Pair conditional approval buttons into rows of two so the full Allow Once /
Session / Always / Deny set stays readable instead of one truncated 4x1 row.
Follow-up hardening for the salvaged #69240 readiness gate (#67498):
- _start_polling_once now returns its (generation, progress_event) pair
so the strict cold-start gate binds to exactly the generation it
started, instead of re-reading self._polling_progress_event which a
concurrent recovery task may have replaced with a newer generation's
event (the G1/G2 race flagged in the #69240 review).
- Strict cold start no longer schedules background polling recovery: a
polling error during the readiness wait is captured by a strict
callback and fails the connect attempt immediately with a loud
OSError, so GatewayRunner disposes the partial adapter and retries
with a fresh one — no more waiting out the full readiness deadline on
a generation that already errored, and no G2-on-partial-app healing.
- After readiness is proven the strict callback delegates every later
polling error to the real background-recovery callback, preserving
the existing degraded/reconnect semantics for the polling lifetime.
- The readiness-timeout error message now states the deadline and that
the gateway will retry with a fresh adapter (loud failure, not a
silent wait).
- Regression tests: current-generation progress connects; a polling
error during strict cold start fails fast without scheduling
background recovery (the #67498 idle-threads shape); stale-generation
progress is rejected.
Progresses #67498
Use wall deadlines for deleteWebhook and start_polling, then fail cold startup unless getUpdates proves progress. This lets the gateway discard partial PTB state and retry with a fresh adapter.\n\nRefs #67498
The cherry-pick auto-resolution + AST sweep applied plain utf-8 at three
.env reader sites where the salvaged PRs (#62617, #62123) deliberately
use utf-8-sig — a Notepad BOM must not hide/duplicate the first key.
Restore the contract (tests pin it).
AST-driven pass over every Path.read_text()/write_text() without an
explicit encoding= across non-test code: 71 sites in 34 files
(skills_hub, hermes_cli/main+profiles+service_manager+container_boot,
mem0/hindsight/honcho plugins, achievements dashboard, release/CI
scripts, productivity+comfyui skill helpers, agent/*). Verified zero
positional-encoding collisions before insertion; per-file compile()
check after.
Adds a check-windows-footguns rule flagging bare single-line
read_text/write_text (multi-line forms stay covered by the AST guard
test from #38985). Together with the salvaged contributor commits this
retires the ~169-site bare file-I/O class (#37423's long tail).
Follow-up to review feedback:
- mem0 _prompt_api_key read .env with the locale default, so a Notepad
BOM hid the first key from the masked current-value lookup; read it
with utf-8-sig + errors=replace like the canonical readers in
hermes_cli/config.py.
- hindsight _load_simple_env used plain utf-8; it also parses the Hermes
.env during post_setup, where a BOM stuck to the first key. Switch to
utf-8-sig + errors=replace.
- Add hindsight regressions: BOM key matching in _load_simple_env and in
the cloud post_setup writer, plus non-ASCII round-trip preservation,
and a mem0 regression for the BOM'd masked-key lookup. The BOM tests
fail without the fix on any platform.

The mem0 and hindsight memory-provider setup routines round-trip the
user's ~/.hermes/.env: they read existing lines, update the keys they
manage, and rewrite the whole file preserving every other line verbatim.
Both used env_path.read_text() / write_text() with no encoding.
read_text()/write_text() with no encoding fall back to the system locale
(cp1252/GBK on Windows), so on a non-UTF-8 host the preserved lines get
mangled or the call crashes on any non-ASCII value, and — because the
reader never strips a BOM — a Notepad-edited .env makes the first key
fail the in-place match and get duplicated instead of updated.
Match the canonical .env readers in hermes_cli/config.py: read with
encoding='utf-8-sig' (BOM-tolerant) and write with encoding='utf-8'.
mem0/_setup.py already pins utf-8 for mem0.json, so this just aligns the
.env path in the same file. Fixes both memory plugins in one class fix.
