feat(codex-runtime): skip unavailable plugins during migration (#25437)
Followup to PR #24182 — caught when scanning OpenClaw for recent codex
fixes we hadn't considered. OpenClaw learned the hard way (#80815) that
migrating plugins which codex itself reports as unavailable produces
config that fails at activation time.

Our /codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path queries codex's
plugin/list and migrates everything where installed=true. We were
trusting codex's installation state and ignoring its availability
field. So a plugin that's installed=true but availability=UNAVAILABLE
(broken local install) or REQUIRES_AUTH (OAuth expired or never
completed) would get an [plugins."<n>@openai-curated"] entry in
~/.codex/config.toml — and the user's first codex turn after enabling
the runtime would fail because codex refuses to activate it.

Fix: filter on availability in _query_codex_plugins(). Only emit
plugins where availability is empty (older codex versions without the
field — preserve backward compat) or explicitly AVAILABLE.

Tests:
  test_plugin_discovery_skips_unavailable_plugins — verifies 4 cases:
    - good-plugin (installed=True, availability=AVAILABLE) → migrated
    - broken-plugin (installed=True, availability=UNAVAILABLE) → skipped
    - auth-pending (installed=True, availability=REQUIRES_AUTH) → skipped
    - legacy-plugin (installed=True, no availability field) → migrated
      (older codex versions; preserve backward compat)

Docs:
  Added bullet to 'What's NOT migrated' list in the docs page calling
  out the availability filter and why.

Other OpenClaw codex PRs I reviewed but did NOT apply (with reasoning):
  - #81591 (load Codex for selectable models): we resolve runtime
    per-call already, no startup-time gating to fix
  - #81510 (cron compatibility): we documented cron as untested; their
    fix is for OpenClaw-specific cron orchestration shape
  - #81223 (rotate incompatible context-engine threads): we don't
    have a Lossless context engine equivalent
  - #80688 (constrain sandbox): we don't have an outer-sandbox concept
  - #80616 (release on turn_aborted): we already handle status=
    interrupted in turn/completed correctly
  - #80278 (expose activeModel in plugin SDK): not our surface
  - #80792 (default destructive_actions on): we don't expose that knob

56 codex-runtime migration tests still green (+1 new).

Slack platform-blocks native slash commands inside thread replies ("/queue
is not supported in threads. Sorry!") and there is no app-side setting to
re-enable them. As a workaround, rewrite a leading '!' to '/' for any known
gateway command before downstream processing — so '!queue', '!stop',
'!model gpt-5.4' etc. work inside Slack threads (and anywhere else).

Only the first token is checked against is_gateway_known_command(), so
casual messages like '!nice work' pass through to the agent unchanged.
Downstream pipeline (MessageType.COMMAND tagging, gateway dispatcher,
thread reply routing) is unchanged.

Adds 6 tests covering rewrite, args preservation, thread routing,
casual-message passthrough, '@bot' suffix, and plain '/' still-works.

e3fc081499 feat(skills): merge blockchain/base into blockchain/evm; salvage PR #2010
Salvages the closed PR #2010 (Mibayy's EVM multi-chain skill) and folds the
existing optional-skills/blockchain/base/ skill into it, so we ship one
unified EVM skill instead of two overlapping ones.

Pulled in from base/:
  - 8 missing Base-specific tokens (AERO, DEGEN, TOSHI, BRETT, WELL,
    cbETH, cbBTC, wstETH, rETH) added to KNOWN_TOKENS['base'] —
    base/ had 11, evm/ only had 3 (USDC/DAI/WETH).
  - L1 data-fee pitfall note for rollups (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync).
  - Batch-size chunking in rpc_batch (Base RPC caps batches at 10 calls
    per JSON-RPC request; adding more known tokens tripped that limit
    and broke 'wallet --chain base' with a 'list index out of range'
    error). Ported the chunking pattern from base/_rpc_batch_chunk.

Latent bugs found and fixed while smoke-testing the merge:
  - cmd_multichain and cmd_allowance both iterated KNOWN_TOKENS[chain]
    with 'for contract, (symbol, _name) in known.items()' — but the dict
    shape is {symbol: contract_str}, not {addr: (sym, name)}. This raised
    'too many values to unpack (expected 2)' on every non-zero balance.
    Now iterates as 'for symbol, contract in known.items()'.
  - Input validation: added is_valid_address / is_valid_txhash /
    require_address / require_txhash helpers and wired them into
    cmd_wallet, cmd_tx, cmd_token, cmd_activity, cmd_allowance,
    cmd_decode, cmd_contract, cmd_multichain. Fails fast with exit 2
    on malformed input instead of burning an RPC round-trip on garbage.

