Sweep ~74 redundant local imports across 21 files where the same module
was already imported at the top level. Also includes type fixes and lint
cleanups on the same branch.
Smart model routing (auto-routing short/simple turns to a cheap model
across providers) was opt-in and disabled by default. This removes the
feature wholesale: the routing module, its config keys, docs, tests, and
the orchestration scaffolding it required in cli.py / gateway/run.py /
cron/scheduler.py.
The /fast (Priority Processing / Anthropic fast mode) feature kept its
hooks into _resolve_turn_agent_config — those still build a route dict
and attach request_overrides when the model supports it; the route now
just always uses the session's primary model/provider rather than
running prompts through choose_cheap_model_route() first.
Also removed:
- DEFAULT_CONFIG['smart_model_routing'] block and matching commented-out
example sections in hermes_cli/config.py and cli-config.yaml.example
- _load_smart_model_routing() / self._smart_model_routing on GatewayRunner
- self._smart_model_routing / self._active_agent_route_signature on
HermesCLI (signature kept; just no longer initialised through the
smart-routing pipeline)
- route_label parameter on HermesCLI._init_agent (only set by smart
routing; never read elsewhere)
- 'Smart Model Routing' section in website/docs/integrations/providers.md
- tip in hermes_cli/tips.py
- entries in hermes_cli/dump.py + hermes_cli/web_server.py
- row in skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md
Tests:
- Deleted tests/agent/test_smart_model_routing.py
- Rewrote tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py to target the
simplified _resolve_turn_agent_config directly (preserves credential
pool propagation + 429 rotation coverage)
- Dropped 'cheap model' test from test_cli_provider_resolution.py
- Dropped resolve_turn_route patches from cli + gateway test_fast_command
— they now exercise the real method end-to-end
- Removed _smart_model_routing stub assignments from gateway/cron test
helpers
Targeted suites: 74/74 in the directly affected test files;
tests/agent + tests/cron + tests/cli pass except 5 failures that
already exist on main (cron silent-delivery + alias quick-command).
One source fix (web_server category merge) + five test updates that
didn't travel with their feature PRs. All 13 failures on the 04-19
CI run on main are now accounted for (5 already self-healed on main;
8 fixed here).
Changes
- web_server.py: add code_execution → agent to _CATEGORY_MERGE (new
singleton section from #11971 broke no-single-field-category invariant).
- test_browser_camofox_state: bump hardcoded _config_version 18 → 19
(also from #11971).
- test_registry: add browser_cdp_tool (#12369) and discord_tool (#4753)
to the expected built-in tool set.
- test_run_agent::test_tool_call_accumulation: rewrite fragment chunks
— #0f778f77 switched streaming name-accumulation from += to = to
fix MiniMax/NIM duplication; the test still encoded the old
fragment-per-chunk premise.
- test_concurrent_interrupt::_Stub: no-op
_apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results — #12116 added this call after
concurrent tool batches; the hand-rolled stub was missing it.
- test_codex_cli_model_picker: drop the two obsolete tests that
asserted auto-import from ~/.codex/auth.json into the Hermes auth
store. #12360 explicitly removed that behavior (refresh-token reuse
races with Codex CLI / VS Code); adoption is now explicit via
`hermes auth openai-codex`. Remaining 3 tests in the file (normal
path, Claude Code fallback, negative case) still cover the picker.
Validation
- scripts/run_tests.sh across all 6 affected files + surrounding tests
(54 tests total) all green locally.
The web dashboard (Vite/React frontend) is now built as a separate Nix
derivation and baked into the Hermes package. The build output is
installed to a standard location and exposed via the `HERMES_WEB_DIST`
environment variable, allowing the dashboard command to use pre-built
assets when available (e.g., in packaged releases) instead of rebuilding
on every invocation.
Error messages that tell users to install optional extras now use
{sys.executable} -m pip install ... instead of a bare 'pip install
hermes-agent[extra]' string. Under the curl installer, bare 'pip'
resolves to system pip, which either fails with PEP 668
externally-managed-environment or installs into the wrong Python.
Affects: hermes dashboard, hermes web server startup, mcp_serve,
hermes doctor Bedrock check, CLI voice mode, voice_mode tool runtime
error, Discord voice-channel join failure message.
Review feedback on the original commit: the helper wrote a pool entry
with source `manual:device_code` while `_seed_from_singletons()` upserts
with `device_code` (no `manual:` prefix), so the pool grew a duplicate
row on every `load_pool()` after login.
Normalise: the helper now writes `providers.nous` and delegates the pool
write entirely to `_seed_from_singletons()` via a follow-up
`load_pool()` call. The canonical source is `device_code`; the helper
never materialises a parallel `manual:device_code` entry.
