Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#11240. Their issue #11227 lost a user's entire
working directory: a built-in-skill sentinel location resolved to the server
cwd and the skill-removal endpoint ran a recursive delete on it.
Hermes' /skills uninstall path (skills_hub.py) is already hardened, but the
agent-facing skill_manage(action='delete') path did a bare
shutil.rmtree(skill_dir) with no last-line validation. Add _validate_delete_target():
refuse to rmtree a path that (1) isn't strictly inside a known skills root,
(2) is a skills root itself, or (3) is reached via a symlink/junction.
Tests: 4 cases (normal delete works; symlinked dir, skills-root, out-of-tree
all refused). E2E verified with real symlink + file I/O.
* feat(delegation): async background subagents via delegate_task(background=true)
delegate_task(background=true) dispatches a subagent that runs in the
background and returns a handle immediately, so the user and model keep
working while it runs. The full result — plus the original task source —
re-enters the conversation as a new turn when the subagent finishes,
riding the same completion-queue rail as terminal background processes.
- tools/async_delegation.py: daemon-executor registry, capacity cap,
rich self-contained completion event pushed onto the shared
process_registry.completion_queue (type='async_delegation').
- delegate_tool.py: background param + single-task dispatch branch;
batch async rejected (v1).
- process_registry.py: format_process_notification renders the rich
task-source block (goal/context/toolsets/model/status/result).
- gateway/run.py: dedicated _async_delegation_watcher drains + injects
results into the originating session (idle + post-turn), session_key
routing enrichment, shutdown interrupt of dangling delegations.
- config: delegation.max_async_children (default 3).
Reuses the existing idle-drain wiring rather than mutating a running
agent loop, preserving message-role alternation and prompt-cache
invariants. 13 targeted tests; CLI + gateway paths E2E-verified.
* test(delegation): make async non-blocking tests environment-independent
CI 'test (5)' flaked on a cold, 8-worker runner: the first
delegate_task(background=true) call measured 2.27s of one-time setup
(config load + child-agent construction + imports), tripping the
elapsed < 1.0 wall-clock assertion. That assertion was testing setup
overhead, not blocking.
Replace the wall-clock thresholds with the real invariant: dispatch
returns while the child is still gated (active_count == 1, completion
queue empty), which a synchronous impl could not do. Keep only a loose
4s sanity backstop well under the runner's 5s gate.
* fix(delegation): harden async background delegation
Follow-up review fixes:
- Detach background child from parent._active_children at dispatch —
otherwise parent-turn interrupts (Ctrl+C, mid-turn steering), cache
evicts (release_clients), and session close (/new) kill/close the
detached subagent mid-run, defeating the point of background mode.
Lifecycle is owned by the async registry's interrupt_fn.
- Make the capacity check atomic with the record insert (TOCTOU: two
concurrent dispatches could both pass active_count() and exceed the cap).
- TUI dedup: key async_delegation events by delegation_id — the
fallthrough keyed them all as ("", type), suppressing every completion
after the first in the desktop/TUI status feed.
- CLI /stop now interrupts running background delegations and /agents
lists them (they live outside the process registry and were invisible).
- Drop stray unbalanced ']' line from the re-injection block and the
unused _ASYNC_DEFAULT import.
Tests: detach-at-dispatch + concurrent-capacity race added (15 total in
test_async_delegation.py); 137 delegate + 140 process-registry/notify/watch
+ 7 TUI dedup tests pass.
* fix(delegation): harden async background completion drains
* fix(teams): package Microsoft Teams SDK as an installable extra
The Teams adapter imports the microsoft-teams-apps SDK, but it was never
declared as a dependency, so source/local installs hit ImportError and the
adapter silently reported the SDK as unavailable. Add a 'teams' extra
(microsoft-teams-apps==2.0.13.4 + aiohttp) and document 'uv sync --extra teams'.
Per the 2026-05-12 [all] policy, opt-in messaging-platform SDKs are NOT added
to [all] (they would break every fresh install on a quarantined release); the
teams extra is installed on demand like the other platform backends.

* chore: map rio-jeong contributor email for attribution (#43945)
* feat(teams): lazy-install the Teams SDK on demand (parity with other channels)
The teams extra alone left Teams as the only messaging platform that wouldn't
auto-install its SDK — every other channel (telegram, discord, slack, matrix,
dingtalk, feishu) lazy-installs via tools.lazy_deps on first connect. Bring
Teams to parity:
- Add 'platform.teams' to LAZY_DEPS (microsoft-teams-apps + aiohttp).
