* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
The chat PTY launch path landed on main after PR #50558 and still called
_session_latest_descendant() with the old one-arg signature. Open the
requested profile's state DB (matching the REST endpoint) so profile-scoped
resume resolves descendants in the right database.
The connector now depends on the single multiplexed gateway for per-profile
relay routing, so hosted deployments need to FORCE multiplexing on regardless
of the image's config.yaml. gateway.multiplex_profiles was config.yaml-only,
which a user could leave unset or flip off.
Add GATEWAY_MULTIPLEX_PROFILES as a standard operator override on top of the
existing config key — the same 'config.yaml is canonical, env is the operator
override' pattern the Telegram/Signal require_mention bridges use:
env (recognized token) > config.yaml (top-level or nested gateway.*) > False
- gateway/config.py: _env_multiplex_profiles_override() resolves the env var
tri-state — recognized truthy/falsy token → bool; unset/blank/unrecognized
→ None (fall through to config). Blank is deliberately None, not False, so a
provisioned-but-unpopulated Fly secret ('') can't shadow a config.yaml opt-in
(the empty-secret trap). Wired into GatewayConfig.from_dict so every consumer
(run.py, session.py via self.config) sees the resolved value.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: the named-profile-start guard
(_guard_named_profile_under_multiplexer) reads config.yaml directly, so it
gets the SAME env precedence — otherwise env-forced multiplex would leave the
guard blind and someone could start a conflicting per-profile gateway that
double-binds a bot token. Env-forced-on trips the guard even with no
config.yaml key; env-forced-off disables it over a config opt-in.
Tests: full 3-tier precedence in test_config.py (incl. the discriminating
env-overrides-config cases + the empty/whitespace/unrecognized fall-through
trap + resolver tri-state), mutation-verified (flipping precedence fails
exactly the two env-wins tests); guard env cases in test_multiplex_lifecycle.py.
Force-on is safe on a single-profile instance: session keys stay byte-identical
(agent:main) and the _run_agent wrapper installs the per-turn secret scope, so
the fail-closed get_secret() path is satisfied.
Strict charset allowlist (alnum + - _, max 64) on the {name} path param of
the memory-provider config/setup endpoints. Prevents traversal-shaped names
from reaching find_provider_dir(), and setup now 404s when neither a
loadable provider nor a plugin manifest exists, so the command-running path
is only reachable for discoverable plugins. Adds regression tests.
The profile+gateway topology added in #60537 sits entirely behind the
loopback/--insecure auth gate. But a hosted agent (Hermes Cloud) binds
non-loopback with OAuth, so should_require_auth is True, and NAS reads
/api/status over the network (fly-provider.ts getInstanceRuntimeStatus)
with no session token. On that gated path the whole topology block was
omitted, so the Portal could never render the profile list.
Split the topology readout by sensitivity:
- profile NAMES (profiles) + gateway_mode are low-sensitivity product
surface and now ride the always-public status body, surviving the auth
gate so NAS/the Portal can enumerate profiles.
- the per-gateway detail (gateways[], carrying host ports) is deployment
recon and stays gated alongside hermes_home / config_path / env_path /
gateway_pid / gateway_health_url.
The collector now runs unconditionally (still in the executor, off the
event loop). No new fields; only the gate placement changes.
Headless/hosted deploys run the dashboard server without COLORTERM in
the process environment, so chalk inside the PTY-spawned TUI child
downgraded every skin hex color to the xterm 256 palette — the default
skin's bronze banner border (#CD7F32) snapped to palette 173 (#D7875F,
salmon red) and the gold caduceus rendered red/yellow on fresh cloud
instances. Local launches never reproduced it because the operator's
interactive terminal leaks COLORTERM=truecolor into the server env.
xterm.js always renders 24-bit RGB, so the dashboard PTY child should
always advertise truecolor: backfill COLORTERM=truecolor in
_resolve_chat_argv via setdefault (an explicit operator value wins).
Verified with a clean-env PTY probe of the real TUI binary:
no COLORTERM -> 0 truecolor SGRs / 165 palette-256 (salmon 38;5;173);
with the backfill -> 166 truecolor SGRs, exact bronze 38;2;205;127;50.
When a user explicitly configures a platform with its native composite
(e.g. platform_toolsets.discord: [hermes-discord]), the discord and
discord_admin toolsets were silently stripped by _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
even though the composite contains those tools. The strip could not tell
an explicit composite opt-in apart from the unconfigured default.
Track whether the platform was explicitly configured and, when it was,
exempt toolsets that are both default-off and platform-restricted to the
current platform from the strip. Only discord/discord_admin are affected
(the sole entries in both _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS and
_TOOLSET_PLATFORM_RESTRICTIONS). Unconfigured and empty-list platforms
keep the security default-off behaviour.
/api/status (loopback/insecure binds only) now includes:
- profiles: every profile on the host (default + named)
- gateway_mode: none | single | multiple | multiplex
- gateways: one entry per live gateway with the host ports its
port-binding platforms listen on, plus served_profiles when the
default gateway is multiplexing
Ports resolve from each profile's config.yaml (top-level platforms:
wins over gateway.platforms:, matching load_gateway_config precedence)
with adapter defaults as fallback. Topology enumeration runs in an
executor so the profile scan + process-table probes stay off the event
loop, and the whole block is gated behind the same loopback-only split
as hermes_home/gateway_pid so gated binds leak nothing new.
Keep-alive path when ?attach=<token> is present: PTY outlives the socket
via PTY_REGISTRY, reattaches on reconnect. No token = unchanged legacy
pump (_legacy_pump). detach (not close) on disconnect.

* feat(trace): upload sessions to HF Agent Trace Viewer
Salvage trace upload as a smaller CLI-first feature: deterministic Claude Code JSONL export, fail-closed redaction, lazy Hugging Face dependency, and no gateway slash-command wiring.
* chore(trace): drop external porting references from docstrings
Describe the trace-upload design in Hermes' own terms.
* feat(sessions): fold trace upload into 'sessions export --format trace'
Integrates the HF Agent Trace Viewer exporter (PR #36145) onto the
unified export surface instead of a separate 'hermes trace' subcommand:
- --format trace: Claude Code JSONL to stdout/file, or one
<id>.trace.jsonl per session for filtered bulk export; defaults to
the most recent session when no --session-id/filters given.
- --upload pushes to the user's private HF traces dataset (--public to
opt out of private); reads HF_TOKEN with guided setup when missing.
- traces are secret-redacted by default (force mode); --no-redact opts
out after review; redaction failure blocks export (fail closed).
- hermes_cli/trace.py + subcommands/trace.py removed; agent/trace_upload.py
is the single engine. Docs EN + zh-Hans; 4 new CLI tests.
`_save_anthropic_oauth_creds` wrote the Anthropic OAuth token file with
`os.replace(tmp, path)` followed by a post-hoc `chmod(0o600)`. Between the
rename and the chmod the token file existed at the default umask (0o644 on most
hosts) — a window in which another local user could read the access/refresh
tokens.
Write via `utils.atomic_json_write(..., mode=0o600)`, which creates the temp
with mode 0o600 *before* any content is written, fsyncs, atomically replaces,
preserves the existing file's owner, and cleans up its temp on failure. This
matches the `atomic_json_write(mode=0o600)` call already used elsewhere in this
module for the credential-pool write, and #56644's owner preservation.
Tests updated for the new mechanism, plus a check that the write goes through
`atomic_json_write(mode=0o600)` (mutation-verified).
Opt-in discord.approval_mentions (config.yaml, bridged to
DISCORD_APPROVAL_MENTIONS) prepends <@id> mentions for numeric
allowlist entries to exec-approval prompts, with a scoped
AllowedMentions override (users only). Default off - no surprise
pings. Reapplied onto the content-mirror layout from #60245: mentions
prepend to the visible content block and its truncation budget.
Original implementation from PR #39719; commits arrived bot-authored,
re-attributed to the contributor.
Salvage follow-up integrating PR #30481 (@simplast) and PR #57683
(@catbearlove1-lang) into the unified export surface:
- --format html: standalone self-contained HTML transcript (single
session or multi-session with sidebar), works with all shared filters
and --redact; requires a file output path.
- --only user-prompts: prompt-only export (jsonl records or md sections)
via the shared session_export renderer; the separate export-prompts
subcommand from the original PR is subsumed by this flag.
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for both contributors; docs EN + zh-Hans.
Implements a professional, standalone HTML export feature for Hermes sessions.
Key changes:
- Adds 'hermes sessions export <file>.html' support to the CLI.
- Implements a dark-mode-first, responsive HTML generator in 'hermes_cli/session_export_html.py'.
- Single session export features a focused, centered 90% width layout.
- Multi-session export adds a fixed sidebar with session switching and real-time search filtering.
- ZERO external dependencies; all styles and JS are embedded for offline portability.
- export now shares _add_session_filter_args / build_prune_filters with
prune/archive: AGE grammar (5h/2d/1w/ISO) on --older-than plus the full
filter set (--model, --provider, --min-messages, --min-cost, --branch,
--chat-id, ...) for both JSONL and md/qmd bulk exports; --dry-run works
on JSONL too; removes the one-off list_export_candidates helper.
- new --redact flag runs exported message content and tool output through
force-mode secret redaction (agent.redact) for jsonl, md, and qmd.
