The old section sold Nous Portal as access to Hermes-4 models, which is
backwards — Hermes 4 is a chat/reasoning family that's NOT recommended
for Hermes Agent (per portal.nousresearch.com/info itself). The actual
value prop is the 300+ frontier agentic models (Claude, GPT, Gemini,
DeepSeek, etc.) plus the Tool Gateway plus Nous Chat under one
subscription.
Rewrite to lead with that, position the portal as the recommended way
to run Hermes Agent, demote Hermes 4 to a 'note' explaining why it's
not the right pick for agent workloads, and link to the
manage-subscription page from setup.
Policy: if it ain't a secret it goes in config.yaml. HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
was leaking behavioral config into the .env surface, including from the gateway,
which bypassed config.yaml entirely.
Behavior:
- gateway/run.py: drop HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER read in _resolve_runtime_agent_kwargs.
Gateway now flows through resolve_runtime_provider() with no `requested` override,
which reads model.provider from config.yaml first.
Docs/UX (strip env var from user-facing surface):
- --provider help text no longer mentions the env var
- cli-config.yaml.example same
- reference/environment-variables.md: remove HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER row and
the cross-reference from HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL
- reference/cli-commands.md: blank the env-var column for --provider
- guides/xai-grok-oauth.md, guides/minimax-oauth.md: replace
HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER=x hermes invocations with config.yaml / --provider
- developer-guide/adding-providers.md, model-provider-plugin.md: reframe
Internal mechanism (kept as-is):
- hermes_cli/main.py writes HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER into the TUI subprocess env
- tui_gateway/server.py reads it on TUI startup
- resolve_requested_provider() / oneshot.py / cli.py still fall through to the
env var as a last-resort behind config.yaml, which is what makes the TUI
parent->child handoff work
This stays. We just stop documenting it as a user knob.
Tests: tests/gateway/test_auth_fallback.py — simplify mock to fail on first
call, succeed on second; drop monkeypatch.setenv lines that no longer matter.
Supersedes #31064 (closed with credit to @novax635 who surfaced the underlying
issue but proposed aligning gateway *to* the env var rather than removing it).
Auxiliary LLM tasks (vision, compression, web_extract, etc.) currently
require modifications to core files for any plugin that needs its own
task slot — specifically the _AUX_TASKS list in hermes_cli/main.py and
the hardcoded env-var bridging dict in gateway/run.py. This violates
the 'plugins must not modify core files' rule and forces every memory
or context plugin that wants its own auxiliary task to either fork
core or open a coupled core+plugin PR.
This change adds a generic plugin surface for auxiliary task
registration:
ctx.register_auxiliary_task(
key='memory_retain_filter',
display_name='Memory retain filter',
description='hindsight pre-retain dedup/extract',
defaults={'timeout': 30, 'extra_body': {'reasoning_effort': 'low'}},
)
After registration, the task automatically:
- Appears in 'hermes model → Configure auxiliary models' picker via
a new _all_aux_tasks() merge of built-in + plugin tasks
- Has its provider/model/base_url/api_key bridged from config.yaml
to AUXILIARY_<KEY_UPPER>_* env vars at gateway startup
(gateway/run.py now uses a dynamic bridged-keys set instead of
a hardcoded per-task dict)
- Gets plugin-declared defaults (timeout, extra_body, etc.) layered
underneath user config so unconfigured plugin tasks still work
(agent/auxiliary_client._get_auxiliary_task_config)
- Resets to auto via 'Reset all to auto' alongside built-ins
Validation:
- Rejects shadowing of built-in keys (vision, compression, etc.)
- Rejects invalid key shapes (must match [A-Za-z0-9_]+)
- Rejects cross-plugin collisions (clear error)
- Allows same-plugin re-registration (idempotent updates)
Plugin discovery failures (rare) fall back gracefully — the aux
config UI still shows built-in tasks if get_plugin_auxiliary_tasks()
raises, and gateway env-var bridging keeps working for built-ins.
Built-in tasks remain hardcoded in _AUX_TASKS for stability — they're
the baseline UX, and DEFAULT_CONFIG already ships their defaults.
Plugin tasks layer on top.
Tests: 15 new tests in test_plugin_auxiliary_tasks.py covering API
validation, manager state lifecycle, helper sort order, _all_aux_tasks
merge semantics, _reset_aux_to_auto inclusion of plugin tasks, and
default-layering in auxiliary_client.
