Slack in-app voice clips ("record a clip") arrive as MP4/AAC containers
(mimetype audio/mp4, filename audio_message*.mp4), and Slack sometimes
labels them video/mp4. The inbound audio handler derived the cache
extension from the mimetype and fell back to ".ogg" for anything not in
{.ogg,.mp3,.wav,.webm,.m4a} — so audio/mp4 voice messages were cached as
.ogg. OpenAI STT (whisper-1, gpt-4o-transcribe) sniffs the container from
the FILENAME extension, so it received MP4 bytes named .ogg and rejected
them. WhatsApp .ogg and uploaded .m4a worked only because their extension
happened to match the bytes.
Fix:
- _resolve_slack_audio_ext(): pick the cache extension from the real
filename first, then a mimetype map (audio/mp4 -> .m4a), defaulting to
.m4a — never the bogus .ogg fallback. Mirrors the video branch and the
audio map already in gateway/platforms/bluebubbles.py.
- _is_slack_voice_clip(): detect audio-only clips mislabeled video/mp4
via the slack_audio subtype / audio_message* filename, and route them
through the audio path (cached as audio, reported as audio/*) so they
reach STT instead of video understanding. Genuine videos (and
slack_video screen recordings) are left on the video path.
Verified end-to-end against a real audio-only MP4: old path cached it as
.ogg (ffprobe shows MP4 bytes -> container mismatch -> OpenAI rejects);
new path caches it as .mp4 (extension matches bytes -> accepted).
Adds inbound-audio tests (previously none): helper unit tests plus
_handle_slack_message E2E coverage for audio/mp4, video/mp4-mislabeled
voice clips, and a real video staying on the video path. Confirmed the
two voice-message tests fail without the fix (mutation check).
The gateway half of Phase 6 Unit ζ: project the agent's existing relevance
knobs into the connector's platform-agnostic vocabulary and declare them at boot
over the /relay/policy route, so the SAME mention-gating / free-response /
allow-bots behavior the agent applies directly also governs relay delivery (and
excluded chatter never wakes a scaled-to-zero agent).
- gateway/relay/__init__.py:
- relay_relevance_policy(): project require_mention -> requireAddress,
free_response_channels -> freeResponseScopes, {PLATFORM}_ALLOW_BOTS in
{mentions,all} -> allowOtherBots. Reads the fronted platform's config block
+ bridged top-level keys. Returns None when all-default (the connector's
quiet default already matches) or no concrete platform is fronted.
- send_relay_policy(): POST /relay/policy authenticated with the gateway's own
per-gateway upgrade token (make_upgrade_token — same bearer as the WS
upgrade), so the connector attaches it to the authenticated instance, never
a body-asserted id. Re-declares every boot (self-healing, full replace).
NEVER raises, NEVER blocks boot — relevance is an optimization layered on
the δ/ε authorization gate. Reuses the per-gateway secret + the
/relay/provision host; no new inbound surface, no new credential.
- _policy_url(): ws(s)://…/relay -> http(s)://…/relay/policy.
- gateway/run.py: call send_relay_policy() after register_relay_adapter()
succeeds (the secret is resolved by then).
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md: new §7 documenting per-instance delivery +
the management plane (/manage/* + /relay/policy) + the relevance-declaration
contract; versioning renumbered to §8. Contract conformance test stays green
(§2/§3 tables untouched).
Tests: +12 (projection mapping incl. comma-string + top-level fallback; send
auth/skip/fail-soft/non-200). Full relay suite 118 pass. The connector route is
already E2E-proven (connector repo gateway_policy_driver.py); this adds the real
gateway send-path it pairs with.
This completes Phase 6 (Team Gateway per-user isolation) end to end.
Follow-up to #50767, which redacted the chat-platform (_approval_notify_sync)
and SSE/API (_approval_notify) approval transports. The TUI JSON-RPC transport
is the third egress and was missed: three register_gateway_notify callbacks in
tui_gateway/server.py emitted the raw approval_data — including the unredacted
command Tirith flagged — straight to the TUI client via _emit.
Route all three registrations through a new module-level _emit_approval_request()
helper that redacts payload['command'] via the shared
gateway.run._redact_approval_command seam before emitting, matching the pattern
used for the other two transports. Completes the whole-bug-class fix for #48456.
Tests: assert the helper emits a redacted command (real credential pattern),
handles missing/None command, and a wiring guard that no registration emits the
raw payload directly (only the helper may). Both mutation-checked.
The #48456 fix series originated from @liuhao1024's #48462 — credit to them for
the original report and chat-platform fix; this completes the remaining transport.

The media-delivery denylist in gateway/platforms/base.py enumerated only
.env/auth.json/credentials/config.yaml under HERMES_HOME, so other
credential stores that live at the root fell through and could be
auto-attached to chat replies. The reported case: the Google Workspace
skill's google_token.json refreshes every turn, bumping its mtime to
'now', which kept passing the strict-mode recency window and re-sent the
OAuth token on every reply.
Extend the explicit per-file denylist to mirror the canonical credential
set already enforced by the read/write guards in agent/file_safety.py:
google_token.json, google_oauth_pending.json, auth/google_oauth.json,
.anthropic_oauth.json, webhook_subscriptions.json, cache/bws_cache.json,
auth.lock, and the pairing/ token directory.