- docs EN + zh-Hans updated; new tests for AGE grammar, extended filters,
filtered JSONL, and redaction.
Replaces the parallel export-md subcommand from the salvaged commit with
a --format jsonl|md|qmd flag on the existing export subcommand, so all
session export formats share one surface. Adds AUTHOR_MAP entry.
Salvage follow-up for PR #59542 by @web3blind.
Sessions no longer auto-reset by default. SessionResetPolicy.mode now
defaults to "none" (was "both": 24h idle + daily 4am), matching the
setup wizard's existing no-reset default and community feedback that
surprise context loss hurts more than it helps.
- gateway/config.py: dataclass default + from_dict fallback -> "none";
installs whose config.yaml lacks a session_reset section stop
auto-resetting
- hermes_cli/setup.py: "Never auto-reset" is now the recommended/default
choice in hermes setup agent; stale comment updated
- docs (en + zh-Hans): default is no auto-reset, opt in via
session_reset in config.yaml
Users who explicitly configured idle/daily/both resets keep them.
Replace the hand-rolled ensurepip bootstrap (and five other one-off
pip-install code paths) with hermes_cli.tools_config._pip_install, which
prefers the bundled uv (fast, needs no pip in the venv), falls back to
python -m pip, and bootstraps pip via ensurepip only when missing.
Sites unified:
- hermes_cli/setup.py: _install_neutts_deps, _install_kittentts_deps,
modal SDK install, daytona SDK install
- hermes_cli/memory_setup.py: memory-plugin pip deps (previously dead-ended
when uv AND pip binaries were both absent)
- hermes_cli/dingtalk_auth.py: qrcode auto-install (previously invoked
'python -m uv' which is not how uv ships)
- agent/lsp/install.py: --target LSP server installs
- plugins/google_meet/cli.py, plugins/platforms/matrix/adapter.py,
plugins/platforms/google_chat/oauth.py, plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py
Tests updated to assert the ladder behavior (uv-first, pip fallback,
ensurepip bootstrap) instead of the removed bespoke branches.
* fix(dashboard): use loopback host for in-container WebSocket client (#58993)
Fixes#58993 - the in-container Dashboard's WebSocket client was dialing
the bind host (0.0.0.0) instead of 127.0.0.1, hijacking the host browser
when the container port was exposed.
* `hermes_cli/web_server.py::resolve_dashboard_ws_url()` now substitutes
127.0.0.1 for any 0.0.0.0 bind host discovered via the existing
`find_unused_port` / `get_listen_address` path. LAN IPs and explicit
`DASHBOARD_WS_HOST` overrides pass through unchanged.
* Existing tests preserved (no regression on the explicit-bind case).
Tests in `tests/dashboard/test_ws_client_host.py` cover:
- Bind host 0.0.0.0 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1
- Bind host 127.0.0.1 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1 (no regression)
- Bind host 192.168.1.5 → ws URL preserves the LAN IP
- DASHBOARD_WS_HOST env override wins over auto-detection

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

A hosted agent whose Nous bootstrap session dies terminally (invalid_grant /
quarantine) looks HEALTHY to every liveness/connectivity probe — the machine,
relay ws, and dashboard all stay up — yet every inference turn hard-fails with
a provider-auth error until a human re-logs-in. Nothing currently surfaces that
condition to NAS.
Add get_nous_session_validity() (valid|terminal|unknown), classified from local
auth-store state (no working token required), and report it on the public
/api/status payload. NAS's 2-min health sweep reads it and re-mints the
bootstrap session in place on 'terminal'.
Anti-flap: only a terminal failure (relogin_required / persisted quarantine
marker with tokens cleared) maps to 'terminal'; transient/mid-rotation blips and
merely-expiring tokens report 'unknown' so a healthy box never triggers a
spurious re-mint.
Part of the hosted-agent bootstrap-session self-heal (NAS side reads this field).
A NAS-hosted Fly agent's Nous bootstrap session can take a terminal
invalid_grant and get quarantined in _quarantine_nous_oauth_state, which
clears the dead tokens from auth.json. Until now this quarantine was
completely silent: the only signal was a downstream "No access token found"
WARNING once the credential pool was already empty, which is too late to
root-cause. Because the Fly log drain is WARNING-only, nothing about the
terminal death reached centralized logging, and a real incident could not be
diagnosed because the evidence was never recorded.
Emit a WARNING+ forensic record AT the quarantine point, before the token
material is cleared. Fields: refresh_token hash prefix (12-char SHA-256 hex,
correlates to NAS's refreshTokenHash), client_id, agent_key_id, error code,
reason, auth.json path/size/mtime/exists, and whether the token was already
past its own expiry. WARNING level is deliberate — INFO never reaches the Fly
drain.
Redaction safety (load-bearing): the log dict is built only from computed
values (hash prefix, sizes, booleans). No raw refresh_token, access_token, or
agent_key bytes are ever passed into the log call, avoiding Hermes's known
credential-literal corruption bug class. A test asserts the raw refresh token
substring is absent from all emitted log output.
Note: no session_id field exists on Nous auth state; provenance is captured
via client_id + agent_key_id, which are non-secret routing identifiers.
The ChatGPT Codex OAuth backend caps both gpt-5.4 and gpt-5.5 at a 272K
context window, but the autoraise that lifts the compaction trigger to 85%
only matched gpt-5.5. On gpt-5.4 the global 50% threshold fired at ~136K —
half the usable window — compacting far earlier than necessary.
Rename _is_codex_gpt55 -> _is_codex_gpt54_or_gpt55 and match both families.
The one-time user notice is now model-aware (shows the actual slug). The
config key codex_gpt55_autoraise is kept as-is for backward compatibility.
Adds gpt-5.4 coverage to the autoraise tests.
Surfaces the usage_report()/provenance() data layer added in #36701 as a
user-facing CLI command. Unlike `hermes curator status` (scoped to
curator-managed agent-created candidates), `usage` lists every skill on disk
— bundled built-ins and hub-installed included — with per-skill use/view/patch
counts and an agent/bundled/hub provenance tag.
Flags: --sort {activity,recent,name}, --provenance {agent,bundled,hub} filter,
--json for machine-readable output.
* feat(oneshot): add --usage-file JSON usage report to hermes -z
Pipelines driving hermes -z (batch reviewers, cron scripts, eval
harnesses) had no way to account for per-invocation spend: the agent
computes estimated_cost_usd and full token counts internally, but
oneshot mode discards everything except the final response text.
- hermes -z PROMPT --usage-file PATH writes a JSON report after the
run: estimated_cost_usd, cost_status/source, input/output/cache/
reasoning/total tokens, api_calls, model, provider, session_id,
completed, failed.
- Written even when the run fails (with a failure field) so callers
can always account for spend; the write itself is best-effort and
never masks the run's own outcome.
- Flag registered in both the full parser and the Termux fast path;
added to both value-flag scan sets so profile detection stays
correct.
Validation: 6 unit tests + live E2E (real -z run produced a report
with real OpenRouter cost + token counts).
* test: include usage_file kwarg in oneshot dispatch assertions
The two dispatch tests assert the exact kwargs dict passed to
run_oneshot; the new usage_file kwarg must appear there.
The 1Password secret source resolves op:// references using
OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN read from os.environ. Under systemd the gateway
gets that token via EnvironmentFile, but cron jobs, subprocesses, CLI
runs, macOS launchd, and Docker containers spawn fresh interpreters with
no inherited shell state — so they silently failed to resolve any
reference and fell back to empty strings.
Two patches close the gap, matching Bitwarden's reliability guarantees:
1. env_loader: auto-load ~/.hermes/.op.env after .env so the gitignored
bootstrap token is available everywhere. override=False plus an
explicit guard ensure it never clobbers a token already in env (e.g.
from a systemd EnvironmentFile, which keeps precedence).
2. credential_pool: _get_env_prefer_dotenv() now prefers the resolved
value in os.environ when .env still holds a raw op:// reference,
instead of handing a URL to provider auth. Non-op:// values keep the
existing .env-takes-precedence behaviour.
Also gitignore .op.env, document the three bootstrap-token options, and
add tests covering auto-load, no-override, and the resolved-vs-raw
precedence (plus regression guards).

Resolve provider credentials from 1Password op://vault/item/field references
at startup via the official `op` CLI, alongside the existing Bitwarden source.
Users map env-var names to references in secrets.onepassword.env; after .env
loads, each is resolved with `op read` and injected into os.environ. Auth is
whatever `op` already uses (service-account token or desktop/interactive
session) — Hermes never authenticates or installs `op` itself.
Startup-safe and fail-open: a missing binary, expired auth, a bad reference,
or an empty value each warn and fall back to existing credentials, never
blocking startup. Successful, complete pulls are cached in-process and on disk
(<hermes_home>/cache/op_cache.json, 0600) via the shared DiskCache; only
secret values are stored, never the token (auth is fingerprinted into the
key). Adds `hermes secrets onepassword {setup,status,set,remove,sync,disable}`
(aliases op/1password), config defaults, the cli-config example, docs, and
hermetic tests.
Hardening applied across both backends in env_loader: each source runs in its
own guard, config sections are coerced to dict, and cache_ttl_seconds is
coerced defensively — so a malformed secrets: section can't abort startup.