Updates the gateway-bridge code-parity test (test_auxiliary_config_bridge)
to assert the new dynamic shape rather than the hardcoded literal env
var names which no longer appear post-refactor.
Motivation: this unblocks PR #20262 (hindsight smart retain pipeline)
and similar plugins that need a dedicated aux task slot. The change
is non-breaking — built-in env vars (AUXILIARY_VISION_PROVIDER, etc.)
keep working since they're produced by the same f-string template
that built the hardcoded names.
Trim ~600 LOC off the original contribution while keeping the same
operator-facing surface and detection coverage.
- Collapse three entry points (file / dir / bundle) into one
ast_scan_path(path) that handles both files and directories.
- Drop AstFinding dataclass + severity field — replaced with plain
(file, line, pattern_id, description) tuples. Severity ordering was
display-only for a diagnostic that explicitly disclaims security
verdicts, so the field added bookkeeping without earning its place.
- Replace Rich-markup formatter with plain text grouped by file.
- Drop the 'inspect --ast-deep' surface — same scanner, same output as
'audit --deep', single CLI entry is enough. Operators audit after
install; pre-install inspection signal isn't worth the second surface.
- Trim test file to the cases that earn their place: bypass payload,
syntax error survival, RecursionError survival, false-positive guard
(importer lookalike), literal-arg false-positive guard, non-.py
ignored, directory recursion + cache-dir skipping, missing-path,
getattr/__dict__ detection, formatter empty + populated.
Net: tools/skills_ast_audit.py 353 -> 133 LOC,
tests/tools/test_skills_ast_audit.py 299 -> 103 LOC, full diff
+704/-12 -> +264/-6. No change to tools/skills_guard.py — Skills Guard
verdicts remain untouched per SECURITY.md §2.4.
Add opt-in AST diagnostics for skill review without making Skills Guard stricter by default.
- Add hermes skills inspect --ast-deep to scan fetched skill bundles before installation
- Add hermes skills audit --deep to scan already-installed hub skills
- Keep AST analysis in tools/skills_ast_audit.py, separate from tools/skills_guard.py
- Label output as diagnostic hints, not security verdicts
- Cover dynamic import/access patterns: importlib, __import__(computed), getattr(computed), and __dict__[computed]
This follows the maintainer guidance from closed PR #7436: useful AST-level analysis belongs in an opt-in diagnostic path, not in Skills Guard's default heuristic scan.
* fix(tui): refresh virtual transcript on viewport resize
Notify scroll subscribers when ScrollBox viewport bounds change and key virtual-history updates on viewport height so resize/keyboard changes remount the tail rows instead of leaving stale spacers visible.
* test(tui): isolate viewport-height remount regression
Keep the resize delta below the virtual history scroll quantum so the regression test specifically depends on viewport height entering the snapshot key.
* test(tui): clarify virtual history resize snapshot
Update the resize regression and comments so the test specifically guards viewport-height changes in the virtual-history snapshot key.
* docs(tui): clarify scrollbox subscription signals
Document that ScrollBox subscribers are notified for renderer-computed viewport and content bound changes, not only imperative scrolls.
* fix(tui): recompute virtual tail after width resize
Avoid preserving a frozen virtual transcript range when wrapped rows shrink enough that the old tail window no longer covers the viewport.
* fix(tui): preserve transcript tail across resizes
Wraps + heights are column-dependent, so a width change must remeasure
every row and the renderer must repaint the full viewport.
- Key virtualRows on cols so React remounts wrapped rows on resize.
- Snap back to bottom after sticky-mode resize once React rerenders.
- Reserve a scrollbar + gap column in transcriptBodyWidth (non-termux).
- Full repaint on any viewport height change (was: shrink-only).
- ScrollBox scrollHeight uses deepest child bottom so sticky-bottom
math can reach the real final rendered row after reflow.
- DECSTBM fast-path now requires full container rect match.
* feat(tui): responsive banner tiers
Terminals can't scale glyphs, so the banner now picks a layout per
column width instead of always rendering the full 101-col logo:
- Wide (>= logo width): full ASCII logo + tagline.
- Mid (>= 58 cols): centered rule banner that expands with viewport.
- Narrow (>= 34 cols): brand line + tagline, both width-aware.
- < 34 cols: hidden.
SessionPanel surfaces model/cwd/sid inline when the hero column is
hidden, so narrow layouts don't lose that info. Logo width constants
derive from the art itself.
