Port from qwibitai/nanoclaw#1962: modern Signal V2-only groups surface on
dataMessage.groupV2.id, not groupInfo.groupId. signal-cli versions differ
in which field they expose for V2 groups — some forward the underlying
libsignal envelope verbatim (groupV2), others normalize everything into
groupInfo. Without a groupV2 read, V2-only groups appear as DMs because
groupInfo is undefined and the adapter misroutes them to the sender's
DM session.
Reads groupV2.id first, falls back to groupInfo.groupId. Also hardens
chat_name extraction against non-dict groupInfo payloads (crashed with
AttributeError under malformed envelopes).
6 new tests cover V2 routing, V1 legacy compatibility, V2-preferred
precedence, no-group DM path, allowlist enforcement, and malformed
payloads.
Switches `_replay_session_history` from `loop.call_soon`-deferred (after the
`LoadSessionResponse` is written) to `await`-inline (before the response is
constructed) for both `session/load` and `session/resume`. Adds defensive
try/except around the awaited call so a replay helper crash still yields a
successful load response — partial transcripts are acceptable, total
load failure is not.
The deferral was added on May 2 in commit 19854c7cd with the rationale "Zed
only attaches streamed transcript/tool updates once the load/resume response
has completed." That justification was incorrect:
- Zed's current ACP integration (zed-industries/zed
crates/agent_servers/src/acp.rs) explicitly registers the session-update
routing entry BEFORE awaiting the loadSession RPC, with the comment:
"so that any session/update notifications that arrive during the call
(e.g. history replay during session/load) can find the thread."
- Every other reference ACP server (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, agentao)
replays history BEFORE responding to the load request.
- The ACP spec wording ("Stream the entire conversation history back to the
client via notifications") and the natural JSON-RPC reading both mean
"during the request's lifetime", not "after the response resolves".
Empirical reproduction (reported by Biraj on @agentclientprotocol/sdk
v0.21.1): the same custom ACP client works correctly against Codex /
Claude Code / OpenCode / Pi but receives 0 notifications from Hermes
because it measures the per-call notification count at the moment
`loadSession` resolves — which on Hermes was before the `call_soon`-
scheduled replay coroutine had a chance to run.
Changes:
- `acp_adapter/server.py`: remove `_schedule_history_replay`; both
`load_session` and `resume_session` now `await self._replay_session_history`
before returning, wrapped in try/except that logs and continues on
helper exceptions.
- `tests/acp/test_server.py`: replace the single
`test_load_session_schedules_history_replay_after_response`
(which encoded the now-incorrect post-response ordering) with two tests
asserting `events == ["replay", "returned"]` for load and resume.
Add two regression tests confirming that a replay helper raising still
yields a `LoadSessionResponse` / `ResumeSessionResponse` rather than
propagating the exception out as a JSON-RPC error.
Result: 240 ACP tests pass (was 238), ruff clean. Verified end-to-end:
biraj's synchronous notification-counter pattern now sees 6 notifications
during `loadSession` for a 5-message session, matching all other reference
ACP servers.
The `_fenced_text` change in `acp_adapter/tools.py` from the same May 2
commit is orthogonal and intentionally left intact — it's a separate,
still-valid fix for Zed's pipe-as-table rendering.
Refs #12285. Follows up #26943 (which added thought-chunk replay but kept
the deferral).
Persisted assistant `reasoning_content` / `reasoning` fields are now emitted
as ACP `agent_thought_chunk` notifications during `_replay_session_history`,
so editor clients (Zed, etc.) rebuild collapsed Thinking panes when the user
re-opens a session that used a thinking model.
Ordering matches live streaming: thought precedes message text within the
same assistant turn, mirroring how `reasoning_callback` deltas arrive before
`stream_delta_callback` deltas in `events.py::make_thinking_cb` /
`make_message_cb`.
Behavior on non-reasoning histories is unchanged; the replay loop's existing
text / tool_call / tool_call_update / plan emission is preserved bit-for-bit.
Closes#12285.

Two unit tests for run_hermes_oauth_login_pure():
1. test_authorization_url_state_is_not_pkce_verifier — asserts state in the
auth URL is independent from the PKCE code_verifier sent in the token
exchange, and that the verifier never appears in the URL.
2. test_callback_state_mismatch_aborts — asserts the flow returns None
(no token exchange) when the callback state does not match the value
we generated.
Negative control verified: reintroducing the b17e5c10 vulnerable pattern
(state = verifier, no callback validation) makes both tests fail.
Also adds AUTHOR_MAP entry for shaun0927 (contributor of the fix).
When the agent is running and the user sends multiple TEXT messages in
rapid succession, base.py's active-session branch stored the pending
event as a single-slot replacement:
self._pending_messages[session_key] = event
Three rapid messages A, B, C landed as: A (interrupts), B (replaces A
before consumer reads), C (replaces B). Only C reached the next turn —
A and B were silently dropped. This is the symptom in #4469.
Route the follow-up through merge_pending_message_event(..., merge_text=True)
so TEXT events accumulate into the existing pending event's text instead
of clobbering it. Photo and media bursts already merged through the same
helper; this just extends the merge_text path (already used by the
Telegram bursty-grace branch in gateway/run.py) to all platforms.
Test exercises BasePlatformAdapter.handle_message directly with the
session marked active and asserts three rapid TEXT events merge to
'part two\\npart three' rather than dropping the middle message.
Sanity-checked the test would fail without the fix.
Credits @devorun for the original investigation and analysis in #4491
that surfaced the underlying queue handling, though their fix targeted
GatewayRunner._pending_messages which is now dead state on main.