When a bundled web provider (firecrawl, tavily, exa, ...) is listed in
plugins.disabled, its provider never registers and the web_search/
web_extract dispatchers emitted the misleading "No web extract provider
configured. Set web.extract_backend to ..." — even though the backend was
configured correctly. The real fix is to re-enable the plugin.
- web_tools.py + web_search_registry.py: when the configured backend names
a disabled bundled web plugin, both dispatchers now point the user at the
actual cause (re-enable the plugin) instead of a wrong config hint.
- plugins_cmd.py cmd_enable: enabling by canonical key now also clears the
manifest-name alias (web-firecrawl) from plugins.disabled, so the
suggested command actually re-enables the plugin ('explicit disable wins'
matches on the name too).
- plugins_cmd.py cmd_toggle / _run_composite_ui / _run_composite_fallback:
the interactive 'hermes plugins' menu now persists the canonical key
(web/firecrawl), never the bare manifest name — the drift that put the
offending entry in plugins.disabled in the first place.
Follow-up to #59518 (which fixed web credential resolution, a different
cause). Fixes the disabled-plugin symptom reported after that PR.
Server names with non-env-safe characters (dots, slashes, spaces)
produced invalid env-var keys like MCP_MY.SERVER_API_KEY or
MCP_GITHUB/MCP_API_KEY, breaking .env writes and ${VAR} header
substitution. _env_key_for_server now replaces any character outside
[A-Za-z0-9_] with an underscore.

Allow mainstream reverse-proxy path mounts to keep their X-Forwarded-Prefix when Home Assistant Supervisor ingress already consumes nearly the old 64-character budget. Keep validation bounded and keep rejected non-empty prefixes diagnosable with a deduplicated warning.
Constraint: HA Supervisor ingress prefixes are 63 chars before add-on subpaths, so the old 64-char cap dropped valid dashboard deployments.
Rejected: remove the length cap entirely | a bounded header budget is still a conservative validation guard.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep prefix validation centralized in hermes_cli.dashboard_auth.prefix so auth routes, cookies, and SPA asset rewriting agree.
Tested: python probe for the 73-char HA ingress prefix; scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_dashboard_auth_prefix.py -q; .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py -k 'spa_assets_are_read_as_utf8' -q; python -m ruff check hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/prefix.py tests/hermes_cli/test_dashboard_auth_prefix.py; git diff --check
Not-tested: full test suite
Follow-up to #59332 targeting the remaining PERCEIVED first-token latency
(the wire streaming was already per-token; these fix what the user sees):
1. display.show_reasoning default ON. On thinking models the reasoning
phase streams for tens of seconds; with the display off users stare
at a spinner the whole time and read it as a stall. Flipped in
DEFAULT_CONFIG, load_cli_config defaults, tui_gateway raw-YAML
fallbacks, and the hermes setup status line (all four read sites kept
in sync). Gateway per-platform defaults intentionally stay off —
messaging chats shouldn't fill with thinking text. /reasoning hide
still turns it off and persists.
2. Response box force-flushes long partial lines. _emit_stream_text only
painted on newline, so a response opening with a long paragraph
stayed invisible until the first \n — seconds of blank box. Now
partial lines wrap at terminal width and paint as tokens arrive
(mirrors the reasoning box's 80-char force-flush that existed since
day one). Table blocks remain batch-aligned; no content loss at wrap
boundaries (regression tests added).
3. hermes_time timezone resolution uses read_raw_config (mtime-cached +
libyaml C loader) instead of a raw yaml.safe_load of config.yaml
(~110-140ms measured) inside the FIRST system prompt build. First
build drops 320ms -> ~155ms on a 200-skill install.
4. Stale docs: configuration.md (en+zh) still documented the 70%/90%
[BUDGET WARNING] tool-result injections. Those were removed in April
2026 (c8aff7463) precisely because they hurt task completion; current
behavior is exhaustion-message + one grace call, no mid-loop
injection, no cache impact. Docs now describe reality.
Verified: token-count compression decisions already use API-reported
last_prompt_tokens (rough estimators are preflight-only and cost ~1.7ms
even on 1.7MB histories — not worth touching).
Bare 'hermes sessions prune' keeps the historical 90-day default, but any
filter — now including --source — suppresses the implicit cutoff, so
'prune --source cron' targets ALL cron sessions instead of silently only
those older than 90 days (the surprise a user hit live: 'No sessions
match ... source cron' despite plenty of recent cron runs).
- CLI preview + confirmation now show the match count plus the oldest
and newest matching session start times before deleting.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune mirrors the semantics: attribute filters
without an explicit older_than_days match all ages (model_fields_set
distinguishes an explicit 90 from the Pydantic default); dry_run
responses gain oldest_started_at/newest_started_at.
- Docs + argparse help updated; tests for both surfaces.
* feat(sessions): full filter surface for prune + new bulk archive subcommand
hermes sessions prune previously only supported --older-than N (integer
days) and --source — no way to target a window like 'the last 5 hours'
(e.g. a batch of CI smoke-test sessions), and no non-destructive option.
- SessionDB.prune_sessions gains keyword filters that AND together:
started_before/started_after epoch bounds, title_like, end_reason,
cwd_prefix, min/max_messages, archived tri-state. Default call is
byte-for-byte compatible (90-day cutoff, ended-only, source).
- New SessionDB.list_prune_candidates (backs --dry-run + confirmation
previews) and SessionDB.archive_sessions (bulk soft-hide via the
existing set_session_archived lineage-aware path; nothing deleted).
- CLI: prune gains --newer-than/--before/--after (durations like 5h/2d/1w,
bare days, or ISO timestamps), --title, --end-reason, --cwd,
--min/--max-messages, --include-archived, --dry-run. New
'hermes sessions archive' takes the same filters, requires at least one,
and is idempotent. Both show a preview before confirming.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune accepts the same filters + dry_run.
- Docs: sessions.md + cli-commands.md updated.
Filter parsing lives in hermes_cli/session_filters.py with unit tests;
DB filters covered in tests/test_hermes_state.py.
* feat(sessions): prune/archive filters for model, provider, user, chat, branch, tokens, cost, tool calls
Extends the prune/archive filter surface to everything identifiable in
the sessions table:
- --model (substring on model slug), --provider (exact on
billing_provider, case-insensitive), --user, --chat-id, --chat-type
(exact), --branch (substring on git_branch), --min/--max-tokens
(input+output), --min/--max-cost (USD, actual_cost_usd falling back to
estimated_cost_usd), --min/--max-tool-calls.
- SessionDB prune/archive/list_prune_candidates now share the filter
kwargs via **filters into _prune_filter_where (unknown names raise
TypeError); candidates listing + CLI preview now include the model.
- Any attribute filter (except legacy --source) suppresses the implicit
90-day default so 'prune --model X' matches all ages.
- Dashboard /api/sessions/prune passes the new fields through.
- Docs + tests updated (7 new DB tests, 3 new parser tests).
Follow-up to #9006/#58899. The gateway routing index (session_key ->
SessionEntry) now lives in a new gateway_routing table in state.db as the
primary store; sessions.json is demoted to an optional legacy mirror.
- hermes_state.py: schema v19 — gateway_routing table (scope + session_key
PK; scope = resolved sessions_dir so multiple stores sharing one state.db
never cross-contaminate) with save/replace/load/delete methods
- gateway/session.py: _save() writes the whole index atomically to the DB
(mirrors the old full-file JSON rewrite semantics) and only falls back to
JSON when the DB write fails; _ensure_loaded reads the DB first and folds
in legacy sessions.json entries for keys the DB lacks (pre-migration
import; DB entries win over stale JSON)
- gateway/config.py + hermes_cli/config.py: new write_sessions_json flag
(default true for compat/downgrade safety); gateway.write_sessions_json:
false stops producing the file entirely
- sessions.json _README updated to say it's a legacy mirror + how to
disable it
Rehydration is now lossless across restarts even with sessions.json deleted:
suspended/resume_pending/model_override/token state all round-trip through
the DB (the old sessions-table recovery only rebuilt the bare key mapping).
The `hermes prompt-size` command now uses `_get_platform_tools()` to resolve
platform-specific toolsets the same way the gateway does, and also honors
`agent.disabled_toolsets` from config. This fixes the discrepancy where
`prompt-size` reported more tools than actually available in real sessions
for a given platform.
Fixes#41445.
Raise the CLI login floor from 180s to 315s (OAuth callback window 300s
+ headroom, matching web_server's existing constant), and let the GUI
re-auth path honor a configured connect_timeout larger than 315s.
Persists as the server's connect_timeout in config, which the probe
now honors. CLI-flag portion of PR #54494; the probe-wrapper portion
was superseded by resolving connect_timeout inside _probe_single_server.
_reauth_oauth_server (hermes mcp login / reauth) called
_probe_single_server without a timeout, so it always used the 30s
probe default — far too short for a human browser OAuth round-trip
(open → sign in → consent → loopback redirect). The server-level
connect_timeout in config.yaml was silently ignored, so login timed
out at ~40s no matter what the user configured.
Pass the server's configured connect_timeout through, with a 180s
floor for the interactive login path. Update the two TestMcpLogin
probe mocks for the new kwarg and assert the login path propagates a
>=180s timeout.
