Same sibling-mock class as the relay-metrics runtime file — this test
stubs the telemetry gate's config read, which now goes through
read_raw_config_readonly(). Swept the whole test tree for remaining
read_raw_config stubs: all others target consumers that still use the
mutable reader (browser config, url_safety, inventory) and carry no
telemetry keys.
enabled() now reads via read_raw_config_readonly(); the 7 monkeypatch/
patch sites in test_relay_shared_metrics_runtime.py that stubbed
hermes_cli.config.read_raw_config no longer intercepted the read,
failing 18 tests on CI slice 7/8. Repro'd locally, retargeted the
mocks; 147 passed + 2 skipped across both relay metrics files.
Four hot-path consumers paid a full config deepcopy per read:
- telemetry gate relay_shared_metrics.enabled() — runs 2-3x per agent
turn (2x per API call from lifecycle hooks + 1x per tool call) and
called read_raw_config(), which deepcopies the whole raw config every
call. New read_raw_config_readonly() serves the cached dict directly:
248 us -> 4.6 us per call (54x) on Teknium's real 77-key config.
- interruptible_streaming_api_call local-endpoint stale-timeout branch
called load_config() once per API call for every local-model user.
- gateway get_inbound_media_max_bytes() + _get_ephemeral_system_ttl_default()
called load_config() on per-message paths. All three switched to
load_config_readonly() (345 us -> 12 us; PR #28866 lineage).
Together these account for ~90% of the ~1,900 deepcopy primitives per
turn measured in the 26-call stubbed-LLM profile.
read_raw_config_readonly() keeps the (mtime_ns, size) freshness key so
config edits are picked up next call, and preserves the identity
invariant (cache-miss returns the same object later hits serve) —
regression-tested with 'is', per the PR #28866 identity-bug lesson.
The mutable read_raw_config() is unchanged for save-path callers.
581 targeted tests green (config, relay metrics x2, ephemeral reply,
platform base, new readonly suite).
_load_approval_mode now delegates to tools.approval._get_approval_mode,
which reads config via hermes_cli.config.load_config — that path resolves
HERMES_HOME from the environment, not the server module's _hermes_home
attribute. The four approval-mode tests only monkeypatched the module
attribute, so the resolver silently read the developer/CI real config
(default 'smart') instead of the temp fixture. Behavior assertions are
unchanged (invalid → manual fail-safe, YAML off-bool → 'off', three-way
persist + live emit); the fixtures now also set HERMES_HOME so the
canonical read path sees the same temp config.
TUI (tui_gateway/server.py _load_approval_mode): now delegates to
tools.approval._get_approval_mode instead of re-reading config raw via
_load_cfg + _deep_merge(DEFAULT_CONFIG, ...) and normalizing locally.
Behavior fix, not pure refactor: the canonical load_config path applies
managed-scope config overlays and ${VAR} env expansion, plus a legacy
max_turns lift, which the TUI's raw YAML read bypassed — under a managed
config that sets approvals.mode, the TUI previously reported/toggled a
different mode than the approval gate actually enforced. Both surfaces
now agree by construction. Name/signature and the mode-vocabulary clamp
are preserved.
Codex (agent/transports/codex_app_server_session.py): read confirmed the
_decide_exec_approval/_decide_apply_patch_approval paths carry NO
Hermes-side mode/timeout reads — the Hermes resolution already flows in
from agent/codex_runtime.py via tools.approval.is_approval_bypass_active()
(auto_approve_* routing) and via the shared approval-gate callback. So no
code extraction was needed; added docstrings pinning that invariant and a
cross-reference on the protocol-semantic choice mapping
(_approval_choice_to_codex_decision), which intentionally stays local.
Adds tests/tools/test_approval_mode_parity.py: cross-surface invariant
test asserting the core resolver, the TUI path, and the codex bypass
derivation agree for synthetic configs (unset defaults, global mode set,
YAML-bool off, malformed values, whitespace/case), plus a delegation-seam
test proving the TUI has no independent config read left.
Note: gateway/run.py has sibling raw reads but is intentionally untouched
(multiple in-flight PRs); flagged as follow-up.
The old assertion read _drive_health_report's source text for the
_sanitized_cua_env() call — a banned source-reading test that broke when
the spawn moved into _open_mcp with identical runtime behavior. Now
intercepts subprocess.Popen at the _open_mcp seam and asserts the env it
actually receives strips secrets and applies the telemetry opt-out.
cua-driver 0.10.0 marks health_report as risk.class=unclassified and denies
the MCP call with isError. Hermes doctor previously treated the bare
{exit_code:1} structuredContent as a real report and printed
"cua-driver ? on ? — ?" with exit 1.