Adds regression tests: a BOM'd .env updates the first key in place
(locale-independent, fails without the fix) and non-ASCII existing lines
survive the round-trip.

On Windows with CJK locales (e.g. Chinese/GBK), pathlib.Path.read_text()
defaults to the system encoding instead of UTF-8, causing UnicodeDecodeError
when reading .env or .json config files that contain non-ASCII characters.
Explicitly pass encoding='utf-8' to all read_text() and write_text() calls
in the hindsight memory provider plugin.
Path.read_text() without an explicit encoding uses the platform's
default encoding. On Windows this is typically cp1252 or mbcs, which
causes UnicodeDecodeError or silent data corruption when reading
UTF-8 content (JSON files, user text, config with non-ASCII chars).
This is the read-side companion to the write_text() encoding fix.
Fixed the most critical locations that read JSON data, user content,
and config files across 14 files with 31 call sites.
Pattern: .read_text() → .read_text(encoding='utf-8')
json.loads(path.read_text()) → json.loads(path.read_text(encoding='utf-8'))
Follow-up to the salvaged #38985: guard the 4 bare read_text/write_text
sites its allowlist missed (google_chat thread-count store + oauth JSON)
and add whatsapp/google_chat to the AST guard test's file list.
- Strip the salvaged commit's inline encoding kwargs where main had since
gained its own (process_registry, local env, cua doctor, gateway,
commands, gateway_windows — the latter keeps its locale-aware
_schtasks_encoding() from #38186)
- Revert encoding kwargs mistakenly applied to non-subprocess APIs
(exa get_contents, tempfile.mkstemp in webhook.py)
- Guard the ddgs worker Popen (new on main since #55339)
- Update two kwarg-snapshot test assertions for the new kwargs
AST-driven pass over every subprocess.run/Popen/check_output/check_call/call
with text=True (or universal_newlines=True) and no explicit encoding=:
append encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' at the kwarg site. 136 call
sites across 28 files (cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, tools_config.py,
environments, computer_use, gateway, scripts, skills helpers, agent/*).
Together with the salvaged #55339/#60741 commits this closes out issue
#53428's bug class; the salvaged #60751 linter rule in
check-windows-footguns.py now enforces it repo-wide (verified: 807 files
scanned, zero findings).
On Windows with Chinese locale (GBK), subprocess.run(text=True) without
explicit encoding causes UnicodeDecodeError crashes. This fix adds
encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' to all subprocess.run() and
subprocess.Popen() calls that use text=True across 76 non-test Python files.
Fixes#53428 (master tracker for Windows GBK locale crash).

those will be submitted as separate focused PRs.
The Telegram adapter's connect retry loop could silently stall after
'Connecting to Telegram (attempt 1/8)...' with the event loop permanently
parked in select() — all threads idle, no attempt 2/8 ever scheduled.
Root cause analysis:
- The retry loop reused the same Application object across all
8 attempts. After a failed initialize() the app could be in a partially-
initialized state (closed httpx transports from ,
or flag set before the hang) causing subsequent calls
to silently skip real initialization.
- CancelledError (a BaseException, not an Exception) propagated silently
through all except handlers with no logging — the task driving the retry
loop could exit without any trace.
- No total watchdog bound existed for the entire retry loop; only per-attempt
timeouts via _await_with_thread_deadline. If the loop itself stalled
between attempts (between-attempt sleep, cleanup, or scheduling), there
was no timeout to catch it.
Fixes:
1. **Total watchdog deadline**: Compute a total deadline for the entire
connect loop (8 attempts × init_timeout + 120s margin). Before each
attempt, check the wall clock; if exceeded, raise OSError immediately
instead of attempting another initialize().
2. **Fresh Application per retry**: On each failed attempt, rebuild
via and re-register all handlers. The old
app is best-effort shutdown with . This ensures
each retry starts with a clean slate — no stale transports, no stale
flag, no leaked state from the previous attempt.
