Port from openai/codex#31188: a parse failure in a policy-bearing config
file must not silently replace the effective policy with an empty/default
one. Codex's load_exec_policy_with_warning replaced the whole exec policy
with Policy::empty() when a .rules file failed to parse, silently dropping
managed prompt/forbidden rules; the fix preserves the managed policy while
still warning.
Hermes had the same bug shape in load_config(): a YAML parse error made
_load_config_impl() fall through to DEFAULT_CONFIG, dropping every user
override — including approvals.deny rules, which are documented to block
commands even under --yolo. In a long-running gateway, a user mid-editing
config.yaml into broken YAML silently disarmed their own deny rules on the
next load.
Now, when the process has a last successfully loaded config for that path
(_LAST_EXPANDED_CONFIG_BY_PATH), a parse failure keeps serving it (cached
under the corrupt file's signature so the broken file isn't re-parsed) and
the warning says edits are being ignored until the YAML is fixed. Fresh
processes with no last-known-good keep the existing DEFAULT_CONFIG
fallback and warning.
E2E-verified: deny rule 'curl*evil.com*' still blocks after mid-process
corruption; fixed file reloads normally; fresh-process fallback unchanged.
The earlier fix gated _resolve_use_tui, but the EARLY launcher
(_wants_tui_early) decides TUI from display.interface before cmd_chat
runs — so a `display.interface: tui` default still booted the Ink UI for
headless spawns (kanban workers), whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 →
"protocol violation". Gate the early resolver on a real TTY: headless
stdio never boots the TUI regardless of config; explicit --tui still does.
Dragging a task done→ready did nothing: the respawn guard saw a run that
completed within the success window and deferred forever, unable to tell a
deliberate operator re-run from a status flap. Now a re-queue event
(status change, promote, unblock, reclaim) AFTER the completion bypasses
the recent_success guard, so an explicit done→ready runs again.
A retried task (→ running) kept showing "crashed Nx": the in-flight run
has no outcome yet, so the trailing crash scan skipped it and kept
counting the prior streak, and the consecutive_failures counter lingers.
Exempt `running` from both repeated_failures and repeated_crashes so a
fresh attempt clears the banner until it itself resolves (re-fires if the
new run also fails).
An inherited HERMES_TUI=1 or a `display.interface: tui` config default sent
kanban workers into the Ink TUI, whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 without doing
the task — every attempt ended in "protocol violation". Two layers:
- _default_spawn pins `--cli` (highest-precedence interface flag) and strips
HERMES_TUI from the child env (covers older builds on PATH).
- _resolve_use_tui gates ambient TUI prefs (env/config) behind a real TTY;
an explicit --tui still wins so the informative bail-out stays reachable.
A manual done (dashboard/desktop drag) runs complete_task but ends no
run, so a trailing crashed/crashed run history never gains the
'completed' outcome that breaks the repeated_crashes streak — the card
kept flagging "needs attention" forever after being finished.
repeated_failures had the same hole via a stale counter. Terminal
statuses are now exempt from both: done means done; the history stays
on the event log for audit. Regression test included.
Adding the 6 gpt-5.6 slugs to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS grew the curated codex
catalog to 11, above the test's max_models=10 cap. That truncated the
picker list to 10 while total_models reported 11, breaking the
total_models == len(models) assertion. The cap was an implicit
change-detector on catalog size; raise it to 100 so the list is never
truncated and the count-consistency invariant stays meaningful as new
gpt-5.x slugs land.
Close the remaining end-to-end gaps so the full gpt-5.6 family (sol/
terra/luna + their -pro high-effort modes, 6 slugs) works on every
surface a user can reach them through:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: the Codex OAuth backend hard-caps context
at 272K for gpt-5.6 exactly as it does for 5.4/5.5, but the default
50% compaction trigger would summarize at ~136K and waste half the
usable window. Extend the existing _is_codex_gpt54_or_gpt55 chokepoint
(single enforced predicate feeding _compression_threshold_for_model)
to match gpt-5.6* on the openai-codex route so those sessions get the
same 0.85 auto-raise. Direct-API/OpenRouter routes (full 1.05M window)
are unaffected; the historical codex_gpt55_autoraise opt-out still
applies. The one-time notice banner is model-dynamic and already
renders the correct slug/cap.
- hermes_cli/config.py, agent/agent_init.py: refresh the autoraise
comments/notice to mention the 5.6 family.
- hermes_cli/codex_models.py: add the -pro variants to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS
+ forward-compat so ChatGPT-OAuth (openai-codex) Pro users see the full
family in /model, not just the base tiers.
Supersedes the earlier commit's note that 5.6 was intentionally kept out
of the codex catalog: the slugs are confirmed routable (OpenRouter live
+ codex backend), so they belong there like every other codex-capable
gpt-5.x slug.
E2E verified across all 6 slugs: direct-API ctx 1.05M, codex ctx 272K,
pricing reachable from openai + openai-api routes, codex compaction
override 0.85 (and None on direct-API + when opted out), present in
openai-api picker + codex catalog, /model gpt resolves to sol on both
native routes. Guard tests added for the compaction route matrix.
