Follow-up to the salvaged contributor commit, closing the three gaps
flagged in the sweeper review:
1. Init ordering: assign compression.model_thresholds to a selected
plugin context engine BEFORE the initial update_model() call in
agent_init.py, so the initial model's override applies from init
(previously it only took effect after the first /model switch).
Base-class ContextEngine.update_model() now snapshots the
pre-override percent once so repeated switches fall back to the
engine's configured threshold, not a previous model's override.
2. DEFAULT_CONFIG: add compression.model_thresholds (empty map) to
hermes_cli/config.py — additive key, no _config_version bump.
3. Docs: document the key in
website/docs/developer-guide/context-compression-and-caching.md
(yaml example, parameter table, dedicated section) and update the
plugin-boundary note in context-engine-plugin.md to state the
explicit context-engine contract for model_thresholds.
Adds tests/run_agent/test_per_model_threshold_init_ordering.py:
plugin-engine AIAgent init regression (override applies at init,
empty map unchanged), DEFAULT_CONFIG key presence, floor interaction
on the model-switch path (override below the small-context floor is
raised to the floor; above the floor wins), and base-class config
snapshot across repeated switches. Also maps @bennybuoy in
contributors/emails/.
Addresses teknium1 review feedback on PR #60781:
1. Gateway cache invalidation: added ('compression', 'model_thresholds')
to _CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS so a live config edit to the map
invalidates the cached compressor (previously kept stale thresholds).
2. Integrated resolver with small-context floor: per-model overrides are
resolved FIRST, then the existing 75% floor for <512K models is applied
on top. The floor is no longer replaced — it stacks. An override below
75% on a small-context model still gets floored to 75% (raise-only);
an override above 75% wins.
3. Clean rebase on upstream main — no unrelated deletions or anti-thrashing
changes. Only the per-model threshold feature is added.
Changes:
- resolve_model_threshold() module-level helper (longest substring match)
- ContextCompressor.__init__ accepts model_thresholds dict
- _base_threshold_percent stores the per-model resolved value
- _config_threshold_percent stores the raw config value (fallback base)
- update_model() re-resolves on /model switch, falls back to config value
- ContextEngine base class update_model() applies overrides for plugin engines
- agent_init.py reads compression.model_thresholds from config, passes to ctor
- gateway/run.py cache busting key added
- cli-config.yaml.example documents the feature
- 17 tests covering resolve helper, compressor init (large/small context,
override above/below floor), update_model (re-resolve, fallback), base class

skip_memory=True was meant to skip the external memory *provider* for flush/
background agents, but it also suppressed creation of the built-in file-backed
MemoryStore. When a caller still enables the "memory" toolset, the memory tool
dispatched with store=None and every call failed with "Memory is not available",
silently losing the main automatic memory-capture path.
Now the built-in store is created whenever memory is enabled in config OR the
memory toolset is explicitly enabled, while the external-provider block stays
gated on skip_memory (preserving flush-agent intent).
The salvaged guard from #52276 only fired when a system prompt was
present in messages[] (system is not None after extraction). The live
repro of #52160 is the auto path: the system prompt is passed outside
messages[], so after the second compaction messages[0] is the
assistant-role summary with system=None — and the guard never ran.
Make _ensure_leading_user_turn unconditional, exactly mirroring the
Bedrock Converse adapter ('Converse requires the first message to be
from the user' — convert_messages_to_converse). Add a regression test
building the exact post-double-compaction shape (no system in
messages, messages[0]=assistant summary) asserting the converted
payload leads with a user turn, and update existing fixtures that
started with a bare assistant message to locate roles instead of
indexing result[0].
Anthropic extracts the system prompt into a separate `system` field and
requires messages[0] to be role="user"; a leading assistant turn is rejected
with HTTP 400. After a second context compaction the only surviving leading
anchor is the system prompt, so a summary/handoff message emitted as
role="assistant" becomes the first messages entry once the system prompt is
extracted. Anthropic reports this with a misleading error —
`messages.N: tool_use ids were found without tool_result blocks immediately
after: toolu_...` — even when every tool_use/tool_result pair is adjacent and
matched; the real structural defect is the leading assistant role (#52160).
