grok-4.5 is xAI's newest release (their versioning is non-monotonic:
4.5 > 4.20) and is the model xAI's own docs use for the server-side
x_search tool. Users who explicitly pinned x_search.model keep their
choice; everyone else picks up the new default via the config
deep-merge — no _config_version bump needed.
- tools/x_search_tool.py: DEFAULT_X_SEARCH_MODEL
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG x_search.model + comment
- agent/reasoning_timeouts.py: 300s stale-timeout floor entry for
grok-4.5 (grok-4.20-reasoning entry kept for pinned users)
- docs: x-search.md en + zh-Hans (config sample + troubleshooting)
- tests: default-model assertion + timeout-floor positive case
* feat(delegation): live-viewable subagent transcripts for delegate_task
Each child now streams an append-only, human-readable log to
<hermes_home>/cache/delegation/live/<delegation_id>/task-<n>.log while it
runs, and the dispatch return includes the paths so the caller can tail
them immediately instead of waiting blind for the consolidated summary.
- New tools/delegation_live_log.py: LiveTranscriptWriter (per-event append
+ flush, one-line rendering with truncation, never raises into the agent
loop), wrap_progress_callback (tees the child's existing
tool_progress_callback events into the log, preserves the _flush
contract), dispatch-time creation with pre-headered files so tail -f
attaches immediately, manifest.json (goals/task count/per-task status),
and 7-day retention pruning on new dispatches.
- delegate_task: wraps each child's progress callback with the writer;
sync results and background dispatch responses gain live_transcripts
(+ hint field on dispatch); per-task result entries carry
live_transcript; transcripts finalized with exit-reason markers.
- async_delegation: dispatch_async_delegation_batch accepts an optional
delegation_id so the live/ dir name matches the returned handle; the
completion event carries live_transcripts.
- process_registry: consolidated batch-completion block references each
task's live transcript path.
- Tool schema description documents the live_transcripts return surface;
docs gain a 'Live Transcripts' section with a tail -f example.
Placement under cache/delegation means the logs are mounted read-only
into remote terminal backends for free. Side-channel only: zero changes
to message content, so prompt caching is unaffected. Transcript-OUT only
— no overlap with the subagent control surfaces of PR #66046.
* fix(delegation): label the kickoff transcript line as user — it is the child's one user message
The salvaged unit tests hand-construct completed futures to lock the
_run_on_mcp_loop contract. Add a live-loop test that reproduces the actual
field trigger: an inner asyncio.wait_for expiry stores a real TimeoutError
on a real future scheduled on the MCP loop. Asserts the fixed loop surfaces
it once, promptly -- not spinning to the outer deadline (which both leaked
memory and masked the real error behind the generic wrapper message).
Bug 1 of #55048: when the MCP connection dropped (driver crash / restart),
_lifecycle_coro exited but left _started=True, so the next list_apps/capture
passed _require_started() and then operated on a None session — hanging
forever instead of reconnecting.
- _lifecycle_coro's finally now resets _started=False on ANY exit, so a dead
session is re-enterable (idempotent no-op on the normal stop() path; atomic
bool write, safe from the bridge-loop thread without the lock stop() holds).
- call_tool() re-enters start() when the session isn't active, rebuilding it
before the call. The start_session/end_session handshake (driven by start()/
stop() themselves) is exempted so bootstrap doesn't recurse.
Tests: two cases in test_computer_use_delivery_ladder.py — finally resets
_started, and call_tool restarts a dead session exactly once. Full
computer_use suite green (233).
Refs #55048 (Bug 1). Bug 2 (expose foreground dispatch) is covered by the
delivery_mode work in #67123.
Hermes' computer_use wrapper dropped cua-driver's structured action verdicts,
exposed no delivery_mode, and injected background-only guidance — so the agent
reported unverified no-ops as success and concluded cua-driver 'cannot drive'
Electron/Chromium surfaces (observed live on tldraw offline). Fixes#67052.
