GatewayStreamConsumer.run() processed queued deltas in an infinite loop
with no check on whether the session was still current. On /new or /stop
mid-stream, the consumer kept editing and delivering stale response
fragments alongside the 'Session reset!' ack.
PR #11016 (b7bdf32d) fixed the runner side via sentinel promotion/release
but left the stream consumer unguarded. Every other async callback in
run.py already bails via _run_still_current(); the stream consumer was
the only one missing it.
- stream_consumer.py: optional run_still_current callback, checked at the
top of the run() loop; returns early when the session is stale.
- run.py: pass the existing _run_still_current closure at both call sites
(proxy path and agent path).
- tests: TestRunStillCurrentGuard — immediate staleness, mid-stream
staleness, always-current, no-callback default, pending-finish.

Fireworks AI is a first-class provider in hermes-agent — FIREWORKS_API_KEY
is listed in tools/environments/local.py and the provider is selectable via
the model picker (api.fireworks.ai in model_metadata, hermes_cli/models.py).
Fireworks API keys follow the format fw_<40 alphanumeric chars> and were
absent from _PREFIX_PATTERNS in agent/redact.py. The ENV-assignment and
Bearer header patterns catch FIREWORKS_API_KEY=fw_... in config output,
but a raw key in a stack trace, debug print, or tool error passed through
completely unmasked.
Four unit tests added to TestFireworksToken covering bare token masking,
env assignment, short-prefix false positive, and visible prefix in output.
Defense-in-depth follow-up to the runtime guard added in the previous commit.
Models on headless hosts (Railway / Fly / Docker / fresh VPS) without any ACP
CLI installed occasionally hallucinate ``acp_command="copilot"`` from the
schema description, despite the explicit "Do NOT set" instruction. The runtime
guard prevented the crash but the model still wasted a tool turn and got an
opaque silent fallback.
This commit removes the temptation at its source: ``_build_dynamic_schema_overrides``
now strips ``acp_command`` and ``acp_args`` from both the top-level and per-task
schemas when none of the known ACP CLIs (``copilot``, ``claude``, ``codex``) are
detectable on PATH. The model literally never sees the fields, so it cannot
pass them.
The runtime guard from the previous commit stays in place as defense-in-depth
for internal callers, tests, and any future code path that bypasses the schema.
``_acp_binary_available`` is intentionally NOT cached: ``shutil.which`` is
cheap, and avoiding the cache means the schema reacts to mid-session installs
without requiring a process restart.
Tests:
- ``test_schema_prunes_acp_command_when_no_acp_binary``
- ``test_schema_keeps_acp_command_when_binary_available``
- ``test_acp_binary_available_checks_known_clis``
Full ``test_delegate.py`` suite: 136/136 pass.

When a model passes `acp_command="copilot"` (or any other binary name) in a
`delegate_task` tool call, `_build_child_agent` unconditionally sets
`effective_provider = "copilot-acp"`, which routes the subagent through
`CopilotACPClient`. That client spawns the named binary via subprocess; if it
isn't on PATH, every retry raises RuntimeError and an asyncio cleanup race
during error delivery can take the entire gateway down.
This is a real failure mode on headless deploys (Railway / Fly / VPS / Docker)
where `copilot` / `claude` / etc. aren't installed. The schema does say
"Do NOT set unless the user explicitly told you an ACP CLI is installed,"
but models occasionally pass it anyway — particularly for X (Twitter) search
prompts where Grok seems to associate ACP with "search assistance."
Reproduction:
- Headless install (no `copilot` binary on PATH)
- Set provider to xai-oauth + model grok-4.3
- Telegram prompt: "Search X for crypto twitter trends"
- Grok decides to delegate and passes `acp_command="copilot"`
- Subagent crashes 3x, gateway crashes on the 3rd retry teardown
Fix: validate the binary exists on PATH via `shutil.which` before honoring
the override. If missing, log a warning and fall through to the parent's
default transport. No behavior change when the binary IS present (covered
by `test_build_child_agent_honors_acp_command_when_binary_present`).
Tests:
- `test_build_child_agent_ignores_acp_command_when_binary_missing`
- `test_build_child_agent_honors_acp_command_when_binary_present`
Verified on Python 3.11 (macOS) and 3.12 (Debian 13 container).

WhatsAppAdapter lives under plugins/platforms/whatsapp/adapter.py on
current upstream; the owner-forward test still imported the removed
gateway.platforms.whatsapp module.
When WHATSAPP_FORWARD_OWNER_MESSAGES is enabled and the bridge marks an
inbound message with fromOwner=true, also prefix MessageEvent.text with
"[owner reply] " at construction time. This makes the disambiguation
survive any downstream plugin failure (e.g. handover-rule errors that
bypass silent_ingest), so transcripts never misattribute owner-typed
text to the customer.
Idempotent: re-applies are guarded so a future producer that pre-tags
text won't be double-prefixed.
In `WHATSAPP_MODE=bot` the bridge currently drops every fromMe inbound
message — they are all assumed to be echoes of our own /send calls.
That makes it impossible for plugins / agents to detect when a human
owner has typed directly into a customer chat from the same WhatsApp
Business account (e.g. via a linked phone or WhatsApp Web).
This adds an opt-in `WHATSAPP_FORWARD_OWNER_MESSAGES` env var. When
true, the bridge classifies fromMe inbound by looking up `key.id` in a
bounded LRU of recently-sent message IDs (the existing 50-entry echo
suppressor, bumped to 512 and extracted to a testable
`outbound_ids.js` helper). Hits in the LRU are still dropped (echoes);
misses are forwarded to the Python adapter with `fromOwner: true`.
The Python adapter lifts that flag onto
`MessageEvent.metadata["whatsapp_from_owner"]`. `metadata` is a new
free-form dict on the event so future per-platform signals don't each
need their own field. Default behaviour is unchanged: with the env
flag unset, bot mode still drops every fromMe message exactly as
before.
Use cases for downstream consumers:
- Implicit handover activation when the owner replies manually
- Sliding TTL on owner activity (keep an active session alive while
the owner is engaged)
- Audit trails of owner interventions
- Analytics on human-vs-bot reply ratios
Heuristic limitation (documented in code): the LRU is in-memory. After
a bridge restart, in-flight delivery receipts of pre-restart sends will
briefly look like owner-typed for a few seconds until the set is
repopulated. Persisting isn't worth the disk churn — downstream
consumers should treat the flag as best-effort.
Tests:
- tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_from_owner.py (new): adapter sets the
metadata flag iff the bridge payload has `fromOwner: true`; absent
otherwise.
- scripts/whatsapp-bridge/outbound_ids.test.mjs (new): LRU bounds,
eviction order, falsy-id handling.
Backwards compatibility: with the env flag unset, every code path is
identical to before. No existing deployment is affected.
The gateway/CLI /model switch path (switch_model in agent_runtime_helpers)
built the MoAClient facade but left agent.api_mode at the value
determine_api_mode / the resolved aggregator transport produced (e.g.
codex_responses or anthropic_messages). The conversation loop dispatches on
agent.api_mode, so a non-chat_completions value made the primary/acting call
go through client.responses.create — which the MoAClient facade has no
.responses for — and fall through to the moa://local placeholder, 404 three
times, then fall back to a reference model (issues #54259, #54669).
agent_init.py already pins api_mode=chat_completions for provider==moa; mirror
that in the live switch so the primary call always routes through
MoAClient.chat.completions. The aggregator's real transport is resolved and
applied inside the reference/aggregator fan-out, not on the outer call.
Slot_runtime resolved the provider's real API surface (including api_mode)
but only forwarded base_url and api_key to call_llm, dropping api_mode.
This caused Copilot GPT-5.x reference slots to hit /chat/completions
instead of the Responses API, returning 400 unsupported_api_for_model.
- _slot_runtime: forward api_mode from resolve_runtime_provider
- call_llm: accept explicit api_mode param, override task config
- 4 regression tests for propagation, omission, and signature
get_copilot_api_token now returns (api_token, base_url); the auth-remove
suppression test still mocked it as a bare string, mis-unpacking into the
credential-pool seed path and failing with 'No credential #1'.
