Each highlight now gets 2-3 sentences explaining the user-facing value,
not just the technical change. Targeted at someone discovering Hermes
for the first time who isn't deep in the codebase.
Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#1962: modern Signal V2-only groups surface on
dataMessage.groupV2.id, not groupInfo.groupId. signal-cli versions differ
in which field they expose for V2 groups — some forward the underlying
libsignal envelope verbatim (groupV2), others normalize everything into
groupInfo. Without a groupV2 read, V2-only groups appear as DMs because
groupInfo is undefined and the adapter misroutes them to the sender's
DM session.
Reads groupV2.id first, falls back to groupInfo.groupId. Also hardens
chat_name extraction against non-dict groupInfo payloads (crashed with
AttributeError under malformed envelopes).
6 new tests cover V2 routing, V1 legacy compatibility, V2-preferred
precedence, no-group DM path, allowlist enforcement, and malformed
payloads.
The video_gen toolset and its video_generate tool shipped without
user-facing reference docs. toolsets-reference.md and the dev-guide
plugin page were already in, but reference/tools-reference.md had no
video_gen section at all and user-guide/features/tools.md's Media row
didn't list video_generate.
- reference/tools-reference.md: add a video_gen section after video,
including backend list (xAI Grok-Imagine, FAL.ai Veo/Pixverse/Kling),
unified text-to-video / image-to-video surface note, link to the
dev-guide plugin page, and the video_generate tool row. Add
video_generate to the standalone-tools quick-counts line.
- user-guide/features/tools.md: extend Media row with video_generate
and video_analyze plus an opt-in caveat.
Two unit tests for run_hermes_oauth_login_pure():
1. test_authorization_url_state_is_not_pkce_verifier — asserts state in the
auth URL is independent from the PKCE code_verifier sent in the token
exchange, and that the verifier never appears in the URL.
2. test_callback_state_mismatch_aborts — asserts the flow returns None
(no token exchange) when the callback state does not match the value
we generated.
Negative control verified: reintroducing the b17e5c10 vulnerable pattern
(state = verifier, no callback validation) makes both tests fail.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for shaun0927 (contributor of the fix).
When the agent is running and the user sends multiple TEXT messages in
rapid succession, base.py's active-session branch stored the pending
event as a single-slot replacement:
self._pending_messages[session_key] = event
Three rapid messages A, B, C landed as: A (interrupts), B (replaces A
before consumer reads), C (replaces B). Only C reached the next turn —
A and B were silently dropped. This is the symptom in #4469.
Route the follow-up through merge_pending_message_event(..., merge_text=True)
so TEXT events accumulate into the existing pending event's text instead
of clobbering it. Photo and media bursts already merged through the same
helper; this just extends the merge_text path (already used by the
Telegram bursty-grace branch in gateway/run.py) to all platforms.
Test exercises BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message directly with the
session marked active and asserts three rapid TEXT events merge to
'part two\\npart three' rather than dropping the middle message.
Sanity-checked the test would fail without the fix.
Credits @devorun for the original investigation and analysis in #4491
that surfaced the underlying queue handling, though their fix targeted
GatewayRunner._pending_messages which is now dead state on main.
Follow-up improvements on top of @konsisumer's cherry-picked fix for #10648:
1. Deprecation patterns required BOTH a product fingerprint ('gh-copilot') and
a deprecation marker. The previous list included 'copilot-cli' and bare
'deprecation', which would false-positive on stderr from the NEW
@github/copilot CLI — whose repo is literally github.com/github/copilot-cli
and which legitimately surfaces those substrings in its own messages.
2. Replace the deprecation hint. The user in #10648 installed
'gh extension install github/gh-copilot' (the deprecated extension)
thinking that's what ACP mode uses, when ACP actually spawns the new
'copilot' binary from '@github/copilot'. The hint now points users at the
correct install command ('npm install -g @github/copilot') with the new
CLI's repo URL, and demotes provider-switching to a fallback alternative.
3. Change _URL_TO_PROVIDER value for models.inference.ai.azure.com from the
'github-models' alias to the canonical 'copilot' provider id, matching the
convention used by every other entry in the table.
4. Sharpen the 413 hint message. The free tier's ~8K cap is below the
system-prompt floor, so this endpoint is fundamentally incompatible with
an agentic loop — not a 'use a different URL' problem.
Tests:
- New parametrized false-positive coverage for the new CLI's stderr shape.
- Updated assertion to require canonical 'copilot' provider mapping.
- All 14 deprecation/URL tests pass.
* feat(skills): add osint-investigation optional skill (closes#355)
Phase-1 public-records OSINT investigation framework adapted from
ShinMegamiBoson/OpenPlanter (MIT). Lives in optional-skills/research/.
Six data-source wiki entries (FEC, SEC EDGAR, USAspending, Senate LD,
OFAC SDN, ICIJ Offshore Leaks), each following the 9-section template:
summary, access, schema, coverage, cross-reference keys, data quality,
acquisition, legal, references.
Six stdlib-only acquisition scripts that emit normalized CSV, plus three
analysis scripts:
- entity_resolution.py — three-tier match (exact / fuzzy / token overlap)
with explicit confidence per row
- timing_analysis.py — permutation test for donation/contract timing
correlation, joins through cross-links
- build_findings.py — assembles structured findings.json with
evidence chains pointing back to source rows
Validation: full pipeline runs end-to-end on synthetic fixtures. Entity
resolution found 24 cross-matches with 0 false positives on a 5-row /
4-row test set. Timing analysis on 5 donations clustered near 3 awards
returned p=0.000, effect size 2.41 SD. Findings JSON correctly tags
HIGH-severity timing pattern. All 9 scripts pass --help and py_compile.
Docs site page auto-generated by website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py;
sidebar + catalog entries updated by the same generator.
* fix(osint-investigation): live API fixes from end-to-end sweep
Live-tested the skill on a real public-citizen query and found three bugs
the synthetic E2E missed. All three are now fixed and re-verified.
1. FEC fetch hung on contributor name searches.
The combination of two_year_transaction_period + sort=date +
contributor_name puts the OpenFEC query plan on a slow path that the
upstream gateway times out (25s+). Switched to min_date/max_date with no
explicit sort. Renamed --candidate to --contributor (the original name
was misleading: FEC searches by donor, not by candidate; --candidate is
kept as a deprecated alias). Added --state filter for narrowing.
2. ICIJ Offshore Leaks reconcile endpoint returns 404.
ICIJ removed the Open Refine reconciliation API. Rewrote
fetch_icij_offshore.py to download the official bulk CSV ZIP (~70 MB,
public, no auth) and search it locally. Cached under
$HERMES_OSINT_CACHE/icij/ (default ~/.cache/hermes-osint/icij/) for
30 days, --force-refresh to refetch. Verified live: 'PUTIN' query
returns 5 Panama Papers officer matches in 0.5s after first download.
3. SEC EDGAR silently returned 0 when the company-name resolver matched
an individual Form 3/4/5 filer (insider trading disclosures).
Now surfaces 'Resolved company X → CIK Y (Z)' on stderr, prints a
filing-type histogram when the type filter wipes results, and
explicitly warns when the matched CIK appears to be an individual
filer rather than a corporate registrant.
Bonus: _http.py was retrying 429 responses with exponential backoff plus
honoring (often-missing) Retry-After headers, which compounded into
multi-second hangs per page when the upstream key was over quota.
Changed to fail-fast on 429 with a clear, actionable error showing the
upstream's quota message. Verified: 0.3s fast-fail vs the previous 60s
hang on DEMO_KEY rate-limit exhaustion.
Updated SKILL.md, fec.md, and icij-offshore.md to match the new CLI
flags and ICIJ bulk-cache flow. Regenerated the docusaurus page via
website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py.
Live sweep results across all 6 sources for 'Dillon Rolnick, New York':
- OFAC SDN: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not sanctioned)
- USAspending: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not a federal contractor)
- Senate LDA: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not a lobbying client)
- SEC EDGAR: warns it resolved to 'Rolnick Michael' (CIK 0001845264)
who is an individual Form 3 filer, not a corporate registrant
- ICIJ: 0 matches ✓ (correctly not in any offshore leak)
- FEC: rate-limited (DEMO_KEY); fails fast with clear quota message
* feat(osint-investigation): expand to 12 sources covering identity, property, courts, archives, news
Phase-2 expansion per Teknium feedback that the original 6-source skill
(federal financial/regulatory only) wasn't a complete OSINT toolkit. Adds
6 more sources covering the major omissions a real investigation would
reach for first.
New sources (6 fetch scripts + 6 wiki entries):
1. NYC ACRIS — Real property records (deeds, mortgages, liens) via the
city's Socrata API. Search by party name or property address. Joins
Parties to Master to populate doc_type, dates, borough, and amount.
Coverage: 5 NYC boroughs, ~70M party records, 1966-present.
2. OpenCorporates — Global corporate registry covering 130+ jurisdictions
(~200M companies). Free API token at
https://opencorporates.com/api_accounts/new raises the rate limit;
HTML fallback works without one (limited fields).
3. CourtListener (Free Law Project) — federal + state court opinions
(~10M back to colonial era) + PACER dockets via RECAP. Anonymous v4
search works; COURTLISTENER_TOKEN raises rate limits.
4. Wayback Machine CDX — historical web captures (~900B+). Used both for
surveillance-of-record (when did this site change?) and as a
content-recovery layer when other sources point to dead URLs.
5. Wikipedia + Wikidata — narrative bio + structured facts. Wikipedia
OpenSearch for article matching, REST summary for extracts, Wikidata
Action API (wbgetentities) for claims. Avoids the SPARQL Query
Service which is aggressively rate-limited.
6. GDELT 2.0 DOC API — global news monitoring in 100+ languages,
~2015-present. Auto-retries with 6s backoff on the standard
1-req-per-5-sec throttle.
Other changes in this commit:
- SEC EDGAR no longer raises SystemExit when the company-name resolver
finds no CIK; writes an empty CSV with header so the rest of a
pipeline can keep moving and the warning is just on stderr.
- _http.py User-Agent updated per Wikimedia policy: includes app name,
version, and a 'set HERMES_OSINT_UA to identify yourself' instruction.
- SKILL.md workflow now groups sources into two clusters (federal
financial vs identity/property/courts/archives/news) with bash
examples for each. 'When to use this skill' lists the broader set of
investigation patterns the expanded sources unlock.
Live sweep results on 'Dillon Rolnick, New York' across all 12 sources:
ofac ✓ 0 (correctly clean)
icij ✓ 0 (correctly not in any leak)
usaspending ✓ 0 (correctly not a federal contractor)
senate_lda ✓ 0 (correctly not a lobbying client)
sec_edgar ✓ 0, warns: resolved to 'Rolnick Michael' (CIK 0001845264),
individual Form 3 filer, NOT a corporate registrant
fec — rate-limited (DEMO_KEY exhausted), fails fast with
clear quota message
nyc_acris ✓ 200 records named Rolnick across NYC; 48 records at
571 Hudson (the property the web identifies as his)
opencorporates ✓ 0 (no API token configured; HTML fallback)
courtlistener ✓ 0 for 'Dillon Rolnick'; 20 for 'Rolnick' generally;
5 for 'Microsoft' sanity check
wayback ✓ 30 captures of nousresearch.com from 2011-present
wikipedia ✓ 0 (correctly not notable enough); Bill Gates sanity
returns full structured facts (occupation, employer,
DOB, place of birth, country)
gdelt ✓ 0 for 'Dillon Rolnick'; 5 for 'Nous Research'
All 17 scripts compile clean and pass --help. Synthetic analysis pipeline
regression still passes (entity_resolution 30 matches, timing p=0.000,
findings 2).
* feat(osint-investigation): remove FEC; DEMO_KEY rate-limits make it unreliable
The FEC fetcher consistently failed the live sweep because the OpenFEC
DEMO_KEY tier (40 calls/hour) exhausts on a single investigation, and
the upstream returns slow-path query plans for unindexed contributor-name
searches that the gateway times out. Without a real API key it's not
usable; with one the user has to sign up at api.data.gov first. That's
too much setup friction for a skill that should work out of the box.
Removed:
- scripts/fetch_fec.py
- references/sources/fec.md
Updated:
- SKILL.md frontmatter description + tags
- 'When NOT to use' now points users at https://www.fec.gov/data/ for
federal donations
- entity_resolution example switched from donor↔contractor to
lobbying-client↔contractor (Senate LDA + USAspending pair)
- timing_analysis example switched to lobbying-filings vs awards
- 8 wiki entries had their 'FEC ↔ ...' cross-reference bullets removed
11 sources remain (5 federal financial + 6 identity/property/courts/
archives/news). All scripts compile, pass --help, and the synthetic
analysis pipeline still passes on the new lobbying-shaped regression
fixture (30 matches, p=0.000 on tight clustering, 2 findings).
Closes#10695. Picks up the still-vulnerable Python pins on current main:
- aiohttp 3.13.3 -> 3.13.4 (messaging, slack, homeassistant, sms extras +
lazy_deps platform.slack) — CVE-2026-34513 (DNS cache exhaustion),
CVE-2026-34518 (cookie/proxy-auth leak on cross-origin redirect, relevant
for the gateway since it handles OAuth tokens), CVE-2026-34519 (response
reason injection), CVE-2026-34520 (null bytes in headers), CVE-2026-34525
(multiple Host headers).
- anthropic 0.86.0 -> 0.87.0 (anthropic extra + lazy_deps provider.anthropic)
— CVE-2026-34450 (memory tool files created mode 0o666),
CVE-2026-34452 (path-traversal in async local-filesystem memory tool).
Not directly exploitable since hermes-agent doesn't use the SDK's
filesystem memory tool, but the SDK is bumped for hygiene.
- cryptography pinned explicitly at 46.0.7 in core dependencies —
CVE-2026-39892 (buffer overflow on non-contiguous buffers). Previously
came in transitively via PyJWT[crypto]; the explicit floor keeps the
WeCom/Weixin crypto paths from drifting below the fix.
curl-cffi from the original issue is no longer in pyproject.toml or uv.lock,
so no action needed there.
uv.lock regenerated cleanly; only aiohttp / anthropic / cryptography moved.

