Builds on this PR's diagnosis by @Frowtek: a missing workdir is
ambiguous (deleted project vs. an unmounted external volume / network
share / VPN not yet up), so it's not safe evidence for a destructive
GC sweep — especially one that runs unattended at startup.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: the startup auto-maintenance sweep now
always passes delete_orphans=False to maybe_auto_prune_checkpoints().
It still prunes by retention_days, size cap, and legacy archives —
none of which require guessing whether a project was deleted or is
just temporarily unreachable.
- hermes_cli/config.py: drop the now-unused delete_orphans default.
- hermes_cli/checkpoints.py: `hermes checkpoints prune` (the explicit,
human-invoked path) now previews the orphan project list and asks
for confirmation before deleting, unless -f/--force is passed.
- Docs updated (EN + zh-Hans) to match.

Adds a 'Host integration' section to the ACP guide and a row in the
environment variable reference so the next ACP host implementer does not
have to read the adapter source.
Documents the exact contract the tests already pin: the value must be
exactly `1`; unset/empty/`0`/`false` keep the default behavior; only
globally configured config.yaml MCP discovery is skipped, and servers
supplied by the ACP session through session/new are still registered.
Framed as a host-set process marker rather than user configuration - the
same shape as the existing HERMES_KANBAN_TASK entry - so it does not read
as a behavioral setting that belongs in config.yaml.

Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 (+ -fast variant) — both are live on
OpenRouter and the Nous Portal /models endpoint (verified against both
live APIs). Opus 4.8 entries are kept.
- hermes_cli/models.py: opus-5 + opus-5-fast in OPENROUTER_MODELS;
opus-5 in _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous] (Portal serves both, curated list
carries the base model like the rest of the Nous Anthropic block).
Ordering: below fable-5 flagship, above opus-4.8.
- agent/model_metadata.py: claude-opus-5 -> 1M context (matches live
OpenRouter metadata).
- agent/reasoning_timeouts.py: claude-opus-5 -> 240s stale-timeout
floor (same as the opus-4.x thinking family).
- website/static/api/model-catalog.json: regenerated via
scripts/build_model_catalog.py.
Both providers bill via official_models_api (live pricing), so no
_OFFICIAL_DOCS_PRICING snapshot entry is needed for these routes.
Add authenticated GET /api/model/options to the gateway API server,
sharing the dashboard/TUI picker payload builder so external clients
can sync to the user's configured Hermes provider catalog instead of
scraping the single OpenAI-compatible /v1/models alias.
- new shared hermes_cli.inventory.build_model_options_payload() wraps
build_models_payload with the stable picker shape and safe
custom-provider probe policy (probe current only on normal open,
probe all + cache bust on explicit refresh)
- dashboard web_server and TUI gateway model.options refactored onto
the shared builder; dashboard build moved off the event loop via
run_in_threadpool
- capabilities endpoint advertises model_options
- docs for both API server and programmatic integration
Salvaged from PR #54689 by @abundantbeing.
Follow-ups on the salvaged #54426 routing contract:
- Bare `model` without `provider` on the OpenAI-compatible endpoints
(/v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses) is now opt-in via
gateway.platforms.api_server.direct_model_requests (default off) —
generic OpenAI clients hardcode model names ('gpt-4o', ...) and
existing deployments rely on those falling back to the gateway
default. Explicit `provider` requests and the Hermes-native
session-chat + /v1/runs surfaces are always honored.
Idea credit: PR #22825 by @mssteuer.
- A model_routes alias with no `model` key can no longer leak the
alias string as the executing model name (defensive; parse-time
validation already drops such routes).
- Fix mis-indented _run_agent call args in _handle_session_chat_stream.
- Docs: document the opt-in flag.
Carry model, provider, and model_options through the API server's
execution surfaces (session chat, Chat Completions, Responses, /v1/runs)
without mutating global configuration. Precedence: session /model
override -> model_routes alias -> direct request selection -> global
defaults. Conflicting route/provider mixes fail closed with 400.
model_options stays request-scoped regardless of which selection wins.

