- base.on_processing_complete implements the opt-in remove-ack/add-outcome
flow driven by _OK_EMOJI/_FAIL_EMOJI class attrs and the
_add_reaction(chat_id, message_id, emoji)/_remove_reaction(chat_id,
message_id) primitive shape; default stays a no-op.
- photon drops its override (exact behavioral match).
- slack/discord/feishu/matrix/telegram/google_chat keep overrides: divergent
primitive signatures (team_id routing, raw message objects, reaction-id
handles, replace-semantics setMessageReaction) or extra state protocols.
resolve_sidecar_dir() probes the filesystem (touch/unlink) and can mirror
sidecar files to HERMES_HOME. Doing that as a module-import side effect
meant plugin discovery, `hermes --help`, and test collection all paid a
filesystem probe (and possibly a mirror copy) just for importing the
photon adapter or CLI.
Convert _SIDECAR_DIR/_NPM_ERROR_LOG in adapter.py and cli.py to lazy
cached accessors (_sidecar_dir()/_npm_error_log()); resolution now
happens on first actual use. Existing tests that monkeypatch the
_SIDECAR_DIR module global keep working — the accessors honor a
non-None value. Adds a regression test proving import performs no
resolution.
The Photon iMessage sidecar needs node_modules under
plugins/platforms/photon/sidecar/, but hosted/managed images keep the
whole install tree under an immutable /opt/hermes — every install and
self-heal path (setup CLI, stale-deps reinstall, cold install) died on
EROFS, and hosted users have no shell to work around it.
Three-layer fix, mirroring the WhatsApp bridge resolver pattern:
1. Bake the deps into the image. The Dockerfile now runs npm ci for the
sidecar in the layer-cached dependency stage (deterministic installs
from the committed lockfile; the postinstall spectrum-ts patch runs
at build time). Hosted happy path needs no runtime install at all.
2. New sidecar_paths.resolve_sidecar_dir() decides where the sidecar
runs from: PHOTON_SIDECAR_DIR override > writable source dir (dev
installs, unchanged) > read-only dir with baked fresh deps (managed
image) > mirror to $HERMES_HOME/photon/sidecar (writable data
volume) when deps are missing or stale in a read-only tree. The
mirror refreshes changed source files on image updates while
keeping node_modules, so the existing lockfile-staleness self-heal
works there.
3. connect() can now cold-install: _start_sidecar() runs the bounded
npm ci bootstrap when node_modules is missing instead of raising
immediately, and check_requirements() reports available when a
self-install is possible (npm present + writable resolved dir) so
the gateway actually creates the adapter on hosted instances. A
failed bootstrap still raises the actionable error, which connect()
surfaces as the retryable SIDECAR_FAILED fatal state on the
dashboard.
Tests: resolver decision table (env override, in-place, mirror,
refresh, fail-open), cold-install lifecycle paths, and a Dockerfile
contract test guarding the baked-deps + no-chown invariants.
Fixes NS-606.
Maintainer rework of #45580 (issue #54036) on top of the contributor's
cherry-pick, which targeted spectrum-ts 3.1.0 while main pins 8.0.0:
Sidecar (primary detection, new):
- stream-staleness.mjs: pure decision rules, executable under node.
* classifyProbeRejection: only a not-found-shaped rejection of the
synthetic-id read counts as a completed round-trip (ALIVE); any other
rejection is INCONCLUSIVE — never alive. The original /probe treated
ANY rejection as alive, which was too loose.
* shouldProbe: probe only after 10+ min of stream silence (configurable
via PHOTON_STREAM_SILENCE_PROBE_MS; <=0 disables) with a cooldown.
* isZombieSuspect: zombie only on silence past threshold AND a
probe-proven live channel. Silence alone NEVER degrades (shared lines
can be quiet for hours); inconclusive probes NEVER degrade (network
may be down — the iterator will throw and the re-subscribe loop
recovers on its own).
- index.mjs: track last inbound-iterator yield (noteInboundYield), run a
30s watchdog tick, and on a confirmed zombie feed markStreamDegraded ->
the existing exit-75 restart path. /healthz gains a stream.staleness
block (silentForMs, threshold, lastProbeOutcome, zombieSuspected).
/probe reworked to strict semantics: 200 only on a proven round-trip,
503 with outcome hung|inconclusive otherwise.
Adapter (second layer, reworked):
- _probe_once returns tri-state alive|hung|inconclusive; only a hung
sidecar HTTP call counts toward the respawn counter — inconclusive
resets nothing and triggers nothing.
- default probe_interval_seconds 60 -> 600 (conservative; avoid restart
storms on quiet lines).
- _monitor_sidecar_health surfaces zombieSuspected from /healthz as a
warning; the fatal UPSTREAM_STREAM_DEGRADED path is unchanged and fires
when the sidecar escalates.
