fix(browser): honor pre-set AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS and document the bypass
Follow-up to the sandbox-bypass env-var fix: - Update the opt-out gate so a user-provided AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS is also respected, not just the legacy AGENT_BROWSER_CHROME_FLAGS. Previously the gate only checked the broken legacy var, so a user who pre-set AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS would still get clobbered by Hermes's auto-injection. - Document AGENT_BROWSER_ARGS in .env.example, the browser feature page, and the env var reference, with notes about the auto-injection on AppArmor-restricted systems (Ubuntu 23.10+, DGX Spark, containers). - Add Anadi Jaggia to AUTHOR_MAP. |

feat(proxy): local OpenAI-compatible proxy for OAuth providers (#25969)
Adds 'hermes proxy start' — a local HTTP server that lets external apps (OpenViking, Karakeep, Open WebUI, ...) use a Hermes-managed provider subscription as their LLM endpoint. The proxy attaches the user's real OAuth-resolved credentials to each forwarded request, refreshing them automatically; the client can send any bearer (it gets stripped). Ships with one adapter — Nous Portal. The UpstreamAdapter ABC and registry in hermes_cli/proxy/adapters/ are designed for additional OAuth providers to plug in by name without server changes. Commands: hermes proxy start [--provider nous] [--host 127.0.0.1] [--port 8645] hermes proxy status hermes proxy providers Allowed Portal paths: /v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/models. Anything else returns 404 with a clear error pointing at the allowed list. aiohttp is gated like gateway/platforms/api_server.py (try-import, clean runtime error if missing). No new core dependency. Tests: 24 unit tests + 1 separate E2E that spawns the real subprocess and verifies the upstream receives the right bearer with the client's header stripped. |

docs(lsp): replace "git worktree" with "git repository" in LSP docs
The word "worktree" (a git subcommand feature for parallel checkouts) was used interchangeably with "repository" in the LSP docs, causing confusion. LSP only requires a git-initialized directory, not an actual worktree. Fixes two instances: section "When LSP runs" and the troubleshooting "Editing a file outside any git repo" heading. |

feat(codex-runtime): skip unavailable plugins during migration (#25437)
Followup to PR #24182 — caught when scanning OpenClaw for recent codex fixes we hadn't considered. OpenClaw learned the hard way (#80815) that migrating plugins which codex itself reports as unavailable produces config that fails at activation time. Our /codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path queries codex's plugin/list and migrates everything where installed=true. We were trusting codex's installation state and ignoring its availability field. So a plugin that's installed=true but availability=UNAVAILABLE (broken local install) or REQUIRES_AUTH (OAuth expired or never completed) would get an [plugins."<n>@openai-curated"] entry in ~/.codex/config.toml — and the user's first codex turn after enabling the runtime would fail because codex refuses to activate it. Fix: filter on availability in _query_codex_plugins(). Only emit plugins where availability is empty (older codex versions without the field — preserve backward compat) or explicitly AVAILABLE. Tests: test_plugin_discovery_skips_unavailable_plugins — verifies 4 cases: - good-plugin (installed=True, availability=AVAILABLE) → migrated - broken-plugin (installed=True, availability=UNAVAILABLE) → skipped - auth-pending (installed=True, availability=REQUIRES_AUTH) → skipped - legacy-plugin (installed=True, no availability field) → migrated (older codex versions; preserve backward compat) Docs: Added bullet to 'What's NOT migrated' list in the docs page calling out the availability filter and why. Other OpenClaw codex PRs I reviewed but did NOT apply (with reasoning): - #81591 (load Codex for selectable models): we resolve runtime per-call already, no startup-time gating to fix - #81510 (cron compatibility): we documented cron as untested; their fix is for OpenClaw-specific cron orchestration shape - #81223 (rotate incompatible context-engine threads): we don't have a Lossless context engine equivalent - #80688 (constrain sandbox): we don't have an outer-sandbox concept - #80616 (release on turn_aborted): we already handle status= interrupted in turn/completed correctly - #80278 (expose activeModel in plugin SDK): not our surface - #80792 (default destructive_actions on): we don't expose that knob 56 codex-runtime migration tests still green (+1 new). |

feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime
Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.
Lands in three pieces:
1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
development.
2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
- Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
- Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).
3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
CLI installed.
This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.
Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)
* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review
The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.
Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
- userMessage → {role: user, content}
- agentMessage → {role: assistant, content: text}
- reasoning → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
- commandExecution → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
- fileChange → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
- mcpToolCall → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
- dynamicToolCall → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
- plan/hookPrompt/etc → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls
Invariants preserved:
- Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
- Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
- Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
- JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.
Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).
23 new tests, all green:
- Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
- Turn/thread frame events are silent
- commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
deterministic id stability across replays
- agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
- fileChange: summary without inlined content
- mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
- userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
- opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
- Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
- Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types
This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.
* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge
The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.
The adapter has a single public per-turn method:
result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
# result.final_text → assistant text for the caller
# result.projected_messages → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
# result.tool_iterations → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
# result.interrupted → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
# result.error → error string when the turn cannot complete
# result.turn_id, thread_id → for sessions DB / resume
Behavior:
- ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
- run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
- request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
- turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
error if the turn never completes.
- close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.
Approval bridge:
Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:
Hermes 'once' → codex 'approved'
Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'
Routing precedence:
1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired
Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.
Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
Hermes 'auto' → codex 'workspace-write'
Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'
20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
- test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
- test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
- test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)
Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.
Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.
* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent
The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.
Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):
1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.
2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
flag is off.
3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
_iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
loop normally does that per iteration), fires
_spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.
Counter accounting:
_turns_since_memory ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
(gated on memory store configured) — codex
helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
_user_turn_count ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
— codex helper does NOT touch it.
_iters_since_skill ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.
User message:
ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.
Approval callback wiring:
Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
the codex-side fail-closed deny.
Error path:
Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
/codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.
9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
- api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
- run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
(final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
- Projected messages are spliced into messages list
- _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
- _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
- User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
- _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
- chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
- Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
- Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved
Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
- tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
- tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
- tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green
Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.
* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)
User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.
Surface:
/codex-runtime — show current state + codex CLI status
/codex-runtime auto — Hermes default runtime
/codex-runtime codex_app_server — codex subprocess runtime
/codex-runtime on / off — synonyms
Files changed:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
suits their surface.
hermes_cli/commands.py:
Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).
cli.py:
Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.
gateway/run.py:
Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.
gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
/codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.
Tests:
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.
Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
167/167 green
- tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits
Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.
* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml
Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.
The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.
What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env → codex stdio transport
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers → codex streamable_http transport
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout → codex tool_timeout_sec
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout → codex startup_timeout_sec
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd → codex stdio cwd
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false → codex enabled = false
What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.
What's NOT migrated (intentional):
AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
it up without translation. No code needed.
Idempotency design:
All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
or below.
Files added:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
.skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
covering:
- per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
- TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
- existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
above, with user content below
- end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
summary formatting
Files changed:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
path (auto) explicitly skips migration.
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.
All 325 feature tests green:
- tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
- tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
- tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
- tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)
* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()
Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.
Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.
Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.
Two regression-guard tests added:
- test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
- test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1
Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.
* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test
Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.
Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format
Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
{"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.
Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.
Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.
Bug 2: server-request method names
Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
item/commandExecution/requestApproval
item/fileChange/requestApproval
item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)
Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.
Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.
Bug 3: approval decision values
Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).
Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.
Live test verified after fixes:
$ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
> Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
then read it back
Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.
agent.log confirms:
codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace
All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.
* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs
Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.
Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.
Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
✓ thread/start handshake
✓ turn/start with text input
✓ commandExecution items + projection
✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
✓ Approve once → command runs
✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)
Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
- delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
- permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
- apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
doesn't expose it)
145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.
* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)
Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)
Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
(plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
- render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
- migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
- _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
[permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.
Quirk fixes:
#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
default_permission_profile=None to opt out.
#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.
Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.
#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
'<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.
Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.
#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
on. Default banner is unchanged.
Tests:
- 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
- 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
- All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.
* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration
The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.
Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.
New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
Hermes default runtime. Run with:
python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]
Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
_press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
_vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
text_to_speech.
NOT exposed (deliberately):
- terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
- delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.
Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
- _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
- render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
- migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
— must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
- _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.
Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
struct PermissionProfileToml'.
2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
rejected with 'unknown built-in profile'.
3. Codex's MCP layer sends for
tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
the runtime), decline for third-party servers.
Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
#2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
approval prompt on every write.
#4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:
/tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of '0 change(s)'.
#5/#10 exec approval cwd never empty: fall back to session cwd, then
'<unknown>'. Also surfaces 'reason' from codex when present.
#11 banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line when active so
users understand why tool counts may not match what's reachable.
Tests:
- 5 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
- 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
- 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
hermes-tools, decline others).
- New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.
- 166 codex-runtime tests total, all green.

