feat(gateway): refine Platform._missing_ and platform-connected dispatch
Restricts plugin-name acceptance to bundled plugin scan + registry
(no arbitrary string -> enum-pollution), pulls per-platform connectivity
checks into a _PLATFORM_CONNECTED_CHECKERS lambda map with a clean
_is_platform_connected method, and adds tests covering the checker map,
plugin platform interface, and IRC setup wizard.
This PR groups the TUI fixes that restore macOS Terminal usability and clean up the theme/composer regressions:
- copy transcript selections on macOS drag-release so Terminal.app users can copy while mouse tracking is enabled
- copy composer selections on macOS drag-release; composer selection is internal to TextInput and does not use the global Ink selection bus
- keep IDE Cmd+C forwarding setup macOS-only, and make keybinding conflict checks respect simple when-clause overlap/negation
- force truecolor before chalk initializes (unless NO_COLOR / FORCE_COLOR / HERMES_TUI_TRUECOLOR opt-outs apply) so the default banner keeps its gold/amber/bronze gradient in Terminal.app
- move TUI surfaces onto semantic theme tokens and preserve skin prompt symbols as bare tokens with renderer-owned spacing
- render focused placeholders as dim hint text in TTY mode instead of inverse/selected-looking synthetic cursor text
* feat(tui): pluggable busy-indicator styles (kaomoji/emoji/unicode/ascii)
The status-bar `FaceTicker` rotated through wide-and-variable kaomoji
glyphs (`(｡•́︿•̀｡)`, `( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)`, …) every 2.5s. Real display widths range
from ~5 to ~16 columns, so the rest of the bar (cwd, ctx %, voice,
bg counter) shifted on every cycle. Padding the verb alone (#17116)
helped but didn't address the dominant jitter source — the glyph
itself.
Add four indicator styles, configurable + hot-swappable:
* `kaomoji` (default — preserves the existing vibe; verb is now
pad-stable so the only width churn left is the kaomoji itself).
* `emoji` — single 2-col emoji frame (`⚕ 🌀🤔✨🍵🔮`).
* `unicode` — `unicode-animations` braille spinner (1-col, smooth).
* `ascii` — `| / - \` (1-col, max compat).
Wires:
* `display.tui_status_indicator` in `DEFAULT_CONFIG` (default
`kaomoji`).
* New JSON-RPC `config.set/get indicator` keys, narrow allow-list.
* `applyDisplay` reads the field and patches `UiState.indicatorStyle`,
so the existing `mtime` poll picks up `~/.hermes/config.yaml` edits
within ~5s without a TUI restart.
* `/indicator [style]` slash command (alias `/indicator-style`,
subcommand completion `kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii`). Bare form
shows the current style; setter fires `config.set` and
optimistically `patchUiState({ indicatorStyle })` so the live TUI
swaps immediately, matching the `/skin` UX.
* `CommandDef("indicator", ..., subcommands=...)` so classic CLI
autocomplete + TUI `complete.slash` both surface it.
* `FaceTicker` decouples spinner cadence from verb cadence — the
glyph runs at the spinner's authored interval (or `FACE_TICK_MS`
for kaomoji), the verb stays on the original 2.5s cycle, and both
re-arm cleanly when style changes.
Tests:
* `normalizeIndicatorStyle` rejects unknown / non-string input.
* `applyDisplay → tui_status_indicator` covers fan-out + fallback.
* `/indicator <style>` hot-swaps `UiState.indicatorStyle` after a
successful `config.set`.
* `/indicator sparkle` rejects with the usage hint and never hits
the gateway.
* Slash-parity matrix gets `'/indicator'` → `config.get`.
Validation:
cd ui-tui && npm run type-check — clean; npm test --run — 398/398.
scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py
tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py — 220/220.