Port three hardening patches from Claude Code 2.1.113's expanded deny
rules to hermes' detect_dangerous_command() pattern list.
1. macOS /private/{etc,var,tmp,home} system paths
/etc, /var, /tmp, /home are symlinks to /private/<name> on macOS.
A write to /private/etc/sudoers works identically to /etc/sudoers
but bypassed the plain /etc/ pattern check. Extracted a shared
_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH fragment so /etc/ and the /private/ mirror
stay in sync across redirect / tee / cp / mv / install / sed -i
patterns.
2. killall -9 / -KILL / -SIGKILL / -s KILL / -r <regex>
Parallel to the existing pkill -9 pattern. killall -9 against
non-hermes processes was previously unprotected, and killall -r
can sweep unrelated processes matching a regex.
3. find -execdir rm
Same destructive effect as find -exec rm but ran in each match's
directory. The previous pattern required a literal '-exec ' so
-execdir slipped through.
Guarded by 32 new test cases in 4 test classes:
- TestMacOSPrivateSystemPaths (11 cases)
- TestKillallKillSignals (9 cases)
- TestFindExecdir (4 cases)
- TestEtcPatternsUnaffectedByRefactor (6 regression guards on
the existing /etc/ coverage after the _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH refactor)
Inspiration: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases
(Claude Code 2.1.113, April 17 2026 - "Enhanced deny rules" and
"Dangerous path protection")
Port from openai/codex#17667: MCP servers can now opt-in to parallel
tool execution by setting supports_parallel_tool_calls: true in their
config. This allows tools from the same server to run concurrently
within a single tool-call batch, matching the behavior already available
for built-in tools like web_search and read_file.
Previously all MCP tools were forced sequential because they weren't in
the _PARALLEL_SAFE_TOOLS set. Now _should_parallelize_tool_batch checks
is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() which looks up the server's config flag.
Config example:
mcp_servers:
docs:
command: "docs-server"
supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Track parallel-safe servers in _parallel_safe_servers
set, populated during register_mcp_servers(). Add is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe()
public API.
- run_agent.py: Add _is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() lazy-import wrapper. Update
_should_parallelize_tool_batch() to check MCP tools against server config.
- 11 new tests covering the feature end-to-end.
- Updated MCP docs and config reference.
Subagent delegation hardcoded api_mode='chat_completions' for any
delegation.base_url that didn't match three specific hostnames
(chatgpt.com, api.anthropic.com, api.kimi.com/coding), and never
read delegation.api_mode from config. Azure AI Foundry's
https://foundry.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic endpoint fell through
and got chat_completions, causing 404s on every delegate_task call.
The main agent already handles this correctly via the shared
_detect_api_mode_for_url() helper (anything ending in /anthropic →
anthropic_messages); delegation reimplemented its own narrower check.
Reuse the shared detector and honor an explicit delegation.api_mode
when set so users can also force the transport on non-standard
endpoints the URL heuristic can't classify.
Fixes#10213.

* feat(x_search): gated X (Twitter) search tool with OAuth-or-API-key auth
Salvages tools/x_search_tool.py from the closed PR #10786 (originally by
@Jaaneek) and reworks its credential resolution so the tool registers
when EITHER xAI credential path is available:
* XAI_API_KEY (paid xAI API key) is set in ~/.hermes/.env or the env, OR
* The user is signed in via xAI Grok OAuth — SuperGrok subscription —
i.e. hermes auth add xai-oauth has been run
Both paths route through xAI's built-in x_search Responses tool at
https://api.x.ai/v1/responses. When both credentials exist OAuth wins,
matching tools/xai_http.py's existing preference order (uses SuperGrok
quota instead of paid API spend).
The check_fn calls resolve_xai_http_credentials() which auto-refreshes
the OAuth access token if it's within the refresh skew window, so a
True return means the bearer is fetchable AND non-empty.
Wiring
- tools/x_search_tool.py — new tool, ~370 LOC. Schema gated by check_fn,
bearer resolved per-call so revoked OAuth surfaces a clean tool_error
rather than an HTTP 401.
- toolsets.py — "x_search" toolset def. NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS;
users opt in via hermes tools.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry + TOOL_CATEGORIES
block with two provider options (OAuth + API key) sharing the existing
xai_grok post_setup hook for credential bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG["x_search"] with model /
timeout_seconds / retries. Additive nested key; no version bump.
- tests/tools/test_x_search_tool.py — 13 tests covering HTTP shape,
handle validation, citation extraction, 4xx/5xx/timeout handling,
and the full credential-resolution matrix (OAuth-only, API-key-only,
both-set, neither-set, resolver-raises, config overrides, registry
registration).
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md — adds X Search to the
direct-to-xAI tools section with off-by-default note.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tools.md — new row in the tools table.
Off by default — users enable via `hermes tools` → 🐦 X (Twitter) Search.
Schema only appears to the model when xAI credentials are configured.

* docs(x_search): add dedicated feature page + reference entries
- website/docs/user-guide/features/x-search.md (new) — full feature
walkthrough: authentication, enablement, configuration, parameters,
returned fields, example, troubleshooting, see-also links.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md — new "x_search" toolset
section with parameter docs and credential gating note.
- website/docs/reference/toolsets-reference.md — new row in the
toolset catalog table.
- website/sidebars.ts — wires the new feature page under

Adds _sanitize_tool_error() in model_tools and routes both error paths
through it: registry.dispatch's try/except (the primary path for tool
exceptions) and handle_function_call's outer except (defense in depth).
Stripping targets structural framing tokens that the model itself can
react to even though json.dumps already handles wire-layer escaping:
XML role tags (tool_call, function_call, result, response, output,
input, system, assistant, user), CDATA sections, and markdown code
fences. Caps message body at 2000 chars and wraps with [TOOL_ERROR]
prefix.
Defense-in-depth: a tool exception carrying '<tool_call>...' won't
break message framing (json escapes it), but the model still reads
those tokens and they nudge it toward role-confusion framing.
Ported from ironclaw#1639 (one piece of #3838's three-feature scout).
The truncated-tool-call (#1632) and empty-response-recovery (#1677,
#1720) pieces are skipped because main now implements both far more
thoroughly (run_agent.py L8147/L12209/L13012 for truncation retry +
length rewrite; L4500/L15090+ for empty-response scaffolding stripper,
multi-stage nudge, fallback model activation).
Zero-install localhost tunnels over SSH via Pinggy. Covers HTTP/HTTPS,
TCP, TLS, access control (basic auth / bearer / IP whitelist), header
manipulation (CORS, force-HTTPS), web debugger, Pro token mode, and four
composite recipes (webhook receiver, MCP server exposure, local LLM
endpoint share, dev-server quick-share with one-shot password).
Closes#361
Document the three protocols already available for driving hermes-agent
from external programs — ACP, the TUI gateway JSON-RPC, and the
OpenAI-compatible API server — with a 'which one should I use' guide and
a Pi-style RPC command mapping table. Sidebar entry under Developer
Guide -> Architecture.
Plugins can now replace a built-in tool by passing override=True to
ctx.register_tool(). Without it, the registry rejects any registration
that would shadow an existing tool from a different toolset (unchanged
default behavior).
Unlocks the use case from #11049: drop-in replacement of browser/web
backends without forking core. Composes with the existing pre_tool_call
hook for runtime interception of any implementation.
The override is audit-logged at INFO so it surfaces in agent.log.
Thin wrapper around Imbue's darwinian_evolver (AGPL-3.0, subprocess-only).
Ships a working OpenRouter driver (parrot_openrouter.py), a snapshot
inspector (show_snapshot.py), and a custom-problem template. SKILL.md
has 58-char description, Pitfalls sourced from actually running the loop:
non-viable seed trap, Azure content filter killing runs, loop.run() being
a generator, nested-pickle snapshots, and aggressive default concurrency.
Salvaged from #12719 by @Bihruze — original PR shipped 12,289 LOC across
61 files (29 Python modules, FastAPI dashboard, VS Code extension,
benchmark hub, marketplace, etc.) which was far beyond the scope of the
underlying issue (#336). This version stays at the ~700-LOC scope that
issue actually asked for. Authorship of the original effort credited via
AUTHOR_MAP entry and the SKILL.md author field.
Verified end-to-end: seed 'Say {{ phrase }}' (score 0.000) evolved into
'Please repeat the following phrase exactly as it is, without any
modifications or additional formatting: {{ phrase }}' (score 0.750)
across 3 iterations on gpt-4o-mini via OpenRouter.