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.
* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6
Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.
This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.
Now explicitly tested:
- User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
- User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
- Both above + below survive a second re-migration
- User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
region is left untouched
Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.
167 codex-runtime tests, all green.
* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find
Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.
Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).
Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:
1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
adjacent.
2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.
Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.
Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.
Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.
No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.
* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade
Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.
Bug 1: wrong call signature
The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
messages_snapshot=list (positional or keyword)
review_memory=bool (at least one trigger must be True)
review_skills=bool
So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.
Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode
The review fork is constructed with:
api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')
So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.
Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).
Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
- Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
- Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
- Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
- Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.
Tests:
Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
- test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
- test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
- test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
messages_snapshot
New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
- test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
the parent was codex_app_server.
Live-validated against real run_conversation:
- Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
- _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
- review_skills=True, review_memory=False
- messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
- Counter reset to 0 after fire
170 codex-runtime tests, all green.
Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).
* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback
Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.
That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.
Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.
Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.
Tools exposed:
Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
Read-only board queries:
kanban_show, kanban_list
Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link
Tests:
- test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
- test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link
Docs:
- New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
- /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
the default :workspace permission profile)
- Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
to the MCP server subprocess
- Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
- Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
orchestrator
172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).
* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost
Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:
1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
slash command syntax.
2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
manually' since it's an internal handoff.
3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.
This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).
Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
fix earlier in this PR.
No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.
* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME
OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.
Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:
test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
in the subprocess env
test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
arg still isolates
codex state correctly
Docs additions:
'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.
'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.
Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
Opt-in is safer than surprising users.
174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.
* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write
Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.
Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped
The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.
Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.
Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.
Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic
If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.
Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.
Tests:
- test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
- test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
- test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
- test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
- test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
left over after a successful write
- test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)
180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).
Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):
- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
/codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
consistent — only the merge step is racy.
- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
on CI before users hit it.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry, plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced through hermes tools. Surface (one schema, every backend): - operation: generate / edit / extend - modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt + image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url) - reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override - Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the backend, the agent learns one tool Backends shipped: - plugins/video_gen/xai/ — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend + image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface) - plugins/video_gen/fal/ — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v, Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a model doesn't declare Wiring: - agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation, success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video, $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/ - agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list + get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml - hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider() - hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin, config write to video_gen.{provider,model} - toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset - tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins - docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse), #10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984 (FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin interface). Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions() time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model. The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front: - 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected' - 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown - xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7 reference_image_urls' - Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface that they need to switch backends via hermes tools' This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping — documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically. Tested: - Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted round-trip - Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches - 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface / text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing - 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set * test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint (/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt, extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and duration/aspect_ratio clamping. 15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing, modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope. Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate 'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads: Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16 - resolution choices: 480p, 720p - duration range: 1-15s - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing Two design changes per Teknium: 1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints stay out of the unified schema. 2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick 'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest. Catalog rewritten as families: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video / fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes, routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no edit/extend exposure. Schema changes: - VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params: prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model. - VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS, DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key. - success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit. Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no 'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads: Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6 - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video (pass image_url) - routes automatically - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p - duration range: 1-15s - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier) - negative_prompt: supported Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard. Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention. toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface. Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL: Cheap tier: ltx-2.3 fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video / image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / image-to-video Premium tier: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video seedance-2.0 bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video / image-to-video kling-v3-4k fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video happy-horse fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video / image-to-video DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't explicitly picked a model. New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url. Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs: - LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults) - Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported, negative prompts NOT supported per docs - Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative - Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green. Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available. * test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right payload shape. Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get both modalities tested for free). Coverage: - All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases - xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases - tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases For each case, verifies: - result['success'] is True - result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise) - outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint - text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys - text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most, start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI) All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every (provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage. * feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status Two changes: 1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow — most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which already routes to the provider+model picker. 2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired. Verified live: - Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard. - With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name. - 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice. Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better. --------- Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> |

feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch (#24168)
* feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch
Wire ~26 language servers (pyright, gopls, rust-analyzer, typescript-language-server,
clangd, bash-language-server, ...) into the post-write lint check used by write_file
and patch. The model now sees type errors, undefined names, missing imports, and
project-wide semantic issues introduced by its edits, not just syntax errors.
LSP is gated on git workspace detection: when the agent's cwd or the file being
edited is inside a git worktree, LSP runs against that workspace; otherwise the
existing in-process syntax checks are the only tier. This keeps users on
user-home cwds (Telegram/Discord gateway chats) from spawning daemons.
The post-write check is layered: in-process syntax check first (microseconds),
then LSP semantic diagnostics second when syntax is clean. Diagnostics are
delta-filtered against a baseline captured at write start, so the agent only
sees errors its edit introduced. A flaky/missing language server can never
break a write -- every LSP failure path falls back silently to the syntax-only
result.
New module agent/lsp/ split into:
- protocol.py: Content-Length JSON-RPC framer + envelope helpers
- client.py: async LSPClient (spawn, initialize, didOpen/didChange,
ContentModified retry, push/pull diagnostic stores)
- workspace.py: git worktree walk-up + per-server NearestRoot resolver
- servers.py: registry of 26 language servers (extension match,
root resolver, spawn builder per language)
- install.py: auto-install dispatch (npm install --prefix, go install
with GOBIN, pip install --target) into HERMES_HOME/lsp/bin/
- manager.py: LSPService (per-(server_id, root) client registry, lazy
spawn, broken-set, in-flight dedupe, sync facade for tools layer)
- reporter.py: <diagnostics> block formatter (severity-1-only, 20-per-file)
- cli.py: hermes lsp {status,list,install,install-all,restart,which}
Wired into tools/file_operations.py:
- write_file/patch_replace now call _snapshot_lsp_baseline before write
- _check_lint_delta gains a third tier: LSP semantic diagnostics when
syntax is clean
- All LSP code paths swallow exceptions; write_file's contract unchanged
Config: 'lsp' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with enabled (default true),
wait_mode, wait_timeout, install_strategy (default 'auto'), and per-server
overrides (disabled, command, env, initialization_options).
Tests: tests/agent/lsp/ -- 49 tests covering protocol framing (encode and
read_message round-trip, EOF/truncation/missing Content-Length), workspace
gate (git walk-up, exclude markers, fallback to file location), reporter
(severity filter, max-per-file cap, truncation), service-level delta filter,
and an in-process mock LSP server that exercises the full client lifecycle
including didChange version bumps, dedup, crash recovery, and idempotent
teardown.
Live E2E verified end-to-end through ShellFileOperations: pyright
auto-installed via npm into HERMES_HOME, baseline captured, type error
introduced, single delta diagnostic surfaced with correct line/column/code/
source, then patch fix removes the diagnostic from the output.
Docs: new website/docs/user-guide/features/lsp.md page covering supported
languages, configuration knobs, performance characteristics, and
troubleshooting; cli-commands.md updated with the 'hermes lsp' reference;
sidebar updated.
* feat(lsp): structured logging, backend gate, defensive walk caps
Cherry-picks the substantive ideas from #24155 (different scope, same
problem space) onto our PR.
agent/lsp/eventlog.py (new): dedicated structured logger
``hermes.lint.lsp`` with steady-state silence. Module-level dedup sets
keep a 1000-write session at exactly ONE INFO line ("active for
<root>") at the default INFO threshold; clean writes log at DEBUG so
they never reach agent.log under normal config. State transitions
(server starts, no project root for a file, server unavailable) fire
at INFO/WARNING once per (server_id, key); novel events (timeouts,
unexpected errors) fire WARNING per call. Grep recipe: ``rg 'lsp\\['``.
agent/lsp/manager.py: wire the eventlog into _get_or_spawn and
get_diagnostics_sync so users can answer "did LSP fire on this edit?"
with a single grep, plus surface "binary not on PATH" warnings once
instead of silently retrying every write.
tools/file_operations.py: backend-type gate. ``_lsp_local_only()``
returns False for non-local backends (Docker / Modal / SSH /
Daytona); ``_snapshot_lsp_baseline`` and ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics``
now skip entirely on remote envs. The host-side language server
can't see files inside a sandbox, so this prevents pretending to
lint a file the host process can't open.
agent/lsp/protocol.py: 8 KiB cap on the header block in
``read_message``. A pathological server that streams headers
without ever emitting CRLF-CRLF would have looped forever consuming
bytes; now raises ``LSPProtocolError`` instead.
agent/lsp/workspace.py: 64-step cap on ``find_git_worktree`` and
``nearest_root`` upward walks, plus try/except containment around
``Path(...).resolve()`` and child ``.exists()`` calls. Defensive
against pathological inputs (symlink loops, encoding errors,
permission failures mid-walk) — the lint hook is hot-path code and
must never raise.
Tests:
- tests/agent/lsp/test_eventlog.py: 18 tests covering steady-state
silence (clean writes stay DEBUG), state-transition INFO-once
semantics (active for, no project root), action-required
WARNING-once (server unavailable), per-call WARNING (timeouts,
spawn failures), and the "1000 clean writes => 1 INFO" contract.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_backend_gate.py: 5 tests verifying
_lsp_local_only / snapshot_baseline / maybe_lsp_diagnostics skip
the LSP layer for non-local backends and route correctly for
LocalEnvironment.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_protocol.py: new test_read_message_rejects_runaway_header
exercising the 8 KiB cap.
Validation:
- 73/73 LSP tests pass (49 original + 18 eventlog + 5 backend-gate + 1 framer cap)
- 198/198 pass when run alongside existing file_operations tests
- Live E2E re-run with pyright still surfaces "ERROR [2:12] Type
... reportReturnType (Pyright)" through the full path, then patch
fix removes it on the next call.
* feat(lsp): atexit cleanup + separate lsp_diagnostics JSON field
Two improvements salvaged from #24414's plugin-form alternative,
keeping our core-integrated design:
1. atexit cleanup of spawned language servers
----------------------------------------------------------------
``agent/lsp/__init__.get_service`` now registers an ``atexit``
handler on first creation that tears down the LSPService on
Python exit. Without this, every ``hermes chat`` exit was
leaking pyright/gopls/etc. processes for a few seconds while
their stdout buffers drained -- they got reaped by the kernel
eventually but a watchful ``ps aux`` would catch them.
The handler runs once per process (gated by
``_atexit_registered``); idempotent ``shutdown_service``
ensures double-fire is a no-op. Errors during shutdown are
swallowed at debug level since by the time atexit fires the
user has already seen the agent's final response.
2. Separate ``lsp_diagnostics`` field on WriteResult / PatchResult
----------------------------------------------------------------
Previously the LSP layer folded its diagnostic block into the
``lint.output`` string, conflating the syntax-check tier with
the semantic tier. The agent (and any downstream parsers) now
read syntax errors and semantic errors as independent signals:
{
"bytes_written": 42,
"lint": {"status": "ok", "output": ""},
"lsp_diagnostics": "<diagnostics file=...>\nERROR [2:12] ..."
}
``_check_lint_delta`` returns to its original two-tier shape
(syntax check + delta filter); ``write_file`` and
``patch_replace`` independently fetch LSP diagnostics via
``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics`` and pass them into the new field.
``patch_replace`` propagates the inner write_file's
``lsp_diagnostics`` so the outer PatchResult carries the patch's
delta correctly.
Tests: 19 new
- tests/agent/lsp/test_lifecycle.py (8 tests): atexit registration
fires once and only once across N get_service calls; the
registered callable is our internal shutdown wrapper;
shutdown_service is idempotent and safe when never started;
exceptions during shutdown are swallowed; inactive service is
cached so we don't rebuild on every check.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_diagnostics_field.py (11 tests): WriteResult
/ PatchResult dataclass shape, to_dict include/omit semantics,
channel separation (lint and lsp_diagnostics carry independent
signals), write_file populates the field via
_maybe_lsp_diagnostics only when the syntax tier is clean,
patch_replace propagates the field forward from its internal
write_file.
Validation:
- 92/92 LSP tests pass (73 prior + 8 lifecycle + 11 diagnostics field)
- 217/217 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Live E2E reverified: clean writes -> both fields empty/none; type
error introduced -> lint clean (parses), lsp_diagnostics carries
the pyright reportReturnType block; patch fix -> both fields
clean again.
* fix(lsp): broken-set short-circuit so a wedged server isn't paid every write
Discovered while auditing failure paths: a language server binary that
hangs (sleep forever, no LSP traffic on stdin/stdout) caused EVERY
subsequent write to re-pay the 8s snapshot_baseline timeout. Five
writes = ~64s of dead time.
The bug: ``_get_or_spawn`` adds the (server_id, root) pair to
``_broken`` inside its inner exception handler, but when the OUTER
``_loop.run`` timeout fires, it cancels the inner task before that
handler runs. The pair never makes it to broken-set, so the next
write re-enters the spawn path and re-pays the timeout.
Fix:
- New ``_mark_broken_for_file`` helper at the service layer marks
the (server_id, workspace_root) pair broken from the OUTSIDE when
the outer timeout fires. Called from the except branches in
``snapshot_baseline``, ``get_diagnostics_sync`` (asyncio.TimeoutError
+ generic Exception). Also kills any orphan client process that
survived the cancelled future, fire-and-forget with a 1s ceiling.
- ``enabled_for`` now consults the broken-set BEFORE returning True.
Files in already-broken (server_id, root) pairs short-circuit to
False, so the file_operations layer skips the LSP path entirely
with no spawn cost. Until the service is restarted (``hermes lsp
restart``) or the process exits.
- A single eventlog WARNING is emitted on first mark-broken so the
user knows which server gave up. Subsequent edits in the same
project stay silent.
Tests: 7 new in tests/agent/lsp/test_broken_set.py — covers the
key shape (server_id, per_server_root), enabled_for short-circuit,
sibling-file skip in same project, project isolation (broken in
A doesn't affect B), graceful no-op for missing-server / no-workspace,
and an end-to-end test that snapshots after a failure and verifies
the next ``enabled_for`` returns False.
Validation:
- Live retest of the wedged-binary scenario: 5 sequential writes,
first 8.88s (the one snapshot timeout), subsequent four ~0.84s
(no LSP cost). Down from 5x12.85s = 64s before this fix.
- 99/99 LSP tests pass (92 prior + 7 broken-set)
- 224/224 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Happy path E2E reverified — clean write, type error introduced,
patch fix all behave correctly with the new broken-set logic.
Note: the FIRST write to a wedged binary still pays 8s (the
snapshot_baseline timeout). We could shorten that, but pyright/
tsserver normally take 2-3s and slow CI rust-analyzer can need
5+ seconds, so 8s is the conservative ceiling. Subsequent writes
are instant.