Detect isError / non-schema payloads, raise HealthReportUnavailable, and
compose a schema_version=1 report from working probes (check_permissions,
list_apps, CLI --version/doctor). Prefer real health_report when present.
Tests cover unclassified denial, schema preference, and overall mapping.
`_canon_key_combo` (the `_BLOCKED_KEY_COMBOS` gate in
`handle_computer_use`) split key strings on `+` only, but the cua-driver
backend's `_parse_key_combo` splits on both `+` and `-`. So a model could
issue `{"action":"key","keys":"ctrl-alt-delete"}` (or `alt-f4`,
`cmd-shift-q`): the gate saw a single unknown token and let it through
while the backend executed the real destructive shortcut.
Split the gate on both `+` and `-` so it canonicalizes combos the same
way the backend does. Non-destructive hyphen combos (`cmd-c`) and the
literal `-` zoom key (`cmd+-`) are unaffected.

cua-driver 0.7.x can return list_windows/list_apps payloads under
structuredContent.windows, data.windows, data._legacy_windows, or
top-level windows/_legacy_windows (direct CLI responses). The wrapper
only read structuredContent.windows, so discovery came back empty
(capture 0x0, list_apps []) while raw cua-driver calls worked.
- add _windows_from_tool_result(): walks the known envelope shapes in
priority order, skipping empty higher-priority envelopes
- route _load_windows() (MCP + CLI re-fetch paths) through the helper,
covering capture() and focus_app()
- harden _ingest_windows(): skip non-dict members, normalize untrusted
app_name/title/z_index fields
- list_apps(): prefer structuredContent.apps, fall through populated
data/top-level envelopes, derive unique apps from window-shaped
payloads via _apps_from_windows(), keep the text-line fallback last
- tests for every envelope shape, precedence, malformed records, and
app derivation

The disease: ~15 scattered raw yaml.safe_load(config.yaml) reads that
silently miss managed-scope overlay, ${ENV_VAR} expansion, profile-aware
pathing, and root-model normalization. Every new config feature needed an
N-site sweep (incident chain 9cbcc0c9c8 → 732293cf87 → b0e47a98f9 →
1928aa0443). This commit assigns every raw read to an owner and adds a
lint-guard test so the class cannot regrow.
New primitive (additive-only change to hermes_cli/config.py):
read_user_config_raw(path=None) — reads the user file EXACTLY as
written; docstring states it is ONLY legal for write-back round-trips
and raw-file diagnostics. Behavioral reads must use
load_config()/load_config_readonly().
BEHAVIOR FIXES (class-a sites migrated to a canonical loader — these
previously read values that could DIFFER from the effective config):
gateway/run.py _try_resolve_fallback_provider → _load_gateway_runtime_config
keys: fallback_providers/fallback_model (provider, model, base_url,
api_key). Drift fixed: a managed-pinned fallback chain was ignored;
an api_key of "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}" reached the resolver unexpanded.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._load_provider_routing → same loader
key: provider_routing. Drift fixed: managed-pinned routing prefs and
${VAR} templates were ignored.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._load_fallback_model → same loader
keys: fallback chain. Same drift as above.
gateway/run.py GatewayRunner._refresh_fallback_model
keeps the raw primitive (its last-known-good-on-parse-failure contract
forbids the fail-open loader, which returns {} on a torn write) but now
applies managed overlay + env expansion inline. Drift fixed: chain
edits under managed scope / env templates were previously frozen out.
tui_gateway/server.py _load_cfg (72 behavioral call sites)
now = raw read + managed overlay (pre-existing) + NEW ${VAR} expansion,
split from a new _load_cfg_raw() write-back primitive. Drift fixed:
e.g. custom_prompt: "hello ${VAR}", agent.system_prompt, model,
api_key/base_url templates reached sessions unexpanded. DEFAULT_CONFIG
is deliberately NOT merged (callers treat missing keys as unset;
`_load_cfg() == {}` sentinels and _save_cfg round-trips depend on it).
tui_gateway/server.py _profile_configured_cwd
keys: terminal.cwd of a NON-launch profile. Drift fixed: managed
overlay + ${VAR} expansion now apply (load_config() would resolve the
wrong profile's home, so the raw primitive + inline pipeline is used).
plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py _reload_dm_topics_from_config
→ load_config_readonly(). keys: platforms.telegram.extra.dm_topics.
Drift fixed: managed overlay + profile-aware pathing + expansion.
plugins/memory/holographic _load_plugin_config → load_config_readonly().
keys: plugins.hermes-memory-store.*. Same drift class.
