The previous implementation captured loop vars via default arguments::
async def _wrapped(ack, body, action, _cb=_cb, _plugin_name=_plugin_name):
slack_bolt's ``kwargs_injection`` introspects each listener's signature
via ``inspect.signature`` and passes ``None`` for any parameter name it
doesn't recognise (see ``slack_bolt/kwargs_injection/async_utils.py``
``build_async_required_kwargs``). That clobbered ``_cb`` to ``None`` at
dispatch time, so the wrapped plugin handler became ``NoneType`` —
``await _cb(...)`` then raised ``'NoneType' object is not callable`` and
no plugin action handler ever fired.
Replace the default-arg trick with a small closure factory so the
wrapper's public signature is exactly ``(ack, body, action)``. Add a
regression test that introspects the wrapped function's signature.
Found via real Slack click on a Block Kit button registered through
``ctx.register_slack_action_handler`` — gateway log showed
``[Slack] Plugin 'None' action handler raised: 'NoneType' object is
not callable`` despite the registration log line confirming the
handler was wired.

Plugins that post Block Kit messages with interactive elements (buttons,
overflow menus, datepickers, etc.) had no documented way to receive the
resulting click events. The plugin API exposed register_tool, register_hook,
register_command, register_platform, and register_context_engine, but
nothing for slack_bolt action handlers. The only workaround was to
monkey-patch SlackAdapter.connect from inside register(), which is
fragile and breaks on every Hermes update.
This change adds:
* PluginContext.register_slack_action_handler(action_id, callback) —
validates inputs and queues the handler on the PluginManager.
action_id accepts whatever slack_bolt.App.action() accepts (literal
string, compiled re.Pattern, or constraint dict).
* PluginManager.get_slack_action_handlers() — accessor used by the
Slack adapter at connect time.
* SlackAdapter.connect — after wiring its built-in approval and
slash-confirm buttons, iterates the plugin-registered handlers
and registers each via self._app.action(matcher)(callback). Each
callback is wrapped defensively so a misbehaving plugin cannot
crash slack_bolt's dispatch loop, with a best-effort ack on
exception so Slack stops retrying the click.
* Defensive fallback when the plugin layer is unhealthy: a
RuntimeError from get_plugin_manager() is logged and swallowed
rather than blocking the gateway from starting.
* Test coverage in tests/gateway/test_slack_plugin_action_handlers.py
for input validation, multi-plugin registration, the connect-time
wiring, defensive exception handling, and the plugin-loader-
failure fallback path.
* Documentation in website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md
describing the new API alongside the existing register_command /
dispatch_tool documentation.

Sibling site of the PDF/DOCX note fixed in PR #44175: the audio file
attachment context note led with "Ask the user what they'd like you to
do with it", steering the model into asking instead of transcribing.
Rewritten to instruct the agent to transcribe/process the file itself
when the request involves its content, only asking when intent is
genuinely unclear. Contract assertion added to the existing audio
attachment note test.
When a user attached a binary document (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, …) in chat, the
context note prepended to the turn said "Ask the user what they'd like you to
do with it." That steered the model into asking the user to paste the
contents rather than extracting the text it is fully capable of reading — so
attached PDFs/DOCX appeared "unreadable" to the agent.
Rewrite the binary-document note to tell the agent the file is a non-text
format saved at the given path and to extract its text itself (e.g. via the
terminal tool or the ocr-and-documents skill) before answering. Text
documents (whose content is already inlined by the platform adapter) keep
their existing note. The note construction is pulled into a small
`_build_document_context_note` helper so it is unit-testable.
Review fixes for the Cron Recipes stack before release:
- hydration-move: */90 in the cron minute field silently wraps to hourly
(croniter-verified) — 90/120-minute options never fired at their stated
cadence. Replaced with an hour-field step (0 9-17/2 * * 1-5) and an
interval_hours slot whose options (1/2/3h) all fire as labeled.
- fill_recipe: reject unknown slot names. A typo'd 'tiem=07:15' used to
silently create the job at the 08:00 default; now it 422s on the dashboard
form and errors on the slash/deep-link paths with the valid slot list.
- deliver slot: non-strict enum (options are suggestions, scheduler
validates downstream) so slack/whatsapp/etc. users aren't locked out;
GET /api/cron/recipes rewrites its options from cron_delivery_targets()
so the dashboard form only offers configured platforms; help text no
longer claims dashboard-created jobs deliver to 'the chat you set this
up from' (the endpoint strips origin — they go to the home channel).
- gateway: success/accept messages no longer point at /cron (cli_only);
surface-aware hint instead. Conversational fill now sends the
'Setting up X — I'll ask you a couple of things…' ack before the agent
turn, matching the CLI experience.
- important-mail catalog entry: reference the urgency classifier by module
path (python3 -m cron.scripts.classify_items) instead of baking an
absolute host path into the job prompt — stale after relocation and
nonexistent on remote terminal backends. cron/scripts is now a real
package and ships in the wheel (pyproject packages.find).
- export_recipe: interval schedules round-trip again — parse_schedule
stores 'minutes' but the renderer only read 'seconds', so every interval
job exported as the silent '0 9 * * *' fallback.
