PR #15027 (5 days ago) shipped TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS as a chat-ID
allowlist. #17686 correctly renames that to sender user IDs and moves
chat IDs to TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS. Without a shim, any user on
PR #15027's guidance would silently start rejecting group traffic on
upgrade.
- gateway/run.py: in _is_user_authorized, if TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
contains values starting with '-' (chat-ID-shaped), honor them as chat
IDs and log a one-shot deprecation warning pointing users at the new
TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_CHATS var.
- tests/gateway/test_unauthorized_dm_behavior.py: three new tests cover
legacy chat-ID values authorizing the listed chat, not crossing to
other chats, and mixed sender/chat values in the same var.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md: rewrite the Group
Allowlisting section to document the new user/chat split + migration
note. Remove stale '/thread_id' suffix claim (code never parsed it).
- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md: document all three
Telegram allowlist env vars.
Salvage-follow-up to @shannonsands's /reload-skills PR. Trims the feature to
match the design: user-initiated rescan, no prompt-cache reset, no new
schema surface, no phantom user turn, and the next-turn note carries each
added/removed skill's 60-char description (not just its name).
Changes vs the original PR:
* Drop the in-process skills prompt-cache clear in reload_skills(). Skills
are invoked at runtime via /skill-name, skills_list, or skill_view —
they don't need to live in the system prompt for the model to use them.
Keeping the cache intact preserves prefix caching across the reload so
/reload-skills pays no cache-reset cost. (MCP has to break the cache
because tool schemas must be known at conversation start; skills do not.)
* Drop the skills_reload agent tool and SKILLS_RELOAD_SCHEMA from
tools/skills_tool.py, plus the four skills_reload enumerations in
toolsets.py. No new schema surface — agents can already see a freshly-
installed skill via skill_view / skills_list the moment it's on disk.
* Replace the phantom 'role: user' turn injection with a one-shot queued
note. CLI uses self._pending_skills_reload_note (same pattern as
_pending_model_switch_note, prepended to the next API call and cleared).
Gateway uses self._pending_skills_reload_notes[session_key]. The note
is prepended to the NEXT real user message in this session, so message
alternation stays intact and nothing out-of-band is persisted to the
transcript.
* reload_skills() now returns added/removed as
[{'name': str, 'description': str}, ...] (description truncated to 60
chars — matches the curator / gateway adapter budget). The injected
next-turn note formats each entry as 'name — description' so the model
can actually reason about which new skills to call without running
skills_list first.
* Only emit the note when the diff is non-empty. On empty diff, print
'No new skills detected' and do nothing else.
* Tests rewritten to cover the queue semantics, the description payload,
and a regression guard that the prompt-cache snapshot is preserved.
Adds a public reload path for the in-process skill caches so newly
installed (or removed) skills become visible mid-session without a
gateway restart. Mirrors the shape of /reload-mcp.
Three surfaces:
* /reload-skills slash command — CLI (cli.py) and gateway (gateway/run.py),
with /reload_skills alias for Telegram autocomplete and an explicit
Discord registration.
* skills_reload agent tool (tools/skills_tool.py) — lets agents/subagents
pick up freshly-installed skills via tool call.
* agent.skill_commands.reload_skills() — shared helper that clears
_skill_commands, _SKILLS_PROMPT_CACHE (in-process LRU), and the
on-disk .skills_prompt_snapshot.json, then returns an added/removed
diff plus the new total count.
Tested:
* tests/agent/test_skill_commands_reload.py (9 cases)
* tests/cli/test_cli_reload_skills.py (3 cases)
* tests/gateway/test_reload_skills_command.py (4 cases)
Use case: NemoClaw / OpenShell-style sandboxed orchestrators that drop
skills into ~/.hermes/skills mid-session, plus agentic flows where the
agent itself installs a skill via the shell tool and needs it bound
without a gateway restart. The Python helper
clear_skills_system_prompt_cache(clear_snapshot=True) already exists
internally — this PR just exposes it via slash command and tool.
Pull the top-level + chat parser construction out of main() into
hermes_cli/_parser.py so relaunch.py can introspect parser._actions to
discover which flags exist and whether they take values, instead of
maintaining a parallel hand-rolled (flag, takes_value) tuple list.
- _parser.py: build_top_level_parser() returns (parser, subparsers,
chat_parser); side-effect-free import.
- main.py: ~290 lines of inline parser construction collapsed to a
helper call. Other subparsers stay inline (dispatch is bound to
module-level cmd_* functions).
- _parser._inherited_flag(parser, ...): wraps parser.add_argument and
sets action.inherit_on_relaunch = True. Used in place of
parser.add_argument for the 25 flags (top-level + chat) that need to
carry over.
- _parser.PRE_ARGPARSE_INHERITED_FLAGS: holds --profile/-p, which
isn't on argparse (consumed earlier by main._apply_profile_override).
- relaunch.py: drops _CRITICAL_DESTS and _PRE_ARGPARSE_FLAGS; the table
builder now filters by getattr(action, 'inherit_on_relaunch', False).
- test_ignore_user_config_flags.py: brittle inspect.getsource grep
replaced with proper parser introspection.
- test_relaunch.py: introspection sanity tests added.
Salvaged from PR #17549; added top-level -t/--toolsets flag to
_parser.py so #17623 (fix(tui): honor launch toolsets) behavior is
preserved on current main.

Extract all os.execvp('hermes', ...) calls into a utility so flags like
--tui, --dev, --profile, --model, --provider, et al. survive session
resume and post-setup relaunch.
