c8c6ce1731 feat(acp-registry): switch to uvx distribution, drop npm launcher
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.

3633c8690b refactor(plugins): add apply_yaml_config_fn registry hook
Lets platform plugins own their YAML→env config bridge instead of forcing
core gateway/config.py to know every platform's schema.

The hook receives the full parsed config.yaml and the platform's own
sub-dict, may mutate os.environ (env > YAML precedence preserved via the
standard `not os.getenv(...)` guards), and may return a dict to merge
into PlatformConfig.extra. It runs during load_gateway_config() after
the existing generic shared-key loop and before _apply_env_overrides(),
mirroring the env_enablement_fn dispatch pattern (#21306, #21331).

Pure addition — no behavior change for existing platforms. Each of the
eight platforms with hardcoded YAML→env blocks today (discord, telegram,
whatsapp, slack, dingtalk, mattermost, matrix, feishu, ~252 LOC in
gateway/config.py) can migrate in independent follow-up PRs; the
hardcoded blocks remain functional in the meantime, and their
`not os.getenv(...)` guards make them no-ops for any env var the hook
already set.

Test coverage: 10 new tests in tests/gateway/test_platform_registry.py
covering field default, callable acceptance, env mutation, extras
merge, both signature args, exception swallowing, missing/non-dict
sections, and env > YAML precedence.

Refs #3823, #24356.
Closes #24836.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends

One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the
image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry,
plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced
through hermes tools.

Surface (one schema, every backend):
- operation: generate / edit / extend
- modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt +
  image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url)
- reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution,
  negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override
- Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via
  VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the
  backend, the agent learns one tool

Backends shipped:
- plugins/video_gen/xai/  — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend +
  image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by
  @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface)
- plugins/video_gen/fal/  — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v,
  Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a
  model doesn't declare

Wiring:
- agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation,
  success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video,
  $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/
- agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list +
  get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml
- hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider()
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in
  hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin,
  config write to video_gen.{provider,model}
- toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset
- tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins
- docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the
  image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated

Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse),
#10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984
(FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin
interface).

* feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities

Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a
static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the
video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions()
time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model.

The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front:
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is
  REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected'
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown
- xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7
  reference_image_urls'
- Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface
  that they need to switch backends via hermes tools'

This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping —
documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is
free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a
mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically.

Tested:
- Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models
  require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side
  rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted
  round-trip
- Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean
  missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches
- 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface /
  text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing
- 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set

* test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema

Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode
from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video,
reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without
prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint
(/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right
payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five
client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt,
extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and
duration/aspect_ratio clamping.

15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing,
modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake
AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload
the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope.

Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations
match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate
'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads:

    Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video
    - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate
    - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16
    - resolution choices: 480p, 720p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images

* feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing

Two design changes per Teknium:

1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video
and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two
modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints
stay out of the unified schema.

2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the
family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether
image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND
'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick
'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest.

Catalog rewritten as families:

    veo3.1            fal-ai/veo3.1                                /  fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    pixverse-v6       fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video             /  fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video
    kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video /  fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video

xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes,
routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no
edit/extend exposure.

Schema changes:
- VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params:
  prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration,
  aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model.
- VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS,
  DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key.
- success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the
  agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.

Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no
'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active
backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads:

    Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6
    - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video
      (pass image_url) - routes automatically
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
    - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier)
    - negative_prompt: supported

Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video
sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image
hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits
image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard.

Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern
as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention.
toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface.

* feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers

Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL:

  Cheap tier:
    ltx-2.3        fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video       / image-to-video
    pixverse-v6    fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video       / image-to-video

  Premium tier:
    veo3.1         fal-ai/veo3.1                          / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    seedance-2.0   bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video   / image-to-video
    kling-v3-4k    fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video
    happy-horse    fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video       / image-to-video

DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane
defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't
explicitly picked a model.

New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video
endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring
image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload
remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url.

Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs:
- LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution
  enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults)
- Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported,
  negative prompts NOT supported per docs
- Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative
- Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s

Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K
start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy
Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green.

Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes
already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing
the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface
without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should
use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available.

* test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality

End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the
actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes
config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then
asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right
payload shape.

Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new
families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get
both modalities tested for free).

Coverage:
- All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases
- xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases
- tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases

For each case, verifies:
- result['success'] is True
- result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise)
- outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint
- text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys
- text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most,
  start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI)

All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every
(provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage.

* feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status

Two changes:

1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in
   the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow —
   most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone
   who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which
   already routes to the provider+model picker.

2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only
   shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without
   FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of
   those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired.

Verified live:
- Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard.
- With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name.
- 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice.

Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative
tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long
wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better.

feat(plugins): run any LLM call from inside a plugin via ctx.llm (#23194)
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm

Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.

New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured

Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.

Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override

Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.

Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
  /receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
  jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
  validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.

Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
  command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
  and json_schema modes

* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing

The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.

Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.

No code change.

* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output

The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:

- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
  structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
  /paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
  complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
  request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
  structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
  alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
  structured or not.'

The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'

No code change.

* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs

The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).

New shape mirrors the host's main config:

  ctx.llm.complete(
      messages=[...],
      provider='openrouter',         # gated, optional
      model='openai/gpt-4o-mini',    # gated, optional
      profile='work',                # gated, optional
      ...
  )

Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.

Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.

Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates

Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.

* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core

Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:

1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
   what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
   'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:

     - explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
     - response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
       canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
     - falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
       when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
       active main provider/model
     - 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty

   Live verified: zero-config call now records
   provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
   instead of provider='auto', model='default'.

2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
   works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
   docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
   exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
   machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
   ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
   sync-hook + sync-llm path.

3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
   is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
   NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
   page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
   users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
   externally.

Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.

* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo

Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:

- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit

A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).

Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
  examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
  sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo

Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.

feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin (#23197)
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin

Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.

Highlights merged into one plugin:

- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
  first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
  token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
  past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
  the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
  user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
  also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
  cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
  /stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
  with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
  markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
  `label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for ` Interrupting`, ` Queued`, etc. —
  busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
  swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
  images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
  registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
  same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
  `tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
  `HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
  setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
  Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
  endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
  `deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
  the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
  signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
  bind the same channel.

Validation
----------

- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_line_plugin.py` →
  73 passed in 1.05s
- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_line_plugin.py

  tests/gateway/test_config.py` → 193 passed, 7 skipped
- E2E import + register + signature roundtrip + `Platform("line")`

Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,
#14988, #8398) by superseding them with a single plugin-form
implementation that takes the best idea from each.

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern

Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.

Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)

Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.

Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.

messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
  Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
  extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
  google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
  silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
  baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
  plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
  SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
  per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
  api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
  default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
  collision.

developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
  run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
  gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
  platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
  yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
  (always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
  _register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
  callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
  NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
  Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
  legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
  fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
  alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
  which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
  'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
  --recurse-submodules.

guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
  positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
  --script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
  that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
  Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
  the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
  rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
  fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
  Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
  China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
  table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
  to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
  at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
  knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
  and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
  one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
  command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
  collects each token correctly.

integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
  actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
  and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
  api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
  refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
  fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
  single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
  alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.

index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
  integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
  Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.

Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

93e25ceb13 feat(plugins): add standalone_sender_fn for out-of-process cron delivery
Plugin platforms (IRC, Teams, Google Chat) currently fail with
`No live adapter for platform '<name>'` when a `deliver=<plugin>` cron
job runs in a separate process from the gateway, even though the
platforms are eligible cron targets via `cron_deliver_env_var` (added
in #21306). Built-in platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) use
direct REST helpers in `tools/send_message_tool.py` so cron can deliver
without holding the gateway in the same process; plugin platforms
historically depended on `_gateway_runner_ref()` which returns `None`
out of process.