Targeted per-file additions (not a blanket ~/.hermes deny, which was
declined in #32090/#34425 because it would block skills/, logs/, and
ad-hoc agent-written deliverables). mcp-tokens/ (#37222) and
state.db/kanban.db (#41071) are left to their sibling targeted PRs.
Reported-by: xxxigm (#50912)
Add a test to verify that _safe_sync_slash_commands deletes obsolete
commands before creating new ones. This ensures we never temporarily
exceed Discord's 100-command limit during sync, which would trigger
error 30032 and break all slash commands.
This test guards against the regression where sync could fail even though
the registration cap was properly enforced.
Follow-up to #31501. When the send-fallback prune removes a chat's
final telegram_dm_topic_bindings row, also flip
telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled to 0 in the same transaction.
Without this, a user who turns topics off in the Telegram client
(rather than via /topic off) leaves enabled=1 with zero lanes:
_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id keeps treating the chat as
topic-enabled and lobby messages keep hunting for bindings that no
longer exist. Clearing the flag makes recovery fully stand down once
the dead topics are gone.
Adds 3 regression tests covering the last-binding clear, the
multi-binding no-op, and the unmatched-prune no-op.
Thirteen tests across four layers:
* ``SessionDB.delete_telegram_topic_binding`` — pin the new
helper's contract: removes only the (chat_id, thread_id) row
it was asked about, leaves siblings alone, returns 0 silently
when the row never existed, and is a no-op on a pristine
database whose topic-mode tables haven't been migrated yet.
* ``TelegramAdapter._prune_stale_dm_topic_binding`` — the glue
must drop the binding when ``self._session_store._db``
exposes the helper, swallow exceptions so a failed cleanup
never breaks the user-facing send, and refuse to issue a
DELETE for ``chat_id=None`` / ``thread_id=None`` so a
bookkeeping miss can't accidentally null-match every row.
* Source-level guards on ``TelegramAdapter.send`` and
``_send_message_with_thread_fallback`` — the prune call must
sit beside the two existing "Thread X not found, retrying
without message_thread_id" warnings, before the retry runs,
so a future refactor can't silently drop the cleanup wire.
* End-to-end semantic — once a topic is pruned, the
``GatewayRunner._recover_telegram_topic_thread_id`` walk
steers future inbound messages to the surviving binding
instead of the dead one. This is the exact behaviour change
the bug report's reproduction asks for: no more landings in
the wrong topic until the operator hand-edits ``state.db``.
Refs #31501
The Slack docs document `slack.mention_patterns` as custom wake words that
trigger the bot alongside `@mention`, and the config layer bridges the key into
the Slack adapter's `config.extra` — but the adapter never read it. With
`require_mention` on, a channel message containing a configured wake word (and
no literal `<@BOTUID>`) was silently ignored. Every other adapter that
documents `mention_patterns` (Telegram, DingTalk, Mattermost, WhatsApp,
BlueBubbles, Photon) implements it; Slack was the odd one out.
Add `_slack_mention_patterns()` (compiled, cached; reads `slack.mention_patterns`
as a list/string or `SLACK_MENTION_PATTERNS` as a JSON/CSV/newline list, invalid
regexes warned and skipped) and `_slack_message_matches_mention_patterns()`,
mirroring the existing adapters. Channel mention detection now also triggers on
a wake-word match, so the documented field works as described.
Adds tests for pattern compilation (list/string/env/invalid-regex) and for the
channel-trigger gating with a wake word under require_mention.
* feat(goals): add /goal wait <pid> barrier to park the loop on a background process
The /goal loop re-pokes the agent every turn via the post-turn judge. When a
goal is gated on a long-running background process (CI poller, build, test
matrix, deploy) that produces nothing to judge yet, this spins the agent into
'is it done?' busy-work and burns the turn budget.
/goal wait <pid> [reason] parks the loop: while the PID is alive, the judge is
skipped, no turn is consumed, no continuation fires, and /goal status shows a
parked indicator. The barrier auto-clears the moment the process exits (the
agent's notify_on_complete watcher is the natural wake signal), then the next
turn resumes normal judging. /goal unwait clears it manually; pause/resume/clear
drop it; a dead/stale PID can never wedge the loop.
Wired across CLI, gateway, and the mid-run command guard for parity. Barrier
persists in SessionDB.state_meta (survives /resume); GoalState gains
backward-compatible waiting_on_pid/waiting_reason/waiting_since fields. 12 new
tests; docs updated.
* fix(goals): use gateway.status._pid_exists for liveness, not os.kill(pid,0)
The Windows-footguns CI guard flagged os.kill(pid, 0) in _pid_alive — on
Windows that's not a no-op, it routes to CTRL_C_EVENT and hard-kills the
target's console process group (bpo-14484). Delegate to the canonical
footgun-safe gateway.status._pid_exists (psutil + ctypes/POSIX fallback)
instead, with a direct-psutil last resort.
* feat(goals): judge-driven auto-wait — the loop parks itself, no manual /goal wait
Makes the wait barrier automatic. Every turn the judge is shown the agent's
live background processes (pid, command, uptime, output tail from the
process_registry) alongside the goal + response, and can return a new 'wait'
verdict instead of continue:
{"verdict":"wait","wait_on_pid":N} → park until that process exits
{"verdict":"wait","wait_for_seconds":N} → park until the deadline passes
evaluate_after_turn acts on the directive (sets the barrier, parks the loop)
so the agent isn't re-poked into busy-work while CI/builds/deploys run. Adds a
time-based waiting_until barrier alongside the pid barrier; both auto-clear and
can never wedge the loop. Drivers (CLI, gateway, tui_gateway) feed the live
registry in via gather_background_processes(). Manual /goal wait stays as an
override. Judge verdict contract widened to (verdict, reason, parse_failed,
wait_directive); legacy {"done":bool} shape still accepted.
