markVoicePlaybackInterrupted() / takeVoicePlaybackInterrupted() mirror
the backend latch in the renderer (the barge happens client-side, where
the audio plays). VAD barges and typing over playback mark it; the next
prompt.submit carries interrupted:true, which the TUI gateway latches
into the model note.
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
Update the CLI and messaging guides so the default `interrupt` mode reflects
the new behavior: a follow-up redirects the active turn (preserving displayed
reasoning and completed work, letting running tools finish at a safe boundary)
rather than hard-stopping it, with `/stop` still the explicit hard stop.
Follow-up for the salvaged #55800 idle-compaction commit:
- turn_context.py: treat a skipped _compress_context (per-session
compression lock held by another path, failure cooldown, anti-thrash
breaker, codex-native routing) as a strict no-op — only re-baseline
conversation_history and re-anchor current_turn_user_idx after a REAL
compaction. Also re-anchor the user-message index after idle compaction
(the PR predates the reanchor helper).
- hermes_cli/config.py: add idle_compact_after_seconds: 0 to
DEFAULT_CONFIG's compression block (the PR only had
cli-config.yaml.example).
- gateway/run.py: add the idle-compaction status wording to
_TELEGRAM_NOISY_STATUS_RE so the new 💤 message stays out of
human-facing chat surfaces (routine compaction is silent by design);
pin it in tests/gateway/test_telegram_noise_filter.py.
- docs: idle_compact_after_seconds in user-guide/configuration.md and
developer-guide/context-compression-and-caching.md parameter table.
- tests/agent/test_idle_compaction_lock_and_guards.py: end-to-end
coverage with a real AIAgent + SessionDB proving the idle path honors
the per-session compression lock (added after the PR), the persisted
failure cooldown, and the anti-thrash breaker, and that the lock is
released after an idle-triggered compaction.
Salvaged from #55800 by @iso2kx. Implements #27579.
Add compression.threshold_tokens config option that sets an absolute
token cap for auto-compaction. When configured alongside the existing
ratio-based threshold, the effective trigger point is the lower of the
two, so compression never fires later than the user's preferred token
count regardless of which model is active.
This solves the problem where switching between models with different
context windows (e.g. 1M → 400K) shifts the absolute trigger point,
causing premature or delayed compression.
Rework from PR #24279 addressing sweeper feedback:
- The cap is now a first-class compressor configuration value
(threshold_tokens_cap parameter on ContextCompressor.__init__),
not a post-construction patch on the live instance.
- Applied in both __init__ and update_model() so it survives model
switches and fallback activations (the old approach was undone by
update_model() restoring _configured_threshold_percent).
- Clamped to the model's context length so a cap above the window is
a no-op (ratio-based threshold wins).
- Works with max_tokens output-token reservations.
- Added 9 tests covering cap-vs-ratio selection, model switch survival,
context-length clamping, max_tokens interaction, and invalid values.
- Updated user-facing configuration docs.
- Removed unrelated background-review/curator/Honcho changes (main
already contains background-review memory isolation in 973f27e95).
Config example:
compression:
threshold: 0.50
threshold_tokens: 200000 # never compress later than 200K tokens
Follow-up to the salvaged contributor commit, closing the three gaps
flagged in the sweeper review:
1. Init ordering: assign compression.model_thresholds to a selected
plugin context engine BEFORE the initial update_model() call in
agent_init.py, so the initial model's override applies from init
(previously it only took effect after the first /model switch).
Base-class ContextEngine.update_model() now snapshots the
pre-override percent once so repeated switches fall back to the
engine's configured threshold, not a previous model's override.
2. DEFAULT_CONFIG: add compression.model_thresholds (empty map) to
hermes_cli/config.py — additive key, no _config_version bump.
3. Docs: document the key in
website/docs/developer-guide/context-compression-and-caching.md
(yaml example, parameter table, dedicated section) and update the
plugin-boundary note in context-engine-plugin.md to state the
explicit context-engine contract for model_thresholds.