The earlier enterprise base URL change (proxy-ep parsing) gave us URLs
like `api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com`, but ~15 host-matching call
sites still hard-coded `api.githubcopilot.com`. Enterprise users would
therefore drop the `Copilot-Integration-Id: vscode-chat` header at
client-build time, and upstream rejected requests with:
The requested model is not available for integrator "zed"
(or "copilot-language-server") — verify the correct
Copilot-Integration-Id header is being sent.
The header was correct in copilot_default_headers(); it just never
made it into default_headers for non-default hostnames because every
detector compared against the exact string "api.githubcopilot.com".
This commit broadens all those checks to "githubcopilot.com" via
base_url_host_matches (which already does proper subdomain matching),
so api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com, api.business.githubcopilot.com,
etc. all share the same headers, vision routing, max_completion_tokens
selection, and reasoning-effort detection as the default endpoint.
Also adds ".githubcopilot.com" to _URL_TO_PROVIDER so context-window
resolution via models.dev works for enterprise base URLs, and tightens
_is_github_copilot_url to use suffix matching instead of strict equality.
Tests:
- New: enterprise Copilot endpoint preserves Copilot-Integration-Id
- New: enterprise endpoint returns max_completion_tokens (not max_tokens)
- Existing 333 base_url / copilot / aux-client / credential-pool tests pass
Parts 5 of #7731.
Two changes that complete the Copilot auth story (#7731 parts 3 and 4):
1. Switch OAuth client ID from opencode (Ov23li8tweQw6odWQebz) to VS Code
(Iv1.b507a08c87ecfe98). The old ID produces gho_* tokens that return
404 on /copilot_internal/v2/token, making token exchange non-functional.
The new ID produces ghu_* tokens that support exchange.
2. Derive enterprise API base URL from the proxy-ep field in the exchanged
token. Enterprise accounts get tokens containing e.g.
"proxy-ep=proxy.enterprise.githubcopilot.com" which is converted to
"https://api.enterprise.githubcopilot.com" and stored in the credential
pool. Individual accounts (no proxy-ep) continue using the default URL.
The COPILOT_API_BASE_URL env var remains as a user escape hatch.
Tested on both Individual and Enterprise Copilot accounts:
- Individual: device flow works, exchange succeeds, base_url=None (default)
- Enterprise: device flow works, exchange succeeds, 39 models returned
including claude-opus-4.6-1m (936K), enterprise base URL derived
Parts 3 and 4 of #7731.
Adds tests/agent/test_model_extra_type_guard.py exercising the real
ChatCompletionsTransport.normalize_response path with string/list/None/dict
model_extra; adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the contributor.
An over-cap model.max_tokens produces a provider 400 that mentions
max_tokens, which trips _CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_PATTERNS and is classified as
context_overflow. On providers whose wording isn't recognized by
parse_available_output_tokens_from_error() (e.g. DashScope/Qwen:
"Range of max_tokens should be [1, 65536]") the smart-retry is skipped
and the error falls into the compression fallback, which re-sends the
same oversized max_tokens, fails identically, and loops until
"cannot compress further" on a tiny conversation (#55546).
Root-cause fix for the whole class, not just DashScope:
- parse_available_output_tokens_from_error(): recognize the DashScope
"Range of max_tokens should be [1, N]" form and return N (smart-retry
then caps output and retries WITHOUT compressing).
- new is_output_cap_error(): broader yes/no gate for output-cap 400s.
In the loop, when the error is output-cap-shaped but unparseable, fail
fast with an actionable message (lower model.max_tokens) instead of
routing into compression. Mirrors the existing GPT-5 max_tokens guard.
Real input overflows and GPT-5 unsupported-param 400s are unchanged.
Concurrent ACP sessions run on a shared ThreadPoolExecutor (max_workers=4).
Each _run_agent mutated the process-global os.environ["HERMES_INTERACTIVE"]
and restored it in finally, so one session's restore could clobber another's
set mid-run — dropping the second session onto the non-interactive
auto-approve path, executing a dangerous command without the approval
callback firing (GHSA-96vc-wcxf-jjff).
Replace the env-var flag with a thread/task-local contextvar in
tools.approval. The two HERMES_INTERACTIVE read sites in approval.py now go
through _is_interactive_cli() (contextvar-first, env fallback for legacy
single-threaded CLI callers). The ACP executor sets the contextvar instead
of os.environ; the existing contextvars.copy_context() wrapper isolates each
session's write.

The base BasePlatformAdapter implementations of send_voice, send_video,
send_document, and send_image_file forwarded their *_path argument
verbatim into the chat text (e.g. "🎬 Video: /home/.../hermes/cache/...").
Telegram, Discord, and Slack adapters all fall back to those base methods
when their native send raises — so a rejected video on Telegram surfaced
the host filesystem layout to the user instead of a useful message.
Replace the path-echo with a friendly notice, log the path for operator
diagnostics, and keep the user-supplied caption intact. The Slack adapter
had three identical sites that fell through to the same path-echo on its
own native upload failures; fix those too. send_document still surfaces
the caller-provided file_name (or the basename derived from it) since
that is the user-facing filename, not a host path.
Add regression tests asserting the *_path argument never appears in the
fallback content while caption text and explicit file_name still do.
The salvaged test double predated two main changes:
- start() now connects via _connect_adapter_with_timeout, which forwards
is_reconnect to adapter.connect(); the StartupRaceAdapter double didn't
accept the kwarg.
- stop() now awaits _finalize_shutdown_agents (async on main); the fixture
stubbed it as a plain MagicMock.
Accept is_reconnect in the double and use AsyncMock for the finalize stub.
Vision requests routed through the OpenAI-compat API server forward the
raw multi-part content list ([{type:"text"}, {type:"image_url"}, ...])
straight through as user_message. The codex intermediate-ack detector
flattened it with (user_message or "").strip(), so a truthy list survived
and .strip() raised AttributeError — killing any Codex-routed vision turn
that took the require_workspace path.
Route through the existing _summarize_user_message_for_log helper (which
already backs the logging/banner previews on main), and widen the param
type hint from str to Any to match how the function is actually called.
The two logging-preview sites the original PR also touched were fixed
independently on main by the conversation-loop refactor.

delegate_task's per-task completion display emitted lines like
"✓ [1/3] Research done (17.92s)" via a bare print(). Under ACP (and any
headless JSON-RPC stdio host where AIAgent routes human output to stderr
via a custom _print_fn), these landed on stdout and corrupted the
protocol frame stream, surfacing as "Failed to parse JSON message: ✓
[3/3] …" in the ACP adapter.
Add _emit_parent_console() which prefers parent_agent._safe_print (the
same hook AIAgent uses for every other user-facing print) and falls back
to print() only when no router is wired up or it raises. CLI behavior is
unchanged.
The PR's other fix (preset toolset expansion) is already covered on main
by _expand_parent_toolsets(), so only the stdio-safe printing change is
salvaged here.
The loopback ws-ping window is now 30s/60s (#48445/#50005), so the
hardcoded == 20.0 assertion was a change-detector that broke the moment
the loopback tuning landed. Assert the behavioral contract instead: ping
stays enabled (positive) and timeout >= interval.
session.info is only ever an emitted event (_emit), never a dispatched
@method RPC, so listing it in _LONG_HANDLERS is dead weight that can
never match a dispatched method name. Remove it from the set and the
test's frontend-polled list to keep _LONG_HANDLERS to real RPCs.
Frontend-polled read-only RPCs (session.list, pet.info, process.list)
ran inline in the WS read loop. Under GIL pressure from concurrent agent
turns they block the loop, timing out frontend polls and surfacing as a
false "needs setup" / dropped session (#50005, #48445). Route them
through _LONG_HANDLERS so dispatch() returns immediately, and raise the
default RPC pool to 8 workers so the added long handlers don't queue.

Batch delegation returned each subagent's full final_response verbatim
into the parent's context. A fan-out of N children could dump 60k+ tokens
at once, blowing the parent's context window and — on rate-limited
providers — triggering a compression/429 death spiral (429 misread as
context-too-large -> window step-down -> retry loop -> conversation dies).