Follow-up improvements on top of @konsisumer's cherry-picked fix for #10648:
1. Deprecation patterns required BOTH a product fingerprint ('gh-copilot') and
a deprecation marker. The previous list included 'copilot-cli' and bare
'deprecation', which would false-positive on stderr from the NEW
@github/copilot CLI — whose repo is literally github.com/github/copilot-cli
and which legitimately surfaces those substrings in its own messages.
2. Replace the deprecation hint. The user in #10648 installed
'gh extension install github/gh-copilot' (the deprecated extension)
thinking that's what ACP mode uses, when ACP actually spawns the new
'copilot' binary from '@github/copilot'. The hint now points users at the
correct install command ('npm install -g @github/copilot') with the new
CLI's repo URL, and demotes provider-switching to a fallback alternative.
3. Change _URL_TO_PROVIDER value for models.inference.ai.azure.com from the
'github-models' alias to the canonical 'copilot' provider id, matching the
convention used by every other entry in the table.
4. Sharpen the 413 hint message. The free tier's ~8K cap is below the
system-prompt floor, so this endpoint is fundamentally incompatible with
an agentic loop — not a 'use a different URL' problem.
Tests:
- New parametrized false-positive coverage for the new CLI's stderr shape.
- Updated assertion to require canonical 'copilot' provider mapping.
- All 14 deprecation/URL tests pass.
Cover the deprecation pattern matching against real gh-copilot stderr
output, verify the GitHub Models Azure URL is in _URL_TO_PROVIDER, and
confirm _is_github_models_base_url recognises the Azure endpoint.
Fixes#26693
`hermes doctor` currently promotes invalid direct API keys into the final
summary even when the matching OAuth path is already healthy. That makes
the setup look more broken than it really is.
This change keeps the failed API Connectivity row visible but stops
treating it as a blocking summary issue when a healthy OAuth fallback
already exists for the same provider family.
Covered cases:
- Gemini OAuth + invalid direct Gemini key
- MiniMax OAuth + invalid direct MiniMax key
Based on #26704 by @worlldz.
Port three hardening patches from Claude Code 2.1.113's expanded deny
rules to hermes' detect_dangerous_command() pattern list.
1. macOS /private/{etc,var,tmp,home} system paths
/etc, /var, /tmp, /home are symlinks to /private/<name> on macOS.
A write to /private/etc/sudoers works identically to /etc/sudoers
but bypassed the plain /etc/ pattern check. Extracted a shared
_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH fragment so /etc/ and the /private/ mirror
stay in sync across redirect / tee / cp / mv / install / sed -i
patterns.
2. killall -9 / -KILL / -SIGKILL / -s KILL / -r <regex>
Parallel to the existing pkill -9 pattern. killall -9 against
non-hermes processes was previously unprotected, and killall -r
can sweep unrelated processes matching a regex.
3. find -execdir rm
Same destructive effect as find -exec rm but ran in each match's
directory. The previous pattern required a literal '-exec ' so
-execdir slipped through.
Guarded by 32 new test cases in 4 test classes:
- TestMacOSPrivateSystemPaths (11 cases)
- TestKillallKillSignals (9 cases)
- TestFindExecdir (4 cases)
- TestEtcPatternsUnaffectedByRefactor (6 regression guards on
the existing /etc/ coverage after the _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH refactor)
Inspiration: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases
(Claude Code 2.1.113, April 17 2026 - "Enhanced deny rules" and
"Dangerous path protection")
Port from openai/codex#17667: MCP servers can now opt-in to parallel
tool execution by setting supports_parallel_tool_calls: true in their
config. This allows tools from the same server to run concurrently
within a single tool-call batch, matching the behavior already available
for built-in tools like web_search and read_file.
Previously all MCP tools were forced sequential because they weren't in
the _PARALLEL_SAFE_TOOLS set. Now _should_parallelize_tool_batch checks
is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() which looks up the server's config flag.
Config example:
mcp_servers:
docs:
command: "docs-server"
supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Track parallel-safe servers in _parallel_safe_servers
set, populated during register_mcp_servers(). Add is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe()
public API.
- run_agent.py: Add _is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() lazy-import wrapper. Update
_should_parallelize_tool_batch() to check MCP tools against server config.
- 11 new tests covering the feature end-to-end.
- Updated MCP docs and config reference.
Subagent delegation hardcoded api_mode='chat_completions' for any
delegation.base_url that didn't match three specific hostnames
(chatgpt.com, api.anthropic.com, api.kimi.com/coding), and never
read delegation.api_mode from config. Azure AI Foundry's
https://foundry.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic endpoint fell through
and got chat_completions, causing 404s on every delegate_task call.
The main agent already handles this correctly via the shared
_detect_api_mode_for_url() helper (anything ending in /anthropic →
anthropic_messages); delegation reimplemented its own narrower check.
Reuse the shared detector and honor an explicit delegation.api_mode
when set so users can also force the transport on non-standard
endpoints the URL heuristic can't classify.
Fixes#10213.

* feat(x_search): gated X (Twitter) search tool with OAuth-or-API-key auth
Salvages tools/x_search_tool.py from the closed PR #10786 (originally by
@Jaaneek) and reworks its credential resolution so the tool registers
when EITHER xAI credential path is available:
* XAI_API_KEY (paid xAI API key) is set in ~/.hermes/.env or the env, OR
* The user is signed in via xAI Grok OAuth — SuperGrok subscription —
i.e. hermes auth add xai-oauth has been run
Both paths route through xAI's built-in x_search Responses tool at
https://api.x.ai/v1/responses. When both credentials exist OAuth wins,
matching tools/xai_http.py's existing preference order (uses SuperGrok
quota instead of paid API spend).
