Users who inspect ~/.hermes/sessions/sessions.json see only gateway entries
(e.g. agent:main:whatsapp:dm:...) and mistake it for the session index that
hermes sessions list / /sessions read — which is actually state.db. Issue
#49361 reported CLI sessions as 'invisible' on this premise.
- gateway/session.py: write a self-documenting _README sentinel at the top of
sessions.json explaining it's the gateway routing index and that ALL sessions
(CLI/TUI/gateway) live in state.db; skip _-prefixed keys on load so the
sentinel never round-trips into a SessionEntry.
- Harden every sessions.json reader against the sentinel: mcp_serve loader,
gateway/mirror.py, gateway/channel_directory.py all skip _-prefixed keys.
- docs/user-guide/sessions.md: warning callout naming the exact symptom.
- tests: assert prune ignores metadata sentinels; add round-trip coverage.
Component button interactions (approve/deny, slash confirm, model
picker, clarify) were not checking the pairing store for authorization.
Users approved via `hermes pairing approve` could send messages and use
slash commands (which go through the gateway authz_mixin), but button
clicks were rejected because `_component_check_auth` only checked
env-var allowlists (DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS, GATEWAY_ALLOW_ALL_USERS,
etc.) and not the pairing store.
This was a regression from commit f6f363662 which intentionally made
component auth fail-closed when no allowlist is set (security fix for
GHSA-mc26-p6fw-7pp6), but did not account for pairing-based auth.
Fix: add a `PairingStore.is_approved("discord", uid)` check to
`_component_check_auth`, mirroring `authz_mixin._check_authorization`.
The pairing store check runs after all allowlist checks, preserving the
fail-closed behavior for non-paired, non-allowed users.
Fixes#50627
Regression coverage for the synthetic-assistant close: interrupt after a
successful tool must persist an assistant tail (placeholder when no
delivered text), real delivered text is preserved, and non-interrupted
or non-tool tails are left untouched.
Asserts resolve_runtime_provider honors target_model over the stale
persisted model.default when choosing the Bedrock dual-path api_mode:
Claude target -> anthropic_messages, Nova target -> bedrock_converse.
Both fail without the #49095 fix.
The 30-slot default could not fit Hermes's ~50 built-in commands, so
every skill command (and 20 built-ins) were silently dropped from the
Telegram \`/\` menu by default — they only worked when typed manually.
Raising the default to 60 keeps all built-ins plus common skill commands
visible out of the box while staying under Telegram's ~4KB payload limit.
Users can still tune it via platforms.telegram.extra.command_menu.
Adds a configurable Telegram BotCommand menu cap and priority list via
platforms.telegram.extra.command_menu (max_commands clamped 1..100;
priority_mode prepend|append|replace). Default cap stays 30; hidden
commands remain invokable when typed and /commands lists the full set.
Salvaged from PR #42021. Cherry-picked onto current main; the original
edited gateway/platforms/telegram.py, now relocated to
plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py.
Selective --clone / --clone-from / --clone-config copied .env but not
auth.json, silently dropping the credential pool — including OAuth tokens
(Anthropic `claude /login`, Codex, xAI) that never land in .env. A profile
cloned from an OAuth-authenticated default therefore resolved a different
provider (or none) than the source under provider: auto. --clone-all already
carried auth.json via the full copytree; only the selective path missed it.
Add auth.json to _CLONE_CONFIG_FILES and tighten it to 0o600 after copy,
matching .env semantics.
On Windows, start_server() served uvicorn via a bare asyncio.run(_serve()),
which uses the default ProactorEventLoop. uvicorn's socket-serving stack
assumes a SelectorEventLoop on win32 (uvicorn/loops/asyncio.py forces it, and
uvicorn.Server.run threads config.get_loop_factory() into its runner for
exactly this reason). Driving uvicorn on the proactor loop makes
server.startup() bind a socket that never accepts: the dashboard and desktop
backend print "Skipping web UI build" then hang forever with the port
LISTENING but no TCP handshake completing.