Adds tests/run_agent/test_per_model_threshold_init_ordering.py:
plugin-engine AIAgent init regression (override applies at init,
empty map unchanged), DEFAULT_CONFIG key presence, floor interaction
on the model-switch path (override below the small-context floor is
raised to the floor; above the floor wins), and base-class config
snapshot across repeated switches. Also maps @bennybuoy in
contributors/emails/.
Children inherit the parent's env, repo, and toolsets but were denied
execute_code ('children should reason step-by-step, not write scripts').
That forces subagents doing mechanical multi-step work (batch file
reads, fetch-N-pages loops, filter-before-context reductions) to burn
reasoning iterations one tool call at a time.
- Remove execute_code from DELEGATE_BLOCKED_TOOLS
- Stop stripping the code_execution toolset from child bundles
- No recursion risk: the sandbox bridges only the 7 SANDBOX_ALLOWED_TOOLS
(web/file/terminal) — delegate_task and execute_code itself are not
reachable from inside a sandbox script
- Update schema text, AGENTS.md, and delegation docs
- Tests: blocked-constant, strip, and child-assembly tests updated;
new test pins execute_code as intentionally unblocked
The Desktop app can now sign in to a gated gateway using the user's SYSTEM
browser and OAuth 2.0 for Native Apps (RFC 8252) instead of an embedded
Electron BrowserWindow, and authenticates with bearer tokens it holds itself
instead of relying on HttpOnly browser session cookies.
Why brokered: the upstream IDP (Nous Portal) binds client_id to the gateway
instance and only permits redirect_uris on the gateway's own origin, so a
desktop loopback redirect can't be a direct Portal client. The gateway
therefore acts as the authorization server TO the desktop and an OAuth client
TO the Portal, reusing the existing PKCE start_login/complete_login provider
path unchanged.
Server (Ben's dashboard-auth lane):
- native_flow.py: in-memory broker — binds the desktop's PKCE challenge to a
completed Session, mints a single-use, short-TTL, PKCE-verified gateway
authorization code. Constant-time compare, single-use (consumed before the
PKCE check so a wrong verifier can't be retried), capacity-bounded.
- routes.py: GET /auth/native/authorize (starts the brokered PKCE login,
loopback-only redirect_uri, S256-only), POST /auth/native/token (loopback
code + verifier -> tokens in the JSON body, never Set-Cookie), POST
/auth/native/refresh (desktop-held RT rotation). /auth/callback branches to
mint a loopback code + 302 to 127.0.0.1 when a broker_state rides the PKCE
cookie; the cookie/SPA path is untouched.
- middleware.py: the gate accepts Authorization: Bearer <access_token>,
verified via the same verify_session provider stack (no cookie set/read),
with the same "provider unreachable -> 503, not logout" semantics.
- web_server.py /api/status: advertise auth_flows (["cookie","native_pkce"])
so clients can detect the capability; native_pkce only when a brokerable
OAuth provider is registered.
Desktop (Ben's lane):
- native-oauth.ts: pure PKCE/capability/URL/callback/token helpers.
- native-oauth-login.ts: loopback-listener orchestration (system browser via
openExternal, ephemeral 127.0.0.1 listener, state/PKCE verification), all
I/O injected for testability.
- main.ts: capability-gated oauth-login IPC — native flow when advertised,
automatic fallback to the existing embedded-webview cookie flow otherwise;
tokens stored encrypted (safeStorage/OS keychain), REST + ws-ticket
authenticated by bearer, transparent refresh, logout clears both shapes.
Tests: 18 server pytest (broker unit + full authorize->callback->token E2E +
cookieless bearer auth of a gated route + ws-ticket mint + capability
advertisement + refresh); desktop node --test/vitest for both pure modules
(PKCE, capability detection, callback CSRF, loopback round trip, timeout,
browser-open failure). Electron project typechecks clean.

Reworks the salvaged command module into a CommandSource(SecretSource)
registered as the third bundled source, composing with Bitwarden and
1Password through the apply_all() orchestrator — enable any combination
simultaneously. The original PR's secrets.provider single-selector is
deliberately dropped: multi-source is first-class and a mutually
exclusive provider switch would regress that.
