Follow-up to the salvaged #52552 and #53083 commits:
- Rework the Matrix PLATFORM_HINTS entry around what the adapter actually
emits: headings, numbered lists, blockquotes, strikethrough-free markdown
all render (the adapter converts them to sanctioned HTML). Keep the
genuinely valuable guidance: no Markdown tables (Element X / Beeper /
mobile clients don't render HTML tables — cells collapse into one line),
no spoilers/checkboxes/~~strikethrough~~ (not converted by
python-markdown), prefer descriptive link text.
- Regression test: hint must steer models away from tables.
- Fix test_long_response_split_preserves_thread_context to derive its
payload size from the adapter's configurable limit instead of assuming
the old hardcoded 4000.
- Document matrix.max_message_length in the Matrix docs page.
- Contributor mapping for RKelln.
Slow language servers (tsserver on large projects especially) publish
diagnostics long after an edit. The client's wait/report path had three
holes that together surfaced the PREVIOUS edit's errors as if they were
current ("ghost diagnostics"), sending the agent chasing errors it had
already fixed:
1. open_file only cleared the diagnostic stores on first open — on the
didChange path (every subsequent edit) stale push/pull entries
survived.
2. wait_for_diagnostics' predicates were satisfiable by that leftover
state (`path in _published`, `path in _pull_diagnostics`), so the
"wait" often returned instantly with old data.
3. diagnostics_for merged the stale push store unconditionally, so even
a fresh clean pull got the old error merged back in.
Fix: anchor freshness on a per-file didChange timestamp.
- Pull results record their request send-time and are dropped when a
didChange raced past them; the pull store is invalidated on every
change, not just first open.
- wait_for_diagnostics now returns bool (fresh data vs timeout), only
counts pushes published at/after the change (and version >= ours when
the server echoes versions), and accepts an explicit timeout — the
user's lsp.wait_timeout config now actually controls the inner wait
budget instead of only the outer thread-join.
- diagnostics_for(fresh_only=True) excludes stores that predate the
latest change; all manager report paths use it.
- On timeout the manager returns [] ("no data") instead of stale
state, logs a WARNING via eventlog, and does NOT mark the server
broken — slow is not dead.
- seed-on-first-push no longer marks the file published, so the TS
seed push can't satisfy a waiter.
Tests: new "stale" and "slow_push" mock-server scripts model the slow
tsserver, plus client- and service-level regression tests
(tests/agent/lsp/test_stale_diagnostics.py).
The DingTalk docs offer gateway.platforms.dingtalk.extra.allowed_users
as the config.yaml alternative to DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS. The adapter
honors it (_load_allowed_users reads PlatformConfig.extra), but gateway
authorization (_is_user_authorized in gateway/authz_mixin.py) only
consults the env var, and load_gateway_config() bridged the allowlist
to the env var only from a top-level dingtalk: block. A nested-only
allowlist therefore passed the adapter and was then denied at the
gateway - listed users fell through to pairing/default-deny in DMs.
Extend the DingTalk YAML->env bridge to fall back to the merged nested
platform config (gateway.platforms / platforms), mirroring the existing
platforms.discord.extra.allow_from precedent. Precedence is unchanged:
an explicit DINGTALK_ALLOWED_USERS env var still wins, then the
top-level dingtalk: block, then the nested extra.
Also correct the docs' claim that the two allowlists are "merged" when
both are set - that behavior never existed (the doc line came from a
docs-only sweep); the effective result is the intersection of the two
gates, so the docs now recommend configuring one or the other.
Repro (before): config.yaml containing only the nested allowlist ->
adapter._is_user_allowed("user-id-1") is True but
runner._is_user_authorized(...) is False. After: both True; unlisted
users are still denied.
The salvaged #55853 commit added anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 blocks to the
manifest, but main already carried them from #56617 — leaving duplicate
entries the manifest-sync test rejects. Rebuilt via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Add claude-sonnet-5 to the static curated lists for Anthropic, OpenRouter,
Nous Portal, Copilot, GMI, OpenCode Zen, and AWS Bedrock so the model
appears in hermes model / /model picker discovery.

