When a user enters a local model server URL (Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp)
without a /v1 suffix during 'hermes model' custom endpoint setup,
prompt them to add it. Most OpenAI-compatible local servers require
/v1 in the base URL for chat completions to work.
When a custom/Ollama provider is used and reasoning_effort is set to 'none'
(or enabled: false), inject 'think': false into the request extra_body.
Ollama does not recognise the OpenRouter-style 'reasoning' extra_body field,
so thinking-capable models (Qwen3, etc.) generate <think> blocks regardless
of the reasoning_effort setting. This produces empty-response errors that
corrupt session state.
The fix adds a provider-specific block in _build_api_kwargs() that sets
think=false in extra_body whenever self.provider == 'custom' and reasoning
is explicitly disabled.
Closes#3191
Gateway executor work now inherits the active session contextvars via
copy_context() so background process watchers retain the correct
platform/chat/user/session metadata for routing completion events back
to the originating chat.
Cherry-picked from #10647 by @helix4u with:
- Use asyncio.get_running_loop() instead of deprecated get_event_loop()
- Strip trailing whitespace
- Add *args forwarding test
- Add exception propagation test
Recomputes GitHub Copilot api_mode from the selected model in the
shared /model switch path. Before this change, Copilot could carry a
stale codex_responses mode forward from a GPT-5 selection into a later
Claude model switch, causing unsupported_api_for_model errors.
Cherry-picked from #10533 by @helix4u with:
- Comment specificity (Provider-specific → Copilot api_mode override)
- Fix pre-existing duplicate opencode-go in set literal
- Extract test mock helper to reduce duplication
- Add GPT-5 → GPT-5 regression test (keeps codex_responses)
In Telegram forum-enabled groups, the General topic does not include
message_thread_id in incoming messages (it is None). This caused:
1. Messages in General losing thread context — replies went to wrong place
2. Typing indicator failing because thread_id=1 was rejected by Telegram
Fix: synthesize thread_id="1" for forum groups when message_thread_id
is None, then handle it correctly per operation:
- send: omit message_thread_id (Telegram rejects thread_id=1 for sends)
- typing: pass thread_id=1, retry without it on "thread not found"
Also centralizes thread_id extraction into _metadata_thread_id() across
all send methods (send, send_voice, send_image, send_document, send_video,
send_animation, send_photo), replacing ~10 duplicate patterns.

Expands the plugin interface so slash command handlers can dispatch tool
calls through the registry with parent agent context wired up automatically.
This is the public API for plugins that need to orchestrate tools like
delegate_task — they call ctx.dispatch_tool() instead of reaching into
framework internals. The parent agent is resolved lazily from _cli_ref
when available (CLI mode) and omitted in gateway mode (tools degrade
gracefully).
Enables the hermes-deliver-plugin pattern where /deliver and /fanout
slash commands spawn subagents via delegate_task without touching the
agent conversation loop.
7 new tests covering: registry delegation, parent_agent injection from
cli_ref, gateway mode (no cli_ref), uninitialized agent, explicit
parent_agent override, kwargs forwarding, return value passthrough.
Pass platform_env_var="TELEGRAM_PROXY" to resolve_proxy_url() in both
telegram.py (main connect) and telegram_network.py (fallback transport),
so a Telegram-specific proxy takes priority over the generic HTTPS_PROXY.
Also bridge telegram.proxy_url from config.yaml to the TELEGRAM_PROXY
env var (env var takes precedence if both are set), add OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
entry, docs, and tests.

Salvaged from PR #10643 by kshitijk4poor, updated for current main.
Root causes fixed:
1. Telegram xdist mock pollution — new tests/gateway/conftest.py with shared
mock that runs at collection time (prevents ChatType=None caching)
2. VIRTUAL_ENV env var leak — monkeypatch.delenv in _detect_venv_dir tests
3. Copilot base_url missing — add fallback in _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry
4. Stale vision model assertion — zai now uses glm-5v-turbo
5. Reasoning item id intentionally stripped — assert 'id' not in (store=False)
6. Context length warning unreachable — pass base_url to AIAgent in test
7. Kimi provider label updated — 'Kimi / Kimi Coding Plan' matches models.py
8. Google Workspace calendar tests — rewritten for current production code,
properly mock subprocess on api_module, removed stale +agenda assertions
9. Credential pool auto-seeding — mock _select_pool_entry / _resolve_auto /
_import_codex_cli_tokens to prevent real credentials from leaking into tests
Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch
code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called
get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never
implemented.