The design-md skill documented the Apr 2026 (0.1.x) CLI behavior, which
has since drifted:
- Lint rules: the skill listed 7 rules that no longer exist by those
names (duplicate-section, invalid-color, wcag-contrast,
unknown-component-property); the 0.3.0 linter runs 9 rules
(contrast-ratio, orphaned-tokens, missing-primary, missing-typography,
section-order, unknown-key, token-summary, missing-sections,
broken-ref). Verified against live lint output.
- Colors: any CSS color is now valid (oklch/rgb/named), not hex-only.
- Export: json-tailwind (v3) + css-tailwind (Tailwind v4 @theme CSS)
formats; 'tailwind' is a back-compat alias. New exit-code semantics
(export exits 0 regardless of source lint findings).
- Section order / duplicate headings are lint warnings, not file
rejection (verified: duplicate + out-of-order sections exit 0).
- Windows: documented the designmd dot-free bin alias (the design.md
bin name collides with the .md file association); skill declares
platforms: [windows].
- New pitfall: typography sub-property typos (fontwight) are silently
dropped with no finding as of 0.3.0.
All claims verified by running @google/design.md 0.3.0 live (lint,
export, duplicate-section, oklch token, starter template lints clean).
Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py.
Auto-gen page slugs, catalog rows/paths, sidebar entries, and zh-Hans
mirrors follow the directory renames. Also updates the install path
official/creative/audiocraft -> official/creative/audiocraft-audio-generation
in the songwriting-and-ai-music pointer section.
Adds a device authorization grant flow alongside the existing loopback
OAuth flow, so `hermes setup` can connect to Honcho cloud from SSH and
other no-browser environments.
- oauth.py: new HTTP seams — _http_post_form_status (non-raising, since
RFC 8628 polling reads the OAuth error off a 400) and _http_get_json
for the RFC 8414 metadata probe
- oauth_flow.py: DeviceCode, request_device_code, poll_for_token with
slow_down backoff (+5s, capped at 60s) bounded by expires_in, typed
errors (AccessDenied, DeviceCodeExpired, AuthorizationTimeout), and
supports_device_login (fail-closed metadata gate); device flow ends in
the same install_grant tail as loopback so refresh/status work
unchanged
- oauth_flow.py: loopback callback now serves a "sign-in was not
completed" page on consent cancel instead of the success page
- cli.py: cloud menu offers oauth / device / apikey; the device option
only appears when the host advertises the grant, and becomes the
default when no browser is detected
- 18 new tests covering the full flow against a local fake AS, backoff
schedule, error mapping, deadline bound, metadata gate, and wizard
branches

Audited every reference against ground truth (COMMAND_REGISTRY, argparse
--help output, TOOLSETS dict, provider profiles, DEFAULT_CONFIG) and
corrected drift the restructure had carried over verbatim:
- slash-commands.md: rebuilt from the live registry. Removes the phantom
/skill command (never existed — skills load via /skills, hermes -s, or a
skill's own /<name> command) and the wrong /q alias on /quit (/q belongs
to /queue) — both reported by @liuhao1024 in #50608 and @gauravsaxena1997
in #50613. Adds ~25 real commands that were missing (/learn, /memory,
/pet, /hatch, /bundles, /moa, /suggestions, /blueprint, /whoami, …) with
correct aliases and CLI/GW scoping.
- cli-reference.md: verified flags (-z/--oneshot, --tui/--cli, --safe-mode),
real subcommand sets for config/setup/sessions/skills/gateway/mcp/profile/
auth/webhook/cron/skin/pets, added missing top-level commands (fallback,
project, moa, logs, console, hooks, security, backup); condensed tables.
- providers-and-models.md: rebuilt from the 36 shipped provider profiles
with their actual env vars (was 21 rows, several stale); folds in the
alias system and fallback-chain command.
- configuration.md: toolset table matches TOOLSETS (adds coding,
computer_use, video_gen, context_engine, project; drops nonexistent
messaging/rl), config sections match DEFAULT_CONFIG, STT/TTS provider
lists match the shipped set.
- background-systems.md: curator verbs match the argparse surface.
- troubleshooting/security-privacy/windows-quirks/contributor-guide: fixed
dangling 'section above/below' references from the body split; moved the
reset-permissions playbook to security-privacy.md (its routing home).

