* feat(tui): rename /billing slash command to /topup
Behavior-preserving rename of the /billing command surface to /topup.
Changes: billing.ts → topup.ts (export topupCommands, name 'topup', new
help string), registry.ts import+spread updated, billingOverlay.tsx
overview header 'Usage credits' → 'Top up credits', billingCommand.test.ts
→ topupCommand.test.ts with import/lookup/call updated. RPC method names
(billing.state, billing.charge, etc.) and component/symbol names unchanged.
* refactor(tui): extract overlay primitives to shared module
Lift MenuRow, ActionRow, footer, and barCells() out of billingOverlay.tsx
into overlayPrimitives.tsx so the upcoming subscriptionOverlay.tsx can
import them instead of duplicating. spendBar now calls barCells() —
output is byte-identical. Pure behavior-preserving refactor.
* feat(tui): add /subscription + /topup CTAs to /usage output
Every /usage render now ends with 'Run /subscription to change plan
· /topup to add credits' — both the healthy (with-calls) and depleted
(no-calls) paths. Strings-only change, no WS1 dependency.
* feat(tui): add subscription wire types
Add SubscriptionTierOption, SubscriptionStateResponse, and
SubscriptionManageLinkResponse to gatewayTypes.ts. Type-only — no
usages yet. Mirrors the BillingStateResponse conventions (snake_case,
Decimals as strings) and reuses BillingErrorPayload for error mapping.
* feat(gateway): add subscription.state + subscription.manage_link RPCs
- agent/subscription_view.py: SubscriptionState dataclass + fail-open
build_subscription_state() (mirrors billing_view pattern) +
get_subscription_manage_link() for the Stripe deep-link.
- hermes_cli/nous_billing.py: get_subscription_state() +
post_subscription_manage_link() HTTP helpers for the two NAS endpoints
(WS1 Phase A/C). The manage-link endpoint raises BillingScopeRequired
when Remote-Spending is missing (Phase 4 step-up trigger).
- tui_gateway/server.py: _serialize_subscription_state() +
subscription.state RPC (fail-open) + subscription.manage_link RPC
(returns {ok,kind,url} or typed error envelope via
_serialize_billing_error). NOT added to _LONG_HANDLERS — synchronous
HTTP round-trip, not a device flow.
* feat(tui): add subscription overlay state types + store slot
Add SubscriptionScreen, SubscriptionOverlayCtx, SubscriptionOverlayState
to interfaces.ts and a 'subscription' slot to OverlayState. Wire it into
overlayStore.ts (buildOverlayState + $isBlocked). NOT added to
resetFlowOverlays preserve list — flow-scoped like billing, drops on
turn end.
* feat(tui): build SubscriptionOverlay — overview + confirm + handoff
Pure-render Ink component mirroring billingOverlay.tsx's structure.
Overview screen covers all 5 states (free-upgradeable, mid-tier,
top-tier, not-admin, downgrade-pending) + dunning. Confirm screen is
y/n deep-link to Stripe (NO in-terminal charge). Handoff is the
transient 'Opening Stripe' screen. Imports shared primitives from
overlayPrimitives.tsx. 8 render tests via renderSync covering every
state.
* feat(tui): add /subscription command + overlay wiring
- subscription.ts: SubscriptionOverlayCtx closure (openManageLink,
refreshState, requestRemoteSpending) + run handler that fetches
subscription.state and opens the overlay. Alias /upgrade.
- registry.ts: spread subscriptionCommands into SLASH_COMMANDS.
- appOverlays.tsx: render SubscriptionOverlay when overlay.subscription set.
- useInputHandlers.ts: Esc closes subscription overlay; promptOverlay OR
includes subscription so input is intercepted while open.
- subscriptionCommand.test.ts: 4 tests (fetch+open, logged-out sys line,
/upgrade alias, /subscription resolves).
* fix(tui/subscription): stop saying Stripe in deep-link copy + fix manage link kind type
Replace all user-facing 'Stripe' mentions in the /subscription overlay and
sys messages with 'your subscription page' — the deep-link target is NAS's
own /manage-subscription page, not the Stripe hosted portal. Stripe only
legitimately appears later at actual Checkout. Also add 'manage' to the
SubscriptionManageLinkResponse.kind union (NAS emits kind:'manage'; was
previously missing from the TypeScript type causing silent narrowing errors).
* feat(tui/subscription): render cancellation-scheduled note with headline precedence
Parse cancelAtPeriodEnd + cancellationEffectiveAt from the NAS contract
(camelCase) in the agent parser (_parse_current), emit cancel_at_period_end
+ cancellation_effective_at from the gateway serializer, extend the
SubscriptionStateResponse type, and render a warn note in OverviewScreen:
'Cancels on {date} — your plan stays active until then.'
Headline precedence when multiple flags co-occur:
past-due > cancel-scheduled > downgrade-pending > active
The downgradeNote guard is tightened to suppress when cancel is scheduled,
so at most one status line renders at a time.
* feat(tui/subscription): team-context screen — redirect to /topup for team orgs
Parse the NAS context:'personal'|'team' field (defaults to 'personal' for
unknown/missing values), emit it on the gateway wire, add it to
SubscriptionStateResponse. When context is 'team', SubscriptionOverlay
renders a dedicated read-only screen instead of the tier picker:
'This terminal is connected to {org_name}. Teams run on shared
credits — use /topup to add funds. Personal subscriptions live
on your personal account.'
The screen closes on Enter or Esc. The personal/tier-picker path is
unchanged.
* fix(subscription): drop manage-link gateway RPC, build URL locally
The NAS POST /api/billing/subscription/manage-link endpoint was dropped
(it added no server work — the target is the static /manage-subscription
page, not a Stripe-minted secret). Build the URL client-side instead:
{portal_base}/manage-subscription?org_id=<org.id>.
- Remove subscription.manage_link gateway RPC (server.py)
- Remove get_subscription_manage_link helper (subscription_view.py)
- Remove post_subscription_manage_link (nous_billing.py)
- Remove SubscriptionManageLinkResponse type (gatewayTypes.ts)
- Add org_id to SubscriptionState + wire through serializer + TS type
- openManageLink() builds the URL locally via buildManageUrl(), opens
it with the existing openExternalUrl(), no gateway round-trip
- Drop targetTierId param from openManageLink (v1 sends everyone to
/manage-subscription; no tier deep-link needed)
- Fix stale test expectations (Stripe copy → subscription page copy)
* chore(subscription): drop unused format_money import
* feat(cli): /subscription + /upgrade, /billing→/topup rename, /usage CTAs
Add the classic-CLI half of the terminal billing surface to match the TUI:
- /subscription (alias /upgrade) command + /topup (renamed /billing, keeps
'billing' as a back-compat alias) in the command registry.
- Drop the stale 'billing' entry from _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY (now cli_only).
* feat(subscription): CLI /subscription handler, drop dunning, current:null no-plan
- CLI _show_subscription mirrors the TUI overlay (plan read + tier list + usage
bar + browser deep-link via subscription_manage_url); credits render as counts.
- Adapt to the updated NAS read contract: remove is_past_due/dunning everywhere
(a card-failing subscriber returns as a normal plan now), and treat no-plan as
current:null (parser returns None) rather than an all-null object.
- HERMES_DEV_SUBSCRIPTION_FIXTURE env-driven fixtures + ui-tui fixture harness
drive every state (CLI + live TUI) with no portal.
Verified against handoff 2026-06-24_subscription-tui-handoff.md.
* feat(billing): CF-4 Remote-Spending revoked-terminal UX (NAS PR #481)
Wire the Remote-Spending gate denial contract end to end:
- nous_billing: BillingRemoteSpendingRevoked (403 remote_spending_revoked →
reconnect) + BillingSessionRevoked (401 session_revoked → re-login), distinct
from insufficient_scope; capture actor/code/recovery; 503 stays transient.
- gateway _serialize_billing_error threads the new typed kinds + actor/code/
recovery to the TUI.
- TUI renderBillingError: actor-aware revoke copy, kills the spend overlay
immediately (no 15-min zombie button), handles session_revoked, the dual-
emitted cli_billing_disabled/remote_spending_disabled, role_required,
idempotency_conflict; poll treats a mid-poll revoke as ambiguous (check
balance before retry), not a failure.
