A config migration (or hand-edit) that leaves an invalid toolset name in
`platform_toolsets` — e.g. the #38798 corruption that rewrote `hermes-cli` to
the non-existent `hermes` — silently disabled all affected tools:
resolve_toolset() returns [] for an unknown name, so the agent quietly lost its
tools with no error, warning, or log entry and degraded to text-only replies.
Surface it loudly at two points:
- After migration (migrate_config): validate platform_toolsets and record/print
a warning per unknown name, with a `hermes-<platform>` suggestion when that
would have been valid (the exact #38798 shape).
- At runtime (_get_platform_tools): if a platform was explicitly configured but
every toolset name is invalid, log a warning when tools are resolved for a
session — so an ALREADY-corrupted config is caught at startup, not only on the
next `hermes update`.
Logic lives in a new pure, side-effect-free helper (toolset_validation.py) with
validate_toolset injected, so it is unit-testable without the tool registry.
Note: the original v25→v26 migration that caused the corruption no longer
exists (config format is now v30; no migration step rewrites toolset names).
This change is the durable defense against the silent-failure mode regardless
of cause, matching the issue's "Expected: log a warning".
Salvaged from #39207 by @lEWFkRAD (authorship preserved via cherry-pick).
Tests: 9 helper cases (incl. the #38798 corruption shape, mixed valid/invalid,
zero-tools state, non-dict/scalar/non-string) + a runtime caplog test — both the
helper warning and the runtime guard mutation-verified to fail without the fix.
Closes#38798. Supersedes #39581 (prevent-in-v25→v26 — that path is gone),
#41006 / #40208 (repair-migration for already-corrupted configs).
The cron runtime tripwire (_scan_cron_prompt) used a 10-char invisible-unicode
set while the install-time scanner (threat_patterns.INVISIBLE_CHARS) flags 17.
The cron-local set was missing U+2062-U+2064 (invisible math operators) and
U+2066-U+2069 (directional isolates), so a directive obfuscated with one of
those codepoints (e.g. "ig<U+2063>nore all previous instructions") slipped past
the runtime cron gate while being caught at install time.
Import the canonical set so the cron tripwire and install scanner can't drift
apart again. Emoji-ZWJ protection (_zwj_has_emoji_neighbour) is unchanged.

Replies on WhatsApp Cloud arrived at the agent with reply_to_id set but
reply_to_text=None, so run.py never injected the "[Replying to: ...]"
disambiguation prefix (it gates on reply_to_text). Meta's webhook context
object carries only the quoted message's id, never its text.
Index (chat_id, wamid) -> text in rich_sent_store on every inbound message
and every outbound text send -- the same store that solved the identical
Telegram rich-send problem -- then look up the quoted text in
_build_message_event_from_cloud and populate reply_to_text plus
reply_to_is_own_message, derived from context.from versus the business
number.
Tasks 2.1 + 2.2 + 2.3 of the safe-shutdown plan — the reversible
quiesce-without-restart machinery NAS drives during a lifecycle action (D4a).
These ship together because the endpoint, the control channel, and the gateway
state machine are one coherent slice.
2.2 — control channel (gateway/drain_control.py, new):
The dashboard has no HTTP path into a running gateway (guardrails: "there is NO
external control channel into a running gateway"); restart/drain is driven only
by markers the gateway reacts to. So begin/cancel-drain writes/removes a
presence-based marker .drain_request.json (HERMES_HOME-scoped, atomic write,
never-raises read; a corrupt marker reads as present-contentless → fail-safe
toward quiescing). This is Q-B option A.
2.2 — gateway state machine (gateway/run.py):
- _external_drain_active flag, DISTINCT from the shutdown _draining flag: this
one does NOT exit the process and is fully reversible.
- _enter_external_drain / _exit_external_drain: idempotent transitions that
flip gateway_state→draining / →running via _update_runtime_status (preserving
the live active_agents count). exit refuses to revert to running during a
real shutdown or after the loop stops (shutdown wins).
- _drain_control_watcher: 1s background task (modelled on _handoff_watcher)
reconciling accept-state with the marker; honours a marker that survived a
restart on its first tick. Registered alongside the other watchers in start.
- New-turn accept gate in _handle_message, placed BEFORE the session-slot
claim: when draining, refuse to START a new turn (so active_agents can only
fall → no TOCTOU race), while in-flight turns finish untouched. Internal/
system events (restart-recovery replays, bg-process completions) bypass it.
2.1 — endpoint (hermes_cli/web_server.py):
POST /api/gateway/drain {action: drain|cancel}. Authenticated by the Task-2.0a
token seam (the drain plugin registered this exact path as a token route);
attributes the request to the verified token principal. Begin writes the
marker, cancel removes it — the gateway process owns the actual transition.
