The salvaged main-agent fix (sanidhyasin) applies model.default_headers
to the primary OpenAI client, but the auxiliary client (title generation,
context compression, vision routing) builds its own clients and did not
read the override. For a `provider: custom` endpoint behind a gateway/WAF
that rejects the OpenAI SDK's identifying headers, the main turn would
succeed while auxiliary calls to the same endpoint still failed with the
opaque 502/4xx from #40033.
Add agent.auxiliary_client._apply_user_default_headers() (user values win
over provider/SDK defaults; no-op when unconfigured) and apply it at every
OpenAI-wire client construction site:
- _try_custom_endpoint() — config-level `model.provider: custom`
- the named custom-provider branch (custom_providers/providers entries),
including the anthropic-SDK-missing OpenAI-wire fallback
- the api-key-provider, async-conversion, and main resolve_provider_client
fallback branches
To prevent the two clients ever drifting on precedence/value handling,
AIAgent._apply_user_default_headers (run_agent.py) now delegates the config
read + merge to this shared helper (run_agent already imports from
auxiliary_client). Native Anthropic/Bedrock branches are untouched (they
don't use the OpenAI wire).
8 new tests (helper semantics + config-level custom + named custom);
full aux + attribution header suites green (295).
Custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints sitting behind a gateway/WAF can reject
the OpenAI Python SDK's default identifying headers (User-Agent: OpenAI/Python,
X-Stainless-*) and return an opaque 502/4xx even though the same request body
succeeds under curl. There was no supported way to override those headers.
Add a model.default_headers config key whose values are merged onto the
OpenAI client's default_headers, taking precedence over provider- and
SDK-supplied defaults. Applied at client construction and on every credential
swap / client rebuild so the override survives reconnects. No-op for native
Anthropic / Bedrock modes and when unconfigured.
compress_context() sets last_prompt_tokens=-1 right after compression to
mark "no real API usage yet". The preflight display-seed used
`_preflight_tokens > (last_prompt_tokens or 0)`, and `(-1 or 0)` is -1
(truthy), so any positive rough estimate clobbered the sentinel with a
schema-inflated count — re-triggering compression on the next turn.
Treat any negative value as "no real data yet" and skip the seed.
Salvaged from #40246 as the minimal root-cause fix. The original also
added an `_awaiting_suppression_count` bounded-window state machine to
should_compress() across 3 files; left out here to keep blast radius
small — the sentinel guard alone fixes the re-fire. The suppression
window can be added separately if the usage=None-stub edge case warrants it.

* test(kimi): align stale parity/profile tests with thinking-xor-effort contract
ce4e74b3 (fix(kimi): send thinking xor reasoning_effort, never both)
changed the Kimi profile to emit at most one of extra_body.thinking or a
top-level reasoning_effort, and added tests/plugins/model_providers/test_kimi_profile.py
to pin it — but left two older test files still asserting the removed
'send both' behavior, turning main red for every PR branched after it.
Update the stale assertions to the xor contract:
- explicit recognized effort (low|medium|high) -> reasoning_effort only,
no thinking
- enabled w/o effort, or no reasoning_config -> thinking:enabled only,
no reasoning_effort
- disabled -> thinking:disabled only
No production change.
* test(kimi): cover remaining xor stale assertions (profile_wiring, run_agent)
Two more test files asserted the pre-ce4e74b3 'thinking + reasoning_effort
together' behavior — landed in a different CI shard so they surfaced only
after the first batch went green:
- tests/providers/test_profile_wiring.py::TestKimiProfileParity (2)
- tests/run_agent/test_run_agent.py::TestBuildApiKwargs (3: kimi-coding,
moonshot, moonshot-cn)
Same realignment to the xor contract: default/enabled-without-effort emits
thinking:enabled and no reasoning_effort; explicit effort emits
reasoning_effort only. Verified by running the full provider +
TestBuildApiKwargs Kimi surface (202 passed) plus a codebase-wide grep for
any remaining paired thinking+effort assertion (none).
The ChatGPT Codex OAuth backend hard-caps gpt-5.5 at a 272K context window
(verified live: a ~330K-token request to chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses
is rejected with context_length_exceeded while ~250K succeeds; the same slug
exposes 1.05M on the direct OpenAI API / OpenRouter and 400K on Copilot). At the
default 50% trigger, auto-compaction fires at ~136K — half the usable window.
Raise the trigger to 85% (~231K) on this exact route only, gated by a new
compression.codex_gpt55_autoraise config flag (default true). When it fires,
emit a one-time notice (CLI inline print + gateway status_callback replay) with
the exact opt-back-out command. gpt-5.5 on any other provider keeps the user's
global threshold.