* chore(tui): drop /indicator-style alias to declutter autocomplete
* fix(tui): drop verb-width pad — /indicator handles glyph jitter directly
* fix(tui): unicode indicator style hides the verb (cleanest option)
* refactor(tui): single source of truth for INDICATOR_STYLES; cleaner error format
Round 1 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- Exported `INDICATOR_STYLES` const tuple from `interfaces.ts`;
`IndicatorStyle` union type is derived from it. `useConfigSync`
builds its validation Set from the tuple, and `session.ts` uses it
for both the usage hint and the runtime allow-list — adding/removing
a style now touches one line.
- Backend `config.set indicator` error message: switched
`sorted(allowed)` list repr to `pick one of ascii|emoji|kaomoji|unicode`
(matches the TUI usage hint), and reports the normalized `raw`
instead of the original `value`. Backend allowed tuple now has a
comment pointing back at `INDICATOR_STYLES` so the two stay aligned.
Note: kept the verb portion unpadded per design intent — fixed-width
padding was the exact UX the `/indicator` command was added to remove.
Stable width comes from the glyph; verbs cycling is part of the kawaii
aesthetic. Reply on the verb thread will explain.
* fix(tui): drop type collapse + gate verb timer + DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE
Round 2 Copilot review on PR #17150:
- `tui_status_indicator?: 'ascii' | ... | string` collapses to `string`
in TS — consumers got no narrowing. Documented as plain `string` with
a comment about runtime validation via `normalizeIndicatorStyle`.
- `FaceTicker` always started a 2.5s verb interval, even for the
`unicode` style which hides the verb entirely. Now gated on
`showVerb` from `renderIndicator` — `unicode` stays calm.
Pre-emptive self-review (avoid round 3):
- Three call sites duplicated the literal `'kaomoji'` default
(uiStore, normalizeIndicatorStyle, slash command). Added
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` to interfaces.ts and threaded it through
so changing the default touches one line.
* fix(tui-gateway): normalize config.get indicator output to match TUI render
Round 4 Copilot review on PR #17150: `config.get` for `indicator`
returned the raw `display.tui_status_indicator` value without
validation, so a hand-edited config.yaml with stray casing or an
unknown style would leave `/indicator` printing one thing while
the TUI rendered the kaomoji default (frontend's
`normalizeIndicatorStyle` does this normalization on receive).
Lifted the allow-list to module scope as `_INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`_INDICATOR_DEFAULT`, reused by both `config.set` and `config.get`.
Comment notes the alignment with `INDICATOR_STYLES` /
`DEFAULT_INDICATOR_STYLE` in interfaces.ts so adding/removing a
style is a one-line change on each end.
Tests cover: known value verbatim, casing/whitespace normalize,
unknown→default, unset→default.
* fix(tui-gateway): preserve falsy-input diagnostics in config.set indicator error
Round 5 Copilot review on PR #17150: `raw = str(value or "").strip().lower()`
collapsed any falsy non-string (`0`, `False`, `[]`) to empty string,
so the error message read `unknown indicator: ` with nothing after —
losing the original input.
Switched to `("" if value is None else str(value)).strip().lower()`
so only `None` (the genuine 'no value' case) becomes blank. Used
`{raw!r}` in the error so the diagnostic is unambiguous (`'0'` vs `0`).
Tests:
- known-value happy path (`'EMOJI'` → `'emoji'`)
- falsy non-string inputs (`0` / `False` / `[]`) surface meaningfully
- `None` keeps the blank-repr error
* fix(tui): honor display.busy_input_mode in TUI v2
The TUI v2 frontend hard-coded `composerActions.enqueue(full)` whenever
`ui.busy` was true. The classic CLI and gateway adapters honor the
`display.busy_input_mode` config key (`interrupt` | `queue` | `steer`),
but Ink ignored it — sending a message during a long-running turn always
landed in the queue regardless of config. The config default is already
`interrupt` (hermes_cli/config.py), so users who explicitly opted into
that experience were silently stuck on the legacy queue path.
This wires the value through the existing config-sync surface:
* `applyDisplay` now reads `display.busy_input_mode`, defaults to
`interrupt` (matching `_load_busy_input_mode` in tui_gateway), and
drops it into a new `UiState.busyInputMode` field.