Blank Slate's _blank_slate_minimal_toolsets() adds every TOOLSETS entry
to agent.disabled_toolsets except file and terminal. The coding
posture toolset (session-level, selected by agent/coding_context.py)
slips through because the loop only skips hermes-* composites and
includes-only groups.
At runtime, model_tools.get_tool_definitions() resolves coding and
subtracts its tools — terminal, read_file, write_file, patch,
search_files, process — erasing the entire Blank Slate minimal surface.
The agent ends up with only cronjob.
Skip posture toolsets in the disabled-list computation. Posture
toolsets are not user-facing capabilities to disable; they are
per-session selections that should never appear in agent.disabled_toolsets.
Fixes#57315
The "Test server" probe (`_probe_single_server`, used by the Desktop/dashboard
MCP tab, `hermes mcp add`, and `hermes mcp test`) called `prompts/list` and
`resources/list` on every server unconditionally whenever `details` was
requested. This ignored the user's `tools.prompts` / `tools.resources` config
and the server's own advertised capabilities.
Servers that don't implement those optional families (e.g. Unreal Engine's MCP
server, which answers `Call to unknown method "prompts/list"`) therefore logged
a hard error during discovery, and setting `tools.prompts: false` — the
documented workaround — had no effect because the probe never consulted it.
Mirror the runtime gating in `tools.mcp_tool._select_utility_schemas`: only
probe a family when it is enabled in config AND advertised in the server's
`initialize` capabilities. Falls back to the previous always-try behaviour when
no capability info was captured.
Adds approvals.deny to config.yaml — a list of fnmatch globs matched
against terminal commands. A match blocks unconditionally, BEFORE the
--yolo / /yolo / approvals.mode=off bypass, making it the user-editable
counterpart to the code-shipped hardline blocklist.
- Checked in both command gates (check_dangerous_command and
check_all_command_guards), after the hardline floor and sudo-stdin
guard, before the yolo bypass and permanent allowlist.
- Matching runs over the same normalized/deobfuscated command variants
as the dangerous-pattern detector, case-insensitive.
- Opt-in: empty/absent list is a no-op; behavior unchanged.
Supersedes the trust-engine approach from #21500 with a minimal
config-native design: the only capability the existing stack lacked
was deny-that-beats-yolo. Allow already exists (command_allowlist),
ask already exists (session approvals).
Sibling sweep from the #58902 raft review found aiohttp servers still
running on the implicit 1 MiB default with no explicit body cap:
- bluebubbles webhook (127.0.0.1): 1 MiB explicit cap — events are small
JSON/form payloads; attachments arrive via the REST API
- teams Bot Framework listener (0.0.0.0 bind — most exposed): 1 MiB cap;
activities are JSON well under that
- hermes proxy server: 10 MB cap mirroring api_server's MAX_REQUEST_BYTES
(chat-completion payloads can be large, but must stay bounded)
client_max_size bounds every read path including chunked transfer-encoding
requests that carry no Content-Length (#58536/#58902 pattern).
Deliberately excluded: feishu, whatsapp_cloud, sms, line, wecom, msgraph —
open contributor PRs (#54938, #54944, #54620, #54931, #54934, #25296)
already cover those; reviewing them separately preserves their credit.
3 regression tests pin the wiring.
Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#2713: expose Hermes' existing Docker network isolation primitive through terminal config so operators can opt out of container egress.
The load_config() cache is keyed on config file mtime/size only, so a
load_config() that runs before load_hermes_dotenv() populates the process
environment caches the unexpanded ${VAR} literal and serves it for the
life of the process — auxiliary.<task>.api_key/base_url env refs reach the
provider client verbatim (auth failure / silent fallback), while
providers.* appear to work because provider credential resolution re-reads
the environment at call time.
Record a snapshot of every ${VAR} name referenced in the raw config
(user + managed) with its os.environ value at expansion time, and treat
the cache as stale when any of those values change. Covers both the late
.env load and in-process key rotation; an unchanged environment still
takes the cache-hit path.
Fixes#58514
Moves gateway routing metadata (display_name, origin_json, expiry_finalized)
into state.db, making SQLite the single source of truth for gateway session
discovery. Eliminates the dual-file (sessions.json + state.db) polling
dependency that caused the mcp_serve new-conversation race (#8925).
- hermes_state.py: schema v18 (3 new sessions columns + sessions.json
backfill migration), record_gateway_session_peer gains
display_name/origin_json, new set_expiry_finalized(),
list_gateway_sessions(), find_session_by_origin()
- gateway/session.py: peer recorder persists display_name + full origin
JSON; new SessionStore.set_expiry_finalized() single write-path
- gateway/run.py: expiry watcher success + give-up paths use the store
helper so the flag lands in both sessions.json and state.db
- mcp_serve.py: routing index reads state.db first (sessions.json fallback
for pre-migration DBs); _poll_once collapses to a single state.db mtime
check — the #8925 race is structurally impossible now
- gateway/mirror.py, gateway/channel_directory.py, hermes_cli/status.py:
query state.db first, sessions.json fallback
Closes#9006
ruff check --fix --select F541 . on current main. Pure prefix removals;
adjacent-string concatenations keep the f only on interpolating fragments.
No string content or live placeholder altered.
Phase-2 review follow-ups on the unreadable-config chokepoint work:
- hermes_cli/xai_retirement.py apply_migration() is a full-file config.yaml
rewriter (ruamel round-trip + plain open("w")) that lives outside the
atomic_yaml_write path, so the chokepoint didn't cover it. It reads the
file first (which already fails closed on an unreadable file), but add
require_readable_config_before_write() right before the write as a
backstop for the read-then-write window, and a regression test asserting
the original bytes survive an unreadable config.
- Drop the unnecessary "Path" string quotes on atomic_config_write's
annotation — Path is imported eagerly at module top, no forward ref needed.
auth.py _update_config_for_provider / _reset_config_provider intentionally
keep their standalone require_readable_config_before_write guard + bare
atomic_yaml_write: the guard must fire BEFORE the read (fail-fast) at those
read-then-write sites, and a test pins the atomic_yaml_write call. Both are
already fully guarded against the bug; routing them through the wrapper
would move the check to write time for no benefit.
The unreadable-config-overwrite bug (an existing config.yaml that reads as
{} on a permission/IO error gets replaced with only defaults or the edited
section) is not limited to save_config / config set / auth. The same
read-then-atomic_yaml_write pattern lives at ~7 other independent write
sites that don't route through those functions:
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _save_config_key, memory/skills write_approval
toggles, tool_progress toggle, runtime_footer toggle, personality set
- hermes_cli/doctor.py --fix (stale root-key migration)
- gateway/platforms/yuanbao.py auto-sethome
- plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py topic thread_id persistence
- tui_gateway/server.py _save_cfg
- agent/onboarding.py mark_seen
Rather than sprinkle require_readable_config_before_write() at each site,
add a single fail-closed chokepoint, atomic_config_write(), that runs the
guard then delegates to atomic_yaml_write, and route every config.yaml
write through it. Root cause remains that read_raw_config() can't tell an
absent file from an unreadable one (returns {} for both) — read-only
callers correctly stay fail-open, but any full-file replacement now fails
closed in one enforced place instead of relying on each caller to remember
the guard.
save_config / set_config_value / auth keep the contributor's original
guard calls (their commit); this commit widens the fix to the sibling
call paths and adds a regression test on the chokepoint (fails closed on
unreadable existing file + still creates a genuinely absent file).
Replaces the POSIX `/bin/bash -c "$(curl …)"` invocation with a
download-then-exec flow: curl the upstream install.sh into a mkstemp
temp file (unpredictable name, 0600) and run it as a plain argv list.
No shell=True, no command substitution. The temp script is removed in
a finally block; download failures return cleanly without exec.
Salvages the intent of #34974 by @ErnestHysa. His original patch
targeted a fixed /tmp/cua-driver-install.sh path (symlink/TOCTOU-prone
on multi-user hosts) and predates Windows/Linux installer support;
this version uses mkstemp and keeps the powershell path untouched.

Follow-up to #57987: after /skill-a the completer previously went silent
for a second /skill token. Now, while the leading tokens form an unbroken
skill chain (each token a distinct installed skill, under the 5-cap) and
the word under the cursor starts with '/', the completer keeps offering
the remaining skill commands, and SlashCommandAutoSuggest ghost-suggests
the rest of the next skill name. Instruction text, path-like tokens, and
broken chains get no suggestions. The TUI's complete.slash RPC reuses
SlashCommandCompleter, so it inherits the behavior with no changes.
* fix(cli): unwedge cua-driver installer timeouts — group-kill on timeout, stale-lock pre-clear, 660s ceiling
The cua-driver refresh in hermes update could wedge permanently:
subprocess timeout (300s) killed only the outer shell, orphaning the
curl|bash grandchildren and the upstream installer's concurrent-install
lock (~/.cua-driver/packages/.install.lock.d). The installer only
reclaims a stale lock after 600s of waiting — longer than our old
ceiling — so every subsequent run was killed before recovery could
fire: 'always times out'.
- Run the installer in its own process group (start_new_session) and
SIGKILL the whole group on timeout, so no lock-holding orphans survive.
- Pre-clear a provably-stale lock (dead holder pid, or pid-less and
older than the upstream 600s window) before invoking the installer.
- Raise the ceiling to 660s (> upstream LOCK_STALE_AFTER_SECONDS=600).
- Timeout message now names the lock path and the manual re-run command.