* fix(tui): re-check sticky inside resize debounce + document remount
Addresses Copilot review on PR #31077:
- onResize now re-checks isSticky() inside the 100ms timer so manual
scrolls during the debounce window don't get snapped back to tail.
- Comment on the virtualRows cols-keying calls out the deliberate
trade-off: per-row local state (e.g. systemOpen) resets on resize so
yoga can remeasure off live geometry. The hook's scale-by-ratio path
is too approximate for mixed markdown widths.
Null bytes in API key values (introduced by copy-paste) crash
os.environ[k] = v with ValueError: embedded null byte, preventing
hermes from starting at all.
* docs(simplex): remove broken Docker install command (#26974)
The "Or Docker" snippet pointed at `simplexchat/simplex-chat`, which is
not a published Docker Hub image. Users following the docs hit:
docker: Error response from daemon: pull access denied for
simplexchat/simplex-chat, repository does not exist or may require
'docker login'.
The SimpleX Chat project only publishes Docker images for its server
components (smp-server, xftp-server) — the chat CLI is distributed as a
binary release. Drop the broken `docker run` line and keep the verified
binary-download path, with a note pointing users to the upstream
Dockerfile if they want to build a container themselves.

* docs(simplex): drop misleading "Dockerfile" link text
Copilot review flagged that the link text claimed "Dockerfile in the
upstream repo" but the URL pointed at the repository root, not a
specific Dockerfile path. Reword to "build from source from the
simplex-chat repository" so the link text and target match.

Bug 1: /voice off in TUI mode did not clear HERMES_VOICE_TTS,
leaving TTS stuck ON with no way to disable it (the voice.toggle
tts handler requires voice mode to be ON).
Bug 2: TUI status bar only showed 'voice on/off' without any
indication of whether TTS speech output is active, because the
frontend never tracked voiceTts state.
- tui_gateway/server.py: clear HERMES_VOICE_TTS when voice is turned off
- ui-tui/src/app/useMainApp.ts: add voiceTts state, thread setVoiceTts
through voice contexts, display [tts] in status bar
- ui-tui/src/app/slash/commands/session.ts: sync tts from voice.toggle response
- ui-tui/src/app/interfaces.ts: add setVoiceTts to all voice context interfaces
Move shutil.rmtree into a finally block so the temp directory is always
cleaned up, even when an exception occurs during download, extraction,
or file copying.
Robustness:
- Surface 401/404 stream failures via _set_fatal_error() so the gateway's
runtime status reflects 'fatal: ntfy_unauthorized' / 'ntfy_topic_not_found'
instead of staying 'connected' when the reconnect loop halts. Matches
the pattern in whatsapp / telegram / sms adapters.
- Strip whitespace from auth tokens so pasted tokens with trailing
newlines don't produce malformed Authorization headers.
Simplicity:
- Extract _build_auth_header() and _truncate_body() to module-level
helpers, used by both NtfyAdapter and _standalone_send. Removes the
duplicated auth/truncation logic between the two paths.
Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/ntfy.md — full setup guide,
identity-model warning, self-hosting, cron usage, troubleshooting.
- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md — all 9 NTFY_* vars.
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/index.md — platform comparison row.
- website/sidebars.ts — sidebar entry between simplex and open-webui.
Tests: 78/78 (+ 10 new robustness tests covering token hygiene, fatal
error propagation for 401/404, and the _truncate_body helper).
ntfy now ships as a self-contained plugin under plugins/platforms/ntfy/
instead of editing 8 core files (gateway/config.py Platform enum,
gateway/run.py factory + auth maps, cron/scheduler.py, toolsets.py,
hermes_cli/status.py, agent/prompt_builder.py, gateway/channel_directory.py,
tools/send_message_tool.py).
All routing goes through gateway/platform_registry via register_platform():
- adapter_factory, check_fn, validate_config, is_connected
- env_enablement_fn seeds PlatformConfig.extra from NTFY_* env vars so
gateway status reflects env-only setups without instantiating httpx
- standalone_sender_fn handles deliver=ntfy cron jobs when cron runs
out-of-process from the gateway
- allowed_users_env / allow_all_env hook into _is_user_authorized
- cron_deliver_env_var=NTFY_HOME_CHANNEL for cron home routing
- platform_hint surfaces in the system prompt
- pii_safe=True (topic names are the only identifier; no PII to redact)
Tests moved to tests/gateway/test_ntfy_plugin.py using _plugin_adapter_loader
so the module lives under plugin_adapter_ntfy in sys.modules and cannot
collide with sibling plugin-adapter tests on the same xdist worker. The
core-file grep tests (Platform.NTFY in source, hermes-ntfy in toolsets,
etc.) are replaced with plugin-shape tests covering register() metadata,
env_enablement_fn output, and standalone_sender_fn behavior.