This change adds an optional `standalone_sender_fn` field to
`PlatformEntry` so plugins can register an ephemeral send path that
opens its own connection, sends, and closes without needing the live
adapter. The dispatch site in `_send_via_adapter` falls through to the
hook when the gateway runner is unavailable, with a descriptive error
when neither path applies. The hook is optional, so existing plugins
are unaffected.

Reference migrations land in the same change for IRC, Teams, and
Google Chat, exercising the hook across stdlib (asyncio + IRC protocol),
Bot Framework OAuth client_credentials, and Google service-account
flows respectively.

Security hardening on the new code paths:
* IRC: control-character stripping on chat_id and message body to
  block CRLF command injection; bounded nick-collision retries; JOIN
  before PRIVMSG so channels with the default `+n` mode accept the
  delivery.
* Teams: TEAMS_SERVICE_URL validated against an allowlist of known
  Bot Framework hosts (`smba.trafficmanager.net`,
  `smba.infra.gov.teams.microsoft.us`) to block SSRF; chat_id and
  tenant_id constrained to the documented Bot Framework character set;
  per-request timeouts so a slow STS endpoint cannot starve the
  activity POST.
* Google Chat: chat_id and thread_id validated against strict
  resource-name regexes; service-account refresh wrapped in
  `asyncio.wait_for` so a hung token endpoint cannot stall the
  scheduler.

Test coverage: 20 new tests covering happy path, missing-config errors,
network failure modes, and each defensive validation. Existing tests
unchanged. `bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py tests/gateway/test_teams.py
tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py` reports 341 passed, 0 regressions.

Documentation: new "Out-of-process cron delivery" section in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md and an entry
in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md naming the hook.

docs(windows): label native Windows support as early beta (#22115)
Adds early-beta framing to every user-facing surface where native Windows
is introduced — landing page install block, Installation page, Windows
(Native) guide, contributor notes, and README. Sets expectations that the
path installs and runs but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as POSIX,
and points users who want maximum stability at WSL2 instead.

Follow-up to #21561 (native Windows support) and #22089 (Windows docs).

9de893e3b0 feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing.  install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.

## What changed

### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
  Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
  `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
  for subprocesses.  No-op on non-Windows.  Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
  `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
  symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
  consoles.

### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
  `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
  which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
  converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
  on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
  `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
  pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).

### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`.  Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
  the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`

### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows.  Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import.  Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
  `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
  this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
  editor) runs natively on Windows.

### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
  Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
  shipped with the OS).  Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).

### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
  PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
  with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
  `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
  "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
  cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
  rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
  native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.

## Why this shape

Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):

- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
  hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
  Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API.  Python does not get
  that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
  PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
  is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.

## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)

- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
  the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
  cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
  modern code already specifies it.

## Validation

- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
  platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI.  Cover:
  - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
  - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
  - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
  - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
  - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
  - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
  - README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
  pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
  import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
  on Linux (as expected).

## Files

- New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py`
- Modified: `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`,
  `hermes_cli/profiles.py`, `hermes_cli/gateway.py`,
  `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py`, `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py`,
  `hermes_cli/web_server.py`, `tools/browser_tool.py`,
  `tools/process_registry.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, and 4
  docs pages.

Credits to everyone whose prior PR work informed these fixes — see
the co-author trailers.  All of the PRs listed in
`~/.hermes/plans/windows-support-prs.md` fixing `os.kill` / `signal.SIGKILL`
/ UTF-8 stdio / tzdata / README patterns found the same issues; this PR
consolidates them.

docs(platforms): document env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var hooks (#21331)
Following PR #21306 which added the new generic plugin-platform hooks,
update the three platform-authoring docs so plugin authors find them:

- website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md: expand the
  'What the Plugin System Handles Automatically' table with env-only
  auto-enable + cron delivery + hermes-config UI entries rows.  Add
  three new sections — 'Env-Driven Auto-Configuration', 'Cron
  Delivery', 'Surfacing Env Vars in hermes config' — covering the
  hook signatures, plugin.yaml rich-dict format, and the
  home_channel-key special case.  Update the main register() example
  to pass env_enablement_fn + cron_deliver_env_var inline so readers
  see them on their first pass.  Upgrade the PLUGIN.yaml snippet to
  show bare-string + rich-dict + optional_env.

- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: the thin platform
  example in the build-a-plugin tour now includes env_enablement_fn
  and cron_deliver_env_var, plus an optional_env block in the inline
  plugin.yaml.  Keeps pointing to the developer-guide page for the
  full treatment.

- gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md: the in-repo reference
  shallow-points at the docsite but now names the three new hooks
  explicitly so contributors reading the source tree know what
  they're for.  Also adds teams + google_chat as reference
  implementations alongside irc.

docs(plugins): close the gaps \u2014 image-gen-provider-plugin guide + publishing a skill tap (#20800)
Two pluggable surfaces were mentioned in the interfaces map without a
real authoring guide behind them:

1. **Image-gen backends** — only had 'See bundled examples' pointers.
   Now a full developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin.md (270 lines)
   mirroring the memory/context/model provider docs:
   - How discovery works, directory structure, plugin.yaml
   - ImageGenProvider ABC with every overridable method
     (name, display_name, is_available, list_models, default_model,
     get_setup_schema, generate)
   - Full authoring walkthrough with a working MyBackendImageGenProvider
   - Response-format reference (success_response / error_response)
   - Handling b64 vs URL output (save_b64_image helper)
   - User overrides at ~/.hermes/plugins/image_gen/<name>/
   - Testing recipe + pip distribution
   - Reference examples (openai, openai-codex, xai)

2. **Skill taps** — features/skills.md mentioned the CLI commands but
   never explained the repo contract for publishing a tap. Added
   'Publishing a custom skill tap' section under Skills Hub covering:
   - Repo layout (skills/<name>/SKILL.md by default)
   - Minimal working example
   - Non-default path configuration (taps.json)
   - Installing individual skills without subscribing
   - Trust-level handling
   - Full tap management CLI + in-session /skills tap commands

Wired into:
- website/sidebars.ts: image-gen-provider-plugin added to Extending group
- website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md: pluggable interfaces
  table + 'What plugins can do' table now link to the real guides
  instead of 'See bundled examples'
- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: top info map and
  inline sub-sections updated, 'Full guide:' line added to
  image-gen block, tap section mentions publishing

Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, new page renders at
/docs/developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin, anchor
#publishing-a-custom-skill-tap resolves from plugins.md +
build-a-hermes-plugin.md. Pre-existing zh-Hans broken links unchanged.

docs: pluggable surfaces coverage — model-provider guide, full plugin map, opt-in fix (#20749)
* docs(providers): add model-provider-plugin authoring guide + fix stale refs

New docs:
- website/docs/developer-guide/model-provider-plugin.md — full authoring
  guide (directory layout, minimal example, ProviderProfile fields,
  overridable hooks, user overrides, api_mode selection, auth types,
  testing, pip distribution)
- Wired into website/sidebars.ts under 'Extending'
- Cross-references added in:
  - guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md (tip block)
  - developer-guide/adding-providers.md
  - developer-guide/provider-runtime.md

User guide:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: Plugin types table grows from 3 to 4
  with 'Model providers' row

Stale comment cleanup (providers/*.py → plugins/model-providers/<name>/):
- hermes_cli/main.py:_is_profile_api_key_provider docstring
- hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list docstring
- hermes_cli/auth.py: PROVIDER_REGISTRY + alias auto-extension comments
- hermes_cli/models.py: CANONICAL_PROVIDERS auto-extension comment

AGENTS.md:
- Project-structure tree: added plugins/model-providers/ row
- New section: 'Model-provider plugins' explaining discovery, override
  semantics, PluginManager integration, kind auto-coerce heuristic

Verified: docusaurus build succeeds, new page renders, all 3 cross-links
resolve. 347/347 targeted tests pass (tests/providers/,
tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py,
tests/run_agent/test_provider_parity.py).

