Sibling site of the load_cli_config fix (#58277): _deep_merge treated a
YAML-null section (terminal: with no value) as an override, replacing
the entire DEFAULT_CONFIG dict for that section with None. Every
downstream consumer expecting a mapping was a latent crash, and default
sub-keys were silently lost. A None override of a dict default is now
ignored, matching the CLI loader's behavior. Scalar-null overrides are
unchanged.
test_accepted_at_every_position spawned 11 separate
'python -m hermes_cli.main' subprocesses, each cold-importing the full
CLI module tree under a 15s TimeoutExpired deadline. On a loaded CI
worker the import alone can exceed that (slice 2/8 flaked exactly here
on PR #61726's run, TimeoutExpired at subprocess.py:1253), failing PRs
that never touched the CLI.
Replace with ONE driver subprocess that imports hermes_cli.main once
and parses all 11 argvs in-process (catching SystemExit per argv),
reporting JSON results. Same assertions per argv, identical semantics
(verified the --help-before-unknown-flag exit behavior matches the old
method), ~11x less import work, and the 180s timeout only trips on a
genuine hang.
The HTML session export interpolated the tool-call name into the page
without escaping, while every sibling field went through _escape_html. A
tool-call name is attacker-influenced, so a prompt-injected model can emit
a name containing HTML that executes when the export is opened in a browser.
Escape the tool-call name like the other fields.
Port from openai/codex#31188: a parse failure in a policy-bearing config
file must not silently replace the effective policy with an empty/default
one. Codex's load_exec_policy_with_warning replaced the whole exec policy
with Policy::empty() when a .rules file failed to parse, silently dropping
managed prompt/forbidden rules; the fix preserves the managed policy while
still warning.
Hermes had the same bug shape in load_config(): a YAML parse error made
_load_config_impl() fall through to DEFAULT_CONFIG, dropping every user
override — including approvals.deny rules, which are documented to block
commands even under --yolo. In a long-running gateway, a user mid-editing
config.yaml into broken YAML silently disarmed their own deny rules on the
next load.
Now, when the process has a last successfully loaded config for that path
(_LAST_EXPANDED_CONFIG_BY_PATH), a parse failure keeps serving it (cached
under the corrupt file's signature so the broken file isn't re-parsed) and
the warning says edits are being ignored until the YAML is fixed. Fresh
processes with no last-known-good keep the existing DEFAULT_CONFIG
fallback and warning.
E2E-verified: deny rule 'curl*evil.com*' still blocks after mid-process
corruption; fixed file reloads normally; fresh-process fallback unchanged.
The earlier fix gated _resolve_use_tui, but the EARLY launcher
(_wants_tui_early) decides TUI from display.interface before cmd_chat
runs — so a `display.interface: tui` default still booted the Ink UI for
headless spawns (kanban workers), whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 →
"protocol violation". Gate the early resolver on a real TTY: headless
stdio never boots the TUI regardless of config; explicit --tui still does.
Dragging a task done→ready did nothing: the respawn guard saw a run that
completed within the success window and deferred forever, unable to tell a
deliberate operator re-run from a status flap. Now a re-queue event
(status change, promote, unblock, reclaim) AFTER the completion bypasses
the recent_success guard, so an explicit done→ready runs again.
A retried task (→ running) kept showing "crashed Nx": the in-flight run
has no outcome yet, so the trailing crash scan skipped it and kept
counting the prior streak, and the consecutive_failures counter lingers.
Exempt `running` from both repeated_failures and repeated_crashes so a
fresh attempt clears the banner until it itself resolves (re-fires if the
new run also fails).
An inherited HERMES_TUI=1 or a `display.interface: tui` config default sent
kanban workers into the Ink TUI, whose no-TTY bail-out exits 0 without doing
the task — every attempt ended in "protocol violation". Two layers:
- _default_spawn pins `--cli` (highest-precedence interface flag) and strips
HERMES_TUI from the child env (covers older builds on PATH).
- _resolve_use_tui gates ambient TUI prefs (env/config) behind a real TTY;
an explicit --tui still wins so the informative bail-out stays reachable.
A manual done (dashboard/desktop drag) runs complete_task but ends no
run, so a trailing crashed/crashed run history never gains the
'completed' outcome that breaks the repeated_crashes streak — the card
kept flagging "needs attention" forever after being finished.
repeated_failures had the same hole via a stale counter. Terminal
statuses are now exempt from both: done means done; the history stays
on the event log for audit. Regression test included.