68 tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.

* fix(tui): ignore late thinking deltas after completion

* test(tui): restore timers after thinking delta assertion
Keep fake timer cleanup in a finally block so assertion failures cannot leak timer mode into later tests.

Preserve paste handling for multi-character chunks with newlines while keeping repeated printable key bursts on the immediate composer path.
* refactor(tui): share composer frame batch interval
Use one frame-sized batching constant for parent updates, local renders, and input burst flushes.
First scratch workspace creation on an install now emits a one-shot
warning log + a 'tip_scratch_workspace' event on the task. Sentinel
file at ~/.hermes/kanban/.scratch_tip_shown silences subsequent
creations across the whole install.
Behavior unchanged — scratch is still ephemeral by design. This just
makes the design visible to new users (reported in user community:
'progress files vanished, no warning anywhere').
Docs (en + ko) updated to spell out 'Deleted when the task completes'
on the scratch bullet and 'Preserved on completion' on worktree/dir.
Path.resolve() before any I/O and confine backup writes to the resolved
parent directory. Adds explicit parent-equality assertions so static
analyzers see the containment guarantee, and walks WAL/SHM sidecars
through the same resolved-parent path so accidental .. segments are
collapsed before shutil.copy2.
Functionally equivalent to the original PR; preserves the corrupt bytes
to <db>.corrupt.<ts>.bak in the same directory, still raises
KanbanDbCorruptError from connect(). E2E with Stefan's exact hex header
+ malformed pages still passes. 163/163 kanban tests still pass.
A small, self-contained section under 'Skip the API-key collection —
Nous Portal' explaining what Portal gives you (300+ models + Tool
Gateway), the one-shot install command, and how to inspect routing.
No buzzwords, no comparison tables, no overselling.
Positioned right after 'Getting Started' so it lands where someone
scanning the README has just seen the install steps and is deciding
their next move. Skippable by anyone who already knows their provider.
The line 'You can still bring your own keys per-tool whenever you
want' is the deliberate honesty rail — Portal is an option, not a
funnel. Existing per-provider language elsewhere in the README is
unchanged.
Mirrored to README.zh-CN.md to keep the two READMEs in sync.
User incident (Slack, 2026-05-13): user walked away mid-conversation,
agent requested approval to run `rm -rf .git`, the prompt timed out
after the gateway_timeout (default 300s), and the agent removed the
.git folder on its own. Corroborated by an independent report from a
Telegram user.
The underlying code path was correct — `check_all_command_guards`
returns `approved=False` with a BLOCKED message on both timeout and
explicit deny, and `terminal_tool` surfaces that as `status=blocked`
to the agent. The bug is at the model-interface layer: the message
"BLOCKED: Command timed out. Do NOT retry this command." reads to
some models as "try a different command achieving the same outcome."
This commit changes only the model-facing message + the structured
return shape:
- Timeout message now explicitly names the three evasion paths the
agent must avoid: retry, rephrase, AND achieve the same outcome
via a different command. Ends with "Silence is not consent."
- Explicit deny gets the same shape minus the silence-is-not-consent
line (it WAS an explicit deny, not silence).
- New structured fields on the return dict: `outcome` ("timeout"
or "denied") and `user_consent` (always False on this branch)
so plugins, hooks, and audit pipelines don't have to string-parse
the message to distinguish the two cases.
The mechanism that should already have prevented the original incident
— timeout treated as deny, BLOCKED result, post hook fires with
`choice="timeout"` — is unchanged. This commit hardens only the
agent's reading of the result.
Tests:
- test_timeout_returns_approved_false_with_no_consent — pins the
return shape on the Slack-shaped notify_cb-registered path
- test_timeout_message_is_emphatic_against_retry_and_rephrase —
pins the exact phrases the message must contain
- test_explicit_deny_carries_same_no_consent_shape — same contract
on explicit /deny
- test_timeout_emits_post_hook_with_timeout_outcome — pins the
post_approval_response hook payload so audit plugins can act
329 approval tests passing (4 new + 325 existing).
