When /model is called with no arguments in the interactive CLI, open a
two-step prompt_toolkit modal instead of the previous text-only listing:
1. Provider selection — curses_single_select with all authenticated providers
2. Model selection — live API fetch with curated fallback
Also fixes:
- OpenAI Codex model normalization (openai/gpt-5.4 → gpt-5.4)
- Dedicated Codex validation path using provider_model_ids()
Preserves curses_radiolist (used by setup, tools, plugins) alongside the
new curses_single_select. Retains tool elapsed timer in spinner.

The _get_budget_warning() method already returned None unconditionally —
the entire budget warning system was disabled. Remove all dead code:
- _BUDGET_WARNING_RE regex
- _strip_budget_warnings_from_history() function and its call site
- Both injection blocks (concurrent + sequential tool execution)
- _get_budget_warning() method
- 7 tests for the removed functions
The budget exhaustion grace call system (_budget_exhausted_injected,
_budget_grace_call) is a separate recovery mechanism and is preserved.
* feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route all subcommands into managed container
When container.enable = true, the host `hermes` CLI transparently execs
every subcommand into the managed Docker/Podman container. A symlink
bridge (~/.hermes -> /var/lib/hermes/.hermes) unifies state between host
and container so sessions, config, and memories are shared.
CLI changes:
- Global routing before subcommand dispatch (all commands forwarded)
- docker exec with -u exec_user, env passthrough (TERM, COLORTERM,
LANG, LC_ALL), TTY-aware flags
- Retry with spinner on failure (TTY: 5s, non-TTY: 10s silent)
- Hard fail instead of silent fallback
- HERMES_DEV=1 env var bypasses routing for development
- No routing messages (invisible to user)
NixOS module changes:
- container.hostUsers option: lists users who get ~/.hermes symlink
and automatic hermes group membership
- Activation script creates symlink bridge (with backup of existing
~/.hermes dirs), writes exec_user to .container-mode
- Cleanup on disable: removes symlinks + .container-mode + stops service
- Warning when hostUsers set without addToSystemPackages
* fix: address review — reuse sudo var, add chown -h on symlink update
- hermes_cli/main.py: reuse the existing `sudo` variable instead of
redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` call that could return None
- nix/nixosModules.nix: add missing `chown -h` when updating an
existing symlink target so ownership stays consistent with the
fresh-create and backup-replace branches
* fix: address remaining review items from cursor bugbot
- hermes_cli/main.py: move container routing BEFORE parse_args() so
--help, unrecognised flags, and all subcommands are forwarded
transparently into the container instead of being intercepted by
argparse on the host (high severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: resolve home dirs via
config.users.users.${user}.home instead of hardcoding /home/${user},
supporting users with custom home directories (medium severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: gate hostUsers group membership on
container.enable so setting hostUsers without container mode doesn't
silently add users to the hermes group (low severity)
* fix: simplify container routing — execvp, no retries, let it crash
- Replace subprocess.run retry loop with os.execvp (no idle parent process)
- Extract _probe_container helper for sudo detection with 15s timeout
- Narrow exception handling: FileNotFoundError only in get_container_exec_info,
catch TimeoutExpired specifically, remove silent except Exception: pass
- Collapse needs_sudo + sudo into single sudo_path variable
- Simplify NixOS symlink creation from 4 branches to 2
- Gate NixOS sudoers hint with "On NixOS:" prefix
- Full test rewrite: 18 tests covering execvp, sudo probe, timeout, permissions

Switch estimate_tokens_rough(), estimate_messages_tokens_rough(), and
estimate_request_tokens_rough() from floor division (len // 4) to
ceiling division ((len + 3) // 4). Short texts (1-3 chars) previously
estimated as 0 tokens, causing the compressor and pre-flight checks to
systematically undercount when many short tool results are present.
Also replaced the inline duplicate formula in run_conversation()
(total_chars // 4) with a call to the shared
estimate_messages_tokens_rough() function.
Updated 4 tests that hardcoded floor-division expected values.
Related: issue #6217, PR #6629
Deduplicate todo items by ID before writing to the store, keeping the
last occurrence. Prevents ghost entries when the model sends duplicate
IDs in a single write() call, which corrupts subsequent merge operations.

