When user runs
✓ Memory provider: built-in only
Saved to config.yaml and leaves the API key blank,
the old code skipped writing it entirely. This caused the uvx daemon
launcher to fail at startup because it couldn't distinguish between
"key not configured" and "explicitly blank key."
Now HINDSIGHT_LLM_API_KEY is always written to .env so the value
is either set or explicitly empty.
Themes and plugins can now pull off arbitrary dashboard reskins (cockpit
HUD, retro terminal, etc.) without touching core code.
Themes gain four new fields:
- layoutVariant: standard | cockpit | tiled — shell layout selector
- assets: {bg, hero, logo, crest, sidebar, header, custom: {...}} —
artwork URLs exposed as --theme-asset-* CSS vars
- customCSS: raw CSS injected as a scoped <style> tag on theme apply
(32 KiB cap, cleaned up on theme switch)
- componentStyles: per-component CSS-var overrides (clipPath,
borderImage, background, boxShadow, ...) for card/header/sidebar/
backdrop/tab/progress/badge/footer/page
Plugin manifests gain three new fields:
- tab.override: replaces a built-in route instead of adding a tab
- tab.hidden: register component + slots without adding a nav entry
- slots: declares shell slots the plugin populates
10 named shell slots: backdrop, header-left/right/banner, sidebar,
pre-main, post-main, footer-left/right, overlay. Plugins register via
window.__HERMES_PLUGINS__.registerSlot(name, slot, Component). A
<PluginSlot> React helper is exported on the plugin SDK.
Ships a full demo at plugins/strike-freedom-cockpit/ — theme YAML +
slot-only plugin that reproduces a Gundam cockpit dashboard: MS-STATUS
sidebar with live telemetry, COMPASS crest in header, notched card
corners via componentStyles, scanline overlay via customCSS, gold/cyan
palette, Orbitron typography.
Validation:
- 15 new tests in test_web_server.py covering every extended field
- tests/hermes_cli/: 2615 passed (3 pre-existing unrelated failures)
- tsc -b --noEmit: clean
- vite build: 418 kB bundle, ~2 kB delta for slots/theme extensions

The agent-facing image_generate tool only passes prompt + aspect_ratio to
provider.generate() (see tools/image_generation_tool.py:953). The editing
block (reference_images / edit_image kwargs) could never fire from the
tool surface, and the xAI edits endpoint is /images/edits with a
different payload shape anyway — not /images/generations as submitted.
- Remove reference_images / edit_image kwargs handling from generate()
- Remove matching test_with_reference_images case
- Update docstring + plugin.yaml description to text-to-image only
- Surface resolution in the success extras
Follow-up to PR #14547. Tests: 18/18 pass.
New built-in image_gen backend at plugins/image_gen/openai-codex/ that
exposes the same gpt-image-2 low/medium/high tier catalog as the
existing 'openai' plugin, but routes generation through the ChatGPT/
Codex Responses image_generation tool path. Available whenever the user
has Codex OAuth signed in; no OPENAI_API_KEY required.
The two plugins are independent — users select between them via
'hermes tools' → Image Generation, and image_gen.provider in
config.yaml. The existing 'openai' (API-key) plugin is unchanged.
Reuses _read_codex_access_token() and _codex_cloudflare_headers() from
agent.auxiliary_client so token expiry / cred-pool / Cloudflare
originator handling stays in one place.
Inspired by #14047 by @Hygaard, but re-implemented as a separate
plugin instead of an in-place fork of the openai plugin.
Closes#11195
- Add configurable retain_tags / retain_source / retain_user_prefix /
retain_assistant_prefix knobs for native Hindsight.
- Thread gateway session identity (user_name, chat_id, chat_name,
chat_type, thread_id) through AIAgent and MemoryManager into
MemoryProvider.initialize kwargs so providers can scope and tag
retained memories.
- Hindsight attaches the new identity fields as retain metadata,
merges per-call tool tags with configured default tags, and uses
the configurable transcript labels for auto-retained turns.