* `dispatchSubmission` and the queue-edit fall-through call a shared
`handleBusyInput` helper that branches on the mode:
* `queue` — legacy behavior, append to the queue.
* `steer` — call `session.steer`; on rejection, fall back to
queue with a sys note.
* `interrupt` — `turnController.interruptTurn(...)` then `send()`,
so the new prompt actually moves.
* Mtime polling in `useConfigSync` already re-applies `config.full`, so
flipping `display.busy_input_mode` in `~/.hermes/config.yaml` takes
effect on the next 5s tick without restarting the TUI.
Tests:
* `applyDisplay → busy_input_mode` covers normalization + UiState fan-out.
* `normalizeBusyInputMode` mirrors the Python side's allow-list.
Validation:
* `npm run type-check` (in `ui-tui/`) — clean.
* `npm test --run` (in `ui-tui/`) — 394/394.
* review(copilot): narrow busy_input_mode type, preserve queue order on steer fallback
* review(copilot): clarify handleBusyInput comment (option, not return value)
* fix(tui): default busy_input_mode to queue in TUI (CLI keeps interrupt)
In a full-screen TUI users typically author the next prompt while the
agent is still streaming, so an unintended interrupt loses in-flight
typing. TUI fallback now defaults to `queue`; CLI / messaging
adapters keep `interrupt` as the framework default.
Override per-config via `display.busy_input_mode: interrupt` (or
`steer`) — the normalize/wire path is unchanged, only the missing-
value branch differs from the Python default.
uiStore initial value also flipped to `queue` so first-frame render
before `config.full` lands matches the eventual normalized value.
* feat(tui): auto copy-on-select for transcript text
Drag in the transcript already highlighted but you had to press Cmd+C to
land it on the clipboard, and the highlight cleared on copy — most users
never realised selection existed. Now drag-release fires copySelectionNoClear
so the text is on the clipboard immediately while the highlight stays put,
matching iTerm2's "Copy to pasteboard on selection" default. Esc clears.
Behaviour:
- Single click in the input still positions the cursor (TextInput onClick).
- Single click in the transcript still does nothing destructive.
- Double / triple click select word / line, then drag extends.
- /copyselect [on|off|toggle] (alias /cos) flips the setting at runtime,
HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_COPY_ON_SELECT=1 disables at startup, persists via
display.tui_copy_on_select in config.yaml.
Help overlay now lists drag-select, multi-click, and click-to-position
so the gestures are discoverable.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): support prompt text selection gestures
Add mouse drag selection and Shift+Arrow/Home/End extension inside the TUI composer so prompt text behaves like a normal editable field while keeping click-to-position and right-click paste intact.
Made-with: Cursor
* Revert "feat(tui): auto copy-on-select for transcript text"
This reverts commit 6701288fe0.
* fix(tui): allow composer selection from prompt whitespace
Give the composer a one-cell mouse capture pad before the editable text. The prompt glyph/gutter still does not become selectable, but dragging from the edge now anchors at input offset 0 so users do not need to hit the first character precisely.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): clear selections from blank composer space
Clicking blank space in the transcript or composer now clears active TUI/input selections like a normal text surface. TextInput clicks stop bubbling so cursor placement and selection gestures keep their local behavior.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): delegate prompt gutter drags to composer text
The prompt gutter is now an input gesture region, not selectable content. Dragging from the whitespace or prompt area anchors the composer selection at offset 0, while selection highlight/copy remains limited to actual input text.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): move composer cursor to end on selection clear
External clear actions now collapse the composer selection to the end of the input, matching normal text-field behavior after dismissing a selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): capture composer padding before prompt
Add an explicit mouse capture cell over the left padding before the prompt glyph. Drags starting there now delegate to the composer input at offset 0 instead of starting terminal-level selection over the prompt chrome.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): avoid npm install on lockfile mtime churn
Compare package-lock.json against npm's hidden node_modules lock by content instead of mtimes. Git checkouts and npm lock rewrites can make the root lockfile newer even when installed dependencies already match, causing hermes --tui to print Installing TUI dependencies on every launch.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): include prompt leading cell in gesture region