- CLI _billing_render_charge_error: same denial matrix, actor-aware copy.
Tests: gate-contract mapping + envelope (py) and revoke/session/disabled (TUI).
Per handoff 2026-06-24_remote-spending-TUI-contract-handoff.md.
* refactor(subscription): remove dead step-up scaffolding from /subscription
/subscription only opens a browser deep-link to manage-subscription — that needs
no billing scope, so it can never hit insufficient_scope. Drop the never-fired
'stepup' screen type, requestRemoteSpending ctx fn, and resumeScreen bookkeeping
(leftovers from a superseded plan). The resumable step-up lives on /topup, where
the charge actually gets gated.
* feat(tui/topup): resumable 'Allow Remote Spending' step-up on the charge path
Phase 4: when a charge returns insufficient_scope, the /topup modal no longer
tears down with a 'run /billing again' ConfirmReq. Instead it stays MOUNTED and
switches to a step-up screen:
- charge() is now awaitable, returning a discriminated outcome (submitted |
needs_remote_spending | error) so the overlay can route without closing.
- StepUpScreen: 'Allow Remote Spending' → await the device-flow grant (browser
opens via the existing out-of-band billing.step_up.verification event) →
replay the held charge (pendingCharge.amount) and settle, with no command
re-run. Never surfaces the raw billing:manage scope.
- armStepUp's fire-and-forget ConfirmReq replaced by requestRemoteSpending();
the leaky 'billing:manage' / 'Re-authorize' / 'run /billing again' copy is gone.
Tests: charge-outcome routing, step-up grant/deny, and a render test asserting
the step-up copy holds the amount and never leaks billing:manage.
Per handoff 2026-06-24_remote-spending-TUI-contract-handoff.md §2 (Grady #6).
* feat(billing): shared dollar usage model + two-bar view (drop "credits")
Single source of truth for the /usage and /subscription usage bars across
TUI + CLI. Reads the NAS account-info dollar fields (subscription/top-up/total
remaining, monthly allowance, renewal) and produces a surface-agnostic model:
two full-resolution bars (plan allowance + purchased top-up), a status
classification (free | healthy | low | depleted), and a human renewal date.
- agent/billing_usage.py: UsageModel/UsageBar, usage_model_from_account
(fail-open), build_usage_model (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE-aware),
format_renews (ISO -> "Jul 24, 2026", Windows-safe), $5 low-balance threshold.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _serialize_usage_model/_serialize_usage_bar, a
usage.bars RPC, and the model embedded into subscription.state so the overlay
renders the same bars from its single fetch.
- Dollars only, never "credits"; two separate bars (not a crammed
three-segment one) for legibility at terminal widths.
- tests/agent/test_billing_usage.py: status classification, bar math
(clamp/over-cap), NaN/Inf rejection, fail-open invariants.
* feat(tui): dollar usage bars on /usage + /subscription, drop tier picker
Render the shared two-bar dollar model in both overlays; strip "credits" and
the in-terminal tier selection per UX feedback.
- overlayPrimitives.tsx: UsageBars (themed plan/top-up bars — gold allowance,
green top-up) + usageBarsText for the /usage panel. Plan name labels the
bar; "$X left of $Y · N% used" (disambiguated so the % matches); top-up
"never expires".
- subscriptionOverlay.tsx: status line dedupes ($X left once; bar carries the
breakdown), human renewal date, state-matched nudges (free upsell / <$5
low alert) with box-safe ASCII markers (! / >) instead of the width-unstable
emoji that broke the border. Tier picker removed — overview shows usage +
plan, then "Manage on portal" / "Close" (free users get "Start a
subscription"). No "credits" anywhere.
- session.ts: /usage renders the dollar bars + balance summary, falling back
to the legacy credits lines only when the model is unavailable; CTA reworded.
- gatewayTypes.ts: UsageModelData/UsageBarData wire types + usage on
SessionUsageResponse/SubscriptionStateResponse.
- Tests updated to the new contract (no "credits", "left of", dedup, markers).
* feat(cli): mirror dollar usage bars on /usage + /subscription
CLI parity with the TUI billing rework, from the same shared usage model.
- _print_nous_credits_block (/usage) and _subscription_overview render the
two-bar dollar view (plan name on the bar, "$X left of $Y · N% used",
top-up "never expires", total spendable) instead of the credits-worded block.
- Dollars only — dropped the tier catalog (no more "$N/mo (… credits)") and
every user-facing "credits"; team copy says "shared balance".
- Human renewal date via the shared format_renews; status line dedupes the
"$X left"; free upsell + <$5 low alert with ASCII markers.
- /subscription manage modal no longer dumps the raw manage-subscription URL
in its detail — the [1] Open / [2] Copy link / [3] Cancel options carry it.
Title is "Manage your subscription" (no in-terminal plan change). The raw URL
stays only in the non-interactive / not-admin fallbacks, which have no menu.
- /usage token-usage panel (model, tokens, cost, context) left untouched.
* feat(billing): embed dollar usage model into billing.state for /topup
The /topup overview renders the same two-bar dollar usage (plan + top-up) as
/usage and /subscription. Embed the shared usage model into the billing.state
RPC payload (mirrors subscription.state) so the overlay gets the bars from its
single fetch, and add the `usage` field to BillingStateResponse.
* feat(tui/topup): reorder overview + in-flight reauth with press-Enter resume
Reworks the /topup overlay per the Jun 19 review and the no-preflight decision.
Overview:
- Balance leads in the title ("Top up · balance $X"); the shared two-bar dollar
usage (plan + top-up) renders below. Dropped the old monthly-cap spend bar.
- "Add funds" is the first action (was "Buy credits"); auto-reload / monthly
limit / manage-on-portal follow. Dollars only — no "credits" anywhere.
- No "Enable terminal billing" menu item and NO scope preflight: whether the
terminal can charge is discovered reactively at pay time. (We deliberately do
not read/refresh the OAuth token to gate UI.)
Step-up (reached only on a charge's insufficient_scope 403):
- New 4-phase flow that keeps the modal mounted: prompt (one-time-setup
heads-up) → waiting (browser authorize) → granted (explicit "Press Enter to
resume") → replay the held charge → settle. The press-Enter beat is the
reassuring "you're back, finish your purchase" moment.
- Renamed user copy "Allow Remote Spending" → "Enable terminal billing"; never
leaks the raw billing:manage scope (guarded by the render test).
- topup.ts error copy de-crufted to terminal-billing wording, emoji removed.
Tests: step-up prompt copy, the no-raw-scope invariant, and new overview tests
(balance-in-title, Add-funds-first, two-bar usage, no "credits").
* feat(cli/topup): mirror overview reorder + in-flight reauth resume
CLI parity with the TUI /topup rehaul, from the same shared usage model.
- _billing_overview: balance in the title, the two-bar dollar usage (plan name
on the plan bar, top-up "never expires") in place of the old cap spend bar,
"Add funds" first, dollars throughout — no "credits", no scope preflight.
- _billing_handle_scope_required: now takes the held amount + idempotency key
and runs the in-flight flow — "Enable terminal billing" → browser device-flow
→ re-check the org kill-switch → press-Enter to resume → replay the held
charge (reusing the key so a double-submit collapses to one). Stops leaking
the raw billing:manage scope.
- Charge-error + buy/auto-reload copy de-crufted to terminal-billing/dollars.
- Tests updated to the new overview + buy copy.
* fix(billing): guard non-JSON 2xx responses in the billing HTTP client
A 2xx response with a non-JSON body — e.g. a reverse-proxy / SPA fallback HTML
page served when a billing route isn't actually mounted on a deployment — hit
json.loads() on the success path of _request() and raised a raw
json.JSONDecodeError. That escaped the typed-BillingError contract, so callers'
`except BillingError` missed it and fell through to a generic fail-open that
rendered as a misleading "not logged in" (observed when /api/billing/subscription
was briefly unshipped on staging: 200 text/html, x-matched-path /[...notFound]).
Now a non-JSON 2xx body raises a typed BillingError(error="endpoint_unavailable")
so surfaces degrade gracefully ("could not load …") instead of crashing or
mislabeling a valid session as logged-out. The 4xx/5xx path already guarded its
.json(); this closes the same hole on the success path.