* test(goals): update kanban _fake_judge to the 4-tuple judge contract
CI test(3) caught it: test_kanban_goal_mode's _fake_judge still returned the
3-tuple (verdict, reason, parse_failed), but the kanban loop now unpacks the
4-tuple (+ wait_directive). Update the fake to return None for the directive
and accept the background_processes kwarg.
* feat(goals): trigger-based wait — park on a process's own signal, not just exit
Addresses two gaps in the judge-driven wait: (1) the judge could only express
'wait until PID exits' or 'wait N seconds', so a long-lived watcher/server that
fires a trigger MID-RUN (and may never exit) couldn't be waited on; (2) the
process's own watch_patterns/notify_on_complete trigger was invisible to the judge.
Adds a session-based barrier (waiting_on_session) that releases on the process's
OWN trigger via process_registry.is_session_waiting(): the session exits, OR (if
started with watch_patterns) its pattern matches — even while the process keeps
running. list_sessions() now surfaces session_id + watch_patterns/watch_hit/
notify_on_complete so the judge sees the trigger and is told to prefer
wait_on_session for trigger processes. Judge verdict gains a {wait_on_session}
directive (preferred over pid). Backward-compatible GoalState field; pid + time
barriers unchanged.
Tests: TestSessionTriggerBarrier (release on mid-run pattern match while alive,
release on exit, unknown-session, full park→trigger→resume, parse, validation,
backcompat load). 105 goal-surface + 85 process_registry tests green.
Follow-up to ScotterMonk's cron-truncation fix:
- Remove HERMES_DELIVERY_MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT env var. Behavioral config
belongs in config.yaml, not a new HERMES_* env var (.env is secrets
only). The actual bug is fixed entirely by the adapter-aware skip; the
configurable cap was unneeded scope. MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT is a constant
again, collapsing the max_output=0 disable branch and the
audit-vs-truncation threshold divergence.
- Flag the remaining verified-chunking adapters (slack, matrix, feishu,
mattermost, teams, whatsapp, whatsapp_cloud, weixin, bluebubbles,
yuanbao) with splits_long_messages=True so the fix covers the whole
bug class, not just Discord/Telegram. Each verified to chunk in its
own send() via truncate_message().
- SMS deliberately left False: it chunks for normal replies but a
multi-segment cron blast is cost-bearing; the 4000-cap + file save is
the safer default there.
- Update tests: drop the two env-override tests, add a test asserting a
save failure during truncation (non-chunking) propagates.
Gateway-level truncation (MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT=4000) was pre-empting
adapter-side message splitting. Discord and Telegram both chunk long
content natively in their send() via truncate_message(), but the
delivery router truncated to 3800 chars + footer before the adapter
ever saw the full payload — so long cron output was cut short instead
of being delivered as multiple messages (issue #50126).
Changes:
- HERMES_DELIVERY_MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT env var makes the cap configurable
(default 4000, backward compatible). Set to 0 to disable truncation.
- TRUNCATED_VISIBLE (3800) removed — visible portion now derived
dynamically from max_output minus the actual footer length.
- New BasePlatformAdapter.splits_long_messages capability flag (default
False). Adapters that chunk in send() set True; delivery skips
truncation for them but still saves full output to disk as audit.
- Flagged Discord and Telegram (both verified to chunk in send()).
Fixes#50126
Add relay_instance_id() (env GATEWAY_RELAY_INSTANCE_ID first, then
gateway.relay_instance_id in config.yaml, mirroring the other relay readers) and
forward it in the /relay/provision body so the connector can bind
gatewayId -> instanceId and route inbound per-instance once Phase 6 delivery
lands.
The value is gateway-asserted but safely scoped: the org/tenant stays
NAS-token-verified at the connector, so a dishonest gateway can only bind its
OWN tenant's instance — same posture as relay_endpoint(). instanceId is only
added to the body when present, so omitting it lets the connector store null
(back-compat: self-hosted / pre-Phase-6 gateways simply have no binding yet).
For a managed (NAS-hosted) agent the id is NAS's AgentInstance.id, stamped into
the container env beside GATEWAY_RELAY_URL.
Tests: reader (env/config/absent), self_provision_relay forwards the id (set +
absent), and the real _post_provision body includes instanceId ONLY when set.
Refs: ~/nous/specs/gateway-gateway plan.md Phase 6 Unit α; decisions.md Q11.
Tirith redacts its own findings, but the approval-request callbacks built the
operator prompt from the RAW command string, so a credential-shaped value
Tirith flagged was sent verbatim to clients, undoing the redaction one layer up.
Two egress transports carried the leak; both are fixed via a shared
module-level seam _redact_approval_command() (redact_sensitive_text force=True):
1. chat platforms — _approval_notify_sync (gateway/run.py): redact before
both the button path (send_exec_approval) and the plain-text /approve
fallback.
2. SSE/API stream — _approval_notify (gateway/platforms/api_server.py):
redact event['command'] before it is enqueued to API/desktop clients.