* docs(plugins): add 'pluggable interfaces at a glance' maps to plugins.md + build-a-hermes-plugin

Devs landing on either the user-guide plugin page or the build-a-plugin
guide now get an upfront table of every distinct pluggable surface with
a link to the right authoring doc. Previously they'd have to read the
full general-plugin guide to discover that model providers / platforms
/ memory / context engines are separate systems.

user-guide/features/plugins.md:
- New 'Pluggable interfaces — where to go for each' section below the
  existing 4-kinds table
- 10 rows covering every register_* surface (tool, hook, slash command,
  CLI subcommand, skill, model provider, platform, memory, context
  engine, image-gen)
- Explicit note: TTS/STT are NOT plugin-extensible yet — documented
  with a pointer to the current config.yaml 'command providers' pattern
  and a note that register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() may
  come later

guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New :::info 'Not sure which guide you need?' map at the top so devs
  see all pluggable interfaces before investing in this 737-line
  general-plugin walkthrough
- Existing bottom :::tip expanded to include platform adapters alongside
  model/memory/context plugins

Verified:
- All 8 cross-doc links in the new plugins.md table resolve in a
  docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
- TTS link corrected (features/voice → features/tts; latter exists)
- Pre-existing broken links/anchors (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist) are unchanged

* docs(plugins): correct TTS/STT pluggability \u2014 they ARE plugins (command-providers)

Previous commit incorrectly said TTS/STT 'aren't plugin-extensible'. They
are, via the config-driven command-provider pattern \u2014 any CLI that reads
text and writes audio (or vice versa for STT) is automatically a plugin
with zero Python. The tts.md docs cover this extensively and I missed it.

plugins.md:
- TTS row: 'Config-driven (not a Python plugin)', points at
  tts.md#custom-command-providers
- STT row: points at tts.md#voice-message-transcription-stt (STT docs
  live in tts.md despite the filename)
- Expanded note: TTS/STT use config-driven shell-command templates as
  their plugin surface (full tts.providers.<name> registry for TTS;
  HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch for STT)
- Any CLI that reads/writes files is automatically a plugin \u2014 no Python
  register_* API needed
- Future register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() hooks mentioned
  as nice-to-have for SDK/streaming cases, not as the primary story

build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- Same map update: TTS/STT rows explicit, footer note corrected

Verified:
- tts.md anchors (custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
  exist and resolve in docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)

* docs(plugins): expand pluggable interfaces table with MCP / event hooks / shell hooks / skill taps

Broadened the scope beyond Python register_* hooks. Hermes has MULTIPLE
plugin-style extension surfaces; they're now all in one table instead of
being scattered across feature docs.

Added rows for:
- **MCP servers** — config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> auto-registers external
  tools from any MCP server. Huge extensibility surface, previously not
  linked from the plugin map.
- **Gateway event hooks** — drop HOOK.yaml + handler.py into
  ~/.hermes/hooks/<name>/ to fire on gateway:startup, session:*, agent:*,
  command:* events. Separate from Python plugin hooks.
- **Shell hooks** — hooks: block in config.yaml runs shell commands on
  events (notifications, auditing, etc.).
- **Skill sources (taps)** — hermes skills tap add <repo> to pull in new
  skill registries beyond the built-in sources.

Both docs updated:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: table column renamed to 'How' (mixes
  Python API + config-driven + drop-in-dir surfaces accurately)
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: :::info map at top mirrors the new
  surfaces with a forward-link to the consolidated table

Note block rewritten: instead of singling out TTS/STT as the 'different
style' exception, now honestly describes that Hermes deliberately
supports three plugin styles — Python APIs, config-driven commands, and
drop-in manifest directories — and devs should pick the one that fits
their integration.

Not included (considered and rejected):
- Transport layer (register_transport) — internal, not user-facing
- Tool-call parsers — internal, VLLM phase-2 thing
- Cloud browser providers — hardcoded registry, not drop-in yet
- Terminal backends — hardcoded if/elif, not drop-in yet
- Skill sources (the ABC) — hardcoded list, only taps are user-extensible

Verified:
- All 5 new anchors resolve (gateway-event-hooks, shell-hooks, skills-hub,
  custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)

* docs(plugins): cover every pluggable surface in both the overview and how-to

Both plugins.md and build-a-hermes-plugin.md now cover every extension
surface end-to-end \u2014 general plugin APIs, specialized plugin types,
config-driven surfaces \u2014 with concrete authoring patterns for each.

plugins.md:
- 'What plugins can do' table grows from 9 rows (general ctx.register_*
  only) to 14 rows covering register_platform, register_image_gen_provider,
  register_context_engine, MemoryProvider subclass, register_provider
  (model). Each row links to its full authoring guide.
- New 'Plugin sub-categories' section under Plugin Discovery explains
  how plugins/platforms/, plugins/image_gen/, plugins/memory/,
  plugins/context_engine/, plugins/model-providers/ are routed to
  different loaders \u2014 PluginManager vs the per-category own-loader
  systems.
- Explicit mention of user-override semantics at
  ~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/ and ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/.

build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New '## Specialized plugin types' section (5 sub-sections):
  - Model provider plugins \u2014 ProviderProfile + plugin.yaml example,
    auto-wiring summary, link to full guide
  - Platform plugins \u2014 BasePlatformAdapter + register_platform() skeleton
  - Memory provider plugins \u2014 MemoryProvider subclass example
  - Context engine plugins \u2014 ContextEngine subclass example
  - Image-generation backends \u2014 ImageGenProvider + kind: backend example
- New '## Non-Python extension surfaces' section (5 sub-sections):
  - MCP servers \u2014 config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> example
  - Gateway event hooks \u2014 HOOK.yaml + handler.py example
  - Shell hooks \u2014 hooks: block in config.yaml example
  - Skill sources (taps) \u2014 hermes skills tap add example
  - TTS / STT command templates \u2014 tts.providers.<name> with type: command
- Distribute via pip / NixOS promoted from ### to ## (they were orphaned
  after the reorganization)

Each specialized / non-Python section has a concrete, copy-pasteable
example plus a 'Full guide:' link to the authoritative doc. Devs arriving
at the build-a-hermes-plugin guide now see every extension surface at
their disposal, not just the general tool/hook/slash-command surface.

Verified:
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- All new cross-links (developer-guide/model-provider-plugin,
  adding-platform-adapters, memory-provider-plugin, context-engine-plugin,
  user-guide/features/mcp, skills#skills-hub, hooks#gateway-event-hooks,
  hooks#shell-hooks, tts#custom-command-providers,
  tts#voice-message-transcription-stt) resolve
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
  adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)

* docs(plugins): fix opt-in inconsistency — not every plugin is gated

The 'Every plugin is disabled by default' statement was wrong. Several
plugin categories intentionally bypass plugins.enabled:

- Bundled platform plugins (IRC, Teams) auto-load so shipped gateway
  channels are available out of the box. Activation per channel is via
  gateway.platforms.<name>.enabled.
- Bundled backends (plugins/image_gen/*) auto-load so the default
  backend 'just works'. Selection via <category>.provider config.
- Memory providers are all discovered; one is active via memory.provider.
- Context engines are all discovered; one is active via context.engine.
- Model providers: all 33 discovered at first get_provider_profile();
  user picks via --provider / config.

The plugins.enabled allow-list specifically gates:
- Standalone plugins (general tools/hooks/slash commands)
- User-installed backends
- User-installed platforms (third-party gateway adapters)
- Pip entry-point backends

Which matches the actual code in hermes_cli/plugins.py:737 where the
bundled+backend/platform check bypasses the allow-list.

Rewrote '## Plugins are opt-in' to:
- Retitle to 'Plugins are opt-in (with a few exceptions)'
- Narrow opening claim to 'General plugins and user-installed backends
  are disabled by default'
- Added 'What the allow-list does NOT gate' subsection with a full
  table of which bypass the gate and how they're activated instead
- Fixed migration section wording (bundled platform/backend plugins
  never needed grandfathering)

Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links.

