listen_for_speech(): sustained-RMS speech detection with the noise
floor calibrated against audible playback (speaker bleed doesn't
self-trigger). With capture=True it keeps a rolling pre-roll buffer and
records through to a silence endpoint, so the interruption is
transcribed from its first syllable — detection alone loses the opening
words to the detector's sustain window plus the mic re-open.
transcribe_recording() maps no_speech provider results to a successful
empty transcript (silence, not an error).
* feat(attribution): conflict-free contributor mappings via contributors/emails/ directory
The AUTHOR_MAP dict in scripts/release.py was a merge-conflict magnet:
every concurrent salvage PR appended entries to the same lines of the
same file, so parallel PRs re-conflicted on every merge to main.
New system: one file per email under contributors/emails/ — filename is
the commit-author email, first non-comment line is the GitHub login.
File additions never conflict, so any number of PRs can add mappings
concurrently.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP is now LEGACY_AUTHOR_MAP (frozen)
merged with the directory at import time (directory wins). All
existing consumers (resolve_author, contributor_audit.py) unchanged.
- scripts/add_contributor.py: idempotent CLI to add a mapping; refuses
conflicting reassignments (incl. against the legacy map), validates
email/login shapes.
- contributor-check.yml: attribution gate now accepts a mapping file OR
a legacy entry; failure message prints the exact add_contributor
command. Also auto-resolves bare <login>@users.noreply.github.com
emails is intentionally NOT added (kept id+login form only, matching
previous behavior).
- contributor_audit.py: guidance now points at add_contributor.py.
- tests/scripts/test_contributor_map.py: 12 tests covering loader,
merge precedence, CLI idempotency/conflict/validation, subprocess E2E.
* feat(ci): one-shot per-file flake retry in the parallel test runner
A failing test FILE is re-run once in a fresh subprocess. Pass-on-retry
counts as green but is loudly reported in a '⚠ FLAKY' summary section
(with both attempts' output preserved) so the flake gets fixed instead
of eating a full-run rerun. Deterministic failures fail both attempts —
regressions cannot be laundered green.
- --file-retries N / HERMES_TEST_FILE_RETRIES (default 1, 0 disables)
- E2E verified: simulated first-run-fail flake goes green with banner;
deterministic failure still exits 1; retries=0 restores old behavior.
This converts the dominant CI failure mode (one timing-sensitive test
flaking a 4600-test shard, requiring a manual 10-minute rerun and an
agent triage loop) into a self-healing retry that costs one file's
runtime.
* test(approval): loosen wall-clock perf bounds 0.15s -> 2.0s
These guard against catastrophic regex backtracking (seconds-to-minutes
class), but 0.15s is within scheduler-stall noise on loaded shared CI
runners — test_max_accepted_separator_free_input_is_fast failed a CI
shard this week on runner load alone. 2.0s still catches the regression
class with zero flake surface.
* fix(ci): job timeouts everywhere + retries on all network installs
Reliability pass over every workflow:
- timeout-minutes on all 21 jobs that lacked one (a hung job previously
burned the 6-hour default runner budget)
- ./.github/actions/retry wrapped around every network-fetching install
that lacked it: pip installs (deploy-site, skills-index), npm ci
(deploy-site website, upload_to_pypi web + ui-tui), uv sync (docker
test deps). Deterministic build steps (npm run build) deliberately
NOT retried — split into separate steps so a real build failure fails
fast instead of retrying 3x.
* docs(agents): document the file-retry flake policy
* fix(ci): curl retries on deploy hook + skills-index probe
* fix(ci): kill the remaining transient-failure classes in workflows + Dockerfile
From the workflow reliability audit:
- tests.yml: duration-cache restore had NO restore-keys while saves use
run_id-suffixed keys — the cache never matched once, so LPT slicing
always ran blind and unbalanced slices pushed heavy files toward the
per-file timeout. One-line restore-keys fixes slice balancing.
- Label gates (lint ci-reviewed, supply-chain mcp-catalog-reviewed):
'gh pr view || true' turned an API blip into 'label absent' → false
BLOCKING failure. Now 3x retry, and API failure is reported as an API
failure instead of a missing label.
