Ports agent/account_usage.py and its tests from the original PR #2486
branch. Defines AccountUsageSnapshot / AccountUsageWindow dataclasses,
a shared renderer, and provider-specific fetchers for OpenAI Codex
(wham/usage), Anthropic OAuth (oauth/usage), and OpenRouter (/credits
and /key). Wiring into /usage lands in a follow-up salvage commit.

Every credential source Hermes reads from now behaves identically on
`hermes auth remove`: the pool entry stays gone across fresh load_pool()
calls, even when the underlying external state (env var, OAuth file,
auth.json block, config entry) is still present.
Before this, auth_remove_command was a 110-line if/elif with five
special cases, and three more sources (qwen-cli, copilot, custom
config) had no removal handler at all — their pool entries silently
resurrected on the next invocation. Even the handled cases diverged:
codex suppressed, anthropic deleted-without-suppressing, nous cleared
without suppressing. Each new provider added a new gap.
What's new:
agent/credential_sources.py — RemovalStep registry, one entry per
source (env, claude_code, hermes_pkce, nous device_code, codex
device_code, qwen-cli, copilot gh_cli + env vars, custom config).
auth_remove_command dispatches uniformly via find_removal_step().
Changes elsewhere:
agent/credential_pool.py — every upsert in _seed_from_env,
_seed_from_singletons, and _seed_custom_pool now gates on
is_source_suppressed(provider, source) via a shared helper.
hermes_cli/auth_commands.py — auth_remove_command reduced to 25
lines of dispatch; auth_add_command now clears ALL suppressions for
the provider on re-add (was env:* only).
Copilot is special: the same token is seeded twice (gh_cli via
_seed_from_singletons + env:<VAR> via _seed_from_env), so removing one
entry without suppressing the other variants lets the duplicate
resurrect. The copilot RemovalStep suppresses gh_cli + all three env
variants (COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN, GH_TOKEN, GITHUB_TOKEN) at once.
Tests: 11 new unit tests + 4059 existing pass. 12 E2E scenarios cover
every source in isolated HERMES_HOME with simulated fresh processes.
Adds a structured adversarial UX testing skill that roleplays the
worst-case user for any product. Uses a 6-step workflow:
1. Define a specific grumpy persona (age 50+, tech-resistant)
2. Browse the app in-character attempting real tasks
3. Write visceral in-character feedback (the Rant)
4. Apply a pragmatism filter (RED/YELLOW/WHITE/GREEN classification)
5. Create tickets only for real issues (RED + GREEN)
6. Deliver a structured report with screenshots
The pragmatism filter is the key differentiator - it prevents raw
persona complaints from becoming tickets, separating genuine UX

Removing an env-seeded credential only cleared ~/.hermes/.env and the
current process's os.environ, leaving shell-exported vars (shell profile,
systemd EnvironmentFile, launchd plist) to resurrect the entry on the
next load_pool() call. This matched the pre-#11485 codex behaviour.
Now we suppress env:<VAR> in auth.json on remove, gate _seed_from_env()
behind is_source_suppressed(), clear env:* suppressions on auth add,
and print a diagnostic pointing at the shell when the var lives there.
Applies to every env:* seeded credential (xai, deepseek, moonshot, zai,
nvidia, openrouter, anthropic, etc.), not just xai.
Reported by @teknium1 from community user 'Artificial Brain' — couldn't
remove their xAI key via hermes auth remove.
Three fixes that close the remaining structural sources of CI flakes
after PR #13363.
## 1. Per-test reset of module-level singletons and ContextVars
Python modules are singletons per process, and pytest-xdist workers are
long-lived. Module-level dicts/sets and ContextVars persist across tests
on the same worker. A test that sets state in `tools.approval._session_approved`
and doesn't explicitly clear it leaks that state to every subsequent test
on the same worker.
New `_reset_module_state` autouse fixture in `tests/conftest.py` clears:
- tools.approval: _session_approved, _session_yolo, _permanent_approved,
_pending, _gateway_queues, _gateway_notify_cbs, _approval_session_key
- tools.interrupt: _interrupted_threads
- gateway.session_context: 10 session/cron ContextVars (reset to _UNSET)
- tools.env_passthrough: _allowed_env_vars_var (reset to empty set)
- tools.credential_files: _registered_files_var (reset to empty dict)
- tools.file_tools: _read_tracker, _file_ops_cache
This was the single biggest remaining class of CI flakes.