3. **BaseException logging + propagation**: Added
(placed LAST after all other handlers) to log CancelledError and other
non-Exception signals before propagating. Previously these exited the
retry loop silently with no log message.
4. ** block for app rebuild**: The clause runs after
every failed attempt that isn't the last, rebuilding the app and
discarding the old one regardless of which exception class caused the
failure.
RFC 8628 §3.2 makes the device-authorization `interval` optional with a
client-side default of 5 seconds. request_device_code required it, so a
compliant AS that omitted it hit the malformed-response path and the flow
could never complete. Fall back to 5s and cover it with a regression test.

Adds a device authorization grant flow alongside the existing loopback
OAuth flow, so `hermes setup` can connect to Honcho cloud from SSH and
other no-browser environments.
- oauth.py: new HTTP seams — _http_post_form_status (non-raising, since
RFC 8628 polling reads the OAuth error off a 400) and _http_get_json
for the RFC 8414 metadata probe
- oauth_flow.py: DeviceCode, request_device_code, poll_for_token with
slow_down backoff (+5s, capped at 60s) bounded by expires_in, typed
errors (AccessDenied, DeviceCodeExpired, AuthorizationTimeout), and
supports_device_login (fail-closed metadata gate); device flow ends in
the same install_grant tail as loopback so refresh/status work
unchanged
- oauth_flow.py: loopback callback now serves a "sign-in was not
completed" page on consent cancel instead of the success page
- cli.py: cloud menu offers oauth / device / apikey; the device option
only appears when the host advertises the grant, and becomes the
default when no browser is detected
- 18 new tests covering the full flow against a local fake AS, backoff
schedule, error mapping, deadline bound, metadata gate, and wizard
branches

Follow-up hardening on the salvaged _ensure_client() (#21130 fix):
- Failed-config cooldown: after a refresh attempt fails for a given
resolved config, skip re-probing for 30s. Previously every provider
access against a down endpoint paid a 3s health probe under
_client_refresh_lock and emitted a warning (2+ per turn, some on
user-facing threads: prefetch, tool calls, session end). Retries
still happen after the cooldown or immediately when config changes,
and the log message now says so instead of the false 'disabled until
config changes'.
- Atomic connection snapshot: _conn_snapshot (5-tuple, single
assignment) is published only after a health check passes.
_new_client() and on_memory_write's writer read it as one load, so
background writers can no longer observe a torn mix of old/new
identity fields mid-refresh or target an endpoint that never passed
health. Field writes in _ensure_client_locked keep tracking the
attempted config for the unchanged-config dedupe.
- _env_refresh_enabled moves to the top of initialize(): an exception
mid-initialize (swallowed by MemoryManager) can no longer leave the
provider silently stuck in never-refresh mode.
- _search_prefetch_context reuses _new_client() and degrades to ''
on construction failure instead of propagating.
Mutation-checked: neutering the cooldown or publishing the snapshot on
failed health makes the new regression tests fail.
Avoid spawning multiple local OpenViking server processes while a runtime autostart waiter is already active. Remote endpoints still retry on later accesses because they do not install a local waiter.
Route refreshed unreachable local OpenViking configs through the existing runtime recovery path so /reload can attach to a locally starting server instead of disabling memory until restart.
(cherry picked from commit 040e18ad90)
The _needs_trusted_identity_retry method was hard-coding specific
server-side error strings to detect when a request failed due to
missing X-OpenViking-Account / X-OpenViking-User headers. Each new
server-side error variant required another string added to the client.
Replace the string enumeration with a structural match: the error
message mentions one of the tenant headers AND the HTTP status is 400.
This covers all current error variants:
- "Trusted mode requests must include X-OpenViking-Account and User"
- "ROOT requests to tenant-scoped APIs must include X-OpenViking-Account"
- "Trusted mode requests must include X-OpenViking-Account."