- fetch() only fetches; precedence/override/conflicts/environ writes stay
in the orchestrator. ErrorKind classification + remediation hints.
- apply_command_secrets() kept as a legacy shim (parser/security helpers
unchanged: HERMES_SECRET_KEY data-only key passing, cross-key misroute
guard, base64-padding disambiguation, timeout + output cap, structured-
fields-only failure logging, stderr discarded).
- Dispatch tests rewritten for the registry path incl. an explicit
two-sources-compose test; selector tests removed with the selector.
- cli-config.yaml.example + docs page (command.md), secrets index entry.
- contributors mapping for mvalentin@valensys.net -> 0xr00tf3rr3t.
Fixes the profile-clobber bug cluster at the apply_all() chokepoint so
every secret source — bundled and plugin — gets both behaviors for free:
- secrets.preserve_existing (#58073): env var names whose existing .env /
shell value always wins, even against a source with
override_existing: true. Escape hatch for per-profile platform
secrets while everything else rotates centrally.
- Profile aliasing (#51447): under a named profile, an applied
FOO_<PROFILE> var (credential-shaped suffixes only) also hydrates the
canonical FOO, so adapters/plugins that read fixed env names see the
profile's value. Direct supply beats alias; protected/claimed/
override guards all apply; secrets.profile_alias: false disables.
Reimplements the intent of PR #58085 (tianma-if, preserve_existing on the
legacy Bitwarden apply shim) and PR #51616 (LeonSGP43, profile aliasing
inside the Bitwarden backend) on the SecretSource orchestrator that
superseded those code paths.
Fixes#58073. Fixes#51447.

* feat(desktop): configure repository discovery
* fix(config): preserve additive default migration
* fix(desktop): stabilize session-actions-menu gateway mock for repo-scan subscribe
projects.ts now runs $gateway.subscribe(syncReposScanning) at module load, and
nanostores fires the subscriber synchronously. session-actions-menu.test.ts
reaches projects.ts transitively via the session store but mocked
@/store/gateway without $gateway, crashing the whole desktop vitest suite
("No \ export is defined"). Simply adding $gateway: atom(null) exposed a
second issue: the synchronous subscriber calls the mock's activeGateway()
during the transitive import, before the module-level const initializes (TDZ).
Hoist the mock fns via vi.hoisted() so activeGateway is defined before the
hoisted vi.mock factory runs, and add $gateway: atom(null) to the mock. Mirrors
the self-contained mock pattern already used in projects.test.ts. Also maps the
PR author's commit email for attribution.
Supersedes #67630; incorporates review feedback from that PR.

* feat(secrets): one-command token rotation + actionable startup errors for all secret sources
When a Bitwarden machine-account token expired, users saw a raw Rust
error dump (invalid_client + Location: + backtrace hints) and the only
fix was manually editing .env or re-running the whole setup wizard.
- New `hermes secrets bitwarden token` / `hermes secrets onepassword
token`: paste a new token (masked prompt or flag), the command probes
the backend BEFORE persisting — a rejected token changes nothing; a
good one is written to .env and the fetch caches are cleared.
- New optional SecretSource.remediation(kind, cfg) hook: startup
warnings now print a '→ Run `hermes secrets <name> token`…' fix-it
line after any fetch error, for bundled AND plugin sources (generic
per-ErrorKind defaults in the ABC).
- bws stderr is summarized to its cause line (Location:/backtrace noise
dropped) and invalid_client/invalid_grant/400 identity rejects are
now classified AUTH_FAILED (was INTERNAL) with a plain-English
explanation naming the token env var.
- op whoami probe accepts a candidate token so rotation validates the
NEW credential, not the ambient one.
Additive hook with defaults — no SECRET_SOURCE_API_VERSION bump.
* docs: fix MDX parse error in secret-source-plugin hook table
Escaped backticks around a <name> placeholder made MDX parse it as an
unclosed JSX tag, breaking the docs-site build. Use a plain code span
instead.