Phase A — preserve the result contract:
- ActionResult carries verified/effect/escalation/path/degraded/code/delivery_mode
- CuaDriverBackend._action() reads structuredContent (was data-only); a helper
normalizes it, additive and None-safe on old drivers
- _text_response surfaces the fields additively (ok stays transport-only)
Phase B — bounded, model-reachable foreground:
- delivery_mode (background|foreground) + bring_to_front on the schema, dispatcher,
ABC, and all input methods
- foreground is capability-gated (input.delivery_mode); old drivers get a
structured foreground_unsupported refusal, never a silent background downgrade
- no automatic/hidden foreground retry — the model selects it from the signal
Phase C — guidance + isolation:
- system prompt (prompt_builder) and bundled skills/computer-use/SKILL.md go from
background-ONLY to background-FIRST, teaching the AX→PX→foreground ladder driven
by returned effect/escalation, not predicted from the app being Electron
- foreground approval scoped by (action, delivery_mode): a background approval
never silently authorizes foreground
- approval state keyed per session_id so concurrent gateway runs don't leak unlocks
Tests: tests/tools/test_computer_use_delivery_ladder.py (15) cover confirmed/
unverifiable/suspected_noop/degraded/old-driver verdicts, delivery_mode gating +
foreground_unsupported, and session-scoped foreground approval. Existing 265
computer_use tests still green.
Live E2E (real cua-driver 0.8.3 + tldraw offline on Linux/X11): a background click
returned effect='unverifiable'/path='ax' (no fabricated success), and a foreground
request returned code='foreground_unsupported' — correct on a driver that predates
the input.delivery_mode capability.
Adds two tests for the _background_review_write_guard manual-skill check:
- refuses delete on a skill with created_by=None (manually authored)
- allows delete on a skill with created_by='agent' (agent-created)
Use the direct POSIX parent relationship instead of process creation time and pid_exists checks. Remove the dead create-time argument chain while preserving process-group cleanup and signal forwarding.\n\nRefs #62505
A leaf subagent is meant to be denied delegate_task, execute_code, memory,
clarify, cronjob, and send_message. _strip_blocked_tools() only drops a
toolset when EVERY tool in it is blocked, so mixed platform bundles
(hermes-cli, hermes-telegram, and every other gateway bundle) survived
stripping and re-exposed the blocked tools after composite expansion. A
leaf child spawned from any gateway platform could recursively delegate,
run code, and write memory.
Pass exact one-tool deny toolsets into the child's disabled_toolsets so
model_tools subtracts the blocked names AFTER composite expansion, and the
restriction survives later registry/MCP refreshes. Orchestrators regain
only delegate_task.

* feat(attribution): conflict-free contributor mappings via contributors/emails/ directory
The AUTHOR_MAP dict in scripts/release.py was a merge-conflict magnet:
every concurrent salvage PR appended entries to the same lines of the
same file, so parallel PRs re-conflicted on every merge to main.
New system: one file per email under contributors/emails/ — filename is
the commit-author email, first non-comment line is the GitHub login.
File additions never conflict, so any number of PRs can add mappings
concurrently.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP is now LEGACY_AUTHOR_MAP (frozen)
merged with the directory at import time (directory wins). All
existing consumers (resolve_author, contributor_audit.py) unchanged.
- scripts/add_contributor.py: idempotent CLI to add a mapping; refuses
conflicting reassignments (incl. against the legacy map), validates
email/login shapes.
- contributor-check.yml: attribution gate now accepts a mapping file OR
a legacy entry; failure message prints the exact add_contributor
command. Also auto-resolves bare <login>@users.noreply.github.com
emails is intentionally NOT added (kept id+login form only, matching
previous behavior).
- contributor_audit.py: guidance now points at add_contributor.py.
- tests/scripts/test_contributor_map.py: 12 tests covering loader,
merge precedence, CLI idempotency/conflict/validation, subprocess E2E.
* feat(ci): one-shot per-file flake retry in the parallel test runner
A failing test FILE is re-run once in a fresh subprocess. Pass-on-retry
counts as green but is loudly reported in a '⚠ FLAKY' summary section
(with both attempts' output preserved) so the flake gets fixed instead
of eating a full-run rerun. Deterministic failures fail both attempts —
regressions cannot be laundered green.
- --file-retries N / HERMES_TEST_FILE_RETRIES (default 1, 0 disables)
- E2E verified: simulated first-run-fail flake goes green with banner;
deterministic failure still exits 1; retries=0 restores old behavior.
This converts the dominant CI failure mode (one timing-sensitive test
flaking a 4600-test shard, requiring a manual 10-minute rerun and an
agent triage loop) into a self-healing retry that costs one file's
runtime.
* test(approval): loosen wall-clock perf bounds 0.15s -> 2.0s
These guard against catastrophic regex backtracking (seconds-to-minutes
class), but 0.15s is within scheduler-stall noise on loaded shared CI
runners — test_max_accepted_separator_free_input_is_fast failed a CI
shard this week on runner load alone. 2.0s still catches the regression
class with zero flake surface.
* fix(ci): job timeouts everywhere + retries on all network installs
Reliability pass over every workflow:
- timeout-minutes on all 21 jobs that lacked one (a hung job previously
burned the 6-hour default runner budget)
- ./.github/actions/retry wrapped around every network-fetching install
that lacked it: pip installs (deploy-site, skills-index), npm ci
(deploy-site website, upload_to_pypi web + ui-tui), uv sync (docker
test deps). Deterministic build steps (npm run build) deliberately
NOT retried — split into separate steps so a real build failure fails
fast instead of retrying 3x.
* docs(agents): document the file-retry flake policy
* fix(ci): curl retries on deploy hook + skills-index probe
* fix(ci): kill the remaining transient-failure classes in workflows + Dockerfile
From the workflow reliability audit:
- tests.yml: duration-cache restore had NO restore-keys while saves use
run_id-suffixed keys — the cache never matched once, so LPT slicing
always ran blind and unbalanced slices pushed heavy files toward the
per-file timeout. One-line restore-keys fixes slice balancing.
- Label gates (lint ci-reviewed, supply-chain mcp-catalog-reviewed):
'gh pr view || true' turned an API blip into 'label absent' → false
BLOCKING failure. Now 3x retry, and API failure is reported as an API
failure instead of a missing label.
- detect-changes action: compare API retried before failing open (was
silently running all lanes on any blip).
- uv-lockfile-check: 'uv lock --check' resolves against PyPI — retried
so registry blips don't read as 'lockfile stale'.
- docker.yml merge job: imagetools create retried (Docker Hub eventual
consistency on just-pushed digests).
- Dockerfile: apt-get Acquire::Retries=3; s6-overlay ADDs converted to
curl --retry 3 (ADD cannot retry; checksums still enforced); npm
--fetch-retries=5; playwright chromium fetch retried 3x.
- Advisory artifact uploads (per-slice durations, ci-timings report)
get continue-on-error so an artifact-service blip can't fail a green
test slice.
* fix(tests): kill the two root-cause flakes — leaking pre-warm timer + env-dependent provider list
- test_tui_gateway_server.py: session.create / non-eager session.resume
arm a 50ms threading.Timer (_schedule_agent_build) that outlives its
test and fires into the NEXT test's _make_agent mock, racily
corrupting captured state (the recurring session_resume shard
failures). Replaced the per-test whack-a-mole stub with a module-wide
autouse fixture; the 3 worker-lifecycle tests that genuinely need the
deferred build opt back in via @pytest.mark.real_agent_prewarm (new
marker in pyproject).
- test_api_key_providers.py: PROVIDER_ENV_VARS is now derived from the
live PROVIDER_REGISTRY instead of a hand-list that had drifted
(missing HF_TOKEN / DEEPINFRA_API_KEY) — resolve_provider('auto')
tests failed on any machine with HF_TOKEN exported. E2E-verified with
HF_TOKEN/DEEPINFRA_API_KEY set: 42/42 pass.
* test: de-flake 30 timing-sensitive test files for loaded CI runners
Root-cause fixes from the flake audit (session-DB mining + repo sweep):
Event-based sync instead of sleep-sync:
- title_generator: mock sets threading.Event, wait(10) replaces
sleep(0.3) hoping the daemon thread got scheduled
- docker zombie_reaping / profile_gateway: poll-for-state helpers
replace fixed 1-3s sleeps (s6 transitions + SIGCHLD reaping are async)
- process_registry tree test: select()-bounded readline replaces an
unbounded blocking read (parent wedge now fails THIS test with a clear
message instead of an opaque rc=124 file kill); SIGTERM grace 1s->2s
(the 1s partition window mid-interpreter-startup is how a child PID
escaped the live-system guard in CI)
Timeout raises (loaded 8-way-sliced runners see ~5s scheduling floors;
all of these complete in ms-to-1s when healthy so the raises cost
nothing on green runs):
- subprocess/thread waits <= 2s raised to 10-15s across mcp_tool,
mcp_circuit_breaker, mcp_reconnect_retry_reset, mcp_parked_self_probe,
mcp_cancelled_error_propagation, registry, clarify_gateway, interrupt,
voice_cli_integration, docker_environment, session_store_lock_io,
planned_stop_watcher, cli_interrupt_subagent, thread_scoped_output
(joins now also assert not is_alive() so stragglers fail loudly)
- wall-clock discrimination ceilings loosened where the guarded hang is
10x larger: local_background_child_hang 4s->10s, interrupt_cleanup
setup 5s->20s + pgid-exit 30s->60s, mcp_stability grandchild spinup
5s->15s, protocol/gil-starvation fast-handler 0.5s->2s,
iso_certify_seam 1.5s->5s, wait_for_mcp_discovery 0.1s->1s
- narrow assertion windows widened: honcho first-turn wait 0.4..0.65 ->
0.25..2.0 (property is bounded-not-hung, not an exact wall-clock);
compression fork-lock TTL 1s->3s (12 refresh chances per lease);
compression-lock expiry margins symmetric (ttl 0.05->0.5, sleep 1.0)
- telegram hung-DNS bound 1.0->1.4 (fake hang is 1.5s — must stay under)
* fix(tests): repair indentation from de-flake batch edit
* fix(tests): harden env isolation and replace remaining sleep-sync races
The full 42k-test run and complete npm check surfaced three more classes:
- Environment isolation: local ~/.honcho defaultHost and SSH_* variables
leaked into Python/TUI tests. Pin the default Honcho host in the
hermetic fixture, isolate the one fallback test from ~/.honcho, and
blank SSH_* around terminalSetup tests. This flipped 20 false failures
back to deterministic behavior on developer machines.
- Background-thread sleep-sync: Honcho async writer tests patched
time.sleep globally, then busy-polled with that same mocked sleep. Under
full-suite load the poller could starve the writer. Each test now waits
on an Event emitted by the exact flush/retry transition; 30/30 passed
under 15-way contention.
- Desktop streaming: the test slept 80ms and assumed a 500ms timer could
not fire before its assertion. A loaded runner descheduled the test for
>500ms and both chunks arrived. Producer controls now gate second-chunk
and completion transitions explicitly.
Also make file-retry observability complete: a self-healed flaky file now
prints BOTH attempts' full output in the FLAKY summary. Two behavioral
runner tests prove pass-on-retry is green+loud+traceback-preserving, while
a deterministic failure remains red.
* refactor(ci): use gh bot pat, better retries
refactor(ci): use retry action for PR label fetch
the retry action now captures stdout as a step output, so it can serve
double duty: retry + output capture for commands like 'gh pr view' whose
result must be consumed by later steps.
Retry action gains:
- 'stdout' output (heredoc-delimited to preserve newlines)
- tee to temp file so stdout still streams to the job log
- step id 'retry' for output reference
Both lint.yml and supply-chain-audit.yml now use the retry action
directly with 'command: gh pr view ...' and read
steps.<id>.outputs.stdout.
ci: use AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT for all gh CLI / GitHub API auth
Replace secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN and github.token with
secrets.AUTOFIX_BOT_PAT across all workflows and composite actions
that use the gh CLI or GitHub API. The PAT has consistent permissions
across fork PRs (where GITHUB_TOKEN is read-only), avoids API rate
limit sharing with the default token, and is already used by
js-autofix.yml for the same reasons.

A root-launched CLI session can leak /root into the terminal cwd state a
non-root gateway/cron process later resolves (#65583). os.path.isdir('/root')
is True for a non-root user — stat only needs search permission on / — so
_resolve_safe_cwd returned it and subprocess.Popen(cwd='/root') died with
PermissionError: [Errno 13], failing EVERY cron job's terminal/file/search
tool on every command until restart.
_resolve_safe_cwd now requires X_OK (new _cwd_usable helper) and climbs to
the nearest enterable ancestor, logging a WARNING that names the leak class
when an existing-but-denied cwd is skipped. Missing-cwd recovery (#17558)
behavior unchanged.
E2E-verified: LocalEnvironment constructed with an unenterable cwd now runs
commands from the fallback directory instead of raising.
test_build_child_agent_ignores_acp_command_when_binary_missing patches
shutil.which globally and asserted the LAST call was which("copilot").
That is order-dependent: an unrelated which("uv") reached later in the same
process (which happens under some CI test-slice orderings) becomes the last
call, so assert_called_with("copilot") fails even though the copilot binary
was probed exactly as intended. Switch to assert_any_call("copilot"), which
verifies the actual intent and is robust to unrelated which() calls. The
behavioural assertions (provider, acp_command, acp_args) are unchanged.
Port from anomalyco/opencode#35439/#35500: preserve full MCP catalogs
across paginated tools/list responses.
The MCP spec allows servers to paginate tools/list, resources/list, and
prompts/list via an opaque nextCursor token. The Python SDK's
ClientSession.list_* methods fetch exactly one page per call, and hermes
never passed the cursor back — on a paginated server every tool,
resource, and prompt past page 1 was silently invisible to the agent.
Adds _paginate_full_list() (cursor-draining helper with a 50-page
runaway cap and spec-correct opaque-string cursor validation) and
applies it at all three discovery sites: _discover_tools(), the
tools/list_changed refresh handler, and the list_resources/list_prompts
utility handlers. The keepalive probe intentionally keeps its
single-page call (liveness only).
E2E: real stdio MCP server serving 3 pages (2/1/1 tools) — old code
discovered 2 tools, new code discovers all 4.
Port from openai/codex#31494: user-visible history replay must strip CSI
sequences and control characters. Stored conversation history can carry
raw terminal escapes (pasted content, gateway-origin text, model output
echoing injected tool results). Replaying it via /resume's recap panel or
build_recap (/status on CLI + gateway) wrote those bytes straight to the
terminal — an injected message could clear the screen, retitle the window,
move the cursor, or restyle the recap UI. Rich's Text() does not neutralize
raw escape bytes.
- tools/ansi_strip.py: add sanitize_display_text() — strip_ansi() plus
bare C0/C1 control removal, preserving \n and \t, normalizing \r to \n
(adapted to Python from Codex's sanitize_user_text; reuses the existing
ECMA-48 stripper instead of transcribing their char-walk)
- hermes_cli/cli_agent_setup_mixin.py: sanitize user + assistant text in
_display_resumed_history() before building the Rich recap panel
- hermes_cli/session_recap.py: sanitize preview lines in build_recap()
(_truncate choke point) so /status recaps are clean on every platform
- tests: 10 new sanitize_display_text cases (incl. the exact codex#31494
fixture), recap + resume-display leak assertions
A UTF-8 BOM saved into a SKILL.md (e.g. Notepad or PowerShell `>`) is kept by
read_text(encoding="utf-8"), so the string handed to parse_frontmatter starts
with the BOM and the startswith("---") fence check fails. The whole frontmatter
is then silently dropped: the skill loads with no name/description, `platforms`
gating falls open (a macOS-only skill becomes visible everywhere), and
required_environment_variables / metadata.hermes.config setup never fires.
Strip a single leading BOM at the top of parse_frontmatter, the shared
chokepoint for every local skill-loading path (_parse_skill_file,
discover_all_skill_config_vars, DESCRIPTION.md parsing, _inject_skill_config,
and the tools/skills_tool._parse_frontmatter re-export), so the whole class is
covered, not just the reported site. Only the leading marker is removed; a BOM
mid-content is left as data. Mirrors the existing file-tools BOM handling
(#35278) and CONTRIBUTING.md "File encoding".