- "Trusted mode requests must include X-OpenViking-User."
The 400 status guard avoids false-positives on 403 errors such as
"USER API keys cannot override X-OpenViking-User", which must not
trigger a retry.
All 176 existing tests pass.
(cherry picked from commit 5a24d6766c)
`OpenVikingMemoryProvider.shutdown()` joins in-flight writers, deferred-commit
threads, and prefetch threads, but not `_runtime_start_thread` — the tracked
`daemon=True` waiter that runs `_finish_runtime_openviking_start`, which blocks
on network health probes (`_wait_for_openviking_health` polling + a
`_VikingClient.health()` request).
If the local OpenViking runtime is slow or unreachable, that waiter can still
be blocked in network I/O at interpreter exit. CPython then forcibly kills it
during `Py_FinalizeEx` (`PyThread_exit_thread` -> `__pthread_unwind` ->
`abort()`), producing SIGABRT (exit 134) with no traceback — the same daemon-
thread-at-exit failure class fixed for the Honcho provider.
Fix:
- `shutdown()` now joins `_runtime_start_thread` (timeout-bounded) alongside the
other tracked threads.
- `_wait_for_openviking_health()` gains a `should_stop` callback; the waiter
passes `lambda: self._shutting_down` so the poll loop bails out promptly once
`shutdown()` flips the flag, instead of lingering up to the 60s autostart
timeout and timing out the join (which would leave the thread alive).
- Add tests/plugins/memory/test_openviking_shutdown.py covering the short-circuit
and the shutdown-joins-runtime-thread behaviour.
(cherry picked from commit 5471ec7021)
initialize() snapshots OPENVIKING_* into the provider once, so /reload
(which only updates os.environ) leaves viking_* tools running against
stale auth — users have to restart hermes to pick up keys added to
~/.hermes/.env after startup.
Add _ensure_client(), which re-resolves the connection settings via the
same _resolve_connection_settings/_load_hermes_openviking_config path
initialize() uses and rebuilds + health-checks the client only when an
OPENVIKING_* value actually changed; otherwise it reuses the cached
client so the hot path stays at one dict comparison with no network
calls. Every `if not self._client:` guard in system_prompt_block,
queue_prefetch, sync_turn, on_session_end, on_memory_write and
handle_tool_call now goes through it.
Refreshing is gated behind a flag set at the end of initialize() so the
baseline is established before any env re-resolution happens — callers
that wire up a client directly keep the existing client untouched.
Refs #21130
(cherry picked from commit b694d21b7c)
`_write_env_vars` in the OpenViking memory provider interpolates each
secret straight into a `KEY=VALUE` line, but the values only ever pass
through `_clean_config_value`, whose `value.strip()` trims surrounding
whitespace and leaves internal CR/LF intact. Because the file is strictly
line-oriented and is re-read via `read_text().splitlines()`, a value that
carries an embedded newline spills onto a second physical line, and the
tail is re-parsed as an independent `KEY=VALUE` entry on the next round
trip. A secret pasted with a trailing record (e.g. an `OPENVIKING_API_KEY`
copied with an extra line) therefore injects an arbitrary additional
variable into the persisted credentials file and silently corrupts it.
The fix neutralizes the line terminators at the single chokepoint where
values reach the file. A small `_env_line_safe` helper strips `\r`, `\n`,
and the NUL byte from each value, and both write sites in `_write_env_vars`
(the existing-key update branch and the appended-key branch) route through
it, so a value can only ever occupy the single line it is written on.
## What does this PR do?
Hardens the OpenViking memory provider's `.env` writer so a malformed or
pasted secret value can no longer break out of its `KEY=VALUE` line and
inject a rogue variable into the profile-scoped credentials file.
## Related Issue
N/A
## Type of Change
- [x] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
## Changes Made
- `plugins/memory/openviking/__init__.py`: add `_env_line_safe()` which
removes `\r`, `\n`, and `\x00` from a value, and apply it to both the
updated-key and appended-key write branches in `_write_env_vars()`.