Fix is win32-scoped to keep the blast radius minimal: POSIX keeps the exact
asyncio.run(_serve()) it had (its default loop is already a SelectorEventLoop /
uvloop, which is what uvicorn serves on). Only on Windows do we mirror
uvicorn.Server.run and run on the loop factory uvicorn picks, with a fallback
to WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy for uvicorn < 0.36.
Fixes hermes dashboard and hermes desktop (the Electron app spawns a
hermes dashboard backend). The gateway symptom in the report has a separate
root cause (no uvicorn) and is not addressed here.
uperLu's #50958 renamed plugins/cron → plugins/cron_providers but left
two test files patching the now-gone plugins.cron.chronos.verify path,
which would fail collection. Point them at plugins.cron_providers.*.
Add uperLu to release.py AUTHOR_MAP.
The dashboard Profiles view showed "Gateway stopped" for a gateway that
is in fact running — while the sidebar status strip and `hermes gateway
status` (CLI) both correctly showed it running. Reported on v0.17.0
running the gateway + dashboard in one Docker container.
Root cause: three liveness surfaces with three detection strengths, all
reading the same `gateway.pid`:
- `hermes gateway status` -> find_gateway_pids() (process-table scan)
- sidebar /api/status -> get_running_pid() + gateway_state.json PID
fallback + health-URL probe
- Profiles view -> _check_gateway_running() = get_running_pid()
ONLY, no fallback
`get_running_pid()` short-circuits to None the moment the runtime lock
(`gateway.lock`) doesn't register as held by the *calling* process —
which is always true when the reader is a separate process from the
gateway (the dashboard is its own s6 service in the container), and also
for any launch-service-managed gateway that left a fresh
`gateway_state.json` but no live PID file. So the Profiles view alone
reported the live gateway as stopped.
Fix: give _check_gateway_running the same fallback the sidebar already
has — after the pid-file/lock check misses, validate the PID recorded in
that profile's gateway_state.json against the live process table via the
existing get_runtime_status_running_pid(). read_runtime_status() gains an
optional path arg so a profile's state file can be read without mutating
the process-global HERMES_HOME (preserving the contextvar-based profile
isolation the dashboard relies on). Backward compatible: every existing
caller passes no argument.
Tests: a regression test that fails pre-fix (live gateway, lock check
returns None -> must still report running) and a guard test that a
'stopped' state file is never reported running even with a live PID.
The contributor PR stamped runner._exit_code=78 on non-retryable startup
errors, but start_gateway()'s clean-exit branch returned True before the
SystemExit(runner.exit_code) site, so main() exited 0. The s6 finish
script's [ "$1" = "78" ] check never matched and s6 crash-looped the
gateway anyway — the fix was dead as shipped (#51228).
Honor runner.exit_code in the clean-exit branch: raise SystemExit(code)
when set, else return True (normal /restart clean exit). Add a
start_gateway()-level test that asserts process-level SystemExit(78)
propagation — the gap the PR's object-level test missed — plus exit_code
on the existing _CleanExitRunner mocks.
Profiles without their own messaging token inherit the default
profile's token via os.getenv, hit a token collision, and exit with
startup_failed. s6 restarts them immediately, creating ~30MB tirith
sandbox dirs in /tmp each cycle — filling the disk in hours (#51228).
Changes:
- gateway/restart.py: add GATEWAY_FATAL_CONFIG_EXIT_CODE = 78
- gateway/run.py: set exit_code=78 on non-retryable startup errors
(token collision, no platforms)
- hermes_cli/service_manager.py: add _render_finish_script() that
translates exit 78 → exit 125 (s6 permanent failure)
- hermes_cli/container_boot.py: write finish script alongside run
script during profile registration
The s6 finish script pattern follows docker/s6-rc.d/dashboard/finish.