Force-override (D6) is NOT here; it maps onto the existing immediate
/api/gateway/restart force path.
Tests (mocked — necessary-not-sufficient; the HARD live gate Q-B is next):
- tests/gateway/test_external_drain_control.py — marker contract (write/clear/
read/corrupt/atomic), state machine (enter/exit/idempotency/shutdown-wins/
loop-stopped), watcher reconcile-enter-then-exit, new-turn refusal, and
in-flight-not-interrupted. 15 tests.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py — /api/gateway/drain begin/default-begin/
cancel/cancel-idempotent/bad-action-400. 6 tests.
- dashboard.drain_auth config section already added in 2.0b commit.
All touched suites green: 301 (gateway+auth) + 9 (web_server endpoints) passed.
Intentionally deferred:
- HARD live-validation gate (Q-B): real isolated `hermes gateway run`, drive a
real begin-drain marker, prove the 5-point checklist a–e.
- Spec-doc status flip + Phase-2 PR.
Build status: external-drain, restart-drain, status, dashboard-auth, drain-plugin,
token-auth, and web_server-endpoint suites green.
Task 2.0b: the concrete shared-bearer-secret auth provider, the FIRST consumer
of the generic token-auth capability (Task 2.0a). Implements decisions.md Q-A.
plugins/dashboard_auth/drain/ (bundled, discovered like dashboard_auth/basic):
- DrainSecretProvider: non-interactive provider, supports_token=True. Verifies
an inbound Authorization bearer token against a per-agent shared secret with
hmac.compare_digest (constant-time, no timing oracle) and, on a match,
vouches for the caller as the "drain-control" principal scoped to "drain".
The five interactive ABC methods raise NotImplementedError; verify_session
returns None (stacks harmlessly in the cookie-verify loop).
- assess_secret_strength(): fail-closed entropy gate. Rejects secrets shorter
than 43 url-safe-b64 chars (~256 bits), with < 16 distinct characters, or
below 128 bits Shannon entropy — so a weak/structured/repeated secret can
never be silently accepted. Enforced both at register() (friendly skip
reason) and in __init__ (raises — defence in depth).
- register(ctx): no-op + skip reason when HERMES_DASHBOARD_DRAIN_SECRET is
unset; rejects a weak secret fail-closed (drain endpoint stays gated). On a
strong secret, registers the provider AND opts /api/gateway/drain into the
generic token-auth seam via register_token_route().
Config: the secret is a CREDENTIAL → carried via HERMES_DASHBOARD_DRAIN_SECRET
(per-agent, provisioned by NAS at deploy). Behavioural knobs only
(dashboard.drain_auth.{scope,min_secret_chars}) live in config.yaml — added to
DEFAULT_CONFIG with the .env-is-for-secrets rationale documented inline.
Tests: tests/plugins/dashboard_auth/test_drain_provider.py — entropy gate
(strong pass; empty/short/repeated/few-distinct/custom-min reject), verify_token
(match → scoped principal, wrong/empty → None, custom scope), protocol
compliance, interactive-methods-raise, and register() (skip-no-secret,
fail-closed-weak-secret, strong-env-secret registers + route opt-in, config
scope + min_secret_chars). 21 new tests; drain + token-auth suites 44 passed.
Verified the plugin is discovered as dashboard_auth/drain alongside basic/nous.
Intentionally deferred:
- The begin/cancel-drain endpoint handler itself — Task 2.1.
- The dashboard→gateway control channel — Task 2.2.
Build status: dashboard-auth + drain-plugin suites green.
Task 2.0a of the safe-shutdown drain-coordination plan. Widens the dashboard
auth framework GENERICALLY to support non-interactive (service-to-service)
bearer-token auth, mirroring the existing supports_password precedent. This is
a reusable capability — any future machine-credential provider plugs in without
core changes (decisions.md Q-C). The drain bearer-secret plugin (Task 2.0b) is
the first consumer, not the definition.
- base.py: add TokenPrincipal dataclass (the token analog of Session) +
supports_token capability flag + verify_token() on the ABC (default raises
NotImplementedError so a misconfigured provider fails loud). Contract mirrors
verify_session stacking: return None for unrecognised tokens (never raise),
raise ProviderError only on a genuine backing-store outage.
- registry.py: list_token_providers() — the supports_token subset, in
registration order. Empty when none registered (token routes fail closed).
- token_auth.py (new): route-agnostic seam. Routes opt in via
register_token_route(exact path); token_auth_middleware owns the auth
decision for those routes only — authenticate via stacked providers, attach
request.state.token_principal + token_authenticated, pass through. 401 on
missing/unrecognised token, 503 when a provider was unreachable, untouched
passthrough for non-token routes. Fails closed (never open).
