* feat(delegation): async background subagents via delegate_task(background=true)
delegate_task(background=true) dispatches a subagent that runs in the
background and returns a handle immediately, so the user and model keep
working while it runs. The full result — plus the original task source —
re-enters the conversation as a new turn when the subagent finishes,
riding the same completion-queue rail as terminal background processes.
- tools/async_delegation.py: daemon-executor registry, capacity cap,
rich self-contained completion event pushed onto the shared
process_registry.completion_queue (type='async_delegation').
- delegate_tool.py: background param + single-task dispatch branch;
batch async rejected (v1).
- process_registry.py: format_process_notification renders the rich
task-source block (goal/context/toolsets/model/status/result).
- gateway/run.py: dedicated _async_delegation_watcher drains + injects
results into the originating session (idle + post-turn), session_key
routing enrichment, shutdown interrupt of dangling delegations.
- config: delegation.max_async_children (default 3).
Reuses the existing idle-drain wiring rather than mutating a running
agent loop, preserving message-role alternation and prompt-cache
invariants. 13 targeted tests; CLI + gateway paths E2E-verified.
* test(delegation): make async non-blocking tests environment-independent
CI 'test (5)' flaked on a cold, 8-worker runner: the first
delegate_task(background=true) call measured 2.27s of one-time setup
(config load + child-agent construction + imports), tripping the
elapsed < 1.0 wall-clock assertion. That assertion was testing setup
overhead, not blocking.
Replace the wall-clock thresholds with the real invariant: dispatch
returns while the child is still gated (active_count == 1, completion
queue empty), which a synchronous impl could not do. Keep only a loose
4s sanity backstop well under the runner's 5s gate.
* fix(delegation): harden async background delegation
Follow-up review fixes:
- Detach background child from parent._active_children at dispatch —
otherwise parent-turn interrupts (Ctrl+C, mid-turn steering), cache
evicts (release_clients), and session close (/new) kill/close the
detached subagent mid-run, defeating the point of background mode.
Lifecycle is owned by the async registry's interrupt_fn.
- Make the capacity check atomic with the record insert (TOCTOU: two
concurrent dispatches could both pass active_count() and exceed the cap).
- TUI dedup: key async_delegation events by delegation_id — the
fallthrough keyed them all as ("", type), suppressing every completion
after the first in the desktop/TUI status feed.
- CLI /stop now interrupts running background delegations and /agents
lists them (they live outside the process registry and were invisible).
- Drop stray unbalanced ']' line from the re-injection block and the
unused _ASYNC_DEFAULT import.
Tests: detach-at-dispatch + concurrent-capacity race added (15 total in
test_async_delegation.py); 137 delegate + 140 process-registry/notify/watch
+ 7 TUI dedup tests pass.
* fix(delegation): harden async background completion drains
* feat(billing): /usage → portal top-up browser handoff
Add the terminal side of the billing slice (phase 2a): start a top-up by
throwing the user to the portal billing page with the top-up modal open. The
terminal does not confirm, poll, or track payment — checkout completes in the
browser and the next /usage shows the new balance.
- nous_account.py: parse organisation.slug/name from /api/oauth/account into
NousPortalAccountInfo; add nous_portal_topup_url() building the org-pinned
{base}/orgs/{slug}/billing?topup=open with a null-slug fallback to the legacy
{base}/billing?topup=open (never /orgs/None/...).
- portal_cli.py: 'hermes portal topup' — fresh account fetch, identity line
(Topping up as <email> / org <name>), browser open with printed-URL fallback,
no-wait closing copy. No polling/confirmation (deferred to 2b).
- account_usage.py: the shared /usage credits block now links the org-pinned
top-up URL (auto-opens the modal) + points to the command.
Depends on NAS #409 (organisation.slug/name + ?topup=open). Do not merge until
that is live on the target env; until then /api/oauth/account returns
organisation: { id } only and the URL falls back to legacy.
* feat(billing): /credits command for balance + top-up handoff
Replace the standalone `hermes portal topup` subcommand with an in-session
/credits slash command — a focused money surface (balance in, top-up out) that
works in the CLI, TUI, and every messaging platform from one registry entry.
- commands.py: register /credits (Info category). Slack is at its 50-slash cap,
so /credits is routed via /hermes credits on Slack only (new
_SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY set) to avoid clamping a canonical command off the
native list and breaking Telegram parity; native everywhere else.
- account_usage.py: build_credits_view() — one portal fetch → balance lines +
identity line + org-pinned top-up URL + depleted flag, consumed by all
surfaces. Reuses the same snapshot/URL builder as /usage so numbers match.
- cli.py: _show_credits() — balance block + identity line + 3-button panel
(Open top-up / Copy link / Cancel) via the existing prompt_toolkit modal.
ASK, never auto-launch; headless falls back to printing the URL.
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _handle_credits_command() — renders the block +
tappable top-up URL + no-wait copy; works on button and plain-text platforms.
- /usage credits line now points to /credits.
- Retire `hermes portal topup` (portal_cli.py back to baseline); the engine
(slug/name parse + nous_portal_topup_url) stays as the shared core.
No polling, no payment confirmation (billing phase 2a). Depends on NAS #409.
* fix(credits): /credits works in the TUI slash-worker (non-interactive)
In the TUI, /credits runs in the slash-worker subprocess where there is no
live prompt_toolkit app and stdin is the JSON-RPC pipe. _show_credits called
the 3-button modal unconditionally, which fell back to reading stdin →
exception → slash.exec rejected → the command produced no output (only the
pre-existing 'Credit access paused' banner showed).
- _show_credits: when self._app is None (TUI worker / piped / non-interactive),
render the text variant — balance block + tappable top-up URL + no-wait line,
same affordance as the messaging surfaces — and skip the modal entirely. The
3-button panel still renders in the interactive CLI.
- Depleted banner copy: 'run /usage for balance' → 'run /credits to top up'
now that /credits is the dedicated money surface (+ tests).
- Regression tests: _show_credits with self._app=None renders text and never
invokes the modal; logged-out path.
* feat(tui): credits.view RPC for the /credits tappable top-up button
Add a credits.view JSON-RPC method returning the structured CreditsView
(logged_in, balance_lines, identity_line, topup_url, depleted) so the TUI can
render a clickable <Link> top-up button instead of plain text. Account-
independent (portal fetch gated on a logged-in Nous account), fail-open to
{logged_in: false} on any hiccup. Mirrors session.usage's credits-block pattern.
Frontend (TUI-local /credits command + Ink component) lands separately.
* feat(tui): /credits command with keyboard-driven top-up confirm
TUI-local /credits: fetches the structured balance via the credits.view RPC,
prints the balance + identity + top-up URL, then arms the EXISTING confirm
overlay (Enter = open top-up in browser via openExternalUrl, Esc = cancel).
Reuses ConfirmReq — no new overlay component/state/input handler. Headless
(openExternalUrl returns false) falls back to printing the URL.
- gatewayTypes.ts: CreditsViewResponse.
- commands/credits.ts: the command (mirrors /status's rpc+guarded pattern).
- registry.ts: register creditsCommands.
- test: balance+overlay armed, headless fallback, no-url, logged-out (4 cases).
Matches the CLI /credits 'Enter to open' affordance. Phase 2a: no polling.
Modal prompt panels (dangerous-command approval, clarify questions)
live in the prompt_toolkit layout and vanish on the next repaint,
leaving no trace of the question or the decision in chat history.