This is engine-agnostic: it fires for any producer of a leading-assistant
transcript (built-in compressor, the DAG/LCM context engine, session
truncation), unlike the compressor-scoped fix in #52167. The native Bedrock
Converse adapter already guards the same invariant
(convert_messages_to_converse); this mirrors it for the native Anthropic path.
Add _ensure_leading_user_turn() to the convert_messages_to_anthropic
post-processing chain, scoped to the system-extracted case (the production
trigger) so bare assistant-only unit fixtures are unaffected. Adds regression
tests (leading-assistant, leading-assistant-with-adjacent-tool_use, and a
no-op negative control).
Two compounding defects in the holographic memory provider (#57682):
1. The on_session_end gate used plain truthiness on auto_extract, but the
plugin's own config schema declares it as a string enum with default
"false" — and not "false" is False, so extraction ran for users who
had it configured off. Coerce with the shared utils.is_truthy_value
(same fix class as the merged byterover no-op fix).
2. _auto_extract_facts scanned every role=user message. Context-compaction
handoff summaries can be inserted as role=user messages and their prose
reliably matches the decision patterns (we decided/agreed, the project
uses), so the compactor's own output was persisted as a durable project
fact on every rollover following a compaction — recreated even after
manual deletion.
Adds agent.context_compressor.is_compaction_summary_message(), a public
helper that prefers the in-process COMPRESSED_SUMMARY_METADATA_KEY marker
and falls back to _is_context_summary_content() (covers merged-into-tail
and historical prefixes), since the metadata key is stripped by wire
sanitizers and doesn't survive all session-store round-trips. The plugin
skips summary messages before pattern matching.
Fixes#57682
Review follow-up on #67431 (hermes-sweeper):
- The viability check compared the floored percentage against the raw
context window, but the built-in trigger recomputation also applies the
output-token reservation, the 64K floor, and the degenerate-window
guard (_compute_threshold_tokens). Mirror that math exactly, so e.g. a
200K window with max_tokens=120K recomputes to max(0.75*80K, 64K)=64K
and the suggestion is correctly KEPT for an 80K aux model instead of
being suppressed by the raw-window percentage.
- Gate the built-in policy behind isinstance(ContextCompressor): external
context engines own compaction policy (#44439), so plugin engines keep
the plain suggestion untouched.
- The non-viable explanation now names the recomputed trigger instead of
hardcoding the 75%/512K wording, so it stays accurate when the
reservation (not the percentage floor) is what makes the value
unreachable.
Tests: reservation-viability regression and plugin-engine passthrough,
per the review; the floored-branch assertion updated to the recomputed
number.

The auxiliary-compression feasibility warning computes its
compression.threshold suggestion as aux_context / main_context,
independently of ContextCompressor._effective_threshold_percent()'s
raise-only small-context floor. For main windows under 512K the floor
raises any configured value below 75% back up, so a suggestion like
'threshold: 0.40' is silently ignored and the same warning returns every
session.
Derive the suggestion's viability through the compressor's own floor
logic: offer the 'lower the threshold' option only when the floored value
still fits the auxiliary model's context; otherwise recommend only a
larger compression model and explain the floor, so the guidance is always
actionable.
Tests: the updated auto-correct test pins the floored branch (no
threshold suggestion, floor explained); two new tests pin the surviving
suggestion at/above the floor on a small window and below 75% on a
512K+ window where no floor applies. The updated test fails against the
previous code.
Fixes#67422

Refresh the agent activity tracker while context compression is blocked in the auxiliary summarizer so gateway watchdogs do not report inactivity during long compactions.
Add regression coverage for successful heartbeats, exception cleanup, touch failures, and strict-signature compressor fallback.
