PR #14935 added a Codex-aware context resolver but only new lookups
hit the live /models probe. Users who had run Hermes on gpt-5.5 / 5.4
BEFORE that PR already had the wrong value (e.g. 1,050,000 from
models.dev) persisted in ~/.hermes/context_length_cache.yaml, and the
cache-first lookup in get_model_context_length() returns it forever.
Symptom (reported in the wild by Ludwig, min heo, Gaoge on current
main at 6051fba9d, which is AFTER #14935):
* Startup banner shows context usage against 1M
* Compression fires late and then OpenAI hard-rejects with
'context length will be reduced from 1,050,000 to 128,000'
around the real 272k boundary.
Fix: when the step-1 cache returns a value for an openai-codex lookup,
check whether it's >= 400k. Codex OAuth caps every slug at 272k (live
probe values) so anything at or above 400k is definitionally a
pre-#14935 leftover. Drop that entry from the on-disk cache and fall
through to step 5, which runs the live /models probe and repersists
the correct value (or 272k from the hardcoded fallback if the probe
fails). Non-Codex providers and legitimately-cached Codex entries at
272k are untouched.
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py:
* _invalidate_cached_context_length() — drop a single entry from
context_length_cache.yaml and rewrite the file.
* Step-1 cache check in get_model_context_length() now gates
provider=='openai-codex' entries >= 400k through invalidation
instead of returning them.
Tests (3 new in TestCodexOAuthContextLength):
- stale 1.05M Codex entry is dropped from disk AND re-resolved
through the live probe to 272k; unrelated cache entries survive.
- fresh 272k Codex entry is respected (no probe call, no invalidation).
- non-Codex 1M entries (e.g. anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 on OpenRouter)
are unaffected — the guard is strictly scoped to openai-codex.
Full tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py: 88 passed.
Make the main-branch test suite pass again. Most failures were tests
still asserting old shapes after recent refactors; two were real source
bugs.
Source fixes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: _kill_orphaned_mcp_children() slept 2s on every
shutdown even when no tracked PIDs existed, making test_shutdown_is_parallel
measure ~3s for 3 parallel 1s shutdowns. Early-return when pids is empty.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: tip 105 was 157 chars; corpus max is 150.
Test fixes (mostly stale mock targets / missing fixture fields):
- test_zombie_process_cleanup, test_agent_cache: patch run_agent.cleanup_vm
(the local name bound at import), not tools.terminal_tool.cleanup_vm.
- test_browser_camofox: patch tools.browser_camofox.load_config, not
hermes_cli.config.load_config (the source module, not the resolved one).
- test_flush_memories_codex._chat_response_with_memory_call: add
finish_reason, tool_call.id, tool_call.type so the chat_completions
transport normalizer doesn't AttributeError.
- test_concurrent_interrupt: polling_tool signature now accepts
messages= kwarg that _invoke_tool() passes through.
- test_minimax_provider: add _fallback_chain=[] to the __new__'d agent
so switch_model() doesn't AttributeError.
- test_skills_config: SKILLS_DIR MagicMock + .rglob stopped working
after the scanner switched to agent.skill_utils.iter_skill_index_files
(os.walk-based). Point SKILLS_DIR at a real tmp_path and patch
agent.skill_utils.get_external_skills_dirs.
- test_browser_cdp_tool: browser_cdp toolset was intentionally split into
'browser-cdp' (commit 96b0f3700) so its stricter check_fn doesn't gate
the whole browser toolset; test now expects 'browser-cdp'.
- test_registry: add tools.browser_dialog_tool to the expected
builtin-discovery set (PR #14540 added it).
- test_file_tools TestPatchHints: patch_tool surfaces hints as a '_hint'
key on the JSON payload, not inline '[Hint: ...' text.
- test_write_deny test_hermes_env: resolve .env via get_hermes_home() so
the path matches the profile-aware denylist under hermetic HERMES_HOME.
- test_checkpoint_manager test_falls_back_to_parent: guard the walk-up