- skills_hub install: say so when a recipe suggestion is dropped
(latched dedup or pending cap) instead of printing nothing.
Targeted tests: 58 cron/recipe + 261 web_server pass; E2E-validated all
14 recipes fill+parse, hydration cadences via croniter, typo rejection on
slash + endpoint paths, surface-aware hints, and interval export round-trip.
Reworks the chat-line UX: pick a recipe by name and the agent asks you for
what it needs, one question at a time, instead of forcing you to hand-type a
slot=val command line.
- /cron-recipe -> lists the catalog
- /cron-recipe <name> -> forgiving name match (exact/prefix/substring/
fuzzy; ambiguous lists candidates), then seeds
the agent with a natural-language fill request
built from the recipe's typed slots + schedule
and prompt templates. The agent asks for each
value one at a time and calls the EXISTING
cronjob tool. No new tool.
- /cron-recipe <name> slot=val -> unchanged deterministic path (fill_recipe ->
create_job) for the dashboard/docs/power user.
Mechanism (no new plumbing, invariant-safe — the seed enters as a normal user
turn, never a synthetic injection):
- shared handler returns RecipeCommandResult{text, agent_seed}; match_recipe()
and build_recipe_seed() are the new shared pieces.
- gateway: dispatch rewrites event.text to the seed and falls through to the
agent (the same pattern /steer uses).
- CLI: handler sets a one-shot self._pending_agent_seed; the interactive loop
consumes it right after process_command() and runs it as the next turn.
The typed-slot schema stays the single source of truth (still validates the
form/inline path via fill_recipe); the agent path just renders those slots into
the questions to ask. Docs updated to lead with the name-then-ask flow.
A 'recipe' is a one-place definition of an automation that every surface
renders natively. The slot schema (cron/recipe_catalog.py) is the single
source of truth; four renderers consume it, and all paths end at the same
cron.jobs.create_job — no second job engine.
Form where there's a screen, conversation where there's a chat line:
- Dashboard / GUI app: a Recipes sub-tab on the Cron page renders each
recipe's typed slots as a form (time-picker, enum dropdown, free-text);
submit POSTs /api/cron/recipes/instantiate which fills + creates the job.
- CLI / TUI / messengers: /cron-recipe lists the catalog, shows a recipe's
fields, or fills + creates from a pasted 'key slot=val' command. The shared
handler (hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py) names any missing/invalid slot so
the agent can ask a targeted follow-up.
- Docs: a generated Cron Recipes catalog page (website, .mdx + React cards)
shows each recipe with a copy-paste command and a 'Send to App' button.
- Desktop: a hermes:// URL scheme (Electron single-instance lock +
setAsDefaultProtocolClient + open-url/second-instance) routes
hermes://cron-recipe/<key>?slot=val into the chat composer pre-filled.
Typed slots (time/enum/text/weekdays) with defaults: users never type raw
cron — recipes parameterize time-of-day and weekday sets and translate to
cron expressions; a free-text 'schedule' slot is the full-flexibility escape
hatch. Consent-first throughout: nothing schedules without an explicit submit
or send.
Core:
- cron/recipe_catalog.py — CronRecipe + RecipeSlot, 5 curated recipes,
recipe_form_schema / recipe_slash_command / recipe_deeplink /
recipe_catalog_entry renderers, fill_recipe (validate + translate to
create_job kwargs).
- hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py — shared /cron-recipe handler (CLI + TUI +
gateway never drift). CommandDef + dispatch in commands.py / cli.py /
gateway/run.py.
Dashboard: GET /api/cron/recipes + POST /api/cron/recipes/instantiate
(web_server.py), CronRecipes.tsx gallery+form, Segmented sub-tab on CronPage,
api.ts methods + types.
Desktop: hermes:// scheme end to end (main.cjs deep-link router + ready-queue,
preload onDeepLink/signalDeepLinkReady, global.d.ts types, desktop-controller
composer prefill, electron-builder protocols key).
Docs: extract-cron-recipes.py generator wired into prebuild.mjs,
cron-recipes-catalog.mdx + CronRecipesCatalog React component, sidebar entry.
Generated index json gitignored like skills.json.
Tests: 23 core (catalog/slots/schedule-resolution/validation/renderers/command
handler/generator) + 5 web_server endpoint tests. E2E verified end to end:
slot fill -> create_job -> persisted job with correct schedule/deliver/origin.
Hermes can propose automations and let the user accept them with one tap
via /suggestions, instead of making them assemble cron jobs by hand. Every
proposal — wherever it originates — flows through one surface.
Sources (the 'where suggestions come from'):
- catalog: curated starter automations (daily briefing, important-mail
monitor, weekly review, workday-start reminder) via /suggestions catalog
- recipe: installing a skill that carries a metadata.hermes.recipe block
registers a suggestion instead of auto-scheduling
- usage / integration: reserved for the background-review detector and
account-connect triggers (sources defined; emitters land next)
Pieces:
- cron/suggestions.py — the store. add/list/accept/dismiss, dedup+latch by
key (dismissed proposals never re-offered), pending cap so it can't become
a nag wall. Accepting calls the existing cron.jobs.create_job — there is
NO second job engine. Mirrors jobs.py storage (atomic writes, lock, 0600).