- web_server.py: install the seam OUTERMOST (registered last → runs first).
Both downstream gates (legacy auth_middleware + gated_auth_middleware) honour
request.state.token_authenticated and skip enforcement, so a token-authed
service request is never bounced to /login.
- audit.py: TOKEN_AUTH_SUCCESS / TOKEN_AUTH_FAILURE events.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_dashboard_token_auth.py — ABC flag default,
verify_token NotImplementedError, registry filter, bearer extraction
(case-insensitive scheme, malformed/non-bearer → ""), provider stacking
(first-match-wins, unreachable-remembered, unreachable-then-valid, buggy
provider doesn't crash the gate), and the seam's passthrough/401/503/
fail-closed behaviour. 29 new tests; full dashboard-auth suite 169 passed.
Intentionally deferred:
- The concrete shared-bearer-secret provider plugin — Task 2.0b.
- The begin/cancel-drain endpoint that registers itself as a token route —
Task 2.1.
Build status: dashboard-auth + plugin-hook suites green.
The known_c2_framework threat pattern included 'praxis' in its
alternation alongside genuine offensive-security tool brands (Cobalt
Strike, Sliver, Havoc, Mythic, Metasploit, Brainworm). Unlike those
distinctive brand names, 'praxis' is a common English word (Greek for
practice/action) and a legitimate agent name, so any context file that
mentioned an agent named Praxis matched at 'context' scope and the whole
AGENTS.md / SOUL.md was replaced with a [BLOCKED] placeholder before it
reached the system prompt.
Remove 'praxis' from the alternation and add a guard comment: every
token in this list must be a distinctive tool brand, not a common word.
Real C2 brands still fire.
The new _maybe_flag_poisoned_client tests built a provider via
get_or_build_provider without an interactive stdin. Under the hermetic
test env (no TTY, no cached tokens), the non-interactive guard in
mcp_oauth_manager._make_provider raised OAuthNonInteractiveError before
the provider was built, failing 6 tests in CI parity (they passed
locally where stdin was a TTY).
Thread monkeypatch into _provider_with_token_endpoint and present an
interactive stdin, matching the sibling test_manager_builds_hermes_provider_subclass.
Fixes#36767.
Two complementary recoveries for the recurring "delete three cache files and
re-auth by hand" ritual when an MCP server's dynamically-registered OAuth
client goes dead server-side (IdP redeploy / DB wipe / rebrand):
- Auto-heal (token-endpoint subset): HermesMCPOAuthProvider now sniffs
auth-flow responses and, on a 400/401 `invalid_client` from the discovered
token endpoint, backs up + deletes `<server>.client.json` and `.meta.json`
and clears the in-memory client so the SDK re-runs RFC 7591 dynamic client
registration on the next flow. Conservative by construction: only
dynamically-registered (non config-supplied) clients, only the token
endpoint, only on a word-boundary `invalid_client` match (so RFC 7591's
`invalid_client_metadata` does not trip it); best-effort so a miss never
breaks the live flow. Covers both code-exchange and refresh when the token
endpoint was discovered. Tokens are preserved.
- `hermes mcp reauth [<name>|--all]`: the reporter's primary symptom — the
IdP's in-browser "Redirect URI Mismatch" — produces no HTTP signal (the SDK
only sees a callback timeout), so it cannot be auto-detected. The new
command re-auths one or ALL `auth: oauth` servers, serially: one browser
flow at a time, which also fixes the startup popup storm when several
servers are stale at once. Single-server reauth is factored out of
`mcp login` and shared.
Tests: +14 (poison helper x2; token-endpoint detection x5 incl. wrong-endpoint,
success-response, pre-registered, and invalid_client_metadata negative guards;
a bridge integration test driving the real async_auth_flow generator to prove
the detection hook preserves the bidirectional asend() forwarding contract;
reauth CLI x6). Verified against the pinned mcp==1.26.0: scripts/run_tests.sh
122/122 green for the touched suites; check-windows-footguns.py and ruff clean.

Cut over the agent half of Shape A (D-Q1.5a/b.1/c) to front a SET of platforms on
one relay WS:
- relay_platform_identities() parses GATEWAY_RELAY_PLATFORMS (list) +
GATEWAY_RELAY_BOT_IDS (JSON keyed map {platform:{botId,username?}}). Cut over
from the scalar GATEWAY_RELAY_PLATFORM/_BOT_ID (no fallback, D-Q1.5c).
- self_provision_relay() loops one /relay/provision per platform under one
gatewayId+secret, partial-failure-tolerant.
- WebSocketRelayTransport takes the identity SET, sends one hello per identity
(connector accumulates the advertised set), and stamps the per-frame
OutboundFrame.platform + its matching advertised botId on outbound.