WRITE-BACK ROUND-TRIPS (class-b: stay raw BY DESIGN via read_user_config_raw;
merging defaults/overlay would pollute the saved user file):
gateway/slash_commands.py: model persist x2, _save_gateway_config_key,
memory/skills write_approval toggles
gateway/platforms/yuanbao.py auto-sethome
tui_gateway/server.py _write_config_key + all cfg→_save_cfg blocks
(reasoning show/hide/full/clamp, details_mode[.section], prompt)
→ new _load_cfg_raw()
plugins/memory/holographic save_config
RAW-FILE DIAGNOSTICS + presence-sensitive bridges (class-c: stay raw,
now via the shared primitive with an explanatory comment):
hermes_cli/doctor.py x5 (model validation, stale-root-keys, .env drift,
deprecation sweep, memory-provider probe — the latter two keep their
inline managed overlay where they had one)
gateway/run.py _bridge_max_turns_from_config and the module-level
TERMINAL_*/HERMES_* env bridge (bridging merged defaults would export
all of DEFAULT_CONFIG into the environment; both keep their inline
overlay + expansion)
hermes_cli/send_cmd.py env bridge (same presence-sensitivity)
hermes_cli/gateway.py multiplex-conflict probe (reads the DEFAULT root's
config, not the active profile's — load_config is the wrong owner)
hermes_cli/profiles.py / hermes_cli/web_server.py / tools/wake_word.py
multi-profile reads (load_config targets only the ACTIVE profile home)
cron/jobs.py _resolve_default_model_snapshot and cron/scheduler.py
run_job config read keep their existing inline overlay+expansion but
now share the primitive (their fail-open + last-value semantics and
the deliberate no-defaults merge are preserved exactly).
Failure-semantics audit: every migrated site preserves its exact previous
behavior on missing file ({} / early return) and parse failure (raise into
the caller's existing except, warn, last-known-good, or fail-open) —
read_user_config_raw intentionally mirrors bare open()+safe_load semantics
(raises on parse errors, {} only on FileNotFoundError/non-dict root).
Guard: tests/hermes_cli/test_config_read_guard.py scans the tree for
yaml.safe_load within 6 lines of a 'config.yaml' reference outside an
explicit ALLOWLIST (hermes_cli/config.py, gateway/config.py, gateway/run.py
fallback path, hermes_cli/managed_scope.py which reads the MANAGED file,
gateway/readiness.py parse-health probe) and fails on new offenders.
E2E: tests/hermes_cli/test_config_loader_e2e.py runs a subprocess with a
temp HERMES_HOME (config.yaml containing ${E2E_PROMPT_SUFFIX}) plus a
HERMES_MANAGED_DIR overlay pinning agent.reasoning_effort, asserting
tui _load_cfg resolves "hello world"/"high" while _load_cfg_raw +
_save_cfg round-trip the template and user value verbatim with no
managed/default leakage.
The TTL-expiry test aged only the in-process probe cache; with the new
disk L2 the fresh disk verdict (correctly) served 'ollama' and the swap
to lm-studio wasn't re-detected. In real time-flow the 300s disk TTL
always lapses before the 1h in-proc TTL — the test now compresses both
expiries, matching the scenario it describes. 25/25 pass.
Local-model users paid a fresh probe waterfall on EVERY CLI cold start
inside AIAgent.__init__: detect_local_server_type (up to 4 HTTP GETs,
2s timeout each on a hung server) + /api/show (3s timeout). The
existing caches were in-process only, so back-to-back invocations
(chat -q, cron ticks, subagents) re-paid the network every time.
- New 300s-TTL disk L2 at HERMES_HOME/cache/local_endpoint_probes.json
for detect_local_server_type verdicts and query_ollama_num_ctx
results. Only SUCCESSFUL probes persist (a down server never pins a
negative verdict); stale entries pruned on write; corrupted cache
degrades to a miss; atomic writes. 300s is strictly fresher than the
1h in-process TTL that already accepts server-swap staleness.
- models.dev fetch timeout 15 -> (5, 10) connect/read tuple: a
blackholed connect stalled the first-turn critical path 15s; now
fails in 5s (matches the OpenRouter fetch convention, #46620).
- _auto_detect_local_model timeout 5 -> (2, 3): runs inside
_get_model_config() at startup against a LOCAL endpoint; a hung local
server cost 5s before the banner.
E2E (real HTTP server, two fresh subprocesses, isolated HERMES_HOME):
proc1 = 2 HTTP hits, proc2 = 0 HTTP hits, identical results
(ollama/131072), probe wall 74.5 -> 35.5 ms. 222 targeted tests green
incl. 9 new disk-L2 contract tests.