Fixes#58762
* chore: suppress windows-footgun lint on platform-gated kill calls
Both sites are POSIX-only: _clear_stale_cua_install_lock early-returns
on win32, and os.killpg sits in the 'not is_windows' branch.
* feat(approvals): /deny <reason> relays denial reason to the agent
Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#2832 (reject with reason).
Gateway /deny now accepts an optional trailing reason (/deny <reason>
or /deny all <reason>). The reason rides on the per-session approval
entry through resolve_gateway_approval -> _await_gateway_decision and is
appended to the BLOCKED tool result the agent receives, so a declined
agent can adapt instead of only hearing 'denied'.
Adapted to hermes-agent's synchronous single-command /deny model: no DB
state, no second-message capture step, no migration. Reason is capped at
280 chars and threaded through both the terminal-command guard and the
execute_code guard. Plain /deny and the approve paths are unchanged.
- tools/approval.py: _ApprovalEntry.reason; resolve_gateway_approval gains
optional reason; _await_gateway_decision returns it; both gateway BLOCKED
messages include it
- gateway/slash_commands.py: parse leading 'all' + trailing reason
- locales/en.yaml: deny.denied_reason_{singular,plural}
- hermes_cli/commands.py: /deny args_hint '[all] [reason]'
- tests: 3 new (with-reason, all+reason, plain-deny regression)
* fix(ci): localize deny-reason keys across all locales + update interrupt-path assertions
CI surfaced two enforced invariants broken by the deny-with-reason change:
- test_i18n catalog-parity requires every locale to carry the same keys as
en.yaml with matching placeholders. Added deny.denied_reason_singular/plural
(with {count}/{reason}) to all 15 non-English locales.
- test_approval_interrupt asserts the exact dict from _await_gateway_decision,
which now carries a 'reason' key (None on the interrupt/timeout paths).
UV's bundled Python ships a minimal PATH that excludes /bin and /usr/bin,
causing launchctl/systemctl subprocess calls to fail with FileNotFoundError.
Fixes#3849
Widens the symlinks=True fix to the create_profile clone sites so a
symlink pointing at a parent directory can't recurse infinitely during
'hermes profile create <name> --clone-all' (#11560). Export paths were
covered by the salvaged #58397/#58445 commits; this carries the clone
half of open PR #11573.
Fixes#11560
`hermes profile export default` crashed with `shutil.Error` when
HERMES_HOME pointed outside ~/.hermes (common in Docker deployments)
and the workspace contained broken symlinks. Two root causes:
1. `copytree` defaults to `symlinks=False` and follows link targets;
broken ones crash. #58397 (liuhao1024) drafted a minimal
`symlinks=True` flag fix; this PR adopts that change.
2. `copytree` was invoked against the entire HERMES_HOME root (which
doubles as cwd in Docker layouts). The post-hoc blacklist at
`_DEFAULT_EXPORT_EXCLUDE_ROOT` is a fixed-length enumerate-and-pray
list that can't anticipate every unrelated sibling directory
(`x11-dev/`, etc.). Replaced with a positive allow-list at
`_DEFAULT_EXPORT_INCLUDE_ROOT` enumerating the known Hermes profile
artifacts (config, persona, skills, cron, scripts, sessions,
plugins, memories, knowledge, preferences). Sensitive runtime
surfaces (`state.db`, `logs/`, auth files, other profiles) are
intentionally not in the allow-list so the export stays a
portable, credential-free snapshot of the user-facing surface —
which means the existing `test_export_default_excludes_infrastructure`
regressions remain green.
Adds two regression tests:
* test_export_default_uses_allowlist_for_unrelated_dirs — >x11-dev<
sibling directories must not leak into the archive.
* test_export_default_handles_broken_symlinks — symlinks inside
allowed artifacts survive instead of crashing the export.
closing that PR as superseded once this lands.
Closes#58394
shutil.copytree() defaults to symlinks=False which follows symlinks and
crashes on broken ones. In Docker/custom HERMES_HOME deployments,
unrelated directories may contain stale symlinks that break export.
Add symlinks=True to both copytree() calls in export_profile() so
broken symlinks are preserved as symlink entries in the archive.
Fixes#58394
* fix(cli): set correct x-initiator header per Copilot turn
copilot_default_headers() always hardcoded x-initiator: agent, but
GitHub Copilot billing requires "user" for user-initiated prompts and
"agent" for tool/follow-up calls. This caused premium requests to never
be consumed correctly, risking billing issues or account bans.
Adds is_agent_turn param to copilot_default_headers() and injects
extra_headers={"x-initiator": "user"} on the first API call of each
user turn when targeting Copilot URLs. The flag flips to False after
injection so subsequent calls (tool use, streaming fallback) default
back to "agent".

Extend the pre_tool_call plugin hook return contract with a new directive:
{"action": "approve", "message": "why this needs human confirmation"}
Previously a pre_tool_call hook could only veto a tool call (action: block)
or allow it silently. It could not escalate to the existing human-approval
flow. This unlocks user-defined runtime approval rules on ANY tool (HTTP
writes, file writes to sensitive paths, email sends), enforced at runtime —
resolving #51221 as a pure plugin, with no core approval.py rule schema.
Mechanism:
- get_pre_tool_call_directive() returns (action, message) for block|approve;
get_pre_tool_call_block_message() kept as a block-only back-compat shim.
- resolve_pre_tool_block() is the single dispatch-site chokepoint: fetches
the directive and, for approve, invokes the human gate; fail-closed to a
block on denial, timeout, or gate exception. ALL FOUR tool-dispatch sites
now call it: tool_executor (concurrent + sequential), agent_runtime_helpers,
and model_tools.handle_function_call.
- request_tool_approval() escalates via the SAME machinery as Tier-2
dangerous commands: session/permanent allowlist, prompt_dangerous_approval
(CLI) / submit_pending (gateway), [o]nce/[s]ession/[a]lways/[d]eny,
timeout fail-closed, approvals.cron_mode for cron contexts.
Architecture: extracted the shared decision core into _run_approval_gate(),
called by BOTH check_dangerous_command() and request_tool_approval() so the
fail-closed / cron / gateway / yolo / persist policy lives in ONE place and
cannot drift. Fixed a latent divergence — the plugin path now honors --yolo.
Approval grain: [a]lways is keyed on tool_name + a hash of the reason (an
explicit plugin rule_key overrides), so distinct reasons on the same tool
persist independently instead of one 'always' blanketing the whole tool.
Non-interactive: cron honors approvals.cron_mode (parity with commands); any
other non-interactive non-gateway context fails CLOSED for the plugin path
(the command path keeps its historical fail-open default, unchanged).
No new config schema, no new env vars, no new hook events.
_normalize_custom_provider_entry() runs on every load_picker_context()
call (per picker/inventory request) and warned each time for (a) the
redundant `provider` key that Hermes' own config writer emits into
provider entries and (b) any other unknown key. On Windows the serve
launcher+worker pair share one rotating log via concurrent-log-handler's
cross-process lock, so that per-load warning volume drove 'Cannot acquire
lock after 20 attempts' retries that pegged a core, stalled the event
loop ~14s, and dropped every desktop/TUI WebSocket while /health stayed
green (gateway looked down; dashboard looked fine).
- Accept `provider` as a known key (silently ignored) so self-written
legacy configs don't warn.
- Deduplicate the normalizer's warnings per (provider, signature) so a
static config quirk is surfaced once, not on every inventory load.
Adds regression tests for both.
Fixes#58265
- package-lock.json changes in #58451 were unrelated peer-flag churn
- CANONICAL_PROVIDERS 'poolside' entry from #58374 has no ProviderConfig
in hermes_cli/auth.py and no setup flow, so the picker entry would be
dead; the wire-format coercions stand on their own
Follow-up to @srojk34's basename-denylist widening. Two gaps the
basename-only guard left, both covered by the two canonical guards it
mirrors:
- Directory-tree stores mcp-tokens/ (live MCP OAuth tokens) and pairing/
are denied as whole trees by gateway.platforms.base._ROOT_CREDENTIAL_DIRS
and agent.file_safety, but the dashboard files API descends into subdirs,
so mcp-tokens/<server>.json (non-canonical basename) stayed
listable/readable/downloadable. Add _is_sensitive_path(), a path-aware
check that blocks any path with a credential-directory component, and
route all three call sites (list/read/download) through it.
- Add .git-credentials to the basename set (agent.file_safety blocks it too).
- Correct the docstring: it now says it mirrors the credential-FILE basenames
of the canonical guards, with the directory trees handled by the new
path-aware helper (the prior wording overstated parity).
Scope stays on the read/list/download exfil surface (#57505); the write
endpoints (upload/mkdir/delete) are a separate threat and out of scope.
Tests: dir-tree descent blocked (mcp-tokens/pairing per-server files),
.git-credentials blocked, plus a positive control that a benign subdir file
stays browsable. Mutation-checked (neuter _is_sensitive_path -> new tests
fail). 39 web_server_files + fs tests pass, ruff clean.