The check_fn calls resolve_xai_http_credentials() which auto-refreshes
the OAuth access token if it's within the refresh skew window, so a
True return means the bearer is fetchable AND non-empty.
Wiring
- tools/x_search_tool.py — new tool, ~370 LOC. Schema gated by check_fn,
bearer resolved per-call so revoked OAuth surfaces a clean tool_error
rather than an HTTP 401.
- toolsets.py — "x_search" toolset def. NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS;
users opt in via hermes tools.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry + TOOL_CATEGORIES
block with two provider options (OAuth + API key) sharing the existing
xai_grok post_setup hook for credential bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG["x_search"] with model /
timeout_seconds / retries. Additive nested key; no version bump.
- tests/tools/test_x_search_tool.py — 13 tests covering HTTP shape,
handle validation, citation extraction, 4xx/5xx/timeout handling,
and the full credential-resolution matrix (OAuth-only, API-key-only,
both-set, neither-set, resolver-raises, config overrides, registry
registration).
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md — adds X Search to the
direct-to-xAI tools section with off-by-default note.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tools.md — new row in the tools table.
Off by default — users enable via `hermes tools` → 🐦 X (Twitter) Search.
Schema only appears to the model when xAI credentials are configured.

- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md — new "x_search" toolset
section with parameter docs and credential gating note.

Adds _sanitize_tool_error() in model_tools and routes both error paths
through it: registry.dispatch's try/except (the primary path for tool
exceptions) and handle_function_call's outer except (defense in depth).
Stripping targets structural framing tokens that the model itself can
react to even though json.dumps already handles wire-layer escaping:
XML role tags (tool_call, function_call, result, response, output,
input, system, assistant, user), CDATA sections, and markdown code
fences. Caps message body at 2000 chars and wraps with [TOOL_ERROR]
prefix.
Defense-in-depth: a tool exception carrying '<tool_call>...' won't
break message framing (json escapes it), but the model still reads
those tokens and they nudge it toward role-confusion framing.
Ported from ironclaw#1639 (one piece of #3838's three-feature scout).
The truncated-tool-call (#1632) and empty-response-recovery (#1677,
#1720) pieces are skipped because main now implements both far more
thoroughly (run_agent.py L8147/L12209/L13012 for truncation retry +
length rewrite; L4500/L15090+ for empty-response scaffolding stripper,
multi-stage nudge, fallback model activation).
Plugins can now replace a built-in tool by passing override=True to
ctx.register_tool(). Without it, the registry rejects any registration
that would shadow an existing tool from a different toolset (unchanged
default behavior).
Unlocks the use case from #11049: drop-in replacement of browser/web
backends without forking core. Composes with the existing pre_tool_call
hook for runtime interception of any implementation.
The override is audit-logged at INFO so it surfaces in agent.log.
Thin wrapper around Imbue's darwinian_evolver (AGPL-3.0, subprocess-only).
Ships a working OpenRouter driver (parrot_openrouter.py), a snapshot
inspector (show_snapshot.py), and a custom-problem template. SKILL.md
has 58-char description, Pitfalls sourced from actually running the loop:
non-viable seed trap, Azure content filter killing runs, loop.run() being
a generator, nested-pickle snapshots, and aggressive default concurrency.
Salvaged from #12719 by @Bihruze — original PR shipped 12,289 LOC across
61 files (29 Python modules, FastAPI dashboard, VS Code extension,
benchmark hub, marketplace, etc.) which was far beyond the scope of the
underlying issue (#336). This version stays at the ~700-LOC scope that
issue actually asked for. Authorship of the original effort credited via
AUTHOR_MAP entry and the SKILL.md author field.
Verified end-to-end: seed 'Say {{ phrase }}' (score 0.000) evolved into
'Please repeat the following phrase exactly as it is, without any
modifications or additional formatting: {{ phrase }}' (score 0.750)
across 3 iterations on gpt-4o-mini via OpenRouter.

Tirith ships no Windows binary, so on every Windows CLI startup users
saw a scary 'tirith security scanner enabled but not available' banner
they could not act on. The banner suggested degraded security; in
reality pattern-matching guards still run and the message was pure noise.
Fix:
- New public is_platform_supported() helper in tools/tirith_security.py
that returns False when _detect_target() doesn't resolve (Windows, any
non-x86_64/aarch64 arch).
- ensure_installed(), _resolve_tirith_path(), and check_command_security()
short-circuit on unsupported platforms: cache _resolved_path =
_INSTALL_FAILED with reason 'unsupported_platform', skip PATH probes,
skip the background download thread, skip the disk failure marker, and
return allow with an empty summary from check_command_security so the
spawn loop never fires.
- Explicit user-configured tirith_path is still honored everywhere (a
user who built tirith themselves under WSL keeps that path).
- CLI banner in cli.py gated on is_platform_supported() — fires only on
platforms where tirith *should* work but isn't installed.
- Docs note tirith's supported-platform list and point Windows users at
WSL.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py +8 tests covering Linux
x86_64, Darwin arm64, Windows, and unknown-arch verdicts plus the
silent ensure_installed / check_command_security / _resolve_tirith_path
fast-paths and the explicit-path override.
test_tirith_security.py 75 passed (8 new + 67 pre-existing)
test_command_guards.py 19 passed
The #1 confusing cause of the xAI 403 (per Teknium): X Premium+
subscribers see Grok inside the X app and assume API access is
included. It is NOT — only standalone SuperGrok subscribers can use
xai-oauth with Hermes today. Without calling this out, every Premium+
user hits the 403 with no idea why.