- RelayAdapter remembers each chat's underlying source.platform (mirroring the
existing guild/dm scope capture) and tags the reply's egress platform.
- send_relay_policy() declares one relevance policy per fronted platform (the
connector keys policy by (tenant,platform,instanceId)).
Single-platform deploys are byte-identical on the wire (1-element list, no per-frame
tag -> connector session-default fallback). typecheck/ruff clean; relay unit 221 pass
(+10 new); all 15 cross-repo E2E drivers green vs connector origin/main.
The gateway reconnect watcher (gateway/run.py) recovers a platform after a
fatal adapter error by building a fresh adapter and calling
connect(is_reconnect=True). Every BasePlatformAdapter implements
connect(*, is_reconnect: bool = False) for this — except RelayAdapter, whose
connect() was bare. So the watcher's recovery path raised:
TypeError: connect() got an unexpected keyword argument 'is_reconnect'
Observed live on a hosted staging agent: after a fatal relay adapter error the
watcher could never re-establish relay, so the shared-bot inbound never reached
the gateway and Discord DMs stopped (dashboard surfaced the TypeError).
Relay deliberately ignores the flag: the #46621 server-side-queue-preservation
concern doesn't apply, because relay's outage buffer is the connector's durable
buffer (replayed on the transport's re-handshake), not a gateway-side queue the
adapter owns. Routine WS drops are already handled by the transport's own
reconnect supervisor (WebSocketRelayTransport, reconnect=True); the watcher path
is fatal-error recovery, and the fatal handler disconnect()s the old adapter
(cancelling its supervisor) before a fresh adapter+transport is built, so there
is no double-dial.
Adds two regression tests (both proven red without the fix): connect(is_reconnect=True)
reaches the same transport-less RuntimeError instead of TypeError, and the
signature matches BasePlatformAdapter.connect.
When operator config has provider=anthropic with model.base_url pointing
at a non-Anthropic host (e.g. https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 with provider=anthropic),
the auxiliary Anthropic path was unconditionally applying that override.
Main-session traffic routed correctly because the main path attaches the
right credential for the actual destination, but every side-channel call
(memory extractors, reflection, vision, title generation, janus
extractor/promise) sent ANTHROPIC_API_KEY to the foreign host and 401'd.
Gate the override on hostname == api.anthropic.com. Operators routing main
through a non-Anthropic provider must use that provider's own auxiliary
client; the Anthropic aux path now stays pointed at api.anthropic.com.
Regression tests cover openrouter, openai, anthropic-with-path, empty, and
anthropic-default-base_url cases.
Ensure TUI/desktop stop targets the actual conversation thread and cancels any queued next prompt, including the lazy agent-start window, so a stopped session cannot keep running or restart itself.
Wire get_reasoning_stale_timeout_floor() into both stale detectors so known
reasoning models (Nemotron 3 Ultra, OpenAI o1/o3, Opus 4.x thinking, DeepSeek
R1, Qwen QwQ, Grok reasoning) tolerate multi-minute thinking phases instead of
the upstream gateway idle-killing the socket (BrokenPipeError) before first
token. Applied as max(default, floor) — never overrides explicit user config,
never lowers an existing threshold.
The reasoning_timeouts.py allowlist module already landed on main via #52795,
so this salvage carries only the wiring + tests (the duplicate module and the
stale-base MoA reverts from the original PR branch are dropped).
Salvaged from #52238. Fixes#52217.
The salvaged #51875 added a background-review write guard in skill_manage
that refuses mutations to skills.external_dirs skills — but it only fires
when is_background_review() is true. The curator's LLM review fork ran with
the default _memory_write_origin='assistant_tool', so the guard never
triggered during the exact curation pass it exists to protect against
(GH-47688).
- Set _memory_write_origin='background_review' on the curator review fork so
turn_context binds it onto the write-origin ContextVar and the guard fires.
- Add a regression test asserting the fork runs under the background_review
origin (the invariant linking the fork to the guard).
- AUTHOR_MAP: map yu-xin-c for the salvaged commit.
Force redact_sensitive_text(force=True) on the browser_type text arg so
recognized credentials (API keys, tokens, JWTs) are masked in tool
progress, previews, callbacks, and return payloads even when the global
security.redact_secrets opt-out is set — a typed credential reaching chat
history is a security boundary, not log hygiene. Normal typed text matches
no pattern and stays fully readable for debuggability.
Tests assert the API-key-shaped secret is masked across every surface and
that normal text passes through unchanged.
Stopping a turn while the model is streaming (stop/esc to redirect) raised
InterruptedError, set final_response to the throwaway "waiting for model
response" sentinel, and persisted messages WITHOUT the assistant text that
was already streamed to the screen. The next turn then had no record of the
half-finished reply, so the model appeared to "forget" what it just said.