Use the prompt box's real layout region to cover the leading whitespace cell before the glyph. The cell now participates in mouse hit testing and delegates to composer selection instead of starting terminal-level selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): widen prompt-side gesture capture band
Capture a wider left-side band around the composer prompt row so drags starting in terminal gutter/padding cells are consumed and delegated to input selection, instead of triggering terminal-level selection chrome.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): make pre-prompt spacer non-selectable content
Replace the sticky-prompt fallback `Text(' ')` with an empty spacer box so the visual gap remains but no literal space character is rendered/copyable before the composer prompt.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): capture pre-prompt spacer without shifting prompt layout
Revert the widened negative-margin prompt capture band and instead capture drags on the dedicated spacer row above the prompt. This keeps prompt/text alignment stable while still delegating whitespace-start drags to composer selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): align prompt with status bar and capture full input row
Drop the leading prompt column from 3 to 2 so the input first character lines up with the status bar text. Wrap the prompt+input row in a single mouse-capture box and stop event propagation from TextInput's own handlers so any drag in that row delegates to composer selection without leaking to terminal-level selection.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): anchor hardware cursor during composer selection
When a composer selection covers a row exactly the column width, the rendered text fills the row and the terminal auto-wraps the hardware cursor to col 0 of the next row, leaving a ghost block beneath the prompt. Park the cursor at the start of the input box during selection so it can't escape the input region.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): hide hardware cursor during composer selection
Stop fighting auto-wrap by hiding the hardware cursor outright while the
composer has an active selection. This prevents both the ghost block under
the prompt (cursor wrapping past the last cell) and the parked-cursor block
on the first selected character. The cursor restores as soon as the
selection clears or focus changes.
Made-with: Cursor
* chore(tui): /clean — drop dead capture-pad path, dedupe gutter handlers
- TextInput: remove unused leftCaptureColumns prop and capture-pad math, drop
unused mouseApi.startAt, fold mouse offset into a single offsetAt helper,
share a MouseEventLite type across the four handlers.
- appLayout: hoist a GutterMouseEvent type and an endInputDrag callback so the
spacer/prompt/input rows share one shape.
- _tui_need_npm_install: lift the runtime-only key set to a module constant,
collapse nested isinstance checks, and document the mtime fallback.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): address copilot review on PR #16732
- Split InputSelection.clear() into clear() (cursor-preserving) and
collapseToEnd() (clear + jump to end). Cmd+C copy paths keep using
clear() so the cursor stays put; the blank-area click in useMainApp
switches to collapseToEnd() to match the requested UX.
- Spacer-row drags now force row=0 when forwarding into the input,
since the spacer's vertical origin doesn't align with the input box
and Ink mouse-capture keeps dispatching motion to the original
target. Prompt+input row drag keeps localRow because origins match.
Made-with: Cursor
* fix(tui): give TextInput Box an explicit width
After the /clean pass dropped the unused capture-pad math, the wrapping
Box also lost its explicit width and started sizing to its rendered
content. Clicks past the last character missed TextInput and fell
through to the parent prompt-row Box, which collapsed the cursor to
offset 0. Pin the Box back to `columns` so the input owns its full
column span regardless of value length.
Made-with: Cursor
* feat(tui): double-click select-all + hide cursor on terminal blur
- Track click time/offset in TextInput so a quick second click on the
same offset triggers select-all. Ink's screen-level multi-click is
bypassed once our onMouseDown captures, so the gesture has to be
detected locally.
- Extend the cursor-hide effect to also fire when the terminal loses
focus, so the hollow-rect ghost most terminals draw at the parked
cursor position disappears too.
Made-with: Cursor
* chore(tui): /clean — extract isMultiClickAt helper
Pull the click-recurrence math out of TextInput's onMouseDown into a
small isMultiClickAt(offset) helper so the handler reads as the gesture
list it actually is (multi-click → select-all, otherwise start).
Drop the redundant length>0 guard now that selectAll() already noops on
an empty value.