9022804d78 feat(providers): make all 33 providers pluggable under plugins/model-providers/
Every provider profile is now a self-contained plugin under
plugins/model-providers/<name>/, mirroring the plugins/platforms/
pattern established for IRC and Teams. The ProviderProfile ABC
stays in providers/; the per-provider profile data moves out.

- plugins/model-providers/<name>/__init__.py calls register_provider()
- plugins/model-providers/<name>/plugin.yaml declares kind: model-provider
- providers/__init__.py._discover_providers() lazily scans bundled plugins
  then $HERMES_HOME/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ (user override path)
- User plugins with the same name override bundled ones (last-writer-wins
  in register_provider)
- Legacy providers/<name>.py layout still supported for back-compat with
  out-of-tree editable installs
- Hermes PluginManager: new kind=model-provider; skipped like memory
  plugins (providers/ discovery owns them); standalone plugins with
  register_provider+ProviderProfile in their __init__.py auto-coerce to
  this kind (same heuristic as memory providers)
- skip_names extended to include 'model-providers' so the general
  PluginManager doesn't double-scan the category
- 4 new tests in tests/providers/test_plugin_discovery.py covering
  bundled discovery, user override, and general-loader isolation
- Docs updated: website/docs/developer-guide/adding-providers.md,
  provider-runtime.md, providers/README.md, plugins/model-providers/README.md

No API break: auth.py / config.py / doctor.py / models.py / runtime_provider.py /
model_metadata.py / auxiliary_client.py / chat_completions.py / run_agent.py
all still consume providers via get_provider_profile() / list_providers() —
they just now see plugin-discovered entries instead of pkgutil-iterated ones.

Third parties can now drop a single directory into
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/<name>/ to add or override an inference
provider without touching the repo.

20a4f79ed1 feat: provider modules — ProviderProfile ABC, 33 providers, fetch_models, transport single-path
Introduces providers/ package — single source of truth for every
inference provider. Adding a simple api-key provider now requires one
providers/<name>.py file with zero edits anywhere else.

What this PR ships:
- providers/ package (ProviderProfile ABC + 33 profiles across 4 api_modes)
- ProviderProfile declarative fields: name, api_mode, aliases, display_name,
  env_vars, base_url, models_url, auth_type, fallback_models, hostname,
  default_headers, fixed_temperature, default_max_tokens, default_aux_model
- 4 overridable hooks: prepare_messages, build_extra_body,
  build_api_kwargs_extras, fetch_models
- chat_completions.build_kwargs: profile path via _build_kwargs_from_profile,
  legacy flag path retained for lmstudio/tencent-tokenhub (which have
  session-aware reasoning probing that doesn't map cleanly to hooks yet)
- run_agent.py: profile path for all registered providers; legacy path
  variable scoping fixed (all flags defined before branching)
- Auto-wires: auth.PROVIDER_REGISTRY, models.CANONICAL_PROVIDERS,
  doctor health checks, config.OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, model_metadata._URL_TO_PROVIDER
- GeminiProfile: thinking_config translation (native + openai-compat nested)
- New tests/providers/ (79 tests covering profile declarations, transport
  parity, hook overrides, e2e kwargs assembly)

Deltas vs original PR (salvaged onto current main):
- Added profiles: alibaba-coding-plan, azure-foundry, minimax-oauth
  (were added to main since original PR)
- Skipped profiles: lmstudio, tencent-tokenhub stay on legacy path (their
  reasoning_effort probing has no clean hook equivalent yet)
- Removed lmstudio alias from custom profile (it's a separate provider now)
- Skipped openrouter/custom from PROVIDER_REGISTRY auto-extension
  (resolve_provider special-cases them; adding breaks runtime resolution)
- runtime_provider: profile.api_mode only as fallback when URL detection
  finds nothing (was breaking minimax /v1 override)
- Preserved main's legacy-path improvements: deepseek reasoning_content
  preserve, gemini Gemma skip, OpenRouter response caching, Anthropic 1M
  beta recovery, etc.
- Kept agent/copilot_acp_client.py in place (rejected PR's relocation —
  main has 7 fixes landed since; relocation would revert them)
- _API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS alias kept for backward compat with existing
  test imports

eeb05cf556 docs: default custom tool creation to plugins
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.

Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
  API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths

e464cde58f feat: final platform plugin parity — webhook delivery, platform hints, docs
Closes remaining functional gaps and adds documentation.

webhook.py: Cross-platform delivery now checks the plugin registry
  for unknown platform names instead of hardcoding 15 names in a tuple.
  Plugin platforms can receive webhook-routed deliveries.

prompt_builder: Platform hints (system prompt LLM guidance) now fall
  back to the plugin registry's platform_hint field. Plugin platforms
  can tell the LLM 'you're on IRC, no markdown.'

PlatformEntry: Added platform_hint field for LLM guidance injection.

IRC adapter: Added acquire_scoped_lock/release_scoped_lock in
  connect/disconnect to prevent two profiles from using the same IRC
  identity. Added platform_hint for IRC-specific LLM guidance.

Removed dead token-empty-warning extension for plugin platforms
  (plugin adapters handle their own env vars via check_fn).

website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md:
  - Added 'Plugin Path (Recommended)' section with full code examples,
    PLUGIN.yaml template, config.yaml examples, and a table showing all
    18 integration points the plugin system handles automatically
  - Renamed built-in checklist to clarify it's for core contributors

gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md:
  - Added Plugin Path section pointing to the reference implementation
    and full docs guide
  - Clarified built-in path is for core contributors only

docs: resync reference, user-guide, developer-guide, and messaging pages against code (#17738)
Broad drift audit against origin/main (b52b63396).

Reference pages (most user-visible drift):
- slash-commands: add /busy, /curator, /footer, /indicator, /redraw, /steer
  that were missing; drop non-existent /terminal-setup; fix /q footnote
  (resolves to /queue, not /quit); extend CLI-only list with all 24
  CLI-only commands in the registry
- cli-commands: add dedicated sections for hermes curator / fallback /
  hooks (new subcommands not previously documented); remove stale
  hermes honcho standalone section (the plugin registers dynamically
  via hermes memory); list curator/fallback/hooks in top-level table;
  fix completion to include fish
- toolsets-reference: document the real 52-toolset count; split browser
  vs browser-cdp; add discord / discord_admin / spotify / yuanbao;
  correct hermes-cli tool count from 36 to 38; fix misleading claim
  that hermes-homeassistant adds tools (it's identical to hermes-cli)
- tools-reference: bump tool count 55 -> 68; add 7 Spotify, 5 Yuanbao,
  2 Discord toolsets; move browser_cdp/browser_dialog to their own
  browser-cdp toolset section
- environment-variables: add 40+ user-facing HERMES_* vars that were
  undocumented (--yolo, --accept-hooks, --ignore-*, inference model
  override, agent/stream/checkpoint timeouts, OAuth trace, per-platform
  batch tuning for Telegram/Discord/Matrix/Feishu/WeCom, cron knobs,
  gateway restart/connect timeouts); dedupe the Cron Scheduler section;
  replace stale QQ_SANDBOX with QQ_PORTAL_HOST

User-guide (top level):
- cli.md: compression preserves last 20 turns, not 4 (protect_last_n: 20)
- configuration.md: display.platforms is the canonical per-platform
  override key; tool_progress_overrides is deprecated and auto-migrated
- profiles.md: model.default is the config key, not model.model
- sessions.md: CLI/TUI session IDs use 6-char hex, gateway uses 8
- checkpoints-and-rollback.md: destructive-command list now matches
  _DESTRUCTIVE_PATTERNS (adds rmdir, cp, install, dd)
- docker.md: the container runs as non-root hermes (UID 10000) via
  gosu; fix install command (uv pip); add missing --insecure on the
  dashboard compose example (required for non-loopback bind)
- security.md: systemctl danger pattern also matches 'restart'
- index.md: built-in tool count 47 -> 68
- integrations/index.md: 6 STT providers, 8 memory providers
- integrations/providers.md: drop fictional dashscope/qwen aliases