PR #61587 adds sol-pro/terra-pro/luna-pro to the aggregator lists.
Complete those on the native surfaces the same way this PR completes
the base tiers:
- hermes_cli/models.py: -pro variants in _PROVIDER_MODELS[openai-api].
- agent/usage_pricing.py: alias ("openai", "gpt-5.6-*-pro") onto the
base-tier PricingEntry rows — the -pro high-effort modes bill at the
SAME per-token rates (verified against OpenRouter live pricing
2026-07-09: identical prompt/completion prices for base and -pro);
they cost more per task by consuming more tokens, not a higher rate.
- Context lengths need no new entries: "gpt-5.6-sol" et al. are
substrings of their -pro variants and both lookup tables match
longest-key-first (verified: sol-pro -> 1.05M direct / 272K codex).
- model_switch sort: -pro variants parse as suffix "sol-pro" (rank 1),
so /model gpt still defaults to base sol — pinned by test.
- Not added to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS: only confirmed routable via API/
OpenRouter so far; codex live discovery will surface them if ChatGPT
exposes them, same policy as other unconfirmed codex slugs.
Tests: invariant tests extended (pro aliases share base entries, base
sol outranks sol-pro); 191 targeted tests pass.
Phase-2 review findings addressed:
- resolve_billing_route: normalize the "openai-api" picker slug to the
"openai" billing provider — without this the ("openai", <model>)
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING keys (incl. every pre-existing gpt-4o/gpt-4.1
entry, not just 5.6) were unreachable when the provider is openai-api.
- pricing_version: drop the "preview" tag (GA 2026-07-09 at same rates).
- model_metadata comment: dict order is cosmetic — lookups length-sort
keys at match time; the old comment implied a positional invariant.
- model_switch comment: note "sol" is a series codename, not a generic
quality word.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_gpt56_registration.py: behavior contracts (no
list snapshots) — sol > terra/luna > 5.5 sort invariant, pricing
reachability from both openai and openai-api routes, cache-write
1.25x / cache-read 0.10x input relation.
Phase-2 review finding: the validation branch expanduser()s the path but
web_server.py reads os.environ['HERMES_WEB_DIST'] raw at import — a
'~/dist' value would validate here and still 404 there. Write the
expanded path back before the web_server import. Adds a regression test
asserting the env var holds the expanded path after cmd_dashboard.
Mock _preflight_user_systemd and _select_systemd_scope in
test_systemd_start_refreshes_outdated_unit and
test_systemd_restart_refreshes_outdated_unit. These tests target
unit-file refresh logic, not D-Bus reachability, so the preflight
check was causing spurious UserSystemdUnavailableError on macOS,
WSL, and Docker where systemd is unavailable.
(cherry picked from commit 34113300a1cbbecf7c9fa2201ddaf517acc521d3)
A custom HERMES_WEB_DIST without --skip-build skipped BOTH the web UI
build and any validation: cmd_dashboard fell through the build gate and
started the server against a dist that may not exist, serving 404s with
no obvious cause. This is the same failure mode issue #23817 fixed for
the --skip-build branch — the env-var branch was left unvalidated.
Add the missing else-branch: fail fast with actionable guidance when
HERMES_WEB_DIST has no index.html, proceed (still without building) when
it does.
Credit: @Caelier (#17845) originally proposed dist validation for the
dashboard startup path; the --skip-build half of that PR's scope has
since landed via the #23817 fix, this covers the remaining env-var path
on the rewritten cmd_dashboard surface.
Follow-up to HexLab98's fix. The sync-before-regenerate invariant was
enforced by convention across 6 callsites (~3 idempotent unit-file reads
per command). Consolidate it into the one function every compare/regenerate
path funnels through — systemd_unit_is_current — and drop the now-redundant
callsite pre-syncs in refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed / systemd_start /
systemd_restart / systemd_status.
Kept the systemd_install pre-sync: the --force path bypasses the
is_current gate and calls generate_systemd_unit() directly, so it needs
its own sync to avoid baking /root/.hermes under sudo.
Reworked the two callsite-ordering tests into a chokepoint-invariant guard
(test_is_current_syncs_before_reading_unit) + a delegation test proving
start/restart no longer pre-sync. Both fail if the chokepoint sync is
removed; the pre-existing behavior test still passes.
PR #61281 removed the client-side X-Hermes-Session-Token requirement from the
dashboard OAuth mutation calls so cookie-authenticated hosted/mobile sessions
can start provider logins. That change is safe only because the server still
gates those endpoints (gated_auth_middleware cookie check + _require_token).
The PR's api.test.ts suite mocks fetch and only asserts client behavior, so a
re-break of the gated-mode cookie gate would pass CI unnoticed.
Add gated-mode TestClient tests asserting POST /api/env/reveal and the OAuth
mutation endpoints (disconnect/start/submit/cancel) return 401 with no session
cookie. Mutation-verified: neutering both the middleware gate and _require_token
flips all five to 200.