- _is_codex_gpt55() matches the 5.5 family only on provider=openai-codex
- _compression_threshold_for_model() now provider-aware + opt-out param
- config key + _config_version bump (27->28) for backfill
- docs + tests (40 cases in test_arcee_trinity_overrides.py)
The standalone Kimi/Moonshot profile (api.moonshot.ai/v1) sent both
extra_body.thinking AND a top-level reasoning_effort. With no reasoning
config it even defaulted to thinking:enabled + reasoning_effort:medium,
pairing them on every default call. Moonshot treats these as mutually
exclusive (cannot specify both 'thinking' and 'reasoning_effort').
Align with the kimi-k2 handling already shipped for the opencode-go relay:
send effort when a recognized low|medium|high is requested, otherwise fall
back to the extra_body.thinking toggle. Disabled sends thinking:disabled
only. Never both.
Reported by Cars29 (NOUS Discord). DeepSeek was deliberately left untouched:
its native endpoint accepts both (verified by the live guardrail in
test_deepseek_v4_thinking_live.py), so the report's DeepSeek claim does not
hold there.
Tests: tests/plugins/model_providers/test_kimi_profile.py pins the xor
contract across all config shapes.
#40909 added `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` to `windows_detach_flags()`,
which fixed the headline bug (gateway dies after Desktop GUI update
and never comes back). The flag's own docstring acknowledges that
restrictive parent job objects can still refuse breakaway with
`ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED`, surfacing as `OSError` on the `subprocess.Popen`
call:
"Callers in this codebase already wrap detached spawns in
try/except OSError and fall back to a cmd.exe wrapper, so the
breakaway-denied case degrades gracefully rather than crashing."
That's true for `_spawn_detached` in `gateway_windows.py` (the
`hermes gateway start` path), which has both the breakaway bit AND a
retry-without-breakaway fallback. It's NOT true for the post-update
watcher path in `launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart`
(`hermes_cli/gateway.py`), which only has `except OSError: return
False` and gives up entirely. If a user's shell/terminal/container
wraps Hermes in a breakaway-denying job, the gateway-respawn watcher
silently fails to launch instead of trying again without breakaway.
This PR closes that gap and adds the regression tests that were
missing from the original fix.
## Changes
### `hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py`
Adds a sibling helper `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()` so
callers can express the fallback symbolically (via the helper) rather
than coding the magic `& ~0x01000000` mask at every site. Documented
on `windows_detach_flags` and `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway`
with the recommended try/except pattern.
### `hermes_cli/gateway.py::launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart`
Two changes, both aligned with the canonical pattern in
`gateway_windows._spawn_detached`:
1. The outer watcher Popen now wraps in `try/except OSError`, and on
failure retries with `windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()`
(POSIX never reaches this branch — `start_new_session=True` can't
raise OSError).
2. The inlined respawn payload (the `python -c` watcher) also
wraps its CreateProcess in try/except OSError and retries with
`_flags & ~_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` on failure. This matters
because the watcher's job-object inheritance is independent of the
outer process's — even if the outer Popen succeeds with breakaway,
the respawned gateway might inherit a job that doesn't.
### Regression tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py`
#40909 shipped the fix without any test that the breakaway bit is
present (the existing `test_windows_detach_flags_has_expected_win32_bits`
asserted only the three legacy bits). Four new tests close that:
- `test_windows_detach_flags_includes_breakaway_from_job` — explicit
assertion that the breakaway bit is in the default bundle, with the
rationale spelled out in the docstring so a future maintainer
staring at this test understands why removing it would resurrect
the gateway-dies-after-GUI-update bug.
- `test_windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway_drops_only_that_bit`
— fallback payload keeps the other three detach bits intact.
- `test_launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart_inlined_watcher_uses_breakaway`
— static-text check on the stringified watcher payload. The inlined
Python program isn't reachable via normal import-time inspection
because it lives in a `textwrap.dedent("""...""")` literal that
gets passed to a separate `python -c` interpreter. Asserting that
both `_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` (symbolic) and `0x01000000` (hex
literal) appear inside the dedent block is a sufficient regression
guard against accidental refactors.
- `test_launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart_outer_popen_has_access_denied_fallback`
— static check that this PR's fallback retry is wired up
symbolically. Without standing up a real Windows job object that
refuses breakaway, we can't trigger the OSError in a unit test;
the text guard catches the case where a future refactor removes
the helper import or the `& ~_CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` retry.
Also extends `test_windows_detach_flags_has_expected_win32_bits` to
include the breakaway bit assertion and updates
`test_windows_flags_zero_on_posix` to cover the new helper.
## Tests
Locally on Windows: 8/8 in the `-k "detach or breakaway or
popen_kwargs or launch_detached or gateway_run_update or
hermes_cli_gateway"` slice pass.
Broader `tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway*.py + test_windows_native_support.py`:
172 passed, 10 failed. All 10 failures are pre-existing POSIX-only
tests running on a Windows host (os.geteuid, SIGKILL fallback,
is_linux fixture mismatches). Stashing this PR and re-running on bare
post-#40909 main reproduces all 10 identically — none are regressions.
