.pcm (24kHz s16le mono) and writes to the
BlackHole AVFoundation output via -f audiotoolbox
-audio_device_index <N>. _mac_audio_device_index() probes
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true to resolve 'BlackHole 2ch'
→ numeric index. Falls back to index 0 on probe failure. Linux
paplay pump unchanged.
4. Richer status dict
_BotState now tracks realtime, realtimeReady, realtimeDevice,
audioBytesOut, lastAudioOutAt, lastBargeInAt, joinAttemptedAt,
leaveReason. RealtimeSession.audio_bytes_out / last_audio_out_at
counters fold into the status file once a second so meet_status()
can show the agent's voice activity in near-real-time.
5. Barge-in
RealtimeSession.cancel_response() sends type='response.cancel' over
the same WS (lock-guarded so it's safe to call from the caption
thread while speak() is reading frames). Handles response.cancelled
as a terminal frame type. _looks_like_human_speaker() gates triggers
so the bot's own name, 'You', 'Unknown', and blanks don't self-cancel.
Called from the caption drain loop: when a new caption arrives
attributed to a real participant while rt.session exists, we fire
cancel_response() and stamp lastBargeInAt.
Tests: 20 new unit tests across _BotState telemetry, barge-in gating,
admission/denied probe error handling, cancel_response with and without
a connected WS, and `hermes meet install` CLI wiring (flag parsing +
end-to-end subprocess.run verification + Linux-already-installed fast
path). Total 171 passing across all google_meet test files + the
plugin-system regression suite.
E2E verified on Linux: plugin loads, all 5 tools register,
`hermes meet install --realtime --yes` parses, fresh-bot status.json
has every new telemetry key, cancel_response on a disconnected session
returns False without raising, barge-in helper gates the bot's own
name correctly.
Still out of scope (for a future PR, not blocking live test):
mic → Realtime duplex (the agent listening to meeting audio via
WebRTC), node-host TLS/pairing UX, Windows audio, Meet create+Twilio.
Docs updated: SKILL.md now lists the installer subcommand, lobby
timeout, barge-in caveat, and the full status-dict reference table.
README.md quick-start uses hermes meet install.
HindsightEmbedded.close() delegates to its sync client.close(). When Hermes
created/used that client on the shared async loop, closing it from the main
thread raises 'attached to a different loop' before aiohttp releases the
session — so the ClientSession / TCPConnector leak past provider teardown.
Close the embedded inner async client on the shared loop first via
_run_sync(inner_client.aclose()), then let the wrapper's sync close()
do its daemon/UI bookkeeping.
Salvage of #14605: test placement rebased — appended TestShutdown class
after TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle (which landed on main after the PR was
written). Original author attribution preserved.
The AIAgent.flush_memories pre-compression save, the gateway
_flush_memories_for_session, and everything feeding them are
obsolete now that the background memory/skill review handles
persistent memory extraction.
Problems with flush_memories:
- Pre-dates the background review loop. It was the only memory-save
path when introduced; the background review now fires every 10 user
turns on CLI and gateway alike, which is far more frequent than
compression or session reset ever triggered flush.
- Blocking and synchronous. Pre-compression flush ran on the live agent
before compression, blocking the user-visible response.
- Cache-breaking. Flush built a temporary conversation prefix
(system prompt + memory-only tool list) that diverged from the live
conversation's cached prefix, invalidating prompt caching. The
gateway variant spawned a fresh AIAgent with its own clean prompt
for each finalized session — still cache-breaking, just in a
different process.
- Redundant. Background review runs in the live conversation's
session context, gets the same content, writes to the same memory
store, and doesn't break the cache. Everything flush_memories
claimed to preserve is already covered.
What this removes:
- AIAgent.flush_memories() method (~248 LOC in run_agent.py)
- Pre-compression flush call in _compress_context
- flush_memories call sites in cli.py (/new + exit)
- GatewayRunner._flush_memories_for_session + _async_flush_memories
(and the 3 call sites: session expiry watcher, /new, /resume)
- 'flush_memories' entry from DEFAULT_CONFIG auxiliary tasks,
hermes tools UI task list, auxiliary_client docstrings
- _memory_flush_min_turns config + init
- #15631's headroom-deduction math in
_check_compression_model_feasibility (headroom was only needed
because flush dragged the full main-agent system prompt along;
the compression summariser sends a single user-role prompt so
new_threshold = aux_context is safe again)
- The dedicated test files and assertions that exercised
flush-specific paths
What this renames (with read-time backcompat on sessions.json):
- SessionEntry.memory_flushed -> SessionEntry.expiry_finalized.
The session-expiry watcher still uses the flag to avoid re-running
finalize/eviction on the same expired session; the new name
reflects what it now actually gates. from_dict() reads
'expiry_finalized' first, falls back to the legacy 'memory_flushed'
key so existing sessions.json files upgrade seamlessly.
Supersedes #15631 and #15638.
Tested: 383 targeted tests pass across run_agent/, agent/, cli/,
and gateway/ session-boundary suites. No behavior regressions —
background memory review continues to handle persistent memory
extraction on both CLI and gateway.
* fix(terminal): three-layer defense against watch_patterns notification spam
Background processes that stack notify_on_complete=True with watch_patterns
can flood the user with duplicate, delayed notifications — matches deliver
asynchronously via the completion queue and continue arriving minutes after
the process has exited. The docstring warning against this (PR #12113) has
proven insufficient; agents still misuse the combination.
Three layered defenses, each sufficient on its own:
1. Mutual exclusion (terminal_tool.py): When both flags are set on a
background process, drop watch_patterns with a warning. notify_on_complete
wins because 'let me know when it's done' is the more useful signal and
fires exactly once. Extracted as _resolve_notification_flag_conflict() so
the rule is testable in isolation.
2. Suppress-after-exit (process_registry.py): _check_watch_patterns() now
bails the moment session.exited is True. Post-exit chunks (buffered reads
draining after the process is gone) no longer produce notifications. This
is the fix flagged as future work in session 20260418_020302_79881c.
3. Global circuit breaker (process_registry.py): Per-session rate limits don't
catch the sibling-flood case — N concurrent processes can each stay under
8/10s and still collectively spam. New WATCH_GLOBAL_MAX_PER_WINDOW=15 cap
trips a 30-second cooldown across ALL sessions, emits a single
watch_overflow_tripped event, silently counts dropped events, and emits a
watch_overflow_released summary when the cooldown ends.
Also updates the tool schema + docstring to document the new behavior.
Tests: 8 new tests covering all three fixes (suppress-after-exit x2,
mutual-exclusion resolver x4, global breaker trip/cooldown/release x2).
All 60 tests across test_watch_patterns.py, test_notify_on_complete.py,
test_terminal_tool.py pass.
Real-world trigger: self-inflicted in session 20260425_051924 — three
concurrent hermes-sweeper review subprocesses each set watch_patterns=
['failed validation', 'errored'] AND notify_on_complete=True, then iterated
over multiple items, producing enough matches per process to defeat the
per-session cap while staying under the global cap that didn't yet exist.
* fix(terminal): aggressive 1-per-15s watch_patterns rate limit + strike-3 promotion
Per Teknium's direction, the watch_patterns rate limit is now much more
aggressive and self-healing.
## New rule — per session
- HARD cap: 1 watch-match notification per 15 seconds per process.
- Any match arriving inside the cooldown window is dropped and counts as
ONE strike for that window (many drops in the same window still = 1 strike).
- After 3 consecutive strike windows, watch_patterns is permanently disabled
for the session and the session is auto-promoted to notify_on_complete
semantics — exactly one notification when the process actually exits.
- A cooldown window that expires with zero drops resets the consecutive
strike counter — healthy cadence is forgiven.
## Schema + docstring rewritten
The tool schema description now gives the model explicit guidance:
- notify_on_complete is 'the right choice for almost every long-running task'
- watch_patterns is for RARE one-shot signals on LONG-LIVED processes
- Do NOT use watch_patterns with loops/batch jobs — error patterns fire every
iteration and will hit the strike limit fast
- Mutual exclusion is stated on both parameter descriptions
- 1/15s cooldown and 3-strike promotion are stated in the watch_patterns
description so the model sees the contract every turn
## Removed
- WATCH_MAX_PER_WINDOW (8/10s) and WATCH_OVERLOAD_KILL_SECONDS (45) — the
new 1/15s limit subsumes both; keeping them would double-count.
- _watch_window_hits / _watch_window_start / _watch_overload_since fields
on ProcessSession. Replaced by _watch_last_emit_at / _watch_cooldown_until
/ _watch_strike_candidate / _watch_consecutive_strikes.
## Kept
- Global circuit breaker across all sessions (15/10s → 30s cooldown) as a
secondary safety net for concurrent siblings. Still valuable when 20
short-lived processes each fire once — none individually violates the
per-session limit.
- Suppress-after-exit guard.
- Mutual exclusion resolver at the tool entry point.
## Tests
- 6 new tests in TestPerSessionRateLimit covering: first match delivers,
second in cooldown suppressed, multi-drop = single strike, 3 strikes
disables + promotes, clean window resets counter, suppressed count
carried to next emit.