Recover the on-screen text from _current_streamed_assistant_text in the
InterruptedError branch and append it as the assistant turn (and surface it
as final_response). The metadata sentinel is kept only when nothing was
streamed yet, preserving the ACP/client suppression behavior.
Completes the partial-stream recovery from 397eae5d9 (which wired the same
_current_streamed_assistant_text salvage into the connection-failure twin
but missed the user-interrupt path). The lossy handler dates to c98ee9852.
* feat(kanban): typed block reasons + unblock-loop breaker
Stops the kanban blocked-task loop: a worker blocks a task, a cron
unblocks it, the worker re-blocks for the same reason, repeat forever.
block_task now takes a typed kind and a persistent block_recurrences
counter on the tasks table:
- kind=dependency routes to todo (parent-gated, auto-resumed), never
the human 'blocked' bucket a cron would keep unblocking.
- needs_input/capability/transient/untyped land in blocked; each
same-cause re-block after an unblock increments block_recurrences,
and at BLOCK_RECURRENCE_LIMIT (default 2) the task routes to triage
for a human instead of blocked.
- unblock_task no longer resets block_recurrences (the amnesia that
let the loop run unbounded); complete_task clears it on success.
Wired through the worker kanban_block tool (new kind arg) and the
hermes kanban block --kind CLI flag, both reporting where the task
actually landed. Docs + 11 new tests; 536 existing kanban tests green.
* test(kanban): make second-block notify test use a distinct block cause
test_notifier_second_blocked_delivers blocked the same task twice with
the same (untyped) reason, which now trips the new unblock-loop breaker
and routes the second block to triage instead of blocked — so only one
'blocked' notification fired. The test's actual intent is that TWO
distinct block cycles each notify; give the two cycles different kinds
(needs_input then capability) so they're genuinely separate blocks. The
same-cause loop→triage path is covered by test_kanban_block_kinds.py.
After a prolonged outage the in-process network-error ladder escalates to
fatal and GatewayRunner._platform_reconnect_watcher rebuilds a fresh adapter
that reconnects through the bootstrap path. That path called
start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True), discarding every update Telegram
queued during the outage — all messages sent while the bot was down were
silently lost. The in-process ladder and 409-conflict handler already passed
drop_pending_updates=False; only bootstrap did not distinguish a cold first
boot from a reconnect.
Thread an is_reconnect signal from the watcher through
_connect_adapter_with_timeout into adapter.connect(). The base
BasePlatformAdapter.connect() gains a keyword-only is_reconnect=False so every
adapter inherits a tolerant signature (no per-platform breakage when the
runner forwards the kwarg). Telegram translates is_reconnect into
drop_pending_updates=not is_reconnect on both the polling and webhook bootstrap
calls. Cold boot still drops the stale queue; a watcher reconnect preserves it.
Fixes#46621.

When the primary provider raises AuthError (e.g. expired OAuth token),
_make_agent now walks the configured fallback_providers/fallback_model
chain before giving up — matching the behavior that cron/scheduler.py
and cli_agent_setup_mixin.py already have.
Fixes#47627
A readable state.db can still reject every message write through the
messages_fts* triggers when the FTS5 index is corrupt: base-table reads and
PRAGMA integrity_check pass, but INSERT INTO messages fails with 'database
disk image is malformed'. The gateway reloads conversation_history from disk
each turn, so a silently-failed write hands the next turn stale/empty history
even though the same cached AIAgent still holds the live transcript — causing
immediate same-session amnesia. (#50502)
- hermes_state.py: _db_opens_cleanly() now drives a rolled-back message write
through the FTS triggers, so write-only corruption (which the read-only
probe reported healthy) is detected. repair_state_db_schema() gains an
in-place FTS5 'rebuild' strategy (tier 0) before the dedup/drop tiers, plus
an already_healthy short-circuit. Both 'hermes sessions repair' and
'hermes doctor' route through these, so the fix covers the whole class.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: the state.db check runs the write-health probe even on
the success (readable) path and repairs in place with --fix.
- gateway/run.py: _select_cached_agent_history() prefers the cached agent's
longer live _session_messages over a shorter persisted transcript, so an
FTS write failure can't wipe in-session context.
- tests: regressions for write-health detection, in-place repair preserving
rows + resuming writes, the already_healthy shortcut, and the gateway guard.
Combines the approaches from #50504 (@0-CYBERDYNE-SYSTEMS-0, issue author),
#52165 (@davidgut1982), and #50576 (@trevorgordon981).
The email adapter authorized senders entirely off the From: header, which is
attacker-controlled and unauthenticated by IMAP. An attacker could forge
From: an-allowlisted-address and pass both the adapter's EMAIL_ALLOWED_USERS
pre-filter and the gateway's allowlist authz (both key on the same spoofable
sender_addr), getting unauthorized commands executed by the agent.