so a stray /tmp/pyproject.toml on the host doesn't pick up /tmp as the
project root.
- test_quick_commands: set cli.session_id in the __new__'d CLI so the
alias-args path doesn't trip AttributeError when fuzzy-matching leaks
a skill command across xdist test distribution.
Gemini's Schema validator requires every `enum` entry to be a string,
even when the parent `type` is integer/number/boolean. Discord's
`auto_archive_duration` parameter (`type: integer, enum: [60, 1440,
4320, 10080]`) tripped this on every request that shipped the full
tool catalog to generativelanguage.googleapis.com, surfacing as
`Gateway: Non-retryable client error: Gemini HTTP 400 (INVALID_ARGUMENT)
Invalid value ... (TYPE_STRING), 60` and aborting the turn.
Sanitize by dropping the `enum` key when the declared type is numeric
or boolean and any entry is non-string. The `type` and `description`
survive, so the model still knows the allowed values; the tool handler
keeps its own runtime validation. Other providers (OpenAI,
OpenRouter, Anthropic) are unaffected — the sanitizer only runs for
native Gemini / cloudcode adapters.
Reported by @selfhostedsoul on Discord with hermes debug share.
Adds an optional bank_id_template config that derives the bank name at
initialize() time from runtime context. Existing users with a static
bank_id keep the current behavior (template is empty by default).
Supported placeholders:
{profile} — active Hermes profile (agent_identity kwarg)
{workspace} — Hermes workspace (agent_workspace kwarg)
{platform} — cli, telegram, discord, etc.
{user} — platform user id (gateway sessions)
{session} — session id
Unsafe characters in placeholder values are sanitized, and empty
placeholders collapse cleanly (e.g. "hermes-{user}" with no user
becomes "hermes"). If the template renders empty, the static bank_id
is used as a fallback.
Common uses:
bank_id_template: hermes-{profile} # isolate per Hermes profile
bank_id_template: {workspace}-{profile} # workspace + profile scoping
bank_id_template: hermes-{user} # per-user banks for gateway
Reusing session_id as document_id caused data loss on /resume: when
the session is loaded again, _session_turns starts empty and the next
retain replaces the entire previously stored content.
Now each process lifecycle gets its own document_id formed as
{session_id}-{startup_timestamp}, so:
- Same session, same process: turns accumulate into one document (existing behavior)
- Resume (new process, same session): writes a new document, old one preserved
- Forks: child process gets its own document; parent's doc is untouched
Also adds session lineage tags so all processes for the same session
(or its parent) can still be filtered together via recall:
- session:<session_id> on every retain
- parent:<parent_session_id> when initialized with parent_session_id
Closes#6602
The existing test_local_embedded_setup_materializes_profile_env expected
exact equality on ~/.hermes/.env content; the new HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT=120
line from the timeout feature now appears in that file. Append it to the
expected string so the test reflects the new post_setup output.
The previous commit added HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT as a configurable env var,
but _run_sync still used the hardcoded _DEFAULT_TIMEOUT (120s). All
async operations (recall, retain, reflect, aclose) now go through an
instance method that uses self._timeout, so the configured value is
actually applied.
Also: added backward-compatible alias comment for the module-level
function.
The Hindsight Cloud API can take 30-40 seconds per request. The
hardcoded 30s timeout was too aggressive and caused frequent
timeout errors. This patch:
1. Adds HINDSIGHT_TIMEOUT environment variable (default: 120s)
2. Adds timeout to the config schema for setup wizard visibility
3. Uses the configurable timeout in both _run_sync() and client creation
4. Reads from config.json or env var, falling back to 120s default
This makes the timeout upgrade-proof — users can set it via env var
or config without patching source code.