Features:
- overview.md: 9 image models (not 8), 9 TTS providers (not 5),
  8 memory providers (Supermemory was missing)
- tool-gateway.md: 9 image models
- tools.md: extend common-toolsets list with search / messaging /
  spotify / discord / debugging / safe
- fallback-providers.md: add 6 real providers from PROVIDER_REGISTRY
  (lmstudio, kimi-coding-cn, stepfun, alibaba-coding-plan,
  tencent-tokenhub, azure-foundry)
- plugins.md: Available Hooks table now includes on_session_finalize,
  on_session_reset, subagent_stop
- built-in-plugins.md: add the 7 bundled plugins the page didn't
  mention (spotify, google_meet, three image_gen providers, two
  dashboard examples)
- web-dashboard.md: add --insecure and --tui flags
- cron.md: hermes cron create takes positional schedule/prompt, not
  flags

Messaging:
- telegram.md: TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET is now REQUIRED when
  TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL is set (gateway refuses to start without it
  per GHSA-3vpc-7q5r-276h). Biggest user-visible drift in the batch.
- discord.md: HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT_DELAY_SECONDS default
  is 2.0, not 0.1
- dingtalk.md: document DINGTALK_REQUIRE_MENTION /
  FREE_RESPONSE_CHATS / MENTION_PATTERNS / HOME_CHANNEL /
  ALLOW_ALL_USERS that the adapter supports
- bluebubbles.md: drop fictional BLUEBUBBLES_SEND_READ_RECEIPTS env
  var; the setting lives in platforms.bluebubbles.extra only
- qqbot.md: drop dead QQ_SANDBOX; add real QQ_PORTAL_HOST and
  QQ_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
- wecom-callback.md: replace 'hermes gateway start' (service-only)
  with 'hermes gateway' for first-time setup

Developer-guide:
- architecture.md: refresh tool/toolset counts (61/52), terminal
  backend count (7), line counts for run_agent.py (~13.7k), cli.py
  (~11.5k), main.py (~10.4k), setup.py (~3.5k), gateway/run.py
  (~12.2k), mcp_tool.py (~3.1k); add yuanbao adapter, bump platform
  adapter count 18 -> 20
- agent-loop.md: run_agent.py line count 10.7k -> 13.7k
- tools-runtime.md: add vercel_sandbox backend
- adding-tools.md: remove stale 'Discovery import added to
  model_tools.py' checklist item (registry auto-discovery)
- adding-platform-adapters.md: mark send_typing / get_chat_info as
  concrete base methods; only connect/disconnect/send are abstract
- acp-internals.md: ACP sessions now persist to SessionDB
  (~/.hermes/state.db); acp.run_agent call uses
  use_unstable_protocol=True
- cron-internals.md: gateway runs scheduler in a dedicated background
  thread via _start_cron_ticker, not on a maintenance cycle; locking
  is cross-process via fcntl.flock (Unix) / msvcrt.locking (Windows)
- gateway-internals.md: gateway/run.py ~12k lines
- provider-runtime.md: cron DOES support fallback (run_job reads
  fallback_providers from config)
- session-storage.md: SCHEMA_VERSION = 11 (not 9); add migrations
  10 and 11 (trigram FTS, inline-mode FTS5 re-index); add
  api_call_count column to Sessions DDL; document messages_fts_trigram
  and state_meta in the architecture tree
- context-compression-and-caching.md: remove the obsolete 'context
  pressure warnings' section (warnings were removed for causing
  models to give up early)
- context-engine-plugin.md: compress() signature now includes
  focus_topic param
- extending-the-cli.md: _build_tui_layout_children signature now
  includes model_picker_widget; add to default layout

Also fixed three pre-existing broken links/anchors the build warned
about (docker.md -> api-server.md, yuanbao.md -> cron-jobs.md and
tips#background-tasks, nix-setup.md -> #container-aware-cli).

Regenerated per-skill pages via website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py
so catalog tables and sidebar are consistent with current SKILL.md
frontmatter.

docusaurus build: clean, no broken links or anchors.

remove: BOOT.md built-in hook (#17093)
BOOT.md was merged in PR #3733 before the feature was ready — the
built-in hook spawned a bare AIAgent() with no model/runtime kwargs,
which immediately 401s on any provider with a custom endpoint. Three
separate community PRs (#5240, #12514, #14992) tried to paper over it.

Remove the BOOT.md hook entirely and its user-facing docs/tips. Keep
the gateway/builtin_hooks/ package and the HookRegistry._register_builtin_hooks()
hook-point intact as the extension surface for future always-on
gateway hooks.

Closes #5239.

feat(browser): CDP supervisor — dialog detection + response + cross-origin iframe eval (#14540)
* docs: browser CDP supervisor design (for upcoming PR)

Design doc ahead of implementation — dialog + iframe detection/interaction
via a persistent CDP supervisor. Covers backend capability matrix (verified
live 2026-04-23), architecture, lifecycle, policy, agent surface, PR split,
non-goals, and test plan.

Supersedes #12550.

No code changes in this commit.

* feat(browser): add persistent CDP supervisor for dialog + frame detection

Single persistent CDP WebSocket per Hermes task_id that subscribes to
Page/Runtime/Target events and maintains thread-safe state for pending
dialogs, frame tree, and console errors.

Supervisor lives in its own daemon thread running an asyncio loop;
external callers use sync API (snapshot(), respond_to_dialog()) that
bridges onto the loop.

Auto-attaches to OOPIF child targets via Target.setAutoAttach{flatten:true}
and enables Page+Runtime on each so iframe-origin dialogs surface through
the same supervisor.

Dialog policies: must_respond (default, 300s safety timeout),
auto_dismiss, auto_accept.

Frame tree capped at 30 entries + OOPIF depth 2 to keep snapshot
payloads bounded on ad-heavy pages.

E2E verified against real Chrome via smoke test — detects + responds
to main-frame alerts, iframe-contentWindow alerts, preserves frame
tree, graceful no-dialog error path, clean shutdown.

No agent-facing tool wiring in this commit (comes next).

* feat(browser): add browser_dialog tool wired to CDP supervisor

Agent-facing response-only tool. Schema:
  action: 'accept' | 'dismiss' (required)
  prompt_text: response for prompt() dialogs (optional)
  dialog_id: disambiguate when multiple dialogs queued (optional)

Handler:
  SUPERVISOR_REGISTRY.get(task_id).respond_to_dialog(...)

check_fn shares _browser_cdp_check with browser_cdp so both surface and
hide together. When no supervisor is attached (Camofox, default
Playwright, or no browser session started yet), tool is hidden; if
somehow invoked it returns a clear error pointing the agent to
browser_navigate / /browser connect.

Registered in _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS and the browser / hermes-acp /
hermes-api-server toolsets alongside browser_cdp.

* feat(browser): wire CDP supervisor into session lifecycle + browser_snapshot

Supervisor lifecycle:
  * _get_session_info lazy-starts the supervisor after a session row is
    materialized — covers every backend code path (Browserbase, cdp_url
    override, /browser connect, future providers) with one hook.
  * cleanup_browser(task_id) stops the supervisor for that task first
    (before the backend tears down CDP).
  * cleanup_all_browsers() calls SUPERVISOR_REGISTRY.stop_all().
  * /browser connect eagerly starts the supervisor for task 'default'
    so the first snapshot already shows pending_dialogs.
  * /browser disconnect stops the supervisor.

CDP URL resolution for the supervisor:
  1. BROWSER_CDP_URL / browser.cdp_url override.
  2. Fallback: session_info['cdp_url'] from cloud providers (Browserbase).

browser_snapshot merges supervisor state (pending_dialogs + frame_tree)
into its JSON output when a supervisor is active — the agent reads
pending_dialogs from the snapshot it already requests, then calls
browser_dialog to respond. No extra tool surface.

Config defaults:
  * browser.dialog_policy: 'must_respond' (new)
  * browser.dialog_timeout_s: 300 (new)
No version bump — new keys deep-merge into existing browser section.