(whole-bug-class: sibling call path on a separate transport.)
force=True so the prompt — a hard secret-egress boundary — honors redaction
even when security.redact_secrets is off. Clean commands pass through unchanged.
Tests bind the seam (synthetic credential-format fixtures, force-when-disabled) AND assert
BOTH callbacks ASSIGN the redacted result before the send/enqueue sink, via an
AST contract that rejects a discarded-result call. All mutation-checked.
The connector half (gateway-gateway) moves the passthrough plane's post-ACK
forward off the HTTP gatewayEndpoint onto the gateway's outbound /relay WS via
a new passthrough_forward frame. This is the gateway side: the relay adapter
now RECEIVES and handles that frame, so a hosted gateway (no public IP) can
process forwarded Class-2/3 traffic (Discord interactions, Twilio) over the
socket it already holds — closing the "passthrough inbound doesn't work for
hosted gateways" gap.
- ws_transport.py: decode the passthrough_forward frame; PassthroughForward
dataclass + _passthrough_from_wire (base64 body -> exact bytes, byte parity
with the connector's toPassthroughForward); set_passthrough_handler mirrors
set_interrupt_inbound_handler.
- transport.py: PassthroughHandler type + set_passthrough_handler on the
RelayTransport protocol.
- adapter.py: connect() wires the passthrough handler; _on_passthrough decodes
the (already-sanitized, token-free) forward and, for a Discord interaction,
converts it to a MessageEvent routed through the normal agent path
(handle_message) — the reply egresses over the outbound / token-less
follow_up path, so the gateway never holds the interaction credential. Never
raises (a bad forward can't kill the read loop). Non-discord forwards (Twilio)
are logged + dropped for now.
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md: document the passthrough_forward frame +
PassthroughForward shape + §3.1.
The interaction -> MessageEvent CONVERSION semantics (slash-command vs button
UX, option rendering) are the open sub-design flagged in the spec; the TRANSPORT
+ receive mechanism (this) is settled per Ben's Gate-2 decision: "the relay
adapter handles receiving these events over the WS."
Tests (tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_passthrough.py): byte-preservation
round-trip (+ malformed-body tolerance), connect() wiring, application-command
and message-component interactions route through handle_message with correct
session source + scope capture, malformed/non-discord forwards dropped cleanly.
100 relay tests green. Pairs with the connector PR (gateway-gateway).
Follow-up to the accept-any-file-type change. The observe-unmentioned and
replied-media paths relied on cache_media_bytes() returning None for
unsupported document types to emit an 'unsupported, not cached' note. Now
that any file type is always cached, those docs are cached and surfaced with
a path-pointing note — consistent with the main document path. The
remaining cached-is-None branch is image-validation-failure only; its note
is reworded accordingly. Updates the group-gating test to the new contract.
Authorization to message the agent is the gate, not the file extension.
Previously the inbound-attachment allowlist (SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES) was
opt-OUT on Discord (allow_any_attachment defaulted false) and had no bypass
at all on Telegram/Slack — so an .html (or any non-allowlisted type) was
dropped or hard-rejected before the agent saw it.
Now every authorized upload is cached and surfaced to the agent regardless
of type:
- base.cache_media_bytes(): unknown types cache as octet-stream (or the
caller-supplied MIME) instead of returning None — fixes the chokepoint
that Teams/Telegram-media route through.
- discord/telegram/slack adapters: removed the allowlist reject/skip; any
non-media attachment is typed DOCUMENT and cached. Known types keep their
precise MIME.
- Text inlining now gates on a shared _TEXT_INJECT_EXTENSIONS set (text +
code + config + markup) instead of a blind UTF-8 decode, so binary formats
(PDF/zip/docx) with ASCII headers are never inlined.
- gateway/run.py emits the path-pointing context note for every DOCUMENT,
including non text/application MIME types.
- discord.allow_any_attachment is now a documented no-op kept for config
back-compat.
Validation: 357 gateway tests pass; E2E confirms .html/.bin/custom types
cache, known types stay precise, PDFs are not inlined.
* feat(cli): /reasoning full to show complete thinking, not 10-line clamp
The post-response Reasoning recap box hard-clamped long thinking to the
first 10 lines, so there was no way to see the full reasoning trace after
a turn (live streaming already shows it in full). Add display.reasoning_full
(default off) plus /reasoning full|clamp to toggle it at runtime; the clamp
truncation note now points at the command. Addresses repeated user requests
to show all thinking tokens.
* test(gateway): de-snapshot /reasoning help assertion
The test froze the exact args-hint literal '/reasoning [level|show|hide]',
which the new full/clamp args change to '[level|show|hide|full|clamp]'.
Convert to an invariant: assert /reasoning is in help and carries its core
args, not the exact hint string.
* feat(tui): /reasoning full|clamp parity in tui_gateway
The classic-CLI reasoning_full toggle had no TUI equivalent — typing
/reasoning full in the TUI fell through to parse_reasoning_effort and
errored. The TUI renders thinking as an expand/collapse section (no fixed
10-line recap), so map full -> sections.thinking=expanded (raw, uncapped
via thinkingPreview mode='full') and clamp -> collapsed, persisting
display.reasoning_full for cross-surface config consistency.
Remove the dashboard --insecure auth-bypass, add an MCP persistence guard +
IOC blocklist, and raise the API-server key entropy floor.