- `tests/plugins/memory/test_openviking_provider.py`: add two regression
tests covering a fresh write and an in-place key update with embedded
CR/LF, asserting no injected line survives the read-back.
## How to Test
1. Run the targeted tests:
`pytest tests/plugins/memory/test_openviking_provider.py -k env_writer -q`
2. Reverting the `_env_line_safe` sanitization makes
`test_openviking_env_writer_strips_embedded_newlines_in_values` and
`test_openviking_env_writer_strips_newlines_when_updating_existing_key`
fail with a rogue `INJECTED_KEY=`/`ROGUE=1` line appearing in the file,
confirming the tests pin the bug.
3. `ruff check plugins/memory/openviking/__init__.py` and
`python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py plugins/memory/openviking/__init__.py`
both pass.

Two related Slack delivery fixes for send_message text sends:
- Route Slack text delivery through _send_via_adapter so the live
in-process gateway adapter (multi-workspace aware, channel→client
mapping, adapter-side gates) is preferred, with the plugin's
_standalone_send as the out-of-process fallback — matching how the
media path already behaves.
- _standalone_send: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN can be a comma-separated list in
multi-workspace installs and slack_tokens.json carries OAuth
per-workspace tokens; the standalone Web-API path used to send the
literal comma-joined string, which Slack rejects as invalid_auth.
Try each token individually, retrying on token-scoped errors
(invalid_auth / not_in_channel / channel_not_found …) and stopping on
terminal ones. User-DM resolution (U…/W… targets) also tries each
token.
Adapted from #47547 by @replygirl — the original patched the legacy
tools/send_message_tool.py::_send_slack helper, which moved to the
Slack plugin's _standalone_send in #41112.
Salvaged from #47547
Previously, Slack sessions and the channel directory stored raw channel
IDs (e.g. C0ATFHY907L) as chat_name, making it impossible for operators
to identify channels in send_message listings or session data.
Changes:
- Add _channel_name_cache and _resolve_channel_name() to SlackAdapter
that calls conversations.info (channels) or users.info (DMs) with
in-memory caching to avoid repeated API calls
- Use resolved names in _handle_slack_message() build_source() calls
- Use cached names in _seed_assistant_thread_session()
- Enrich session-sourced entries in channel_directory._build_slack()
by cross-referencing API results and falling back to conversations.info
+ users.info for DMs and private channels not in the bot's scope
Fixes: channel directory and session origins now show readable names
like 'general' or 'John Doe' instead of 'C0xxx' / 'D0xxx'.
Follow-up to the #51899 pick, folding in the config-bridge half of the
competing PR #46925 (@bhanusharma, earliest submitter for the
ignored-channel gate):
- _apply_yaml_config: translate config.yaml slack.ignored_channels into
SLACK_IGNORED_CHANNELS (list or CSV), env-var-wins like every other
bridged Slack key.
- SlackAdapter._slack_ignored_channels / gateway.run's
_slack_ignored_channels_from_gateway_config: fall back to the
SLACK_IGNORED_CHANNELS env var when PlatformConfig.extra carries no
value, so top-level slack: blocks (which flow through the env bridge,
not extra) are honored at both the adapter and runner gates.
- conftest: force-clear SLACK_ALLOWED_CHANNELS / SLACK_IGNORED_CHANNELS /
SLACK_DISABLE_DMS between tests (config-loader side-effect leak class).
- Tests: env-bridge translation + precedence in test_config.py, env
fallback + extra-wins in test_slack_runner_ignored_channels.py.
Credit: #46925 by @bhanusharma proposed the same gate with the YAML→env
bridge; #51899 (picked as the base) carries the wider outbound/runner
coverage. Closes#46925 as consolidated here with first-submitter credit.