Cap each summary against the parent's *remaining* context headroom split
across the batch (not a magic char count). When trimming, mirror the
web_extract convention: spill the full text to cache/delegation (mounted
into remote backends via credential_files._CACHE_DIRS) and return a
head+tail window (75/25, line-snapped) plus a footer with the exact
read_file offset to page the omitted middle. Both the subagent's opening
AND its closing (outcomes / files-changed / issues, which live at the end)
survive in-context, and nothing is lost — the parent can read_file the
full version on any backend.
delegation.max_summary_chars (default 24000) is a static ceiling layered
on top as belt-and-suspenders for models that ignore 'be concise'; 0
disables it. Child prompt tightened to lead with outcomes / bullets.

Three independent security-scanner hardenings, re-homed onto the current
shared threat-pattern architecture (tools/threat_patterns.py):
- approval.py: add bash/sh/zsh/ksh heredoc to DANGEROUS_PATTERNS. The
existing heredoc pattern only covered python/perl/ruby/node, so
`bash <<'EOF' ... EOF` ran arbitrary shell — including exfil pipelines
whose inner commands don't individually match a pattern — with no prompt.
- threat_patterns.py: apply unicodedata.normalize("NFKC", ...) before
pattern matching so full-width / compatibility homographs (e.g.
`ｃａｔ ~/.hermes/.env`) are folded to ASCII and no longer bypass the
keyword scanners. Invisible-char detection still runs on the raw content
first (NFKC can strip those codepoints).
- code_execution_tool.py: add CREDS/BEARER/APIKEY to _SECRET_SUBSTRINGS so
vars like HERMES_LLM_CREDS, API_BEARER, MY_APIKEY are scrubbed from the
sandbox env. PASS was intentionally dropped from the original proposal —
it false-positives on BYPASS_CACHE / COMPASS_DIR / PASSENGER_HOST while
PASSWORD/PASSWD already cover the credential cases.
The original PR also proposed a 'synonym' injection pattern block
(overlook/forget/set aside/bypass/discard + developer-mode); dropped here
because it false-positives on ordinary AGENTS.md/SOUL.md prose ("don't
forget to follow the rules", "run in developer mode"), exactly the
bossy-English class threat_patterns.py is documented to avoid.
Salvaged from #9028.

The auxiliary OpenAI clients were built without overriding the SDK's
default max_retries=2, so every aux call silently made up to 3 attempts
against a slow/hung endpoint — a 120s timeout could stall ~360s before
Hermes saw a single failure. On the critical compression preflight path,
Hermes then added its own same-provider timeout retry on top, roughly
doubling the user-visible stall again before fallback.
- Build both the sync (_create_openai_client) and async (_to_async_client)
aux clients with max_retries=0 (setdefault, so explicit callers still
override). Hermes already owns retry + provider/model fallback policy.
- For task == compression, skip the same-provider transient retry on a
full-budget timeout and fall straight through to fallback. Fast blips
(streaming-close, 5xx) still retry, since those are cheap.
- Add _is_timeout_error to distinguish a full-budget timeout from a fast
connection drop.
Addresses the retry-multiplication root cause of #54465 (the resume-wedge
persistence half landed in #55499).
patch_tool extracts V4A patch paths so _check_sensitive_path can refuse
writes to /etc/*, /boot/*, etc. before they reach the low-level file ops.
The extraction regex had two gaps:
1. `*** Move File: src -> dst` was never extracted (regex only matched
Update/Add/Delete), so a Move targeting /etc/crontab skipped the
pre-check and fell back on the narrower file_operations deny list.
2. The regex required `\\s+` after `***` but patch_parser uses `\\s*`, so
`***Update File: /etc/hosts` (no space) parsed + applied while
skipping the check.
Loosen the leading whitespace to \\s* and add a Move regex that checks
both endpoints. Move endpoints also run through the same '..' traversal
rejection as the other V4A headers (closes the sibling gap on current
main, which gained that traversal guard after this PR was opened).
`_resolve_api_key_provider_secret` resolved API keys via `get_env_value`,
which returns the `os.environ` value first and only falls back to
`~/.hermes/.env`. After a user rotates a key in `.env`, a stale value still
exported in the parent shell (Codex CLI, test runner, login profile) shadows
the fresh key on every request, producing persistent 401s.
The credential-pool seeding path was already fixed to prefer `.env`
(#18254/#18755), but the live request-time resolution path was not — so the
pool re-seeded with the fresh key while `_resolve_api_key_provider_secret`
kept returning the stale shell export. This closes that remaining path.
- config: add `get_env_value_prefer_dotenv()` — checks `~/.hermes/.env`
first, then `os.environ`. Distinct from `get_env_value()` (unchanged,
os.environ-first) so only Hermes-managed credential resolution flips
precedence; the generic helper's many callers are unaffected.
- auth: `_resolve_api_key_provider_secret` resolves through the new helper.
- tests: regression coverage for both the pool-seeding path and the
auth resolution path (a rotated `.env` key must beat a stale shell export).
Closes#20591.

Follow-up to the salvaged #8008 fix:
- Sibling-site fix: _evaluate_slash_authorization gated DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS /
DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS on numeric IDs only, so name/#name config that now works
for on_message still silently failed for slash-command interactions. Refactor the
channel-key helper to _discord_channel_keys_from_channel(channel, parent) and reuse
it at the interaction gate. Fail-closed on missing channel id is preserved.
- The contributor's hardcoded 8s flush deadline could be hard-cancelled mid-flush:
_teardown_adapter already wraps cancel_background_tasks() in the per-adapter
disconnect budget (HERMES_GATEWAY_ADAPTER_DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT, default 5s). The flush
deadline now derives from that budget with headroom so it always completes inside it.
- AUTHOR_MAP: map cypher@augmentl.com -> Nickperillo for CI.
- Tests: slash-auth name/#name allow + name ignore matching.
Two related fixes to the Discord gateway adapter:
1. Channel name matching (free-response, allowed, ignored, no-thread channels)
Previously these config values only matched against numeric channel IDs.
If a user configured free_response_channels: cypher (by name), the adapter
would silently ignore it because it only intersected against channel_ids.
Now the adapter builds a channel_keys set that includes the channel ID,
channel name, and #channel-name form, and checks all three for each gate.
2. Flush pending text-batch tasks before shutdown
The Discord adapter uses _pending_text_batch_tasks (its own dict) for
merging rapid successive message chunks. These tasks were NOT added to
self._background_tasks (the base class list), so the base
cancel_background_tasks() never awaited them on restart/shutdown.
This caused a race: in-flight response deliveries were cancelled before
Discord had a chance to send them, resulting in silent dropped messages
visible to users as tool-log-only replies with no text body.
Fix: override cancel_background_tasks() in DiscordAdapter to await all
pending text-batch tasks (8s deadline) before delegating to the base class.
The gateway-lifecycle guard's hermes-CLI pattern required `hermes`
and `gateway` to be adjacent, so a profile flag slipped the agent
past it: `hermes -p ade gateway restart` was not flagged. That is the
exact form from the 2026-04-11 ade-profile self-kill loop. Allow an
optional run of global flags (`-p ade`, `--profile ade`, multiple
flags) between `hermes` and the gateway subcommand.
launchctl self-termination is already covered on main by #33071; this
narrows the only remaining real gap.
Terminal rendition of the desktop Star Map / Memory Graph: learned skills
and memories on a timeline, shared by `hermes journey` and the TUI
`/journey` overlay via one size-aware Python renderer
(agent/learning_graph_render.py).
- TUI overlay mirrors /agents: static chart overview + selectable slice
list → slice detail → single skill/memory body, with the shared
inverse-row selection treatment and a pinned footer.
- Reuse primitives: extract OverlayScrollbar into its own module (now
shared with agentsOverlay), scroll the item body via ScrollBox, and
unify both lists through one table-driven ListRow.
- No animation/playback in the TUI — pure data; the renderer's reveal
scrubber stays available in the CLI (`--play`, `--reveal`).
Ensure Windows desktop and local terminal teardown kill full process trees so Git Bash descendants cannot survive wrapper exits and accumulate across retries.
MCP tools connected and enabled but never surfaced into the agent's
session toolset on the desktop app + dashboard WebUI (#51587).