Deadlock fix in supervisor event dispatch:
  * _on_dialog_opening and _on_target_attached used to await CDP calls
    while the reader was still processing an event — but only the reader
    can set the response Future, so the call timed out.
  * Both now fire asyncio.create_task(...) so the reader stays pumping.
  * auto_dismiss/auto_accept now actually close the dialog immediately.

Tests (tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py, 11 tests, real Chrome):
  * supervisor start/snapshot
  * main-frame alert detection + dismiss
  * iframe.contentWindow alert
  * prompt() with prompt_text reply
  * respond with no pending dialog -> clean error
  * auto_dismiss clears on event
  * registry idempotency
  * registry stop -> snapshot reports inactive
  * browser_dialog tool no-supervisor error
  * browser_dialog invalid action
  * browser_dialog end-to-end via tool handler

xdist-safe: chrome_cdp fixture uses a per-worker port.
Skipped when google-chrome/chromium isn't installed.

* docs(browser): document browser_dialog tool + CDP supervisor

- user-guide/features/browser.md: new browser_dialog section with
  workflow, availability gate, and dialog_policy table
- reference/tools-reference.md: row for browser_dialog, tool count
  bumped 53 -> 54, browser tools count 11 -> 12
- reference/toolsets-reference.md: browser_dialog added to browser
  toolset row with note on pending_dialogs / frame_tree snapshot fields

Full design doc lives at
developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md (committed earlier).

* fix(browser): reconnect loop + recent_dialogs for Browserbase visibility

Found via Browserbase E2E test that revealed two production-critical issues:

1. **Supervisor WebSocket drops when other clients disconnect.** Browserbase's
   CDP proxy tears down our long-lived WebSocket whenever a short-lived
   client (e.g. agent-browser CLI's per-command CDP connection) disconnects.
   Fixed with a reconnecting _run loop that re-attaches with exponential
   backoff on drops. _page_session_id and _child_sessions are reset on each
   reconnect; pending_dialogs and frames are preserved across reconnects.

2. **Browserbase auto-dismisses dialogs server-side within ~10ms.** Their
   Playwright-based CDP proxy dismisses alert/confirm/prompt before our
   Page.handleJavaScriptDialog call can respond. So pending_dialogs is
   empty by the time the agent reads a snapshot on Browserbase.

   Added a recent_dialogs ring buffer (capacity 20) that retains a
   DialogRecord for every dialog that opened, with a closed_by tag:
     * 'agent'       — agent called browser_dialog
     * 'auto_policy' — local auto_dismiss/auto_accept fired
     * 'watchdog'    — must_respond timeout auto-dismissed (300s default)
     * 'remote'      — browser/backend closed it on us (Browserbase)

   Agents on Browserbase now see the dialog history with closed_by='remote'
   so they at least know a dialog fired, even though they couldn't respond.

3. **Page.javascriptDialogClosed matching bug.** The event doesn't include a
   'message' field (CDP spec has only 'result' and 'userInput') but our
   _on_dialog_closed was matching on message. Fixed to match by session_id
   + oldest-first, with a safety assumption that only one dialog is in
   flight per session (the JS thread is blocked while a dialog is up).

Docs + tests updated:
  * browser.md: new availability matrix showing the three backends and
    which mode (pending / recent / response) each supports
  * developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md: three-field snapshot schema
    with closed_by semantics
  * test_browser_supervisor.py: +test_recent_dialogs_ring_buffer (12/12
    passing against real Chrome)

E2E verified both backends:
  * Local Chrome via /browser connect: detect + respond full workflow
    (smoke_supervisor.py all 7 scenarios pass)
  * Browserbase: detect via recent_dialogs with closed_by='remote'
    (smoke_supervisor_browserbase_v2.py passes)

Camofox remains out of scope (REST-only, no CDP) — tracked for
upstream PR 3.

* feat(browser): XHR bridge for dialog response on Browserbase (FIXED)

Browserbase's CDP proxy auto-dismisses native JS dialogs within ~10ms, so
Page.handleJavaScriptDialog calls lose the race. Solution: bypass native
dialogs entirely.

The supervisor now injects Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument with a
JavaScript override for window.alert/confirm/prompt. Those overrides
perform a synchronous XMLHttpRequest to a magic host
('hermes-dialog-bridge.invalid'). We intercept those XHRs via Fetch.enable
with a requestStage=Request pattern.

Flow when a page calls alert('hi'):
  1. window.alert override intercepts, builds XHR GET to
     http://hermes-dialog-bridge.invalid/?kind=alert&message=hi
  2. Sync XHR blocks the page's JS thread (mirrors real dialog semantics)
  3. Fetch.requestPaused fires on our WebSocket; supervisor surfaces
     it as a pending dialog with bridge_request_id set
  4. Agent reads pending_dialogs from browser_snapshot, calls browser_dialog
  5. Supervisor calls Fetch.fulfillRequest with JSON body:
     {accept: true|false, prompt_text: '...', dialog_id: 'd-N'}
  6. The injected script parses the body, returns the appropriate value
     from the override (undefined for alert, bool for confirm, string|null
     for prompt)

This works identically on Browserbase AND local Chrome — no native dialog
ever fires, so Browserbase's auto-dismiss has nothing to race. Dialog
policies (must_respond / auto_dismiss / auto_accept) all still work.

Bridge is installed on every attached session (main page + OOPIF child
sessions) so iframe dialogs are captured too.

Native-dialog path kept as a fallback for backends that don't auto-dismiss
(so a page that somehow bypasses our override — e.g. iframes that load
after Fetch.enable but before the init-script runs — still gets observed
via Page.javascriptDialogOpening).

E2E VERIFIED:
  * Local Chrome: 13/13 pytest tests green (12 original + new
    test_bridge_captures_prompt_and_returns_reply_text that asserts
    window.__ret === 'AGENT-SUPPLIED-REPLY' after agent responds)
  * Browserbase: smoke_bb_bridge_v2.py runs 4/4 PASS:
    - alert('BB-ALERT-MSG') dismiss → page.alert_ret = undefined ✓
    - prompt('BB-PROMPT-MSG', 'default-xyz') accept with 'AGENT-REPLY'
      → page.prompt_ret === 'AGENT-REPLY' ✓
    - confirm('BB-CONFIRM-MSG') accept → page.confirm_ret === true ✓
    - confirm('BB-CONFIRM-MSG') dismiss → page.confirm_ret === false ✓

Docs updated in browser.md and developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md —
availability matrix now shows Browserbase at full parity with local
Chrome for both detection and response.

* feat(browser): cross-origin iframe interaction via browser_cdp(frame_id=...)

Adds iframe interaction to the CDP supervisor PR (was queued as PR 2).

Design: browser_cdp gets an optional frame_id parameter. When set, the
tool looks up the frame in the supervisor's frame_tree, grabs its child
cdp_session_id (OOPIF session), and dispatches the CDP call through the
supervisor's already-connected WebSocket via run_coroutine_threadsafe.

Why not stateless: on Browserbase, each fresh browser_cdp WebSocket
must re-negotiate against a signed connectUrl. The session info carries
a specific URL that can expire while the supervisor's long-lived
connection stays valid. Routing via the supervisor sidesteps this.

Agent workflow:
  1. browser_snapshot → frame_tree.children[] shows OOPIFs with is_oopif=true
  2. browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate', frame_id=<OOPIF frame_id>,
                 params={'expression': 'document.title', 'returnByValue': True})
  3. Supervisor dispatches the call on the OOPIF's child session

Supervisor state fixes needed along the way:
  * _on_frame_detached now skips reason='swap' (frame migrating processes)
  * _on_frame_detached also skips when the frame is an OOPIF with a live
    child session — Browserbase fires spurious remove events when a
    same-origin iframe gets promoted to OOPIF
  * _on_target_detached clears cdp_session_id but KEEPS the frame record
    so the agent still sees the OOPIF in frame_tree during transient
    session flaps

E2E VERIFIED on Browserbase (smoke_bb_iframe_agent_path.py):
  browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate',
              params={'expression': 'document.title', 'returnByValue': True},
              frame_id=<OOPIF>)
  → {'success': True, 'result': {'value': 'Example Domain'}}

  The iframe is <iframe src='https://example.com/'> inside a top-level
  data: URL page on a real Browserbase session. The agent Runtime.evaluates
  INSIDE the cross-origin iframe and gets example.com's title back.