Made-with: Cursor
* docs(tui): explain _tui_need_npm_install content-vs-mtime comparison
Expand the docstring so future readers understand why we parse the
lockfiles instead of comparing mtimes, what the optional/peer skip
covers, how stale hidden-lock entries are handled, and when we fall
back to mtime.
Today there's no way to remove a queued message — ↑ loads it for edit,
ctrl-K dispatches the head, but a draft you no longer want stays put
forever. ctrl-C just clears the composer and exits edit mode without
touching the queue.
Two new bindings, both gated on queueEditIdx !== null so they're
inert when the user isn't pointing at a queue item:
- ctrl-X — delete the queue item being edited, clear composer, exit
edit mode. "cut" matches the mental model and doesn't collide with
any existing binding.
- esc — cancel the edit (composer clears, item stays in queue).
Mirrors ctrl-C's existing behavior so muscle memory has two paths.
Header line now reads `queued (3) · editing 2 · ⌃X delete · esc cancel`
when in edit mode, so the affordance is discoverable without /help.
The /help hotkey table also gets a Ctrl+X entry.
ctrl-C is intentionally unchanged: it should never destroy queued
content. Cancel is non-destructive (esc / ctrl-C); only ctrl-X
removes the item.
Follow-up on #16020 salvage. Three corrections:
1. Truth signal for /copy
Before: success was 'OSC 52 sequence was emitted to stdout'. That's
false on local Linux inside tmux (emitSequence=false), so /copy kept
printing 'clipboard copy failed' to users whose xclip/wl-copy had
already succeeded fire-and-forget.
Fix: setClipboard() now returns { sequence, success } where success =
native-fired OR tmux-buffer-loaded OR osc52-emitted. copyNative()
returns a boolean telling setClipboard whether a native attempt was
made. /copy only shows 'failed' when literally no path was taken.
2. Dashboard keybinding
Before: Ctrl+C for copy on non-Mac (Ctrl+Shift+C for paste).
That swallows SIGINT when a stale selection is present and breaks
the xterm/gnome-terminal/konsole/Windows-Terminal convention where
Ctrl+C in a terminal emulator is always SIGINT. The real bug was
that clipboard writes lost user-gesture through OSC-52 round-trips,
which the direct writeText already fixes.
Fix: revert copyModifier to Ctrl+Shift+C on non-Mac. Direct
writeText in the keydown handler preserves user gesture. term.write
Escape replaced with term.clearSelection() (works without relying
on TUI input mode).
3. Error toast text
Before: 'see HERMES_TUI_DEBUG_CLIPBOARD' — tells users how to
debug but not how to fix.
Fix: point users at HERMES_TUI_FORCE_OSC52=1 first (the actual
escape hatch), mention the debug var second.
The Ctrl+G handler was toggling the alt-screen by hand
(`\x1b[?1049l` ... `\x1b[?1049h`) without releasing stdin or kitty
keyboard mode, so the launched editor would lose keystrokes (Ink kept
swallowing them) and editors that don't speak CSI-u (e.g. nano) would
print "Unknown sequence" for every Ctrl-key.
Switch to `withInkSuspended` from @hermes/ink, the same helper
`/setup` already uses. It pauses Ink, removes stdin listeners, drops
raw mode, disables kitty/modifyOtherKeys + mouse + focus reporting,
runs the editor, then restores everything with a full repaint.
On Windows WSL2, ConPTY implicitly enables mouse event injection when
the alternate screen buffer (DEC 1049) is entered, causing raw escape
sequences to appear in the transcript as ghost characters.
Fix (two parts):
1. ConPTY fix: send DISABLE_MOUSE_TRACKING immediately after entering
alt screen when mouse tracking is off (AlternateScreen.tsx)
2. Runtime toggle: add /mouse [on|off|toggle] slash command with config
persistence (display.tui_mouse) so users can manage this at runtime
The env var HERMES_TUI_DISABLE_MOUSE continues to work as the initial
default, but can now be overridden via /mouse and persisted to config.