There are two independent background MCP discovery thread owners by
surface: tui_gateway.entry (stdio 'hermes --tui') and hermes_cli.mcp_startup
(desktop app + dashboard WS sidecar via tui_gateway/ws.py, and 'hermes
dashboard'). The late-refresh scheduler gates on
tui_gateway.entry.mcp_discovery_in_flight(), which read ONLY the entry
thread global. On the desktop/dashboard surfaces that global is None, so a
server slower than the bounded build-time wait never triggered a late
refresh and its tools stayed invisible for the whole session.
Make mcp_discovery_in_flight() / join_mcp_discovery() consult BOTH thread
owners. Adds the matching in-flight/join helpers to hermes_cli.mcp_startup
and has tui_gateway.entry delegate to them as a second owner.
_sanitize_api_messages() compared raw tool_call_id strings without
stripping whitespace. When assistant-side IDs and tool-result IDs
diverged due to surrounding whitespace, valid tool results were treated
as orphaned and replaced with [Result unavailable] stub placeholders.
Strip whitespace in _get_tool_call_id_static() (both call_id/id paths,
dict and object) and at the two result_call_id comparison sites in
sanitize_api_messages(). Adds regression tests for preserved-whitespace
results and orphaned-whitespace removal.
Closes#9999
Follow-up hardening on the salvaged #54465 backoff persistence work.
The lease refresher's loop treated ANY falsy refresh as a permanent stop
(`if not refreshed: break`), conflating two distinct cases:
- genuine lost-ownership (rowcount 0) — correct to stop, and
- a one-off transient DB error (write contention that escapes
_execute_write's retry budget) — which returned False identically.
A single transient blip therefore killed the lease for the rest of a
multi-minute compression call, silently reintroducing the exact 300s-TTL <
~361s-call expiry wedge the PR set out to fix.
Changes:
- _CompressionLockLeaseRefresher._run now tolerates a bounded run of
consecutive failures (_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_REFRESH_FAILURES = 3) before giving
up the lease; a recovered tick resets the counter. Worst-case extra hold is
cap * refresh_interval, still bounded by the acquirer's TTL.
- Replace the two remaining silent `except Exception: pass` arms in the
compression-failure-cooldown persist/clear helpers with debug logging, for
parity with their sqlite3.Error sibling arms (a non-sqlite bug was invisible).
- Document the join(timeout=1.0) quiesce bound in stop().
- Add 3 regression tests: single-blip tolerance, persistent-failure stop at the
cap, and refresh-raising tolerance.
Detect a routing key whose session is already ended in state.db
(end_reason set) inside get_or_create_session and drop the stale entry
instead of silently routing the message into a closed session.
Previously the only runtime cleanup of sessions.json was the startup
_prune_stale_sessions_locked (#52808/#54138), which requires a restart.
A session ended while the gateway stays alive — any path that finalizes
the DB row without clearing sessions.json — left a live routing key
pointing at a closed session. get_or_create_session never consulted
end_reason, so it returned that stale entry and every subsequent message
was silently dropped (no log, no error, no response) until the next
restart. This is the live-gateway variant of #52804/FM9, which needed an
actual gateway crash.
The guard drops the stale entry and falls through to
_recover_session_from_db, which reopens agent_close-ended rows and
resumes the SAME session_id (transcript preserved); if the row ended for
a non-recoverable reason (e.g. /new) it correctly starts a fresh
session. A warning is logged so the event is visible (the field
incident reported zero log output).
Adds tests/gateway/test_session_store_runtime_stale_guard.py covering
the _is_session_ended_in_db helper and the end-to-end routing self-heal
(recover-vs-fresh, live-entry untouched, stale-wins-over-suspended,
force_new short-circuit).
Closes#54878.

Two robustness gaps from the #54843 truncate-store path:
- _store_full_text wrote the full clean page to cache/web with no upper
bound (path.write_text(content)); a multi-MB page → unbounded per-extract
disk write. Cap at MAX_STORED_TEXT_CHARS (2MB, the pre-truncate-store
refusal ceiling) with a marker when capped.
- The truncation footer told the model 'read_file ... offset=<line>' — a
literal placeholder it had to guess. Compute the real starting line of the
omitted middle (head line count + 1) so the first read_file lands in the gap.
Multiple @-references in one message (esp. @url: refs, each a full
web_extract round-trip) were expanded in a serial `for ref in refs: await`
loop. Switch to asyncio.gather over the independent _expand_reference calls,
reassembling warnings/blocks in original positional order so output is
byte-identical to the serial path; the token-budget check is unchanged.
Generic + provider-agnostic: helps every web backend equally (exa/tavily/
firecrawl/parallel) since it's above the provider layer. RED/GREEN test:
3 url refs @ 0.2s each = 0.60s serial -> ~0.20s concurrent.
#53552 flipped verify_on_stop to default OFF because the guard fired on
doc/markdown/skill edits and felt like noise. That doc/markdown/skill
suppression already shipped in the same change (_filter_verifiable_paths in
agent/verification_stop.py), so the original noise rationale no longer holds:
the guard already skips prose-only turns.
Restore the surface-aware "auto" default — ON for interactive coding surfaces
(CLI, TUI, desktop) and programmatic callers, OFF for conversational messaging
surfaces (Telegram, Discord, etc.) where the verification narrative would reach
a human as chat noise. The missing/unrecognized fallback in
verify_on_stop_enabled now resolves to the same surface-aware default instead of
hard OFF, so both the DEFAULT_CONFIG value and the resolver agree.
Scope: this changes the shipped default for fresh installs and configs without
an explicit verify_on_stop key. Existing configs that #53552/#54740 migrated to
an explicit `false` are respected and unchanged — this PR does not add a
force-migration of those values back to auto.
These tests patch `<module>.subprocess.run`, which is the shared `subprocess`
module singleton, so the patch is process-wide. Importing `tui_gateway.server`
runs `prefetch_update_check()` at import time, spawning an unnamed daemon thread
(`Thread-N (_run)`) that shells out to `git ... origin` (`text=True, timeout=5`).
That call races the test and lands in the captured list, intermittently failing
`test_tui_gateway_fuzzy_file_listing_hides_git_windows` with either
`KeyError: 'creationflags'` (the daemon's git call has no creationflags) or a
call-count mismatch (3 git calls captured, not 2). It only reproduced under the
parallel test harness because of the extra concurrency/timing.
Filter captured calls to the distinctive argv tokens of the call under test
(`--show-toplevel`, `ls-files`, `branch --show-current`, `diff`, `rg`,
`taskkill`) and read `creationflags` via `.get`, mirroring the existing
hardening on `test_gateway_pid_scan_hides_wmic_and_powershell_windows`. The
production code is unchanged; this is a test-isolation fix.
agent.coding_instructions (a string or list) is appended to the coding brief as
its own stable system block, so users can pin project-wide workflow rules
without editing the shipped brief. Coding-posture only and cache-safe (resolved
once per session; takes effect next session). Empty by default.
Add a `pre_verify` user/plugin/shell hook fired once per turn when the agent
edited code and is about to finish, after the existing verify-on-stop guard. A
hook can keep the agent going one more turn (run a check, defer it, tidy the
diff) by returning {"action":"continue","message":...} (the Claude-Code Stop
shape {"decision":"block","reason":...} is accepted too). Hooks receive coding,
attempt, final_response, and sorted changed_paths so they can self-scope and
self-throttle; the path is bounded by agent.max_verify_nudges and preserves
message-role alternation.
Hermes still ships its default coding guidance (agent.verify_guidance, on by
default), but it now rides the evidence-based verify-on-stop missing-evidence
nudge instead of a separate default pre_verify continuation, so it costs no
extra model turn of its own. Guidance reuses the shared utils.is_truthy_value
parser rather than a local copy.
Assemble a per-profile graph of memories and learned skills over time
(agent/learning_graph.py) and serve it at GET /api/learning/graph
(hermes_cli/web_server.py), with tests. The radial time axis the desktop
renders is derived from this payload; the REST path stays under /learning
for backend compatibility.
Follow-up to the judge gate. judge_goal() is fail-open at the source:
when no auxiliary model is reachable it returns a "continue" verdict
that is indistinguishable from a real "not done yet" judgment. The gate
treated any non-"done" verdict as a rejection, so an unconfigured or
degraded auxiliary model would wedge every goal_mode worker — it could
never close its own task. That contradicted the gate's own "fail-open"
comment.