Tirith ships no Windows binary, so on every Windows CLI startup users
saw a scary 'tirith security scanner enabled but not available' banner
they could not act on. The banner suggested degraded security; in
reality pattern-matching guards still run and the message was pure noise.
Fix:
- New public is_platform_supported() helper in tools/tirith_security.py
that returns False when _detect_target() doesn't resolve (Windows, any
non-x86_64/aarch64 arch).
- ensure_installed(), _resolve_tirith_path(), and check_command_security()
short-circuit on unsupported platforms: cache _resolved_path =
_INSTALL_FAILED with reason 'unsupported_platform', skip PATH probes,
skip the background download thread, skip the disk failure marker, and
return allow with an empty summary from check_command_security so the
spawn loop never fires.
- Explicit user-configured tirith_path is still honored everywhere (a
user who built tirith themselves under WSL keeps that path).
- CLI banner in cli.py gated on is_platform_supported() — fires only on
platforms where tirith *should* work but isn't installed.
- Docs note tirith's supported-platform list and point Windows users at
WSL.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py +8 tests covering Linux
x86_64, Darwin arm64, Windows, and unknown-arch verdicts plus the
silent ensure_installed / check_command_security / _resolve_tirith_path
fast-paths and the explicit-path override.
test_tirith_security.py 75 passed (8 new + 67 pre-existing)
test_command_guards.py 19 passed
The per-skill sidebar tree from PR #26646 emitted category entries with
only a label. Docusaurus derives translation keys from the label
(sidebar.docs.category.<label>), and categories that exist in both
Bundled and Optional (productivity, mcp, mlops, research, email,
software-development, dogfood) collided on identical keys — failing
i18n extraction and the Deploy Site build. Result: source had the
sidebar fix but no per-skill page rendered with a sidebar in production.
Add a 'key: skills-<source>-<category>' attribute to each generated
category dict so Bundled vs Optional get distinct translation keys.
Regenerated sidebars.ts via the script. Local docusaurus build passes.
The #1 confusing cause of the xAI 403 (per Teknium): X Premium+
subscribers see Grok inside the X app and assume API access is
included. It is NOT — only standalone SuperGrok subscribers can use
xai-oauth with Hermes today. Without calling this out, every Premium+
user hits the 403 with no idea why.
PR #26666's neutral 4-cause list was correct but buried the most
common cause. Lead with the Premium+ gotcha, then list the other
possibilities (no subscription, wrong tier, exhausted quota) as
fallbacks. Same neutral framing — does not accuse anyone of being
unsubscribed.
PR #26644 confidently told users "xAI OAuth account lacks SuperGrok /
X Premium entitlement" on any 403 from xAI's permission-denied surface.
But that body is returned for at least four distinct causes that
Hermes cannot distinguish from the wire:
* Account has no Grok subscription at all
* Account has SuperGrok but the tier doesn't include the requested
model (e.g. grok-4.3 needs SuperGrok Heavy)
* Monthly quota for the subscribed tier is exhausted
* SuperGrok is active but the API access add-on isn't enabled
Don Piedro pushed back that he IS subscribed yet still hit this.
Picking the worst-case interpretation ("you're not subscribed")
reads as wrong and insulting to subscribers, and points them at a
fix they already did.
New wording lists all 4 possibilities and points at
https://grok.com/?_s=usage where the user can check which applies.
The detection logic and credential-pool short-circuit (PR #26664)
are unchanged — only the user-facing wording is rephrased.
Don Piedro's 18-minute hang on grok-4.3 traced to two issues PR #26644
didn't cover:
- _recover_with_credential_pool classifies 403 as FailoverReason.auth
and calls pool.try_refresh_current(). For xAI OAuth on an
unsubscribed account, refresh succeeds (mints a new token from the
same account) but the next API call 403s with the same entitlement
error. Result: infinite refresh → retry → 403 loop until Ctrl+C
(1133s in Don's log). New _is_entitlement_failure(error_context,
status_code) detects the subscription-shape body ("do not have an
active Grok subscription" / "out of available resources" + grok /
"does not have permission" + grok) and short-circuits recovery so
_summarize_api_error surfaces PR #26644's friendly hint.
- grok-4.3 resolved to 256k via the grok-4 catch-all in
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS. Per docs.x.ai/developers/models/grok-4.3
the model ships with 1M context. Add explicit grok-4.3 entry
before the grok-4 fallback (longest-first substring matching
ensures grok-4.3 and grok-4.3-latest both land on the new value).
Tests: 8 new (23 total in test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py).
E2E verified Don's 100-iteration loop bails out with 0 refresh calls
while genuine auth failures still refresh once and recover.
Individual skill pages (e.g. /docs/user-guide/skills/bundled/productivity/notion)
had no sidebar rendered — the sidebar config only listed the two catalog index
pages. That was an intentional choice from an earlier 'too many entries would
drown product docs' concern, but the effect is that a user landing on any skill
page (via search, share link, or the catalog table) loses navigation entirely
and can't see related skills.
Wire build_sidebar_items() (which was already computed and discarded) back into
the sidebar. Structure:
Skills
├── Bundled skills catalog (catalog table, was already there)
├── Optional skills catalog (catalog table, was already there)
├── Bundled
│ ├── apple/
│ │ ├── apple-apple-notes
│ │ └── ...
│ └── ... (one collapsed category per skill category)
└── Optional
└── ... (same)
Categories are collapsed by default so the top-level Skills entry doesn't
explode visually. Users browsing one skill see siblings in the same category;
the catalogs remain the at-a-glance entry point.
Also includes drift the regen script naturally produces on top of current main:
- creative-comfyui v5.0.0 → v5.1.0 page (author + new ref file)
- devops-kanban-worker SKILL.md updates
- new pages for optional skills that lacked generated docs:
hyperliquid, finance-stocks, software-development/rest-graphql-debug
- updated optional-skills-catalog row for those
Validation:
- npx docusaurus build (en locale) succeeded — only pre-existing warnings
- inspected built productivity-notion/index.html: sidebar tree present,
sibling productivity skills (airtable, linear, etc.) all linked
The cherry-picked PR #15251 from @tw2818 correctly identified the
DeepSeek 400 root cause but placed the fix in the legacy fallback path
of `build_kwargs`, which DeepSeek never reaches — DeepSeek has a
registered ProviderProfile and goes through `_build_kwargs_from_profile`
instead. The legacy-path block was therefore dead code.
This commit pivots the fix to where it actually fires:
- New `DeepSeekProfile` in `plugins/model-providers/deepseek/__init__.py`
overrides `build_api_kwargs_extras` to emit DeepSeek's expected wire
format (mirrors `KimiProfile`):
{"reasoning_effort": "<low|medium|high|max>",
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "enabled" | "disabled"}}}
- Model gating: only `deepseek-v4-*` and `deepseek-reasoner` emit
thinking control. `deepseek-chat` (V3) is untouched — current behavior.
- Effort mapping: low/medium/high passthrough, xhigh/max → max, unset →
omitted (DeepSeek server applies its own default).
- Revert the legacy-path additions from PR #15251 — they were dead code,
and the `_copy_reasoning_content_for_api` strip block specifically
would have nullified the existing reasoning_content padding machinery
(`_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning` → space-pad on replay) that the
active provider already relies on for replay correctness.
- Unit tests pin the wire-shape contract and the model gating rules
(26 tests, all passing). Existing transport + provider profile suites
(321 tests) continue to pass.