Flips the default fan-out cadence from per_iteration (advisors re-run on
every tool iteration, multiplying advisor spend by tool-loop depth) to
user_turn (advisors run once on the first message of each user turn; the
acting aggregator works the rest of the tool loop with that turn's
advice). Until per-mode benchmarks justify a costlier default, MoA
defaults to the cheapest, lowest-impact cadence (#67199).
One default for everyone — no split legacy/new-preset semantics; presets
that want per-step advising set fanout: per_iteration explicitly. All
three modes (user_turn / per_iteration / every_n:N) remain selectable;
every_n:1 still collapses to per_iteration (semantic identity), while
unparseable values now fall to user_turn (the default).
Docs updated with a default-change note; the per-iteration rerun test
pins its mode explicitly.

Every SKILL.md description over 60 chars was silently truncated to
57 chars + '...' in the system-prompt skill index
(extract_skill_description, agent/skill_utils.py), destroying the
routing signal for 69 of 179 skills — some descriptions ran to
1,005 chars.
Rewrites follow the authoring standard: <=60 chars, one sentence,
ends with a period, trigger front-loaded, no marketing words, no
skill-name repetition. Excess detail already lives in each skill's
body.

Make the x_search / xurl boundary explicit in the skill, feature docs,
toolset metadata, setup note, and reference pages, while keeping the
model-facing x_search schema generic (no static xurl name).
Regression tests assert behavioral routing invariants rather than frozen
prose snapshots. Drop the stale CI-only plugin/hangup hunks already on
main so this rebases cleanly.
skills/computer-use/SKILL.md sat at the root of the bundled skills
tree as an uncategorized single-skill directory. Move it to
skills/autonomous-ai-agents/computer-use/ alongside claude-code,
codex, opencode, and hermes-agent.
- git mv skills/computer-use -> skills/autonomous-ai-agents/computer-use
(history preserved)
- root-level-skill docstring examples (commands.py,
generate-skill-docs.py) now use a generic placeholder instead of
naming a specific skill, since categorizing root-level skills is
ongoing
- docs: move the bundled page to autonomous-ai-agents-computer-use,
update sidebars.ts, skills-catalog.md, and the two skill-path
references in features/computer-use.md
E2E validated: fresh sync_skills() copies to the new nested path;
existing installs with the old flat copy keep it untouched (manifest
name-keyed, hash unchanged -> skipped, no duplicate);
_get_category_from_path resolves 'autonomous-ai-agents'; docusaurus

Claude Code's /simplify was renamed away, community-restored, and rebuilt
since our 3-agent port (v2.1.63 -> v2.1.154+). This brings simplify-code
in line with the current upstream design, re-expressed in our own wording
and layered onto our existing risk-tier/confidence machinery:
- New Reviewer 4 (Altitude): flags band-aid fixes layered on shared
infrastructure — special cases, symptom patches with unfixed sibling
sites, workaround stacks — and points at the deeper mechanism fix.
Matches our AGENTS.md 'fix the class, not the site' rubric.
- Explicit cleanup-vs-bug-hunt boundary: this skill improves working
code; correctness review stays with requesting-code-review.
- Inline single-pass fallback when delegate_task is unavailable (leaf
subagents, delegation disabled) — previously the skill just broke;
now all four angles run sequentially with honest disclosure.
- Finding format gains a concrete-cost field.
- Efficiency reviewer adds closure-capture scope-retention leaks.
- Pitfalls: fan-out cap 3 -> 4, band-aid-vs-deliberate-boundary caveat,
no-bug-hunting drift guard.
Kept our value-adds upstream lacks: SAFE/CAREFUL/RISKY tiers,
Chesterton's Fence via git blame, dry-run/focus/scope modifiers.
The yuanbao skill is platform-specific guidance for Tencent Yuanbao