docs(camofox): expand externally-managed sessions section (#24584)
Adds behavior detail to the existing 'Externally managed Camofox sessions' subsection in features/browser.md: - Three-row settings table (config key + env var + effect). - 'What changes when user_id is set' — soft-cleanup behavior, why DELETE /sessions/<user_id> is skipped. - 'How tab adoption works' — 4-step lookup against GET /tabs, listItemId matching, fallback to new-tab creation, no mid-run re-polling. - Picking session_key: how to attach to a specific existing tab vs share-profile-only behavior with the default per-task session_key. - Concurrency note that Camofox does not arbitrate per-tab focus. |

feat(computer-use): refresh cua-driver on hermes update + add install --upgrade (#24063)
cua-driver was only installed once on toolset enable: `_run_post_setup` early-returns when the binary is already on PATH, so upstream fixes (e.g. v0.1.6 Safari window-focus fix) never reached existing users without manual reinstall. Two refresh points now: - `hermes update` re-runs the upstream installer at the end of the update if cua-driver is on PATH (macOS-only, no-op otherwise). Ties driver freshness to the user-controlled update cadence — no startup latency, no per-launch GitHub API call. - `hermes computer-use install --upgrade` for manual force-refresh. The upstream `install.sh` always pulls the latest release, so re-running is the canonical upgrade path. No version-comparison logic needed. `hermes computer-use status` now shows the installed version, and points at `--upgrade` for refreshing. |

feat(kanban): stranded_in_ready diagnostic for unclaimed tasks (#23578)
Surface ready tasks that nobody claims within a threshold (default 30 min) regardless of why. One identity-agnostic signal that catches: - Operator typo'd the assignee - Profile was deleted, leaving its tasks stranded - External worker pool (Codex CLI lane, custom daemon) is down - Dispatcher misconfigured (wrong board / wrong HERMES_HOME) Today the dispatcher correctly skips these (no respawn loop, good) but nothing surfaces the fact that operator-actionable work is accumulating. The new `stranded_in_ready` rule does that without requiring a manual lane registry — it reads the most recent ready- transition event (`created` / `promoted` / `reclaimed` / `unblocked`) and fires when (now - last_ready_ts) > threshold. Severity escalates with age: warning at threshold, error at 2x, critical at 6x. The cli_hint and reassign actions point operators at the right next step. Out of scope deliberately: - Lane registry (#20157 closed) — this signal supersedes it. - Pushing the diagnostic into messaging gateways — diagnostics are pull-only via 'hermes kanban diagnostics' for now; gateway push is a separate UX decision. Tests: 10 new + 461 existing kanban tests pass. E2E verified end- to-end via 'hermes kanban diagnostics --json' against a 2h-old stranded task — surfaces as error severity with correct actions. |

docs(kanban): worker lane contract page + review-required convention
Closes the architectural-pin part of #19931. Most of what that issue asked for is already implemented (logs under kanban root, env-pinned workspace, dispatcher routing of unknown assignees, lifecycle ownership, structured handoff conventions). What was missing: 1. A written contract integrators can point at when adding a new worker lane shape, and 2. The "code-changing workers should not auto-promote success to done" convention. This commit ships both as docs+convention layered on existing primitives. No kernel changes — the kanban_complete / kanban_block / kanban_comment surfaces already support the review-required pattern; we just hadn't written it down or made it visible to workers. Changes: - `agent/prompt_builder.py::KANBAN_GUIDANCE`: append the review-required exception to step 5 of the lifecycle. Workers get the cue auto-injected into their system prompt — drop structured metadata into a kanban_comment first, then end with kanban_block(reason="review-required: <summary>") instead of kanban_complete when the work needs review. Total prompt size went from ~3000 to ~3275 chars; well under the 4096 budget enforced by test_kanban_guidance_size. - `skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md`: add a worked example to the existing "Good summary + metadata shapes" section between the Coding-task and Research-task examples. Same shape as the others (kanban_comment with structured handoff JSON, then kanban_block with the human-readable reason). Plus a one-line guide on when to use kanban_complete vs the review-required pattern. - `website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-worker-lanes.md` (new): the integrator-facing contract. Covers the hierarchy, the three things every lane must provide (assignee, spawn mechanism, lifecycle terminator), the env vars the dispatcher injects, the review-required convention, the failure modes the kernel handles for free, and an explicit "external CLI worker lane" deferred- pending-concrete-asker section that links to #19931 and #19924. - `website/sidebars.ts`: link the new page under user-guide/features. The "specialist worker lanes for external CLI tools (Codex / Claude Code / OpenCode)" runner is NOT shipped here. The dispatcher's spawn_fn parameter already supports plugin-shaped extension; the per-CLI integration work (auth, sandbox policy, exit-code mapping) needs a concrete asker. The new docs page tells would-be integrators the contract any such lane must satisfy. Refs #19931 |

refactor(kanban-orchestrator): drop hardcoded specialist roster, add Step-0 profile discovery
The skill enumerated 8 specialist profile names (researcher, analyst, writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) as "the standard roster" and told orchestrators to "assume these exist." Almost no real Hermes setup matches that fleet — single-profile setups, Docker-worker setups, and curated-team setups all violate it — so following the skill literally produced cards assigned to non-existent profiles, which the dispatcher silently failed to spawn (no autocorrect, no fallback, just sits in `ready` forever). Changes: - Drop the standard-specialist-roster table. - Add a "Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster" section at the top with a Step 0 that prescribes `hermes profile list` (or asking the user) before fanning out. Cache the result in working memory. - Rewrite the worked task-graph example with placeholder names (<profile-A>, <profile-B>, <profile-C>) so the structure is still teachable but doesn't invite copy-paste of role names that may not exist. - Reframe the "If no specialist fits" anti-temptation rule: don't invent profile names; ask the user. - Add a "Inventing profile names that doesn't exist" entry to Pitfalls. - Bump skill version 2.0.0 → 3.0.0 (semantic break: previous behavior promised a roster the skill no longer enumerates). - Update website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md to drop the matching "(researcher, writer, analyst, backend-eng, reviewer, ops)" line and explain the discovery prompt instead. - Re-run website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh the auto-generated skill page + catalog. Closes #21131 in spirit — addresses the same hardcoded-names footgun @yehuosi flagged, with a different shape than their PR (delete the roster rather than replace each name with placeholder, since the roster table was the load-bearing footgun and the worked example is salvageable with placeholder profile names).

