Problem: `_get_cloud_provider()` set `_cloud_provider_resolved = True`
before resolution. If credentials were briefly unavailable on the first
call (e.g. a managed Nous Portal token mid-refresh), the resolver pinned
the entire process to local mode forever, even after credentials
self-healed seconds later.
Root cause: bookkeeping was set up-front, so any code path that fell
through to `return _cached_cloud_provider` (config read failure, no
credentials yet, explicit-provider instantiation failure) committed the
transient `None` to the cache permanently.
Fix: invert the bookkeeping. `_cloud_provider_resolved = True` is now
set only when (a) the user explicitly chose `cloud_provider: local`, or
(b) a provider was successfully resolved. All transient `None` paths
return without poisoning the cache, so the next call retries. Explicit
provider instantiation failures now log at warning level with stack
trace so operators can diagnose them.
Tests: 5 new cases in tests/tools/test_browser_cloud_provider_cache.py
covering explicit local, successful resolution, no-credentials-yet,
config read failure, and explicit provider instantiation failure.
Stash-verify confirmed the 3 transient-None tests fail without the fix.
All 320 existing browser tests still green.
Closes#22324
`fetch_models_dev()` is on the hot path of every `AIAgent.__init__`
(via `context_compressor → get_model_context_length`). The previous
policy was "always try network first, only fall back to disk if
network fails," so every fresh `hermes chat` / `hermes gateway` /
batch / cron process paid 250-500 ms re-fetching a 2 MB JSON registry
that was already on disk from earlier runs.
Add a stage 2 between in-mem and network: if
`models_dev_cache.json` exists and its mtime is younger than the
existing `_MODELS_DEV_CACHE_TTL` (1 hour, same TTL the in-mem cache
already uses), load from disk and skip the network call.
The in-mem TTL is anchored to the disk file's age, so a 50-min-old
cache stays in-memory for only 10 more minutes — no surprise
extension of staleness window.
Invariants preserved:
- `force_refresh=True` still always hits the network and only falls
back to disk on failure (`hermes config refresh` semantics).
- Missing disk cache → fall through to network (first-ever run).
- Stale disk cache (mtime > TTL) → fall through to network.
- Negative file age (clock skew) → fall through to network.
- Network failure → existing stage-4 stale-disk fallback unchanged.
Measured impact (3-run medians, 9950X3D, fresh process per run):
fetch_models_dev cold: 256 → 17 ms (-93%)
hermes chat -q wall: 4.00 → 3.73 s (-7% median)
3.99 → 3.60 s (-10% min)
The chat-end-to-end win is bounded below by API latency variance, but
the fetch_models_dev microbenchmark is the cleanest signal: 239 ms
shaved off every fresh-process agent construction.
Win compounds with the previous perf PRs:
#22681 google_chat lazy-load
#22766 doctor parallel + IMDS off
#22790 gateway.platforms PEP 562
Tests: all 30 `tests/agent/test_models_dev.py` pass (added 4 new ones
covering the new disk-cache-first path, force_refresh override, stale
disk fallback, and missing-disk-cache fall-through). Full `tests/agent/`
suite: 2560 passed, 0 failed.
The is_xai_responses branch only sent include=[reasoning.encrypted_content]
without forwarding the resolved reasoning_effort. Other Responses providers
(OpenAI, GitHub) already get effort forwarded — this aligns the xAI path.
Without this, agent.reasoning_effort is silently dropped on the xAI direct
path, making Hermes unable to control reasoning depth on grok-4.x via
api.x.ai. Tests added to TestCodexBuildKwargs cover effort passthrough,
disabled state, and minimal-clamp parity with non-xAI.
The xAI image-gen provider was DOA from PR #14765 onward — every request
422'd because the resolution param was being mapped to '1024'/'2048' but
xAI's API expects the literal strings '1k'/'2k'. PR #18678 fixed the
mapping; this test asserts the wire payload carries the literal so the
regression cannot recur silently.
Returning users who enabled '🖱️ Computer Use (macOS)' via 'hermes tools'
saw '✓ Saved configuration' but no install — cua-driver was never on
PATH and the toolset failed at first use. Two compounding causes:
1. _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt fell through to _toolset_has_keys,
which returned True for any provider with empty env_vars. cua-driver
has no env vars, so the gate skipped _configure_toolset entirely and
_run_post_setup('cua_driver') never ran.