Tests (tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py — 16 pass total):
  * test_browser_cdp_frame_id_routes_via_supervisor — injects fake OOPIF,
    verifies routing via supervisor, Runtime.evaluate returns 1+1=2
  * test_browser_cdp_frame_id_missing_supervisor — clean error when no
    supervisor attached
  * test_browser_cdp_frame_id_not_in_frame_tree — clean error on bad
    frame_id

Docs (browser.md and developer-guide/browser-supervisor.md) updated with
the iframe workflow, availability matrix now shows OOPIF eval as shipped
for local Chrome + Browserbase.

* test(browser): real-OOPIF E2E verified manually + chrome_cdp uses --site-per-process

When asked 'did you test the iframe stuff' I had only done a mocked
pytest (fake injected OOPIF) plus a Browserbase E2E. Closed the
local-Chrome real-OOPIF gap by writing /tmp/dialog-iframe-test/
smoke_local_oopif.py:

  * 2 http servers on different hostnames (localhost:18905 + 127.0.0.1:18906)
  * Chrome with --site-per-process so the cross-origin iframe becomes a
    real OOPIF in its own process
  * Navigate, find OOPIF in supervisor.frame_tree, call
    browser_cdp(method='Runtime.evaluate', frame_id=<OOPIF>) which routes
    through the supervisor's child session
  * Asserts iframe document.title === 'INNER-FRAME-XYZ' (from the
    inner page, retrieved via OOPIF eval)

PASSED on 2026-04-23.

Tried to embed this as a pytest but hit an asyncio version quirk between
venv (3.11) and the system python (3.13) — Page.navigate hangs in the
pytest harness but works in standalone. Left a self-documenting skip
test that points to the smoke script + describes the verification.

chrome_cdp fixture now passes --site-per-process so future iframe tests
can rely on OOPIF behavior.

Result: 16 pass + 1 documented-skip = 17 tests in
tests/tools/test_browser_supervisor.py.

* docs(browser): add dialog_policy + dialog_timeout_s to configuration.md, fix tool count

Pre-merge docs audit revealed two gaps:

1. user-guide/configuration.md browser config example was missing the
   two new dialog_* knobs. Added with a short table explaining
   must_respond / auto_dismiss / auto_accept semantics and a link to
   the feature page for the full workflow.

2. reference/tools-reference.md header said '54 built-in tools' — real
   count on main is 54, this branch adds browser_dialog so it's 55.
   Fixed the header.  (browser count was already correctly bumped
   11 -> 12 in the earlier docs commit.)

No code changes.

feat(skills+terminal): make bundled skill scripts runnable out of the box (#13384)
* feat(skills): inject absolute skill dir and expand ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} templates

When a skill loads, the activation message now exposes the absolute
skill directory and substitutes ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} /
${HERMES_SESSION_ID} tokens in the SKILL.md body, so skills with
bundled scripts can instruct the agent to run them by absolute path
without an extra skill_view round-trip.

Also adds opt-in inline-shell expansion: !`cmd` snippets in SKILL.md
are pre-executed (with the skill directory as CWD) and their stdout is
inlined into the message before the agent reads it. Off by default —
enable via skills.inline_shell in config.yaml — because any snippet
runs on the host without approval.

Changes:
- agent/skill_commands.py: template substitution, inline-shell
  expansion, absolute skill-dir header, supporting-files list now
  shows both relative and absolute forms.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new skills.template_vars,
  skills.inline_shell, skills.inline_shell_timeout knobs.
- tests/agent/test_skill_commands.py: coverage for header, both
  template tokens (present and missing session id), template_vars
  disable, inline-shell default-off, enabled, CWD, and timeout.
- website/docs/developer-guide/creating-skills.md: documents the
  template tokens, the absolute-path header, and the opt-in inline
  shell with its security caveat.

Validation: tests/agent/ 1591 passed (includes 9 new tests).
E2E: loaded a real skill in an isolated HERMES_HOME; confirmed
${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} resolves to the absolute path, ${HERMES_SESSION_ID}
resolves to the passed task_id, !`date` runs when opt-in is set, and
stays literal when it isn't.

* feat(terminal): source ~/.bashrc (and user-listed init files) into session snapshot

bash login shells don't source ~/.bashrc, so tools that install themselves
there — nvm, asdf, pyenv, cargo, custom PATH exports — stay invisible to
the environment snapshot Hermes builds once per session.  Under systemd
or any context with a minimal parent env, that surfaces as
'node: command not found' in the terminal tool even though the binary
is reachable from every interactive shell on the machine.

Changes:
- tools/environments/local.py: before the login-shell snapshot bootstrap
  runs, prepend guarded 'source <file>' lines for each resolved init
  file.  Missing files are skipped, each source is wrapped with a
  '[ -r ... ] && . ... || true' guard so a broken rc can't abort the
  bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new terminal.shell_init_files (explicit list,
  supports ~ and ${VAR}) and terminal.auto_source_bashrc (default on)
  knobs.  When shell_init_files is set it takes precedence; when it's
  empty and auto_source_bashrc is on, ~/.bashrc gets auto-sourced.
- tests/tools/test_local_shell_init.py: 10 tests covering the resolver
  (auto-bashrc, missing file, explicit override, ~/${VAR} expansion,
  opt-out) and the prelude builder (quoting, guarded sourcing), plus
  a real-LocalEnvironment snapshot test that confirms exports in the
  init file land in subsequent commands' environment.
- website/docs/reference/faq.md: documents the fix in Troubleshooting,
  including the zsh-user pattern of sourcing ~/.zshrc or nvm.sh
  directly via shell_init_files.

Validation: 10/10 new tests pass; tests/tools/test_local_*.py 40/40
pass; tests/agent/ 1591/1591 pass; tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py
50/50 pass.  E2E in an isolated HERMES_HOME: confirmed that a fake
~/.bashrc setting a marker var and PATH addition shows up in a real
LocalEnvironment().execute() call, that auto_source_bashrc=false
suppresses it, that an explicit shell_init_files entry wins over the
auto default, and that a missing bashrc is silently skipped.

fix(ci): resolve 4 pre-existing main failures (docs lint + 3 stale tests) (#11373)
* docs: fix ascii-guard border alignment errors

Three docs pages had ASCII diagram boxes with off-by-one column
alignment issues that failed docs-site-checks CI:

- architecture.md: outer box is 71 cols but inner-box content lines
  and border corners were offset by 1 col, making content-line right
  border at col 70/72 while top/bottom border was at col 71. Inner
  boxes also had border corners at cols 19/36/53 but content pipes
  at cols 20/37/54. Rewrote the diagram with consistent 71-col width
  throughout, aligned inner boxes at cols 4-19, 22-37, 40-55 with
  2-space gaps and 15-space trailing padding.

- gateway-internals.md: same class of issue — outer box at 51 cols,
  inner content lines varied 52-54 cols. Rewrote with consistent
  51-col width, inner boxes at cols 4-15, 18-29, 32-43. Also
  restructured the bottom-half message flow so it's bare text
  (not half-open box cells) matching the intent of the original.

- agent-loop.md line 112-114: box 2 (API thread) content lines had
  one extra space pushing the right border to col 46 while the top
  and bottom borders of that box sat at col 45. Trimmed one trailing
  space from each of the three content lines.

All 123 docs files now pass `npm run lint:diagrams`:
  ✓ Errors: 0  (warnings: 6, non-fatal)

Pre-existing failures on main — unrelated to any open PR.

* test(setup): accept description kwarg in prompt_choice mock lambdas

setup.py's `_curses_prompt_choice` gained an optional `description`
parameter (used for rendering context hints alongside the prompt).
`prompt_choice` forwards it via keyword arg. The two existing tests
mocked `_curses_prompt_choice` with lambdas that didn't accept the
new kwarg, so the forwarded call raised TypeError.