`test_command_guards::test_warn_session_approved` and
`test_combined_cli_session_approves_both` were failing 12/15 recent main
runs specifically because `_session_approved` carried approvals from a
prior test's session into these tests' `"default"` session lookup.
## 2. Unset platform allowlist env vars in hermetic fixture
`TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS`, `DISCORD_ALLOWED_USERS`, and 20 other
`*_ALLOWED_USERS` / `*_ALLOW_ALL_USERS` vars are now unset per-test in
the same place credential env vars already are. These aren't credentials
but they change gateway auth behavior; if set from any source (user
shell, leaky test, CI env) they flake button-authorization tests.
Fixes three `test_telegram_approval_buttons` tests that were failing
across recent runs of the full gateway directory.
## 3. Two specific tests with module-level captured state
- `test_signal::TestSignalPhoneRedaction`: `agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED`
is captured at module import from `HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS`, not read
per-call. `monkeypatch.delenv` at test time is too late. Added
`monkeypatch.setattr("agent.redact._REDACT_ENABLED", True)` per
skill xdist-cross-test-pollution Pattern 5.
- `test_internal_event_bypass_pairing::test_non_internal_event_without_user_triggers_pairing`:
`gateway.pairing.PAIRING_DIR` is captured at module import from
HERMES_HOME, so per-test HERMES_HOME redirection in conftest doesn't
retroactively move it. Test now monkeypatches PAIRING_DIR directly to
its tmp_path, preventing rate-limit state from prior xdist workers
from letting the pairing send-call be suppressed.
## Validation
- tests/tools/: 3494 pass (0 fail) including test_command_guards
- tests/gateway/: 3504 pass (0 fail) across repeat runs
- tests/agent/ + tests/hermes_cli/ + tests/run_agent/ + tests/tools/:
8371 pass, 37 skipped, 0 fail — full suite across directories
No production code changed.
file_safety now uses profile-aware get_hermes_home(), so the test
fixture must override HERMES_HOME too — otherwise it resolves to the
conftest's isolated tempdir and the hub-cache path doesn't match.
Builds on @AxDSan's PR #2109 to finish the KittenTTS wiring so the
provider behaves like every other TTS backend end to end.
- tools/tts_tool.py: `_check_kittentts_available()` helper and wire
into `check_tts_requirements()`; extend Opus-conversion list to
include kittentts (WAV → Opus for Telegram voice bubbles); point the
missing-package error at `hermes setup tts`.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add KittenTTS entry to the "Text-to-Speech"
toolset picker, with a `kittentts` post_setup hook that auto-installs
the wheel + soundfile via pip.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: `_install_kittentts_deps()`, new choice + install
flow in `_setup_tts_provider()`, provider_labels entry, and status row
in the `hermes setup` summary.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md: add KittenTTS to the provider
table, config example, ffmpeg note, and the zero-config voice-bubble tip.
- tests/tools/test_tts_kittentts.py: 10 unit tests covering generation,
model caching, config passthrough, ffmpeg conversion, availability
detection, and the missing-package dispatcher branch.
E2E verified against the real `kittentts` wheel:
- WAV direct output (pcm_s16le, 24kHz mono)
- MP3 conversion via ffmpeg (from WAV)
- Telegram flow (provider in Opus-conversion list) produces
`codec_name=opus`, 48kHz mono, `voice_compatible=True`, and the
`[[audio_as_voice]]` marker
- check_tts_requirements() returns True when kittentts is installed
Add support for KittenTTS - a lightweight, local TTS engine with models
ranging from 25-80MB that runs on CPU without requiring a GPU or API key.
Features:
- Support for 8 built-in voices (Jasper, Bella, Luna, etc.)