Probe judge availability before enforcing (the same auxiliary client
lookup judge_goal performs) and only gate when a judge is actually
reachable. When none is, completion proceeds.
Also fix the rejection guidance: kanban_create takes parents=[...], not
parent=.
Add test_complete_goal_mode_allows_when_judge_unavailable covering the
fail-open path; update the rejection test to force the availability probe.
Apply naqerl's review comments on PR #38388:
- Hoist `from hermes_cli.goals import judge_goal` to module-level
imports so an import failure surfaces at module init, not lazily
on the first goal-mode completion (no circular import: hermes_cli
package init is trivial and does not load tools.kanban_tools).
- Narrow the fail-open `try` to wrap only the judge_goal() call.
The verdict check and its rejection `return tool_error(...)` now
live outside the handler, so a failure there can no longer be
swallowed by the broad except.
- Pass `exc_info=True` to the logger.warning call per CONTRIBUTING.md.
Update the test mock target to tools.kanban_tools.judge_goal, since
the hoisted import rebinds the name into this module's namespace.
Prevents workers in goal_mode from bypassing the auxiliary judge by
calling kanban_complete before acceptance criteria are met. The tool
handler now synchronously invokes the goal judge against the task's
title/body and the completion summary. If the verdict is not "done",
the completion is rejected with actionable guidance for the agent.
This keeps kanban_db.py as a pure SQLite wrapper while intercepting
the bypass exactly at the agent tool-call boundary, aligning with
Hermes separation of concerns.

Add a generic per-platform PlatformConfig.typing_indicator flag (default
True) that gates the _keep_typing refresh loop in
_process_message_background. When false, the loop is never spawned, so no
typing/"is thinking…" status is shown on that platform — message delivery
is otherwise unchanged.
Mirrors the gateway_restart_notification contract exactly: dataclass field
+ to_dict/from_dict (with extra-fallback resolution) + shared-key bridge in
load_gateway_config, so 'slack: typing_indicator: false' under platforms
works without a separate block. Generic by design — the same key works for
every platform (Slack 'is thinking…', Telegram/Discord/Signal typing).
Motivated by users who find Slack's assistant 'is thinking…' status noisy
(it also briefly disables the compose box, via the Assistant API).
degraded is the same wedge class as draining: the gateway came up with
some platforms queued for retry, fell through to the running state
(gateway/run.py #5196), and is serving. A hard-kill there strands
gateway_state=degraded, which (like draining) is not in _AUTOSTART_STATES
and is not an operator stop or a failed boot — so it would stay DOWN
forever on every recreate. Add degraded to _TRANSIENT_RUNNING_STATES so
the fallback path normalises it to running-intent too.
A gateway hard-killed while draining (a container/VM recreate SIGTERMs it
before _stop_impl reaches its terminal-state persist) leaves
gateway_state.json frozen at 'draining'. With no explicit desired_state to
fall back to, container_boot read that transient value literally, found it
not in _AUTOSTART_STATES, and left the gateway DOWN on every subsequent
boot — dashboard up, messaging silently dark. Observed on a relay-opted-in
staging instance (2026-06): the s6 gateway-default slot kept its 'down'
marker across recreates and the gateway never came back.
'draining' is a transient sub-state of RUNNING (written by the drain
watcher / scale-to-zero go-dormant path), never an operator stop and never
a failed boot. Normalise it to 'running' in the gateway_state fallback so a
stranded drain marker reads as the run-intent it represents. This extends
gateway/run.py's #42675 handling (persist 'running' on an unexpected signal)
to the case where the gateway died before persisting anything at all.
'starting'/'startup_failed' are deliberately NOT normalised — those mean a
mid-boot death and must stay down to avoid the crash-loop the down-marker
guard prevents. An explicit desired_state still wins verbatim, so an
operator stop survives a transient 'draining' runtime value.
Tests: draining named-profile + default-root autostart (both fail without
the fix), plus a guard that an explicit desired_state=stopped still blocks a
draining runtime.
Add durable public-URL output and URL-based chaining to xAI Grok Imagine:
- Store generated media on files-cdn with permanent public HTTPS URLs
(public_url: true, no expiry by default).
- Chain by URL: generate -> edit -> extend each take a prior result's
public HTTPS URL (or a data URI / local file for inputs).
- Add provider-specific xai_video_edit and xai_video_extend tools.
- Image generation: public-URL/storage output, multi-reference edits,
and ~/ local-path support for image edits.
Credentials use xAI Grok device-code OAuth (separate PR).
A Slack user/legacy token (xoxp-...) makes auth.test resolve to the
installing human's member ID with no bot_id, so the adapter binds its
identity (_bot_user_id / _team_bot_user_ids) to that human. Every
"is this the bot?" check then misfires: that person's <@...> mentions
wake the bot and are stripped as the bot's own mention, so the agent is
genuinely told it was @mentioned and replies to messages merely
addressed to that human (symptom: bot responds to "@trevor ..." and
insists it was explicitly mentioned).
There is no runtime API error to catch — a user token still
sends/receives — so the only detectable moment is connect time. Add a
warning-only nudge (_warn_if_not_bot_token) alongside the existing
group-DM scope nudge: when auth.test resolves a user_id but no bot_id,
log that the token is a user token and to use the xoxb-... Bot User
OAuth Token. Warning-only: does not block a working-but-misconfigured
install. Fires once per workspace per process.
Channel users get the same context split the desktop popover shows
(PR #54907) — system prompt, tools, rules, skills, MCP, subagents,
memory, conversation — under the existing Context line in /usage.
Reuses agent.context_breakdown.compute_session_context_breakdown, so
there is no new tool and no new engine. The slices are estimates
(chars/4) and the block is labelled _(estimated)_; the headline
Context line keeps using the provider-measured last_prompt_tokens.
Rendering is fail-open: any engine error returns no breakdown and the
rest of /usage is unaffected.
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _context_breakdown_lines() helper + wire

The self-hosted OIDC dashboard provider was public-client + PKCE only, with
two `# TODO(confidential-client)` seams. Authentik and Keycloak commonly
default a new OIDC client to *confidential*, whose token endpoint rejects an
unauthenticated exchange (`invalid_client`) — so a self-hoster who accepts
their IDP's default could not complete dashboard login without manually
flipping the client to public.
Add optional confidential-client support:
- New optional `client_secret` (env `HERMES_DASHBOARD_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET`,
or `dashboard.oauth.self_hosted.client_secret`; env-wins-config, empty
treated as unset). It is a credential, so docs steer operators to the
`.env` file; config.yaml is supported only for precedence symmetry.
- `_token_endpoint_auth()` selects `client_secret_basic` (HTTP Basic header)
vs `client_secret_post` (form body) from the IDP's advertised
`token_endpoint_auth_methods_supported`, defaulting to basic (the OIDC
default) when absent. Applied to complete_login, refresh_session, and
revoke_session (RFC 7009 §2.1).
- PKCE is sent in BOTH modes — the secret is client authentication layered
on top, never a replacement (OAuth 2.1 / RFC 9700 keep PKCE mandatory).
- Basic header url-encodes client_id/secret before base64 per RFC 6749
§2.3.1, so reserved chars (`:`, `@`, space) round-trip correctly.
Non-breaking: with no secret configured the provider is a pure public PKCE
client, byte-identical to prior behaviour (no Authorization header, no
client_secret in the body). The secret is never logged — register() reports
only a `confidential=<bool>` flag.
Tests: 16 new cases covering basic/post selection, default-when-absent,
public-unchanged contract, PKCE-preserved, reserved-char url-encoding,
blank-secret-is-public, refresh + revoke auth, no-secret-in-logs, and
env/config register wiring. Full dashboard-auth suite (nous provider,
middleware, gate, cookies, WS, 401-reauth, status endpoint) — 396 tests —
green, proving no existing auth path regressed.
* feat(display): friendly human-phrased tool labels for built-in tools
Built-in tools now render ChatGPT-style status verbs ('Searching the web
for ...', 'Reading <file>', 'Browsing <url>') on the CLI spinner and
gateway/desktop tool-progress instead of the raw tool name.