Three related messaging-approval fixes:
1. approvals.timeout default 60 -> 300. PR #63501 collapsed the gateway
wait onto the canonical approvals.timeout (previously
gateway_timeout=300), silently shrinking messaging approval windows
to 60s. Push-notification approvals routinely arrive later than a
minute; taps landed after the wait had already failed closed.
2. Stale-tap honesty: adapters resolved the approval AFTER rendering
'<checkmark> Approved by <user>' (Telegram/Discord/Slack), or ignored a zero
resolve count (WhatsApp Cloud/Feishu). A tap on an expired prompt
claimed approval while the command had already been denied. All
button paths now resolve first and render 'Approval expired -
command was not run' when nothing was waiting.
3. Mixed-warning prompts (dangerous pattern + tirith finding) now offer
Always: the persistence layer already permanently allowlists the
pattern key and downgrades the tirith key to session scope, but the
UI hid Always whenever ANY tirith warning was present. Pure-tirith
prompts still withhold Always (content findings are session-max by
design), and Smart-DENY overrides remain once-only.
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).
Interrupting a busy turn with the Stop button (or Esc) settles the
session to idle, and the edge-independent auto-drain immediately submits
the head of the composer queue. The user pressed Stop to halt the agent,
but it looks like Stop skipped the current turn and kept going — and the
queued text is hard to find, since its only surface is the collapsed
'N queued' pill above the composer.
The old userInterruptedRef latch (a23728dcc) fixed this but was removed
in #40221 because it also suppressed the drain that send-now-while-busy
depends on. This reintroduces the halt with source awareness instead of
a blanket latch:
- Explicit halts (Stop button, composer Esc, chat-focus Esc, the
streaming message's hover Stop, runtime cancel) park the session's
queue before interrupting. Parked queues are skipped by both
auto-drain paths (mounted ChatBar + background drainer).
- Interrupts that exist to advance the queue (send-now-while-busy)
unpark first, so the settle drain they rely on still flows.
- The park lifts on any renewed intent: resume, a manual drain (Enter
on empty composer or the per-row send arrow), queueing a new prompt,
or emptying the queue. It migrates with entries on a runtime re-key
and is deliberately not persisted (a fresh process starts unparked).
- The queue panel expands on park, switches to 'N Queued — paused' with
a pause icon, and grows a Resume action, so the held prompts are
visible instead of reading as vanished.
Store contract, hook wiring, and background-drain coverage included;
docs updated.
Follow-up to the salvaged #52552 and #53083 commits:
- Rework the Matrix PLATFORM_HINTS entry around what the adapter actually
emits: headings, numbered lists, blockquotes, strikethrough-free markdown
all render (the adapter converts them to sanctioned HTML). Keep the
genuinely valuable guidance: no Markdown tables (Element X / Beeper /
mobile clients don't render HTML tables — cells collapse into one line),
no spoilers/checkboxes/~~strikethrough~~ (not converted by
python-markdown), prefer descriptive link text.
- Regression test: hint must steer models away from tables.
- Fix test_long_response_split_preserves_thread_context to derive its
payload size from the adapter's configurable limit instead of assuming
the old hardcoded 4000.
- Document matrix.max_message_length in the Matrix docs page.
- Contributor mapping for RKelln.
Slow language servers (tsserver on large projects especially) publish
diagnostics long after an edit. The client's wait/report path had three
holes that together surfaced the PREVIOUS edit's errors as if they were
current ("ghost diagnostics"), sending the agent chasing errors it had
already fixed:
1. open_file only cleared the diagnostic stores on first open — on the
didChange path (every subsequent edit) stale push/pull entries
survived.
2. wait_for_diagnostics' predicates were satisfiable by that leftover
state (`path in _published`, `path in _pull_diagnostics`), so the
"wait" often returned instantly with old data.
3. diagnostics_for merged the stale push store unconditionally, so even
a fresh clean pull got the old error merged back in.