* feat(plugins): pluggable image_gen backends + OpenAI provider
Adds a ImageGenProvider ABC so image generation backends register as
bundled plugins under `plugins/image_gen/<name>/`. The plugin scanner
gains three primitives to make this work generically:
- `kind:` manifest field (`standalone` | `backend` | `exclusive`).
Bundled `kind: backend` plugins auto-load — no `plugins.enabled`
incantation. User-installed backends stay opt-in.
- Path-derived keys: `plugins/image_gen/openai/` gets key
`image_gen/openai`, so a future `tts/openai` cannot collide.
- Depth-2 recursion into category namespaces (parent dirs without a
`plugin.yaml` of their own).
Includes `OpenAIImageGenProvider` as the first consumer (gpt-image-1.5
default, plus gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, DALL-E 3/2). Base64
responses save to `$HERMES_HOME/cache/images/`; URL responses pass
through.
FAL stays in-tree for this PR — a follow-up ports it into
`plugins/image_gen/fal/` so the in-tree `image_generation_tool.py`
slims down. The dispatch shim in `_handle_image_generate` only fires
when `image_gen.provider` is explicitly set to a non-FAL value, so
existing FAL setups are untouched.
- 41 unit tests (scanner recursion, kind parsing, gate logic,
registry, OpenAI payload shapes)
- E2E smoke verified: bundled plugin autoloads, registers, and
`_handle_image_generate` routes to OpenAI when configured
* fix(image_gen/openai): don't send response_format to gpt-image-*
The live API rejects it: 'Unknown parameter: response_format'
(verified 2026-04-21 with gpt-image-1.5). gpt-image-* models return
b64_json unconditionally, so the parameter was both unnecessary and
actively broken.
* feat(image_gen/openai): gpt-image-2 only, drop legacy catalog
gpt-image-2 is the latest/best OpenAI image model (released 2026-04-21)
and there's no reason to expose the older gpt-image-1.5 / gpt-image-1 /
dall-e-3 / dall-e-2 alongside it — slower, lower quality, or awkward
(dall-e-2 squares only). Trim the catalog down to a single model.
Live-verified end-to-end: landscape 1536x1024 render of a Moog-style
synth matches prompt exactly, 2.4MB PNG saved to cache.
* feat(image_gen/openai): expose gpt-image-2 as three quality tiers
Users pick speed/fidelity via the normal model picker instead of a
hidden quality knob. All three tier IDs resolve to the single underlying
gpt-image-2 API model with a different quality parameter:
gpt-image-2-low ~15s fast iteration
gpt-image-2-medium ~40s default
gpt-image-2-high ~2min highest fidelity
Live-measured on OpenAI's API today: 15.4s / 40.8s / 116.9s for the
same 1024x1024 prompt.
Config:
image_gen.openai.model: gpt-image-2-high
# or
image_gen.model: gpt-image-2-low
# or env var for scripts/tests
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL=gpt-image-2-medium
Live-verified end-to-end with the low tier: 18.8s landscape render of a
golden retriever in wildflowers, vision-confirmed exact match.
* feat(tools_config): plugin image_gen providers inject themselves into picker
'hermes tools' → Image Generation now shows plugin-registered backends
alongside Nous Subscription and FAL.ai without tools_config.py needing
to know about them. OpenAI appears as a third option today; future
backends appear automatically as they're added.
Mechanism:
- ImageGenProvider gains an optional get_setup_schema() hook
(name, badge, tag, env_vars). Default derived from display_name.
- tools_config._plugin_image_gen_providers() pulls the schemas from
every registered non-FAL plugin provider.
- _visible_providers() appends those rows when rendering the Image
Generation category.
- _configure_provider() handles the new image_gen_plugin_name marker:
writes image_gen.provider and routes to the plugin's list_models()
catalog for the model picker.
- _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt('image_gen') stops demanding a
FAL key when any plugin provider reports is_available().
FAL is skipped in the plugin path because it already has hardcoded
TOOL_CATEGORIES rows — when it gets ported to a plugin in a follow-up
PR the hardcoded rows go away and it surfaces through the same path
as OpenAI.
Verified live: picker shows Nous Subscription / FAL.ai / OpenAI.