Documentation:
  - SKILL.md now flags that this skill supersedes optional-skills/blockchain/base.
  - Pitfalls expanded for ENS (single-endpoint dependency on
    ensideas.com), tx decoding (single-endpoint dependency on
    4byte.directory), and rollup L1 fees.
  - Regenerated website/docs/user-guide/skills/optional/blockchain/
    blockchain-evm.md and removed the old blockchain-base.md page;
    catalog updated.

Removed:
  - optional-skills/blockchain/base/SKILL.md
  - optional-skills/blockchain/base/scripts/base_client.py
  - website/docs/user-guide/skills/optional/blockchain/blockchain-base.md

Smoke-tested live against Base mainnet: stats, price, token, wallet
(vitalik.eth — 3.12 ETH + 13.88 USDC + 4.23 DAI + 0.06 WETH on Base)
and allowance (ethereum, 7 unlimited approvals to Uniswap/Permit2).

feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime

Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.

Lands in three pieces:

1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
   for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
   handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
   request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
   reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
   development.

2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
   - Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
   - Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
     end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
     'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
     provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
     rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).

3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
   covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
   case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
   parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
   CLI installed.

This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.

Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)

* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review

The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.

Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
  - userMessage          → {role: user, content}
  - agentMessage         → {role: assistant, content: text}
  - reasoning            → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
  - commandExecution     → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
  - fileChange           → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
  - mcpToolCall          → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
  - dynamicToolCall      → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
  - plan/hookPrompt/etc  → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls

Invariants preserved:
  - Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
    one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
  - Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
    don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
    Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
  - Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
    identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
  - JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.

Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).

23 new tests, all green:
  - Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
  - Turn/thread frame events are silent
  - commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
    deterministic id stability across replays
  - agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
  - fileChange: summary without inlined content
  - mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
  - userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
  - opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
  - Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
  - Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types

This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.

* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge

The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.

The adapter has a single public per-turn method:

    result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
    # result.final_text          → assistant text for the caller
    # result.projected_messages  → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
    # result.tool_iterations     → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
    # result.interrupted         → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
    # result.error               → error string when the turn cannot complete
    # result.turn_id, thread_id  → for sessions DB / resume

Behavior:

  - ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
    issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
  - run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
    requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
    deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
    projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
  - request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
    iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
  - turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
    error if the turn never completes.
  - close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.

Approval bridge:

  Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
  applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
  vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:

    Hermes 'once'                → codex 'approved'
    Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
    Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'

  Routing precedence:
    1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
    2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
       tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
    3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired

  Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
  so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.

Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
    Hermes 'auto'              → codex 'workspace-write'
    Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
    Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'

20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
  - test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
  - test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
  - test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)

Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.

Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.

* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent

The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.

Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):

1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
   Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
   passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.

2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
   Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
   'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
   logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
   and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
   manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
   identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
   flag is off.

3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
   New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
   CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
   turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
   _iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
   loop normally does that per iteration), fires
   _spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.

Counter accounting:

  _turns_since_memory  ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
                         (gated on memory store configured) — codex
                         helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
  _user_turn_count     ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
                         — codex helper does NOT touch it.
  _iters_since_skill   ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
                         tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
                         turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.

User message:

  ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
  before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
  Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.

Approval callback wiring:

  Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
  spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
  prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
  the codex-side fail-closed deny.

Error path:

  Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
  and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
  'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
  /codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
  path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.

9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
  - api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
  - run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
    (final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
  - Projected messages are spliced into messages list
  - _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
  - _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
  - User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
  - _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
  - chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
  - Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
  - Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved

Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
  - tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green

Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)

User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.

Surface:
    /codex-runtime                    — show current state + codex CLI status
    /codex-runtime auto               — Hermes default runtime
    /codex-runtime codex_app_server   — codex subprocess runtime
    /codex-runtime on / off           — synonyms

Files changed:

  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
    Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
    read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
    behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
    they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
    Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
    suits their surface.

  hermes_cli/commands.py:
    Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).

  cli.py:
    Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
    delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.

  gateway/run.py:
    Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
    returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
    that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
    inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
    avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.

  gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
    /codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
    flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.

Tests:
  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
  state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
  synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
  writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
  no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
  and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.

Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
    167/167 green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits

Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml

Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.