Fix: anchor freshness on a per-file didChange timestamp.
- Pull results record their request send-time and are dropped when a
didChange raced past them; the pull store is invalidated on every
change, not just first open.
- wait_for_diagnostics now returns bool (fresh data vs timeout), only
counts pushes published at/after the change (and version >= ours when
the server echoes versions), and accepts an explicit timeout — the
user's lsp.wait_timeout config now actually controls the inner wait
budget instead of only the outer thread-join.
- diagnostics_for(fresh_only=True) excludes stores that predate the
latest change; all manager report paths use it.
- On timeout the manager returns [] ("no data") instead of stale
state, logs a WARNING via eventlog, and does NOT mark the server
broken — slow is not dead.
- seed-on-first-push no longer marks the file published, so the TS
seed push can't satisfy a waiter.
Tests: new "stale" and "slow_push" mock-server scripts model the slow
tsserver, plus client- and service-level regression tests
(tests/agent/lsp/test_stale_diagnostics.py).
The DingTalk docs offer gateway.platforms.dingtalk.extra.allowed_users
as the config.yaml alternative to DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS. The adapter
honors it (_load_allowed_users reads PlatformConfig.extra), but gateway
authorization (_is_user_authorized in gateway/authz_mixin.py) only
consults the env var, and load_gateway_config() bridged the allowlist
to the env var only from a top-level dingtalk: block. A nested-only
allowlist therefore passed the adapter and was then denied at the
gateway - listed users fell through to pairing/default-deny in DMs.
Extend the DingTalk YAML->env bridge to fall back to the merged nested
platform config (gateway.platforms / platforms), mirroring the existing
platforms.discord.extra.allow_from precedent. Precedence is unchanged:
an explicit DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS env var still wins, then the
top-level dingtalk: block, then the nested extra.
Also correct the docs' claim that the two allowlists are "merged" when
both are set - that behavior never existed (the doc line came from a
docs-only sweep); the effective result is the intersection of the two
gates, so the docs now recommend configuring one or the other.
Repro (before): config.yaml containing only the nested allowlist ->
adapter._is_user_allowed("user-id-1") is True but
runner._is_user_authorized(...) is False. After: both True; unlisted
users are still denied.

* feat(delegation): live-viewable subagent transcripts for delegate_task
Each child now streams an append-only, human-readable log to
<hermes_home>/cache/delegation/live/<delegation_id>/task-<n>.log while it
runs, and the dispatch return includes the paths so the caller can tail
them immediately instead of waiting blind for the consolidated summary.
- New tools/delegation_live_log.py: LiveTranscriptWriter (per-event append
+ flush, one-line rendering with truncation, never raises into the agent
loop), wrap_progress_callback (tees the child's existing
tool_progress_callback events into the log, preserves the _flush
contract), dispatch-time creation with pre-headered files so tail -f
attaches immediately, manifest.json (goals/task count/per-task status),
and 7-day retention pruning on new dispatches.
- delegate_task: wraps each child's progress callback with the writer;
sync results and background dispatch responses gain live_transcripts
(+ hint field on dispatch); per-task result entries carry
live_transcript; transcripts finalized with exit-reason markers.
- async_delegation: dispatch_async_delegation_batch accepts an optional
delegation_id so the live/ dir name matches the returned handle; the
completion event carries live_transcripts.
- process_registry: consolidated batch-completion block references each
task's live transcript path.
- Tool schema description documents the live_transcripts return surface;
docs gain a 'Live Transcripts' section with a tail -f example.
Placement under cache/delegation means the logs are mounted read-only
into remote terminal backends for free. Side-channel only: zero changes
to message content, so prompt caching is unaffected. Transcript-OUT only
— no overlap with the subagent control surfaces of PR #66046.