Test: tests/hermes_cli/test_nous_billing_request.py — non-JSON 2xx → typed
error (not JSONDecodeError, not BillingAuthError), empty body → {}, valid JSON
parses.
* feat(billing/dev): add HERMES_DEV_BILLING_FIXTURE for offline card/scope testing
build_billing_state short-circuits to a fixture when HERMES_DEV_BILLING_FIXTURE
is set (mirrors HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE for the usage model). States:
nocard | card | card-autoreload | notadmin | billing-off | logged-out — so the
card-on-file gate, admin role, and kill-switch paths are exercisable offline
without a live portal. Env-var gated; returns None when unset (no prod leak).
Adds 8 behavior tests asserting the card/admin/billing-on contract per state.
* refactor(billing): fold /credits into /topup
/credits is redundant now that /topup shows the dollar balance + portal handoff.
Make 'credits' (and 'billing') aliases of /topup so typing /credits still works,
resolving to topup everywhere (CLI, gateway, Slack, TUI, autocomplete, help).
Remove the standalone /credits surface across 6 places:
- CLI _show_credits handler + dispatch
- gateway _handle_credits_command -> renamed _handle_topup_command, copy softened
to 'Manage billing on the portal' (the messaging billing surface; /topup is now
gateway-available so messaging keeps billing — credits was the only one before)
- TUI commands/credits.ts + creditsCommand.test.ts (deleted), registry entry
- tui_gateway credits.view RPC + the CreditsViewResponse type
- Slack _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY: credits -> topup
Sweep user-facing /credits -> /topup (usage-block hint, depletion notice) and
stale doc-comments. OpenRouter's /credits endpoint URL left untouched. Tests
updated (test_credits_folds_into_topup) or pruned for the removed symbols.
* fix(billing): card-on-file heads-up, no-card portal gate, /usage bar ordering, modal glyph
In-terminal charge (POST /charge against the org's server-held card, no card ref
leaves the client):
- card present: confirm screen shows 'Your card saved on the portal will be
charged' + a 'Manage on portal' escape option (CLI); heads-up line (TUI)
- no card on file: /topup overview + buy flow detect it and route to the portal
to add a card, instead of offering a charge that 403s no_payment_method
/usage bar ordering: route the dollar block through _cprint consistently. The
Plan: line (_cprint) and the bar (raw print) flushed to different buffers under
patch_stdout and interleaved nondeterministically; now Plan: -> bar -> status/CTA
is stable across all states.
Modal glyph: strip the leading emoji from bordered _prompt_text_input_modal
titles — it measures 1 char but renders 2 columns, shifting the box's right
border (the stray '|'). Includes the f-string 'Pay $X?' title.
Small /credits -> /topup string bits in cli.py ride along with the surrounding
charge edits (the fold lives in the sibling refactor commit).
* refactor(billing): apply safe simplify-pass fixes
Three low-risk cleanups from a parallel simplify review (reuse/quality/efficiency):
- dev fixture portal URL: reuse the prod host (was drifted to staging-* — a real
mismatch vs subscription_view's _DEV_FIXTURE_PORTAL)
- TUI billingOverlay choose(): collapse two byte-identical branches (needsCard +
the not-full else both = portal-or-close at index 0) into one tail; the only
divergent path (full && !needsCard → buy/auto/limit) stays explicit
- /topup overview comment: correct the stale 'buy_flow detects no_payment_method'
note (the overview's no-card gate fires first, so reaching Add funds implies a
card on file)
Skipped (judgment): the orphaned CreditsView.depleted field (harmless, on a live
dataclass), the defensive card gates in _billing_buy_flow/_confirm_and_charge
(cheap correct defense on the money path), and folding the no-card handoff into a
shared helper (touches 4 money-path sites for tidiness — not worth the risk here).
* fix(billing): reactive charge gating — drop card preflight, react to 403 (scope→reauth, no-card→portal)
* refactor(billing): drop the /credits alias entirely
The /credits fold made it an alias of /topup; now remove that too. Typing
/credits is an unknown command, not a silent redirect — billing lives only on
/topup (with /billing kept as the old command's back-compat name). Dropped the
alias from the registry CommandDef and the TUI topup.ts; updated the test to
assert /credits resolves to nothing (no command, no alias).
* docs(billing): fix stale comment in _billing_overview — describe reactive no-card path
The comment still described the removed overview-level card gate ('no-card case
handled above'). Corrected to: the buy flow reacts to the server's
no_payment_method 403 and hands off to the portal at charge time (no preflight).
* refactor(billing): simplify-pass — share usage-payload helper, drop dead bar wire fields + redundant admin gate
* refactor(billing): drop the /billing alias too — /topup is the only billing command
Following /credits removal, retire the old /billing name as well. /topup now has
NO aliases — both /credits and /billing are unknown commands. Dropped the alias
from the registry CommandDef and TUI topup.ts; fixed the one live user-facing
straggler (the not-logged-in message said 'then /billing' → /topup) and the
_show_billing docstring/default-arg references. Test asserts /topup carries no
aliases and neither old name resolves.
* fix(billing): code-review fixes — money-path + parity bugs
Money path (TUI):
- auto-reload "Turn off" now echoes current threshold/top_up_amount so the
PATCH succeeds (was sending {enabled:false} → invalid_request → stayed ON)
- charge poll honors the 5-min cap on the 429/503 throttle branch too (was
rescheduling forever); cap folded into one timedOut() helper
- step-up resume reacts to the replay outcome instead of unconditionally
closing on a reassuring line with no charge made
- synchronous submit guard on Confirm so two key events can't double-charge
Gateway:
- billing.step_up routes typed errors through _serialize_billing_error (was a
raw {error:'error'} dict → generic copy for session_revoked)
- billing.state / subscription.state / usage.bars / session.usage moved to
_LONG_HANDLERS (blocking portal HTTP no longer stalls the main stdin loop)
CLI:
- _billing_render_charge_error handles insufficient_scope without leaking the
raw billing:manage scope name on a post-grant replay re-raise
Python model:
- subscription_view tier parse None-coalesces tierOrder/dollarsPerMonth so a
free tier's 0 survives ($0, not "—"; correct sort order)
TUI parity/robustness:
- /usage shows formatted renews_display, not raw ISO renews_at
- subscription overview guards a null pending_downgrade_at (was "on null.")
- subscription overview surfaces a message instead of silently closing when
portal_url is missing
- buildManageUrl wraps new URL() so a malformed portal_url can't throw out of
the Ink key handler
* fix(billing): cross-surface bar direction, formatted cancel/downgrade dates, Slack alias gating
- CLI plan bar now fills by REMAINING (fuel-gauge), matching the shared model's
fill_fraction, the top-up bar, and the TUI — same account renders identically
on both surfaces (#8)
- subscription serializer emits cancellation_effective_display /
pending_downgrade_display (format_renews); TUI shows 'Jul 1, 2026' not raw ISO (#14b)
- _SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY now includes the 'billing' alias so it follows its
canonical /topup via /hermes instead of leaking a native Slack slot (#9)
* fix(billing): thread idempotency key through the TUI step-up replay (#2)
Mint a stable idempotency key when the purchase amount is chosen; it rides
pendingCharge into both the Confirm charge and the post-grant step-up replay,
so a retried charge dedups server-side (the gateway already echoes the key).
A fresh amount selection gets a fresh key. Combined with the sync submit guard,
a double-submit now collapses to one charge.
* refactor(billing): remove dead /subscription tier-picker scaffolding (#18)
The in-terminal plan picker was cut (deep-link only), leaving a whole unreached
state machine. Removed end-to-end:
- TUI: ConfirmScreen, HandoffScreen, the 'confirm'/'handoff' screen types,
pendingTargetTierId, and the now-dead onPatch threading (collapsed the dispatch
to a single overview screen + folded the duplicate Box wrapper)
- gateway: the tiers serialization + SubscriptionTierOption wire type
- model: SubscriptionTier, _parse_tier, _coalesce, _dev_tiers and the tiers field
(never displayed on either surface, so this supersedes the tier-parse fix)
- tests: dropped the confirm/handoff/tier-passthrough tests; slimmed the overview
render tests
Net: a large dead-code cull (no behavior change — the picker never ran).
