The Camoufox REST API server expects `listItemId` in the `POST /tabs`
body, but `_ensure_tab` was sending `sessionKey`. This caused a 400
Bad Request on every `browser_navigate` call.
The parameter name mismatch is visible in the same file: line 283
already reads `tab.get("listItemId")` when adopting existing tabs,
confirming the server-side field name.
Fixes#37960
Make the read-only agent terminal mirrors stream in real time and give
the agent a desktop-only way to dismiss its own tabs.
- Stream background output live: the local reader used a blocking
read(4096) that buffered small periodic output until EOF, so agent
tabs only "filled in" at process exit. Switch to buffer.read1(4096)
(decoded) for incremental chunks.
- Route agent.terminal.output / terminal.close to the window that owns
the process (its gateway session) instead of an empty session id, so
events actually reach the desktop renderer.
- Add close_terminal: a HERMES_DESKTOP-gated tool (sibling of
read_terminal) that drops a process's read-only tab WITHOUT killing it
via process_registry.on_close; output keeps buffering and the user can
reopen from the status stack.
- ⌘W now closes a focused agent tab: mark the agent instance
data-terminal and focus it on activation so isFocusWithin routes there.
- ensureTerminal() no longer spawns an extra user shell when a tab
already exists (e.g. opening a background task from the status stack).
_normalize_approval_mode() previously accepted any string, so an unknown
value like 'auto' fell through every downstream mode check (off/smart) and
silently behaved like manual with no signal. Validate against the known
modes (manual/smart/off), emit a warning for anything else, and default to
manual to match the config default and the rest of the function.
Bug 1 from the original PR (/approve & /deny bypassing the running-agent
guard) already landed on main independently, so only the mode-validation
fix is salvaged here.

* fix(terminal): require approval for host-bound Docker commands
The Docker terminal backend blanket-skips dangerous-command approval on
the assumption that the container is isolated from the host. That holds
only when nothing is bind-mounted in. Once a host path is exposed (via
TERMINAL_DOCKER_MOUNT_CWD_TO_WORKSPACE or a host-path entry in
TERMINAL_DOCKER_VOLUMES), a command like `rm -rf /workspace` reaches
real host files but is still auto-approved.
Detect host bind mounts and route those sessions through the normal
approval flow. Isolated Docker keeps the fast path. The same gating is
applied to the execute_code guard, which had the identical blanket skip.

* chore: add AUTHOR_MAP entry for PR #6436 salvage (Kolektori)
* test: accept has_host_access kwarg in _check_all_guards mocks
The host-bound Docker approval fix adds a has_host_access kwarg to the
_check_all_guards wrapper. Six pre-existing tests monkeypatch it with a
fixed (command, env_type) / (cmd, env) lambda signature, which now
raises TypeError when terminal_tool passes the new kwarg. Widen those
mock signatures to accept **kwargs.

On hosts where the cgroup v2 cpu/memory/pids controllers are not delegated
to the docker/podman process (unprivileged Proxmox LXCs, some rootless and
nested setups), --pids-limit/--cpus/--memory cause every container start to
fail with OCI runtime error / exit 126, breaking terminal + execute_code.
- Add _cgroup_limits_available(image): one-shot, host-wide cached probe that
spawns a throwaway container from the sandbox image itself (sleep 0) with
all three flags together, mirroring the existing _storage_opt_supported
probe-and-degrade pattern.
- Remove --pids-limit from static _BASE_SECURITY_ARGS; apply it (default 256
via _DEFAULT_PIDS_LIMIT) in resource_args gated on the probe.
- Gate --cpus and --memory on the same probe.
Behavior unchanged on cgroup-capable hosts; graceful degradation with a
one-time warning where controllers aren't delegated.
Fixes#6568.

* fix(daytona): quote single-upload mkdir parent path
The single-file _daytona_upload() path shelled out 'mkdir -p {parent}'
with the remote parent interpolated unquoted, so shell metacharacters in
the path could break the command or inject arbitrary commands into the
sandbox. The bulk-upload, bulk-download, and delete paths were already
hardened with shlex-quoting helpers; this single-upload path was missed.
Route it through the existing quoted_mkdir_command() helper and add a
regression test covering a path with shell metacharacters.
Reported by @Gutslabs (#3960); the original branch predated the
file_sync refactor, so the fix is re-applied to the current code path.

The SSRF cluster (7a6fe9bb, 48f5c425, 7ef04ae7) sealed
browser_snapshot, browser_vision, and _browser_eval against
eval-navigated private pages, but browser_get_images bypasses
_browser_eval and calls _run_browser_command("eval", ...) directly.
An eval-driven navigation to a private address followed by
browser_get_images would leak image src URLs and alt text from the
private page.
Add the same _eval_ssrf_guard_active + _current_page_private_url
recheck before returning image data, matching the pattern established
by the sibling guards.
5 new tests cover: block on private page, allow on public page, skip
for local backend, skip when private URLs allowed, no guard needed on
failed eval.
When a local browser_navigate (or any browser command) fails fast because
Chromium isn't on disk, attempt a one-shot binary download via
`agent-browser install` and retry instead of only printing a hint.
Scope is narrow on purpose:
- binary only, never `--with-deps` (that shells apt/needs root, so missing
system libraries stay a user action)
- gated by `security.allow_lazy_installs` (same opt-out as every lazy install)
- skipped in Docker (Chromium ships in the image)
- attempted once per process
Follow-up to #54353, which made the cold-start failure legible; this closes
the "doesn't actually install the missing browser" gap for the common case.
OAuth-protected MCP servers (e.g. Hospitable) return 200 text/html on an
unauthenticated HEAD probe — a login/landing page the server cannot substitute
for a real MCP response without a Bearer token. The preflight cannot
distinguish this from a misconfigured URL, so it raises NonMcpEndpointError
before the OAuth browser flow has a chance to run.
Add `and self._auth_type != "oauth"` to the preflight condition in
MCPServerTask.run(). The probe is inapplicable to OAuth servers: their URL
legitimacy is established by .well-known/oauth-protected-resource during the
OAuth handshake, not by a GET content-type check.
Concrete repro: Hospitable (https://mcp.hospitable.com/mcp) returns
`200 text/html` to an unauthenticated httpx HEAD. Without the guard:
✗ NonMcpEndpointError at `hermes mcp test`
With the guard:
✓ Connected (1487ms) — 63 tools discovered
Relation to open PRs:
- #37598 adds a POST probe fallback for POST-only non-OAuth servers (e.g.
DocuSeal), but only passes when POST returns 2xx + MCP content-type.
Hospitable returns 401 on the POST probe (Bearer challenge), so #37598
does not cover this case.
- #49463 extends the POST probe to also pass on non-2xx auth challenges
(making it OAuth-aware), but is labeled duplicate of #37598 and may not
land independently.
This fix is complementary: it handles OAuth servers with zero extra
round-trips rather than adding a POST probe step.
Tests:
- test_oauth_server_html_response_raises_without_skip: documents that
_preflight_content_type raises NonMcpEndpointError for 200 text/html
(the underlying issue), with an OAuth-server docstring.
- test_run_skips_preflight_for_oauth: verifies that run() does NOT invoke
_preflight_content_type when auth_type=="oauth", using class-level
monkeypatching so the gate is exercised without a live MCP transport.

* fix(security): redact secrets in background process + foreground env-dump output
Terminal-output redaction was incomplete (#43025):
- Gap 1: process(action=poll/log/wait) returned background stdout verbatim —
no redaction at all. A background printenv/server/test emitting a key leaked
raw to the model, session.db, and CLI display. Same for the gateway
background-process watcher's completion/progress notifications.
- Gap 2: the foreground terminal path hardcoded code_file=True, which skips the
ENV-assignment pass, so an opaque token (no vendor prefix) from env/printenv
leaked even there.
Adds agent.redact.redact_terminal_output(output, command) as the single policy
for ALL terminal-output surfaces: env-dump commands (env/printenv/set/export/
declare) get the ENV-assignment pass (code_file=False) to mask opaque tokens;
other commands stay on code_file=True to avoid false positives on source dumps.
Wired into terminal_tool, process_registry (_handle_process boundary), and the
gateway watcher. Respects security.redact_secrets (no force) — opt-out preserved.
* docs: add infographic for #43025 terminal-output redaction fix
The snapshot/vision guards re-check the page URL before returning content,
but browser_console(expression=...) -> _browser_eval returns arbitrary JS
results directly, leaving two same-class bypasses open:
1. Direct fetch: fetch('http://127.0.0.1/secret').then(r=>r.text()) reads
a private endpoint and returns the body — the page URL stays public so
the post-eval recheck never sees it.
2. Navigate-then-read: location.href='http://127.0.0.1/' then a later eval
reads document.body.innerText.
Guard _browser_eval on the same condition as navigate/snapshot/vision
(not local backend, not local sidecar, not allow_private_urls):
- pre-scan the expression for private/always-blocked URL literals
- re-check window.location.href after the eval at both success-return
sites (supervisor fast-path + subprocess fallback)
Probe failures fail-open (matching the snapshot/vision guards).
The private-network guard in browser_snapshot() and browser_vision()
blocked all private URLs, including those accessed via local sidecar
sessions (hybrid routing). Local sidecar sessions intentionally access
private URLs — the cloud provider never sees the URL in that case.
Add `_is_local_sidecar_key(effective_task_id)` check to both guards,
matching the existing pattern in browser_navigate().
Fixes#45101 review feedback from egilewski.
The SSRF bypass in #44731 was only patched for browser_snapshot(), but
browser_vision() exposes the same vulnerability — it takes a screenshot
and sends it to the vision model without checking if eval-driven
navigation moved the page to a private/internal URL.
Add the same current-page URL safety check to browser_vision() before
any screenshot is captured, encoded, or forwarded to the vision model.
This covers both the normal screenshot path and the Lightpanda Chrome
fallback path.
7 new tests: blocks private URL, allows public URL, skips in local
backend, skips when private URLs allowed, handles eval failure/empty/exception.
browser_snapshot() now checks the current page URL before returning
content. When browser_console() changes location.href to a private or
internal address (e.g., http://127.0.0.1:8080/), the snapshot returns
an error instead of exposing the private page content.
This closes the SSRF bypass where an attacker could:
1. Navigate to a public page
2. Use browser_console to eval location.href = 'http://127.0.0.1:port/'
3. Use browser_snapshot to read the private page content
The fix reuses the existing _is_safe_url() and _allow_private_urls()
infrastructure, and fails open if the URL check itself fails.
Fixes#44731
The atomic mv approach (kyssta-exe's commit) narrows but does not close the
#38249 race: the temp name used $$ (parent shell PID), which is identical
across &-launched concurrent subshells. Two concurrent writers pick the same
temp file, clobber each other mid-write, and mv then publishes a torn snapshot
— a reader sourcing it absorbs declare-x/export fragments into PATH.
- Use $BASHPID (actual per-subshell PID) so concurrent writers never collide.
- Chain mv on export success (&&) and rm the temp on failure so a partial dump
never replaces a good snapshot; apply the same to the init_session bootstrap.
- shlex-quote the static temp-path portion (Windows/spaces), $BASHPID outside.
- LocalEnvironment.cleanup sweeps orphaned snap.tmp.* temps.
- Regression tests: string-shape + a behavioral concurrent writers/readers test
that proves the snapshot never tears (would still tear with $$).
When tools.environments.local can't be imported (partial install,
import-time error), _is_hermes_provider_credential() returned False —
fail-open. A skill could then register a Hermes provider credential
(ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc.) as env passthrough; _scrub_child_env lets
passthrough vars bypass the secret-substring net (rule 1), so the
operator's real key would land in the execute_code child. Reopens the
GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf bypass.
Fail closed instead: on import failure, treat the name as a protected
provider credential and refuse passthrough. Regression test exercises
the full register -> scrub path under a simulated import failure.

Secret redaction is display/output-scoped on main — write_file writes
content verbatim, terminal/execute_code redact only output not the
command/source. The real bug is in displayed tool OUTPUT (read_file,
terminal, execute_code):
_DB_CONNSTR_RE's password group [^@]+ was greedy across newlines, so on a
multi-line block it scanned past the DSN line to the next stray '@' (a
Python @decorator), replacing every intervening character — including line
breaks — with ***. That dropped lines and concatenated the next line onto
the f-string line, making read_file output look corrupted (the file on disk
was always correct). Reported in #33801.
Fix:
- Forbid whitespace in the userinfo/password groups ([^:\s]+ / [^@\s]+) so
the match can never span a line break. A real DSN password never contains
whitespace. This alone kills the catastrophic line-dropping.
- Under code_file=True, preserve a password group that is a pure {...} brace
expression — f"postgresql://{user}:{pass}@{host}" is an f-string template,
not a live credential. Literal passwords are still masked.
- Pass code_file=True at the terminal and execute_code output redaction call
sites (file_tools already did) so code-execution output isn't corrupted by
ENV/JSON/template false positives. Real prefixes, auth headers, JWTs, and
private keys are still redacted.
Verified E2E against the reporter's exact pydantic-settings module: file
written verbatim, read_file shows the DSN f-string + @model_validator intact
with zero *** corruption, while a literal postgresql://admin:pw@host DSN and
a real sk- key are still masked.

The 600s default evicted the gateway clarify entry while users were
still away (meeting/AFK); a later button tap then landed on a dead
entry and the agent hung on 'running: clarify'. Raise the default to
1h in DEFAULT_CONFIG and the get_clarify_timeout() code-level fallback,
documenting the running-agent-guard tradeoff. User overrides still win.
Two follow-ups on top of the salvaged #46365 fix:
1. Tests: the salvaged tests injected the ephemeral MatrixAdapter via
sys.modules["gateway.platforms.matrix"], but Matrix migrated to a plugin
(#41112) and the fallback now imports from plugins.platforms.matrix.adapter.
Point the three sys.modules patches at the current module path so the
ephemeral-fallback tests actually exercise the injected fake adapter.
2. Harden the live-adapter lookup: split the gateway import guard from the
adapter lookup and log (instead of silently swallowing) when a runner
exists but adapters.get() raises. A silent fall-through there would
re-introduce the per-send reconnect/OTK-exhaustion storm this fix exists
to prevent (#46310). Documented that the live adapter is gateway-owned and
must not be disconnected, and why the ephemeral finally never touches it.
When a live gateway adapter is available (i.e. the tool runs inside a
running gateway), reuse the persistent connection instead of creating a
new MatrixAdapter per call. This eliminates per-message E2EE re-init
storms that exhaust recipient OTKs and silently drop messages.
The fix follows the same pattern as _send_to_platform (line 618):
gateway_runner_ref → runner.adapters[Platform.MATRIX]. Falls back to
the ephemeral connect/disconnect cycle for standalone contexts.
Also extracts the shared send logic into _send_via_matrix_adapter()
to avoid duplicating the media dispatch code between the two paths.
Fixes#46310
Fixes#28126. sync_skills() was unconditionally writing bundled skills
into the local <profile_home>/skills/ tree even when the profile's
config.yaml delegated skill resolution to an external directory
via skills.external_dirs. The skill loader then saw two candidates
for the same name (local shadow + external canonical), refused to
resolve on collision, and every worker that auto-loaded such a skill
crashed with 'Unknown skill(s): <name>'.
Changes:
- _build_external_skill_index() indexes skills available in external
dirs (by directory name and frontmatter name)
- sync_skills() skips writing a bundled skill when it finds the same
name in the external index; records the hash in the manifest so
subsequent syncs treat it as already handled
- Self-healing: removes stale local shadows left by prior buggy syncs
(only when origin_hash == bundled_hash == user_hash, i.e. we wrote
it and user didn't touch it)
- New 'shadowed_by_external' key in sync_skills() return dict
3 new tests in TestExternalDirsIndexing (all passing).
All 48 tests in test_skills_sync.py pass.
Closes#28126
The curator's LLM consolidation pass could archive whole clusters of
active skills with zero verified consolidations (#29912): a bare prune
(skill_manage delete with absorbed_into empty/omitted) from the forked
review agent was accepted, removing the skill's name from lookup even
though counts.consolidated_this_run was 0.
- _delete_skill now fails closed during the curator/background-review
pass: a delete is only allowed when it declares a verified
consolidation (absorbed_into=<umbrella>, umbrella must exist). A prune
with no forwarding target is refused; the skill stays active. The
deterministic inactivity prune (archive_skill) is unaffected.
- A verified consolidation delete during the curator pass now routes
through the recoverable archive primitive instead of shutil.rmtree, so
a misjudged consolidation can be undone with hermes curator restore.
The usage record is kept (state=archived) rather than forgotten.
- Foreground, user-directed deletes keep their existing hard-delete
semantics.
Follow-up to the cherry-picked #29212 (#29177):
- Promote the 24h stale-process threshold to config.yaml
(session_reset.bg_process_max_age_hours) instead of a hardcoded
constant. 0 disables the cutoff (legacy: any live process blocks reset).
Wired through GatewayConfig.default_reset_policy in gateway/run.py.
- Bug 2: process(action=list) now resolves the gateway session_key from
the contextvar and surfaces session-scoped background processes (a
forgotten preview server under a different task), flagged
session_scoped — so the agent/user can discover and kill the blocker.
Previously the task-scoped list returned [] and the blocker was invisible.
- Tests: config round-trip for the new field, cross-task list visibility.
- Docs: messaging session-reset section.
Background processes (e.g. http.server preview) that Hermes starts and
forgets about previously blocked session idle/daily reset indefinitely.
The reset guard in session.py checked has_active_for_session() with no
max age — a 3-day-old preview server blocked reset the same as a task
started 30 seconds ago.
Changes:
- Add max_active_age parameter to has_active_for_session() in
process_registry.py. Processes older than this threshold are ignored.
- Add MAX_ACTIVE_PROCESS_AGE constant (24h / 86400s).
- Wire max_active_age into the gateway's session store callback in
run.py so stale processes no longer block session lifecycle.
- Add debug logging when reset is skipped due to active processes.
- Add 3 tests covering recent, stale, and legacy (None) max age.
Fixes#29177
Subprocesses spawned outside the terminal/execute_code path (agent-browser,
copilot ACP, dep-ensure, lazy_deps uv install, TUI Node host, cli.exec)
inherited the operator's full credential environment via os.environ.copy().
The terminal path was already scrubbed by _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST
(#1002/#1264/#32314); these spawn sites bypassed it.
Adds hermes_subprocess_env(inherit_credentials=) in tools/environments/local.py
reusing the existing dynamic blocklist as the single source of truth:
- Tier 1 (_ALWAYS_STRIP_KEYS): gateway bot tokens, GitHub auth, infra
secrets -- stripped even for credential-inheriting children.
- Tier 2 (_HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST): provider/tool keys -- stripped
unless inherit_credentials=True. The opt-in is grep-able for audit.
Browser worker keeps a _BROWSER_PASSTHROUGH_KEYS allowlist (BROWSERBASE/
FIRECRAWL) re-added after the strip. Model-driving children (ACP, TUI Node
host, cli.exec) use inherit_credentials=True so they still get provider keys
while losing Tier-1 secrets. Installers (dep-ensure, lazy_deps) inherit
nothing sensitive. cua_backend already routed through _sanitize_subprocess_env
on main -- left as-is. Gateway adapter utility spawns (gh pr comment, ffmpeg)
are left inheriting env: gh needs GH_TOKEN by design, ffmpeg is a trusted
system binary -- no untrusted-dependency exposure.
This is defense-in-depth (personal-assistant trust model: same-user spawns),
making the existing scrub policy uniform across the spawn surface; the main
real payoff is shrinking the blast radius if a transitive npm dep in
agent-browser is compromised.

