ALTER TABLE calls inside _migrate_add_optional_columns were guarded by a
snapshot of PRAGMA table_info taken at function entry. When the gateway
dispatcher opens the kanban DB twice per tick (once in _tick_once_for_board
and once via init_db's discard-and-reconnect path), a second connection can
run the same migration before the first one commits, causing:
sqlite3.OperationalError: duplicate column name: consecutive_failures
This crashed the dispatcher on every first tick after a gateway restart
(subsequent ticks succeeded because the columns were then present).
Fix: introduce _add_column_if_missing() which wraps ALTER TABLE in a
try/except that swallows OperationalError whose message contains
'duplicate column name'. All ALTER TABLE calls in
_migrate_add_optional_columns are routed through this helper.
Closes#21708
DeepSeek V4 Pro returns thinking content as typed blocks inside the
content array rather than as a top-level reasoning_content field:
[{"type": "thinking", "thinking": "..."}, {"type": "output", ...}]
_extract_reasoning only handled content as a plain string, so the
thinking text was silently dropped. On the next turn the session was
replayed without the thinking block, causing:
HTTP 400: The content[].thinking in the thinking mode must be
passed back to the API.
Fix: when content is a list and no structured reasoning field was
found, scan for items with type=='thinking' and accumulate their
'thinking' (or 'text') value into reasoning_parts. Structured fields
(reasoning, reasoning_content, reasoning_details) still take priority
so existing provider behaviour is unchanged.

skills/media/youtube-content/scripts/fetch_transcript.py and
optional-skills/productivity/memento-flashcards/scripts/youtube_quiz.py
both import youtube-transcript-api at runtime, but the package was not
listed in pyproject.toml. A fresh `uv sync` therefore omits it, and
both skills fail on first invocation with:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'youtube_transcript_api'
Add a new [youtube] optional-dependency group with
youtube-transcript-api>=1.2.0 (the v1.x API surface the scripts already
use) and include it in [all] so standard installs pick it up.

163/NetEase IMAP servers reject every UID SEARCH/FETCH with `BYE Unsafe
Login` unless the client first identifies itself via the RFC 2971 ID
command after LOGIN. Without this, the email gateway logs in OK but
then fails on the very first poll and the connection is torn down.
Send the ID payload best-effort after both `imap.login()` sites
(`EmailAdapter.connect` and `_fetch_new_messages`). Failures are
swallowed at debug level so non-supporting IMAP servers (Gmail,
Outlook, Fastmail, Yahoo, etc.) keep working unchanged.
Closes#22271
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.
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift
Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level
user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries:
hermes_cli/commands.py COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands)
hermes_cli/auth.py PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers)