The streaming hot loop computed len(repr(chunk)) on EVERY chunk to feed
the retry-diagnostic byte counter — a full recursive pydantic repr at
5.5-8.8 us per chunk (measured), ~20-30 ms of pure CPU per 3,000-chunk
response, paid on every streaming response on every platform.
New _estimate_chunk_bytes() sizes the chunk from its delta payload
strings (content / reasoning / tool-call arguments) plus a 40-byte
framing floor: 2.1-2.4 us per chunk (~3x cheaper), independent of
pydantic field count, never raises on unknown shapes (Anthropic events,
stub providers fall back to the floor). Both call sites switched
(chat-completions loop + anthropic event loop).
The counter feeds only the stream-retry diagnostic log line
(agent/stream_diag.py) — an estimate proportional to traffic preserves
its purpose (distinguishing 'died at 0 bytes' from 'died mid-stream').
6 new contract tests; 64 targeted stream tests green.
Four fixes on the updater path:
1. uv self update freshness gate + timeout (managed_uv.py): the network
self-update ran on EVERY hermes update — including the 'Already up to
date!' fast path — with NO timeout (unbounded hang risk offline). Now
skipped when it succeeded within 7 days (stamp file under
HERMES_HOME/cache), capped at 60s, force= override available. The
CVE-driven vulnerable-runtime repair probe is NEVER gated — it still
runs on every invocation.
2. Drop the second network fetch from the pull step (main.py): the update
flow fetched origin/<branch>, counted commits, then ran
'git pull --ff-only origin <branch>' — a SECOND fetch of the same ref
(~0.5-1.5s). Now merges the already-fetched tracking ref via
'git merge --ff-only origin/<branch>'; the diverged-history reset
fallback is unchanged.
3. Probe the upstream remote locally before fetching it (_cmd_update_check):
non-fork installs have no 'upstream' remote, and --check burned a
failed network attempt (~0.3-1s) on every run before falling back to
origin. 'git remote get-url upstream' (~1ms local) now gates the fetch.
4. Desktop rebuild check reads the content-hash stamp in-process before
spawning 'hermes desktop --build-only' (a full CLI re-import, ~1-3s)
just to learn nothing changed. Stamp errors fall through to the
subprocess path unchanged.
Savings on a no-op 'hermes update': ~2-6s (uv self-update 0.5-3s +
second fetch 0.5-1.5s + desktop spawn 1-3s when applicable).
187 targeted updater tests green incl. 5 new stamp-gate tests.
The banner update-check ran an unscoped 'git fetch origin', transferring
all ~1,400 remote heads (measured 3.0s dry-run vs 0.55s scoped, and up to
70s on a cold ref store) and frequently burning its full 10s timeout on
slow links. cmd_update already scopes its fetch for exactly this reason.
A scoped 'git fetch origin main' updates both the origin/main tracking
ref (full-clone count path) and FETCH_HEAD (shallow compare path), so
behind-count semantics are unchanged — verified empirically on a full
clone (rewound tracking ref restored to tip, count correct) and a
--depth 1 shallow clone (FETCH_HEAD updated, boundary preserved).
Replaces the half-duplex per-playback barge monitors with ONE listener
that runs for the entire agent turn in continuous voice mode: armed at
utterance-submit, disarmed when the turn is fully done (response + TTS
finished). Fixes Teknium's live report that voice interruption never
works: (a) not while the LLM is generating, (b) not while TTS plays.
Root causes:
- HALF-DUPLEX GAP: the barge monitor only spawned when TTS playback
STARTED (cli.py streaming/whole-file paths, gateway _tts_stream_begin).
During LLM generation there was NO microphone listener at all.
- PLAYBACK DEAFNESS: the monitor calibrated its VAD noise floor WHILE the
speaker was blasting TTS (speaker bleed baked into the floor), then
multiplied it by 8x with a 1s strictly-consecutive block requirement —
normal speech could rarely reach the trigger, and the 2s grace
swallowed early interjections.
New model — tools/voice_mode.full_duplex_listen():
- Pre-playback calibration: quiet-room noise floor established at turn
start and HELD through playback (never recalibrated against bleed).
- Phase-aware trigger: generation = floor x voice.barge_in_threshold_multiplier
(new config, default 3.0, justified by synthetic-frame tests);
playback = additionally clamped to a 1500-RMS minimum so bleed alone
can't trip; 4000-RMS ceiling keeps speech always reachable.