* test(billing): parametrize usage-model tests; drop dead is_low/is_free props
Collapse the fail-open + status-classification cases into parametrized tables
(same coverage, ~80 fewer lines) and remove the now-unused UsageModel.is_low /
is_free properties (only a test pinned them).
* fix(billing): revert dead 'billing' Slack-via-hermes entry — the alias was dropped
#9 was based on a stale review diff: /billing is no longer an alias of /topup
(dropped earlier), so routing it via /hermes filtered a name that doesn't exist.
* test(billing): cull redundant TUI billing tests (parametrize, merge dupes)
usageCommand: collapse 3 CTA tests into one + a panel helper.
billingStepUp: merge the two step-up render asserts.
topupCommand: parametrize requestRemoteSpending + the revoked-actor pair, drop
the redundant happy-path-submitted test. Money-path + error-mapping coverage
preserved.
* refactor(billing): extract _usage_bar_lines — one source of truth for the CLI bars
The plan + top-up bar format was copy-pasted across _print_nous_credits_block,
_subscription_overview, and _billing_overview. Extract a helper returning the
ready-to-print lines; each caller keeps its own print fn (the _cprint-ordering
constraint stays) and resolves its plan-name label. Centralizes the format so
the three surfaces can't drift.
* feat(billing): NAS V3 subscription-change HTTP client wrappers
Add the four write-side wrappers for the V3 subscription contract to nous_billing,
each a thin _request() call (reusing auth, JSON, 401-retry, typed errors):
- post_subscription_preview → POST /subscription/preview (chargeless quote)
- put_subscription_pending_change→ PUT /subscription/pending-change (downgrade/cancel)
- delete_subscription_pending_change → DELETE .../pending-change (resume/undo)
- post_subscription_upgrade → POST /subscription/upgrade (the money route)
pending-change takes a discriminated body (tier_change | cancellation); upgrade
requires an Idempotency-Key (mandatory, validated client-side before any I/O).
Tests assert the exact method/path/body/header each wrapper puts on the wire.
* feat(billing): subscription tier catalog + change-preview models
Reinstate the catalog the in-terminal picker needs (was culled when /subscription
was deep-link-only): SubscriptionTier + SubscriptionState.tiers + _parse_tier, with
_coalesce so the free tier's 0 tierOrder/price survives a falsy-or. Parse the
catalog from GET /subscription's tiers and seed _dev_tiers into every fixture.
Add SubscriptionChangePreview + subscription_change_preview_from_payload for the
POST /preview quote (effect/amountDueNowCents/effectiveAt/reason + tier delta); a
malformed/missing effect fails safe to 'blocked' so a bad quote never reads as a
charge. Module docstring updated: the overlay is no longer deep-link-only.
* feat(billing): gateway RPCs for the V3 subscription change flow
Add subscription.preview / .change / .resume / .upgrade RPCs, each wrapping its
nous_billing call and reusing _serialize_billing_error for the typed envelope
(so a 403 still drives the device step-up). upgrade mints + echoes the
idempotency key and surfaces status + recovery_url so the TUI can route an
SCA/decline to the portal. Re-add the tier catalog to _serialize_subscription_state
(price pre-formatted) for the picker. All four are pool-routed (_LONG_HANDLERS) —
preview + upgrade hit Stripe and must not stall the main stdin loop.
* feat(billing): in-terminal subscription change flow (TUI)
/subscription is no longer deep-link-only: it drives the change in-terminal
against the V3 contract via the new gateway RPCs. The overlay is a state machine
overview → picker → confirm → result:
- picker lists the tier catalog with upgrade/downgrade hints (current + free
excluded; free=cancel, on the overview);
- confirm shows the previewed effect — pay $X now (upgrade) / scheduled at date
(downgrade) / cancel at period end / blocked-with-reason — then applies it;
- an upgrade's SCA/decline routes to the portal via the result screen's recovery
link; resume/cancel/downgrade are chargeless.
Starting a NEW subscription still deep-links (needs a fresh card). insufficient_scope
points to /topup (the step-up stays there, not duplicated here). Adds the wire
types (tiers + preview/upgrade responses), widens the overlay ctx + screen state,
and threads onPatch. Render tests cover every screen.
* feat(billing): in-terminal step-up + clearer scheduled-change UX (TUI)
Two improvements to the /subscription overlay:
Step-up re-auth in place. When a mutation (preview/change/upgrade/resume) returns
insufficient_scope, route to a new 'stepup' screen that grants terminal billing
via billing.step_up and AUTO-REPLAYS the held action on grant — no bounce to
/topup. Scope routing is centralized in previewAndRoute/applyPendingAndRoute/
resumeAndRoute (shared by the picker, confirm, overview + the step-up replay). The
browser opens via the shared global verification handler; copy never leaks the raw
billing:manage scope.
Make a scheduled change unmissable. A downgrade/cancel was one buried warn line
that read as 'nothing happened'. Now the overview leads with a banner
(⏳ Scheduled change · Ultra ──▶ Plus · <date> · you keep Ultra until then), the
status line echoes the transition (Plan: Ultra → Plus), 'Keep <tier> (undo)' is
promoted to the first olive action, the result screen says 'your plan doesn't
change today', and confirm gets a charged-now / scheduled chip.
* feat(billing): full in-terminal subscription change flow in the classic CLI
Bring the CLI to parity with the TUI overlay — /subscription is no longer
deep-link-only. A paid admin/owner gets picker → preview → confirm → apply,
mirroring the /topup buy flow's modal idioms:
- _subscription_change_menu (change / undo-or-cancel / manage-on-portal),
- _subscription_pick_tier (catalog with upgrade/downgrade hints),
- _subscription_preview_and_confirm (POST /preview → effect-aware confirm),
- _subscription_apply (schedule / cancel / resume chargeless; upgrade charges
the sub's card, SCA/decline → portal),
- _subscription_handle_scope_required (insufficient_scope → step_up_nous_billing_scope
inline, then replays the held preview/mutation — reusing the upgrade idempotency key).
Also the scheduled-change UX fix: the overview leads with a prominent banner
(⏳ Scheduled change · Super ──▶ Plus · <date> · you keep Super until then) and the
status line echoes the transition, matching the TUI. Members / non-interactive /
free still deep-link. Tests drive every branch via a mocked modal + nous_billing.
* fix(billing): close TUI subscription money-path holes (ultracode review)
- Un-consented charge (P1): the step-up now HOLDS at a 'granted' phase requiring
an explicit Continue, and an abortedRef gates the grant's late .then — a cancel
during the browser flow can no longer replay the held upgrade + charge.
- Missing idempotency key (P2): mint it when building an upgrade 'pending' so it
rides into confirm AND the step-up replay (was always undefined → gateway minted
a fresh key per call, defeating dedup).
- Navigate-away re-charge (P2): confirm 'back' is guarded by submittingRef while an
apply is in flight.
- Ambiguous charge (P2): a transport-null upgrade is reported as 'may or may not
have charged — re-check', never a flat failure that invites a blind retry.
- Typed step-up denial (P2): requestRemoteSpending returns {granted,error,message};
the screen maps session_revoked / remote_spending_revoked / rate_limited to the
right recovery instead of always 'an admin must allow it'.
* fix(billing): close CLI subscription money-path holes (ultracode review)
- Bounded step-up (P2): bust the 30s token cache after a grant (it held the
pre-grant unscoped token; _request only busts on 401, not 403) and replay ONCE
with allow_stepup=False so a still-denied scope can't re-prompt/re-open in a loop.
- Stray-keystroke charge (P3→near-P2): the upgrade confirm defaults to 'Go back',
not 'Pay ' — a bare Enter can't move money.
- Fail-open on unknown effect (P3→near-P2): an unrecognized preview effect now
fails SAFE (portal hand-off) instead of scheduling a real PUT.
- 'cancel' word collision (P3): the Close row uses value 'close' so typing 'cancel'
can't hit it and falsely report 'Cancelled'.
- blocked effect re-offers the portal; undo is promoted to the first row when a
change is pending (TUI parity).