Closes#51228
A naive ISO timestamp (e.g. 2026-06-22T20:07:00) was anchored to the
server's local timezone via dt.astimezone(), but the due-check
(get_due_jobs -> _hermes_now()) runs in the CONFIGURED Hermes timezone.
When the two diverge (cloud host on UTC with a different timezone: set,
or vice-versa) the stored instant lands hours off the user's wall-clock
intent, so one-shots never become due and recurring jobs fire at the
wrong time. The ticker stays healthy (heartbeat + success markers fresh)
because every tick finds nothing due, matching the silent no-fire in #51021.
Anchor naive timestamps to _hermes_now().tzinfo so '20:07' means 20:07 on
the same clock the scheduler checks against. The legacy _ensure_aware path
still treats already-stored naive values as server-local for back-compat.
Fixes#51021
The cron ticker only runs inside the gateway (_start_cron_ticker); there
is no standalone cron daemon. When the gateway isn't running, next_run_at
passes but jobs never fire and last_run_at stays null — and manual
'hermes cron run' (which bypasses the ticker) appears to work, masking
the real cause. This is the most common cron support report (#51038).
cron list already warned; extend the same warning to cron create (the
moment the user is most likely to hit this) via a shared helper, and add
a pointer to 'hermes cron status'. Silent when a gateway is running, so
the gateway /cron path is unaffected.
Launching Hermes from a directory that ships its own top-level package with a
Hermes-internal name (utils/, proxy/, ui/) crashed the gateway/TUI child with
an ImportError (exit 1, crash loop): from utils import atomic_replace resolved
to the user's package.
tui_gateway/entry.py already stripped the relative cwd forms ('' / '.'), but
the launch dir also reaches sys.path as its own ABSOLUTE path (venv activation
or a project that adds itself to PYTHONPATH), which the strip missed and which
sat ahead of the Hermes root.
Centralize a hardened guard in hermes_bootstrap.harden_import_path(): drop the
relative forms AND force the Hermes source root to the front even when an
absolute cwd entry is present. Wire it into tui_gateway/entry.py and
acp_adapter/entry.py (both spawn into arbitrary cwds); hermes_cli/main.py and
gateway/run.py already insert the root at front. gatewayClient.ts now also
exports HERMES_PYTHON_SRC_ROOT for defense in depth.
Builds on @wgu9's runtime-tracking fix: now that find_gateway_pids() can
see a no-supervisor `gateway restart` runtime, have stop_profile_gateway()
fall back to an orphan-aware, profile-scoped reap (SIGTERM then SIGKILL)
when the pidfile/runtime record is missing or stale. Closes the duplicate-
accumulation path in #51325 — a follow-up restart now kills the prior
orphan instead of stacking another listener on :8644. Gated on
not supports_systemd_services() so a transient `gateway restart` argv on
supervised hosts is never killed.
Also adds the AUTHOR_MAP entry for the salvaged contributor.
atomic_yaml_write (and two sibling config writers) called yaml.dump
without allow_unicode=True. The default personalities shipped in cli.py
contain emoji/kaomoji, so PyYAML escaped astral-plane chars as 8-digit
\\UXXXXXXXX sequences inside multi-line double-quoted strings wrapped
with \\ line-continuations. Stricter/non-PyYAML parsers, editors, and
hand-edits break that structure into unclosed quotes, failing the whole
config parse -> silent fallback to defaults -> custom_providers lost.
Add allow_unicode=True to the canonical writer plus tui_gateway/server.py
and the telegram adapter's atomic config write so config is written as
readable UTF-8 with no escape/fold artifacts.
Fixes#51356
deliver=origin (or omitted) from a TUI or classic-CLI session produces a
job with origin=null, because those sessions never populate the
HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM/CHAT_ID context vars that _origin_from_env reads.
The scheduler then resolves no delivery target and skips delivery — the
job runs and saves output to last_output, but nothing reaches the user
and they only find out by polling cronjob(action='list') (#51568).