Closes: upstream ConPTY mouse injection issue
Credits: OutThisLife / PR #13716 for the toggle concept
The TUI had drifted from the CLI's voice model in two ways:
- /voice on was lighting up the microphone immediately and Ctrl+B was
interpreted as a mode toggle. The CLI separates the two: /voice on
just flips the umbrella bit, recording only starts once the user
presses Ctrl+B, which also sets _voice_continuous so the VAD loop
auto-restarts until the user presses Ctrl+B again or three silent
cycles pass.
- /voice tts was missing entirely, so users couldn't turn agent reply
speech on/off from inside the TUI.
This commit brings the TUI to parity.
Python
- hermes_cli/voice.py: continuous-mode API (start_continuous,
stop_continuous, is_continuous_active) layered on the existing PTT
wrappers. The silence callback transcribes, fires on_transcript,
tracks consecutive no-speech cycles, and auto-restarts — mirroring
cli.py:_voice_stop_and_transcribe + _restart_recording.
- tui_gateway/server.py:
- voice.toggle now supports on / off / tts / status. The umbrella
bit lives in HERMES_VOICE + display.voice_enabled; tts lives in
HERMES_VOICE_TTS + display.voice_tts. /voice off also tears down
any active continuous loop so a toggle-off really releases the
microphone.
- voice.record start/stop now drives start_continuous/stop_continuous.
start is refused with a clear error when the mode is off, matching
cli.py:handle_voice_record's early return on `not _voice_mode`.
- New voice.transcript / voice.status events emit through
_voice_emit (remembers the sid that last enabled the mode so
events land in the right session).
TypeScript
- gatewayTypes.ts: voice.status + voice.transcript event
discriminants; VoiceToggleResponse gains tts; VoiceRecordResponse
gains status for the new "started/stopped" responses.
- interfaces.ts: GatewayEventHandlerContext gains composer.setInput +
submission.submitRef + voice.{setRecording, setProcessing,
setVoiceEnabled}; InputHandlerContext.voice gains enabled +
setVoiceEnabled for the mode-aware Ctrl+B handler.
- createGatewayEventHandler.ts: voice.status drives REC/STT badges;
voice.transcript auto-submits when the composer is empty (CLI
_pending_input.put parity) and appends when a draft is in flight.
no_speech_limit flips voice off + sys line.
- useInputHandlers.ts: Ctrl+B now calls voice.record (start/stop),
not voice.toggle, and nudges the user with a sys line when the
mode is off instead of silently flipping it on.
- useMainApp.ts: wires the new event-handler context fields.
- slash/commands/session.ts: /voice handles on / off / tts / status
with CLI-matching output ("voice: mode on · tts off").
Backward compat preserved for voice.record (was always PTT shape;
gateway still honours start/stop with mode-gating added).
'top' and 'bottom' are positions relative to the input row, not the alt
screen viewport:
- top (default) → inline above the input, where the bar originally lived
(what 'on' used to mean)
- bottom → below the input, pinned to the last row
- off → hidden
Drops the literal top-of-screen placement; 'on' is kept as a backward-
compat alias that resolves to 'top' at both the config layer
(normalizeStatusBar, _coerce_statusbar) and the slash command.
Default is back to 'on' (inline, above the input) — bottom was too far
from the input and felt disconnected. Users who want it pinned can
opt in explicitly.
- UiState.statusBar: boolean → 'on' | 'off' | 'bottom' | 'top'
- /statusbar [on|off|bottom|top|toggle]; no-arg still binary-toggles
between off and on (preserves muscle memory)
- appLayout renders StatusRulePane in three slots (inline inside
ComposerPane for 'on', above transcript row for 'top', after
ComposerPane for 'bottom'); only the slot matching ui.statusBar
actually mounts
- drop the input's marginBottom when 'bottom' so the rule sits tight
against the input instead of floating a row below
- useConfigSync.normalizeStatusBar coerces legacy bool (true→on,
false→off) and unknown shapes to 'on' for forward-compat reads
- tui_gateway: split compact from statusbar config handlers; persist
string enum with _coerce_statusbar helper for legacy bool configs
Adds a live + post-hoc audit surface for recursive delegate_task fan-out.