- Global circuit breaker tests rewritten to use fresh sessions instead of
hacking removed per-window fields.
- 50/50 watch_patterns + notify_on_complete tests pass.
- 60/60 including test_terminal_tool.py pass.
* feat(dashboard): page-scoped plugin slots for built-in pages
Dashboard plugins can now inject components into specific built-in
pages (Sessions, Analytics, Logs, Cron, Skills, Config, Env, Docs,
Chat) without overriding the whole route.
Previously, plugins could only:
1. Add new tabs (tab.path)
2. Replace whole built-in pages (tab.override)
3. Inject into global shell slots (header-*, footer-*, pre-main, ...)
None of those let a plugin add a banner, card, or widget to an
existing page. The new <page>:top / <page>:bottom slots close that
gap, reusing the existing registerSlot() API.
Changes
- web/src/plugins/slots.ts: 18 new KNOWN_SLOT_NAMES entries
(sessions:top, sessions:bottom, analytics:top, ..., chat:bottom),
grouped under "Shell-wide" vs "Page-scoped" in the docblock
- web/src/pages/*: each built-in page now renders
<PluginSlot name="<page>:top" />
as the first child of its outer wrapper and
<PluginSlot name="<page>:bottom" />
as the last child -- zero visual cost when no plugin registers
- plugins/example-dashboard: registers a demo banner into
sessions:top via registerSlot(), with matching slots entry in
the manifest -- so freshly-setup users can see what page-scoped
slots look like without writing any plugin code
- website/docs: new "Page-scoped slots" table in the plugin
authoring guide, with a worked example
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py: round-trip test for
colon-bearing slot names (sessions:top, analytics:bottom, ...)
Validation
- npm run build: clean (tsc -b + vite build, 2761 modules)
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py::TestDashboardPluginManifestExtensions: 5/5 pass
Moves the Spotify integration from tools/ into plugins/spotify/,
matching the existing pattern established by plugins/image_gen/ for
third-party service integrations.
Why:
- tools/ should be reserved for foundational capabilities (terminal,
read_file, web_search, etc.). tools/providers/ was a one-off
directory created solely for spotify_client.py.
- plugins/ is already the home for image_gen backends, memory
providers, context engines, and standalone hook-based plugins.
Spotify is a third-party service integration and belongs alongside
those, not in tools/.
- Future service integrations (eventually: Deezer, Apple Music, etc.)
now have a pattern to copy.
Changes:
- tools/spotify_tool.py → plugins/spotify/tools.py (handlers + schemas)
- tools/providers/spotify_client.py → plugins/spotify/client.py
- tools/providers/ removed (was only used for Spotify)
- New plugins/spotify/__init__.py with register(ctx) calling
ctx.register_tool() × 7. The handler/check_fn wiring is unchanged.
- New plugins/spotify/plugin.yaml (kind: backend, bundled, auto-load).
- tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py: import paths updated.
tools_config fix — _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS now wins over plugin auto-enable:
- _get_platform_tools() previously auto-enabled unknown plugin
toolsets for new platforms. That was fine for image_gen (which has
no toolset of its own) but bad for Spotify, which explicitly
requires opt-in (don't ship 7 tool schemas to users who don't use
it). Added a check: if a plugin toolset is in _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS,
it stays off until the user picks it in 'hermes tools'.
Pre-existing test bug fix:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::test_list_returns_sorted
asserted names were sorted, but list_plugins() sorts by key
(path-derived, e.g. image_gen/openai). With only image_gen plugins
bundled, name and key order happened to agree. Adding plugins/spotify
broke that coincidence (spotify sorts between openai-codex and xai
by name but after xai by key). Updated test to assert key order,
which is what the code actually documents.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_spotify_auth.py \
tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py \
tests/tools/test_registry.py
→ 143 passed
- E2E plugin load: 'spotify' appears in loaded plugins, all 7 tools
register into the spotify toolset, check_fn gating intact.
Adds an optional bank_id_template config that derives the bank name at
initialize() time from runtime context. Existing users with a static
bank_id keep the current behavior (template is empty by default).
Supported placeholders:
{profile} — active Hermes profile (agent_identity kwarg)
{workspace} — Hermes workspace (agent_workspace kwarg)
{platform} — cli, telegram, discord, etc.
{user} — platform user id (gateway sessions)
{session} — session id
Unsafe characters in placeholder values are sanitized, and empty
placeholders collapse cleanly (e.g. "hermes-{user}" with no user
becomes "hermes"). If the template renders empty, the static bank_id
is used as a fallback.
Common uses:
bank_id_template: hermes-{profile} # isolate per Hermes profile
bank_id_template: {workspace}-{profile} # workspace + profile scoping
bank_id_template: hermes-{user} # per-user banks for gateway
Reusing session_id as document_id caused data loss on /resume: when
the session is loaded again, _session_turns starts empty and the next
retain replaces the entire previously stored content.
Now each process lifecycle gets its own document_id formed as
{session_id}-{startup_timestamp}, so:
- Same session, same process: turns accumulate into one document (existing behavior)
- Resume (new process, same session): writes a new document, old one preserved
- Forks: child process gets its own document; parent's doc is untouched
Also adds session lineage tags so all processes for the same session
(or its parent) can still be filtered together via recall:
- session:<session_id> on every retain
- parent:<parent_session_id> when initialized with parent_session_id
Closes#6602
The previous commit added HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT as a configurable env var,
but _run_sync still used the hardcoded _DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (120s). All
async operations (recall, retain, reflect, aclose) now go through an
instance method that uses self._timeout, so the configured value is
actually applied.
Also: added backward-compatible alias comment for the module-level
function.
The Hindsight Cloud API can take 30-40 seconds per request. The
hardcoded 30s timeout was too aggressive and caused frequent
timeout errors. This patch:
1. Adds HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT environment variable (default: 120s)
2. Adds timeout to the config schema for setup wizard visibility
3. Uses the configurable timeout in both _run_sync() and client creation
4. Reads from config.json or env var, falling back to 120s default
This makes the timeout upgrade-proof — users can set it via env var
or config without patching source code.

The module-global `_loop` / `_loop_thread` pair is shared across every
`HindsightMemoryProvider` instance in the process — the plugin loader
creates one provider per `AIAgent`, and the gateway creates one `AIAgent`
per concurrent chat session (Telegram/Discord/Slack/CLI).
`HindsightMemoryProvider.shutdown()` stopped the shared loop when any one
session ended. That stranded the aiohttp `ClientSession` and `TCPConnector`
owned by every sibling provider on a now-dead loop — they were never
reachable for close and surfaced as the `Unclosed client session` /
`Unclosed connector` warnings reported in #11923.
Fix: stop stopping the shared loop in `shutdown()`. Per-provider cleanup
still closes that provider's own client via `self._client.aclose()`. The
loop runs on a daemon thread and is reclaimed on process exit; keeping
it alive between provider shutdowns means sibling providers can drain
their own sessions cleanly.
Regression tests in `tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py`
(`TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle`):
- `test_shutdown_does_not_stop_shared_event_loop` — two providers share
the loop; shutting down one leaves the loop live for the other. This
test reproduces the #11923 leak on `main` and passes with the fix.
- `test_client_aclose_called_on_cloud_mode_shutdown` — each provider's
own aiohttp session is still closed via `aclose()`.
Fixes#11923.
When user runs
✓ Memory provider: built-in only
Saved to config.yaml and leaves the API key blank,
the old code skipped writing it entirely. This caused the uvx daemon
launcher to fail at startup because it couldn't distinguish between
"key not configured" and "explicitly blank key."
Now HINDSIGHT_LLM_API_KEY is always written to .env so the value
is either set or explicitly empty.
Themes and plugins can now pull off arbitrary dashboard reskins (cockpit
HUD, retro terminal, etc.) without touching core code.
Themes gain four new fields:
- layoutVariant: standard | cockpit | tiled — shell layout selector
- assets: {bg, hero, logo, crest, sidebar, header, custom: {...}} —
artwork URLs exposed as --theme-asset-* CSS vars
- customCSS: raw CSS injected as a scoped <style> tag on theme apply
(32 KiB cap, cleaned up on theme switch)
- componentStyles: per-component CSS-var overrides (clipPath,
borderImage, background, boxShadow, ...) for card/header/sidebar/
backdrop/tab/progress/badge/footer/page
Plugin manifests gain three new fields:
- tab.override: replaces a built-in route instead of adding a tab
- tab.hidden: register component + slots without adding a nav entry
- slots: declares shell slots the plugin populates
10 named shell slots: backdrop, header-left/right/banner, sidebar,
pre-main, post-main, footer-left/right, overlay. Plugins register via
window.__HERMES_PLUGINS__.registerSlot(name, slot, Component). A
<PluginSlot> React helper is exported on the plugin SDK.
Ships a full demo at plugins/strike-freedom-cockpit/ — theme YAML +
slot-only plugin that reproduces a Gundam cockpit dashboard: MS-STATUS
sidebar with live telemetry, COMPASS crest in header, notched card
corners via componentStyles, scanline overlay via customCSS, gold/cyan
palette, Orbitron typography.