- cron/suggestion_catalog.py — the curated set. The important-mail monitor
entry is where the old proactive-monitor poll->classify->surface engine
lives now (cron/scripts/classify_items.py + the 'monitor' aux task), as ONE
catalog automation rather than a standalone feature.
- tools/recipes.py — recipe<->job bridge; register_recipe_suggestion() makes
a recipe source 'recipe' of this surface. recipe_to_job_spec() is the single
translation both the direct and suggestion paths share.
- hermes_cli/suggestions_cmd.py — shared /suggestions handler (CLI + gateway
never drift); /suggestions [accept N|dismiss N|catalog|clear].
- Wired: CommandDef + CLI dispatch (cli.py) + gateway dispatch (gateway/run.py)
+ aux 'monitor' task (config.py) + recipe-install hook (skills_hub.py).
Consent-first throughout: nothing auto-schedules; acceptance is always
explicit; dismissals latch.
Supersedes #41122 (proactive-monitor) and #41127 (recipes): both fold in here
as a catalog entry and a suggestion source respectively.
Tests: store (dedup/cap/accept/dismiss/latch), catalog seeding+idempotency,
recipe->suggestion bridge, command handler, aux config. E2E: recipe SKILL.md
-> parsed -> suggested -> accepted -> real cron job persisted to jobs.json.
* fix(gateway): gate oversized Telegram voice/audio before download
Adds a pre-download size check to the Telegram voice and audio inbound
paths. Files that exceed _max_doc_bytes (default 20 MB) are rejected
before get_file() is called, preventing silent OOM-style stalls on large
uploads. A human-readable note is appended to the event text so the
model can explain the limit to the user.
Also extends 403 entitlement detection in recover_with_credential_pool
to cover two additional cases: 'oauth authentication is currently not
allowed for this organization' and Anthropic anthropic_messages-mode 403s,
both of which should be treated as entitlement failures rather than
transient errors.
Tests: 7 new cases in test_telegram_voice_v0_regressions.py covering
the size gate (accept, reject, note text) and the STT-failure notice path.
Salvaged from #40487 (cryptopafi) — cherry-picked the Telegram voice
policy and 403 entitlement fixes; LiveKit/Discord/uv.lock workstreams
left for separate PRs.
* test(gateway): drop orphaned voice tests not backed by this PR
The cherry-picked test file from #40487 included 3 tests for STT-failure
notice and voice-mode (_handle_voice_command 'on' -> voice_only) behavior
that this PR intentionally does NOT salvage (those belong to the LiveKit/
voice-policy workstreams left in #40487). They fail on both this branch
and clean main because the feature code isn't present.
Keep only the 2 tests backed by code actually in this PR:
- test_telegram_audio_size_gate_rejects_oversized_media_before_download
(covers the _telegram_media_size_allowed guard this PR adds)
- test_voice_tts_is_explicit_audio_reply_opt_in (matches current main)
Removed now-unused imports (MessageEvent, MessageType, AsyncMock).
* fix(matrix): isolate room context and inbound dispatch
* test(matrix): cover room isolation and dispatch regressions
* docs(matrix): document room isolation and session scope
* fix(matrix): stabilize CI requirement checks
* test(matrix): isolate mautrix stubs in requirements tests
* fix(matrix): port room-scoped status and resume to slash commands mixin
Move Matrix /status scope output and /resume same-room guards from the
pre-refactor gateway/run.py into gateway/slash_commands.py so PR #18505
foundation behavior survives the upstream god-file decomposition.
Uses i18n keys for Matrix resume/status messages. Preserves upstream
session.py fixes (role_authorized, DM user_id isolation).
* docs(matrix): explain inbound dispatch via handle_sync loop
Document why Hermes uses an explicit sync loop with handle_sync() rather than
client.start(), aligning with upstream #7914 diagnostics while preserving
Hermes background maintenance tasks.
* fix(i18n): add Matrix resume/status keys to all locale catalogs
The Matrix /resume and /status slash-command keys added in the foundation
PR must exist in every supported locale file. tests/agent/test_i18n.py
asserts key and placeholder parity across catalogs.
Non-English locales use English strings as interim placeholders until
community translators can localize them.
* fix(matrix): restore gateway authz for allowed_users; honor config require_mention
Revert the early MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS gate in _on_room_message so inbound
sender authorization stays in gateway authz like main. Parse require_mention
from config.extra (platforms.matrix / top-level matrix yaml) with env fallback,
matching thread_require_mention and fixing Forge when require_mention is set
only in profile config.yaml.
* fix(matrix): harden status scope and allowlisted DMs
* fix(matrix): use session store lookup for resume scope
A long-lived Baileys bridge survives gateway restarts AND hermes update:
connect() adopted any bridge already listening with status connected, and
disconnect() only kills bridges the adapter spawned itself. Users who
updated to get inbound media support kept talking to a bridge process
serving months-old bridge.js — images and voice notes still arrived as
placeholders with no cached file path (refs #19105 follow-up reports).