Emit a dim one-line summary after each prompt resolves:
⚠ Approval: <command> → allowed for session
? Clarify: <question> → <answer>
Gated on display.persist_prompts (default true). Detail and outcome
are whitespace-collapsed and capped at 120 chars.
Reworks the chat-line UX: pick a recipe by name and the agent asks you for
what it needs, one question at a time, instead of forcing you to hand-type a
slot=val command line.
- /cron-recipe -> lists the catalog
- /cron-recipe <name> -> forgiving name match (exact/prefix/substring/
fuzzy; ambiguous lists candidates), then seeds
the agent with a natural-language fill request
built from the recipe's typed slots + schedule
and prompt templates. The agent asks for each
value one at a time and calls the EXISTING
cronjob tool. No new tool.
- /cron-recipe <name> slot=val -> unchanged deterministic path (fill_recipe ->
create_job) for the dashboard/docs/power user.
Mechanism (no new plumbing, invariant-safe — the seed enters as a normal user
turn, never a synthetic injection):
- shared handler returns RecipeCommandResult{text, agent_seed}; match_recipe()
and build_recipe_seed() are the new shared pieces.
- gateway: dispatch rewrites event.text to the seed and falls through to the
agent (the same pattern /steer uses).
- CLI: handler sets a one-shot self._pending_agent_seed; the interactive loop
consumes it right after process_command() and runs it as the next turn.
The typed-slot schema stays the single source of truth (still validates the
form/inline path via fill_recipe); the agent path just renders those slots into
the questions to ask. Docs updated to lead with the name-then-ask flow.
A 'recipe' is a one-place definition of an automation that every surface
renders natively. The slot schema (cron/recipe_catalog.py) is the single
source of truth; four renderers consume it, and all paths end at the same
cron.jobs.create_job — no second job engine.
Form where there's a screen, conversation where there's a chat line:
- Dashboard / GUI app: a Recipes sub-tab on the Cron page renders each
recipe's typed slots as a form (time-picker, enum dropdown, free-text);
submit POSTs /api/cron/recipes/instantiate which fills + creates the job.
- CLI / TUI / messengers: /cron-recipe lists the catalog, shows a recipe's
fields, or fills + creates from a pasted 'key slot=val' command. The shared
handler (hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py) names any missing/invalid slot so
the agent can ask a targeted follow-up.
- Docs: a generated Cron Recipes catalog page (website, .mdx + React cards)
shows each recipe with a copy-paste command and a 'Send to App' button.
- Desktop: a hermes:// URL scheme (Electron single-instance lock +
setAsDefaultProtocolClient + open-url/second-instance) routes
hermes://cron-recipe/<key>?slot=val into the chat composer pre-filled.
Typed slots (time/enum/text/weekdays) with defaults: users never type raw
cron — recipes parameterize time-of-day and weekday sets and translate to
cron expressions; a free-text 'schedule' slot is the full-flexibility escape
hatch. Consent-first throughout: nothing schedules without an explicit submit
or send.
Core:
- cron/recipe_catalog.py — CronRecipe + RecipeSlot, 5 curated recipes,
recipe_form_schema / recipe_slash_command / recipe_deeplink /
recipe_catalog_entry renderers, fill_recipe (validate + translate to
create_job kwargs).
- hermes_cli/cron_recipe_cmd.py — shared /cron-recipe handler (CLI + TUI +
gateway never drift). CommandDef + dispatch in commands.py / cli.py /
gateway/run.py.
Dashboard: GET /api/cron/recipes + POST /api/cron/recipes/instantiate
(web_server.py), CronRecipes.tsx gallery+form, Segmented sub-tab on CronPage,
api.ts methods + types.
Desktop: hermes:// scheme end to end (main.cjs deep-link router + ready-queue,
preload onDeepLink/signalDeepLinkReady, global.d.ts types, desktop-controller
composer prefill, electron-builder protocols key).
Docs: extract-cron-recipes.py generator wired into prebuild.mjs,
cron-recipes-catalog.mdx + CronRecipesCatalog React component, sidebar entry.
Generated index json gitignored like skills.json.
Tests: 23 core (catalog/slots/schedule-resolution/validation/renderers/command
handler/generator) + 5 web_server endpoint tests. E2E verified end to end:
slot fill -> create_job -> persisted job with correct schedule/deliver/origin.
Adds an idle clock to the context/status bar in both the prompt_toolkit CLI
and the Ink TUI: once a turn completes, a dim '✓ <elapsed>' segment shows how
long the session has been idle since the last final agent response. Hidden
while a turn is live (the per-prompt elapsed timer covers that) and before
the first turn completes.
- cli.py: track _last_turn_finished_at when the agent thread exits, surface
it via _format_idle_since() in the snapshot, render in both the wide
fragments path and the plain-text fallback.
- ui-tui: stamp lastTurnEndedAt when busy flips false after a live turn,
thread it through appStatus -> StatusRule, render via a ticking IdleSince
segment sharing the duration breakpoint/width budget.
User-defined quick_commands from config.yaml now appear in the /help
output under a "Quick Commands" section, between skill commands and tips.

* feat(agent): coding-context posture with per-model edit-format tuning
Hermes detects when it's running in a coding context — an interactive
surface (CLI, TUI, ACP, desktop) sitting in a code workspace (git repo or
recognised project root) — and shifts into a coding posture. Outside that
(chat platforms, non-workspaces) nothing changes.
The posture is modelled as a frozen RuntimeMode selected from a small
ContextProfile registry (coding/general). A profile is data: the toolset to
collapse to, the operating brief to inject, and seams for model routing and
memory. Every domain reads the same resolved object instead of re-probing
git/config on its own:
- System prompt — RuntimeMode.system_blocks(): an operating brief (gather
context before editing, edit through tools not chat, verify with terminal,
cap retry loops) plus a live git/workspace snapshot, built once and baked
into the stable prompt tier so per-conversation caching is preserved.
- Per-model edit-format tuning — the brief nudges each model family toward
the patch mode it handles best: OpenAI/Codex toward mode='patch' (V4A
multi-file diffs), Anthropic toward mode='replace' (string replacement).
The model id rides on RuntimeMode; unknown families keep neutral wording.
- Skill index — non-coding skill categories are pruned from the prompt's
skill index (discovery-only; skills_list/skill_view still reach the full
catalog, with a disclosure note).
- Toolset — only under the opt-in 'focus' mode does the posture collapse to
the coding toolset + enabled MCP servers; the default posture is
prompt-only and never overrides configured toolsets.
Activation via agent.coding_context: auto (default), focus, on, off.
Subagents inherit the posture for free via toolset inheritance + the shared
prompt builder. Detection is not memoized so a long-lived gateway/TUI
process can't pin a stale posture across working directories.
* feat(agent): cover new-file authoring in the coding edit-format nudge
The per-model edit-format guidance only addressed editing existing code
(patch mode='patch' vs 'replace'), but authoring a brand-new file —
write_file, not patch — is a large fraction of real coding work and the
nudge was silent on it. Surfaced when building a single-file artifact where
the dominant operation was write_file and the steering offered no guidance.
Both family lines now lead with "author new files with write_file; for
edits to existing code prefer ...". Tests assert write_file appears in each
family's brief; unknown families still get neutral wording.