Changes:
- Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler,
description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts
with built-in commands
- Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager
- Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin
- Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands()
module-level convenience functions
- Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram
bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command')
- Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete
- Show command count in /plugins display
- 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection,
normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection
Closes#10495
Telegram on iOS auto-converts double hyphens (--) to em dashes (—)
or en dashes (–) via autocorrect. This breaks /model flag parsing
since parse_model_flags() only recognizes literal '--provider' and
'--global'.
When the flag isn't parsed, the entire string (e.g. 'glm-5.1 —provider zai')
gets treated as the model name and fails with 'Model names cannot
contain spaces.'
Fix: normalize Unicode dashes (U+2012-U+2015) to '--' when they
appear before flag keywords (provider, global), before flag extraction.
The existing test suite in test_model_switch_provider_routing.py
already covers all four dash variants — this commit adds the code
that makes them pass.
Replace inline Path.home() / '.hermes' / 'profiles' detection in both CLI
and gateway /profile handlers with the existing get_active_profile_name()
from hermes_cli.profiles — which already handles custom-root deployments,
standard profiles, and Docker layouts.
Fixes /profile incorrectly reporting 'default' when HERMES_HOME points to
a custom-root profile path like /opt/data/profiles/coder.

Text-only Matrix sends should continue using the lightweight _send_matrix()
HTTP helper (~100ms). Only route through the heavy MatrixAdapter (full sync +
E2EE setup) when media files are present. Adds test verifying text-only
messages don't take the adapter path.
Matrix media delivery was silently dropped by send_message because Matrix
wasn't wired into the native adapter-backed media path. Only Telegram,
Discord, and Weixin had native media support.
Adds _send_matrix_via_adapter() which creates a MatrixAdapter instance,
connects, sends text + media via the adapter's native upload methods
(send_document, send_image_file, send_video, send_voice), then disconnects.
Also fixes a stale URL-encoding assertion in test_send_message_missing_platforms
that broke after PR #10151 added quote() to room IDs.

Background review notifications ("💾 Skill created", "💾 Memory updated")
could race ahead of the main assistant reply in chat, making it look like
the agent stopped after creating a skill.
Gate bg-review notifications behind a threading.Event + pending queue.
Register a release callback on the adapter's _post_delivery_callbacks dict
so base.py's finally block fires it after the main response is delivered.
The queued-message path in _run_agent pops and calls the callback directly
to prevent double-fire.

Closes#10541
When Nous returns a 429, the retry amplification chain burns up to 9
API requests per conversation turn (3 SDK retries × 3 Hermes retries),
each counting against RPH and deepening the rate limit. With multiple
concurrent sessions (cron + gateway + auxiliary), this creates a spiral
where retries keep the limit tapped indefinitely.
New module: agent/nous_rate_guard.py
- Shared file-based rate limit state (~/.hermes/rate_limits/nous.json)
- Parses reset time from x-ratelimit-reset-requests-1h, x-ratelimit-
reset-requests, retry-after headers, or error context
- Falls back to 5-minute default cooldown if no header data
- Atomic writes (tempfile + rename) for cross-process safety
- Auto-cleanup of expired state files
run_agent.py changes:
- Top-of-retry-loop guard: when another session already recorded Nous
as rate-limited, skip the API call entirely. Try fallback provider
first, then return a clear message with the reset time.
- On 429 from Nous: record rate limit state and skip further retries
(sets retry_count = max_retries to trigger fallback path)
- On success from Nous: clear the rate limit state so other sessions
know they can resume
auxiliary_client.py changes:
- _try_nous() checks rate guard before attempting Nous in the auxiliary
fallback chain. When rate-limited, returns (None, None) so the chain
skips to the next provider instead of piling more requests onto Nous.