Driven by the June 2026 hermes-0day campaign (r/hermesagent, live 854.media
instance): scanners find exposed Hermes dashboards/API servers, drive the
root agent to plant a 'command: bash' MCP entry that appends an attacker SSH
key to authorized_keys, which cron + startup then re-execute every tick.
- dashboard: --insecure no longer disables the auth gate. should_require_auth
returns True for every non-loopback bind; a public bind ALWAYS requires an
auth provider (bundled password provider or OAuth). --insecure kept as a
warned no-op for backward compat. Fail-closed error now points at the
password provider, not at --insecure.
- mcp_security: validate_mcp_server_entry now also rejects shell payloads that
write to OS persistence surfaces (authorized_keys/.ssh/pam.d/sudoers/cron/
rc files) and hard-rejects a hermes-0day IOC blocklist (attacker SSH key +
source IPs) anywhere in command/args/env. Runs at save AND spawn time.
- api_server: raise network-bind API_SERVER_KEY entropy floor 8->16 chars;
warn when a network-accessible API server runs an unsandboxed local backend.
The PID-reuse guard (#43846) reads /proc/<pid>/stat field 22, which only
exists on Linux — on macOS/Windows it returned None and the guard silently
degraded to a bare liveness check (a no-op, safety-wise). Add a
psutil.create_time() fallback (psutil is a hard dep, cross-platform),
quantized to centiseconds for stable equality, so the recycled-PID guard
actually protects macOS/Windows too. /proc always wins first on Linux and
always misses on macOS/Windows, so the two sources never mix on one host and
same-source equality is all the guard needs.
The salvaged test spawned a listener subprocess that printed its port
immediately after bind() but BEFORE listen(), so under CI's loaded 8-worker
box the parent connected before the socket was listening -> ConnectionRefused
(flaked on test slice 2/6). Reorder the child to listen() then print the port,
and make the client connect with a short bounded retry to absorb scheduler
jitter. 15/15 green locally including direct hammering.
Follow-up to the salvaged #43846 commits: the WhatsApp adapter moved from
gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py to plugins/platforms/whatsapp/adapter.py since the
PR was authored. The cherry-pick brought _listener_pids_on_port's `re.finditer`
ss-fallback and the new test's import, but the new module location doesn't import
`re` (latent NameError on the lsof-absent fallback path) and the test imported the
old module path. Add `import re` to the adapter and repoint the test import.
This is the bug that was actually closing Firefox. `_kill_port_process`, run on
every bridge (re)start to free the port, used `lsof -ti :PORT` / `fuser PORT/tcp`
— both of which match a process whose socket merely *involves* that port number
in ANY state, including ESTABLISHED client connections. It then SIGTERMed every
match.
The bridge defaults to port 3000 — a ubiquitous local dev-server port. With a
browser tab open on localhost:3000, `lsof -ti :3000` returned Firefox's PID, so
each restart of the (crash-looping) WhatsApp bridge SIGTERMed Firefox, closing
the whole browser at irregular intervals with no crash and no coredump.
Proven live with the kernel `signal:signal_generate` tracepoint:
hermes-gateway(3396516) -> sig=15 (code=0/SI_USER) -> comm=firefox pid=3371585
captured immediately after a gateway start, while Firefox held a socket on the
bridge port. Demonstrated over-match: `lsof -ti :8080` returns the listener AND
the gateway's own client connection; `lsof -ti tcp:8080 -sTCP:LISTEN` returns
only the listener.
Fix: `_listener_pids_on_port` resolves only LISTEN-state sockets
(`lsof -ti tcp:PORT -sTCP:LISTEN`, with an `ss -ltnp` fallback) and
`_kill_port_process` signals just those. A client whose connection happens to
involve the port number is never touched — which is also more correct, since a
client never blocks the new bridge from binding. Windows already filtered
LISTENING; the broad `fuser -k` path is removed.
Adds TestKillPortProcess: real-socket tests proving a separate client process
is excluded from the listener lookup and survives port cleanup. 9 tests green.

`_kill_stale_bridge_by_pidfile` SIGTERMed the PID recorded in `bridge.pid`
after only a bare liveness check. Once the bridge exits and is reaped the
kernel recycles that PID onto an unrelated process; because the WhatsApp bridge
crash-loops ("Bridge process died (exit code 1)" repeating), this cleanup ran
on every restart and could SIGTERM a recycled PID that had landed on the user's
browser — closing Firefox at irregular intervals with no crash and no coredump
(a clean kill of a stranger).
Same PID-recycling class as the MCP reaper (7bd1f8a2d) and the process-registry
host-PID guard (e6a99cef2); this was the third, and most actively-fired, path.
Fix: `_write_bridge_pidfile` now also records the leader's kernel start time
(line 2). `_kill_stale_bridge_by_pidfile` re-validates identity via
`_bridge_pid_is_ours` before signalling — the (pid, start time) pair must match,
or for legacy single-line pidfiles the live cmdline must name `node` + this
session's unique path. A recycled PID (different start time / cmdline) is logged
and skipped, never signalled. Legacy pidfiles stay readable.
Adds TestWhatsappBridgePidfile: real-process tests proving a genuine bridge is
reaped while a recycled PID (start-time mismatch, or non-bridge cmdline) is
spared. 7 new + 108 gateway/registry tests green.