_is_sensitive_filename() only blocked .env / .env.<suffix>, but the
dashboard Files tab's managed root is operator-configurable and, per the
docker-mount scenario #57505 was filed against, can point directly at
HERMES_HOME — where the canonical credential stores enforced elsewhere
in the codebase (gateway.platforms.base._ROOT_CREDENTIAL_FILES,
agent.file_safety.get_read_block_error) all live: auth.json, OAuth
token stores, webhook HMAC secrets, the Bitwarden disk cache. None of
those basenames were blocked, so the Files tab could still list, read,
and download them. .envrc (direnv) also slipped past the old check
since it doesn't equal ".env" or start with ".env.".
Widen the basename set to mirror both existing guards so the dashboard
doesn't lag behind them.
Both wired against features the iron-proxy author (@mslipper) confirmed on
PR #30179 — and both verified present in the pinned v0.39.0 source.
Header-auth providers (match_headers):
- New _HEADER_AUTH_PROVIDERS: Anthropic native (x-api-key), Azure OpenAI
(api-key on *.openai.azure.com / *.cognitiveservices / *.services.ai),
Gemini (x-goog-api-key + ?key= query param via match_query).
- TokenMapping grows match_headers + alias_env_names; per-provider header
sets flow into the secrets rules; mappings.json roundtrips them
(legacy files load with the Authorization default).
- GEMINI_API_KEY / GOOGLE_API_KEY collapse into ONE mapping (two
require-rules on the same host would reject each other); the sandbox
gets the token under both names, and the proxy child env mirrors the
alias into the canonical name when only the alias is set.
- Docker backend injects alias env names alongside canonical ones.
- The fail-closed tier is now empty, so fail_on_uncovered_providers and
discover_blocked_providers are deleted (dead toggle otherwise);
_NON_BEARER_PROVIDERS shrinks to genuinely-unswappable signature auth
(AWS SigV4, GCP service-account OAuth) — warn-only, as before.
Management API (hot reload):
- Generated proxy.yaml enables the v0.39 management listener: loopback
only at tunnel_port+2, bearer key from HERMES_IRON_PROXY_MGMT_KEY.
- Key minted at setup (management.token, 0600); start_proxy injects it
(v0.39 refuses to start when api_key_env is empty).
- hermes egress reload -> POST /v1/reload: re-reads proxy.yaml and
atomically swaps the pipeline; 422 leaves the running ruleset
untouched; actionable errors for not-running / pre-management config /
key mismatch. Secrets changes still require restart (daemon env is
read at spawn) — the CLI says so.
Validation: 218/218 unit+CLI+docker tests; 3/3 gated live E2E against the
real v0.39.0 binary (Authorization swap, x-api-key swap, live reload with
token rotation on the same pid). Docs updated.
Gateway users can now search resumable sessions from messaging surfaces:
/sessions search <query> (alias: find) matches titles and session ids —
including every title/id in a row's forward compression chain, so a
compressed-away title still surfaces its live tip — plus a
punctuation-normalized variant so 'an94' matches 'AN-94'.
Implemented by generalizing the existing id_query chain-filter in
SessionDB.list_sessions_rich into a combined SQL-level filter (search
stays ORDER BY last-active + LIMIT at SQL level), threading a
search_query through the shared query_session_listing helper, and
teaching parse_session_listing_args to split off a search query.
Search results pass through the existing _resume_row_visible guard
unchanged: origin scoping, admin-only 'all', and the fail-closed
legacy-row posture from the July 1 hardening are preserved exactly.
Over-fetch (50) before the visibility cut so origin-invisible matches
can't starve the page.
Salvages the feature direction of PR #57595 by @GodsBoy with a minimal
implementation that keeps the resume authorization surface untouched.
Post-merge follow-ups + several review rounds + a hub-search rework, folded together.
Merge-scuff restores (a stale-base refactor had reverted two live-on-main fixes):
- gateway: SessionStore compression-tip healing + its regression test.
- desktop: messaging session/transcript polling in desktop-controller
(MESSAGING_POLL / ACTIVE_MESSAGING_SESSION_POLL, refreshMessagingSessions,
refreshActiveMessagingTranscript, the richer sameCronSignature) so inbound
platform traffic updates live again instead of freezing until manual refresh.
Profile-switch isolation (epoch/close/guard on every profile-scoped async):
- Hub store clears + in-flight runHubAction bails (and swallows the post-switch
404 instead of a phantom toast); hub preview/scan/search/sources profile-scoped.
- MCP: probe/auth epoch guards, dirty-draft reset, sidebar mutations blocked
until config resettles AND every persist re-checks the epoch post-await;
profilePending clears on config settle incl. error; logs re-key on profile.
- Model settings reload on switch and epoch-guard setModelAssignment /
saveMoaModels / API-key activation.
- Config draft resets + cancels its autosave on switch; skill editor/archive and
star-map node dialogs close on switch; openSkillEditor / star-map openEdit
discard stale fetches; tool-usage analytics loads are profile-guarded/keyed.
Correctness + UX:
- Unique per-skill action names for hub install AND uninstall; hub/catalog rows
flip only on a clean exit_code; catalog install polls the background bootstrap
to completion, reconciles the mcp.json draft (no dropped server), and fails
loudly on non-zero exit; MCP catalog query keyed by profile.
- /test reports needs-auth for anonymous auth:oauth servers; /auth snapshots +
restores tokens on a failed re-auth and clears the full 300s callback window.
- config-settings shows a retry on load failure; CodeEditor/JsonDocumentEditor
go read-only while saving so edits typed mid-save aren't dropped.
- Deep-link highlighter deletes its param only after a successful scroll.
- Restored the PageSearchShell trailing slot → Artifacts refresh button/spinner.
- /settings?tab=mcp redirect keeps server=.
Progressive hub search: fan out one query per backend-searchable source
(index-covered API sources stay unsearchable → no ~70-call GitHub re-hammer),
merge/dedupe by trust as each lands, per-source spinner overlaid on the dimmed
chip — results stream in without blocking on the slowest, no layout shift.
test(web): /api/skills list carries usage + provenance (CI contract).
Addresses two non-blocking review notes on the Hermes Console PR:
- console_engine: the four _*_summaries helpers import a subcommand module
and build a throwaway argparse tree purely to extract help summaries. The
dashboard opens a fresh HermesConsoleEngine per /api/console connection, so
every reconnect re-imported + re-parsed the whole CLI surface. The surface
is process-static, so memoize with functools.lru_cache — callers only read
the returned map.
- web_server: console commands run in a worker thread via asyncio.to_thread.
On a 60s timeout asyncio.wait_for cancels the awaitable, but Python threads
aren't preemptible, so a stuck worker keeps running and would leak into the
shared default thread pool. Route console execution through a small
dedicated bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (max_workers=4) so a leaked worker is
capped and concurrent console execution is bounded regardless of reconnects.
Follow-up on top of @shannonsands' NS-574 Hermes Console.
Five follow-ups to #57659 from post-merge review:
1. install.ps1: gateway scheduled-task re-enable now runs in a finally
(a thrown Remove-Item/uv venv failure previously stranded the user's
gateway autostart disabled), and tasks that were already disabled
before the install are no longer blindly re-enabled.
2. The venv-python holder guard is no longer bypassed by plain --force
(which the desktop bootstrap passes on every update while its lock
probe only checks hermes.exe/app.asar). New explicit --force-venv is
the escape hatch; --force keeps bypassing only the hermes.exe shim
guard.
3. _detect_venv_python_processes now also catches uv/base-interpreter
trampolines whose exe is outside the venv, via cmdline (venv path or
'-m hermes_cli.main' tied to this install root) and cwd.
4. Missing venv python is now UNHEALTHY on managed installs
(.hermes-bootstrap-complete / .update-incomplete markers) so the
repair lane runs instead of 'Already up to date!'; the repair branch
recreates the venv first when it's gone entirely. Dev checkouts keep
reporting healthy.
5. install.ps1 comment no longer claims a Startup-folder disarm the
code doesn't perform (logon-only, not a mid-install respawner).
Follow-up to #57507: .ENV / .Env.local on case-insensitive filesystem
mounts slipped past the guard. Lowercase the name before matching and
add a regression test. Addresses egilewski's open review note.
Replace the exact-filename frozenset with _is_sensitive_filename()
that matches .env plus any .env.<suffix> variant. This covers
shorthand suffixes like .env.prod that the previous enumeration
missed.
Add test_sensitive_env_suffix_variants_blocked regression test
covering .env.prod, .env.dev, .env.staging.local, and .env.ci.
Addresses review feedback from egilewski on PR #57507.
The dashboard Files tab could list, read, and download .env files
containing API keys when running with a bind-mounted Hermes home
directory (e.g. docker run -v ~/.hermes:/opt/data).
Add _SENSITIVE_FILENAMES frozenset and filter these from
list_managed_files(), read_managed_file(), and download_managed_file().
Return 403 for direct read/download attempts on sensitive files.
Fixes#57505
Root-causes the July 2026 Windows incident chain (locked _brotlicffi.pyd /
_sodium.pyd during install, then 'No module named annotated_doc' with
'hermes update' insisting 'Already up to date!'):
- hermes update: probe venv core imports even when the checkout is current;
a half-updated venv (dep sync killed mid-flight by a locked .pyd) is now
detected and repaired instead of being reported as up to date
- hermes update (Windows): after pausing gateways, refuse to mutate the venv
while other processes run from the venv interpreter (the Desktop backend
runs as python.exe so the hermes.exe shim guard never saw it); --force
keeps the old behavior
- install.ps1 venv stage: disarm gateway autostart Scheduled Tasks before
the kill sweep (they respawn the gateway inside the kill->delete window),
make the sweep a bounded loop requiring 3 clean passes, and rename-then-
delete the old venv (a rename succeeds even with mapped DLLs) with stale-
dir cleanup on the next run
- desktop updater: 'venv shim still locked after 15s' now ABORTS the update
hand-off (restarting our backend, surfacing the holder to the user)
instead of 'proceeding anyway (force)' into guaranteed venv corruption;
the unlock wait also re-kills respawned backends each poll tick
A Cursor-style MCP manager inside Capabilities, plus the backend it needs.