Three CI flakes hit while landing the credential-pool restore fix; all three
were timing/wall-clock races in the tests, not product bugs (each passes
locally and the assertions are correct):
- test_entire_tree_is_sigkilled_not_just_parent: _terminate_host_pid SIGKILLs
synchronously, but the test's 4s budget after a 1s in-function SIGTERM grace
left almost no slack for the kernel to tear down 3 processes + reparent the
children to zombies under loaded-CI scheduling. Widen the wait to 15s and
make the liveness predicate tolerant of vanished-pid / zombie races. The
assertion never weakens: every tree member must end up dead or zombie.
- test_session_resume_follows_compression_tip: appended messages got
time.time() timestamps (~now) while the test forced session started_at into
the past, so the get_compression_tip MAX(m.timestamp) tiebreaker depended on
wall-clock ordering. Pass explicit, well-separated message timestamps so the
chain resolution is deterministic by construction.
- test_non_retryable_exhaustion_arms_cooldown: asserted the short (5s)
exhaustion cooldown with a tight +1.0s slack, which false-fails when
wall-clock jitter between the 'before' snapshot and the cooldown computation
exceeds a second on a loaded runner. Widen to +30s — still cleanly below the
60s rate-limit window it must distinguish from.
The durable _last_known_cwd anchor is keyed by the shared 'default' container,
so a non-owning worktree session could inherit the owning session's cwd through
it — breaking the wrong-worktree-routing fix (test_file_tools_cwd_resolution::
test_resolution_routes_to_resolving_sessions_worktree).
Reorder _authoritative_workspace_root so the session-specific registered cwd
override (keyed by raw session id) is checked BEFORE the shared-container
_last_known_cwd fallback. A non-owning session now resolves into its own
registered worktree; the durable anchor only fills in when there's no
session-specific override (the #26211 single-session case). Adds a regression
test covering the owner-mirrors-then-other-session-resolves interaction.
Belt-and-suspenders on top of the cherry-picked cwd-preservation fix:
- Proactively mirror every live terminal cwd into _last_known_cwd on each
successful read, so the durable anchor survives even when the cleanup
thread pops both _file_ops_cache and _active_environments before
_get_file_ops' stale-cache save branch can fire.
- Fall back to _last_known_cwd in _authoritative_workspace_root. write_file_tool
resolves the path (via _resolve_path_for_task) BEFORE _get_file_ops rebuilds
the env, so restoring only the rebuilt env's cwd was insufficient — the
resolution that decides where the file lands runs first. This closes that gap.
The local env's persisted _cwd_file can't serve this role: it's keyed by a
random per-session uuid and deleted on cleanup (the same cleanup that triggers
the bug). The in-memory _last_known_cwd registry is the durable anchor instead.
Adds a real-IO E2E regression (TestSilentFileMisplacementE2E) exercising the
actual write_file_tool path after env cleanup.
Root cause: when the terminal environment (`_active_environments` entry) is
cleaned up and re-created during a long conversation, the new environment
always starts with the default config CWD (typically `~/.hermes/hermes-agent`)
instead of preserving the user's last-known working directory. Subsequent
relative-path writes (`write_file`, `execute_code`, shell commands) silently
land in the default CWD, making files appear to be "created but absent."
Fix: add `_last_known_cwd` dict that preserves the old environment's CWD
before the stale cache entry is invalidated. When a new environment is
created for the same task_id, we check `_last_known_cwd` first and use the
preserved CWD instead of the config default.
Changes:
- tools/file_tools.py: add `_last_known_cwd` dict, save CWD before stale
cache invalidation, restore CWD on env recreation
- tests/tools/test_file_tools.py: add `TestLastKnownCwd` with 2 tests
verifying CWD preservation and fallback behavior
Fixes#26211
A flaky external probe in a tool's check_fn (e.g. check_terminal_requirements
running `docker version` with a 5s timeout, momentarily timing out under load)
would return False for a single get_tool_definitions() call. Because file
tools delegate their check_fn to the terminal check, that one flake silently
stripped read_file/write_file/patch/search_files AND terminal from whatever
agent was being constructed at that instant — most visibly a delegate_task
subagent, which then reported "Tool read_file does not exist". This explains
both the intermittent (~80% success) user-session failures and the
deterministic cron failures in #21658 / #5304.
The existing _check_fn TTL cache made this worse: it cached the transient
False for the full 30s window, poisoning every subagent spawned in that span.
Fix: remember the last time each check_fn returned True; when a fresh probe
fails within a short grace window of that success, treat it as a flake —
serve the last-good True and do NOT cache the failure (so the next call
re-probes). A failure with no recent success, or past the grace window, is
honored normally so a backend that genuinely went down stops advertising its
tools. Probe failures now log at WARNING regardless of quiet mode, making the
previously-silent tool loss diagnosable in subagent (quiet) sessions.

* fix(windows): stop terminal-window popups from background spawns
Native-Windows desktop/gateway users saw cmd/conhost windows flash on
gateway restart, image paste, the dashboard Projects tree, voice notes,
and ~5 min after closing the app (detached cron). Two root causes:
- Console-subsystem exes (taskkill, schtasks, wmic, netstat, tasklist,
agent-browser, git, ffmpeg, powershell, git-bash) spawned via raw
subprocess allocate a fresh console when the launching process has
none (pythonw desktop backend / detached gateway) - even with output
captured.
- uv venv pythonw shims re-exec console python.exe, so Python children
get a console regardless of how they're launched.
Fixes:
- Single hidden-spawn primitive (_subprocess_compat.run/.popen) that ORs
CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows, no-op on POSIX. Route every Hermes-owned
console-exe spawn through it.
- FreeConsole() catch-all in hermes_bootstrap: any Python child that
exclusively owns an auto-allocated console detaches it at startup
(GetConsoleProcessList()==1 gate leaves shared interactive consoles
untouched).
- Replace PowerShell/wmic gateway PID scans with in-process psutil.
- Skip schtasks queries on non-interactive desktop restarts.
- Prefer native agent-browser .exe over .cmd shims.
- Guard test bans raw subprocess spawns of the Windows-only console
tools repo-wide so the popup class can't regress.
* fix(windows): scope FreeConsole to background entry points; fix merge fallout
Console detach review (per #53810 feedback): GetConsoleProcessList()==1 can't
tell a uv pythonw->python phantom console apart from a user opening the
interactive CLI/TUI in its own fresh console (double-click, shortcut, ConPTY) —
both report a single attached process with a tty. Running FreeConsole() in the
import-time bootstrap therefore risked detaching a legitimately-interactive
terminal.
- Extract FreeConsole into explicit hermes_bootstrap.detach_orphan_console();
remove it from apply_windows_utf8_bootstrap() (import side effect).
- Call it only from known background mains: gateway run, dashboard backend
(start_server, what the desktop spawns), cron standalone, tui_gateway entry,
slash worker. Interactive CLI/TUI never calls it.
- Behavior-contract tests: frees only when solo owner, leaves shared console,
no-op without console / on POSIX, and asserts it's not an import side effect.
Merge fallout from origin/main (#53791):
- local.py: 3-way merge left a dangling **_popen_kwargs (NameError crashing
every terminal init). _subprocess_compat.popen already hides the window, so
drop it.
- discord adapter: merge stacked an undefined windows_hide_flags() onto the
primitive call; drop the redundant arg.
- test_gateway: scan now goes psutil-first (zero spawn); rewrite the
case-variant test to drive that production path.
* test(claw): mock _subprocess_compat.run seam for Windows process scan
claw.py's Windows tasklist/powershell scan routes through the hidden-spawn
primitive; the tests still patched claw_mod.subprocess, so on win32 the mock
was never hit and real spawns returned nothing. Patch the actual seam.
The Hermes gateway runs inside its own venv, so its process environment
carries VIRTUAL_ENV (and possibly CONDA_PREFIX). The terminal tool spawned
subprocesses inheriting those markers. When the agent ran `uv sync`,
`uv pip install`, `poetry install`, etc. in ANY other project directory,
those tools honored the inherited VIRTUAL_ENV and rebuilt/synced that
project's dependencies into the Hermes venv path — wiping Hermes' own runtime
deps (and, when the other project pinned a different Python, replacing the
interpreter), bricking the gateway on the next restart (#23473).
Strip VIRTUAL_ENV/CONDA_PREFIX in both subprocess-env construction points in
tools/environments/local.py — `_sanitize_subprocess_env` and `_make_run_env`
— via a shared `_ACTIVE_VENV_MARKER_VARS` constant. The Hermes venv stays
reachable because its bin dir is already first on PATH, so removing the
active-environment markers is safe and only prevents the cross-project clobber.
Adds TestActiveVenvMarkerStripping: end-to-end (markers in os.environ don't
reach the spawned subprocess) and unit coverage for both functions, plus a
guard on the marker constant.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the salvaged contributor.
Closes#23473
check_all_command_guards() swallowed ImportError from tools.tirith_security
with an unconditional pass, leaving tirith_result["action"] as "allow"
regardless of security.tirith_fail_open. When an operator sets
tirith_fail_open: false they have explicitly opted into fail-closed
behaviour; a missing or broken Tirith module must not silently permit
command execution.
Inside the except ImportError handler, read the live security config.
When tirith_enabled is true and tirith_fail_open is false, synthesise a
"warn"-action Tirith result so the command flows through the normal
approval path (prompt the user, or block in cron/gateway contexts)
instead of bypassing it. The default tirith_fail_open: true behaviour
is unchanged.
Adds three regression tests to tests/tools/test_approval.py:
- fail_open=true + ImportError → silently allowed (no regression)
- fail_open=false + ImportError → approval callback invoked, command denied
- tirith_enabled=false → always allowed regardless of fail_open

Cron jobs accumulate large volumes of repetitive vocabulary (recurring
project names, dates, summaries) and out-number a user's interactive
sessions. Under bare BM25 they dominate the top FTS rows, so discover's
early-exit-at-N dedup collects only cron sessions and the user's own
conversations never surface — "recall blindness" (#19434).
- _order_for_recall() stable-sorts FTS rows so interactive sources rank
above cron before lineage dedup; within each class BM25/recency order
is preserved. Cron is demoted, not excluded, so it still surfaces when
it is the only match.
- raise discover scan limit 50 -> 300 so buried interactive matches are
in hand for the demotion pass.
Fixes the cron-flooding sub-bug of #19434. The split-brain sub-bug is
covered by #52798; the child-session sub-bug is superseded by in-place
compaction.
send_message with MEDIA:/path to a WhatsApp target previously dropped the
attachment: the WhatsApp branch never passed media_files, the plugin's
_standalone_send accepted the param but only POSTed text, and WhatsApp was
absent from the media-supported platform list.
- send_message_tool: add a Platform.WHATSAPP media block (mirrors Feishu) that
routes media_files through the whatsapp plugin's standalone_sender_fn, and
add whatsapp to the supported-media list strings.
- whatsapp adapter: _standalone_send now sends text first (skipped when the
chunk is media-only), then uploads each file via the bridge /send-media
endpoint with a mediaType derived from extension/is_voice/force_document, so
images/videos/voice arrive as native bubbles instead of documents.
- _bridge_media_type classifier maps ext -> image|video|audio|document.
Closes#19105 (remaining send_message gap). Other items in the report
(inbound video paths, image_generate auto-deliver, history dedup, native
gateway bubbles) already landed on main.
A long-running gateway session could permanently lose an MCP server: once a
stdio subprocess died (or transient drops accumulated over the session), the
run loop exhausted its reconnect budget and returned, orphaning the task. With
no listener for _reconnect_event, the circuit breaker's half-open probe could
never revive the server — every probe hit a dead/absent session, re-armed the
60s cooldown, and looped forever until a full gateway restart (#16788).
Root cause was split ownership of transport liveness between the run loop and
the tool handler, plus a permanent give-up path. Fixed by one invariant: a
non-shutdown server task is always reconnectable.
- run loop parks (deregisters phantom tools, then awaits _reconnect_event)
instead of returning when the reconnect budget is exhausted, so the task
stays alive as a dormant listener
- retry budget resets on every successful (re)connect, so a healthy
long-lived server can't accumulate lifetime drops into a death sentence
- half-open probe with no live session signals a reconnect (reviving a
parked/dead task and respawning a dead stdio subprocess) and returns a
clean 'reconnecting' error instead of writing into a dead pipe
- breaker resets on successful session init across all transports
(stdio/HTTP/SSE) — fully transport-agnostic, no PID/pipe polling
Builds on the closed-PR cluster for this issue: keeps #49255's deregister-on-
exhaustion insight and #21006's signal-don't-probe insight, discards the racy
os.kill PID machinery.

When an MCP server requires OAuth, the interactive `hermes` TUI froze on
startup: background MCP discovery hit the OAuth flow, which on an interactive
TTY spawns a daemon thread doing a blocking `sys.stdin.readline()` (the
"paste the redirect URL" fallback in mcp_oauth._wait_for_callback). That
thread competes with the TUI's own stdin reader for the same terminal, so
keystrokes get swallowed and the TUI appears frozen (up to the 300s OAuth
timeout). Reported symptom: "MCP OAuth: authorization required / Open this URL
... the tui is freezing, not respond to typing."
Add a thread-local `suppress_interactive_oauth()` context manager in
tools/mcp_oauth.py; `_is_interactive()` returns False while it's active, so the
stdin paste-thread and prompt are never created. Background discovery
(hermes_cli/mcp_startup.py, tui_gateway/entry.py) now runs discovery inside
that context, so OAuth-requiring servers soft-skip (raise
OAuthNonInteractiveError, already handled) instead of stealing the TUI's stdin.
A real `hermes mcp login` on the main thread is unaffected (thread-local).
Salvaged from #35945 by @zapabob (authorship preserved via cherry-pick;
resolved a conflict against main's new mcp_discovery_timeout / wait_for_mcp_
discovery refactor, keeping both). Verified E2E: with suppression the paste
prompt is NOT printed and no stdin thread spawns (raises OAuthNonInteractive
soft-skip); without it the prompt shows (the freeze). Mutation-verified
(removing the suppress check in _is_interactive fails the regression test).
76 tests pass, ruff clean.
Closes#35927.
SELF-REVIEW FIX: the original #35945 used threading.local(), which does NOT
propagate to the dedicated mcp-event-loop thread where OAuth actually runs
(discover_mcp_tools dispatches the connect via run_coroutine_threadsafe), so
the suppression was a NO-OP in production (the tests passed only by stubbing
out the cross-thread dispatch). Converted to a contextvars.ContextVar, which
asyncio copies onto the scheduled coroutine — empirically verified suppression
now holds on the mcp-event-loop thread through the real _run_on_mcp_loop path.
Added a cross-thread regression test (fails on threading.local, passes on the
ContextVar) so the no-op can't regress.
get_hermes_dir(new_subpath, old_name) returned the legacy <old_name>/
location as soon as it existed on disk — even when empty. When an empty
legacy stub is created on a profile that already has populated data at
the new consolidated <new_subpath>/ (install scaffolds, profile init, a
stray mkdir, or ensure_hermes_home() recreating legacy dirs), the
resolver silently flipped to the empty legacy dir and the real data
became invisible. No log, no error — the feature behaved as if state was
wiped. Reproduced as a Discord pairing store losing every approved user
when an empty pairing/ shadowed the populated platforms/pairing/.
Resolve the legacy path only when it has content: a populated directory
(any entry) or a non-directory file counts; an empty directory falls
through to the new layout. Inspection failures (PermissionError on
lstat/iterdir, or any OSError short of FileNotFoundError) are treated as
"occupied" so a transient error never orphans legacy data — only a
genuine FileNotFoundError counts as absent. The lstat()-based gate also
fixes the prior exists()/is_dir() path swallowing PermissionError and
mis-reading an unreadable legacy dir as absent.
This hardens all 11+ call sites that share the resolver (pairing,
image/audio/video/document caches, matrix/whatsapp session stores,
vision/credential/tts/browser dirs).
Adds TestGetHermesDir regression coverage (empty/populated/subdir/file/
unreadable/unstatable cases) and updates test_credential_files to
populate its legacy dirs so they still count as content.
Closes#27602Closes#27715
- Use os.pathsep instead of literal ':' so Windows paths (C:\dir) and
the Windows separator ';' work correctly.
- Add 9 tests covering multi-root behavior: writes inside first/second
root, writes outside all roots, trailing/leading/double separators,
all-separators edge case, static deny priority, duplicate dedup.
- Update hermes_cli/tips.py tip string to mention multiple paths.
- Update docs to mention os.pathsep / ; on Windows.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #49557.
preexec_fn=os.setsid runs Python code in the forked child before exec,
which is unsafe in multi-threaded processes (CPython docs). When the
Desktop gateway loads native libraries (onnxruntime, BLAS, provider SDKs)
with active thread pools, the fork can SIGSEGV before the child execs.
Replace all preexec_fn usage with start_new_session=True, which provides
the same setsid/process-group semantics without running Python in the
fork. This is already the pattern used throughout hermes_cli/gateway.py
and hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py.
Fixes#46789
The autonomous self-improvement review fork could still write to a pinned
skill — only external/bundled/hub-installed/protected-builtin skills were
guarded. The curator skips pinned skills from every auto-transition; the
review fork is the same kind of no-user-present actor and must too.
Adds a pin check to _background_review_write_guard so background-origin
edit/patch/delete/write_file/remove_file on a pinned skill are refused.
Stricter than the foreground _pinned_guard (delete-only) by design: with
no user in the loop there is no one to consent to an edit.
Fixes#25839
The dangerous-command approval layer already blocks `hermes gateway
(stop|restart)`, `pkill/killall hermes|gateway`, and `kill ... $(pgrep ...)`.
A reporter noted on #33071 that the agent can still achieve the same
effect by driving launchd directly against the gateway's service label
(`launchctl stop ai.hermes.gateway`, `launchctl kickstart -k
system/ai.hermes.gateway`, etc.) or by substituting `pidof` for `pgrep`
in the kill-expansion form.
This widens the "Gateway lifecycle protection" block in
`tools/approval.py` to cover both vectors:
- `launchctl (stop|kickstart|bootout|unload|kill|disable|remove)`
scoped to commands that target a Hermes label (`hermes`,
`ai.hermes`). Read-only inspection (`launchctl print …`,
`launchctl list`) and operations against unrelated labels remain
unflagged.
- `kill ... $(pidof …)` and the backtick form, alongside the existing
`pgrep` expansion. `pidof` is the BSD/Linux equivalent and is
equally opaque to the `(pkill|killall) … hermes` name pattern.
Intentionally left out of scope: plain `kill -TERM <numeric_pid>` with
a PID looked up out-of-band. Catching that would require runtime PID
state and would break the existing
`TestPgrepKillExpansion::test_safe_kill_pid_not_flagged` contract,
which guarantees that a plain literal-PID `kill 12345` stays safe.
Natural-language skill search returned a short, arbitrary list and never
surfaced NVIDIA (or OpenAI/Anthropic/HuggingFace) skills. Two causes:
1. The runtime index collapses every GitHub tap into source="github", so
there was no way to find or filter by provider at the CLI — the per-tap
identity only existed in the docs-site catalog.
2. HermesIndexSource.search matched only name/description/tags (not the
identifier or provider) and broke at the first `limit` hits in raw index
order, burying the most relevant skills. `search` also defaulted to
--limit 10 against an 86k-entry catalog.
Changes:
- GitHubSource stamps a per-tap provider label (extra.provider) on each
skill via github_provider_for(); source stays "github" so dedup/floor/
index-skip logic is untouched. Flows into the built index.
- HermesIndexSource.search now matches identifier + provider too, and
collect-then-ranks (exact > prefix > whole-word > substring) instead of
break-at-limit.
- --source nvidia|openai|anthropic|huggingface|voltagent|gstack|minimax
provider filters for browse/search (narrows merged results by provider).
- search --limit default 10 -> 25; table Source column shows the provider
label for github skills.
Tested: 181 unit tests pass; E2E against the live runtime index confirms
'nvidia'/'cuda' searches now surface NVIDIA-provider skills and
--source nvidia narrows to exactly the NVIDIA catalog.
The post-update gateway restart path relaunched the gateway with the
venv's console `python.exe` (via `get_python_path()` in
`_gateway_run_args_for_profile`). On Windows this leaves a terminal
window open permanently: uv's `venv\Scripts\python.exe` is a launcher
shim that re-execs the *base* console interpreter, which allocates its
own conhost — and `CREATE_NO_WINDOW` cannot suppress that second window.
The clean-start path (`_spawn_detached`) already dodges this by routing
through `_resolve_detached_python` to use the windowless base
`pythonw.exe`; the restart watcher did not.
Symptom (reported on Windows 11): after an in-app GUI update, a console
window for the gateway stays open and never closes. Confirmed on the
reporter's box — the running gateway was `python.exe ... gateway run
--replace` with a live conhost child and the foreground "Press Ctrl+C to
stop" banner, born exactly at the update's "Restarting Windows gateway"
log line.
Fix:
- Add `gateway_windows.windowless_gateway_restart_spec(run_argv)` which
rewrites a console-python gateway argv into the windowless `pythonw.exe`
equivalent and returns the cwd + env overlay (VIRTUAL_ENV / PYTHONPATH /
HERMES_HOME) the base interpreter needs to import `hermes_cli` without
the venv launcher's site config. No-op on POSIX.
- `_spawn_gateway_restart_watcher` now applies that rewrite on Windows and
threads cwd= / env= into the inlined respawn Popen. Covers both restart
entry points (`launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart` and
`launch_detached_gateway_restart_by_cmdline`). CREATE_NO_WINDOW |
DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB and the breakaway-denied
fallback are all preserved.
Verified E2E on a real Windows 11 box: drove the actual watcher against a
dummy old-pid; the respawned gateway came up as `pythonw.exe` (zero
console python, no conhost child) and booted fully (housekeeping + kanban
dispatcher started → imports resolved under the base interpreter).
Tests: TestWindowlessGatewayRestartSpec (behavior) +
TestGatewayDetachedWatcherWindowsFlags regression assert. Pre-existing
Linux-only failures on a Windows host (SIGKILL, systemd, docker-root)
confirmed identical on the bare base.
On macOS, terminal(background=true) silently failed: the process returned a
session_id and exit_code=0 but the command never ran (empty stdout, no side
effects). Root cause is two interacting issues:
1. _find_shell was aliased to _find_bash, which prefers `shutil.which("bash")`
→ /bin/bash (GNU bash 3.2, still shipped on macOS) over $SHELL (/bin/zsh).
2. process_registry.spawn_local runs [shell, "-lic", "set +m; <cmd>"] with
stdin=/dev/null. bash 3.2 as a login shell sources ~/.bash_profile, which on
many macOS setups contains `exec /bin/zsh -l`; that exec replaces bash but
drops the -c argument, so the command is swallowed (exit 0, no output).
Decouple _find_shell from _find_bash: _find_shell now prefers the user's
configured $SHELL on POSIX (the shell they actually log in with), falling back
to _find_bash when $SHELL is unset/missing. _find_bash is unchanged, so callers
that genuinely need bash (e.g. the _run_bash login-shell snapshot) keep bash
semantics. zsh handles -lic correctly even with redirected stdin.
Salvaged from #42219 by @liuhao1024 (authorship preserved via cherry-pick).
On top of the original (8 unit tests covering $SHELL-set/unset/missing/empty,
Windows-ignores-$SHELL, _find_bash-unchanged), added an E2E regression test
that reproduces the real bash-3.2 login-shell swallow (exit 0 / no file) and
asserts the shell _find_shell selects actually executes a -lic background
command. Mutation-verified: reverting _find_shell to the bash alias fails the
$SHELL-preference test. Bug reproduced directly: /bin/bash 3.2 -lic with a
.bash_profile->exec-zsh creates no file; zsh -lic does.
Closes#42203. Supersedes #42290.
Rebuilds the iron-proxy egress feature cleanly onto current main. The
original feat/iron-proxy branch had diverged from main with an
unmergeable history (no usable merge-base after main history motion),
so the feature's content diff was re-applied onto a fresh main cut and
the three config/docs conflicts (commands.py status/egress, config.py
proxy vs computer_use, slash-commands.md) resolved keeping main's
content plus the egress additions.
Optional, off-by-default TLS-intercepting egress proxy for remote
terminal sandboxes. Sandboxes hold opaque proxy tokens; iron-proxy
swaps them for real provider API keys at the network boundary.