(cherry picked from commit c09e58b7709cc60c5b454701f0ecf840e759222f)
The salvaged estimator ran a per-character Python loop on every
estimate_tokens_rough() call — a ~28,000,000x slowdown vs (len+3)//4 on a
1MB ASCII tool output (measured ~3.0s per call). Gate it:
- str.isascii() O(1) fast path keeps pure-ASCII text bit-identical to the
classic (len+3)//4 rule at ~1.3x baseline cost (0.23us vs 0.17us per
1MB call).
- Non-ASCII text counts dense CJK chars via a compiled character-class
regex in C (len(text) - len(re.sub(''))): ~352ms/1MB hangul vs ~2.1s
for the per-char loop.
- Non-ASCII-but-non-CJK text (accents, Cyrillic, emoji) keeps the classic
rule.
Also: parity tests against the per-char reference implementation, and
updated two stale expectations that encoded the old behavior (CJK now
counted ~1 token/char; short string content now ceil-divided instead of
floored to 0). The continuity test now detects merged-into-tail summaries
via _is_context_summary_content.
Follow-up to the salvaged #64010 (Kenmege) and #63870 (dombejar) commits,
making one resolved compression.max_attempts cap govern ALL per-turn
compression attempt sites:
- conversation_loop: resolve max_compression_attempts ONCE at turn start
(it was previously re-resolved inside the API-call loop) and route the
pre-API pressure gate through it — that gate still hardcoded
'compression_attempts < 3' and logged 'attempt=%s/3'.
- conversation_loop: the salvaged post-tool compaction gate now uses the
resolved cap instead of a hardcoded 3.
- turn_context: the preflight compaction loop was 'for _pass in range(3)';
it now sizes itself from the same resolved cap.
- agent_init: harden the max_attempts parser — reject booleans (bool
subclasses int; 'true' would coerce to 1), reject fractional floats
instead of truncating them, keep accepting integral floats and numeric
strings; anything else falls back to 3 (floor 1, ceiling 10 unchanged).
- tests: replace #63870's inspect.getsource source-shape test with
behavioral loop tests (post-tool compaction fires <= cap times per turn,
shares its budget with the pre-API gate, resets between turns); add an
e2e test proving a 4th preflight pass runs at config cap=6 while the
unset default still stops at 3; extend the #64010 config tests with the
bool/float parser semantics.
Salvages #64010 by @Kenmege and #63870 by @dombejar.
The conversation loop hardcodes max_compression_attempts = 3. Sessions
that legitimately need more rounds are stranded: on a restart history
reload, incompressible tool schemas can keep the per-request estimate
above the compressor threshold even though the message floor compresses
correctly, so three rounds cannot clear it and the turn dies with
"Context length exceeded: max compression attempts (3) reached" — the
same failure class as #62605, where the rough estimate similarly leaves
3 retries short.
Make the cap a config key, compression.max_attempts:
- default 3 = identical to today, so an unset key is behavior-neutral;
- parsed and validated in agent_init alongside the other compression.*
keys (>= 1, hard-capped at 10, non-integer values fall back to 3),
attached as agent.max_compression_attempts;
- the loop reads it via getattr(agent, "max_compression_attempts", 3),
so objects without the attribute keep the prior behavior;
- documented in the DEFAULT_CONFIG compression block.
Tests pin the parse/validate/attach seam: default preserved, custom
value honored, floor and ceiling enforced, garbage tolerated, and the
loop-side getattr degradation.

Reworks the salvaged command module into a CommandSource(SecretSource)
registered as the third bundled source, composing with Bitwarden and
1Password through the apply_all() orchestrator — enable any combination
simultaneously. The original PR's secrets.provider single-selector is
deliberately dropped: multi-source is first-class and a mutually
exclusive provider switch would regress that.
- fetch() only fetches; precedence/override/conflicts/environ writes stay
in the orchestrator. ErrorKind classification + remediation hints.
- apply_command_secrets() kept as a legacy shim (parser/security helpers
unchanged: HERMES_SECRET_KEY data-only key passing, cross-key misroute
guard, base64-padding disambiguation, timeout + output cap, structured-
fields-only failure logging, stderr discarded).
- Dispatch tests rewritten for the registry path incl. an explicit
two-sources-compose test; selector tests removed with the selector.