POSIX paths unchanged: `windows_detach_flags()` and
`windows_detach_flags_without_breakaway()` both return 0 off Windows,
`windows_detach_popen_kwargs()` still yields `{"start_new_session": True}`.
## Out of scope
- The other detached-spawn site in `hermes_cli/gateway.py` (around
line 3068) also uses `windows_detach_popen_kwargs()` + `except
OSError`. It deserves the same fallback treatment but the codepath
is different enough (not the update-flow watcher) that it warrants
a separate PR with its own scrutiny.
- `gateway/run.py` has Windows branches with `windows_detach_popen_kwargs`
too — same reasoning.
## Context
Follow-up to #40909 (merged). I had a parallel PR (#40934, closed)
that duplicated the core breakaway fix; the bits unique to that PR
that #40909 didn't cover are the contents of this one. Closing #40934
and opening this slimmed-down version as the focused follow-up.
Follow-up to the salvaged perf fix. The new force_fresh_nous_tier param was
inserted into list_authenticated_providers between custom_providers and
max_models. Make it keyword-only (*) so a positional caller passing max_models
as the 5th arg can never silently mis-bind it to the tier-refresh flag, and
add a signature-contract test that fails if the keyword-only separator is
later dropped. All in-repo callers already use keyword args; verified no
caller breaks.
On Windows with non-UTF-8 console encodings (e.g. cp949, cp1252),
StreamHandler emits raise UnicodeEncodeError when log messages contain
characters outside the console codepage — such as the em-dash (U+2014)
in the session hygiene message.
This crashed the gateway process silently, leaving no diagnostic output.
Fix: add _safe_stderr() helper that wraps sys.stderr in a TextIOWrapper
with encoding='utf-8' and errors='replace' when the console encoding
is not UTF-8. Applied to both:
- hermes_logging.py setup_verbose_logging() stderr handler
- gateway/run.py optional stderr handler
The wrapper ensures log lines are never lost — un-encodable characters
are replaced with '?' instead of crashing the process.
Fixes#40432
* fix(gateway,windows): reliability — supervisor task, JOB breakaway, status --deep
Three coordinated fixes for the Windows gateway reliability story:
1. CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB on every detached spawn
The 'hermes update' triggered from the Electron Desktop GUI ran inside
Electron's job object. Without breakaway, the post-update gateway
watcher spawned by update — already DETACHED_PROCESS — was still
reaped when Electron's job tore down, so the gateway never came back
after a GUI-initiated update. Adds CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB (0x01000000)
to:
- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py::windows_detach_flags() — used by
every helper that calls windows_detach_popen_kwargs(), including
launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart()
- The watcher subprocess's own respawn snippet in
hermes_cli/gateway.py (inlined flags so the watcher's child
respawn also breaks away)
_spawn_detached() in gateway_windows.py already had the flag; this
change brings the rest of the codebase to parity.
2. Per-minute supervisor Scheduled Task — Windows equivalent of
systemd Restart=always
Introduces hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py and registers it as a
second Scheduled Task ('Hermes_Gateway_Supervisor', SC MINUTE /MO 1,
LIMITED rights) alongside the existing ONLOGON task. Every minute,
the supervisor uses the same gateway.status.get_running_pid() probe
as 'hermes gateway status' and, if no gateway is alive, calls
gateway_windows._spawn_detached() (which now includes BREAKAWAY) to
bring one back.
Covers every crash mode, not just 'machine rebooted': taskkill,
OOM, GUI update SIGTERM, parent job teardown. Cheap — one pythonw
startup per minute when down, one PID-existence check per minute
when up.
Wired into both the schtasks-success and Startup-folder-fallback
install paths via _install_supervisor_best_effort(), and removed in
uninstall(). Best-effort: a failing supervisor install logs a
warning but doesn't roll back the primary install.
3. 'hermes gateway status --deep' shows per-probe PASS/FAIL
Replaces the existing terse '--deep' output (which only printed
paths) with an actual diagnostic table:
[1] PID file present
[2] Lock file held by a live process
[3] get_running_pid() result
[4] _pid_exists(pid) — OS-level liveness
[5] gateway_state.json (state + age)
[6] Last lifecycle event from gateway-exit-diag.log
When the high-level summary disagrees with reality, the user can
see exactly which signal is lying.
Test-leak fix
-------------
tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py::TestGatewayCommandWSLMessages
monkey-patched is_linux/is_wsl/supports_systemd_services to simulate
WSL but did NOT stub is_windows(). On a Windows host, the dispatcher
in _gateway_command_inner takes the is_windows() branch BEFORE the
WSL guidance branch, so the test invoked gateway_windows.install()
for real. install() writes to %APPDATA%\...\Startup\Hermes_Gateway.cmd
— the REAL user Startup folder, never sandboxed by tmp_path — pointing
at the test's pytest-of-<user>/pytest-<N>/.../gateway-service/ wrapper.