Picking OpenAI prompts for OPENAI_API_KEY, then shows the
gpt-image-2-low/medium/high model picker sourced from the plugin.
397 tests pass across plugins/, tools_config, registry, and picker.
* fix(image_gen): close final gaps for plugin-backend parity with FAL
Two small places that still hardcoded FAL:
- hermes_cli/setup.py status line: an OpenAI-only setup showed
'Image Generation: missing FAL_KEY'. Now probes plugin providers
and reports '(OpenAI)' when one is_available() — or falls back to
'missing FAL_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY' if nothing is configured.
- image_generate tool schema description: said 'using FAL.ai, default
FLUX 2 Klein 9B'. Rewrote provider-neutral — 'backend and model are
user-configured' — and notes the 'image' field can be a URL or an
absolute path, which the gateway delivers either way via
extract_local_files().
The original name was cute but non-obvious; disk-cleanup says what it
does. Plugin directory, script, state path, log lines, slash command,
and test module all renamed. No user-visible state exists yet, so no
migration path is needed.
New website page "Built-in Plugins" documents the <repo>/plugins/<name>/
source, how discovery interacts with user/project plugins, the
HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS escape hatch, disk-cleanup's hook
behaviour and deletion rules, and guidance on when a plugin belongs
bundled vs. user-installable. Added to the Features → Core sidebar next
to the main Plugins page, with a cross-reference from plugins.md.
Rewires @LVT382009's disk-guardian (PR #12212) from a skill-plus-script
into a plugin that runs entirely via hooks — no agent compliance needed.
- post_tool_call hook auto-tracks files created by write_file / terminal
/ patch when they match test_/tmp_/*.test.* patterns under HERMES_HOME
- on_session_end hook runs cmd_quick cleanup when test files were
auto-tracked during the turn; stays quiet otherwise
- /disk-guardian slash command keeps status / dry-run / quick / deep /
track / forget for manual use
- Deterministic cleanup rules, path safety, atomic writes, and audit
logging preserved from the original contribution
- Protect well-known top-level state dirs (logs/, memories/, sessions/,
cron/, cache/, etc.) from empty-dir removal so fresh installs don't
get gutted on first session end
The plugin system gains a bundled-plugin discovery path (<repo>/plugins/
<name>/) alongside user/project/entry-point sources. Memory and
context_engine subdirs are skipped — they keep their own discovery
paths. HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS=1 suppresses the scan; the test
conftest sets it by default so existing plugin tests stay clean.

Setup wizard now always writes dialecticCadence=2 on new configs and
surfaces the reasoning level as an explicit step with all five options
(minimal / low / medium / high / max), always writing
dialecticReasoningLevel.
Code keeps a backwards-compat fallback of 1 when dialecticCadence is
unset so existing honcho.json configs that predate the setting keep
firing every turn on upgrade. New setups via the wizard get 2
explicitly; docs show 2 as the default.
Also scrubs editorial lines from code and docs ("max is reserved for
explicit tool-path selection", "Unset → every turn; wizard pre-fills 2",
and similar process-exposing phrasing) and adds an inline link to
app.honcho.dev where the server-side observation sync is mentioned in
honcho.md. Recommended cadence range updated to 1-5 across docs and
wizard copy.
Hardens the dialectic lifecycle against three failure modes that could
leave the prefetch pipeline stuck or injecting stale content:
- Stale-thread watchdog: _thread_is_live() treats any prefetch thread
older than timeout × 2.0 as dead. A hung Honcho call can no longer
block subsequent fires indefinitely.
- Stale-result discard: pending _prefetch_result is tagged with its
fire turn. prefetch() discards the result if more than cadence × 2
turns passed before a consumer read it (e.g. a run of trivial-prompt
turns between fire and read).
- Empty-streak backoff: consecutive empty dialectic returns widen the
effective cadence (dialectic_cadence + streak, capped at cadence × 8).
A healthy fire resets the streak. Prevents the plugin from hammering
the backend every turn when the peer graph is cold.