Three fixes for the May 2026 xAI OAuth (SuperGrok / X Premium) rollout
failures:
- _run_codex_stream: when openai SDK raises RuntimeError("Expected to
have received `response.created` before `<type>`"), retry once then
fall back to responses.create(stream=True) — same path used for
missing-response.completed postlude. Fallback surfaces the real
provider error with body+status_code intact. Also fixes#8133
(response.in_progress prelude on custom relays) and #14634
(codex.rate_limits prelude on codex-lb).
- _summarize_api_error: when error body matches xAI's entitlement
shape, append a one-line hint pointing to https://grok.com and
/model. Once-only, applies to both auxiliary warnings and
main-loop error surfacing.
- _chat_messages_to_responses_input: new is_xai_responses kwarg
drops replayed codex_reasoning_items (encrypted_content) before
they reach xAI. Also drops reasoning.encrypted_content from the
xAI include array. Native Codex behavior unchanged. Grok still
reasons natively each turn; coherence rides on visible message
text alone.
Closes#8133, #14634.
Two log-spam fixes surfaced by a Windows user (Git Bash + Python 3.11.9):
1. LocalEnvironment cwd warn spam
============================
Git Bash's `pwd -P` emits paths like `/c/Users/x`. The base-class
`_extract_cwd_from_output` was assigning this verbatim to `self.cwd`
without validation, then `_resolve_safe_cwd`'s `os.path.isdir(/c/...)`
returned False on Windows, triggering:
LocalEnvironment cwd '/c/Users/NVIDIA' is missing on disk;
falling back to '/' so terminal commands keep working.
...on every terminal call. The pre-existing Windows-path translation
inside `_run_bash` ran AFTER the safe-cwd check, so it could never
prevent the warning.
Fix:
- New `_msys_to_windows_path` helper (idempotent, no-op off Windows).
- `_resolve_safe_cwd` normalizes before `isdir`, so a valid MSYS path
is recognized as the real directory it points at.
- `LocalEnvironment._update_cwd` and a new override of
`_extract_cwd_from_output` translate + validate before mutating
`self.cwd`. Stale / non-existent marker paths roll back to the
previous cwd instead of clobbering it.
- The fallback warning still fires when the directory really is gone
(deletion-recovery scenario from #17558 still covered).
2. tirith spawn-failed warn spam
=============================
When tirith isn't installed (background install in flight, or marked
failed for the day) and the configured path stays as the bare string
`tirith`, every `subprocess.run([tirith_path, ...])` raises OSError
and logged:
tirith spawn failed: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
...on every command. fail_open=True means behaviour is correct, but
the log noise is severe.
Fix:
- `_warn_once(key, ...)` thread-safe dedupe helper.
- Three hot-path warnings (`tirith path resolved to None`,
`tirith spawn failed: ...`, `tirith timed out after Ns`) now log
once per (exception class, errno) / timeout-value / path-none key.
- Dedupe set is cleared on `_clear_install_failed` so a successful
install lets a subsequent failure surface again.
Tests
=====
- `tests/tools/test_local_env_windows_msys.py`: 12 tests covering the
MSYS→Windows translator, the resolve fast-path, update_cwd validation,
and extract_cwd_from_output rollback.
- `tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py`: 4 new dedupe tests (15 spawn
failures → 1 log line; distinct exc types → 2 lines; timeout dedupe;
path-None dedupe).
Targeted runs:
test_local_env_windows_msys.py 12 passed
test_local_env_cwd_recovery.py 7 passed (pre-existing, no regressions)
test_tirith_security.py 67 passed (63 pre-existing + 4 new)
test_base_environment + local_* 37 passed (no regressions)
test_local_env_blocklist + neighbours 114 passed
Reported via Hermes log capture: 19× cwd warnings + 15× tirith warnings
in a single short session.
Pairs with the prior commit (start() now inside the try block). If
threading.Thread.start() itself raises (OS thread exhaustion under
heavy delegation fanout), the finally would call .join() on a
never-started thread, which raises RuntimeError("cannot join thread
before it is started") — trading one rare bug for another.
Thread.ident is None until start() succeeds, so gate the join on it.
* feat(skills/notion): overhaul for Notion Developer Platform (May 2026)
Notion shipped its Developer Platform on May 13, 2026: ntn CLI, Workers,
Markdown API, bidirectional webhooks, agent tools. The existing skill only
covered curl + integration token CRUD, so it didn't surface any of the new
ergonomics — particularly the /markdown endpoints (much easier for agents
to consume) and the ntn CLI for headless API + Workers management.
This rewrite (v1.0.0 -> v2.0.0):
- Splits setup into Path A (HTTP, cross-platform incl. Windows), Path B
(ntn CLI on macOS/Linux, with NOTION_API_TOKEN env var for headless),
and Path C (Windows fallback — HTTP API or WSL2; native ntn is 'coming
soon').
- Keeps the full curl reference (still the only Windows-compatible path).
- Adds /markdown endpoints — GET and PATCH page-as-markdown, plus POST
/v1/pages with a markdown body param. Agent-friendly, no CLI required.
- Adds ntn CLI cheat sheet for raw API shorthand, file uploads, and
workspace flags.
- Adds Notion Workers section: scaffold, tool/webhook capability shapes,
lifecycle commands. Gated on Business/Enterprise plans + macOS/Linux.
- Adds Notion-flavored Markdown reference (callouts, toggles, columns,
mentions, colors) for the /markdown endpoints.
- Adds a 'choose the right path' decision table at the bottom.
- Notes the new efficient Notion MCP server as an optional wiring path.

* docs(skills-catalog): update notion description for v2.0.0
Catches the failure mode that produced #25045: a contributor PR whose
branch had been disconnected from main's history (likely an accidental
'git checkout --orphan' or '.git/' re-init). GitHub's merge UI does
not refuse merges of unrelated histories, so the PR landed cleanly
with its intended one-file change but its parent-less root commit
(413990c94) got grafted into main as a second root. The merge
resolution itself was correct — main's content won for every
conflicting file — but ~1500 files' worth of git blame collapsed
onto that single commit.
Implementation: 'git merge-base origin/main HEAD' exits non-zero and
prints nothing when the two commits share no ancestor. Check both
conditions and fail with a clear message + recovery steps.
Verified: against the historic state of PR #25045 (base 5d90386ba,
head 1149e75db), 'git merge-base' returns empty with exit 1, so the
new check would have rejected it.
Follow-up to #26592. The new docs/guides/oauth-over-ssh.md page was
linked from the two SSH-specific sections of the xAI Grok OAuth guide
but was missing from the surfaces a user is more likely to hit first:
- guides/xai-grok-oauth.md 'See Also' — add the SSH guide at the top
with a short qualifier so remote users notice it before clicking
through.
- integrations/providers.md xAI Grok OAuth callout — append the SSH
guide link alongside the existing xAI OAuth guide link.
- user-guide/configuration.md xai-oauth tip — same.
Docs build: zero warnings on touched files.
The top-of-file scope docstring listed delegate_task, memory, and
session_search as exposed tools, but EXPOSED_TOOLS deliberately omits
them (they're _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS and require the running AIAgent context
to dispatch — the inline comment block already explains this). Kanban
tools, which ARE exposed, were missing from the docstring entirely.
Rewrite the Scope / DO NOT expose sections to match the actual tuple:
drop delegate_task/memory/session_search from 'expose', add the
kanban_* family, move delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo into
'DO NOT expose' with the agent-loop rationale.
Fixes#26567 (doc-only fix; option 2 — shimming memory/session_search
through MemoryStore/SessionDB directly — left for a follow-up issue
once the plugin-memory locking story is audited).
Stop the gateway from exiting (or systemd-restart-looping) when a single
messaging adapter fails at startup or runtime. A misconfigured WhatsApp
(npm install timeout, unpaired bridge, missing creds.json) used to take
the entire gateway down, killing cron jobs and any other connected
platforms with it.
Changes:
• Startup (gateway/run.py): when connected_count==0 but the only
errors are retryable, log a degraded-state warning and keep the
gateway alive instead of returning False. Reconnect watcher then
recovers platforms as their underlying problem clears.
• Runtime (gateway/run.py _handle_adapter_fatal_error): when the last
adapter goes down with a retryable error and is queued for
reconnection, stay alive instead of exit-with-failure. Previously
this triggered systemd Restart=on-failure, which created infinite
restart loops on persistent retryable failures (proxy outage,
repeated bridge crashes).
• Reconnect watcher (gateway/run.py _platform_reconnect_watcher):
replace the 20-attempt hard drop with a circuit-breaker pause.
After _PAUSE_AFTER_FAILURES (10) consecutive retryable failures, the
platform stays in _failed_platforms with paused=True so the watcher
skips it but the operator can still see and resume it. Non-retryable
errors still drop out of the queue immediately. Resolves#17063
(gateway giving up on Telegram after 20 attempts).
• WhatsApp preflight (gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py): refuse to start
the Node bridge when creds.json is missing. Sets a non-retryable
whatsapp_not_paired fatal error so the watcher drops it cleanly
with a single 'run hermes whatsapp' log line instead of paying the
30s bridge bootstrap timeout on every gateway start.
• WhatsApp setup ordering (hermes_cli/main.py cmd_whatsapp): only set
WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true once pairing actually succeeds. Previously
the wizard wrote the env var at step 2 (before npm install and QR
pairing), so any Ctrl+C left .env claiming WhatsApp was ready when
the bridge had no creds.json. Also propagate the env var when the
user keeps an existing pairing on a re-run.
• /platform slash command (hermes_cli/commands.py + gateway/run.py):
new gateway-only command for manual circuit-breaker control.
/platform list — show connected + failed/paused platforms
/platform pause <name> — silence a known-broken platform
/platform resume <name> — re-queue a paused platform
Tests:
• New: pause/resume helpers, /platform list|pause|resume command,
WhatsApp creds.json preflight, WhatsApp setup ordering.
• Updated: stale assertions that codified the old 'exit and let
systemd restart' behavior in test_runner_fatal_adapter.py,
test_runner_startup_failures.py, and test_platform_reconnect.py
(the 20-attempt give-up test became a circuit-breaker pause test).
5488 tests pass in tests/gateway/.
Two loopback-redirect OAuth flows (xAI Grok, Spotify) silently fail when
Hermes runs on a remote host: the auth server redirects to
127.0.0.1:<port> on the user's laptop, not on the remote box. The
--no-browser flag only suppresses webbrowser.open() — it doesn't change
the bind address. Symptom xAI surfaces is 'Could not establish
connection. We couldn't reach your app.', followed by a 'xAI
authorization timed out waiting for the local callback' on the CLI side.
Changes
- hermes_cli/auth.py: new _print_loopback_ssh_hint() helper, called from
_xai_oauth_loopback_login() and _spotify_login() right after they
print the redirect URI. Silent off SSH; on SSH prints the exact
'ssh -N -L <port>:127.0.0.1:<port>' command using the actually-bound
port (not the hardcoded constant — the listener auto-bumps when the
preferred port is busy), a provider-specific docs URL, and a link to
the new shared guide.
- website/docs/guides/oauth-over-ssh.md (new): single source of truth
for the tunnel pattern — TL;DR command, jump-box / ProxyJump variant,
mosh+tmux+ControlMaster gotchas, troubleshooting.
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md: fix the two sections that
claimed --no-browser alone was enough; link to the shared guide.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/spotify.md: expand the existing
one-liner; link to the shared guide.
- website/sidebars.ts: register the new page.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_loopback_ssh_hint.py: 7 unit tests
covering SSH-vs-not, loopback-vs-not, malformed URIs, port echo,
with and without provider docs URL.
Fresh Windows installs were failing on first run with:
⚠ uv python install error: Downloading cpython-3.11.15-windows-x86_64-none (24.5MiB)
✗ Installation failed: Python was not found; run without arguments
to install from the Microsoft Store...
Two bugs compounding:
1) EAP=Stop swallows uv's stderr progress as an exception. uv writes
download progress ("Downloading cpython-3.11.15-windows-x86_64-none
(24.5MiB)") to stderr. With $ErrorActionPreference = "Stop" set at
the top of the script plus 2>&1 capture, PowerShell wraps each stderr
line as an ErrorRecord and throws on the first one — even though uv
exits 0 and Python was installed successfully. This was previously
fixed in commit ec1714e71 (May 8) but lost in the May 12 release
squash (413990c94). Reapply the EAP=Continue + verify-via
'uv python find' pattern.
2) System-python fallback invokes the Microsoft Store stub. When the uv
paths fall through, the legacy 'python --version' check invokes
%LOCALAPPDATA%\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\python.exe, a 0-byte
reparse-point stub that prints 'Python was not found...' to stdout
and exits non-zero. Get-Command matches it. The resulting error
message is what the user sees as the final installer crash. Detect
and skip the stub by checking for the \\WindowsApps\\ path
component or a 0-byte file size before invoking python.
Also save/restore EAP defensively in the catch blocks so a throw before
the assignment can't leave EAP in 'Continue'.
Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