- Windowed-majority detection (>=80% of a 300ms window) instead of the
strictly-consecutive counter that reset on intra-word energy dips.
- Grace on playback ONSET only (voice.barge_in_grace_seconds, default
down 2.0 -> 0.5) — suppresses the onset transient, not the mic.
- Debug diagnostics at every decision point (calibrated floor, per-window
RMS above 50% of trigger, trip/no-trip, grace suppressions) — always
logger.debug, mirrored to stderr under HERMES_VOICE_DEBUG=1.
Phase behavior (CLI cli.py + tui_gateway/server.py, same model):
- generation: speech interrupts the in-flight turn via the SAME seam the
typed/Ctrl+C interrupt uses (agent.interrupt()), cuts any pending TTS
pipeline so the stale reply never plays, and submits the captured
interjection (pre-roll capture, first syllable kept) as the next turn.
- playback: cuts TTS (streaming pipeline stop + fallback speak stop
events + file player) and submits the capture.
- stop phrase honored in BOTH phases: mid-generation 'stop' interrupts
the turn AND ends the voice chat (stop everything).
- one listener instance spans generation -> playback (no re-arm race);
double-arm refused (CLI _voice_fd_active / gateway _fd_listener_active).
Gateway specifics: _arm_full_duplex_listener() at _run_prompt_submit turn
start and inside _tts_stream_begin; _speak_text_with_barge registers its
(stop, done) pair in _fd_speak_pipelines so fallback speaks are cut and
tracked; _tts_stream_barge_in_monitor kept as a shim that arms the new
listener. Desktop renderer owns its own mic path (voice-barge-in.ts) and
is unaffected; if desktop backend-mic mode is used it inherits via the
gateway.
Tests: full_duplex_listen synthetic-RMS suite (speech-over-bleed trips,
bleed alone doesn't, quiet floor held through playback, grace window,
multiplier math 3x vs 8x, windowed-majority dips), CLI listener phase
tests (generation interrupt seam, playback cut, lifecycle spans phases,
double-arm, config forwarding, stop-phrase-mid-generation), gateway
generation-phase interrupt + stop-phrase tests. Generation-interrupt
test sabotage-verified.
tools/computer_use/tool.py keeps the CLI approval flow in module-globals:
_approval_callback plus the per-session unlock stores _always_allow /
_session_auto_approve. Any test that installs a callback (or drives CLI
init far enough that the real one is registered) and does not reset it
poisons every later computer-use test in the same process:
* a leaked callback that raises — dead UI infra or a stale two-argument
signature (the contract is (action, args, summary)) — becomes
verdict='deny' in _request_approval, so dispatch tests fail with an
empty backend call list;
* a leaked callback that blocks (the real CLI one waits on an answer
queue) hangs a single-process run forever.
Both are order-dependent: tests/tools/test_computer_use.py passes 220/220
in isolation but shows dispatch failures in single-process full-suite runs
(and, with a blocking leak, a permanent hang observed via py-spy inside
_request_approval -> callback -> queue.get with no timeout).
Fix: an autouse teardown-only fixture resets callback + unlock stores
after every test; tests that install their own callback keep it for their
own duration. Regression pair included: a 'forgetful' test leaves a stale
two-arg callback behind, the next test asserts dispatch still routes to
the backend — red without the fixture (1 failed), green with it (225
passed together with the whole computer-use file).
_start_lifecycle_locked reassigns a fresh threading.Event() at line
786, so patching the pre-made instance's wait() is lost and the real
30s wait races pytest-timeout. Patch threading.Event itself with a
FakeEvent whose wait() returns False immediately (#69372).
`list_sessions_rich` returns one recency-ordered window, so a pinned
conversation that hadn't been touched in a while simply wasn't in the
payload. The desktop's Pinned section resolves pins against the loaded
rows, so the pin rendered as nothing until something dragged the row
back onto the page.
A pin is a "this must always be reachable" statement, which makes
falling off the page a bug rather than a paging outcome. `include_pinned`
adds one bounded query for the rows carrying `pinned = 1` that the
window missed, reusing the page's own WHERE clause — an archived or
filtered-out conversation stays out, and a pin is never a filter bypass.
It runs before compression projection, so a back-filled root surfaces
under its live tip exactly like a row that made the page on its own.

The upstream cua-driver installer scripts on trycua/cua@main carry a
baked default version that Release Please bumps in the release PR
*before* the release assets are published. During that window an
unpinned installer run 404s on the asset download and the
`hermes update` cua-driver refresh fails with:
error: download failed: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
⚠ cua-driver refreshing did not complete. Re-run manually: ...