2. No stable CLI entry-point existed for re-running the install when
the picker no-op'd it (e.g. when toggling the toolset off+on inside
one picker session, where 'added' is empty).
Changes:
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add _POST_SETUP_INSTALLED registry
mapping post_setup keys to installed-state predicates. The gate
now returns True when any visible provider has a registered
post_setup whose predicate fails. cua_driver is the only opt-in
for now; other post_setup hooks keep their existing behaviour.
- hermes_cli/main.py: add 'hermes computer-use install' and
'hermes computer-use status' as a stable docs target. install
reuses the same _run_post_setup('cua_driver') path that the
picker invokes; status reports whether cua-driver is on PATH.
- tools/computer_use/cua_backend.py: install hint now points users
at 'hermes computer-use install' first.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/computer-use.md: document the
new command as the primary install path.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: catalog 'hermes
computer-use' alongside 'hermes tools'.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_post_setup_gating.py: regression coverage
for the gate predicate (missing -> setup forced, installed ->
setup skipped, broken predicate -> non-blocking, unregistered
keys -> behaviour unchanged).
Fixes#22737. Reported by @f-trycua.
_try_activate_fallback() walked the chain by index without comparing
the candidate entry against the currently-failing backend. So a
misconfigured chain that listed the same provider+model as the primary,
or two custom_providers entries pointing at the same shim URL, would
loop the same failure 3x for the same backend.
After the fix, advance() skips:
- entries where (provider, model) match the current agent's
- entries with a base_url + model matching the current backend
(catches two custom_providers names pointing at the same shim)
Recursing through self._try_activate_fallback() continues to the next
chain entry; if everything matches, returns False and the caller
moves on without retrying the same broken path.
3 regression tests covering same-provider-same-model skip, same-base_url-
same-model skip, and the all-self-matching-returns-False exhaustion path.
Closes#22548 (the Hermes-side portion). The 120s timeout itself in
the downstream claude-cli shim is a deployment concern documented in
that issue's wherewolf87 comment.
Native Windows, WSL, SSH sessions, and Windows Terminal all send
Ctrl+Enter as bare LF (c-j). Hermes was binding c-j as submit on
every POSIX platform, so Ctrl+Enter submitted instead of inserting
a newline on those terminals. Reported in #22379.
Add _preserve_ctrl_enter_newline() predicate that detects the
environments where Ctrl+Enter must produce a newline (sys.platform
== 'win32', SSH_CONNECTION/SSH_CLIENT/SSH_TTY env, WT_SESSION,
WSL_DISTRO_NAME, /proc/version 'microsoft' marker). Gate the
c-j-as-submit binding off in those environments and gate the
c-j-as-newline handler on. Local POSIX TTYs without those markers
(docker exec, plain ssh from a Mac) keep c-j as submit so plain
Enter still works on thin PTYs.
Add install_ctrl_enter_alias() in hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.py
mapping the three CSI-u / modifyOtherKeys variants of Ctrl+Enter
('\x1b[13;5u', '\x1b[27;5;13~', '\x1b[27;5;13u') to the
(Escape, ControlM) tuple Alt+Enter produces. This lets Kitty /
mintty / xterm-with-modifyOtherKeys users over SSH get a Ctrl+Enter
newline through the existing Alt+Enter handler.
9 new tests + extended existing test_lf_enter_binds_to_submit_handler_posix
to cover bare-local vs SSH branches.
Closes#22379.
Non-streaming /v1/chat/completions wrapped any AIAgent result \u2014 including
partial/failed runs \u2014 as a successful 200 with finish_reason='stop' and
the internal failure string substituted into message.content. API
clients had no way to distinguish 'agent answered: X' from
'agent crashed and the X you see is its error message'.
After the fix:
- completed: True \u2192 200 finish_reason='stop' (unchanged)
- partial + truncated text \u2192 200 finish_reason='length' + hermes extras
- partial + no text / failed \u2192 502 OpenAI error envelope (SDKs raise)
- other failures \u2192 200 finish_reason='error' + hermes extras
Adds X-Hermes-Completed / X-Hermes-Partial / X-Hermes-Error headers
plus a 'hermes' extras object on partial responses for clients that
want the full picture.
Closes#22496.