Three fixes in the same stale-bridge class:
- Staleness handshake: bridge.js reports a sha256 self-hash in /health
(scriptHash); connect() compares it against bridge.js on disk and
restarts the bridge on mismatch. Pre-handshake bridges report no hash
and are treated as stale, so every existing stale bridge gets recycled
exactly once on the next gateway start.
- npm dep refresh: deps reinstall when package.json changes (stamp file
in node_modules), not only when node_modules is missing — a Baileys
pin bump now actually lands.
- Cache-dir passthrough: the gateway passes profile-aware
HERMES_{IMAGE,AUDIO,DOCUMENT}_CACHE_DIR to the bridge instead of the
bridge hardcoding ~/.hermes/image_cache etc., fixing media paths under
HERMES_HOME overrides, profiles, and the new cache/ layout.
Follow-up to the salvaged #41264 (Windows watcher): the setsid/bash detached
restart watcher on Linux/macOS inherits _HERMES_GATEWAY=1 the same way, so
the CLI's self-restart loop guard silently refuses 'hermes gateway restart'
and the gateway never comes back. Scrub the marker from the watcher env on
the POSIX branch as well, and extend the setsid test to assert it.
When the agent runs several terminal commands back-to-back, each
progress line repeated the '💻 terminal' header above its fenced code
block, cluttering the progress bubble. Now only the first terminal call
in a streak emits the header; subsequent consecutive terminal calls
render adjacent code blocks. Any other tool (or non-block preview)
resets the streak so the next terminal call gets a fresh header.
Follow-ups on top of the two salvaged GodsBoy commits, all live-validated
against the real Telegram Bot API:
- _edit_overflow_split finalize fallbacks degrade to _strip_mdv2() clean
text instead of putting raw **markdown** markers on screen (salvaged
from PR #43463 minus its format-first sizing — live probes show
Telegram's 4096 limit counts PARSED text, so MarkdownV2 escape
inflation cannot cause MESSAGE_TOO_LONG and sizing against formatted
wire length only causes premature splits and fragment messages).
- Skip the redundant requires-finalize edit after a got_done edit that
split-and-delivered (salvaged from PR #43463): re-finalizing re-splits
the full text into the adopted continuation and duplicates chunks.
- _send_fallback_final only deletes the stale partial message when the
fallback re-sent the COMPLETE final text. When the prefix dedup sent
only the missing tail, the partial IS the head of the answer; deleting
it left users with only the second half of long responses (live-
reproduced: flood-control during a long stream -> head deleted,
ratio 0.54 of content visible). This is the third bug behind the
'Telegram cut messages' reports and was present on main and both PRs.
Follow-ups to #38199/#43354 found in post-merge review:
- Inline CLI memory approval never worked: the per-thread approval callback
was not passed to prompt_dangerous_approval, so the prompt_toolkit
fail-closed guard (#15216) denied every gated foreground write without
showing a prompt. Now invokes the registered callback directly; a crashed
prompt falls back to staging instead of a silent deny.
- Gateway sessions claimed inline support but prompt_dangerous_approval has
no gateway round-trip (that lives in the pending-approval queue), so gated
gateway memory writes hit the input() fallback and denied. Gateway
contexts now stage for /memory pending review.
- /skills pending|approve|reject|diff|approval now works on the gateway
(gateway_config_gate on skills.write_approval), so skills staged from a
messaging session can be reviewed there. Diff output truncated for chat.
- memory_tool validates required params before the gate so invalid writes
are rejected immediately instead of staged and failing at approve time.
- Stale tri-state write_mode docstrings updated to the boolean gate; docs
table corrected (inline prompt is interactive-CLI-only).
- 6 new tests covering the interactive approve/deny/error paths, gateway
staging, skills never-prompt invariant, and pre-gate validation.
Two fixes for the reported Slack thread approval UX:
1. Slack Block Kit approval/confirm sends silently overflowed the
3000-char section-block cap (flat 2900-char truncation + header +
reason), so long execute_code approvals failed with invalid_blocks
and fell back to the plain-text prompt with no buttons. Budget the
command preview against the rendered fixed parts so blocks never
exceed the cap (send_exec_approval + send_slash_confirm).
2. The text fallbacks told users to reply /approve — which Slack blocks
inside threads and Matrix clients reserve client-side. Add a
typed_command_prefix capability flag on BasePlatformAdapter
(default "/"; Slack and Matrix set "!" to match their existing
bang-prefix rewrite) and use it in the shared fallback prompt
builders (exec approval, update prompt, destructive slash confirm,
expensive-model confirm) plus Matrix's reaction-prompt text.
The slash-confirm text-intercept now also accepts bang-prefixed
replies (!always, !cancel) since those keywords aren't registered
commands and the adapters' rewrite doesn't touch them.
Follow-ups on top of #26016's expensive-model guard:
- gateway/slash_commands.py: typed '/model <name>' now routes through the
expensive-model confirmation gate (slash-confirm buttons / text fallback)
instead of bypassing the guard the pickers enforce. Cancel leaves the
session override and --global config untouched.