Build on @aydnOktay's cronjob fix by routing the cronjob check through
the shared 'env_var_enabled' helper in utils.py (same truthy set:
1/true/yes/on) and applying the same semantics to the 8 sibling call
sites that read HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK / HERMES_CRON_SESSION with bare os.getenv() truthy
checks:
- tools/approval.py: _is_gateway_approval_context (2), check_command_safety (2),
check_all_command_guards (3) -- 7 sites total
- tools/terminal_tool.py: _handle_sudo_failure, sudo password prompt -- 2 sites
- tools/skills_tool.py: _is_gateway_surface -- 1 site
Without this, a user who exports HERMES_INTERACTIVE=0 in their shell
still gets interactive sudo prompts, approval prompts, and gateway
skill-install paths -- only the cronjob tool was hardened. Now all
consumers agree on the same false-like values.
Also drops the duplicate _is_truthy_env helper from cronjob_tools.py
in favour of the existing canonical utils.env_var_enabled.
Tests: extend the parametrized regression coverage to all three
session env vars (HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) symmetrically. tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py:
60/60 pass; tests/tools/{approval,terminal_tool,skills_tool,
cron_approval_mode,hardline_blocklist}.py: 378/378 pass.
Follow-up to #26534 (xai-oauth provider). The new guide and integrations
page were shipped with the salvage, but four reference/enumeration pages
still listed every other OAuth provider without xai-oauth:
- reference/cli-commands.md — `--provider` choices list
- reference/environment-variables.md — HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER values
- user-guide/configuration.md — auxiliary-task provider list, OAuth
tip block (mirrored from MiniMax OAuth),
and provider table row
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md — provider table
Drop accounts.mouseion.dev and localhost:20000 / 127.0.0.1:20000 from
the loopback callback CORS allowlist — leftover dev origins. The
redirect_uri is bound to 127.0.0.1 and gated by PKCE + state, so only
xAI's own auth origins are needed.

Some catalog endpoints (OpenCode Zen, etc.) sit behind a WAF that
returns 403 for the default Python-urllib/<ver> User-Agent. The
generic profile-based live fetch in providers/base.py was silently
failing for any such provider — falling through to the static catalog
and missing newly-launched models.
Set a generic 'hermes-cli/<version>' UA on the catalog probe so every
api_key provider profile benefits. Verified live against opencode-zen:
before this change, profile.fetch_models() raised HTTP 403; after, it
returns 42 models including gpt-5.5, gpt-5.5-pro, kimi-k2.6, glm-5.1
and the *-free variants the static catalog doesn't list.
Also strip the now-stale comment in validate_requested_model() claiming
opencode-zen's /models returns 404 against the HTML marketing site —
the API endpoint at /zen/v1/models returns 200 with valid JSON.
Surfaced by #2651 (@aashizpoudel) — fixes the same user-facing gap
their PR targeted, applied at the right layer so all api_key provider
profiles get live catalogs through the same code path.

- Adds plugins/platforms/simplex docs page to the messaging sidebar

- Maps louismichalot@hotmail.com -> Mibayy in scripts/release.py so the
attribution check on the salvage PR passes.
The Zed ACP Registry path (uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==X' hermes-acp)
gets a Python-only install. Browser tools depend on the agent-browser npm
package + Chromium, neither of which are in the wheel. Without an
explicit bootstrap, registry users have no path to working browser tools.
Ship a bundled, idempotent bootstrap script (Linux/macOS bash + Windows
PowerShell) inside acp_adapter/bootstrap/ as wheel package-data. New
entry points:
hermes acp --setup-browser # interactive; prompts before Chromium download
hermes acp --setup-browser --yes # non-interactive
hermes-acp --setup-browser
The terminal-auth flow (hermes acp --setup) also offers the browser
bootstrap as a follow-up after model selection, so first-run registry
users get the option without knowing the flag exists.
Key design choices:
- npm install -g --prefix $NODE_PREFIX so we never need sudo. System Node
on PATH is respected; only the install target is redirected to the
user-writable Hermes-managed Node prefix.
- tools/browser_tool.py::_browser_candidate_path_dirs() already walks
$HERMES_HOME/node/bin, so installed binaries are discovered with no
agent-side code change.
- System Chrome/Chromium detection short-circuits the ~400 MB Playwright
download when a suitable browser already exists.
- Bash + PowerShell live as ONE copy each under acp_adapter/bootstrap/.
Not duplicated under scripts/. install.sh and install.ps1 keep their
inline browser blocks for the source-checkout path.
E2E validated end-to-end:
bash bootstrap_browser_tools.sh --skip-chromium
→ installs agent-browser into ~/.hermes/node/bin/
tools.browser_tool._find_agent_browser()
→ returns the installed path
check_browser_requirements()
→ returns True (browser tools register)
Tests:
- tests/acp/test_entry.py: 11 tests covering --setup-browser dispatch
(linux + windows + --yes forwarding + failure propagation), the
terminal-auth follow-up prompt path, and a package-data wheel-shipping
assertion that catches any future pyproject.toml regression.
Docs: website/docs/user-guide/features/acp.md gains a 'Browser tools
(optional)' subsection with the two-line install + what-it-does.
Adds three pre-run gate recipes to the cron docs:
- file-change gate (stat + mtime + state file)
- external-flag gate (file presence)
- SQL-count gate (user's own database, not state.db)
These are the use cases @iankar8 proposed adding as a parallel
'trigger' subsystem in #2654. The existing `script` + `wakeAgent`
gate already covers all three at $0 — this lands the patterns as
documentation so users can find them, instead of adding a second
gating mechanism to the cron subsystem.
When the in-tree FAL path has no API key (and no managed gateway), the
handler used to return a bare 'FAL_KEY environment variable not set'
error. Users had no idea where to get a key, that a managed Nous
gateway exists, or that plugin-registered providers are an option.
Now `image_generate_tool` returns a structured multi-line message:
- signup link (https://fal.ai)
- managed-gateway status (if Nous tools are enabled)
- pointer to `hermes tools` / `hermes plugins list` for alternate
backends, so users on a stale `image_gen.provider` know where to look
The schema is untouched — `check_fn` still gates the tool out of the
schema when no backend is reachable at startup, consistent with every
other conditional tool. This patch fixes the call-time failure modes:
managed-gateway 5xx, plugin provider disappearing mid-session, etc.
Inspired by #2546 / @Mibayy. The PR was ~5700 commits stale against
the new plugin-aware image_gen architecture, so this is a forward port
of the actionable-error idea rather than a cherry-pick.
Closes#2543

The freeform /goal judge was capped at max_tokens=200, which reliably
truncated the JSON verdict on reasoning-heavy models (deepseek-v4-pro,
qwq, etc.) — the model burns tokens on hidden reasoning before emitting
visible content, and the first /goal turn's prompt is larger than later
turns, blowing past 200. Symptom: agent.log shows
`judge reply was not JSON: '{"done": true, "reason": "The agent successfully'`
followed by repeated `judge returned empty response` lines, then the
goal pauses with a misleading 'judge model isn't returning the required
JSON verdict' message.
Diagnosed live by @helix4u — empirically verified that raising the
budget on an unmodified worktree makes the failures go away on the
exact configs users were hitting on Nous Plus subscription paths.
Changes:
- DEFAULT_JUDGE_MAX_TOKENS = 4096 (up from 200)
- New auxiliary.goal_judge.max_tokens config knob for tuning in
specifically constrained setups
- _goal_judge_max_tokens() resolves the value with fail-open semantics
(non-int / non-positive / load failure → default). load_config() is
mtime-cached so per-turn lookup is cheap.
Scoped narrowly to the verified root cause — does not introduce a
submit_verdict tool-call schema (see #26162 / #23671 for that direction;
they can land separately if we want them).
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py + tests/cli/test_cli_goal_interrupt.py
+ tests/gateway/test_goal_verdict_send.py — 62/62 passing.
E2E verified: config override honored (8192), missing/garbage/zero
values fall back to 4096, no-auxiliary-section falls back to 4096.

Supersedes #26162, #23671, #23881
#25975 (salvaging #24403) clamped decorative scrollback Panels and
streaming box rules to `max(32, min(width, 56))` as a defense against
terminal-emulator reflow when columns shrink. On any modern wide
terminal this made the response/reasoning borders look stubby — 56
cols inside a 200-col viewport.
#26137 (salvaging #25981, by @OutThisLife) landed a more fundamental
fix: prompt_toolkit's `_output_screen_diff` is monkey-patched so its
reserve-vertical-space cursor move no longer pushes chrome into
scrollback at all. With that in place, the clamp is no longer
load-bearing for the chrome-into-scrollback class of bugs — the
remaining risk is purely cosmetic reflow of *already stamped*
Panel borders during an aggressive column shrink, which we now
accept as a tradeoff for restoring proper full-width rendering.
Changes:
- `_scrollback_box_width()` returns `max(32, width)` (just the floor,
no upper cap). All 10 call sites stay valid.
- Updated `test_scrollback_box_width_caps_to_resize_safe_value` to
the new `test_scrollback_box_width_returns_viewport_width` asserting
full-width passthrough above the 32-col floor.
Floor of 32 is kept so `'─' * (w - 2)` math stays positive on tiny
terminals.
Refs #18449#19280#22976 (the original reflow class) and #25975
(the clamp this reverts).
Adds 16 unit tests covering the light/dark terminal detection path
introduced in the previous commit:
- Env override priority (HERMES_LIGHT, HERMES_TUI_LIGHT,
HERMES_TUI_THEME, HERMES_TUI_BACKGROUND, COLORFGBG)
- Detection cache stickiness
- _maybe_remap_for_light_mode() no-op in dark mode
- Known dark-mode color remap (#FFF8DC -> #1A1A1A etc)
- Case-insensitive lookup
- Unknown color passthrough
- Status-bar paired colors (#C0C0C0, #888888, #555555, #8B8682) are
intentionally NOT remapped — regression guard for the patch-11 fix,
since remapping them would produce dark-on-dark on the status bar's
navy bg
- SkinConfig.get_color() wrapper is installed and idempotent
- SkinConfig.get_color() does remap in light mode and passes through
in dark mode
We don't try to fake an OSC 11 reply — that path is exercised
end-to-end in real Terminal.app; the env-override path covers the
algorithmic logic.
Discord's CDN serves attachments with Content-Encoding: br. aiohttp's
compression_utils tries 'import brotlicffi as brotli' first and falls back
to google's Brotli, but Brotli<1.2.0's Decompressor.process() is 1-arg
while aiohttp calls it with 2 args (data, max_length). Result: every
.txt/.md/.doc uploaded to a Discord-gateway session fails to decode at
att.read() with 'Can not decode content-encoding: br' / 'TypeError:
process() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)', the agent never sees the
bytes, and falls back to filesystem guessing.
Pin brotlicffi==1.2.0.1 in both surfaces:
- tools/lazy_deps.py 'platform.discord' tuple: Discord users on the
lazy-install path get it on first discord.py import.
- pyproject.toml [messaging] extra: users who explicitly install
hermes-agent[messaging] (skipping the lazy path) get it eagerly.
brotlicffi wins aiohttp's import race regardless of what else is
installed (try brotlicffi / except: import brotli), so existing setups
that already pulled google's Brotli transitively don't change behavior
beyond the bug fix. ~1.5 MB wheel, manylinux/macOS/Windows coverage.
E2E verified: round-trip decode of Brotli-compressed payload via
aiohttp.compression_utils.brotli succeeds with brotlicffi pinned; same
test against Brotli==1.1.0 alone reproduces the reported TypeError.
Credit to @Korkyzer for the original diagnosis and fix shape in #15744;
the lazy-deps gating layer was added on top to keep brotlicffi out of
the install path for users who don't run a Discord gateway.
Fixes#12511.
Closes#15744.