When pytest tore down the tmp_path, every subsequent Windows login
flashed a cmd.exe window that failed to find the missing target.
Stubs is_windows=False on all four affected tests:
test_install_wsl_no_systemd
test_start_wsl_no_systemd
test_status_wsl_running_manual
test_status_wsl_not_running
Defense-in-depth: _build_startup_launcher() now prefixes the launcher
with 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0', so any future stale Startup
entry silently no-ops instead of flashing a console window.
Status enhancements
-------------------
- status() now reports supervisor task presence alongside the existing
schtasks/Startup info, and nudges the user to reinstall if the
supervisor isn't registered.
- Deep mode dumps both the supervisor task name + script path.
* fix(gateway,windows): drop the per-minute supervisor task — keep breakaway + deep probes
Earlier in this branch we added a per-minute schtasks-based supervisor to
respawn the gateway after crashes / GUI-update SIGTERMs. The implementation
flashed a brief console window on every firing, which stole window focus.
We tried several variants:
- cmd.exe wrapper invoking pythonw -> flashes (cmd.exe is console-subsystem)
- schtasks /TR pointing at pythonw -> flashes (uv venv launcher pythonw is
actually subsystem=Console, not GUI; it respawns the real pythonw)
- schtasks /TR pointing at base uv -> still flashes (Task Scheduler-side
conhost preallocation; documented Windows quirk)
- XML registration with <Hidden>true> -> still flashes (<Hidden> only hides
the task in the Task Scheduler UI, not the spawned window)
Researched what leading projects do:
- Ollama: GUI-subsystem tray exe + Startup-folder shortcut. No supervisor.
- Tailscale: real Windows Service via SCM. Session 0, no console possible.
- Syncthing: --no-console flag inside the binary + Startup folder.
- openclaw: VBS Run(..., 0, False) wrapper. Suppresses the *window* but
Super User Q971162 confirms focus-steal still occurs in some cases.
None of these use a per-minute polling scheduled task. The 'auto-restart on
crash' responsibility belongs INSIDE the daemon (Tailscale's in-process
recovery / Ollama's monitor+worker pair) OR is delegated to the Windows
Service Control Manager — not Task Scheduler.
So this commit drops the supervisor entirely. The CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB
fix in _subprocess_compat.py (from commit c1e5fa433) survives — that is the
*real* fix for problem #2 (GUI-update kills gateway): the post-update
watcher in launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart() now breaks out of
Electron's job object, so the gateway respawn watcher survives the GUI
quit and successfully respawns the gateway.
Surviving from c1e5fa433:
* CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB in hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py (fixes#2)
* Inlined breakaway flag in the watcher respawn snippet in gateway.py
* hermes gateway status --deep PASS/FAIL probes (fixes#1 — visibility)
* 'if not exist <target> exit /b 0' guard in _build_startup_launcher
(fixes#3 — silent no-op for stale Startup entries)
* tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_wsl.py is_windows=False stubs (root cause
of #3 — pytest WSL tests no longer leak Startup entries on Win hosts)
Removed in this commit:
* hermes_cli/gateway_supervisor.py (entire file)
* Supervisor section in hermes_cli/gateway_windows.py (~180 lines):
get_supervisor_task_name, get_supervisor_script_path,
_build_supervisor_cmd_script, _write_supervisor_script,
_install_supervisor_task, is_supervisor_task_registered,
_install_supervisor_best_effort
* _install_supervisor_best_effort() calls in install() (3 spots)
* supervisor cleanup block in uninstall()
* supervisor display lines in status() / status(deep=True)
Future direction (out of scope for this PR): the right place for Windows
'Restart=always' semantics is a real Windows Service installed via
pywin32's win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework — session-0 isolation, SCM
auto-restart, no console window possible. That's a meaningful next-PR
project, not a band-aid.
Tests: 51 pass / 2 pre-existing failures in
tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_{windows,wsl}.py (the 2 failures are
TestSupportsSystemdServicesWSL cases that fail on origin/main too —
unrelated to this PR).
_hook_jsonable() referenced SimpleNamespace without importing it, so
sanitizing any hook payload that contained one raised
NameError: name 'SimpleNamespace' is not defined.
Bedrock, Codex-responses, and the auxiliary client build their
response / message / tool_call objects as SimpleNamespace and hand the
raw objects to the post_api_request hook. The hook call sites swallow
exceptions (except Exception: pass), so the crash silently dropped the
observability hook for those providers.
Add the missing `from types import SimpleNamespace` and a regression
test covering the SimpleNamespace sanitization path.