- Replace the passive 'check_teams_requirements = check_requirements' alias with
a real lazy-installer that calls ensure_and_bind('platform.teams', ...),
rebinding all Teams SDK globals on success (mirrors check_slack_requirements).
- Call check_teams_requirements() at the top of TeamsAdapter.connect() so
enabling Teams installs the SDK on demand.
- Keep the passive check_requirements() as the registry check_fn so 'gateway
status' probes never trigger a pip install.
The 'teams' extra remains for packagers / explicit 'uv sync --extra teams'.
Tests: rework the alias test into shortcircuit + lazy-install assertions, and
update test_connect_fails_without_sdk to simulate an uninstallable SDK.

Track why a background process finished and include that source in notify-on-complete messages so SIGTERM from process.kill, kill_all, backend loss, and ordinary exits are distinguishable.
send_message(target="whatsapp:<group-jid>") silently delivered to the
configured home DM instead of the requested group. Two gaps:
1. _parse_target_ref had no WhatsApp branch. Group JIDs (<id>@g.us),
user JIDs (<id>@s.whatsapp.net), linked-identity JIDs (<id>@lid), and
broadcast/newsletter JIDs matched no pattern and fell through to
`return None, None, False`, so the caller treated them as
unresolvable and used the home channel. The bridge's /send endpoint
accepts any chatId, so only the tool-side target parsing was at fault.
Add a whatsapp branch that recognizes native JIDs as explicit targets.
The pre-existing '+'-prefixed E.164 path is preserved.
2. WhatsApp groups have no human-friendly name — the channel directory
is regenerated from session data on a timer, so a group shows up as
its raw 18-digit JID and any hand-edit to channel_directory.json is
clobbered on the next rebuild. Add a user-maintained alias overlay
(~/.hermes/channel_aliases.json) re-applied on every build AND every
load, giving durable friendly names and letting a freshly-created
group be pre-named before its first message.
Tests: TestParseTargetRefWhatsAppJID (7 cases) for the parser;
TestChannelAliases (7 cases) for the overlay, plus an autouse fixture
isolating CHANNEL_ALIASES_PATH so a real alias file can't leak into the
existing directory tests.
_configured_terminal_cwd and _registered_task_cwd_override carried a
byte-identical sentinel + expanduser + isabs validation tail. Extract it
into _sentinel_free_abs_cwd(raw) so the relative/sentinel rejection rule
lives in one place. Behaviour unchanged (the str() coercion the override
path relied on is preserved in the helper).
The session-cwd fix inserted a registered task/session cwd override step
between the live-cwd and $TERMINAL_CWD fallbacks, but three docstrings still
described the old two-step order — _resolve_base_dir's numbered list was
outright wrong. Update _authoritative_workspace_root, _resolve_base_dir, and
_path_resolution_warning to reflect the actual four-step resolution order.
No behaviour change.
The raw-key-first-then-collapsed override lookup was hand-rolled in three
places with subtly different spellings: terminal_tool's command setup, and
both file_tools._registered_task_cwd_override and _get_file_ops. Since that
exact raw-vs-collapsed invariant is what the session-cwd fix depends on,
keeping three copies invites the drift that caused the original bug.
Add terminal_tool.resolve_task_overrides(task_id) as the single source and
route all three sites through it. Behaviour is unchanged (verified
byte-equivalent across raw/collapsed/isolation/None/subagent inputs).
Remove the free Parallel Search MCP path and restore the keyed Parallel backend behavior from before it was introduced.
Also drops the keyless fallback registration/display labeling tests and returns the Parallel SDK pin to the prior version.
The platform-disabled fix landed only in agent.skill_utils.get_disabled_skill_names
(the system-prompt path). Two sibling resolvers still used the old
replace-not-union semantics, so the same skill could be hidden from the
<available_skills> prompt yet reported enabled elsewhere:
- hermes_cli/skills_config.get_disabled_skills (the 'hermes skills config' UI)
returned only the platform list, so a globally-disabled skill showed as
enabled (unchecked) on any platform with a platform_disabled entry.
- tools/skills_tool._is_skill_disabled (gates whether skill_view loads a skill)
ignored the global list when a platform list existed, so a globally-disabled
skill could still be loaded on such a platform.