* fix(delegation): label the kickoff transcript line as user — it is the child's one user message
A final response generated but not confirmed-delivered was the one
artifact the gateway could lose without a trace: crash or planned
restart between finalize and platform ACK dropped it silently, and the
resume path re-ran the whole turn at full cost (#58818 P1, #41696,
#63695's gateway half).
gateway/delivery_ledger.py records each outbound final response in
state.db (same conventions as the async-delegation ledger: WAL, owner
pid + process-start-time liveness, bounded retention):
pending -> attempting -> delivered | failed
startup sweep on dead-owner rows -> redeliver | abandoned
Contract (the lessons from the closed delivery-outbox attempt #61790):
- obligation recorded BEFORE the first send attempt; cleared only on
SendResult.success (destination acceptance, #51184)
- ambiguity is labeled, never silently retried: rows that were mid-send
when the process died redeliver with a visible '♻️ Recovered reply —
may be a duplicate' prefix (honest at-least-once)
- stable ids from session_key + inbound message id + content, so
distinct threads/topics can never collide
- poison rows bounded: 3 attempts / 24h freshness -> abandoned; claim
atomically re-stamps ownership so racing sweeps can't double-claim
- redelivery clears resume_pending for the session so the resume path
never re-runs a turn whose answer the ledger already holds
- best-effort everywhere: ledger failure can never block or delay a send
- slash-command/ephemeral/empty responses are not recorded; cron and
proactive delivery stay on DeliveryRouter (separate subsystem)
Config: gateway.delivery_ledger (default on; no version bump needed).
Validation: 30 ledger+producer tests; 352 blast-radius gateway tests
green; cross-process E2E (record in process A, kill it mid-send, claim
+ marker + redeliver in a fresh process B against the same state.db).
Add an end-to-end developer guide for extending the native Hermes Desktop
app introduced in #60638: the HermesPlugin contract, PluginContext, every
contribution area (panes, routes, sidebar nav, status/title bar, palette,
keybinds, themes, composer, mount-scoped Contribute), the host API, the
React Query + nanostores data layer, the UI kit + theme variables, the
scoped ctx.rest/ctx.socket backend (plugin_api.py under /api/plugins/<id>)
and its separate enable gate, Settings/defaultEnabled/storage, bundled
plugins, the security model, pitfalls, and a full reference.
- Register the page in the sidebar under Extending -> Plugins.
- Disambiguate from the unrelated web-dashboard plugin SDK from both
directions, and add a map-table row + a desktop user-guide pointer.
- Fill the gaps in the agent-facing hermes-desktop-plugins skill
(ctx.rest/socket + backend, React Query, defaultEnabled, Contribute)
and point it at the new reference so agents know the SDK when writing
addons.
Fixes the two review defects that kept PR #29923 open, plus docs:
- gateway: exclude --once from the session-store write-through. The
once-override lived only in memory before, but the write-through
persisted it, so a gateway restart before the finally-restore
rehydrated a supposedly one-turn model permanently.
- TUI: skip _sync_agent_model_with_config while a one-turn restore is
pending. The once-model is deliberately not pinned as a session
model_override, so the config sync saw a model mismatch and clobbered
the once-override back to the config model before the turn ran.
- tests: real _handle_model_command drive asserting --once never
touches set_model_override while --session still does; restore-pop
idempotency.
- docs: /model --once in configuring-models.md with an honest
prompt-cache cost note (one-shot switch breaks the cached prefix
twice; wins for short sessions and cheap-to-expensive escalation).
Route recovered messages through the live Discord ingress policy, preserve dedup and completion invariants, bound and retain the recovery ledger, and expose the opt-in config with docs and backup coverage.
Builds on the salvaged typing_status_text plumbing (PR #62007): instead
of a static 'is thinking...', Slack's assistant status line now updates
live as the agent works — 'is running pytest tests/…', 'is reading
docs/api.md…' — and reverts to the static text between tool calls.
Mechanics:
- agent/display.py: build_status_phrase() derives a <=49-char present-
tense phrase from the existing _TOOL_VERBS table (+ 'is using <name>'
for plugin/MCP tools; None for _thinking).
- base adapter: supports_status_text capability flag + set_status_text()
per-chat store, cleared when the typing loop winds down.