Adding the 6 gpt-5.6 slugs to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS grew the curated codex
catalog to 11, above the test's max_models=10 cap. That truncated the
picker list to 10 while total_models reported 11, breaking the
total_models == len(models) assertion. The cap was an implicit
change-detector on catalog size; raise it to 100 so the list is never
truncated and the count-consistency invariant stays meaningful as new
gpt-5.x slugs land.
Close the remaining end-to-end gaps so the full gpt-5.6 family (sol/
terra/luna + their -pro high-effort modes, 6 slugs) works on every
surface a user can reach them through:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: the Codex OAuth backend hard-caps context
at 272K for gpt-5.6 exactly as it does for 5.4/5.5, but the default
50% compaction trigger would summarize at ~136K and waste half the
usable window. Extend the existing _is_codex_gpt54_or_gpt55 chokepoint
(single enforced predicate feeding _compression_threshold_for_model)
to match gpt-5.6* on the openai-codex route so those sessions get the
same 0.85 auto-raise. Direct-API/OpenRouter routes (full 1.05M window)
are unaffected; the historical codex_gpt55_autoraise opt-out still
applies. The one-time notice banner is model-dynamic and already
renders the correct slug/cap.
- hermes_cli/config.py, agent/agent_init.py: refresh the autoraise
comments/notice to mention the 5.6 family.
- hermes_cli/codex_models.py: add the -pro variants to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS
+ forward-compat so ChatGPT-OAuth (openai-codex) Pro users see the full
family in /model, not just the base tiers.
Supersedes the earlier commit's note that 5.6 was intentionally kept out
of the codex catalog: the slugs are confirmed routable (OpenRouter live
+ codex backend), so they belong there like every other codex-capable
gpt-5.x slug.
E2E verified across all 6 slugs: direct-API ctx 1.05M, codex ctx 272K,
pricing reachable from openai + openai-api routes, codex compaction
override 0.85 (and None on direct-API + when opted out), present in
openai-api picker + codex catalog, /model gpt resolves to sol on both
native routes. Guard tests added for the compaction route matrix.
PR #61587 adds sol-pro/terra-pro/luna-pro to the aggregator lists.
Complete those on the native surfaces the same way this PR completes
the base tiers:
- hermes_cli/models.py: -pro variants in _PROVIDER_MODELS[openai-api].
- agent/usage_pricing.py: alias ("openai", "gpt-5.6-*-pro") onto the
base-tier PricingEntry rows — the -pro high-effort modes bill at the
SAME per-token rates (verified against OpenRouter live pricing
2026-07-09: identical prompt/completion prices for base and -pro);
they cost more per task by consuming more tokens, not a higher rate.
- Context lengths need no new entries: "gpt-5.6-sol" et al. are
substrings of their -pro variants and both lookup tables match
longest-key-first (verified: sol-pro -> 1.05M direct / 272K codex).
- model_switch sort: -pro variants parse as suffix "sol-pro" (rank 1),
so /model gpt still defaults to base sol — pinned by test.
- Not added to DEFAULT_CODEX_MODELS: only confirmed routable via API/
OpenRouter so far; codex live discovery will surface them if ChatGPT
exposes them, same policy as other unconfirmed codex slugs.
Tests: invariant tests extended (pro aliases share base entries, base
sol outranks sol-pro); 191 targeted tests pass.
Phase-2 review findings addressed:
- resolve_billing_route: normalize the "openai-api" picker slug to the
"openai" billing provider — without this the ("openai", <model>)
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING keys (incl. every pre-existing gpt-4o/gpt-4.1
entry, not just 5.6) were unreachable when the provider is openai-api.
- pricing_version: drop the "preview" tag (GA 2026-07-09 at same rates).
- model_metadata comment: dict order is cosmetic — lookups length-sort
keys at match time; the old comment implied a positional invariant.
- model_switch comment: note "sol" is a series codename, not a generic
quality word.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_gpt56_registration.py: behavior contracts (no
list snapshots) — sol > terra/luna > 5.5 sort invariant, pricing
reachability from both openai and openai-api routes, cache-write
1.25x / cache-read 0.10x input relation.
Phase-2 review finding: the validation branch expanduser()s the path but
web_server.py reads os.environ['HERMES_WEB_DIST'] raw at import — a
'~/dist' value would validate here and still 404 there. Write the
expanded path back before the web_server import. Adds a regression test
asserting the env var holds the expanded path after cmd_dashboard.
Mock _preflight_user_systemd and _select_systemd_scope in
test_systemd_start_refreshes_outdated_unit and
test_systemd_restart_refreshes_outdated_unit. These tests target
unit-file refresh logic, not D-Bus reachability, so the preflight
check was causing spurious UserSystemdUnavailableError on macOS,
WSL, and Docker where systemd is unavailable.