Both now union the global list with the platform list, matching
get_disabled_skill_names. An explicit empty platform list no longer re-enables
a globally-disabled skill — global disables hold on every platform (#46201).
Also: fix the now-stale get_disabled_skill_names docstring and drop a stray
blank line. Regression tests added for both sites (proven to fail on the old
replace semantics).
When profile isolation activates ({HERMES_HOME}/home/ exists), child
processes receive HOME={HERMES_HOME}/home/ for tool config isolation
(git, ssh, gh). However, scripts using Path.home() to locate
~/.hermes/ would incorrectly resolve to the isolated profile home,
breaking helpers that rely on the real user home directory.
New get_real_home() helper in hermes_constants resolves the actual
user home independently of profile isolation. All four subprocess
spawners now inject HERMES_REAL_HOME alongside the profile HOME:
- tools/code_execution_tool.py (execute_code)
- tools/environments/local.py (terminal background, run_env)
- agent/copilot_acp_client.py (Copilot ACP)
Child scripts can now use:
Path(os.environ.get("HERMES_REAL_HOME", os.environ.get("HOME", "")))
to reliably find the real user home regardless of profile isolation.
Closes#25114
Recover an orphaned .bak before classification (interrupted updates no longer read as user deletions), clear a stale .bak before shutil.move (replace, not nest), and clear a partial dest before restore so restore-on-failure actually runs.
Fixes#44942
tools/approval.py already denies tee/redirection writes to every
_SENSITIVE_WRITE_TARGET (~/.ssh/*, ~/.netrc/.pgpass/.npmrc/.pypirc, shell
rc files, ~/.hermes/config.yaml/.env) via the DANGEROUS_PATTERNS tee/`>`
rules, but cp/mv/install were only paired for _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH (/etc) and
the project-relative env/config target. So `cp evil ~/.ssh/authorized_keys`
(SSH-key implant / persistence), `cp creds ~/.netrc`, and `cp evil ~/.bashrc`
(login-time command injection) auto-approved while the equivalent tee/`>`
forms were denied — an unpaired write deny is theater (same rationale as
#14639 / commit 4e9d886d, which paired the terminal side for
~/.hermes/config.yaml writes but did not touch these cp/mv/install verbs on
the broader sensitive set).
Add one (cp|mv|install) DANGEROUS_PATTERNS entry reusing the existing
_SENSITIVE_WRITE_TARGET fragment, anchored via _COMMAND_TAIL so it fires on
the destination (last arg) only: reading OUT of a sensitive path
(`cp ~/.ssh/config /tmp/x`) stays auto-approved. Description differs from the
system-config cp entry so the two keep distinct approval keys (no silent
cross-approval). Additive — does not subsume the /etc or project-config rules.
Adds TestSensitiveCopyMovePattern: 5 positive cases (ssh authorized_keys,
ssh private key via mv, netrc via install, bashrc, ~/.hermes/config.yaml) +
2 negative guards (copy FROM ssh, unrelated copy). The ssh/netrc/bashrc
positives fail on main and pass on this branch; the negatives stay green
both ways.
* feat(cli): add --safe-mode troubleshooting flag
Inspired by Claude Code v2.1.169 (June 2026): run Hermes with all
customizations disabled to isolate setup problems from product bugs.
--safe-mode implies --ignore-user-config and --ignore-rules, and
additionally skips plugin discovery (hermes_cli/plugins.py) and MCP
server loading (tools/mcp_tool.py) via the internal HERMES_SAFE_MODE
env bridge.
* fix(desktop): keep composer usable during reconnect
Subagents doing legitimate heavy work (deep code reviews, research
fan-outs, slow reasoning models) were routinely killed at the blanket
600s child_timeout_seconds cap while making steady progress (e.g. 36
API calls completed when the axe fell). Failures should come from what
the child is actually doing — API errors, tool errors, iteration
budget — not a delegation-level stopwatch.
- DEFAULT_CHILD_TIMEOUT: 600 -> None; Future.result(timeout=None)
blocks until the child finishes
- config default delegation.child_timeout_seconds: 600 -> 0
(0/negative = disabled; positive opts back in, floor 30s unchanged)
- stuck-child protection unchanged: the heartbeat staleness monitor
still stops refreshing parent activity so the gateway inactivity
timeout fires on a truly wedged worker; the 0-API-call diagnostic
dump still works when a cap is configured
- docs updated (EN + zh-Hans)
* feat(desktop): session-scoped status stack + kill new-window theme flash
Stack subagents, background tasks, and the queue into one collapsible
"sink" above the composer, reusing the queue's chrome so every status
reads as one piece. Extracts shared StatusSection / StatusRow /
TerminalOutput primitives and a unified $statusItemsBySession store
(subagents mirrored, background owned here, merged + grouped for render).
Renames BrailleSpinner → GlyphSpinner now that it drives more than braille.
Separately, fix the white flash on every new/cmd-clicked window: macOS
`vibrancy` paints an NSVisualEffectView that follows the OS appearance and
ignores `backgroundColor`, so a dark app on a light-mode Mac flashed white
until the renderer painted over it. Pin `nativeTheme.themeSource` to the
app theme (persisted to userData so cold launches paint right before the
renderer loads), hold windows with `show:false` until `ready-to-show`, and
pre-paint the themed background via an inline script before the bundle runs.
* feat(desktop): dock the slash popover to the composer via one shared fill var
The slash·@ popover (and ? help) now docks onto the composer's edge with the
same chrome as the queue/status stack — rounded outer corners, fused borderless
edge, no shadow — but keeps its own narrow width.
Surface + drawer paint a single --composer-fill var; the state ladder
(rest / scrolled / focused / drawer-open) lives once in styles.css on
[data-slot='composer-root']. The :has() drawer-open rule is last and forces an
opaque fill, since translucent glass sampling different backdrops (thread vs
fade gradient) can never match. This replaces the focus-within !important
override that repainted the surface behind every previous matching attempt.
Also drop the chevron column from the project file tree — the folder open/closed
icon already carries the expand state.
* feat(desktop): base inset for file tree rows (post-chevron alignment)
* feat(desktop): wire the status stack's background tasks to the real process registry
The background group was UI-only (dev-mock seeded). Now it's live e2e:
- tui_gateway: new session-scoped `process.list` (registry snapshot filtered
by the session's session_key, plus a 4KB output tail for the inline
terminal viewer) and `process.kill` (single process, ownership-checked —
unlike process.stop's kill_all).
- Renderer: `reconcileBackgroundProcesses` syncs snapshots into the store
layout-stably — rows keep their position when state flips (never re-sort),
new processes append, unchanged rows keep object identity so memoised rows
skip re-rendering, and a dismissed-set stops the registry's retained
finished procs from resurrecting X-ed rows.
- Refresh triggers: session open, terminal/process tool.complete,
status.update(kind=process) from the gateway's notification poller, and a
5s poll armed only while a running row is visible (catches silent exits).
- Stop = real `process.kill` + optimistic dismiss; Dismiss = client-side
with resurrection guard.
- Re-keyed the stack to the RUNTIME session id: it was keyed by the stored
session id, where neither subagent events nor process.list would ever land.
- Deleted dev-status-mocks.ts (__hermesStatusMocks) — no more seed shit.
Reconcile invariants covered in store/composer-status.test.ts.
* feat(desktop): todos + openable subagents in the status stack, self-healing file tree
- todo lists move out of the inline chat panel into the composer status stack
(checklist icon, dashed ring = pending, spinner = in progress, check = done),
fed live from todo tool events and seeded from history on session open
- subagent rows carry the child's real session id end-to-end
(delegate_tool → gateway → renderer) so clicking one opens ITS session window
- status stack publishes its measured height so the thread's bottom clearance
grows with it; card paints the shared --composer-fill so focused/scrolled
states match the composer exactly
- file tree self-heals: ENOENT roots retry on a 3s cadence + Try again button,
and the main process expands ~ in IPC paths (gateway cwds arrive as ~/...)
- composer drag-drop of tree entries inserts inline refs instead of attachments
* fix(desktop): file tree falls back to the workspace dir when a session's cwd is gone
Sessions record their launch cwd; deleted worktrees leave that path dead,
so opening such a session swapped the tree from the default workspace to a
directory that ENOENTs forever — the 3s retry just spun on it. On a root
read error the tree now asks main to sanitize the cwd (prefers the
configured default project dir), displays that fallback, and quietly
re-probes the original path so it switches back if the dir reappears.
* feat(desktop): working restore-checkpoint button on past user prompts
The discard icon on hover of a past user bubble was decorative — clicking
did nothing. It's now a real control: a confirmation dialog explains that
everything after the prompt is removed, then the session rewinds to that
turn and reruns the same prompt (prompt.submit with
truncate_before_user_ordinal, the same mechanism the edit composer uses).
Failures rethrow into the dialog's inline error instead of toasting.
* fix(desktop): show the restore-checkpoint button on the latest user prompt too
Restoring the most recent prompt is just 'retry this turn' — no reason to
exclude it. Stop still takes the slot while the turn is running.
* fix(desktop): finished todo lists clear themselves out of the status stack
A list whose every item is completed/cancelled lingers ~4s so the final
checkmark is visible, then the todo group drops out of the stack. A fresh
active list arriving within the linger cancels the scheduled clear.
* chore(desktop): drop dead editableCheckpoint copy, terser restore confirm
* fix(desktop): rewind clears the abandoned timeline's todos + background
Restoring to (or editing) an earlier prompt rewinds the conversation, but
the todos and background processes spawned by the now-discarded turns kept
showing in the status stack — and the real background processes kept
running. Both rewind paths now clear the session's todo rows and kill +
drop its background processes before the fresh run repopulates them. Also
drops the click-to-edit clamp transition, which flashed a half-expanded
bubble on the way into the edit composer.
* feat(desktop): user messages are always editable; edit/restore revert mid-stream
The bubble is now always click-to-edit — even while a turn streams — instead
of going inert during a run. Sending an edit acts like restore: it rewinds to
that prompt and re-runs with the new text. Both edit and restore can fire
mid-stream now; the gateway refuses prompt.submit while a turn runs (4009
"session busy"), so they interrupt the live turn first and retry the submit
until the cooperative interrupt winds it down. Restore (re-run as-is) shows on
every prompt except the latest running one, which keeps the Stop button.
* fix(desktop): label preview-pane ⌘L selections with the filename, not "zsh"
The terminal owns a global ⌘/Ctrl+L "send selection to composer" shortcut, so
selecting text in the file preview pane and hitting it fell through to the
terminal handler — which imported the right text but labelled the composer ref
"zsh:N lines" off the shell name. When the selection isn't an xterm selection,
label it with the previewed file instead.
* fix(desktop): ⌘L on a preview line selection inserts the @line ref, like dragging
The source preview lets you select lines in the gutter and drag them into the
composer as an @line:path:start-end ref. ⌘/Ctrl+L now does the same when a line
selection is active — it drops the identical ref instead of falling through to
the terminal's global handler (which grabbed the native text selection and sent
a bogus terminal block). Capture-phase + stopPropagation so it wins; with a line
selection there's no native selection, so the terminal handler stays out of it.
* chore: gitignore apps/desktop/demo/ scratch output
The desktop demo prompt writes demo/*.txt during recorded walkthroughs; it's
throwaway, never part of the app. Ignore it so it stops cluttering git status.
* feat(desktop): subagent watch windows, hard stop, sidebar hygiene
Child-session mirror for live subagent windows, delegate sessions tagged
and excluded from the sidebar, composer focus/stop polish, and WS stall
resilience on the gateway transport.
* refactor: DRY delegate SQL + trim status-stack noise
Extract shared listable-child and delegate-delete helpers in hermes_state,
collapse cancelRun busy release, and cut comment bloat in resume/status paths.
* fix(desktop): hide orphaned subagent sessions in sidebar
Cascade-delete all ephemeral children on parent delete (not just tagged rows),
run v16 backfill to tag legacy orphans, and record new delegates as source=subagent.
* fix: restore orphan contract for untagged children + lazy session eviction
Cascade-delete only _delegate_from-tagged rows (v16 backfill covers legacy),
walk marker chains recursively with FK-safe orphaning, gate lazy watch
sessions out of the still-starting eviction exemption via an explicit flag,
pass session_id to _make_agent only when resuming, and hide source=subagent
from session search.
* fix(gateway): gate child mirror off upgraded sessions + age out stale run entries
Review findings: the mirror could interleave synthetic events with a real
native stream once a watch window upgrades (prompt.submit builds an agent),
and a lost subagent.complete left _active_child_runs pinning running=true
forever. Mirror now stops when the live session owns an agent; liveness
reads ignore entries older than an hour.
* fix(gateway): reject prompt.submit into a watch session while its child runs
A lazy watch session's running flag is False (the run lives in the parent
turn), so typing mid-run sailed past the busy guard and built a second agent
racing the in-flight child on the same stored session. Busy error until the
run completes; afterwards the submit upgrades into a normal conversation.
* refactor(gateway): DRY watch-resume payload + compose listable-child SQL
Fold the duplicated child-run busy overlay into one _reuse_live_payload
helper across both resume reuse paths, collapse the twin mirror early-returns,
and build _LISTABLE_CHILD_SQL from _BRANCH_CHILD_SQL instead of restating it.
* fix(desktop): clip horizontal overflow on sidebar scroll areas
Add overflow-x-hidden alongside overflow-y-auto on session list scrollers
and the shared SidebarContent primitive — vertical scroll unchanged.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #44486: the adapter shipped remove_reaction but
the tool only exposed 'react'. Generalize _handle_react(remove=) and add
tool-level dispatch tests for react/unreact (missing from the original PR).
Add `action='react'` to `send_message` tool and expose `add_reaction`/
`remove_reaction` on the Photon adapter.
- Track latest inbound message id per chat (`_last_inbound_by_chat`,
bounded to 200 entries) so the agent can react without threading
message ids through tool calls
- New `add_reaction`/`remove_reaction` public methods on PhotonAdapter;
unlike the lifecycle tapbacks, these are not gated by PHOTON_REACTIONS
- `send_message` gains `action='react'` with `emoji` and optional
`message_id` params; resolves target via existing channel-directory
and home-channel logic; requires a live gateway adapter
Fireworks-hosted Kimi rejects tool requests when nullable MCP/Pydantic
schemas collapse to {"$ref": "...", "default": null}. Strip that sibling
during global schema sanitization so gateway and CLI calls succeed again.
Tell coding agents to activate shell setup once per session instead of re-sourcing it before every command, and pin the existing LocalEnvironment env-snapshot behavior with regression tests.
Port from anomalyco/opencode#31271: only call tools/list when the server
advertises the 'tools' capability in InitializeResult.capabilities.
Previously, _discover_tools() unconditionally called session.list_tools()
right after initialize. Prompt-only / resource-only servers (which omit
the tools capability per the MCP spec) raise McpError(-32601 Method not
found), which aborted the connection — burning all 3 initial-connect
retries and permanently failing the server even though its prompts and
resources were perfectly usable. The 180s keepalive had the same problem:
it probed with list_tools(), so even a successfully connected prompt-only
server would be torn down on the first keepalive cycle.
Changes:
- MCPServerTask._advertises_tools(): capability check with a legacy
fallback (no captured InitializeResult -> behave as before)
- _discover_tools(): skip tools/list for non-tool servers
- keepalive: use the universal ping request for non-tool servers
- _refresh_tools(): guard against tools/list_changed from non-tool servers
E2E verified with a real stdio prompt-only FastMCP-style server: on main
it fails all 3 connection attempts with Method-not-found; with this fix
it connects, lists prompts, answers ping keepalives, and shuts down
cleanly.
Collapse the verbose multi-line rationale comments across the TUI/desktop/
backend approval surfaces into single-line "why" notes, and derive
APPROVAL_OPTS_NO_ALWAYS from APPROVAL_OPTS instead of re-listing it.
No behavior change.
When a tirith content-security warning is present the approval backend
forces allow_permanent=False and silently downgrades an "always" choice to
session scope (the persistence loop in check_all_command_guards only honors
"always" → permanent when no tirith finding exists). But the gateway notify
payload that drives the TUI and the Electron desktop app never carried that
flag, so both surfaces always rendered "Always allow" — offering a permanent
allow the backend would quietly refuse to persist.
Plumb allow_permanent end-to-end:
- tools/approval.py: include `allow_permanent: not has_tirith` in the gateway
approval_data the notify callback emits as `approval.request`.
- ui-tui: thread `allowPermanent` through the event handler, gateway types,
and ApprovalReq; ApprovalPrompt drops the "always" option (and renumbers the
quick-pick keys) when it's false.
- apps/desktop: thread `allow_permanent` through the gateway payload type, the
per-session approval store, and the inline ApprovalBar, which now hides the
"Always allow…" dropdown item when permanent allow is disallowed — reusing
the existing DropdownMenu / confirm-Dialog UI.
The desktop/TUI render path for approvals already landed in #38578 (the root
cause of approvals not surfacing in the GUI); this completes the salvage of
#37856 by carrying allow_permanent across both surfaces. #37856's original
thread-local _block() approach is dropped: desktop/TUI approvals resolve via
approval.respond → resolve_gateway_approval (the per-session queue), not the
_block()/request_id correlation, so a worker-thread callback waiting on _block
would never be released by the real UI.
Tests: gateway notify payload carries allow_permanent (True without tirith,
False with a tirith warning); ui-tui approvalAction reduced option set +
event-handler allowPermanent propagation; desktop store round-trip + the
ApprovalBar showing/hiding "Always allow".

web_search/web_extract are documented to work with zero setup via the bundled
keyless Parallel free-MCP backend, but that only holds when the bundled
plugins/web/* providers are registered. The dispatch relied entirely on the
general plugin sweep to do that; when the sweep finishes without registering
them (its exception swallowed as a warning, a packaged layout where it ran
before the bundled tree was importable, or a stale empty-discovery cache), the
registry is empty and BOTH tools dead-end on "No web {search,extract} provider
configured" — despite needing no setup at all.
_ensure_web_plugins_loaded now verifies the keyless default landed after the
sweep and, if not, registers the bundled web providers directly against the
registry. Idempotent, a no-op on the healthy path (one dict lookup), and honors
an explicit plugins.disabled entry.
Review fixes for the Cron Recipes stack before release:
- hydration-move: */90 in the cron minute field silently wraps to hourly
(croniter-verified) — 90/120-minute options never fired at their stated
cadence. Replaced with an hour-field step (0 9-17/2 * * 1-5) and an
interval_hours slot whose options (1/2/3h) all fire as labeled.
- fill_recipe: reject unknown slot names. A typo'd 'tiem=07:15' used to
silently create the job at the 08:00 default; now it 422s on the dashboard
form and errors on the slash/deep-link paths with the valid slot list.
- deliver slot: non-strict enum (options are suggestions, scheduler
validates downstream) so slack/whatsapp/etc. users aren't locked out;
GET /api/cron/recipes rewrites its options from cron_delivery_targets()
so the dashboard form only offers configured platforms; help text no
longer claims dashboard-created jobs deliver to 'the chat you set this
up from' (the endpoint strips origin — they go to the home channel).
- gateway: success/accept messages no longer point at /cron (cli_only);
surface-aware hint instead. Conversational fill now sends the
'Setting up X — I'll ask you a couple of things…' ack before the agent
turn, matching the CLI experience.
- important-mail catalog entry: reference the urgency classifier by module
path (python3 -m cron.scripts.classify_items) instead of baking an
absolute host path into the job prompt — stale after relocation and
nonexistent on remote terminal backends. cron/scripts is now a real
package and ships in the wheel (pyproject packages.find).
- export_recipe: interval schedules round-trip again — parse_schedule
stores 'minutes' but the renderer only read 'seconds', so every interval
job exported as the silent '0 9 * * *' fallback.
- skills_hub install: say so when a recipe suggestion is dropped
(latched dedup or pending cap) instead of printing nothing.
Targeted tests: 58 cron/recipe + 261 web_server pass; E2E-validated all
14 recipes fill+parse, hydration cadences via croniter, typo rejection on
slash + endpoint paths, surface-aware hints, and interval export round-trip.
Hermes can propose automations and let the user accept them with one tap
via /suggestions, instead of making them assemble cron jobs by hand. Every
proposal — wherever it originates — flows through one surface.
Sources (the 'where suggestions come from'):
- catalog: curated starter automations (daily briefing, important-mail
monitor, weekly review, workday-start reminder) via /suggestions catalog
- recipe: installing a skill that carries a metadata.hermes.recipe block
registers a suggestion instead of auto-scheduling
- usage / integration: reserved for the background-review detector and
account-connect triggers (sources defined; emitters land next)
Pieces:
- cron/suggestions.py — the store. add/list/accept/dismiss, dedup+latch by
key (dismissed proposals never re-offered), pending cap so it can't become
a nag wall. Accepting calls the existing cron.jobs.create_job — there is
NO second job engine. Mirrors jobs.py storage (atomic writes, lock, 0600).
- cron/suggestion_catalog.py — the curated set. The important-mail monitor
entry is where the old proactive-monitor poll->classify->surface engine
lives now (cron/scripts/classify_items.py + the 'monitor' aux task), as ONE
catalog automation rather than a standalone feature.
- tools/recipes.py — recipe<->job bridge; register_recipe_suggestion() makes
a recipe source 'recipe' of this surface. recipe_to_job_spec() is the single
translation both the direct and suggestion paths share.