* feat(delegation): live-viewable subagent transcripts for delegate_task
Each child now streams an append-only, human-readable log to
<hermes_home>/cache/delegation/live/<delegation_id>/task-<n>.log while it
runs, and the dispatch return includes the paths so the caller can tail
them immediately instead of waiting blind for the consolidated summary.
- New tools/delegation_live_log.py: LiveTranscriptWriter (per-event append
+ flush, one-line rendering with truncation, never raises into the agent
loop), wrap_progress_callback (tees the child's existing
tool_progress_callback events into the log, preserves the _flush
contract), dispatch-time creation with pre-headered files so tail -f
attaches immediately, manifest.json (goals/task count/per-task status),
and 7-day retention pruning on new dispatches.
- delegate_task: wraps each child's progress callback with the writer;
sync results and background dispatch responses gain live_transcripts
(+ hint field on dispatch); per-task result entries carry
live_transcript; transcripts finalized with exit-reason markers.
- async_delegation: dispatch_async_delegation_batch accepts an optional
delegation_id so the live/ dir name matches the returned handle; the
completion event carries live_transcripts.
- process_registry: consolidated batch-completion block references each
task's live transcript path.
- Tool schema description documents the live_transcripts return surface;
docs gain a 'Live Transcripts' section with a tail -f example.
Placement under cache/delegation means the logs are mounted read-only
into remote terminal backends for free. Side-channel only: zero changes
to message content, so prompt caching is unaffected. Transcript-OUT only
— no overlap with the subagent control surfaces of PR #66046.
* fix(delegation): label the kickoff transcript line as user — it is the child's one user message
A final response generated but not confirmed-delivered was the one
artifact the gateway could lose without a trace: crash or planned
restart between finalize and platform ACK dropped it silently, and the
resume path re-ran the whole turn at full cost (#58818 P1, #41696,
#63695's gateway half).
gateway/delivery_ledger.py records each outbound final response in
state.db (same conventions as the async-delegation ledger: WAL, owner
pid + process-start-time liveness, bounded retention):
pending -> attempting -> delivered | failed
startup sweep on dead-owner rows -> redeliver | abandoned
Contract (the lessons from the closed delivery-outbox attempt #61790):
- obligation recorded BEFORE the first send attempt; cleared only on
SendResult.success (destination acceptance, #51184)
- ambiguity is labeled, never silently retried: rows that were mid-send
when the process died redeliver with a visible '♻️ Recovered reply —
may be a duplicate' prefix (honest at-least-once)
- stable ids from session_key + inbound message id + content, so
distinct threads/topics can never collide
- poison rows bounded: 3 attempts / 24h freshness -> abandoned; claim
atomically re-stamps ownership so racing sweeps can't double-claim
- redelivery clears resume_pending for the session so the resume path
never re-runs a turn whose answer the ledger already holds
- best-effort everywhere: ledger failure can never block or delay a send
- slash-command/ephemeral/empty responses are not recorded; cron and
proactive delivery stay on DeliveryRouter (separate subsystem)
Config: gateway.delivery_ledger (default on; no version bump needed).
Validation: 30 ledger+producer tests; 352 blast-radius gateway tests
green; cross-process E2E (record in process A, kill it mid-send, claim
+ marker + redeliver in a fresh process B against the same state.db).
Add an end-to-end developer guide for extending the native Hermes Desktop
app introduced in #60638: the HermesPlugin contract, PluginContext, every
contribution area (panes, routes, sidebar nav, status/title bar, palette,
keybinds, themes, composer, mount-scoped Contribute), the host API, the
React Query + nanostores data layer, the UI kit + theme variables, the
scoped ctx.rest/ctx.socket backend (plugin_api.py under /api/plugins/<id>)
and its separate enable gate, Settings/defaultEnabled/storage, bundled
plugins, the security model, pitfalls, and a full reference.
- Register the page in the sidebar under Extending -> Plugins.
- Disambiguate from the unrelated web-dashboard plugin SDK from both
directions, and add a map-table row + a desktop user-guide pointer.