- resolve_hermes_bin: prefers sys.argv[0] when callable, then PATH,
then falls back to '${sys.executable} -m hermes_cli.main' (fixes nix
run relaunches)
- build_relaunch_argv: allowlists critical flags so they carry over
- cmd_sessions browse now calls relaunch(['--resume', <id>])
- _apply_profile_override skips redundant work when HERMES_HOME is
already set (child inherits parent profile)
- setup.py replaces _resolve_hermes_chat_argv with relaunch_chat()
- added comprehensive tests for flag extraction and binary resolution

If a concurrent RPC mutates _sessions while session.delete is iterating
it (e.g. a parallel session.create on the thread pool), the bare except
swallowed the RuntimeError and let the delete proceed against a row
that may still be live. Snapshot via list(_sessions.values()) and
return an error when even that raises, instead of treating "couldn't
check" as "no active sessions."
Pressing `d` on the highlighted row in the resume picker prompts
`delete? y/n`; `y` deletes the session (DB row + on-disk transcript
files), anything else cancels. The active session is excluded from
deletion server-side.
Adds a new `session.delete` JSON-RPC handler that wraps
`SessionDB.delete_session`, forwarding the per-profile `sessions/`
directory so transcripts get cleaned up alongside the row.
CI Tests workflow has been red on main for 40+ consecutive runs. This
commit recovers every failure visible in run 25130722163 (most recent
completed run prior to this PR).
Root causes, by group:
Test-mock drift after product landed (fix: update mocks)
- test_mcp_structured_content / test_mcp_dynamic_discovery (6 tests):
product added _rpc_lock (#02ae15222) and _schedule_tools_refresh
(#1350d12b0) without updating sibling test files. Install a real
asyncio.Lock inside the fake run-loop and patch at _schedule_tools_refresh.
- test_session.py: renamed normalize_whatsapp_identifier → canonical_
whatsapp_identifier upstream; keep a local alias so the legacy tests
keep working.
- test_run_progress_topics Slack DM test: PR #8006 made Slack default
tool_progress=off; explicitly set it to 'all' in the test fixture so
the progress-callback path still runs. Also read tool_progress_callback
at call time rather than freezing it in FakeAgent.__init__ — production
assigns it AFTER construction.
- test_tui_gateway_server session-create/close race: session.create now
defers _start_agent_build behind a 50ms timer — wait for the build
thread to enter _make_agent before closing, otherwise the orphan-
cleanup path never runs.
- test_protocol session.resume: product get_messages_as_conversation now
takes include_ancestors kwarg; accept **_kwargs in the test stub.
- test_copilot_acp_client redaction: redactor is OFF by default (snapshots
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS at import); patch agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED=True
for the duration of the test.
- test_minimax_provider: after #17171, dots in non-Anthropic model names
stay dots even with preserve_dots=False. Assert the new invariant
rather than the old 'broken for MiniMax' behavior.
- test_update_autostash: updater now scans `ps -A` for dashboard PIDs;
the test's catch-all subprocess.run stub needed stdout/stderr fields.
- test_accretion_caps: read_timestamps dict is populated lazily when
os.path.getmtime succeeds. Use .get("read_timestamps", {}) to tolerate
CI filesystems where the stat races file creation.
Change-detector tests (fix: rewrite as structural invariants)
- test_credential_sources_registry_has_expected_steps: was a frozen set
comparison that broke when minimax-oauth was added. Rewrite as an
invariant check (every step has description, no dupes, core steps
present) per AGENTS.md 'don't write change-detector tests'.
xdist ordering / test pollution (fix: reset state, use module-local patches)
- test_setup vercel: sibling test saved VERCEL_PROJECT_ID='project' to
os.environ via save_env_value() and never cleared it. monkeypatch.delenv
the VERCEL_* vars in the link-file test.
- test_clipboard TestIsWsl: GitHub Actions is on Azure VMs whose real
/proc/version often contains 'microsoft'. Patching builtins.open with
mock_open didn't reliably intercept hermes_constants.is_wsl's call in
xdist workers that had already cached _wsl_detected=True from an
earlier test. Patch hermes_constants.open directly and add
teardown_method to reset the cache after each test.
Pytest-asyncio cancellation hangs (fix: bound product await with timeout)
- test_session_split_brain_11016 (3 params) + test_gateway_shutdown
cancel-inflight: under pytest-asyncio 1.3.0, 'await task' and
'asyncio.gather(cancelled_tasks)' can stall for 30s when the cancelled
task's finally block awaits typing-task cleanup. Bound both with
asyncio.wait_for(..., timeout=5.0) and asyncio.shield — the stragglers
are released from adapter tracking and allowed to finish unwinding in
the background. This is also a legitimate hardening: a wedged finally
shouldn't stall the caller's dispatch or a gateway shutdown.
Orphan UI config (fix: merge tiny tab into messaging category)
- test_web_server test_no_single_field_categories: the telegram.reactions
config field lived in its own 'telegram' schema category with no
siblings. Fold it under 'discord' via _CATEGORY_MERGE so the dashboard
doesn't render an orphan single-field tab.
Local verification: 38/38 originally-failing tests pass; 4044/4044
gateway tests pass; 684/684 targeted subset (all 16 touched test files)
passes.
* fix(tui): offload manual compaction RPC
Route TUI session compression through the existing long-handler pool so slow compaction does not block other gateway RPCs.