Observed live 2026-07-29: baked version 0.14.0 vs latest published
release 0.13.1 — every `hermes update` run with an out-of-date driver
hit the warning until upstream publishes the assets.
We already know the correct version: `cua-driver check-update --json`
returns `latest_version` straight from the GitHub Releases API, whose
entries by definition have published assets. When the check positively
confirms an update, export that version as CUA_DRIVER_RS_VERSION into
the installer child env (both install.sh and install.ps1 honour it over
their baked default), so the refresh downloads the release that
actually exists instead of racing the upstream release pipeline.
Malformed / missing latest_version values fall back to the previous
unpinned behaviour. The explicit `hermes computer-use install
--upgrade` force path and fresh installs are unchanged.
Streamed responses no longer insert real newlines at terminal width —
logical lines are emitted whole and the terminal soft-wraps them, so
highlight-copy rejoins the full line (emulators only keep linebreaks
the app actually printed). This is the CLI equivalent of the TUI's
selection copy, which reads logical source lines from its screen
buffer. TTFT perception is preserved by mirroring the unfinished
line's tail into the spinner status text instead of chunk-printing.
/copy now prefers OSC 52 when running over SSH (SSH_CONNECTION /
SSH_TTY / SSH_CLIENT) — native tools there write the REMOTE clipboard,
which is never what the user wants. The CLI's OSC 52 writer also gains
tmux/screen DCS passthrough wrapping, mirroring the TUI's
wrapForMultiplexer. Fixes#31528 for the CLI surface.
Sabotage-verified: restoring the old chunk emitter fails 3 of the new
tests (hard-wrap detection, spinner mirror, unbreakable-run split).
Premise check on live main: barge-in machinery EXISTS for the per-turn
STREAMING pipeline only — cli.py chat() arms _voice_barge_in_monitor and
tui_gateway _tts_stream_begin arms _tts_stream_barge_in_monitor. What was
actually broken for spoken interruptions:
1. CLI whole-file fallback (_voice_speak_response_async — used whenever
streaming TTS cannot start: sounddevice missing, requirement probe
fails): NO monitor was ever armed, so talking over the reply did
nothing. Now arms _voice_barge_in_monitor in continuous voice mode.
2. Gateway fallback speak (tts_queue None → speak_text thread) and the
voice.tts RPC (desktop-triggered speech): speak_text ran bare, and
its internal streaming dispatch created a PRIVATE stop event nothing
could reach — uninterruptible even by stop_playback(). New
_speak_text_with_barge() runs the same barge monitor beside the speak
thread; hermes_cli.voice.speak_text/_speak_text_streaming accept an
external stop_event so a barge cuts the streaming pipeline too.
Stop-phrase handling and voice.transcript submission are inherited
from the shared monitor (merged #73933 behavior preserved).
3. False barge during TTS (the reason interruption "worked" then
self-cancelled or fired randomly): salvaged PR #71083 by @beardedeagle
(previous commit, kept authorship) — rolling-window VAD floor, 8x
multiplier, 4000-RMS trigger ceiling, barge_in_grace_seconds (2s)
before the mic opens, min-floor clamp. barge_in_grace_seconds is now
documented in DEFAULT_CONFIG.
Desktop spoken barge (renderer mic via voice-barge-in.ts) already covers
both its live-stream and fallback speech paths — verified, no change.
Long thinking/tool stretches in a voice conversation are dead air — the
user cannot tell whether the agent is alive. New: quiet, repeating soft
bubble blips while the agent works and no speech audio is flowing.
- tools/voice_mode.py: numpy-synthesized blips (no binary assets) — two
alternating low pitches (G4/E4) with pitch glide + smooth attack/decay
envelopes, ~0.8-1.2s randomized spacing, volume = voice.beep_volume * 0.5.
start_thinking_sound(should_play=...) / stop_thinking_sound() daemon-loop
lifecycle; macOS-TCC-safe (sounddevice output gated there → silent skip,
no per-second afplay churn). New mark_audio_output_active()/
is_audio_output_active() ref-count wraps play_audio_file and the
streaming OutputStream sentence writes so "audio is flowing" is accurate.
- Config: voice.thinking_sound (default true) off-switch.
- cli.py: starts when a voice-mode turn begins, per-blip gate skips while
TTS speaks / mic records / barge capture owns the mic; stopped in the
chat() finally on every exit path.
- tui_gateway/server.py: same lifecycle around _run_prompt_submit turns
(voice mode on), gated on is_audio_output_active + continuous capture.