- Fill the gaps in the agent-facing hermes-desktop-plugins skill
(ctx.rest/socket + backend, React Query, defaultEnabled, Contribute)
and point it at the new reference so agents know the SDK when writing
addons.
Fixes the two review defects that kept PR #29923 open, plus docs:
- gateway: exclude --once from the session-store write-through. The
once-override lived only in memory before, but the write-through
persisted it, so a gateway restart before the finally-restore
rehydrated a supposedly one-turn model permanently.
- TUI: skip _sync_agent_model_with_config while a one-turn restore is
pending. The once-model is deliberately not pinned as a session
model_override, so the config sync saw a model mismatch and clobbered
the once-override back to the config model before the turn ran.
- tests: real _handle_model_command drive asserting --once never
touches set_model_override while --session still does; restore-pop
idempotency.
- docs: /model --once in configuring-models.md with an honest
prompt-cache cost note (one-shot switch breaks the cached prefix
twice; wins for short sessions and cheap-to-expensive escalation).
Route recovered messages through the live Discord ingress policy, preserve dedup and completion invariants, bound and retain the recovery ledger, and expose the opt-in config with docs and backup coverage.
Builds on the salvaged typing_status_text plumbing (PR #62007): instead
of a static 'is thinking...', Slack's assistant status line now updates
live as the agent works — 'is running pytest tests/…', 'is reading
docs/api.md…' — and reverts to the static text between tool calls.
Mechanics:
- agent/display.py: build_status_phrase() derives a <=49-char present-
tense phrase from the existing _TOOL_VERBS table (+ 'is using <name>'
for plugin/MCP tools; None for _thinking).
- base adapter: supports_status_text capability flag + set_status_text()
per-chat store, cleared when the typing loop winds down.
- Slack adapter: send_typing() renders the live phrase when set, falling
back to typing_status_text then 'is thinking...'.
- gateway/run.py: progress_callback stashes the phrase on tool.started
and clears on tool.completed. Rendering rides the existing
_keep_typing refresh cadence — zero additional Slack API calls, no
rate-limit exposure. Works with tool_progress: off (Slack default);
the callback is now armed whenever the adapter supports status text.
- display.live_status config (full|verb|off, default full): 'verb' hides
argument previews for shared/customer-facing channels.
Also fixes a latent crash in the cherry-picked from_dict: malformed
non-dict 'extra' sections broke typing_status_text resolution (uses the
already-coerced extra dict).
Design notes: status text is a side-effect display channel only — never
enters the transcript, no prompt-cache impact. Lifecycle guarantees from
the stuck-status fix family are preserved (per-thread tracking,
clear-on-finish via existing stop_typing paths). Related: #45109
(closed; same direction via lifecycle states), #59010/#51363 (native
task cards — complementary, larger scope).
Adds PlatformConfig.typing_status_text for the two platforms that render
text for the working-state line: Slack's assistant.threads.setStatus
status (hardcoded 'is thinking...') and Google Chat's visible marker
message (hardcoded 'Hermes is thinking…'). None keeps each platform's
built-in default; to_dict omits the field when unset so existing configs
serialize unchanged. Plumbing mirrors typing_indicator exactly (typed
field, from_dict extra fallback, shared-key bridge).
Also documents that Slack's status line requires the assistant:write
scope — without it setStatus fails silently and Slack shows its own
generic placeholder, which previously made the behaviour undiagnosable
from config alone.
Replace REST-based Discord liveness probe with local WebSocket/heartbeat
state detection. REST success doesn't prove Gateway event delivery — a
half-closed WebSocket can leave Bot.start() alive while REST returns 200.
Now samples ready/open/ACK state and heartbeat latency; consecutive
unhealthy samples emit one retryable fatal code so GatewayRunner rebuilds
the adapter through the existing reconnect path.
Also fixes three lifecycle gaps in the recovery path:
1. asyncio.wait_for() can remain blocked if adapter cleanup swallows
cancellation — now uses bounded asyncio.wait() with task detachment.
2. Multiplexed secondary-profile adapters had no profile-scoped reconnect
owner — now uses one runner-owned reconnect slot per profile.