- liveness_snapshot() on the provider exposes current turn, last fire,
pending fire-at, empty streak, effective cadence, and thread status
for in-process diagnostics.
- system_prompt_block: nudge the model that honcho_reasoning accepts
reasoning_level minimal/low/medium/high/max per call.
- hermes honcho status: surface base reasoning level, cap, and heuristic
toggle so config drift is visible at a glance.
Tests: 550 passed.
- TestDialecticLiveness (8 tests): stale-thread recovery, stale-result
discard, fresh-result retention, backoff widening, backoff ceiling,
streak reset on success, streak increment on empty, snapshot shape.
- Existing TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess::test_in_flight_thread_is_not_stacked
updated to set _prefetch_thread_started_at so it tests the
fresh-thread-blocks branch (stale path covered separately).
- test_cli TestCmdStatus fake updated with the new config attrs surfaced
in the status block.
- cli: setup wizard pre-fills dialecticCadence=2 (code default stays 1
so unset → every turn)
- honcho.md: fix stale dialecticCadence default in tables, add
Session-Start Prewarm subsection (depth runs at init), add
Query-Adaptive Reasoning Level subsection, expand Observation
section with directional vs unified semantics and per-peer patterns
- memory-providers.md: fix stale default, rename Multi-agent/Profiles
to Multi-peer setup, add concrete walkthrough for new profiles and
sync, document observation toggles + presets, link to honcho.md
- SKILL.md: fix stale defaults, add Depth at session start callout
- Revert website/docs and SKILL.md changes; docs unification handled separately
- Scrub commit/PR refs and process narration from code comments and test
docstrings (no behavior change)
Several correctness and cost-safety fixes to the Honcho dialectic path
after a multi-turn investigation surfaced a chain of silent failures:
- dialecticCadence default flipped 3 → 1. PR #10619 changed this from 1 to
3 for cost, but existing installs with no explicit config silently went
from per-turn dialectic to every-3-turns on upgrade. Restores pre-#10619
behavior; 3+ remains available for cost-conscious setups. Docs + wizard
+ status output updated to match.
- Session-start prewarm now consumed. Previously fired a .chat() on init
whose result landed in HonchoSessionManager._dialectic_cache and was
never read — pop_dialectic_result had zero call sites. Turn 1 paid for
a duplicate synchronous dialectic. Prewarm now writes directly to the
plugin's _prefetch_result via _prefetch_lock so turn 1 consumes it with
no extra call.
- Prewarm is now dialecticDepth-aware. A single-pass prewarm can return
weak output on cold peers; the multi-pass audit/reconcile cycle is
exactly the case dialecticDepth was built for. Prewarm now runs the
full configured depth in the background.
- Silent dialectic failure no longer burns the cadence window.
_last_dialectic_turn now advances only when the result is non-empty.
Empty result → next eligible turn retries immediately instead of
waiting the full cadence gap.
- Thread pile-up guard. queue_prefetch skips when a prior dialectic
thread is still in-flight, preventing stacked races on _prefetch_result.
- First-turn sync timeout is recoverable. Previously on timeout the
background thread's result was stored in a dead local list. Now the
thread writes into _prefetch_result under lock so the next turn
picks it up.
- Cadence gate applies uniformly. At cadence=1 the old "cadence > 1"
guard let first-turn sync + same-turn queue_prefetch both fire.
Gate now always applies.
- Restored query-length reasoning-level scaling, dropped in 9a0ab34c.
Scales dialecticReasoningLevel up on longer queries (+1 at ≥120 chars,
+2 at ≥400), clamped at reasoningLevelCap. Two new config keys:
`reasoningHeuristic` (bool, default true) and `reasoningLevelCap`
(string, default "high"; previously parsed but never enforced).
Respects dialecticDepthLevels and proportional lighter-early passes.
- Restored short-prompt skip, dropped in ef7f3156. One-word
acknowledgements ("ok", "y", "thanks") and slash commands bypass
both injection and dialectic fire.
- Purged dead code in session.py: prefetch_dialectic, _dialectic_cache,
set_dialectic_result, pop_dialectic_result — all unused after prewarm
refactor.