Validation:
- 15 new tests in test_web_server.py covering every extended field
- tests/hermes_cli/: 2615 passed (3 pre-existing unrelated failures)
- tsc -b --noEmit: clean
- vite build: 418 kB bundle, ~2 kB delta for slots/theme extensions

The agent-facing image_generate tool only passes prompt + aspect_ratio to
provider.generate() (see tools/image_generation_tool.py:953). The editing
block (reference_images / edit_image kwargs) could never fire from the
tool surface, and the xAI edits endpoint is /images/edits with a
different payload shape anyway — not /images/generations as submitted.
- Remove reference_images / edit_image kwargs handling from generate()
- Remove matching test_with_reference_images case
- Update docstring + plugin.yaml description to text-to-image only
- Surface resolution in the success extras
Follow-up to PR #14547. Tests: 18/18 pass.
New built-in image_gen backend at plugins/image_gen/openai-codex/ that
exposes the same gpt-image-2 low/medium/high tier catalog as the
existing 'openai' plugin, but routes generation through the ChatGPT/
Codex Responses image_generation tool path. Available whenever the user
has Codex OAuth signed in; no OPENAI_API_KEY required.
The two plugins are independent — users select between them via
'hermes tools' → Image Generation, and image_gen.provider in
config.yaml. The existing 'openai' (API-key) plugin is unchanged.
Reuses _read_codex_access_token() and _codex_cloudflare_headers() from
agent.auxiliary_client so token expiry / cred-pool / Cloudflare
originator handling stays in one place.
Inspired by #14047 by @Hygaard, but re-implemented as a separate
plugin instead of an in-place fork of the openai plugin.
Closes#11195
- Add configurable retain_tags / retain_source / retain_user_prefix /
retain_assistant_prefix knobs for native Hindsight.
- Thread gateway session identity (user_name, chat_id, chat_name,
chat_type, thread_id) through AIAgent and MemoryManager into
MemoryProvider.initialize kwargs so providers can scope and tag
retained memories.
- Hindsight attaches the new identity fields as retain metadata,
merges per-call tool tags with configured default tags, and uses
the configurable transcript labels for auto-retained turns.

* feat(plugins): pluggable image_gen backends + OpenAI provider
Adds a ImageGenProvider ABC so image generation backends register as
bundled plugins under `plugins/image_gen/<name>/`. The plugin scanner
gains three primitives to make this work generically:
- `kind:` manifest field (`standalone` | `backend` | `exclusive`).
Bundled `kind: backend` plugins auto-load — no `plugins.enabled`
incantation. User-installed backends stay opt-in.
- Path-derived keys: `plugins/image_gen/openai/` gets key
`image_gen/openai`, so a future `tts/openai` cannot collide.
- Depth-2 recursion into category namespaces (parent dirs without a
`plugin.yaml` of their own).
Includes `OpenAIImageGenProvider` as the first consumer (gpt-image-1.5
default, plus gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, DALL-E 3/2). Base64
responses save to `$HERMES_HOME/cache/images/`; URL responses pass
through.
FAL stays in-tree for this PR — a follow-up ports it into
`plugins/image_gen/fal/` so the in-tree `image_generation_tool.py`
slims down. The dispatch shim in `_handle_image_generate` only fires
when `image_gen.provider` is explicitly set to a non-FAL value, so
existing FAL setups are untouched.
- 41 unit tests (scanner recursion, kind parsing, gate logic,
registry, OpenAI payload shapes)
- E2E smoke verified: bundled plugin autoloads, registers, and
`_handle_image_generate` routes to OpenAI when configured
* fix(image_gen/openai): don't send response_format to gpt-image-*
The live API rejects it: 'Unknown parameter: response_format'
(verified 2026-04-21 with gpt-image-1.5). gpt-image-* models return
b64_json unconditionally, so the parameter was both unnecessary and
actively broken.
* feat(image_gen/openai): gpt-image-2 only, drop legacy catalog
gpt-image-2 is the latest/best OpenAI image model (released 2026-04-21)
and there's no reason to expose the older gpt-image-1.5 / gpt-image-1 /
dall-e-3 / dall-e-2 alongside it — slower, lower quality, or awkward
(dall-e-2 squares only). Trim the catalog down to a single model.
Live-verified end-to-end: landscape 1536x1024 render of a Moog-style
synth matches prompt exactly, 2.4MB PNG saved to cache.
* feat(image_gen/openai): expose gpt-image-2 as three quality tiers
Users pick speed/fidelity via the normal model picker instead of a
hidden quality knob. All three tier IDs resolve to the single underlying
gpt-image-2 API model with a different quality parameter:
gpt-image-2-low ~15s fast iteration
gpt-image-2-medium ~40s default
gpt-image-2-high ~2min highest fidelity
Live-measured on OpenAI's API today: 15.4s / 40.8s / 116.9s for the
same 1024x1024 prompt.
Config:
image_gen.openai.model: gpt-image-2-high
# or
image_gen.model: gpt-image-2-low
# or env var for scripts/tests
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL=gpt-image-2-medium
Live-verified end-to-end with the low tier: 18.8s landscape render of a
golden retriever in wildflowers, vision-confirmed exact match.
* feat(tools_config): plugin image_gen providers inject themselves into picker
'hermes tools' → Image Generation now shows plugin-registered backends
alongside Nous Subscription and FAL.ai without tools_config.py needing
to know about them. OpenAI appears as a third option today; future
backends appear automatically as they're added.
Mechanism:
- ImageGenProvider gains an optional get_setup_schema() hook
(name, badge, tag, env_vars). Default derived from display_name.
- tools_config._plugin_image_gen_providers() pulls the schemas from
every registered non-FAL plugin provider.
- _visible_providers() appends those rows when rendering the Image
Generation category.
- _configure_provider() handles the new image_gen_plugin_name marker:
writes image_gen.provider and routes to the plugin's list_models()
catalog for the model picker.
- _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt('image_gen') stops demanding a
FAL key when any plugin provider reports is_available().
FAL is skipped in the plugin path because it already has hardcoded
TOOL_CATEGORIES rows — when it gets ported to a plugin in a follow-up
PR the hardcoded rows go away and it surfaces through the same path
as OpenAI.
Verified live: picker shows Nous Subscription / FAL.ai / OpenAI.
Picking OpenAI prompts for OPENAI_API_KEY, then shows the
gpt-image-2-low/medium/high model picker sourced from the plugin.
397 tests pass across plugins/, tools_config, registry, and picker.
* fix(image_gen): close final gaps for plugin-backend parity with FAL
Two small places that still hardcoded FAL:
- hermes_cli/setup.py status line: an OpenAI-only setup showed
'Image Generation: missing FAL_KEY'. Now probes plugin providers
and reports '(OpenAI)' when one is_available() — or falls back to
'missing FAL_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY' if nothing is configured.
- image_generate tool schema description: said 'using FAL.ai, default
FLUX 2 Klein 9B'. Rewrote provider-neutral — 'backend and model are
user-configured' — and notes the 'image' field can be a URL or an
absolute path, which the gateway delivers either way via
extract_local_files().
The original name was cute but non-obvious; disk-cleanup says what it
does. Plugin directory, script, state path, log lines, slash command,
and test module all renamed. No user-visible state exists yet, so no
migration path is needed.
New website page "Built-in Plugins" documents the <repo>/plugins/<name>/
source, how discovery interacts with user/project plugins, the
HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS escape hatch, disk-cleanup's hook
behaviour and deletion rules, and guidance on when a plugin belongs
bundled vs. user-installable. Added to the Features → Core sidebar next
to the main Plugins page, with a cross-reference from plugins.md.
Rewires @LVT382009's disk-guardian (PR #12212) from a skill-plus-script
into a plugin that runs entirely via hooks — no agent compliance needed.
- post_tool_call hook auto-tracks files created by write_file / terminal
/ patch when they match test_/tmp_/*.test.* patterns under HERMES_HOME
- on_session_end hook runs cmd_quick cleanup when test files were
auto-tracked during the turn; stays quiet otherwise
- /disk-guardian slash command keeps status / dry-run / quick / deep /
track / forget for manual use
- Deterministic cleanup rules, path safety, atomic writes, and audit
logging preserved from the original contribution
- Protect well-known top-level state dirs (logs/, memories/, sessions/,
cron/, cache/, etc.) from empty-dir removal so fresh installs don't
get gutted on first session end
The plugin system gains a bundled-plugin discovery path (<repo>/plugins/
<name>/) alongside user/project/entry-point sources. Memory and
context_engine subdirs are skipped — they keep their own discovery
paths. HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS=1 suppresses the scan; the test
conftest sets it by default so existing plugin tests stay clean.

Setup wizard now always writes dialecticCadence=2 on new configs and
surfaces the reasoning level as an explicit step with all five options
(minimal / low / medium / high / max), always writing
dialecticReasoningLevel.
Code keeps a backwards-compat fallback of 1 when dialecticCadence is
unset so existing honcho.json configs that predate the setting keep
firing every turn on upgrade. New setups via the wizard get 2
explicitly; docs show 2 as the default.
Also scrubs editorial lines from code and docs ("max is reserved for
explicit tool-path selection", "Unset → every turn; wizard pre-fills 2",
and similar process-exposing phrasing) and adds an inline link to
app.honcho.dev where the server-side observation sync is mentioned in
honcho.md. Recommended cadence range updated to 1-5 across docs and
wizard copy.