Install via: hermes skills install official/yuanbao/yuanbao
The nano-pdf description repeated the skill name ('via nano-pdf CLI'),
violating the skill authoring standard, and spent its char budget
restating the name instead of distinguishing the skill from the
structural pdf skill. New description: 'Edit text in existing PDFs via
natural-language prompts.' (56 chars) — no name repetition, and
'text in existing PDFs' contrasts cleanly with pdf's
'Create, merge, split, fill, and secure PDF files.'
Propagated to the auto-generated docs pages and zh-Hans locale
(catalog row + per-skill page) for locale parity.
Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — zero-shot image segmentation

Both are heavy-dep, GPU-bound local music-generation skills (8-16GB VRAM,
torch stacks, manual source patches) that were bundled in two different
categories (media/ and mlops/models/). Per the 'when in doubt, optional'
rule they now sit side by side in optional-skills/creative/, and the
bundled songwriting-and-ai-music skill points at them for local generation.
- git mv skills/media/heartmula -> optional-skills/creative/heartmula
- git mv skills/mlops/models/audiocraft -> optional-skills/creative/audiocraft
- cross-link related_skills both ways + songwriting-and-ai-music
- new section 10 in songwriting-and-ai-music with install commands
- docs: bundled pages -> optional pages (en + zh-Hans), catalogs, sidebar

The hermes-agent skill body was a 51KB monolith loaded in full on every
trigger. It is now a lightweight hub (~12KB): identity, quick start, the
tmux orchestration guide (kept in-body — the autonomous-ai-agents category
contract), surface orientation, and hard invariants, with a routing table
into 18 reference files that carry the depth.
Absorbed four Hermes-specific skills as first-class references so their
content gains a discoverable home and room to grow without bloating any
primary body:
- skills/hermes-themes -> references/themes.md + templates/skin.yaml
- skills/hermes-desktop-plugins -> references/desktop-plugins.md + templates/plugin.js
- skills/productivity/tui-widgets -> references/tui-widgets.md + templates/clock.mjs
- skills/productivity/petdex -> references/petdex.md
New references extracted from the old body: cli-reference, slash-commands,
providers-and-models, configuration, project-context-files,
security-privacy, background-systems, windows-quirks, troubleshooting,
contributor-guide (native-mcp and webhooks already existed). Also commits
delegate-task-concurrency-diagnosis and portal-auth-for-third-party-apps,
which the old body referenced but the repo never shipped.
Description updated to cover the widened scope:
'Use, configure, theme, extend, and orchestrate Hermes Agent.' (60 chars)
skills/dogfood/SKILL.md sat at the root of the bundled skills tree,
making it one of the few uncategorized skills (Discord /skill
autocomplete listed it under 'uncategorized'; hermes_cli/commands.py
cited it as the example). Move it to
skills/software-development/dogfood/ alongside the other QA/testing
skills (test-driven-development, systematic-debugging,
requesting-code-review).
- git mv skills/dogfood -> skills/software-development/dogfood
(history preserved)
- fix test fixture path in tests/tools/test_browser_console.py
- update root-level-skill docstring examples (commands.py,
generate-skill-docs.py) to cite computer-use, which is still root-level
- drop 'dogfood' from the category list in hermes-agent-skill-authoring
SKILL.md (en + zh-Hans docs mirrors)
- docs: regenerate/move the bundled page to
software-development-dogfood (en + zh-Hans), update sidebars.ts,
skills-catalog.md, and the adversarial-ux-test related-skills link
E2E validated: fresh sync_skills() copies to the new nested path;