python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args)
reference/
- cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section,
add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand
lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/
list-archived).
- slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries +
correct the cross-platform Notes line.
- tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional
'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated),
add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use
the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix.
- toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser'
row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale
'38 tools' count for hermes-cli.
- profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document
fish completion.
- environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the
one with the correct gmi-serving.com default).
- faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just
via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list.
getting-started/
- installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer
fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback.
- installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls
back to .[termux].
- nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid
'nix flake update --flake' invocation.
- updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist —
point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key
'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup').
user-guide/
- configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer
is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults
enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50).
- configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't
exist — hermes model is interactive only.
- tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values
kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none).
- security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env,
not config.yaml.
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the
OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway.
user-guide/features/
- computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken
./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md.
- fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not
model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal.
- api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env,
not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML.
- web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl
modes are exposed through web_extract.
- kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'.
- plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count.
- honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document
that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho;
reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output.
- memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented.
Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went
from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing).
* docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs
Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch:
Round 2 manual fixes:
- quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY;
voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...'
doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo
dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e
".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it.
- cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as
'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default);
actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty
(default) or pin a cheap model'.
- built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row
that was missing from the table.
Regenerated skill catalogs:
- ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill
pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md,
optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely
missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled),
optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills:
3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model,
merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes,
creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers,
productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search,
apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from
the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed
metadata).
Validation:
- 'npm run build' succeeded.
- Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation
shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern).
No regressions on any en/ page.
`gateway/platforms/__init__.py` eagerly imported `QQAdapter` and
`YuanbaoAdapter` at package-init time, which transitively pulled in
qqbot's chunked-upload + keyboards + onboard machinery and yuanbao's
websocket stack. About 84 ms wall and 23 MB RSS on every fresh process
that touched anything under `gateway.platforms` — including `hermes
chat` (via run_agent → cli's plugin discovery transitive import).
Nothing in the codebase actually consumes these symbols from the
package root; every real call site uses the long-form path
(`from gateway.platforms.qqbot import QQAdapter`,
`from gateway.platforms.yuanbao import YuanbaoAdapter` in gateway/run.py).
The eager re-export was only there for convenience.
Replace with a PEP 562 module-level `__getattr__` that lazily imports
on first attribute access. Public API stays identical:
`from gateway.platforms import QQAdapter` keeps working but only
pays the import cost when the symbol is actually touched. `__dir__`
preserves help() / autocomplete behavior.
Measured impact (7-run medians, 9950X3D):
import gateway.platforms 127 → 43 ms (-66%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import gateway.platforms.base 127 → 44 ms (-65%)
50 → 27 MB (-46%)
import cli (full chat path) 745 → 710 ms ( -5%)
96 → 90 MB ( -6%)
hermes chat -q (cold) -5 MB
The per-import win is biggest because qqbot/yuanbao deps don't overlap
with anything on the gateway-platforms path — full `import cli`
already loads aiohttp/websockets transitively from other places, so
the marginal CLI win is smaller than the isolated import benchmark.
The `gateway.platforms.base` win is what matters most for long-lived
gateway processes: every gateway boot saves 23 MB resident.
All 144 qqbot tests pass; broader gateway suite (5132 tests) passes
modulo 4 pre-existing flakes also failing on main without this change.
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.
The xAI /v1/images/generations endpoint expects resolution as a
literal string ('1k' or '2k'), not the numeric value ('1024').
- Change _XAI_RESOLUTIONS from a dict mapping to a validation set
- Use the resolution key directly instead of the mapped value
- Fall back to DEFAULT_RESOLUTION on invalid config values
Fixes 422 Unprocessable Entity errors when resolution was sent.
`hermes doctor` ran every connectivity probe sequentially and on a typical
developer laptop spent ~2s of its ~5s wall time inside boto3's EC2
instance-metadata-service lookup (169.254.169.254) — the default
AWS credential chain probes IMDS even when AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK
or AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID is the only legitimate source.
Refactor the API Connectivity section so every probe (OpenRouter,
Anthropic, ~16 static API-key providers + dynamic profiles, AWS
Bedrock) is a pure function returning a structured result, then
fan them out through a ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=8). Output
order, glyphs, colours, padding, and issue strings stay byte-for-byte
identical to the sequential implementation; results are gathered
in submission order.
Also disable IMDS for the parallel block by setting
AWS_EC2_METADATA_DISABLED=true on the parent thread before submitting
work (and restoring its prior value in a finally block). Bedrock's
real-API call gets a Config(connect_timeout=5, read_timeout=10,
retries={max_attempts:1}) so a transient regional failure can't pad
the run by 30+ seconds.
Measured impact (5-run medians, 9950X3D):
hermes doctor: 5.07 → 2.16 s (-57%)
Doctor tests: 48 passed (test_doctor.py + test_doctor_command_install.py).
The remaining ~2s of wall is import overhead + a couple of one-off
network calls outside the API Connectivity section (`fetch_models_dev`
provider catalog refresh, Nous OAuth refresh in `Auth Providers`).
Those are next-tier targets, not part of this change.
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.
The model regularly writes session-outcome facts to MEMORY.md despite
the existing 'Do NOT save task progress' line — entries like
'Submitted PR #22577 for the kanban dedup fix' or 'Fixed bug X in
file Y'. These are stale within days, pollute the system prompt,
and crowd out durable user preferences (the issue #22563 reporter
saw 9 sections of bug-fix notes injected on a brand-new task).
Add explicit examples of what NOT to save (PR numbers, issue
numbers, commit SHAs, 'fixed/submitted/Phase N done', file counts)
plus the 7-day-staleness heuristic so the model has a concrete
calibration target rather than guessing what counts as 'task progress'.
Closes#22563 (the prompt-side, low-risk portion). The bigger
relevance-based-injection / vector-retrieval feature requested in
#22563 is tracked under #2184 (Richer local memory). Per skill rule
on prompt caching, dynamic memory injection breaks the frozen-snapshot
invariant and needs a separate design call.
_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.
Two unrelated but co-located fixes to scripts/run_tests.sh:
1. pytest-split bootstrap (#22401): the script tried '$PYTHON -m pip
install pytest-split' on first run, but uv-created venvs ship without
pip. Result: 'No module named pip' before any test ran. Add a uv
fallback (uv pip install --python $PYTHON), keep pip as a secondary
path, and emit a clear error pointing at 'uv pip install -e ".[dev]"'
when neither is available. Also declare pytest-split in
pyproject.toml dev extra so a normal '.[dev]' install provisions it.
2. HERMES_CRON_SESSION leak (#22400): the hermetic env scrub already
unsets HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION and HERMES_INTERACTIVE but missed the
sibling HERMES_CRON_SESSION. When run_tests.sh is invoked from a
Hermes cron job, that variable leaks into pytest, flipping
tools/approval.py into cron-deny mode and breaking
tests/acp/test_approval_isolation.py and friends.
Closes#22400.
Closes#22401.
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.
Plugin discovery imports every bundled platform plugin at model_tools
import time. The google_chat adapter unconditionally pulled in
google.cloud.pubsub_v1, googleapiclient, grpc, httplib2, and friends at
module top — about 33 MB RSS and 110 ms wall on every CLI invocation,
even ones that never construct a gateway adapter.
Wrap the heavy imports in _load_google_modules(): an idempotent loader
that rebinds the module-level globals (pubsub_v1, service_account,
HttpError, MediaFileUpload, …) on first call and is invoked from
GoogleChatAdapter.__init__, connect(), and check_google_chat_requirements().
The HttpError = Exception placeholder is preserved for the brief window
before the loader runs, so 'except HttpError as exc:' clauses stay
correct (Python looks up the name at try/except evaluation time, not
at function definition time).
Measured impact on a 9950X3D, 7-run medians:
import cli: 895 → 787 ms (-108 ms / -12%)
133 → 110 MB ( -23 MB / -17%)
import model_tools: 491 → 400 ms ( -91 ms / -19%)
95 → 66 MB ( -29 MB / -31%)
google_chat alone: 244 → 132 ms (-112 ms / -46%)
83 → 50 MB ( -33 MB / -40%)
hermes chat -q (cold): 177 → 145 MB ( -32 MB / -18%)
Real-world win lands on every path that imports cli.py: hermes chat,
hermes gateway, cron jobs, batch runs, subagents. Long-lived gateway
processes save ~30 MB resident.
All 157 google_chat tests pass; full gateway suite (5050 tests) green.
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.