Adds tests: BOM'd frontmatter parses identically to plain, the body is
BOM-free, platforms gating and config-var extraction survive a BOM, and an
end-to-end BOM-write / plain-read round trip (mirroring _parse_skill_file).
* feat(browser): store full snapshots on truncation; make eval denylist opt-in
Two harness fixes motivated by BU_Bench results where fixed-verb + lossy
observation cost Hermes heavily vs code-driven browser agents:
1. Snapshot truncation no longer loses content. When a snapshot exceeds
the 8000-char threshold, the complete accessibility tree is saved to
cache/web (same truncate-and-store pattern as web_extract) and the
truncated view / LLM summary includes the file path plus a ready-made
read_file call. Element refs beyond the cut are recoverable without
re-snapshotting. Stored copies are force-redacted and capped at 2MB;
content-hash filenames dedupe repeated snapshots of the same page.
2. The browser_console(expression=...) sensitive-primitive denylist is
now opt-in via browser.restrict_evaluate (default false). The
names-based denylist blocked legitimate DOM extraction — any selector
or expression containing 'fetch', 'cookie', 'input', etc. — which
crippled the agent's only programmatic page-inspection path. The
SSRF/private-URL egress guards in _browser_eval are independent of
this policy and remain always-on. browser.allow_unsafe_evaluate keeps
its meaning (bypass the denylist) for configs that already set it.
* test: update None-guard test for stored-snapshot pointer in _extract_relevant_content
test_normal_content_returned pinned the exact return value; the summary
now carries a pointer to the stored full snapshot. Assert the summary
passes through and the pointer is present instead.
* feat(browser): align snapshot threshold with web_extract's 15k char budget
SNAPSHOT_SUMMARIZE_THRESHOLD 8000 -> 15000, matching
web_tools.DEFAULT_EXTRACT_CHAR_LIMIT so the snapshot and web_extract
truncate-and-store paths give the model the same per-page budget.
_truncate_snapshot's default max_chars now follows the constant.
Invariant test added; docs (en+zh) and CLI tip updated.
Keep each xAI OAuth auth-add login as an independent manual device-code pool entry and recognize xAI personal-team spending-limit 403 responses as billing exhaustion. Preserve the structured top-level error message so the failed credential is quarantined and the next healthy account is selected without attempting a pointless token refresh.
Route direct xAI HTTP consumers through the credential pool as well. Proactive and 401-reactive refreshes update the exact issuing manual entry, preserve validated xAI base URL overrides, and serialize single-use refresh-token rotation across concurrent pool instances.
terminal_tool reads all settings from TERMINAL_* env vars, bridged from
config.yaml by the CLI, gateway, and TUI-PTY launchers. Processes that
skip every launcher bridge — hermes serve / the Desktop app backend's
in-process agents, the desktop cron ticker — saw an unset TERMINAL_ENV
and silently ran every command on the host even when config.yaml selects
terminal.backend: docker. A user who configured Docker isolation got
unsandboxed host execution with no warning.
Two layers:
- _ensure_terminal_env_bridged() in _get_env_config(): when TERMINAL_ENV
is unset, backfill TERMINAL_* from config.yaml via
apply_terminal_config_to_env(override=False). Explicit env always wins
(honor explicit choice; only fix the accidental fallback). One-shot,
fail-open to the historical local default.
- cmd_dashboard/serve: run the same bridge at startup so every consumer
in the backend process (in-process agents, desktop cron ticker,
tui_gateway cwd resolution) sees the bridged env directly.
Fixes#63141, #54449, #61115, #65696.
_download_url_with_cap called urlopen() after only a scheme check, so a
model-controlled URL could reach loopback services, RFC1918/CGNAT hosts,
or cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), and a public host could
302 to any of those unvalidated.
Route the fetch through the repo's canonical SSRF guard instead:
validate every hop with tools.url_safety.is_safe_url() and follow
redirects manually (httpx, follow_redirects=False, 5-hop limit) so each
Location target is re-checked before it is fetched — the same pattern
as tools/skills_hub._guarded_http_get. The streaming size cap is
unchanged. Local-fixture tests opt in via HERMES_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS
(the guard's documented escape hatch); new tests pin rejection of
loopback, cloud-metadata, and private-range URLs, a mocked
public→loopback redirect, and a mocked public happy path.