3. An in-flight turn could send its final text through the disconnected
adapter after a replacement was registered — now resolves the live
same-profile replacement for unsent final responses only (message IDs
never migrate, edits/deletes stay on the old transport).
Adds an opt-in Linux/systemd event-loop watchdog (gateway.systemd_watchdog_seconds,
default 0) for the failure mode where the whole asyncio loop stops making
progress and no in-process liveness task can run. stdlib-only sd_notify,
Type=notify/WatchdogSec generation, READY/STOPPING lifecycle.

Follow-up to PR #66479 salvage. The three new env vars
(HERMES_LOCAL_STREAM_STALE_TIMEOUT, HERMES_GATEWAY_MAX_STARTS,
HERMES_GATEWAY_START_WINDOW_S) were introduced as bare env-var reads with no
config.yaml surface or documentation — violating the .env-is-for-secrets-only
policy (behavioral settings must live in config.yaml, bridged to env internally).
- config.yaml: add gateway.respawn_storm {max_starts, window_seconds} to
DEFAULT_CONFIG, mirroring the existing restart_loop_guard pattern.
- gateway.py: read config.yaml first, env vars override as escape-hatch.
- environment-variables.md: document all three new env vars, noting the
config.yaml alternative for the gateway ones.
- chat_completion_helpers.py: cross-reference the env-var docs from the
local stale timeout comment.
The reported confusion was an unblocked task 'unpredictably' ending up in
triage. unblock itself only ever routes to ready/todo; a subsequent same-cause
re-block hitting BLOCK_RECURRENCE_LIMIT is what escalates to triage. Document
this deterministic loop-breaker at the human-facing lifecycle level so users
stop reading it as an LLM decision.
- codex-app-server-runtime.md: add a Live display section covering the
stream/reasoning/tool-card bridge and show_commentary gating.
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entries for HaiderSultanArc, jjadeo-oss, juanfradb
(the latter two for forthcoming follow-up salvages of #62396 / #18050).
Community feedback (@LSanapalli on X): the inline task-creation form is
cramped inside a ~280px column with no way to resize; board-level
workspace defaults can't be changed after board creation; and users
believe they must block a task, comment, then unblock just to talk to
a worker.
- Create-task dialog: replace the inline column form with a centered
modal (reuses hermes-kanban-dialog chrome, 36rem wide) with labeled
fields for title, assignee, priority, skills, workspace kind/path,
goal mode, and parent task. Same request shape; Enter/Escape behavior
preserved; submit disabled until a title is present.
- Board settings dialog: new Settings button in the board switcher opens
a modal to edit display name, description, and the board-level default
project directory (default_workdir). PATCH /boards/:slug now accepts
default_workdir (validated absolute existing dir; empty string clears;
omitted leaves unchanged) and returns the recomputed
default_workspace_kind so task-creation defaults follow immediately.
- Comment workflow hint: the task drawer's comment box now explains that
comments land on the thread immediately and reach the worker on its
next run/kanban_show() — no block/unblock dance needed — with a fuller
tooltip for when blocking IS the right tool.
- i18n: new keys optional in the kanban namespace with English fallbacks
in the bundle (established pattern; avoids churning 17 locale files).
- Docs: dashboard section updated for the dialog + Settings button.
* feat(browser): store full snapshots on truncation; make eval denylist opt-in
Two harness fixes motivated by BU_Bench results where fixed-verb + lossy
observation cost Hermes heavily vs code-driven browser agents:
1. Snapshot truncation no longer loses content. When a snapshot exceeds
the 8000-char threshold, the complete accessibility tree is saved to
cache/web (same truncate-and-store pattern as web_extract) and the
truncated view / LLM summary includes the file path plus a ready-made
read_file call. Element refs beyond the cut are recoverable without
re-snapshotting. Stored copies are force-redacted and capped at 2MB;
content-hash filenames dedupe repeated snapshots of the same page.