Maintainer scoping decision for the #51226 salvage: document that
select_context() is for engines that must REPLACE per-request context
(retrieval/routing) — pre_llm_call is inject-only by documented cache
design; that observation-only plugins should implement a MemoryProvider
(sync_turn) rather than a context engine, with on_turn_complete scoped
as the observation mirror for engines that already select; and that a
non-no-op select_context naturally changes the prompt-cache prefix on
turns where the selection changes — engines should return stable
selections when nothing changed.
- website guide: on_turn_complete() now carries the same best-effort coverage
caveat as the ABC docstring (fires from the finalization seam; abnormal
early-return paths bypass it) — removes the doc/code inconsistency.
- test: finalization seam emits on_turn_complete with usage=None + the
interrupted flag for an interrupted finalized turn. Docstring records that
the negative early-return-bypass half is best-effort and deferred to a
shared-seam follow-up rather than pinned via a full run_conversation harness.
- _apply_context_engine_selection: reject an empty list. all([]) is True, so
a [] returned by a failing/buggy engine previously replaced a valid request
with an empty message list the downstream sanitizers can't restore; now it
falls open to the unmodified request (honors the fail-open contract).
Thanks @johnnykor82 for catching this on #41918's review.
- test: empty list keeps the original request (fail-open regression).
- docs: document select_context()/on_turn_complete() in the public
context-engine plugin guide (were still describing only the old contract).
Routine automatic compression stays silent-by-design on chat platforms
(default unchanged, byte-identical). New opt-in config key
compression.progress_notices (bool, default false) opens a gate on the
gateway noise filter (_prepare_gateway_status_message) that lets ROUTINE
compression progress statuses through to chat surfaces.
- Membership is derived from the #69550 status template constants in
agent/conversation_compression.py (compiled to a literal-escaped regex,
never re-inlined wording), so unrelated noisy statuses (aux failures,
provider retry/rate-limit chatter) stay suppressed even when enabled.
- The compaction completion notice (COMPACTION_DONE_STATUS, #69546
lifecycle 'compacted' edge) already flows through the status path and
passes the filter — no new emit site needed.
- Config wired everywhere: hermes_cli/config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG,
cli-config.yaml.example, gateway raw-YAML read (live, mtime-cached),
gateway hot-reload cache-busting key list, website configuration docs.
- Failure notices and manual /compress feedback remain always-visible;
VISIBLE_COMPRESSION_MESSAGES and emit sites untouched.
Design by @havok-training (issue #52995).
Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — the live-kernel workflow needs
uv + JupyterLab + a running server + a cloned hamelnb repo, a niche
setup that shouldn't ship active by default.

catalogs, sidebar, zh-Hans mirror, darwinian-evolver related_skills).

Extends the fanout enum with 'every_n:<N>' (N >= 2): advisors run on the
first iteration of each user turn and every Nth tool iteration after it;
off-cadence iterations REUSE the cached guidance from the last on-cadence
run via the same cache mechanism the user_turn fanout uses, so the
aggregator still gets advice on every step. The cadence counter is scoped
per user turn (resets on a new user message) and only advances when the
advisory state actually changes, so streaming retries never consume a
cadence slot. Mapping form {mode: every_n, n: N} normalizes to the
canonical string. Unknown/degenerate values fall back to per_iteration.
Addresses issue #63393 (advisor fan-out multiplies turn latency/cost by
the tool-iteration count). Redesigned from PR #63448: the submitted shape
skipped references entirely on off-cadence iterations (aggregator ran
advice-less); this version keeps the last advice in play, credited for
the idea and cadence framing.
Config-gated, default-off (default fanout remains per_iteration).