PR #26666's neutral 4-cause list was correct but buried the most
common cause. Lead with the Premium+ gotcha, then list the other
possibilities (no subscription, wrong tier, exhausted quota) as
fallbacks. Same neutral framing — does not accuse anyone of being
unsubscribed.
PR #26644 confidently told users "xAI OAuth account lacks SuperGrok /
X Premium entitlement" on any 403 from xAI's permission-denied surface.
But that body is returned for at least four distinct causes that
Hermes cannot distinguish from the wire:
* Account has no Grok subscription at all
* Account has SuperGrok but the tier doesn't include the requested
model (e.g. grok-4.3 needs SuperGrok Heavy)
* Monthly quota for the subscribed tier is exhausted
* SuperGrok is active but the API access add-on isn't enabled
Don Piedro pushed back that he IS subscribed yet still hit this.
Picking the worst-case interpretation ("you're not subscribed")
reads as wrong and insulting to subscribers, and points them at a
fix they already did.
New wording lists all 4 possibilities and points at
https://grok.com/?_s=usage where the user can check which applies.
The detection logic and credential-pool short-circuit (PR #26664)
are unchanged — only the user-facing wording is rephrased.
Don Piedro's 18-minute hang on grok-4.3 traced to two issues PR #26644
didn't cover:
- _recover_with_credential_pool classifies 403 as FailoverReason.auth
and calls pool.try_refresh_current(). For xAI OAuth on an
unsubscribed account, refresh succeeds (mints a new token from the
same account) but the next API call 403s with the same entitlement
error. Result: infinite refresh → retry → 403 loop until Ctrl+C
(1133s in Don's log). New _is_entitlement_failure(error_context,
status_code) detects the subscription-shape body ("do not have an
active Grok subscription" / "out of available resources" + grok /
"does not have permission" + grok) and short-circuits recovery so
_summarize_api_error surfaces PR #26644's friendly hint.
- grok-4.3 resolved to 256k via the grok-4 catch-all in
DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS. Per docs.x.ai/developers/models/grok-4.3
the model ships with 1M context. Add explicit grok-4.3 entry
before the grok-4 fallback (longest-first substring matching
ensures grok-4.3 and grok-4.3-latest both land on the new value).
Tests: 8 new (23 total in test_codex_xai_oauth_recovery.py).
E2E verified Don's 100-iteration loop bails out with 0 refresh calls
while genuine auth failures still refresh once and recover.
The cherry-picked PR #15251 from @tw2818 correctly identified the
DeepSeek 400 root cause but placed the fix in the legacy fallback path
of `build_kwargs`, which DeepSeek never reaches — DeepSeek has a
registered ProviderProfile and goes through `_build_kwargs_from_profile`
instead. The legacy-path block was therefore dead code.
This commit pivots the fix to where it actually fires:
- New `DeepSeekProfile` in `plugins/model-providers/deepseek/__init__.py`
overrides `build_api_kwargs_extras` to emit DeepSeek's expected wire
format (mirrors `KimiProfile`):
{"reasoning_effort": "<low|medium|high|max>",
"extra_body": {"thinking": {"type": "enabled" | "disabled"}}}
- Model gating: only `deepseek-v4-*` and `deepseek-reasoner` emit
thinking control. `deepseek-chat` (V3) is untouched — current behavior.
- Effort mapping: low/medium/high passthrough, xhigh/max → max, unset →
omitted (DeepSeek server applies its own default).
- Revert the legacy-path additions from PR #15251 — they were dead code,
and the `_copy_reasoning_content_for_api` strip block specifically
would have nullified the existing reasoning_content padding machinery
(`_needs_deepseek_tool_reasoning` → space-pad on replay) that the
active provider already relies on for replay correctness.
- Unit tests pin the wire-shape contract and the model gating rules
(26 tests, all passing). Existing transport + provider profile suites
(321 tests) continue to pass.
- AUTHOR_MAP: map twebefy@gmail.com → tw2818 for release notes credit.

Three fixes for the May 2026 xAI OAuth (SuperGrok / X Premium) rollout
failures:
- _run_codex_stream: when openai SDK raises RuntimeError("Expected to
have received `response.created` before `<type>`"), retry once then
fall back to responses.create(stream=True) — same path used for
missing-response.completed postlude. Fallback surfaces the real
provider error with body+status_code intact. Also fixes#8133
(response.in_progress prelude on custom relays) and #14634
(codex.rate_limits prelude on codex-lb).
- _summarize_api_error: when error body matches xAI's entitlement
shape, append a one-line hint pointing to https://grok.com and
/model. Once-only, applies to both auxiliary warnings and
main-loop error surfacing.
- _chat_messages_to_responses_input: new is_xai_responses kwarg
drops replayed codex_reasoning_items (encrypted_content) before
they reach xAI. Also drops reasoning.encrypted_content from the
xAI include array. Native Codex behavior unchanged. Grok still
reasons natively each turn; coherence rides on visible message
text alone.
Closes#8133, #14634.
Two log-spam fixes surfaced by a Windows user (Git Bash + Python 3.11.9):
1. LocalEnvironment cwd warn spam
============================
Git Bash's `pwd -P` emits paths like `/c/Users/x`. The base-class
`_extract_cwd_from_output` was assigning this verbatim to `self.cwd`
without validation, then `_resolve_safe_cwd`'s `os.path.isdir(/c/...)`
returned False on Windows, triggering:
LocalEnvironment cwd '/c/Users/NVIDIA' is missing on disk;
falling back to '/' so terminal commands keep working.
