Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
The connector now depends on the single multiplexed gateway for per-profile
relay routing, so hosted deployments need to FORCE multiplexing on regardless
of the image's config.yaml. gateway.multiplex_profiles was config.yaml-only,
which a user could leave unset or flip off.
Add GATEWAY_MULTIPLEX_PROFILES as a standard operator override on top of the
existing config key — the same 'config.yaml is canonical, env is the operator
override' pattern the Telegram/Signal require_mention bridges use:
env (recognized token) > config.yaml (top-level or nested gateway.*) > False
- gateway/config.py: _env_multiplex_profiles_override() resolves the env var
tri-state — recognized truthy/falsy token → bool; unset/blank/unrecognized
→ None (fall through to config). Blank is deliberately None, not False, so a
provisioned-but-unpopulated Fly secret ('') can't shadow a config.yaml opt-in
(the empty-secret trap). Wired into GatewayConfig.from_dict so every consumer
(run.py, session.py via self.config) sees the resolved value.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: the named-profile-start guard
(_guard_named_profile_under_multiplexer) reads config.yaml directly, so it
gets the SAME env precedence — otherwise env-forced multiplex would leave the
guard blind and someone could start a conflicting per-profile gateway that
double-binds a bot token. Env-forced-on trips the guard even with no
config.yaml key; env-forced-off disables it over a config opt-in.
Tests: full 3-tier precedence in test_config.py (incl. the discriminating
env-overrides-config cases + the empty/whitespace/unrecognized fall-through
trap + resolver tri-state), mutation-verified (flipping precedence fails
exactly the two env-wins tests); guard env cases in test_multiplex_lifecycle.py.
Force-on is safe on a single-profile instance: session keys stay byte-identical
(agent:main) and the _run_agent wrapper installs the per-turn secret scope, so
the fail-closed get_secret() path is satisfied.
- _guard_named_profile_under_multiplexer: when the default gateway is running
with gateway.multiplex_profiles=on, a named-profile 'hermes gateway run' hard
-errors (pointing at the multiplexer) instead of double-binding that
profile's platforms. Inert unless all hold: this invocation is a named
profile, a default-profile gateway is alive, and its config has multiplexing
on. --force overrides. Wired into run_gateway's guard chain.
- write_runtime_status gains served_profiles: the secondary-adapter startup
records [active] + multiplexed profiles into runtime_status.json so
'hermes status' can show per-profile coverage without a second probe. Absent
for single-profile gateways.
Tests: served_profiles round-trips and is absent by default; guard is inert for
the default profile / under --force / when no default gateway is running.