* docs(agent): correct memoization docstring + clarify TUI config-load asymmetry
* feat(agent): sharpen the coding posture — verify-loop facts, wider edit steering, $HOME guard
Tuning pass on the coding posture from dogfooding it as a harness:
- Workspace snapshot now hands the model its verify loop up front:
detected manifests + package manager (lockfile sniff), the exact
verify commands (package.json scripts, Makefile targets,
scripts/run_tests.sh, pytest config), and which context files
(AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / .cursorrules) exist at the root. Marker-only
(non-git) projects get the snapshot too instead of nothing. The
"verify before claiming done" brief line was the highest-value piece
in evals — this turns it from advice into an executable loop instead
of making the model rediscover the test command every session. Still
stat-cheap, size-guarded reads, built once at prompt time.
- Edit-format steering covers the families Hermes actually serves:
Gemini and open-weight coding models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM,
Grok, Hermes, Llama, Mistral, Devstral, MiniMax) steer to
mode='replace' — their RL scaffolds use str_replace-style editors.
Previously only GPT/Codex and Claude families got steering; the
models Hermes users disproportionately run all fell to neutral.
- Operating brief gains four behaviors elite harnesses encode: batch
independent reads/searches in one turn; fix root causes and the bug
class (sibling call paths), not the reported site; no drive-by
refactors/renames/reformatting; never read, print, or commit secrets.
Plus a patch-failure escalation ladder: after the same region fails
twice, rewrite the enclosing function/file with write_file instead of
a third patch attempt.
- $HOME dotfiles guard: a git repo rooted exactly at the home directory
(or a marker sitting in it, e.g. a global ~/AGENTS.md) is user config,
not a code workspace — without the guard, every session anywhere under
a dotfiles-managed home silently flipped to the coding posture. Real
projects under such a home still detect via their own markers/repos;
'on' mode bypasses the guard.
CI caught tests/cli/test_cli_new_session.py asserting that /new keeps
the old session row when conversation history exists in memory. The
live transcript is authoritative: a session whose messages haven't
flushed to the DB yet (or whose flush failed) must not be pruned.
Guard _discard_session_if_empty on self.conversation_history and pin
the behavior with a test.
Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#27770: starting the CLI and
immediately quitting (or rotating with /new, /clear) left an empty
untitled session row behind. These ghost rows pile up in /resume,
`hermes sessions list`, and the in-chat recent-sessions browser.
- SessionDB.delete_session_if_empty(): transactional check-and-delete
that only removes rows with no messages, no title, and no child
sessions (delegate subagent parents are preserved). Also removes
on-disk transcript files via the existing _remove_session_files.
- HermesCLI._discard_session_if_empty(): thin wrapper, wired into the
cli_close shutdown path and the new_session() rotation path.
Skipped when /exit --delete already handles removal.
Unlike the one-shot prune_empty_ghost_sessions migration (TUI-only,
24h-old rows), this prevents new ghost rows from accumulating at the
moment they would be created.
Rebased onto current main and re-ported across the restructured
surfaces: model flows now thread confirm_provider/base_url/api_key
through hermes_cli/model_setup_flows.py, the Discord picker lives in
plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py, and the web dashboard picker
applies chat-mode switches via config.set so the expensive-model
confirmation can ride the response.

Adds memory.write_mode and skills.write_mode (on|off|approve), applied to
both foreground turns and the background self-improvement review fork — the
source of the unprompted 'wrong assumption' saves users reported.
- on (default): write freely, unchanged behaviour
- off: never write; the tool returns a clean disabled result
- approve: don't commit. Memory foreground writes prompt inline (small,
reviewable in a chat bubble); background memory writes and ALL skill writes
stage to a pending store instead (a SKILL.md is too large to review inline,
and a daemon thread can't block on a prompt)
Review staged writes from CLI or any messaging platform:
/memory pending|approve|reject|mode
/skills pending|approve|reject|diff|mode
Skill review respects the size asymmetry: inline you see a one-line gist;
the full unified diff stays out-of-band (/skills diff, dashboard, or the
staged JSON file).
New: tools/write_approval.py (gate + pending store), hermes_cli/
write_approval_commands.py (shared CLI+gateway handlers). Gates wired at the
single entry points memory_tool() and skill_manage(), using the existing
write-origin ContextVar to distinguish foreground from background_review.
The /plugins slash command read from the live PluginManager, which only
knows about *loaded* plugins. A freshly-installed plugin that hadn't been
enabled yet showed 'No plugins installed. Drop plugin directories into
~/.hermes/plugins/' — even though it was on disk and a valid plugin.
Switch to the same disk-discovery path as 'hermes plugins list'
(_discover_all_plugins + enabled/disabled sets + _plugin_status), so an
installed plugin now appears with its activation state ([not enabled],
enabled, or disabled) plus the exact enable command.
Default the quick /plugins view to user-installed plugins and summarize
bundled providers/platforms on one line (the full catalog stays behind
'hermes plugins list') so the output isn't drowned by 60+ bundled
provider plugins.
Native Windows bypassed the destructive-slash modal and fell back to a raw
input() prompt. When the confirm was triggered from the process_loop daemon
thread (the normal case), that input() deadlocked against prompt_toolkit's
main-thread stdin ownership: bare /reset froze with Ctrl-C swallowed, while
/reset now worked only because it skips the prompt. Route native Windows
through the existing call_soon_threadsafe modal path (the same key-binding
channel that already handles normal typing on Windows); keep the stdin
fallback only for the safe no-app / scheduling-failure cases, and clean-cancel
(None) off the main thread on win32 so a degraded path never re-deadlocks.
Addresses #33961
Refs #30768
quiet_mode was being used to suppress tool-result display when
tool_progress_mode was 'off'. But quiet_mode also gates operational
status messages, so users with /verbose + tool-progress off lost all
status output.
Adds a dedicated tool_progress_mode attribute to AIAgent; the
tool_executor result-rendering path gates on tool_progress_mode != 'off'.
The CLI passes its tool_progress_mode through agent setup and the
tool-progress cycle command syncs it onto the live agent.
Fixes#33860.
prompt_toolkit's ANSI parser does not handle OSC escape sequences
(\x1b]...\x07 / \x1b]...\x1b\), which caused Rich's [link=...] markup
to leak raw OSC 8 payload into the banner title after /clear.
Added _OSC_ESCAPE_RE to strip OSC sequences in ChatConsole.print()
before routing through _cprint(). CSI/SGR color sequences are
preserved. Visible text between OSC sequences is kept intact.
Lift the 5 agent-construction/session-resume methods out of HermesCLI into
hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py:CLIAgentSetupMixin. Behavior-neutral; cli.py
14139 -> 13492 LOC.
Methods moved (~647 LOC): _ensure_runtime_credentials, _resolve_turn_agent_config,
_init_agent, _preload_resumed_session, _display_resumed_history. All self.* calls
resolve unchanged via the MRO (HermesCLI(CLIAgentSetupMixin, CLICommandsMixin)).
Import split (same recipe as #41942): 2 neutral deps (sys, _escape) imported at
the mixin module top; 12 cli.py-internal helpers/constants (AIAgent, ChatConsole,
CLI_CONFIG, _cprint, _DIM, _RST, _accent_hex, ...) imported lazily per-method
(from cli import ...) so the mixin never imports cli at module scope -> no cycle.
Repointed one source-inspection change-detector (test_callable_api_key.py) to read
the mixin file where the method now lives.