Gateway creates a fresh AIAgent per inbound message in several common
scenarios: cache miss, idle eviction (1h TTL), config-signature
mismatch, process restart. A freshly-built AIAgent has
_turns_since_memory=0 and _user_turn_count=0, so the
memory.nudge_interval trigger ('_turns_since_memory >=
_memory_nudge_interval') can never be reached when these reconstructions
happen on roughly the cadence of the interval. A user can chat for hours
on Telegram without ever seeing a self-improvement review fire.
Reconstruct the counters from conversation_history at the top of
run_conversation(), right after the existing _hydrate_todo_store call.
Idempotent guard ('if self._user_turn_count == 0') means a cached agent
that already accumulated counters keeps them; only freshly-built agents
hydrate. Modulo arithmetic preserves the original 1-in-N cadence rather
than firing a review immediately on resume.
7 regression tests pinning the contract (mid-cycle history, modulo wrap,
idempotency, zero-interval skip, role==user filtering, production-code
anchor).
Closes#22357.
Operator-controlled HERMES_PROFILE values were rendered as
'**${author}** (${ts}):' — markdown bold with no provenance prefix.
Worker comment bodies render directly underneath. A misleading
profile name like 'hermes-system' or 'operator' could be misread by
the next worker as a system directive above attacker-influenced
content (confused-deputy primitive gated on operator misconfig).
The LLM-controlled author-forgery surface was already closed in
#22435 (author removed from KANBAN_COMMENT_SCHEMA). This is
defense-in-depth: render with an explicit 'comment from worker
`<author>` at <ts>:' prefix so even 'hermes-system' resolves to
'comment from worker `hermes-system` at ...' — parseable as
worker-comment metadata, not a system directive. Strip backticks
from author so they can't break out of the fence.
Update test_build_worker_context_caps_comments to count by body
regex since the rendered author line now also starts with
'comment '.
Closes#22452.
When session_id rotates (e.g. /new), commit_memory_session was firing
MemoryManager.on_session_end but skipping ContextEngine.on_session_end.
Engines that accumulate per-session state (LCM-style DAGs, summary
stores) leaked that state from the rotated-out session into whatever
continued under the same compressor instance.
Mirror the call shutdown_memory_provider already makes — same
lifecycle moment, same hook contract ("real session boundaries (CLI
exit, /reset, gateway expiry)"). /new is a real boundary for the old
session_id; providers keep their state but the rotated-out session_id
is done.
6 regression tests covering both-hooks-fire, no-memory-manager,
no-context-engine, both failure-tolerant paths.
Closes#22394.
- Restore allowed_chats gate before thread_id check so ignored_threads
applies universally (even to guest mentions).
- Compute _message_mentions_bot once in _should_process_message to
eliminate redundant second entity scan when guest_mode=true and the
message does not mention the bot.
- Remove redundant _is_group_chat from _is_guest_mention (caller already
verified the message is a group chat).
- Update _telegram_allowed_chats docstring to note guest_mode exception.
- Add test coverage: bot_command entity, text_mention entity,
caption_entities, and ignored_threads + guest_mode interaction.
- Add nik1t7n to AUTHOR_MAP.
The original PR placed 'pwd = pytest.importorskip("pwd")' on line 4
but 'import pytest' on line 9 — NameError on module load. Same for
test_file_sync_back.py. Plus, the in-function 'pwd = pytest.importorskip'
calls in test_auto_detected_root_is_rejected confused Python's scope
analysis (later 'import pytest' made pytest local everywhere in the
function) and caused UnboundLocalError. Drop the now-redundant
in-function importorskip calls and rely on the module-level guard.
The github-pr-workflow skill wraps the URL in double-quotes
('curl -H ... "https://api.github.com/..."'), which the original
allowlist regex (\s+https://api...) did not match. Without this,
the bundled github-pr-workflow skill is still blocked at every
cron tick despite #22605's fix landing for the bare-URL form.
Make the leading quote optional and add a regression test pinning
both single- and double-quoted forms.
Problem:
After `hermes profile use NAME`, the gateway (started via systemd with
HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes hardcoded) ignores the active profile and
always runs as the Default profile. WebUI, Telegram, and all non-CLI
platforms are affected.
Root cause:
_apply_profile_override() contained an early-return guard:
if profile_name is None and os.environ.get("HERMES_HOME"):
return # trust the inherited value
The intent was to let child processes inherit their parent's profile via
HERMES_HOME without redundantly re-reading active_profile. But
systemd also sets HERMES_HOME — to the hermes root (/root/.hermes),
not a profile directory — so the guard fired and silently skipped the
active_profile check. The user's `hermes profile use NAME` write to
~/.hermes/active_profile was never seen by the gateway process.