Fixes#24912
Reproduction (production, 2026-05-14): two concurrent sessions on the
same agent. Session A patches MEMORY.md directly via the patch tool,
appending ~8KB of structured content (Vendor Master, Standing Orders,
Pin Board) — none of it through the memory tool, so no § delimiters.
Session B starts later with stale in-memory state (1 entry, ~331
chars). Session B calls memory(action=replace) on its one known
entry. The tool's _read_file parses A's content as a single 8KB
'entry' (no § splits), then replace truncates that entry to B's new
333-byte content. ~8KB of structured content silently destroyed.
The atomic-rename write path is fine in isolation. The bug is the
implicit contract: the tool assumes MEMORY.md is exclusively a
§-delimited list of small entries it wrote, but the v0.13 install
runbook itself uses 'cat >> MEMORY.md' for onboarding, the patch tool
edits the file directly, and operators do too.
Fix: a drift guard in MemoryStore._detect_external_drift that fires
on either signal:
1. Re-parse + re-serialize doesn't produce identical bytes
(catches oddly-encoded delimiters / partial writes).
2. Any single parsed entry exceeds the store's whole-file char
limit. The tool budgets the ENTIRE store against that limit
(2200 chars for memory, 1375 for user), so no tool-written
entry can legitimately be larger. An entry bigger than the
store limit means an external writer dropped free-form content
into what the tool will treat as one entry.
When drift fires, _reload_target writes a .bak.<ts> snapshot of the
on-disk file, then add/replace/remove refuse to flush. The original
file stays untouched. The error dict surfaces the .bak path AND a
remediation string ('integrate missing entries via memory(add=...)
one at a time, then rewrite the file clean') so the model can act on
it without escalating to the operator.
Tests:
- test_replace_refuses_on_drift, test_add_refuses_on_drift,
test_remove_refuses_on_drift — all three mutators refuse
- test_clean_file_does_not_trigger_drift — false-positive check
- test_error_message_points_at_remediation — error string shape
- test_drift_guard_also_protects_user_target — USER.md too
- test_drift_backup_filename_is_unique_per_invocation — bak.<ts>

Fixes#26045
_recover_with_credential_pool had a second classification site that blanket-
treated any 403 against xai-oauth as entitlement (defense-in-depth for
#26847). That override defeated the new _is_entitlement_failure
disambiguator from the parent commit — bad-credentials 403s still
short-circuited the refresh path.
Apply the same WKE-unauthenticated / OAuth2-validation-phrase guard at
the override site so xAI's authoritative 'this is auth, not entitlement'
signal wins there too. The #26847 catch-all still triggers for genuine
entitlement bodies that don't carry the disambiguator.
Closes the end-to-end gap exposed by
test_recover_with_credential_pool_refreshes_on_xai_bad_credentials_403.
Eleven new tests pinning the #29344 fix. Layout mirrors the existing
"Fix D" entitlement section so the bad-credentials disambiguator
sits alongside the entitlement-block tests it complements.
Classifier-level coverage:
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_bad_credentials_wke_suffix``
— verbatim shape from the reporter's wire capture
(``{code: 'caller does not have permission', error: 'OAuth2 access
token could not be validated. [WKE=unauthenticated:bad-credentials]'}``)
↦ classifier must return False so the refresh path runs.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_wke_suffix_in_normalized_shape``
— same body after ``_extract_api_error_context`` has rewritten it
to ``{reason, message}``. The disambiguator must fire in BOTH
shapes; without this guard the production call site at
``_recover_with_credential_pool`` (which goes through the
normalised extractor) would still misclassify.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_any_wke_unauthenticated_variant``
— parametrised forward-compat: ``bad-credentials``,
``expired-token``, ``revoked``, ``some-future-reason``. xAI
documents the prefix as stable, the suffix after the colon as a
reason code that can grow; every variant under
``unauthenticated:`` must route to refresh.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_via_oauth2_validation_phrase_alone``
— belt-and-braces guard: if a future API revision drops the WKE
suffix but keeps "OAuth2 access token could not be validated", we
still classify correctly.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_wke_signal_overrides_entitlement_keywords``
— defensive: if a body ever carries BOTH the WKE suffix and
entitlement language, the WKE signal wins. Auth is recoverable;
entitlement isn't, and a refreshed token will resurface the
entitlement message on the next request.