The cron runtime tripwire (_scan_cron_prompt) used a 10-char invisible-unicode
set while the install-time scanner (threat_patterns.INVISIBLE_CHARS) flags 17.
The cron-local set was missing U+2062-U+2064 (invisible math operators) and
U+2066-U+2069 (directional isolates), so a directive obfuscated with one of
those codepoints (e.g. "ig<U+2063>nore all previous instructions") slipped past
the runtime cron gate while being caught at install time.
Import the canonical set so the cron tripwire and install scanner can't drift
apart again. Emoji-ZWJ protection (_zwj_has_emoji_neighbour) is unchanged.

The known_c2_framework threat pattern included 'praxis' in its
alternation alongside genuine offensive-security tool brands (Cobalt
Strike, Sliver, Havoc, Mythic, Metasploit, Brainworm). Unlike those
distinctive brand names, 'praxis' is a common English word (Greek for
practice/action) and a legitimate agent name, so any context file that
mentioned an agent named Praxis matched at 'context' scope and the whole
AGENTS.md / SOUL.md was replaced with a [BLOCKED] placeholder before it
reached the system prompt.
Remove 'praxis' from the alternation and add a guard comment: every
token in this list must be a distinctive tool brand, not a common word.
Real C2 brands still fire.
The new _maybe_flag_poisoned_client tests built a provider via
get_or_build_provider without an interactive stdin. Under the hermetic
test env (no TTY, no cached tokens), the non-interactive guard in
mcp_oauth_manager._make_provider raised OAuthNonInteractiveError before
the provider was built, failing 6 tests in CI parity (they passed
locally where stdin was a TTY).
Thread monkeypatch into _provider_with_token_endpoint and present an
interactive stdin, matching the sibling test_manager_builds_hermes_provider_subclass.
Fixes#36767.
Two complementary recoveries for the recurring "delete three cache files and
re-auth by hand" ritual when an MCP server's dynamically-registered OAuth
client goes dead server-side (IdP redeploy / DB wipe / rebrand):
- Auto-heal (token-endpoint subset): HermesMCPOAuthProvider now sniffs
auth-flow responses and, on a 400/401 `invalid_client` from the discovered
token endpoint, backs up + deletes `<server>.client.json` and `.meta.json`
and clears the in-memory client so the SDK re-runs RFC 7591 dynamic client
registration on the next flow. Conservative by construction: only
dynamically-registered (non config-supplied) clients, only the token
endpoint, only on a word-boundary `invalid_client` match (so RFC 7591's
`invalid_client_metadata` does not trip it); best-effort so a miss never
breaks the live flow. Covers both code-exchange and refresh when the token
endpoint was discovered. Tokens are preserved.
- `hermes mcp reauth [<name>|--all]`: the reporter's primary symptom — the
IdP's in-browser "Redirect URI Mismatch" — produces no HTTP signal (the SDK
only sees a callback timeout), so it cannot be auto-detected. The new
command re-auths one or ALL `auth: oauth` servers, serially: one browser
flow at a time, which also fixes the startup popup storm when several
servers are stale at once. Single-server reauth is factored out of
`mcp login` and shared.
Tests: +14 (poison helper x2; token-endpoint detection x5 incl. wrong-endpoint,
success-response, pre-registered, and invalid_client_metadata negative guards;
a bridge integration test driving the real async_auth_flow generator to prove
the detection hook preserves the bidirectional asend() forwarding contract;
reauth CLI x6). Verified against the pinned mcp==1.26.0: scripts/run_tests.sh
122/122 green for the touched suites; check-windows-footguns.py and ruff clean.

Force redact_sensitive_text(force=True) on the browser_type text arg so
recognized credentials (API keys, tokens, JWTs) are masked in tool
progress, previews, callbacks, and return payloads even when the global
security.redact_secrets opt-out is set — a typed credential reaching chat
history is a security boundary, not log hygiene. Normal typed text matches
no pattern and stays fully readable for debuggability.
Tests assert the API-key-shaped secret is masked across every surface and
that normal text passes through unchanged.
After a prolonged outage the in-process network-error ladder escalates to
fatal and GatewayRunner._platform_reconnect_watcher rebuilds a fresh adapter
that reconnects through the bootstrap path. That path called
start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True), discarding every update Telegram
queued during the outage — all messages sent while the bot was down were
silently lost. The in-process ladder and 409-conflict handler already passed
drop_pending_updates=False; only bootstrap did not distinguish a cold first
boot from a reconnect.
Thread an is_reconnect signal from the watcher through
_connect_adapter_with_timeout into adapter.connect(). The base
BasePlatformAdapter.connect() gains a keyword-only is_reconnect=False so every
adapter inherits a tolerant signature (no per-platform breakage when the
runner forwards the kwarg). Telegram translates is_reconnect into
drop_pending_updates=not is_reconnect on both the polling and webhook bootstrap
calls. Cold boot still drops the stale queue; a watcher reconnect preserves it.

The detector folds absolute home / Hermes-home prefixes into their canonical
~/ and ~/.hermes/ forms so static patterns catch /home/alice/.bashrc the same
way they catch ~/.bashrc (abd69b81). On native Windows this fold never fired,
so terminal commands writing to shell startup files, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys,
or ~/.hermes/config.yaml / .env returned "safe" and skipped the approval
prompt — and config.yaml carries the approval policy itself.
Two compounding causes:
1. The fold ran after the backslash-escape strip (r\m -> rm), which dissolves
the backslash separators in a Windows path (C:\Users\alice\.bashrc ->
C:Usersalice...) before the fold could match. It now runs before the strip.
2. The fold only recognized POSIX absolute paths and only the home prefix,
leaving multi-segment backslash suffixes (\.ssh\authorized_keys) to be
mangled by the strip.
Consolidated into _home_prefix_fold_regex / _fold_home_prefixes: match a home
prefix with either separator, capture the rest of the path token, and
normalize its separators to / so multi-segment patterns match. The
degenerate-path guard generalizes count("/") >= 2 to "at least two components
below the root" (also rejecting a bare drive root C:\). HOME is consulted
directly because Windows' expanduser ignores it; the more specific Hermes home
is folded first, longest candidate first, so neither fold clobbers the other.
POSIX behavior unchanged; the r\m -> rm anti-obfuscation strip still runs.
Adds TestWindowsAbsolutePathFolding, which monkeypatches a Windows-style
HOME/HERMES_HOME so the behavior is also exercised on the CI runner.
* feat(moa): expose MoA presets as selectable virtual models
Reconstructed onto current main (PR #46081's base had diverged with no common
ancestor, marking the PR dirty so CI never dispatched). MoA is now a virtual
provider: each named preset is a selectable model under provider 'moa', and the
preset's aggregator is the acting model that answers and calls tools.
Reference models fan out in parallel via a bounded ThreadPoolExecutor (the same
batch pattern delegate_task uses) — all references dispatched at once, collected
when every one finishes, then handed to the aggregator. Output order is
preserved, failures and the MoA-recursion guard stay isolated per reference.
- Removed the old mixture_of_agents model tool and moa toolset.
- Added moa as a virtual provider in the provider/model inventory.
- /moa is shortcut behavior over model selection (default preset / named preset
/ one-shot prompt).
- Dashboard + Desktop manage named presets; presets appear in model pickers.
- Parallel reference fan-out in agent/moa_loop.py with regression test.
* fix(moa): thread moa_config through _run_agent to _run_agent_inner
The reconstructed gateway MoA wiring declared moa_config on _run_agent (the
profile-scoping wrapper) and used it inside _run_agent_inner, but the wrapper
never forwarded it — _run_agent_inner had no such parameter, so the runtime hit
NameError: name 'moa_config' is not defined on the compression-failure session
sync path. Add moa_config to _run_agent_inner's signature and forward it from
both wrapper call sites (multiplex and non-multiplex). Caught by
tests/gateway/test_compression_failure_session_sync.py on CI shard test(4).
* fix(moa): classify moa as a virtual provider in the catalog
The moa virtual provider has no PROVIDER_REGISTRY/ProviderProfile entry, so
provider_catalog() fell through to the default auth_type="api_key" with no
env vars — tripping two catalog invariants:
- test_provider_catalog: api_key providers must expose a credential env var
- test_provider_parity: every hermes-model provider must be desktop-configurable
moa already declares auth_type="virtual" in HERMES_OVERLAYS; consult that
overlay as an auth_type fallback so the catalog reports moa as virtual (no real
credential, no network endpoint). Exempt virtual providers from the desktop
parity union check the same way 'custom' is exempt — derived from the catalog,
not a hardcoded slug, so future virtual providers are covered too.
The trailing-whitespace expansion in _map_normalized_positions
unconditionally consumed whitespace after the matched region — including
the word-boundary space that separates the match from the next token.
This caused silent file corruption when the fuzzy matcher fell back to
the whitespace_normalized strategy.
Guard the expansion on the normalized match actually ending with
whitespace (i.e. the original had a run of spaces that were collapsed).
When the match ends with a non-space character, the first whitespace in
the original is a boundary and must not be consumed.
Fixes#52491
todo_tool crashed with `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'`
when the LLM emitted the `todos` param as a JSON-encoded string instead of an
array, or as a list containing non-dict items (observed intermittently on
Claude 4.5/4.6/4.7, and after a prior tool-call rejection where the model
"self-corrects" by wrapping the list in json.dumps).
Three additive guards, no behavior change for well-formed input:
- todo_tool(): if `todos` is a str, json.loads it; reject unparseable strings
and non-list values with a clear tool_error instead of crashing downstream.
- _validate(): non-dict items return a {id:"?", content:"(invalid item)"}
placeholder rather than calling .get() on a str/int/None.
- _dedupe_by_id(): non-dict items get a synthetic key so _validate handles them.
Salvaged from #14785 by @Tranquil-Flow (authorship preserved via cherry-pick).
Comprehensive tests: JSON-string coercion (parse / unparseable / non-list /
non-string), non-dict list items (str/None/int/mixed), and a well-formed-
unchanged regression class — both guards mutation-verified to fail without them.
Closes#14185. Supersedes #14187, #22505, #14350 (same fix, less/no test
coverage) and #16952 (bundled unrelated scope-creep).
During stdio MCP server startup, _run_stdio (an async method) called the
synchronous check_package_for_malware() inline. That makes a blocking
urllib HTTPS POST to api.osv.dev whose own timeout doesn't reliably cover a
stalled SSL handshake, so an intermittent network issue froze the entire
asyncio event loop for up to ~120s — blowing past the TUI/gateway's 15s
startup budget and showing "gateway startup timeout".
Run the check via asyncio.to_thread (off the loop) AND bound it with
asyncio.wait_for(timeout=_OSV_MALWARE_CHECK_TIMEOUT_S=12s). The malware check
is fail-open, so on timeout we log and proceed rather than blocking startup.
Salvaged from #29190 by @qdaszx (re-applied on current main — the call site

check and timeout-fails-open — both mutation-verified to fail against the old
inline blocking call.

terminal_tool() resolves a per-task cwd override that WINS over config["cwd"]:
cwd = overrides.get("cwd") or config["cwd"]
config["cwd"] is sanitized for container backends in _get_env_config() (host
prefixes /Users//home//C:\\/C:/ and relative paths are replaced with the
backend default /root). But the override was applied RAW — it was never run
through that guard. The gateway/TUI registers the host launch dir as a cwd
override for workspace tracking (tui_gateway/server.py _register_session_cwd
-> _terminal_task_cwd -> _session_cwd -> os.getcwd()), so on a container
backend a host path leaked straight to `docker run -w <host-path>`:
- Windows desktop: -w C:\Users\<user> -> container fails to start (exit 125)
- POSIX: -w /home/<user> -> same
The ACP adapter translates its override cwd (acp_adapter/session.py
_translate_acp_cwd), but the gateway path did neither translation nor
sanitization, so the override bypassed the one guard that would have caught it.
Fix: extract the host/relative-path predicate into a shared
_is_unusable_container_cwd() helper (so the existing _get_env_config()
sanitizer and the new guard can't drift), and re-apply it to the *resolved*
cwd at the override-resolution site. Valid in-container override paths
(RL/benchmark sandboxes that set cwd to /workspace, /root, ...) are absolute
non-host paths and pass through untouched.
Tests: unit-pin the predicate (Windows backslash/forwardslash, POSIX home,
macOS /Users, relative, valid container paths) AND an E2E call-site pin that
drives terminal_tool() with a host-path override registered and asserts the
cwd reaching _create_environment is sanitized. Mutation-verified: reverting
the call-site guard makes the two host-path E2E tests fail (showing the raw
host path leaking) while the valid-/workspace-override test stays green.
Stabilize the long-running-tool heartbeat test by patching stale thresholds inside the test and asserting the heartbeat exceeds the idle ceiling, which preserves intent while removing scheduler-sensitive assumptions that flake in CI.
CI test shard has no PyPI egress: the real 'pip install packaging==20.9'
in test_core_package_is_not_shadowed failed (the pypi.org reachability
probe passed but the actual install didn't), failing slice 2/6.
- Prove the anti-shadow invariant deterministically: synthesize a fake
'packaging' in the durable target with a sentinel and assert the import
still resolves to the core copy (TestCoreNeverShadowed). No network.
- Cover the install wire offline: stub subprocess and assert --target +
--constraint are built in durable mode and absent in venv-scoped mode
(TestInstallArgConstruction).
- Gate the genuine PyPI install behind HERMES_RUN_NETWORK_TESTS=1 (opt-in,
skipped in CI) instead of a flaky reachability probe that doesn't predict
install success.
The published Docker image seals the agent venv (root-owned, read-only
/opt/hermes) and sets HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS=1 so a runtime install
can't mutate and brick the core. But opt-in backends (Firecrawl web search,
Exa, Feishu, ...) deliberately keep their SDKs in tools/lazy_deps.py and out
of [all] (pyproject policy 2026-05-12: one quarantined release must not break
every install). The two policies collided: the SDK isn't baked in AND can't
lazy-install, so the default Firecrawl web_search/web_extract fail out of the
box in Docker (#51136), as do Exa (#49445) and Feishu (#50205).
Fix the whole class instead of baking in one backend: when
HERMES_LAZY_INSTALL_TARGET is set, lazy installs are redirected to a writable
dir on the durable /opt/data volume via `pip/uv install --target`, and that
dir is APPENDED to the end of sys.path. Because the core venv always wins
name collisions, a package installed this way can only ADD new modules — it
can never shadow, downgrade, or break a module the core ships. The worst a
bad/incompatible backend package can do is fail to import and report itself
unavailable; the agent core stays healthy. That structural guarantee is what
made it safe to seal the venv, and it is preserved here even with installs
re-enabled.
- tools/lazy_deps.py: durable-target mode — `--target` install + core-pinned
`--constraint` file (shared deps resolve to core's versions, conflicts fail
loudly at install time), append-only sys.path activation, ABI/Python-version
stamp that wipes the store if an image rebuild bumps the interpreter, and a
reworked gate so HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS=1 redirects (rather than hard-
blocks) when a target is set. security.allow_lazy_installs=false still
disables installs in every mode.
- hermes_bootstrap.py: activate the durable target on sys.path at first import
(before any backend imports its SDK) so packages installed on a previous run
are importable on this run.
- Dockerfile: set HERMES_LAZY_INSTALL_TARGET=/opt/data/lazy-packages.
- docker/stage2-hook.sh: seed + chown the dir on the data volume.
- tests: real-install E2E proving installs land in the target, import cleanly,
don't leak into the sealed venv, and that a core package is never shadowed;
ABI-stamp wipe/preserve; gate matrix; Dockerfile/stage2 contract test.
Fixes#51136
When tempfile.mkdtemp() raises OSError (e.g. disk full), the exception
propagated past the try/finally block, so _mark_install_failed() was
never called. The 24h backoff marker never engaged, causing unbounded
retry on every command -- each attempt leaked a tirith-install-* temp
directory, eventually filling /tmp completely.
Fix: wrap mkdtemp in its own try/except OSError, returning
(None, "no_space") so the caller's normal failure path (including
_mark_install_failed) executes.

A single ddgs (DuckDuckGo) search could hang indefinitely and block the
shared agent loop — and therefore every platform (CLI, Telegram, Matrix...).
The DDGS constructor's timeout only bounds individual HTTP requests; ddgs's
multi-engine retry loop has no overall cap, so a slow/rate-limited response
could spin for 20+ minutes with no output and no error.
Run the synchronous ddgs call in a single-worker ThreadPoolExecutor and cap
it with future.result(timeout=_SEARCH_TIMEOUT_SECS=30). On timeout, return a
clear failure ("DuckDuckGo search timed out ... try a different provider")
instead of blocking; the pool is shut down with cancel_futures so a hung
worker is never awaited.
Salvaged from #37422 by @uzunkuyruk (authorship preserved). Re-applied on
current main (the PR's provider.py base had diverged). Added a load-bearing
timeout regression test (the original PR only updated the fake's constructor
and had no timeout-behavior test) — mutation-verified to fail without the cap.
Closes#36776.
_strip_blocked_tools used a hardcoded set missing 'cronjob'. Children
on gateway platforms could inherit the cronjob toolset, scheduling
persistent jobs that outlive the delegation despite DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS.
Fix: derive the strip set from DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS at runtime so the
two lists can never drift. Add 'cronjob' to DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS for
documentation consistency. Two regression tests lock the invariant.
Salvaged from #43687 by @riyas22. Adapted test to current main (no
'messaging' toolset exists -- send_message is intentionally not
registered as an agent tool).
Closes#43466
The drift guard (introduced for #26045) correctly protects replace/remove
from clobbering un-roundtrippable content, but it also fires on the add
path. Since add only appends and never overwrites, the guard is
unnecessary and causes false positives when prior add() calls in the same
session shift the byte count of the on-disk file.
Add skip_drift parameter to _reload_target() and pass True from add().
Replace/remove continue to use the drift guard unchanged.