_read_events() returned normally when self._ws was closed-but-non-None
(the while-condition is false on entry). _listen_loop treats a normal
return as a clean read, resets backoff to 0, and immediately retries —
a tight busy-loop pinning CPU. Raising on entry routes it through the
reconnect/backoff path instead.

A memory provider tool whose name collides with a built-in core tool
(e.g. clarify, delegate_task) was skipped from agent.tools at init but
lingered in MemoryManager._tool_to_provider, where the has_tool dispatch
branch could route a call to a tool that was never registered (#40466).
Block the collision at registration instead of patching dispatch:
- MemoryManager.add_provider rejects any tool whose name is in
_HERMES_CORE_TOOLS (warn + skip), so it never enters the routing table.
- get_all_tool_schemas applies the same filter, so the manager never
advertises a schema it would refuse to route.
Built-ins always win, matching the invariant used by the TTS/browser/
search provider registries. Makes the dispatch-hijack structurally
impossible regardless of branch ordering.
Closes#40466.
Adds regression tests for the SSH cwd fix: local backend keeps
host-validated session cwd; non-local backend uses TERMINAL_CWD (or
terminal.cwd config) verbatim without host isdir() validation; sentinel
values fall back to session cwd.
Home Assistant is a bundled plugin now (#40709) and declares
allow_update_command=True on its PlatformEntry. The registry fallback
in _handle_update_command already covers it, so the frozenset entry is
a redundant double-allow — same cleanup #40711 did for Discord and
Mattermost. Adds a registry-fallback test mirroring the existing
discord/mattermost cases.
* feat: uninstall the Chat GUI without removing the agent (CLI + desktop UI)
Adds a GUI-only uninstall path so people can remove the desktop Chat GUI
while keeping the Hermes agent + their config/sessions/.env, and surfaces
the three CLI uninstall modes inside the desktop app's Settings → About.
CLI:
- New hermes_cli/gui_uninstall.py: cross-platform discovery + removal of the
desktop GUI's artifacts (source-built dist/release/node_modules + build
stamp, the packaged app bundle, and the Electron userData dir) on Linux,
macOS, and Windows. Never touches the agent source, venv, or user data.
- `hermes uninstall --gui` removes only the Chat GUI; `--gui-summary` prints a
JSON install snapshot (used by the desktop UI to gate options + detect a
missing agent for a future lite client).
- `hermes uninstall --yes` / `--full --yes` now run non-interactively, sharing
the destructive sequence via a new _perform_uninstall() helper. The keep-data
and full flows also sweep the GUI artifacts.
Desktop:
- electron/desktop-uninstall.cjs: pure helpers mapping each mode (gui/lite/full)
to CLI flags, resolving the running app bundle per OS, and building the
detached cleanup script that waits for the app to exit, runs the Python
uninstall, and removes the bundle.
- IPC hermes:uninstall:summary / :run, preload bridge, and types.
- Settings → About "Danger zone" with the three options; agent-removing
options hide when no local agent is detected.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_gui_uninstall.py (22 pass with the existing
uninstall tests), electron/desktop-uninstall.test.cjs (17 pass, wired into
test:desktop:platforms). Docs: desktop.md "Uninstalling" + cli-commands.md.
* fix(desktop): tear down backend process tree before GUI uninstall (Windows lock safety)
The desktop uninstall cleanup script waited only on the desktop app's own
PID, but a backend grandchild (gateway / pty terminal / hermes REPL) can
outlive it and keep hermes.exe + venv files mandatory-locked on Windows —
making the script's rmdir half-fail and leaving a partial install, the same
failure class as the self-update path's #37532.
- main.cjs: runDesktopUninstall now awaits releaseBackendLock() before
spawning the cleanup script — tree-kills every backend PID the desktop owns
(primary + pool) via taskkill /T /F and polls the venv shim until unlocked.
Extracted the shared core out of releaseBackendLockForUpdate so both the
update hand-off and the uninstaller use the identical, incident-hardened
teardown. No-op on macOS/Linux (no mandatory locks).
- desktop-uninstall.cjs: Windows cleanup script removes the bundle via a
bounded rmdir retry loop (10x, 1s) instead of a single rmdir, since Windows
releases directory handles lazily even after the holding process exits.
- Dropped a fragile tasklist|findstr reap-by-path attempt; the Electron-side
tree-kill-by-PID is the reliable mechanism.
Tests: desktop-uninstall.test.cjs updated for the retry-loop output (17 pass).
* fix(desktop): address review on GUI uninstall (venv self-delete, gates, wait-loop)
Resolves @OutThisLife's review on #40355:
1. full mode now gated on agent presence (needsAgent: true). It removes the
agent + user data, so on a lite client with no local agent it's hidden
like lite — no more offering to remove an agent that isn't there.