This is by design (local sessions have no live-delivery channel), so the
fix surfaces it instead of silently dropping the intent:
- cronjob create now appends an informational notice to its result when
a created job resolves to zero delivery targets and the user did not
explicitly ask for deliver='local'. The check uses the scheduler's own
_resolve_delivery_targets so it accounts for origin, home channels,
'all', and explicit platform targets — no false positives.
- PLATFORM_HINTS gains a 'tui' entry (the TUI had none) and the 'cli'
hint now states that cron jobs from these sessions are local-only and
that deliver must target a gateway-connected platform to notify the
user. This stops the agent promising a delivery that never happens.
No scheduler/delivery behavior change; no new env var; cron isolation
invariant untouched.
Adds the #51579 regression test the issue asked for: run the real
docker_config_migrate.py boot path twice (host-reboot scenario under
--restart unless-stopped) and assert $HERMES_HOME/.env survives
byte-for-byte and the second boot is a no-op (no re-migration, no new
backup). Exercises real migrate_config + real file I/O via subprocess.
spectrum-ts routes stream telemetry through @photon-ai/otel's createLogger,
which sends severity>=ERROR to console.error and WARN/INFO to console.log.
The two lines the health monitor keys off land on different channels:
log.error("stream persistently failing") -> console.error (caught), but
log.warn("stream interrupted; reconnecting") -> console.log (was missed).
The original interception patched console.error only, so the recovering->
degraded escalation counter never saw the interrupt bursts that are the
primary silent-inbound symptom. Verified live against spectrum-ts 3.1.0 +
@photon-ai/otel: 3 real log.warn('stream interrupted') calls now escalate
to degraded -> process.exit(75) -> adapter reconnect.
Adds a shared classifyStreamLog() fed by both console.error and console.log,
plus a regression test asserting both channels are intercepted.
Source-level regression guard (the script only runs on Windows, so there's no
runner on Linux CI). Asserts Resolve-AvailablePythonVersion exists, that
Install-Venv re-resolves the interpreter before the venv-creation line, and
that Test-Python and the resolver share the single $PythonFallbackVersions
constant so detection and venv creation can't drift apart again.
_ensure_uv_for_termux only checked resolve_uv() (the managed
$HERMES_HOME/bin/uv) before falling back to pip, so a uv installed via
`pkg install uv` lives on PATH but is invisible to the helper. Combined
with the cherry-picked wheel-only fallback, a Termux user with no managed
uv still hit `pip install uv`, which has no Android wheel and tried to
source-build the Rust crate, OOM-killing low-memory devices.
Probe shutil.which("uv") right after the Termux guard and reuse it before
pip. Add a regression test that keeps resolve_uv() returning None while a
uv exists on PATH and asserts pip is never invoked.
Register a per-instance wakeUrl and forward it to the connector at
self-provision so a suspended gateway can be poked awake when buffered
work arrives (pairs with the connector-side WakePoker).
- relay_wake_url() resolver (env GATEWAY_RELAY_WAKE_URL, then
gateway.relay_wake_url in config.yaml), mirroring relay_instance_id()
- thread wake_url through _post_provision (adds wakeUrl to the body only
when set) + self_provision_relay (resolve, forward, log)
- hermes gateway enroll --wake-url <url> persists GATEWAY_RELAY_WAKE_URL
- document the §5.2 wake poke in relay-connector-contract.md §3.3
- tests: relay_wake_url resolution (env/config/absent), provision
forwarding, body-only-when-set (6 new; 130 relay tests pass)
The actual reconnect+drain on wake is Unit B's loop; this unit only
wires the wake SIGNAL. Opt-in: absent wakeUrl => connector never pokes.