Verify the From: domain against the trusted Authentication-Results header the
receiving mail server stamps (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) before trusting it for
authorization. Enforced only when an allowlist is in effect and allow-all is
off — fail-closed. Operators whose server does not stamp the header can opt
out via platforms.email.require_authenticated_sender: false (or
EMAIL_TRUST_FROM_HEADER=true).
The scale-to-zero idle watcher never started on a correctly-opted-in,
relay-only instance, so the gateway never ran its idle decision, never called
go_dormant(), and never sent going_idle to the connector. Fly's autostop still
suspended the machine on traffic-idle, but the connector never flipped the
instance to buffered-only — so an inbound DM took the live delivery path,
found no live session for the suspended machine, and was dropped fail-closed
with no wake poke. The machine slept and never woke.
Root cause: _scale_to_zero_should_arm() passed list(config.platforms.keys())
to messaging_is_relay_only_or_absent(). config.platforms is pre-seeded with a
DISABLED placeholder PlatformConfig for every known platform (telegram,
discord, slack, matrix, …), so the key set is always the full ~20-entry
catalog regardless of what the instance actually runs. The relay-only check
discarded "relay", saw the disabled placeholders as live direct-socket
platforms, and returned False — so should_arm() was False and the watcher was
never created. Verified live on a staging instance: config.platforms keys =
[telegram, discord, slack, mattermost, matrix, relay] with only relay
enabled=True; should_arm() = False.
Fix: filter config.platforms to ENABLED entries before the relay-only check,
mirroring the adapter-connect loop which already gates on
`if not platform_config.enabled: continue`. This arms off the same notion of
"active platform" the rest of start() already uses — no parallel concept.
Also add a one-line not-armed diagnostic: when an instance IS opted in (the
HERMES_SCALE_TO_ZERO stamp is set) but the watcher still doesn't arm, log why
(relay_only_or_absent, the enabled platforms, wake_url present/missing). A
non-opted instance stays silent. The arm path previously logged only on
success, so a failed arm was invisible.
Tests: the existing pure-helper tests passed bare names so they never
exercised the call site that feeds the placeholder-laden config. Add
behaviour-contract tests against the REAL _scale_to_zero_should_arm with a
realistic config.platforms (relay enabled + others disabled). The F25
regression test (relay-only + disabled placeholders must arm) and the
no-platform case are RED without this fix, GREEN with it; the
genuinely-enabled-direct-platform / not-opted-in / no-wake-url cases stay
correctly non-arming so the filter can't over-broaden.
Wake mechanism itself verified healthy independently (direct wakeUrl GET
resumed a suspended staging instance in 1.15s, clean resume signature).
CredentialPool._sync_device_code_entry_to_auth_store rotated single-use
OAuth refresh tokens but wrote the new chain only into the active profile
store. When a profile resolves a grant from the global-root fallback
(read_credential_pool, #18594) and the pool then refreshes it, root was
left holding a now-revoked refresh token — every other profile reading the
stale root grant subsequently died with refresh_token_reused / invalid_grant
once its access token expired.
This is the credential-pool analog of #43589 (which fixed the non-pool xAI
refresh path in _save_xai_oauth_tokens). Detect the read-from-root case
(profile lacks its own providers.<id> block) BEFORE the profile save and,
after it, write the rotated chain back to the global root via a best-effort,
seat-belted write-through. A profile that genuinely shadows root (owns the
block) is untouched; classic mode (profile == root) is a no-op; a failed root
write never breaks the profile's own save. Covers openai-codex (reported),
xai-oauth, and nous through the shared sync path.
Prevents stage2-hook.sh recursive chown from following a symlinked $HERMES_HOME/home (or profiles/cron) and destroying the host user's home directory. Also guards top-level state-file chowns and refuses first-boot seeding through symlinks. Fixes#52781.

Two-part fix:
Part 1 (classifier override at agent/error_classifier.py:720-738):
A transport disconnect on a reasoning model — even on a large session —
now routes to FailoverReason.timeout instead of context_overflow. Without
this, large-session reasoning-model disconnects route to the compression
branch and silently delete conversation history on a phantom
context-length error. The override is strictly targeted: non-reasoning
models (gpt-4o, claude-3-5-sonnet, llama-3.3-70b, etc.) still route to
context_overflow on large sessions — the existing intentional behavior
for chat models whose proxy doesn't idle-kill during prefill/generation.
Part 2 (new agent/thinking_timeout_guidance.py + integration at
agent/conversation_loop.py:3488-3567):
New is_thinking_timeout() and build_thinking_timeout_guidance() helpers.
