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.
Wake-ups for kanban notifications and background delegation completions were
injected via handle_message() using a build_session_key()-derived key, which
can never match the raw X-Hermes-Session-Id key that api_server sessions run
under — so the wake landed in a session nobody was reading. On top of that,
ApiServerAdapter.send() reports failure without raising, and that was treated
as a successful delivery, so the notify cursor advanced past events that were
permanently lost; and background delegation was forced synchronous on
api_server since there was no way to wake the session afterward.
Fix: route wake-ups for non-push adapters through a self-post to
/v1/chat/completions with the original session id, treat non-raising send
failures as failures (rewind instead of advancing the cursor), and re-enable
background delegation whenever a session id is available to wake.
The origin session id is captured from the request-scoped api_server chat_id
binding rather than HERMES_SESSION_ID: constructing a child agent calls
set_current_session_id() with the subagent's internal id, clobbering that
variable right before dispatch would read it and misrouting the wake into
the subagent's own session.