- telegram/discord/web_server: run expensive_model_warning() via
asyncio.to_thread — it can hit models.dev or a /models endpoint on a
cache miss, which would otherwise block the event loop.
- telegram: picker callback no longer toasts 'Model switched!' when the
switch callback raised (both mm: and mc: paths).
- tests: new tests/gateway/test_model_command_expensive_confirm.py pins
the typed-path gate (prompt, confirm-once, cancel, cheap-model no-op).
Rebased onto current main and re-ported across the restructured
surfaces: model flows now thread confirm_provider/base_url/api_key
through hermes_cli/model_setup_flows.py, the Discord picker lives in
plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py, and the web dashboard picker
applies chat-mode switches via config.set so the expensive-model
confirmation can ride the response.

Compare source.role_authorized with 'is True' so a MagicMock source
(test fixtures that build bare runners via object.__new__) doesn't
auto-truthy through the gate. The real SessionSource field is a bool,
so production behavior is unchanged. Fixes test_signal_in_allowlist_maps.
DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES was checked by the Discord adapter (_is_allowed_user)
but gateway._is_user_authorized only read DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, so
role-authorized users were rejected with "Unauthorized user" at the
gateway layer despite passing the adapter gate.
- Add role_authorized: bool = False to SessionSource
- Add role_authorized param to build_source (base.py)
- Compute _role_authorized in on_message when user passes via role not user ID
- Thread _role_authorized through _handle_message -> build_source
- Check source.role_authorized early in _is_user_authorized (run.py)
Fixes#33952
The voice inactivity timer (VOICE_TIMEOUT) only counted the bot's OWN audio
playback as activity. Under /voice off (text-only replies, but still in the
channel — leaving is /voice leave) nothing ever reset it, so every 300s the bot
disconnected and spammed "Left voice channel (inactivity timeout)."
The adapter now learns the live voice-reply mode via a getter wired from run.py
and skips the auto-disconnect while mode is off. It also resets the timer when a
user actually speaks to the bot, so an active listener (incl. voice-on
text-only sessions that never play audio) isn't dropped mid-conversation.
The shipped tri-state write_mode (on|off|approve) conflated two concepts —
whether writes are enabled and whether they're gated — so 'on' (writes flow
freely, gate inactive) read like 'gating is on'. Replace it with a single
clear boolean gate that defaults off.
memory.write_approval / skills.write_approval:
false (default) — write freely; the approval gate is off (pre-gate behaviour)
true — require approval: memory foreground prompts inline, memory
background-review + all skill writes stage for review
The old 'off = block all writes' mode is dropped; memory_enabled: false already
disables memory entirely, so a third 'block' state was redundant.
- tools/write_approval.py: get_write_mode/MODE_* → write_approval_enabled() bool;
evaluate_gate() loses the config-driven 'blocked' path (blocked now only comes
from an interactive user denial).
- tools/memory_tool.py, tools/skill_manager_tool.py: comment + behaviour follow.
- hermes_cli/config.py: memory/skills write_mode → write_approval (False);
_config_version 28→29 with a 28→29 migration that renames any persisted
write_mode (approve→true, on/off/unset→false) and drops the old key.
- slash commands: '/memory|/skills mode <on|off|approve>' → 'approval <on|off>'
('mode' kept as a back-compat alias); set_mode_fn callback now takes a bool.
- write_approval_commands.py, cli_commands_mixin.py, gateway/slash_commands.py,
commands.py: handlers + registry args/subcommands updated.
- docs + tests rewritten for the boolean model; added migration tests.
## What does this PR do?
The voice-during-active-run feature (#41984) changed
`_enrich_message_with_transcription` so that it returns a
`(enriched_text, successful_transcripts)` tuple instead of a bare string,
which lets callers echo the raw transcript back to the user. The signature
and every other return path were updated to match, but one branch was
missed: when a successfully transcribed clip arrives with the Discord
"empty content" placeholder as its caption, the method still returned the
prefix string on its own. All four call sites unpack the result with
`text, transcripts = await self._enrich_message_with_transcription(...)`,
so that path raised `ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)`
and the inbound voice message was dropped instead of reaching the agent.
This is a real user-facing path rather than a corner case: a Discord voice
note sent without a caption is delivered as exactly that placeholder, so a
captionless voice message that transcribed correctly would crash the
handler precisely when transcription had worked. The fix returns the
proper tuple from that branch so the placeholder is still stripped while
the transcripts continue to flow back to the caller for the echo.

## Type of Change
- [x] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] ✨ New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] 🔒 Security fix
- [ ] 📝 Documentation update
- [ ] ✅ Tests (adding or improving test coverage)
- [ ] ♻️ Refactor (no behavior change)
- [ ] 🎯 New skill (bundled or hub)
## Changes Made
- `gateway/run.py`: in `_enrich_message_with_transcription`, return
`(prefix, successful_transcripts)` instead of a bare `prefix` from the
empty-content-placeholder branch, so the contract matches the signature
and the other return paths.
- `tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py`: add
`test_enrich_message_with_transcription_returns_tuple_for_empty_content_placeholder`,
which drives a successful transcription with the placeholder caption and
asserts the placeholder is stripped while the transcript is still returned.