Add display.interim_assistant_messages config (enabled by default) that
forwards completed assistant commentary between tool calls to the user
as separate chat messages. Models already emit useful status text like
'I'll inspect the repo first.' — this surfaces it on Telegram, Discord,
and other messaging platforms instead of swallowing it.
Independent from tool_progress and gateway streaming. Disabled for
webhooks. Uses GatewayStreamConsumer when available, falls back to
direct adapter send. Tracks response_previewed to prevent double-delivery
when interim message matches the final response.
Also fixes: cursor not stripped from fallback prefix in stream consumer
(affected continuation calculation on no-edit platforms like Signal).
Cherry-picked from PR #7885 by asheriif, default changed to enabled.
Fixes#5016
Three root causes of the 'agent stops mid-task' gateway bug:
1. Compression threshold floor (64K tokens minimum)
- The 50% threshold on a 100K-context model fired at 50K tokens,
causing premature compression that made models lose track of
multi-step plans. Now threshold_tokens = max(50% * context, 64K).
- Models with <64K context are rejected at startup with a clear error.
2. Budget warning removal — grace call instead
- Removed the 70%/90% iteration budget warnings entirely. These
injected '[BUDGET WARNING: Provide your final response NOW]' into
tool results, causing models to abandon complex tasks prematurely.
- Now: no warnings during normal execution. When the budget is
actually exhausted (90/90), inject a user message asking the model
to summarise, allow one grace API call, and only then fall back
to _handle_max_iterations.
3. Activity touches during long terminal execution
- _wait_for_process polls every 0.2s but never reported activity.
The gateway's inactivity timeout (default 1800s) would fire during
long-running commands that appeared 'idle.'
- Now: thread-local activity callback fires every 10s during the
poll loop, keeping the gateway's activity tracker alive.
- Agent wires _touch_activity into the callback before each tool call.
Also: docs update noting 64K minimum context requirement.
Closes#7915 (root cause was agent-loop termination, not Weixin delivery limits).
Complete the contextvars migration by adding HERMES_SESSION_KEY to the
unified _VAR_MAP in session_context.py. Without this, concurrent gateway
handlers race on os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_KEY"].
- Add _SESSION_KEY ContextVar to _VAR_MAP, set_session_vars(), clear_session_vars()
- Wire session_key through _set_session_env() from SessionContext
- Replace os.getenv fallback in tools/approval.py with get_session_env()
(function-level import to avoid cross-layer coupling)
- Keep os.environ set as CLI/cron fallback

- Add --env KEY=VALUE for passing environment variables to stdio MCP servers
- Add --preset for known MCP server templates (empty for now, extensible)
- Validate env var names, reject --env for HTTP servers
- Explicit --command/--url overrides preset defaults
- Remove unused getpass import
Based on PR #7936 by @syaor4n (stitch preset removed, generic infra kept).
Add a second WeCom integration mode for regular enterprise self-built
applications. Unlike the existing bot/websocket adapter (wecom.py),
this handles WeCom's standard callback flow: WeCom POSTs encrypted XML
to an HTTP endpoint, the adapter decrypts, queues for the agent, and
immediately acknowledges. The agent's reply is delivered proactively
via the message/send API.
Key design choice: always acknowledge immediately and use proactive
send — agent sessions take 3-30 minutes, so the 5-second inline reply
window is never useful. The original PR's Future/pending-reply
machinery was removed in favour of this simpler architecture.
Features:
- AES-CBC encrypt/decrypt (BizMsgCrypt-compatible)
- Multi-app routing scoped by corp_id:user_id
- Legacy bare user_id fallback for backward compat
- Access-token management with auto-refresh
- WECOM_CALLBACK_* env var overrides
- Port-in-use pre-check before binding
- Health endpoint at /health
Salvaged from PR #7774 by @chqchshj. Simplified by removing the
inline reply Future system and fixing: secrets.choice for nonce
generation, immediate plain-text acknowledgment (not encrypted XML
containing 'success'), and initial token refresh error handling.
Adds _normalize_path() helper that calls expanduser().resolve() to
properly handle tilde paths (e.g. ~/.hermes, ~/.config). Previously
Path.resolve() alone treated ~ as a literal directory name, producing
invalid paths like /root/~/.hermes.
Also improves _run_git() error handling to distinguish missing working
directories from missing git executable, and adds pre-flight directory
validation.

Fixes#7807
* fix(tools): neutralize shell injection in _write_to_sandbox via path quoting
_write_to_sandbox interpolated storage_dir and remote_path directly into
a shell command passed to env.execute(). Paths containing shell
metacharacters (spaces, semicolons, $(), backticks) could trigger
arbitrary command execution inside the sandbox.
Fix: wrap both paths with shlex.quote(). Clean paths (alphanumeric +
slashes/hyphens/dots) are left unmodified by shlex.quote, so existing
behavior is unchanged. Paths with unsafe characters get single-quoted.
Tests added for spaces, $(command) substitution, and semicolon injection.
* fix: is_local_endpoint misses Docker/Podman DNS names
host.docker.internal, host.containers.internal, gateway.docker.internal,
and host.lima.internal are well-known DNS names that container runtimes
use to resolve the host machine. Users running Ollama on the host with
the agent in Docker/Podman hit the default 120s stream timeout instead
of the bumped 1800s because these hostnames weren't recognized as local.
Add _CONTAINER_LOCAL_SUFFIXES tuple and suffix check in
is_local_endpoint(). Tests cover all three runtime families plus a
negative case for domains that merely contain the suffix as a substring.
- add all_profiles=False to find_gateway_pids() and
kill_gateway_processes() so hermes update and gateway stop --all
can still discover processes across all profiles
- narrow bare 'except Exception' to (OSError, subprocess.TimeoutExpired)
- update test mocks to match new signatures
Adds two tests verifying that duplicate reasoning item IDs across
multi-turn Codex Responses conversations are correctly deduplicated
in both _chat_messages_to_responses_input() and
_preflight_codex_input_items().