This eliminates three sources of amplification:
1. Hermes-level retries (saves 6 of 9 calls per turn)
2. Cross-session retries (cron + gateway all skip Nous)
3. Auxiliary fallback to Nous (compression/session_search skip too)
Includes 24 tests covering the rate guard module, header parsing,
state lifecycle, and auxiliary client integration.
Extract resolve_channel_prompt() shared helper into
gateway/platforms/base.py. Refactor Discord to use it.
Wire channel_prompts into Telegram (groups + forum topics),
Slack (channels), and Mattermost (channels).
Config bridging now applies to all platforms (not just Discord).
Added channel_prompts defaults to telegram/slack/mattermost
config sections.
Docs added to all four platform pages with platform-specific
examples (topic inheritance for Telegram, channel IDs for Slack,
etc.).
Move _ensure_discord_mock() from module level to _make_adapter() so it
doesn't poison sys.modules for other discord test files. Use
types.ModuleType instead of MagicMock for the mock module to avoid
auto-generated __file__ attribute confusing hasattr checks.
Add BrennerSpear to AUTHOR_MAP.
- Remove double str() normalization in _resolve_channel_prompt since
config bridging already handles numeric YAML key conversion
- Remove dead prompts.get(str(key)) fallback that could never match
after keys were already normalized to strings
- Replace getattr(event, "channel_prompt", None) with direct attribute
access since channel_prompt is a declared dataclass field
- Update test to verify normalization responsibility lives in config bridging
When proxy env vars (HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, ALL_PROXY) contain
malformed URLs — e.g. 'http://127.0.0.1:6153export' from a broken
shell config — the OpenAI/httpx client throws a cryptic 'Invalid port'
error that doesn't identify the offending variable.
Add _validate_proxy_env_urls() and _validate_base_url() in
auxiliary_client.py, called from resolve_provider_client() and
_create_openai_client() to fail fast with a clear, actionable error
message naming the broken env var or URL.

Found via trace data audit: JWT tokens (eyJ...) and Discord snowflake
mentions (<@ID>) were passing through unredacted.
JWT pattern: matches 1/2/3-part tokens starting with eyJ (base64 for '{').
Zero false-positive risk — no normal text matches eyJ + 10+ base64url chars.
Discord pattern: matches <@digits> and <@!digits> with 17-20 digit snowflake
IDs. Syntactically unique to Discord's mention format.
Both patterns follow the same structural-uniqueness standard as existing
prefix patterns (sk-, ghp_, AKIA, etc.).
_parse_session_key() blindly assigned parts[5] as thread_id for all
chat types. For group sessions with per-user isolation, parts[5] is
a user_id, not a thread_id. This could cause shutdown notifications
to route with incorrect thread metadata.
Only return thread_id for chat types where the 6th element is
unambiguous: dm and thread. For group/channel sessions, omit
thread_id since the suffix may be a user_id.
Based on the approach from PR #9938 by @Ruzzgar.
OpenCode Go does not expose a shared /models endpoint, so the doctor
probe was always failing and producing a false warning. Set the default
URL to None and disable the health check for this provider.
Both /queue and /quit registered 'q' as an alias. Since /quit appeared
later in COMMAND_REGISTRY, _build_command_lookup() silently overwrote
/queue's claim, making the documented /queue shorthand unusable.
Fix: remove 'q' from /quit's aliases. /quit already has 'exit' as an
alias plus the full '/quit' command. /queue has no other short alias.
Closes#10467
The recovery block previously only retried (continue) when one of the
per-component sanitization checks (messages, tools, system prompt,
headers, credentials) found and stripped non-ASCII content. When the
non-ASCII lived only in api_messages' reasoning_content field (which
is built from messages['reasoning'] and not checked by the original
_sanitize_messages_non_ascii), all checks returned False and the
recovery fell through to the normal error path — burning a retry
attempt despite _force_ascii_payload being set.
Now the recovery always continues (retries) when _is_ascii_codec is
detected. The _force_ascii_payload flag guarantees the next iteration
runs _sanitize_structure_non_ascii(api_kwargs) on the full API payload,
catching any remaining non-ASCII regardless of where it lives.
Also adds test for the 'reasoning' field on canonical messages.
Fixes#6843
The ASCII-locale recovery path in run_agent.py sanitized the canonical
'messages' list but left 'api_messages' untouched. api_messages is a
separate API-copy built before the retry loop and may carry extra fields
(reasoning_content, extra_body entries) that are not present in
'messages'. This caused the retry to still raise UnicodeEncodeError even
after the 'System encoding is ASCII — stripped...' log line appeared.
Two changes:
- _sanitize_messages_non_ascii now walks all extra top-level string fields
in each message dict (any key not in {content, name, tool_calls, role})
so reasoning_content and future extras are cleaned in both 'messages'
and 'api_messages'.
- The ASCII-codec recovery block now also calls sanitize on api_messages
and api_kwargs so no non-ASCII survives into the next retry attempt.
Adds regression tests covering:
- reasoning_content with non-ASCII in api_messages
- extra_body with non-ASCII in api_kwargs
- canonical messages clean but api_messages dirty
Fixes#6843
After clear_session_vars() reset contextvars to their default (''),
get_session_env() treated the empty string as falsy and fell through
to os.environ — resurrecting stale HERMES_SESSION_* values from CLI
startup, cron, or previous sessions. This broke session isolation
in the gateway where concurrent messages could see each other's
stale environment values.
Fix: use a sentinel (_UNSET) as the contextvar default instead of ''.
get_session_env() now checks 'value is not _UNSET' instead of
truthiness. Three states are cleanly distinguished:
- _UNSET (never set): fall back to os.environ (CLI/cron compat)
- '' (explicitly cleared): return '' — no os.environ fallback
- 'telegram' (actively set): return the value
clear_session_vars() now uses var.set('') instead of var.reset(token)
to mark vars as explicitly cleared rather than reverting to _UNSET.
Closes#10304
When a model (e.g. mimo-v2-pro) streams intermediate text alongside tool
calls ("Let me search for that") but then returns empty after processing
tool results, the stream consumer already_sent flag is True from the
earlier text delivery. The gateway suppression check
(already_sent=True, failed=False → return None) would swallow the final
response, leaving the user staring at silence after the search.
Two changes:
1. gateway/run.py return path: skip already_sent suppression when the
final_response is "(empty)" or empty — the user needs to know the
agent finished even if streaming sent partial content earlier.
2. gateway/run.py response handler: convert the internal "(empty)"
sentinel to a user-friendly warning instead of delivering the raw
sentinel string.
Tests added for all empty/None/sentinel cases plus preserved existing
suppression behavior for normal non-empty responses.
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
Fixes#4956, #9099. Supersedes #4987, #9123, #9130, #9132, #9982.
Discord's _register_slash_commands() had a hardcoded list of ~27 commands
while COMMAND_REGISTRY defines 34+ gateway-available commands. Missing
commands (debug, branch, rollback, snapshot, profile, yolo, fast, reload,
commands) were invisible in Discord's / autocomplete — users couldn't
discover them.
Add a dynamic catch-all loop after the explicit registrations that
iterates COMMAND_REGISTRY, skips already-registered commands, and
auto-registers the rest using discord.app_commands.Command(). Commands
with args_hint get an optional string parameter; parameterless commands
get a simple callback.
This ensures any future commands added to COMMAND_REGISTRY automatically
appear on Discord without needing a manual entry in discord.py.
Telegram and Slack already derive dynamically from COMMAND_REGISTRY
via telegram_bot_commands() and slack_subcommand_map() — no changes
needed there.
When a user runs /browser connect to attach browser tools to their real
Chrome instance via CDP, the BROWSER_CDP_URL env var is set. However,
every browser tool function checks _is_camofox_mode() first, which
short-circuits to the Camofox backend before _get_session_info() ever
checks for the CDP override.
Fix: is_camofox_mode() now returns False when BROWSER_CDP_URL is set,
so the explicit CDP connection takes priority. This is the correct
behavior — /browser connect is an intentional user override.

Models (especially open-source like qwen3.5-plus) may send non-int values
for the limit parameter — None (JSON null), string, or even a type object.
This caused TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'int' and
'type' when the value reached min()/comparison operations.