The gateway half of the going-idle/buffered-flip primitive (scale-to-zero
PRIMITIVE, not the behaviour). Integrates with the EXISTING drain transition:
- ws_transport: `go_idle()` sends `going_idle` + awaits the connector's
`going_idle_ack` (connector-authoritative flip-then-ack, Q-5.3c — stays
serving until the ack so nothing is lost in the flip window); acks a buffered
inbound (bufferId present) via `inbound_ack` after the handler runs
(drain-without-dup on the delivery leg); NET-NEW reconnect loop re-dials +
re-handshakes after an unexpected close (off by default, on in production).
- adapter: emits `going_idle` from its existing `disconnect()` drain seam before
tearing down the socket; best-effort + guarded (never blocks shutdown).
- transport Protocol + contract doc §3.2 document the 3 new frames.
+6 relay tests (124 pass). NOT in scope: the autonomous idle timer / machine
suspend / NAS health model (deferred behaviour). Ben's relay-adapter solo lane.
* fix(windows): harden gateway scheduled task
* fix(windows): launch gateway scheduled task via console-less wscript
The Scheduled Task ran the gateway through cmd.exe, which allocates a
console. During logon Windows broadcasts CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT to console
process groups, reaping cmd.exe and the half-initialized gateway with
STATUS_CONTROL_C_EXIT (0xC000013A) - which Task Scheduler treats as a
user cancel, so RestartOnFailure never fires and the gateway vanishes on
every reboot (issue #45599 root cause #1).
Add a console-less .vbs launcher (wscript.exe -> pythonw.exe, both
GUI-subsystem) mirroring the gateway.cmd env + argv, and point the task
action at it. The .cmd stays for the Startup-folder fallback and /Run.

When _auto_create_thread() creates a thread from a user message via
message.create_thread(), Discord fires a second MESSAGE_CREATE event
for the 'thread starter message'. That starter message carries
message.id == thread.id and may arrive with type=default instead of
type=21 (thread_starter_message), so the existing type filter in
on_message does not catch it — triggering a second call into
_handle_message and thus a second agent run and response.
Fix: after _auto_create_thread succeeds and returns a thread, pre-seed
the dedup cache with str(thread.id) via self._dedup.is_duplicate().
The dedup cache is the same TTL-based MessageDeduplicator that already
guards against Discord RESUME event replays. Calling is_duplicate()
marks the ID as seen; when the duplicate thread-starter MESSAGE_CREATE
arrives, on_message's guard returns True and the event is dropped.
This is a minimal, targeted fix:
- No new state: reuses the existing _dedup instance
- No timing/race: the pre-seed happens synchronously inside the async
_handle_message, before the thread-starter event can be dispatched
- Scoped: only fires when auto-threading is enabled AND thread creation
succeeds (thread object is not None)
Also adds tests in tests/gateway/test_discord_double_dispatch.py
covering the pre-seed behaviour, failure modes (thread creation fails,
auto-thread disabled), and dedup cache integrity.
Closes#51057
_session_task_is_stale() failed to detect a stale session lock when the owner
task completed and cleaned _session_tasks (del in _process_message_background's
finally) but _active_sessions was NOT released because _release_session_guard
skipped on a guard mismatch (a concurrent reset/new command or drain handoff
swapped _active_sessions[key] to a different guard). With no owner task left to
inspect, _session_task_is_stale reported 'not stale', the orphaned guard was
never healed, and the session deadlocked permanently — later messages received
but never dispatched.
Reorder the finally cleanup to release-then-conditional-delete: release the
guard first, then drop the _session_tasks entry ONLY if the guard was actually
released (session_key no longer in _active_sessions). On a guard mismatch the
done-task entry survives, so the on-entry self-heal (_session_task_is_stale ->
_heal_stale_session_lock) detects the stale lock and clears it on the next
inbound message.
Extracted the cleanup into a callable _cleanup_finished_session_task() helper so
the regression test drives the REAL production code path rather than a copy of
its logic (the original test inlined the fixed logic and passed regardless of
the production order — mutation-verified the rewritten tests now fail on the
buggy del-first order). Added a positive-path test (guard matches -> release +
delete) so both branches are pinned.