Lift the `_handle_*_command` cluster (2,077 LOC) out of HermesCLI into
hermes_cli/cli_commands_mixin.py; HermesCLI now inherits CLICommandsMixin so
every self.<handler> call resolves unchanged via the MRO. Behavior-neutral.
Import discipline mirrors gateway/slash_commands.py (PR #41886): neutral deps
imported at the mixin module top level; cli.py-internal helpers/constants
(_cprint, _ACCENT, save_config_value, ...) imported lazily inside each handler
via 'from cli import ...' so the mixin never imports cli at module scope.
cli.py 16215 -> 14139 LOC. One test mock repointed (cli.is_browser_debug_ready
-> hermes_cli.cli_commands_mixin.is_browser_debug_ready).
In classic CLI mode the dangerous-command approval prompt (and the clarify,
sudo, and secret-capture prompts) could fail to render: the user saw
'⏱ Timeout — denying command' after 60s without ever seeing the panel,
making approvals.mode: manual unusable.
Root cause. These prompts run their wait loop on the agent/background thread:
they set modal state that a ConditionalContainer's filter reads, then call
self._invalidate() to repaint so the panel appears. _invalidate() is a
THROTTLED wrapper built for high-frequency background repaints (spinner frames,
streaming) — it (a) returns early while a SIGWINCH resize-recovery is pending,
and (b) otherwise only repaints if 250ms elapsed since the last paint. Under
either condition the modal's entry paint is silently dropped, the
ConditionalContainer never re-evaluates, and the prompt times out unseen.
The throttle never belonged on these paths. Originally the callbacks painted
with a direct self._app.invalidate() and worked; a throttle PR blanket-replaced
every invalidate (including these rare, one-shot, user-blocking modal paints)
with the throttled _invalidate(); a later commit removed an idle 1Hz repaint
that had been masking dropped modal paints, surfacing the bug. Notably the
modal KEY-BINDING handlers (↑/↓/Enter) already paint with a direct
event.app.invalidate(), never the throttle — the background-thread callbacks
were the inconsistent ones.
Fix. Add a small _paint_now() helper that paints directly (guarded for a
missing _app, exception-safe) and route the four modal paths' entry, response,
countdown, and teardown paints through it — matching the key-handler idiom.
This covers approval, clarify, sudo, and the secret-capture teardown
(_submit_secret_response, which previously used the throttled _invalidate() so
its panel could linger after submit). _invalidate() is left untouched and its
docstring now states it is for high-frequency background repaints only;
modal/interactive paints must use _paint_now()/_app.invalidate() directly. This
also fixes the resize-recovery edge case for free (a direct paint never
consults the resize guard) without a throttle-bypass flag that could be
cargo-culted onto hot paths. Countdown refresh cadence tightened 5s->1s so the
timer stays visible while waiting, and a copy-pasted duplicate countdown block
in _clarify_callback is removed.
Tests: TestModalPaintNow drives all three wait-loop callbacks on a background
thread with BOTH gates active (_resize_recovery_pending=True + a recent
_last_invalidate in the throttle window) and asserts the panel paints on entry
AND repaints on teardown; plus a secret-teardown test, a direct
_paint_now-vs-_invalidate gate test, and a no-_app safety test. Each modal test
fails if its paint is reverted to _invalidate(). 17 in-file tests pass; full
tests/cli suite green (900).
Diagnosis credit: the throttle-drop root cause was identified by @sanidhyasin
in #41116; @islam666 independently reached the same direct-invalidate approach
in #41166; original report #41098 by @jodonnel.
process_command() is typed -> bool, but the /clear, /new, and /undo
cancel paths did a bare `return` (None) when _confirm_destructive_slash
was declined, leaking None through the bool contract. Return True
(command handled, keep the REPL alive) on cancel.

* feat(tui): HERMES_DEV_CREDITS live-spend dev readout (L0 tracer for usage-aware credits)
L0 of the usage-aware-credits feature: a dev-only, env-gated tracer that
exercises the real header -> CreditsState -> TUI pipe end-to-end behind
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS, de-risking the L1/L5 build before the notice policy exists.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: CreditsState + parse_credits_headers (headers are
strings -> paid_access via == "true", never bool(); retain-last-known; only
subscription_micros may be negative; *_usd kept verbatim).
- run_agent.py: _capture_credits / get_credits_state / get_credits_spent_micros,
session-start baseline latch, + dev-gated "credits" capture log.
- agent/chat_completion_helpers.py: capture on the streaming response.
- agent/agent_init.py: init _credits_state + _credits_session_start_micros.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage emits dev_credits_spent_micros only when flagged.
- ui-tui appChrome.tsx / types.ts: cents delta status segment + "(dev credits)" banner.
Off by default; silent for normal users. Validated live against staging
(capture log delta matches the TUI segment). Throwaway consumer (readout/log/
banner); credits_tracker + the capture plumbing are the real feature foundation.
* test(credits): lock parser under 9-state matrix + harden validation (L2)
Add tests/agent/test_credits_tracker.py with 92 tests covering the 9-state
matrix (healthy, sub_90pct, grant_exhausted, purchased_only, tool_pool_free,
depleted, debt, missing, no_org) plus validation edge cases: version strict==1
with warn-once latch for v>1, bool-string trap (paid_access/tool_pool_gated_off
== "true"/"false", never bool()), half-pair subscription limit treated as
both-absent while parse succeeds, USD regex ^-?\d+\.\d{2}$, non-int micros
→ None, negative non-subscription micros → None, as_of_ms junk → None, zero
limit ZeroDivision guard.
Harden agent/credits_tracker.py to match the spec:
- Add tool_pool_micros/tool_pool_gated_off/from_header fields to CreditsState
- Add depleted property (== not paid_access, never remaining==0)
- Change used_fraction guard to key off subscription_limit_micros (the actual
denominator) not denominator_kind (metadata)
- Replace fail-soft _safe_int with a sentinel-returning variant; full validation
now returns None on any malformed field rather than silently defaulting
- Add module-level warn-once latch for version > 1
- Add USD regex validation; add denominator_kind allow-list check
- Parse x-nous-tool-pool-* prefix headers (not x-nous-credits-tool-pool-*)
* feat(credits): notice spine — AgentNotice + notice_callback/notice_clear_callback + TUI binding (L1)
L1 of usage-aware credits: the driver-agnostic notice delivery spine that L4's
policy will fire through and L5's TUI render will consume.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: AgentNotice dataclass (text/level/kind/ttl_ms/key/id;
kind defaults "sticky", kept TTL-expressive for a future config seam).
- run_agent.py: AIAgent gains notice_callback + notice_clear_callback slots and
_emit_notice / _emit_notice_clear emitters (swallow all callback errors — a
notice must never break the agent loop; no-op when unbound).
- agent/agent_init.py: thread both callbacks through init_agent.
- tui_gateway/server.py: bind both in _agent_cbs → notification.show / notification.clear
WS events (snake_case payload, matching the existing gateway-event convention).
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts: notification.show / notification.clear arms on GatewayEvent.
- tests/run_agent/test_notice_spine.py: 15 tests (emitter fire + fail-open + no-op,
signature threading, TUI binding payload shape).
Messaging push is out of v1 (binds neither callback). CLI binding + the TUI render/
decode land with L4 (firing) and L5 (render) so turn-end flush is wired correctly.