- hermes_cli/suggestions_cmd.py — shared /suggestions handler (CLI + gateway
never drift); /suggestions [accept N|dismiss N|catalog|clear].
- Wired: CommandDef + CLI dispatch (cli.py) + gateway dispatch (gateway/run.py)
+ aux 'monitor' task (config.py) + recipe-install hook (skills_hub.py).
Consent-first throughout: nothing auto-schedules; acceptance is always
explicit; dismissals latch.
Supersedes #41122 (proactive-monitor) and #41127 (recipes): both fold in here
as a catalog entry and a suggestion source respectively.
Tests: store (dedup/cap/accept/dismiss/latch), catalog seeding+idempotency,
recipe->suggestion bridge, command handler, aux config. E2E: recipe SKILL.md
-> parsed -> suggested -> accepted -> real cron job persisted to jobs.json.
* fix(mcp): propagate HERMES_HOME override onto the MCP event loop
Closes the known limit documented in #44007: tasks scheduled via
run_coroutine_threadsafe are created INSIDE the MCP loop thread, so they
copy that thread's context — a per-request profile scope (dashboard
?profile= endpoints, e.g. the MCP 'Test server' probe) silently vanished
for anything resolving get_hermes_home() inside the coroutine. Most
visible symptom: OAuth token-store paths (HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/)
resolved against the process home instead of the selected profile, so
testing an OAuth MCP cross-profile read the wrong tokens.
_run_on_mcp_loop now wraps scheduled coroutines with the caller's
context-local override (_wrap_with_home_override): set inside the task's
own context on the loop, reset on completion — task-local, so concurrent
calls carrying different scopes don't interfere, and the loop thread's
default context stays untouched. No-op (coroutine passes through
unwrapped) when no override is active, i.e. every non-dashboard caller.
web_server's probe comment updated from 'known limit' to 'covered'.
Tests: override propagation (direct + factory form), OAuth token-path
resolution on the loop, loop-context cleanliness after scoped calls,
no-op passthrough. 225 green across mcp_tool + unification suites.
* test(mcp): concurrent different-scope calls don't interfere
Fully removes the cron per-job 'profile' arg added in #28124: the
cronjob tool schema field, CLI --profile flags on cron create/edit,
job-record storage/validation, the scheduler's _job_profile_context
wrapper, and the script-runner env override. Sequential-partition
logic reverts to workdir-only.
The context-local HERMES_HOME override in hermes_constants and the
subprocess bridging in tools/environments/local.py are kept — they
now have other consumers (dashboard multi-profile, TUI gateway).
Make Parallel the web search/extract backend with a zero-setup free tier:
- Keyless (no PARALLEL_API_KEY): web_search/web_extract work out of the box via
Parallel's free hosted Search MCP (search.parallel.ai/mcp), and parallel
becomes the default backend when no other web credentials are configured
(ahead of ddgs, which is search-only). A small hand-rolled Streamable-HTTP
JSON-RPC client speaks the MCP's web_search/web_fetch tools; the existing
web_search/web_extract tools are the only tools registered.
- Keyed (PARALLEL_API_KEY set): uses the Parallel v1 REST endpoints
(client.search / client.extract with advanced_settings.full_content) — no beta.
Bumps parallel-web 0.4.2 -> 0.6.0.
- Attribution: on the free path only, results carry provider/attribution and the
CLI tool line reads "Parallel search" / "Parallel fetch"; the paid path is
unbranded.
- Selection/registration: web tools register unconditionally (free MCP backstop)
while check_web_api_key remains a real usability probe; explicit per-capability
backends are honored (so misconfig surfaces) rather than masked by the fallback.
Tested: live web_search/web_extract against search.parallel.ai in keyless and
keyed modes; unit suites for the MCP client, backend selection, and display
labeling; full agent run shows the "Parallel search" label on the free path.
A cron job stored with `provider: "custom"` and a matching `providers.custom`
entry in config failed at execution with `auth_unavailable: providers=codex`.
Two layers conspired:
- `_get_named_custom_provider` returned None for bare "custom" *before*
scanning config, so a literal `providers.custom` entry was never matched and
resolution fell through to the global default (codex). Now it scans config
for an entry literally named "custom"; with none it still returns None,
preserving the legacy model.base_url trust path.
- `_resolve_model_override` blindly stripped bare "custom" at job creation and
pinned `model.provider` (e.g. codex). It now keeps "custom" when a configured
custom endpoint resolves, pinning the main provider only when it doesn't.