- Server list with brand/favicon avatars + live status dot and a capability
summary (N tools, M prompts, K resources); Servers | Catalog views.
- Catalog: one-click install of Nous-approved servers with required-env prompts.
- GUI OAuth: Authenticate opens the system browser from the TTY-less backend and
verifies a token actually lands; header/API-key servers are never pushed down
OAuth; a dirty mcp.json can't drop a freshly-persisted auth field.
- Full-width mcp.json editor (ecosystem document format) + pinned stdio/agent
LogTail; probes cached 5m and keyed by (profile, config) so revisiting never
respawns the fleet or shows a stale probe.
- Whole-map persistence (PUT /api/mcp/servers) so deletes/toggles actually stick
(the generic /api/config deep-merge could not remove keys).
- perf: MCP probe/auth no longer hold the global skills lock, so a slow stdio
spawn can't stall every other request into a 15s timeout.
- per-tool include/exclude gating (lib/mcp-tool-filter) mirroring the CLI loader.
Follow-up to the salvaged early-exit retry fix (#35617): the debug-browser
launch path was fire-and-forget (stderr to DEVNULL, no logging), so every
platform failure — Windows singleton forward to an existing instance, bad
profile dir, missing shared libraries, policy blocks — collapsed into the
same unactionable 'port 9222 isn't responding yet' message and debug
reports contained nothing.
- launch_chrome_debug() returns a structured ChromeDebugLaunch with
per-candidate attempts (state, exit code, stderr tail)
- browser stderr is captured to <hermes_home>/chrome-debug/launch-stderr.log
- clean exit (code 0) without the port opening is detected as Chromium's
single-instance forward and produces a targeted user hint to close all
running instances of that browser
- crash exits surface the stderr tail (e.g. missing libnspr4.so)
- every spawn/exit is logged to agent.log so hermes debug share captures it
- CLI (/browser connect) and TUI/desktop (browser.manage) both print the hint
* feat(desktop): CLI/dashboard parity — skills hub browser, MCP test/toggle/catalog, maintenance ops, log filters
Brings desktop GUI to parity with hermes skills/mcp/doctor/backup/debug-share/
curator/memory CLI commands and the dashboard's System + Skills-hub pages:
- Skills page: new Browse Hub tab (search official/GitHub/community sources,
preview SKILL.md, security scan verdicts, install/update with live action log)
- MCP settings: connection test (tool listing), per-server enable/disable
toggle, and a Catalog tab installing Nous-approved MCP servers with env prompts
- Command Center: new Maintenance section (doctor, security audit, backup,
debug share links, curator status/pause/run, memory file status + reset)
- Command Center system logs: file (agent/errors/gateway/desktop), level, and
substring filters instead of a fixed agent.log tail
- hermes.ts API client + types for all the above; en/zh locale strings (ja and
zh-hant inherit via defineLocale)
* feat(desktop): backend model catalogs in toolset config — hermes tools parity
Completes the `hermes tools` parity gap: after picking an image/video
generation backend the CLI runs a model picker (e.g. FAL's multi-model
catalog with speed/strengths/price); the desktop toolset drawer now has the
same flow as a radio-card list.
- web_server: GET /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/models (catalog + current +
default for the active or named provider row) and PUT .../model
(validated write to image_gen.model / video_gen.model), reusing the CLI's
plugin catalog helpers so GUI and `hermes tools` stay in lockstep
- desktop: ModelCatalogPicker in ToolsetConfigPanel — per-model cards with
speed/strengths/price, in-use + default badges, disabled until the
backend is the active one; provider selection now mirrors is_active
locally so the catalog unlocks without a refetch
- tests: 3 backend endpoint tests (catalog shape invariants, persist +
validation), 2 component tests, 2 API-contract tests; en/zh strings
New preset key 'fanout': 'per_iteration' (default, unchanged behavior)
re-runs the reference fan-out whenever the advisory view changes — every
tool iteration. 'user_turn' runs the advisors ONCE per user turn and lets
the aggregator act alone for the rest of the tool loop — the original MoA
shape (upfront multi-model synthesis, then a single acting model), and the
obvious lever on MoA's wall/cost multiplier (advisor generation dominates
per-turn latency).
Implementation reuses the existing turn-scoped reference cache: in
user_turn mode the cache signature hashes only the prefix up to the LAST
user message, so mid-turn advisory-view growth doesn't change the key and
iteration 2+ is a cache HIT (advice reused, zero advisor spend, no
re-trace). A new user message changes the prefix and re-triggers the
fan-out. Unknown fanout values normalize to per_iteration.
OpenCode Go serves minimax/qwen via Anthropic Messages (base URL without
/v1 — the SDK appends /v1/messages) and glm/kimi/deepseek/mimo via OpenAI
chat completions (base URL WITH /v1). The runtime stripped /v1 for
anthropic-routed models, and the TUI/desktop + gateway persisted that
stripped URL to model.base_url. Every later chat_completions model then
POSTed to https://opencode.ai/zen/go/chat/completions — a 404 (the
marketing site). Result: only minimax worked; glm/deepseek/kimi all 404ed.
- New normalize_opencode_base_url(): symmetric /v1 normalization —
strip for anthropic_messages, re-append for chat_completions /
codex_responses on opencode.ai hosts (heals persisted stripped URLs;
custom proxy overrides untouched)
- Applied at all three former one-way strip sites (resolve_runtime_provider
x2, switch_model)
- opencode_model_api_mode: all Qwen models on Go AND Zen now route via
/v1/messages per current published endpoint tables (previously only
qwen3.7-max on Go — qwen3.6-plus etc. would 404 the same way)
- Catalog refresh: Go gains deepseek-v4-pro/flash, glm-5.2,
kimi-k2.7-code, minimax-m3, qwen3.7-plus; Zen gains glm-5.2,
kimi-k2.7-code, minimax-m3, qwen3.7-plus
Reported by IndieSuperhuman on X: opencode-go 404s for any model other
than minimax.
A single-model Hermes agent never sends temperature; the provider default
applies. MoA hardcoded reference_temperature=0.6 / aggregator_temperature=0.4,
and the coercion float(preset.get(key, 0.6) or 0.6) made unset IMPOSSIBLE to
express: absent, null, empty, and even an explicit 0 all collapsed to the
baked-in default. Every MoA advisor and aggregator therefore ran at 0.6/0.4
while the same model running solo used the provider default — silently
skewing solo-vs-MoA comparisons and overriding provider-tuned defaults.
- moa_config normalization: temperatures coerce to None when absent/blank/
invalid (new _coerce_float_or_none); explicit values incl. 0 honored.
- moa_loop: _preset_temperature() resolves preset values; None flows to
call_llm, which already omits the parameter when None (same contract as
max_tokens). Aggregator still inherits the acting agent's own configured
temperature when the preset doesn't pin one.
- conversation_loop (context-mode MoA): same resolution, no more hardcoded
0.6/0.4 at the call site.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG preset + web_server payload models + docs updated: unset
is the default, pinning stays available.
hermes debug share reads os.getenv — the invoking terminal's environment — but
launchd/systemd and the desktop-spawned `serve` backend load credentials from
~/.hermes/.env, not the login shell. A key exported in the shell but absent
from .env is invisible to the backend, yet the dump printed a bare "set",
sending support down a phantom "the key is configured" path.
This was the actual trap behind a "Desktop has no web_search / no tools"
report: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY was a shell export (so `debug share` in a terminal
read "firecrawl set") but not in .env, so the launchd backend's
check_web_api_key returned False and web_search was gated off — which a
contributor then misdiagnosed as a missing `desktop` platform registration.
The dump now annotates any key set in-process but missing from ~/.hermes/.env
with "(shell only — not in .env; managed/desktop backend may not see it)" so
the mismatch is obvious instead of hidden behind "set".
Follow-up to @helix4u's #57336 salvage. Two review findings:
- W1: model-picker grouped custom-provider rows by
(api_url, credential, api_mode) but NOT extra_headers. Entries sharing a
URL+credential+api_mode yet declaring different headers (e.g. per-tenant
routing behind one proxy) collapsed into one row and probed /models with
whichever header set was seen first (order-dependent). Fold a canonical
header identity into group_key so distinct header-authed endpoints stay
separate; drops the now-dead first-non-empty merge branch.
- W2: the extra_headers stringify+None-filter comprehension existed in 5
copies (config.py x2, runtime_provider.py, model_switch.py, models.py).
Extract one shared hermes_cli.config.normalize_extra_headers primitive;
all sites now call it.
Tests: +normalize_extra_headers unit tests, +regression test proving two
same-endpoint entries with different headers stay distinct and each probes
with its own headers. 223 targeted tests pass; ruff clean.