Tests: test_zombie_stream_watchdog.py executes the real node decision
module and drives the adapter against mocked /healthz responses;
test_presence_watchdog.py updated for the tri-state probe.
Also adds contributor mappings for nickkarhan (#53283) and vaibhavjnf
(#45580).
spectrum-ts's live-stream consumer (consumeLive in spectrum-ts 3.x) only
reconnects when its inbound async iterator throws or ends. A half-open
("zombie") gRPC socket — where the TCP connection stays ESTABLISHED but the
peer is gone (NAT idle-timeout, network blip, laptop sleep) — makes the
iterator hang forever: no error, no end. The SDK exposes no gRPC keepalive
knob (createClient takes only {address, tls, token}; grpc.keepalive_time_ms
defaults to -1 = pings off), so the inbound stream silently dies and stays
dead until the gateway is restarted. Symptom: the agent's iMessage line goes
"online but deaf" — Photon's cloud-side fallback answers users with "the agent
isn't online right now" and inbound never reaches the gateway.
Fix, entirely in the code we own (no SDK fork):
- Sidecar gains a POST /probe endpoint that drives a cheap unary read
(space.getMessage on a synthetic id) over the SAME gRPC channel the inbound
stream uses. A live channel round-trips in ms (server returns not-found,
which is success for liveness); a zombie hangs. It sends nothing to any user
and creates no chat (space.get is local in shared/dedicated mode; only the
message read touches the wire).
- The adapter runs a presence watchdog: it probes on an interval, skips the
probe when natural inbound traffic already proved liveness within the
window, and after N consecutive failed probes respawns the sidecar — a fresh
Spectrum() re-subscribes the stream and re-registers presence. Successful
probes double as application-level keepalive, helping prevent the zombie
from forming at all. Respawn is lock-guarded against double-spawn and the
watchdog is torn down cleanly on disconnect.
Behavioural settings live in config.yaml (extra), bridged to env per the
.env-is-secrets-only convention:
probe_interval_seconds (60), probe_timeout_seconds (10),
probe_max_failures (3). A non-positive interval disables the watchdog.
Tests: tests/plugins/platforms/photon/test_presence_watchdog.py covers config
resolution, the disable switch, probe alive/dead(500)/timeout/no-client, the
core N-failures->one-respawn detection, success-resets-failures, stop-then-
start respawn ordering, and lock-guarding — all without spawning Node or
hitting the network.

Follow-up to the #48194 pick: it was written before #43665 landed and
re-added its own /send-poll sidecar route and poll import. Collapse the
duplicates:
- keep #43665's /send-poll route (>=2 trimmed string options) as the
single sidecar implementation; drop #48194's variant
- drop the duplicated poll import in the sidecar destructure
- make adapter.send_poll() a thin wrapper over _sidecar_send_poll(), the
one /send-poll client (shared with the poll-backed clarify path), and
align its validation to the sidecar's >=2-options contract
The `clarify` tool's multiple-choice prompts flattened to a numbered text
list on Photon/iMessage, even though iMessage has a native poll bubble and
spectrum-ts already exposes it via the `poll()` content builder. Two gaps
caused the flattening:
* Outbound: the sidecar only had `/send` (text); there was no way to send
a poll, so the base adapter's numbered-text fallback was used.
* Inbound: `normalizeContent()` handled only text/attachment/voice, so a
poll vote (`poll_option`) was dropped on the floor ("[Photon content
type not handled: poll_option]") and never resolved the clarify.
Fix, end to end:
* Sidecar: import `poll` from spectrum-ts; add a `/send-poll` route
(`space.send(poll(title, ...options))`); serialize inbound `poll_option`
(the vote: chosen title + selected bool) and `poll` content in
`normalizeContent()`.
* Adapter: override `send_clarify` — for choices, send a native poll via
`_sidecar_send_poll` and call `mark_awaiting_text` so the gateway's
existing pending-clarify text-intercept resolves the answer; open-ended
clarifies keep the plain-text path. Inbound `poll_option` selections are
dispatched as a plain-text MessageEvent carrying the chosen option
(deselections / empty votes are dropped). If the poll send fails (an
older sidecar without `/send-poll`, or a send error) it falls back to the
numbered-text clarify, so nothing regresses on a half-upgraded restart.
No new model tool, no new env var, no core change — the capability lives at
the platform edge. The poll vote reuses the existing clarify text-intercept
resolution path, so no new gateway resolution mechanism is introduced.
Tests: tests/plugins/platforms/photon/test_poll_clarify.py — inbound vote ->
choice text, deselection/empty-vote dropped, send_clarify sends a poll +
enables text-capture, open-ended stays text, and poll-failure falls back to
the text list. Full photon suite green.

Maintainer follow-up to the #51193 salvage:
- _send_with_retry: permanent classes (auth_or_config, target_not_allowed)
now short-circuit BEFORE the unconditional plain-text fallback resend,
including when a retry attempt surfaces one — no more double-sends of
permanently-failing requests.
