* fix(gateway): config.yaml wins over .env for agent/display/timezone settings
Regression from the silent config→env bridge. The bridge at module import
time is correct for max_turns (unconditional overwrite), but every other
agent.*, display.*, timezone, and security bridge key was guarded by
'if X not in os.environ' — so a stale .env entry from an old 'hermes setup'
run would shadow the user's current config.yaml indefinitely.
Symptom: agent.max_turns: 500 in config.yaml, HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS=60
in .env from an old setup, and the gateway silently capped at 60
iterations per turn. Gateway logs confirmed api_calls never exceeded 60.
Three changes:
1. gateway/run.py: drop the 'not in os.environ' guards for all agent.*,
display.*, timezone, and security.* bridge keys. config.yaml is now
authoritative for these settings — same semantics already in place
for max_turns, terminal.*, and auxiliary.*. Also surface the bridge
failure (previously 'except Exception: pass') to stderr so operators
see bridge errors instead of silently falling back to .env.
2. gateway/run.py: INFO-log the resolved max_iterations at gateway
start so operators can verify the config→env bridge did the right
thing instead of chasing a phantom budget ceiling.
3. hermes_cli/setup.py: stop writing HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS to .env in
the setup wizard. config.yaml is the single source of truth. Also
clean up any stale .env entry left behind by pre-fix setups.
Regression tests in tests/gateway/test_config_env_bridge_authority.py
guard each config→env key against the 'stale .env shadows config' bug.
* fix(gateway): shutdown + restart hygiene (drain timeout, false-fatal, success log)
Three issues observed in production gateway.log during a rapid restart
chain on 2026-05-02, all fixed here.
1. _send_restart_notification logged unconditional success
adapter.send() catches provider errors (e.g. Telegram 'Chat not found')
and returns SendResult(success=False); it never raises. The caller
ignored the return value and always logged 'Sent restart notification
to <chat>' at INFO, producing a misleading success line directly
below the 'Failed to send Telegram message' traceback on every boot.
Now inspects result.success and logs WARNING with the error otherwise.
2. WhatsApp bridge SIGTERM on shutdown classified as fatal error
_check_managed_bridge_exit() saw the bridge's returncode -15 (our own
SIGTERM from disconnect()) and fired the full fatal-error path,
producing 'ERROR ... WhatsApp bridge process exited unexpectedly' plus
'Fatal whatsapp adapter error (whatsapp_bridge_exited)' on every
planned shutdown, immediately before the normal '✓ whatsapp
disconnected'. Adds a _shutting_down flag that disconnect() sets
before the terminate, and _check_managed_bridge_exit() returns None
for returncode in {0, -2, -15} while shutting down. OOM-kill (137)
and other non-signal exits still hit the fatal path.
3. restart_drain_timeout default 60s → 180s
On 2026-05-02 01:43:27 a user /restart fired while three agents were
mid-API-call (82s, 112s, 154s into their turns). The 60s drain budget
expired and all three were force-interrupted. 180s covers realistic
in-flight agent turns; users on very-long-reasoning models can still
raise it further via agent.restart_drain_timeout in config.yaml.
Existing explicit user values are preserved by deep-merge.
Tests
- tests/gateway/test_restart_notification.py: two new tests assert INFO
is only logged on SendResult(success=True) and WARNING with the error
string is logged on SendResult(success=False).
- tests/gateway/test_whatsapp_connect.py: parametrized test for
returncode in {0, -2, -15} proves shutdown-time exits are suppressed;
separate test proves returncode 137 (SIGKILL/OOM) still surfaces as
fatal even when _shutting_down is set.
- _check_managed_bridge_exit() reads _shutting_down via getattr-with-
default so existing _make_adapter() test helpers that bypass __init__
(pitfall #17 in AGENTS.md) keep working unmodified.
Replace per-request aiohttp.ClientSession() in every WhatsApp adapter
method with a single persistent self._http_session, matching the pattern
used by Mattermost, HomeAssistant, and SMS adapters.