## How to Test
1. Check out `main` and run the new test — it fails with
`ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)`, reproducing the
crash a captionless Discord voice note would trigger.
2. Apply this change and re-run
`pytest tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py -q` — all tests pass.
3. `ruff check gateway/run.py tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py` and
`python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py gateway/run.py
tests/gateway/test_stt_config.py` both pass.

Adds memory.write_mode and skills.write_mode (on|off|approve), applied to
both foreground turns and the background self-improvement review fork — the
source of the unprompted 'wrong assumption' saves users reported.
- on (default): write freely, unchanged behaviour
- off: never write; the tool returns a clean disabled result
- approve: don't commit. Memory foreground writes prompt inline (small,
reviewable in a chat bubble); background memory writes and ALL skill writes
stage to a pending store instead (a SKILL.md is too large to review inline,
and a daemon thread can't block on a prompt)
Review staged writes from CLI or any messaging platform:
/memory pending|approve|reject|mode
/skills pending|approve|reject|diff|mode
Skill review respects the size asymmetry: inline you see a one-line gist;
the full unified diff stays out-of-band (/skills diff, dashboard, or the
staged JSON file).

write_approval_commands.py (shared CLI+gateway handlers). Gates wired at the
single entry points memory_tool() and skill_manage(), using the existing
write-origin ContextVar to distinguish foreground from background_review.
* fix(gateway): auto-start after container restart via planned-stop marker
On Docker (s6-overlay), the gateway runs as a dynamically-registered s6
service. When the container stops/restarts/upgrades, s6 sends the gateway
a plain SIGTERM. The shutdown path (_stop_impl) ended with an
unconditional _update_runtime_status("stopped"), persisting
gateway_state=stopped to the volume. container_boot.py reads that on the
next boot and only auto-starts gateways whose last state was "running"
(_AUTOSTART_STATES) — so after a routine `docker compose up
--force-recreate` the gateway stays down and messaging channels silently
go dark, with no error surfaced (issue #42675).
The codebase already distinguishes intentional stops from unexpected
signals via the planned-stop marker (write_planned_stop_marker /
consume_planned_stop_marker_for_self): `hermes gateway stop`,
systemd/launchd ExecStop, and Ctrl+C write a marker before signalling,
so the handler classifies them as planned. An unmarked SIGTERM
(container/s6 restart, OOM, bare kill) is signal-initiated.
This wires that existing classification through to the state persist,
rather than adding unreliable signal-source inference:
- run.py: GatewayRunner._signal_initiated_shutdown, set in
shutdown_signal_handler's unmarked-signal branch. In _stop_impl, a
signal-initiated (non-restart) teardown now persists "running" instead
of "stopped" — preserving the operator's run-intent and overwriting the
mid-shutdown "draining" marker so _AUTOSTART_STATES matches on reboot.
Operator stops and restarts persist "stopped" as before.
- service_manager.py: S6ServiceManager.stop() now writes the planned-stop
marker for the supervised PID (read from s6-svstat) before `s6-svc -d`,
so an in-container `hermes gateway stop` is correctly classified as
intentional (parity with the systemd/launchd/host stop paths, which
already mark). Best-effort: a marker-write failure falls back to the
safe signal-initiated path.
Tests: shutdown persist-decision table (signal→running, operator→stopped,
restart→stopped), s6 stop marker write + svstat PID parse + failure
tolerance. The signal→running and s6-marker tests fail without the
respective source change. Verified end-to-end against a container built
from this branch: an unmarked SIGTERM to the live gateway leaves
gateway_state=running (shutdown-context log confirms signal path);
existing real container-restart suite still green.
* docs(docker): clarify gateway autostart distinguishes operator-stop from container-kill
The per-profile-supervision section described the autostart-across-restart
contract as "running gateways come back, stopped stay stopped" without
spelling out what records 'stopped'. That contract was the source of
#42675 confusion: users expected a restart to bring the gateway back and
it didn't. With the write-side fix, only an explicit `hermes gateway stop`
records 'stopped'; container/s6 restart SIGTERMs (incl. image upgrades and
unexpected exits) leave the state 'running' so the gateway auto-starts.
Make that distinction explicit in both the multi-profile and
per-profile-supervision sections.
* test(docker): real-restart autostart E2E for #42675
Adds test_live_gateway_autostarts_after_real_restart_without_manual_state_stamp:
a live s6-supervised gateway is killed by an actual `docker restart`
SIGTERM (no manual gateway_state stamp, no planned-stop marker) and must
auto-start on the next boot. Exercises the WRITE side of the fix that the
existing stamp-based tests bypass.
Verified to FAIL against an origin/main image (reconciler logs
prior_state=stopped action=registered — the #42675 bug) and PASS against
the fixed image (prior_state=running action=started).