* fix(billing): guard the step-up resume against double-fire (2nd ultracode pass, BUG A)
The P1 fix split the auto-replay into a user-triggered resume() on the granted
screen, where the default row is the charging action — but resume() had no
re-entrancy guard, so a double-Enter fired two replays (the upgrade dedups on the
shared key, but schedule/cancel/resume replays carry none → duplicate PUT/DELETEs).
Mirror billingOverlay.resume(): flip to a 'resuming' phase + a resumingRef so it
fires at most once, and block 'back' once resuming (no re-mount → no second submit).
* fix(billing): CLI charge-route ambiguous-charge caveat (2nd ultracode pass, BUG B)
The TUI hardened upgradeResult(null) but the CLI charging route did not: a
transport/timeout/500 (or unknown 2xx status) on post_subscription_upgrade — after
NAS may have already prorated + charged — printed a flat failure, and a manual
re-run mints a FRESH idempotency key the server can't dedup → a real second charge.
Now the charge route reports 'your card may or may not have been charged — re-run
/subscription to check before trying again' and steers away from a blind retry
(the CLI can't persist the key across a command re-run). Also thread allow_stepup
through the preview→apply replay (BUG C.1) and route the requires_action/
payment_failed portal lines through _cprint for deterministic ordering.
* fix(billing): cap the TUI step-up replay to avoid a resume-deadlock (final pass, R1)
The round-2 resume guard ('resuming' phase + resumingRef) could deadlock: on a
REPEAT insufficient_scope during the post-grant replay, the route helpers did
onPatch({screen:'stepup'}) — a no-op since we're already mounted on stepup (no key
→ no remount) — leaving phase='resuming'/resumingRef=true frozen on 'Applying your
change…'. Thread allowStepUp through previewAndRoute/applyPendingAndRoute/
resumeAndRoute; the resume() replay passes false, so a repeat scope denial surfaces
a 'still isn't enabled' result instead (mirrors the CLI's allow_stepup=False cap).
Also: applyPendingAndRoute(pending=null) now routes to overview, not a stranded
Promise.resolve().
* fix(billing): narrow the CLI ambiguous-charge catch to indeterminate outcomes (final pass, R2)
The round-2 fix caught EVERY non-scope BillingError as 'may or may not have been
charged' — but typed pre-charge rejections (BillingRateLimited 429, BillingSessionRevoked
401, BillingRemoteSpendingRevoked 403, role_required/no_payment_method 4xx) never
reached Stripe, so the ambiguity copy was wrong and dropped their real recovery hints.
Now route those to _subscription_render_error, and reserve the ambiguous copy for
genuinely indeterminate outcomes (network_error / endpoint_unavailable / status None /
5xx). Tests: rate-limit stays deterministic; a real transport failure stays ambiguous.
* feat(billing): card visibility + guided add-card path in /topup and /subscription
Consume the NAS card-resolver contract (card.resolvedVia + chargeability) across
both surfaces, degrading cleanly on today's NAS (fields absent → prior behavior):
- WHICH card: the payment lines render provenance — 'Visa ····4242 — the card on
your subscription' (resolvedVia → label; unknown rung/older NAS → masked card +
the old generic line). Link payment methods render the brand alone (last4 is
empty — never 'Link ····').
- Presence at a glance: the /topup overview now shows 'Card: …' or 'No saved
card on file' for the full-menu case, plus a warning when the resolver marks
the card needs_repair (failing auto-reloads) on overview/buy/confirm.
- Add-card path: with no card on file, 'Add funds' becomes a guided screen —
open the portal billing page, then 'I've added it — check again' re-fetches
billing state and continues straight into the purchase (also recovers a
transient display miss). Cards are never entered in-terminal.
- /subscription upgrade confirm names the exact card ('Visa ····4242 — the card
on your subscription — will be charged'), best-effort via billing.state and
only when the resolution rung matches what a subscription charge actually
uses (subPin/customerDefault, mirroring Stripe's precedence); otherwise the
generic line stands. Fail-soft: any lookup error keeps the generic line.
- Gateway serializes display/resolved_via/needs_repair; TUI ctx gains
refreshState (topup) + fetchCard (subscription); new offline fixtures
card-sub / card-repair.
Tests: TUI ctx mocks extended; CLI suites cover provenance + repair-warning
render, the Link guard, the add-card path (continue-after-recheck + abandon),
the sub-confirm card line, and keep the confirm-time lookup offline in tests.
* fix(billing): consume server canChangePlan, preserve distinct refusal codes, drop dead chargeability
- Parse canChangePlan verbatim from NAS payloads into BillingState and
SubscriptionState; fall back to the legacy OWNER/ADMIN check only when the
server omits the field (FINANCE_ADMIN stops being locked out where NAS
authorizes it). Role model updated to the 5-role enum.
- Add the autoReload.card union (canonical | distinct | none) end-to-end:
parse + gateway serialization, distinct carries payment_method_id/brand/last4
with nullable display fields.
- stripe_unavailable (503, transient) and upgrade_cap_exceeded (429, daily cap)
now survive to the wire as their own codes instead of collapsing into
rate_limited; new exception types subclass BillingRateLimited so existing
backoff call sites keep working.
- Remove card.chargeability / needs_repair parsing, serialization, fixtures and
the cli warning blocks: NAS #670 removed the field, so the repair path was
permanently dead. The future card-health signal belongs to the NAS W1/W3 work.
- Tests: five-role fixtures, canChangePlan override/fallback, all three
auto-reload card variants, 429-vs-503 code preservation end-to-end.
* feat(tui): render the full NAS billing refusal surface
- billingOverlay: divergence notice when auto-refill charges a distinct card
(portal deep-link to reconcile); needs_repair warnings removed with the field.
- topup: explicit copy for consent_required, org_access_denied,
upgrade_cap_exceeded, auto_top_up_disabled_failures and stripe_unavailable
(honors retry_after); processing_error is an explicit charge-failure case;
transport loss during charge polling now reads as an unconfirmed outcome
(check balance before retrying), matching the revocation path.
- subscriptionOverlay: branch on upgrade reason, not status, so an SCA-needing
upgrade routes to portal verification even while NAS pre-#711 labels it
payment_failed; after an upgrade, poll subscription state until the tier
flips (bounded), rendering applying/still-applying rather than assuming
immediacy.
- Capability-neutral refusal copy (owner, admin, or finance admin) replaces
the stale org admin/owner wording.
- gatewayTypes: BillingAutoReload.card union added, needs_repair removed.
* docs(billing): client-side billing state and refusal lifecycle table
Enumerates, from the code, every billing.state shape and typed refusal the
gateway serves and the exact TUI copy + recovery each renders. Acceptance from
the billing-integration handoff: no NAS billing state or typed refusal falls
through to a generic toast; unknown codes still degrade to the default branch
that surfaces the server message.
Same bug family as #47828, at the config-persistence layer instead of
the in-memory agent layer:
- cli.py (#25106): the --global /model handlers (both the typed-name
path in _handle_model_switch and the picker path in
_apply_model_switch_result) wrote model.default/model.provider to
config.yaml but never touched base_url/api_mode at all. A provider
switch left the OLD endpoint on disk; the next launch reconnected to
the previous provider's host under the new model name.
- gateway/slash_commands.py (#25107): both persist-global blocks (the
picker-tap callback and the typed /model --global path) guarded the
write with two INDEPENDENT ifs — `if result.base_url: ...` and
`if target_provider != "custom": clear_model_endpoint_credentials(...)`.
For named providers the second if always cleared stale values, masking
the bug. For a custom provider with an empty resolved base_url, neither
branch fired, so the previous custom endpoint's base_url/api_key/
api_mode survived untouched in config.yaml.
Fix: explicit set-if-truthy/clear-if-falsy for base_url and api_mode at
all four call sites, matching the already-correct pattern in
tui_gateway/server.py:_persist_model_switch (fixed for #48305).

A hermes --tui session whose main thread wedges before app.run() returns
never executes the finally that calls _run_cleanup — the only place the
exit watchdog was armed — so a dead CLI lingered indefinitely (observed
~47 min at 4% CPU, the #65998 class).
Arm the backstop from the SIGTERM/SIGHUP handlers instead (both the
interactive and single-query paths), the earliest moment shutdown intent
is unambiguous. The signal-armed leash is 2x HERMES_EXIT_WATCHDOG_S so a
slow-but-progressing _run_cleanup (which still arms its own tighter timer)
is never cut short; the outer timer only wins when cleanup was never
reached. Idempotent across repeated signals; never raises from a handler.
