- Audio cues: beep on record start (880Hz), double beep on stop (660Hz)
- Silence detection: auto-stop recording after 3s of silence (RMS-based)
- Continuous mode: auto-restart recording after agent responds
- Ctrl+R starts continuous mode, Ctrl+R during recording exits it
- Waits for TTS to finish before restarting to avoid recording speaker
- Tests: 7 new tests for beep generation and silence detection
The test was failing because GROQ_API_KEY leaked from the environment.
Now both VOICE_TOOLS_OPENAI_KEY and GROQ_API_KEY are removed to
properly test the "no STT key" scenario.
- Change record key from c-@ to c-r (Ctrl+R) for macOS compatibility
- Add missing tempfile and time imports that caused silent TTS crash
- Use MP3 output for CLI TTS playback (afplay doesn't handle OGG well)
- Strip markdown formatting from text before sending to TTS
- Remove duplicate transcript echo in voice pipeline
- Add multi-provider STT support (OpenAI > Groq fallback) in transcription_tools
- Auto-correct model selection when provider doesn't support the configured model
- Change voice record key from Ctrl+Space to Ctrl+R (macOS compatibility)
- Fix duplicate transcript echo in voice pipeline
- Add GROQ_API_KEY to .env.example
* feat: improve context compaction handoff summaries
Adapt PR #916 onto current main by replacing the old context summary marker
with a clearer handoff wrapper, updating the summarization prompt for
resume-oriented summaries, and preserving the current call_llm-based
compression path.
* fix: clearer error when docker backend is unavailable
* fix: preserve docker discovery in backend preflight
Follow up on salvaged PR #940 by reusing find_docker() during the new
availability check so non-PATH Docker Desktop installs still work. Add
a regression test covering the resolved executable path.
* test: make gateway async tests xdist-safe
Replace sync test usage of asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete()
with asyncio.run() so tests do not depend on an ambient current event loop.
Also create the email disconnect poll task inside a running loop. This fixes
xdist/CI failures where workers have no current loop in MainThread.
* feat(skills): add phone-calls skill for outbound AI voice calls
Reformulated from core tool (PR #847 feedback) into a skill with a
standalone helper script. No new dependencies — uses only Python stdlib.
Two providers supported:
- Bland.ai (default): simple setup, one API key
- Vapi: flexible, better voice quality via ElevenLabs/Deepgram + Twilio
Includes:
- SKILL.md with full procedure, safety rules, provider docs, pitfalls
- scripts/phone_call.py CLI helper (call, status, diagnose commands)
* feat(skills): expand phone-calls into optional telephony skill
Follow up on salvaged PR #965 by moving the capability into optional-skills
and broadening it from outbound AI calling to a full telephony skill. Add
Twilio number provisioning, env/state persistence, SMS/MMS, inbound SMS
polling, Vapi import helpers, and a provider decision tree while keeping
telephony out of core runtime code.
* docs(skills): clarify Hermes TTS telephony workflow

- prevent raw MEDIA tag leakage outside the gateway pipeline
- make extract_media handle quoted/backticked paths and optional whitespace
- send Telegram media natively with explicit error/warning handling
- add regression tests for Telegram media dispatch and MEDIA parsing
The send_message tool's _send_telegram() sent MEDIA:<path> tags as
literal text instead of delivering actual files. This fixes it by
extracting MEDIA tags via BasePlatformAdapter.extract_media() and
routing files to the appropriate Telegram Bot API method by extension.
Changes:
- send_message_tool: extract MEDIA tags and send files natively as
photo/video/voice/audio/document based on file extension
- send_message_tool: add per-file error handling and missing-file logging
- send_message_tool: use cleaned text in fallback to avoid leaking tags
- base.py extract_media: handle optional space after MEDIA: colon
- base.py extract_media: strip surrounding backticks/quotes from paths

* feat(skills): salvage xitter skill from PR #1065
Adapt the X/Twitter skill onto current main without vendoring an external CLI.
Use upstream x-cli installation instructions, add a social-media category,
and align credential/setup guidance with Hermes conventions.
* docs(skills): explain X credential requirements in xitter skill
Clarify why the official X flow needs five credentials and call out the setup/cost friction explicitly.

Bridge quick_commands from config.yaml into load_gateway_config(),
normalize non-dict quick command config at runtime, and add coverage
for GatewayConfig round-trips plus config.yaml bridging. This makes the
GatewayConfig quick-command fix complete for the real user-facing config
path implicated by issue #973.

Apply skin-aware prompt symbols and live prompt_toolkit color refresh,
replace lingering hardcoded accent output with active-skin colors, keep
ANSI-safe response rendering, preserve secret-capture and approval-prompt
state handling, and add integration coverage for prompt state and style
refresh behavior.

Use asyncio.run in sync tests that were relying on an implicit current event loop. This makes the gateway send-image and Slack connect tests pass reliably under Python 3.11+ and xdist workers.
Add a /reasoning command across gateway adapters so users can
inspect or change reasoning effort without editing config by hand.
Reload reasoning settings from config.yaml before each agent run,
including background tasks, so the next message picks up the new
value consistently.

hermes setup hung indefinitely on headless SSH sessions, Docker
containers, and CI/CD environments because the interactive provider
selection menu could not receive input.
Two-layer fix:
1. sys.stdin.isatty() check — auto-detects non-interactive environments
2. --non-interactive flag support — already in CLI parser, now honored
In both cases the wizard exits immediately with helpful guidance
pointing users to 'hermes config set' commands.
Closes#905