Tests: 542 passed across honcho_plugin/, agent/test_memory_provider.py,
and run_agent/test_run_agent.py. New coverage:
- TestTrivialPromptHeuristic (classifier + prefetch/queue skip)
- TestDialecticCadenceAdvancesOnSuccess (empty-result retry, pile-up guard)
- TestSessionStartDialecticPrewarm (prewarm consumed, sync fallback)
- TestReasoningHeuristic (length bumps, cap clamp, interaction with depth)
- TestDialecticLifecycleSmoke (end-to-end 8-turn session walk)

The honcho_conclude tool schema used anyOf with nested required
fields which is unsupported by Fireworks AI, MiniMax, and other
providers that only handle basic JSON Schema. The handler already
validates that conclusion or delete_id is present (line 1018-1020),
so the schema constraint was redundant.
Replace with required: [] and let the handler reject bad calls.
* fix: show correct env var name in provider API key error (#9506)
The error message for missing provider API keys dynamically built
the env var name as PROVIDER_API_KEY (e.g. ALIBABA_API_KEY), but
some providers use different names (alibaba uses DASHSCOPE_API_KEY).
Users following the error message set the wrong variable.
Fix: look up the actual env var from PROVIDER_REGISTRY before
building the error. Falls back to the dynamic name if the registry
lookup fails.
Closes#9506
* fix: five HERMES_HOME profile-isolation leaks (#5947)
Bug A: Thread session_title from session_db to memory provider init kwargs
so honcho can derive chat-scoped session keys instead of falling back to
cwd-based naming that merges all gateway users into one session.
Bug B: Replace 14 hardcoded ~/.hermes/skills/ paths across 10 skill files
with HERMES_HOME-aware alternatives (${HERMES_HOME:-$HOME/.hermes} in
shell, os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) in Python).
Bug C: install.sh now respects HERMES_HOME env var and adds --hermes-home
flag. Previously --dir only set INSTALL_DIR while HERMES_HOME was always
hardcoded to $HOME/.hermes.
Bug D: Remove hardcoded ~/.hermes/honcho.json fallback in resolve_config_path().
Non-default profiles no longer silently inherit the default profile's honcho
config. Falls through to ~/.honcho/config.json (global) instead.
Bug E: Guard _edit_skill, _patch_skill, _delete_skill, _write_file, and
_remove_file against writing to skills found in external_dirs. Skills
outside the local SKILLS_DIR are now read-only from the agent's perspective.
Closes#5947
Memory provider discovery (discover_memory_providers, load_memory_provider)
only scanned the bundled plugins/memory/ directory. User-installed providers
at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/ were invisible, forcing users to symlink
into the repo source tree — which broke on hermes update and created a
dual-registration path causing duplicate tool names (400 errors on strict
providers like Xiaomi MiMo).
Changes:
- Add _get_user_plugins_dir(), _is_memory_provider_dir(), _iter_provider_dirs(),
and find_provider_dir() helpers to plugins/memory/__init__.py
- discover_memory_providers() now scans both bundled and user dirs
- load_memory_provider() uses find_provider_dir() (bundled-first)
- discover_plugin_cli_commands() uses find_provider_dir()
- _install_dependencies() in memory_setup.py uses find_provider_dir()
- User plugins use _hermes_user_memory namespace to avoid sys.modules collisions
- Non-memory user plugins filtered via source text heuristic
- Bundled providers always take precedence on name collisions

OV transparently handles message history across /new and /compress: old
messages stay in the same session and extraction is idempotent, so there's
no need to rebind providers to a new session_id. The only thing the
session boundary actually needs is to trigger extraction.
- MemoryProvider / MemoryManager: remove on_session_reset hook
- OpenViking: remove on_session_reset override (nothing to do)
- AIAgent: replace rotate_memory_session with commit_memory_session
(just calls on_session_end, no rebind)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: single commit_memory_session call at the
session boundary before session_id rotates
- tests: replace on_session_reset coverage with routing tests for
MemoryManager.on_session_end

Replace hasattr-forked OpenViking-specific paths with a proper base-class
hook. Collapse the two agent wrappers into a single rotate_memory_session
so callers don't orchestrate commit + rebind themselves.