Fix: add `description=None` to both mock lambda signatures so they
absorb the new kwarg without changing behavior.

* test(matrix): update stale audio-caching assertion

test_regular_audio_has_http_url asserted that non-voice audio
messages keep their HTTP URL and are NOT downloaded/cached. That
was true when the caching code only triggered on
`is_voice_message`. Since bec02f37 (encrypted-media caching
refactor), matrix.py caches all media locally — photos, audio,
video, documents — so downstream tools can read them as real
files via media_urls. This applies to regular audio too.

Renamed the test to `test_regular_audio_is_cached_locally`,
flipped the assertions accordingly, and documented the
intentional behavior change in the docstring. Other tests in
the file (voice-specific caching, message-type detection,
reply-to threading) continue to pass.

* test(413): allow multi-pass preflight compression

run_agent.py's preflight compression runs up to 3 passes in a loop
for very large sessions (each pass summarizes the middle N turns,
then re-checks tokens). The loop breaks when a pass returns a
message list no shorter than its input (can't compress further).

test_preflight_compresses_oversized_history used a static mock
return value that returned the same 2 messages regardless of input,
so the loop ran pass 1 (41 -> 2) and pass 2 (2 -> 2 -> break),
making call_count == 2. The assert_called_once() assertion was
strictly wrong under the multi-pass design.

The invariant the test actually cares about is: preflight ran, and
its first invocation received the full oversized history. Replaced
the count assertion with those two invariants.

* docs: drop '...' from gateway diagram, merge side-by-side boxes

ascii-guard 2.3.0 flagged two remaining issues after the initial fix
pass:

1. gateway-internals.md L33: the '...' suffix after inner box 3's
   right border got parsed as 'extra characters after inner-box right
   border'. Dropped the '...' — the surrounding prose already conveys
   'and more platforms' without needing the visual hint.

2. agent-loop.md: ascii-guard can't cleanly parse two side-by-side
   boxes of different heights (main thread 7 rows, API thread 5 rows).
   Even equalizing heights didn't help — the linter treats the left
   box's right border as the end of the diagram. Merged into a single
   54-char-wide outer box with both threads labeled as regions inside,
   keeping the ▶ arrow to preserve the main→API flow direction.

fix: stop hermes update from nagging about llm-wiki's wiki.path (#11222)
llm-wiki was the only shipped skill using metadata.hermes.config, which
caused 'hermes update' and 'hermes config migrate' to prompt for a wiki
directory on every run — even for users who have never touched the skill
— because 'enabled' is opt-out (all shipped skills count as enabled unless
explicitly disabled). Declining the prompt didn't persist anything, so
the nag fired again on every update.

Switch llm-wiki to the env var + runtime default pattern that obsidian and
google-workspace already use: WIKI_PATH env var, default $HOME/wiki. No
prompting infrastructure, no config.yaml touch, no nag loop.

Changes:
- skills/research/llm-wiki/SKILL.md: remove metadata.hermes.config,
  document WIKI_PATH env var in the Wiki Location section, update the
  orientation snippet and initialization guidance.
- Docs: replace llm-wiki's wiki.path examples with a generic 'myplugin.path'
  placeholder across configuration.md, features/skills.md, and
  creating-skills.md so users don't try to set skills.config.wiki.path
  expecting llm-wiki to use it.
- skills-catalog.md: mention WIKI_PATH instead of skills.config.wiki.path.

E2E verified: discover_all_skill_config_vars() and get_missing_skill_config_vars()
both return 0 entries after this change, so the prompt branch in migrate_config()
no longer fires.

The metadata.hermes.config feature stays in place for third-party skills
that genuinely need structured config, but built-ins now prefer env vars.

docs: add platform adapter developer guide + WeCom Callback docs (#7969)
Add the missing 'Adding a Platform Adapter' developer guide — a
comprehensive step-by-step checklist covering all 20+ integration
points (enum, adapter, config, runner, CLI, tools, toolsets, cron,
webhooks, tests, and docs). Includes common patterns for long-poll,
callback/webhook, and token-lock adapters with reference implementations.

Also adds full docs coverage for the WeCom Callback platform:

docs: add warning about summary model context length requirement (#7879)
The summary model used for context compaction must have a context window
at least as large as the main agent model. If it's smaller, the
summarization API call fails and middle turns are dropped without a
summary, silently losing conversation context.

Promoted the existing note in configuration.md to a visible warning
admonition, and added a matching warning in the developer guide's
context compression page.

3dd76d2718 docs: fix ASCII diagram width mismatch in architecture.md
The System Overview ASCII diagram had inconsistent box widths:
- Entry Points box bottom border was 73 chars instead of 71

This caused the docs-site-checks CI to fail on every docs-only PR
due to pre-existing errors in the diagram.

Fix: normalize Entry Points bottom border to 71 characters,
matching the top border width.

feat(skills): add skill config interface + llm-wiki skill (#5635)
Skills can now declare config.yaml settings via metadata.hermes.config
in their SKILL.md frontmatter. Values are stored under skills.config.*
namespace, prompted during hermes config migrate, shown in hermes config
show, and injected into the skill context at load time.

Also adds the llm-wiki skill (Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern) as the first
skill to use the new config interface, declaring wiki.path.

Skill config interface (new):
- agent/skill_utils.py: extract_skill_config_vars(), discover_all_skill_config_vars(),
  resolve_skill_config_values(), SKILL_CONFIG_PREFIX
- agent/skill_commands.py: _inject_skill_config() injects resolved values
  into skill messages as [Skill config: ...] block
- hermes_cli/config.py: get_missing_skill_config_vars(), skill config
  prompting in migrate_config(), Skill Settings in show_config()

LLM Wiki skill (skills/research/llm-wiki/SKILL.md):
- Three-layer architecture (raw sources, wiki pages, schema)
- Three operations (ingest, query, lint)
- Session orientation, page thresholds, tag taxonomy, update policy,
  scaling guidance, log rotation, archiving workflow

Docs: creating-skills.md, configuration.md, skills.md, skills-catalog.md

Closes #5100

docs: update honcho CLI reference + document plugin CLI registration (#5308)
Post PR #5295 docs audit — 4 fixes:

1. cli-commands.md: Update hermes honcho subcommand table with 4
   missing commands (peers, enable, disable, sync), --target-profile
   flag, --all on status, correct mode values (hybrid/context/tools
   not hybrid/honcho/local), and note that setup redirects to
   hermes memory setup.

2. build-a-hermes-plugin.md: Replace 'ctx.register_command() —
   planned but not yet implemented' with the actual implemented
   ctx.register_cli_command() API. Add full Register CLI commands
   section with code example.

3. memory-provider-plugin.md: Add 'Adding CLI Commands' section
   documenting the register_cli(subparser) convention for memory
   provider plugins, active-provider gating, and directory structure.

4. plugins.md: Add CLI command registration to the capabilities table.

feat: progressive subdirectory hint discovery (#5291)
As the agent navigates into subdirectories via tool calls (read_file,
terminal, search_files, etc.), automatically discover and load project
context files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules) from those directories.

Previously, context files were only loaded from the CWD at session start.
If the agent moved into backend/, frontend/, or any subdirectory with its
own AGENTS.md, those instructions were never seen.

Now, SubdirectoryHintTracker watches tool call arguments for file paths
and shell commands, resolves directories, and loads hint files on first
access. Discovered hints are appended to the tool result so the model
gets relevant context at the moment it starts working in a new area —
without modifying the system prompt (preserving prompt caching).

Features:
- Extracts paths from tool args (path, workdir) and shell commands
- Loads AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules (first match per directory)
- Deduplicates — each directory loaded at most once per session
- Ignores paths outside the working directory
- Truncates large hint files at 8K chars
- Works on both sequential and concurrent tool execution paths

Inspired by Block/goose SubdirectoryHintTracker.