- Configurable model size (nano 25MB, micro 41MB, mini 80MB)
- Adjustable speech speed
- Model caching for performance
- Automatic WAV to Opus conversion for Telegram voice messages
Configuration example (config.yaml):
tts:
provider: kittentts
kittentts:
model: KittenML/kitten-tts-nano-0.8-int8
voice: Jasper
speed: 1.0
clean_text: true
Installation:
pip install https://github.com/KittenML/KittenTTS/releases/download/0.8.1/kittentts-0.8.1-py3-none-any.whl
Generalize shared multi-user session handling so non-thread group sessions
(group_sessions_per_user=False) get the same treatment as shared threads:
inbound messages are prefixed with [sender name], and the session prompt
shows a multi-user note instead of pinning a single **User:** line into
the cached system prompt.
Before: build_session_key already treated these as shared sessions, but
_prepare_inbound_message_text and build_session_context_prompt only
recognized shared threads — creating cross-user attribution drift and
prompt-cache contamination in shared groups.
- Add is_shared_multi_user_session() helper alongside build_session_key()
so both the session key and the multi-user branches are driven by the
same rules (DMs never shared, threads shared unless
thread_sessions_per_user, groups shared unless group_sessions_per_user).
- Add shared_multi_user_session field to SessionContext, populated by
build_session_context() from config.
- Use context.shared_multi_user_session in the prompt builder (label is
'Multi-user thread' when a thread is present, 'Multi-user session'
otherwise).
- Use the helper in _prepare_inbound_message_text so non-thread shared
groups also get [sender] prefixes.
Default behavior unchanged: DMs stay single-user, groups with
group_sessions_per_user=True still show the user normally, shared threads
keep their existing multi-user behavior.
Tests (65 passed):
- tests/gateway/test_session.py: new shared non-thread group prompt case.
- tests/gateway/test_shared_group_sender_prefix.py: inbound preprocessing
for shared non-thread groups and default groups.
Small follow-up inspired by stale PR #2421 (@poojandpatel).
- bakery now searches both shop=bakery AND amenity=bakery in one Overpass
query so indie bakeries tagged either way are returned. Reproduces #2421's
Lawrenceville, NJ test case (The Gingered Peach, WildFlour Bakery).
- Adds tourism=guest_house and tourism=camp_site as first-class categories.
- CATEGORY_TAGS entries can now be a list of (key, value) tuples; new
_tags_for() normaliser + tag_pairs= kwarg on build_overpass_nearby/bbox
union the results in one query. Old single-tuple call sites unchanged
(back-compat preserved).
- SKILL.md: 44 → 46 categories, list updated.
Follow-up to the redundant-imports sweep. _install_hangup_protection
used to import get_hermes_home locally; the sweep hoisted it to the
module-level binding already present at line 164.
test_non_fatal_if_log_setup_fails monkeypatches
hermes_cli.config.get_hermes_home to raise, which only works when the
function late-binds its lookup. The hoisted version captures the
reference at import time and bypasses the monkeypatch.
Restore the local import (with a distinct local alias) so the test
seam works and the stdio-untouched-on-setup-failure invariant is
actually exercised.
Full AST-based scan of all .py files to find every case where a module
or name is imported locally inside a function body but is already
available at module level. This is the second pass — the first commit
handled the known cases from the lint report; this one catches
everything else.

Sweep ~74 redundant local imports across 21 files where the same module
was already imported at the top level. Also includes type fixes and lint
cleanups on the same branch.
Follow-up on top of opriz's atomic PID file fix. The prior change caught
the race AFTER runner.start(), so the loser still opened Telegram polling
and Discord gateway sockets before detecting the conflict and exiting.
Hoist the PID-claim block to BEFORE runner.start(). Now the loser of the
O_CREAT|O_EXCL race returns from start_gateway() without ever bringing up
any platform adapter — no Telegram conflict, no Discord duplicate session.
Also add regression tests:
- test_write_pid_file_is_atomic_against_concurrent_writers: second
write_pid_file() raises FileExistsError rather than clobbering.
- Two existing replace-path tests updated to stateful mocks since the
real post-kill state (get_running_pid None after remove_pid_file)
is now exercised by the hoisted re-check.
If the old process crashed without firing its atexit handler,
remove_pid_file() is a no-op. Force-unlink the stale gateway.pid
so write_pid_file() (O_CREAT|O_EXCL) does not hit FileExistsError.
When starting the gateway with --replace, concurrent invocations could
leave multiple instances running simultaneously. This happened because
write_pid_file() used a plain overwrite, so the second racer would
silently replace the first process's PID record.