- `persist_nous_credentials()` loses its `label` and `source` kwargs —
both are now derived by the seed path from the singleton state.
- CLI and web dashboard call sites simplified accordingly.
- New test `test_persist_nous_credentials_idempotent_no_duplicate_pool_entries`
asserts that two consecutive persists leave exactly one pool row and
no stray `manual:` entries.
- Existing `test_auth_add_nous_oauth_persists_pool_entry` updated to
assert the canonical source and single-entry invariant.

`hermes auth add nous --type oauth` only wrote credential_pool.nous,
leaving providers.nous empty. When the Nous agent_key's 24h TTL expired,
run_agent.py's 401-recovery path called resolve_nous_runtime_credentials
(which reads providers.nous), got AuthError "Hermes is not logged into
Nous Portal", caught it as logger.debug (suppressed at INFO level), and
the agent died with "Non-retryable client error" — no signal to the
user that recovery even tried.
Introduce persist_nous_credentials() as the single source of truth for
Nous device-code login persistence. Both auth_commands (CLI) and
web_server (dashboard) now route through it, so pool and providers
stay in sync at write time.
Why: CLI-provisioned profiles couldn't recover from agent_key expiry,
producing silent daily outages 24h after first login. PR #6856/#6869
addressed adjacent issues but assumed providers.nous was populated;
this one wasn't being written.

When the dashboard connects to a remote gateway via GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL,
display the URL instead of the remote PID (which is meaningless locally).
Falls back to PID display for local gateways as before.
- Backend: expose gateway_health_url in /api/status response
- Frontend: prefer gateway_health_url over PID in gatewayValue()
- Add truncate + title tooltip for long URLs that overflow the card
- Add min-w-0/overflow-hidden on status cards for proper truncation
- Tests: verify gateway_health_url in remote and no-URL scenarios
Add a theme engine for the web dashboard that mirrors the CLI skin
engine philosophy — pure data, no code changes needed for new themes.
Frontend:
- ThemeProvider context that loads active theme from backend on mount
and applies CSS variable overrides to document.documentElement
- ThemeSwitcher dropdown component in the header (next to language
switcher) with instant preview on click
- 6 built-in themes: Hermes Teal (default), Midnight, Ember, Mono,
Cyberpunk, Rosé — each defines all 21 color tokens + overlay settings
- Theme types, presets, and context in web/src/themes/
Backend:
- GET /api/dashboard/themes — returns available themes + active name
- PUT /api/dashboard/theme — persists selection to config.yaml
- User custom themes discoverable from ~/.hermes/dashboard-themes/*.yaml
- Theme list endpoint added to public API paths (no auth needed)
Config:
- dashboard.theme key in DEFAULT_CONFIG (default: 'default')
- Schema override for select dropdown in config page
- Category merged into 'display' tab in config UI
i18n: theme switcher strings added for en + zh.
Expose skill usage in analytics so the dashboard and insights output can
show which skills the agent loads and manages over time.
This adds skill aggregation to the InsightsEngine by extracting
`skill_view` and `skill_manage` calls from assistant tool_calls,
computing per-skill totals, and including the results in both terminal
and gateway insights formatting. It also extends the dashboard analytics
API and Analytics page to render a Top Skills table.
Terminology is aligned with the skills docs:
- Agent Loaded = `skill_view` events
- Agent Managed = `skill_manage` actions
Architecture:
- agent/insights.py collects and aggregates per-skill usage
- hermes_cli/web_server.py exposes `skills` on `/api/analytics/usage`
- web/src/lib/api.ts adds analytics skill response types
- web/src/pages/AnalyticsPage.tsx renders the Top Skills table
- web/src/i18n/{en,zh}.ts updates user-facing labels
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_insights.py covers skill aggregation and formatting
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py covers analytics API contract
including the `skills` payload
- verified with `cd web && npm run build`
Files changed:
- agent/insights.py
- hermes_cli/web_server.py
- tests/agent/test_insights.py
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py
- web/src/i18n/en.ts
- web/src/i18n/types.ts
- web/src/i18n/zh.ts
- web/src/lib/api.ts
- web/src/pages/AnalyticsPage.tsx
When the gateway responds to the health probe but the local
gateway_state.json has a stale 'stopped' state (common in cross-container
setups where the file was written before the gateway restarted), the
dashboard would show 'Running (remote)' but with a 'Stopped' badge.
Now if the HTTP probe succeeded (remote_health_body is not None) and
gateway_state is 'stopped' or None, override it to 'running'. Also
handles the no-shared-volume case where runtime is None entirely.
The probe was appending '/detailed' to whatever URL was provided,
so GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL=http://host:8642 would try /8642/detailed
and /8642 — neither of which are valid routes.