- detect-changes action: compare API retried before failing open (was
silently running all lanes on any blip).
- uv-lockfile-check: 'uv lock --check' resolves against PyPI — retried
so registry blips don't read as 'lockfile stale'.
- docker.yml merge job: imagetools create retried (Docker Hub eventual
consistency on just-pushed digests).
- Dockerfile: apt-get Acquire::Retries=3; s6-overlay ADDs converted to
curl --retry 3 (ADD cannot retry; checksums still enforced); npm
--fetch-retries=5; playwright chromium fetch retried 3x.
- Advisory artifact uploads (per-slice durations, ci-timings report)
get continue-on-error so an artifact-service blip can't fail a green
test slice.
* fix(tests): kill the two root-cause flakes — leaking pre-warm timer + env-dependent provider list
- test_tui_gateway_server.py: session.create / non-eager session.resume
arm a 50ms threading.Timer (_schedule_agent_build) that outlives its
test and fires into the NEXT test's _make_agent mock, racily
corrupting captured state (the recurring session_resume shard
failures). Replaced the per-test whack-a-mole stub with a module-wide
autouse fixture; the 3 worker-lifecycle tests that genuinely need the
deferred build opt back in via @pytest.mark.real_agent_prewarm (new
marker in pyproject).
- test_api_key_providers.py: PROVIDER_ENV_VARS is now derived from the
live PROVIDER_REGISTRY instead of a hand-list that had drifted
(missing HF_TOKEN / DEEPINFRA_API_KEY) — resolve_provider('auto')
tests failed on any machine with HF_TOKEN exported. E2E-verified with
HF_TOKEN/DEEPINFRA_API_KEY set: 42/42 pass.
* test: de-flake 30 timing-sensitive test files for loaded CI runners
Root-cause fixes from the flake audit (session-DB mining + repo sweep):
Event-based sync instead of sleep-sync:
- title_generator: mock sets threading.Event, wait(10) replaces
sleep(0.3) hoping the daemon thread got scheduled
- docker zombie_reaping / profile_gateway: poll-for-state helpers
replace fixed 1-3s sleeps (s6 transitions + SIGCHLD reaping are async)
- process_registry tree test: select()-bounded readline replaces an
unbounded blocking read (parent wedge now fails THIS test with a clear
message instead of an opaque rc=124 file kill); SIGTERM grace 1s->2s
(the 1s partition window mid-interpreter-startup is how a child PID
escaped the live-system guard in CI)
Timeout raises (loaded 8-way-sliced runners see ~5s scheduling floors;
all of these complete in ms-to-1s when healthy so the raises cost
nothing on green runs):
- subprocess/thread waits <= 2s raised to 10-15s across mcp_tool,
mcp_circuit_breaker, mcp_reconnect_retry_reset, mcp_parked_self_probe,
mcp_cancelled_error_propagation, registry, clarify_gateway, interrupt,
voice_cli_integration, docker_environment, session_store_lock_io,
planned_stop_watcher, cli_interrupt_subagent, thread_scoped_output
(joins now also assert not is_alive() so stragglers fail loudly)
- wall-clock discrimination ceilings loosened where the guarded hang is
10x larger: local_background_child_hang 4s->10s, interrupt_cleanup
setup 5s->20s + pgid-exit 30s->60s, mcp_stability grandchild spinup
5s->15s, protocol/gil-starvation fast-handler 0.5s->2s,
iso_certify_seam 1.5s->5s, wait_for_mcp_discovery 0.1s->1s
- narrow assertion windows widened: honcho first-turn wait 0.4..0.65 ->
0.25..2.0 (property is bounded-not-hung, not an exact wall-clock);
compression fork-lock TTL 1s->3s (12 refresh chances per lease);
compression-lock expiry margins symmetric (ttl 0.05->0.5, sleep 1.0)
- telegram hung-DNS bound 1.0->1.4 (fake hang is 1.5s — must stay under)
* fix(tests): repair indentation from de-flake batch edit
* fix(tests): harden env isolation and replace remaining sleep-sync races
The full 42k-test run and complete npm check surfaced three more classes:
- Environment isolation: local ~/.honcho defaultHost and SSH_* variables
leaked into Python/TUI tests. Pin the default Honcho host in the
hermetic fixture, isolate the one fallback test from ~/.honcho, and
blank SSH_* around terminalSetup tests. This flipped 20 false failures
back to deterministic behavior on developer machines.