Rebase reconciliation with #60884: _count_status_active_sessions (from
#58238) now passes compact_rows=True (this branch's #47437 projection),
so the fake asserts both.
get_status now probes via get_running_pid_cached() (#53511 salvage);
these tests were added on main after that PR was cut and still patched
web_server.get_running_pid, so their fakes were bypassed and CI slice
5/8 failed. Patch the name the handler actually calls.
Review finding: SessionDB(read_only=True) requires the DB file to exist
(its documented contract says callers guard on db_path.exists()); on a
fresh install every /api/status poll paid an OperationalError until the
first session was written. Short-circuit to 0 when state.db is absent.
Tests: fresh-install guard + existing read_only test adjusted.
The #39140 CTE used UNION ALL, which recurses forever if a corrupted
parent chain loops (a -> b -> a) — reproduced: query never returns. The
old Python walk was cycle-safe via a seen-set. UNION dedups the working
set and terminates. Regression test added and mutation-verified (UNION
ALL hangs the test, UNION passes).
- OPENROUTER_MODELS: remove openrouter/owl-alpha (free) and
tencent/hy3-preview{,:free}; add tencent/hy3 and tencent/hy3:free
- _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous]: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
- run_agent.py reasoning-prefix list: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
(prefix match still covers -preview if pinned)
- model_metadata: register hy3 context length (262144) alongside hy3-preview
- regenerate website/static/api/model-catalog.json
- update tokenhub curated-list tests to the new IDs
The tencent-tokenhub direct provider still serves hy3-preview and is
intentionally unchanged.
* 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
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.
Follow-up on the #56966 salvage:
- is_provider_explicitly_configured(): an env-seeded credential-pool entry
only counts as explicit while its env var still resolves to a usable
secret. A stale auth.json entry left behind after the user deletes the
var no longer keeps the provider in the picker forever (#55790).
- TUI modelPicker + dashboard ModelPickerDialog/api.getModelOptions pass
include_unconfigured=true explicitly, preserving their full-universe
setup-affordance behavior now that the backend defaults to the
configured subset.
- desktop lib/model-options.ts routes explicit_only through the shared
requestModelOptions() helper (added on main after the PR branched).
- regression tests for ambient (gh_cli) pool sources, explicit manual/
device-code sources, and stale vs live env-seeded entries.
* 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).
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.
- 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.
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.
Drop the Responses-API native compaction path and its opt-in umbrella
flag from the salvaged feature. On the Codex OAuth chat route Hermes
owns the message list and the summary compressor works (and stays
provider-portable — encrypted compaction items would lock the session
history to chatgpt.com and break /model switches and provider
fallback). On the app-server runtime (codex CLI/agent) the codex agent
owns the real thread context, so thread/compact/start is the only
mechanism that can actually shrink it (#36801) — that path is now the
default behavior for codex_app_server sessions, controlled by
compression.codex_app_server_auto (native|hermes|off), no umbrella
flag.
Removed: responses.compact() call path, codex_compaction_items replay/
persistence plumbing, codex_native_compaction + codex_responses_threshold
config keys, desktop settings fields, and their tests. Kept: everything
app-server (compact_thread(), compaction notifications, bookkeeping,
docs, tests) plus cache-busting keys for the surviving knobs.
--safe-mode promised to disable ALL customizations, but shell hooks
declared in config.yaml's hooks: block registered anyway —
register_from_config() runs independently of plugin discovery and
load_config() does not honor HERMES_IGNORE_USER_CONFIG. Gate it on
HERMES_SAFE_MODE at the single chokepoint so troubleshooting runs fire
zero user-configured code (plugins, MCP, and hooks).
Docs (en + zh) updated; positive + negative tests added.
* 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).
* chore(release): map austinlaw076 author email for PR #57563 salvage

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).
The test_module_resolves_to_this_worktree guard asserted auth.__file__ contained
'worktrees/bootstrap-h2-logging' — a local dev crutch to defeat the editable-
install trap (venv points at the main checkout). In CI the code lives at
/home/runner/work/... so the assertion always fails. It never belonged in the
committed suite; the 5 behavioural tests are what matter.
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.
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.
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
The CLI model-switch display (both picker and direct-switch paths)
omitted the custom_providers keyword when calling
resolve_display_context_length(). The function already supports it
(and the gateway correctly passes it), but the CLI call sites relied
on the fallthrough to probe-down default (256K) even when a
custom_providers entry specified a per-model context_length.
Fix: pass agent._custom_providers at both resolve_display_context_length
call sites in HermesCLI._apply_model_switch_result(), matching the
pattern already used for config_context_length.
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).
Regression tests from PR #51586: the inspection agent must receive the
platform-resolved enabled_toolsets and agent.disabled_toolsets, and a
Blank Slate profile's prompt-size must count exactly the 6 file/terminal
tool schemas.
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.
Overlap-invariant regression test from PR #58686 — no toolset in the
blank-slate disabled_toolsets may share a tool with a kept toolset,
since the subtraction happens at tool granularity (#57315, #58281).
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
Assert the "Test server" probe skips prompts/list when tools.prompts is false,
skips both families when the server advertises neither capability (the Unreal
MCP server case), probes both when advertised and enabled, and falls back to
the legacy always-try behaviour when no capability info was captured.
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

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.
`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".