* fix(tui): show compaction progress immediately
Print a local status line before the compress RPC starts so slow manual compaction does not look like a no-op.
* feat(tui): rich /compress feedback parity with CLI
Show pre-compaction message count and rough token estimate immediately, emit a status update so the bottom bar reflects ongoing compaction, and report a multi-line summary (headline + token delta + optional note) using the shared summarize_manual_compression helper.
* fix(tui): show live compaction estimate in transcript
Mirror compression progress status into the transcript so users see the backend message count and token estimate while /compress is still running.
* fix(tui): single live compaction line with spinner glyph
Drop the redundant local "compressing context..." placeholder and prefix the live backend status line with a braille spinner glyph so /compress reads as a single in-progress row.
* fix(tui): address review nits on /compress feedback
Reuse the precomputed token estimate inside _compress_session_history so the gateway does not redo the O(n) work while holding history_lock, keep the status bar pinned during long manual compactions instead of auto-restoring after 4s, and drop the redundant noop bullet that doubled with the system role glyph.
* fix(tui): release history_lock during compaction LLM call
Move the snapshot/commit pattern into _compress_session_history so the lock is held only across the in-memory bookkeeping, not during agent._compress_context. Also emit a final neutral status update from session.compress so the pinned compressing indicator clears even on errors.
* fix(tui): rebuild prompt cleanly + sync session_key after compress
Pass system_message=None so AIAgent._compress_context rebuilds the system prompt without nesting the cached identity block. Reuse the handler's pre-snapshotted history inside _compress_session_history to avoid a second O(n) copy under the lock. After compaction, when AIAgent._compress_context rotates session_id, sync the gateway session_key, migrate approval notify + yolo state, restart the slash worker, and clear the stale pending title. Mirrors HermesCLI._manual_compress.
* Avoid /compress lock re-entry in slash side effects.
Stop pre-locking history before _compress_session_history in slash command mirroring, keep session-key sync parity with manual compression, and add a regression test that asserts /compress is invoked without holding history_lock.
* fix(tui): honor launch toolsets
Carry chat --toolsets through the TUI launcher so TUI sessions use the same per-session tool scope as the classic CLI.
* fix(tui): parse top-level toolsets flag
Allow top-level hermes --tui --toolsets to reach the implicit chat session, matching chat subcommand behavior.
* fix(tui): validate launch toolsets
Filter invalid HERMES_TUI_TOOLSETS entries and fall back to configured CLI toolsets when the override contains no valid toolsets.
* fix(tui): avoid config load for builtin toolsets
Honor built-in HERMES_TUI_TOOLSETS values before loading config and treat all/* as the all-toolsets sentinel.
* fix(cli): honor toolsets in oneshot mode
Forward top-level --toolsets into oneshot agent construction so the flag is not silently ignored outside the TUI path.
* fix(cli): validate oneshot toolsets
Reject invalid-only oneshot toolset overrides before output redirection and clarify TUI fallback warnings.
* fix(cli): preserve all-toolsets sentinel
Map explicit all/* oneshot toolset overrides to the all-toolsets sentinel and replace locals() checks in TUI toolset loading.
* fix(cli): warn on extra all-toolset entries
Warn when all/* toolset overrides include additional ignored entries so typos are still visible.
* fix(tui): honor plugin toolset overrides
Discover plugin toolsets before rejecting unresolved explicit toolset overrides and read raw config for MCP name validation.
* fix(tui): reuse toolset argument normalizer
Share top-level TUI toolset argument parsing with the oneshot path to avoid duplicate normalization logic.
* fix(cli): reject disabled mcp toolsets
Validate explicit toolset overrides against enabled MCP servers only and clarify top-level toolset flag help.
* fix(cli): distinguish disabled mcp from unknown toolsets
Report disabled MCP servers separately from unknown toolset entries and stub plugin discovery in invalid-name tests for determinism.
shutil.copytree from default ~/.hermes duplicated ~/.hermes/profiles into

Made-with: Cursor
The skip_pre_tool_call_hook flag was added to prevent double-firing of
pre_tool_call when run_agent._invoke_tool pre-checks for a block
directive and then dispatches via handle_function_call. But the
implementation added an else: branch that fired invoke_hook again for
'observers', without noticing that get_pre_tool_call_block_message() in
hermes_cli.plugins already fires invoke_hook('pre_tool_call', ...) as
part of its block-directive poll.
Result: every tool call ran through the run_agent loop fired the hook
twice — reported by community users whose observer / audit plugins
logged each tool invocation twice with identical timestamps.
Fix: delete the else: branch. The single-fire contract is now:
- skip=False (direct handle_function_call): hook fires once inside
get_pre_tool_call_block_message().
- skip=True (run_agent._invoke_tool path): caller fires the hook
once via get_pre_tool_call_block_message(); handle_function_call
must not fire it again.
Tightened the existing skip-flag test (renamed to
test_skip_flag_prevents_double_fire) to assert pre_tool_call fires
zero times when skip=True, and added
test_run_agent_pattern_fires_pre_tool_call_exactly_once to lock in
end-to-end that the full block-check + dispatch sequence fires the
hook exactly once.
Extend curator's pin flag from 'skip auto-transitions' to 'no agent
edits at all'. All five skill_manage mutation actions (edit, patch,
delete, write_file, remove_file) now refuse pinned skills with a
message pointing the user at `hermes curator unpin <name>`.