- sidecar classifySidecarError: new structured code target_not_allowed for
Spectrum's 'Target not allowed for this project' AuthenticationError
(shared/free-tier lines cannot initiate outbound sends to new targets).
Classification applies to every handler sharing the catch-all
serverError path (/send, /send-attachment, /react, /typing, ...).
- _standalone_send now parses the structured error body too (it reads
sidecar responses independently of _sidecar_call) and returns
error_class/retryable alongside the message.
- target_not_allowed maps to a canonical user-facing message in both
paths; raw upstream error text never leaks through the structured code.
Closes the actionable halves of #50971, #51897, #52794.
Photon's Node sidecar intentionally hides raw handler exceptions, but the Python adapter still needs a safe failure class and retryability bit so delivery retries do not collapse into an opaque generic 500.
Constraint: Sidecar responses must not leak raw stack traces or private exception text
Rejected: Retry every internal sidecar error | masks permanent auth/config failures
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep sidecar error text generic; extend safe error classes instead of exposing raw SDK failures

Not-tested: Live Photon/Spectrum delivery against a real iMessage account
Related: #50971
`PhotonAdapter._start_sidecar` is `async`, but it ran the Spectrum
mixed-attachment patch script with a bare `subprocess.run(...)`: it spawns
node and *waits* for it, with `timeout=10`. Executed inline that holds the
shared gateway event loop for the whole window, so no other platform's
messages, heartbeats, or sessions are serviced until it returns.
The same function already establishes this exact invariant twenty lines
above, where the stale-dependency reinstall hops to a worker thread:
# Runs off the event loop so a cold install can't freeze every other
# platform's traffic.
if _sidecar_deps_stale():
await asyncio.to_thread(_reinstall_sidecar_deps)
The patch spawn never got the same treatment. It is not startup-only
either — `_start_sidecar` is called from `connect()`, which takes
`is_reconnect`, so an ordinary Photon reconnect (network blip, sidecar
death) re-runs it and stalls a live gateway that is actively serving
Discord/Telegram/Slack traffic.
Dispatch it via `asyncio.to_thread` like its sibling. Same off-the-loop
class as the inbound-image decision (#66688) and the cron-fire verifier.
Adds a regression test asserting the spawn executes on a worker thread
rather than the loop thread.
`_reap_stale_sidecar` is `async`, but it identified the processes holding
the sidecar port with two blocking helpers called inline:
* `_find_listener_pids` -> `subprocess.run(["lsof", ...], timeout=5.0)`
* `_pid_is_sidecar` -> `subprocess.run(["ps", ...], timeout=5.0)`, once
per candidate pid
so the inspection can hold the shared gateway loop for 5 + 5·N seconds
while nothing else on it is serviced. It only runs once the /healthz probe
finds something already listening — the orphaned-sidecar recovery path —
and `_reap_stale_sidecar` is awaited from `_start_sidecar`, which runs on
every reconnect (`connect(is_reconnect=True)`). The stall therefore lands
on a live gateway that is still serving every other platform, right when a
crashed sidecar has already left an orphan behind.
Move the whole inspection to one `asyncio.to_thread` hop (one hop rather
than N+1 round trips). The reaping semantics are untouched: SIGTERM for
verified orphans, SIGKILL escalation, and both foreign-listener
RuntimeErrors behave exactly as before.
Same off-the-loop class as the inbound-image decision (#66688) and the
cron-fire verifier.
Adds a regression test asserting both the lsof lookup and the per-pid ps
check execute on a worker thread rather than the loop thread.
Follow-up widening of the #73170 pattern: apply the same
asyncio.current_task() guard used for the health task (and now the
supervisor task in _stop_sidecar) to the inbound-task cancel path in
disconnect(), so an inbound task that triggers disconnect() cannot
cancel-and-await itself.
Fixes#73159.
When the Photon sidecar exits unexpectedly, _supervise_sidecar()
(running as self._sidecar_supervisor_task) correctly detects
SIDECAR_CRASHED and calls self._notify_fatal_error(). The Gateway's
fatal-error handler answers that by calling adapter.disconnect(),
which calls _stop_sidecar() -- from INSIDE the very task that's
currently executing this whole chain.
_stop_sidecar()'s cleanup unconditionally cancelled
self._sidecar_supervisor_task. Cancelling the currently-running task
raises CancelledError at its own next await point (inside
_notify_fatal_error() or _stop_sidecar() itself). Since
asyncio.CancelledError inherits from BaseException (not Exception),
the Gateway's `except Exception` guards around the fatal-error handler
don't catch it -- the handler aborts before ever reaching the
"queue platform for background reconnection" step. Photon then stays
permanently in `retrying` state until the whole process is manually
restarted, even though detection worked correctly and the underlying
transient upstream outage had long since recovered.