After `hermes update`, a globally-installed agent-browser's npm postinstall
(fixUnixSymlink) re-points the global symlink (e.g. /opt/homebrew/bin/agent-browser)
at our local node_modules binary. The next update wipes node_modules, leaving a
dangling symlink that `which` still reports but exec fails on with exit 127 —
silently breaking every browser tool (#48521).
Root cause is trust-on-presence: shutil.which/Path.exists accept a name that
resolves but won't run. Add hermes_constants.agent_browser_runnable() (resolves
the path + runs --version) and gate all four resolution sites on it:
_find_agent_browser now skips a dead candidate and falls through to the next
working one (extended PATH -> local .bin -> npx), self-healing the dangling link.
dep_ensure/doctor/nous_subscription validate too; doctor warns on a broken link.
Closes#48521.
deliver=origin (or omitted) from a TUI or classic-CLI session produces a
job with origin=null, because those sessions never populate the
HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM/CHAT_ID context vars that _origin_from_env reads.
The scheduler then resolves no delivery target and skips delivery — the
job runs and saves output to last_output, but nothing reaches the user
and they only find out by polling cronjob(action='list') (#51568).
This is by design (local sessions have no live-delivery channel), so the
fix surfaces it instead of silently dropping the intent:
- cronjob create now appends an informational notice to its result when
a created job resolves to zero delivery targets and the user did not
explicitly ask for deliver='local'. The check uses the scheduler's own
_resolve_delivery_targets so it accounts for origin, home channels,
'all', and explicit platform targets — no false positives.
- PLATFORM_HINTS gains a 'tui' entry (the TUI had none) and the 'cli'
hint now states that cron jobs from these sessions are local-only and
that deliver must target a gateway-connected platform to notify the
user. This stops the agent promising a delivery that never happens.
No scheduler/delivery behavior change; no new env var; cron isolation
invariant untouched.
Adds the #51579 regression test the issue asked for: run the real
docker_config_migrate.py boot path twice (host-reboot scenario under
--restart unless-stopped) and assert $HERMES_HOME/.env survives
byte-for-byte and the second boot is a no-op (no re-migration, no new
backup). Exercises real migrate_config + real file I/O via subprocess.
/reload-mcp -> shutdown_mcp_servers -> _kill_orphaned_mcp_children(include_active=True)
-> _send_signal -> killpg(pgid, SIGTERM). When a tracked MCP stdio child shares
the gateway's OWN process group, killpg delivers SIGTERM to the gateway itself,
firing its SIGTERM handler -> os._exit(0): /reload-mcp crashes the gateway.
Pre-compute the gateway's own pgid (os.getpgrp(), None on Windows/restricted)
and, in _send_signal, skip killpg when pgid == own pgid, falling through to the
per-pid os.kill path so the child is still reaped without self-signaling.
Adds a regression test (folded in) that pins the guard: with a tracked pgid
equal to the gateway's own pgid, killpg is never called for that pgid and the
per-pid kill fallback is used. Mutation-checked.

File tools (read_file, write_file, patch, list_directory, etc.) used
os.path.expanduser() which reads the gateway process HOME env var.
In Docker/systemd/s6 deployments where the gateway HOME differs from
interactive sessions, tilde expanded to the wrong directory.
Add _expand_tilde() helper that delegates to get_subprocess_home() when
available, falling back to os.path.expanduser(). Replace all 9
expanduser() call sites in file_tools.py with _expand_tilde().
Follow-up to the /memory approve fresh-store fix. Both the CLI fallback and
the messaging-gateway handler built a bare MemoryStore() with the hardcoded
default char limits (2200/1375), ignoring the user's configured
memory.memory_char_limit / user_char_limit. A live agent honors those
overrides (agent/agent_init.py), so an approval applied without a live agent
could accept a write the user's lower cap would reject, or vice versa.
Extract a shared tools.memory_tool.load_on_disk_store() factory that reads
the configured limits (falling back to defaults if config can't load) and
wire both the CLI and gateway handlers to it, closing the gap on both
surfaces and de-duplicating the construction block.
The CLI /memory slash handler (cli_commands_mixin._handle_memory_command)
passed self.agent._memory_store straight through, which is None when the
command runs without a live agent — e.g. /memory approve from the Desktop
GUI. The shared write-approval handler then returns "memory store
unavailable" and applies nothing, even with built-in memory enabled and
pending writes present.
Fall back to a freshly loaded on-disk MemoryStore when no live store is
available, mirroring the gateway path (gateway/slash_commands.py). It
persists to the same MEMORY/USER.md and creates MEMORY.md on the first
approved write.

capture(app='screen'|'desktop') now resolves to the OS shell/desktop
window (Windows Progman/WorkerW desktop or Shell_TrayWnd taskbar, macOS
Finder/Dock) so 'show me my screen' and 'click the taskbar' work.
Previously capture() only matched application windows, and the schema
advertised 'or the whole screen' without any code path delivering it.
cua-driver is window-oriented (no virtual-desktop or per-monitor MCP
tool), so a single image still cannot span multiple monitors — the
schema now states this and the no-desktop-window path returns a clear
message instead of silently grabbing the frontmost app.
cua-driver 0.6.x removed the standalone screenshot MCP tool, so
capture(mode='vision') hit 'Unknown tool: screenshot' and returned a
0x0 image with no PNG while som/ax (which use get_window_state) still
worked. Route vision through get_window_state(capture_mode='vision').
Salvaged from PR #50771; same fix submitted earlier as #39262 by

Make the computer_use toolset platform-agnostic by driving cua-driver on

(capability discovery, structuredContent AX tree, opaque element_token,

structured list_windows, structured health_report), each degrading
gracefully on older drivers.
Adds `hermes computer-use doctor` (drives cua-driver health_report with a
per-OS check matrix and an exit 0/1/2 ok/degraded/blocked contract), full
typed wrappers for the previously-uncovered cua-driver tools plus a generic
call_tool escape hatch, per-session agent-cursor lifecycle, platform-aware

terminal.docker_extra_args passes flags verbatim to `docker run` (e.g.
--gpus=all, --shm-size=16g). It was wired into DEFAULT_CONFIG,
TERMINAL_CONFIG_ENV_MAP (so `hermes config set` bridged it),
terminal_tool._get_env_config (reads TERMINAL_DOCKER_EXTRA_ARGS), and
DockerEnvironment (applies extra_args) -- but it was MISSING from cli.py's
env_mappings and gateway/run.py's _terminal_env_map.
Consequence: a user who hand-edits config.yaml (rather than running
`hermes config set`) has docker_extra_args silently dropped on the CLI and
gateway/desktop startup paths, while docker_image / docker_volumes (which
ARE in those maps) bridge correctly -- producing the reported 'Hermes
partially reads the Docker config' symptom where --gpus=all and
--shm-size=16g never reach docker run.
This is the same bridge-coverage bug class that shipped before for
docker_run_as_host_user (cli + gateway) and docker_mount_cwd_to_workspace
(gateway). Fix by adding the key to both maps, plus a dedicated regression
pin in test_terminal_config_env_sync.py mirroring the existing
test_docker_*_is_bridged_everywhere guards.
Plugins shelling out to bare `hermes` via the terminal tool hit
`command not found` (exit 127) when the gateway was launched without the
hermes install dir on PATH (systemd, service managers, cron, desktop
launchers) — even though `hermes` works in the user's own interactive
terminal, which sources the shell rc that exports that dir.
The terminal tool's subshell PATH was the agent process PATH plus a
static set of system dirs (_SANE_PATH); it never included wherever the
hermes console-script actually lives (~/.local/bin, the venv bin/Scripts,
pipx, nix). Resolve that dir once (which/argv0/sys.executable) and
prepend-if-missing it so bare `hermes` resolves regardless of launch
method.
Live testing against a real SIGTERM-ignoring process TREE (parent + children,
the agent-browser daemon + renderer shape) revealed psutil.wait_procs's
gone/alive partition mis-handles a parent/child tree: it reaps via
Process.wait() and could mark targets gone/alive inconsistently across the
tree, leaving survivors un-killed (flaky — sometimes the parent lived,
sometimes a child). Replace it with: sleep out the grace window, then
directly re-probe every captured target (_proc_alive, treating zombies as
dead) and SIGKILL any that's still running. Add a multi-child-tree regression
test. 6/6 escalation tests green across repeated runs; the real-tree E2E now
kills the full tree 6/6 runs.
A daemon that ignores or stalls in its SIGTERM handler currently survives the
process-registry reap and leaks until reboot (observed as agent-browser
daemons accumulating to EMFILE on long-running gateways). _terminate_host_pid
now snapshots the tree, SIGTERMs it, waits a bounded grace window
(terminal.daemon_term_grace_seconds, default 2.0s, 0 disables), then SIGKILLs
any survivor. The recycled-PID identity guard still gates the whole path, so
escalation never reaches a stranger; Windows is unchanged (taskkill /F is
already a hard kill).
Config lives in config.yaml (terminal.daemon_term_grace_seconds), NOT an env
var, per the .env-secrets-only policy.
Implements the SIGKILL-escalation idea from @tkwong's #15008, reworked onto the
current _terminate_host_pid tree-kill path (the original predated it) and
config-gated instead of env-var-gated.

The background-process registry signalled host PIDs (recovery adoption,
detached-session kill, tree-kill) using a number captured at spawn, guarded
only by a bare liveness check. Once a session's process exits and is reaped the
kernel recycles that PID onto an unrelated process, so an alive-but-different
PID passed the check and got tree-killed.
Observed in the wild: a recycled background-session PID landed on Firefox's
session leader; a later kill/refresh walked its process tree and SIGTERMed
every tab — Firefox "closing" at irregular intervals with no crash/coredump.
This is the same PID/PGID-recycling class fixed for the MCP orphan reaper in
7bd1f8a2d, but the process_registry subsystem was never guarded — so the bug
persisted.
Fix: record each host process's kernel start time (/proc/<pid>/stat field 22)
at spawn, persist it in the checkpoint, and re-validate it before every signal
via `_host_pid_is_ours`. A PID whose start time no longer matches — or that is
gone — is never signalled:
- recover_from_checkpoint: a recycled PID is not adopted as a session.
- _refresh_detached_session: a recycled detached PID is marked exited.
- kill_process / _terminate_host_pid: refuse to tree-kill a stranger.
Legacy checkpoints and platforms without /proc (no baseline) degrade to the
prior best-effort liveness behaviour, so nothing else changes.
Adds TestPidReuseGuard: real-process tests proving a mismatched start time
refuses termination while a matching one still kills, plus recovery/refresh
recycling paths. 74 registry + 22 MCP-stability tests green.

The kanban-worker and kanban-orchestrator bundled skills existed only to
be force-loaded into dispatcher-spawned workers, gated by
environments:[kanban] so they wouldn't leak into normal CLI listings.
That gating was fragile (the leak that #50443 patched) and the
--skills auto-load was already best-effort — most workers ran without it
because the bundled skill isn't present in profile-scoped skills dirs.
Remove the skills entirely and promote their load-bearing content
(workspace kinds, deliverable artifacts, created-card integrity, profile
discovery) into KANBAN_GUIDANCE, which is already injected into every
kanban worker's system prompt. Net result: every worker reliably gets
the guidance, nothing can leak into a CLI/blank-slate session, and the
gating machinery is gone.
- agent/prompt_builder.py: promote the 4 load-bearing rules into KANBAN_GUIDANCE
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: drop --skills kanban-worker auto-injection + _kanban_worker_skill_available probe
- hermes_cli/kanban_swarm.py: drop skills=[kanban-orchestrator] on the root card
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: drop kanban-init skill seeding; fix help text
- delete skills/devops/kanban-{worker,orchestrator}
- docs: delete the two skill pages (EN+zh), fix sidebars/catalog/kanban.md/kanban-worker-lanes.md and the video-orchestrator + codex-lane references
- tests: update spawn-argv expectations; re-bound the guidance-size guard
Supersedes the skill-leak half of #50443 (credit @helix4u for flagging the area).
The browser orphan reaper reads a daemon PID from a `.pid` file in a
world-writable, predictably-named temp dir (`/tmp/agent-browser-h_*`) it
does not write itself, then tree-kills that PID via `_terminate_host_pid`
after only a liveness check. A same-user actor could plant a fake socket
dir whose `.pid` points at an arbitrary victim process, and OS PID reuse
after the real daemon exits could land the recorded PID on an unrelated
process — either way an arbitrary same-user process (and its whole tree)
gets SIGTERMed. Local DoS.
Add `_verify_reapable_browser_daemon()`, gated before the kill: via psutil
(a hard dep, fine cross-platform for the same-user processes the reaper can
signal) require both (1) identity — `agent-browser` in the process
name/cmdline — and (2) binding — the live process references *this* session's
socket dir in its cmdline or `AGENT_BROWSER_SOCKET_DIR`. The binding check is
the real spoof defense: a planted/recycled PID won't embed our exact socket
path. Fail-closed on any ambiguity (unreadable cmdline, no match), leaving the
process and its socket dir untouched for a later sweep.
Builds on @sgaofen's fix in #14394 (cmdline identity check); rewritten to use
psutil instead of `/proc`+`ps` (cross-platform, Windows-covered) and to add
the session-socket-dir binding check for recycled-PID / spoof resistance.

Follow-up to the salvaged #25961 fix: regression tests asserting that
scope-bearing IPv6 addresses (fe80::1%eth0, ::1%lo) are blocked by
is_safe_url after the scope is stripped, that a still-unparseable address
fails closed, and that a scoped IPv4-mapped IMDS address is caught by the
always-blocked floor.
- Add thread-scoped regression test: interrupt on the waiting thread resolves
the approval as deny well under the 300s timeout; a foreign-thread interrupt
does NOT release the wait (interrupts are per-thread).
- Add panghuer023 to AUTHOR_MAP for the salvaged #37994 fix.
The read_file device guard now walks symlink hops before the file operation
layer, but that hop walk still interpreted relative paths against the Python
process cwd. In sessions where TERMINAL_CWD points at the task workspace, a
relative workspace symlink to a blocked alias such as /dev/../dev/stdin could
therefore miss the intermediate device target before later task-cwd resolution.
Anchor relative device checks to the task base before symlink-hop inspection so
the pre-I/O guard sees the same workspace path that read_file would otherwise
read. Absolute device paths and the existing final realpath fallback remain
unchanged.
Refs #10141
Refs #29158
The salvaged #19820 unifies the write_file guard under
_is_internal_file_tool_content with the message 'internal read_file
display text'. Two tests added to test_file_read_guards.py after the PR
branch point still asserted the old 'status text' wording. Update them
to match the new (correct, more general) message.
Funnel session finalization through AIAgent.close() — the single terminal
path every agent (CLI, gateway, subagent, cron) funnels through — so finished
agents stop leaving rows with ended_at IS NULL. The biggest leak source was
delegate_task subagent + background-review forks whose close() never ended
their row.
end_session() is first-reason-wins and no-ops on an already-ended row, so a
'compression'/'cron_complete'/'cli_close' reason set by an earlier terminal
path is never clobbered. /resume already calls reopen_session(), so
finalizing-on-close does not break resumability.
Temporary helper agents that rotate/share the session forward (manual
compression, gateway session-hygiene) opt out via _end_session_on_close=False.
Also stop the long-running gateway heartbeat once the executor is done or the
session slot is rebound to a different agent, preventing a stale
'running: delegate_task' bubble from outliving its run.
Closes#12029.
Follow-up to @de1tydev's poll-read-only fix. Removing the
_completion_consumed.add() from poll() fixes the gateway/tui watcher
suppression (#10156) but reintroduces the CLI duplicate that #8228 fixed:
a notify_on_complete process always enqueues a completion event, and the
CLI idle/post-turn drain would re-inject it as a [SYSTEM: ...] message
even though the agent already saw the exit inline in its poll result.
Add a separate _poll_observed set that poll() populates on an observed
exit. drain_notifications() (CLI only) skips poll-observed sessions; the
gateway/tui watchers keep checking only is_completion_consumed, so a
read-only poll never suppresses their autonomous delivery turn.
- _poll_observed pruned alongside _completion_consumed in _prune_if_needed
- 4 tests: CLI drain dedup after poll, gateway gate untouched, running
poll doesn't mark observed, wait/log still skip CLI drain
Security-hardening fix for the read_file device guard, not a new sandbox
boundary. The guard already rejects direct device paths and upstream now
has a resolved-path pass for workspace symlinks to blocked devices, but
its concrete-path helper still compared the expanded path before
normalization. That leaves residual alias cases where the dangerous path
is visible before final terminal-specific resolution, for example:
1. /dev/../dev/zero and /dev/./urandom should match the blocked-device
list as concrete paths, not only after final realpath;
2. /dev/stdin-style aliases can disappear once realpath follows them
to /proc/self/fd/0 and then to a tty path;
3. a user symlink to /dev/../dev/stdin exposes the dangerous
intermediate target before final resolution, but not necessarily
after it.
Normalize expanded paths before matching and inspect each symlink hop
before falling back to realpath. This preserves the existing /proc fd and
/proc pseudo-file guards while enforcing the intended security invariant:
model-supplied read paths must not reach blocking or infinite device
streams through spelling, normalization, or symlink-hop tricks.
Classification: security hardening / residual bypass fix for the
read_file device blocklist. This is defensive code at the file-tool
boundary, but it fixes a concrete denial-of-service class tracked as
security in #10141 and #29158.
Tests:
- normalized /dev/../dev/zero and /dev/./urandom aliases
- symlink to /dev/../dev/stdin blocked before realpath
- existing symlink-to-device and regular-symlink guards still pass

When terminal.backend is docker/modal/daytona/ssh/singularity, the
terminal runs in a sandboxed container with network isolation, but the
browser still runs on the host. The SSRF guard was skipped because
_is_local_backend() only checked browser.cloud_provider, not the
terminal backend.
Now _is_local_backend() also checks TERMINAL_ENV — when the terminal
is containerized, the browser is treated as non-local and SSRF
protection is enabled.
Fixes#38690
The tool-result persistence budget was a fixed 100K chars/result and 200K
chars/turn regardless of the active model. On a small-context model (e.g. a
65K-token local model switched into mid-session) a single large tool result
(reporter: a 279K-char search result) or a full 200K-char turn (~50K tokens)
could by itself approach or exceed the window, forcing an oversized request
that the provider rejects as "Prompt too long".
- budget_config.budget_for_context_window() scales per-result/per-turn char
caps to a fraction of the model window, clamped to the historical 100K/200K
defaults (large models unchanged) and floored so small models stay usable.
- resolve_threshold() now caps the per-tool registry value at default_result_size
so tools that register a fixed 100K cap (web/terminal/x_search) don't re-inflate
a scaled-down budget. No-op for the default budget (both 100K).
- tool_executor wires the agent's live context_length (recomputed on model
switch) into all four persist/turn-budget call sites.
read_file stays inf-pinned (no persist loop). Verified E2E: a 279K-char result
against a 65K model collapses to a ~1.6K preview; a 200K model is byte-identical
to today.
Two regression tests for the agentmemory reconnect-loop:
- _is_method_not_found_error matches the plain 'Unknown method: ping'
phrasing (no structural -32601 code).
- _keepalive_probe latches _ping_unsupported and falls back to list_tools
when send_ping raises 'Unknown method: ping', instead of propagating
(which would reconnect-loop).
`cronjob(action='run')` (and `hermes cron run`) only set `next_run_at = now`
and returned success, relying on the scheduler ticker to actually execute the
job on its next tick. When no gateway/ticker is running — a CLI-only setup, or
the Windows case in #41037 — the job never executed: `run` reported success,
but `last_run_at` stayed null forever, no output, no delivery.
A manual `run` should actually run. `_execute_job_now` now:
- **claims the job via `claim_job_for_fire`** — the same at-most-once CAS the
scheduler/external-provider fire path uses. This both advances `next_run_at`
for recurring jobs and blocks a concurrently-running gateway ticker from
double-firing the same job; if the claim is lost, the run is skipped (the
tool reports `execution_skipped`). This closes the double-fire race that a
bare `advance_next_run` left open (a tick whose `get_due_jobs` already
captured the job between trigger and advance would still fire it).
- **delegates firing to `run_one_job`** — the single shared
execute→save→deliver→mark body the ticker and external providers use — so
failure delivery, `[SILENT]` handling, and live-adapter delivery stay
identical across paths and can't drift. (The original salvage re-implemented
this sequence inline and had already dropped failure delivery + `[SILENT]`.)
The tool response carries `executed`, `execution_success`, and either
`execution_error` or `execution_skipped`. The `hermes cron run` CLI message no
longer claims "It will run on the next scheduler tick" — it reports the actual
"Ran now: succeeded/failed" outcome (or the skip).
Salvaged from #41130 by @kyssta-exe (authorship preserved); reworked to reuse
`claim_job_for_fire` + `run_one_job` per review rather than re-implementing the
fire sequence inline. Adds tests for the claim-then-fire path, claim-lost skip,
failure reporting, and exception capture.
Fixes#41037

Single-op replace/remove failed with a dead-end 'old_text is required'
error when a structured-output client omitted the optional old_text field
(it can't be schema-required without a top-level if/then combinator that
OpenAI's Codex backend 400s on). The model couldn't recover.
Now a missing old_text returns the current entry inventory plus a retry
instruction (mirroring the batch path's _batch_error), so the model can
reissue the call with old_text set. Also sharpens the old_text schema
description to state it's required for replace/remove.
Fixes#49466, #43412.