This commit addresses a security vulnerability where unsanitized user inputs for commit_hash and file_path were passed directly to git commands in CheckpointManager.restore() and diff(). It validates commit hashes to be strictly hexadecimal characters without leading dashes (preventing flag injection like '--patch') and enforces file paths to stay within the working directory via root resolution. Regression tests test_restore_rejects_argument_injection, test_restore_rejects_invalid_hex_chars, and test_restore_rejects_path_traversal were added.
The cherry-picked fix from PR #7916 placed model propagation after
the credential pool early-return in _resolve_named_custom_runtime(),
making it dead code when a pool is active (which happens whenever
custom_providers has an api_key that auto-seeds the pool).
- Inject model into pool_result before returning
- Add 5 regression tests covering direct path, pool path, empty
model, and absent model scenarios
- Add 'model' to _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS for config validation
The startup guard tests called connect() which bound a real aiohttp
server on port 8080 — flaky in any environment where the port is
in use. Mock AppRunner, TCPSite, and ClientSession instead.
The interrupt mechanism in tools/interrupt.py used a process-global
threading.Event. In the gateway, multiple agents run concurrently in
the same process via run_in_executor. When any agent was interrupted
(user sends a follow-up message), the global flag killed ALL agents'
running tools — terminal commands, browser ops, web requests — across
all sessions.
Changes:
- tools/interrupt.py: Replace single threading.Event with a set of
interrupted thread IDs. set_interrupt() targets a specific thread;
is_interrupted() checks the current thread. Includes a backward-
compatible _ThreadAwareEventProxy for legacy _interrupt_event usage.
- run_agent.py: Store execution thread ID at start of run_conversation().
interrupt() and clear_interrupt() pass it to set_interrupt() so only
this agent's thread is affected.
- tools/code_execution_tool.py: Use is_interrupted() instead of
directly checking _interrupt_event.is_set().
- tools/process_registry.py: Same — use is_interrupted().
- tests: Update interrupt tests for per-thread semantics. Add new
TestPerThreadInterruptIsolation with two tests verifying cross-thread
isolation.
When a Python process exits uncleanly (SIGKILL, crash, gateway restart
via hermes update), in-memory _active_sessions tracking is lost but the
agent-browser node daemons and their Chromium child processes keep
running indefinitely. On a long-running system this causes unbounded
memory growth — 24 orphaned sessions consumed 7.6 GB on a production
machine over 9 days.
Add _reap_orphaned_browser_sessions() which scans the tmp directory for
agent-browser-{h_*,cdp_*} socket dirs on cleanup thread startup. For
each dir not tracked by the current process, reads the daemon PID file
and sends SIGTERM if the daemon is still alive. Handles edge cases:
dead PIDs, corrupt PID files, permission errors, foreign processes.
The reaper runs once on thread startup (not every 30s) to avoid races
with sessions being actively created by concurrent agents.
When sending multi-chunk responses, individual chunks can fail due to
transient iLink API errors. Previously a single failure would abort the
entire message. Now each chunk is retried with linear backoff before
giving up, and the same client_id is reused across retries for
server-side deduplication.
Configurable via config.yaml (platforms.weixin.extra) or env vars:
- send_chunk_delay_seconds (default 0.35s) — pacing between chunks
- send_chunk_retries (default 2) — max retry attempts per chunk
- send_chunk_retry_delay_seconds (default 1.0s) — base retry delay
Replaces the hardcoded 0.3s inter-chunk delay from #7903.

The test expected content=None to immediately trigger thinking-exhaustion,
but PR #7738 correctly gates that check on _has_think_tags. Without think
tags, the agent falls through to normal continuation retry (3 attempts).
When API routers rewrite finish_reason from "length" to "tool_calls",
truncated JSON arguments bypassed the length handler and wasted 3
retry attempts in the generic JSON validation loop. Now detects
truncation patterns in tool call arguments regardless of finish_reason.

