Both wired against features the iron-proxy author (@mslipper) confirmed on
PR #30179 — and both verified present in the pinned v0.39.0 source.
Header-auth providers (match_headers):
- New _HEADER_AUTH_PROVIDERS: Anthropic native (x-api-key), Azure OpenAI
(api-key on *.openai.azure.com / *.cognitiveservices / *.services.ai),
Gemini (x-goog-api-key + ?key= query param via match_query).
- TokenMapping grows match_headers + alias_env_names; per-provider header
sets flow into the secrets rules; mappings.json roundtrips them
(legacy files load with the Authorization default).
- GEMINI_API_KEY / GOOGLE_API_KEY collapse into ONE mapping (two
require-rules on the same host would reject each other); the sandbox
gets the token under both names, and the proxy child env mirrors the
alias into the canonical name when only the alias is set.
- Docker backend injects alias env names alongside canonical ones.
- The fail-closed tier is now empty, so fail_on_uncovered_providers and
discover_blocked_providers are deleted (dead toggle otherwise);
_NON_BEARER_PROVIDERS shrinks to genuinely-unswappable signature auth
(AWS SigV4, GCP service-account OAuth) — warn-only, as before.
Management API (hot reload):
- Generated proxy.yaml enables the v0.39 management listener: loopback
only at tunnel_port+2, bearer key from HERMES_IRON_PROXY_MGMT_KEY.
- Key minted at setup (management.token, 0600); start_proxy injects it
(v0.39 refuses to start when api_key_env is empty).
- hermes egress reload -> POST /v1/reload: re-reads proxy.yaml and
atomically swaps the pipeline; 422 leaves the running ruleset
untouched; actionable errors for not-running / pre-management config /
key mismatch. Secrets changes still require restart (daemon env is
read at spawn) — the CLI says so.
Validation: 218/218 unit+CLI+docker tests; 3/3 gated live E2E against the
real v0.39.0 binary (Authorization swap, x-api-key swap, live reload with
token rotation on the same pid). Docs updated.
- Add `hermes egress restart` (stop-then-start) so applying a config /
token / Bitwarden-rotation change is one command instead of the
stop+start dance.
- `hermes egress setup` now offers to restart a running daemon after
rewriting config/tokens (asks on a tty; `--restart` / `--no-restart`
for non-interactive control), so changes take effect without the
operator remembering a manual restart.
- `setup` discovers provider keys kept only in ~/.hermes/.env, not just
exported shell vars — no more confusing 'no provider keys found' when
the keys plainly exist.
- Tests + docs updated.
Rebuilds the iron-proxy egress feature cleanly onto current main. The
original feat/iron-proxy branch had diverged from main with an
unmergeable history (no usable merge-base after main history motion),
so the feature's content diff was re-applied onto a fresh main cut and
the three config/docs conflicts (commands.py status/egress, config.py
proxy vs computer_use, slash-commands.md) resolved keeping main's
content plus the egress additions.
Optional, off-by-default TLS-intercepting egress proxy for remote
terminal sandboxes. Sandboxes hold opaque proxy tokens; iron-proxy
swaps them for real provider API keys at the network boundary.
Includes the full review-cycle hardening:
- P0/P1/P2 rounds (GodsBoy, stephenschoettler, arshkumarsingh,
annguyenNous, maxpetrusenko, sxuff findings)
- v0.39 schema realignment + Docker bridge-bind/listener-role fixes
- Docker UX/enforcement hardening
Salvaged security fixes folded in with credit:
- Three P0 gaps (version-probe env scrub, Bitwarden ImportError
fail-closed, container-reuse egress-boundary) + Docker v29.5.3
empty-label edge — kuangmi-bit (#48073)
- P1/P2 (fail-closed replace.require:true, NODE_OPTIONS CA-flag
conflict, GPG checksum verify, threat-model wording) — Bartok9 (#48076)