Hardens the dialectic lifecycle against three failure modes that could
leave the prefetch pipeline stuck or injecting stale content:
- Stale-thread watchdog: _thread_is_live() treats any prefetch thread
older than timeout × 2.0 as dead. A hung Honcho call can no longer
block subsequent fires indefinitely.
- Stale-result discard: pending _prefetch_result is tagged with its
fire turn. prefetch() discards the result if more than cadence × 2
turns passed before a consumer read it (e.g. a run of trivial-prompt
turns between fire and read).
- Empty-streak backoff: consecutive empty dialectic returns widen the
effective cadence (dialectic_cadence + streak, capped at cadence × 8).
A healthy fire resets the streak. Prevents the plugin from hammering
the backend every turn when the peer graph is cold.
- liveness_snapshot() on the provider exposes current turn, last fire,
pending fire-at, empty streak, effective cadence, and thread status
for in-process diagnostics.
- system_prompt_block: nudge the model that honcho_reasoning accepts
reasoning_level minimal/low/medium/high/max per call.
- hermes honcho status: surface base reasoning level, cap, and heuristic
toggle so config drift is visible at a glance.
Tests: 550 passed.
- TestDialecticLiveness (8 tests): stale-thread recovery, stale-result
discard, fresh-result retention, backoff widening, backoff ceiling,
streak reset on success, streak increment on empty, snapshot shape.
- Existing TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess::test_in_flight_thread_is_not_stacked
updated to set _prefetch_thread_started_at so it tests the
fresh-thread-blocks branch (stale path covered separately).
- test_cli TestCmdStatus fake updated with the new config attrs surfaced
in the status block.
- cli: setup wizard pre-fills dialecticCadence=2 (code default stays 1
so unset → every turn)
- honcho.md: fix stale dialecticCadence default in tables, add
Session-Start Prewarm subsection (depth runs at init), add
Query-Adaptive Reasoning Level subsection, expand Observation
section with directional vs unified semantics and per-peer patterns
- memory-providers.md: fix stale default, rename Multi-agent/Profiles
to Multi-peer setup, add concrete walkthrough for new profiles and
sync, document observation toggles + presets, link to honcho.md
- SKILL.md: fix stale defaults, add Depth at session start callout
- Revert website/docs and SKILL.md changes; docs unification handled separately
- Scrub commit/PR refs and process narration from code comments and test
docstrings (no behavior change)
Several correctness and cost-safety fixes to the Honcho dialectic path
after a multi-turn investigation surfaced a chain of silent failures:
- dialecticCadence default flipped 3 → 1. PR #10619 changed this from 1 to
3 for cost, but existing installs with no explicit config silently went
from per-turn dialectic to every-3-turns on upgrade. Restores pre-#10619
behavior; 3+ remains available for cost-conscious setups. Docs + wizard
+ status output updated to match.
- Session-start prewarm now consumed. Previously fired a .chat() on init
whose result landed in HonchoSessionManager._dialectic_cache and was
never read — pop_dialectic_result had zero call sites. Turn 1 paid for
a duplicate synchronous dialectic. Prewarm now writes directly to the
plugin's _prefetch_result via _prefetch_lock so turn 1 consumes it with
no extra call.
- Prewarm is now dialecticDepth-aware. A single-pass prewarm can return
weak output on cold peers; the multi-pass audit/reconcile cycle is
exactly the case dialecticDepth was built for. Prewarm now runs the
full configured depth in the background.
- Silent dialectic failure no longer burns the cadence window.
_last_dialectic_turn now advances only when the result is non-empty.
Empty result → next eligible turn retries immediately instead of
waiting the full cadence gap.
- Thread pile-up guard. queue_prefetch skips when a prior dialectic
thread is still in-flight, preventing stacked races on _prefetch_result.
- First-turn sync timeout is recoverable. Previously on timeout the
background thread's result was stored in a dead local list. Now the
thread writes into _prefetch_result under lock so the next turn
picks it up.
- Cadence gate applies uniformly. At cadence=1 the old "cadence > 1"
guard let first-turn sync + same-turn queue_prefetch both fire.
Gate now always applies.
- Restored query-length reasoning-level scaling, dropped in 9a0ab34c.
Scales dialecticReasoningLevel up on longer queries (+1 at ≥120 chars,
+2 at ≥400), clamped at reasoningLevelCap. Two new config keys:
`reasoningHeuristic` (bool, default true) and `reasoningLevelCap`
(string, default "high"; previously parsed but never enforced).
Respects dialecticDepthLevels and proportional lighter-early passes.
- Restored short-prompt skip, dropped in ef7f3156. One-word
acknowledgements ("ok", "y", "thanks") and slash commands bypass
both injection and dialectic fire.
- Purged dead code in session.py: prefetch_dialectic, _dialectic_cache,
set_dialectic_result, pop_dialectic_result — all unused after prewarm
refactor.
Tests: 542 passed across honcho_plugin/, agent/test_memory_provider.py,
and run_agent/test_run_agent.py. New coverage:
- TestTrivialPromptHeuristic (classifier + prefetch/queue skip)
- TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess (empty-result retry, pile-up guard)
- TestSessionStartDialecticPrewarm (prewarm consumed, sync fallback)
- TestReasoningHeuristic (length bumps, cap clamp, interaction with depth)
- TestDialecticLifecycleSmoke (end-to-end 8-turn session walk)

The honcho_conclude tool schema used anyOf with nested required
fields which is unsupported by Fireworks AI, MiniMax, and other
providers that only handle basic JSON Schema. The handler already
validates that conclusion or delete_id is present (line 1018-1020),
so the schema constraint was redundant.
Replace with required: [] and let the handler reject bad calls.
* fix: show correct env var name in provider API key error (#9506)
The error message for missing provider API keys dynamically built
the env var name as PROVIDER_API_KEY (e.g. ALIBABA_API_KEY), but
some providers use different names (alibaba uses DASHSCOPE_API_KEY).
Users following the error message set the wrong variable.
Fix: look up the actual env var from PROVIDER_REGISTRY before
building the error. Falls back to the dynamic name if the registry
lookup fails.
Closes#9506
* fix: five HERMES_HOME profile-isolation leaks (#5947)
Bug A: Thread session_title from session_db to memory provider init kwargs
so honcho can derive chat-scoped session keys instead of falling back to
cwd-based naming that merges all gateway users into one session.
Bug B: Replace 14 hardcoded ~/.hermes/skills/ paths across 10 skill files
with HERMES_HOME-aware alternatives (${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes} in
shell, os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) in Python).
Bug C: install.sh now respects HERMES_HOME env var and adds --hermes-home
flag. Previously --dir only set INSTALL_DIR while HERMES_HOME was always
hardcoded to $HOME/.hermes.
Bug D: Remove hardcoded ~/.hermes/honcho.json fallback in resolve_config_path().
Non-default profiles no longer silently inherit the default profile's honcho
config. Falls through to ~/.honcho/config.json (global) instead.
Bug E: Guard _edit_skill, _patch_skill, _delete_skill, _write_file, and
_remove_file against writing to skills found in external_dirs. Skills
outside the local SKILLS_DIR are now read-only from the agent's perspective.
Closes#5947
Memory provider discovery (discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider)
only scanned the bundled plugins/memory/ directory. User-installed providers
at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/ were invisible, forcing users to symlink
into the repo source tree — which broke on hermes update and created a
dual-registration path causing duplicate tool names (400 errors on strict
providers like Xiaomi MiMo).
Changes:
- Add _get_user_plugins_dir(), _is_memory_provider_dir(), _iter_provider_dirs(),
and find_provider_dir() helpers to plugins/memory/__init__.py
- discover_memory_providers() now scans both bundled and user dirs
- load_memory_provider() uses find_provider_dir() (bundled-first)
- discover_plugin_cli_commands() uses find_provider_dir()
- _install_dependencies() in memory_setup.py uses find_provider_dir()
- User plugins use _hermes_user_memory namespace to avoid sys.modules collisions
- Non-memory user plugins filtered via source text heuristic
- Bundled providers always take precedence on name collisions
Fixes#4956, #9099. Supersedes #4987, #9123, #9130, #9132, #9982.
OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end

Replace hasattr-forked OpenViking-specific paths with a proper base-class
hook. Collapse the two agent wrappers into a single rotate_memory_session
so callers don't orchestrate commit + rebind themselves.
- MemoryProvider: add on_session_reset(new_session_id) as a default no-op
- MemoryManager: on_session_reset fans out unconditionally (no hasattr,
no builtin skip — base no-op covers it)
- OpenViking: rename reset_session -> on_session_reset; drop the explicit
POST /api/v1/sessions (OV auto-creates on first message) and the two
debug raise_for_status wrappers
- AIAgent: collapse commit_memory_session + reinitialize_memory_session
into rotate_memory_session(new_sid, messages)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: replace hasattr blocks and the split calls with
a single unconditional rotate_memory_session call; compression path
now passes the real messages list instead of []
- tests: align with on_session_reset, assert reset does NOT POST /sessions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The OpenViking memory provider extracts memories when its session is
committed (POST /api/v1/sessions/{id}/commit). Before this fix, the
CLI had two code paths that changed the active session_id without ever
committing the outgoing OpenViking session:
1. /new (new_session() in cli.py) — called flush_memories() to write
MEMORY.md, then immediately discarded the old session_id. The
accumulated OpenViking session was never committed, so all context
from that session was lost before extraction could run.