Fix: in _stop_sidecar()'s cleanup, check whether
self._sidecar_supervisor_task is asyncio.current_task() before
cancelling it. A task cannot legally cancel itself in any useful way
anyway (the cancellation only takes effect at its own next await,
which is exactly the corruption described above) -- when we're inside
the supervisor's own call stack, it's already in the process of
finishing on its own once _notify_fatal_error() returns, so skip the
cancel and just clear the reference.
This mirrors an existing precedent in the same file: disconnect()
already guards its OTHER task-cancellation (self._sidecar_health_task)
the same way (`if task is not asyncio.current_task()`), just not the
supervisor task in _stop_sidecar().
Per the issue's own note that existing tests mock out
_notify_fatal_error() entirely (so this integration chain was never
exercised), added two tests that drive the REAL chain: one runs
_supervise_sidecar() as an actual asyncio task with a real
_notify_fatal_error() that calls the real disconnect() -> _stop_sidecar(),
confirming the task completes without CancelledError and that the
post-disconnect reconnect-queue step actually executes; a second
confirms the OTHER call path (external cleanup, a different task)
still correctly cancels a running supervisor exactly as before.
Reverting only the adapter.py fix (keeping the new test) reproduces
the exact CancelledError from the bug report, confirming this is a
genuine regression test.
2 new tests pass; 113/113 in the full tests/plugins/platforms/photon/
directory (no regression to sidecar lifecycle, overflow recovery, or
health-monitoring behavior).
Follow-up to #69112. That PR hardened the shared gateway dispatch path in
gateway/run.py against the *caller* being cancelled. A second, self-referential
cancellation specific to PhotonAdapter sits one layer underneath it and survived
that fix.
PhotonAdapter is the only platform adapter that awaits _notify_fatal_error()
inline, on the same task that detected the fault. Both _monitor_sidecar_health
and _supervise_sidecar run as self._sidecar_health_task /
self._sidecar_supervisor_task, and the notification routes into
GatewayRunner._handle_adapter_fatal_error_impl, which tears the adapter down via
_safe_adapter_disconnect -> disconnect(). disconnect() then cancels
self._sidecar_health_task and awaits it -- which, when the health task is what
raised the notification, means disconnect() cancels its own caller several
plain-await frames up.
disconnect()'s `task is not asyncio.current_task()` guard does not catch this.
The current task where that guard evaluates is the wrapper
_await_adapter_cleanup_with_timeout creates around disconnect() via
asyncio.ensure_future, not the health task further up the chain, so the guard
passes and the cancel lands.
CancelledError stopped subclassing Exception in Python 3.8, so the
`except Exception` that wrapped the inline notify call never saw it. The health
task died silently mid-handoff: no log line, no "exception never retrieved"
warning (cancellation is normal asyncio), and no retry. The platform stayed
stranded until the gateway was restarted by hand.
Fix: dispatch the notification onto a new task, the same pattern
DiscordAdapter._handle_bot_task_done already uses for this reason. disconnect()
can then cancel the health/supervisor task freely without that cancellation
reaching the code still running the handoff, so the handoff always reaches the
reconnect queue. Both Photon fatal call sites are converted: the health-poll
path (observed wedging) and the sidecar-crash path (same shape, not yet
observed). gateway/run.py is untouched.
Observed twice on a self-hosted gateway, ~4h38m and ~52min of silent inbound
outage, both cleared only by a manual restart, both post-dating #69112's merge.
In each case the fatal log line appears and `queued for background reconnection`
never does.
Tests: new tests/plugins/platforms/photon/test_fatal_notify_self_cancel.py
covers the self-cancellation (fails with CancelledError without this change),
that the dispatch does not block its caller, that a failing notification warns
rather than raising, and a source guard against reintroducing either inline
await. Two assertions in test_overflow_recovery.py that drove these coroutines
directly now drain pending tasks before asserting delivery, since the
notification is deliberately no longer awaited inline.
Prepared with agent assistance and reviewed before submission.

Two independent cross-PR collisions red on main (slice 8/8):
1. fd4f756492 (salvaged from stale #54514) added an early 'drop U+FFFC
placeholder' return at the top of _dispatch_inbound — written before
the deferred-wait handler (6b91b50c6e/afab7ed46e) existed further
down the same function. The early return shadowed it: _pending_fffc
never populated, no attachment-timeout tracking, 4 tests red. Remove
the duplicate block; the deferred handler already drops the
placeholder AND tracks/cancels/warns.
2. 9cf2046081 tightened sidecar_deps_installed() to require
node_modules/spectrum-ts, but test_runtime_record's _patch_spawn
fixture still created only bare node_modules/ — 2 tests red. Mirror
a real completed install.
tests/plugins/platforms/photon: 164/164 after; 158/164 before.
The sidecar auth token is generated at spawn (secrets.token_hex) and
existed only in the gateway process memory + sidecar child env, so
_standalone_send from cron subprocesses, hermes send, or the dashboard
structurally could not authenticate (#69960).
The adapter now writes <hermes-home>/runtime/photon-sidecar.json
({port, token, pid}, 0600, atomic tempfile+os.replace) once the sidecar
passes its /healthz readiness check, and deletes it in _stop_sidecar,
on every startup-failure path, and at disconnect so a stale record
never outlives a dead sidecar. _standalone_send falls back to the
record when PHOTON_SIDECAR_TOKEN is unset, validating the recorded pid
is alive first; a stale record yields a clear 'gateway appears to be
down' error. Docs note the gateway-must-be-running requirement and the
Photon-side shared-line initiation policy (#51897).
All Photon sidecar HTTP requests target 127.0.0.1 — they should
never be routed through a system HTTP proxy. When trust_env=True
(the default), httpx picks up macOS system proxy settings and
routes localhost requests through the proxy. If the proxy returns
a spurious response (e.g. 502), _reap_stale_sidecar() interprets
it as 'port in use by a non-sidecar process' and refuses to start,
yielding: 'pids: unknown, not a Photon sidecar'.
Set trust_env=False on all five httpx.AsyncClient call sites in
the Photon adapter so localhost sidecar communication bypasses
the system proxy entirely.
Addresses teknium1 review on #50983:
- cli.py's `hermes photon status` and adapter.py's _start_sidecar() still
used the old node_modules/-existence check while check_requirements()
had moved to a spectrum-ts content check. Extracted the check into a
shared sidecar_deps_installed(), used by all three, so an
empty/partial node_modules/ (aborted npm install) is rejected
consistently instead of only in check_requirements().
- _install_sidecar()'s success-path _NPM_ERROR_LOG.unlink() only caught
FileNotFoundError, so a PermissionError/OSError on a locked file would
propagate. Broadened to OSError.
- npm stderr was truncated only when read back in check_requirements();
an unbounded stderr was written to disk on every failed install. Now
truncated to _NPM_ERROR_LOG_MAX_CHARS before write_text().

Problema
--------
Quando o npm install do sidecar Photon falhava, o Hermes descartava toda
evidencia e continuava normalmente - deixando o adapter de iMessage
silenciosamente ausente, sem nenhuma mensagem de erro acionavel.
Tres falhas independentes formavam o caminho de falha silenciosa:
1. check_requirements() sem logging
Cada branch de return False retornava sem emitir nenhum log. O core em
platform_registry.py so consome o bool de check_fn() e loga uma mensagem
generica com o install_hint - sem acesso ao motivo real da falha.
if not HTTPX_AVAILABLE: return False # sem log
if not shutil.which(node): return False # sem log
if not node_modules.exists: return False # sem log
2. node_modules/ parcialmente criado passava o guard (Risk 2)
npm cria node_modules/ antes de abortar em ENOSPC, timeout de rede ou
EACCES. O diretorio existia, check_requirements() retornava True (falso
positivo), o adapter era registrado, e o crash acontecia em runtime com
um erro de modulo ausente aparentemente nao relacionado ao setup.
3. stderr do npm descartado (Risk 3)
subprocess.run sem stderr=PIPE. O output de erro aparecia no terminal
durante o setup e sumia depois - diagnostico impossivel em CI/CD, Docker,
VPS headless, e qualquer reinstalacao posterior.
Correcoes
---------
adapter.py - check_requirements() agora loga por branch:
- httpx ausente -> logger.warning com nome do pacote
- node nao no PATH -> logger.warning com nome do binario e env var
- spectrum-ts ausente -> logger.debug com path do sidecar + ultimo erro npm
(DEBUG nao WARNING: estado normal pre-setup; check_fn() e chamado de
5 hot paths do core incluindo polling do /api/status)
adapter.py - content check em vez de existence check (Risk 2):
antes: if not (_SIDECAR_DIR / node_modules).exists()
depois: if not (_SIDECAR_DIR / node_modules / spectrum-ts).exists()
spectrum-ts e a unica dependencia do package.json. Checar sua presenca
garante que instalacao parcial/abortada e detectada no boot do gateway,
nao na primeira mensagem recebida via gRPC.
cli.py - stderr capturado e persistido (Risk 3):
subprocess.run passa agora stderr=subprocess.PIPE, text=True em ambas as
chamadas (npm ci e npm install fallback). O stderr capturado e:
- impresso em sys.stderr imediatamente (output visivel no terminal)
- persistido em _NPM_ERROR_LOG = sidecar/.photon-npm-error.log se
returncode != 0, limitado a 300 chars
- apagado de _NPM_ERROR_LOG se returncode == 0 (evita erro stale)
check_requirements() le _NPM_ERROR_LOG quando spectrum-ts esta ausente e
inclui o conteudo no DEBUG log - o erro do npm sobrevive ao terminal, ao
restart do gateway e a reinicializacao da maquina.
sidecar/.gitignore - adicionado node_modules/ e .photon-npm-error.log.
Isolamento - sem impacto no core:
- check_fn() continua retornando apenas bool; core nao e modificado
- Logging usa namespace plugins.platforms.photon.adapter, isolado de
gateway.* e hermes_cli.*
- Cada plugin tem seu proprio check_requirements() independente
- OSError no write/read de _NPM_ERROR_LOG e silenciado - nunca propaga
Testes - 24/24 passando:
test_check_requirements_risks.py (7 testes):
WARNING emitido quando httpx ausente
WARNING emitido quando node nao no PATH
DEBUG emitido (nao WARNING) quando spectrum-ts ausente, com path
node_modules/ vazio agora retorna False (Risk 2 resolvido)
_NPM_ERROR_LOG escrito no stderr do npm em falha
_NPM_ERROR_LOG apagado apos npm bem-sucedido
erro npm aparece no DEBUG log quando node_modules ausente
test_npm_error_log_regression.py (9 testes - vetores de falha da solucao):
return code contrato intacto (0 em sucesso, nao-zero em falha)
OSError no write do log silenciado, exit code ainda propagado
OSError no read do log silenciado, check_requirements() retorna False
stderr vazio nao cria arquivo de log
proc.stderr=None nao lanca AttributeError
log stale apagado apos reinstall bem-sucedido
DEBUG emitido mesmo sem log de erro (setup pela primeira vez)
Closes#50981
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Photon (iMessage) has no real edit API for already-sent messages. When
streaming completes, the gateway attempts to edit the message to remove
the streaming cursor (▉). Without edit support, this cursor gets stuck
in the final message, corrupting Unicode characters.
This change sets SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING=False on PhotonAdapter, which
causes the gateway to suppress the streaming cursor entirely for this
platform (via _effective_cursor in gateway/run.py). This prevents the
stale tofu square (▉) from appearing in streamed iMessage responses.
Fixes#49253
- Move U+FFFC placeholder detection before _record_last_inbound() so the
placeholder message id is not recorded as the reaction target
- Cancel pending U+FFFC tasks in disconnect() to prevent task leaks
- Check mimeType audio/x-caf in addition to filename for CAF→VOICE promotion,
fixing unnamed attachments that default to '(unnamed)'
- Add 7 Photon adapter tests: CAF named/unnamed promotion, U+FFFC no-dispatch,
U+FFFC not recorded as last inbound, U+FFFC+attachment cancel, timeout fire,
disconnect cleanup
- Add 6 transcription tests: ffmpeg conversion, afconvert fallback, all-fail,
CAF→WAV before Groq, conversion failure error, local provider skip
iMessage's gRPC cloud push fires before CloudKit syncs the attachment
metadata, emitting a U+FFFC placeholder as text. Instead of dispatching
a spurious message, start a non-blocking 15s wait. If the real attachment
arrives, cancel the timeout and process normally. If not, log a warning.
spectrum-ts classifies all inbound attachments as type 'attachment',
never 'voice'. Without this, .caf voice notes are routed as AUDIO or
DOCUMENT and bypass the STT pipeline.

Widen @lEWFkRAD's sidecar-headless fix (PR #54565) to the sibling spawn
sites: the npm ci / npm install self-heal runs in _reinstall_sidecar_deps
also popped a brief console window per run on Windows. Same
windows_hide_flags() helper (CREATE_NO_WINDOW only, so capture_output
stays usable).
plugins/platforms/photon/adapter.py launches the Node sidecar (and the
spectrum-ts mixed-attachment patch run) via subprocess without creationflags.
On Windows this opens a visible console window on every sidecar (re)start --
and because a failed sidecar is retried on a timer, it flashes repeatedly.
Wire windows_hide_flags() (hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat) into both spawns,
the same helper the discord and whatsapp adapters already use for their
sidecar spawns -- photon was the one platform adapter this pattern missed.
CREATE_NO_WINDOW only (no DETACHED_PROCESS) so the persistent sidecar's
stdin/stdout pipes stay usable for the supervisor.

Follow-up to the salvaged #57943: a wedged npm (dead registry, network
blackhole) ran unbounded inside asyncio.to_thread, holding the photon
connect path hostage. Cap npm ci / npm install at 600s; on timeout, log
and leave the stale deps in place so the readiness check reports the
real error and the next reconnect tick retries.
A `hermes update` that bumps the spectrum-ts pin rewrites the Photon
sidecar's package-lock.json but never reinstalls node_modules. The sidecar
then spawns against the old install and the v8 postinstall patch throws
"@spectrum-ts/imessage dist not found", so the gateway retries the photon
platform every 300s forever without ever repairing the deps. Observed in
the wild: a June pin bump to spectrum-ts 8.0.0 left node_modules at 3.1.0,
and inbound/outbound iMessage stayed dead for days with the reconnect loop
faithfully restarting into the identical broken state.