Fix:
Only skip the active_profile check when HERMES_HOME is already a
profile directory, identified by its immediate parent directory being
named "profiles" (e.g. ~/.hermes/profiles/coder or
/opt/data/profiles/coder). When HERMES_HOME points to a root
directory (parent name != "profiles"), continue to read active_profile.
Tests:
- test_hermes_home_at_root_with_active_profile_is_redirected: the
bug scenario — HERMES_HOME=/root/.hermes + active_profile=coder →
HERMES_HOME must be redirected to .../profiles/coder.
Stash-verified: FAILS without fix, PASSES with fix.
- test_hermes_home_already_profile_dir_is_trusted: child-process
inheritance contract unchanged — .../profiles/coder is trusted as-is.
- test_hermes_home_unset_reads_active_profile: classic path unchanged.
- test_hermes_home_unset_default_profile_no_redirect: "default" still
produces no redirect.
4/4 tests green.
Closes#22502.
When a Telegram user replies using the native quote feature to select
only part of a prior message, _build_message_event was injecting the
ENTIRE replied-to message into reply_to_text via
message.reply_to_message.text/caption. python-telegram-bot exposes
the user-selected substring as message.quote (TextQuote.text); we now
prefer that and fall back to the full replied-to text only when no
native quote is present.
The agent-visible "[Replying to: \"...\"]" prefix can otherwise expand
the user's narrow quote into the full prior message, causing the agent
to act on unrelated actionable-looking text the user did not select
(e.g. multi-item briefings where the user quotes one bullet but the
prefix injects every bullet). Falls back cleanly when message.quote
is absent (PTB <21 or replies that don't quote a substring).

Resolve git via shutil.which with POSIX and Git-for-Windows fallbacks before clone and pull so Dashboard/API installs do not misreport Git as missing.
Add regression tests for the resolver and pull subprocess invocation.
When platform_toolsets[<platform>] contains both a composite (e.g.
hermes-cli) and at least one configurable opt-in (e.g. spotify), the
has_explicit_config branch in _get_platform_tools silently dropped the
composite, leaving sessions with only the configurable + plugin tools
and no native tools (terminal, file, web, browser, memory, etc.).
Mirror the else-branch's subset inference for composites that sit
alongside the configurables, but apply _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS only to the
implicit expansion so user-listed default-off toolsets (spotify,
discord) survive.
The delegate_task tool description hardcoded 'default 3' / 'default 2' for
max_concurrent_children / max_spawn_depth, which misled the model on any
install that raised these limits — the schema text said 'default 3' even
when the user had set max_concurrent_children=15 / max_spawn_depth=3, so
the model would self-cap at 3 and never use the headroom.
Make the description dynamic. ToolEntry gains an optional
dynamic_schema_overrides callable; registry.get_definitions() merges its
output on top of the static schema before returning it. delegate_tool
registers a builder that reads the current delegation.* config and emits:
- 'up to N items concurrently for this user' (N = max_concurrent_children)
- 'Nested delegation IS enabled / OFF for this user (max_spawn_depth=N)'
- 'orchestrator children can themselves delegate up to M more level(s)'
- 'orchestrator_enabled=false' when the kill switch is set
The model_tools cache key already includes config.yaml mtime+size, so
edits to delegation.* in config invalidate the cached tool definitions
without an explicit hook. CLI_CONFIG staleness within a process is a
pre-existing limitation of _load_config and out of scope here.
Static description / tasks.description / role.description in
DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA are placeholders so module import doesn't trigger
cli.CLI_CONFIG load before the test conftest can redirect HERMES_HOME.
Enforce the parent-completion invariant at claim_task (the single
ready->running chokepoint) and re-gate unblock_task so blocked->ready
only fires when parents are done. Prevents child tasks from running
ahead of in-progress parents under the create-then-link race.
Also adds a stress test that races concurrent create+link against
hammered claim_task and asserts no child runs while any parent is undone.

Plugin authors had no easy way to figure out why their plugin wasn't
loading — failures were buried in agent.log at WARNING and skip reasons
(disabled, not enabled, depth cap, exclusive) were DEBUG-only and
invisible by default.