Now strips any trailing /health or /health/detailed from the env var
and always probes {base}/health/detailed then {base}/health.
Accepts bare base URL, /health, or /health/detailed forms.
The dashboard's gateway status detection relied solely on local PID checks
(os.kill + /proc), which fails when the gateway runs in a separate container.
Changes:
- web_server.py: Add _probe_gateway_health() that queries the gateway's HTTP
/health/detailed endpoint when the local PID check fails. Activated by
setting the GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL env var (e.g. http://gateway:8642/health).
Falls back to standard PID check when the env var is not set.
- api_server.py: Add GET /health/detailed endpoint that returns full gateway
state (platforms, gateway_state, active_agents, pid, etc.) without auth.
The existing GET /health remains unchanged for backwards compatibility.
- StatusPage.tsx: Handle the case where gateway_pid is null but the gateway
is running remotely, displaying 'Running (remote)' instead of 'PID null'.
Environment variables:
- GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL: URL of the gateway health endpoint (e.g.
http://gateway-container:8642/health). Unset = local PID check only.
- GATEWAY_HEALTH_TIMEOUT: Probe timeout in seconds (default: 3).
Addresses responsible disclosure from FuzzMind Security Lab (CVE pending).
The web dashboard API server had 36 endpoints, of which only 5 checked
the session token. The token itself was served from an unauthenticated
GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint, rendering the protection circular.
When bound to 0.0.0.0 (--host flag), all API keys, config, and cron
management were accessible to any machine on the network.
Changes:
- Add auth middleware requiring session token on ALL /api/ routes except
a small public whitelist (status, config/defaults, config/schema,
model/info)
- Remove GET /api/auth/session-token endpoint entirely; inject the token
into index.html via a <script> tag at serve time instead
- Replace all inline token comparisons (!=) with hmac.compare_digest()
to prevent timing side-channel attacks
- Block non-localhost binding by default; require --insecure flag to
override (with warning log)
- Update frontend fetchJSON() to send Authorization header on all
requests using the injected window.__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__

- Add GET /api/model/info endpoint that resolves model metadata using the
same 10-step context-length detection chain the agent uses. Returns
auto-detected context length, config override, effective value, and
model capabilities (tools, vision, reasoning, max output, model family).
- Surface model.context_length as model_context_length virtual field in
the config normalize/denormalize cycle. 0 = auto-detect (default),
positive value overrides. Writing 0 removes context_length from the
model dict on disk.
- Add ModelInfoCard component showing resolved context window (e.g. '1M
auto-detected' or '500K override — auto: 1M'), max output tokens, and
colored capability badges (Tools, Vision, Reasoning, model family).
- Inject ModelInfoCard between model field and context_length override in
ConfigPage General tab. Card re-fetches on model change and after save.
- Insert model_context_length right after model in CONFIG_SCHEMA ordering
so the three elements (model input → info card → override) are adjacent.
The dashboard device-code flow (_nous_poller in web_server.py) saved
credentials to the credential pool only, while get_nous_auth_status()
only checked the auth store (auth.json). This caused the Keys tab to
show 'not connected' even when the backend was fully authenticated.
Two fixes:
1. get_nous_auth_status() now checks the credential pool first (like
get_codex_auth_status() already does), then falls back to the auth
store.
2. _nous_poller now also persists to the auth store after saving to
the credential pool, matching the CLI flow (_login_nous).
Adds 3 tests covering pool-only, auth-store-fallback, and empty-state
scenarios.
- Wrap module-level import from agent.anthropic_adapter in try/except
so hermes web still starts if the adapter is unavailable; Phase 2
PKCE endpoints return 501 in that case.
- Change authorize URL from console.anthropic.com to claude.ai to
match the canonical adapter code.
Add OAuth provider management to the Hermes dashboard with full
lifecycle support for Anthropic (PKCE), Nous and OpenAI Codex
(device-code) flows.
## Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
- 6 new API endpoints:
GET /api/providers/oauth — list providers with connection status
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/start — initiate PKCE or device-code
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/submit — exchange PKCE auth code
GET /api/providers/oauth/{id}/poll/{session} — poll device-code
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/{id} — disconnect provider
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/sessions/{id} — cancel pending session
- OAuth constants imported from anthropic_adapter (no duplication)
- Blocking I/O wrapped in run_in_executor for async safety
- In-memory session store with 15-minute TTL and automatic GC
- Auth token required on all mutating endpoints
## Frontend
- OAuthLoginModal — PKCE (paste auth code) and device-code (poll) flows
- OAuthProvidersCard — status, token preview, connect/disconnect actions
- Toast fix: createPortal to document.body for correct z-index
- App.tsx: skip animation key bump on initial mount (prevent double-mount)
- Integrated into the Env/Keys page
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset
