Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
memories/MEMORY.md is the "§"-delimited store written by MemoryStore, not a
markdown document. parse_existing_memory_entries() fell back to
extract_markdown_entries() -- the *source* parser for CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md --
whenever the destination held no delimiter, which is exactly the case for a
single-entry store or one that was hand-edited or shell-appended. That
extractor skips fenced code blocks, skips table rows, splits a block into one
entry per bullet and reflows paragraphs. The shredded result was then written
straight back over the user's store and reported as "Imported", with no backup
to recover from.
Parse the destination the way MemoryStore._parse_entries does: split on
ENTRY_DELIMITER only, so a store with no delimiter is one intact entry.
extract_markdown_entries() is unchanged and still used on the sources, where
it is correct.
Also restore the safety net the port dropped. The openclaw migration script
this module was ported from calls maybe_backup(destination) before rewriting a
memory store; the port did not. Snapshot the store to <name>.bak.<unix_ts>
(same naming as MemoryStore._backup_drifted_file), refuse to rewrite when the
snapshot fails, and write via temp file + atomic rename so an interrupted
import cannot leave a truncated store and a symlinked MEMORY.md stays a
symlink.
The identical fallback lives in openclaw_to_hermes.py, where it is reached
from migrate_memory() (memories/MEMORY.md and memories/USER.md) and
migrate_daily_memory(); fixed there too.
Maps CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, permission allowlists, MCP servers, skills, and memories into their Hermes equivalents. Follows the openclaw migration pattern. Inspired by ChatGPT Work import-from-another-agent onboarding.