* feat(credits): threshold reconciliation policy + tests (L4.1)
* feat(credits): wire threshold policy into capture + latch (L4.2)
After a fresh header parse, _capture_credits runs evaluate_credits_notices against
the agent's _credits_latch and emits the result — clears first, then shows (so a
recovered depletion clears before the "restored" success lands, and depleted wins
the latest-wins slot). Gated on a bound notice_callback: messaging (no callbacks)
still caches state for /usage but runs no policy. Parse stays fail-open (miss →
keep last-known); the eval/emit path warns on failure rather than swallowing, so a
depletion-notice bug can't vanish silently.
- run_agent.py: _capture_credits split into parse (swallow→miss) + policy (warn);
latch lazy-guarded (object.__new__ safety).
- agent/agent_init.py: init agent._credits_latch = {"active": set(), "seen_below_90": False}.
* feat(tui): render credits notices in the status bar (L5, Strategy B)
The TUI now renders the notification.show / notification.clear gateway events the
agent emits — a level-colored notice overrides the status/verb slot when not busy.
- Notice state machine on turnController (pendingNotice + dedicated noticeTimer +
show/clear/applyNotice/flushPendingNotice/clearNoticeState). createGatewayEventHandler
decodes the events and delegates.
- Render priority busy > notice > status (appChrome StatusRule); notice text rendered
verbatim (its glyph comes from the policy), shrinkable so it never clips model│ctx;
dev-credits banner + Δ segment preserved. UiState.notice is snake_case (matches wire).
- Busy-wins: a notice arriving mid-turn is held and flushed at the THREE turn-end sites
(recordMessageComplete / interruptTurn / recordError) — never idle(), which reset()
also calls (would leak across sessions); reset() clears instead.
- Dedicated noticeTimer (never statusTimer); TTL starts on visibility with an id-guard;
latest-wins cancels the prior timer; clear is key-matched (no-op on mismatch); a sticky
survives a turn (flush no-ops with no pending); session reset clears (no cross-session leak).
- 20 tests (handler/turnController logic incl. R3-C2 timer isolation + render priority).
* feat(credits): cold-start seed for new Nous sessions (L3)
A genuinely-new Nous session has no inference header yet, so seed credits state from
the authoritative GET /api/oauth/account snapshot at session start (in the new-session
branch of _restore_or_build_system_prompt — inline, since the on_session_start plugin
hook gets no agent reference). The seed runs the shared notice policy, so a session that
opens already depleted warns IMMEDIATELY rather than only after the first turn.
- Maps the nested account fields (paid_service_access → paid_access; total_usable /
subscription / purchased on paid_service_access_info; rollover on subscription), each
None-guarded; float dollars → micros via round(d*1e6), *_usd left "" (render formats
from micros — never synthesize a verbatim usd from a float).
- Magnitudes-only: no monthlyCredits on the endpoint → subscription_limit_* unset →
used_fraction None → no warn90 from the seed (% only once a header lands, per D-E).
- Provider-guarded to Nous; fail-open (any error leaves _credits_state None, never
blocks startup); paid_access unknown ⇒ True (never falsely depleted).
- run_agent.py: extracted the warm-path policy/emit block into a shared
_emit_credits_notices() so capture and the seed fire notices identically.
* feat(credits): /usage Nous credits magnitudes view + recovery trigger (L6)
Add Nous credit dollar magnitudes to /usage (subscription / top-up / total
+ rollover + renewal + portal CTA), magnitudes-only per v1 (no % until the
account endpoint exposes a denominator). Reuses the existing account-usage
render machinery via a new pure build_nous_credits_snapshot() that maps a
NousPortalAccountInfo to an AccountUsageSnapshot; no nous branch is added to
fetch_account_usage (keeps the per-provider boundary intact).
CLI /usage also doubles as a depletion-recovery trigger: a force_fresh
account fetch, kept in a SEPARATE local so it never clobbers the
header-sourced agent._credits_state (which alone carries used_fraction). If
paid access recovered while credits.depleted is latched and a notice
consumer is bound, it reuses agent._emit_credits_notices() to clear it.
Gateway /usage displays magnitudes only — messaging binds no notice
consumer, so it performs no recovery emit.
Fail-open throughout: any portal hiccup leaves /usage unaffected.
* refactor(credits): dedupe HERMES_DEV_CREDITS flag parse via shared helpers
The dev-flag truthy check was inlined in three places. Replace with the shared
utils.is_truthy_value (run_agent.py, tui_gateway/server.py — also drops a
redundant inline `import os`) and a hoisted DEV_CREDITS_MODE export in
ui-tui/src/config/env.ts (consumed by appChrome, which also stops recomputing the
env check on every render). Behaviour-preserving; identical truthy set.
* fix(credits): cut dead /usage recovery trigger + bound portal fetches (L6 review)
Adversarial review found the /usage depletion-recovery trigger dead AND broken:
the CLI binds no notice_clear_callback, the TUI runs /usage in a separate
slash-worker subprocess (its own agent/latch), and the no-clobber rule made it
evaluate stale paid_access anyway. Recovery already happens on the next inference
(warm path), so the trigger was redundant — remove it and stop the depleted
notice over-promising.
- cli.py: remove the dead recovery block; bound the /usage portal fetch with a
10s wall-clock timeout (ThreadPoolExecutor) like the per-provider fetch —
urllib's per-socket timeout is not a wall-clock guarantee.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: reword the depleted CTA to "run /usage for balance"
(no false recovery promise; /usage shows fresh magnitudes, sticky clears next turn).
- agent/conversation_loop.py: same wall-clock timeout on the cold-start seed fetch
so a stalled portal can't hang session startup; tidy its time import.
* chore(credits): dev notice-state fixtures (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE)
Throwaway dev scaffolding to exercise the notice pipeline without real spend or
Redis seeding. Set HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE to a state name (healthy / sub_90pct
/ grant_exhausted / depleted / clear) or a file path whose contents name a state
(re-read each turn → flip states live for recovery testing). _capture_credits
injects the chosen CreditsState instead of parsing real headers and runs the
shared notice policy. Deletable with the rest of the HERMES_DEV_CREDITS scaffolding.
* feat(credits): /usage monthly-grant % gauge
The portal /api/oauth/account subscription block now carries monthly_credits
(the per-period grant allowance, the % denominator). The consumer parsed
monthly_charge but dropped monthly_credits, so /usage stayed magnitudes-only.
Capture monthly_credits into NousPortalSubscriptionInfo + _subscription_from_payload.
build_nous_credits_snapshot emits a Subscription usage window (real % used, routed
through the existing render machinery) when monthly_credits is a finite positive
denominator and credits_remaining is finite and <= cap; otherwise it degrades to
magnitudes-only (older portals, rollover-over-cap, or non-finite payloads).
Guards (adversarial-review-driven): reject non-finite operands (json.loads parses
bare NaN/Infinity by default → would render $nan + a false 100% used), reject
bools, guard div-by-zero (cap>0), and suppress the gauge when remaining > cap
(rollover spanning the period makes the cap a nonsensical denominator → the
$X-of-$Y detail would read as a contradiction). Debt (remaining<0) clamps to 100%.
Money rule preserved: the ratio + magnitudes are computed from numeric float
account fields via display formatting, never by parsing a server *_usd string
(there are none on these dataclasses).
13 gauge tests added (tests/agent/test_nous_credits_gauge.py).