- Slack adapter: send_typing() renders the live phrase when set, falling
back to typing_status_text then 'is thinking...'.
- gateway/run.py: progress_callback stashes the phrase on tool.started
and clears on tool.completed. Rendering rides the existing
_keep_typing refresh cadence — zero additional Slack API calls, no
rate-limit exposure. Works with tool_progress: off (Slack default);
the callback is now armed whenever the adapter supports status text.
- display.live_status config (full|verb|off, default full): 'verb' hides
argument previews for shared/customer-facing channels.
Also fixes a latent crash in the cherry-picked from_dict: malformed
non-dict 'extra' sections broke typing_status_text resolution (uses the
already-coerced extra dict).
Design notes: status text is a side-effect display channel only — never
enters the transcript, no prompt-cache impact. Lifecycle guarantees from
the stuck-status fix family are preserved (per-thread tracking,
clear-on-finish via existing stop_typing paths). Related: #45109
(closed; same direction via lifecycle states), #59010/#51363 (native
task cards — complementary, larger scope).
Adds PlatformConfig.typing_status_text for the two platforms that render
text for the working-state line: Slack's assistant.threads.setStatus
status (hardcoded 'is thinking...') and Google Chat's visible marker
message (hardcoded 'Hermes is thinking…'). None keeps each platform's
built-in default; to_dict omits the field when unset so existing configs
serialize unchanged. Plumbing mirrors typing_indicator exactly (typed
field, from_dict extra fallback, shared-key bridge).
Also documents that Slack's status line requires the assistant:write
scope — without it setStatus fails silently and Slack shows its own
generic placeholder, which previously made the behaviour undiagnosable
from config alone.
Replace REST-based Discord liveness probe with local WebSocket/heartbeat
state detection. REST success doesn't prove Gateway event delivery — a
half-closed WebSocket can leave Bot.start() alive while REST returns 200.
Now samples ready/open/ACK state and heartbeat latency; consecutive
unhealthy samples emit one retryable fatal code so GatewayRunner rebuilds
the adapter through the existing reconnect path.
Also fixes three lifecycle gaps in the recovery path:
1. asyncio.wait_for() can remain blocked if adapter cleanup swallows
cancellation — now uses bounded asyncio.wait() with task detachment.
2. Multiplexed secondary-profile adapters had no profile-scoped reconnect
owner — now uses one runner-owned reconnect slot per profile.
3. An in-flight turn could send its final text through the disconnected
adapter after a replacement was registered — now resolves the live
same-profile replacement for unsent final responses only (message IDs
never migrate, edits/deletes stay on the old transport).
Adds an opt-in Linux/systemd event-loop watchdog (gateway.systemd_watchdog_seconds,
default 0) for the failure mode where the whole asyncio loop stops making
progress and no in-process liveness task can run. stdlib-only sd_notify,
Type=notify/WatchdogSec generation, READY/STOPPING lifecycle.

Follow-up to PR #66479 salvage. The three new env vars
(HERMES_LOCAL_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT, HERMES_GATEWAY_MAX_STARTS,
HERMES_GATEWAY_START_WINDOW_S) were introduced as bare env-var reads with no
config.yaml surface or documentation — violating the .env-is-for-secrets-only
policy (behavioral settings must live in config.yaml, bridged to env internally).
- config.yaml: add gateway.respawn_storm {max_starts, window_seconds} to
DEFAULT_CONFIG, mirroring the existing restart_loop_guard pattern.
- gateway.py: read config.yaml first, env vars override as escape-hatch.
- environment-variables.md: document all three new env vars, noting the
config.yaml alternative for the gateway ones.
- chat_completion_helpers.py: cross-reference the env-var docs from the
local stale timeout comment.
The reported confusion was an unblocked task 'unpredictably' ending up in
triage. unblock itself only ever routes to ready/todo; a subsequent same-cause
re-block hitting BLOCK_RECURRENCE_LIMIT is what escalates to triage. Document
this deterministic loop-breaker at the human-facing lifecycle level so users
stop reading it as an LLM decision.