* feat(delegation): single-task delegate_task always runs in the background
The model no longer decides whether a subagent runs in the background — a
single-task delegate_task from the top-level agent is now always dispatched
async, so the parent turn returns immediately and the subagent's result
re-enters the conversation when it finishes.
- run_agent._dispatch_delegate_task (the live model path) forces
background=True for top-level single-task calls; the schema-level
`background` param is ignored.
- A batch (tasks with >1 item) stays synchronous (fan-out can't go async).
- A delegation from an orchestrator subagent (depth > 0) stays synchronous —
it needs its workers' results within its own turn.
- The function-level default is unchanged, so direct Python callers/tests keep
the historical synchronous behavior.
- On async-pool capacity rejection, single-task now falls through to a
synchronous run instead of erroring (the child stays attached for interrupt
propagation; detach happens only on a successful dispatch).
- Schema `background` param marked deprecated/ignored; tool description
updated to state the always-background single-task rule.
* feat(delegation): all delegate_task fan-out runs in the background
Extend the always-background behavior to the full fan-out. A batch is now
dispatched as N independent async subagents (one handle each), instead of
running synchronously. Single task and batch both return immediately; each
subagent's result re-enters the conversation as its own message when it
finishes.
- delegate_task: when background is set, loop over ALL built children and
dispatch each via dispatch_async_delegation; return a combined handle block
(count + per-task delegation_ids). Children the async pool rejects (at
capacity) run synchronously inline and are reported alongside the dispatched
handles, so nothing is silently dropped.
- run_agent._dispatch_delegate_task + registry handler: force background for
any top-level model delegation (single OR batch); orchestrator subagents
(depth > 0) still run synchronously since they need workers' results within
their own turn.
- Removed the v1 'batch async not supported' rejection.
- Tool description updated: BOTH MODES RUN IN THE BACKGROUND.
- Tests updated to assert batch fan-out dispatches each task async (verified
E2E: 3-task batch -> 3 independent completion-queue events).
* fix(delegation): background fan-out joins and returns one consolidated block
Correct the fan-out semantics: a backgrounded batch is dispatched as ONE
async unit (one handle, one async-pool slot), not N independent dispatches.
The unit runs all children in parallel, waits on every one, and emits a
SINGLE completion event carrying the consolidated per-task results. The chat
is never blocked; when all subagents finish, their full summaries re-enter
the conversation together as one message.
- async_delegation.dispatch_async_delegation_batch + _finalize_batch: a batch
occupies one slot; its runner returns the combined {results:[...]} dict and
one event with the full results list is pushed to the completion queue.
- delegate_tool: extract the sync execution+aggregation into
_execute_and_aggregate(); background dispatches it via the batch unit and
returns one handle; on pool-capacity rejection it runs the batch inline.
- process_registry._format_async_delegation: render a consolidated multi-task
block (TASK i/N + per-task summary) when the event carries is_batch/results.
- Tests updated; E2E verified: 3-task batch -> immediate return -> one combined
completion block with all three summaries.
test_telegram_webhook_secret reads telegram adapter source by path; point it

Salvage of PR #41284 onto current main. Relocates the last 9 inline messaging
adapters (+ satellites: telegram_network, feishu_comment/_rules/meeting_invite,
wecom_crypto, wecom_callback) from gateway/platforms/ into self-contained
bundled plugins under plugins/platforms/<x>/, discovered via the platform
registry. Strips the per-platform core touchpoints from gateway/run.py,
gateway/config.py, hermes_cli/gateway.py, hermes_cli/setup.py, and
tools/send_message_tool.py.
Carries forward the migration fixes (explicit enabled:false honored,
get_connected_platforms forces discovery, plugin is_connected via
gateway.get_env_value, logs --component gateway matches plugins.platforms.*,
matrix hidden on Windows).
Additionally ports config keys main added since the PR base: the matrix
plugin's _apply_yaml_config now also covers allowed_users,
ignore_user_patterns, process_notices, and session_scope (the inline
gateway/config.py matrix block gained these in the 1340 commits the PR sat
open; they would otherwise have been silently dropped on deletion).
Route Signal send paths through shared markdown formatting helpers and render markdown bullets consistently as Unicode bullets. Add coverage for Signal formatting and send_message integration.
_build_fal_payload and _build_fal_edit_payload assemble the request and then
filter it down to the model's supports / edit_supports whitelist. That filter
also covers prompt (and image_urls for edits), which every FAL endpoint
requires. Today all model configs happen to list those keys, but a single
config that omits one would silently produce a request with no prompt or no
source images — a broken generation with no error.
Always keep the mandatory keys regardless of the whitelist so a missing
whitelist entry can only drop optional knobs, never the prompt or the images.
MCP Streamable HTTP servers that garbage-collect idle sessions on a short
TTL (e.g. Unreal Engine's editor MCP, ~15s) were unusable: the keepalive
was hardcoded at 180s, so the session was always dead by the time it ran,
and every idle tool call then landed on an expired session and paid the
full reconnect path (observed hangs of 113-143s until interrupt, bounded
only by the 300s tool_timeout).
Two coordinated, backward-compatible changes:
- Add per-server `keepalive_interval` (config.yaml, not an env var per the
contribution rubric). Default 180s — byte-identical to the old hardcoded
value when unset — floored at 5s. Servers with short session TTLs set it
below their TTL so the session stays warm.
- Switch the keepalive probe from `list_tools()` to `ping` (the MCP base
protocol liveness primitive). On large servers `list_tools` pulled ~1 MB
every cycle (830 tools = 1,068,041 bytes); `ping` is ~55 bytes and works
uniformly across tool/prompt/resource servers. Tool-list changes still
arrive out-of-band via notifications/tools/list_changed -> _refresh_tools.
`ping` is an OPTIONAL utility, so to guarantee zero regression for a
tool-capable server that doesn't implement it: the first -32601 latches
`_ping_unsupported` and the probe falls back to the pre-ping `list_tools`
path for that connection (no reconnect loop). The latch resets on each
fresh connection (_discover_tools, all transport paths) so a server that
gains ping support after a reconnect is re-probed with the cheap path.
Non-(-32601) ping errors propagate as genuine liveness failures.
Verified end-to-end against a live Unreal MCP server (idle 22s past the
~15s TTL -> post-idle tool call returns in 0.31s, no teardown) and with a
simulated ping-less tool server driving the real keepalive loop (ping once,
list_tools thereafter, no reconnect). 25/25 unit tests pass.
Note: a separate upstream defect (modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk#2604)
still tears down the whole session when one tool-call POST returns 4xx;
that is not addressed here.
Second review pass (Codex + Hermes subagent). Codex reproduced a real race with
a two-thread harness; both converged on the remaining issues.
- Generation-aware publish (fixes a lost-update race): two refresh callers (the
late-refresh daemon and the between-turns prologue around turn 1) could each
compute a snapshot outside the lock; a SLOWER caller holding an OLDER registry
generation could acquire the publish lock after a newer caller and clobber it,
deleting just-landed tools. refresh_agent_mcp_tools now captures
registry._generation before computing and refuses to publish a stale set;
agent._tool_snapshot_generation tracks the published generation.
- Context-engine routing names (_context_engine_tool_names) are now staged on a
local and published atomically with the snapshot, and only claimed when this
rebuild actually appended the schema — matching agent_init's dedup so a
registry/plugin tool of the same name keeps its own dispatch. (Previously
mutated live, before the publish lock, and on no-change refreshes.)
- CLI /reload-mcp: self.enabled_toolsets is resolved once at startup, so a
server newly ENABLED in config mid-session wasn't picked up (TUI already
re-resolved). Merge now-connected MCP server names into the override (unless
the user pinned all/*), mirroring startup, and keep self.enabled_toolsets in
sync. Closes the CLI/TUI parity hole.
- ACP (acp_adapter/server.py) routed through the shared helper — it was a 5th
sibling rebuild that re-injected memory tools but NOT context-engine tools and
bypassed the atomic/name-diff path (inert today, fragile).
- mcp_startup._resolve_discovery_timeout pulls its default from DEFAULT_CONFIG
(single source of truth) instead of a stale hardcoded 5.0 literal.
- Tests: stale-generation-no-clobber, _skip_mcp_refresh honored, timeout
fallback uses DEFAULT_CONFIG.
Consolidated findings from three independent reviewers (Codex, Claude Code, a
Hermes subagent w/ the hermes-agent-dev skill):
- BLOCKING: refresh_agent_mcp_tools rebuilt only the registry subset, silently
dropping post-build-injected memory-provider (mem0/honcho/…) and context-
engine (lcm_*) tools on every refresh. Now additive-preserving: re-applies
the same injectors agent_init uses, staged on locals and published atomically.
- Re-injection now honors the #5544 enabled_toolsets gate for context-engine
tools, so a restricted-toolset platform can't get lcm_* leaked back in.
- Atomic read-diff-publish under one lock: the returned `added` set and the
(tools, valid_tool_names) pair are consistent even under concurrent callers
(no half-swap, no TOCTOU).
- background_review fork opts out (_skip_mcp_refresh) so its byte-identical
tools[] cache parity with the parent is preserved.
- CLI /reload-mcp routed through the shared helper (was a 4th divergent copy
with the same clobber bug + missing disabled_toolsets).
- Explicit reloads (TUI RPC + CLI) pass enabled_override so a server the user
just enabled in config this session is picked up; automatic paths reuse the
agent's build-time selection.
- mcp_discovery_timeout default 5.0 -> 1.5s: correctness now comes from the
between-turns refresh, so the startup wait is only a small turn-1 UX bump
rather than a heavy dead-server latency penalty.
- has_registered_mcp_tools checks registered TOOLS (not connected servers) so a
zero-tool/prompt-only server doesn't make the per-turn hook fire forever.
- Tests: rewrote the thread-safety test to actually exercise the write path
(alternating tool sets), added the #5544-gate regression, the memory/context
preservation regression, and a "callable next turn via valid_tool_names"
contract; removed a dead monkeypatch line.
MCP servers that connect after the agent's one-time tool snapshot were
invisible for the whole session. Two root causes, fixed together:
1. The startup discovery wait was a flat 0.75s. HTTP/OAuth servers
commonly take 2-6s on a cold connect, so they missed the window and
their tools never entered the agent's snapshot. `thread.join(timeout)`
already returns the instant discovery completes, so raising the bound
costs ~0s for the common case (no MCP / fast servers) and only ever
blocks for a genuinely-pending server, capped so a dead server can't
freeze startup. The bound is now configurable via
`mcp_discovery_timeout` (config.yaml, default 5.0s).
2. Three call sites duplicated the agent tool-snapshot rebuild (the TUI
`reload.mcp` RPC, the gateway reload, and the TUI late-binding refresh
thread), and the late-refresh detected changes by tool COUNT — missing
an equal-size add/remove swap. Consolidated into one shared
`tools.mcp_tool.refresh_agent_mcp_tools(agent)` helper that diffs by
tool NAME, mutates the agent under a lock (thread-safe), and respects
the agent's own enabled/disabled toolsets.
The late-binding refresh keeps its pre-first-turn cache-safety guard:
it never rebuilds the tool list once a turn has started, so the cached
prompt prefix is never invalidated mid-conversation.
Tests: new tests/tools/test_refresh_agent_mcp_tools.py covers the
name-based diff, in-place mutation, agent-scoped filtering, thread
safety, and the config-driven discovery bound (incl. instant-return
when nothing is pending). 75 passed across the touched areas.
Wires support for the MCP `elicitation/create` request (Python SDK 1.11+)
so MCP servers can ask the user to confirm sensitive operations
mid-tool-call (payment authorization, OAuth confirmation, etc.) instead
of failing closed or requiring out-of-band biometrics.
Behavior:
- `tools/mcp_tool.py` adds `ElicitationHandler`, attached per server task
and passed to `ClientSession` as `elicitation_callback`. Form-mode
requests route through the existing approval system; URL-mode requests
decline cleanly (out of scope for this pass).
- `tools/approval.py` adds `request_elicitation_consent()`, which dispatches
to whichever surface owns the active session — `_await_gateway_decision`
for Telegram / Slack / etc. (so the approval prompt lands on the right
platform), `prompt_dangerous_approval` for CLI / TUI. Fails closed on
timeout, missing notify_cb, or exception.
- The MCP tool wrapper snapshots `contextvars.copy_context()` into
`MCPServerTask._pending_call_context` before each `session.call_tool`
and clears it after. The recv-loop task that dispatches incoming
`elicitation/create` requests does not inherit the agent task's
contextvars (HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM and friends), so without the
bridge `_is_gateway_approval_context()` returns False on every
gateway session and the elicitation falls through to a CLI prompt
that has no TTY → fail-closed decline. The handler now reads the
snapshot via its `owner` back-reference and replays it through
`Context.copy().run(...)` so attribution survives the task hop.
Tests (`tests/tools/test_mcp_elicitation.py`):
- form-mode accept / decline / cancel
- URL-mode declined without prompting
- exception in approval system → decline
- timeout in approval → cancel
- context-bridge regression tests (replay observed in consent call,
missing-context fallback, multiple-replay safety, owner with
cleared `_pending_call_context`)
Verified end-to-end against pay's MCP server on macOS: agent message
arrives via Telegram, agent calls `mcp_pay_curl` against a paid endpoint,
pay returns 402, ElicitationHandler routes the approval prompt back to
the originating Telegram chat, user replies in TG, the curl tool signs
and completes.
Platforms tested: macOS 14 (darwin/arm64). No Unix-only syscalls
introduced; Windows footgun checker passes on the touched files.
The xAI TTS REST endpoint (POST /v1/tts) accepts 'speed' (0.7-1.5)
and 'optimize_streaming_latency' (0/1/2) parameters, but the Hermes
built-in xAI provider was reading neither from config nor sending
either in the request body. Add them as tts.xai.speed and
tts.xai.optimize_streaming_latency config knobs (with global
tts.speed / tts.optimize_streaming_latency fallbacks).
- speed: float, clamped to 0.7-1.5. 1.0 (the API default) is omitted
from the request body to preserve the existing minimal-payload
contract.
- optimize_streaming_latency: int, clamped to 0-2. 0 (best quality,
the API default) is omitted from the request body.
Resolver order: tts.xai.<knob> overrides the global tts.<knob>.
The previous xAI auto-speech-tag tests asserted on the local
pause-only fallback and only passed because call_llm silently
returns None in the test environment. They gave zero coverage of
the new auxiliary-rewrite path added in the previous commit.
Add tests that:
- mock agent.auxiliary_client.call_llm and pin down the new contract
(auxiliary rewriter output wins over the local fallback)
- verify the system prompt lists every documented inline + wrapping
tag and uses BBCode-style [/tag] closing syntax
- cover markdown-fence stripping (with and without language hint)
- exercise the local fallback on rewriter exception, empty response,
None response, and missing-choices response
- confirm call_llm is NOT invoked when the input already has
explicit speech tags, or is empty / whitespace-only
- replace the end-to-end test that asserted on the silent-fallback
output with one that mocks the rewriter and asserts the
rewriter's tagged text is what reaches the xAI TTS API
The built-in Piper provider (tts.provider: piper, Python piper-tts
package) already constructs piper.SynthesisConfig for the advanced
tuning knobs, but did not forward speaker_id from the user config.
This wires tts.piper.speaker_id through to SynthesisConfig.speaker_id
so multi-speaker ONNX models (e.g. libritts_r) can be addressed via
config without dropping to the command-provider path.
Changes:
- Add speaker_id to the has_advanced tuple so setting it triggers
SynthesisConfig construction (same gating as the other knobs).
- Pass speaker_id=speaker_id to SynthesisConfig. Defaults to 0
(Piper's own default; single-speaker models ignore the field).
- Tolerant parse: bad input (non-int strings, lists, dicts) is
dropped to 0 instead of raising. Booleans are rejected outright
(True/False would silently coerce to 1/0 and hide a config
mistake). Mirrors the same shape as the command-provider's
_resolve_command_tts_optional_number helper.
speaker_id is applied per-call via syn_config.speaker_id, so the
PiperVoice cache key is intentionally left as just (model, cuda) --
the same loaded model serves all speakers. Tests cover the
config knob, the tolerant parse, and the no-reload invariant.
sentence_silence is intentionally not added here: the Python
piper-tts SynthesisConfig does not expose that field (CLI-only).
The Discord fix (previous commit) handles dict-shaped clarify choices at the
Discord adapter only. The same dict-repr leak originates upstream at
tools/clarify_tool.py's str(c).strip() normalization — the single
platform-agnostic point both the CLI and every gateway adapter flow through.
When an LLM emits [{"description": "..."}] instead of bare strings, str(c)
produced {'description': '...'} which leaked onto the CLI panel
(cli.py:13048/13081), was returned verbatim as the user's answer
(cli.py:11945), and hit Telegram's numbered list too.
Add _flatten_choice (same label->description->text->title unwrap as the
Discord adapter, name/value excluded, keyless dicts dropped) and apply it at
the normalization line. Fixes CLI + Telegram + all platforms at the root;
the Discord smart-truncation now operates on already-clean text.