perf(browser): route browser_console eval through supervisor's persistent CDP WS (180x faster) (#23226)
Adds CDPSupervisor.evaluate_runtime() and wires it into _browser_eval as a fast path when a supervisor is alive for the current task_id. Replaces the ~180ms agent-browser subprocess fork+exec+Node-startup hop with a ~1ms Runtime.evaluate over the supervisor's already-connected WebSocket. Falls through to the existing agent-browser CLI path when no supervisor is running (e.g. backends without CDP, or before the first browser_navigate attaches one), so behaviour is unchanged where it can't apply. JS-side exceptions surface directly without falling through to the subprocess (the subprocess would just re-raise the same error, slower); supervisor-side failures (loop down, no session) fall through cleanly. Benchmark — 30 iterations of `1 + 1` against headless Chrome: supervisor WS mean= 0.96ms median= 0.91ms agent-browser subprocess mean=179.35ms median=167.73ms → 187x speedup mean Tests: 14 unit tests (mocked supervisor + response-shape coverage), 5 real-Chrome e2e tests in test_browser_supervisor.py (gated on Chrome being installed). Browser test suite: 355 passed, 1 skipped. |

feat(plugins): run any LLM call from inside a plugin via ctx.llm (#23194)
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm
Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.
New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured
Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.
Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override
Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.
Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
/receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.
Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
and json_schema modes
* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing
The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.
Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.
No code change.
* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output
The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:
- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
/paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
structured or not.'
The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'
No code change.
* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs
The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).
New shape mirrors the host's main config:
ctx.llm.complete(
messages=[...],
provider='openrouter', # gated, optional
model='openai/gpt-4o-mini', # gated, optional
profile='work', # gated, optional
...
)
Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.
Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.
Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates
Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.
* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core
Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:
1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:
- explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
- response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
- falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
active main provider/model
- 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty
Live verified: zero-config call now records
provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
instead of provider='auto', model='default'.
2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
sync-hook + sync-llm path.
3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
externally.
Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.
* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo
Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:
- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit
A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).
Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo
Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.

docs(web-search): explain auxiliary-model summarization for web_extract (#23211)
web_extract runs returned page content through the web_extract auxiliary model when pages exceed 5 000 chars (single-pass up to 500k, chunked up to 2M, refused above that). The user-guide page didn't mention this — users were surprised that long-page extracts produced summaries instead of raw markdown, and that those summaries cost main-model tokens by default. Adds: - size-driven behavior table (under 5k / 5k–500k / 500k–2M / over 2M) - which auxiliary task does the work (auxiliary.web_extract) - how to route summaries to a cheap model regardless of main - escape hatch: browser_navigate when you need raw content - troubleshooting entry for summarization timeouts |

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. |

fix(tools): install cua-driver when Computer Use is enabled via 'hermes tools' (#22765)
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. |

feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI and gateway end-to-end without crashing. install.ps1 already existed and the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive (`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios` imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Cline handle native Windows. ## What changed ### UTF-8 stdio (new module) - `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point. Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8` for subprocesses. No-op on non-Windows. Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`. - Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252 consoles. ### Crash sites fixed - `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)` which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows. - `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe. - `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` → `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`). ### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of `ProcessLookupError`. Widened the catch at: - `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this, the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start) - `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940` - `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777` - `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive` - `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206` ### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`, none of which exist on native Windows. Previously a Windows dashboard would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level import. Now: - `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`. - The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for this tab" message instead of exploding. - Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config editor) runs natively on Windows. ### Dependency - `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata shipped with the OS). Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182). ### Docs - README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note. - `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only). - `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way". - `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError` rules we enforce now. - `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane. ## Why this shape Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline): - All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`. - None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to, Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API. Python does not get that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes. - None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR). - All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does. ## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits) - No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately. - No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's the hardest design call and needs a separate doc. - No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most modern code already specifies it. ## Validation - 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI. Cover: - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior) - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio` - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py` - README no longer says "not supported" - 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass. - `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed pre-existing on main by stash-test). - `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure). - `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass. - Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run; import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True` on Linux (as expected). ## Files - New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` - Modified: `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`, `hermes_cli/profiles.py`, `hermes_cli/gateway.py`, `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py`, `hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py`, `hermes_cli/web_server.py`, `tools/browser_tool.py`, `tools/process_registry.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `README.md`, and 4 docs pages. Credits to everyone whose prior PR work informed these fixes — see the co-author trailers. All of the PRs listed in `~/.hermes/plans/windows-support-prs.md` fixing `os.kill` / `signal.SIGKILL` / UTF-8 stdio / tzdata / README patterns found the same issues; this PR consolidates them.

feat(computer-use): cua-driver backend, universal any-model schema
Background macOS desktop control via cua-driver MCP — does NOT steal the user's cursor or keyboard focus, works with any tool-capable model. Replaces the Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach from the abandoned #4562 with a generic OpenAI function-calling schema plus SOM (set-of-mark) captures so Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models can all drive the desktop via numbered element indices. - `tools/computer_use/` package — swappable ComputerUseBackend ABC + CuaDriverBackend (stdio MCP client to trycua/cua's cua-driver binary). - Universal `computer_use` tool with one schema for all providers. Actions: capture (som/vision/ax), click, double_click, right_click, middle_click, drag, scroll, type, key, wait, list_apps, focus_app. - Multimodal tool-result envelope (`_multimodal=True`, OpenAI-style `content: [text, image_url]` parts) that flows through handle_function_call into the tool message. Anthropic adapter converts into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers get the parts list directly. - Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text placeholders to cap per-turn token cost. - Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have their image parts stripped instead of being skipped. - Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as ~250K tokens before). - COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset is active. - Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages. - Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only. - `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script and prints permission-grant instructions. - CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands. - Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns (curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash, force delete, lock screen, log out). - Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic) workflow guide. - Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog entries. 44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation, run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees. 469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected agent/ test suites. - `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`). - Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred; client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling without a beta header. - macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs (SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo, _AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION. - Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup prints the Settings path. Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic- native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form. |

feat(cron): routing intent — deliver=all fans out to every connected channel (#21495)
Adds one reserved token to the cron `deliver` field: - `all` — expand to every platform with a configured home channel Resolves at fire time, not create time, so a job created before Telegram was wired up picks it up once `TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL` is set. Composes with existing targets: `origin,all`, `all,telegram:-100:17`. Inspired by Vellum Assistant's reminder routing-intent system. ## Changes - cron/scheduler.py: _expand_routing_tokens + integrate into _resolve_delivery_targets - tools/cronjob_tools.py: schema description updated - tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: TestRoutingIntents (5 cases) - website/docs/user-guide/features/cron.md: docs + table rows ## Validation - tests/cron/test_scheduler.py -k 'Routing or Deliver' → 57 passed |