- cli-config.yaml.example + docs page (command.md), secrets index entry.
- contributors mapping for mvalentin@valensys.net -> 0xr00tf3rr3t.
Brings the agent's secret-source system to parity with the desktop app's
`command` secrets provider (hermes-desktop src/main/secrets/commandProvider.ts),
so a vault helper configured for the desktop also resolves on the gateway/CLI.
NEW agent/secret_sources/command.py — ports the TS provider's security model:
- Runs a user-configured helper via `/bin/sh -c`; the requested key travels
ONLY in the HERMES_SECRET_KEY env var, never interpolated into the command
string, so a hostile key name is inert data (not code).
- parse_secret_output mirrors the TS parser: exact dotenv-key match wins; >=2
env-shaped lines without the wanted key -> None; otherwise a bare value;
base64 '='-padding disambiguation; cross-key misroute guard (a single
OTHER_KEY=realvalue line never leaks into a different wanted key).
- Hard 3s timeout (kills the whole process group via killpg, so a forking
helper can't keep the pipe open), 1 MiB output cap, POSIX-only (Windows
degrades to an empty result + warning). Every failure degrades to "no value";
it never raises and never blocks startup.
- Logs ONLY structured fields (code=/signal=/errno=) to stderr; the helper's
stderr is piped and DISCARDED; the command string and secret values are
never logged. Reuses bitwarden.py's FetchResult so env_loader consumes both
sources identically.
hermes_cli/env_loader.py — _apply_external_secret_sources now reads a unified
`secrets.provider` selector ("env" | "command" | "bitwarden"):
- provider=command routes to apply_command_secrets, records the provenance as
"command" in _SECRET_SOURCES (so format_secret_source_suffix labels keys
"(from command)" — already generic, not duplicated), and re-runs the ASCII
credential sanitizer like the bitwarden path.
- provider=bitwarden keeps the existing behavior byte-for-byte.
- env / unset is a no-op (today's default — zero change for existing users).
- BACK-COMPAT: a config with only `secrets.bitwarden.enabled: true` and no
`provider` key is treated as provider=bitwarden, so existing Bitwarden users
are unaffected.
Config (the provider selector, command path, timeouts) lives in config.yaml
under `secrets:` per the project rubric — only resolved secret VALUES touch env.
Tests: NEW tests/test_command_secret_source.py — 27 cases, E2E against a real
temp HERMES_HOME with real chmod+x shell helpers (not mocks): bare/dotenv/
base64 round-trip, cross-key misroute, injection-inert key (canary not
created), timeout kill within bound, non-zero-exit degrade, no-secret-in-logs,
precedence/override, dispatch via config.yaml provider:command, idempotency,
and back-compat bitwarden routing. 27 new + 50 baseline green; wider
secrets/env_loader/config surface 229 passed / 5 skipped, no regression.
Snapshot values applied by external secret sources per resolved HERMES_HOME so a later profile cannot replace an earlier profile scope through shared os.environ.
Keep provider and credential-pool fallback reads on the active secret scope, and fail closed on unscoped multiplex reads.
Tests: scripts/run_tests.sh tests/test_env_loader_secret_sources.py tests/test_env_loader_op_bootstrap.py tests/agent/test_secret_scope.py tests/agent/test_credential_pool.py tests/tools/test_credential_pool_env_fallback.py tests/hermes_cli/test_xiaomi_provider.py tests/cron/test_run_one_job.py tests/hermes_cli/test_api_key_providers.py tests/gateway/test_multiplex_credential_isolation.py -q (395 passed)
Fixes the profile-clobber bug cluster at the apply_all() chokepoint so
every secret source — bundled and plugin — gets both behaviors for free:
- secrets.preserve_existing (#58073): env var names whose existing .env /
shell value always wins, even against a source with
override_existing: true. Escape hatch for per-profile platform
secrets while everything else rotates centrally.