* feat(image-gen): add image-to-image / editing to image_generate
Brings image generation to parity with video generation: the unified
image_generate tool now edits/transforms a source image (image-to-image)
when given image_url / reference_image_urls, routing to each backend's
edit endpoint, exactly as video_generate routes to image-to-video.
- ImageGenProvider ABC: generate() gains keyword-only image_url +
reference_image_urls; new capabilities() declares modalities +
max_reference_images (defaults to text-only, backward compatible).
success_response gains a modality field; adds normalize_reference_images.
- image_generate tool: schema exposes image_url + reference_image_urls;
dynamic schema reflects the active model's actual edit capability so the
agent knows when image_url is honored. Handler + plugin dispatch forward
the new inputs; legacy/text-only providers get a clear modality_unsupported
error instead of silently dropping the source image.
- In-tree FAL: 7 models gain edit endpoints (flux-2-klein, flux-2-pro,
nano-banana-pro, gpt-image-1.5, gpt-image-2, ideogram/v3, qwen-image)
with per-model edit_supports whitelists + reference caps; routes to the
/edit endpoint and skips the upscaler for edits.
- Plugins: openai (images.edit, 16 refs), xai (/v1/images/edits via
grok-imagine-image-quality, JSON body per xAI docs), krea
(image_style_references, 10 refs). openai-codex stays text-only and
rejects edits with an actionable error.
- Tests: 15 new (payload, routing, dispatch forwarding, dynamic schema,
capabilities); updated 2 change-detector/lambda tests for the new schema.
- Docs: image-generation feature page, image-gen provider plugin guide,
tools reference.
* fix(image-gen): preserve legacy passthrough in fal/krea plugin tests
Two existing plugin tests asserted pre-image-to-image behavior:
- fal: forward image_url/reference_image_urls only when supplied, so a
text-to-image delegation stays byte-identical (no None kwargs).
- krea: keep dict-shaped image_style_references refs verbatim (the unified
string refs go through normalize_reference_images; legacy non-string ref
objects pass through unchanged) — fixes KeyError when callers pass the
richer Krea ref-object shape.
* fix(image-gen): clearer not-capable message for text-to-image-only models
When a text-to-image-only model (incl. gpt-image-2 on the Codex OAuth path,
which can't do editing through the Responses image_generation tool) gets a
source image, say 'this model is not capable of image-to-image / editing —
provide a text-only prompt' rather than sending the user shopping for other
backends. Applies to the openai-codex guard, the in-tree FAL no-edit-endpoint
error, and the dynamic tool-schema text-only line.
When a worker calls kanban_create from inside a session that has a
persistent delivery channel, the originating session is now subscribed
to the new task's completion/block events automatically. The agent
that dispatched the task gets notified instead of having to poll.
- Gateway sessions (telegram/discord/slack): HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM +
HERMES_SESSION_CHAT_ID ContextVars, set by the messaging gateway.
- TUI / desktop sessions: HERMES_SESSION_KEY in the subprocess env.
The TUI notification poller keys on platform='tui' + chat_id=<key>.
- CLI / cron / test: no persistent channel, no subscription.
Gated by kanban.auto_subscribe_on_create in config.yaml (default True).
Disable to mirror pre-feature behaviour — users who want explicit
kanban_notify-subscribe calls per task can set it to false. This
config gate addresses the design concern that got PR #19718 reverted
upstream (unconditional implicit auto-subscribe on tool-driven
kanban_create was too aggressive for orchestrator users).
HERMES_SESSION_ID is intentionally not a fallback channel — it is
set by ACP/agent subprocess telemetry for every invocation, not just
TUI, so treating it as a notification target would auto-subscribe
every CLI session and re-introduce the over-eager behaviour.
The kanban_create response now includes a 'subscribed' bool so
orchestrators can react if subscription failed (e.g. by falling
back to explicit kanban_notify-subscribe or to polling).
Includes 6 tests covering the gateway / TUI / CLI / partial-context /
gated / add_notify_sub-failure paths. All 90 tests in
test_kanban_tools.py pass; 509 broader kanban tests pass.
The memory tool was strictly one-op-per-call. With the store running near
its char limit by design, a new add that would overflow gets rejected with
'consolidate now, then retry' -- but the model could not consolidate and add
in one call. It had to remove/replace across several turns, then retry the
add, each turn re-sending the whole conversation context. Expensive thrash.
Add an 'operations' array: a list of add/replace/remove ops applied
atomically against the FINAL char budget. The model frees space and adds new
entries in ONE call, even when an add alone would overflow. All-or-nothing:
any bad op aborts the whole batch, nothing written.
Root-cause note: the two agent-level memory interception sites
(agent_runtime_helpers.py, tool_executor.py) silently dropped any param not
in their explicit kwarg list, so 'operations' never reached the handler and
batch calls failed with 'Unknown action None'. Both now pass it through and
bridge each add/replace op to external memory providers.
Also: success response is now terminal (done=true + 'do not repeat' note,
no full-entries echo that invited re-edits); schema rewritten to lead with
the batch mechanism and an explicit one-shot stop rule (2138 -> 1476 chars).
Live-verified: near-full consolidate-and-add went 7 calls -> 1 call,
stable across 3 reps. 103 memory/approval tests + 398 background-review/
run_agent tests green; 6 new batch tests added.
The salvaged guard allowed _rmtree_writable(SKILLS_DIR) itself. No call
site ever passes the root — every site passes a skill subdir or its .bak
sibling — so allowing the root only preserves the #48200 footgun (a dest
that collapses to the root wipes every installed skill). Require a strict
strict-child relationship and update the test that documented the
nonexistent 'full reset' capability.
Defense-in-depth fix for the silent wipe of ~/.hermes/ documented in
#48200. A `hermes update --yes` run silently destroyed a user's
.env, MEMORY.md, kanban.db, custom skills, and scripts. Two changes:
1. `_rmtree_writable` in tools/skills_sync.py now refuses to rmtree
anything outside SKILLS_DIR (the HERMES_HOME/skills/ root).
All five call sites pass paths under SKILLS_DIR, so the guard is
a no-op for current code and a loud, recoverable failure for
any future regression (bad path join, malicious bundled
manifest, stale path in scope after an exception).
2. The default `updates.pre_update_backup` flips from false to
true in hermes_cli/config.py. A few minutes of zip per update
is negligible compared to silent total data loss. Still
overridable; --no-backup still works for one-off opt-out.
Five new tests in TestRmtreeWritableScopeGuard (root path,
hermes home, sibling dir, skills root itself, subdir) plus a
flipped `test_default_enabled_creates_backup` in test_backup.py.
178/178 tests pass in the two affected files. Public method
signatures unchanged, no test-stub blast radius.
Closes#48200
Review feedback from egilewski:
1. Remove trailing whitespace from test docstring and mock patches (lines 1430, 1469, 1476, 1482)
2. Expand test coverage: also verify ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is stripped (not just OPENAI_API_KEY)
Changes:
- Remove trailing whitespace from test file
- Add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to test environment
- Add assertion verifying ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is stripped from cua-driver subprocess env
- Syntax verified: python3 -m py_compile tests/tools/test_computer_use.py ✓
- Use _sanitize_subprocess_env() to filter Hermes-managed credentials
from the cua-driver subprocess environment (issue #37878)
- Prevents credential exfiltration to the third-party cua-driver binary
- Aligns with existing pattern used by browser-tool and other tools
- Add regression test to verify environment sanitization
The cua-driver is a lower-trust MCP subprocess per SECURITY.md §2.3.
Its inherited environment is now scrubbed by default, removing provider
API keys, gateway tokens, and platform credentials that should not leak
to third-party binaries.
Fixes#37878
Exercises the real sync pipeline (no mocked comparison logic): a pristine
synced skill is not flagged; an edited one is listed and diffed (modified +
added files); an unknown skill returns not-ok; and `reset --restore` clears
the modified state so revert and discovery stay consistent.
The install method (docker/git/pip/...) describes the *running binary*, but
detect_install_method() read it from $HERMES_HOME/.install_method — a shared
DATA directory. The Docker docs deliberately bind-mount $HERMES_HOME
(~/.hermes:/opt/data) so config/sessions/memory persist and can be shared with
a host-side Desktop/CLI install.
When a containerized gateway and a host install share one $HERMES_HOME, the
home-scoped stamp is a single slot describing two installs: the published image
stamps 'docker' on every boot, the host install then reads 'docker' and the
in-app updater refuses to run 'hermes update' ("doesn't apply inside the Docker
container"). Reinstalling the Desktop app from the DMG doesn't help because the
contaminated stamp is re-read every time.
Fix (option 1 — code-scoped stamp):
- detect_install_method() reads <install tree>/.install_method first (next to
the running code, immune to the shared data dir). It falls back to the legacy
$HERMES_HOME stamp for back-compat, but IGNORES a 'docker' home stamp when
not actually containerized — so already-poisoned shared homes self-heal.
- stamp_install_method() writes the code-scoped stamp.
- install.sh stamps $INSTALL_DIR instead of $HERMES_HOME.
- Dockerfile bakes 'docker' into /opt/hermes/.install_method at build time
(inside the immutable block); stage2-hook.sh no longer writes the home stamp
and proactively removes a stale 'docker' one to heal existing shared homes.
Genuine containers still resolve to 'docker' (baked stamp, or legacy home stamp
honored when containerized). Unstamped installs in generic containers still fall
through to git/pip (preserves the #34397 fix).
* feat(search_files): path-grouped lossless densification of content matches
Content-mode search_files results repeat the {path,line,content} JSON keys
and the full path string for every match. Group consecutive same-path matches
under one path header with indented '<line>: <content>' rows — lossless (every
path/line/content byte preserved), self-describing (matches_format key), and
readable by the model with no decode step.
57.8% mean token reduction on real search_files content outputs (422-output
corpus), fires on 97% of them. Gated at >=5 matches; below that the verbose
array is left untouched. Default to_dict(densify=False) is unchanged, so no
other caller is affected.
ripgrep emits matches path-ordered, so consecutive grouping never reorders
results.
* test: accept densify kwarg in _FakeSearchResult.to_dict
The search loop-detection tests stub SearchResult with a fake whose
to_dict() must mirror the real signature now that it takes densify=.
* test(search_files): edge-case losslessness battery for densification
Adversarial single-line content (colons, indentation, unicode/emoji, empty,
trailing whitespace, quotes+commas), paths with spaces, and an explicit
one-line-per-match invariant documenting the ripgrep contract the format
relies on (0/6775 real match contents contained a newline).
* feat(mcp): raise default tool-call timeout 120s -> 300s
Port from openai/codex#28234. Long-running MCP tools (web fetches,
sandboxed builds, deep-research servers) routinely exceed 120s, causing
spurious timeout failures. Codex bumped its default MCP tool timeout from
120 to 300 for the same reason.
- _DEFAULT_TOOL_TIMEOUT 120 -> 300 in tools/mcp_tool.py (per-server
'timeout' config override unchanged)
- update test_default_timeout assertion
- document the default in mcp-config-reference.md
* refactor: remove agent-callable send_message tool
The agent should not decide on its own to fire off cross-platform
messages or reactions. Outbound platform messaging is handled outside
the agent loop — cron delivery, the gateway kanban notifier
(dashboard-toggled), and the `hermes send` CLI.
Removes the model-tool registration only; the send engine in
send_message_tool.py (_send_to_platform, _send_via_adapter,
_parse_target_ref, per-platform _send_* helpers) is kept intact for
those non-agent callers. Drops the now-empty 'messaging' toolset and
its `hermes tools` toggle. Yuanbao DM guidance now points at the
native yb_send_dm tool.
restore_skill() falls back to p.name.startswith(f"{skill_name}-") when no
archive directory matches the requested name exactly. That fallback is meant
to catch the timestamped duplicate archive_skill() writes on a name collision
(<skill>-YYYYMMDDHHMMSS), but the bare prefix also matches any unrelated
archived skill named <name>-something. So restoring "git" can pull an archived
"git-helpers" out of .archive/, rename it to "git", and report success: the
requested skill is not restored and the sibling is gone from the archive.
Constrain the fallback to the exact suffix archive_skill() produces, a 14 digit
timestamp. The exact-name match and the recursive nested-archive walk are
unchanged, so nested and timestamped restores still work; unrelated siblings no
longer match.
Fixes#47647
Support files under references/, templates/, assets/, and scripts/ are progressive-disclosure data loaded through skill_view(..., file_path=...). They should not be treated as standalone skills during discovery or collision checks.
This prevents archived skill packages or support markdown files inside a real skill from shadowing active skills with the same name while still allowing top-level categories named scripts/templates/assets/references.
Tests cover:
- pruning nested SKILL.md files inside skill support directories
- preserving support-named top-level categories
- avoiding skill_view collisions from support markdown
- keeping archived package SKILL.md files accessible only through file_path
* feat(desktop): stream subagent replies into watch windows
A desktop watch window resumes a child session lazily (no full agent) and
mirrors the parent-relayed `subagent.*` events into native child-session
stream events. The child's streamed reply text was never relayed, so the
window sat blank while the subagent "talked".
- delegate_tool: forward the child's `run_conversation` stream tokens up the
progress relay as `subagent.text` (inert under CLI/TUI — their progress
handlers ignore non-tool event types; only a gateway watch window mirrors it).
- server: mirror `subagent.text` -> `message.delta` on the child sid only, and
skip the parent emit (per-token frames are meaningless on the parent session,
which shows the child via the spawn tree). Demote `subagent.start` to a
one-time goal header and drop the noisy `subagent.progress` mirror — tools
already mirror natively.
- server: guard `_start_agent_build` so a lazy watch session spectating an
in-flight child stays lazy; incidental RPCs were upgrading it to a full
agent mid-stream and silently killing the mirror.
* fix(desktop): keep watch-window chat clear of titlebar chrome
Secondary windows (new-session scratch, subagent watch, cmd-click pop-out)
hide the titlebar tool cluster + session header, so the transcript ran to the
window's top edge and streamed text slid up under the OS traffic lights.
- Gate the hidden chrome on `isSecondaryWindow()` everywhere (app-shell,
chat header, thread list) instead of the narrower new-session flag.
- Add a fixed opaque drag-strip at the top of the secondary-window transcript:
content padding alone scrolls away with the text, so the strip masks
anything behind it and keeps the window draggable like the main header.
* fix: WSL subagent window
* fix: subagent window top padding

Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#11240. Their issue #11227 lost a user's entire
working directory: a built-in-skill sentinel location resolved to the server
cwd and the skill-removal endpoint ran a recursive delete on it.
Hermes' /skills uninstall path (skills_hub.py) is already hardened, but the
agent-facing skill_manage(action='delete') path did a bare
shutil.rmtree(skill_dir) with no last-line validation. Add _validate_delete_target():
refuse to rmtree a path that (1) isn't strictly inside a known skills root,
(2) is a skills root itself, or (3) is reached via a symlink/junction.
Tests: 4 cases (normal delete works; symlinked dir, skills-root, out-of-tree
all refused). E2E verified with real symlink + file I/O.
* feat(delegation): async background subagents via delegate_task(background=true)
delegate_task(background=true) dispatches a subagent that runs in the
background and returns a handle immediately, so the user and model keep
working while it runs. The full result — plus the original task source —
re-enters the conversation as a new turn when the subagent finishes,
riding the same completion-queue rail as terminal background processes.
- tools/async_delegation.py: daemon-executor registry, capacity cap,
rich self-contained completion event pushed onto the shared
process_registry.completion_queue (type='async_delegation').
- delegate_tool.py: background param + single-task dispatch branch;
batch async rejected (v1).
- process_registry.py: format_process_notification renders the rich
task-source block (goal/context/toolsets/model/status/result).
- gateway/run.py: dedicated _async_delegation_watcher drains + injects
results into the originating session (idle + post-turn), session_key
routing enrichment, shutdown interrupt of dangling delegations.
- config: delegation.max_async_children (default 3).
Reuses the existing idle-drain wiring rather than mutating a running
agent loop, preserving message-role alternation and prompt-cache
invariants. 13 targeted tests; CLI + gateway paths E2E-verified.
* test(delegation): make async non-blocking tests environment-independent
CI 'test (5)' flaked on a cold, 8-worker runner: the first
delegate_task(background=true) call measured 2.27s of one-time setup
(config load + child-agent construction + imports), tripping the
elapsed < 1.0 wall-clock assertion. That assertion was testing setup
overhead, not blocking.
Replace the wall-clock thresholds with the real invariant: dispatch
returns while the child is still gated (active_count == 1, completion
queue empty), which a synchronous impl could not do. Keep only a loose
4s sanity backstop well under the runner's 5s gate.
* fix(delegation): harden async background delegation
Follow-up review fixes:
- Detach background child from parent._active_children at dispatch —
otherwise parent-turn interrupts (Ctrl+C, mid-turn steering), cache
evicts (release_clients), and session close (/new) kill/close the
detached subagent mid-run, defeating the point of background mode.
Lifecycle is owned by the async registry's interrupt_fn.
- Make the capacity check atomic with the record insert (TOCTOU: two
concurrent dispatches could both pass active_count() and exceed the cap).
- TUI dedup: key async_delegation events by delegation_id — the
fallthrough keyed them all as ("", type), suppressing every completion
after the first in the desktop/TUI status feed.
- CLI /stop now interrupts running background delegations and /agents
lists them (they live outside the process registry and were invisible).
- Drop stray unbalanced ']' line from the re-injection block and the
unused _ASYNC_DEFAULT import.
Tests: detach-at-dispatch + concurrent-capacity race added (15 total in
test_async_delegation.py); 137 delegate + 140 process-registry/notify/watch
+ 7 TUI dedup tests pass.
* fix(delegation): harden async background completion drains
Track why a background process finished and include that source in notify-on-complete messages so SIGTERM from process.kill, kill_all, backend loss, and ordinary exits are distinguishable.
Add a parser-only routing regression that proves raw WhatsApp group JIDs bypass channel-directory resolution and home-channel fallback, include channel_aliases.json in quick state snapshots, harden malformed alias handling, and map Keiron McCammon for release attribution.
send_message(target="whatsapp:<group-jid>") silently delivered to the
configured home DM instead of the requested group. Two gaps:
1. _parse_target_ref had no WhatsApp branch. Group JIDs (<id>@g.us),
user JIDs (<id>@s.whatsapp.net), linked-identity JIDs (<id>@lid), and
broadcast/newsletter JIDs matched no pattern and fell through to
`return None, None, False`, so the caller treated them as
unresolvable and used the home channel. The bridge's /send endpoint
accepts any chatId, so only the tool-side target parsing was at fault.
Add a whatsapp branch that recognizes native JIDs as explicit targets.
The pre-existing '+'-prefixed E.164 path is preserved.
2. WhatsApp groups have no human-friendly name — the channel directory
is regenerated from session data on a timer, so a group shows up as
its raw 18-digit JID and any hand-edit to channel_directory.json is
clobbered on the next rebuild. Add a user-maintained alias overlay
(~/.hermes/channel_aliases.json) re-applied on every build AND every
load, giving durable friendly names and letting a freshly-created
group be pre-named before its first message.
Tests: TestParseTargetRefWhatsAppJID (7 cases) for the parser;
TestChannelAliases (7 cases) for the overlay, plus an autouse fixture
isolating CHANNEL_ALIASES_PATH so a real alias file can't leak into the
existing directory tests.
* fix(gateway): chown logs/gateways parent so late-added profiles can log
The per-profile log service script created $HERMES_HOME/logs/gateways/
via 'mkdir -p' but only chowned the leaf logs/gateways/<profile>. When
the first log service boots in root context, the gateways/ parent stays
root:root; every profile registered later runs its log service as the
dropped hermes user, 'mkdir -p' fails with EACCES, and s6-log enters a
sub-second fatal crash-loop flooding the container log. The stage2
recursive heal does not catch it either: it is gated on needs_chown,
which is false when the top-level $HERMES_HOME is already hermes-owned.
Two complementary fixes:
- service_manager._render_log_run: chown the gateways/ parent
(non-recursively) before the leaf chown. Runs on every root-context
boot, so it also heals volumes already poisoned by older images.
- docker/stage2-hook.sh: seed logs/gateways in the as_hermes mkdir -p
block; cont-init runs before any service starts, so the parent
already exists hermes-owned when the first log/run does 'mkdir -p'.
The needs_chown repair loop needs no twin entry: it already chowns
logs/ recursively, which covers logs/gateways.

Remove the free Parallel Search MCP path and restore the keyed Parallel backend behavior from before it was introduced.
Also drops the keyless fallback registration/display labeling tests and returns the Parallel SDK pin to the prior version.
Allow file tools to edit shell startup files, user package-manager configs, and Hermes control files that the user can already modify directly. Keep hard blocks for SSH keys, .env/OAuth token stores, mcp-tokens, pairing files, and system privilege files.
Three tests covering: a stale .bak poisoning a failed update's move/restore, an orphaned .bak misread as a user deletion, and a partially written dest blocking restore-on-failure. All three fail on current main without the fix.
Refs #44942
tools/approval.py already denies tee/redirection writes to every
_SENSITIVE_WRITE_TARGET (~/.ssh/*, ~/.netrc/.pgpass/.npmrc/.pypirc, shell
rc files, ~/.hermes/config.yaml/.env) via the DANGEROUS_PATTERNS tee/`>`
rules, but cp/mv/install were only paired for _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH (/etc) and
the project-relative env/config target. So `cp evil ~/.ssh/authorized_keys`
(SSH-key implant / persistence), `cp creds ~/.netrc`, and `cp evil ~/.bashrc`
(login-time command injection) auto-approved while the equivalent tee/`>`
forms were denied — an unpaired write deny is theater (same rationale as
#14639 / commit 4e9d886d, which paired the terminal side for
~/.hermes/config.yaml writes but did not touch these cp/mv/install verbs on
the broader sensitive set).
Add one (cp|mv|install) DANGEROUS_PATTERNS entry reusing the existing
_SENSITIVE_WRITE_TARGET fragment, anchored via _COMMAND_TAIL so it fires on
the destination (last arg) only: reading OUT of a sensitive path
(`cp ~/.ssh/config /tmp/x`) stays auto-approved. Description differs from the
system-config cp entry so the two keep distinct approval keys (no silent
cross-approval). Additive — does not subsume the /etc or project-config rules.
Adds TestSensitiveCopyMovePattern: 5 positive cases (ssh authorized_keys,
ssh private key via mv, netrc via install, bashrc, ~/.hermes/config.yaml) +
2 negative guards (copy FROM ssh, unrelated copy). The ssh/netrc/bashrc
positives fail on main and pass on this branch; the negatives stay green
both ways.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #44486: the adapter shipped remove_reaction but
the tool only exposed 'react'. Generalize _handle_react(remove=) and add
tool-level dispatch tests for react/unreact (missing from the original PR).
Fireworks-hosted Kimi rejects tool requests when nullable MCP/Pydantic
schemas collapse to {"$ref": "...", "default": null}. Strip that sibling
during global schema sanitization so gateway and CLI calls succeed again.
Tell coding agents to activate shell setup once per session instead of re-sourcing it before every command, and pin the existing LocalEnvironment env-snapshot behavior with regression tests.
Port from anomalyco/opencode#31271: only call tools/list when the server
advertises the 'tools' capability in InitializeResult.capabilities.
Previously, _discover_tools() unconditionally called session.list_tools()
right after initialize. Prompt-only / resource-only servers (which omit
the tools capability per the MCP spec) raise McpError(-32601 Method not
found), which aborted the connection — burning all 3 initial-connect
retries and permanently failing the server even though its prompts and
resources were perfectly usable. The 180s keepalive had the same problem:
it probed with list_tools(), so even a successfully connected prompt-only
server would be torn down on the first keepalive cycle.
Changes:
- MCPServerTask._advertises_tools(): capability check with a legacy
fallback (no captured InitializeResult -> behave as before)
- _discover_tools(): skip tools/list for non-tool servers
- keepalive: use the universal ping request for non-tool servers
- _refresh_tools(): guard against tools/list_changed from non-tool servers
E2E verified with a real stdio prompt-only FastMCP-style server: on main
it fails all 3 connection attempts with Method-not-found; with this fix
it connects, lists prompts, answers ping keepalives, and shuts down
cleanly.
When a tirith content-security warning is present the approval backend
forces allow_permanent=False and silently downgrades an "always" choice to
session scope (the persistence loop in check_all_command_guards only honors
"always" → permanent when no tirith finding exists). But the gateway notify
payload that drives the TUI and the Electron desktop app never carried that
flag, so both surfaces always rendered "Always allow" — offering a permanent
allow the backend would quietly refuse to persist.
Plumb allow_permanent end-to-end:
- tools/approval.py: include `allow_permanent: not has_tirith` in the gateway
approval_data the notify callback emits as `approval.request`.
- ui-tui: thread `allowPermanent` through the event handler, gateway types,
and ApprovalReq; ApprovalPrompt drops the "always" option (and renumbers the
quick-pick keys) when it's false.
- apps/desktop: thread `allow_permanent` through the gateway payload type, the
per-session approval store, and the inline ApprovalBar, which now hides the
"Always allow…" dropdown item when permanent allow is disallowed — reusing
the existing DropdownMenu / confirm-Dialog UI.
The desktop/TUI render path for approvals already landed in #38578 (the root
cause of approvals not surfacing in the GUI); this completes the salvage of
#37856 by carrying allow_permanent across both surfaces. #37856's original
thread-local _block() approach is dropped: desktop/TUI approvals resolve via
approval.respond → resolve_gateway_approval (the per-session queue), not the
_block()/request_id correlation, so a worker-thread callback waiting on _block
would never be released by the real UI.
Tests: gateway notify payload carries allow_permanent (True without tirith,
False with a tirith warning); ui-tui approvalAction reduced option set +
event-handler allowPermanent propagation; desktop store round-trip + the
ApprovalBar showing/hiding "Always allow".