- Background-thread sleep-sync: Honcho async writer tests patched
time.sleep globally, then busy-polled with that same mocked sleep. Under
full-suite load the poller could starve the writer. Each test now waits
on an Event emitted by the exact flush/retry transition; 30/30 passed
under 15-way contention.
- Desktop streaming: the test slept 80ms and assumed a 500ms timer could
not fire before its assertion. A loaded runner descheduled the test for
>500ms and both chunks arrived. Producer controls now gate second-chunk
and completion transitions explicitly.
Also make file-retry observability complete: a self-healed flaky file now
prints BOTH attempts' full output in the FLAKY summary. Two behavioral
runner tests prove pass-on-retry is green+loud+traceback-preserving, while
a deterministic failure remains red.
* refactor(ci): use gh bot pat, better retries
refactor(ci): use retry action for PR label fetch
the retry action now captures stdout as a step output, so it can serve
double duty: retry + output capture for commands like 'gh pr view' whose
result must be consumed by later steps.
Retry action gains:
- 'stdout' output (heredoc-delimited to preserve newlines)
- tee to temp file so stdout still streams to the job log
- step id 'retry' for output reference
Both lint.yml and supply-chain-audit.yml now use the retry action
directly with 'command: gh pr view ...' and read
steps.<id>.outputs.stdout.
ci: use AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT for all gh CLI / GitHub API auth
Replace secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and github.token with
secrets.AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across all workflows and composite actions
that use the gh CLI or GitHub API. The PAT has consistent permissions
across fork PRs (where GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only), avoids API rate
limit sharing with the default token, and is already used by
js-autofix.yml for the same reasons.

SSH sessions hard-failed voice mode on the presence of SSH_* env vars
alone, even when a PulseAudio/PipeWire server is running on the host and
audio works (ffplay/aplay/pw-play -> pulseaudio). Probe the default
sound-server sockets (PULSE_SERVER unix path, PULSE_RUNTIME_PATH/native,
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/{pulse/native,pipewire-0}) and actually connect() so a
stale socket doesn't count; downgrade the SSH branch to a notice when
audio is reachable. Mirrors the existing Docker/WSL forwarding handling.
Fixes#35622
Remove unused imports (F401) and duplicate/shadowed import
redefinitions (F811) across the codebase using ruff's safe
autofixes. No behavioral changes -- imports only.
- ~1400 safe autofixes applied across 644 files (net -1072 lines)
- __init__.py re-exports preserved (excluded from F401 removal so
public re-export surfaces stay intact)
- Re-exports that are imported or monkeypatched by tests but look
unused in their defining module are kept with explicit # noqa:
F401 (gateway/run.py load_dotenv; run_agent re-exports from
agent.message_sanitization, agent.context_compressor,
agent.retry_utils, agent.prompt_builder, agent.process_bootstrap,
agent.codex_responses_adapter)
- Unsafe F841 (unused-variable) fixes deliberately skipped -- those
can change behavior when the RHS has side effects
- ruff lints remain disabled in pyproject.toml (only PLW1514 is
selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change
Verification:
- python -m compileall: clean
- pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors)
- core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli,
toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway)
- static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited
module still resolves
detect_audio_environment() unconditionally added a hard warning when
running inside a container, blocking /voice on even when the host audio
socket was correctly forwarded (PulseAudio or PipeWire) and sounddevice
could enumerate devices.
Mirror the existing WSL/PulseAudio handling: if PULSE_SERVER or
PIPEWIRE_REMOTE is set, downgrade to a notice and let the audio backend
decide. When neither is set, keep the block but extend the message with
the exact -v / -e flags users need.