Deliberately NOT armed at startup: the watchdog thread calls os._exit(0)
unconditionally after its sleep, so a startup-armed timer (the #65998
approach) would hard-kill every session that outlives the timeout.
Supersedes #65998; thanks @JeffStone69 for the report and root-cause gap
analysis.
Add a runtime_validator callback to generate_title() / auto_title_session()
/ maybe_auto_title(). Callers snapshot the session's model+provider when
spawning the background titler; the validator runs right before the LLM
request and skips it silently when the live runtime no longer matches —
so a stale title request can't reload a model that strict_single_load
already evicted after a user model switch. Fail-open: a raising validator
never disables titling.
Wired at all four call sites (cli, gateway, tui_gateway, acp_adapter).
Surgical reapply of PR #19137 (base was 8k+ commits stale; the original
patch predates the pinned-language prompts, the atomic-write helper, and
the moved TUI/ACP call sites). Original work by @Thatgfsj. Closes#19027.
Extract shared hermes_cli/input_sanitize.py (bracketed-paste wrapper stripping
and terminal ~[[e artifact suffix collapse) and wire it into prompt.submit
and the Desktop composer so corrupted user text is cleaned before
messages.content is persisted.
Collapse the six per-surface copies of override-then-global resolution
(CLI startup, gateway, TUI, cron, /model switch, fallback activation)
onto one shared resolve_reasoning_config() in hermes_constants.
Also fixes the gateway resolving reasoning against config model.default
instead of the session's effective model: after a session-only /model
switch, the switched model's override now applies (gateway message paths
pass the resolved session model through _resolve_session_reasoning_config;
/reasoning status reads the session model override).
Cleanup: drop docs/PER_MODEL_REASONING.md (duplicates the website docs
page), drop the change-detector _config_version test (no bump needed —
deep-merge handles new keys), remove a stale plan-reference comment.
Adds chokepoint contract tests (13) and gateway session-effective-model
regression tests (2).
Add agent.reasoning_overrides dict to config.yaml. Users can now set
a reasoning_effort per model, overriding the global agent.reasoning_effort.
Example:
agent:
reasoning_effort: "medium" # global default
reasoning_overrides:
"openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4.5": "xhigh"
"openai/gpt-5": "low"
"claude-sonnet-4.6": "high" # bare model name also works
The helper is spelling-tolerant: override keys match regardless of
provider prefix or dots-vs-dashes normalization, so users can write
keys in any sensible form and they'll match.
Resolution priority:
1. Session-scoped /reasoning --session override (gateway only; unchanged)
2. Per-model override from agent.reasoning_overrides (spelling-tolerant)
3. Global agent.reasoning_effort (existing)
4. Provider default (unchanged)
Wired into:
- CLI startup (cli.py)
- Messaging gateway agent construction (gateway/run.py)
- Desktop/TUI _load_reasoning_config (tui_gateway/server.py)
- Cron job scheduler (cron/scheduler.py)
- /model mid-session switch (agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py)
+ _primary_runtime now tracks reasoning_config for correct fallback recovery
- Fallback activation (agent/chat_completion_helpers.py::try_activate_fallback)
+ Re-resolves reasoning_config for the fallback model (best-effort)
Closes#21256 (per-model reasoning_effort defaults).
Note: no hermes config set agent.reasoning_overrides.<model> support;
users edit the YAML directly. _set_nested splits on "." and would
corrupt model keys containing version dots.
OpenAI lets ChatGPT-plan Codex users bank rate-limit reset credits, but
until now they could only be redeemed from the Codex CLI/app or the
website. This wires the same backend API into Hermes:
- /usage on the openai-codex provider now shows "You have N resets
banked - use /usage reset to activate" (parsed from the
rate_limit_reset_credits field the /usage endpoint already returns).
- New /usage reset subcommand (CLI + gateway) redeems one banked
credit via POST .../rate-limit-reset-credits/consume with a UUID
idempotency key, mirroring codex-rs backend-client semantics
(PathStyle /wham vs /api/codex, ChatGPT-Account-Id header,
reset/nothing_to_reset/no_credit/already_redeemed outcomes).
- Guard: redemption is refused while no rate-limit window is fully
exhausted, since a banked reset restores the FULL 5h + weekly
allowance and spending it early wastes it. /usage reset --force
overrides. Zero banked credits and non-codex providers are refused
with clear messages; nothing_to_reset reports the credit was NOT
spent.
- i18n: new gateway.usage.unknown_subcommand / reset_wrong_provider
keys across all 16 locales; docs updated (cli.md, messaging index).
Tested with unit tests plus a real-socket E2E against a local fake
Codex backend exercising redeem/guard/force and the /usage hint.
Preserve one durable staged input across terminal close and the worker's early turn flush, without duplicating resumed transcripts or creating a session with a null prompt. Fixes#63766.
Retain a distinct CLI history baseline during the signal window before a turn's normal persistence flush. When CLI history aliases the live agent list, use marker-only persistence so a genuinely unflushed tail is written.
tui_gateway forwards reaction_callback as a `reaction` event (shared by the TUI
and the desktop app). The interactive CLI wires reaction_callback to flash the
pet's celebrate ("jump") pose — the CLI's analogue of hearts.
- Return the boundary snapshot from
_launch_session_boundary_memory_flush as a local value instead of
staging it on self._session_boundary_snapshot. The instance-attr
handoff could leak (no memory manager configured) or mis-fire a
stale snapshot on a later /new if an exception hit between staging
and consumption. A local variable eliminates the class; the helper
also returns None when no memory manager is configured so
new_session takes the inline-switch path.
- Drop the now-dead session_id kwarg from commit_memory_session:
after the redesign no production caller passes it (gateway, TUI,
compression all use the default), and speculative params are
rejected per AGENTS.md. The explicit-old-session need is served by
cli.py's direct engine call + commit_session_boundary_async.
- Drop the dead providers snapshot in commit_session_boundary_async
(only the emptiness check used it).
- Tests updated accordingly (dead-kwarg test removed, snapshot
assertion now covered by return-value contract).
Phase-2 gates: 2a tests/cli 1048 passed + 6 memory files 137 passed;
2b programmatic live smoke 0.38ms non-blocking caller, end→switch→sync
ordering verified; 2c structured 4-angle review — no Criticals, these
warnings fixed.
Deep review of the cherry-picked #16454 found the ad-hoc flush thread
raced new_session()'s inline on_session_switch(reset=True): memory
providers key off internal _session_id state (MemoryManager.on_session_end
takes no session id), so a late off-thread extraction ran against
post-rotation bindings — misattributing the old transcript to the new
session id, double-ingesting the old turn buffer (supermemory), or
double-committing (openviking already async-finalizes in
on_session_switch).
Redesign: new MemoryManager.commit_session_boundary_async queues
on_session_end + on_session_switch as ONE task on the manager's existing
single-worker background executor (the same worker sync_all already
uses). This preserves the strict end→switch ordering providers depend on,
serializes against per-turn syncs FIFO, keeps /new non-blocking, and
degrades to inline (pre-#16454 behavior) when the executor is
unavailable. No ad-hoc threads; no per-provider changes needed.
The context-engine on_session_end half stays synchronous in
_launch_session_boundary_memory_flush (cheap, must land before
reset_session_state rebinds the engine).
Exit durability: _run_cleanup calls the manager's existing
flush_pending(timeout=10) barrier before shutdown, so '/new then quit'
doesn't drop the queued extraction (shutdown_all's own drain is ~5s and
cancels queued tasks). Bounded well inside the 30s exit watchdog.
Tests: ordering invariant with slow (LLM-like) extraction, FIFO
serialization vs sync_all, switch-fires-even-if-end-raises, no-provider
no-op, CLI snapshot handoff + inline-switch fallback, sync engine
boundary, cleanup flush_pending.
In single-query (-q) mode, the assistant's final answer was printed and
then immediately erased by _print_exit_summary() — which unconditionally
called _clear_terminal_on_exit() (ESC[3J ESC[2J ESC[H]). The answer was
present in the session store but invisible in the terminal.