- agent/display.py: _TOOL_VERBS map + build_tool_label() + set/get
friendly-labels flag (default on). Custom/plugin/MCP tools fall back to
the raw preview; verbose gateway mode left untouched (debug surface).
- tool_executor.py / tui_gateway / gateway: route the three spinner sites,
the TUI _tool_ctx, and the gateway all/new progress line through the label.
- config: display.friendly_tool_labels (default True, per-platform aware).
Zero new core tool / schema footprint — pure display layer.
* docs: add PR infographic for friendly tool labels
* fix(display): preserve arg preview in gateway friendly labels + update tests
The first gateway pass re-derived the label from the callback's `args`, which
is empty ({}) at the gateway tool.started callsite — the command/query lives in
the `preview` string, so terminal rendered as a bare '💻 Running' and dedup
collapsed consecutive commands. Now the gateway prefixes the verb onto the
already-computed preview via get_tool_verb/tool_verb_connector/verb_drops_preview,
preserving the command/url/query. CLI spinner path (real args) keeps build_tool_label.
Tests: update test_run_progress_topics exact-format assertions to the friendly
form ('💻 Running pwd'), add a format-agnostic preview extractor for the
truncation tests (works for both quoted-legacy and verb-prefixed output).
* test(tui): update resume-display context to friendly tool label
_tool_ctx now uses build_tool_label, so the desktop resume-view context for a
search_files turn reads 'Searching files for resume' instead of the bare
'resume' preview — consistent with live tool-progress. Update the assertion.
* test(tui): harden no-race worker test against sibling shard leakage
test_session_create_no_race_keeps_worker_alive flaked under -j 8: a daemon
build thread leaked from a prior session.create test in the same shard process
fires close/unregister against its own (foreign) session_key after this test
patches the global approval hooks, polluting the captured lists. Scope the
assertions to this session's own session_key so the regression intent
(this session's worker/notify must survive) is preserved while the test
becomes immune to shard composition. Not related to friendly-tool-labels.
The self-hosted OIDC dashboard login rejected any http:// redirect_uri
whose host was not localhost/127.0.0.1, surfacing "redirect_uri may only use http:// for localhost/127.0.0.1" before reaching the IDP. This broke self-hosted dashboards reached over plain HTTP (including LAN IPs, internal hostnames, and reverse proxies that terminate TLS upstream).
#38827 already dropped this check from the nous provider, but the generic self-hosted provider copied the old localhost-only
branch and reintroduced the bug for HERMES_DASHBOARD_OIDC_ISSUER setups.
The IDP's own allowlist is authoritative on which redirect_uris are
permitted; this client-side _validate_redirect_uri is only a fast-fail for
obvious operator error and should not second-guess valid http:// deployments.
Fix: drop the localhost-only branch on the http scheme. Validation now enforces only that the scheme is http(s) and the path ends with
/auth/callback. Updated the docstring to explain the relaxed contract,
and added test_allows_http_with_arbitrary_host covering an internal
hostname and a LAN IP alongside the existing localhost case.
The topic-mode helpers (_telegram_topic_mode_enabled,
_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id, _record/_sync_telegram_topic_binding,
_is_telegram_topic_lane/_root_lobby, _normalize_source_for_session_key,
_telegram_topic_new_header, _schedule_telegram_topic_title_rename, and the
base.py _apply_topic_recovery hook) each run a synchronous SessionDB read or
write. They reach the event loop through async handlers, so a contended
state.db froze the loop the same way the handoff watcher did.
These helpers already run off-loop in the run_sync thread-pool closure, so
they are proven thread-safe there. Rather than colour them async, loop-side
callers now invoke them via asyncio.to_thread(...); the executor callers are
unchanged. Inside the helpers the SessionDB handle is unwrapped to the sync
door (getattr(db, '_db', db)) since they always run on a worker thread, and
AIAgent construction + query_session_listing are handed the sync SessionDB
directly. base.py wraps its single _apply_topic_recovery call in to_thread.
The guard is now alias-aware (catches db = getattr(self, '_session_db', None);
db.method(...)) and enforces the offload contract: the offloaded sync helpers
may never be called bare on the loop. Sibling test fixtures wrap their injected
SessionDB in AsyncSessionDB to match how the gateway holds it.
* fix(gateway): skip confirmed-dead delivery targets (deleted groups, blocked bots)
A deleted Telegram group, kicked/blocked bot, or deactivated user keeps
throwing Forbidden/not_found on every cron tick and fan-out delivery. Each
retry burns a send against the platform's flood-control envelope and spams
the logs, making the whole session feel broken even when the model call
completed.
Add a small persistent DeadTargetRegistry (per-profile JSON under
HERMES_HOME) that records a target the moment a send reports a whole-chat
death (forbidden / chat-level not_found), and have DeliveryRouter.deliver()
short-circuit it on subsequent attempts. Self-healing: any successful send
clears the flag, so a user re-adding the bot recovers with no manual cleanup.
Thread/topic-level not_found is NOT recorded (adapters already self-heal that
by retrying without reply_to). Transient/timeout errors are never marked dead.
* infographic: dead delivery target skipping
Add a generic suppress_notification flag to the drain-request marker. When a
drain that ends in process exit (e.g. a NAS auto-update image migration on the
always-on Hermes Cloud fleet) is flagged, the gateway skips ONLY the
home-channel 'gateway shutting down' broadcast — the operator-flavoured ping
that would otherwise fire on every routine auto-update, dozens of times a day.
The per-active-session interrupt ping is ALWAYS kept: on a drained shutdown
it's empty by construction, and in the force-interrupt (deadline-exceeded) case
it carries the user-valuable 'your task was cut off, message me to resume' hint.
The gateway stays agnostic about WHY a drain is quiet (generic boolean, not a
kind enum); the policy of which drain causes set the flag lives in the caller
(NAS). Default-false so legacy/operator drains behave exactly as before. The
reader reuses the NS-570 epoch-staleness check so an orphaned marker on the
durable volume can never silence a fresh gateway's legitimate broadcast.
- drain_control.py: write_drain_request gains suppress_notification; new
drain_notification_suppressed() reader (current-epoch + truthy flag).
- web_server.py: /api/gateway/drain reads + echoes the flag.
- run.py: _notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown skips the home-channel loop only.
Tests prove: flag round-trips; home-channel suppressed when set, kept when
unset; active-session ping always fires; stale/legacy/corrupt markers never
suppress.
* feat(web_extract): truncate-and-store instead of LLM summarization
web_extract no longer runs an auxiliary LLM over scraped pages. The extract
backends (Firecrawl/Tavily/Exa/Parallel) already return clean, boilerplate-
stripped markdown, so we return it directly: pages within a char budget
(default 15000, web.extract_char_limit) come back whole; larger pages get a
head+tail window plus an explicit footer giving the stored full-text path and
the read_file call to page through the omitted middle. The full clean text is
written to cache/web (mounted read-only into remote backends like the other
cache dirs), so nothing is lost.
Inline base64 images are converted to [IMAGE: alt] placeholders (token bombs
dropped) while real http(s) image URLs are preserved as links so the agent can
still web_extract/vision_analyze them.
Removes process_content_with_llm + the chunked summarizer + check_auxiliary_model
+ _resolve_web_extract_auxiliary. context_references._default_url_fetcher is
updated to the truncate path and its stale data.documents shape read is fixed
to results (it was silently returning empty).
Live before/after eval (firecrawl, 4 URLs): 11.7x faster overall (176.6s ->
15.1s); 10-60x on large pages. Quality identical; findability 4/4 (answer
recoverable from stored full text on every truncated page). web_search is
unchanged.
No own scraper added; no changes to web_search.
* fix(web_extract): add char_limit to execute_code web_extract stub
The new web_extract char_limit param must appear in the code_execution_tool
_TOOL_STUBS signature (and doc line) or test_stubs_cover_all_schema_params
fails — the stub schema must cover every real schema param.
Let users click the status bar context indicator to see how tokens are
split across system prompt, tools, rules, skills, MCP, and conversation.

