Follow-up widening of the /api/status fix: add get_nous_auth_status_local(),
a refresh-free auth-store snapshot (local invoke-JWT decode only), and use it
on the read-only display surfaces that previously called
get_nous_auth_status() -> resolve_nous_runtime_credentials() -> live OAuth
refresh POST:
- hermes_cli/status.py (hermes status auth-provider panel)
- hermes_cli/doctor.py (hermes doctor auth-provider checks)
- hermes_cli/portal_cli.py (hermes portal status display)
- hermes_cli/web_server.py /api/portal endpoint and the accounts-tab
provider card dispatcher (_resolve_provider_status nous branch)
Action paths (login flows, portal operations needing a live credential)
keep using get_nous_auth_status(). Part of NS-592.
Add the same managed-gateway UX that image_gen already has:
- TOOL_CATEGORIES['video_gen'] gets a 'Nous Subscription' provider row
with managed_nous_feature='video_gen' + video_gen_plugin_name='fal'
- NousSubscriptionFeatures gains a video_gen property + feature state
computation (managed/active/available using the fal-queue gateway)
- _GATEWAY_TOOL_LABELS, _GATEWAY_DIRECT_LABELS, _ALL_GATEWAY_KEYS,
_get_gateway_direct_credentials, opted_in all include video_gen
- apply_nous_managed_defaults and apply_gateway_defaults handle video_gen
- _is_toolset_satisfied checks Nous features for video_gen
- _is_provider_active detects managed video_gen (use_gateway + fal provider)
- _select_plugin_video_gen_provider accepts use_gateway kwarg, propagated
from all 4 call sites in _configure_provider when managed_feature is set
- hermes setup status shows 'Video Generation (FAL via Nous subscription)'
Users on a Nous subscription can now pick 'Nous Subscription' under
hermes tools → Video Generation, which sets video_gen.provider=fal +
video_gen.use_gateway=true. The FAL plugin's _resolve_managed_fal_video_gateway
then routes through the managed queue gateway — no FAL_KEY needed.
Add an official, production-grade WhatsApp integration via Meta's
Business Cloud API as a complement to the existing Baileys bridge.
No bridge subprocess, no QR codes, no account-ban risk — at the cost
of a Meta Business account and a public HTTPS webhook URL.
Setup is fully wizard-driven: 'hermes whatsapp-cloud' walks through
every credential with paste-time validation (catches the #1 trap of
pasting a phone number into the Phone Number ID field), generates a
verify token, and ends with copy-paste instructions for the
cloudflared / Meta-dashboard / Business Manager pieces that can't be
automated. The wizard also points users at Meta's Business Manager
for setting the bot's display name and profile picture.
Feature set:
- Inbound: text, images (with native-vision routing), voice notes
(STT), documents (small text inlined, larger cached), reply context.
- Outbound: text with WhatsApp-flavored markdown conversion, images,
videos, documents, opus voice notes via ffmpeg with MP3 fallback.
- Native interactive buttons for clarify, dangerous-command approval,
and slash-command confirmation flows — matches the Telegram /
Discord UX, graceful degrades to plain text.
- Read receipts (blue double-checkmarks) and typing indicator,
using Meta's combined endpoint so they fire in a single API call.
- Webhook security: X-Hub-Signature-256 HMAC verification (raw body,
constant-time), wamid deduplication, group-shaped-message refusal
(groups deferred to v2 — Baileys still covers them).
- Full integration with the gateway's session, cron, display-tier,
prompt-hint, and auth-allowlist systems. Cloud and Baileys can run
side-by-side against different phone numbers.
Also wires STT (speech-to-text) through Nous's managed audio gateway
for Nous subscribers — previously the default stt.provider=local
required a separate faster-whisper install. New subscribers now get
voice-note transcription out of the box.
Docs: 418-line user guide at website/docs/user-guide/messaging/
whatsapp-cloud.md, sidebar entry, environment-variables reference,
ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md updated with the optional interactive-UX
contract for future adapter authors.
Tests: 100 dedicated tests for the adapter, 32 for the setup wizard,
20 for the Nous subscription STT wiring, plus regression coverage
across display_config, prompt_builder, and the cron scheduler.
Known limitations (deferred until clear demand signal):
- Group chats — use the Baileys bridge if you need them.
- Message templates for 24-hour-window outside-conversation sends —
reactive chat is unaffected; cron / delegate_task with gaps > 24h
will fail with a clear error. The agent's system prompt warns the
model about this so it knows to mention it when scheduling delayed
messages.