Set HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 to attach a stderr handler at DEBUG to the
hermes_cli.plugins logger only. Surfaces:
- which directories were scanned + manifest counts per source
- per manifest: resolved key, name, kind, source, on-disk path
- skip reasons (disabled, not enabled, exclusive, depth cap, no register)
- per load: tools/hooks/slash/CLI commands the plugin registered
- full traceback on YAML parse failure (exc_info on the existing warning)
- full traceback on register() exceptions, pointing at the plugin author's line
Env var off (default) → zero new stderr output, same as before.
Touches only hermes_cli/plugins.py + a doc section in the plugin-build
guide + an entry in the env-vars reference. 3 new tests lock the
attach/idempotent/no-attach behavior.
Problem:
unlink_tasks() removes a parent→child dependency edge but does not trigger
recompute_ready(). A child whose last blocking parent is unlinked stays
stuck in 'todo' indefinitely — it only promotes to 'ready' on the next
dispatcher tick or a manual 'hermes kanban recompute'. For CLI-only users
without a dispatcher, the child is permanently stuck.
Root cause:
complete_task() and unblock_task() both call recompute_ready() after their
write transaction so downstream children are evaluated immediately.
unlink_tasks() was missing this call — removing a dependency is
semantically equivalent to completing one, so the same recompute is needed.
Fix:
Capture the rowcount result before the write_txn exits, then call
recompute_ready(conn) outside the transaction when a row was actually
deleted (so the child sees the updated task_links state).
Tests:
Added test_unlink_tasks_triggers_recompute_ready in
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py: creates parent A (done) + parent C
(running), child B with both parents (todo), unlinks C→B, asserts B is
ready immediately. Stash-verified: FAILS without fix (child stays todo),
PASSES with fix.
62/62 tests green in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py.
Closes#22459.
/clear, /new, /reset, and /undo now ask the user to confirm before
discarding conversation state — three-option prompt routed through the
existing tools.slash_confirm primitive.
Native yes/no buttons render on Telegram, Discord, and Slack (their
adapters already implement send_slash_confirm); other platforms get a
text-fallback prompt and reply with /approve, /always, or /cancel.
The classic prompt_toolkit CLI uses the same three-option flow via the
established _prompt_text_input pattern (see _confirm_and_reload_mcp).
TUI keeps its existing modal overlay (#12312).
Gated by new config key approvals.destructive_slash_confirm (default
true). Picking 'Always Approve' flips the gate to false so subsequent
destructive commands run silently — matches the established
mcp_reload_confirm UX.
Out of scope: /cron remove (separate domain — scheduled jobs, not
session history). Existing TUI overlay env-var (HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM)
left unchanged; cosmetic unification can come later.
Closes#4069.
When the source profile is the default (~/.hermes), shutil.copytree()
was copying multi-GB infrastructure alongside the ~40 MB of actual
profile data: hermes-agent/ (repo checkout + 3 GB venv), .worktrees/,
profiles/ (sibling profiles — recursive!), bin/ (installed binaries),
node_modules/ (hundreds of MB).
Add _CLONE_ALL_DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_ROOT frozenset with these five entries
and pass an ignore callback to copytree(). Exclusions are gated on
the source actually being the default profile (is_default_source) so
named-profile sources are never affected.
Also exclude at any depth: __pycache__/, *.pyc, *.pyo, *.sock, *.tmp.
Profile data (config.yaml, .env, auth.json, state.db, sessions/,
skills/, logs/) is preserved intact — clone-all means 'complete
snapshot minus infrastructure'.
Mirrors the approach already used by _default_export_ignore() and
_DEFAULT_EXPORT_EXCLUDE_ROOT (the export-side exclusion set which is
broader because it produces a portable archive, not a live clone).

Fixes#5022
Based on PRs #5025, #5026, and #21728
Plugin platforms (IRC, Teams, Google Chat) currently fail with
`No live adapter for platform '<name>'` when a `deliver=<plugin>` cron
job runs in a separate process from the gateway, even though the
platforms are eligible cron targets via `cron_deliver_env_var` (added
in #21306). Built-in platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) use
direct REST helpers in `tools/send_message_tool.py` so cron can deliver
without holding the gateway in the same process; plugin platforms
historically depended on `_gateway_runner_ref()` which returns `None`
out of process.