Motivation: pin used to only stop the curator's own maintenance pass
from touching a skill. Nothing prevented the main agent from editing
or deleting a pinned skill via skill_manage in-session. This gives
users a hard fence against unwanted agent edits — same semantics as
curator pinning, extended to the write tool.
Create is unaffected (you can't pin a name that doesn't exist yet,
and name collisions already error out). Broken sidecars fail open
rather than lock the agent out.
The schema description advertises the new refusal so models know
not to route around it with rename/recreate tricks.
compute_next_run() ignored the last_run_at parameter for cron-type
schedules, always computing from _hermes_now() instead. This was
inconsistent with interval jobs which DO use last_run_at as the anchor.
After a crash or restart, cron jobs would compute next_run_at from
the arbitrary restart time rather than the actual last execution time.
While the stale detection in get_due_jobs() catches most cases, using
last_run_at as the croniter base eliminates edge cases and makes the
behavior consistent across schedule types.
Salvaged from #9014 (authored by @beenherebefore) onto current main.
The original PR branch was 2+ weeks stale and would have reverted
substantial unrelated work (jobs_file_lock, workdir/context_from/
enabled_toolsets, issue #16265 state=error recovery). Kept just the
7-line substantive fix and the regression test.
Bare `float(os.getenv("HERMES_CRON_TIMEOUT", 600))` in `run_job()` raises
a `ValueError` when the env var is set to a non-numeric string (e.g. "abc").
Replace it with the same defensive try/except pattern already used by
`_get_script_timeout()` for `HERMES_CRON_SCRIPT_TIMEOUT`: log a warning
and fall back to the 600 s default instead of crashing.
Also update the existing env-var tests to exercise the new code path and
add two new tests — one for an invalid value, one for an empty string.

Closes#4759, closes#4381.
Mutating actions (patch, edit, write_file, remove_file, delete) used to
refuse skills that lived under `skills.external_dirs` with 'Skill X is in
an external directory and cannot be modified. Copy it to your local skills
directory first.' Faced with that error, the agent would fall back to
action='create', which always writes under ~/.hermes/skills/ — producing
a silent duplicate of the external skill in the local store.
Fix: drop the read-only gate. `skills.external_dirs` is configured by the
user; if they pointed it at a directory, they already said 'these are my
skills, treat them the same.' Filesystem permissions handle the genuine
read-only case (write fails, agent sees the error).
- New _containing_skills_root() resolves whichever dir actually contains
the skill; _delete_skill uses it to bound empty-category cleanup so an
external root is never rmdir'd.
- _create_skill behavior is unchanged: new skills still land in local
SKILLS_DIR only. Fewer moving parts.
- Seven new TestExternalSkillMutations tests covering patch/edit/write_file/
remove_file/delete/create against a mocked two-root layout + a category
rmdir-safety check.
When a user authenticates a built-in provider via env var (e.g. DASHSCOPE_API_KEY
triggers the built-in 'alibaba' row) AND defines a custom_providers entry
pointing at the same endpoint, the picker previously emitted two rows for one
endpoint. The built-in row already carries the canonical slug, curated model
list, and correct auth wiring, so the shadow custom entry is redundant.
Adds a _builtin_endpoints set populated as sections 1/2/2b emit rows. Each
entry is the provider's effective base URL (env override via base_url_env_var
wins over the static inference_base_url, so DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL-overridden
endpoints dedup correctly). Section 4 skips any grouped custom entry whose
base_url matches.
Intentionally does NOT repurpose model_catalog.enabled as a 'hide built-ins'
flag. That config controls the remote curated-manifest fetch (documented on
the model-catalog reference page) and overloading it would silently change
behavior for users who disable it for network/privacy reasons.
Three new tests:
- shadow dedup fires when endpoint matches static inference_base_url
- dedup does NOT hide custom entries on genuinely distinct endpoints
- dedup honors the base_url_env_var override path
Covers the #16748 fix:
- unsigned thinking blocks synthesised from reasoning_content survive replay
- non-latest assistant turns keep their thinking (DeepSeek validates every turn)
- signed Anthropic blocks are stripped (DeepSeek can't validate them)
- cache_control is stripped from thinking blocks
- OpenAI-compat base (api.deepseek.com without /anthropic) is NOT matched
- non-DeepSeek third parties (minimax) keep the generic strip-all behaviour
Follow-up to the cherry-picked PR #17447. The original flush spawned a
bare threading.Thread for the buffer-flush path, overwriting
self._sync_thread — which is aliased to the long-lived writer thread.
Two consequences:
1. No serialization with the writer queue. If old-session retains were
still queued in _retain_queue, the flush ran concurrently with the
writer and both threads could call aretain_batch against the same
document_id.
2. The pre-spawn 'self._sync_thread.join(timeout=5.0)' tried to join the
long-lived writer, which never exits, so the join was a no-op that
just timed out — never actually serialized anything.
Fix: enqueue the flush closure on _retain_queue via _ensure_writer +
put(). Natural FIFO ordering behind any pending retains, no new thread,
no broken join. Shutdown-aware so it doesn't enqueue after teardown.
Tests updated to drain via _retain_queue.join() instead of the stale
_sync_thread.join(). Added regression guard
test_flush_serializes_behind_pending_retains_via_writer_queue that
blocks the writer mid-retain to prove the flush waits in FIFO behind
the old retain.
Also seeds _retain_queue / _shutting_down / stubbed _ensure_writer on
the bare-object test helper in test_memory_session_switch.py so that
path doesn't blow up under the new queue-enqueue.
tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py + tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: 103/103 passing.