- Profile aliasing (#51447): under a named profile, an applied
FOO_<PROFILE> var (credential-shaped suffixes only) also hydrates the
canonical FOO, so adapters/plugins that read fixed env names see the
profile's value. Direct supply beats alias; protected/claimed/
override guards all apply; secrets.profile_alias: false disables.
Reimplements the intent of PR #58085 (tianma-if, preserve_existing on the
legacy Bitwarden apply shim) and PR #51616 (LeonSGP43, profile aliasing
inside the Bitwarden backend) on the SecretSource orchestrator that
superseded those code paths.
Fixes#58073. Fixes#51447.

fdab380a1 wraps every cron job in a <home>/.env secret scope regardless of
deployment mode. get_secret() treats any installed scope as authoritative,
so in single-profile deployments where provider keys live only in the
process environment (systemd Environment=, pass-cli/op run wrappers, shell
exports) every cron credential read returns empty, the OpenAI client is
built with the no-key-required placeholder, and each scheduled job 401s —
while interactive turns keep working. Scope-miss reads now fall through to
os.environ when multiplexing is off; multiplexed scopes stay authoritative.

The 1Password secret source builds a minimal allowlisted environment for the
`op read` child process. The allowlist omits OP_LOAD_DESKTOP_APP_SETTINGS, so a
user who exports it (shell, .env, or service unit) sees it silently stripped
before it reaches `op`.
That var is `op`'s documented switch to skip the desktop-app integration probe.
When the 1Password desktop app is installed, `op` probes its settings/socket at
startup *before* evaluating service-account auth. If the desktop app's group
container is wedged (e.g. macOS 'Interrupted system call' on the 1Password group
container), that probe blocks with no timeout, so `op read` hangs indefinitely
even with a valid OP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN present. Setting
OP_LOAD_DESKTOP_APP_SETTINGS=false is the intended escape hatch — but stripping
it means it has no effect on exactly the headless boxes that need it.
Fix: add OP_LOAD_DESKTOP_APP_SETTINGS to _OP_ENV_ALLOWLIST so the documented
var reaches the child. No behavior change when it's unset. Adds a focused test
alongside the existing allowlist test.
Repro: on a machine with a wedged 1Password desktop container + a valid SA
token, `op read` hangs 600s+ without the var and returns in ~4s with it — but
only if it actually reaches the op process, which this allowlist entry ensures.

_auth_fingerprint() built the 1Password secret cache-key from the
service-account token, OP_ACCOUNT, and OP_SESSION_* vars but omitted
OP_CONNECT_HOST/OP_CONNECT_TOKEN, which are in _OP_ENV_ALLOWLIST and are
forwarded to the op child (the Connect-server auth path). Rotating
OP_CONNECT_TOKEN or re-pointing OP_CONNECT_HOST at a different Connect
identity left the fingerprint unchanged, so both the in-process and disk
caches kept serving secrets resolved under the old Connect credentials for
the full TTL (default 300s, disk-persisted across invocations). This
contradicts the function's own docstring invariant that a value cached
under a previous identity is never served under a new one; it closes the
gap for the Connect path, matching the OP_SESSION_*/service-account paths
that are already protected.
The stale-fallback branch called _read_disk_cache(), a helper removed in
db495b0fba when disk-cache logic moved to the
shared DiskCache class — every fallback attempt raised NameError instead of
serving cached secrets, silently defeating the PR's whole purpose. Port to
_DISK_CACHE.read().
Also tighten the fallback per DiskCache's TTL contract and the secret-source
error taxonomy:
- Gate on cache_ttl_seconds > 0 so a caller that opted out of caching
entirely (ttl=0) never gets a secret value that didn't come from a live
fetch, even on the failure path.
- Gate on _classify_bws_error(str(exc)) being NETWORK or TIMEOUT, reusing
the existing classifier — an AUTH_FAILED or malformed-output failure must
still raise, since serving stale secrets there would mask a real
credential/config problem instead of a transient outage.
Ported the test helpers off the removed _write_disk_cache to a direct JSON
write (matching this file's existing disk-cache test convention) and added
tests for the auth-failure, malformed-output, and zero-TTL gates. Reverting
the fix and re-running confirms 7 of 8 stale-fallback tests fail with the
original NameError.
Without this, a single DNS hiccup or BWS outage at gateway startup leaves
the whole fleet running with an empty credential pool — every model call
fails until someone restarts after the network recovers. When a previous
successful fetch already populated the disk cache, return those secrets
with an explicit warning instead of raising RuntimeError.
`use_cache=False` (explicit opt-out) still raises so manual flows like
the setup wizard surface the original error. The disk cache is not
re-written on the fallback path so a process restart still triggers a
proper TTL re-check.
Fixes#41925
Assistant-role compaction summaries were treated as the last visible assistant reply after head protection decayed. That pulled the tail boundary back to the summary itself and left zero new turns to summarize.
Exclude internal context summaries from both the visible-reply search and the assistant fallback, mirroring the existing user-role summary exclusion.
* feat(cli): plan catalog on Free + plan= deep link + top-up/auto-refill copy split
Bring the plain (non-TUI) CLI billing surface to parity with the desktop/TUI
billing changes:
- /subscription on Free (admin/owner, interactive) prints the plan catalog
(name · $/mo · $credits/mo, from the same tiers[] data the TUI uses; monthly
credits render as dollars). A numbered pick opens the manage-subscription
deep-link directly with plan=<tier_id> appended.
- subscription_manage_url(state, tier_id=...) appends plan=<tier_id> (the stable
tiers[] id) when a tier was picked, org_id first — mirrors the TUI's ?plan=.
The paid change flow's blocked/unknown-preview portal fallback carries plan=
for upgrades only; downgrades stay generic/native.
- /topup overview splits one-time top-up from automatic refill, the distinction
stated in each first sentence ("Add funds now — a single charge…" vs "Refill
when low — charges … automatically …"), keeping "credits" out of the
dollars-only surface.
- Downgrades remain native (chargeless scheduled change), unchanged.
Updates the CLI-parity section of docs/billing-lifecycle.md and tests under
tests/hermes_cli + tests/agent.
* refactor(billing): share plan-catalog helpers + harden manage-url builder
- subscription_manage_url now preserves unrelated portal query params (parse_qsl,
popping only the contract-owned org_id/plan) and restricts to http/https schemes,
matching the desktop URL builder — the function owns the contract.
- Lift the plan-catalog derivation into agent/subscription_view.py so the CLI Free
catalog and the paid picker/blocked-preview branch share one implementation:
selectable_tiers (enabled paid, not current, sorted), format_tier_row (name · $/mo
· $credits/mo — thousands-grouped like the TUI's toLocaleString, credits suffix
hidden when absent/zero), and is_upgrade(state, tier_id).
* fix(cli): numbered pick, canonical guarded browser opener, partial auto-refill copy
- Free catalog: accept a bare digit as a pick (the shared normalizer only knows the
confirm-dialog digit aliases, so `1` used to resolve to None → "Cancelled"). The
Nth digit maps to the Nth printed row.
- Extract one _open_url_in_browser used by every "open the portal" path, applying the
device-code flows' console-browser / remote-session guard (webbrowser.open returns
True even for lynx/w3m over SSH) and returning whether a real browser opened.
- Consume the shared selectable_tiers / format_tier_row / is_upgrade helpers from the
Free catalog, the paid picker, and the blocked-preview branch.
- /topup auto-refill copy: the concrete "charges $X … below $Y." sentence only when
both amounts are present and finite; otherwise the generic sentence.
* docs(billing): correct CLI-parity rows (drop cross-repo ref, downgrade invariant)
Remove the other-repo PR reference from the manage-URL row, and state the real
downgrade invariant: a blocked downgrade may print the generic manage URL but never
carries plan=<tier_id> — selected-tier deep-links are reserved for new subscriptions
and upgrades.
subprocess.run(["git", ...], timeout=...) deadlocks on Windows: run()'s
post-timeout cleanup calls an unbounded communicate() after killing git.