- MemoryProvider: add on_session_reset(new_session_id) as a default no-op
- MemoryManager: on_session_reset fans out unconditionally (no hasattr,
no builtin skip — base no-op covers it)
- OpenViking: rename reset_session -> on_session_reset; drop the explicit
POST /api/v1/sessions (OV auto-creates on first message) and the two
debug raise_for_status wrappers
- AIAgent: collapse commit_memory_session + reinitialize_memory_session
into rotate_memory_session(new_sid, messages)
- cli.py / run_agent.py: replace hasattr blocks and the split calls with
a single unconditional rotate_memory_session call; compression path
now passes the real messages list instead of []
- tests: align with on_session_reset, assert reset does NOT POST /sessions
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The OpenViking memory provider extracts memories when its session is
committed (POST /api/v1/sessions/{id}/commit). Before this fix, the
CLI had two code paths that changed the active session_id without ever
committing the outgoing OpenViking session:
1. /new (new_session() in cli.py) — called flush_memories() to write
MEMORY.md, then immediately discarded the old session_id. The
accumulated OpenViking session was never committed, so all context
from that session was lost before extraction could run.
2. /compress and auto-compress (_compress_context() in run_agent.py) —
split the SQLite session (new session_id) but left the OpenViking
provider pointing at the old session_id with no commit, meaning all
messages synced to OpenViking were silently orphaned.
The gateway already handles session commit on /new and /reset via
shutdown_memory_provider() on the cached agent; the CLI path did not.
Fix: introduce a lightweight session-transition lifecycle alongside
the existing full shutdown path:
- OpenVikingMemoryProvider.reset_session(new_session_id): waits for
in-flight background threads, resets per-session counters, and
creates the new OV session via POST /api/v1/sessions — without
tearing down the HTTP client (avoids connection overhead on /new).
- MemoryManager.restart_session(new_session_id): calls reset_session()
on providers that implement it; falls back to initialize() for
providers that do not. Skips the builtin provider (no per-session
state).
- AIAgent.commit_memory_session(messages): wraps
memory_manager.on_session_end() without shutdown — commits OV session
for extraction but leaves the provider alive for the next session.
- AIAgent.reinitialize_memory_session(new_session_id): wraps
memory_manager.restart_session() — transitions all external providers
to the new session after session_id has been assigned.
Call sites:
- cli.py new_session(): commit BEFORE session_id changes, reinitialize
AFTER — ensuring OV extraction runs on the correct session and the
new session is immediately ready for the next turn.
- run_agent._compress_context(): same pattern, inside the
if self._session_db: block where the session_id split happens.
/compress and auto-compress are functionally identical at this layer:
both call _compress_context(), so both are fixed by the same change.
Tests added to tests/agent/test_memory_provider.py:
- TestMemoryManagerRestartSession: reset_session() routing, builtin
skip, initialize() fallback, failure tolerance, empty-manager noop.
- TestOpenVikingResetSession: session_id update, per-session state
clear, POST /api/v1/sessions call, API failure tolerance, no-client
noop.

- Change default OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT from 'root' to 'default'
- Add account and user config options to get_config_schema()
- Add session creation in initialize()
- Add reset_session() method
- Update docstring to reflect new default
This is a breaking change: existing users who relied on the 'root' account will need to either:
1. Set OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT=root in their environment, or
2. Migrate their data to the 'default' account
Future release will add support for OPENVIKING_ACCOUNT and OPENVIKING_USER in setup when API key is provided.

Two fixes for the honcho memory plugin: (1) initOnSessionStart — opt-in eager session init in tools mode so sync_turn() works from turn 1 (default false, non-breaking). (2) peerName fix — gateway user_id no longer silently overwrites an explicitly configured peerName. 11 new tests. Contributed by @Kathie-yu.