2. /compress and auto-compress (_compress_context() in run_agent.py) —
split the SQLite session (new session_id) but left the OpenViking
provider pointing at the old session_id with no commit, meaning all
messages synced to OpenViking were silently orphaned.
The gateway already handles session commit on /new and /reset via
shutdown_memory_provider() on the cached agent; the CLI path did not.
Fix: introduce a lightweight session-transition lifecycle alongside
the existing full shutdown path:
- OpenVikingMemoryProvider.reset_session(new_session_id): waits for
in-flight background threads, resets per-session counters, and
creates the new OV session via POST /api/v1/sessions — without
tearing down the HTTP client (avoids connection overhead on /new).
- MemoryManager.restart_session(new_session_id): calls reset_session()
on providers that implement it; falls back to initialize() for
providers that do not. Skips the builtin provider (no per-session
state).
- AIAgent.commit_memory_session(messages): wraps
memory_manager.on_session_end() without shutdown — commits OV session
for extraction but leaves the provider alive for the next session.
- AIAgent.reinitialize_memory_session(new_session_id): wraps
memory_manager.restart_session() — transitions all external providers
to the new session after session_id has been assigned.
Call sites:
- cli.py new_session(): commit BEFORE session_id changes, reinitialize
AFTER — ensuring OV extraction runs on the correct session and the
new session is immediately ready for the next turn.
- run_agent._compress_context(): same pattern, inside the
if self._session_db: block where the session_id split happens.
/compress and auto-compress are functionally identical at this layer:
both call _compress_context(), so both are fixed by the same change.
Tests added to tests/agent/test_memory_provider.py:
- TestMemoryManagerRestartSession: reset_session() routing, builtin
skip, initialize() fallback, failure tolerance, empty-manager noop.
- TestOpenVikingResetSession: session_id update, per-session state
clear, POST /api/v1/sessions call, API failure tolerance, no-client
noop.

- Change default OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT from 'root' to 'default'
- Add account and user config options to get_config_schema()
- Add session creation in initialize()
- Add reset_session() method
- Update docstring to reflect new default
This is a breaking change: existing users who relied on the 'root' account will need to either:
1. Set OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT=root in their environment, or
2. Migrate their data to the 'default' account
Future release will add support for OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT and OPENVIKING_USER in setup when API key is provided.

Two fixes for the honcho memory plugin: (1) initOnSessionStart — opt-in eager session init in tools mode so sync_turn() works from turn 1 (default false, non-breaking). (2) peerName fix — gateway user_id no longer silently overwrites an explicitly configured peerName. 11 new tests. Contributed by @Kathie-yu.
Follow-up fixes for the context engine plugin slot (PR #5700):
- Enhance ContextEngine ABC: add threshold_percent, protect_first_n,
protect_last_n as class attributes; complete update_model() default
with threshold recalculation; clarify on_session_end() lifecycle docs
- Add ContextCompressor.update_model() override for model/provider/
base_url/api_key updates
- Replace all direct compressor internal access in run_agent.py with
ABC interface: switch_model(), fallback restore, context probing
all use update_model() now; _context_probed guarded with getattr/
hasattr for plugin engine compatibility
- Create plugins/context_engine/ directory with discovery module
(mirrors plugins/memory/ pattern) — discover_context_engines(),
load_context_engine()
- Add context.engine config key to DEFAULT_CONFIG (default: compressor)
- Config-driven engine selection in run_agent.__init__: checks config,
then plugins/context_engine/<name>/, then general plugin system,
falls back to built-in ContextCompressor
- Wire on_session_end() in shutdown_memory_provider() at real session
boundaries (CLI exit, /reset, gateway expiry)
Port missing features from the hindsight-hermes external integration
package into the native plugin. Only touches plugin files — no core
changes.
Features:
- Tags on retain/recall (tags, recall_tags, recall_tags_match)
- Recall config (recall_max_tokens, recall_max_input_chars, recall_types,
recall_prompt_preamble)
- Retain controls (retain_every_n_turns, auto_retain, auto_recall,
retain_async via aretain_batch, retain_context)
- Bank config via Banks API (bank_mission, bank_retain_mission)
- Structured JSON retain with per-message timestamps
- Full session accumulation with document_id for dedup
- Custom post_setup() wizard with curses picker
- Mode-aware dep install (hindsight-client for cloud, hindsight-all for local)
- local_external mode and openai_compatible LLM provider
- OpenRouter support with auto base URL
- Auto-upgrade of hindsight-client to >=0.4.22 on session start
- Comprehensive debug logging across all operations
- 46 unit tests
- Updated README and website docs
Fixes#6259. Three bugs fixed:
1. Config key mismatch: _get_client() and _start_daemon() read
'llmApiKey' (camelCase) but save_config() stores 'llm_api_key'
(snake_case). The config value was never read — only the env var
fallback worked.
2. Missing base URL support: users on OpenRouter or custom endpoints
had no way to configure HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL through setup.
Added llm_base_url to config schema with empty default, passed
conditionally to HindsightEmbedded constructor.
3. Daemon config change detection: config_changed now also checks
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL, and the daemon profile .env includes
the base URL when set.
Keeps HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY (with double API) in the daemon
profile .env — this matches the upstream hindsight .env.example
convention.
Import hermes_constants.get_hermes_home at module level so it is
available in _start_daemon() when local mode starts the embedded
daemon. Previously the import was only inside _load_config(), causing
NameError when _start_daemon() referenced get_hermes_home().

Memory plugins (Mem0, Honcho) used static identifiers ('hermes-user',
config peerName) meaning all gateway users shared the same memory bucket.
Changes:
- AIAgent.__init__: add user_id parameter, store as self._user_id
- run_agent.py: include user_id in _init_kwargs passed to memory providers
- gateway/run.py: pass source.user_id to AIAgent in primary + background paths
- Mem0 plugin: prefer kwargs user_id over config default
- Honcho plugin: override cfg.peer_name with gateway user_id when present
CLI sessions (user_id=None) preserve existing defaults. Only gateway
sessions with a real platform user_id get per-user memory scoping.

16 callsites across 14 files were re-deriving the hermes home path
via os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) instead of using the canonical
get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants. This breaks profiles — each
profile has its own HERMES_HOME, and the inline fallback defaults to
~/.hermes regardless.
Fixed by importing and calling get_hermes_home() at each site. For
files already inside the hermes process (agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/,
gateway/, plugins/), this is always safe. Files that run outside the
process context (mcp_serve.py, mcp_oauth.py) already had correct
try/except ImportError fallbacks and were left alone.
Skipped: hermes_constants.py (IS the implementation), env_loader.py
(bootstrap), profiles.py (intentionally manipulates the env var),
standalone scripts (optional-skills/, skills/), and tests.
Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,
result, pending_handled, temperature, loop
- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
Ensures pending sessions are committed on process exit even if
shutdown_memory_provider is never called (gateway crash, SIGKILL,
or exception in _async_flush_memories preventing shutdown).
Also reorders on_session_end to wait for the pending sync thread
before checking turn_count, so the last turn's messages are flushed.
Based on PR #4919 by dagbs.
The previous implementation hit endpoints that do not exist on the RetainDB
API (/v1/recall, /v1/ingest, /v1/remember, /v1/search, /v1/profile/:p/:u).
Every operation was silently failing with 404. This rewrites the plugin against
the real API surface and adds several new capabilities.
API route fixes:
- Context query: POST /v1/context/query (was /v1/recall)
- Session ingest: POST /v1/memory/ingest/session (was /v1/ingest)
- Memory write: POST /v1/memory with legacy fallback to /v1/memories (was /v1/remember)
- Memory search: POST /v1/memory/search (was /v1/search)
- User profile: GET /v1/memory/profile/:userId (was /v1/profile/:project/:userId)
- Memory delete: DELETE /v1/memory/:id with fallback (was /v1/memory/:id, wrong base)
Durable write-behind queue:
- SQLite spool at ~/.hermes/retaindb_queue.db
- Turn ingest is fully async — zero blocking on the hot path
- Pending rows replay automatically on restart after a crash
- Per-row error marking with retry backoff
Background prefetch (fires at turn-end, ready for next turn-start):
- Context: profile + semantic query, deduped overlay block
- Dialectic synthesis: LLM-powered synthesis of what is known about the
user for the current query, with dynamic reasoning level based on
message length (low / medium / high)
- Agent self-model: persona, persistent instructions, working style
derived from AGENT-scoped memories
- All three run in parallel daemon threads, consumed atomically at
turn-start within the prefetch timeout budget
Agent identity seeding:
- SOUL.md content ingested as AGENT-scoped memories on startup
- Enables persistent cross-session agent self-knowledge
Shared file store tools (new):
- retaindb_upload_file: upload local file, optional auto-ingest
- retaindb_list_files: directory listing with prefix filter
- retaindb_read_file: fetch and decode text content
- retaindb_ingest_file: chunk + embed + extract memories from stored file
- retaindb_delete_file: soft delete
Built-in memory mirror:
- on_memory_write() now hits the correct write endpoint
Consolidated salvage from PRs #5301 (qaqcvc), #5339 (lance0),
#5058 and #5098 (maymuneth).