Pin the contract that ``_apply_env_overrides`` consults ``is_connected``
before the install-triggering ``check_fn``: an unconfigured platform is
skipped without calling ``check_fn`` (no lazy install), while a configured
platform still has ``check_fn`` run and is auto-enabled. The first assertion
fails on the pre-fix unconditional sweep.
Follow-up to the salvaged #9560 fix:
- Replace the _TRAVERSAL_RE regex with an explicit _is_path_unsafe() helper
(drops the now-unused `import re`); catches a path separator ANYWHERE,
not just leading, so a non-leading Windows backslash can't slip through.
- Switch the per-entry skip in _ensure_loaded_locked from print() to
logger.warning to match the module's logging conventions.
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for the contributor.
- Add regression tests for the non-leading-separator case.
Extends the CWE-22 path traversal guard to cover Windows absolute paths
of the form C:/... and D:\... — previously only leading / and \ were
checked, which missed drive-letter prefixes. Replaces the inline
startswith check with a compiled module-level regex (_TRAVERSAL_RE) that
covers all three attack patterns: .., leading /\, and leading X: drives.
Adds two regression tests for C:/windows/system32 and D:\\path\\to\\file.

- SessionEntry.from_dict now raises ValueError for session_key or session_id
containing '..' or starting with '/' or '\' (directory traversal guard)
- SessionStore._ensure_loaded moves per-entry validation inside the loop so
one malicious/corrupt entry is skipped with a warning instead of aborting
the entire sessions.json load
- Adds TestSessionEntryFromDictTraversalValidation (5 cases) and
TestEnsureLoadedSkipsInvalidEntries covering the skip-not-abort behavior

When a streamed Telegram reply finalizes, the stream consumer could take
the fresh-final path (send a new sendRichMessage + best-effort delete the
preview) purely because the time-based _should_send_fresh_final()
threshold elapsed — even though Telegram's prefers_fresh_final_streaming
returns False. The fresh Rich Message then overlapped the legacy
MarkdownV2 preview already on screen, leaving both visible (the #47048
table + bullet double-render).
Honor the adapter's decision: when prefers_fresh_final_streaming exists
on the adapter (checked on the class + instance __dict__ so MagicMock
auto-attrs don't false-positive) and declines, the time threshold no
longer overrides it. Adapters without the hook keep the time-based
fresh-final for backward compat.
Fixes#47048
Fold in the #40715 blank-env OOM fix on top of the host-resolution change:
- connect() now sets a non-retryable fatal error when required settings are
missing, so the gateway stops reconnecting against an empty host instead of
looping forever and leaking memory until the host OOM-kills.
- check_email_requirements() treats blank/whitespace-only EMAIL_* values as
missing, so an abandoned setup with empty keys no longer enables the platform.
Credits the parallel fixes by zerone0x (#40745) and liuhao1024 (#40829).
The email adapter read address/host purely from env vars and never stripped
them, so a missing or whitespace-padded EMAIL_IMAP_HOST reached
imaplib.IMAP4_SSL("") and surfaced as the misleading
"[Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known" — sending users down a
DNS rabbit hole when the real problem was an empty/dirty host string. A
config.yaml-only setup also left the host empty because __init__ ignored
PlatformConfig.extra, even though the "connected" check, the send helper, and
`hermes config show` already read address/imap_host/smtp_host from it.
Resolve address/imap_host/smtp_host from the env var first, then fall back to
config.extra, and strip surrounding whitespace — matching the send helper's
existing pattern. Validate the required settings at the start of connect() and
return False with an actionable message instead of attempting a connection with
an empty host.
Adds regression tests for whitespace stripping, config.extra fallback, and the
no-IMAP-attempt-on-missing-host path.
When a /model switch resolves a valid model but the in-place agent swap
fails mid-conversation (expired key, unreachable base_url), the agent
rolls itself back to the old working model+client and re-raises. The
callers caught that re-raise, logged a warning, then committed the broken
switch anyway: wrote the failed model to the session DB, set
_session_model_overrides to the broken model/provider/key, and (gateway
direct path) evicted the working cached agent. The next message then
rebuilt a dead agent from the broken override -> permanently unusable
conversation (#50163).
Fix the whole caller class so a failed swap aborts the commit entirely:
- gateway/slash_commands.py (picker + direct /model paths): on swap
failure, early-return an error message; skip DB persist, session
override, cache eviction, and config write.
- cli.py (both /model handlers): snapshot CLI-level credential/runtime
fields before mutating, restore them on swap failure, and abort the
note + success print.
- tui_gateway/server.py: wrap the previously-unguarded swap; on failure
raise a clean error and skip worker restart, runtime persist, switch
marker, session model_override, and config persist.
The no-cached-agent path (apply-on-next-session) is unaffected.
Adds a gateway regression test that fails on the pre-fix behavior.
Baileys' jidDecode crashes ("Cannot destructure property 'user' of
jidDecode(...) as it is undefined") when handed a bare phone number, so
sending a WhatsApp message to +50766715226 / 50766715226 returned HTTP
500 and never delivered (#8637).
Add to_whatsapp_jid() to gateway/whatsapp_identity.py — the outbound
inverse of normalize_whatsapp_identifier: it builds the JID a send must
use (bare phone -> <digits>@s.whatsapp.net) and passes through already
qualified JIDs (@g.us, @lid, status@broadcast, @newsletter) unchanged.
Wire it at every outbound bridge call site in the WhatsApp adapter
(send, edit, media, typing, get_chat_info, and the standalone cron /
send_message sender).