The ACP Registry schema supports uvx as a first-class distribution method
alongside npx and binary. Pointing the registry directly at the existing
hermes-agent PyPI release removes:
- the @nousresearch npm scope (we don't own it)
- a separate npm publish step on every weekly release
- 90 lines of Node launcher + tests in packages/hermes-agent-acp/
The Zed registry now installs Hermes via:
uvx --from 'hermes-agent[acp]==<version>' hermes-acp
This is the same command the npm launcher was shelling out to anyway, so
end-user behavior is unchanged. Registry CI validates the PyPI URL +
version-pin exact match automatically.
Changes:
- acp_registry/agent.json: distribution.npx -> distribution.uvx
- delete packages/hermes-agent-acp/ entirely
- scripts/release.py: drop npm-launcher bump paths, keep manifest lockstep
- tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py: assert uvx shape + version pin
- tests/scripts/test_release_acp_registry.py: rewrite for uvx-only shape
- docs (user-guide + dev-guide): drop all npm-launcher references
- delete docs/plans/acp-registry-zed-integration.md (stale, npm-shaped)
Validated against agentclientprotocol/registry agent.schema.json via
jsonschema. hermes-agent==0.13.0 is already live on PyPI.
The ACP Registry manifest (acp_registry/agent.json), the npm launcher
package.json, and the launcher's HERMES_AGENT_VERSION constant must all
match pyproject.toml exactly — tests/acp/test_registry_manifest.py
enforces this lockstep.
Without a release-script hook, the next weekly version bump fails that
test until someone hand-edits four files. Extend update_version_files()
to drive the ACP bump alongside __init__.py and pyproject.toml, and
add tests covering the lockstep and the missing-files no-op path.
Also map adam.manning@gmail.com -> am423 for the salvage commit.
Follow-up to the sandbox-bypass env-var fix:
- Update the opt-out gate so a user-provided AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS is also
respected, not just the legacy AGENT_BROWSER_CHROME_FLAGS. Previously
the gate only checked the broken legacy var, so a user who pre-set
AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS would still get clobbered by Hermes's auto-injection.
- Document AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS in .env.example, the browser feature page,
and the env var reference, with notes about the auto-injection on
AppArmor-restricted systems (Ubuntu 23.10+, DGX Spark, containers).
- Add Anadi Jaggia to AUTHOR_MAP.
The call site at line 246 is already wrapped in try/except NotImplementedError
(added in #25969). The checker just doesn't peek at surrounding context.
Mark with the suppression comment so the blocking check passes.
Pre-existing diagnostics below an edit point used to surface as 'LSP
diagnostics introduced by this edit' whenever the edit deleted or
inserted lines. The delta-filter key included the diagnostic's
range, so the same logical error reported at a different line in
the post-edit snapshot looked like a brand new diagnostic.
Concrete case: deleting 14 lines in cli.py caused Pyright errors at
lines 9873, 10590, 12413, 13004 (unrelated to the edit) to be
reported as introduced by it.
Fix: build a piecewise-linear line-shift map (via difflib's
SequenceMatcher) from pre and post content, and remap baseline
diagnostics into post-edit coordinates before the set-difference.
Diagnostics in deleted regions drop out cleanly; diagnostics below
the edit shift by the right amount; diagnostics above are untouched.
The strict (range-aware) equality key stays — so a genuinely new
instance of an identical error class at a different line still
surfaces as new.
Pieces:
- agent/lsp/range_shift.py — build_line_shift, shift_diagnostic_range,
shift_baseline. Pure functions, no LSP state.
- agent/lsp/manager.py — LSPService.get_diagnostics_sync gains an
optional line_shift kwarg; baseline is shift_baseline'd before
computing the seen-set. _diag_key keeps the strict range key.
- tools/file_operations.py — write_file captures pre_content for any
LSP-handled extension (not just LINTERS_INPROC) and passes pre/post
to _maybe_lsp_diagnostics, which builds the shift map.
- New _lsp_handles_extension helper guards the pre_content read.
Trade-offs preserved:
- Genuinely new same-class errors at different lines still surface
(content-only key would have swallowed them).
- Pre-existing errors at unshifted positions still get filtered
(covered by the strict-key path with no shift).
- Best-effort: when pre_content can't be captured (file didn't
exist, permissions), the unshifted comparison still catches
most pre-existing errors; the edge case it misses is a new file
with a non-empty baseline, which is structurally impossible.
Follow-up to snav's PR #25463 contribution: flip default to on, broaden
scope so backfill fires whenever require_mention gates the bot (not just
shared-session channels).
Why:
- The mention-gate creates a session-transcript gap regardless of whether
the channel is shared or per-user. In per-user sessions, Alice's session
is still missing other participants' messages and her own pre-mention
messages — backfill fills both gaps.
- Threads naturally scope to thread-only history because discord.py's
channel.history() on a thread returns only that thread's messages.
- DMs still skip — every DM triggers the bot, so the session transcript
is already complete.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/config.py: discord.history_backfill default → true
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: drop the _is_shared gate, keep _is_dm
skip and _needed_mention gate; env var DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL
default → 'true'
- cli-config.yaml.example + website docs: update defaults and prose;
add the DISCORD_HISTORY_BACKFILL / _LIMIT env var rows that were
documented in the PR description but missing from the env-var table
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py:
- flip test_discord_per_user_channel_does_not_backfill →
test_discord_per_user_channel_backfills_too (new behavior)
- add test_discord_dm_does_not_backfill (DM skip is invariant)
- give FakeThread a no-op history() so existing thread tests don't hit
a fake discord.Forbidden when backfill now fires on threads too
Tests: 160/160 in target files; 400/400 across all tests/gateway/ -k discord.
Adds 'hermes proxy start' — a local HTTP server that lets external apps
(OpenViking, Karakeep, Open WebUI, ...) use a Hermes-managed provider
subscription as their LLM endpoint. The proxy attaches the user's real
OAuth-resolved credentials to each forwarded request, refreshing them
automatically; the client can send any bearer (it gets stripped).
Ships with one adapter — Nous Portal. The UpstreamAdapter ABC and
registry in hermes_cli/proxy/adapters/ are designed for additional
OAuth providers to plug in by name without server changes.
Commands:
hermes proxy start [--provider nous] [--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8645]
hermes proxy status
hermes proxy providers
Allowed Portal paths: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions,
/v1/embeddings, /v1/models. Anything else returns 404 with a clear
error pointing at the allowed list.
aiohttp is gated like gateway/platforms/api_server.py (try-import,
clean runtime error if missing). No new core dependency.
Tests: 24 unit tests + 1 separate E2E that spawns the real subprocess
and verifies the upstream receives the right bearer with the client's
header stripped.
When the terminal shrinks, already-printed box-drawing rules (response,
reasoning, streaming TTS, background-task Panels) reflow into multiple
narrower rows — visible as duplicated horizontal separators / ghost
lines in scrollback. Similarly, prompt_toolkit redraws a fresh status
bar on SIGWINCH on top of one the terminal just reflowed, producing
double-bar artifacts on column shrink.
Two surgical changes:
1. Decorative scrollback boxes now use a new
`HermesCLI._scrollback_box_width()` helper that clamps to
`max(32, min(width, 56))`. The live TUI footer is unaffected and still
uses the full width. Covers: streaming response box (open + close),
reasoning box (open + close, both streaming and post-stream paths),
streaming-TTS box close, final-response Rich Panel, and the
background-task Rich Panel.
2. `_recover_after_resize()` now also sets a new
`_status_bar_suppressed_after_resize` flag so the dynamic status bar
and both input separator rules stay hidden until the next user input.
The flag is cleared in the process loop the moment the user submits
their next prompt, restoring chrome cleanly.
Tests:
- New `test_input_rules_hide_after_resize_until_next_input` covers the
flag's effect on rule heights.
- New `test_scrollback_box_width_caps_to_resize_safe_value` covers the
helper at floor / cap / mid-range / overflow.
- Existing resize-recovery test extended to assert the flag flips.

The spinner already shows tool activity visually; the 1.2 kHz tone on
every tool.started event was unwanted noise (especially on WSL2, where
each beep also triggers Windows Terminal's bell notification).
Removed the play_beep call in _on_tool_progress entirely. Record
start/stop beeps (gated by voice.beep_enabled) are unaffected.
When codex app-server fails outside the OAuth-classified path
(non-auth turn/start errors, plain TimeoutErrors, generic turn-ended
status, subprocess silently exits, hard deadline timeout), the user
got a bare 'Internal error' / 'turn/start failed: ...' with no
context. Diagnosing config/provider/auth-bridge issues forced a
re-run with verbose codex flags.
Add a _format_error_with_stderr helper that appends the last few
stderr lines via agent.redact.redact_sensitive_text(force=True),
and use it at every catch-all error site:
- ensure_started() failures (codex init / thread/start) now return
a TurnResult.error with should_retire=True instead of bubbling
- non-OAuth turn/start CodexAppServerError / TimeoutError
- subprocess-died branch (previously dumped raw stderr_blob[-300:]
with no redaction — a leak risk)
- turn ended with non-completed status
- hard turn-timeout deadline
OAuth-classified failures and the post-tool quiet watchdog already
produce clean hints and stay unchanged. The redactor catches sk-*,
gh*_*, Authorization: Bearer, query-string tokens, JWTs, private
keys, etc., so provider error payloads can't leak into chat output
or trajectories.
Inspired by openclaw#80718, adapted for our app-server transport.
WhatsApp pseudo-chats (Status updates / Stories, Channels / Newsletters,
broadcast lists) were being routed through the full agent pipeline. A
user's gateway.log showed the agent replying to a contact's Story
('status@broadcast') with 345 chars plus title-generation cost, which
also shows up in the contact's status feed.
Drop these JIDs at _should_process_message() before the policy gate so
they're filtered regardless of dm_policy or allowlist state. Covers:
- status@broadcast (Stories)
- *@newsletter (Channels)
- *@broadcast (broadcast lists, future-proofing)
The bridge.js already filters these on the fromMe outbound path, but
inbound events on self-chat mode skipped that check.
Tests:
- status@broadcast dropped on open policy
- broadcast filter wins over allowlisted senders
- real DMs still pass through
- helper unit cases (case-insensitive, whitespace-tolerant)
26/26 tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_group_gating.py pass; 59/59 adjacent
WhatsApp test suites pass.
Adds references/template-integrity.md covering safe conversion of the
official comfyui-workflow-templates package from editor format to API
format — Reroute bypass via link tracing, dotted dynamic-input keys
(values.a, resize_type.width) that must NOT be flattened, server-error
"patch don't rebuild" loop, Cloud quirks (302 redirect to signed GCS
URL, free-tier 1 concurrent job, 1920x1080 OOM on RTX 5090), and a
Discord-compatible ffmpeg stitch recipe (yuv420p + xfade/acrossfade).
SKILL.md lists the new reference so the agent loads it when starting
from an official template. purzbeats added to author list and to
scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP.