Mem0 API v2 compatibility (#5301):
- All reads use filters={user_id: ...} instead of bare user_id= kwarg
- All writes use filters with user_id + agent_id for attribution
- Response unwrapping for v2 dict format {results: [...]}
- Split _read_filters() vs _write_filters() — reads are user-scoped
only for cross-session recall, writes include agent_id
- Preserved 'hermes-user' default (no breaking change for existing users)
- Omitted run_id scoping from #5301 — cross-session memory is Mem0's
core value, session-scoping reads would defeat that purpose
Memory prefetch context fencing (#5339):
- Wraps prefetched memory in <memory-context> fenced blocks with system
note marking content as recalled context, NOT user input
- Sanitizes provider output to strip fence-escape sequences, preventing
injection where memory content breaks out of the fence
- API-call-time only — never persisted to session history
Secret redaction (#5058, #5098):
- Added prefix patterns for Groq (gsk_), Matrix (syt_), RetainDB
(retaindb_), Hindsight (hsk-), Mem0 (mem0_), ByteRover (brv_)
Existing honcho.json configs without an explicit observationMode now
default to 'unified' (the old default) instead of being silently
switched to 'directional'. New installations get 'directional' as
the new default.
Detection: _explicitly_configured (host block exists or enabled=true)
signals an existing config. When true and no observationMode is set
anywhere in the config chain, falls back to 'unified'. When false
(fresh install), uses 'directional'.
Users who explicitly set observationMode or granular observation
booleans are unaffected — explicit config always wins.
5 new tests covering all migration paths.
discover_plugin_cli_commands() now reads memory.provider from config.yaml
and only loads CLI registration for the active provider. If no memory
provider is set, no plugin CLI commands appear in the CLI.
Only one memory provider can be active at a time — at most one set of
plugin CLI commands is registered. Users who haven't configured honcho
(or any memory provider) won't see 'hermes honcho' in their help output.
Adds test for inactive provider returning empty results.
Add ctx.register_cli_command() to PluginContext for general plugins and
discover_plugin_cli_commands() to memory plugin system. Plugins that
provide a register_cli(subparser) function in their cli.py are
automatically discovered during argparse setup and wired into the CLI.
- Remove 95-line hardcoded honcho argparse block from main.py
- Move honcho subcommand tree into plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py
via register_cli() convention
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup (unified path)
- hermes honcho (no subcommand) shows status instead of running setup
- Future plugins can register CLI commands without touching core files
- PluginManager stores CLI registrations in _cli_commands dict
- Memory plugin discovery scans cli.py for register_cli at argparse time
main.py: -102 lines of hardcoded plugin routing
- Browse: POST /api/v1/browse → GET /api/v1/fs/{ls,tree,stat}
- Read: POST /api/v1/read[/abstract] → GET /api/v1/content/{read,abstract,overview}
- System prompt: result.get('children') → len(result) (API returns list)
- Content: result.get('content') → result is a plain string
- Browse: result['entries'] → result is the list; is_dir → isDir (camelCase)
- Browse: add rel_path and abstract fields to entry output
Based on PR #4742 by catbusconductor. Auth header changes dropped
(already on main via #4825).
The original filter (if v) silently drops False and 0, so
'rerank: false' in mem0.json would be ignored. Use explicit
None/empty-string check to preserve intentional falsy values.
When mem0.json exists but is missing the api_key (e.g. after running
`hermes memory setup`), the plugin reports "not available" even though
MEM0_API_KEY is set in .env. This happens because _load_config()
returns the JSON file contents verbatim, never falling back to env vars.
Use env vars as the base config and let mem0.json override individual
keys on top, so both config sources work together.
Fixes: mem0 plugin shows "not available" despite valid MEM0_API_KEY in .env
OpenViking is multi-tenant and requires X-OpenViking-Account and
X-OpenViking-User headers. Without them, API calls like POST
/api/v1/search/find fail on authenticated servers.
Add both headers to _VikingClient._headers(), read from env vars
OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT (default: root) and OPENVIKING_USER (default:
default). All instantiation sites inherit the fix automatically.

Three fixes for memory+profile isolation bugs:
1. memory_tool.py: Replace module-level MEMORY_DIR constant with
get_memory_dir() function that calls get_hermes_home() dynamically.
The old constant was cached at import time and could go stale if
HERMES_HOME changed after import. Internal MemoryStore methods now
call get_memory_dir() directly. MEMORY_DIR kept as backward-compat
alias.
2. profiles.py: profile create --clone now copies MEMORY.md and USER.md
from the source profile. These curated memory files are part of the
agent's identity (same as SOUL.md) and should carry over on clone.
3. holographic plugin: initialize() now expands $HERMES_HOME and
${HERMES_HOME} in the db_path config value, so users can write
'db_path: $HERMES_HOME/memory_store.db' and it resolves to the
active profile directory, not the default home.
Tests updated to mock get_memory_dir() alongside the legacy MEMORY_DIR.
The pipeline prefetch design was firing \`brv query\` in a background
thread *after* each response, meaning the context injected at turn N
was from turn N-1's message — and the first turn got no BRV context
at all. Replace the async prefetch pipeline with a synchronous query
in \`prefetch()\` so recall runs before the first API call on every
turn. Make \`queue_prefetch()\` a no-op and remove the now-unused
pipeline state.
Adds observationMode config field to HonchoClientConfig:
- 'unified' (default): user peer self-observations, all agents share one pool
- 'directional': AI peer observes user, each agent keeps its own view
Changes:
- client.py: observation_mode field, _normalize_observation_mode(), config resolution
- session.py: add_peers respects mode (peer observation flags), dialectic_query
routes through correct peer, create_conclusion uses correct observer
Implements all features from the post-merge Honcho plugin spec:
B1: recall_mode support (context/tools/hybrid)
B2: peer_memory_mode gating (stub for ABC suppression mechanism)
B3: resolve_session_name() session key resolution
B4: first-turn context baking in system_prompt_block()
B5: cost-awareness (cadence, injection frequency, reasoning cap)
B6: memory file migration in initialize()
B7: pre-warming context at init
Ports from open PRs:
- #3265: token budget enforcement in prefetch()
- #4053: cron guard (skip activation for cron/flush sessions)
- #2645: baseUrl-only flow verified in is_available()
- #1969: aiPeer sync from SOUL.md
- #1957: lazy session init in tools mode
Single file change: plugins/memory/honcho/__init__.py
No modifications to client.py, session.py, or any files outside the plugin.
* feat(memory): add pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation
Introduces a pluggable MemoryProvider ABC so external memory backends can
integrate with Hermes without modifying core files. Each backend becomes a
plugin implementing a standard interface, orchestrated by MemoryManager.
Key architecture:
- agent/memory_provider.py — ABC with core + optional lifecycle hooks
- agent/memory_manager.py — single integration point in the agent loop
- agent/builtin_memory_provider.py — wraps existing MEMORY.md/USER.md
Profile isolation fixes applied to all 6 shipped plugins:
- Cognitive Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- Hindsight Memory: check $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json first,
fall back to legacy ~/.hindsight/ for backward compat
- Hermes Memory Store: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with
get_hermes_home() for config loading and DB path defaults
- Mem0 Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- RetainDB Memory: auto-derive profile-scoped project name from
hermes_home path (hermes-<profile>), explicit env var overrides
- OpenViking Memory: read-only, no local state, isolation via .env
MemoryManager.initialize_all() now injects hermes_home into kwargs so
every provider can resolve profile-scoped storage without importing
get_hermes_home() themselves.
Plugin system: adds register_memory_provider() to PluginContext and
get_plugin_memory_providers() accessor.
Based on PR #3825. 46 tests (37 unit + 5 E2E + 4 plugin registration).
* refactor(memory): drop cognitive plugin, rewrite OpenViking as full provider
Remove cognitive-memory plugin (#727) — core mechanics are broken:
decay runs 24x too fast (hourly not daily), prefetch uses row ID as
timestamp, search limited by importance not similarity.
Rewrite openviking-memory plugin from a read-only search wrapper into
a full bidirectional memory provider using the complete OpenViking
session lifecycle API:
- sync_turn: records user/assistant messages to OpenViking session
(threaded, non-blocking)
- on_session_end: commits session to trigger automatic memory extraction
into 6 categories (profile, preferences, entities, events, cases,
patterns)
- prefetch: background semantic search via find() endpoint
- on_memory_write: mirrors built-in memory writes to the session
- is_available: checks env var only, no network calls (ABC compliance)
Tools expanded from 3 to 5:
- viking_search: semantic search with mode/scope/limit
- viking_read: tiered content (abstract ~100tok / overview ~2k / full)
- viking_browse: filesystem-style navigation (list/tree/stat)
- viking_remember: explicit memory storage via session
- viking_add_resource: ingest URLs/docs into knowledge base
Uses direct HTTP via httpx (no openviking SDK dependency needed).