Hermes already identifies itself on outbound calls to model providers
and monitoring endpoints — see hermes_cli/models.py and
plugins/model-providers/gmi/__init__.py
("Attribution so GMI can identify traffic from Hermes Agent"). The
Slack adapter is the one outbound surface that doesn't carry the
same identifier, so HermesAgent-driven Slack traffic is
indistinguishable from any other Bolt-Python app at the Slack
platform layer.
This sets `user_agent_prefix=f"HermesAgent/{_HERMES_VERSION}"` on the
AsyncWebClient instances constructed in gateway/platforms/slack.py
and threads them through AsyncApp via its `client` kwarg. Both
kwargs are first-class in slack-sdk and slack-bolt; no new
dependencies. Resulting header looks like:
HermesAgent/<version> Python/3.x slackclient/3.x ...
No behavioral change for users — the Slack API ignores User-Agent
semantically; it lands in logs and analytics. Reversible.
Tests in tests/gateway/test_slack.py:
- TestSlackUserAgent pins the prefix shape and runs connect()
end-to-end (multi-token config) to assert every AsyncWebClient
carries the prefix and AsyncApp receives the pre-built client.
- TestSlackProxyBehavior fakes updated to tolerate the new kwargs
via **_kwargs so they don't break on future passthroughs.
.get("key", {}) only applies the default when the key is ABSENT.
When the key exists with value None (null in JSON), .get() returns
None and the subsequent .get() raises AttributeError.
Fix: replace .get("key", {}).get(...) with (.get("key") or {}).get(...)
which handles both missing keys AND None values.

Blank (or whitespace-only) answers to the home-channel prompt in the

Salvaged from #58421
The C13 log-noise test (merged while this branch was in flight) builds a
bare SlackAdapter without __init__; the new _channel_teams ambiguity map
crashed it. getattr-guard, same pattern as the sibling defensive inits.
Salvaged from #59742 (downloads half only). Main already resolves the
event-level team id from the channel→workspace cache before downloads
(the file-EVENT half was covered by #30456), but when neither the event
nor the cache knows the workspace, both download helpers silently fell
back to the PRIMARY workspace token — Slack then returns an HTML login
page instead of file bytes for any non-primary workspace file.
Slack private file URLs embed the owning workspace id
(files-pri/<TEAM_ID>-<FILE_ID>/...), so _resolve_download_token now
prefers: explicit team_id -> URL-embedded team id -> primary token.
Both _download_slack_file and _download_slack_file_bytes route through
it.
Deferred from #59742 (out of this correctness cluster's scope): the
channel→team disk persistence, the pre-send conversations.info probe
loop, and the thread-file ingestion feature.
Reapplied from #59742 by @benjamin2026-dot onto the current adapter
(original targeted the pre-#30456 download sites).
Widen #48476's fence guarantees to the two splitters that still emitted
fence-broken chunks:
* GatewayStreamConsumer._split_text_chunks (fallback final send): close
the orphaned ``` at each chunk boundary and reopen it — with the
original language tag — on the next chunk, mirroring
BasePlatformAdapter.truncate_message's contract. Headroom is reserved
so balanced chunks stay within the platform limit.
* Slack block_kit._split_text (3000-char section chunking): same
close/reopen balancing for mrkdwn section text carrying fences.
With these, every chunk boundary — non-streaming send
(truncate_message), streaming overflow (_truncate_for_stream via
adapter.truncate_message per #45938), fallback final
(_split_text_chunks), final-send balance (ensure_closed_code_fences),
and Block Kit section splits — delivers fence-balanced chunks.
Regression tests probe each path with fenced fixtures, assert per-chunk
balance, limit compliance, language-tag reopening, and prose passthrough.
Slack's Block Kit `markdown` block accepts standard markdown (tables,
headers, task lists, fenced code with syntax highlighting, links) and
lets Slack translate it natively — eliminating the lossy markdown→mrkdwn
conversion for the rendered layout. Enable via
platforms.slack.extra.markdown_blocks.