Changes:
- Add defensive int coercion at session_search() entry with fallback to 3
- Clamp limit to [1, 5] range (was only capped at 5, not floored)
- Add tests for None, type object, string, negative, and zero limit values

Memory provider plugins (e.g. Mnemosyne) can register tools via two paths:
1. Plugin system (ctx.register_tool) → tool registry → get_tool_definitions()
2. Memory manager → get_all_tool_schemas() → direct append in AIAgent.__init__
Path 2 blindly appended without checking if path 1 already added the same
tool names. This created duplicate function names in the tools array sent
to the API. Most providers silently handle duplicates, but Xiaomi MiMo
(via Nous Portal) strictly rejects them with a 400 Bad Request.
Fix: build a set of existing tool names before memory manager injection
and skip any tool whose name is already present.
Confirmed via live testing against Nous Portal:
- Unique tool names → 200 OK
- Duplicate tool names → 400 'Provider returned error'
- Pastes uploaded by /debug now auto-delete after 1 hour via a detached
background process that sends DELETE to paste.rs
- CLI: shows privacy notice listing what data will be uploaded
- Gateway: only uploads summary report (system info + log tails), NOT
full log files containing conversation content
- Added 'hermes debug delete <url>' for immediate manual deletion
- 16 new tests covering auto-delete scheduling, paste deletion, privacy
notices, and the delete subcommand
Addresses user privacy concern where /debug uploaded full conversation
logs to a public paste service with no warning or expiry.
Two gateway fixes:
1. MessageDeduplicator.is_duplicate() now checks TTL at query time (#10306)
Previously, is_duplicate() returned True for any previously seen ID
without checking its age — expired entries were only purged when cache
size exceeded max_size. On normal workloads that never overflow, message
IDs stayed deduplicated forever instead of expiring after the TTL.
Fix: check `now - timestamp < ttl` before returning True. Expired
entries are removed and treated as new messages.
2. Gateway --config flag now uses yaml.safe_load() (#10216)
The --config CLI flag in gateway/run.py main() used json.load() to
parse config files. YAML is the only documented config format and
every other config loader uses yaml.safe_load(). A YAML config file
passed via --config would crash with json.JSONDecodeError.
Closes#10306Closes#10216
The on_memory_write bridge that notifies external memory providers
(ClawMem, retaindb, supermemory, etc.) of built-in memory writes was
only present in the concurrent tool execution path (_invoke_tool).
The sequential path (_execute_tool_calls_sequential) — which handles
all single tool calls, the common case — was missing it entirely.
This meant external memory providers silently missed every single-call
memory write, which is the vast majority of memory operations.
Fix: add the identical bridge block to the sequential path, right
after the memory_tool call returns.
Closes#10174
Multiple gaps in activity tracking could cause the gateway's inactivity
timeout to fire while the agent is actively working:
1. Streaming wait loop had no periodic heartbeat — the outer thread only
touched activity when the stale-stream detector fired (180-300s), and
for local providers (Ollama) the stale timeout was infinity, meaning
zero heartbeats. Now touches activity every 30s.
2. Concurrent tool execution never set the activity callback on worker
threads (threading.local invisible across threads) and never set
_current_tool. Workers now set the callback, and the concurrent wait
uses a polling loop with 30s heartbeats.
3. Modal backend's execute() override had its own polling loop without
any activity callback. Now matches _wait_for_process cadence (10s).
The _client_cache used event loop id() as part of the cache key, so
every new worker-thread event loop created a new entry for the same
provider config. In long-running gateways where threads are recycled
frequently, this caused unbounded cache growth — each stale entry
held an unclosed AsyncOpenAI client with its httpx connection pool,
eventually exhausting file descriptors.
Fix: remove loop_id from the cache key and instead validate on each
async cache hit that the cached loop is the current, open loop. If
the loop changed or was closed, the stale entry is replaced in-place
rather than creating an additional entry. This bounds cache growth
to at most one entry per unique provider config.
Also adds a _CLIENT_CACHE_MAX_SIZE (64) safety belt with FIFO
eviction as defense-in-depth against any remaining unbounded growth.
Cross-loop safety is preserved: different event loops still get
different client instances (validated by existing test suite).
Closes#10200
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