discovery raises, that the direct-registration fallback honors plugins.disabled,
and that it stays a no-op on the healthy path.
Review fixes for the Cron Recipes stack before release:
- hydration-move: */90 in the cron minute field silently wraps to hourly
(croniter-verified) — 90/120-minute options never fired at their stated
cadence. Replaced with an hour-field step (0 9-17/2 * * 1-5) and an
interval_hours slot whose options (1/2/3h) all fire as labeled.
- fill_recipe: reject unknown slot names. A typo'd 'tiem=07:15' used to
silently create the job at the 08:00 default; now it 422s on the dashboard
form and errors on the slash/deep-link paths with the valid slot list.
- deliver slot: non-strict enum (options are suggestions, scheduler
validates downstream) so slack/whatsapp/etc. users aren't locked out;
GET /api/cron/recipes rewrites its options from cron_delivery_targets()
so the dashboard form only offers configured platforms; help text no
longer claims dashboard-created jobs deliver to 'the chat you set this
up from' (the endpoint strips origin — they go to the home channel).
- gateway: success/accept messages no longer point at /cron (cli_only);
surface-aware hint instead. Conversational fill now sends the
'Setting up X — I'll ask you a couple of things…' ack before the agent
turn, matching the CLI experience.
- important-mail catalog entry: reference the urgency classifier by module
path (python3 -m cron.scripts.classify_items) instead of baking an
absolute host path into the job prompt — stale after relocation and
nonexistent on remote terminal backends. cron/scripts is now a real
package and ships in the wheel (pyproject packages.find).
- export_recipe: interval schedules round-trip again — parse_schedule
stores 'minutes' but the renderer only read 'seconds', so every interval
job exported as the silent '0 9 * * *' fallback.
- skills_hub install: say so when a recipe suggestion is dropped
(latched dedup or pending cap) instead of printing nothing.
Targeted tests: 58 cron/recipe + 261 web_server pass; E2E-validated all
14 recipes fill+parse, hydration cadences via croniter, typo rejection on
slash + endpoint paths, surface-aware hints, and interval export round-trip.
A 'recipe' is a one-place definition of an automation that every surface
renders natively. The slot schema (cron/recipe_catalog.py) is the single
source of truth; four renderers consume it, and all paths end at the same
cron.jobs.create_job — no second job engine.
Form where there's a screen, conversation where there's a chat line:
- Dashboard / GUI app: a Recipes sub-tab on the Cron page renders each
recipe's typed slots as a form (time-picker, enum dropdown, free-text);
submit POSTs /api/cron/recipes/instantiate which fills + creates the job.
- CLI / TUI / messengers: /cron-recipe lists the catalog, shows a recipe's
fields, or fills + creates from a pasted 'key slot=val' command. The shared
handler (hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py) names any missing/invalid slot so
the agent can ask a targeted follow-up.
- Docs: a generated Cron Recipes catalog page (website, .mdx + React cards)
shows each recipe with a copy-paste command and a 'Send to App' button.
- Desktop: a hermes:// URL scheme (Electron single-instance lock +
setAsDefaultProtocolClient + open-url/second-instance) routes
hermes://cron-recipe/<key>?slot=val into the chat composer pre-filled.
Typed slots (time/enum/text/weekdays) with defaults: users never type raw
cron — recipes parameterize time-of-day and weekday sets and translate to
cron expressions; a free-text 'schedule' slot is the full-flexibility escape
hatch. Consent-first throughout: nothing schedules without an explicit submit
or send.
Core:
- cron/recipe_catalog.py — CronRecipe + RecipeSlot, 5 curated recipes,
recipe_form_schema / recipe_slash_command / recipe_deeplink /
recipe_catalog_entry renderers, fill_recipe (validate + translate to
create_job kwargs).
- hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py — shared /cron-recipe handler (CLI + TUI +
gateway never drift). CommandDef + dispatch in commands.py / cli.py /
gateway/run.py.
Dashboard: GET /api/cron/recipes + POST /api/cron/recipes/instantiate
(web_server.py), CronRecipes.tsx gallery+form, Segmented sub-tab on CronPage,
api.ts methods + types.
Desktop: hermes:// scheme end to end (main.cjs deep-link router + ready-queue,
preload onDeepLink/signalDeepLinkReady, global.d.ts types, desktop-controller
composer prefill, electron-builder protocols key).
Docs: extract-cron-recipes.py generator wired into prebuild.mjs,
cron-recipes-catalog.mdx + CronRecipesCatalog React component, sidebar entry.
Generated index json gitignored like skills.json.
Tests: 23 core (catalog/slots/schedule-resolution/validation/renderers/command
handler/generator) + 5 web_server endpoint tests. E2E verified end to end:
slot fill -> create_job -> persisted job with correct schedule/deliver/origin.
Hermes can propose automations and let the user accept them with one tap
via /suggestions, instead of making them assemble cron jobs by hand. Every
proposal — wherever it originates — flows through one surface.
Sources (the 'where suggestions come from'):
- catalog: curated starter automations (daily briefing, important-mail
monitor, weekly review, workday-start reminder) via /suggestions catalog
- recipe: installing a skill that carries a metadata.hermes.recipe block
registers a suggestion instead of auto-scheduling
- usage / integration: reserved for the background-review detector and
account-connect triggers (sources defined; emitters land next)
Pieces:
- cron/suggestions.py — the store. add/list/accept/dismiss, dedup+latch by
key (dismissed proposals never re-offered), pending cap so it can't become
a nag wall. Accepting calls the existing cron.jobs.create_job — there is
NO second job engine. Mirrors jobs.py storage (atomic writes, lock, 0600).
- cron/suggestion_catalog.py — the curated set. The important-mail monitor
entry is where the old proactive-monitor poll->classify->surface engine
lives now (cron/scripts/classify_items.py + the 'monitor' aux task), as ONE
catalog automation rather than a standalone feature.
- tools/recipes.py — recipe<->job bridge; register_recipe_suggestion() makes
a recipe source 'recipe' of this surface. recipe_to_job_spec() is the single
translation both the direct and suggestion paths share.
- hermes_cli/suggestions_cmd.py — shared /suggestions handler (CLI + gateway
never drift); /suggestions [accept N|dismiss N|catalog|clear].
- Wired: CommandDef + CLI dispatch (cli.py) + gateway dispatch (gateway/run.py)
+ aux 'monitor' task (config.py) + recipe-install hook (skills_hub.py).
Consent-first throughout: nothing auto-schedules; acceptance is always
explicit; dismissals latch.
Supersedes #41122 (proactive-monitor) and #41127 (recipes): both fold in here
as a catalog entry and a suggestion source respectively.
Tests: store (dedup/cap/accept/dismiss/latch), catalog seeding+idempotency,
recipe->suggestion bridge, command handler, aux config. E2E: recipe SKILL.md
-> parsed -> suggested -> accepted -> real cron job persisted to jobs.json.
* fix(mcp): propagate HERMES_HOME override onto the MCP event loop
Closes the known limit documented in #44007: tasks scheduled via
run_coroutine_threadsafe are created INSIDE the MCP loop thread, so they
copy that thread's context — a per-request profile scope (dashboard
?profile= endpoints, e.g. the MCP 'Test server' probe) silently vanished
for anything resolving get_hermes_home() inside the coroutine. Most
visible symptom: OAuth token-store paths (HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/)
resolved against the process home instead of the selected profile, so
testing an OAuth MCP cross-profile read the wrong tokens.
_run_on_mcp_loop now wraps scheduled coroutines with the caller's
context-local override (_wrap_with_home_override): set inside the task's
own context on the loop, reset on completion — task-local, so concurrent
calls carrying different scopes don't interfere, and the loop thread's
default context stays untouched. No-op (coroutine passes through
unwrapped) when no override is active, i.e. every non-dashboard caller.
web_server's probe comment updated from 'known limit' to 'covered'.
Tests: override propagation (direct + factory form), OAuth token-path
resolution on the loop, loop-context cleanliness after scoped calls,
no-op passthrough. 225 green across mcp_tool + unification suites.
* test(mcp): concurrent different-scope calls don't interfere
Make Parallel the web search/extract backend with a zero-setup free tier:
- Keyless (no PARALLEL_API_KEY): web_search/web_extract work out of the box via
Parallel's free hosted Search MCP (search.parallel.ai/mcp), and parallel
becomes the default backend when no other web credentials are configured
(ahead of ddgs, which is search-only). A small hand-rolled Streamable-HTTP
JSON-RPC client speaks the MCP's web_search/web_fetch tools; the existing
web_search/web_extract tools are the only tools registered.
- Keyed (PARALLEL_API_KEY set): uses the Parallel v1 REST endpoints
(client.search / client.extract with advanced_settings.full_content) — no beta.
Bumps parallel-web 0.4.2 -> 0.6.0.
- Attribution: on the free path only, results carry provider/attribution and the
CLI tool line reads "Parallel search" / "Parallel fetch"; the paid path is
unbranded.
- Selection/registration: web tools register unconditionally (free MCP backstop)
while check_web_api_key remains a real usability probe; explicit per-capability
backends are honored (so misconfig surfaces) rather than masked by the fallback.
Tested: live web_search/web_extract against search.parallel.ai in keyless and
keyed modes; unit suites for the MCP client, backend selection, and display
labeling; full agent run shows the "Parallel search" label on the free path.
Add execution-time coverage that bare `provider="custom"` resolves a literal
providers.custom endpoint (and still falls through when none exists), plus
creation-time coverage that `_resolve_model_override` keeps a resolvable
"custom" and only pins the main provider when it is unresolvable.
- Add output_path suffix assertions (.ogg Telegram / .mp3 non-Telegram) to
_send_voice_reply tests, covering the OGG voice-note path that landed on
main in ae82eed2b (the PR's third commit was redundant with it).
- Convert test_gemini_default_is_32000 back to an invariant against
PROVIDER_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH instead of a hardcoded literal.
- Map barronlroth@gmail.com -> barronlroth in scripts/release.py.
The grandchild wrote its pid with open('w').write(...), so the polling
reader in the test could observe the file after creation but before the
write flushed, parsing '' -> ValueError: invalid literal for int().
Write to a temp file and os.replace() it into place so the pid file only
ever appears fully written.
Follow-ups to #38199/#43354 found in post-merge review:
- Inline CLI memory approval never worked: the per-thread approval callback
was not passed to prompt_dangerous_approval, so the prompt_toolkit
fail-closed guard (#15216) denied every gated foreground write without
showing a prompt. Now invokes the registered callback directly; a crashed
prompt falls back to staging instead of a silent deny.
- Gateway sessions claimed inline support but prompt_dangerous_approval has
no gateway round-trip (that lives in the pending-approval queue), so gated
gateway memory writes hit the input() fallback and denied. Gateway
contexts now stage for /memory pending review.
- /skills pending|approve|reject|diff|approval now works on the gateway
(gateway_config_gate on skills.write_approval), so skills staged from a
messaging session can be reviewed there. Diff output truncated for chat.
- memory_tool validates required params before the gate so invalid writes
are rejected immediately instead of staged and failing at approve time.
- Stale tri-state write_mode docstrings updated to the boolean gate; docs
table corrected (inline prompt is interactive-CLI-only).
- 6 new tests covering the interactive approve/deny/error paths, gateway
staging, skills never-prompt invariant, and pre-gate validation.
The Matrix gateway requires mautrix[encryption] which pulls in
python-olm. While python-olm was removed from [all] due to missing
Windows/macOS wheels, it has binary manylinux wheels for Linux
amd64/arm64. The Docker image only runs on Linux, so adding --extra
matrix to the uv sync line is safe.
libolm-dev is already in the apt-get install line for runtime linking.
Fixes: #30399
Browse renders one page but the cold-cache fallback walked the entire
50k+ ClawHub catalog, then sliced off the first N — pure waste behind the
12s budget band-aid. _load_catalog_index now takes max_items: browse's
empty-query path bounds the walk to its limit and stops early; the offline
index builder still passes limit=0 (unbounded) and walks to exhaustion.
A bounded walk is partial, so it is not written to the shared full-catalog
cache (same poison-guard as the budget-truncated case).
Backend selection ordered firecrawl (including the Nous-managed-tool-gateway
probe) ahead of explicit-credential backends, so a user who had both a
Nous OAuth token AND a TAVILY_API_KEY (or EXA/PARALLEL key) got firecrawl
auto-selected — then the request failed at runtime because the free Nous
tier does not include web search, and there is no fallback to the next
available backend. Explicit user setup lost to a managed convenience.
Reorder so direct-credential backends (tavily > exa > parallel > firecrawl-
direct) are tried first, then the managed-gateway firecrawl probe, then
free-tier fallbacks. Behaviour for users with only Nous OAuth (no
explicit key) is unchanged — firecrawl-via-gateway is still selected.
Behaviour change to flag: a user with BOTH a Nous OAuth token AND a
TAVILY_API_KEY (or EXA/PARALLEL key) now gets the explicit backend
instead of the managed gateway. This matches the principle of least
surprise — a user does not set TAVILY_API_KEY without intent — and
sidesteps the silent runtime failure of the gateway path on free tiers.
parallel_search_sources accepted an overall_timeout but never honoured it.
The ThreadPoolExecutor ran inside a `with ... as pool` block, whose __exit__
calls shutdown(wait=True); even after as_completed() raised TimeoutError on
schedule, leaving the block blocked the caller until every worker finished.
A single slow source (e.g. ClawHub) therefore stalled the entire browse for
minutes. Manage the executor manually and shut it down with
wait=False, cancel_futures=True in a finally, so the timeout actually returns
and not-yet-started work is dropped.
ClawHubSource._load_catalog_index walked up to 750 sequential pages with no
wall-clock bound (each request under its own timeout=30, so nothing errored),
and wrote the result to the index cache unconditionally — so an interrupted or
slow walk poisoned the cache with a partial catalog. Add a
CATALOG_WALK_BUDGET_SECONDS deadline that breaks the walk early, and only write
the cache when the walk reaches a natural stop (cursor exhausted or page cap),
never on a budget-truncated walk.
Adds regression tests covering both bugs (timeout honoured + slow source
flagged; budget abort does not poison cache) plus their happy-path invariants.
xAI's consent page renders the authorization code in-page instead of
redirecting to the loopback callback, so the listener just hangs and the
manual-paste flow demands a callback URL that never contains the token.
- auth.py: poll stdin non-blockingly while waiting for the xAI loopback
callback; accept a pasted bare Grok Build code and substitute the locally
generated state (PKCE code_verifier still binds the exchange). No need to
wait for timeout or re-run with --manual-paste.
- computer_use: parse PNG/JPEG dimensions from base64 and fall back to the
text/AX/SOM payload when the screenshot is below the provider minimum
(8x8), which xAI rejects with HTTP 400.
- model_setup_flows.py: xAI credential reuse prompt uses the standard radio
picker via a shared _prompt_auth_credentials_choice helper.
- main.py: thread a title through _prompt_provider_choice; re-home the helper
import (flows live in model_setup_flows.py post-decomposition).
Salvaged from #36781 onto current main (contributor's main.py edits re-homed
to model_setup_flows.py, where the flows were extracted since the PR opened).
The shipped tri-state write_mode (on|off|approve) conflated two concepts —
whether writes are enabled and whether they're gated — so 'on' (writes flow
freely, gate inactive) read like 'gating is on'. Replace it with a single
clear boolean gate that defaults off.
memory.write_approval / skills.write_approval:
false (default) — write freely; the approval gate is off (pre-gate behaviour)
true — require approval: memory foreground prompts inline, memory
background-review + all skill writes stage for review
The old 'off = block all writes' mode is dropped; memory_enabled: false already
disables memory entirely, so a third 'block' state was redundant.
- tools/write_approval.py: get_write_mode/MODE_* → write_approval_enabled() bool;
evaluate_gate() loses the config-driven 'blocked' path (blocked now only comes
from an interactive user denial).
- tools/memory_tool.py, tools/skill_manager_tool.py: comment + behaviour follow.
- hermes_cli/config.py: memory/skills write_mode → write_approval (False);
_config_version 28→29 with a 28→29 migration that renames any persisted
write_mode (approve→true, on/off/unset→false) and drops the old key.
- slash commands: '/memory|/skills mode <on|off|approve>' → 'approval <on|off>'
('mode' kept as a back-compat alias); set_mode_fn callback now takes a bool.
- write_approval_commands.py, cli_commands_mixin.py, gateway/slash_commands.py,
commands.py: handlers + registry args/subcommands updated.
- docs + tests rewritten for the boolean model; added migration tests.
skills_list() surfaces each skill's frontmatter `name:`, but skill_view()
only matched on the on-disk directory name (Strategy 2). When a skill's
directory is a shorter category/alias that differs from its frontmatter
name, skill_view(name) failed to find it. Extend the recursive Strategy-2
walk to also match frontmatter `name:`, guarded by a try/except so an
unreadable/malformed SKILL.md can't break discovery.
Adds a regression test that creates a skill whose directory name differs
from its frontmatter name and asserts skill_view resolves it (fails on
current main, passes with this change).
Salvaged the skill_view fix from #39682 onto current main as a standalone,
single-concern change with the test the original PR lacked.

Adds memory.write_mode and skills.write_mode (on|off|approve), applied to
both foreground turns and the background self-improvement review fork — the
source of the unprompted 'wrong assumption' saves users reported.
- on (default): write freely, unchanged behaviour
- off: never write; the tool returns a clean disabled result
- approve: don't commit. Memory foreground writes prompt inline (small,
reviewable in a chat bubble); background memory writes and ALL skill writes
stage to a pending store instead (a SKILL.md is too large to review inline,
and a daemon thread can't block on a prompt)
Review staged writes from CLI or any messaging platform:
/memory pending|approve|reject|mode
/skills pending|approve|reject|diff|mode
Skill review respects the size asymmetry: inline you see a one-line gist;
the full unified diff stays out-of-band (/skills diff, dashboard, or the
staged JSON file).
New: tools/write_approval.py (gate + pending store), hermes_cli/
write_approval_commands.py (shared CLI+gateway handlers). Gates wired at the
single entry points memory_tool() and skill_manage(), using the existing
write-origin ContextVar to distinguish foreground from background_review.
* fix(terminal): complete sane PATH entries on POSIX
Fixes macOS gateway/launchd terminal sessions whose PATH already
includes /usr/bin while omitting Apple Silicon Homebrew paths.
LocalEnvironment._make_run_env() now appends each missing _SANE_PATH
entry individually on POSIX, preserving caller precedence and avoiding
duplicate sane entries.
Root cause: the previous logic used /usr/bin as the sentinel for sane
PATH injection. macOS launchd commonly provides /usr/bin while leaving
out /opt/homebrew/bin and /opt/homebrew/sbin, so Homebrew-installed
CLIs stayed unavailable in terminal tool calls.
Salvaged from #35614 by @y0shua1ee. Fixes#35613.

* test(terminal): harden sane PATH completion against dup/empty entries
Follow-up to the #35613 fix. Strengthens _append_missing_sane_path_entries:
- De-duplicate the caller-supplied PATH (first occurrence wins) so a PATH
that already contains duplicate entries is collapsed rather than carried
through. Previously only newly-appended sane entries were guarded against
duplication; pre-existing caller duplicates were preserved verbatim.
- Drop empty PATH entries (leading/trailing/double ':'), which POSIX shells
interpret as the current working directory — a mild foot-gun in a
default terminal environment.
Behaviour for well-formed PATHs (no duplicates, no empty entries) is
byte-identical to before; only malformed/duplicated inputs change.
Adds regression tests for: the literal macOS launchd PATH
(/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin), caller-duplicate collapsing with
order preservation, and empty-entry stripping.
* docs(terminal): clarify PATH normalisation semantics; drop dead set add
Addresses review findings on the sane-PATH completion follow-up:
- Sharpen the _append_missing_sane_path_entries docstring to state
explicitly that on POSIX the caller PATH is rewritten (empty entries
stripped, duplicates collapsed) rather than merely appended to, and
that well-formed PATHs remain byte-identical bar the appended sane
entries. This makes the intentional semantic change visible rather
than buried under "hardening".
- Document why _path_env_key is a deliberate second Windows guard
distinct from the helper's early return (key-casing selection vs
standalone safety), so neither is mistaken for redundant and removed.
- Drop the dead `seen.add(entry)` in the sane-entry loop: _SANE_PATH is
a static duplicate-free constant, so the membership check against the
caller entries is sufficient and `seen` is never read afterwards.
No behaviour change: verified byte-identical output across the launchd,
minimal, empty, duplicate, empty-entry and already-full cases, and
re-confirmed gh/brew resolve through the real LocalEnvironment.execute()
path under a launchd-style PATH. 133 targeted tests pass.
Intentionally NOT consolidating with tools/browser_tool._merge_browser_path:
it prepends (vs append), filters on os.path.isdir, uses os.pathsep, and
draws from a dynamic candidate set — a shared helper is a separate
refactor, out of scope for this bugfix.