The markdown code-block change rendered args['command'] in full in both
verbose AND non-verbose (all/new) modes, so a long or multi-line terminal
command bypassed the tool_preview_length cap (default 40) and rendered as
a huge block. Non-verbose now collapses to a single line capped at the
preview length while keeping the fence; verbose keeps the full command.
image_generate returns its artifact as JSON ({"image": "/abs/path.png"})
with no MEDIA: tag, so the gateway auto-append path (which only recognized
text_to_speech MEDIA: tags) never delivered it — image delivery silently
depended on the model restating the path in its reply. Add image_generate to
the producer allowlist and extract the local path from its JSON result
(host_image > image > agent_visible_image), reusing the existing
extension-anchored matcher and history-dedupe so remote URLs, unknown
extensions, failures, and already-sent paths are rejected.
Closes the remaining unfixed path from #19105.
Terminal tool progress on markdown-capable gateways (Telegram, Slack,
Discord, WhatsApp, Matrix, Weixin, Feishu) renders the full command in a
fenced code block again, in all/new AND verbose modes — gated on the
adapter's supports_code_blocks capability. Plain-text platforms keep the
short truncated preview.
No language tag is emitted: Slack mrkdwn renders a '```bash' fence with
'bash' as a literal first code line, so a bare '```' fence is used, which
renders correctly on every platform that supports blocks.
This restores the #41215 feature (removed in #41950 due to the command
showing in group chats) as the default. For a personal assistant the
command display is desired; the group-chat concern is a preference, not a
vulnerability.
When edit_message(finalize=True) fails with a MarkdownV2 parse error,
the silent fallback previously sent raw content with escape sequences.
Now it logs the error and strips markdown formatting via _strip_mdv2()
for clean plain-text fallback.
Also fixes _strip_mdv2 to handle standard markdown bold (\*\*text\*\*)
before MarkdownV2 bold (\*text\*), preventing half-stripped asterisks.
Refs: #41955, #41732
When a platform adapter sets REQUIRES_EDIT_FINALIZE=True (e.g.
TelegramAdapter), tool progress edits now pass finalize=True so
format_message() is applied before sending to the platform.
Previously, the initial send() formatted the message correctly via
MarkdownV2, but subsequent edit_message() calls skipped formatting
(finalize=False), causing raw markdown (e.g. triple backticks for
bash code blocks) to render as plain text on Telegram.
Refs: #41955, #41732
#41215 rendered a terminal tool call as a native ```bash fenced block on
markdown platforms (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, and others), showing the full
command with no truncation, in both all/new and verbose modes. That posted
complete shell commands (heredocs, internal paths, destructive commands) into
the chat before the final answer, visible to everyone in it.
This restores the prior behavior: terminal progress shows the short, truncated
preview line that every other tool already uses, capped at tool_preview_length.
The supports_code_blocks capability flag is left in place for future use.
CLI/TUI rendering is a separate path and was unaffected.
Adds a regression test asserting terminal progress renders as a truncated
preview, not a fenced bash block, even on a markdown-capable gateway.
Fixes#41955
When the agent has its own SessionDB reference (_session_db is not None),
_flush_messages_to_session_db() persists user messages to SQLite during the
agent run. Two gateway fallback paths also wrote the same user message
without skip_db=True, creating duplicate entries in state.db:
1. agent_failed_early path (transient 429/timeout failures)
2. not-new-messages path (history_offset >= len(messages) edge case)
Move agent_persisted flag definition to before the if/elif/else block so
all paths can use it, and pass skip_db=agent_persisted to every fallback
append_to_transcript() call.
Fixes#42039
Lift the 4 inbound-message authorization methods out of GatewayRunner into
gateway/authz_mixin.py:GatewayAuthorizationMixin. Behavior-neutral; gateway/run.py
16200 -> 15812 LOC.
Methods moved (~389 LOC): _is_user_authorized, _get_unauthorized_dm_behavior,
_adapter_dm_policy, _adapter_enforces_own_access_policy. The two adapter-policy
helpers are private to _is_user_authorized, so the cluster is fully self-contained
(zero outside-cluster self.method calls after the lift). All self.* calls resolve
unchanged via the MRO (GatewayRunner(GatewayAuthorizationMixin, ...)).
Import split: 6 neutral deps (os, Optional, Platform, SessionSource, the two
whatsapp_identity helpers) at the mixin module top; the module-level logger is
imported lazily inside _is_user_authorized (from gateway.run import logger) so
the mixin never imports gateway.run at module scope -> no cycle. The lazy import
preserves the exact logger name (gateway.run) so log records are unchanged.
_evict_cached_agent (the chokepoint for /new, /model, /undo, session
resets — 17 call sites) only popped the cache entry, dropping the
AIAgent reference without releasing its httpx client pool. AIAgent
holds reference cycles (callbacks, tool state) so CPython refcounting
does not free the client promptly; under steady gateway traffic the
held sockets + buffers accumulate and RSS climbs (the leak class behind
Now the chokepoint pops AND schedules a soft release_clients() on a
daemon thread (mirrors the cap-enforcer / idle-sweeper). Soft release
frees the client pool + per-turn child subagents but preserves the
session's terminal sandbox / browser / bg processes for resumption.
Mid-turn agents are skipped so a running request is never torn down.
Also fixes the no-lock branch which previously never popped at all.