When a known reasoning model (NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra, OpenAI o1/o3,
Anthropic Opus 4.x thinking, DeepSeek R1, Qwen QwQ, xAI Grok reasoning)
hits a transport-kill on a small session (classifier says timeout
directly) or after Part 1 routes correctly (large session), the user
now sees reasoning-specific guidance with three actionable workarounds
in priority order:
1. Set providers.<provider>.models.<model>.stale_timeout_seconds: 900
in ~/.hermes/config.yaml (Hermes's built-in floor is already 600s
for known reasoning models; raise further if upstream is even
tighter).
2. Lower reasoning_budget or set reasoning_effort: medium on this
model if the provider supports it.
3. Use a smaller / faster reasoning model if the task doesn't
require deep thinking.
The new guidance takes precedence via if/elif over the existing
_is_stream_drop block, so a reasoning-model user with a transport-kill
message sees actionable advice instead of the misleading "try
execute_code with Python's open() for large files" advice (which is
correct for the unrelated large-file-write stream-drop case but
actively wrong for the thinking-timeout case).
Verified:
- 478 tests passing across 9 directly-relevant files (49 new + 429
existing, zero regressions).
- Ruff lint clean on all 4 modified/new files.
- Negative test: 6 parametrized regression guards confirm non-reasoning
models still route to context_overflow on large sessions; 4
parametrized gates confirm non-timeout classifier reasons never
trigger the guidance; 5 parametrized cases confirm non-transport
messages never trigger it.
- Regression guard: new guidance message does NOT contain
"execute_code" or "open()" — the misleading advice is fully
replaced, not appended alongside.
- Cross-vendor dual review via agy -p:
- Gemini 3.5 Flash (Medium) — passed: true, zero blockers, one
SHOULD-FIX (vprint block duplication — fixed by extracting
detection into a helper module).
- GPT-OSS 120B (Medium) — passed: true, zero blockers, two nits
(test placement — adopted at tests/agent/test_thinking_timeout_guidance.py;
primary-model capture — accepted as non-issue per Flash's nit).
Dependency note for maintainers:
This PR includes agent/reasoning_timeouts.py (the reasoning-model
allowlist module from PR #52238) because the Layer 1 override is
load-bearing on get_reasoning_stale_timeout_floor(). After PR #52238
lands on main, this PR's duplicate agent/reasoning_timeouts.py should
be rebased away. Either PR can land first; the other rebase is
mechanical.
Fixes#52271.
The #45966 cross-process coherence guard popped the stale cached agent
and then called the blocking _cleanup_agent_resources (memory-provider
shutdown, tool-resource teardown, async-client teardown) while still
holding _agent_cache_lock, on the gateway event-loop thread. While that
ran, _sweep_idle_cached_agents (driven by _session_expiry_watcher)
blocked acquiring the same lock and the asyncio loop stalled for minutes,
tripping repeated Discord 'heartbeat blocked' warnings.
Fix mirrors the cap-enforcer / idle-sweep paths: pop the stale entry
under the lock, release it, then schedule the SOFT release on a daemon
thread. The soft path (_release_evicted_agent_soft) is also more correct
here than the hard teardown the regression used — the same session
rebuilds a fresh agent immediately after invalidation, so its terminal
sandbox / browser / bg processes (keyed on task_id) must be preserved
for the rebuilt agent to inherit, not torn down.
Verified the cross-process site was the only cleanup-under-lock instance;
the other _cleanup_agent_resources call sites run outside the lock.
CI shard test_telegram_conflict.py timed out (140s) because the new
_polling_heartbeat_loop, started by connect(), busy-spun under those
tests: they monkeypatch asyncio.sleep to instant and pass a bot double
with no get_me(), so the probe raised AttributeError (swallowed) and the
loop re-entered immediately with no real pacing, starving the event loop.
Guard the loop to return when bot.get_me is not callable — a real PTB Bot
always exposes it, so this only triggers on a torn-down app or a test
double, where there is nothing to probe. Also cancel the heartbeat task in
the conflict tests that call connect() without disconnect(), matching the
production disconnect() teardown.
Verified: test_telegram_conflict.py now runs in ~4.5s; the 22
heartbeat/reconnect tests still pass; E2E confirms a hanging get_me still
fires the reconnect ladder while a missing get_me exits without spinning.
When a Telegram long-poll TCP socket enters CLOSE-WAIT (remote sent FIN
but httpx hasn't noticed), epoll still reports it readable so no
exception is raised. PTB's error_callback never fires, the reconnect
ladder never engages, and the gateway silently stops receiving messages
while the process stays alive — until a manual systemctl restart.
The existing recovery only covers two cases: error_callback-driven
reconnects (which require an exception PTB never gets) and a one-shot
_verify_polling_after_reconnect probe (which runs only right after an
explicit reconnect). A socket that wedges during steady-state operation
is never detected.