2. (Finding 3, the real bug) lite/full no longer rmtree the venv from the
venv's OWN python. On Windows a running python.exe is mandatory-locked, so
that half-fails. New lightweight 'python -m hermes_cli.uninstall --mode X'
entrypoint (stdlib-only imports) lets the desktop run agent-removing modes
under the SYSTEM python (findSystemPython) with PYTHONPATH=<agentRoot>, so
import hermes_cli resolves from source while the venv is torn down. Falls
back to venv python + logs when no system python (gui-only unaffected).
3. Windows wait-loop is now bounded (60 tries, matching POSIX) and matches the
PID as a whole space-delimited token via findstr (no substring 99->990
trap, no redundant bare find). set HERMES_HOME/PID/PYTHONPATH now quoted.
4. Renamed the misleading 'returns null for dev run' test — the dev-run safety
is shouldRemoveAppBundle(isPackaged=false), which the test now asserts.
Docs: note that --gui on a source checkout also sweeps node_modules/build
output. Tests: 18 python + 19 desktop pass.
Conflict resolution prefixes --workspace web before --silent (preserving
the Termux npm_workspace_args path); update test_cmd_update fixture to match.
Add zakame@zakame.net -> zakame mapping so CI author check passes.
- check_dir = npm_dir if audit_extra else npm_dir evaluated identically in
both branches; change to PROJECT_ROOT if audit_extra else npm_dir so
workspace-scoped audits check the workspace root's node_modules
- Add test_npm_install_uses_workspace_web_scope asserting --workspace web is
passed adjacently in the _build_web_ui npm install invocation
- Update the --skip-build pre-build hint in the dashboard startup path
to use `npm install --workspace web && npm run build -w web` so users
don't accidentally trigger a desktop rebuild by following the hint.
- Add test_tui_launch_install_uses_workspace_scope to assert that the
TUI launch npm install carries --workspace ui-tui, covering the call
site added in the prior commit.
- Add --workspace ui-tui to the TUI launch npm install, the one call
site missed by the prior commit. Without scoping it ran from
PROJECT_ROOT and still resolved apps/desktop via the apps/* glob.
- Update the two manual-recovery hints in _build_web_ui (npm install
failure and build failure paths) to use the scoped form
`npm install --workspace web && npm run build -w web` so users
following the hint don't accidentally trigger a desktop rebuild.
- Update the stale test assertion in test_cmd_update.py to expect
--workspace web in the _build_web_ui npm ci call, which was
previously unreachable through the if-guard and left the workspace-
scoping change from the prior commit unverified.
Follow-up on the backend-visible artifact-path fix.
- Extract the cache-mount iteration loop into a reusable, backend-agnostic
credential_files.map_cache_path_to_container(host_path, container_base) that
returns the POSIX container path or None. to_agent_visible_cache_path() now
delegates to it (keeping its Docker-only gate), and image_generation_tool's
_agent_visible_cache_path() delegates to it too — eliminating the duplicated
loop and the divergent path-join (posixpath vs Path) between the two.
- Drop the now-unused posixpath/Path imports from image_generation_tool.py.
- Document the agent_visible_cache_base getattr probe as a forward-looking
optional hook (no producer yet) so it doesn't read as a typo'd attribute.
- Add unit tests for map_cache_path_to_container.
`gateway/run.py::_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS` was a hardcoded frozenset
listing every messaging platform allowed to invoke the `/update` slash
command. Plugin-migrated platforms (currently Discord and Mattermost,
soon also Home Assistant via #32500) declare `allow_update_command=True`
on their `PlatformEntry`, and `_handle_update_command` already falls
back to the registry when a platform isn't in the frozenset. The result
was a silent redundancy: those entries said "allowed" twice, and the
registry flag was a no-op for them in practice.
- Removed `Platform.DISCORD` and `Platform.MATTERMOST` from the frozenset.
- Updated the docstring to make the split explicit (built-ins live in
the frozenset; plugins use `allow_update_command` on the registry entry).
The remaining frozenset entries are all still built-in platforms living
under `gateway/platforms/` today. Future plugin migrations should drop
their entry from the frozenset as part of the migration PR (or in a
sibling chore PR like this one).
Added a `TestUpdateCommandPlatformGate` test class that pins down all
three branches of the gate so future changes don't silently regress:
- Programmatic interfaces (`Platform.WEBHOOK`, `Platform.API_SERVER`)
must remain blocked.
- Plugin-migrated platforms (Discord, Mattermost) must pass via the
registry fallback.
- Built-in platforms in the hardcoded frozenset (Telegram) must
still pass without needing the registry.
The gate previously had zero direct test coverage — its only existing
coverage was `test_no_adapter_for_platform` which exercised a different
code path.
Move gateway/platforms/homeassistant.py into plugins/platforms/homeassistant/
following the same shape as the Mattermost and Discord migrations.
- Adapter file is renamed via git mv (history is preserved).
- register() exposes the platform via the plugin system instead of the
hardcoded Platform.HOMEASSISTANT elif in gateway/run.py::build_adapter().