Open-ended skill learning across every surface. /learn <free text> takes a
description of any source — a directory, a URL, the workflow you just walked
the agent through, or pasted notes — and the live agent gathers it with the
tools it already has (read_file/search_files, web_extract, the conversation,
the pasted text), then authors a SKILL.md via skill_manage following the
house authoring standards (<=60-char description, the standard section order,
Hermes-tool framing, no invented commands).
No engine, no model-tool footprint, works on any terminal backend (local,
Docker, remote): /learn builds a standards-guided prompt and hands it to the
agent as a normal turn.
- agent/learn_prompt.py: shared standards-guided prompt builder
- /learn registry entry (both surfaces) + CLI handler (inject onto input
queue) + gateway handler (rewrite turn, fall through, /blueprint pattern)
- tui_gateway command.dispatch returns a send directive -> TUI + dashboard chat
- dashboard Skills page 'Learn a skill' panel (dir + URL + open-ended text)
composes a /learn request and runs it in chat
- docs (slash-commands ref + skills feature page), 11 targeted tests
Inspired by OpenAI Codex's Record & Replay and the /learn concept from #47234
(dir-distillation engine); reworked to be open-ended and engine-free per
review.
PTB's HTTPXRequest builds its httpx.AsyncClient with
`limits = httpx.Limits(max_connections=connection_pool_size)` and no
keepalive tuning, so httpx's default keepalive_expiry=5.0 applies. Behind
an HTTP proxy (Cloudflare Warp etc.) a peer-initiated FIN can sit in
CLOSE_WAIT longer than that, leaking fds in the general request pool
(_request[1], which routes bot.send_message/set_my_commands) — the pool
_drain_polling_connections never resets. Telegram was the lone holdout
adapter not using the shared #18451 CLOSE_WAIT helper.
Wire gateway.platforms._http_client_limits.platform_httpx_limits() into
the httpx client across ALL THREE request-construction branches —
fallback-transport, proxy, and plain — via httpx_kwargs["limits"], which
PTB spreads last into its client kwargs so our tuned limits win. PTB's
connection_pool_size (max_connections) is preserved; only keepalive
behaviour is tightened (max_keepalive_connections + keepalive_expiry<5.0).
The fix is macOS-import-safe: no Linux-only socket TCP_KEEPIDLE/INTVL/CNT
constants at module scope (unlike the broken candidate which crashed on
import on the reporter's OS), and it patches the actual proxy path the
repro hits rather than TelegramFallbackTransport, which the proxy repro
never instantiates.
Adds a mutation-survivable behavior-contract test asserting every
HTTPXRequest built by connect() receives httpx_kwargs["limits"] with
keepalive_expiry < httpx's 5.0 default, across both the proxy and plain
branches. Reverting the limits wiring fails the test.

When a session rotates id on compression, _sync_session_key_after_compress()
re-anchored the session_key, approval-notify routing, yolo state, and slash
worker — but never moved the active-session lease, which stayed keyed to the
pre-compression id. And _find_live_session_by_key() matched live sessions on
the stale session_key, not the live agent's current agent.session_id. After
compression a resume/create path failed to recognize the existing live agent
and could build a SECOND live agent against the same DB continuation -> forked
lineage / cross-session message mixing.
- active_sessions.transfer_active_session(): move a lease in place to the new
id under the exclusive file lock (no slot drop).
- gateway _transfer_active_session_slot(): call it inside
_sync_session_key_after_compress(); on the rare fallback (entry pruned)
RESERVE the new slot before releasing the old lease (reserve-before-release),
so a concurrent gateway at the session cap cannot grab the freed slot in a
release-then-reacquire window and leave this session with no lease; if the
reserve fails, keep the existing lease (review fix).
- _session_lookup_key(): make live-session lookup authoritative on
agent.session_id, wired into all stale-session_key consumers
(_find_live_session_by_key, _session_live_item, _live_session_payload) —
fixes the whole lookup class.