Two data-loss / leak gaps in HindsightMemoryProvider.on_session_switch
introduced by #17409.
1. Buffered turns silently lost when retain_every_n_turns > 1.
on_session_switch unconditionally cleared _session_turns without
flushing. Users who batched every N>1 turns and switched mid-batch
(/reset, /new, /resume, /branch, or context compression) had those
buffered turns disappear. Same data-loss class as the shutdown race,
different lifecycle event.
Note commit_memory_session() -> on_session_end() runs *before*
on_session_switch on /reset, but Hindsight doesn't implement
on_session_end so the buffer survives that step and dies at clear
time. /resume, /branch, and compression skip commit_memory_session
entirely so an on_session_end impl wouldn't help them anyway.
Fix: snapshot the old _session_id, _document_id, _parent_session_id,
_turn_index, and _session_turns; spawn one final retain that lands
under the OLD document_id; then rotate state. Metadata is built
synchronously against the old self._* so session_id / lineage tags
on the flushed item all reference the prior session consistently.
2. Stale _prefetch_result leaks across switch.
If queue_prefetch ran in the old session and the result hadn't been
consumed by prefetch() yet, on_session_switch left the cached recall
text in place. The next session's first prefetch() call would return
text mined from the prior session's bank/query.
Fix: join any in-flight _prefetch_thread (3s bounded — matches
shutdown()), then clear _prefetch_result under _prefetch_lock before
rotating session_id.
Tests
-----
- tests/plugins/memory/test_hindsight_provider.py (TestSessionSwitchBufferFlush):
- buffered turns flushed under OLD document_id with OLD lineage tags
- empty buffer => no spurious retain
- _prefetch_result cleared on switch
- in-flight prefetch thread is awaited before clear (no race)
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: factory extended to seed the
attrs the new flush path reads (_retain_source, _platform, _bank_id,
prefetch state, etc.) and stub _run_hindsight_operation so existing
switch-state assertions keep passing without network setup.
The ~/.openclaw/ detection banner (#16327) had two problems flagged in #16629:
1. It only pitched 'hermes claw cleanup' (destructive archive) and never
mentioned 'hermes claw migrate' — the actual non-destructive path that
ports config/memory/skills into Hermes.
2. The copy anthropomorphized the bug ('the agent can still get confused',
'dutifully reads') and framed OpenClaw as a competitor to eliminate
('instead of Hermes's').
Rewrite so migrate leads, cleanup is a clearly-labelled follow-up with a
warning that archiving breaks OpenClaw for users still running it.
Closes#16629
Address Copilot review on PR #16666:
1. **Duplicate event on every tool start** — both ``tool_progress_callback``
and ``tool_start_callback`` fire side-by-side in ``run_agent.py``, so
wiring both into chat completions emitted *two* ``hermes.tool.progress``
events per real tool call. Drop the legacy ``_on_tool_progress`` emit
entirely; ``_on_tool_start`` now produces a single unified event that
carries the legacy ``tool``/``emoji``/``label`` fields plus the new
``toolCallId``/``status`` correlation fields. Label is computed inline
via ``build_tool_preview`` so callers do not need to pre-format it.
2. **Weak per-event correlation in the regression test** — the previous
assertion checked that a ``toolCallId`` appeared *somewhere* in the
aggregate, which would have passed even if ``running`` lacked the id.
Collect ``(status, toolCallId)`` per event and assert each event
carries the correct pair, plus exactly two events on the wire (no
silent duplication regression).
The two existing chat-completions tool-progress tests are updated to fire
``tool_start_callback`` instead of ``tool_progress_callback``, matching
production reality where ``run_agent`` always pairs them.

Adds Vercel Sandbox as a supported Hermes terminal backend alongside
existing providers (Local, Docker, Modal, SSH, Daytona, Singularity).
Uses the Vercel Python SDK to create/manage cloud microVMs, supports
snapshot-based filesystem persistence keyed by task_id, and integrates
with the existing BaseEnvironment shell contract and FileSyncManager
for credential/skill syncing.
Based on #17127 by @scotttrinh, cherry-picked onto current main.
Adds two API server endpoints for external UIs and orchestrators:
- GET /v1/capabilities — machine-readable feature discovery so clients
can detect which Runs API / SSE / auth features this Hermes version
supports before depending on them.
- GET /v1/runs/{run_id} — pollable run status so dashboards can check
queued/running/completed/failed/cancelled/stopping state without
holding an SSE connection open.
Also moves request validation ahead of run allocation so invalid
payloads no longer leave orphaned entries in _run_streams waiting for
the TTL sweep.
task_id is intentionally kept as "default" for the Runs API to
preserve the shared-sandbox model used by CLI, gateway, and the
existing _run_agent_with_callbacks path. session_id is surfaced in
run status for external-UI correlation only.
Salvage of PR #17085 by @Magaav.
The guard that drops Anthropic's `thinking` kwarg for Kimi endpoints was
matched on `https://api.kimi.com/coding` only. Users configuring a
custom Kimi-compatible gateway (or an official Moonshot host) with
`api_mode: anthropic_messages` fall through to the generic third-party
path, which strips thinking blocks AND still sends
`thinking={enabled,...}` → upstream rejects with HTTP 400
"reasoning_content is missing in assistant tool call message at index N"
on the next request after a tool call.