- _standalone_send() replaces the legacy _send_homeassistant() helper in
tools/send_message_tool.py. Out-of-process cron delivery
(deliver=homeassistant from a cron process not co-located with the
gateway) now flows through the registry's standalone_sender_fn path
instead of the hardcoded elif.
- _is_connected() probes HASS_TOKEN via hermes_cli.gateway.get_env_value
so existing connected-platform checks behave identically.
The HASS_TOKEN / HASS_URL env-to-PlatformConfig seeding in
gateway/config.py stays in core — same pattern bluebubbles, mattermost,
and discord migrations followed. No setup_fn or apply_yaml_config_fn is
registered because Home Assistant has no _setup_homeassistant wizard in
hermes_cli/setup.py and no homeassistant: YAML block in config.yaml today;
setup runs through the existing hermes_cli/tools_config.py toolset wizard.
Test imports were rewritten across tests/gateway/test_homeassistant.py,
tests/integration/test_ha_integration.py, and
tests/tools/test_send_message_missing_platforms.py; the legacy
(token, extra, chat_id, message)-shaped _send_homeassistant call site is
preserved via a small SimpleNamespace shim in
test_send_message_missing_platforms.py (same approach used when
mattermost moved).
- Focused HA suites (64 tests across the three rewritten files) pass.
- Broader gateway/cron sweep produces 10 failures identical to main
baseline (telegram approval/model-picker xdist isolation flakes,
wecom_callback defusedxml issue, cron script_timeout fixture issue).
Zero net new failures.
A cron session's first message is the injected "[IMPORTANT: you are running as
a scheduled cron job …]" delivery hint, so with no explicit title the sidebar
and history rows fell back to that hint as their label.
Set the session title from the job (name → short prompt → id) with a run-time
suffix for uniqueness against the sessions.title index. Done after the run so
the agent's own INSERT keeps model/system_prompt — this only updates the title.
The dependency-verification repair in _verify_core_dependencies_installed
ran 'pip install --reinstall -e .' via _run_install_with_heartbeat directly,
bypassing the Windows shim-quarantine that the primary install path performs.
That reinstall rewrites the entry-point shims, and on Windows the live
hermes.exe is the running process — pip can neither delete nor overwrite it.
With no quarantine, the shim was left missing and 'hermes' dropped off PATH
('hermes' is not recognized... after update).
Extract the rename-out-of-the-way / restore-on-failure logic into a reusable
_run_quarantined_install helper and route both the primary editable installs
and the --reinstall -e . repair through it. The per-package repair installs
only third-party deps (never hermes-agent), so they don't touch the shims and
are left untouched. Add a regression test (fails on old code, passes on new).
- check-attribution: add chilltulpa@gmail.com -> TheGardenGallery to
AUTHOR_MAP in scripts/release.py (new external contributor via the
carried-over commits).
- ty: the dashboard back-compat test imported pytest but never used it,
tripping unresolved-import. Drop the dead import — tests are plain
functions driving the parser via subprocess, no pytest API needed.
Older Hermes desktop app shells (<= 0.15.x) spawn the backend as
`hermes dashboard --no-open --tui --host ... --port ...`. The --tui flag
was removed from the dashboard subcommand in cae6b5486 (embedded chat is
always on now).
When a user's CLI updates past that commit but their desktop app binary
has not, argparse hard-errored with 'unrecognized arguments: --tui' and
exit(2). The backend died before becoming ready and the desktop GUI showed
only 'Hermes couldn't start' with no actionable cause — a confusing brick
for anyone whose app and CLI versions drift apart across an update.
Add a hidden, deprecated, accepted-and-ignored --tui flag to the dashboard
subparser so an old app shell + new CLI degrades gracefully. Hidden from
--help via argparse.SUPPRESS so we don't re-advertise a removed feature.
Safe to delete once the floor app version is well past 0.16.0.
Adds tests/hermes_cli/test_dashboard_tui_backcompat.py pinning: the flag
parses without error, stays hidden from --help, and the modern (no --tui)
invocation is unaffected.
The cron scheduler tick loop only ran inside `hermes gateway run`, but the
desktop app spawns a `hermes dashboard` backend with no gateway — so any cron
a user created in the app was saved and never fired (silently).
Run a minimal scheduler ticker inside the dashboard lifespan, gated on a new
HERMES_DESKTOP=1 marker the electron shell injects, so server `hermes dashboard`
is unaffected. Cross-process safe via the existing cron/.tick.lock, so it never
double-fires alongside a real gateway.
Address the two non-blocking follow-ups from review:
- next_call is now single-use per middleware frame. A second invocation
raises instead of silently re-running the downstream provider/tool, so
the terminal call cannot execute twice via the chain. The error surfaces
through the existing handler, which preserves the first downstream result.