_start_sidecar only checked that node_modules exists, not that it matches
the lockfile, so restart never became repair. Detect the skew with the same
signal npm ci uses: the top-level package-lock.json being newer than npm's
node_modules/.package-lock.json install marker. When stale, reinstall
(npm ci, falling back to npm install) before spawning. The reinstall runs
via asyncio.to_thread so a cold install can't block the event loop and stall
every other platform's traffic; worst case it heals on the next reconnect
tick instead. First-run "deps not installed" behavior is unchanged, and a
missing/unreadable marker fails safe to "not stale" so start is never
blocked.
Reuses the existing npm ci -> npm install fallback from
`hermes photon install-sidecar`. Adds unit tests for the staleness signal
(stale / fresh / missing-marker).
Populate `reply_to_message_id`, `reply_to_text`, and
`reply_to_is_own_message` on reaction events so the gateway injects
`[Replying to your previous message: "..."]` when the agent receives
a tapback.
The sidecar now extracts a capped text preview from the hydrated
reaction target (plain text and mixed group messages; null for
attachment/voice-only targets), emitting it as `targetText` in the
NDJSON reaction payload. The Python adapter reads this field and sets
the reply correlation fields on the `MessageEvent`.
After a prolonged outage the in-process network-error ladder escalates to
fatal and GatewayRunner._platform_reconnect_watcher rebuilds a fresh adapter
that reconnects through the bootstrap path. That path called
start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True), discarding every update Telegram
queued during the outage — all messages sent while the bot was down were
silently lost. The in-process ladder and 409-conflict handler already passed
drop_pending_updates=False; only bootstrap did not distinguish a cold first
boot from a reconnect.
Thread an is_reconnect signal from the watcher through
_connect_adapter_with_timeout into adapter.connect(). The base
BasePlatformAdapter.connect() gains a keyword-only is_reconnect=False so every
adapter inherits a tolerant signature (no per-platform breakage when the
runner forwards the kwarg). Telegram translates is_reconnect into
drop_pending_updates=not is_reconnect on both the polling and webhook bootstrap
calls. Cold boot still drops the stale queue; a watcher reconnect preserves it.
Fixes#46621.

When the Node spectrum-ts sidecar process exited mid-session (crash,
OOM, upstream overflow escalation), _supervise_sidecar returned
silently — readline hit EOF, the log-pump loop broke, and nothing
notified the gateway. _inbound_loop entered an infinite retry loop
against a dead port, _running stayed True, and the adapter remained
in self.adapters with no path to self-recovery short of a manual
gateway restart.
Add a death-detection tail to _supervise_sidecar: after the log-pump
exits (EOF or exception), guard on _inbound_running to distinguish
unexpected death from a deliberate disconnect(). On unexpected exit,
call _set_fatal_error("SIDECAR_CRASHED", retryable=True) followed by
_notify_fatal_error() so the reconnect watcher picks up the platform
within 30 s and retries with exponential backoff (30 s → 300 s cap)
until the sidecar comes back up. All other platforms remain unaffected.
The _inbound_running guard is safe against races: disconnect() sets
_inbound_running = False before _stop_sidecar() cancels the supervisor
task. CancelledError is BaseException, not Exception, so it bypasses
the except clause and propagates normally — the detection block never
runs during a clean shutdown.
Closes#50185
Two independent gaps let a transient Photon/Spectrum upstream overflow
degrade message delivery and amplify gRPC pressure:
1. _is_retryable_error did not recognise Photon- or Envoy-specific error
strings ("internal sidecar error", "upstream connect error",
"reset reason: overflow"), so _send_with_retry fell through to the
plain-text fallback immediately instead of backing off and retrying.
2. send_typing had no rate gate, so a burst of typing-indicator calls
during an overflow event kept hitting the upstream gRPC connection and
widened the failure window.
Fix:
- Add _PHOTON_RETRYABLE_PATTERNS with the three high-specificity Envoy /
sidecar substrings and override _is_retryable_error on PhotonAdapter to
check them after delegating to the base-class patterns. base.py and all
other adapters are untouched.
- Add a 5 s per-chat cooldown in send_typing backed by _typing_last_sent.
stop_typing clears the entry so the next start after a completed turn
fires immediately — only rapid consecutive starts without a stop are
suppressed.
- Reduce PhotonAdapter._send_with_retry default max_retries from 2 to 1
(single 2 s back-off check) — enough to confirm whether the Envoy
circuit-breaker has opened, without adding unnecessary latency.
All changes are scoped to plugins/platforms/photon/adapter.py.