Follow-up fixes for the context engine plugin slot (PR #5700):
- Enhance ContextEngine ABC: add threshold_percent, protect_first_n,
protect_last_n as class attributes; complete update_model() default
with threshold recalculation; clarify on_session_end() lifecycle docs
- Add ContextCompressor.update_model() override for model/provider/
base_url/api_key updates
- Replace all direct compressor internal access in run_agent.py with
ABC interface: switch_model(), fallback restore, context probing
all use update_model() now; _context_probed guarded with getattr/
hasattr for plugin engine compatibility
- Create plugins/context_engine/ directory with discovery module
(mirrors plugins/memory/ pattern) — discover_context_engines(),
load_context_engine()
- Add context.engine config key to DEFAULT_CONFIG (default: compressor)
- Config-driven engine selection in run_agent.__init__: checks config,
then plugins/context_engine/<name>/, then general plugin system,
falls back to built-in ContextCompressor
- Wire on_session_end() in shutdown_memory_provider() at real session
boundaries (CLI exit, /reset, gateway expiry)

'llmApiKey' (camelCase) but save_config() stores 'llm_api_key'
(snake_case). The config value was never read — only the env var
fallback worked.
2. Missing base URL support: users on OpenRouter or custom endpoints
had no way to configure HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL through setup.
Added llm_base_url to config schema with empty default, passed
conditionally to HindsightEmbedded constructor.
3. Daemon config change detection: config_changed now also checks
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_BASE_URL, and the daemon profile .env includes
the base URL when set.
Keeps HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY (with double API) in the daemon
profile .env — this matches the upstream hindsight .env.example
convention.
Import hermes_constants.get_hermes_home at module level so it is
available in _start_daemon() when local mode starts the embedded
daemon. Previously the import was only inside _load_config(), causing
NameError when _start_daemon() referenced get_hermes_home().

Based on PR #5413 spec by MaheshtheDev (Mahesh Sanikommu).
Changes:
- Add search_mode config (hybrid/memories/documents) passed to SDK
- Add {identity} template support in container_tag for profile-scoped containers
- Add SUPERMEMORY_CONTAINER_TAG env var override (priority over config)
- Add multi-container mode: enable_custom_container_tags, custom_containers,
custom_container_instructions in supermemory.json
- Dynamic tool schemas when multi-container enabled (optional container_tag param)
- Whitelist validation for custom container tags in tool calls
- Simplify get_config_schema() to only prompt for API key during setup
- Defer container_tag sanitization to initialize() (after template resolution)
- Add custom_id support to documents.add calls
- Update README with multi-container docs, search_mode, identity template,
support links (Discord, email)
- Update memory-providers.md with new features and multi-container example
- Update memory-provider-plugin.md with minimal vs full schema guidance
- Add 12 new tests covering identity template, search_mode, multi-container,
config schema, and env var override
Memory plugins (Mem0, Honcho) used static identifiers ('hermes-user',
config peerName) meaning all gateway users shared the same memory bucket.
Changes:
- AIAgent.__init__: add user_id parameter, store as self._user_id
- run_agent.py: include user_id in _init_kwargs passed to memory providers
- gateway/run.py: pass source.user_id to AIAgent in primary + background paths
- Mem0 plugin: prefer kwargs user_id over config default
- Honcho plugin: override cfg.peer_name with gateway user_id when present
CLI sessions (user_id=None) preserve existing defaults. Only gateway
sessions with a real platform user_id get per-user memory scoping.

16 callsites across 14 files were re-deriving the hermes home path
via os.environ.get('HERMES_HOME', ...) instead of using the canonical
get_hermes_home() from hermes_constants. This breaks profiles — each
profile has its own HERMES_HOME, and the inline fallback defaults to
~/.hermes regardless.
Fixed by importing and calling get_hermes_home() at each site. For
files already inside the hermes process (agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/,
gateway/, plugins/), this is always safe. Files that run outside the
process context (mcp_serve.py, mcp_oauth.py) already had correct
try/except ImportError fallbacks and were left alone.
Skipped: hermes_constants.py (IS the implementation), env_loader.py
(bootstrap), profiles.py (intentionally manipulates the env var),
standalone scripts (optional-skills/, skills/), and tests.
Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,
result, pending_handled, temperature, loop
- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