Safety rails added on top of the original design:
* opt-in (default off) — Slack documents the block for 'apps that use
platform AI features' and does not guarantee availability across all
app types / surfaces, so unconditional adoption is not safe yet
* the mrkdwn-converted text field is ALWAYS kept as the
notification/search/accessibility fallback
* content over Slack's 12k cumulative markdown-block cap declines to the
rich_blocks renderer / plain text path
* the existing block-rejection retry (invalid_blocks / msg_too_long /
too_many_blocks) re-sends the plain mrkdwn payload, so an unsupported
surface degrades gracefully instead of dropping the message
* when both modes are enabled, markdown_blocks is preferred over the
local rich_blocks renderer; rich_blocks remains the fallback
Adapted from #8554 by @shivasymbl — the original patched the deleted
gateway/platforms/slack.py and switched unconditionally; reimplemented
against the plugin adapter's _maybe_blocks/sanitize_blocks pipeline.
Fixes#8552.
Slack mrkdwn has no table syntax — GFM pipe tables render as literal-pipe
noise with a raw |---|---| separator row. Wrap detected tables in ```
fences so they render as monospace preformatted text, and pad cells to
per-column max display width (East-Asian Wide / Full-width chars counted
as 2 columns) so columns stay aligned even with CJK content.
Tables already inside fenced code blocks are left untouched, and the
emitted fences carry no language tag so they compose with the
lang-tag-strip pass. This covers the plain-mrkdwn text path; the opt-in
rich_blocks path already renders native Block Kit table blocks.

gateway/platforms/slack.py, which was migrated to
plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py in the plugin migration.
Fixes the non-rich_blocks table path described in #8552.
Slack's mrkdwn parser can fail to recognize the closing * of a bold span
when it is immediately preceded by a non-word character (), ], }, ., :,
em-dash, ...), mis-rendering the span and in reported cases truncating
the rest of the message. Insert a zero-width space (U+200B) between the
last character and the closing * whenever the last character is not
alphanumeric or underscore.

gateway/platforms/slack.py, which was migrated to
plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py in the plugin migration.
Slack's mrkdwn does not strip the optional language tag from fenced
code blocks like GitHub-flavored markdown does — it renders
```text\nfoo\n``` as a code block whose literal first line is "text".
The agent emitted ```text fences around raw command output, which
surfaced "text" as the first line of every such block.
Drop the tag from the opening fence in format_message() before stashing
the block behind a placeholder. Stripping only fires for a genuine
opening fence — a ``` at the start of a line, tagged with a single
token (no spaces or backticks) — and the original line ending is
preserved. The fence-protection regex deliberately matches loosely, so
a mid-line ``` (e.g. an inline ```span``` wrapping across a newline)
can be grouped as an "opening fence" whose first line is real content;
differential fuzzing against the pre-change formatter (40k generated
messages) confirms the only behavioral delta is the tag strip itself.
The Block Kit renderer is unaffected: render_blocks() intercepts fences
itself before mrkdwn_fn is applied, so this only changes the mrkdwn
surfaces that still go through format_message() — the plain-text
fallback field (notifications, search indexing, accessibility),
slash-command ephemeral replies, and standalone cron delivery.
Originally written against gateway/platforms/slack.py; ported to
plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py after the adapter migration in
5600105478.
Manually verified against a live Slack workspace (pre-migration
adapter; the ```text case strips identically) — code blocks no longer
carry a literal "text" first line.
format_message unescapes already-escaped input before re-escaping, so that
pre-escaped text doesn't get double-escaped. That unescape was three
sequential str.replace calls, which re-scan each other's output:
"&lt;" --(& -> &)--> "<" --(< -> <)--> "<"
The & produced by the first replace pairs with the following "lt;" and
decodes a second time. "&lt;" is the wire form of the literal text
"<", so the text is silently destroyed: Slack receives "<" and renders
"<". Anyone writing about HTML or markup ("&lt;b&gt;" -> "<b>")
loses their literal text, with no error.
re.sub scans left-to-right and never re-scans its own replacements, so a
single pass fixes it. The escape pass on the next line is left untouched --
it is correctly ordered (& first, so the &s it inserts aren't re-escaped).