/reload-mcp -> shutdown_mcp_servers -> _kill_orphaned_mcp_children(include_active=True)
-> _send_signal -> killpg(pgid, SIGTERM). When a tracked MCP stdio child shares
the gateway's OWN process group, killpg delivers SIGTERM to the gateway itself,
firing its SIGTERM handler -> os._exit(0): /reload-mcp crashes the gateway.
Pre-compute the gateway's own pgid (os.getpgrp(), None on Windows/restricted)
and, in _send_signal, skip killpg when pgid == own pgid, falling through to the
per-pid os.kill path so the child is still reaped without self-signaling.
Adds a regression test (folded in) that pins the guard: with a tracked pgid
equal to the gateway's own pgid, killpg is never called for that pgid and the
per-pid kill fallback is used. Mutation-checked.

Map Hermes xhigh→max to unlock DeepSeek V4's 'Max thinking' tier
through Ollama Cloud's OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions endpoint.
low/medium/high pass through unchanged; disabled/none suppress
reasoning entirely.
Empirically confirmed: reasoning_effort:max produces ~2.5× more
thinking tokens than high on deepseek-v4-pro:cloud (1576 vs 642).
Parity with the classic CLI status bar's ⛓ indicator (PR #51441). The
Ink TUI status bar now shows ⛓ N for live background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches + background single delegations).
- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage() embeds active_subagents from
tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the same registry the CLI
reads — onto the existing per-update usage payload, guarded so a
raising active_count() leaves the field off without breaking usage.
- ui-tui appChrome: new 'subagents' status segment (breakpoint w>=92,
slots between bg and cost in the shed-order), renders ⛓ N from
usage.active_subagents.
- Usage / SessionUsageResponse types gain active_subagents?.
Distinct from the turn-scoped SpawnHud / /agents overlay, which mirror
live in-turn subagent.* events; this is the persistent registry count.
By default `hermes slack manifest` opts the app into Slack's AI Assistant
container (assistant_view feature + assistant:write scope +
assistant_thread_* events). Slack then renders DMs as the right-hand
Assistant split-pane, where every exchange is a thread and bare slash
commands (/help, /new, ...) are not delivered as normal command events —
they only work when the bot is @mentioned. There was no way to opt out
short of hand-editing the generated JSON.
Add --no-assistant to emit a flat-DM manifest that omits those three
pieces, so DMs render as a normal chat and slash commands dispatch
inline. The regular messaging surface (Messages tab, slash commands,
Socket Mode, channel + DM scopes/events) is preserved in both modes.
Default behaviour is unchanged (assistant mode still on).
Tests: cover both manifest modes and the argparse wiring.
The classic prompt_toolkit status bar already shows two background
indicators: ▶ N (/background agent threads) and ⚙ N (shell processes
spawned by terminal(background=true)). Background/async subagents
(delegate_task batches and background single delegations) had no
indicator despite being long-running work the user should be able to
see at a glance.
Add a third indicator ⛓ N sourced from
tools.async_delegation.active_count() — the count of delegations still
in the 'running' state. Renders in the plain-text builder and the
styled-fragment builder across the same width tiers as the other two
(omitted on the narrow <52 tier), guarded so a raising active_count()
leaves the snapshot at 0.
Adds a per-platform display.reasoning_style setting (code | blockquote |
subtext) controlling how the show_reasoning summary renders on the gateway.
Discord defaults to "subtext" (-# small grey metadata text); every other
platform keeps the fenced code block. Resolves through the existing
display.platforms.<platform>.reasoning_style override chain.
Replace the old "skips download when a system browser exists" assertions with
tests for the new behavior:
- no PATH scan for browser command names, and the "use the system browser" path
is gone;
- find_system_browser consults only an explicit AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH
override (which still skips the bundled download);
- strip_snap_browser_override runs on both install paths and a /snap/* path is
rejected, so already-affected installs auto-recover on update.