docs: register triage_specifier in the aux-models enumerations (#21494)
The kanban specifier landed in #21435 with feature-page docs (the kanban page itself + the CLI reference table), but three other docs pages enumerate every auxiliary task slot and were missed: user-guide/configuration.md Auxiliary Models section — interactive picker example + full auxiliary config reference YAML block. user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md Both 'Auxiliary Tasks' and 'Fallback Reference' tables. user-guide/features/kanban-tutorial.md Triage-column bullet now mentions the ✨ Specify button + CLI + slash command. No other docs enumerate the aux task slots (verified with grep -r 'title_generation\|auxiliary.session_search' website/docs/). |

feat(kanban): add specify — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks (#21435)
* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks
The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.
`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.
Surface:
hermes kanban specify <task_id> # single task
hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T] # sweep triage column
hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME # audit-comment author
hermes kanban specify ... --json # one JSON line per task
Design choices:
- Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
- No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
- Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
strand a task in triage.
- All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
--all continues past individual failures.
Changes:
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py + specify_triage_task()
hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
hermes_cli/kanban.py + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
hermes_cli/config.py + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md specify + config notes
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md CLI reference entry
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py NEW (10 tests)
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py NEW (20 tests)
Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.
* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash
Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.
Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
- POST /tasks/:id/specify NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
- Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
tens of seconds on reasoning models.
- Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
- dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain. ✨ Specify button appears
ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
button using the response.reason text.
- dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.
Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
- Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.
Tests
- tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
missing aux client as ok=false 200.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.
Docs
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
description mentions ✨ Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.
Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.

Follow-up to #20958. The worker skill section had the same stale 'hermes skills install devops/kanban-worker' command — kanban-worker is also bundled, so that command fails with 'Could not fetch from any source.' Replace with bundled-skill verification + restore pattern, matching the orchestrator section. Uses <your-worker-profile> placeholder since assignees vary (researcher, writer, ops, linguist, reviewer, etc.) rather than a single fixed 'worker' profile. |

docs(tool-gateway): rewrite as pitch-first marketing page (#20827)
Previous version read like internal API docs \u2014 leading with env var tables, config YAML, and 'precedence' rules before ever explaining the product. Complete rewrite inverts the structure so readers see value first, mechanics last. Structure now: - Lede: 'One subscription. Every tool built in.' + pitch paragraph - CTA: subscribe/manage button styled as a real call-to-action - What's included: emoji-led table with expanded descriptions per tool. Image gen lists all 9 models by name (FLUX 2 Klein/Pro, Z-Image Turbo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image 1.5/2, Ideogram V3, Recraft V4 Pro, Qwen) - Why it's here: value bullets \u2014 one bill, one signup, one key, same quality, bring-your-own anytime - Get started: two-command flow (hermes model \u2192 hermes status) - Eligibility: paid-tier note with upgrade link - Mix and match: three realistic usage patterns - Using individual image models: ID reference table for power users - --- separator --- - Configuration reference (demoted): use_gateway flag, disabling, self-hosted gateway env vars moved below the fold where they belong - FAQ: streamlined, removed redundant content Fact-checked against code: - 9 FAL models confirmed from tools/image_generation_tool.py FAL_MODELS - Status section output verified against hermes_cli/status.py - Portal subscription URL preserved - Self-hosted env vars (TOOL_GATEWAY_DOMAIN etc.) kept accurate Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, page renders, no new broken links. |

docs(plugins): close the gaps \u2014 image-gen-provider-plugin guide + publishing a skill tap (#20800)
Two pluggable surfaces were mentioned in the interfaces map without a
real authoring guide behind them:
1. **Image-gen backends** — only had 'See bundled examples' pointers.
Now a full developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin.md (270 lines)
mirroring the memory/context/model provider docs:
- How discovery works, directory structure, plugin.yaml
- ImageGenProvider ABC with every overridable method
(name, display_name, is_available, list_models, default_model,
get_setup_schema, generate)
- Full authoring walkthrough with a working MyBackendImageGenProvider
- Response-format reference (success_response / error_response)
- Handling b64 vs URL output (save_b64_image helper)
- User overrides at ~/.hermes/plugins/image_gen/<name>/
- Testing recipe + pip distribution
- Reference examples (openai, openai-codex, xai)
2. **Skill taps** — features/skills.md mentioned the CLI commands but
never explained the repo contract for publishing a tap. Added
'Publishing a custom skill tap' section under Skills Hub covering:
- Repo layout (skills/<name>/SKILL.md by default)
- Minimal working example
- Non-default path configuration (taps.json)
- Installing individual skills without subscribing
- Trust-level handling
- Full tap management CLI + in-session /skills tap commands
Wired into:
- website/sidebars.ts: image-gen-provider-plugin added to Extending group
- website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md: pluggable interfaces
table + 'What plugins can do' table now link to the real guides
instead of 'See bundled examples'
- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: top info map and
inline sub-sections updated, 'Full guide:' line added to
image-gen block, tap section mentions publishing
Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, new page renders at
/docs/developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin, anchor
#publishing-a-custom-skill-tap resolves from plugins.md +
build-a-hermes-plugin.md. Pre-existing zh-Hans broken links unchanged.