Only the double-decode cases change; every other input is byte-identical
before and after. This is the same round-trip invariant the neighbouring
test_pre_escaped_{ampersand,lt,gt}_not_double_escaped tests already assert,
extended to the case they miss. Affects the plain mrkdwn path (send,
edit_message) and Block Kit sections, which route section text through
format_message.
Build the full reaction pipeline on top of the #29916 base:
- Opt-in gate: slack.reaction_triggers (default OFF — reaction events
stay acked-and-dropped so busy channels don't wake the agent on every
emoji). 'true' routes reactions on the bot's OWN messages; an explicit
emoji-name list routes those emojis from any message (handoff flows).
- reaction_removed events now route too, distinguished by the
cross-platform text convention reaction:added:<emoji> /
reaction:removed:<emoji> (matches the Feishu and Photon adapters, so
agents and skills see one shape everywhere).
- Authorization: the reactor becomes the synthesized message's user, so
the early _is_user_authorized gate and allowed_channels whitelist
apply exactly as for typed messages. _hermes_force_process only skips
the mention requirement (a reaction on the bot's own message is
definitionally addressed to the bot), mirroring Feishu/Photon.
- Gateway hooks (#33111 by @johnkattenhorn): every human reaction on a
message item fires reaction:added / reaction:removed through the new
BasePlatformAdapter.set_reaction_handler → GatewayRunner
._handle_reaction_event → HookRegistry.emit, independent of the
routing opt-in. Documented in hooks.md.
- Channel handoff (#45265 by @Kev-fs): slack.reaction_trigger_target
routes the reaction turn to a configured channel (top-level via
_hermes_no_thread_response + reply-anchor suppression in
gateway/platforms/base.py) or C123:<ts> thread.
- Manifest: reaction_removed event subscription added alongside
reaction_added/reactions:read.
- Docs: slack.md Reaction Triggers section; hooks.md event table rows.
Also credits #44508 by @harrisonmedmedmetrics (inbound reaction_added
handling — same plumbing class, superseded by this consolidated shape).

Slack reaction_added events were explicitly acked and dropped, so a user
reacting to a bot message (👍 to approve, ✅ to acknowledge) produced
nothing. Forward them through the normal message pipeline as synthesized
MessageEvents whose text is the reaction emoji (translated to unicode
for common names), keeping the downstream auth gate, thread-context
fetch, dedup, and skill routing unchanged.
- Self-reactions and non-message items are dropped; reactions on
messages not sent by this bot are dropped (Feishu-adapter parity).
- The reacted-to message's thread parent becomes the synthesized
thread_ts so the reaction lands in the same session as a reply would.
- Manifest gains reactions:read scope + reaction_added bot event.
Salvaged from PR #29916 by @bpross.
Related: #33111, #44508, #45265 (same cluster).
Salvaged from PR #45702 (heartbeat half). A multi-minute turn showed a
static 'is thinking...' assistant status that reads as stuck and provokes
mid-turn 'you there?' pings. Derive the fallback status label from the
turn's elapsed time (>=30s → 'still working… (NmSSs)'), riding the
existing _keep_typing refresh — zero extra API calls.
Ported onto the current plugin adapter: the start time rides the tracked
_active_status_threads entry (workspace-scoped key), so it shares the
existing bounds/eviction and resets when stop_typing clears the status.
Explicit live-status phrases (set_status_text) and configured
typing_status_text always win; only the built-in default label changes.
The PR's other half (top-level channel follow-up coalescing) is NOT
included — dispatch semantics changed on main (busy-input active-turn
redirect, #30170 demotion) and need a fresh design pass.