Replace `_is_kimi_coding_endpoint` callers (history replay + thinking
kwarg gate) with `_is_kimi_family_endpoint(base_url, model)` that also
matches the `api.kimi.com` / `moonshot.ai` / `moonshot.cn` hosts and
Kimi/Moonshot family model names (`kimi-`, `moonshot-`, `k1.`, `k2.`,
…) for custom / proxied endpoints. Keeps the UA-header check in
`build_anthropic_client` URL-only — the `claude-code/0.1.0` header is
an official-Kimi contract.
Plumbs optional `model` through `convert_messages_to_anthropic` so
the unsigned reasoning_content→thinking block synthesised for Kimi's
history validation survives the third-party signature-stripping pass
on custom hosts too.
Closes#17057.
The cron schema contracts deliver as a string ("local", "origin",
"telegram", "telegram:chat_id[:thread_id]", or comma-separated combos),
but MCP clients and scripts sometimes pass an array like ['telegram'].
Before this change, the list was written to jobs.json verbatim, and
the scheduler's str(deliver).split(',') then tried to resolve the
literal string "['telegram']" as a platform — returning None and
logging 'no delivery target resolved for deliver=[\'telegram\']'.
Fix on both ends:
- tools/cronjob_tools.py: normalize deliver at the API boundary on
create and update, so storage is always a string.
- cron/scheduler.py: normalize deliver in _resolve_delivery_targets,
so existing jobs.json entries with list-form deliver are handled
gracefully without requiring users to edit the file.
Closes#17139
The plugin used to spawn one daemon thread per sync_turn() to do the
aretain_batch network write. On CLI exit, that pattern raced interpreter
shutdown — the last retain could reach aiohttp after asyncio's
"cannot schedule new futures" guard had fired, producing noisy logs and
silently losing the final unsaved turn:
WARNING ... Hindsight sync failed: cannot schedule new futures after
interpreter shutdown
ERROR asyncio: Unclosed client session
client_session: <aiohttp.client.ClientSession object at 0x...>
Switch to a single-writer model: each provider owns one long-lived
writer thread plus a queue. sync_turn() snapshots state and enqueues a
job; the writer drains sequentially. Once shutdown() is called:
- new sync_turn() / queue_prefetch() calls are dropped, not enqueued
- a sentinel wakes the writer so it finishes in-flight work
- shutdown joins the writer (10s) before nulling the client
Also register an idempotent atexit hook from the first sync_turn(), so
exit paths that don't go through MemoryManager.shutdown_all() (Ctrl-C,
abrupt exit) still get a chance to drain.
Tests: keep _sync_thread as a legacy alias to the writer, swap join()
calls to _retain_queue.join() (canonical wait-for-drain), add a new
TestShutdownRace suite covering single-writer reuse, post-shutdown drop,
queue draining, and shutdown idempotency.
Two fix-ups for #17123:
1. Reword the inline comment in `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes` to
accurately describe the failure mode (locale-dependent decoder, not a
"default UTF-8 decoder") and identify `errors="ignore"` as the
load-bearing protection. Per Copilot's review.
2. Switch `TestWindowsWmicEncoding` from `patch("hermes_cli.main.sys")`
to `monkeypatch.setattr(sys, "platform", "win32")` — the codebase's
canonical pattern (e.g. `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_ssl_macos.py`).
The MagicMock-replacement approach passed locally on Python 3.12 but
the platform-equality check failed under CI's xdist+Python 3.11,
leaving both new tests red despite the fix being present.

`hermes update` calls `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes()` to warn about
dashboard processes still running the pre-update Python backend. On
Windows, that scan shells out to `wmic process get ProcessId,CommandLine
/FORMAT:LIST` with `text=True` and no explicit encoding.
`wmic` emits text in the system code page (e.g. cp936 on zh-CN locales),
not UTF-8. Without an explicit `encoding=`, Python's default UTF-8
decoder crashes the subprocess reader thread with
`UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 ...`. In
Python 3.11 that crash is silently absorbed: `subprocess.run()` returns
a `CompletedProcess` with `result.stdout = None`, the next line calls
`result.stdout.split("\n")`, and `hermes update` aborts with the
exact `AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'`
trace reported in #17049.
Fix: pass `encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore"` so undecodable bytes
cannot take down the reader thread (the parsing only matches the ASCII
prefixes `CommandLine=` and `ProcessId=`, so dropping non-UTF-8 bytes
is safe), and short-circuit when `result.stdout is None` as a defensive
guard for environments where the reader thread still fails for other
reasons.
This is the same root cause as #17074 (which patches
`hermes_cli/gateway._scan_gateway_pids` for the `hermes setup` path).
That PR does not touch `_warn_stale_dashboard_processes`, so
`hermes update` remains broken on the same locales until this lands.
Regression test in `tests/hermes_cli/test_update_stale_dashboard.py`:
- `test_wmic_invoked_with_utf8_ignore_errors` asserts the explicit
encoding/errors kwargs reach `subprocess.run`.
- `test_wmic_returns_none_stdout_does_not_crash` simulates the
reader-thread-crashed `result.stdout=None` aftermath and asserts the
function returns silently instead of raising AttributeError.
Both new tests fail against clean origin/main (7d4648461) reproducing
the original AttributeError; both pass with this patch. The remaining
3 failures in `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update.py` and
`test_update_autostash.py` are pre-existing baselines on origin/main —
they reproduce identically without this change and are unrelated to
the wmic scan.