docs: pluggable surfaces coverage — model-provider guide, full plugin map, opt-in fix (#20749)
* docs(providers): add model-provider-plugin authoring guide + fix stale refs
New docs:
- website/docs/developer-guide/model-provider-plugin.md — full authoring
guide (directory layout, minimal example, ProviderProfile fields,
overridable hooks, user overrides, api_mode selection, auth types,
testing, pip distribution)
- Wired into website/sidebars.ts under 'Extending'
- Cross-references added in:
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md (tip block)
- developer-guide/adding-providers.md
- developer-guide/provider-runtime.md
User guide:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: Plugin types table grows from 3 to 4
with 'Model providers' row
Stale comment cleanup (providers/*.py → plugins/model-providers/<name>/):
- hermes_cli/main.py:_is_profile_api_key_provider docstring
- hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list docstring
- hermes_cli/auth.py: PROVIDER_REGISTRY + alias auto-extension comments
- hermes_cli/models.py: CANONICAL_PROVIDERS auto-extension comment
AGENTS.md:
- Project-structure tree: added plugins/model-providers/ row
- New section: 'Model-provider plugins' explaining discovery, override
semantics, PluginManager integration, kind auto-coerce heuristic
Verified: docusaurus build succeeds, new page renders, all 3 cross-links
resolve. 347/347 targeted tests pass (tests/providers/,
tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py,
tests/run_agent/test_provider_parity.py).
* docs(plugins): add 'pluggable interfaces at a glance' maps to plugins.md + build-a-hermes-plugin
Devs landing on either the user-guide plugin page or the build-a-plugin
guide now get an upfront table of every distinct pluggable surface with
a link to the right authoring doc. Previously they'd have to read the
full general-plugin guide to discover that model providers / platforms
/ memory / context engines are separate systems.
user-guide/features/plugins.md:
- New 'Pluggable interfaces — where to go for each' section below the
existing 4-kinds table
- 10 rows covering every register_* surface (tool, hook, slash command,
CLI subcommand, skill, model provider, platform, memory, context
engine, image-gen)
- Explicit note: TTS/STT are NOT plugin-extensible yet — documented
with a pointer to the current config.yaml 'command providers' pattern
and a note that register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() may
come later
guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New :::info 'Not sure which guide you need?' map at the top so devs
see all pluggable interfaces before investing in this 737-line
general-plugin walkthrough
- Existing bottom :::tip expanded to include platform adapters alongside
model/memory/context plugins
Verified:
- All 8 cross-doc links in the new plugins.md table resolve in a
docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
- TTS link corrected (features/voice → features/tts; latter exists)
- Pre-existing broken links/anchors (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist) are unchanged
* docs(plugins): correct TTS/STT pluggability \u2014 they ARE plugins (command-providers)
Previous commit incorrectly said TTS/STT 'aren't plugin-extensible'. They
are, via the config-driven command-provider pattern \u2014 any CLI that reads
text and writes audio (or vice versa for STT) is automatically a plugin
with zero Python. The tts.md docs cover this extensively and I missed it.
plugins.md:
- TTS row: 'Config-driven (not a Python plugin)', points at
tts.md#custom-command-providers
- STT row: points at tts.md#voice-message-transcription-stt (STT docs
live in tts.md despite the filename)
- Expanded note: TTS/STT use config-driven shell-command templates as
their plugin surface (full tts.providers.<name> registry for TTS;
HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch for STT)
- Any CLI that reads/writes files is automatically a plugin \u2014 no Python
register_* API needed
- Future register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() hooks mentioned
as nice-to-have for SDK/streaming cases, not as the primary story
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- Same map update: TTS/STT rows explicit, footer note corrected
Verified:
- tts.md anchors (custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
exist and resolve in docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
* docs(plugins): expand pluggable interfaces table with MCP / event hooks / shell hooks / skill taps
Broadened the scope beyond Python register_* hooks. Hermes has MULTIPLE
plugin-style extension surfaces; they're now all in one table instead of
being scattered across feature docs.
Added rows for:
- **MCP servers** — config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> auto-registers external
tools from any MCP server. Huge extensibility surface, previously not
linked from the plugin map.
- **Gateway event hooks** — drop HOOK.yaml + handler.py into
~/.hermes/hooks/<name>/ to fire on gateway:startup, session:*, agent:*,
command:* events. Separate from Python plugin hooks.
- **Shell hooks** — hooks: block in config.yaml runs shell commands on
events (notifications, auditing, etc.).
- **Skill sources (taps)** — hermes skills tap add <repo> to pull in new
skill registries beyond the built-in sources.
Both docs updated:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: table column renamed to 'How' (mixes
Python API + config-driven + drop-in-dir surfaces accurately)
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: :::info map at top mirrors the new
surfaces with a forward-link to the consolidated table
Note block rewritten: instead of singling out TTS/STT as the 'different
style' exception, now honestly describes that Hermes deliberately
supports three plugin styles — Python APIs, config-driven commands, and
drop-in manifest directories — and devs should pick the one that fits
their integration.
Not included (considered and rejected):
- Transport layer (register_transport) — internal, not user-facing
- Tool-call parsers — internal, VLLM phase-2 thing
- Cloud browser providers — hardcoded registry, not drop-in yet
- Terminal backends — hardcoded if/elif, not drop-in yet
- Skill sources (the ABC) — hardcoded list, only taps are user-extensible
Verified:
- All 5 new anchors resolve (gateway-event-hooks, shell-hooks, skills-hub,
custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): cover every pluggable surface in both the overview and how-to
Both plugins.md and build-a-hermes-plugin.md now cover every extension
surface end-to-end \u2014 general plugin APIs, specialized plugin types,
config-driven surfaces \u2014 with concrete authoring patterns for each.
plugins.md:
- 'What plugins can do' table grows from 9 rows (general ctx.register_*
only) to 14 rows covering register_platform, register_image_gen_provider,
register_context_engine, MemoryProvider subclass, register_provider
(model). Each row links to its full authoring guide.
- New 'Plugin sub-categories' section under Plugin Discovery explains
how plugins/platforms/, plugins/image_gen/, plugins/memory/,
plugins/context_engine/, plugins/model-providers/ are routed to
different loaders \u2014 PluginManager vs the per-category own-loader
systems.
- Explicit mention of user-override semantics at
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/ and ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/.
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New '## Specialized plugin types' section (5 sub-sections):
- Model provider plugins \u2014 ProviderProfile + plugin.yaml example,
auto-wiring summary, link to full guide
- Platform plugins \u2014 BasePlatformAdapter + register_platform() skeleton
- Memory provider plugins \u2014 MemoryProvider subclass example
- Context engine plugins \u2014 ContextEngine subclass example
- Image-generation backends \u2014 ImageGenProvider + kind: backend example
- New '## Non-Python extension surfaces' section (5 sub-sections):
- MCP servers \u2014 config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> example
- Gateway event hooks \u2014 HOOK.yaml + handler.py example
- Shell hooks \u2014 hooks: block in config.yaml example
- Skill sources (taps) \u2014 hermes skills tap add example
- TTS / STT command templates \u2014 tts.providers.<name> with type: command
- Distribute via pip / NixOS promoted from ### to ## (they were orphaned
after the reorganization)
Each specialized / non-Python section has a concrete, copy-pasteable
example plus a 'Full guide:' link to the authoritative doc. Devs arriving
at the build-a-hermes-plugin guide now see every extension surface at
their disposal, not just the general tool/hook/slash-command surface.
Verified:
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- All new cross-links (developer-guide/model-provider-plugin,
adding-platform-adapters, memory-provider-plugin, context-engine-plugin,
user-guide/features/mcp, skills#skills-hub, hooks#gateway-event-hooks,
hooks#shell-hooks, tts#custom-command-providers,
tts#voice-message-transcription-stt) resolve
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): fix opt-in inconsistency — not every plugin is gated
The 'Every plugin is disabled by default' statement was wrong. Several
plugin categories intentionally bypass plugins.enabled:
- Bundled platform plugins (IRC, Teams) auto-load so shipped gateway
channels are available out of the box. Activation per channel is via
gateway.platforms.<name>.enabled.
- Bundled backends (plugins/image_gen/*) auto-load so the default
backend 'just works'. Selection via <category>.provider config.
- Memory providers are all discovered; one is active via memory.provider.
- Context engines are all discovered; one is active via context.engine.
- Model providers: all 33 discovered at first get_provider_profile();
user picks via --provider / config.
The plugins.enabled allow-list specifically gates:
- Standalone plugins (general tools/hooks/slash commands)
- User-installed backends
- User-installed platforms (third-party gateway adapters)
- Pip entry-point backends
Which matches the actual code in hermes_cli/plugins.py:737 where the
bundled+backend/platform check bypasses the allow-list.
Rewrote '## Plugins are opt-in' to:
- Retitle to 'Plugins are opt-in (with a few exceptions)'
- Narrow opening claim to 'General plugins and user-installed backends
are disabled by default'
- Added 'What the allow-list does NOT gate' subsection with a full
table of which bypass the gate and how they're activated instead
- Fixed migration section wording (bundled platform/backend plugins
never needed grandfathering)
Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links.