Desktop/dashboard WebSocket connections drop during long agent operations
(delegate_task subagents, large model outputs) when the uvicorn event loop is
GIL-starved for minutes. Root cause: uvicorn's ws keepalive ping runs on the
SAME event loop as agent turns. A single synchronous GIL-holding call on a
worker thread (a regex/scrub over a large output, or a long subagent turn)
freezes the loop, so it cannot process the incoming pong within ws_ping_timeout
and uvicorn closes an otherwise-healthy connection (#53773: 'event loop stalled
226.3s'; #48445/#50005). Loosening the timeout only raises the threshold — a
multi-minute stall sails past any finite window.
The keepalive ping exists to detect half-open connections (reverse-proxy 524,
dropped tunnels), which cannot happen on loopback: there is no network or proxy
in the path, and a dead local client tears the socket down with a real FIN/RST
that starlette surfaces as WebSocketDisconnect regardless of the ping. So on
loopback the ping provides ~no liveness value while actively killing
recoverable stalls — disable it entirely (ws_ping_interval/timeout=None).
Non-loopback (public) binds sit behind a Cloudflare Tunnel where half-open IS a
real failure mode, so the ping stays at 20/20 to detect it.
Empirically verified (real uvicorn + websockets peer): with ws_ping=None the
server never closes a silent peer during an 8s window; with the pre-fix 2s/2s
window uvicorn closes it. A genuinely-dead client still fires the
WebSocketDisconnect reap path regardless of the ping.
Note: this fixes the local Desktop case (the OP's scenario). A remote Desktop
over an authenticated public dashboard route (McCalebTheSecond's comment) keeps
the ping and needs the deeper GIL-hotspot fix — tracked separately.
Closes#53773
delete_profile stopped only the process named in gateway.pid, but a Desktop
app spawns a headless `serve`/`dashboard` backend per profile that holds the
profile's SQLite connection open and keeps writing sessions/WAL/sandbox files.
That backend is never in gateway.pid, so a CLI `hermes profile delete` run
while the Desktop app is up left it writing into the tree — rmtree's final
rmdir then failed with ENOTEMPTY (#47368 "Bug 2"), and pre-guard it also
resurrected the directory.
- _profile_bound_backend_pids(): find running Hermes backends bound to this
profile via a `--profile <name>` selector or a HERMES_HOME env resolving to
the profile dir. Tightly scoped — current-user only, backend subcommands
(serve/dashboard/gateway) only so an interactive chat is never killed, and
never this process or its ancestors.
- _stop_profile_backends(): terminate them (graceful, then force), best-effort
so it can never make delete worse.
- _rmtree_with_retry(): a few spaced retries absorb the ENOTEMPTY / Windows
file-lock race from a just-terminated writer's in-flight -wal/-shm/sandbox
writes instead of failing the whole delete on a race the next attempt wins.
Complements the recreation guard (deleted profiles no longer reappear) and the
Desktop teardown-before-delete flow; this is the CLI-side convergence fix for a
delete run while a Desktop-managed backend is live.
Part of #47368.
Replace the loopback/PKCE-callback server and manual-paste fallback with
the RFC 8628 device-code flow as the only xAI Grok OAuth login path. The
flow works in headless/SSH/container sessions with no 127.0.0.1 listener,
shrinking the local attack surface.
- Poll the token endpoint with server-provided interval, honoring
slow_down and expires_in; store tokens with auth_mode
oauth_device_code.
- Adaptive proactive refresh skew for short-lived device-code JWTs;
rotated tokens sync back to auth.json, the global root store, and the
credential pool (no refresh-token replay).
- Clear source suppression on successful re-login (CLI + dashboard) and
drop the duplicate dashboard pool entry so exactly one seeded
device_code entry exists.
- Use the shared device_code source name for consistency with the
nous/codex device-code providers.
- Desktop: remove the loopback OAuth flow states and dead type variants;
pkce providers' sign-in URL selection is unchanged.
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) rewritten for device-code login; drop the deleted
--manual-paste flag from documented commands.
Named providers / custom_providers entries in config.yaml now accept an
extra_headers dict scoped to that endpoint — for reverse proxies, API
gateways, and custom auth schemes (e.g. Cloudflare Access service tokens).
- hermes_cli/config.py: normalize extra_headers on provider entries
(_normalize_custom_provider_entry + providers-dict translation), add
get_custom_provider_extra_headers /
apply_custom_provider_extra_headers_to_client_kwargs helpers keyed on
base_url (case/trailing-slash insensitive, no substring bypass —
mirrors the TLS helpers)
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: surface extra_headers in the resolved
runtime for named custom providers (providers dict, legacy
custom_providers list, and the credential-pool path)
- run_agent.py / agent/agent_init.py: merge per-provider extra_headers
onto the OpenAI client default_headers at construction and on every
_apply_client_headers_for_base_url re-application (credential swaps,
rebuilds), most-specific level wins; OpenAI-wire only (native
Anthropic/Bedrock scoped out)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: accept model.extra_headers as an alias of
model.default_headers for the global variant
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented commented example
- Header values are treated as secrets and never logged
Salvaged from PR #3526 by @jneeee, reimplemented against current main.

Salvaged from PR #3243 by @Mibayy, reimplemented against current main
(the original diff targeted a removed gateway/run.py handler).
- /compact is now a first-class alias of /compress (CLI, gateway,
Telegram/Slack/Discord command lists, autocomplete) — also fixes the
dangling '/compact' references in gateway error messages
(gateway/run.py context-exhausted banners).
- --preview / --dry-run: report what WOULD be compressed (message
counts, token estimate, 'here [N]' boundary) without touching the
transcript. Flags coexist with the existing 'here [N]' / focus-topic
args on both the CLI and gateway surfaces via shared pure helpers in
hermes_cli/partial_compress.py.
- --aggressive (LLM-free hard truncation) is intentionally NOT
implemented: it would need its own transcript-persistence branch
outside the guarded _compress_context rotation machinery (#44794
data-loss class). The flag is recognized and returns an explanatory
message pointing at '/compress here [N]' and /undo instead of being
mis-parsed as a focus topic.
- locales: gateway.compress.aggressive_unsupported added to all 16
catalogs (parity test enforced).
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for contributor credit.
Salvage of #3459 by @keslerm, reimplemented against the restructured
progress-callback block in gateway/run.py (resolve_display_setting,
needs_progress_queue, thinking-relay). Duplicate PR #3458 by @dlkakbs was
submitted 4 minutes earlier with the same feature — both credited.
Co-authored-by: Dilee <uzmpsk.dilekakbas@gmail.com>
tool_progress: log keeps the chat silent and appends timestamped tool-call
lines to ~/.hermes/logs/tool_calls.log via a dedicated queue drained by an
async writer (RotatingFileHandler 5MB x 3, RedactingFormatter so secrets
never land on disk). Gateway-only by design; thinking_progress relaying and
the webhook gate are unaffected. /verbose now cycles
off -> new -> all -> verbose -> log.
Salvage of the surviving hunk of #3296 by @Mibayy. The PR's gateway
_handle_provider_command hunk targets code removed on main (/provider was
absorbed into /model + /status, which already read model.base_url); the
hermes status mislabel was the remaining live symptom:
_effective_provider_label() only checked the legacy OPENAI_BASE_URL env var,
so a custom endpoint configured canonically in config.yaml still displayed
as OpenRouter.
delegation.max_concurrent_children is now the single cap for both a
batch's parallelism and concurrent background delegation units.
- _get_max_async_children() delegates to _get_max_concurrent_children();
a leftover max_async_children key logs a one-time deprecation warning
- config v32→33 migration removes the stale key, folding a raised
max_async_children into max_concurrent_children (max wins, no lost
headroom)
- capacity error messages now point at max_concurrent_children
- pool-at-capacity sync fallback now attaches an explanatory note so
the model/user know why the call blocked instead of dispatching async
Previously users who raised max_concurrent_children (e.g. to 15) still
hit the invisible default-3 async cap: the 4th background delegate_task
silently ran inline, blocking the turn with no signal.
Two related hardening fixes for auxiliary calls (which include MoA reference
advisors — a pinned-model path where provider fallback is not a meaningful
recovery):
1. Transient-transport retries: the same-provider retry on a connection reset /
timeout / 5xx / 408 was a single attempt, then fallback. For a pinned aux
call a second blip silently loses the call (root of the run2 double-advisor
'Connection error' collapse — a genuine upstream blip). Now retries N times
with exponential backoff, N = auxiliary.transient_retries (default 2 -> 3
total attempts, clamped [0,6]). Compression-on-timeout fast-fail carve-out
preserved.
2. Per-model client-cache isolation: _client_cache_key excluded the model, so
two concurrent auxiliary calls to the same provider/base_url/key but
different models (e.g. an opus + gpt-5.5 MoA fan-out) shared one cache entry
and could race each other's client lifecycle. Model now participates in the
key -> distinct clients, no cross-call races. Same-model reuse unchanged.
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: _transient_retry_count() + backoff loop; model in
_client_cache_key and both call sites.
- hermes_cli/config.py: auxiliary.transient_retries default (2).
- tests: new retry/isolation tests; updated 2 stale-expectation tests to the
corrected behavior (per-model resolve; N-retry escalation).
Backoff base is overridable (_TRANSIENT_RETRY_BACKOFF_BASE) so tests don't sleep.