- Desktop: renderer owns voice-conversation audio, so a matching WebAudio
implementation (src/lib/thinking-sound.ts, same envelope/pitches) runs
while conversation status === "thinking"; honors voice.thinking_sound
(via config store) and the shared sound-mute toggle; stops instantly on
speaking/listening/end.
One owner for the wording: voice_stop_hint() in tools/voice_mode.py —
sources the phrase from voice.stop_phrases (first entry) so a custom
phrase renders correctly, and returns "" when the feature is disabled
(stop_phrases: []) so no surface shows a hint.
- CLI: printed in /voice on output (style-matched dim notice).
- TUI: voice.toggle action=on now carries stop_hint; the Ink client
renders it in the "Voice mode enabled" block (older gateways omit
the field — no hint, no crash).
- Desktop: the renderer voice loop never touches tools/voice_mode.py,
so the phrase is read from config (voice.stop_phrases → $voiceStopPhrase
store, seeded in use-hermes-config) and shown as an info toast when a
voice conversation starts. i18n: en/ja/zh/zh-hant/ar.
The continuous-voice no-speech counter (3 strikes -> voice off) counted
every silent capture cycle unconditionally. During a long agent turn
(thinking/tool-calling for minutes) or while TTS is speaking, the user
is CORRECTLY silent — those cycles ended the voice chat under them.
- hermes_cli/voice.py: new set_voice_busy_probe() seam + _voice_activity_held()
(TTS-playing via the existing _tts_playing Event, agent-busy via the
registered probe). Both the continuous-loop strike path and the
force-transcribe single-shot strike path skip counting while held.
Fail-open: a broken probe counts cycles as before.
- tui_gateway/server.py: registers _any_session_running() as the probe
on voice.record start (voice is process-global; any running session holds).
- cli.py: classic CLI strike path skips counting while _agent_running
or TTS playback is in flight.
Stop phrase and barge-in still work during the hold (own paths).
Includes a fixture fix for the #71083 cherry-pick: the fake tools.tts_tool
module needs _load_tts_config (main's tts_streaming imports it).
Replace one-shot VAD calibration with a rolling deque window that
continuously recalibrates the noise floor throughout TTS playback,
preventing false barge-in triggers from stale calibration. Add a
grace period before VAD activates so TTS playback establishes first.
Suppress duplicate text rendering when token streaming is enabled.
Mirror the barge-in and TTS stream stop logic to the TUI gateway path
so both CLI and gateway use the same VAD semantics.
Rolling-window VAD:
- 90th percentile of rolling window (~3s) for noise floor
- 8x multiplier (was 5x) for TTS volume variation headroom
- 4000 RMS trigger ceiling so genuine speech can still trip
- min_floor clamped to SILENCE_RMS_THRESHOLD * 2
- sustained_ms=1000, calibration_ms=800
Barge-in grace period (barge_in_grace_seconds, default 2.0s):
Delays VAD activation so TTS playback establishes before the mic opens.
Duplicate render suppression:
When streaming_enabled, pass display_callback=None to
stream_tts_to_speaker so the token stream is the sole display path.
TUI gateway mirror:
Mirror _tts_stream_stop and _tts_stream_barge_in_monitor changes to
tui_gateway/server.py so both code paths use the same VAD parameters,
grace period, and TTS CUT diagnostic logging.
Profile-scoped session DB and MoA progress events in tui_gateway/server.py
were necessitated by the TTS pipeline changes affecting session state
and event routing.
Normal-exit flag and TTS CUT diagnostic logging at all cut paths.

Fixes#73973.
A finite one-shot whose dispatch was claimed (claim_dispatch increments
repeat.completed BEFORE execution) but whose run died before mark_job_run
was left permanently wedged: completed==times, last_run_at null, state
'scheduled'. The run-claim TTL blocked re-dispatch, and once it expired
the dispatch-limit guard silently removed the job with no output and no
error.
Two complementary fixes:
- cron/scheduler.py run_one_job: the outer handler now catches
BaseException, not just Exception. The inner run_job handler re-raises
CancelledError/KeyboardInterrupt/SystemExit after agent teardown, and
none of those are Exception subclasses, so the outer 'except Exception'
missed them and mark_job_run(False) was never called. Failures are now
recorded first (mark_job_run + finish_execution, each independently
guarded), then non-Exception BaseExceptions are re-raised to preserve
teardown semantics. Plain Exceptions keep the existing behavior
(recorded, return False, no re-raise). Empty str(e) (bare
CancelledError) falls back to the exception class name.