Widen #17163 to the sibling file tools/transcription_tools.py, which had
the same class of bug. STT provider call sites and the _get_provider
selection gate called os.getenv(...) directly and missed keys that only
lived in ~/.hermes/.env.
Same pattern as tts_tool.py: one guarded top-level import of
get_env_value (falls back to os.getenv on ImportError), then every
API-key and paired-base-URL lookup swapped over.
Call sites migrated:
- _transcribe_groq — GROQ_API_KEY
- _transcribe_mistral — MISTRAL_API_KEY
- _transcribe_xai — XAI_API_KEY, XAI_STT_BASE_URL
- _get_provider — GROQ/MISTRAL/XAI_API_KEY in explicit + auto branches
Module-level defaults (DEFAULT_STT_MODEL, GROQ_BASE_URL, etc.) stay on
os.getenv — they're import-time constants, not runtime config, and the
dotenv fallback would add no value there.
New regression tests in tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py
(8 cases) mirror briandevans' TTS tests: per-provider dotenv-key
forwarding, selection-gate dotenv visibility, and an end-to-end probe
that patches hermes_cli.config.load_env to simulate ~/.hermes/.env
carrying the key while os.environ does not.
Wrap the new top-level `from hermes_cli.config import get_env_value`
in try/except ImportError and fall back to a thin os.getenv shim, so
importing tools.tts_tool keeps working in environments where
hermes_cli.config is unavailable. This matches the existing tolerance
in `_load_tts_config()` (tools/tts_tool.py) and the same
import-fallback pattern in tools/tool_backend_helpers.py::fal_key_is_configured.
Also update the TestDotenvFallbackPerProvider docstring to accurately
describe the mocking strategy: per-provider tests patch
`tools.tts_tool.get_env_value` directly, while the regression-guard
tests cover the lower-level `hermes_cli.config.load_env` integration.
Addresses Copilot review on #17163.

TTS provider tools (elevenlabs, xai, minimax, mistral, gemini) called
os.getenv("X_API_KEY") directly, which bypassed Hermes's dotenv bridge in
hermes_cli.config. Users who keep their TTS keys only in ~/.hermes/.env saw
"X_API_KEY not set" errors even though the rest of the stack
(agent/credential_pool, hermes_cli/auth) already resolves keys through
get_env_value() — same class of bug as #15914 fixed for those modules.
Switch every TTS env-var lookup (API keys, base URLs, and
check_tts_requirements gates) to get_env_value, which checks os.environ
first and then ~/.hermes/.env. Behaviour for users with keys exported in
the shell is unchanged; users with dotenv-only keys now succeed. The two
diagnostics prints in __main__ are migrated for consistency.
Regression test (tests/tools/test_tts_dotenv_fallback.py):
- per-provider: each backend reads the dotenv key when only
~/.hermes/.env carries it (5 providers).
- end-to-end: with hermes_cli.config.load_env returning the key and
os.environ empty, _generate_minimax_tts and check_tts_requirements
both succeed; reverting tools/tts_tool.py back to os.getenv makes all
7 tests fail with "MINIMAX_API_KEY not set" / similar.

* docs(anthropic): correct OAuth scope to Max plan + extra usage credits only
The previous docs pass (#17399) overstated what Anthropic OAuth works
with. In practice Hermes can only route against a Claude Max plan that
has purchased extra usage credits — the base Max allowance is not
consumed, and Claude Pro is not supported at all. Without Max + extra
credits, users must fall back to an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (pay-per-token).
Updates the four pages touched in #17399:
- integrations/providers.md
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md
- reference/environment-variables.md
- getting-started/quickstart.md
* fix(aux): skip kimi-coding in vision auto-detect (closes#17076)
Kimi Coding Plan's /coding endpoint (Anthropic Messages wire) has no
image_in capability — Kimi's own docs confirm and suggest switching to
a vision-capable model. Vision lives on the separate Kimi Platform
(api.moonshot.ai, OpenAI-wire, pay-as-you-go). When the user has
kimi-coding as main provider and auxiliary.vision.provider=auto,
resolve_vision_provider_client was handing back an AnthropicAuxiliaryClient
wrapped around /coding which 404'd on every vision request.
Add a _PROVIDERS_WITHOUT_VISION frozenset ({kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn})
and gate the main-provider vision branch on membership. On a skip the
auto-detect falls through to OpenRouter → Nous like any other
main-provider-unavailable case.
Explicit per-task overrides (auxiliary.vision.provider=kimi-coding) are
unaffected — the skip only applies when the caller is in auto mode.
Tests: 4 new targeted tests in TestVisionAutoSkipsKimiCoding covering
the skip path, CN variant, explicit-override passthrough, and a guard
against accidental skip-list widening.
Regression test for the ret=-2 / errmsg='unknown error' disambiguation:
- ret=-2 or errcode=-2 with 'unknown error' → stale session (True)
- ret=-2 with 'freq limit' or other errmsg → rate limit (False)
- ret=-14 → not matched here (handled by SESSION_EXPIRED_ERRCODE path)
- Success codes and missing errmsg → False
_run_async() bridges sync tool handlers to async code. When the handler
is invoked from inside a running event loop (gateway / nested async),
it spawns a worker thread and blocks on future.result(timeout=300).
Before this change, a coroutine that ran past 300s leaked its worker
thread:
- future.cancel() is a no-op on a running ThreadPoolExecutor future
(cancel only works on not-yet-started work).