Changes:
- Create self._http_session in connect(), close in disconnect()
- All bridge HTTP calls (send, edit, send-media, typing, get_chat_info,
poll_messages) now use the shared session
- Explicitly cancel _poll_task on disconnect() instead of relying
solely on self._running = False
- Health-check sessions in connect() remain ephemeral (persistent
session not yet created at that point)
- Remove per-method ImportError guards for aiohttp (always available
when gateway runs via [messaging] extras)
Salvaged from PR #1851 by Himess. The _poll_task storage was already
on main from PR #3267; this adds the disconnect cancellation and the
persistent session.
Tests: 4 new tests for session close, already-closed skip, poll task
cancellation, and done-task skip.
* feat: OpenAI-compatible API server platform adapter
Salvaged from PR #956, updated for current main.
Adds an HTTP API server as a gateway platform adapter that exposes
hermes-agent via the OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs.
Any OpenAI-compatible frontend (Open WebUI, LobeChat, LibreChat,
AnythingLLM, NextChat, ChatBox, etc.) can connect by pointing at
http://localhost:8642/v1.
Endpoints:
- POST /v1/chat/completions — stateless Chat Completions API
- POST /v1/responses — stateful Responses API with chaining
- GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
- DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
- GET /v1/models — list hermes-agent as available model
- GET /health — health check
Features:
- Real SSE streaming via stream_delta_callback (uses main's streaming)
- In-memory LRU response store for Responses API conversation chaining
- Named conversations via 'conversation' parameter
- Bearer token auth (optional, via API_SERVER_KEY)
- CORS support for browser-based frontends
- System prompt layering (frontend system messages on top of core)
- Real token usage tracking in responses
Integration points:
- Platform.API_SERVER in gateway/config.py
- _create_adapter() branch in gateway/run.py
- API_SERVER_* env vars in hermes_cli/config.py
- Env var overrides in gateway/config.py _apply_env_overrides()
Changes vs original PR #956:
- Removed streaming infrastructure (already on main via stream_consumer.py)
- Removed Telegram reply_to_mode (separate feature, not included)
- Updated _resolve_model() -> _resolve_gateway_model()
- Updated stream_callback -> stream_delta_callback
- Updated connect()/disconnect() to use _mark_connected()/_mark_disconnected()
- Adapted to current Platform enum (includes MATTERMOST, MATRIX, DINGTALK)
Tests: 72 new tests, all passing
Docs: API server guide, Open WebUI integration guide, env var reference
* feat(whatsapp): make reply prefix configurable via config.yaml
Reworked from PR #1764 (ifrederico) to use config.yaml instead of .env.
The WhatsApp bridge prepends a header to every outgoing message.
This was hardcoded to '⚕ *Hermes Agent*'. Users can now customize
or disable it via config.yaml:
whatsapp:
reply_prefix: '' # disable header
reply_prefix: '🤖 *My Bot*\n───\n' # custom prefix
How it works:
- load_gateway_config() reads whatsapp.reply_prefix from config.yaml
and stores it in PlatformConfig.extra['reply_prefix']
- WhatsAppAdapter reads it from config.extra at init
- When spawning bridge.js, the adapter passes it as
WHATSAPP_REPLY_PREFIX in the subprocess environment
- bridge.js handles undefined (default), empty (no header),
or custom values with \\n escape support
- Self-chat echo suppression uses the configured prefix
Also fixes _config_version: was 9 but ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION had a
key 10 (TAVILY_API_KEY), so existing users at v9 would never be
prompted for Tavily. Bumped to 10 to close the gap. Added a
regression test to prevent this from happening again.
Credit: ifrederico (PR #1764) for the bridge.js implementation
and the config version gap discovery.

fuser command does not exist on Windows, causing orphaned bridge processes
to never be cleaned up. On crash recovery, the port stays occupied and the
next connect() fails with address-already-in-use.
Add _kill_port_process() helper that uses netstat+taskkill on Windows and
fuser on Linux/macOS. Replace both call sites in connect() and disconnect().