Add _polling_heartbeat_loop: a background asyncio.Task started in
connect() (polling mode only) that probes get_me() every 90s on the
general request pool (not the getUpdates pool, so healthy long-polls are
never interrupted). On asyncio.TimeoutError/OSError it hands off to the
existing _handle_polling_network_error ladder; other errors are
swallowed. disconnect() cancels and awaits the task. Worst-case
detection window ~105s.
Complementary to #51541 (general-pool keepalive limits / fd leak) — that
recycles idle pooled connections; this detects a wedged active read.
Fixes#48495

The desktop scheduler can overwrite cron/jobs.json with its own small
set of internally-tracked crons after an update/restart, causing
partial loss of tool-created cron jobs. The previous guard only
checked for total loss (live_count == 0), missing the case where
live_count > 0 but less than the pre-update snapshot count.
Compare live_count against snap_count instead of checking for zero,
so both total loss (0 vs N) and partial loss (1 vs 19) trigger
restoration.

Closes#52144
A top-level delegate_task dispatches in the background and re-enters as a
fresh turn when done. Print a one-line dispatch-time note — no spinner,
nothing to poll — so the idle prompt doesn't read as "nothing happened."
The detector folds absolute home / Hermes-home prefixes into their canonical
~/ and ~/.hermes/ forms so static patterns catch /home/alice/.bashrc the same
way they catch ~/.bashrc (abd69b81). On native Windows this fold never fired,
so terminal commands writing to shell startup files, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys,
or ~/.hermes/config.yaml / .env returned "safe" and skipped the approval
prompt — and config.yaml carries the approval policy itself.
Two compounding causes:
1. The fold ran after the backslash-escape strip (r\m -> rm), which dissolves
the backslash separators in a Windows path (C:\Users\alice\.bashrc ->
C:Usersalice...) before the fold could match. It now runs before the strip.
2. The fold only recognized POSIX absolute paths and only the home prefix,
leaving multi-segment backslash suffixes (\.ssh\authorized_keys) to be
mangled by the strip.
Consolidated into _home_prefix_fold_regex / _fold_home_prefixes: match a home
prefix with either separator, capture the rest of the path token, and
normalize its separators to / so multi-segment patterns match. The
degenerate-path guard generalizes count("/") >= 2 to "at least two components
below the root" (also rejecting a bare drive root C:\). HOME is consulted
directly because Windows' expanduser ignores it; the more specific Hermes home
is folded first, longest candidate first, so neither fold clobbers the other.
POSIX behavior unchanged; the r\m -> rm anti-obfuscation strip still runs.
Adds TestWindowsAbsolutePathFolding, which monkeypatches a Windows-style
HOME/HERMES_HOME so the behavior is also exercised on the CI runner.
Follow-up to the salvage of #45035 + #48682. The two PRs touched different
functions (resolve_resume_session_id vs get_compression_tip) but #45035's
descendant walk followed ANY parent_session_id child, so a delegate/subagent
child could hijack the resume target. Apply the same _branched_from /
_delegate_from / source!='tool' exclusion the rest of hermes_state.py uses,
so the resume walk only follows genuine compression continuations.
Also updates the unrealistic delegation test fixture to carry the real
_delegate_from marker, and updates 3 list_sessions_rich test mocks for the
order_by_last_active kwarg #48682 added.
AUTHOR_MAP: map PINKIIILQWQ + ailang323 salvage authors.
After context compression, the parent session holds pre-compression messages
and a child (or deeper descendant) holds the continuation.
resolve_resume_session_id() short-circuited when the input session already
had messages (row is not None -> return session_id), causing REST API
endpoints, gateway resume, and CLI resume to serve stale parent messages.
Remove the early-return. Walk the full descendant chain, record the
deepest node that has messages (best), and return best if not None
else the original session_id (preserving the empty-chain fallback).
Callers (api_server.py, web_server.py, cli_agent_setup_mixin.py,
cli_commands_mixin.py) all use the resolved != input -> redirect pattern
and are transparent to this change.
The pre-update HERMES_HOME zip shipped on by default (DEFAULT_CONFIG +
runtime fallback both True), so every `hermes update` zipped the entire
~/.hermes — sessions DB, caches, skills — adding minutes to each update.
The shipped cli-config.yaml.example, the --backup help, and the example
config all already said "off by default," so the live default
contradicted its own documentation.
Flip the default to off everywhere: DEFAULT_CONFIG, the runtime
`.get(..., False)` fallback in _run_pre_update_backup, and the stale
--backup help string. Users who want the #48200 safety net opt in via
updates.pre_update_backup: true or --backup for a single run.
Updated test_default_enabled_creates_backup -> test_default_disabled_is_silent
to assert the new default (silent no-op, no zip).