The salvaged attachment-toolset commit predated main centralizing the
25 MB cap as kanban_db.KANBAN_ATTACHMENT_MAX_BYTES and re-introduced a
private _MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES alias. Drop the duplicate: kanban_db's
store_attachment_bytes(), the dashboard upload endpoint, and the
kanban_attach_url tool all reference the one shared constant now, and
the tests monkeypatch that same name.
The kanban board has had full attachment storage and a dashboard HTTP
API (upload/list/download/delete) since #35338, but there was no agent
toolset tool and no `hermes kanban` CLI verb for attachments. Agents and
scripts that don't go through the dashboard server (or can't touch the DB
directly) had no way to create or read real attachments — only links in
comments.
Close that gap by mirroring the existing comment surface:
- `kanban_db.store_attachment_bytes()` — one shared write path (validate
name, enforce the 25 MB cap, write the blob under the per-task dir with
collision-free naming, insert the metadata row, clean up an orphan blob
if the insert fails). `_MAX_ATTACHMENT_BYTES`, `_safe_attachment_name`,
and a new `_collision_free_path` move here so the dashboard, the tool,
and the CLI all share one implementation and can't drift.
- Tools (`tools/kanban_tools.py`): `kanban_attach` (inline base64),
`kanban_attach_url` (server-side http/https fetch with the same cap),
`kanban_attachments` (list). Write tools respect worker task-ownership;
list is read-only. Registered in the `kanban` toolset.
- CLI (`hermes_cli/kanban.py`): `attach <id> <path>`, `attachments <id>`,
`attach-rm <attachment_id>`.
- Dashboard `upload_task_attachment` now imports the shared helpers and
uses `_collision_free_path` — behavior identical (still streams to disk
with the cap, still 413 on overflow).
- Docs (AGENTS.md, kanban-worker skill) and toolset membership updated.
Tests: tool round-trip + oversize + bad base64 + ownership; attach_url
against a local HTTP fixture incl. oversize-mid-stream and non-http
scheme rejection; CLI attach/attachments/attach-rm; shared-helper unit
tests; dashboard parity preserved.

_wait_for_callback still read the legacy module-level _oauth_port, so
with two concurrent OAuth flows, flow A's callback wait bound flow B's
port while A's redirect URI pointed at A's port — the callback-side
half of the cross-flow collision that #65622 fixed on the redirect
side. _make_callback_waiter(port) closes over each flow's resolved
port; both provider construction sites (build_oauth_auth and
MCPOAuthManager._build_provider) now wire per-flow waiters. The legacy
_wait_for_callback delegates for backwards compatibility.
Direction credit to @LeonSGP43 (#34280) and the #34260 analysis.
_wait_for_callback catches OSError on bind with a comment claiming the port is
held by a server build_oauth_auth started, and promising to fall back to polling
it. build_oauth_auth never starts a callback server (this is the only listener),
so there is nothing to poll: the branch just raised a misleading "OAuth callback
timed out" when the real cause is a busy port (a concurrent login, a leftover
listener, or a fixed oauth.redirect_port that collided).
Fix the stale comment and raise an accurate, actionable message (names the port,
suggests freeing it or setting a free oauth.redirect_port), chained from the
original OSError. Behavior is otherwise unchanged. Adds a regression test.

- redirect_host tests: localhost swap, precedence of full redirect_uri,
empty-value fallback, client-metadata propagation
- The salvaged redirect-uri hint tests predate the #57836
OAuthNonInteractiveError guard; monkeypatch _is_interactive like the
sibling tests in TestRedirectHandlerSshHint
The PR added a configurable `redirect_uri` (proxy/Funnel callbacks) but
shipped without tests, and the loopback SSH-tunnel hint stayed hardcoded —
actively misleading the exact proxy user the feature targets.
- Extract `_resolve_redirect_uri(cfg, port)` so the client-metadata and
pre-registration paths derive an identical callback (a mismatch makes the
authorization server reject the redirect).