Killing the PATH-resolved launcher can leave a suspended descendant git.exe
holding duplicates of the captured stdout/stderr handles, so the pipes never
reach EOF and the reader-thread join blocks forever — leaking a process +
two reader threads per fired timeout (the accumulating git.exe load behind
Windows Defender CPU spikes).
Two fail-open probe call sites had this identical flaw:
- tui_gateway/git_probe.py::run_git — on the Desktop agent-build path
(_start_agent_build -> _session_info -> branch() -> run_git), where the
hang turned an optional branch label into "agent initialization timed
out" (#68609).
- agent/coding_context.py::_git — hangs the agent turn inside
build_coding_workspace_block under an ACP host (#66037).
Consolidate both onto one shared bounded_git_probe() in
hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py (both files already import from there, so
no new import surface):
- explicit communicate(timeout), then on ANY failure a tree-kill —
proc.kill() AND, on Windows, best-effort taskkill /T /F so the suspended
descendant that holds the pipe writers dies too — plus a bounded 1s
post-kill drain; if the pipes are still held they're abandoned (the
orphaned reader threads are daemonic and cost nothing).
- fail open to "" on every path: spawn error, timeout, kill() raising
(access denied / already reaped — a raise inside the except handler
previously escaped the contract), and non-timeout communicate() failures
now also terminate the child instead of leaving it running.
- the taskkill spawn can't re-enter the deadlock class: it captures no
pipes (DEVNULL), so its own timeout cleanup has no reader threads to join.
Normal-path spawn contract is preserved byte-for-byte: PIPE/PIPE/DEVNULL,
text + utf-8 errors="replace", hidden-window creationflags on Windows only,
nonzero returncode -> "". Each call site keeps its own timeout (1.5s / 2.5s).
Supersedes #68622 (Sora-bluesky — git_probe fix + tree-kill) and #66038
(iamwongeeeee — coding_context fix), folding both into one shared helper so
the two sites can't drift and every timeout tree-kills the descendant. Tests
consolidated onto the helper, incl. the previously-missing assertion that a
Windows timeout escalates to taskkill /T /F.

Add an opt-in battery indicator to the CLI and TUI status bars, shown as
the first element and colour-coded by charge (green/yellow/orange/red, or
green while charging). Off by default and a no-op on machines without a
battery.
- agent/battery.py: shared psutil-backed reader with a short TTL cache,
category bucketing, and a compact 🔋/⚡ label. Fails open to
"unavailable" everywhere.
- CLI: /battery [on|off|status] toggle persisted to display.battery,
rendered first in every status-bar width tier.
- TUI: /battery slash command, config sync, a system.battery RPC polled
while enabled, and a pinned first segment in StatusRule.
* feat(secrets): one-command token rotation + actionable startup errors for all secret sources
When a Bitwarden machine-account token expired, users saw a raw Rust
error dump (invalid_client + Location: + backtrace hints) and the only
fix was manually editing .env or re-running the whole setup wizard.
- New `hermes secrets bitwarden token` / `hermes secrets onepassword
token`: paste a new token (masked prompt or flag), the command probes
the backend BEFORE persisting — a rejected token changes nothing; a
good one is written to .env and the fetch caches are cleared.
- New optional SecretSource.remediation(kind, cfg) hook: startup
warnings now print a '→ Run `hermes secrets <name> token`…' fix-it
line after any fetch error, for bundled AND plugin sources (generic
per-ErrorKind defaults in the ABC).
- bws stderr is summarized to its cause line (Location:/backtrace noise
dropped) and invalid_client/invalid_grant/400 identity rejects are
now classified AUTH_FAILED (was INTERNAL) with a plain-English
explanation naming the token env var.
- op whoami probe accepts a candidate token so rotation validates the
NEW credential, not the ambient one.
Additive hook with defaults — no SECRET_SOURCE_API_VERSION bump.
* docs: fix MDX parse error in secret-source-plugin hook table
Escaped backticks around a <name> placeholder made MDX parse it as an
unclosed JSX tag, breaking the docs-site build. Use a plain code span
instead.