- cron/jobs.py: when either removal site (claim_dispatch or the
get_due_jobs dispatch-limit guard) drops a one-shot whose claimed run
never completed (last_run_at null), _write_wedged_oneshot_diagnostic
now writes an operator-visible .md into cron/output/<job_id>/ instead
of vanishing silently. Best-effort: diagnostics can never break the
removal. No diagnostic when last_run_at is set (normal completion
race).
Issue #65773: run_one_job installs a <home>/.env secret scope around every
job; before c758ded6d (#69057) an installed scope was authoritative even
with multiplexing off, so provider keys injected only via the process
environment (container env vars, systemd Environment=) resolved to empty
inside cron and every provider call went out with the no-key-required
placeholder -> HTTP 401, while interactive turns kept working.
The fix landed in agent/secret_scope.py (scope-miss fallthrough to
os.environ when multiplex is off) with unit tests at that layer only.
These two tests pin the end-to-end contract where the bug actually
surfaced - cron's run_one_job:
- env-injected key resolves during run_job with multiplex OFF (fails on
pre-fix code, verified by mutation against c758ded6d~1)
- .env value still wins when both sources define the key (precedence)
Implementation-agnostic: passes whether the fix is the get_secret
fallthrough (main today) or a multiplex guard at the installation site
(the approach in #65801/#65802/#73037).
Session rows served without ?profile= carried no profile field, so in
multi-profile desktops the default profile's sessions circulated unowned:
resolveStoredSession cached them profile-less, resolveSessionProfile returned
undefined, and session.resume targeted whichever gateway was active -- opening
a default-profile session from a non-default window failed with
"session can't be found" while the reverse direction worked (#67603 family).
Server: GET /api/sessions/{id} and GET /api/sessions now stamp profile/
is_default_profile unconditionally -- the serving profile is always known
(_cron_default_profile() when the request is unscoped).
Renderer: resolveStoredSession treats a profile-less $sessions cache hit as
unresolved when >1 profile exists (falls through to the stamped by-id ladder)
and back-fills the active profile on bare by-id hits from older backends, so
unowned rows are never re-cached.
Verified via CDP against a live 4-profile renderer: bare by-id GET returned
hasProfileField:false and the stale cache rows matched; with the fix both
lookups return the owning profile and the resume routes to the right backend.
The gateway's /reset cleanup path called shutdown_memory_provider without
first draining the memory manager's serialized background write worker.
shutdown_all only gives that worker a bounded (~5s) drain and abandons
whatever is still queued past it, so a /reset could silently drop writes
the session had already handed off -- the next session then loaded
stale MEMORY.md.
The CLI exit path already drains via MemoryManager.flush_pending before
shutdown; this PR pins the same contract on the gateway cleanup path.
Cleanup now calls agent._memory_manager.flush_pending(timeout=10) before
the existing shutdown_memory_provider step. The flush is best-effort:
a flush failure must never block teardown, so it is wrapped in
try/except and the existing shutdown path remains the fallback.
Closes#73297
- extract _commit_registry/_note_refresh_failure shared by the background
worker and foreground stage-4 (identical 4-step success + failure paths
were duplicated); worker now commits under _models_dev_fetch_lock so a
failing background refresh can never re-arm the backoff immediately
after a successful force_refresh committed (unsynchronized-write race)
- add should_clear_context_pin_async to hermes_cli/route_identity.py
(matching the get_model_context_length_async precedent) and use it at
the 4 async gateway sites instead of inline asyncio.to_thread wraps;
the sync _format_session_info site keeps the sync call (already
off-loop via its callers' to_thread)
- test the background-refresh success path (the PR's primary new
behavior): disk saved, mem cache swapped, backoff cleared, in_flight
reset — mutation-checked
- replace the race-prone spin-wait on _models_dev_refresh_in_flight with
a named-thread join in the backoff test
The branched call shape in get_provider_info/get_provider is deliberate:
~69 test sites across tests/hermes_cli and tests/gateway monkeypatch
fetch_models_dev (and get_provider_info) with zero/single-arg lambdas.
Passing allow_network= unconditionally broke 5 tests in CI slices 2/3/7.
Documented the constraint inline.
- _mark_stale_cache_grace only moves cache_time forward so a completed
background refresh is never rewound to a 5-minute grace window
- clear _models_dev_refresh_in_flight if Thread.start() raises so a
one-off thread-exhaustion failure doesn't disable refresh forever
- move empty-registry validation into _fetch_models_dev_from_network
(was duplicated in the background worker and the foreground fetch)
- pass allow_network through as a plain kwarg in get_provider_info and
hermes_cli.providers.get_provider instead of the branched call shape
- refresh the stale module docstring (no bundled snapshot exists; the
resolution order now describes stale-serve + background refresh)