Closes#21203
WSL detection was treated as a hard fail, blocking voice mode even when
audio worked via PulseAudio bridge. Now PULSE_SERVER env var presence
makes WSL a soft notice instead of a blocking warning. Device query
failures in WSL with PULSE_SERVER are also treated as non-blocking.
1. Anthropic + ElevenLabs TTS silence: forward full response to TTS
callback for non-streaming providers (choices first, then native
content blocks fallback).
2. Subprocess timeout kill: play_audio_file now kills the process on
TimeoutExpired instead of leaving zombie processes.
3. Discord disconnect cleanup: leave all voice channels before closing
the client to prevent leaked state.
4. Audio stream leak: close InputStream if stream.start() fails.
5. Race condition: read/write _on_silence_stop under lock in audio
callback thread.
6. _vprint force=True: show API error, retry, and truncation messages
even during streaming TTS.
7. _refresh_level lock: read _voice_recording under _voice_lock.
Remove web UI gateway (web.py, tests, docs, toolset, env vars, Platform.WEB
enum) per maintainer request — Nous is building their own official chat UI.
Fix 1: Replace sd.wait() with polling pattern in play_audio_file() to prevent
indefinite hang when audio device stalls (consistent with play_beep()).
Fix 2: Use importlib.util.find_spec() for faster_whisper/openai availability
checks instead of module-level imports that trigger heavy native library
loading (CUDA/cuDNN) at import time.
Fix 3: Remove inspect.signature() hack in _send_voice_reply() — add **kwargs
to Telegram send_voice() so all adapters accept metadata uniformly.
Fix 4: Make session loading resilient to removed platform enum values — skip
entries with unknown platforms instead of crashing the entire gateway.
Voice status was hardcoded to check API keys only. Now uses the actual
provider resolution (local/groq/openai) so it correctly shows
"local faster-whisper" when installed instead of "Groq" or "MISSING".
- Keep InputStream alive across recordings to avoid CoreAudio hang on
repeated open/close cycles on macOS. New _ensure_stream() creates the
stream once; start()/stop()/cancel() only toggle frame collection.
- Add _close_stream_with_timeout() with daemon thread to prevent
stream.stop()/close() from blocking indefinitely.
- Add generation counter to detect stale stream-open completions after
cancel or restart.
- Run recorder.cancel() in background thread from Ctrl+C handler to
keep the event loop responsive.
- Add shutdown() method called on /voice off to release audio resources.
- Fix silence timer reset during active speech: use dip tolerance for
_resume_start tracker so natural speech pauses (< 0.3s) don't prevent
the silence timer from being reset.
- Update tests to match persistent stream behavior.
1. Fully lazy imports: sounddevice, numpy, elevenlabs, edge_tts, and
openai are never imported at module level. Each is imported only when
the feature is explicitly activated, preventing crashes in headless
environments (SSH, Docker, WSL, no PortAudio).
2. No core agent loop changes: streaming TTS path extracted from
_interruptible_api_call() into separate _streaming_api_call() method.
The original method is restored to its upstream form.
3. Configurable key binding: push-to-talk key changed from Ctrl+R
(conflicts with readline reverse-search) to Ctrl+B by default.
Configurable via voice.push_to_talk_key in config.yaml.
4. Environment detection: new detect_audio_environment() function checks
for SSH, Docker, WSL, and missing audio devices before enabling voice
mode. Auto-disables with clear warnings in incompatible environments.
5. Graceful degradation: every audio touchpoint (sd.play, sd.InputStream,
sd.OutputStream) wrapped in try/except with ImportError/OSError
handling. Failures produce warnings, not crashes.
- Audio cues: beep on record start (880Hz), double beep on stop (660Hz)
- Silence detection: auto-stop recording after 3s of silence (RMS-based)
- Continuous mode: auto-restart recording after agent responds
- Ctrl+R starts continuous mode, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
- Waits for TTS to finish before restarting to avoid recording speaker
- Tests: 7 new tests for beep generation and silence detection
The test was failing because GROQ_API_KEY leaked from the environment.
Now both VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY and GROQ_API_KEY are removed to
properly test the "no STT key" scenario.