(cherry picked from commit 34113300a1)
A custom HERMES_WEB_DIST without --skip-build skipped BOTH the web UI
build and any validation: cmd_dashboard fell through the build gate and
started the server against a dist that may not exist, serving 404s with
no obvious cause. This is the same failure mode issue #23817 fixed for
the --skip-build branch — the env-var branch was left unvalidated.
Add the missing else-branch: fail fast with actionable guidance when
HERMES_WEB_DIST has no index.html, proceed (still without building) when
it does.
Credit: @Caelier (#17845) originally proposed dist validation for the
dashboard startup path; the --skip-build half of that PR's scope has
since landed via the #23817 fix, this covers the remaining env-var path
on the rewritten cmd_dashboard surface.
Follow-up to HexLab98's fix. The sync-before-regenerate invariant was
enforced by convention across 6 callsites (~3 idempotent unit-file reads
per command). Consolidate it into the one function every compare/regenerate
path funnels through — systemd_unit_is_current — and drop the now-redundant
callsite pre-syncs in refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed / systemd_start /
systemd_restart / systemd_status.
Kept the systemd_install pre-sync: the --force path bypasses the
is_current gate and calls generate_systemd_unit() directly, so it needs
its own sync to avoid baking /root/.hermes under sudo.
Reworked the two callsite-ordering tests into a chokepoint-invariant guard
(test_is_current_syncs_before_reading_unit) + a delegation test proving
start/restart no longer pre-sync. Both fail if the chokepoint sync is
removed; the pre-existing behavior test still passes.
PR #61281 removed the client-side X-Hermes-Session-Token requirement from the
dashboard OAuth mutation calls so cookie-authenticated hosted/mobile sessions
can start provider logins. That change is safe only because the server still
gates those endpoints (gated_auth_middleware cookie check + _require_token).
The PR's api.test.ts suite mocks fetch and only asserts client behavior, so a
re-break of the gated-mode cookie gate would pass CI unnoticed.
Add gated-mode TestClient tests asserting POST /api/env/reveal and the OAuth
mutation endpoints (disconnect/start/submit/cancel) return 401 with no session
cookie. Mutation-verified: neutering both the middleware gate and _require_token
flips all five to 200.
Rebase reconciliation with #60884: _count_status_active_sessions (from
#58238) now passes compact_rows=True (this branch's #47437 projection),
so the fake asserts both.
get_status now probes via get_running_pid_cached() (#53511 salvage);
these tests were added on main after that PR was cut and still patched
web_server.get_running_pid, so their fakes were bypassed and CI slice
5/8 failed. Patch the name the handler actually calls.
Review finding: SessionDB(read_only=True) requires the DB file to exist
(its documented contract says callers guard on db_path.exists()); on a
fresh install every /api/status poll paid an OperationalError until the
first session was written. Short-circuit to 0 when state.db is absent.
Tests: fresh-install guard + existing read_only test adjusted.
The #39140 CTE used UNION ALL, which recurses forever if a corrupted
parent chain loops (a -> b -> a) — reproduced: query never returns. The
old Python walk was cycle-safe via a seen-set. UNION dedups the working
set and terminates. Regression test added and mutation-verified (UNION
ALL hangs the test, UNION passes).
- OPENROUTER_MODELS: remove openrouter/owl-alpha (free) and
tencent/hy3-preview{,:free}; add tencent/hy3 and tencent/hy3:free
- _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous]: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
- run_agent.py reasoning-prefix list: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
(prefix match still covers -preview if pinned)
- model_metadata: register hy3 context length (262144) alongside hy3-preview
- regenerate website/static/api/model-catalog.json
- update tokenhub curated-list tests to the new IDs
The tencent-tokenhub direct provider still serves hy3-preview and is
intentionally unchanged.
* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
Strict charset allowlist (alnum + - _, max 64) on the {name} path param of
the memory-provider config/setup endpoints. Prevents traversal-shaped names
from reaching find_provider_dir(), and setup now 404s when neither a
loadable provider nor a plugin manifest exists, so the command-running path
is only reachable for discoverable plugins. Adds regression tests.
The profile+gateway topology added in #60537 sits entirely behind the
loopback/--insecure auth gate. But a hosted agent (Hermes Cloud) binds
non-loopback with OAuth, so should_require_auth is True, and NAS reads
/api/status over the network (fly-provider.ts getInstanceRuntimeStatus)
with no session token. On that gated path the whole topology block was
omitted, so the Portal could never render the profile list.