docs(discord): fix Server Members Intent + SSRC-mapping drift; add /voice join slash Choice
Salvage of #11350. Kept: - Code: add an explicit /voice join Choice in the slash UI (runner accepts both 'join' and 'channel' but only 'channel' was in autocomplete). - Docs: Server Members Intent is conditional (only needed if DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS contains usernames); SSRC → user_id mapping uses the voice websocket SPEAKING opcode, not the Members intent. Dropped from the original PR: - HERMES_DISCORD_VOICE_PACKET_DUMP — this env var doesn't exist on main (it was in a different PR that isn't merged). - DISCORD_PROXY docs — already documented on current main. - DISCORD_ALLOW_MENTION_* docs — already on main. - "barge-in mode" rewrite — current main actually does pause the listener during TTS (VoiceReceiver.pause() at discord.py:192); there is no barge_in_guard/barge_in_rms on main.

feat: provider modules — ProviderProfile ABC, 33 providers, fetch_models, transport single-path
Introduces providers/ package — single source of truth for every inference provider. Adding a simple api-key provider now requires one providers/<name>.py file with zero edits anywhere else. What this PR ships: - providers/ package (ProviderProfile ABC + 33 profiles across 4 api_modes) - ProviderProfile declarative fields: name, api_mode, aliases, display_name, env_vars, base_url, models_url, auth_type, fallback_models, hostname, default_headers, fixed_temperature, default_max_tokens, default_aux_model - 4 overridable hooks: prepare_messages, build_extra_body, build_api_kwargs_extras, fetch_models - chat_completions.build_kwargs: profile path via _build_kwargs_from_profile, legacy flag path retained for lmstudio/tencent-tokenhub (which have session-aware reasoning probing that doesn't map cleanly to hooks yet) - run_agent.py: profile path for all registered providers; legacy path variable scoping fixed (all flags defined before branching) - Auto-wires: auth.PROVIDER_REGISTRY, models.CANONICAL_PROVIDERS, doctor health checks, config.OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, model_metadata._URL_TO_PROVIDER - GeminiProfile: thinking_config translation (native + openai-compat nested) - New tests/providers/ (79 tests covering profile declarations, transport parity, hook overrides, e2e kwargs assembly) Deltas vs original PR (salvaged onto current main): - Added profiles: alibaba-coding-plan, azure-foundry, minimax-oauth (were added to main since original PR) - Skipped profiles: lmstudio, tencent-tokenhub stay on legacy path (their reasoning_effort probing has no clean hook equivalent yet) - Removed lmstudio alias from custom profile (it's a separate provider now) - Skipped openrouter/custom from PROVIDER_REGISTRY auto-extension (resolve_provider special-cases them; adding breaks runtime resolution) - runtime_provider: profile.api_mode only as fallback when URL detection finds nothing (was breaking minimax /v1 override) - Preserved main's legacy-path improvements: deepseek reasoning_content preserve, gemini Gemma skip, OpenRouter response caching, Anthropic 1M beta recovery, etc. - Kept agent/copilot_acp_client.py in place (rejected PR's relocation — main has 7 fixes landed since; relocation would revert them) - _API_KEY_PROVIDER_AUX_MODELS alias kept for backward compat with existing test imports Co-authored-by: kshitijk4poor <82637225+kshitijk4poor@users.noreply.github.com> Closes #14418 |

docs(tts): document per-provider max_text_length caps
PR #13743 replaced the global MAX_TEXT_LENGTH=4000 with a per-provider table and a user-override 'max_text_length:' key, but the user-guide TTS page documented no length behaviour at all. Users hitting truncation had no way to discover the new caps or the override. Add an 'Input length limits' subsection after the existing Configuration YAML block: provider default caps (Edge 5000 / OpenAI 4096 / xAI 15000 / MiniMax 10000 / Mistral 4000 / Gemini 5000 / ElevenLabs model-aware / NeuTTS,KittenTTS 2000), ElevenLabs model_id -> cap table (5k-40k), an override example, and the validation rules (non-positive / non-integer / boolean values fall through to the provider default). |

fix(skills): pin protects against deletion only, not edits (#20220)
Previously, pinning a skill blocked every skill_manage write action
(edit, patch, delete, write_file, remove_file). The 'hard fence'
design conflated two concerns:
1. Pin as deletion protection — don't let the curator archive
or the agent delete a stable skill.
2. Pin as content freeze — don't let the agent rewrite it mid-conversation.
In practice (1) is what users pin for: they want a skill to survive
curator passes. (2) created friction — agents finding a new pitfall
in a pinned skill had to ask the user to unpin, then the agent
patches, then the user re-pins. The dance discouraged skill
maintenance and pinned skills went stale.
This narrows the _pinned_guard to skill_manage(action='delete') only.
Patches, edits, and supporting-file writes go through on pinned
skills so the agent can keep improving them. The curator's own
pinned-skip behavior (agent/curator.py:271 for auto-archive,
line 349 for the LLM review prompt) is unchanged — curator still
never touches pinned skills.
Changes:
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: remove _pinned_guard calls from
_edit_skill, _patch_skill, _write_file, _remove_file; keep on
_delete_skill. Updated _pinned_guard docstring and error message.
- tools/skill_manager_tool.py: updated skill_manage model-facing tool
description to reflect the new semantic.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/curator.md: updated pinning
section.
- tests/tools/test_skill_manager_tool.py: flipped refuses-pinned
tests for edit/patch/write_file/remove_file into allowed-when-pinned;
kept test_delete_refuses_pinned (strengthened assertion to check the
'cannot be deleted' wording).
Closes #18354

docs: clarify that the Docker terminal backend is a single persistent container (#20003)
The docs were ambiguous about whether the Docker terminal backend spins up a fresh container per command or reuses a long-lived one. It's the latter — Hermes starts one container on first use and routes every terminal, file, and execute_code call through docker exec into that same container for the life of the process (across /new, /reset, and delegate_task subagents). Working-directory changes, installed packages, and files in /workspace persist from one tool call to the next, like a local shell. - configuration.md: lead the Docker Backend section with the persistence model before the YAML example; sharpen the Backend Overview table row. - features/tools.md: expand the Docker Backend block (previously just a 2-line YAML stub) with a clear statement of the persistent-container semantics and a pointer to the full lifecycle section. - docker.md: tighten the 'Docker as a terminal backend' bullet and the 'Skills and credential files' paragraph to call out the single-container model explicitly. |

docs(cron): lead with agent-driven setup for no-agent mode (#19871)
The shipped no-agent docs introduced the feature via CLI first and
mentioned the chat path as a two-line afterthought. That buries the
actual value prop: the cronjob tool exposes no_agent directly to the
agent, so a user can describe a watchdog in plain language and Hermes
wires up the script + schedule + delivery without anyone opening an
editor.
Changes:
* cron-script-only.md: promote 'Create One from Chat' above
'Create One from the CLI', flesh it out with a worked transcript
(the actual tool calls the agent makes), add subsections covering
'what the agent decides for you' (when to pick no_agent=True vs
LLM mode) and 'managing watchdogs from chat' (pause/resume/edit/
remove all agent-accessible).
* user-guide/features/cron.md:
- Add 'no-agent mode' to the top-level feature list with a cross-
link, plus a sentence up top making it clear everything is
agent-accessible through the cronjob tool.
- Add 'The agent sets these up for you' subsection to the no-agent
section showing the exact tool call shape.
* automate-with-cron.md: tighten the existing tip box to mention the
agent-driven path, not just CLI scheduling.
No behavior change — docs only.