Long-lived gateways under heavy cron/build workloads grow steadily (~18 MB/hr
post-phantom-dispatch-fix) and eventually need a restart-or-OOM. Four retention
sites, all confirmed live on current main:
1. _evict_cached_agent() (/model, /reasoning, codex-runtime, /undo, etc.) popped
the cache entry without releasing the agent's OpenAI client, httpx transport,
SSL context, or conversation history. Only /new cleaned up first. Now releases
clients on a daemon thread, matching _enforce_agent_cache_cap.
2. _release_evicted_agent_soft() now clears _session_messages after
release_clients() — tool outputs (file reads, terminal output, search results)
can be tens of MB per 100+-tool-call session; the list is rebuilt from
persisted session JSON on resume, so dropping it on soft eviction is safe.
3. The session-expiry watcher (permanent finalization) now drops the session's
per-session control dicts (_session_model_overrides, _session_reasoning_overrides,
_pending_approvals, _update_prompt_pending, _pending_model_notes). These leaked
one entry per session per gateway lifetime. NOTE: this is the session-finalize
path, NOT idle agent-cache eviction — an idle-evicted session is still alive and
rebuilds its agent from these overrides, so pruning them there would silently
reset a user's /model choice.
4. _tool_defs_cache is now bounded (_TOOL_DEFS_CACHE_MAX=8) with oldest-first
eviction instead of growing unboundedly across the distinct toolset/config
fingerprints a gateway sees over its lifetime.
Salvaged from #25318 by Michael Steuer (@mssteuer); fix 3 redirected from the
idle-sweep to the session-finalize lifecycle, magic number 8 lifted to a named
constant, test ported.

Salvaged from #6600 (@kristianvast) — re-scoped to the voice half only and
rebased onto current main. The cascading-interrupt hang half of the original
PR landed independently in dd0d1222a, so this carries ONLY Problem 1.
When a voice/audio message arrives while the agent is busy on the same
session, it hit the interrupt path with empty text because STT only ran after
the running-agent guard — the voice was effectively lost. Now we transcribe
audio BEFORE signaling the agent (and on the fresh-message path), echo the raw
transcript back to the user (🎙️), and _enrich_message_with_transcription
returns (text, transcripts) so callers can echo. A new
_dequeue_pending_with_transcription drives the post-agent drain the same way.
Reapplied onto _prepare_inbound_message_text (inbound enrichment was extracted
from the inline dispatch block since the original PR).

The in-session slash commands (/model, /reset, /usage, /compress, /voice, ...)
— 42 _handle_*_command handlers, ~3,200 LOC — move out of gateway/run.py into a
mixin GatewayRunner inherits. self._handle_*_command dispatch + all test
references resolve unchanged via the MRO.
Neutral deps (MessageEvent, EphemeralReply, Platform, t, cfg_get, atomic_*_write,
account-usage helpers, stdlib) imported at the mixin top level. The ~10 run.py-
internal helpers (_hermes_home, _load_gateway_config, _resolve_gateway_model,
_AGENT_PENDING_SENTINEL, ...) imported lazily inside the handlers that need them
to avoid an import cycle.
gateway/run.py 19157 -> 15870 LOC; GatewayRunner direct methods 214 -> 172.
Behavior-neutral: voice/update/model/compress command test suites pass; all 42
resolve to the mixin via MRO.
When --replace force-kills an unresponsive old gateway, SIGKILL can fail
to reap it (uninterruptible sleep, zombie-reaping parent, etc.). The old
code unconditionally cleared the PID file and scoped locks and started a
fresh instance anyway, leaving two live gateways fighting over the same
bot token — a duplicate-gateway failure mode of #19471.
Re-verify the process is actually gone (via the Windows-safe _pid_exists
helper) after the force-kill; if it still appears alive, clear the
takeover marker and abort the replacement instead of duplicating.

gateway/run.py is the largest god file (20k LOC, GatewayRunner with 220
methods). This lifts the cohesive kanban-watcher cluster — _kanban_notifier_watcher,
_kanban_dispatcher_watcher, _kanban_advance/unsub/rewind, _deliver_kanban_artifacts
(~1,035 LOC, 6 methods) — into gateway/kanban_watchers.py as a mixin that
GatewayRunner inherits.
Mixin (not free functions) because the methods use only self state: inheriting
keeps every self._kanban_* call site working unchanged via the MRO, making this
a behavior-neutral move. The methods' lazy imports (_kb, _decomp, _load_config,
Platform) travel with them; the mixin needs only stdlib + a matching
logging.getLogger('gateway.run').
run.py 20187 -> 19157 LOC; GatewayRunner direct methods 220 -> 214.
Behavior-neutral: gateway test suite 6582 passed / 0 failed; start() still wires
both watchers via self._kanban_*; MRO resolves all 6 to the mixin. One test
(corrupt-board quarantine retry) keyed its time-travel mock on the caller's
filename being gateway/run.py — updated to also accept gateway/kanban_watchers.py.
Establishes the mixin-extraction pattern for further GatewayRunner decomposition
(the 2406-LOC _run_agent and 1164-LOC _handle_message remain, but their callback
closures need a context-object redesign — deferred).