None of cc/oc/oclaw tackle nested subagent trees inside an Ink overlay;
this ships a view-switched dashboard that handles arbitrary depth + width.
Python
- delegate_tool: every subagent event now carries subagent_id, parent_id,
depth, model, tool_count; subagent.complete also ships input/output/
reasoning tokens, cost, api_calls, files_read/files_written, and a
tail of tool-call outputs
- delegate_tool: new subagent.spawn_requested event + _active_subagents
registry so the overlay can kill a branch by id and pause new spawns
- tui_gateway: new RPCs delegation.status, delegation.pause,
subagent.interrupt, spawn_tree.save/list/load (disk under
\$HERMES_HOME/spawn-trees/<session>/<ts>.json)
TUI
- /agents overlay: full-width list mode (gantt strip + row picker) and
Enter-to-drill full-width scrollable detail mode; inverse+amber
selection, heat-coloured branch markers, wall-clock gantt with tick
ruler, per-branch rollups
- Detail pane: collapsible accordions (Budget, Files, Tool calls, Output,
Progress, Summary); open-state persists across agents + mode switches
via a shared atom
- /replay [N|last|list|load <path>] for in-memory + disk history;
/replay-diff <a> <b> for side-by-side tree comparison
- Status-bar SpawnHud warns as depth/concurrency approaches caps;
overlay auto-follows the just-finished turn onto history[1]
- Theme: bump DARK dim #B8860B → #CC9B1F for readable secondary text
globally; keep LIGHT untouched
Tests: +29 new subagentTree unit tests; 215/215 passing.
Drops `lastUserAt` plumbing and the right-edge idle ticker. Matches the
claude-code / opencode convention: elapsed rides with the busy indicator
(spinner verb), nothing at idle.
- `turnStartedAt` driven by a useEffect on `ui.busy` — stamps on rising
edge, clears on falling edge. Covers agent turns and !shell alike.
- FaceTicker renders ` · {fmtDuration}` while busy; 1 s clock for the
counter, existing 2500 ms cycle for face/verb rotation.
- On busy → idle, if the block ran ≥ 1 s, emit a one-shot
`done in {fmtDuration}` sys line (≡ claude-code's `thought for Ns`).
StatusRule now renders `{sinceLastMsg}/{sinceSession}` (e.g. `12s/3m 45s`)
when a user has submitted in the current session; falls back to the total
alone otherwise. Wires `lastUserAt` through the state/session lifecycle:
- useSubmission stamps `setLastUserAt(Date.now())` on send
- useSessionLifecycle nulls it in reset/resetVisibleHistory
- /branch slash nulls it on fork
Previously the queue only drained inside the message.complete event
handler, so anything enqueued while a shell.exec (!sleep, !cmd) or a
failed agent turn was running would stay stuck forever — neither of
those paths emits message.complete. After Ctrl+C an interrupted
session would also orphan the queue because idle() flips busy=false
locally without going through message.complete.
Single source of truth: a useEffect that watches ui.busy. When the
session is settled (sid present, busy false, not editing a queue
item), pull one message and send it. Covers agent turn end,
interrupt, shell.exec completion, error recovery, and the original
startup hydration (first-sid case) all at once.
Dropped the now-redundant dequeue/sendQueued from
createGatewayEventHandler.message.complete and the accompanying
GatewayEventHandlerContext.composer field — the effect handles it.
The time-window gate felt wrong — users would hit /clear, read the
prompt, retype, and consistently blow past the window. Swapping to a
real yes/no overlay that blocks input like the existing Approval and
Clarify prompts.
- add ConfirmReq type + OverlayState.confirm + $isBlocked coverage
- ConfirmPrompt component (prompts.tsx): cancel row on top as the
default, danger-coloured confirm row on the bottom, Y/N hotkeys,
Enter on default = cancel, Esc/Ctrl+C cancel
- wire into PromptZone (appOverlays.tsx)
- /clear + /new now push onto the overlay instead of arming a timer
- HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM=1 still skips the prompt for scripting
- drop the destructiveGate + createSlashHandler reset wiring
(destructive.ts and its tests removed)
Refs #4069.