The Debian/Ubuntu branch of install_node_deps() ran 'npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium' unconditionally. Playwright invokes sudo interactively
to apt-install Chromium's system libraries, which blocks the installer for
non-sudo users (systemd service accounts, unprivileged operator users) on
an unsatisfiable password prompt.
Changes:
- install.sh: gate --with-deps behind a sudo capability check on the apt
branch (matches the existing Arch/pacman branch pattern). Non-sudo users
fall back to 'npx playwright install chromium' alone and the installer
prints the exact 'sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium' command an
administrator can run separately.
- install.sh: add --skip-browser (alias --no-playwright) to skip the
Playwright step entirely for headless installs that don't need browser
automation. Mirrors the existing --no-venv / --skip-setup shape.
- installation.md: add a 'Non-Sudo / System Service User Installs' section
covering the admin/service-user split, the --skip-browser flag, and the
~/.local/bin PATH gotcha (the root cause of the 'No module named dotenv'
error users hit when running the repo source 'hermes' script with system
Python instead of the venv launcher).
- test_install_sh_browser_install.py: regression coverage for the
--skip-browser flag and the sudo-gate on the apt branch.
Reported by @ssilver in Discord.
Pyproject's [all] extra was slimmed down in May 2026 — ~20 optional
backends moved to tools/lazy_deps.py and only install on first use.
hermes update runs uv pip install -e .[all] which doesn't touch any of
them, so pin bumps in LAZY_DEPS (CVE response, transitive fixes) were
silently ignored on already-activated backends.
Two changes:
1. _is_satisfied() now parses the spec and checks the installed version
against the constraint via packaging.specifiers. Previously it
returned True the moment the package name was importable, which made
ensure() a name-presence gate rather than a version-pin gate.
2. New active_features() / refresh_active_features() pair: lists every
feature with at least one of its packages currently installed, then
re-runs ensure() on each. Refresh is invoked at the end of
_cmd_update_impl, right after the [all] install completes. Cold
backends (never activated) stay quiet — no churn for them.
Output during update is one summary block:
→ Refreshing 4 active lazy backend(s)...
↑ 1 refreshed: provider.anthropic
✓ 3 already current
or
⚠ memory.honcho failed to refresh: <pip stderr>
Failures never raise out of update — backends keep their previously-
installed version and we tell the user to rerun once upstream is fixed.
security.allow_lazy_installs=false is honored: features get marked
"skipped" with the reason shown.
Tests: 18 new unit tests covering version-aware satisfaction (exact pin,
range, extras blocks, missing package, malformed spec), active feature
discovery, and refresh status reporting. All 61 lazy_deps tests pass.

Mirrors openclaw beta.8's app-server resilience fixes so a stuck codex
subprocess can't burn the full turn deadline and so users get a
`codex login` pointer instead of raw RPC errors when their token expires.
- TurnResult.should_retire signals the caller to drop+respawn codex.
- Deadline-hit path and dead-subprocess detection set should_retire so
the next turn doesn't ride a CPU-spinning or auth-broken process.
- Post-tool watchdog (post_tool_quiet_timeout=90s): if a tool item
completes and codex goes silent past the threshold without further
output or turn/completed, fast-fail instead of waiting the full 600s.
Resets on any non-tool activity so normal think-after-tool flows are
not affected.
- <turn_aborted> and <turn_aborted/> in agent text are treated as
terminal — some codex builds tear down a turn that way without
emitting turn/completed.
- _classify_oauth_failure() inspects RPC error message + stderr tail
for invalid_grant / token refresh / 401 / etc. and rewrites
user-facing errors to 'run codex login'. Conservative: generic
failures still surface verbatim. Fires at turn/start failure,
turn/completed failure, and dead-subprocess paths.
- thread/start cross-fill: tolerate thread.id, thread.sessionId,
top-level sessionId/threadId so future codex schema drift doesn't
KeyError us at handshake.
- run_agent.py: when run_turn returns should_retire=True OR raises,
close + null self._codex_session so the next turn respawns.
Tests: +30 cases across session + integration suites.
tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_session.py 50/50 pass

The cherry-picked PR over-indented the edit_message_text block for
the mm: (model selected → switch) success path so the confirmation
edit lived inside the preceding 'except Exception as exc' branch and
only fired when the callback raised. Dedent the try/except back to
12-space indent so it runs after the callback succeeds, restoring
the original flow that removes the inline buttons and shows the
'Switched to ...' confirmation.
Add a regression test (test_model_selected_edits_message_on_success)
that asserts edit_message_text is awaited and the result text is
routed through format_message (MARKDOWN_V2 + backtick survival).

* fix(cli): allow rotating broken OpenRouter / AI Gateway key in `hermes model` flow
Before: when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (or `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`) was already
set in ~/.hermes/.env, `hermes model openrouter` / `hermes model
ai-gateway` skipped the API-key prompt entirely and jumped straight to
the model picker. Users with a broken / expired / wrong key had no way
to replace it without editing ~/.hermes/.env by hand or re-running
`hermes setup` from scratch.
Both flows now route through the existing `_prompt_api_key()` helper,
which surfaces [K]eep / [R]eplace / [C]lear when a key is already
configured — the same UX the generic API-key providers (z.ai, MiniMax,
Gemini, etc.) and the Daytona setup already use.
* fix(install.ps1): pin uv sync target to venv\, verify baseline imports
Two related Windows-installer bugs that produce a broken venv with
`ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv'` on first `hermes` run.
## Bug 1: uv sync ignores VIRTUAL_ENV, syncs into .venv\ instead of venv\
`Install-Dependencies` creates the venv at `venv\` via `uv venv venv`,
sets `$env:VIRTUAL_ENV = "$InstallDir\venv"`, then runs
`uv sync --extra all --locked`. Modern uv (>=0.5) ignores `VIRTUAL_ENV`
for the `sync` subcommand and uses the project default `.venv\`
instead. Result: deps land in `$InstallDir\.venv\`, `venv\` stays
empty except for the python.exe stub from the earlier `uv venv` call,
`hermes.exe` ends up wired to the wrong site-packages.
The bash installer (`scripts/install.sh`) already worked around this in
`install_deps()` line 1127 by passing `UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT` — that
flag tells uv exactly where to put the project env regardless of
`VIRTUAL_ENV`. Port the same fix to PowerShell.
## Bug 2: no post-install verification
If the sync still misdirects for any other reason (uv version drift,
filesystem quirk, user re-run scenarios), the installer reports success
and the user only finds out by running `hermes` and getting an
unhelpful traceback. Add a baseline-import probe that runs the venv's
own python against the four packages every `hermes` invocation needs
(`dotenv`, `openai`, `rich`, `prompt_toolkit`). On failure, throw
with a recovery command tailored to whether a sibling `.venv\` exists.
User report (Windows 11, Python 3.13.5, Hermes v0.13.0): manual repro
steps were exactly this — `uv sync` landed in `.venv\`, recovered by
junctioning `venv\` → `.venv\` to bridge the path mismatch.
Before: when `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` (or `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`) was already
set in ~/.hermes/.env, `hermes model openrouter` / `hermes model
ai-gateway` skipped the API-key prompt entirely and jumped straight to
the model picker. Users with a broken / expired / wrong key had no way
to replace it without editing ~/.hermes/.env by hand or re-running
`hermes setup` from scratch.
Both flows now route through the existing `_prompt_api_key()` helper,
which surfaces [K]eep / [R]eplace / [C]lear when a key is already
configured — the same UX the generic API-key providers (z.ai, MiniMax,
Gemini, etc.) and the Daytona setup already use.
Brings Discord to parity with Telegram on the clarify tool's interactive
UX. Overrides BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify on DiscordAdapter to attach
a button view when choices are present.
- ClarifyChoiceView: one discord.ui.Button per choice (max 24, Discord's
25-component view cap leaves one slot for Other) plus a final
'Other (type answer)' button.
- Numeric click -> tools.clarify_gateway.resolve_gateway_clarify(
clarify_id, choice_text) using the canonical choice text from the
gateway entry (falls back to the button label if the entry vanished).
- Other click -> tools.clarify_gateway.mark_awaiting_text(clarify_id) so
the gateway's text-intercept captures the next user message in this
session as the response.
- Auth via the shared _component_check_auth helper (same OR-semantics as
ExecApprovalView / SlashConfirmView / UpdatePromptView / ModelPickerView).
- Open-ended (no choices) path renders the prompt as a plain embed and
relies on the existing text-intercept resolution.
- Single-use: first valid click disables every button and updates the
embed footer with who answered and what they chose.
No changes to BasePlatformAdapter.send_clarify or the gateway's
clarify_callback wiring -- the existing scaffolding already drives all
adapters; Discord just inherits the default text fallback today and gains
buttons by virtue of this override.
Test conftest extended: _FakeEmbed gains add_field() / set_footer() stubs
so tests can construct embedded views without monkey-patching per-test.
Original PR: #19249 by @LeonSGP43. This is a reshape of the contributor's
work onto current main's clarify infrastructure (clarify_id + entry-based
resolution shared with Telegram, instead of a parallel on_answer-closure
mechanism). The button view structure and UX shape are preserved.
Tests: 14 new tests in tests/gateway/test_discord_clarify_buttons.py.
391/391 existing Discord gateway tests still pass.