- pool.shutdown(wait=False, cancel_futures=True) let the caller
proceed but the worker kept running the coroutine until it
returned on its own.
Every tool timeout leaked one thread. In long-lived gateway / RL
sessions this is cumulative.
The fix replaces bare asyncio.run() with a worker wrapper that
creates its own event loop. On timeout, _run_async schedules
task.cancel() on that loop via call_soon_threadsafe, then shuts the
pool down with wait=False so the caller returns immediately. The
coroutine observes CancelledError at its next await and the worker
thread exits cleanly.
Also switches logger.error() to logger.exception() in the top-level
handle_function_call() except block so tool failures produce full
stack traces in errors.log instead of just the message.
Related: #17420 (contributor flagged the leak; the original fix used
pool.shutdown(wait=True) which would have converted the leak into a
hang — caller blocks forever on the same stuck coroutine). Credit
for identifying the leak goes to the contributor.

Wrap each adapter.connect() in asyncio.wait_for() so one platform hanging
during startup or reconnect cannot block the others. Telegram's 8-retry
connect loop (~140s worst case) previously prevented Feishu from ever
starting when Telegram was network-restricted — common for users in
regions where Telegram is blocked.
Default timeout is 30s; override via HERMES_GATEWAY_PLATFORM_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
(0 disables). Applied to both startup and the reconnect watcher so a
platform that hangs mid-retry also does not stall retries for others.
Fixes#17242
When a background terminal process spawns a descendant daemon that
inherits the stdout pipe (e.g. 'hermes update' triggering a gateway
systemctl restart), the reader thread's stdout.read() never returns EOF
and its finally: block never runs. session.exited stays False forever,
so process(action='poll') returns 'running' indefinitely even though
the direct child exited long ago.
Issue #17327: Feishu user polled 74 times over 7 minutes before killing
the gateway manually.
Fix: add _reconcile_local_exit() that checks the direct Popen.poll()
before trusting session.exited. If the direct child has exited, drain
any immediately-readable bytes non-blocking and flip session.exited.
Called from poll() and wait(). The stuck reader thread remains blocked
but is a daemon thread and gets reaped with the process.
Safe no-op for env/PTY sessions, already-exited sessions, and live
children (returns None from Popen.poll()).
Fixes#6672
Memory providers now receive on_session_switch() whenever AIAgent.session_id
rotates mid-process — /resume, /branch, /reset, /new, and context
compression. Before this, providers that cached per-session state in
initialize() (Hindsight's _session_id, _document_id, accumulated
_session_turns, _turn_counter) kept writing into the old session's
record after the agent had moved on.
MemoryProvider ABC
------------------
- New optional hook on_session_switch(new_session_id, *,
parent_session_id='', reset=False, **kwargs) with no-op default for
backward compat. reset=True signals /reset or /new — providers should
flush accumulated per-session buffers. reset=False for /resume,
/branch, compression where the logical conversation continues.
MemoryManager
-------------
- on_session_switch() fans the hook out to every registered provider.
Isolated try/except per provider — one bad provider can't block others.
- Empty/None new_session_id is a no-op to avoid corrupting provider state
during shutdown paths.
run_agent.py
------------
- _sync_external_memory_for_turn now passes session_id=self.session_id
into sync_all() and queue_prefetch_all(). Providers with defensive
session_id updates in sync_turn (Hindsight already had this at
plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py:1199) now actually receive the
current id.
- Compression block at ~L8884 already notified the context engine of
the rollover; now also calls
_memory_manager.on_session_switch(reason='compression').
cli.py
------
- new_session() fires reset=True, reason='new_session' so providers
flush buffers.
- _handle_resume_command fires reset=False, reason='resume' with the
previous session as parent_session_id.
- _handle_branch_command fires reset=False, reason='branch' with the
parent session_id already captured for the DB parent link.
gateway/run.py
--------------
- _handle_resume_command now evicts the cached AIAgent, mirroring
/branch and /reset. The next message rebuilds a fresh agent whose
memory provider initialize() runs with the correct session_id —
matches the pattern the gateway already uses for provider state
cross-session transitions.
Hindsight reference implementation
----------------------------------
- plugins/memory/hindsight/__init__.py adds on_session_switch that:
updates _session_id, mints a fresh _document_id (prevents
vectorize-io/hindsight#1303 overwrite), and clears _session_turns /
_turn_counter / _turn_index so in-flight batches don't flush under
the new document id. parent_session_id only overwritten when provided
(avoids clobbering on a bare switch).
Tests
-----
- tests/agent/test_memory_session_switch.py: new dedicated file. ABC
default no-op, manager fan-out, failure isolation, empty-id no-op,
session_id propagation through sync_all/queue_prefetch_all, Hindsight
state transitions for every reset/non-reset case, parent preservation.
- tests/cli/test_branch_command.py: new test verifying /branch fires
the hook with correct parent_session_id + reset=False + reason.
- tests/gateway/test_resume_command.py: new test verifying /resume
evicts the cached agent.
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_sync_interrupted.py: updated existing
assertions to account for the session_id kwarg on sync_all and
queue_prefetch_all.
E2E verified (real imports, tmp HERMES_HOME):
- /resume: session_id updates, doc_id fresh, buffers cleared, parent set
- /branch: session_id forks, parent links to original
- /new: reset=True clears accumulated state
- compression: reason='compression' propagated, lineage preserved
- Empty id: no-op, state preserved
- Legacy provider without on_session_switch: no crash