Extend OverlayState with a skillsHub flag, fold it into $isBlocked, and
teach Ctrl+C to close the overlay so later PRs can render the component
behind this slot.
Extends ConfigDisplayConfig and UiState so the four new display flags
flow from `config.get {key:"full"}` into the nanostore. applyDisplay is
exported to keep the fan-out testable without an Ink harness.
Defaults mirror v1 parity: streaming + inline_diffs default true
(opt-out via `=== false`), show_cost + show_reasoning default false
(opt-in via plain truthy check).
Live turn rendering used to show the streaming assistant text as one
blob with tool calls pooled in a separate section below, so the live
view drifted from the reload view (which threads tool rows inline via
toTranscriptMessages). Model now mirrors reload:
- turnStore gains streamSegments (completed assistant chunks, each
with any tool rows that landed between its predecessor and itself)
and streamPendingTools (tool rows waiting for the next chunk)
- turnController.flushStreamingSegment() seals the current bufRef into
a segment when a new tool.start fires; pending tools get attached to
that next chunk so order matches reload hydration
- recordMessageComplete returns finalMessages instead of one payload,
so appendMessage gets the same shape for live-ending turns as for
reloaded ones
- appLayout renders segments before the progress/streaming area, and
the streaming message + pending-tools fallback carry whatever tools
arrived after the last assistant chunk
- tui_gateway: new `setup.status` RPC that reuses CLI's
`_has_any_provider_configured()`, so the TUI can ask the same question
the CLI bootstrap asks before launching a session
- useSessionLifecycle: preflight `setup.status` before both `newSession`
and `resumeById`, and render a clear "Setup Required" panel when no
provider is configured instead of booting a session that immediately
fails with `agent init failed`
- createGatewayEventHandler: drop duplicate startup resume logic in
favor of the preflighted `resumeById`, and special-case the
no-provider agent-init error as a last-mile fallback to the same
setup panel
- add regression tests for both paths
- tui_gateway: route approvals through gateway callback (HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION/
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) so dangerous commands emit approval.request instead of
silently falling through the CLI input() path and auto-denying
- approval UX: dedicated PromptZone between transcript and composer, safer
defaults (sel=0, numeric quick-picks, no Esc=deny), activity trail line,
outcome footer under the cost row
- text input: Ctrl+A select-all, real forward Delete, Ctrl+W always consumed
(fixes Ctrl+Backspace at cursor 0 inserting literal w)
- hermes-ink selection: swap synchronous onRender() for throttled
scheduleRender() on drag, and only notify React subscribers on presence
change — no more per-cell paint/subscribe spam
- useConfigSync: silence config.get polling failures instead of surfacing
'error: timeout: config.get' in the transcript
Hoist turn state from a 286-line hook into $turnState atom + turnController
singleton. createGatewayEventHandler becomes a typed dispatch over the
controller; its ctx shrinks from 30 fields to 5. Event-handler refs and 16
threaded actions are gone.
Fold three createSlash*Handler factories into a data-driven SlashCommand[]
registry under slash/commands/{core,session,ops}.ts. Aliases are data;
findSlashCommand does name+alias lookup. Shared guarded/guardedErr combinator
in slash/guarded.ts.
Split constants.ts + app/helpers.ts into config/ (timing/limits/env),
content/ (faces/placeholders/hotkeys/verbs/charms/fortunes), domain/ (roles/
details/messages/paths/slash/viewport/usage), protocol/ (interpolation/paste).
Type every RPC response in gatewayTypes.ts (26 new interfaces); drop all
`(r: any)` across slash + main app.
Shrink useMainApp from 1216 -> 646 lines by extracting useSessionLifecycle,
useSubmission, useConfigSync. Add <Fg> themed primitive and strip ~50
`as any` color casts.
Tests: 50 passing. Build + type-check clean.