- Request-middleware payload copies go through _safe_copy(), which falls
back to a shallow dict copy when deepcopy() fails on a non-deepcopyable
member (clients, callbacks, file handles) instead of aborting the pass.
Adds regression coverage for both: double next_call() keeps the terminal
single-run, and a non-deepcopyable (threading.Lock) request payload still
runs middleware via the shallow fallback.
":" is FTS5's column-filter operator. With a single-column "content" FTS table,
an unquoted query like "TODO: fix" parses as "column:term" and raises
"no such column: TODO". search_messages() catches that OperationalError at the
execute site and returns [], so colon queries silently yield zero hits even when
the content is present. This hits both the session_search tool and the dashboard
search.
Add ":" to the Step 2 metacharacter strip in _sanitize_fts5_query(), mirroring
how the other FTS5 syntax characters are already stripped. Colons inside quoted
phrases are preserved (Step 1 protects them). Adds a regression test asserting a
colon query still finds matching content, plus unit assertions on the sanitizer.
Track successful next_call completion separately from invocation so execution
middleware that catches and translates a downstream provider/tool failure does
not accidentally convert that failure into a successful None result.
Also avoid wrapping BaseException from downstream execution, and document the
execution middleware error semantics.
Tests cover:
- pre-next_call middleware failures fail open to the remaining chain
- post-next_call middleware failures preserve the downstream result
- translated downstream failures propagate instead of returning None
- downstream BaseException is not wrapped

Salvages the primary fix from #24275 (asdlem) and layers a last-resort
fallback on top:
Primary (from #24275): the real macOS 26 root cause is that `gui/<uid>`
isn't reachable from non-Aqua/background sessions. Switch the launchd
domain to `user/<uid>` and mark the plist valid for both Aqua and
Background sessions (LimitLoadToSessionType), restoring a real supervised
service. Treat exit code 125 as "job unloaded" so start/restart
re-bootstrap and retry.
Last resort (this PR): the #23387 reporter saw `user/<uid>` bootstrap
also fail with error 5 on some hosts. When even a fresh bootstrap can't
manage the domain (codes 5/125 persist), degrade to a CLI-managed
detached background process instead of crashing — logs to gateway.log,
PID tracked via gateway.pid so stop/status/restart keep working. Print
guidance that it won't auto-start at login or auto-restart on crash.

macOS 26+ broke launchctl management of the gui/<uid> (and user/<uid>)
domains: `bootstrap` returns error 5 and `kickstart` returns error 125
("Domain does not support specified action"), so `hermes gateway
start/install/restart` crashed with a cryptic traceback (#23387).
Detect these codes and degrade gracefully: launch the gateway as a
CLI-managed detached background process (the documented `nohup hermes
gateway run --replace` workaround), with logs to gateway.log and the PID
tracked via gateway.pid so stop/status/restart keep working. Print clear
guidance that the service won't auto-start at login or auto-restart on
crash on this macOS version. launchd_stop also tolerates 125/5 from
bootout and falls through to the PID-based kill.
* fix: respect disabled auto-compaction on context overflow
Port from anomalyco/opencode#30749.
When compression.enabled is false, NO automatic compaction trigger may
fire. The proactive token-threshold paths (preflight + post-response
should_compress gate) already honoured the setting, but the three
provider-overflow recovery paths in the agent loop — long-context-tier
429, 413 payload-too-large, and context-overflow — called
_compress_context() unconditionally, silently compressing and rotating
the session against the user's explicit choice.
Add a single guard at the top of the overflow-recovery dispatch: when
compression is disabled and the error is one of those three overflow
classes, surface a terminal error (compaction_disabled: True) telling the
user to /compress manually, /new, switch to a larger-context model, or
reduce attachments. Manual /compress (force=True) is unaffected — it never
enters this loop.
Tests: new TestOverflowWithCompactionDisabled (413 + 400 overflow don't
compress when disabled; control case still compresses when enabled).
Existing overflow-recovery tests updated to enable compaction explicitly
(they verify the recovery fires); fixture defaults flipped to True to
match production (compression.enabled defaults to True).
* fix(gateway): plain text while busy interrupts by default again
busy_input_mode (default 'interrupt') was advertised as the busy-behavior
knob, but a second knob added in 7abd62719 — busy_text_mode, defaulting to
'queue' — short-circuited every plain TEXT message before busy_input_mode
was consulted. Result: plain follow-ups silently queued instead of
interrupting, even with busy_input_mode left at its 'interrupt' default
(regression #38390, silent-queue #31588).
Collapse to one source of truth: busy_input_mode drives text handling.
busy_text_mode is kept only as a legacy explicit override for back-compat
(existing queue setups keep working); when unset it follows busy_input_mode.
All default fallbacks flipped queue->interrupt. The debounce mechanism is
preserved and now keyed off the resolved mode.
Fixes#38390, #31588.