The register path builds each profile-gateway slot in a sibling staging
dir under /run/service (the scandir s6-svscan watches), then atomically
renames it to the live gateway-<profile> name. The staging dir was named
gateway-<profile>.tmp — a NON-dotfile — so a concurrent `s6-svscanctl -a`
rescan (fired by the cont-init reconciler registering gateway-default, or
by a sibling register) would supervise the half-built slot the moment it
had a valid type/run: s6-supervise spawns AS ROOT and mkdirs supervise/
root-owned 0700, then the in-flight _seed_supervise_skeleton early-returns
on the now-existing supervise/ and the next `mkdir supervise/event` hits
PermissionError.
That is the arm64-only CI flake on
test_s6_unregister_removes_service_dir_in_live_container
(PermissionError: /run/service/gateway-phase3test.tmp/supervise/event) —
arm64-only because the native-arm runner's wider scheduling jitter lets
the rescan land inside the ~ms seed window; amd64 ran 30/30 clean.
Fix: dot-prefix the staging dir (.gateway-<profile>.tmp) in both register
paths (S6ServiceManager.register_profile_gateway and
container_boot._register_service). s6-svscan skips any scandir entry whose
name begins with '.', so the half-built slot can never be supervised
mid-build. The atomic rename to the dotless live name is unchanged.
Verified on a real s6 image (amd64): a non-dotted staging dir is picked up
by an svscanctl -a rescan (SUPERVISED owner=root) while a dot-prefixed one
is ignored (NOT-SUPERVISED). Added a docker-harness regression test that
asserts both, plus a unit test that the staging dir is dot-prefixed.
Widen #5961's _format_untrusted_prompt_value coverage to the Matrix
room display name (**Matrix Room:**), a sibling attacker-controllable
field the original fix missed. chat_name is user-settable, so an
injected room name could render as literal markdown in the system
prompt. Adds a regression test.
Defense-in-depth on top of _safe_session_filename_component (#5958):
Sink (makes the bad write impossible regardless of entry point):
- run_agent._save_session_log: sanitize session_id before building the
session_{sid}.json snapshot path.
- agent_runtime_helpers.dump_api_request_debug: sanitize before building
the request_dump_{sid}_{ts}.json path.
Boundary (clean 400 instead of a silently-hashed filename):
- api_server rejects path-traversal-shaped X-Hermes-Session-Id on the
session-continuation path and the explicit /api/sessions create path,
reusing gateway.session._is_path_unsafe (mirrors the native gateway's
entry-boundary guard). Also enforces the session-header length cap on
the continuation path.
Tests: traversal session_id stays contained at the write site; sanitizer
always yields a traversal-free segment; the API header rejects
../, absolute, and Windows-traversal IDs with 400.
The reset-had-activity tests set total_tokens (dead state) to simulate
activity; production records activity via last_prompt_tokens. Update
the fixtures to match the field the fix and runtime actually use.
The gateway's get_or_create_session() creates a bare session row (source +
user_id) before the agent exists. The agent's later create_session() carries
the real model/model_config/system_prompt, but _insert_session_row used
INSERT OR IGNORE — silently dropping that enrichment. Gateway sessions were
left with NULL model and NULL billing metadata.
Switch to INSERT ... ON CONFLICT(id) DO UPDATE with COALESCE so NULL columns
get backfilled while values an earlier writer already set are never
overwritten (a later bare write with source='unknown' can't clobber a real
source/model). Credit: original report and fix direction by @LucidPaths (#5048).
When the dashboard gateway has no local session cookie, it rendered a
click-through /login interstitial — even though the Nous portal's
/oauth/authorize auto-approves any current member of the dashboard's org
and is a silent 302 when the user already holds a portal session. For the
common case (clicking a hosted-agent dashboard link while signed in to the
portal) that interstitial click is pure friction.
This makes the gate auto-initiate the OAuth redirect on an unauthenticated
HTML document load instead of rendering the interstitial, when exactly one
interactive provider is registered. A one-shot loop-guard cookie
(hermes_sso_attempt, 60s TTL) ensures that a genuinely absent portal
session (the portal bounces back still-unauthenticated) falls back to the
/login page after exactly one bounce rather than ping-ponging forever. The
marker is cleared on a successful callback and whenever the gate falls back
to /login.
Security: this removes a human CLICK, not a security check. The redirect
lands on the existing /auth/login route and runs the unchanged PKCE
auth-code flow; token verification, audience checks, redirect-URI match,
and org-membership checks are all untouched. /api/* fetches still get the
401 JSON envelope (never a 302 a fetch() would follow opaquely), and with
two or more providers the /login chooser still renders.
Phase 1 of the cloud-auto-discovery work.
The five _resolved_api_call_stale_timeout_base integration tests reloaded
hermes_cli.config + hermes_cli.timeouts via importlib.reload to clear cached
config. Under xdist that mutates module-global state shared across the worker
process, so a sibling test could leave the config cache in a state that made
get_provider_stale_timeout return a leaked value — intermittently failing
test_reasoning_floor_applies_to_opus_4_thinking (shard 6 flake, #52217 area).
Patch run_agent.get_provider_stale_timeout per-test instead: floor-path tests
get None (resolver falls through to the reasoning floor / env var / default),
the explicit-config test gets 60.0 (priority-1 short-circuit). Same assertions,
no shared-module mutation, deterministic under parallel execution.
Fixes#14238. During a compression/session split at the response
boundary, the interim callback delivered unrelated commentary, setting
response_previewed=True. The suppression logic treated that as proof the
final reply had been delivered and skipped the normal send — the response
was persisted to the child session but never sent to chat.
Only suppress the normal final send when the stream consumer confirms
final delivery (final_response_sent / final_content_delivered) or the
exact final response text was delivered as a preview.
resolve_custom_provider() previously returned api_key_env_vars=()
for every custom provider entry, silently dropping the configured
key_env field. This caused 401 errors for any custom provider that
required an API key via environment variable (e.g. Xiaomi MiMo Token
Plan, self-hosted OpenAI-compatible servers).
The key_env field is already documented in _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS
and normalized by normalize_custom_provider_entry(), so this was just
an oversight in the ProviderDef construction.
Also adds a regression test that verifies key_env is properly
propagated into the resolved ProviderDef.
The first ship of verify-on-stop (config v30) defaulted
DEFAULT_CONFIG agent.verify_on_stop to a literal True, and migrate_config
persists defaults with strip_defaults=False — so every install that updated
through v30 had verify_on_stop: true written into config.yaml as a literal.
The v30->v31 migration only flipped missing/'auto' values to false and
deliberately preserved an explicit bool, so it skipped that entire population
and left verify-on-stop ON for everyone who had updated. A literal true was
never a user choice: the feature had no off-switch worth setting it against
until v31 introduced one, so a true persisted before v32 is always the old
machine default.
v32 migration flips a literal true -> false once, for both v30 (skipped v31)
and v31 (preserved-by-bug) installs. A true the user sets AFTER v32 is a
deliberate opt-in and is never touched.
The original cap held a process-global slot across the WHOLE vision
analysis (image load + encode + LLM call) with a default of min(CPUs, 4).
That serialized legitimate multi-image workflows — "compare these 6
screenshots", "read this 10-page scan", "analyze every frame" — behind a
4-wide gate, and on the native fast path it even throttled calls that make
no LLM request at all. Excess calls queued (blocking acquire, nothing
dropped), but the latency hit on real fan-out was the wrong tradeoff.
The incident was CPU exhaustion, not call count: concurrent base64/resize
bursts saturated every core and left none to service the shared event loop
serving /api/status. So cap ONLY that:
- A dedicated, bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (_vision_cpu_executor) runs the
encode/resize/dimension-check off the caller's loop, sized to the host's
usable core count with NO fixed ceiling — the cap tracks the actual
exhausted resource (cores), not a magic number. Excess encodes queue on
the executor; cores stay free for the loop.
- The LLM call is deliberately OUTSIDE the executor, so multi-image
workflows keep full request concurrency.
- Override via auxiliary.vision.max_concurrency / HERMES_VISION_MAX_CONCURRENCY
(honored verbatim, including above core count); sub-1 ignored.
- _vision_concurrency_slot() is now a no-op shim for back-compat.
Tests assert: resolver defaults to host cores with no ceiling; env/config
override (incl. above cores); sub-1 rejection; the executor is dedicated and
core-sized; encode runs on a vision-encode thread; and crucially that encode
bursts are bounded to the cap while the analyses themselves stay fully
concurrent (calls_peak > cap).