* fix(credits): show /usage Nous block whenever a Nous account is present
/usage runs in a slash-worker subprocess whose resolved inference provider is
often not "nous" even when the user has a Nous account, so gating the Nous
credits block on (provider == "nous") hid it entirely — the account data was
fully available but never rendered.
Gate instead on "a Nous account is logged in": a cheap local auth-state lookup
(get_provider_auth_state('nous') has an access_token) decides whether to attempt
the portal fetch, regardless of which provider inference runs on. In the gateway
the block is also lifted out of the 'if provider:' scope so a Nous-credentialled
user with another (or no) resident inference provider still sees their balance.
Fail-open and the per-fetch wall-clock timeout are preserved.
* fix(credits): show /usage Nous block when there's no live agent (TUI slash-worker)
In the TUI, /usage runs in a slash-worker subprocess that resumes the session
WITHOUT building an agent (self.agent is None), so _show_usage early-returned
"(._.) No active agent" before ever reaching the Nous credits block — which is
agent-independent (a portal fetch gated on Nous auth-state). Extract the block
into _print_nous_credits_block() and run it at the no-agent / no-calls
early-returns too (returns True if it printed, so the fallback message only
shows when there's genuinely nothing).
Verified live against staging: the block + monthly-grant gauge now render in the
slash-worker /usage path (previously hidden). The plain CLI REPL + messaging
paths are unchanged (they have a live agent).
* feat(credits): escalating 50/75/90 usage bands (single status line)
Replace the lone 90%-used warning with three escalating bands (50 info, 75 warn,
90 warn) shown as ONE status-bar line: it displays the highest band the
subscription grant has crossed, replaces the line as usage climbs, steps back
down on recovery, and clears below 50%. No stacking, no per-turn churn.
Bands live in a tunable CREDITS_USAGE_BANDS list; the policy derives everything
from it. Single notice key (credits.usage) with a usage_band latch field so the
notice only re-emits when the band actually changes. The crossing gate
(seen_below_90) is preserved so a fresh live session that opens mid-range stays
quiet until it has been observed below the lowest band (cold-start primes it when
it wants an open-high warning). Denominator math unchanged: % = subscription
grant burn (cap - grant_remaining)/cap, clamped [0,1]; top-up never moves the %.
Migrated test_credits_policy.py to the new key + added TestUsageBands (climb,
step-down, recovery-clear, idempotent, inclusive boundaries).
* feat(credits): hydrate notices at session OPEN via shared seed (TUI + first-turn)
Notices previously only fired inside a conversation turn (first message), so a
session that opened already depleted / past a usage band showed nothing at
'ready'. Extract the cold-start seed into a shared seed_credits_at_session_start()
and call it (a) in the TUI/desktop agent build right after the notice callback is
wired (fires at 'ready', before any message) and (b) as the first-turn fallback in
conversation_loop. Idempotent (skips once _credits_state exists) and fail-open.
The seed now maps monthly_credits -> subscription_limit_micros +
denominator_kind='subscription_cap', so used_fraction is computable at seed time
and usage-band warnings (not just depletion) hydrate on open. Primes the crossing
latch so a session opening already in a band warns immediately. Degrades to
depletion-only when monthly_credits is absent (older portals).
Adds test_credits_cold_start.py covering open-at-band, depletion, debt, no-cap
degradation, and the shared seed (fires/idempotent/skips-non-nous).
* feat(credits): /usage monthly-grant % gauge + fixture support + TUI surfacing
agent/account_usage.py: build_nous_credits_snapshot emits a subscription %% gauge
when the portal supplies a positive, finite monthly_credits denominator with
remaining <= cap (guards reject NaN/Infinity and rollover-over-cap, which would
render $nan or a contradictory $X-of-$Y); degrades to magnitudes-only otherwise.
Adds shared nous_credits_lines() (auth-gated, wall-clock-bounded portal fetch) so
the CLI and TUI /usage render the same block, and _snapshot_from_credits_state()
so HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE drives /usage offline too.
TUI: session.usage RPC carries credits_lines (agent-independent) and the /usage
panel renders them regardless of API-call count or resume state — previously the
TUI's separate /usage implementation only showed token counts.
Money rule preserved: %% and magnitudes come from numeric float account fields via
display formatting, never by parsing a server *_usd string.
* feat(credits): CLI REPL inline notices (parity with TUI)
The plain CLI agent bound no notice callbacks, so credit notices were TUI-only.
Bind notice_callback/notice_clear_callback on the CLI AIAgent; _on_notice renders
a single level-colored line above the prompt (error red / warn yellow / success
green / info dim) via _cprint, and seed credits at session open so a depletion or
usage-band warning shows before the first message — the same hydration the TUI
got. _on_notice_clear is a no-op (the REPL prints lines, no persistent slot).
* test(credits): add sub_50pct + sub_75pct dev fixtures for the new usage bands
The fixture set jumped 10%% -> 90%%; add sub_50pct (uf 0.5 -> band 50 info) and
sub_75pct (uf 0.75 -> band 75 warn) so the new escalating bands are exercisable
via HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE across all three surfaces (notice, session-open
seed, /usage gauge).
* fix(credits): usage-band notice clears on next prompt (not sticky-forever)
A 50/75/90 usage heads-up was sticky and camped the status bar indefinitely. Clear
the visible credits.usage notice when a new turn starts (startMessage), so it shows
until your next prompt then yields. The server latch is unchanged, so it won't
re-nag at the same band — it only re-shows when the band actually changes (climb)
or clears when usage drops below the lowest band. Depletion stays sticky.
* refactor(credits): consolidate the /usage credits block behind nous_credits_lines()
The CLI (_print_nous_credits_block) and the messaging gateway (_handle_usage_command)
each re-implemented the auth-gate + portal fetch + render, and both bypassed the
dev-fixture short-circuit that only the TUI honored — so /usage ignored
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE on the CLI and in chat. Route both through the shared
agent.account_usage.nous_credits_lines() helper: one fetch/render path, one auth
gate, and the fixture works on every surface (~60 fewer duplicated lines).
The gateway usage test recorded only the last asyncio.to_thread call; /usage now
dispatches both the account fetch and the credits fetch, so it records every call
and matches the account fetch by its provider arg.
* fix(credits): keep the /usage gauge type-safe and log its fail-open path
_is_finite_num is now a TypeGuard[float], so the type checker narrows the gauge
operands (monthly_credits / credits_remaining) and the magnitudes passed to
_fmt_usd through it — no more None-operand warnings on the arithmetic. Add a debug
breadcrumb on the nous_credits_lines portal-fetch fail-open so a dead /usage block
is diagnosable in agent.log without a dev flag.
* fix(credits): harden the header tracker — prod-leak gate, hot-path probe, fire-and-forget seed
- Prod-leak guard: dev fixtures (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE) now also require
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS, so a stray fixture var can't surface fabricated balances on a
real account. Matches the documented run workflow (both vars set together).
- Hot-path probe: parse_credits_headers checks for the version sentinel header
before allocating a lowercased copy of the response headers — skips that work on
every non-Nous API call. Behaviour-identical and still case-insensitive.
- Fire-and-forget seed: the real portal fetch in seed_credits_at_session_start now
runs in a daemon thread, so a slow/unreachable portal never delays session "ready"
(previously blocked up to 10s). The dev-fixture path stays synchronous; the thread
re-checks idempotency before hydrating (a live header may land first).