Background process watchers (notify_on_complete, check_interval) created
synthetic SessionSource objects without user_id/user_name. While the
internal=True bypass (1d8d4f28) prevented false pairing for agent-
generated notifications, the missing identity caused:
- Garbage entries in pairing rate limiters (discord:None, telegram:None)
- 'User None' in approval messages and logs
- No user identity available for future code paths that need it
Additionally, platform messages arriving without from_user (Telegram
service messages, channel forwards, anonymous admin actions) could still
trigger false pairing because they are not internal events.
Fix:
1. Propagate user_id/user_name through the full watcher chain:
session_context.py → gateway/run.py → terminal_tool.py →
process_registry.py (including checkpoint persistence/recovery)
2. Add None user_id guard in _handle_message() — silently drop
non-internal messages with no user identity instead of triggering
the pairing flow.

Two-phase design so the warning fires before the user's first message
on every platform:
Phase 1 (__init__):
_check_compression_model_feasibility() runs during agent construction.
Resolves the auxiliary compression model (same chain as call_llm with
task='compression'), compares its context length to the main model's
compression threshold. If too small, emits via _emit_status() (prints
for CLI) and stores the warning in _compression_warning.
Phase 2 (run_conversation, first call):
_replay_compression_warning() re-sends the stored warning through
status_callback — which the gateway wires AFTER construction. The
warning is then cleared so it only fires once.
This ensures:
- CLI users see the warning immediately at startup (right after the
context limit line)
- Gateway users (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
Mattermost, Home Assistant, DingTalk, etc.) receive it via
status_callback('lifecycle', ...) on their first message
- logger.warning() always hits agent.log regardless of platform
Also warns when no auxiliary LLM provider is configured at all.
Entire check wrapped in try/except — never blocks startup.
11 tests covering: core warning logic, boundary conditions, exception
safety, two-phase store+replay, gateway callback wiring, and
single-delivery guarantee.
The Weixin adapter was splitting responses at every top-level newline,
causing notification spam (up to 70 API calls for a single long markdown
response). This salvages the best aspects of six contributor PRs:
Compact mode (new default):
- Messages under the 4000-char limit stay as a single bubble even with
multiple lines, paragraphs, and code blocks
- Only oversized messages get split at logical markdown boundaries
- Inter-chunk delay (0.3s) between chunks prevents WeChat rate-limit drops
Legacy mode (opt-in):
- Set split_multiline_messages: true in platforms.weixin.extra config
- Or set WEIXIN_SPLIT_MULTILINE_MESSAGES=true env var
- Restores the old per-line splitting behavior

Core fix unanimous across all six; config toggle from #7838; inter-chunk
delay from #7825.
Independent halving of width and height caused aspect ratio distortion
for extreme dimensions (e.g. 8000x200 panoramas). When one axis hit the
64px floor, the other kept shrinking — collapsing the ratio toward 1:1.
Use proportional scaling instead: when either dimension hits the floor,
derive the effective scale factor and apply it to both axes.
Add tests for extreme panorama (8000x200) and tall narrow (200x6000)
images to verify aspect ratio preservation.
hermes claw migrate now always shows a full dry-run preview before
making any changes. The user reviews what would be imported, then
confirms to proceed. --dry-run stops after the preview. --yes skips
the confirmation prompt.
This matches the existing setup wizard flow (_offer_openclaw_migration)
which already did preview-then-confirm.

Adds Xiaomi MiMo as a direct provider (XIAOMI_API_KEY) with models:
- mimo-v2-pro (1M context), mimo-v2-omni (256K, multimodal), mimo-v2-flash (256K, cheapest)
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py, models.py,
main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py, model_metadata.py,
models_dev.py, auxiliary_client.py, .env.example, cli-config.yaml.example.
Follow-up: vision tasks use mimo-v2-omni (multimodal) instead of the user's
main model. Non-vision aux uses the user's selected model. Added
_PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS dict for provider-specific vision model overrides.
On failure, falls back to aggregators (gemini flash) via existing fallback chain.
Corrects pre-existing context lengths: mimo-v2-pro 1048576→1000000,
mimo-v2-omni 1048576→256000, adds mimo-v2-flash 256000.

* fix(matrix): pass required args to MemoryCryptoStore for mautrix ≥0.21
MemoryCryptoStore.__init__() now requires account_id and pickle_key
positional arguments as of mautrix 0.21. The migration from matrix-nio
(commit 1850747) didn't account for this, causing E2EE initialization
to fail with:
MemoryCryptoStore.__init__() missing 2 required positional arguments:
'account_id' and 'pickle_key'
Pass self._user_id as account_id and derive pickle_key from the same
user_id:device_id pair already used for the on-disk HMAC signature.
Update the test stub to accept the new parameters.
Fixes#7803
* fix: use consistent fallback for pickle_key derivation
Address review: _pickle_key now uses _acct_id (which has the 'hermes'
fallback) instead of raw self._user_id, so both values stay consistent
when user_id is empty.