A single agent turn can fan out N vision_analyze calls at once — the
classic trigger is "analyze every frame of this video", where ffmpeg
explodes a clip into dozens of frames and the model calls vision_analyze
on each. Every call does a CPU-heavy base64-encode/resize burst AND holds
a long-lived LLM stream open. The tool executor runs concurrent tool calls
on a per-session ThreadPoolExecutor (_MAX_TOOL_WORKERS=8), and multiple
agent sessions share one process (the dashboard runs the agent in-process),
so there was no global ceiling. In prod (June 2026) a video-frame fan-out
pinned a worker thread at ~100% CPU and starved the shared asyncio event
loop that also serves the dashboard's /api/status liveness probe, flapping
the instance to UNHEALTHY even though nothing had crashed.
Add a process-global threading.BoundedSemaphore that bounds how many vision
analyses run concurrently across the whole process, held across the entire
analysis (image load + encode + LLM call) in the single _handle_vision_analyze
chokepoint (covers both the native fast path and the legacy aux-LLM path).
It is a threading semaphore, NOT asyncio: each vision call is dispatched
through model_tools._run_async on a per-thread event loop, so an asyncio
primitive bound to one loop cannot coordinate across them. The acquire is
offloaded via run_in_executor so waiting for a slot never blocks the calling
loop.
Default: min(host CPUs, 4), floored at 1 — respect the host's concurrency,
or lower. Override via auxiliary.vision.max_concurrency (config.yaml) or
HERMES_VISION_MAX_CONCURRENCY (env). Values < 1 are ignored so the cap can
never be disabled into an unbounded fan-out.
Tests: bounded-fan-out regression guard + a control proving it would fail
without the cap; resolver tests for host-cpu default, ceiling clamp, low-cpu
host, env override, and sub-1 rejection. Pre-existing handler tests updated
for the now-async _handle_vision_analyze. Verified via the real
registry.dispatch -> _run_async per-thread-loop path (16 concurrent calls,
peak bounded to cap).
The auth-header fix adds headers=_auth_headers() to all Camofox HTTP
calls. Two _capture_post mocks in the persistence test lacked a headers
parameter, so navigate raised TypeError and the success assertions
failed. Add headers=None to both mock signatures.
The Camofox browser backend hardcoded a 30s HTTP timeout via
_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, ignoring the user's browser.command_timeout config.
The main browser_tool path already reads this config via
_get_command_timeout().
This commit adds an equivalent _get_command_timeout() to
browser_camofox.py that reads browser.command_timeout from config
with caching, and switches all HTTP helper methods (_post, _get,
_get_raw, _delete) to use it as the default timeout.
Fixes#40843
The five HTTP call sites in browser_camofox.py (_ensure_tab, _post,
_get, _get_raw, _delete) did not include Authorization headers, causing
403 Forbidden when the Camofox server has API key auth enabled.
Added _auth_headers() helper and wired it into all five call sites.
The health check endpoint (/health) is left without auth since it is
a connectivity probe, not a browser operation.
Regression test covers: header present when key set, absent when unset,
blank key produces empty headers.
Fixes#20476
The Camoufox REST API server expects `listItemId` in the `POST /tabs`
body, but `_ensure_tab` was sending `sessionKey`. This caused a 400
Bad Request on every `browser_navigate` call.
The parameter name mismatch is visible in the same file: line 283
already reads `tab.get("listItemId")` when adopting existing tabs,
confirming the server-side field name.
Fixes#37960
Follow-up to the group-DM manifest fix. The manifest change only helps
NEW installs; existing apps keep their old (mpim-less) scopes until the
admin reinstalls. Since a missing message.mpim event delivers nothing
(no runtime API error to catch), detect stale installs at connect time
from the auth.test x-oauth-scopes header and log an actionable reinstall
nudge when im:history is granted but mpim:history is not. Also promote
message.mpim from Recommended to Required in the docs event tables so the
default setup path can't drop it.
Group DMs (multi-person DMs, channel_type=mpim) were never delivered to
the Slack bot. The adapter already classifies mpim as a DM and replies
ambiently (adapter.py:2526, is_dm = channel_type in {im, mpim}), but the
generated app manifest only subscribed to message.im / im:history — the
1:1 DM pair. Without the message.mpim event subscription Slack drops
group-DM messages before the adapter ever sees them, so 1:1 DMs worked
while group-DM ambient mode was dead.
Add message.mpim to bot_events and mpim:history (the scope that event
requires per Slack docs) + mpim:read (mirrors im:read for the
conversations.info classification call) to bot_scopes. Update the
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_APP_TOKEN setup-help strings and the Slack docs
(EN + zh-Hans: scope table, event table, troubleshooting) so existing
installs are told to add the new scopes and reinstall.
Reported by an enterprise customer. Note: this is a manifest/scope
change, so it only takes effect after the app is reinstalled and the
new scopes are accepted.
Tests: assert message.mpim + mpim:history + mpim:read are in the
manifest (with and without assistant mode); both fail on current main
and pass with this change.
test_gateway_pid_scan_hides_wmic_and_powershell_windows flaked once in CI
(slice 7/8) with 'KeyError: creationflags' while passing 15/15 under exact
CI-parity locally. The positional 'kwargs["creationflags"]' indexing raises
a bare KeyError the moment any stray subprocess.run call is captured, masking
the real contract. Filter captured calls to the two intended Windows console
spawns (wmic + PowerShell fallback) and assert each is windowless via
.get('creationflags'); a leaked/extra call now surfaces as a readable
len-mismatch with the full captured list, not a cryptic KeyError.
The supermemory and mem0 memory providers shipped third-party SDKs
(supermemory / mem0ai) that are not core dependencies, but — unlike the
honcho and hindsight providers — they imported those SDKs directly with
no tools.lazy_deps.ensure() preflight and had no LAZY_DEPS allowlist
entry. On the published Docker image the agent venv is sealed
(HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS=1) and lazy installs are redirected to a
writable durable target (HERMES_LAZY_INSTALL_TARGET). honcho/hindsight
route through ensure() and install fine there; supermemory/mem0 never
called it, so their SDK was never installed on a hosted instance and the
provider silently reported itself unavailable even with the API key set.
Fixes:
- Add memory.supermemory + memory.mem0 to the LAZY_DEPS allowlist
(tools/lazy_deps.py), pinned to current PyPI releases.
- Call ensure('memory.<x>', prompt=False) at each SDK-import chokepoint
(_SupermemoryClient.__init__; Mem0MemoryProvider._create_backend),
mirroring honcho's wrapped try/except shape.
- Drop the SDK-import gate from supermemory's is_available() — it was a
chicken-and-egg trap (provider never loaded on a sealed venv, so
ensure() never ran). Now key-presence only, like honcho/mem0.
- Add matching pyproject extras [supermemory]/[mem0]; update the
lazy-covered-extras contract test (excluded from [all] by policy).
Tests prove each path fails without the fix and the real sealed-venv
durable-target gate accepts both features.
The Keys page only rendered env vars present in a catalog (OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
or the provider catalog); any other key a user set in .env was invisible, and
there was no way to add an arbitrary env var from the GUI (e.g. to inject a
var a skill or MCP server needs).
Backend: GET /api/env now also emits a row for every on-disk .env key that
isn't in any catalog, flagged category="custom" + custom=true and
password-masked (an unrecognised key could hold anything, so it's redacted and
reveal-gated like any secret). Channel-managed credentials stay excluded. The
write (PUT /api/env) and reveal (POST /api/env/reveal) paths already handle
arbitrary keys, with the existing env-name guard + denylist (PATH, LD_PRELOAD,
PYTHONPATH, …) enforced server-side — no new write surface.
Frontend: a new "Custom Keys" section lists those custom rows and carries an
add-a-key form (client-side name validation mirroring the backend regex; the
new row reuses the normal edit/save flow, so on save it round-trips back from
the backend as a durable custom row). i18n added for en + zh + types.
Tests: behavior-contract coverage that an unknown .env key surfaces as a
masked custom row and a catalogued key does not — verified to fail on the
pre-fix backend.