- Diagnostics: debug breadcrumbs on the parse and seed fail-open paths so a crashed
parser / dead seed is distinguishable from a legitimate no-headers miss.
Cold-start tests set HERMES_DEV_CREDITS alongside the fixture to match the gate.
* test(tui): fix env-timing in the StatusRule dev-credits assertion
DEV_CREDITS_MODE is read once at module load (config/env), so mutating
process.env.HERMES_DEV_CREDITS inside the test couldn't flip it — the dev-banner
assertion only passed if the env was exported before vitest started, and failed in a
normal run. Move that assertion to a sibling file that mocks config/env with
DEV_CREDITS_MODE: true (scoped, no module-reset / React-identity hazard).
* test(credits): cover the dev-fixture /usage render and usage-band clear-on-prompt
- _snapshot_from_credits_state (the offline /usage renderer) had no direct test:
lock the gauge math, the verbatim *_usd magnitudes, the depletion line and the
fixture marker, plus the no-cap (no gauge) and None-state cases.
- turnController.startMessage had no test for clearing the credits.usage notice on
the next prompt while leaving credits.depleted sticky.
* feat(credits): deliver credit notices over messaging gateways
Bind notice_callback/notice_clear_callback on the per-turn gateway agent
so usage-band / depletion / restored notices reach Telegram/Discord/Slack/
etc. Previously the messaging gateway bound neither callback, so the agent's
_emit_credits_notices early-returned and a chat user crossing a band got
nothing unless they ran /usage manually.
- render_notice_line(): AgentNotice -> single plaintext line (level glyph +
text), plaintext-only so it renders uniformly without per-platform escaping.
Fail-soft on malformed/empty notices.
- Standalone push for every notice (messaging has no persistent status bar):
route through the shared _deliver_platform_notice rail (honors private/
public delivery + thread metadata), scheduled onto the gateway loop via
safe_schedule_threadsafe from the agent's sync worker thread — same pattern
as _status_callback_sync.
- The fired-once latch lives on the cached (reused-in-place) agent and
persists across turns, so a band crosses once -> one push, no per-turn
re-nag. Re-fires only after idle-eviction rebuilds the agent (a reminder).
- Recovery ('Credit access restored') rides the show path (emitted as a
success notice, not a clear). notice_clear_callback is a no-op: a sent
platform message can't be cleanly retracted.
Tests: render glyph/levels/fail-soft + public/private delivery seam through
_deliver_platform_notice + no-adapter no-op.
* fix(credits): don't double the glyph on messaging notices
render_notice_line prepended a per-level glyph, but the notice policy already
bakes the glyph into the text (and the TUI + CLI render it verbatim) — so every
credit notice over messaging came out doubled ("⚠ ⚠ Credits 90% used",
"⛔ ✕ Credit access paused"). Emit the text verbatim instead; drop the now-dead
level→glyph map.
The render tests fed glyph-less text (and the success case only checked
startswith), so the doubling slipped through. Rework them around the verbatim
contract and add an end-to-end regression that runs real evaluate_credits_notices
output through render_notice_line and asserts the line is returned unchanged.
* fix: respect disabled auto-compaction on context overflow
Port from anomalyco/opencode#30749.
When compression.enabled is false, NO automatic compaction trigger may
fire. The proactive token-threshold paths (preflight + post-response
should_compress gate) already honoured the setting, but the three
provider-overflow recovery paths in the agent loop — long-context-tier
429, 413 payload-too-large, and context-overflow — called
_compress_context() unconditionally, silently compressing and rotating
the session against the user's explicit choice.
Add a single guard at the top of the overflow-recovery dispatch: when
compression is disabled and the error is one of those three overflow
classes, surface a terminal error (compaction_disabled: True) telling the
user to /compress manually, /new, switch to a larger-context model, or
reduce attachments. Manual /compress (force=True) is unaffected — it never
enters this loop.
Tests: new TestOverflowWithCompactionDisabled (413 + 400 overflow don't
compress when disabled; control case still compresses when enabled).
Existing overflow-recovery tests updated to enable compaction explicitly
(they verify the recovery fires); fixture defaults flipped to True to
match production (compression.enabled defaults to True).
* perf(/model): prewarm picker provider-models cache in background
The no-args /model picker calls list_authenticated_providers(), which
fetches each authenticated provider's live /v1/models list serially. On a
cold or stale (>1h TTL) cache that blocks ~1.5s on the user's critical path
the first time /model is opened in a session.
Warm that exact path off-thread during the idle window right after the CLI
banner is shown: a once-per-process daemon thread runs
list_authenticated_providers() to populate provider_models_cache.json for
every authed provider. By the time the user types /model, the picker hits
the warm disk cache (~136ms vs ~1500ms).
Process-level Event guard (mirrors run_agent's _openrouter_prewarm_done)
ensures at most one thread per process; fully exception-isolated so an
offline/no-creds provider can never affect the session.
Replace [{_DIM}] with [dim] in all _restore_session_cwd and
_preload_resumed_session messages that go through _console_print (Rich
Console.print). _DIM is an ANSI escape (\x1b[2;3m) that Rich cannot
parse as a markup tag, causing MarkupError on session resume when the
stored cwd is missing or inaccessible.
Also uses [/dim] closing tag for explicit tag matching.
Fixes#39469
/branch (aka /fork) sessions vanished from /resume and /sessions. Both
surfaces funnel through list_sessions_rich(include_children=False), which
hid any session with a parent_session_id unless identified as a branch via a
heuristic — parent.end_reason == 'branched' AND child.started_at >=
parent.ended_at.
Two ways that heuristic failed:
1. CLI/gateway branches: once the parent was reopened (e.g. resumed) and
re-ended with a different end_reason (tui_shutdown overwriting 'branched'),
the heuristic stopped matching and the branch was hidden permanently.
2. TUI branches (tui_gateway session.branch): the TUI never ends the parent
as 'branched' — it creates the child while the parent is still live — so
the heuristic NEVER matched and TUI branches were hidden from the moment
they were created (this is the macOS desktop app's primary symptom).
Fix: persist a stable '_branched_from' marker in the branch session's
model_config at creation time across ALL THREE branch paths (CLI cli.py,
gateway gateway/run.py, and TUI tui_gateway/server.py), and OR a
json_extract(model_config, '$._branched_from') IS NOT NULL check into the
list_sessions_rich filter. The marker is immutable across the parent's
lifecycle, so the branch stays visible regardless of how/whether the parent
is ended. The legacy end_reason heuristic is kept (OR'd) so pre-existing
branches remain visible. Subagent/compression children (no marker, parent
not 'branched') stay correctly hidden. Fixes#20856.
Approach by liuhao1024 (PR #20864); reimplemented on current main, extended
to the TUI branch path (which the original missed), with regression tests for
the reopen+re-end scenario and the TUI marker persistence.
The classic CLI left its live bottom chrome — the status bar, input box,
and separator rules — frozen in terminal scrollback after exit, on every
exit path (/exit, /quit, Ctrl+C, EOF) and on both Linux and Windows. The
prior erase_when_done=True fix (bf82a7f1c) routes prompt_toolkit's teardown
through renderer.erase(), but that walks back by the renderer's internal
cursor model and does not reliably wipe the chrome in practice — users still
saw a dead status bar + the rest of the session sitting above the resume
summary.