This change adds an optional `standalone_sender_fn` field to
`PlatformEntry` so plugins can register an ephemeral send path that
opens its own connection, sends, and closes without needing the live
adapter. The dispatch site in `_send_via_adapter` falls through to the
hook when the gateway runner is unavailable, with a descriptive error
when neither path applies. The hook is optional, so existing plugins
are unaffected.
Reference migrations land in the same change for IRC, Teams, and
Google Chat, exercising the hook across stdlib (asyncio + IRC protocol),
Bot Framework OAuth client_credentials, and Google service-account
flows respectively.
Security hardening on the new code paths:
* IRC: control-character stripping on chat_id and message body to
block CRLF command injection; bounded nick-collision retries; JOIN
before PRIVMSG so channels with the default `+n` mode accept the
delivery.
* Teams: TEAMS_SERVICE_URL validated against an allowlist of known
Bot Framework hosts (`smba.trafficmanager.net`,
`smba.infra.gov.teams.microsoft.us`) to block SSRF; chat_id and
tenant_id constrained to the documented Bot Framework character set;
per-request timeouts so a slow STS endpoint cannot starve the
activity POST.
* Google Chat: chat_id and thread_id validated against strict
resource-name regexes; service-account refresh wrapped in
`asyncio.wait_for` so a hung token endpoint cannot stall the
scheduler.
Test coverage: 20 new tests covering happy path, missing-config errors,
network failure modes, and each defensive validation. Existing tests
unchanged. `bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py tests/gateway/test_teams.py
tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py` reports 341 passed, 0 regressions.
Documentation: new "Out-of-process cron delivery" section in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md and an entry
in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md naming the hook.
Three tests in tests/agent/test_auxiliary_config_bridge.py read
in-tree source files (gateway/run.py and cli.py) via
Path.read_text() with no encoding argument. The default falls
back to the system locale, which on Western Windows installs is
cp1252, and the read fails as soon as the source contains any
byte that isn't valid cp1252 (e.g. an em-dash in a comment):
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f
in position 41190: character maps to <undefined>
Linux CI doesn't catch this because the default Linux locale is
UTF-8. Windows contributors hit it on every run of the test suite.
Pin encoding="utf-8" on the three call sites that read repo
source files. This matches the existing precedent in
hermes_cli/doctor.py:363, where the same pattern (with an
explanatory comment) was applied to fix the .env read on
non-UTF-8 Windows locales.
Affected tests now pass on Windows + Python 3.12:
- TestGatewayBridgeCodeParity.test_gateway_has_auxiliary_bridge
- TestGatewayBridgeCodeParity.test_gateway_no_compression_env_bridge
- TestCLIDefaultsHaveAuxiliaryKeys.test_cli_defaults_can_merge_auxiliary
- Renames test_comment_custom_author -> test_comment_ignores_caller_supplied_author
and inverts its assertion: an args['author'] override is silently
ignored; the author always comes from HERMES_PROFILE.
- Adds test_comment_schema_omits_author_override to assert the
'author' property is gone from KANBAN_COMMENT_SCHEMA so the
forgery surface stays closed if someone re-adds the schema field
by accident.
- Adds test_worker_can_comment_on_foreign_task to pin the #19713
policy decision: cross-task commenting must remain unrestricted.
Without this guard, a future change accidentally adding
_enforce_worker_task_ownership to _handle_comment would close the
documented handoff channel between tasks.
Adds five regression tests for the Format 3 (Cloud Run relay) envelope
path:
- test_relay_flat_honors_declared_sender_type_bot: BOT sender_type
propagates to msg['sender']['type'].
- test_relay_flat_defaults_sender_type_human_when_absent: backward
compat \u2014 missing field still flows as HUMAN.
- test_relay_flat_coerces_unknown_sender_type_to_human: defensive
coercion \u2014 strip+upper normalizes whitespace/case, anything outside
{HUMAN, BOT} falls back to HUMAN.
- test_relay_flat_bot_sender_is_filtered_end_to_end: end-to-end
through _on_pubsub_message \u2014 a relay envelope with sender_type=BOT
is dropped by the BOT self-filter without dispatch.
- test_relay_flat_human_sender_dispatches: end-to-end negative
control \u2014 human relay envelopes still reach the agent loop.
Also clarifies the operator contract in the adapter comment: the
relay must forward upstream sender.type as envelope.sender_type,
otherwise bot replies forwarded as HUMAN cannot be distinguished
from genuine humans by this filter.