The module-global `_loop` / `_loop_thread` pair is shared across every
`HindsightMemoryProvider` instance in the process — the plugin loader
creates one provider per `AIAgent`, and the gateway creates one `AIAgent`
per concurrent chat session (Telegram/Discord/Slack/CLI).
`HindsightMemoryProvider.shutdown()` stopped the shared loop when any one
session ended. That stranded the aiohttp `ClientSession` and `TCPConnector`
owned by every sibling provider on a now-dead loop — they were never
reachable for close and surfaced as the `Unclosed client session` /
`Unclosed connector` warnings reported in #11923.
Fix: stop stopping the shared loop in `shutdown()`. Per-provider cleanup
still closes that provider's own client via `self._client.aclose()`. The
loop runs on a daemon thread and is reclaimed on process exit; keeping
it alive between provider shutdowns means sibling providers can drain
their own sessions cleanly.
Regression tests in `tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py`
(`TestSharedEventLoopLifecycle`):
- `test_shutdown_does_not_stop_shared_event_loop` — two providers share
the loop; shutting down one leaves the loop live for the other. This
test reproduces the #11923 leak on `main` and passes with the fix.
- `test_client_aclose_called_on_cloud_mode_shutdown` — each provider's
own aiohttp session is still closed via `aclose()`.
Fixes#11923.
The cherry-picked model_picker test installed its own discord mock at
module-import time via a local _ensure_discord_mock(), overwriting
sys.modules['discord'] with a mock that lacked attributes other
gateway tests needed (Intents.default(), File, app_commands.Choice).
On pytest-xdist workers that collected test_discord_model_picker.py
first, the shared mock in tests/gateway/conftest.py got clobbered and
downstream tests failed with AttributeError / TypeError against
missing mock attrs. Classic sys.modules cross-test pollution (see
xdist-cross-test-pollution skill).
Fix:
- Extend the canonical _ensure_discord_mock() in tests/gateway/conftest.py
to cover everything the model_picker test needs: real View/Select/
Button/SelectOption classes (not MagicMock sentinels), an Embed
class that preserves title/description/color kwargs for assertion,
and Color.greyple.
- Strip the duplicated mock-setup block from test_discord_model_picker.py
and rely on the shared mock that conftest installs at collection
time.

Xiaomi's API (api.xiaomimimo.com) requires lowercase model IDs like
"mimo-v2.5-pro" but rejects mixed-case names like "MiMo-V2.5-Pro"
that users copy from marketing docs or the ProviderEntry description.
Add _LOWERCASE_MODEL_PROVIDERS set and apply .lower() to model names
for providers in this set (currently just xiaomi) after stripping the
provider prefix. This ensures any case variant in config.yaml is
normalized before hitting the API.
Other providers (minimax, zai, etc.) are NOT affected — their APIs
accept mixed case (e.g. MiniMax-M2.7).

Auxiliary tasks (session_search, flush_memories, approvals, compression,
vision, etc.) that route to a named custom provider declared under
config.yaml 'providers:' with 'api_mode: anthropic_messages' were
silently building a plain OpenAI client and POSTing to
{base_url}/chat/completions, which returns 404 on Anthropic-compatible
gateways that only expose /v1/messages.
Two gaps caused this:
1. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py::_get_named_custom_provider — the
providers-dict branch (new-style) returned only name/base_url/api_key/
model and dropped api_mode. The legacy custom_providers-list branch
already propagated it correctly. The dict branch now parses and
returns api_mode via _parse_api_mode() in both match paths.
2. agent/auxiliary_client.py::resolve_provider_client — the named
custom provider block at ~L1740 ignored custom_entry['api_mode']
and unconditionally built an OpenAI client (only wrapping for
Codex/Responses). It now mirrors _try_custom_endpoint()'s three-way
dispatch: anthropic_messages → AnthropicAuxiliaryClient (async wrapped
in AsyncAnthropicAuxiliaryClient), codex_responses → CodexAuxiliaryClient,
otherwise plain OpenAI. An explicit task-level api_mode override
still wins over the provider entry's declared api_mode.
Fixes#15033
Tests: tests/agent/test_auxiliary_named_custom_providers.py gains a
TestProvidersDictApiModeAnthropicMessages class covering
- providers-dict preserves valid api_mode
- invalid api_mode values are dropped
- missing api_mode leaves the entry unchanged (no regression)
- resolve_provider_client returns (Async)AnthropicAuxiliaryClient for
api_mode=anthropic_messages
- full chain via get_text_auxiliary_client / get_async_text_auxiliary_client
with an auxiliary.<task> override
- providers without api_mode still use the OpenAI-wire path
When context compression fires mid-session, run_agent's _compress_context
ends the current session, creates a new child session linked by
parent_session_id, and resets the SQLite flush cursor. New messages land
in the child; the parent row ends up with message_count = 0. A user who
runs 'hermes --resume <original_id>' sees a blank chat even though the
transcript exists — just under a descendant id.
PR #12920 already fixed the exit banner to print the live descendant id
at session end, but that didn't help users who resume by a session id
captured BEFORE the banner update (scripts, sessions list, old terminal
scrollback) or who type the parent id manually.
Fix: add SessionDB.resolve_resume_session_id() which walks the
parent→child chain forward and returns the first descendant with at
least one message row. Wire it into all three resume entry points:
- HermesCLI._preload_resumed_session() (early resume at run() time)
- HermesCLI._init_agent() (the classical resume path)
- /resume slash command
Semantics preserved when the chain has no descendants with messages,
when the requested session already has messages, or when the id is
unknown. A depth cap of 32 guards against malformed loops.
This does NOT concatenate the pre-compression parent transcript into
the child — the whole point of compression is to shrink that, so
replaying it would blow the cache budget we saved. We just jump to
the post-compression child. The summary already reflects what was
compressed away.
Tests: tests/hermes_state/test_resolve_resume_session_id.py covers
- the exact 6-session shape from the issue
- passthrough when session has messages / no descendants
- passthrough for nonexistent / empty / None input
- middle-of-chain redirects
- fork resolution (prefers most-recent child)

Pin the behaviour added in the preceding commit — `_get_proxy_for_base_url()`

NO_PROXY host.

Follow-up to the allowed_channels wildcard fix in the preceding commit.
The same '*' literal trap affected two other Discord channel config lists:
- DISCORD_IGNORED_CHANNELS: '*' was stored as the literal string in the
ignored set, and the intersection check never matched real channel IDs,
so '*' was a no-op instead of silencing every channel.
- DISCORD_FREE_RESPONSE_CHANNELS: same shape — '*' never matched, so
the bot still required a mention everywhere.
Add a '*' short-circuit to both checks, matching the allowed_channels
semantics. Extend tests/gateway/test_discord_allowed_channels.py with
regression coverage for all three lists.
Refs: #14920
allowed_channels: "*" in config (or DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS="*" env var)
is meant to allow all channels, but the check was comparing numeric channel
IDs against the literal string set {"*"} via set intersection — always empty,
so every message was silently dropped.
Add a "*" short-circuit before the set intersection, consistent with every
other platform's allowlist handling (Signal, Slack, Telegram all do this).

Follow-up to aeff6dfe:
- Fix semantic error in VALID_HOOKS inline comment ("after core auth" ->
"before auth"). Hook intentionally runs BEFORE auth so plugins can
handle unauthorized senders without triggering the pairing flow.
- Fix wrong class name in the same comment (HermesGateway ->
GatewayRunner, matching gateway/run.py).
- Add a full ### pre_gateway_dispatch section in
website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md (matches the pattern of
every other plugin hook: signature, params table, fires-where,
return-value table, use cases, two worked examples) plus a row in
the quick-reference table.
- Add the anchor link on the plugins.md table row so it matches the
other hook entries.
No code behavior change.
Introduces a new plugin hook `pre_gateway_dispatch` fired once per
incoming MessageEvent in `_handle_message`, after the internal-event
guard but before the auth / pairing chain. Plugins may return a dict
to influence flow:
{"action": "skip", "reason": "..."} -> drop (no reply)
{"action": "rewrite", "text": "..."} -> replace event.text
{"action": "allow"} / None -> normal dispatch
Motivation: gateway-level message-flow patterns that don't fit cleanly
into any single adapter — e.g. listen-only group-chat windows (buffer
ambient messages, collapse on @mention), or human-handover silent
ingest (record messages while an owner handles the chat manually).
Today these require forking core; with this hook they can live in a
single profile-agnostic plugin.
Hook runs BEFORE auth so plugins can handle unauthorized senders
(e.g. customer-service handover ingest) without triggering the
pairing-code flow. Exceptions in plugin callbacks are caught and
logged; the first non-None action dict wins, remaining results are
ignored.
Includes:
- `VALID_HOOKS` entry + inline doc in `hermes_cli/plugins.py`
- Invocation block in `gateway/run.py::_handle_message`
- 5 new tests in `tests/gateway/test_pre_gateway_dispatch.py`
(skip, rewrite, allow, exception safety, internal-event bypass)
- 2 additional tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py`

- agent/model_metadata.py: add _resolve_requests_verify() reading

order. Apply explicit verify= to all 6 requests.get callsites.
- Tests: 18 new unit tests + autouse platform pin on existing

Empirically verified against self-signed HTTPS server: requests honors

The aliases were added to hermes_cli/providers.py but auth.py has its own
_PROVIDER_ALIASES table inside resolve_provider() that is consulted before
PROVIDER_REGISTRY lookup. Without this, provider: alibaba_coding in
config.yaml (the exact repro from #14940) raised 'Unknown provider'.
Mirror the three aliases into auth.py so resolve_provider() accepts them.
The alibaba-coding-plan provider (coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1)
was not registered in providers.py or auth.py. When users set
provider: alibaba_coding or provider: alibaba-coding-plan in config.yaml,
Hermes could not resolve the credentials and fell back to OpenRouter
or rejected the request with HTTP 401/402 (issue #14940).
Changes:
- providers.py: add HermesOverlay for alibaba-coding-plan with
ALIBABA_CODING_PLAN_BASE_URL env var support
- providers.py: add aliases alibaba_coding, alibaba-coding,
alibaba_coding_plan -> alibaba-coding-plan
- auth.py: add ProviderConfig for alibaba-coding-plan with:

Manual /compress crashed with 'LCMEngine' object has no attribute
'_align_boundary_forward' when any context-engine plugin was active.
The gateway handler reached into _align_boundary_forward and
_find_tail_cut_by_tokens on tmp_agent.context_compressor, but those
are ContextCompressor-specific — not part of the generic ContextEngine
ABC — so every plugin engine (LCM, etc.) raised AttributeError.
- Add optional has_content_to_compress(messages) to ContextEngine ABC
with a safe default of True (always attempt).
- Override it in the built-in ContextCompressor using the existing
private helpers — preserves exact prior behavior for 'compressor'.
- Rewrite gateway /compress preflight to call the ABC method, deleting
the private-helper reach-in.
- Add focus_topic to the ABC compress() signature. Make _compress_context
retry without focus_topic on TypeError so older strict-sig plugins
don't crash on manual /compress <focus>.
- Regression test with a fake ContextEngine subclass that only
implements the ABC (mirrors LCM's surface).
Reported by @selfhostedsoul (Discord, Apr 22).
faster-whisper's device="auto" picks CUDA when ctranslate2's wheel
ships CUDA shared libs, even on hosts without the NVIDIA runtime
(libcublas.so.12 / libcudnn*). On those hosts the model often loads
fine but transcribe() fails at first dlopen, and the broken model
stays cached in the module-global — every subsequent voice message
in the gateway process fails identically until restart.
- Add _load_local_whisper_model() wrapper: try auto, catch missing-lib
errors, retry on device=cpu compute_type=int8.
- Wrap transcribe() with the same fallback: evict cached model, reload
on CPU, retry once. Required because the dlopen failure only surfaces
at first kernel launch, not at model construction.
- Narrow marker list (libcublas, libcudnn, libcudart, 'cannot be loaded',
'no kernel image is available', 'no CUDA-capable device', driver
mismatch). Deliberately excludes 'CUDA out of memory' and similar —
those are real runtime failures that should surface, not be silently
retried on CPU.
- Tests for load-time fallback, runtime fallback (with cached-model
eviction verified), and the OOM non-fallback path.
Reported via Telegram voice-message dumps on WSL2 hosts where libcublas
isn't installed by default.
Local llama.cpp servers (e.g. ggml-org/llama.cpp:full-cuda) fail the entire
request with HTTP 400 'Unable to generate parser for this template. ...
Unrecognized schema: "object"' when any tool schema contains shapes its
json-schema-to-grammar converter can't handle:
* 'type': 'object' without 'properties'
* bare string schema values ('additionalProperties: "object"')
* 'type': ['X', 'null'] arrays (nullable form)
Cloud providers accept these silently, so they ship from external MCP
servers (Atlassian, GCloud, Datadog) and from a couple of our own tools.
Changes
- tools/schema_sanitizer.py: walks the finalized tool list right before it
leaves get_tool_definitions() and repairs the hostile shapes in a deep
copy. No-op on well-formed schemas. Recurses into properties, items,
additionalProperties, anyOf/oneOf/allOf, and $defs.
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions(): invoke the sanitizer as the last
step so all paths (built-in, MCP, plugin, dynamically-rebuilt) get
covered uniformly.
- tools/browser_cdp_tool.py, tools/mcp_tool.py: fix our own bare-object
schemas so sanitization isn't load-bearing for in-repo tools.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _load_enabled_toolsets() was passing
include_default_mcp_servers=False at runtime. That's the config-editing
variant (see PR #3252) — it silently drops every default MCP server
from the TUI's enabled_toolsets, which is why the TUI didn't hit the
llama.cpp crash (no MCP tools sent at all). Switch to True so TUI
matches CLI behavior.
Tests
tests/tools/test_schema_sanitizer.py (17 tests) covers the individual
failure modes, well-formed pass-through, deep-copy isolation, and
required-field pruning.
E2E: loaded the default 'hermes-cli' toolset with MCP discovery and
confirmed all 27 resolved tool schemas pass a llama.cpp-compatibility
walk (no 'object' node missing 'properties', no bare-string schema
values).
Round-2 Copilot review on #14968 caught two leftover spots that didn't
fully respect per-section overrides:
- messageLine.tsx (trail branch): the previous fix gated on
`SECTION_NAMES.some(...)`, which stayed true whenever any section was
visible. With `thinking: 'expanded'` as the new built-in default,
that meant `display.sections.tools: hidden` left an empty wrapper Box
alive for trail messages. Now gates on the actual content-bearing
sections for a trail message — `tools` OR `activity` — so a
tools-hidden config drops the wrapper cleanly.
- messageLine.tsx (showDetails): still keyed off the global
`detailsMode !== 'hidden'`, so per-section overrides like
`sections.thinking: expanded` couldn't escape global hidden for
assistant messages with reasoning + tool metadata. Recomputed via
resolved per-section modes (`thinkingMode`/`toolsMode`).
- types.ts: rewrote the SectionVisibility doc comment to reflect the
actual resolution order (explicit override → SECTION_DEFAULTS →
global), so the docstring stops claiming "missing keys fall back to
the global mode" when SECTION_DEFAULTS now layers in between.
All three lookups (thinking/tools/activity) are computed once at the
top of MessageLine and shared by every branch.
Extends SECTION_DEFAULTS so the out-of-the-box TUI shows the turn as
a live transcript (reasoning + tool calls streaming inline) instead of
a wall of `▸` chevrons the user has to click every turn.
Final default matrix:
- thinking: expanded
- tools: expanded
- activity: hidden (unchanged from the previous commit)
- subagents: falls through to details_mode (collapsed by default)
Everything explicit in `display.sections` still wins, so anyone who
already pinned an override keeps their layout. One-line revert is
`display.sections.<name>: collapsed`.