* fix(photon): preserve text in mixed iMessage attachments
When an iMessage bubble carried both text and an attachment, spectrum-ts'
inbound mapper returned only buildAttachmentMessage(...), dropping the user's
typed text before Hermes could see it. The Photon adapter then had no 'group'
content path, so the text was lost entirely.
- adapter.py: handle a new 'group' content type that flattens text + attachment
items, preserving the typed text alongside cached media (extracted shared
_normalize_binary_payload helper).
- sidecar: emit 'group' content in normalizeContent, and ship
patch-spectrum-mixed-attachments.mjs which patches spectrum-ts' pinned mapper
(at npm postinstall AND at sidecar startup, so existing installs self-heal).
Windows robustness fixes on top of the original PR:
- The patcher's CLI guard used 'import.meta.url === file://${argv[1]}', which
never matches on Windows (file:/// + drive letter) — it silently no-opped.
Switched to pathToFileURL(argv[1]).href.
- The patcher matched \n-joined strings, so a CRLF checkout (Windows git
autocrlf) defeated every replacement. It now normalizes CRLF->LF for matching
and restores the original EOL style on write.

Inbound events key the tracker by the DM chat GUID (any;-;+1555...),
but home-channel react calls address the same space by bare E.164 —
normalize both to the phone so add_reaction's last-inbound default
resolves regardless of which form the caller uses (mirrors the
sidecar's phoneTargetFromSpaceId).

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
Prevents "Future attached to a different loop" errors when
_sidecar_call is invoked from a worker thread via _run_async in
send_message_tool. The persistent _http_client remains in use for
the inbound streaming loop, which always runs on the gateway's loop.
A hard gateway exit (crash, SIGKILL, supervisor restart) left the
detached Node sidecar running with a token the next gateway run doesn't
know, so it could never be told to /shutdown. Every replacement spawn
then died on EADDRINUSE, failing each 30→300s reconnect attempt while
the orphan kept consuming the inbound gRPC stream.
Two layers:
- Lifetime binding: the adapter now holds the sidecar's stdin as a
pipe, and the sidecar (PHOTON_SIDECAR_WATCH_STDIN=1) shuts down on
stdin EOF — fired by the OS on any parent death, including SIGKILL.
- Startup reaping: before spawning, the adapter probes the port and
terminates a stale listener, but only after verifying its command
line is a Photon sidecar; a foreign listener raises a clear error
instead of being signalled.

Pin spectrum-ts to exactly 3.0.0 (was ^1.18.0 plus an `npm install
spectrum-ts@latest` on every setup) so breaking SDK majors can't take
down fresh installs silently; `hermes photon setup` now runs `npm ci`.
Upgrade procedure documented in the README.
Migrate resolveSpace to the v3 namespace API: `im.space.create(phone)`
for DMs and `im.space.get(id)` for everything else — group spaces are
now rehydratable from their persisted id after a sidecar restart, which
v1 could not do.
Markdown: replies go out via the v3 `markdown()` builder (iMessage
renders natively; other Spectrum platforms degrade to plain text).
`PHOTON_MARKDOWN=false` reverts to the stripped plain-text path.
Reactions, behind PHOTON_REACTIONS (default off): lifecycle tapbacks
(👀 while processing, 👍/👎 on completion) via new sidecar /react and
/unreact endpoints with per-target reaction-handle tracking, and user
tapbacks on bot-sent messages routed to the agent as synthetic
`reaction:added:<emoji>` events.

* fix(photon): override transitive CVEs in the sidecar deps
`npm audit` flagged 7 high-severity transitive CVEs (protobufjs code injection
GHSA-66ff-xgx4-vchm + outdated @opentelemetry OTLP exporters) pulled in via
spectrum-ts -> @photon-ai/otel. npm's suggested fix downgrades spectrum-ts to a
version that targets the decommissioned spectrum host, so instead pin patched
versions via `overrides` (protobufjs 8.6.1, @opentelemetry/* 0.218.0) without
touching spectrum-ts. `npm audit` -> 0; spectrum-ts + provider still import.
* fix(photon): harden the sidecar bridge + bound the dedup cache
- constant-time sidecar control-token comparison (was `!==`, timing-attackable).
- cap the control-channel request body (2 MiB) so a compromised local peer can't
OOM the sidecar.
- wrap the inbound gRPC stream consumer in a re-subscribe loop with capped
exponential backoff + jitter — if the async iterator throws/ends it would
otherwise stop inbound forever (the adapter dedupes any replay).
- add an unhandledRejection handler so a stray rejection logs instead of killing
the process.
- dedup cache (adapter) was a true bounded LRU only for expired entries; a burst
of unique ids within the window grew it without limit. Evict oldest at the cap.

Extend the sidecar and Python adapter to handle `voice` content
alongside `attachment`. Voice notes are inlined as base64 (same
size-cap logic), surfaced as `MessageType.VOICE`, and include an
optional `duration` field in fallback markers when bytes are
unavailable.