The clear is only needed for interactive TUI teardown (#38928) where
prompt_toolkit chrome must be cleaned up. Add a clear_screen parameter
to _print_exit_summary() (default True, preserving interactive behavior)
and pass False from the single-query call site so the answer stays
visible above the exit summary.
Regression tests cover:
- clear_screen=True (default) calls _clear_terminal_on_exit()
- clear_screen=False skips the clear
- Single-query -q path passes False end-to-end
- Interactive path still clears (preserving #38928)
The completion event already carries the dispatching session's session_key
(captured at dispatch time in delegate_tool.py:2798), but the delivery
router ignored it — results landed in whatever session was active at
completion time instead of the session that dispatched the subagent.
Changes:
- drain_notifications() in process_registry.py: optional session_key
filter. Non-matching async_delegation events are re-queued instead of
consumed, so they remain available for the correct session's drain.
- cli.py process_loop: passes active session_key to drain_notifications()
- tui_gateway/server.py post-turn drain: passes session_key from the
TUI session dict
- gateway/run.py _build_process_event_source: logs warning when routing
metadata is unresolvable (previously silent drop)
- Regression tests verifying session-scoped drain filtering
Fixes#58684
The CLI model-switch display (both picker and direct-switch paths)
omitted the custom_providers keyword when calling
resolve_display_context_length(). The function already supports it
(and the gateway correctly passes it), but the CLI call sites relied
on the fallthrough to probe-down default (256K) even when a
custom_providers entry specified a per-model context_length.
Fix: pass agent._custom_providers at both resolve_display_context_length
call sites in HermesCLI._apply_model_switch_result(), matching the
pattern already used for config_context_length.
Follow-up to #59332 targeting the remaining PERCEIVED first-token latency
(the wire streaming was already per-token; these fix what the user sees):
1. display.show_reasoning default ON. On thinking models the reasoning
phase streams for tens of seconds; with the display off users stare
at a spinner the whole time and read it as a stall. Flipped in
DEFAULT_CONFIG, load_cli_config defaults, tui_gateway raw-YAML
fallbacks, and the hermes setup status line (all four read sites kept
in sync). Gateway per-platform defaults intentionally stay off —
messaging chats shouldn't fill with thinking text. /reasoning hide
still turns it off and persists.
2. Response box force-flushes long partial lines. _emit_stream_text only
painted on newline, so a response opening with a long paragraph
stayed invisible until the first \n — seconds of blank box. Now
partial lines wrap at terminal width and paint as tokens arrive
(mirrors the reasoning box's 80-char force-flush that existed since
day one). Table blocks remain batch-aligned; no content loss at wrap
boundaries (regression tests added).
3. hermes_time timezone resolution uses read_raw_config (mtime-cached +
libyaml C loader) instead of a raw yaml.safe_load of config.yaml
(~110-140ms measured) inside the FIRST system prompt build. First
build drops 320ms -> ~155ms on a 200-skill install.
4. Stale docs: configuration.md (en+zh) still documented the 70%/90%
[BUDGET WARNING] tool-result injections. Those were removed in April
2026 (c8aff7463) precisely because they hurt task completion; current
behavior is exhaustion-message + one grace call, no mid-loop
injection, no cache impact. Docs now describe reality.
Verified: token-count compression decisions already use API-reported
last_prompt_tokens (rough estimators are preflight-only and cost ~1.7ms
even on 1.7MB histories — not worth touching).
Four independent pre-request stalls sat on the critical path between
prompt submission and the first streamed token, measured with cProfile
against a live process:
1. Discord capability detection (~2.0s, worst 5s): get_tool_definitions
-> _get_dynamic_schema made a BLOCKING https call to discord.com
inside AIAgent.__init__ for any user with DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN set, on
every platform, every cold process. Now non-blocking: memory cache ->
24h disk cache -> permissive default + one background detection that
seeds the disk cache for the next process. The permissive default is
pinned per-process so tool schemas never flip mid-conversation
(prompt-cache safety); it mirrors the existing detection-failure
fallback (all actions exposed, 403s enriched at call time).
2. Ollama /api/show probe (~0.3s): get_model_context_length step 5e
POSTed to <base_url>/api/show for KNOWN providers (openrouter etc.),
got a 404, and never cached the miss - so every fresh process paid a
full HTTP round-trip. Known non-Ollama providers now skip the probe;
local/custom/unknown endpoints keep the exact previous behavior.
3. env_probe subprocess sweep (~0.5s): the Python-toolchain probe ran
4-8 subprocess calls inside the FIRST system prompt build. Now warmed
off-thread during agent init; the prompt build hits the cache (same
lock, so a mid-flight warm just joins instead of recomputing).
4. tools.mcp_tool import (~0.4s): the between-turns MCP refresh in
build_turn_context imported the whole mcp package even with zero MCP
servers configured. MCP tools can only exist if tools.mcp_tool was
already imported (discovery/reload paths), so gate the import on
sys.modules membership - no behavior change for MCP users.
CLI additionally pre-imports run_agent + openai off-thread during the
idle banner window (same pattern as the /model picker prewarm), hiding
the remaining ~1.5s of module imports while the user types. Fixes 1-4
apply to every interaction layer (CLI, gateway, TUI, desktop, cron).
Measured cold first turn (submit -> request dispatched, openrouter,
discord token set): 4.3s before -> 0.9s after CLI prewarm (~80%); the
agent-side non-import cost drops 2.9s -> 0.36s (init) + 0.27s (turn
prologue).

Inspired by Claude Code v2.1.199 (July 2, 2026): stacked slash-skill
invocations load all leading skills (up to 5), not just the first.
- agent/skill_commands.py: split_stacked_skill_commands() consumes leading
/skill tokens (stops at the first non-skill token so slash-path arguments
are never swallowed); build_stacked_skill_invocation_message() composes
the multi-skill turn reusing the existing bundle scaffolding markers so
extract_user_instruction_from_skill_message() keeps memory providers
storing the user's instruction, not N skill bodies.
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: dispatch the stacked path on both surfaces.
- 11 new tests + docs section in skills.md.
A Z.ai desktop user reported thinking reverting to medium after one turn,
burning ~200% of a week's credits in 4 days despite reasoning_effort: false
in config.yaml. Four compounding bugs:
- _session_info reported reasoning_effort "" for disabled reasoning,
indistinguishable from unset — the desktop adopted it after the first
turn, wiping its sticky "thinking off" pick so every later chat
reverted to the default effort.
- config.set key=reasoning always wrote agent.reasoning_effort to global
config.yaml, so every desktop model-menu selection (preset.effort ??
'medium') clobbered the user's configured value. Now session-scoped
like the messaging gateway's /reasoning, landing on
create_reasoning_override so lazily-built sessions keep it too.
- YAML `reasoning_effort: false`/`off`/`no` (boolean False) was coerced
to "" by every loader's `str(x or "")`, silently re-enabling thinking.
parse_reasoning_effort now treats False/"false"/"disabled" as
{"enabled": False}; loaders (tui gateway, gateway, cli, cron,
delegate) pass the raw value through. The desktop config reader also
crashed on the boolean (false.trim()), aborting voice/STT settings.
- The zai provider profile never sent thinking on the wire, and GLM-4.5+
defaults to thinking ON server-side — so disabling reasoning was a
silent no-op on direct Z.ai, the actual token burner. The profile now
emits extra_body.thinking {"type": "enabled"|"disabled"} for
thinking-capable GLM models, mirroring the DeepSeek profile.
Also: /new (session reset) now carries reasoning_config across the
rebuild like model_override; config.get reasoning prefers the session's
live value and maps a config False to "none"; Settings shows "Off"
instead of a blank select for hand-written false.
Salvaged from PR #3243 by @Mibayy, reimplemented against current main
(the original diff targeted a removed gateway/run.py handler).
- /compact is now a first-class alias of /compress (CLI, gateway,
Telegram/Slack/Discord command lists, autocomplete) — also fixes the
dangling '/compact' references in gateway error messages
(gateway/run.py context-exhausted banners).
- --preview / --dry-run: report what WOULD be compressed (message
counts, token estimate, 'here [N]' boundary) without touching the
transcript. Flags coexist with the existing 'here [N]' / focus-topic
args on both the CLI and gateway surfaces via shared pure helpers in
hermes_cli/partial_compress.py.