Changes:
- gateway/status.py: write_pid_file() now uses atomic O_CREAT|O_EXCL
creation. If the file already exists, it raises FileExistsError,
allowing exactly one process to win the race.
- gateway/run.py: before writing the PID file, re-check get_running_pid()
and catch FileExistsError from write_pid_file(). In both cases, stop
the runner and return False so the process exits cleanly.
Fixes#11718
* feat(skills): inject absolute skill dir and expand ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} templates
When a skill loads, the activation message now exposes the absolute
skill directory and substitutes ${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} /
${HERMES_SESSION_ID} tokens in the SKILL.md body, so skills with
bundled scripts can instruct the agent to run them by absolute path
without an extra skill_view round-trip.
Also adds opt-in inline-shell expansion: !`cmd` snippets in SKILL.md
are pre-executed (with the skill directory as CWD) and their stdout is
inlined into the message before the agent reads it. Off by default —
enable via skills.inline_shell in config.yaml — because any snippet
runs on the host without approval.
Changes:
- agent/skill_commands.py: template substitution, inline-shell
expansion, absolute skill-dir header, supporting-files list now
shows both relative and absolute forms.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new skills.template_vars,
skills.inline_shell, skills.inline_shell_timeout knobs.
- tests/agent/test_skill_commands.py: coverage for header, both
template tokens (present and missing session id), template_vars
disable, inline-shell default-off, enabled, CWD, and timeout.
- website/docs/developer-guide/creating-skills.md: documents the
template tokens, the absolute-path header, and the opt-in inline
shell with its security caveat.
Validation: tests/agent/ 1591 passed (includes 9 new tests).
E2E: loaded a real skill in an isolated HERMES_HOME; confirmed
${HERMES_SKILL_DIR} resolves to the absolute path, ${HERMES_SESSION_ID}
resolves to the passed task_id, !`date` runs when opt-in is set, and
stays literal when it isn't.
* feat(terminal): source ~/.bashrc (and user-listed init files) into session snapshot
bash login shells don't source ~/.bashrc, so tools that install themselves
there — nvm, asdf, pyenv, cargo, custom PATH exports — stay invisible to
the environment snapshot Hermes builds once per session. Under systemd
or any context with a minimal parent env, that surfaces as
'node: command not found' in the terminal tool even though the binary
is reachable from every interactive shell on the machine.
Changes:
- tools/environments/local.py: before the login-shell snapshot bootstrap
runs, prepend guarded 'source <file>' lines for each resolved init
file. Missing files are skipped, each source is wrapped with a
'[ -r ... ] && . ... || true' guard so a broken rc can't abort the
bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new terminal.shell_init_files (explicit list,
supports ~ and ${VAR}) and terminal.auto_source_bashrc (default on)
knobs. When shell_init_files is set it takes precedence; when it's
empty and auto_source_bashrc is on, ~/.bashrc gets auto-sourced.
- tests/tools/test_local_shell_init.py: 10 tests covering the resolver
(auto-bashrc, missing file, explicit override, ~/${VAR} expansion,
opt-out) and the prelude builder (quoting, guarded sourcing), plus
a real-LocalEnvironment snapshot test that confirms exports in the
init file land in subsequent commands' environment.
- website/docs/reference/faq.md: documents the fix in Troubleshooting,
including the zsh-user pattern of sourcing ~/.zshrc or nvm.sh
directly via shell_init_files.
Validation: 10/10 new tests pass; tests/tools/test_local_*.py 40/40
pass; tests/agent/ 1591/1591 pass; tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py
50/50 pass. E2E in an isolated HERMES_HOME: confirmed that a fake
~/.bashrc setting a marker var and PATH addition shows up in a real
LocalEnvironment().execute() call, that auto_source_bashrc=false
suppresses it, that an explicit shell_init_files entry wins over the
auto default, and that a missing bashrc is silently skipped.
The re-pair branch had a redundant 'import shutil' inside cmd_whatsapp,
which made shutil a function-local throughout the whole scope. The
earlier 'shutil.which("npm")' call at the dependency-install step then
crashed with UnboundLocalError before control ever reached the local
import.
shutil is already imported at module level (line 48), so the local
import was dead code anyway. Drop it.