The Codex backend returns the per-account model catalog only when the
ChatGPT-Account-Id header is present. Without it, GET /backend-api/codex/models
responds 200 OK with {"models":[]} and the picker silently degrades to the
hardcoded fallback list — which is stale or wrong for the active plan
(no GPT-5.6 family, wrong context windows).
This was the upstream bug behind slow first responses and HTTP 520/120s SSE
hangs: Hermes was sending invalid slugs because the probe never saw them in
the catalog, and Codex's request builder also depends on the same JWT claim
that's now being threaded through both probe paths.
Fixes the probe-side paths in hermes_cli/codex_models.py and
agent/model_metadata.py by extracting chatgpt_account_id from the OAuth JWT
(mirroring the request-side logic already in auxiliary_client.py) and sending
it as a header.
Verified live:
- _fetch_models_from_api now returns the 10-model catalog (gpt-5.6-sol,
gpt-5.6-terra, gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.5, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini,
gpt-5.3-codex-spark, 3x -pro variants) instead of [].
- _fetch_codex_oauth_context_lengths resolves all 8 account models to 272K
context (matches direct API probes of the same account).
- end-to-end: hermes chat -m gpt-5.6-sol -q 'Reply with one word: pong'
returns 'pong' cleanly via the openai-codex route.
Same class of bug as PR #64760.
The autoraise banner hardcoded '272K' for the gpt-5.4/5.5/5.6 family, but
the Codex /models catalog is authoritative and shifts server-side (gpt-5.6
served 372K during July 9-18, 2026 before OpenAI rolled it back). Pass the
compressor's live-resolved context_length through so the notice reports the
window the session actually got; the static 272K/128K text remains as the
fallback when no resolved value is available.
* fix(billing): rename user-facing "terminal billing" copy to Remote Spending
The capability was renamed Remote Spending on the portal (consent CTA:
"Allow Remote Spending"; per-terminal states Granted/Stopped), but the
terminal, desktop, and docs still said "terminal billing" everywhere.
- Feature name: Remote Spending in titles/labels, lowercase mid-sentence.
- Step-up action verb is now "allow", matching the portal consent CTA.
- Kill-switch-off recovery copy points at the actual control ("a billing
admin can turn it on from the portal's Hermes Agent page") instead of
the dead-end "manage it on the portal".
- Per-terminal revoke copy uses the portal vocabulary ("stopped").
- Wire identifiers (cli_billing_enabled, cli_billing_disabled, ...) are
unchanged; copy, comments, docs, and test expectations only.
* fix(billing): correct the post-step-up denial diagnosis + finish the desktop rename
Adversarial review findings: (1) a repeated insufficient_scope after a
successful step-up is a per-terminal authorization failure, but the copy
blamed the org kill-switch and pointed at the wrong recovery control —
now: "Remote Spending still isn't active for this terminal — the
authorization didn't take. Retry, or make this change on the portal."
(2) the desktop step-up flow started in Remote Spending vocabulary but
finished in "billing management access" — renamed both end states.
(3) prettier formatting on the touched files (matches the post-merge
fmt bot).
Fix#68178
The git-install auto-updater rewrites source while the desktop backend
is live. Because agent/conversation_loop.py is imported lazily on the
first API call, a process can end up running two different commits
spliced together — one commit's AIAgent against another commit's
conversation_loop. When the interface differs, every turn fails
permanently with an AttributeError, and the loop retries indefinitely,
burning provider API calls (576 failures, 149 wasted API calls observed).
Three-prong fix:
1. Circuit-break AttributeError on agent objects: the outer-loop error
classifier now detects AttributeError targeting agent/run_agent
modules and breaks immediately instead of continuing the retry loop.
2. Code skew detection for desktop/serve backend: run_agent.py now
snapshots the checkout revision at import time and exposes a cheap
per-iteration check that the conversation loop uses to refuse new
work with a clear 'restart required' message before the lazy import
can crash.
3. Informative error message: when code skew is detected, the user
gets a clear explanation of the mismatch (boot revision vs current
revision) and actionable guidance to restart the application.