- --aggressive (LLM-free hard truncation) is intentionally NOT
implemented: it would need its own transcript-persistence branch
outside the guarded _compress_context rotation machinery (#44794
data-loss class). The flag is recognized and returns an explanatory
message pointing at '/compress here [N]' and /undo instead of being
mis-parsed as a focus topic.
- locales: gateway.compress.aggressive_unsupported added to all 16
catalogs (parity test enforced).
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for contributor credit.
Three CLI reliability fixes:
1. Interrupt reliability: chat() only re-queued the user's interrupt
message when the turn result carried interrupted=True. When the agent
thread raced past its last interrupt check (or finished) before the
interrupt landed, the message was silently dropped — and the stale
_interrupt_requested flag left on the agent instantly aborted the
NEXT turn. Un-acknowledged interrupt messages are now re-queued as
the next turn and the stale flag is cleared (only when the agent
thread actually exited). The clarify-race path also parks the message
in _pending_input instead of dropping it.
2. Slow exit (5+ min): stdlib ThreadPoolExecutor workers are non-daemon
and joined unconditionally by concurrent.futures' atexit hook — even
after shutdown(wait=False). One wedged tool worker (abandoned after
interrupt/timeout) held the process open forever. Promoted
async_delegation's daemon executor to a shared tools/daemon_pool
module and adopted it in tool_executor (concurrent tool batches),
memory_manager (background sync), delegate_tool (child timeout wrapper
+ batch fan-out), and skills_hub (source fan-out). Added a 30s exit
watchdog (HERMES_EXIT_WATCHDOG_S) armed at _run_cleanup start as a
backstop for wedged cleanup steps.
3. Exit jank: after prompt_toolkit tears down the input/status bars the
terminal sat silent for the whole cleanup window, looking hung. Print
'Shutting down… (finalizing session)' immediately at exit start.
E2E: live PTY interrupt of a foreground 'sleep 120' terminal tool now
aborts in ~1s and the typed message runs as the next turn; wedged-worker
+ wedged-cleanup subprocess exits in 5.8s (watchdog) instead of hanging.
In the interactive CLI, /journey dispatched straight to `args.func(args)`,
letting Rich write ANSI to stdout — which patch_stdout's StdoutProxy passes
through as literal `?[38;2;…m` garbage. Route the read-only views (default +
`list`) through a captured, force-color Console and re-emit via `_cprint`
(prompt_toolkit's ANSI parser), matching the `ChatConsole` idiom.
`delete`/`edit` stay on real stdio since they prompt / open `$EDITOR`.
hermes -w locks each worktree (reason 'hermes pid=<pid>'). git worktree
remove --force (single -f) refuses a locked tree, so a crashed session's
lock was never released and its worktree accumulated forever — a real
contributor to .worktrees/ bloat.
_prune_stale_worktrees now classifies each lock via _worktree_lock_is_live:
a live-owner pid is skipped at any age; a dead-owner (or foreign) lock is
unlocked first so the aggressive age-based cleanup can actually reap it.
The >72h reap tier is kept (that cleanup is intentional) but now guarded so
dirty/unpushed work is preserved, and branch deletion is gated on
git worktree remove succeeding. New fail-safe helpers _worktree_is_dirty
and _worktree_lock_is_live (pid liveness via gateway.status._pid_exists,
Windows-safe).
The streaming think-tag suppressors in cli.py (_stream_delta) and
gateway/stream_consumer.py (_filter_and_accumulate) matched tag names
with case-sensitive str.find(), so only the exact-case literals in the
tag tuples were caught. Mixed-case variants a model may emit — <Think>,
<ThInK>, <REASONING>, <Thought> — slipped through and leaked raw
reasoning into the user-visible stream.
Match against a lowercased view of the buffer with lowercased tag names
at all three sites (open-tag boundary search, partial-tag hold-back,
close-tag search) in both paths. Only KNOWN tag names are matched — no
substring matching — and the block-boundary gating that protects prose
mentions of <think> is preserved.
- 6 parametrized case-insensitive regression tests in each of
tests/gateway/test_stream_consumer.py and
tests/cli/test_stream_delta_think_tag.py.
Salvaged from PR #27289 by @YLChen-007.
Bare print() output is swallowed by patch_stdout while an interactive
prompt_toolkit Application owns the terminal, so /sessions and /history
rendered nothing. Route those emissions through _cprint (prompt_toolkit's
native renderer) when an app is running, and fall back to print otherwise.
Fixes#36815
Whole-bug-class follow-up to the tui_gateway fix: the same -1
last_prompt_tokens sentinel (parked by conversation_compression after a
compression) leaked into other status readers, producing a raw -1 or a
NEGATIVE usage_percent on the transitional turn:
- agent/context_engine.py get_status() (the ABC default every external
context engine inherits) — highest blast radius
- gateway/slash_commands.py /usage context line
- cli.py session usage printout
All clamped to >=0, mirroring cli.py _get_status_bar_snapshot and the
tui_gateway fix. Adds an ABC get_status sentinel-clamp regression test.
HermesCLI.process_command() and tui_gateway command.dispatch both handle
type: exec quick commands via subprocess.run(shell=True) with no env=
parameter, so the child inherits the full process environment — all API
keys and bot tokens stored in os.environ are visible to the script.
Any output is returned raw to the terminal or web-UI client without
redaction.
Fix: mirror the approach applied to gateway/run.py in #23584.
Apply _sanitize_subprocess_env() before spawning the subprocess and
redact_sensitive_text() on the collected output before display.
Symmetric across all three exec quick-command paths.
Parity with gateway/run.py fix in #23584.
The CLI routes user input typed while the agent is running into
``_interrupt_queue`` (separate from ``_pending_input``) so the explicit
interrupt path can opt to deliver them as a single combined message.
That path only drains the queue when ``busy_input_mode == "interrupt"``
AND a ``pending_message`` was acknowledged.
If the agent's turn finishes naturally (no interrupt fires), any
messages typed during the turn stay stuck in ``_interrupt_queue``
forever. Subsequent ``Enter`` presses route input to the same blocked
queue and the CLI appears to hang. Original report: lunarnexus in
The fix restores the post-turn drain that was originally part of
drain off as "worth its own review" and never re-landed it; the user-
visible regression is that any non-interrupt-mode user typing during
a turn is silently dropped.
Implementation: extract the drain to a small helper
``_drain_interrupt_queue_to_pending_input`` matching the existing
``_maybe_continue_goal_after_turn`` style. ``process_loop``'s
``finally`` block calls it once per turn after the status-line refresh
and before goal continuation (so re-queued user input preempts an
auto-continuation prompt). The helper swallows ``Exception`` so it
can never break the main loop.
Addresses #20271.
The --nous flag was only wired into the argparse `hermes debug share`
subcommand. The /debug slash command (classic CLI + TUI, both via
process_command -> _handle_debug_command) built a hardcoded args
namespace with no `nous` attribute, so it always took the default
paste.rs path.
Pass cmd_original through to _handle_debug_command and parse an optional
destination word:
/debug -> public paste (default, unchanged)
/debug nous -> Nous-internal S3
/debug local -> stdout, no upload
local wins over nous (never touches the network); unknown words fall
back to the default. Add args_hint="[nous|local]" so help/autocomplete
surface it. New TestDebugSlashCommand covers the parsing + dispatch.
Two narrow fixes that contribute to the TUI input black hole reported in
issue #16803, where the CLI keeps rendering but stops consuming user input.
1. MCP reload no longer blocks process_loop. _check_config_mcp_changes()
runs in process_loop's idle branch; the prior _reload_thread.join(timeout=30)
froze input consumption for up to 30s (longer if an MCP server hung). The
reload daemon already reports its own status via print(), so the join is
removed and the reload runs purely in the background.
2. Voice recording flag can no longer leak. _voice_recording was set True
before create_audio_recorder(), which runs outside any try/except. A
recorder-creation failure (no input device, PortAudio init error) left the
flag stuck True, so every future voice start was silently skipped by the
double-start guard. Recorder creation is now wrapped to reset the flag and
re-raise on failure, matching the existing start() handler.
Closes#16803