* ``test_is_entitlement_failure_case_insensitive_wke_match`` —
pins that the classifier lowercases the haystack so a future xAI
build that uppercases the prefix doesn't reintroduce the bug.
Recovery-path coverage (end-to-end through
``_recover_with_credential_pool``):
* ``test_recover_with_credential_pool_refreshes_on_xai_bad_credentials_403``
— the headline test the reporter requested: a bad-credentials 403
with the exact wire body must call ``try_refresh_current()``
exactly once and ``_swap_credential`` once. Pre-fix this returned
``(False, _)`` because the entitlement classifier over-matched and
short-circuited the refresh path.
* ``test_recover_with_credential_pool_still_blocks_real_entitlement``
— companion regression guard for #26847: a pure unsubscribed-
account body (no WKE suffix, no OAuth2-validation phrase) must
still surface as entitlement and skip refresh. The new
disambiguator must not weaken the original loop-protection it
was added to preserve.
The scaffolding reuses ``_make_codex_agent``, ``_FakePool``, and the
existing ``MagicMock`` patterns from the surrounding tests so the
new section reads as a natural extension of "Fix D" rather than a
separate test file.
``_is_entitlement_failure`` over-matched on xAI 403s. xAI returns the
same permission-denied ``code`` text for two distinct conditions:
1. Unsubscribed account ("active Grok subscription. Manage at
https://grok.com" in the ``error`` field).
2. Stale OAuth access token ("OAuth2 access token could not be
validated. [WKE=unauthenticated:bad-credentials]" in the ``error``
field).
The classifier's "does not have permission + grok" substring heuristic
treated both identically, so the credential-pool refresh path was
short-circuited for case (2) — long-running TUI sessions stuck on a
stale OAuth token surfaced a non-retryable client error and the user
had to exit + reopen the TUI to recover (the startup-resolve path
bypasses the classifier entirely, which is why bridge adapters with
proactive refresh cadences didn't see this in practice).
This patch adopts the reporter's recommended fix (option 1, tightest):
honor xAI's explicit ``[WKE=unauthenticated:...]`` suffix and the
``OAuth2 access token could not be validated`` phrasing as
authoritative "this is auth, not entitlement" signals. When either
appears anywhere in the body's text fields, the classifier returns
False eagerly — *before* the entitlement keyword checks run — so the
refresh-on-401 path takes over and the existing loop-protection still
guards against runaway refresh storms if the refresh itself fails.
Two small adjustments fall out of this:
* The haystack now also covers ``code`` and ``error`` keys directly,
not just the ``message``/``reason`` shape ``_extract_api_error_context``
produces. Real runtime paths use the normalised shape, but the test
suite and any future call sites that pass raw bodies get the same
treatment. Backwards compatible: missing keys default to empty
strings, the haystack still skips when everything is blank.
* Both disambiguator checks fire BEFORE the entitlement keyword
checks. If a future xAI body somehow lands with both an entitlement
message AND the WKE suffix, the WKE suffix wins (correct — auth is
recoverable; entitlement is not, and a refreshed token will surface
the entitlement message on the next request anyway).
Existing tests (``test_is_entitlement_failure_matches_real_xai_bodies``,
``test_is_entitlement_failure_false_for_unrelated_auth_errors``,
``test_recover_with_credential_pool_skips_refresh_on_entitlement_403``,
``test_recover_with_credential_pool_still_refreshes_genuine_auth_failure``)
continue to pass unchanged — the unsubscribed-account path, the
generic auth-error path, and the refresh-on-401 path are all left
intact.
Follow-up to #30869. Adds Portal mentions on user-facing pages that
naturally call for an LLM + tool credentials but didn't previously
acknowledge Portal as a one-stop option.
- getting-started/installation.md: tip after the 'after install' block
pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' for users who want everything wired
at once instead of piecewise via 'hermes model' + 'hermes tools'.
- user-guide/configuring-models.md: small tip near the top — the page is
literally about provider/model choice and previously had zero Portal
mention.
- user-guide/features/voice-mode.md: Prerequisites need both an LLM and
TTS — a Portal subscription is the single setup that covers both.
- user-guide/features/batch-processing.md: highlights Portal as a
predictable-cost option for parallel agent runs that hit many APIs.
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: backend needs models + tools; one
Portal sub gives a fully-equipped OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
- user-guide/windows-native.md: early-beta users on Windows benefit most
from skipping per-tool Windows-key-juggling.
- integrations/providers.md: updates the existing Tool Gateway tip and
the Nous Portal section to mention the new commands.