...on every terminal call. The pre-existing Windows-path translation
inside `_run_bash` ran AFTER the safe-cwd check, so it could never
prevent the warning.
Fix:
- New `_msys_to_windows_path` helper (idempotent, no-op off Windows).
- `_resolve_safe_cwd` normalizes before `isdir`, so a valid MSYS path
is recognized as the real directory it points at.
- `LocalEnvironment._update_cwd` and a new override of
`_extract_cwd_from_output` translate + validate before mutating
`self.cwd`. Stale / non-existent marker paths roll back to the
previous cwd instead of clobbering it.
- The fallback warning still fires when the directory really is gone
(deletion-recovery scenario from #17558 still covered).
2. tirith spawn-failed warn spam
=============================
When tirith isn't installed (background install in flight, or marked
failed for the day) and the configured path stays as the bare string
`tirith`, every `subprocess.run([tirith_path, ...])` raises OSError
and logged:
tirith spawn failed: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
...on every command. fail_open=True means behaviour is correct, but
the log noise is severe.
Fix:
- `_warn_once(key, ...)` thread-safe dedupe helper.
- Three hot-path warnings (`tirith path resolved to None`,
`tirith spawn failed: ...`, `tirith timed out after Ns`) now log
once per (exception class, errno) / timeout-value / path-none key.
- Dedupe set is cleared on `_clear_install_failed` so a successful
install lets a subsequent failure surface again.
Tests
=====
- `tests/tools/test_local_env_windows_msys.py`: 12 tests covering the
MSYS→Windows translator, the resolve fast-path, update_cwd validation,
and extract_cwd_from_output rollback.
- `tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py`: 4 new dedupe tests (15 spawn
failures → 1 log line; distinct exc types → 2 lines; timeout dedupe;
path-None dedupe).
Targeted runs:
test_local_env_windows_msys.py 12 passed
test_local_env_cwd_recovery.py 7 passed (pre-existing, no regressions)
test_tirith_security.py 67 passed (63 pre-existing + 4 new)
test_base_environment + local_* 37 passed (no regressions)
test_local_env_blocklist + neighbours 114 passed
Reported via Hermes log capture: 19× cwd warnings + 15× tirith warnings
in a single short session.
- dep_ensure.py: use get_hermes_home() instead of hand-rolled env var
- dep_ensure.py: add "chrome" to browser name list (was inconsistent with browser_tool.py)
- main.py _cmd_update_check: use detect_install_method() directly instead of redundant .git check
- main.py _cmd_update_pip: build command list directly instead of fragile split() on display string
- banner.py: rename _check_via_pypi → check_via_pypi (cross-module public API)
One-shot bootstrap that installs non-Python deps (node, browser,
ripgrep, ffmpeg) via ensure_dependency(), then runs setup if no
provider is configured. Closes the gap between `pip install` and
the full user-facing experience.
Also fixes 3 pre-existing test regressions caused by earlier commits:
- test_recommended_update_command: mock detect_install_method for git env
- test_check_for_updates_no_git_dir: now falls back to PyPI, not None
- test_plist_path_includes_node_modules_bin: skip when dir absent
Adds detect_install_method() to identify nixos/homebrew/git/pip installs,
and recommended_update_command_for_method() to return the right upgrade command
for each method. Updates recommended_update_command() to use these for pip-installed
instances (no .git dir, not managed).
Add _find_bundled_tui() that checks for hermes_cli/tui_dist/entry.js
(present in wheel installs) and wire it into _make_tui_argv() between
the HERMES_TUI_DIR prebuilt path and the npm install fallback.
Extract PATH building into _build_service_path_dirs() that skips directories
which don't exist on disk (e.g. node_modules/.bin for pip installs) and also
includes ~/.hermes/node/bin and ~/.hermes/node_modules/.bin for agent-browser.
For pip-installed hermes-agent (no .git directory), fall back to
querying PyPI's JSON API to compare __version__ against the latest
published release, using stdlib only (urllib + json, no packaging dep).
Stop the gateway from exiting (or systemd-restart-looping) when a single
messaging adapter fails at startup or runtime. A misconfigured WhatsApp
(npm install timeout, unpaired bridge, missing creds.json) used to take
the entire gateway down, killing cron jobs and any other connected
platforms with it.
Changes:
• Startup (gateway/run.py): when connected_count==0 but the only
errors are retryable, log a degraded-state warning and keep the
gateway alive instead of returning False. Reconnect watcher then
recovers platforms as their underlying problem clears.
• Runtime (gateway/run.py _handle_adapter_fatal_error): when the last
adapter goes down with a retryable error and is queued for
reconnection, stay alive instead of exit-with-failure. Previously
this triggered systemd Restart=on-failure, which created infinite
restart loops on persistent retryable failures (proxy outage,
repeated bridge crashes).
• Reconnect watcher (gateway/run.py _platform_reconnect_watcher):
replace the 20-attempt hard drop with a circuit-breaker pause.
After _PAUSE_AFTER_FAILURES (10) consecutive retryable failures, the
platform stays in _failed_platforms with paused=True so the watcher
skips it but the operator can still see and resume it. Non-retryable
errors still drop out of the queue immediately. Resolves#17063
(gateway giving up on Telegram after 20 attempts).