WebUI sessions construct AIAgent(platform="webui") but PLATFORM_HINTS
had no "webui" entry, so the agent received no platform hint at all.
The WebUI frontend supports rich MEDIA:/absolute/path previews for
images, audio, video, PDF, HTML, CSV, diffs, and Excalidraw, but
without a hint the agent either ignores MEDIA: or falls back to
Markdown image syntax which silently fails for local files.
Add a webui hint that documents the MEDIA: render path and warns
against  for local files.

On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
- /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
available.' with no cause
- gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
- kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
(duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)
Changes:
- hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
WARNING explaining why
- hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():
capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
(with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
- gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
(matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
- cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()
Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.
Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.

Telegram forum supergroups address the General topic as
`message_thread_id="1"` on incoming updates, but the Bot API rejects
sends with `message_thread_id=1` ("Message thread not found"). The
gateway adapter has a `_message_thread_id_for_send` helper that maps
"1" to None for that reason; the standalone `_send_telegram` helper
used by the `send_message` tool never got the same mapping, so any
`send_message` call to a Topics-enabled group's General topic
(target shape `telegram:<chat_id>:1`) failed with "Message thread
not found."
Reuse the adapter's helper when available, with an explicit fallback
to the same mapping for environments where the adapter import path
fails (e.g. python-telegram-bot missing in this venv).
Fixes#22267
OpenViking 0.3.x requires X-OpenViking-Account and X-OpenViking-User headers for ROOT API key requests to tenant-scoped APIs. Previously the `!="default"` guard skipped these headers when account/user were the literal string "default", causing INVALID_ARGUMENT errors.
Remove the `!="default"` guard so headers are sent whenever account/user are truthy. Empty strings are still correctly skipped since `""` is falsy.
Update tests to reflect the new behavior:
- test_viking_client_headers_send_tenant_when_default: asserts "default" headers ARE present
- test_viking_client_headers_send_tenant_when_empty_falls_back_to_default: asserts "default" headers ARE present from constructor fallback
Based on #21775 by @happy5318
When an auxiliary LLM provider (or an upstream proxy) returns a non-JSON
body with `Content-Type: application/json` — e.g. an HTML 502 page from a
misconfigured gateway — the OpenAI SDK's `response.json()` raises a raw
`json.JSONDecodeError` (or wraps it in `APIResponseValidationError` whose
message contains "expecting value"). Previously this fell through to the
unknown-error branch and entered a 60s cooldown without retrying on the
main model, dropping the middle conversation turns instead.
This change folds JSON-decode detection into the existing fast-path
fallback chain: detect by `isinstance(e, JSONDecodeError)` OR substring
match for "expecting value", retry once on the main model, and use a
shorter 30s cooldown when already on main (the body shape tends to flip
back to valid quickly when the upstream proxy recovers).
The three duplicated fallback bodies (model-not-found, unknown-error,
JSON-decode) are consolidated into a single `_fallback_to_main_for_compression`
helper that handles the shared bookkeeping (record aux-model failure for
`/usage`-style callers, clear summary_model, clear cooldown).
Also adds three unit tests covering: raw `JSONDecodeError` retries on main,
substring-match for wrapped exceptions, and the 30s cooldown when already
on main.
Salvage of #22248 by @0xharryriddle. Closes#22244.

The send path uses Hermes' reply-anchor fallback for DM topic lanes
(message_thread_id + reply_to_message_id), but send_chat_action only
accepts message_thread_id — Telegram's Bot API 10.0 rejects it for
these lanes. Without this short-circuit, every typing tick (~every 2s
during agent runs) makes a doomed API call that gets logged as a
'thread not found' debug warning. Skip the call entirely when the
metadata indicates a DM topic reply-fallback lane; the user-visible
behavior is unchanged (no typing indicator either way for these
lanes), but the logs stay clean.
Identified during salvage review of #22053.
Extends #19994 to the restart path. Dashboard spawns 'hermes gateway
restart' in the background; when a wedged adapter websocket pushes
drain past the 90s CLI timeout, the dashboard previously surfaced a
raw subprocess.TimeoutExpired traceback.
Mirror systemd_stop()'s TimeoutExpired catch onto both forcing-restart
sites in systemd_restart(). Adds a test that exercises the no-active-pid
branch end-to-end.