doesn't exist on SkinConfig. Replace with direct dict access on
skin.spinner — same intent (verify default empty spinner is preserved
when user override is invalid).
* feat(goals): /subgoal — user-added criteria appended to active /goal
Layers a /subgoal command on top of the existing freeform Ralph judge
loop. The user can append extra criteria mid-loop; the judge factors
them into its done/continue verdict and the continuation prompt
surfaces them to the agent. No new tool, no agent self-judging — the
existing judge model just sees a richer prompt.
Forms:
/subgoal show current subgoals
/subgoal <text> append a criterion
/subgoal remove <n> drop subgoal n (1-based)
/subgoal clear wipe all subgoals
How it integrates:
- GoalState gains `subgoals: List[str]` (default []), backwards-compat
for existing state_meta rows.
- judge_goal accepts an optional subgoals kwarg; non-empty switches to
JUDGE_USER_PROMPT_WITH_SUBGOALS_TEMPLATE which lists them as
numbered criteria and asks 'is the goal AND every additional
criterion satisfied?'
- next_continuation_prompt picks CONTINUATION_PROMPT_WITH_SUBGOALS_TEMPLATE
when non-empty so the agent sees what to target.
- /subgoal is allowed mid-run on the gateway since it only touches the
state the judge reads at turn boundary — no race with the running
turn.
- Status line shows '... , N subgoals' when present.
Surface:
- hermes_cli/goals.py — field, prompt blocks, manager methods, judge weave
- hermes_cli/commands.py — /subgoal CommandDef
- cli.py — _handle_subgoal_command
- gateway/run.py — _handle_subgoal_command + mid-run dispatch
- tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py — 15 new tests (backcompat, mutation,
persistence, prompt template selection, judge-prompt content via mock,
status-line rendering)
77 goal-related tests passing across goals + cli + gateway + tui.
* fix(goals): slash commands don't preempt the goal-continuation hook
Two findings from live-testing /subgoal:
1. Slash commands queued while the agent is running landed in
_pending_input (same queue as real user messages). The goal hook's
'is a real user message pending?' check returned True and silently
skipped — but the slash command consumes its queue slot via
process_command() which never re-fires the goal hook, so the loop
stalls indefinitely. Now the hook peeks the queue and only defers
when a non-slash payload is present.
2. The with-subgoals judge prompt was too soft — opus 4.7 said 'done,
implying all requirements met' without verifying. Tightened to
demand specific per-criterion evidence (file contents, output line,
command result) and explicitly reject phrases like 'implying it was
done.'
Live verified: /subgoal injected mid-loop now correctly forces the
judge to refuse done until the new criterion is met. Agent gets the
continuation prompt with subgoals listed, updates the script, judge
confirms done with specific evidence cited.
Tighten _is_png_file() to read just the 8-byte PNG magic via path.open()
+ read(8), instead of slurping the entire image into memory only to check
the prefix.
The cherry-picked tests from #6173 set HERMES_HOME outside Path.home()/.hermes,
which forces get_default_hermes_root() down its Docker branch and returns
HERMES_HOME directly — so _get_default_hermes_home() never resolves to the
~/.hermes directory the tests were trying to assert about.
Rewire both tests to use the real profile layout (HERMES_HOME pointing at
~/.hermes/profiles/<name>) so _get_default_hermes_home() resolves back to
~/.hermes and the default-profile fallback is actually exercised.
The interactive CLI /model picker was the third call-site duplicating
the inline config-slice + list_authenticated_providers pattern that
PR #23666 consolidated for the dashboard and TUI. Route it through
load_picker_context() + build_models_payload() too so all surfaces
that show authenticated providers share one substrate.
Side effect: cli.py now also benefits from the latent v12+ keyed
providers fix (custom_providers populated via
get_compatible_custom_providers, not cfg.get raw).
The aux-task switcher (hermes_cli/main.py) and gateway model
switcher (gateway/run.py) deliberately stay on the legacy path —
they use different config sections (auxiliary.<task>.*) and a
different config loader (_load_gateway_config) respectively, so
forcing them through ConfigContext would either overload its
semantics or grow the module past the clean refactor scope.
Follow-up on the salvaged feat commit:
- Keep the constructor / config / yaml-example default at 3 so existing
gateway and CLI users see no behavioural change. PR #13754 (which this
builds on) had lowered the default to 2 to chase pre-feature parity in
the system-prompt-present case, at the cost of quietly halving the
protected head for the gateway path (which strips the system prompt
before calling compress()). With the new "system prompt is implicit"
semantics, default 3 gives every caller a stable head shape.
- agent/context_engine.py: bring the ABC's protect_first_n docstring in
line with the new semantics so plugin context engines interpret the
config key the same way the built-in compressor does.
- tests: adjust the default-value test (3, not 2) and a stale comment;
per-test protect_first_n=2/3/1 values added in PR #13754 stay as-is
since those tests fix concrete head shapes.
Followup to PR #24182 — caught when scanning OpenClaw for recent codex
fixes we hadn't considered. OpenClaw learned the hard way (#80815) that
migrating plugins which codex itself reports as unavailable produces
config that fails at activation time.
Our /codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path queries codex's
plugin/list and migrates everything where installed=true. We were
trusting codex's installation state and ignoring its availability
field. So a plugin that's installed=true but availability=UNAVAILABLE
(broken local install) or REQUIRES_AUTH (OAuth expired or never
completed) would get an [plugins."<n>@openai-curated"] entry in
~/.codex/config.toml — and the user's first codex turn after enabling
the runtime would fail because codex refuses to activate it.
Fix: filter on availability in _query_codex_plugins(). Only emit
plugins where availability is empty (older codex versions without the
field — preserve backward compat) or explicitly AVAILABLE.
Tests:
test_plugin_discovery_skips_unavailable_plugins — verifies 4 cases:
- good-plugin (installed=True, availability=AVAILABLE) → migrated
- broken-plugin (installed=True, availability=UNAVAILABLE) → skipped
- auth-pending (installed=True, availability=REQUIRES_AUTH) → skipped
- legacy-plugin (installed=True, no availability field) → migrated
(older codex versions; preserve backward compat)
Docs:
Added bullet to 'What's NOT migrated' list in the docs page calling
out the availability filter and why.
Other OpenClaw codex PRs I reviewed but did NOT apply (with reasoning):
- #81591 (load Codex for selectable models): we resolve runtime
per-call already, no startup-time gating to fix
- #81510 (cron compatibility): we documented cron as untested; their
fix is for OpenClaw-specific cron orchestration shape
- #81223 (rotate incompatible context-engine threads): we don't
have a Lossless context engine equivalent
- #80688 (constrain sandbox): we don't have an outer-sandbox concept
- #80616 (release on turn_aborted): we already handle status=
interrupted in turn/completed correctly
- #80278 (expose activeModel in plugin SDK): not our surface
- #80792 (default destructive_actions on): we don't expose that knob
56 codex-runtime migration tests still green (+1 new).
The Analytics page and the token/cost surfaces on the Models page show
local debug estimates only. They count input+output (and a bar viz adds
cache_read+reasoning, missing cache_write entirely) from successful
main-agent responses that returned a usable usage block.
Excluded silently:
- All auxiliary calls — context compression, title generation, vision,
session search, web extract, smart approvals, MCP routing, plugin LLM
access (13 production call sites bypass update_token_counts)
- Provider-side retries, fallback attempts
- Any call whose usage block didn't come back
- cache_write_tokens (column exists in sessions table but not returned
by /api/analytics/models)
Real-world impact: a user on Kimi K2.6 saw 150K local vs 27M on the
OpenRouter side over the same window. Precise-looking numbers next to
provider billing create false confidence and support load.
This change adds dashboard.show_token_analytics (default False) to gate:
- The Analytics nav item (hidden from sidebar when off)
- The Analytics page (renders an explanation card instead of charts)
- Token bars, totals, cost figures, avg/api_calls on the Models page
The Models page keeps capability metadata (context window, vision,
tools, reasoning), the use-as-main/aux menu, sessions count, and
last-used timestamps when the flag is off.
Set dashboard.show_token_analytics: true in config.yaml to opt back in
to the local debug estimate. Fixing the underlying accounting (issue
#23270) is a separate, larger workstream.

- test_background_review_does_not_narrow_toolset_schema: review fork must
NOT pass enabled_toolsets to AIAgent (full parent schema = matching
Anthropic cache key on the 'tools' field).
- test_background_review_installs_thread_local_whitelist: the runtime
whitelist that replaces schema-level narrowing must contain memory +
skills tools and exclude terminal / send_message / delegate_task /
web_search / execute_code.
- test_review_fork_inherits_parent_cached_system_prompt: new test for
PR #17276's first root cause — the fork's _cached_system_prompt must
equal the parent's byte-for-byte.
- test_review_fork_pins_session_start_and_session_id: defensive belt-and-
suspenders for the cached-prompt inheritance.
Inverted the original test_background_review_agent_uses_restricted_toolsets
(which asserted the schema-level narrowing) — that narrowing was the
direct cause of #25322's cache miss, and the runtime whitelist replaces
its safety claim without breaking cache parity.
Refs #25322, #15204, PR #17276.
Belt-and-suspenders complement to the cached-system-prompt inheritance:
pin session_start and session_id to the parent's so any code path that
re-renders parts of the system prompt (compression, plugin hooks)
still produces byte-identical output. The cached-prompt assignment
already short-circuits the normal rebuild path, but these pins
guarantee parity even if a future code path bypasses the cache.
Idea from simpolism's reference PR #25427 for #25322.

Follow-up on @pty819's t2a_v2 endpoint fix:
- Default model: speech-02 -> speech-02-hd (bare 'speech-02' is not in the
supported enum; t2a_v2 rejects it with 400). Official enum: speech-01-hd,
speech-01-turbo, speech-02-hd, speech-02-turbo, speech-2.6-hd/turbo,
speech-2.8-hd/turbo.
- Default voice: female-shaonv -> English_expressive_narrator. The
legacy speech-01-series short ID doesn't resolve cleanly on the
speech-02+ models that are now the default.
- Default base URL: api.minimaxi.com -> api.minimax.io (matches the
canonical host in the published docs; api-uw.minimax.io is the
reduced-latency alt).
- Add GroupId support via tts.minimax.group_id config or MINIMAX_GROUP_ID
env var. Some MiniMax accounts scope TTS requests by group; without it,
requests 401. Only appended when not already in the user's base_url.
Tests rewritten to cover both the default t2a_v2 path (hex-encoded audio
in JSON, nested voice_setting/audio_setting) and the legacy
text_to_speech path (raw audio bytes, flat payload). Adds coverage for
GroupId config/env wiring and error surfacing.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for pty819's GitHub-noreply email.
Slack platform-blocks native slash commands inside thread replies ("/queue
is not supported in threads. Sorry!") and there is no app-side setting to
re-enable them. As a workaround, rewrite a leading '!' to '/' for any known
gateway command before downstream processing — so '!queue', '!stop',
'!model gpt-5.4' etc. work inside Slack threads (and anywhere else).
Only the first token is checked against is_gateway_known_command(), so
casual messages like '!nice work' pass through to the agent unchanged.
Downstream pipeline (MessageType.COMMAND tagging, gateway dispatcher,
thread reply routing) is unchanged.
Adds 6 tests covering rewrite, args preservation, thread routing,
casual-message passthrough, '@bot' suffix, and plain '/' still-works.