Catalog snapshots, config version literals, and enumeration counts are data
that changes as designed. Tests that assert on those values add no
behavioral coverage — they just break CI on every routine update and cost
engineering time to 'fix.'
Replace with invariants where one exists, delete where none does.
Deleted (pure snapshots):
- TestMinimaxModelCatalog (3 tests): 'MiniMax-M2.7 in models' et al
- TestGeminiModelCatalog: 'gemini-2.5-pro in models', 'gemini-3.x in models'
- test_browser_camofox_state::test_config_version_matches_current_schema
(docstring literally said it would break on unrelated bumps)
Relaxed (keep plumbing check, drop snapshot):
- Xiaomi / Arcee / Kimi moonshot / Kimi coding / HuggingFace static lists:
now assert 'provider exists and has >= 1 entry' instead of specific names
- HuggingFace main/models.py consistency test: drop 'len >= 6' floor
Dynamicized (follow source, not a literal):
- 3x test_config.py migration tests: raw['_config_version'] ==
DEFAULT_CONFIG['_config_version'] instead of hardcoded 21
Fixed stale tests against intentional behavior changes:
- test_insights::test_gateway_format_hides_cost: name matches new behavior
(no dollar figures); remove contradicting '$' in text assertion
- test_config::prefers_api_then_url_then_base_url: flipped per PR #9332;
rename + update to base_url > url > api
- test_anthropic_adapter: relax assert_called_once() (xdist-flaky) to
assert called — contract is 'credential flowed through'
- test_interrupt_propagation: add provider/model/_base_url to bare-agent
fixture so the stale-timeout code path resolves
Fixed stale integration tests against opt-in plugin gate:
- transform_tool_result + transform_terminal_output: write plugins.enabled
allow-list to config.yaml and reset the plugin manager singleton
Source fix (real consistency invariant):
- agent/model_metadata.py: add moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6 context length
(262144, same as K2.5). test_model_metadata_has_context_lengths was
correctly catching the gap.
Policy:
- AGENTS.md Testing section: new subsection 'Don't write change-detector
tests' with do/don't examples. Reviewers should reject catalog-snapshot
assertions in new tests.
Covers every test that failed on the last completed main CI run
(24703345583) except test_modal_sandbox_fixes::test_terminal_tool_present
+ test_terminal_and_file_toolsets_resolve_all_tools, which now pass both
alone and with the full tests/tools/ directory (xdist ordering flake that
resolved itself).
Add agent/transports/types.py with three shared dataclasses:
- NormalizedResponse: content, tool_calls, finish_reason, reasoning, usage, provider_data
- ToolCall: id, name, arguments, provider_data (per-tool-call protocol metadata)
- Usage: prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, cached_tokens
Add normalize_anthropic_response_v2() to anthropic_adapter.py — wraps the
existing v1 function and maps its output to NormalizedResponse. One call site
in run_agent.py (the main normalize branch) uses v2 with a back-compat shim
to SimpleNamespace for downstream code.
No ABC, no registry, no streaming, no client lifecycle. Those land in PR 3
with the first concrete transport (AnthropicTransport).
46 new tests:
- test_types.py: dataclass construction, build_tool_call, map_finish_reason
- test_anthropic_normalize_v2.py: v1-vs-v2 regression tests (text, tools,
thinking, mixed, stop reasons, mcp prefix stripping, edge cases)
Part of the provider transport refactor (PR 2 of 9).
Classic-CLI /steer typed during an active agent run was queued through
self._pending_input alongside ordinary user input. process_loop, which
drains that queue, is blocked inside self.chat() for the entire run,
so the queued command was not pulled until AFTER _agent_running had
flipped back to False — at which point process_command() took the idle
fallback ("No agent running; queued as next turn") and delivered the
steer as an ordinary next-turn user message.
From Utku's bug report on PR #13205: mid-run /steer arrived minutes
later at the end of the turn as a /queue-style message, completely
defeating its purpose.
Fix: add _should_handle_steer_command_inline() gating — when
_agent_running is True and the user typed /steer, dispatch
process_command(text) directly from the prompt_toolkit Enter handler
on the UI thread instead of queueing. This mirrors the existing
_should_handle_model_command_inline() pattern for /model and is
safe because agent.steer() is thread-safe (uses _pending_steer_lock,
no prompt_toolkit state mutation, instant return).