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: Nous row in the provider
table now lists 'hermes setup --portal' as the fresh-install path.
Tone discipline: one Portal mention per page, concrete CLI commands
(no marketing copy), always solving a problem the page itself sets up.
PR #30860 added a one-shot Portal setup command and a small portal CLI
surface. Update the docs so the new commands are discoverable without
upgrading the tone of existing Portal mentions.
- getting-started/quickstart.md: small tip near Choose a Provider
pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' as the easiest fresh-install path.
- user-guide/features/tool-gateway.md: lead the Get-Started section
with 'hermes setup --portal' for fresh installs, keep 'hermes model'
for already-configured users, and add 'hermes portal status / tools'
to the activity-check commands.
- user-guide/features/{web-search,image-generation,tts,browser}.md: the
existing 'Nous Subscribers' tip blocks now name the one-shot command
for new installs, keeping the existing 'hermes tools' path for users
who only want to swap a single backend.
- reference/cli-commands.md: register 'hermes portal' in the top-level
command table, add a 'hermes portal' section with subcommands, and
add '--portal' to the 'hermes setup' options table.
Tone: each page already had a Portal mention. This PR keeps the per-page
count to one and uses concrete CLI commands rather than promotional copy.
Tool Gateway page is the one exception (the whole doc is about Portal).
Closes#30045. Based on @qike-ms's PR #30141.
Telegram status callbacks (lifecycle, compression, context-pressure)
used to append a fresh bubble on every emit. Now adapter tracks
{(chat_id, status_key) -> message_id}; first call sends, subsequent
calls edit. Failed edits drop the cache entry and fall through to a
fresh send.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: send_or_update_status() (+34 LOC)
- gateway/run.py: route _status_callback_sync through it when the
adapter supports it; plain adapter.send() otherwise (+15 LOC)
- 5 tests covering first send / edit-in-place / edit-failure fallback
/ distinct key & chat isolation
PR 2362cc468 ("fix(gateway): enforce env variable template expansion
on runtime config loaders") refactored `_load_service_tier` to read
config via the new `_load_gateway_runtime_config` wrapper instead of
opening `_hermes_home/config.yaml` directly. The
`test_run_agent_passes_priority_processing_to_gateway_agent` test still
only stubbed `_load_gateway_config` (the inner loader), so the runtime
wrapper saw an empty config and `_load_service_tier` returned None,
breaking the test:
FAILED tests/gateway/test_fast_command.py::test_run_agent_passes_priority_processing_to_gateway_agent
- AssertionError: assert None == 'priority'
Fix: also stub `_load_gateway_runtime_config` to return the expected
`agent.service_tier=fast` config, so the test once again drives the
priority routing path it was written to verify.
Confirmed reproducing on current main before the patch and passing
after.
* feat(portal): one-shot setup, status CLI, and Nous-included markers
Four small Portal-aware surfaces that drive subscription value without
adding friction for non-Portal users.
- hermes setup --portal: one-shot Nous OAuth + provider switch + Tool
Gateway opt-in. Shareable as a single command from docs/social.
- hermes portal {status,open,tools}: small surface over Portal auth +
Tool Gateway routing. Defaults to 'status' when no subcommand.
- Tool picker (hermes tools): when the user is logged into Nous, mark
Nous-managed provider rows with a star and 'Included with your Nous
subscription'. Suppressed when not authed — non-subscribers see the
picker unchanged.
- BYOK setup hint: a single dim line 'Available through Nous Portal
subscription.' appears when the user is being prompted for a paid
API key (Firecrawl, FAL, ElevenLabs, Browserbase, etc.) AND the
category has a Nous-managed sibling AND the user is not already
authed to Nous. Suppressed in all other cases.
Tested live end-to-end in an isolated HERMES_HOME with a simulated
authed and unauthed user. Targeted suite (tests/hermes_cli/
test_tools_config.py + test_setup.py) passes 97/97.
* fix: add portal to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery fast-path skips it
Follow-up to @sprmn24's verdict-logic fix. The previous block-message
ended in 'Use --force to override' regardless of verdict — but as of
the --force fix above, dangerous community/trusted skills can't be
overridden by --force at all. The misleading hint sends users in a
loop. Replace it with a specific message that tells them what the
documented behavior actually is.
Adds two regression tests covering the dangerous-verdict message
shape and one that pins the existing --force hint for non-dangerous
blocks.