Response truncation on viking_read to prevent context flooding.
* fix(memory): harden Mem0 plugin — thread safety, non-blocking sync, circuit breaker
- Remove redundant mem0_context tool (identical to mem0_search with
rerank=true, top_k=5 — wastes a tool slot and confuses the model)
- Thread sync_turn so it's non-blocking — Mem0's server-side LLM
extraction can take 5-10s, was stalling the agent after every turn
- Add threading.Lock around _get_client() for thread-safe lazy init
(prefetch and sync threads could race on first client creation)
- Add circuit breaker: after 5 consecutive API failures, pause calls
for 120s instead of hammering a down server every turn. Auto-resets
after cooldown. Logs a warning when tripped.
- Track success/failure in prefetch, sync_turn, and all tool calls
- Wait for previous sync to finish before starting a new one (prevents
unbounded thread accumulation on rapid turns)
- Clean up shutdown to join both prefetch and sync threads
* fix(memory): enforce single external memory provider limit
MemoryManager now rejects a second non-builtin provider with a warning.
Built-in memory (MEMORY.md/USER.md) is always accepted. Only ONE
external plugin provider is allowed at a time. This prevents tool
schema bloat (some providers add 3-5 tools each) and conflicting
memory backends.
The warning message directs users to configure memory.provider in
config.yaml to select which provider to activate.
Updated all 47 tests to use builtin + one external pattern instead
of multiple externals. Added test_second_external_rejected to verify
the enforcement.
* feat(memory): add ByteRover memory provider plugin
Implements the ByteRover integration (from PR #3499 by hieuntg81) as a
MemoryProvider plugin instead of direct run_agent.py modifications.
ByteRover provides persistent memory via the brv CLI — a hierarchical
knowledge tree with tiered retrieval (fuzzy text then LLM-driven search).
Local-first with optional cloud sync.
Plugin capabilities:
- prefetch: background brv query for relevant context
- sync_turn: curate conversation turns (threaded, non-blocking)
- on_memory_write: mirror built-in memory writes to brv
- on_pre_compress: extract insights before context compression
Tools (3):
- brv_query: search the knowledge tree
- brv_curate: store facts/decisions/patterns
- brv_status: check CLI version and context tree state
Profile isolation: working directory at $HERMES_HOME/byterover/ (scoped
per profile). Binary resolution cached with thread-safe double-checked
locking. All write operations threaded to avoid blocking the agent
(curate can take 120s with LLM processing).
* fix(memory): thread remaining sync_turns, fix holographic, add config key
Plugin fixes:
- Hindsight: thread sync_turn (was blocking up to 30s via _run_in_thread)
- RetainDB: thread sync_turn (was blocking on HTTP POST)
- Both: shutdown now joins sync threads alongside prefetch threads
Holographic retrieval fixes:
- reason(): removed dead intersection_key computation (bundled but never
used in scoring). Now reuses pre-computed entity_residuals directly,
moved role_content encoding outside the inner loop.
- contradict(): added _MAX_CONTRADICT_FACTS=500 scaling guard. Above
500 facts, only checks the most recently updated ones to avoid O(n^2)
explosion (~125K comparisons at 500 is acceptable).
Config:
- Added memory.provider key to DEFAULT_CONFIG ("" = builtin only).
No version bump needed (deep_merge handles new keys automatically).
* feat(memory): extract Honcho as a MemoryProvider plugin
Creates plugins/honcho-memory/ as a thin adapter over the existing
honcho_integration/ package. All 4 Honcho tools (profile, search,
context, conclude) move from the normal tool registry to the
MemoryProvider interface.
The plugin delegates all work to HonchoSessionManager — no Honcho
logic is reimplemented. It uses the existing config chain:
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json -> ~/.honcho/config.json -> env vars.
Lifecycle hooks:
- initialize: creates HonchoSessionManager via existing client factory
- prefetch: background dialectic query
- sync_turn: records messages + flushes to API (threaded)
- on_memory_write: mirrors user profile writes as conclusions
- on_session_end: flushes all pending messages
This is a prerequisite for the MemoryManager wiring in run_agent.py.
Once wired, Honcho goes through the same provider interface as all
other memory plugins, and the scattered Honcho code in run_agent.py
can be consolidated into the single MemoryManager integration point.
* feat(memory): wire MemoryManager into run_agent.py
Adds 8 integration points for the external memory provider plugin,
all purely additive (zero existing code modified):
1. Init (~L1130): Create MemoryManager, find matching plugin provider
from memory.provider config, initialize with session context
2. Tool injection (~L1160): Append provider tool schemas to self.tools
and self.valid_tool_names after memory_manager init
3. System prompt (~L2705): Add external provider's system_prompt_block
alongside existing MEMORY.md/USER.md blocks
4. Tool routing (~L5362): Route provider tool calls through
memory_manager.handle_tool_call() before the catchall handler
5. Memory write bridge (~L5353): Notify external provider via
on_memory_write() when the built-in memory tool writes
6. Pre-compress (~L5233): Call on_pre_compress() before context
compression discards messages
7. Prefetch (~L6421): Inject provider prefetch results into the
current-turn user message (same pattern as Honcho turn context)
8. Turn sync + session end (~L8161, ~L8172): sync_all() after each
completed turn, queue_prefetch_all() for next turn, on_session_end()
+ shutdown_all() at conversation end
All hooks are wrapped in try/except — a failing provider never breaks
the agent. The existing memory system, Honcho integration, and all
other code paths are completely untouched.
Full suite: 7222 passed, 4 pre-existing failures.
* refactor(memory): remove legacy Honcho integration from core
Extracts all Honcho-specific code from run_agent.py, model_tools.py,
toolsets.py, and gateway/run.py. Honcho is now exclusively available
as a memory provider plugin (plugins/honcho-memory/).
Removed from run_agent.py (-457 lines):
- Honcho init block (session manager creation, activation, config)
- 8 Honcho methods: _honcho_should_activate, _strip_honcho_tools,
_activate_honcho, _register_honcho_exit_hook, _queue_honcho_prefetch,
_honcho_prefetch, _honcho_save_user_observation, _honcho_sync
- _inject_honcho_turn_context module-level function
- Honcho system prompt block (tool descriptions, CLI commands)
- Honcho context injection in api_messages building
- Honcho params from __init__ (honcho_session_key, honcho_manager,
honcho_config)
- HONCHO_TOOL_NAMES constant
- All honcho-specific tool dispatch forwarding
Removed from other files:
- model_tools.py: honcho_tools import, honcho params from handle_function_call
- toolsets.py: honcho toolset definition, honcho tools from core tools list
- gateway/run.py: honcho params from AIAgent constructor calls
Removed tests (-339 lines):
- 9 Honcho-specific test methods from test_run_agent.py
- TestHonchoAtexitFlush class from test_exit_cleanup_interrupt.py
Restored two regex constants (_SURROGATE_RE, _BUDGET_WARNING_RE) that
were accidentally removed during the honcho function extraction.
The honcho_integration/ package is kept intact — the plugin delegates
to it. tools/honcho_tools.py registry entries are now dead code (import
commented out in model_tools.py) but the file is preserved for reference.
Full suite: 7207 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* refactor(memory): restructure plugins, add CLI, clean gateway, migration notice
Plugin restructure:
- Move all memory plugins from plugins/<name>-memory/ to plugins/memory/<name>/
(byterover, hindsight, holographic, honcho, mem0, openviking, retaindb)
- New plugins/memory/__init__.py discovery module that scans the directory
directly, loading providers by name without the general plugin system
- run_agent.py uses load_memory_provider() instead of get_plugin_memory_providers()
CLI wiring:
- hermes memory setup — interactive curses picker + config wizard
- hermes memory status — show active provider, config, availability
- hermes memory off — disable external provider (built-in only)
- hermes honcho — now shows migration notice pointing to hermes memory setup
Gateway cleanup:
- Remove _get_or_create_gateway_honcho (already removed in prev commit)
- Remove _shutdown_gateway_honcho and _shutdown_all_gateway_honcho methods
- Remove all calls to shutdown methods (4 call sites)
- Remove _honcho_managers/_honcho_configs dict references
Dead code removal:
- Delete tools/honcho_tools.py (279 lines, import was already commented out)
- Delete tests/gateway/test_honcho_lifecycle.py (131 lines, tested removed methods)
- Remove if False placeholder from run_agent.py
Migration:
- Honcho migration notice on startup: detects existing honcho.json or
~/.honcho/config.json, prints guidance to run hermes memory setup.
Only fires when memory.provider is not set and not in quiet mode.