• WhatsApp preflight (gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py): refuse to start
the Node bridge when creds.json is missing. Sets a non-retryable
whatsapp_not_paired fatal error so the watcher drops it cleanly
with a single 'run hermes whatsapp' log line instead of paying the
30s bridge bootstrap timeout on every gateway start.
• WhatsApp setup ordering (hermes_cli/main.py cmd_whatsapp): only set
WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true once pairing actually succeeds. Previously
the wizard wrote the env var at step 2 (before npm install and QR
pairing), so any Ctrl+C left .env claiming WhatsApp was ready when
the bridge had no creds.json. Also propagate the env var when the
user keeps an existing pairing on a re-run.
• /platform slash command (hermes_cli/commands.py + gateway/run.py):
new gateway-only command for manual circuit-breaker control.
/platform list — show connected + failed/paused platforms
/platform pause <name> — silence a known-broken platform
/platform resume <name> — re-queue a paused platform
Tests:
• New: pause/resume helpers, /platform list|pause|resume command,
WhatsApp creds.json preflight, WhatsApp setup ordering.
• Updated: stale assertions that codified the old 'exit and let
systemd restart' behavior in test_runner_fatal_adapter.py,
test_runner_startup_failures.py, and test_platform_reconnect.py
(the 20-attempt give-up test became a circuit-breaker pause test).
5488 tests pass in tests/gateway/.
Two loopback-redirect OAuth flows (xAI Grok, Spotify) silently fail when
Hermes runs on a remote host: the auth server redirects to
127.0.0.1:<port> on the user's laptop, not on the remote box. The
--no-browser flag only suppresses webbrowser.open() — it doesn't change
the bind address. Symptom xAI surfaces is 'Could not establish
connection. We couldn't reach your app.', followed by a 'xAI
authorization timed out waiting for the local callback' on the CLI side.
Changes
- hermes_cli/auth.py: new _print_loopback_ssh_hint() helper, called from
_xai_oauth_loopback_login() and _spotify_login() right after they
print the redirect URI. Silent off SSH; on SSH prints the exact
'ssh -N -L <port>:127.0.0.1:<port>' command using the actually-bound
port (not the hardcoded constant — the listener auto-bumps when the
preferred port is busy), a provider-specific docs URL, and a link to
the new shared guide.
- website/docs/guides/oauth-over-ssh.md (new): single source of truth
for the tunnel pattern — TL;DR command, jump-box / ProxyJump variant,
mosh+tmux+ControlMaster gotchas, troubleshooting.
- website/docs/guides/xai-grok-oauth.md: fix the two sections that
claimed --no-browser alone was enough; link to the shared guide.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/spotify.md: expand the existing
one-liner; link to the shared guide.
- website/sidebars.ts: register the new page.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_loopback_ssh_hint.py: 7 unit tests
covering SSH-vs-not, loopback-vs-not, malformed URIs, port echo,
with and without provider docs URL.
Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

Build on @aydnOktay's cronjob fix by routing the cronjob check through
the shared 'env_var_enabled' helper in utils.py (same truthy set:
1/true/yes/on) and applying the same semantics to the 8 sibling call
sites that read HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK / HERMES_CRON_SESSION with bare os.getenv() truthy
checks:
- tools/approval.py: _is_gateway_approval_context (2), check_command_safety (2),
check_all_command_guards (3) -- 7 sites total
- tools/terminal_tool.py: _handle_sudo_failure, sudo password prompt -- 2 sites
- tools/skills_tool.py: _is_gateway_surface -- 1 site
Without this, a user who exports HERMES_INTERACTIVE=0 in their shell
still gets interactive sudo prompts, approval prompts, and gateway
skill-install paths -- only the cronjob tool was hardened. Now all
consumers agree on the same false-like values.
Also drops the duplicate _is_truthy_env helper from cronjob_tools.py
in favour of the existing canonical utils.env_var_enabled.
Tests: extend the parametrized regression coverage to all three
session env vars (HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) symmetrically. tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py:
60/60 pass; tests/tools/{approval,terminal_tool,skills_tool,
cron_approval_mode,hardline_blocklist}.py: 378/378 pass.
Per @mark-xai's review on PR #26457 and the xAI model retirement on
2026-05-15: grok-code-fast-1 is being retired today and aliases redirect
to grok-4.3 (already pinned to the top of the xAI model list by this
PR). Update the two xAI Responses-API test fixtures Mark flagged plus
the picker fallback default in hermes_cli/main.py that uses the same
literal.
The xAI prompt_cache_key block carried two long comment paragraphs
that either restated setdefault semantics, narrated the SDK
type-validation mechanism, or recapped the historical motivation for
the extra_body indirection — all already covered by the test
docstring at test_xai_responses_sends_cache_key_via_extra_body
(which links to the xAI docs). Also restored the truncated link in
the body-injection comment.
No behavior change.
The new resolve_xai_http_credentials() resolver was using os.getenv()
for the XAI_API_KEY/XAI_BASE_URL fallback path, which dropped the
~/.hermes/.env contract guarded by PR #17140 / #17163. Users with
XAI_API_KEY in dotenv only would see "No xAI credentials found" even
though the key was configured.
Separately, _transcribe_xai started consulting creds["base_url"] (which
always returns at least the default https://api.x.ai/v1) ahead of the
public XAI_STT_BASE_URL env override, so the per-tool override stopped
working.
- tools/xai_http.py: add module-level get_env_value() wrapper that
reads ~/.hermes/.env first (via hermes_cli.config.get_env_value),
then os.environ. Resolver uses it for the API-key/base-url fallback.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: restore precedence so XAI_STT_BASE_URL
wins over creds["base_url"].
- tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py +
tests/tools/test_tts_dotenv_fallback.py: repoint the per-call-site
patches at the new resolution point (tools.xai_http.get_env_value).
The end-to-end regression-guard test (which patches load_env) is
unchanged and still passes.
Two bugs in the `hermes tools` reconfigure flow caused picking xAI Grok
Imagine for video_gen (or image_gen) to feel like a no-op:
1. `_is_provider_active()` had a branch for `image_gen_plugin_name` but
none for `video_gen_plugin_name`, so a row marked as the active xAI
video provider was never recognized as active. The picker fell through
to the env-var fallback in `_detect_active_provider_index()`, which
matched the FAL row (because `FAL_KEY` is set), so the picker visually
defaulted to FAL even though the user had selected xAI.
2. `_plugin_video_gen_providers()` and `_plugin_image_gen_providers()`
built picker rows from the plugin's `get_setup_schema()` but only
copied `name`, `badge`, `tag`, `env_vars`. The xAI plugins declare
`post_setup: "xai_grok"` so the picker should run the OAuth /
API-key prompt hook after selection — that key was silently dropped,
so the hook never fired from the picker rows.
Adds the missing `video_gen_plugin_name` branch (placed before the
`managed_nous_feature` block, mirroring the existing image_gen branch)
and propagates `post_setup` from the plugin schema into both picker-row
builders. Adds focused tests in `test_video_gen_picker.py` and
`test_image_gen_picker.py`.
Adds a new authentication provider that lets SuperGrok subscribers sign
in to Hermes with their xAI account via the standard OAuth 2.0 PKCE
loopback flow, instead of pasting a raw API key from console.x.ai.
Highlights
----------
* OAuth 2.0 PKCE loopback login against accounts.x.ai with discovery,
state/nonce, and a strict CORS-origin allowlist on the callback.
* Authorize URL carries `plan=generic` (required for non-allowlisted
loopback clients) and `referrer=hermes-agent` for best-effort
attribution in xAI's OAuth server logs.
* Token storage in `auth.json` with file-locked atomic writes; JWT
`exp`-based expiry detection with skew; refresh-token rotation
synced both ways between the singleton store and the credential
pool so multi-process / multi-profile setups don't tear each other's
refresh tokens.
* Reactive 401 retry: on a 401 from the xAI Responses API, the agent
refreshes the token, swaps it back into `self.api_key`, and retries
the call once. Guarded against silent account swaps when the active
key was sourced from a different (manual) pool entry.
* Auxiliary tasks (curator, vision, embeddings, etc.) route through a
dedicated xAI Responses-mode auxiliary client instead of falling back
to OpenRouter billing.
* Direct HTTP tools (`tools/xai_http.py`, transcription, TTS, image-gen
plugin) resolve credentials through a unified runtime → singleton →
env-var fallback chain so xai-oauth users get them for free.
* `hermes auth add xai-oauth` and `hermes auth remove xai-oauth N` are
wired through the standard auth-commands surface; remove cleans up
the singleton loopback_pkce entry so it doesn't silently reinstate.
* `hermes model` provider picker shows
"xAI Grok OAuth (SuperGrok Subscription)" and the model-flow falls
back to pool credentials when the singleton is missing.
Hardening
---------
* Discovery and refresh responses validate the returned
`token_endpoint` host against the same `*.x.ai` allowlist as the
authorization endpoint, blocking MITM persistence of a hostile
endpoint.
* Discovery / refresh / token-exchange `response.json()` calls are
wrapped to raise typed `AuthError` on malformed bodies (captive
portals, proxy error pages) instead of leaking JSONDecodeError
tracebacks.
* `prompt_cache_key` is routed through `extra_body` on the codex
transport (sending it as a top-level kwarg trips xAI's SDK with a
TypeError).
* Credential-pool sync-back preserves `active_provider` so refreshing
an OAuth entry doesn't silently flip the active provider out from
under the running agent.
Testing
-------
* New `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_xai_oauth_provider.py` (~63 tests)
covers JWT expiry, OAuth URL params (plan + referrer), CORS origins,
redirect URI validation, singleton↔pool sync, concurrency races,
refresh error paths, runtime resolution, and malformed-JSON guards.
* Extended `test_credential_pool.py`, `test_codex_transport.py`, and
`test_run_agent_codex_responses.py` cover the pool sync-back,
`extra_body` routing, and 401 reactive refresh paths.
* 165 tests passing on this branch via `scripts/run_tests.sh`.
* fix(langfuse): reject placeholder credentials with one-shot warning
When operators leave HERMES_LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY / HERMES_LANGFUSE_SECRET_KEY
at a template value like 'placeholder', 'test-key', or 'your-langfuse-key',
the Langfuse SDK silently accepts the credentials at construction time and
drops every trace at flush time. No warning, no error — just an empty
Langfuse dashboard the operator only notices hours later.
Add prefix-based validation in _get_langfuse() against the documented
'pk-lf-' / 'sk-lf-' prefixes that Langfuse always issues server-side.
Anything else fires a single warning naming the offending env var(s)
with a log-safe value preview (full string for short placeholders so the
operator knows which template they left in place; truncated for long
values so a real secret pasted into the wrong field never hits the log),
then short-circuits via the existing _INIT_FAILED cache so the warning
fires once per process, not once per hook invocation.
The check sits after the 'Langfuse is None' SDK-installed guard so hosts
without the optional langfuse SDK don't see misleading 'set real keys'
hints when the actionable fix is 'pip install langfuse'. Missing
credentials remains the documented opt-out path and stays silent — no
log noise for unconfigured installs.