In Telegram streaming, the typing indicator persisted through the slow
final rich-text/MarkdownV2 finalize edit, so the '...typing' bubble
lingered for seconds after the last streamed token. Add a one-shot
on_before_finalize hook to GatewayStreamConsumer, fired once when the
stream transitions into its finalization path, and wire it on both
Telegram streaming call sites to call pause_typing_for_chat() before
the final edit. Cover hook ordering and once-only behavior in tests.
Fixes#49712
The gateway dispatcher captured kanban.auto_decompose ONCE at boot, so a user
who flipped it to false to STOP auto-decompose had no way to make that take
effect short of restarting the gateway. Reported (#49638): auto-decompose
created and launched tasks the user never intended (while they were still
typing the task description), and 'even Hermes Agent couldn't disable this
feature' — because the live config edit was silently ignored.
Auto-decompose is a safety toggle; turning it off must halt fan-out on the
next tick. The dispatcher now re-reads the flag (and auto_decompose_per_tick)
from config every tick via the extracted _resolve_auto_decompose_settings(),
which fails SAFE (disabled) on a config read error so a transient failure can
never re-enable a feature the user turned off.
Closes#49638.
After the agent's final response, the '...typing' bubble persisted ~5s.
send() re-triggers send_typing() after every delivery so the bubble
survives intermediate progress messages (Telegram clears typing on each
delivered message). But that re-trigger also fired on the FINAL send,
re-arming Telegram's ~5s timer AFTER the gateway had already torn down
its typing-refresh loop — and Telegram exposes no stop-typing API, so
nothing cancelled it.
Gate the post-send re-trigger on the absence of metadata['notify'] (set
only on the final user-visible reply via _mark_notify_metadata). Both
the rich-message and legacy send paths are covered; intermediate
progress sends still re-trigger so the bubble stays alive mid-response.
Fixes#48678
Add a platform-neutral send-failure vocabulary so consumers can branch on a
typed category instead of substring-matching the raw provider message.
- base.py: SEND_ERROR_KINDS + classify_send_error() (too_long / bad_format /
forbidden / not_found / rate_limited / transient / unknown), and an optional
SendResult.error_kind field (defaults None — fully backward compatible).
- telegram.py: populate error_kind on send() failures; message_too_long keeps
its existing error token plus error_kind='too_long'.
Purely additive: no behavioral change to the existing degrade-and-deliver
paths (MarkdownV2->plain-text fallback, overflow split, retry classification
all untouched). 22 new tests + 210 adapter regression tests green.
* fix(api-server): stop silently promising async delivery on stateless HTTP path
terminal(notify_on_complete=True / watch_patterns) and delegate_task(background=True)
silently no-op'd on the API server / WebUI path (#10760): the watcher / detached
child registered, but every API-server route (OpenAI-spec /v1/chat/completions
and /v1/responses, plus the proprietary /v1/runs SSE stream) tears down its
channel when the turn ends, and APIServerAdapter.send() is a no-op stub. A
completion that fires after the response closed had nowhere to go — from the
agent side, indistinguishable from a hang.
There is no spec-compliant surface to wake the agent later on a stateless HTTP
client, so make the no-op honest instead of silent:
- Add a per-adapter capability flag supports_async_delivery (default True;
APIServerAdapter = False), propagated into a HERMES_SESSION_ASYNC_DELIVERY
contextvar via async_delivery_supported(). Toggle on the adapter, not a
hardcoded platform string — a future stateless adapter is correct-by-default.
- terminal: when delivery is unsupported, skip watcher registration, force
notify_on_complete off, and return a notify_unsupported note telling the
agent to process(action='poll').
- delegate_task: when delivery is unsupported, fall back to SYNCHRONOUS
execution (work runs and returns in the same response) with a note, instead
of handing out a handle that never resolves.
CLI (in-process completion_queue) and the real gateway platforms are unchanged.
Fixes#10760
* refactor(api-server): route session binding through a single no-delivery chokepoint
Add APIServerAdapter._bind_api_server_session() and route both agent-entry
paths (_run_agent for /v1/chat/completions + /v1/responses, and the /v1/runs
_run_sync path) through it. The helper hardwires platform="api_server" and
async_delivery=False with no async_delivery parameter to pass, so a future
route added to the API server physically cannot reintroduce the silent
no-op (#10760) by forgetting to mark the channel as non-delivering.
The binding stays request-scoped (cleared per turn), so a session resumed
later on a delivering interface (CLI / gateway platform) re-binds fresh and
is NOT blocked — the no-delivery decision tracks the interface handling the
current turn, never the session.
Rich messages are not ready for primetime: current Telegram clients can
render Bot API 10.1 rich messages as blank/unsupported bubbles and make
them hard to copy as plain text, which is worse than the legacy
MarkdownV2 path for command snippets and mobile handoffs. Default the
rich_messages toggle to False so replies stay on the copyable legacy
path; users opt in per bot via platforms.telegram.extra.rich_messages:
true. Updates adapter, gateway config default, example config, English +
zh-Hans docs, and the default/opt-in tests.
A turn forcibly interrupted by the drain-timeout escalation never reaches
turn_finalizer.finalize_turn (the only place that flushes the turn to
state.db). Its in-flight tool rounds live only in the in-memory
_session_messages, so the immediate pre-restart turn was silently dropped
from load_transcript() on resume.