Replace the HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env-var feature flag with
subscription-based detection. The Tool Gateway is now available to any
paid Nous subscriber without needing a hidden env var.
Core changes:
- managed_nous_tools_enabled() checks get_nous_auth_status() +
check_nous_free_tier() instead of an env var
- New use_gateway config flag per tool section (web, tts, browser,
image_gen) records explicit user opt-in and overrides direct API
keys at runtime
- New prefers_gateway(section) shared helper in tool_backend_helpers.py
used by all 4 tool runtimes (web, tts, image gen, browser)
UX flow:
- hermes model: after Nous login/model selection, shows a curses
prompt listing all gateway-eligible tools with current status.
User chooses to enable all, enable only unconfigured tools, or skip.
Defaults to Enable for new users, Skip when direct keys exist.
- hermes tools: provider selection now manages use_gateway flag —
selecting Nous Subscription sets it, selecting any other provider
clears it
- hermes status: renamed section to Nous Tool Gateway, added
free-tier upgrade nudge for logged-in free users
- curses_radiolist: new description parameter for multi-line context
that survives the screen clear
Runtime behavior:
- Each tool runtime (web_tools, tts_tool, image_generation_tool,
browser_use) checks prefers_gateway() before falling back to
direct env-var credentials
- get_nous_subscription_features() respects use_gateway flags,
suppressing direct credential detection when the user opted in
Removed:
- HERMES_ENABLE_NOUS_MANAGED_TOOLS env var and all references
- apply_nous_provider_defaults() silent TTS auto-set
- get_nous_subscription_explainer_lines() static text
- Override env var warnings (use_gateway handles this properly now)
* feat: switch managed browser provider from Browserbase to Browser Use
The Nous subscription tool gateway now routes browser automation through
Browser Use instead of Browserbase. This commit:
- Adds managed Nous gateway support to BrowserUseProvider (idempotency
keys, X-BB-API-Key auth header, external_call_id persistence)
- Removes managed gateway support from BrowserbaseProvider (now
direct-only via BROWSERBASE_API_KEY/BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID)
- Updates browser_tool.py fallback: prefers Browser Use over Browserbase
- Updates nous_subscription.py: gateway vendor 'browser-use', auto-config
sets cloud_provider='browser-use' for new subscribers
- Updates tools_config.py: Nous Subscription entry now uses Browser Use
- Updates setup.py, cli.py, status.py, prompt_builder.py display strings
- Updates all affected tests to match new behavior
Browserbase remains fully functional for users with direct API credentials.
The change only affects the managed/subscription path.
* chore: remove redundant Browser Use hint from system prompt
* fix: upgrade Browser Use provider to v3 API
- Base URL: api/v2 -> api/v3 (v2 is legacy)
- Unified all endpoints to use native Browser Use paths:
- POST /browsers (create session, returns cdpUrl)
- PATCH /browsers/{id} with {action: stop} (close session)
- Removed managed-mode branching that used Browserbase-style
/v1/sessions paths — v3 gateway now supports /browsers directly
- Removed unused managed_mode variable in close_session
* fix(browser-use): use X-Browser-Use-API-Key header for managed mode
The managed gateway expects X-Browser-Use-API-Key, not X-BB-API-Key
(which is a Browserbase-specific header). Using the wrong header caused
a 401 AUTH_ERROR on every managed-mode browser session create.
Simplified _headers() to always use X-Browser-Use-API-Key regardless
of direct vs managed mode.
* fix(nous_subscription): browserbase explicit provider is direct-only
Since managed Nous gateway now routes through Browser Use, the
browserbase explicit provider path should not check managed_browser_available
(which resolves against the browser-use gateway). Simplified to direct-only
with managed=False.
* fix(browser-use): port missing improvements from PR #5605
- CDP URL normalization: resolve HTTP discovery URLs to websocket after
cloud provider create_session() (prevents agent-browser failures)
- Managed session payload: send timeout=5 and proxyCountryCode=us for
gateway-backed sessions (prevents billing overruns)
- Update prompt builder, browser_close schema, and module docstring to
replace remaining Browserbase references with Browser Use
- Dynamic /browser status detection via _get_cloud_provider() instead
of hardcoded env var checks (future-proof for new providers)
- Rename post_setup key from 'browserbase' to 'agent_browser'
- Update setup hint to mention Browser Use alongside Browserbase
- Add tests: CDP normalization, browserbase direct-only guard,
managed browser-use gateway, direct browserbase fallback