Fixes#22763Fixes#23823
* fix(langfuse): use actual API request messages for generation input
on_pre_llm_request previously used the messages kwarg alone, which
could be None when Hermes passes the payload via request_messages,
conversation_history, or user_message instead. Add _coerce_request_messages
to pick the first available list across all variants, falling back to a
synthetic user message. Generations now show the real outbound payload
rather than an empty input.
* fix(langfuse): record tool call outputs in traces
Tool observations showed input (arguments) but output was always
undefined. Root cause: when tool_call_id is empty, pre_tool_call stored
observations under a unique time-based key that post_tool_call could
never reconstruct, so every tool span was closed without output by the
_finish_trace sweep.
Fix pre/post matching by routing empty-tool_call_id tools through a
per-name FIFO queue (pending_tools_by_name) instead of the time-based
key. Tools with a tool_call_id continue to use the id-keyed dict.
Also:
- Preserve OpenAI-style nested function shape in serialized tool calls
so Langfuse renders name/arguments correctly
- Keep name + tool_call_id on role:tool messages for proper pairing
- Backfill tool results onto the matching turn_tool_calls entry so the
generation's tool-call record carries the result alongside arguments
- Coerce request messages from whichever field the runtime provides
(request_messages, messages, conversation_history, user_message)
* fix(langfuse): salvage-review polish — drop dead is_first_turn, shallow-copy request_messages, real threaded FIFO test
Self-review of the combined #22345 + #23831 salvage surfaced three issues
worth fixing in the same PR rather than as follow-ups:
1. Drop is_first_turn from the pre_api_request hook. The boolean expression
`not bool(conversation_history)` was wrong: conversation_history is
reassigned to None mid-run after compression (5 sites in run_agent.py),
so the value flips False -> True mid-conversation on every post-compression
API call. The langfuse plugin never consumed it, so the kwarg was both
misleading AND dead.
2. Replace copy.deepcopy(request_messages) with shallow list() copy. The
pre_api_request hook contract discards return values (invoke_hook never
writes back to api_kwargs), and the langfuse plugin's _serialize_messages
already builds its own snapshot dicts via _safe_value. A deepcopy on every
API call would walk every tool result and base64 image — significant
overhead for no real isolation benefit. Shallow copy of the outer list
protects against later mutations of api_messages without paying for the
inner-dict walk.
3. Rename test_empty_tool_call_id_concurrent_fifo_order ->
test_empty_tool_call_id_observations_are_fifo_within_tool_name and add a
real test_threaded_post_calls_preserve_fifo_under_lock that spawns 8
threads behind a barrier to actually exercise _STATE_LOCK on the
pending_tools_by_name queue. The original test was sequential and only
validated Python list semantics; this one validates the lock discipline.
4. Fix stale 'Cleared by reset_cache_for_tests()' comment on _INIT_FAILED —
that function does not exist. Tests reload the module via sys.modules.pop
+ importlib.import_module instead.
Tests: 37 langfuse plugin tests pass, 658 plugin tests overall pass.

Builds on @steezkelly's Bug A fix (#25857, top-level default_permissions
via _insert_managed_block_at_top_level) by addressing the other two
config-corruption bugs described in #26250:
Bug B (duplicate [plugins.X] tables)
- Codex itself writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] tables to
config.toml when the user runs `codex plugins enable` directly,
before hermes-agent's managed block exists. On the next migrate run,
_query_codex_plugins() re-discovers the same plugins via plugin/list
and render_codex_toml_section() re-emits them inside the managed
block. Codex's strict TOML parser then rejects the duplicate table
header on startup.
- Add _strip_unmanaged_plugin_tables() that drops [plugins.*] tables
from the user-content portion of the file. Only run it when
plugin/list succeeded — if the RPC failed we can't re-emit and
must preserve the user's tables. plugin/list is the source of
truth when it answers.
Bug C (HERMES_HOME pytest-tempdir leak into ~/.codex/config.toml)
- _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() read HERMES_HOME directly from
os.environ, so a sibling pytest's monkeypatch.setenv("HERMES_HOME",
tmp_path) silently burned a transient pytest tempdir into the
user's real ~/.codex/config.toml. After pytest reaped the tempdir,
every codex-routed hermes-tools tool call failed silently.
- Derive HERMES_HOME from get_hermes_home() (the canonical resolver
that goes through the profile-aware path) and refuse to emit
obvious test-tempdir paths via _looks_like_test_tempdir() as
belt-and-suspenders for any other callsite that forgets to patch
migrate().
- test_enable_succeeds_when_codex_present in test_codex_runtime_switch.py
invoked the real migrate() (no mock), writing to Path.home() / .codex
using whatever HERMES_HOME the running pytest session had set. Add
the same migrate patch the other apply() tests already use, so the
suite stops touching the user's real ~/.codex/config.toml.
E2E verification (replicating the issue's repro):
- Pre-state config.toml with user [mcp_servers.omx_team_run] +
codex-installed [plugins."tasks@openai-curated"],
HERMES_HOME="/private/var/folders/.../pytest-of-.../..."
- On origin/main: tomllib refuses to load the result with
"Cannot declare ('plugins', 'tasks@openai-curated') twice" AND
the pytest-tempdir HERMES_HOME is burned in.
- On this branch: file parses cleanly, default_permissions is
top-level, exactly one [plugins."tasks@openai-curated"] table
inside the managed block, no HERMES_HOME in the MCP env.
7 new regression tests covering all three bugs + the test-leak guard.
`bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_*.py` —
95 passed, 0 failed.
Closes#26250