`test_terminal_config_env_sync.py::_save_config_env_sync_keys()`
AST-scanned `hermes_cli/config.py:set_config_value` for a
`_config_to_env_sync = {...}` literal. The terminal-config env bridging
was consolidated onto the canonical `TERMINAL_CONFIG_ENV_MAP` (now read
via `terminal_config_env_var_for_key()`), so that literal no longer
exists and the scanner raised:
AssertionError: Could not find `_config_to_env_sync = {...}` literal in source
failing 8 of 9 tests on main for every PR.
Read the live `TERMINAL_CONFIG_ENV_MAP` instead — the actual source of
truth `set_config_value` bridges through — mirroring its `terminal.cwd`
exclusion. Refresh the stale module docstring and the now-incorrect
error-message hints that still referenced `_config_to_env_sync`.
Verified: the suite goes green, and a mutation (dropping `docker_volumes`
from `TERMINAL_CONFIG_ENV_MAP`) still trips the pinned regression test,
so the drift guard retains its teeth.
The blanket stdin=subprocess.DEVNULL pass added the kwarg to the docker
'version' preflight call; the test pinned the exact kwargs dict. Update
the expected dict to match.
Regression tests for the salvage follow-up: the interactive 'claude
setup-token' login must keep inherited stdin, and the guard's inline
'noqa: subprocess-stdin' marker must exempt a call.
Allow PHOTON_HOME_CHANNEL to accept a bare E.164 phone number or a
`any;-;+1...` DM chat GUID in addition to a Spectrum space id. Inbound
DM spaces are cached so replies resolve without a second SDK lookup,
and `photon` is added to _PHONE_PLATFORMS so send_message treats E.164
strings as explicit targets rather than falling through to channel-name
resolution.
Two narrow Windows desktop fixes:
1. tools/process_registry.py — PTY stdin writes are now platform-aware.
pywinpty (Windows) expects str; ptyprocess (POSIX) expects bytes.
Previously bytes was unconditionally passed, producing a TypeError on
Windows ("'bytes' object cannot be converted to 'PyString'").
2. tui_gateway/server.py + ws.py — Detached WebSocket sessions now park on
a _DropTransport sink instead of _stdio_transport. In the desktop the
gateway runs in-process and stdout is captured by Electron into
desktop.log, so falling back to stdio leaked raw JSON-RPC frames into
the desktop log after WS disconnects. Orphan-reap semantics are
preserved via _ws_session_is_orphaned.
Verified on a Windows desktop install:
- pywinpty 2.0.15 rejects bytes / accepts str — reproduced exactly
- Focused suite green (write_stdin × 2, write_json_drops_detached_ws_frames,
ws_orphan_reap × 2)
- All 6 CI test shards green, e2e green, nix (ubuntu/macos) green
Salvage commit (21be7ca) fixes the new test referencing an undefined
_ThreadUnsafeStdout — uses the existing _ChunkyStdout helper.
Completes the worktree-misroute fix from #35399, which made misroutes
visible (resolved_path) but did not prevent them: its divergence warning
only fired once a terminal command had populated the live cwd registry.
A fresh worktree session (registry still empty) with a stale TERMINAL_CWD='.'
got neither a worktree anchor nor a warning, so a relative write_file/patch
silently landed in the MAIN checkout.
Two changes in tools/file_tools.py:
- Treat sentinel TERMINAL_CWD values ('', '.', './', 'auto', 'cwd') and any
relative value as UNSET rather than a literal anchor. Previously '.' was
joined onto the process cwd, silently routing edits to wherever the process
happened to be (the main repo, in a worktree session). The gateway already
sanitizes the same set at import time; the file-tool layer now matches.
- New _authoritative_workspace_root(): prefers the live terminal cwd, else a
sentinel-free absolute TERMINAL_CWD (the worktree path cli.py/main.py set
for -w). _resolve_base_dir() and _path_resolution_warning() both use it, so
a worktree session resolves into — and warns about escaping — the worktree
from the very first write, before any cd has run.
Validation: 11 new/parametrized tests (sentinel handling, empty-registry
anchoring, early divergence warning, live-cwd precedence). 32/32 pass under
scripts/run_tests.sh. Live E2E: relative write in an empty-registry worktree
session lands in the worktree, main untouched.
When register_task_env_overrides is called with only a 'cwd' key
(ACP adapter workspace tracking), the task_id should collapse to
'default' so all interactive surfaces (TUI, gateway, dashboard)
share one long-lived container.
Previously, any override registration — even CWD-only — caused
_resolve_container_task_id to return the session key unchanged,
spinning up a separate container per session. This made it
impossible to authenticate into external services once and have
that auth available across all surfaces.
Now only overrides containing isolation keys (docker_image,
modal_image, singularity_image, daytona_image, env_type) trigger
per-task container isolation.
Fixes#37361
* fix(memory): make overflow errors instruct in-turn consolidation + retry
When bounded memory is full, the add/replace overflow errors now explicitly
tell the model to consolidate (merge/remove/shorten) and retry the write in
the same turn, matching the documented behavior. The replace-overflow path
now also echoes current_entries + usage for parity with add-overflow, so the
model has the same context to act on.
Closes#23378 (working-as-documented; this sharpens runtime to match docs).
* fix(memory): broaden overflow remediation hint beyond 'stale'
Say 'stale or less important' — entries don't have to be stale to be the
right ones to drop when making room.
Subagents delegated to a custom endpoint were misrouted when the parent
ran on a different custom endpoint. Both runtimes collapse to
provider="custom", so _resolve_child_credential_pool() treated them as
interchangeable and handed the child the parent's pool. Leasing from it
then overwrote the child's delegated base_url with the parent's endpoint
via _swap_credential() — the child sent the delegated model name to the
wrong endpoint.
Custom runtimes now resolve by endpoint identity (the custom:<name> pool
key derived from base_url). The parent pool is reused only when both
parent and child resolve to the same custom endpoint; unregistered raw
endpoints return None so the child keeps its fixed delegated credential.
Non-custom provider paths are unchanged.
Fixes#7833.
The todo list is re-injected into the model's context after every
context-compression event (TodoStore.format_for_injection), so an oversized
todo item or an unbounded number of items defeats the compression it is meant
to ride through. TodoStore.write/_validate previously enforced no size or count
bounds, so a single 50KB item produced a ~50KB re-injection block on every
subsequent turn.
Add two caps:
- MAX_TODO_CONTENT_CHARS (4000): per-item content is truncated with a marker.
Routed through a shared _cap_content() so the merge-update path (which writes
content directly, bypassing _validate) is capped too.
- MAX_TODO_ITEMS (256): total list length is bounded, keeping the
highest-priority head (list order is priority).
Both caps are generous relative to real plans — a todo item is a short task
description and active lists are a handful of items.
NOT a security fix. Raised externally via GHSA-5g4g-6jrg-mw3g, which framed a
caller-supplied conversation_history on the authenticated API server replaying
into _hydrate_todo_store as a DoS. That path is authenticated (the API server
refuses to start without API_SERVER_KEY) and self-scoped (the caller supplies
their own entire history and can only inflate their own response chain — forged
role=tool entries are never persisted to the session DB), so it is out of scope
as a vulnerability under SECURITY.md 3.2. These bounds are footgun containment
that also applies to the trusted agent path, where the model itself authors the
todos. Credit to the reporter for the observation.

Follow-up to #34306. The provider fix made SearXNG *usable* with a
config-only SEARXNG_URL, but tools/web_tools._has_env still read raw
os.getenv, so the backend auto-detect cascade and check_web_api_key
remained blind to it — SearXNG worked when explicitly selected but was
never auto-selected. Route _has_env (and the SearXNG diagnostic print)
through a config-aware _env_value helper mirroring the provider's
_searxng_url(). Fixing the shared helper covers every provider key in
one place. Adds regression tests for config-only auto-detect and
check_web_api_key. See #34290.
#40909 added `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` to `windows_detach_flags()`,
which fixed the headline bug (gateway dies after Desktop GUI update
and never comes back). The flag's own docstring acknowledges that
restrictive parent job objects can still refuse breakaway with
`ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`, surfacing as `OSError` on the `subprocess.Popen`
call:
"Callers in this codebase already wrap detached spawns in
try/except OSError and fall back to a cmd.exe wrapper, so the
breakaway-denied case degrades gracefully rather than crashing."
That's true for `_spawn_detached` in `gateway_windows.py` (the
`hermes gateway start` path), which has both the breakaway bit AND a
retry-without-breakaway fallback. It's NOT true for the post-update
watcher path in `launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart`
(`hermes_cli/gateway.py`), which only has `except OSError: return
False` and gives up entirely. If a user's shell/terminal/container
wraps Hermes in a breakaway-denying job, the gateway-respawn watcher
silently fails to launch instead of trying again without breakaway.
This PR closes that gap and adds the regression tests that were
missing from the original fix.
## Changes
### `hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py`
Adds a sibling helper `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()` so
callers can express the fallback symbolically (via the helper) rather
than coding the magic `& ~0x01000000` mask at every site. Documented
on `windows_detach_flags` and `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway`
with the recommended try/except pattern.
### `hermes_cli/gateway.py::launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart`
Two changes, both aligned with the canonical pattern in
`gateway_windows._spawn_detached`:
1. The outer watcher Popen now wraps in `try/except OSError`, and on
failure retries with `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()`
(POSIX never reaches this branch — `start_new_session=True` can't
raise OSError).
2. The inlined respawn payload (the `python -c` watcher) also
wraps its CreateProcess in try/except OSError and retries with
`_flags & ~_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` on failure. This matters
because the watcher's job-object inheritance is independent of the
outer process's — even if the outer Popen succeeds with breakaway,
the respawned gateway might inherit a job that doesn't.
### Regression tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py`
#40909 shipped the fix without any test that the breakaway bit is
present (the existing `test_windows_detach_flags_has_expected_win32_bits`
asserted only the three legacy bits). Four new tests close that:
- `test_windows_detach_flags_includes_breakaway_from_job` — explicit
assertion that the breakaway bit is in the default bundle, with the
rationale spelled out in the docstring so a future maintainer
staring at this test understands why removing it would resurrect
the gateway-dies-after-GUI-update bug.
- `test_windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway_drops_only_that_bit`
— fallback payload keeps the other three detach bits intact.
- `test_launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart_inlined_watcher_uses_breakaway`
— static-text check on the stringified watcher payload. The inlined
Python program isn't reachable via normal import-time inspection
because it lives in a `textwrap.dedent("""...""")` literal that
gets passed to a separate `python -c` interpreter. Asserting that
both `_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` (symbolic) and `0x01000000` (hex
literal) appear inside the dedent block is a sufficient regression
guard against accidental refactors.
- `test_launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart_outer_popen_has_access_denied_fallback`
— static check that this PR's fallback retry is wired up
symbolically. Without standing up a real Windows job object that
refuses breakaway, we can't trigger the OSError in a unit test;
the text guard catches the case where a future refactor removes
the helper import or the `& ~_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` retry.
Also extends `test_windows_detach_flags_has_expected_win32_bits` to
include the breakaway bit assertion and updates
`test_windows_flags_zero_on_posix` to cover the new helper.
## Tests
Locally on Windows: 8/8 in the `-k "detach or breakaway or
popen_kwargs or launch_detached or gateway_run_update or
hermes_cli_gateway"` slice pass.
Broader `tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway*.py + test_windows_native_support.py`:
172 passed, 10 failed. All 10 failures are pre-existing POSIX-only
tests running on a Windows host (os.geteuid, SIGKILL fallback,
is_linux fixture mismatches). Stashing this PR and re-running on bare
post-#40909 main reproduces all 10 identically — none are regressions.
POSIX paths unchanged: `windows_detach_flags()` and
`windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()` both return 0 off Windows,
`windows_detach_popen_kwargs()` still yields `{"start_new_session": True}`.
## Out of scope
- The other detached-spawn site in `hermes_cli/gateway.py` (around
line 3068) also uses `windows_detach_popen_kwargs()` + `except
OSError`. It deserves the same fallback treatment but the codepath
is different enough (not the update-flow watcher) that it warrants
a separate PR with its own scrutiny.
- `gateway/run.py` has Windows branches with `windows_detach_popen_kwargs`
too — same reasoning.
## Context
Follow-up to #40909 (merged). I had a parallel PR (#40934, closed)
that duplicated the core breakaway fix; the bits unique to that PR
that #40909 didn't cover are the contents of this one. Closing #40934
and opening this slimmed-down version as the focused follow-up.
Follow-up on the backend-visible artifact-path fix.
- Extract the cache-mount iteration loop into a reusable, backend-agnostic
credential_files.map_cache_path_to_container(host_path, container_base) that
returns the POSIX container path or None. to_agent_visible_cache_path() now
delegates to it (keeping its Docker-only gate), and image_generation_tool's
_agent_visible_cache_path() delegates to it too — eliminating the duplicated
loop and the divergent path-join (posixpath vs Path) between the two.
- Drop the now-unused posixpath/Path imports from image_generation_tool.py.
- Document the agent_visible_cache_base getattr probe as a forward-looking
optional hook (no producer yet) so it doesn't read as a typo'd attribute.
- Add unit tests for map_cache_path_to_container.
Move gateway/platforms/homeassistant.py into plugins/platforms/homeassistant/
following the same shape as the Mattermost and Discord migrations.
- Adapter file is renamed via git mv (history is preserved).
- register() exposes the platform via the plugin system instead of the
hardcoded Platform.HOMEASSISTANT elif in gateway/run.py::build_adapter().
- _standalone_send() replaces the legacy _send_homeassistant() helper in
tools/send_message_tool.py. Out-of-process cron delivery
(deliver=homeassistant from a cron process not co-located with the
gateway) now flows through the registry's standalone_sender_fn path
instead of the hardcoded elif.
- _is_connected() probes HASS_TOKEN via hermes_cli.gateway.get_env_value
so existing connected-platform checks behave identically.
The HASS_TOKEN / HASS_URL env-to-PlatformConfig seeding in
gateway/config.py stays in core — same pattern bluebubbles, mattermost,
and discord migrations followed. No setup_fn or apply_yaml_config_fn is
registered because Home Assistant has no _setup_homeassistant wizard in
hermes_cli/setup.py and no homeassistant: YAML block in config.yaml today;
setup runs through the existing hermes_cli/tools_config.py toolset wizard.
Test imports were rewritten across tests/gateway/test_homeassistant.py,
tests/integration/test_ha_integration.py, and
tests/tools/test_send_message_missing_platforms.py; the legacy
(token, extra, chat_id, message)-shaped _send_homeassistant call site is
preserved via a small SimpleNamespace shim in
test_send_message_missing_platforms.py (same approach used when
mattermost moved).
- Focused HA suites (64 tests across the three rewritten files) pass.
- Broader gateway/cron sweep produces 10 failures identical to main
baseline (telegram approval/model-picker xdist isolation flakes,
wecom_callback defusedxml issue, cron script_timeout fixture issue).
Zero net new failures.
Follow-up on the cherry-picked content-block fix. _extract_output_tail
(the live subagent overlay) still used crude str(content), which renders
a "[{'type': 'text'...}]" blob and — worse — mislabels a block-wrapped
"Error: ..." result as is_error=False. Route it through the same
_stringify_tool_content helper so error detection and previews work at
both consumer sites.
- delegate_tool.py: _extract_output_tail uses _stringify_tool_content
- tests: add _extract_output_tail content-block test (error detection +
clean preview)
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for randomsnowflake (CI gate)
The error guard in _search_with_rg/_search_with_grep was unreachable and,
if it had fired, would have discarded valid results.
Two root causes:
1. Unreachable. Both methods pipe the search through `| head` with no
pipefail, so the pipeline reported head's exit code (0), masking rg/grep's
error code (2). The guard never fired. Worse, because _exec merges stderr
into stdout (stderr=subprocess.STDOUT), the error text was then parsed as
bogus match lines instead of being surfaced — the user got garbage matches
with no indication the search failed.
2. Latent results-dropping. The original `not result.stdout.strip()` check
was always False on error (error text lives in stdout), and the
`hasattr(result, 'stderr')` branch was dead code (ExecuteResult has no
stderr field). A naive broadening to `exit_code == 2` would have nuked
real matches whenever rg/grep also hit a non-fatal error (e.g. one
unreadable file in a tree that otherwise matched), which both tools signal
with exit 2.
Fix:
- Prefix the piped command with `set -o pipefail` so rg/grep's real exit
status propagates. rg exits 0 on a truncating head; grep exits 141
(SIGPIPE), so the strict `== 2` guard ignores truncated-success.
- Add _split_tool_diagnostics() to separate tool diagnostics from match
output by tool prefix and output shape. Diagnostics never become matches;
on a hard error they are the message to surface.
- Only surface an error when exit==2 AND no usable match payload remains, so
partial errors keep their real matches.
Tests: tests/tools/test_search_error_guard.py drives both methods through the
real local backend (hard error surfaced, partial error keeps matches,
truncation no false error, files_only/count exclude diagnostics) plus unit
coverage for the splitter.
Supersedes #39710.
* fix: respect disabled auto-compaction on context overflow
Port from anomalyco/opencode#30749.
When compression.enabled is false, NO automatic compaction trigger may
fire. The proactive token-threshold paths (preflight + post-response
should_compress gate) already honoured the setting, but the three
provider-overflow recovery paths in the agent loop — long-context-tier
429, 413 payload-too-large, and context-overflow — called
_compress_context() unconditionally, silently compressing and rotating
the session against the user's explicit choice.
Add a single guard at the top of the overflow-recovery dispatch: when
compression is disabled and the error is one of those three overflow
classes, surface a terminal error (compaction_disabled: True) telling the
user to /compress manually, /new, switch to a larger-context model, or
reduce attachments. Manual /compress (force=True) is unaffected — it never
enters this loop.
Tests: new TestOverflowWithCompactionDisabled (413 + 400 overflow don't
compress when disabled; control case still compresses when enabled).
Existing overflow-recovery tests updated to enable compaction explicitly
(they verify the recovery fires); fixture defaults flipped to True to
match production (compression.enabled defaults to True).
* feat(delegation): uncap max_spawn_depth to match max_concurrent_children
Removed the hard ceiling of 3 on delegation.max_spawn_depth. Depth now has
a floor of 1 and no upper limit, mirroring max_concurrent_children. Cost
(each level multiplies API spend) is the practical limiter, not a constant.
- delegate_tool.py: drop _MAX_SPAWN_DEPTH_CAP, _get_max_spawn_depth() floors
at 1 instead of clamping to [1,3]; depth-limit error string reworded
- config.py / cli-config.yaml.example: doc comments say floor 1, no ceiling
- docs (configuration, delegation, delegation-patterns): range 1-3 -> >=1
- tests: convert clamp-above-3 change-detector into a no-ceiling invariant,
drop the _MAX_SPAWN_DEPTH_CAP==3 snapshot assert, fix warning-text assert
Add HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN to the Hermes-managed subprocess environment blocklist so dashboard authorization material does not propagate into shell, PTY, or background process launches.
Extend the local environment blocklist regression coverage to prove the dashboard session token is stripped like other Hermes-managed secrets.
`os.getcwd()` raises FileNotFoundError when the process's working
directory was removed out from under it (e.g. a scratch workspace
cleaned up mid-session), crashing terminal env setup.
Extract a `_safe_getcwd()` helper that falls back to TERMINAL_CWD, then
the user's home, on FileNotFoundError, and route all three `os.getcwd()`
call sites in terminal_tool.py through it (local default_cwd, the Docker
cwd-passthrough source, and the debug-config print) so the same crash
can't resurface at a sibling site. Adds unit tests for the real-cwd path
and both fallback branches.

check_execute_code_guard() never called is_approved() before entering the
approval flow, and never persisted session/permanent approvals from the
gateway response. This meant 'Approve session' and 'Always' buttons had
no effect — every execute_code call re-prompted the user.
- Add is_approved() check after get_current_session_key(), matching
check_all_command_guards()
- Persist session ('approve_session') and permanent ('approve_permanent')
approvals based on the gateway choice, same as terminal command guard
- Add 3 regression tests for session persistence, permanent persistence,
and short-circuit on pre-existing approval