Full suite: 7203 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* feat(memory): standardize plugin config + add per-plugin documentation
Config architecture:
- Add save_config(values, hermes_home) to MemoryProvider ABC
- Honcho: writes to $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json (SDK native)
- Mem0: writes to $HERMES_HOME/mem0.json
- Hindsight: writes to $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json
- Holographic: writes to config.yaml under plugins.hermes-memory-store
- OpenViking/RetainDB/ByteRover: env-var only (default no-op)
Setup wizard (hermes memory setup):
- Now calls provider.save_config() for non-secret config
- Secrets still go to .env via env vars
- Only memory.provider activation key goes to config.yaml
Documentation:
- README.md for each of the 7 providers in plugins/memory/<name>/
- Requirements, setup (wizard + manual), config reference, tools table
- Consistent format across all providers
The contract for new memory plugins:
- get_config_schema() declares all fields (REQUIRED)
- save_config() writes native config (REQUIRED if not env-var-only)
- Secrets use env_var field in schema, written to .env by wizard
- README.md in the plugin directory
* docs: add memory providers user guide + developer guide
New pages:
- user-guide/features/memory-providers.md — comprehensive guide covering
all 7 shipped providers (Honcho, OpenViking, Mem0, Hindsight,
Holographic, RetainDB, ByteRover). Each with setup, config, tools,
cost, and unique features. Includes comparison table and profile
isolation notes.
- developer-guide/memory-provider-plugin.md — how to build a new memory
provider plugin. Covers ABC, required methods, config schema,
save_config, threading contract, profile isolation, testing.
Updated pages:
- user-guide/features/memory.md — replaced Honcho section with link to
new Memory Providers page
- user-guide/features/honcho.md — replaced with migration redirect to
the new Memory Providers page
- sidebars.ts — added both new pages to navigation
* fix(memory): auto-migrate Honcho users to memory provider plugin
When honcho.json or ~/.honcho/config.json exists but memory.provider
is not set, automatically set memory.provider: honcho in config.yaml
and activate the plugin. The plugin reads the same config files, so
all data and credentials are preserved. Zero user action needed.
Persists the migration to config.yaml so it only fires once. Prints
a one-line confirmation in non-quiet mode.
* fix(memory): only auto-migrate Honcho when enabled + credentialed
Check HonchoClientConfig.enabled AND (api_key OR base_url) before
auto-migrating — not just file existence. Prevents false activation
for users who disabled Honcho, stopped using it (config lingers),
or have ~/.honcho/ from a different tool.
* feat(memory): auto-install pip dependencies during hermes memory setup
Reads pip_dependencies from plugin.yaml, checks which are missing,
installs them via pip before config walkthrough. Also shows install
guidance for external_dependencies (e.g. brv CLI for ByteRover).
Updated all 7 plugin.yaml files with pip_dependencies:
- honcho: honcho-ai
- mem0: mem0ai
- openviking: httpx
- hindsight: hindsight-client
- holographic: (none)
- retaindb: requests
- byterover: (external_dependencies for brv CLI)
* fix: remove remaining Honcho crash risks from cli.py and gateway
cli.py: removed Honcho session re-mapping block (would crash importing
deleted tools/honcho_tools.py), Honcho flush on compress, Honcho
session display on startup, Honcho shutdown on exit, honcho_session_key
AIAgent param.
gateway/run.py: removed honcho_session_key params from helper methods,
sync_honcho param, _honcho.shutdown() block.
tests: fixed test_cron_session_with_honcho_key_skipped (was passing
removed honcho_key param to _flush_memories_for_session).
* fix: include plugins/ in pyproject.toml package list
Without this, plugins/memory/ wouldn't be included in non-editable
installs. Hermes always runs from the repo checkout so this is belt-
and-suspenders, but prevents breakage if the install method changes.
* fix(memory): correct pip-to-import name mapping for dep checks
The heuristic dep.replace('-', '_') fails for packages where the pip
name differs from the import name: honcho-ai→honcho, mem0ai→mem0,
hindsight-client→hindsight_client. Added explicit mapping table so
hermes memory setup doesn't try to reinstall already-installed packages.
* chore: remove dead code from old plugin memory registration path
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: removed register_memory_provider(),
_memory_providers list, get_plugin_memory_providers() — memory
providers now use plugins/memory/ discovery, not the general plugin system
- hermes_cli/main.py: stripped 74 lines of dead honcho argparse
subparsers (setup, status, sessions, map, peer, mode, tokens,
identity, migrate) — kept only the migration redirect
- agent/memory_provider.py: updated docstring to reflect new
registration path
- tests: replaced TestPluginMemoryProviderRegistration with
TestPluginMemoryDiscovery that tests the actual plugins/memory/
discovery system. Added 3 new tests (discover, load, nonexistent).
* chore: delete dead honcho_integration/cli.py and its tests
cli.py (794 lines) was the old 'hermes honcho' command handler — nobody
calls it since cmd_honcho was replaced with a migration redirect.
Deleted tests that imported from removed code:
- tests/honcho_integration/test_cli.py (tested _resolve_api_key)
- tests/honcho_integration/test_config_isolation.py (tested CLI config paths)
- tests/tools/test_honcho_tools.py (tested the deleted tools/honcho_tools.py)
Remaining honcho_integration/ files (actively used by the plugin):
- client.py (445 lines) — config loading, SDK client creation
- session.py (991 lines) — session management, queries, flush
* refactor: move honcho_integration/ into the honcho plugin
Moves client.py (445 lines) and session.py (991 lines) from the
top-level honcho_integration/ package into plugins/memory/honcho/.
No Honcho code remains in the main codebase.
- plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — config loading, SDK client creation
- plugins/memory/honcho/session.py — session management, queries, flush
- Updated all imports: run_agent.py (auto-migration), hermes_cli/doctor.py,
plugin __init__.py, session.py cross-import, all tests
- Removed honcho_integration/ package and pyproject.toml entry
- Renamed tests/honcho_integration/ → tests/honcho_plugin/
* docs: update architecture + gateway-internals for memory provider system
- architecture.md: replaced honcho_integration/ with plugins/memory/
- gateway-internals.md: replaced Honcho-specific session routing and
flush lifecycle docs with generic memory provider interface docs
* fix: update stale mock path for resolve_active_host after honcho plugin migration
* fix(memory): address review feedback — P0 lifecycle, ABC contract, honcho CLI restore
Review feedback from Honcho devs (erosika):
P0 — Provider lifecycle:
- Remove on_session_end() + shutdown_all() from run_conversation() tail
(was killing providers after every turn in multi-turn sessions)
- Add shutdown_memory_provider() method on AIAgent for callers
- Wire shutdown into CLI atexit, reset_conversation, gateway stop/expiry
Bug fixes:
- Remove sync_honcho=False kwarg from /btw callsites (TypeError crash)
- Fix doctor.py references to dead 'hermes honcho setup' command
- Cache prefetch_all() before tool loop (was re-calling every iteration)
ABC contract hardening (all backwards-compatible):
- Add session_id kwarg to prefetch/sync_turn/queue_prefetch
- Make on_pre_compress() return str (provider insights in compression)
- Add **kwargs to on_turn_start() for runtime context
- Add on_delegation() hook for parent-side subagent observation
- Document agent_context/agent_identity/agent_workspace kwargs on
initialize() (prevents cron corruption, enables profile scoping)
- Fix docstring: single external provider, not multiple
Honcho CLI restoration:
- Add plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py (from main's honcho_integration/cli.py
with imports adapted to plugin path)
- Restore full hermes honcho command with all subcommands (status, peer,
mode, tokens, identity, enable/disable, sync, peers, --target-profile)
- Restore auto-clone on profile creation + sync on hermes update
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup
* fix(memory): wire on_delegation, skip_memory for cron/flush, fix ByteRover return type
- Wire on_delegation() in delegate_tool.py — parent's memory provider
is notified with task+result after each subagent completes
- Add skip_memory=True to cron scheduler (prevents cron system prompts
from corrupting user representations — closes#4052)
- Add skip_memory=True to gateway flush agent (throwaway agent shouldn't
activate memory provider)
- Fix ByteRover on_pre_compress() return type: None -> str
* fix(honcho): port profile isolation fixes from PR #4632
Ports 5 bug fixes found during profile testing (erosika's PR #4632):
1. 3-tier config resolution — resolve_config_path() now checks
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json → ~/.hermes/honcho.json → ~/.honcho/config.json
(non-default profiles couldn't find shared host blocks)
2. Thread host=_host_key() through from_global_config() in cmd_setup,
cmd_status, cmd_identity (--target-profile was being ignored)
3. Use bare profile name as aiPeer (not host key with dots) — Honcho's
peer ID pattern is ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$, dots are invalid
4. Wrap add_peers() in try/except — was fatal on new AI peers, killed
all message uploads for the session
5. Gate Honcho clone behind --clone/--clone-all on profile create
(bare create should be blank-slate)
Also: sanitize assistant_peer_id via _sanitize_id()
* fix(tests): add module cleanup fixture to test_cli_provider_resolution
test_cli_provider_resolution._import_cli() wipes tools.*, cli, and
run_agent from sys.modules to force fresh imports, but had no cleanup.
This poisoned all subsequent tests on the same xdist worker — mocks
targeting tools.file_tools, tools.send_message_tool, etc. patched the
NEW module object while already-imported functions still referenced
the OLD one. Caused ~25 cascade failures: send_message KeyError,
process_registry FileNotFoundError, file_read_guards timeouts,
read_loop_detection file-not-found, mcp_oauth None port, and
provider_parity/codex_execution stale tool lists.
Fix: autouse fixture saves all affected modules before each test and
restores them after, matching the pattern in
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py.