Split the topology readout by sensitivity:
- profile NAMES (profiles) + gateway_mode are low-sensitivity product
surface and now ride the always-public status body, surviving the auth
gate so NAS/the Portal can enumerate profiles.
- the per-gateway detail (gateways[], carrying host ports) is deployment
recon and stays gated alongside hermes_home / config_path / env_path /
gateway_pid / gateway_health_url.
The collector now runs unconditionally (still in the executor, off the
event loop). No new fields; only the gate placement changes.
Headless/hosted deploys run the dashboard server without COLORTERM in
the process environment, so chalk inside the PTY-spawned TUI child
downgraded every skin hex color to the xterm 256 palette — the default
skin's bronze banner border (#CD7F32) snapped to palette 173 (#D7875F,
salmon red) and the gold caduceus rendered red/yellow on fresh cloud
instances. Local launches never reproduced it because the operator's
interactive terminal leaks COLORTERM=truecolor into the server env.
xterm.js always renders 24-bit RGB, so the dashboard PTY child should
always advertise truecolor: backfill COLORTERM=truecolor in
_resolve_chat_argv via setdefault (an explicit operator value wins).
Verified with a clean-env PTY probe of the real TUI binary:
no COLORTERM -> 0 truecolor SGRs / 165 palette-256 (salmon 38;5;173);
with the backfill -> 166 truecolor SGRs, exact bronze 38;2;205;127;50.
When a user explicitly configures a platform with its native composite
(e.g. platform_toolsets.discord: [hermes-discord]), the discord and
discord_admin toolsets were silently stripped by _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS
even though the composite contains those tools. The strip could not tell
an explicit composite opt-in apart from the unconfigured default.
Track whether the platform was explicitly configured and, when it was,
exempt toolsets that are both default-off and platform-restricted to the
current platform from the strip. Only discord/discord_admin are affected
(the sole entries in both _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS and
_TOOLSET_PLATFORM_RESTRICTIONS). Unconfigured and empty-list platforms
keep the security default-off behaviour.
/api/status (loopback/insecure binds only) now includes:
- profiles: every profile on the host (default + named)
- gateway_mode: none | single | multiple | multiplex
- gateways: one entry per live gateway with the host ports its
port-binding platforms listen on, plus served_profiles when the
default gateway is multiplexing
Ports resolve from each profile's config.yaml (top-level platforms:
wins over gateway.platforms:, matching load_gateway_config precedence)
with adapter defaults as fallback. Topology enumeration runs in an
executor so the profile scan + process-table probes stay off the event
loop, and the whole block is gated behind the same loopback-only split
as hermes_home/gateway_pid so gated binds leak nothing new.
Follow-up on the #56966 salvage:
- is_provider_explicitly_configured(): an env-seeded credential-pool entry
only counts as explicit while its env var still resolves to a usable
secret. A stale auth.json entry left behind after the user deletes the
var no longer keeps the provider in the picker forever (#55790).
- TUI modelPicker + dashboard ModelPickerDialog/api.getModelOptions pass
include_unconfigured=true explicitly, preserving their full-universe
setup-affordance behavior now that the backend defaults to the
configured subset.
- desktop lib/model-options.ts routes explicit_only through the shared
requestModelOptions() helper (added on main after the PR branched).
- regression tests for ambient (gh_cli) pool sources, explicit manual/
device-code sources, and stale vs live env-seeded entries.
* feat(trace): upload sessions to HF Agent Trace Viewer
Salvage trace upload as a smaller CLI-first feature: deterministic Claude Code JSONL export, fail-closed redaction, lazy Hugging Face dependency, and no gateway slash-command wiring.
* chore(trace): drop external porting references from docstrings
Describe the trace-upload design in Hermes' own terms.
* feat(sessions): fold trace upload into 'sessions export --format trace'
Integrates the HF Agent Trace Viewer exporter (PR #36145) onto the
unified export surface instead of a separate 'hermes trace' subcommand:
- --format trace: Claude Code JSONL to stdout/file, or one
<id>.trace.jsonl per session for filtered bulk export; defaults to
the most recent session when no --session-id/filters given.
- --upload pushes to the user's private HF traces dataset (--public to
opt out of private); reads HF_TOKEN with guided setup when missing.
- traces are secret-redacted by default (force mode); --no-redact opts
out after review; redaction failure blocks export (fail closed).
- hermes_cli/trace.py + subcommands/trace.py removed; agent/trace_upload.py
is the single engine. Docs EN + zh-Hans; 4 new CLI tests.