Clear the screen + scrollback directly at the single exit funnel instead.
All exit paths converge on _print_exit_summary() (called from the run-loop
finally block after app.run() returns and prompt_toolkit has restored
terminal modes), so a new _clear_terminal_on_exit() helper runs there before
the summary prints. It writes ESC[3J ESC[2J ESC[H (erase scrollback, erase
screen, home cursor) on a real TTY, no-ops silently when stdout is not a
terminal (pipes/redirects), and falls back to the platform clear command if
the escape write fails. Works on Linux, macOS, and modern Windows terminals
(Terminal/conhost with VT processing, already enabled by prompt_toolkit).
The resume/goodbye summary now prints at a clean top-left with nothing
stranded above it.
Fixes#38252.
Sets erase_when_done=True on the classic CLI's prompt_toolkit Application so the
live bottom chrome (status bar, input box, separator rules) is wiped on exit
instead of frozen into scrollback.
Previously prompt_toolkit's render_as_done teardown repainted the chrome one
final time and left it on screen (ESC[J only erases below the cursor, not the
chrome above), so a dead status bar + empty prompt + rules were stranded
between the conversation transcript and the 'Resume this session' summary, and
stacked with the next session's UI on resume. erase_when_done routes teardown
through renderer.erase() which wipes exactly the managed chrome region; the
conversation transcript prints through patch_stdout into normal scrollback and
is untouched. Applies to every exit path (/exit, /quit, EOF, Ctrl+C).
Fixes#38252.
hermes -c / --resume now reopen a session in its original working
directory. The sessions table already had a cwd column; the classic CLI
just never wrote or read it.
- run_agent._ensure_db_session stamps cwd for local CLI sessions only
(new _launch_cwd_for_session gates out gateway/cron and non-local
terminal backends, where a host cwd is meaningless to restore).
- cli._restore_session_cwd chdir's the process AND retargets TERMINAL_CWD
so the terminal tool, code-exec tool, and relative-path resolution all
land in the restored dir. Called from both resume paths (interactive
run() and the -q single-query path).
- Robust degradation: no-op when no cwd recorded, when already there, or
when the dir is gone (single dim warning, stays put — no crash).
Adds backend-neutral observer hooks for plugins: session, turn, API
request, tool, approval, and subagent lifecycle events with stable
correlation IDs (session_id, task_id, turn_id, api_request_id,
tool_call_id, parent/child subagent ids). Extends VALID_HOOKS with
api_request_error and subagent_start.
Hot path is zero-cost when no plugin subscribes: has_hook()/presence
checks gate all payload construction, request payloads are returned
by reference when no middleware rewrites, and the sanitized response
payload no longer embeds raw response objects.
Bundles the optional NeMo-Relay observability plugin
(plugins/observability/nemo_relay) as an in-repo consumer of the new
hooks, peer to the existing langfuse plugin. Fails open when the
optional nemo-relay package is not installed.

Salvaged from #29722 onto current main.
A kanban worker that exhausted its retries purely on a provider rate
limit / quota wall (e.g. opencode-go's 5-hour window) exited with code 1.
The dispatcher counted that as a crash, and with DEFAULT_FAILURE_LIMIT=2
two quota-wall hits permanently blocked the card. Fanning out many
workers against one shared quota made this routine.
Now a rate-limited worker exits with EX_TEMPFAIL (75); the dispatcher
classifies that as a 'rate_limited' exit, releases the task back to
'ready' WITHOUT incrementing consecutive_failures (the breaker can't trip
on a transient throttle), and the respawn guard defers the next attempt
on a cooldown (default 5min, HERMES_KANBAN_RATE_LIMIT_COOLDOWN_SECONDS)
until the quota window clears. Genuine crashes still count and trip the
breaker as before. The 120s Retry-After cap is unchanged — no worker
parks for hours holding a slot.
- conversation_loop.py: surface failure_reason in the exhaustion return
- cli.py: kanban worker picks exit 75 on rate_limit/billing failure
- kanban_db.py: rate_limited exit kind, no-count requeue, cooldown guard
Adopt the cleaner handling from PR #37080: coerce/strip the note and
skip the extra newlines when the underlying message (or text part) is
empty, while keeping the safer fail-open behavior for unknown shapes.
Sending an image to a vision model turns the user message into a list of
OpenAI-style content parts. When a /model or /reload-skills note was queued
for the same turn, the CLI did `note + "\n\n" + agent_message`, crashing the
agent thread with:
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "list") to str
Repro: `/model gpt-5.5 --provider openai-codex`, then paste+send an image.
Add _prepend_note_to_message(), which folds the note into the first text
part of a content-parts list (or inserts a leading text part for image-only
messages) and keeps the plain-string path unchanged. Used for both the
model-switch and skills-reload notes.
When the TUI exits via Ctrl+C, SIGTERM/SIGHUP, or a crash, prompt_toolkit's
teardown can be bypassed, leaving DEC 1004 (focus reporting) and 1000/1002/1003
(mouse tracking) enabled. The terminal then emits raw ESC[I/ESC[O focus events
and fragmented SGR mouse reports as visible text in whatever runs next in the
same tab.
_run_cleanup() — the once-only cleanup that runs on every catchable exit path
(atexit-registered + called on the normal/EOF/interrupt exit) — now emits
_TERMINAL_INPUT_MODE_RESET_SEQ (the same disable sequence the in-session leak
recovery already uses) as its FIRST step, so the terminal is usable immediately
on Ctrl+C and a later teardown step raising can't skip it.
The reset is gated on a new _tui_input_modes_active flag (set right before
app.run(), cleared once the modes are disabled) so non-TUI one-shot CLI runs —
which share _run_cleanup via atexit — don't emit codes for modes they never
enabled. Writes to sys.stdout when it's the terminal, else falls back to
/dev/tty. SIGKILL is uncatchable and the kanban worker's os._exit(0) bypasses
atexit, but both are non-TTY/non-TUI so there is nothing to reset there.
Adds tests/cli/test_tui_terminal_reset_on_exit.py (9): emits on a TTY when the
TUI ran, no-ops when the TUI never ran, /dev/tty fallback when stdout is
redirected, no-op when neither is available, swallows stdout errors, flag set
and cleared, and wired into _run_cleanup as the first step even when a later
step raises.

Extends the existing /undo command from a single in-memory exchange
removal into a full rewind: back up N user turns (default 1), soft-delete
the truncated rows in SessionDB (active=0, kept for audit, hidden from
re-prompts and search), notify memory providers, and prefill the composer
with the backed-up message text for editing — CLI and TUI.
Reuses the SessionDB rewind primitives, the on_session_switch(rewound=True)
memory hook, and the TUI command.dispatch prefill payload from SaguaroDev's
#21910 work, wired to /undo [N] instead of a separate /rewind picker.
- cli.py: undo_last(n, prefill) — in-memory truncate + SQLite soft-delete
+ agent surgery (system-prompt invalidate, flush-index reset) + memory
notify + editable buffer prefill; /undo dispatch parses optional count;
checkpoint-rollback caller passes prefill=False
- tui_gateway/server.py: command.dispatch undo branch (was rewind) parses
count, picks Nth-from-last user turn, clamps to oldest
- commands.py: /undo gains [N] args_hint
- tests: rename + expand TUI suite (multi-turn, clamp, invalid-count)
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for SaguaroDev