Follow-up fixes on top of the salvaged #22566 mechanism:
- N-collector now counts only REAL actionable user turns via
_is_actionable_user_turn + _is_synthetic_compression_user_turn —
the same filter pair _find_last_user_message_idx uses post-#69291.
The contributor's bare role=='user' + _is_context_summary_content
check let blank platform echoes and continuation/todo rows consume
N slots, silently degrading the guarantee.
- Default flipped 3 -> 1 (behavior-preserving): a default of 3 was
measured to change the tail cut on transcripts whose budget covers
only the last turn. min_tail_user_messages=1 delegates to the
existing single-user anchor; N>1 is opt-in, and the call site is
gated so the default path is byte-identical to main.
- Hardened config parse in agent_init (bool rejected, fractional
floats rejected, floor 1) matching the max_attempts parser shape.
- Wired the recurring external-PR config gaps: hermes_cli/config.py
DEFAULT_CONFIG + cli-config.yaml.example (PR only had cli.py).
- Regression tests: blank echoes / synthetic rows don't count toward
N; tool-call/result pairs never split by the N-boundary (no-orphan
both directions); N-guarantee wins over tail_token_budget and the
_MAX_TAIL_MESSAGE_FLOOR (floor is a minimum, not a cap); default
parity pin; DEFAULT_CONFIG pin.
The phase-1 tool-result prune only runs inside compress(), which fires
near 50% of the context window, so it never triggers on large-window
models; old tool outputs then ride in history and are re-sent every turn.
Add prune_tool_results_only(): the same no-LLM prune on a separate, low
proactive_prune_tokens trigger, run as an elif to the compression branch.
Opt-in (default 0), protects the recent tail by message count.
Add the method to the ContextEngine base as a no-op default so pluggable
engines inherit it safely (the post-tool-call path never AttributeErrors on
a non-built-in engine); the built-in compressor supplies the real prune.
Register both keys under the top-level compression config with defaults and
document them.
Add --long-description / --long-description-file to `hermes slack
manifest` so the generated app manifest can carry Slack's
display_information.long_description (175–4,000 characters), with
validation of the length bounds, mutual-exclusion with --slashes-only,
and UTF-8 file input. Also propagate the manifest command's exit status
through cmd_slack so validation failures reach the shell.
Squash of the two commits from PR #65256 — one commit per contributor
on this salvage branch.
Salvaged from #65256
Build the full reaction pipeline on top of the #29916 base:
- Opt-in gate: slack.reaction_triggers (default OFF — reaction events
stay acked-and-dropped so busy channels don't wake the agent on every
emoji). 'true' routes reactions on the bot's OWN messages; an explicit
emoji-name list routes those emojis from any message (handoff flows).
- reaction_removed events now route too, distinguished by the
cross-platform text convention reaction:added:<emoji> /
reaction:removed:<emoji> (matches the Feishu and Photon adapters, so
agents and skills see one shape everywhere).
- Authorization: the reactor becomes the synthesized message's user, so
the early _is_user_authorized gate and allowed_channels whitelist
apply exactly as for typed messages. _hermes_force_process only skips
the mention requirement (a reaction on the bot's own message is
definitionally addressed to the bot), mirroring Feishu/Photon.
- Gateway hooks (#33111 by @johnkattenhorn): every human reaction on a
message item fires reaction:added / reaction:removed through the new
BasePlatformAdapter.set_reaction_handler → GatewayRunner
._handle_reaction_event → HookRegistry.emit, independent of the
routing opt-in. Documented in hooks.md.
- Channel handoff (#45265 by @Kev-fs): slack.reaction_trigger_target
routes the reaction turn to a configured channel (top-level via
_hermes_no_thread_response + reply-anchor suppression in
gateway/platforms/base.py) or C123:<ts> thread.
- Manifest: reaction_removed event subscription added alongside
reaction_added/reactions:read.
- Docs: slack.md Reaction Triggers section; hooks.md event table rows.
Also credits #44508 by @harrisonmedmedmetrics (inbound reaction_added
handling — same plumbing class, superseded by this consolidated shape).