- Make `_redirect_handler` redirect_uri-aware: a configured proxy callback
reaches this machine on its own, so it no longer prints the `ssh -N -L`
loopback guidance. Wired via `functools.partial` — no new global state.
- Document `redirect_uri` in the config block.
- 14 new tests (red/green TDD): helper resolution + empty-string fallback,
metadata + pre-registration for configured/default, AnyUrl normalization,
no-client_id skip, client_secret combo, and both SSH-hint branches.

_find_free_port() closed its probe socket before HTTPServer re-bound
the port minutes later, leaving a window where another process could
steal it (#22161 by @amathxbt). _reserve_callback_port() now keeps the
selected socket bound (bounded FIFO pool) until _wait_for_callback
adopts it via bind_and_activate=False. Also sets allow_reuse_address
BEFORE binding — the cherry-picked #44872 set it after the constructor
had already bound, where it is a no-op.
Also updates the three #57836 non-interactive-guard tests to the
closure-factory API from #44872.
Two related OAuth fixes:
1. Replace module-level _redirect_handler with _make_redirect_handler()
closure factory that closes over the resolved port. This prevents
cross-server state pollution when multiple MCP servers run OAuth
concurrently (#44588).
2. Set server.allow_reuse_address = True on the ephemeral callback
HTTPServer so the socket doesn't stay in TIME_WAIT after the flow
completes. This prevents 'Address already in use' errors on the
next OAuth flow for the same port (#44590).

Follow-up for salvaged PRs #56055 + #56803, adapted to the per-session
cwd record store (PR #65213): the record (live cd state) is rung 1,
the registered session.cwd.set override rung 2, TERMINAL_CWD rung 3 —
the same ladder file tools and the terminal resolve against. Covers
record-over-override, record-only, and stale-record fall-through.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #63255: with LocalEnvironment._update_cwd
delegating to the stdout marker parser, the cwd temp file has zero
readers left. Drop the 'pwd -P > file' writes from the bootstrap and
_wrap_command so every command stops paying a pointless file write
(and stops littering temp dirs with hermes-cwd-*.txt).
The per-session record store is now the ONLY cwd mechanism. Deleted:
- env.cwd_owner stamping + prev_owner threading (terminal_tool): the
shared env no longer carries ownership metadata at all
- _resolve_command_cwd's env/prev_owner params: resolution is
workdir > session record > config/override default
- file_tools._live_cwd_if_owned + _get_live_tracking_cwd: path
resolution never consults the shared env's live cwd
- file_tools._last_known_cwd + _remember_last_known_cwd +
_last_known_cwd_for: the #26211 preserved-anchor registry is
subsumed by the session record, which never lived on the env and
therefore cannot be lost to env cleanup. The _get_file_ops
stale-cache rescue now writes the record instead.
- env recreation (both _get_file_ops and terminal_tool) seeds the
fresh env from override > session record > config
Why no transition fallback: the legacy state was process-local and
in-memory exactly like the record store — after a restart both start
empty, and within a running process every legacy write site has been
dual-writing the record since step 1. There is no populated-legacy/
empty-record state to fall back for.
Tests updated to drive the record store instead of the deleted
mechanism; the cross-session isolation suite now asserts the same
behavior contracts (no leak, cd isolation, #26211 persistence)
against the new architecture, plus a new "session C inherits nothing"
case that the old ownership guard could not express.
Third step of the cwd rearchitecture: _resolve_command_cwd now prefers
the session's own cwd record over the shared env's live cwd.
New resolution order: workdir > session record > legacy env.cwd
(ownership-gated, transition-only) > config/override default.
The record is written after every completed command for the session, so
it IS the session's cd state — another session's cd lands in another
record and cannot affect this session's commands. The legacy env.cwd
branch only fires for a session with no record yet (no command has
completed since this code loaded); it keeps the prev_owner ownership
guard for that transition window and is deleted in step 4 along with
env.cwd_owner stamping and file_tools' _last_known_cwd machinery.
Adds command-path regression tests including the terminal sibling of
the leak-A scenario (unowned shared env cwd vs session record) and an
E2E cd round-trip through terminal_tool.