_finalize_shutdown_agents now flushes _session_messages to the SQLite
session store before teardown. The flush is idempotent (identity-tracked
in _flush_messages_to_session_db), so agents that finished gracefully
re-flush nothing. The resume_pending / fresh-tool-tail branches in
_handle_message_with_agent already expect a transcript whose tail may be a
pending tool result.
Fixes#13121.
Inbound image/audio/video payloads were buffered fully into process memory
before being written to the cache, with no size limit. A large upload
(Discord Nitro allows 500 MB) or a remote media URL in an inbound message
pointing at a huge file could spike RAM and OOM-kill the gateway.
Enforce a configurable cap in the shared cache helpers (gateway/platforms/
base.py) so the protection holds across every platform adapter, not one:
- cache_image/audio/video_from_bytes reject oversized payloads before writing
(video was the gap in the original report — now covered).
- cache_image/audio_from_url stream the body, rejecting on an oversized
Content-Length header and re-checking the running total per chunk so an
absent/lying header can't smuggle an unbounded body past the cap.
- Discord's _read_attachment_bytes checks att.size up front, so an oversized
attachment is rejected before any bytes are pulled into memory.
Configurable via gateway.max_inbound_media_bytes in config.yaml (default
128 MiB; 0 disables). No new env var — non-secret config lives in config.yaml.
Salvaged and extended from @sgaofen's PR #13341 (the original report and the
shared-helper approach). Reapplied onto current main (Discord adapter has
since moved to plugins/platforms/discord/), the configurable knob moved from
an env var to config.yaml, and the video cache helper added.

Funnel session finalization through AIAgent.close() — the single terminal
path every agent (CLI, gateway, subagent, cron) funnels through — so finished
agents stop leaving rows with ended_at IS NULL. The biggest leak source was
delegate_task subagent + background-review forks whose close() never ended
their row.
end_session() is first-reason-wins and no-ops on an already-ended row, so a
'compression'/'cron_complete'/'cli_close' reason set by an earlier terminal
path is never clobbered. /resume already calls reopen_session(), so
finalizing-on-close does not break resumability.
Temporary helper agents that rotate/share the session forward (manual
compression, gateway session-hygiene) opt out via _end_session_on_close=False.
Also stop the long-running gateway heartbeat once the executor is done or the
session slot is rebound to a different agent, preventing a stale
'running: delegate_task' bubble from outliving its run.
Closes#12029.
Telegram Mac/Desktop Bot API 10.1 rich-message rendering leaves garbled
overlapping draft/overlay glyphs for CJK text (#47653), affecting every
message containing CJK characters. The legacy MarkdownV2 path renders the
same text cleanly, so skip the rich send / draft / final-edit paths up
front for content containing CJK (incl. astral-plane extensions) until
affected clients age out. Non-CJK rich rendering is preserved.
Fixes#47653
The newline normalization is the shared chokepoint for every rich send
(sendRichMessage, draft, and editMessageText). Injecting a Markdown hard
break (two trailing spaces) into a GFM table row separator corrupts the
natively-rendered table — the rich path's headline feature. Protect both
fenced code blocks AND pipe-table blocks as bare regions; only prose
between them gets hard breaks. Verified RICH_CONTENT and the existing
rich-table tests stay byte-identical.
Bot API 10.1 sendRichMessage treats a lone newline as a soft break, so
multi-line content joined with "\n".join(lines) — slash-command lists,
etc. — collapses into a single paragraph. Normalize single newlines to
Markdown hard breaks (two trailing spaces) in _rich_message_payload,
leaving paragraph breaks and fenced code blocks untouched.
Fixes#46070
The gateway pre-compression hygiene valve force-compressed any session
crossing 400 messages regardless of token usage. On large-context (1M+)
models doing many short, message-dense turns, a healthy session at ~16%
token usage could hit 400 messages and get force-compressed — and the
compression summary's stale Active Task could then bleed into the next
turn.
The valve's actual purpose is to break a death spiral: when API calls
keep disconnecting on an oversized session, no token-usage data arrives,
the token threshold never fires, and the transcript grows unbounded.
It's a count-based floor for that pathological case only. 400 was tuned
for ~200K-context models and is far too low for modern large-context
sessions. Raise the default to 5000 — still well clear of any death
spiral, but no longer firing on legitimate long conversations.
The value remains fully configurable via compression.hygiene_hard_message_limit.
The OpenAI-compatible API server only enforced a hardcoded cap of 10
concurrent runs on /v1/runs, leaving /v1/chat/completions and
/v1/responses unbounded — a request flood could exhaust CPU, memory,
and upstream LLM quota (#7483).
- Add gateway.api_server.max_concurrent_runs (config.yaml, default 10,
0 disables). No env var.
- Shared concurrency gate across all three agent-serving endpoints,
counting both the chat/responses in-flight counter and the /v1/runs
stream set. Returns OpenAI-style 429 + Retry-After when at the cap.
- Remove the dead hardcoded _MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS class attribute.
Closes#7483.
When truncate_message appends a (N/M) chunk indicator to a chunk that
had to close an in-progress fenced code block, the marker lands on the
closing fence line (``` \(1/2\) after MarkdownV2 escaping). Telegram
does not treat that as a clean closing fence and rejects the MarkdownV2,
falling back to plain text. Move the indicator onto its own line right
after the closing fence at all three legacy-send call sites.
Fixes#48517