No changes to the idle-path behavior: /steer typed with no active
agent still takes the normal queue-and-drain route so the fallback
"No agent running; queued as next turn" message is preserved.
Validation:
- 7 new unit tests in tests/cli/test_cli_steer_busy_path.py covering
the detector, dispatch path, and idle-path control behavior.
- All 21 existing tests in tests/run_agent/test_steer.py still pass.
- Live PTY end-to-end test with real agent + real openrouter model:
22:36:22 API call #1 (model requested execute_code)
22:36:26 ENTER FIRED: agent_running=True, text='/steer ...'
22:36:26 INLINE STEER DISPATCH fired
22:36:43 agent.log: 'Delivered /steer to agent after tool batch'
22:36:44 API call #2 included the steer; response contained marker
Same test on the tip of main without this fix shows the steer
landing as a new user turn ~20s after the run ended.
The WhatsApp bridge depends on @whiskeysockets/baileys pulled directly
from a GitHub commit tarball, which on slower connections or when
GitHub is sluggish routinely exceeds 120s. The hardcoded timeout
surfaced as a raw TimeoutExpired traceback during 'hermes whatsapp'
setup.
Switch to the same pattern used by the TUI npm install at line
~945: no timeout, --no-fund/--no-audit/--progress=false to keep
output clean, stderr captured and tailed on failure. Also resolve
npm via shutil.which so missing Node.js gives a clean error instead
of FileNotFoundError, and handle Ctrl+C cleanly.

Delete the stale literal `_PROVIDER_MODELS["ai-gateway"]` (gpt-5,
gemini-2.5-pro, claude-4.5 — outdated the moment PR #13223 landed with
its curated `AI_GATEWAY_MODELS` snapshot) and derive it from
`AI_GATEWAY_MODELS` instead, so the picker tuples and the bare-id
fallback catalog stay in sync automatically. Also fixes
`get_default_model_for_provider('ai-gateway')` to return kimi-k2.6
(the curated recommendation) instead of claude-opus-4.6.
The mid-run steer marker was '[USER STEER (injected mid-run, not tool
output): <text>]'. Replaced with a plain two-newline-prefixed
'User guidance: <text>' suffix.
Rationale: the marker lives inside the tool result's content string
regardless of whether the tool returned JSON, plain text, an MCP
result, or a plugin result. The bracketed tag read like structured
metadata that some tools (terminal, execute_code) could confuse with
their own output formatting. A plain labelled suffix works uniformly
across every content shape we produce.
Behavior unchanged:
- Still injected into the last tool-role message's content.
- Still preserves multimodal (Anthropic) content-block lists by
appending a text block.
- Still drained at both sites added in #12959 and #13205 — per-tool
drain between individual calls, and pre-API-call drain at the top
of each main-loop iteration.
Checked Codex's equivalent (pending_input / inject_user_message_without_turn
in codex-rs/core): they record mid-turn user input as a real role:user
message via record_user_prompt_and_emit_turn_item(). That's cleaner for
their Responses-API model but not portable to Chat Completions where
role alternation after tool_calls is strict. Embedding the guidance in
the last tool result remains the correct placement for us.
Validation: all 21 tests in tests/run_agent/test_steer.py pass.
Aslaaen's fix in the original PR covered _detect_api_mode_for_url and the
two openai/xai sites in run_agent.py. This finishes the sweep: the same
substring-match false-positive class (e.g. https://api.openai.com.evil/v1,
https://proxy/api.openai.com/v1, https://api.anthropic.com.example/v1)
existed in eight more call sites, and the hostname helper was duplicated
in two modules.
- utils: add shared base_url_hostname() (single source of truth).
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider, run_agent: drop local duplicates, import
from utils. Reuse the cached AIAgent._base_url_hostname attribute
everywhere it's already populated.
- agent/auxiliary_client: switch codex-wrap auto-detect, max_completion_tokens
gate (auxiliary_max_tokens_param), and custom-endpoint max_tokens kwarg
selection to hostname equality.
- run_agent: native-anthropic check in the Claude-style model branch
and in the AIAgent init provider-auto-detect branch.
- agent/model_metadata: Anthropic /v1/models context-length lookup.
- hermes_cli/providers.determine_api_mode: anthropic / openai URL
heuristics for custom/unknown providers (the /anthropic path-suffix
convention for third-party gateways is preserved).
- tools/delegate_tool: anthropic detection for delegated subagent
runtimes.
- hermes_cli/setup, hermes_cli/tools_config: setup-wizard vision-endpoint
native-OpenAI detection (paired with deduping the repeated check into
a single is_native_openai boolean per branch).
Tests:
- tests/test_base_url_hostname.py covers the helper directly
(path-containing-host, host-suffix, trailing dot, port, case).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_determine_api_mode_hostname.py adds the same
regression class for determine_api_mode, plus a test that the
/anthropic third-party gateway convention still wins.

Load-time sanitizer silently removed non-ASCII codepoints from any
env var ending in _API_KEY / _TOKEN / _SECRET / _KEY, turning
copy-paste artifacts (Unicode lookalikes, ZWSP, NBSP) into opaque
provider-side API_KEY_INVALID errors.
Warn once per key to stderr with the offending codepoints (U+XXXX)
and guidance to re-copy from the provider dashboard.
The original list was copied from OpenRouter conventions and didn't
match what Vercel actually hosts. Verified against the live
/v1/models endpoint (266 models):
- qwen/qwen3.6-plus → alibaba/qwen3.6-plus (Vercel hosts Qwen under alibaba/)
- z-ai/glm-5.1 → zai/glm-5.1 (no hyphen)
- x-ai/grok-4.20 → xai/grok-4.20-reasoning (no hyphen, picks reasoning variant)
- google/gemini-3-flash-preview → google/gemini-3-flash (no -preview suffix)
- moonshotai/kimi-k2.5 → moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (newest available)
Vercel provides a d?to= redirect URL that routes users through their
team picker to the AI Gateway API keys management page. Using this
specific URL lands users directly on the "Create key" page instead of
the generic AI Gateway dashboard.
When the live Vercel AI Gateway catalog exposes a Moonshot model with
zero input AND output pricing, it's promoted to position #1 as the
recommended default — even if the exact ID isn't in the curated
AI_GATEWAY_MODELS list. This enables dynamic discovery of new free
Moonshot variants without requiring a PR to update curation.
Paid Moonshot models are unaffected; falls back to the normal curated
recommended tag when no free Moonshot is live.
Moves Vercel AI Gateway from the bottom of the list to near the top,
adjacent to other multi-model aggregators. The existing bottom
position was a result of the list growing by appending new providers
over time — the new position makes it more discoverable.
- Curated AI_GATEWAY_MODELS list in hermes_cli/models.py (OSS first,
kimi-k2.5 as recommended default).
- fetch_ai_gateway_models() filters the curated list against the live
/v1/models catalog; falls back to the snapshot on network failure.
- fetch_ai_gateway_pricing() translates Vercel's input/output field
names to the prompt/completion shape the shared picker expects;
carries input_cache_read / input_cache_write through unchanged.
- get_pricing_for_provider() now handles ai-gateway.
- _model_flow_ai_gateway() provides a guided URL prompt when no key
is set and a pricing-column picker; routes ai-gateway to it instead
of the generic api-key flow.
Requests through Vercel AI Gateway now carry referrerUrl / appName /
User-Agent attribution so traffic shows up in the gateway's analytics.
Adds _AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS in auxiliary_client and a new
ai-gateway.vercel.sh branch in _apply_client_headers_for_base_url.
Users can declare shell scripts in config.yaml under a hooks: block that
fire on plugin-hook events (pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, pre_llm_call,
subagent_stop, etc). Scripts receive JSON on stdin, can return JSON on
stdout to block tool calls or inject context pre-LLM.
Key design:
- Registers closures on existing PluginManager._hooks dict — zero changes
to invoke_hook() call sites
- subprocess.run(shell=False) via shlex.split — no shell injection
- First-use consent per (event, command) pair, persisted to allowlist JSON
- Bypass via --accept-hooks, HERMES_ACCEPT_HOOKS=1, or hooks_auto_accept
- hermes hooks list/test/revoke/doctor CLI subcommands
- Adds subagent_stop hook event fired after delegate_task children exit
- Claude Code compatible response shapes accepted