Documents user-facing wave-1+2 Slack behavior that had no docs coverage:
- decision table for require_mention / free_response_channels /
require_mention_channels / thread_require_mention / strict_mention /
ignore_other_user_mentions and how they compose
- 'Accepting messages from other bots' section with the post-#69483
semantics: allow_bots=mentions requires a CURRENT mention from
peer bots (text or Block Kit blocks); thread state never admits them
- clarify one-tap buttons (choice buttons + Other free-text mode,
in-place resolution, double-click guard, expiry message)
- slash replies are ephemeral: replace-ack, chunking, 5-post cap with
explicit truncation notice, postEphemeral fallback, never-public rule
- cron deliver targeting (slack -> home channel, slack:C... channel,
slack:U... resolved to DM) incl. standalone sender + MEDIA uploads
- send_message media + bare-user-ID DM resolution and caption behavior
Refs #26184.
Salvaged from #45765 by @navahc09 — kept the PR's callout structure
and placement, rewrote the content to match current behavior:
Slack blocks native slash commands in threads and never delivers them,
so Hermes recognises a leading '!' as an alternate command prefix.
Post-C3 command fixes the bang form also works behind a mention
(@Hermes !cmd) and with leading whitespace; unknown '!' tokens pass
through to the agent unchanged. Cross-linked the detailed
slack.md section.
- Add SLACK_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION, SLACK_IGNORE_OTHER_USER_MENTIONS and
SLACK_REQUIRE_MENTION_CHANNELS to the conftest behavioral-env force-clear
list so config-loader side effects can't leak between tests (same class
of leak the existing SLACK_* entries guard against).
- Document thread_require_mention and require_mention_channels in the
Slack messaging guide next to the other mention-gating options.
Adds the option to the Mention & Trigger Behavior section: leading-
mention semantics, opt-in default, env var, and DM/MPIM scope (1:1 DMs
unaffected; MPIMs apply it like channels).
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01TKsNdptNdo9CqT2u7JMdkH
markVoicePlaybackInterrupted() / takeVoicePlaybackInterrupted() mirror
the backend latch in the renderer (the barge happens client-side, where
the audio plays). VAD barges and typing over playback mark it; the next
prompt.submit carries interrupted:true, which the TUI gateway latches
into the model note.
Removes Homebrew and PyPI wheel/sdist as Hermes distribution paths while
preserving the supported source, Docker, and Nix workflows.
Changes:
- Removes the Homebrew formula, PyPI publish workflow, sdist manifest
(MANIFEST.in), and wheel/sdist release-attachment logic from scripts/release.py.
- Keeps setuptools metadata and entry points required by editable installs
and Docker/Nix builds, but adds a setup.py guard that rejects wheel/sdist
builds outside a sealed Nix derivation (HERMES_NIX_BUILD=1).
- Removes pip/Homebrew install detection, PyPI update checks, the pip
self-update path, the deprecation-banner state, the postinstall subcommand,
wheel data-directory fallbacks in agent/i18n.py and hermes_constants.py,
and the ACP Registry manifest/version-lockstep release logic.
- Adds /nix/store/ path detection so `nix run` / `nix profile install`
installs (which don't set HERMES_MANAGED) are correctly identified as
"nix" rather than falling through to "git"/"unknown".
- Retired install-method values ("pip", "homebrew") in existing
.install_method stamps (both code-scoped and home-scoped) are ignored by
the allowlist reader and fall through to "unknown" instead of resurrecting
a retired enum value.
- Updates Nix packaging to ship bare runtime data (locales, optional-mcps)
through store symlinks and wrapper env vars instead of wheel data-files.
- Removes the ACP Registry manifest/icon and their version-lockstep tests.
- Deletes or rewrites packaging, pip-update, Homebrew, and ACP Registry
tests; adds parametrized coverage for the packaging build guard covering
BOTH sdist and wheel paths (the guards live in separate cmdclass entries
— a passing sdist test proves nothing about the wheel path).
- Updates installation/platform documentation and related user-facing copy.
- Adjusts the supply-chain scan so deleted install-hook files do not trigger
a finding, while additions or modifications still require the existing
ci-reviewed label gate.
Supported installation paths (unchanged):
- git installer (install.sh)
- Docker
- Nix/NixOS
- editable development installs (uv sync, uv pip install -e ., pip install -e .)
Update the CLI and messaging guides so the default `interrupt` mode reflects
the new behavior: a follow-up redirects the active turn (preserving displayed
reasoning and completed work, letting running tools finish at a safe boundary)
rather than hard-stopping it, with `/stop` still the explicit hard stop.