2. The browser_console(expression=...) sensitive-primitive denylist is
now opt-in via browser.restrict_evaluate (default false). The
names-based denylist blocked legitimate DOM extraction — any selector
or expression containing 'fetch', 'cookie', 'input', etc. — which
crippled the agent's only programmatic page-inspection path. The
SSRF/private-URL egress guards in _browser_eval are independent of
this policy and remain always-on. browser.allow_unsafe_evaluate keeps
its meaning (bypass the denylist) for configs that already set it.
* test: update None-guard test for stored-snapshot pointer in _extract_relevant_content
test_normal_content_returned pinned the exact return value; the summary
now carries a pointer to the stored full snapshot. Assert the summary
passes through and the pointer is present instead.
* feat(browser): align snapshot threshold with web_extract's 15k char budget
SNAPSHOT_SUMMARIZE_THRESHOLD 8000 -> 15000, matching
web_tools.DEFAULT_EXTRACT_CHAR_LIMIT so the snapshot and web_extract
truncate-and-store paths give the model the same per-page budget.
_truncate_snapshot's default max_chars now follows the constant.
Invariant test added; docs (en+zh) and CLI tip updated.
Commentary delivery is on by default; users who find the extra mid-turn
narration noisy can set display.show_commentary: false to restore the
previous behavior (commentary routed to the reasoning channel, visible
only with show_reasoning).
- hermes_cli/config.py: display.show_commentary default true
- agent/agent_init.py: wire config -> agent.show_commentary
- run_agent.py: gate structured commentary extraction on the flag
- agent/codex_runtime.py: gate live-stream commentary callback (falls
back to legacy reasoning-channel routing when off)
- docs + 2 tests (interim path off, live stream fallback)
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entries for davidrobertson and 100yenadmin.
Add a developer-guide page for running the Ink TUI and Electron desktop
app from a git worktree without a full npm install per checkout, via the
htui/hgui shell helpers that share node_modules from a canonical deps
checkout by symlink (falling back to a local npm ci when the lockfile
diverges). Registers it in the sidebar, cross-links from the TUI and git
-worktrees pages, and documents the previously-undocumented
HERMES_DESKTOP_PYTHON / HERMES_DESKTOP_DEV_SERVER env vars the desktop
backend reads.
Replaces moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (recommended) and moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
with moonshotai/kimi-k3 in both curated lists, regenerates the published
model-catalog.json manifest, and updates the docs example manifest (en+zh).
kimi-k3 verified live on both endpoints (Nous Portal /v1/models and
OpenRouter /api/v1/models; 1M context, $3/$15 per Mtok). Family-prefix
matching already covers k3 in moonshot_schema, cache policy, and context
heuristics — no code changes needed there.
hermes update ran TWO separate pre-update backup mechanisms: the
config-gated full zip (updates.pre_update_backup, default off) and an
unconditional quick state snapshot added for #15733 that ignored the
user's setting entirely. On a large state.db (observed: 24 GB) the
'cheap' snapshot silently added ~60s to every update and ate 24 GB of
disk in state-snapshots/.
Now there is ONE mechanism, gated by updates.pre_update_backup with
three modes:
- quick (new default): state snapshot of critical small files (pairing
JSONs, cron jobs, config, auth, per-profile DBs). Files over 1 GiB
are skipped with a warning so a bloated state.db can never stall the
update again.
- full: the quick snapshot plus the HERMES_HOME zip (old 'true'
behavior; --backup forces it for one run).
- off: nothing runs — an explicit opt-out now disables the quick
snapshot too (--no-backup does the same per-run).
Legacy booleans are honored: true -> full, false -> off.
_run_pre_update_backup() now returns the quick-snapshot id so the
post-update cron-jobs restore safety net (#34600) keeps working; the
snapshot moved from the post-fetch site to the pre-mutation site,
which also covers the zip-fallback update path it previously missed.
_clean_reasoning_effort kept its own whitelist that stopped at 'max',
silently dropping 'ultra' from MoA slot configs. Route it through
hermes_constants.parse_reasoning_effort — the same one-source-of-truth
fix the salvaged commit applies to the gateway — so future effort
levels can't drift here either. Docs updated to list ultra.