The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.

What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env  → codex stdio transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers       → codex streamable_http transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout           → codex tool_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout   → codex startup_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd               → codex stdio cwd
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false    → codex enabled = false

What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
  Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
  equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.

What's NOT migrated (intentional):
  AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
  AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
  it up without translation. No code needed.

Idempotency design:
  All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
  and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
  removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
  codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
  or below.

Files added:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
    helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
    dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
    .skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
    formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
  covering:
    - per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
      enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
    - TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
    - existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
      above, with user content below
    - end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
      re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
      summary formatting

Files changed:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
    the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
    in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
    path (auto) explicitly skips migration.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
    test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
    test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.

All 325 feature tests green:
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
  - tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)

* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()

Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.

Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.

Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.

Two regression-guard tests added:
  - test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
  - test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1

Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test

Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.

Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format

Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
  {"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.

Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.

Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.

Bug 2: server-request method names

Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)

Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.

Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.

Bug 3: approval decision values

Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
  accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).

Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.

Live test verified after fixes:
  $ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
  > Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
    then read it back

  Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
  User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
  read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
  hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.

agent.log confirms:
  codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
                                    cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace

All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs

Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.

Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.

Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
  ✓ thread/start handshake
  ✓ turn/start with text input
  ✓ commandExecution items + projection
  ✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
  ✓ Approve once → command runs
  ✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
  ✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
  ✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
  ✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
  ✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
    'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
  ✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
  ✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
  ✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
  ✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
    even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)

Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
  - delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
  - permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
  - apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
    doesn't expose it)

145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.

* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)

Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)

Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.

Implementation:
  - hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
    helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
    (plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
    'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
  - _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
    [permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
    re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.

Quirk fixes:

#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
   Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
   triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
   'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
   default_permission_profile=None to opt out.

#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
   Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
   Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
   notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
   Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
   'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.

   Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
   server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
   when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
   loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.

#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
   When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
   back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
   '<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.

   Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
   it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.

#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
   New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
   codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
   on. Default banner is unchanged.

Tests:
  - 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
    flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
    enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
    apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
  - All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.

* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration

The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.

Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.

New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
  FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
  through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
  Hermes default runtime. Run with:
    python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]

  Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
    _press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
    _vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
    text_to_speech.

  NOT exposed (deliberately):
    - terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
    - delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
      model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
      as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.

Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
  - _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
    plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
    non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
    AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
    the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
    contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
    default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
    — must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
  - _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
    HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
    Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.

Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
  1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
     for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
     profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
     ':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
     which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
     struct PermissionProfileToml'.
  2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
     rejected  with 'unknown built-in profile'.
  3. Codex's MCP layer sends  for
     tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
     and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
     our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
     the runtime), decline for third-party servers.

Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
  #2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
     approval prompt on every write.
  #4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
     items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
     item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:
     /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of '0 change(s)'.
  #5/#10 exec approval cwd never empty: fall back to session cwd, then
     '<unknown>'. Also surfaces 'reason' from codex when present.
  #11 banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line when active so
     users understand why tool counts may not match what's reachable.

Tests:
  - 5 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
    re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
    approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
  - 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
    hermes-tools, decline others).
  - New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
    surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
    no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.
  - 166 codex-runtime tests total, all green.

Live e2e validated against codex 0.130.0 + ChatGPT subscription:
  ✓ /codex-runtime codex_app_server enables, migrates filesystem MCP,
    registers hermes-tools, writes default_permissions = ':workspace'
  ✓ Banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line in subsequent sessions
  ✓ Shell command runs without approval prompt (workspace profile works)
  ✓ Multi-turn — codex remembers prior turn's results
  ✓ apply_patch path via fileChange request approval
  ✓ web_search via hermes-tools MCP callback returns real Firecrawl
    results: 'OpenAI Codex CLI – Getting Started' end-to-end in 13s
  ✓ Disable cycle clean

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
  Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
  callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
  separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
  reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
  list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.

* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6

Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.

This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.

Now explicitly tested:
  - User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
  - User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
  - Both above + below survive a second re-migration
  - User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
    region is left untouched

Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.

167 codex-runtime tests, all green.

* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find

Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.

Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).

Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:

  1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
     update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
     adjacent.
  2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
     install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
  3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
     web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
     image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.

Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.

Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.

Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.

No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade

Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.

Bug 1: wrong call signature

The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
  messages_snapshot=list   (positional or keyword)
  review_memory=bool       (at least one trigger must be True)
  review_skills=bool

So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.

Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode

The review fork is constructed with:
  api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')

So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.

Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).

Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
  - Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
    being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
  - Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
    counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
  - Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
    review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
  - Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
    that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.

Tests:

  Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
  asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
    - test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
      single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
      caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
    - test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
      10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
      messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
    - test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
      asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
      messages_snapshot

  New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
    - test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
      real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
      asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
      the parent was codex_app_server.

Live-validated against real run_conversation:
  - Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
  - _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
  - review_skills=True, review_memory=False
  - messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
    results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
  - Counter reset to 0 after fire

170 codex-runtime tests, all green.

Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).

* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback

Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.

That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.

Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.

Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.

Tools exposed:
  Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
    kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
  Read-only board queries:
    kanban_show, kanban_list
  Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
    kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link

Tests:
  - test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
    in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
  - test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link

Docs:
  - New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
    kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
  - /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
    approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
    the default :workspace permission profile)
  - Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
    why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
    to the MCP server subprocess
  - Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
    CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
  - Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
    orchestrator

172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).

* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost

Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:

1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
   slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
   the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
   slash command syntax.

2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
   CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
   honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
   propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
   so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
   manually' since it's an internal handoff.

3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
   codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
   task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
   session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
   fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.

   This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
   more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
   subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
   subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
   example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
   model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).

   Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
   auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
   fix earlier in this PR.

No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.

* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME

OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.

Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:

  test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
                                  in the subprocess env
  test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
                                                  arg still isolates
                                                  codex state correctly

Docs additions:

  'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
  contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
  stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
  Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.

  'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
  related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
  want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
  documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.

  Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
  would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
  upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
  Opt-in is safer than surprising users.

174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.

* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write

Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.

Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped

The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.

Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.

Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.

Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic

If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.

Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.

Tests:
  - test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
  - test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
  - test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
  - test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
  - test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
    left over after a successful write
  - test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
    when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)

180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).

Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):

- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
  /codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
  cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
  enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
  migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
  worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
  consistent — only the merge step is racy.

- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
  check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
  the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
  breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
  on CI before users hit it.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends

One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the
image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry,
plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced
through hermes tools.

Surface (one schema, every backend):
- operation: generate / edit / extend
- modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt +
  image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url)
- reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution,
  negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override
- Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via
  VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the
  backend, the agent learns one tool

Backends shipped:
- plugins/video_gen/xai/  — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend +
  image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by
  @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface)
- plugins/video_gen/fal/  — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v,
  Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a
  model doesn't declare

Wiring:
- agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation,
  success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video,
  $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/
- agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list +
  get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml
- hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider()
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in
  hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin,
  config write to video_gen.{provider,model}
- toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset
- tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins
- docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the
  image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated

Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse),
#10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984
(FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin
interface).

* feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities

Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a
static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the
video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions()
time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model.

The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front:
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is
  REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected'
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown
- xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7
  reference_image_urls'
- Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface
  that they need to switch backends via hermes tools'

This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping —
documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is
free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a
mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically.

Tested:
- Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models
  require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side
  rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted
  round-trip
- Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean
  missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches
- 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface /
  text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing
- 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set

* test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema

Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode
from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video,
reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without
prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint
(/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right
payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five
client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt,
extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and
duration/aspect_ratio clamping.

15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing,
modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake
AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload
the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope.

Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations
match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate
'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads:

    Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video
    - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate
    - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16
    - resolution choices: 480p, 720p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images

* feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing

Two design changes per Teknium:

1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video
and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two
modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints
stay out of the unified schema.

2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the
family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether
image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND
'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick
'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest.

Catalog rewritten as families:

    veo3.1            fal-ai/veo3.1                                /  fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    pixverse-v6       fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video             /  fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video
    kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video /  fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video

xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes,
routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no
edit/extend exposure.

Schema changes:
- VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params:
  prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration,
  aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model.
- VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS,
  DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key.
- success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the
  agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.

Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no
'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active
backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads:

    Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6
    - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video
      (pass image_url) - routes automatically
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
    - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier)
    - negative_prompt: supported

Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video
sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image
hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits
image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard.

Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern
as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention.
toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface.

* feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers

Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL:

  Cheap tier:
    ltx-2.3        fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video       / image-to-video
    pixverse-v6    fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video       / image-to-video

  Premium tier:
    veo3.1         fal-ai/veo3.1                          / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    seedance-2.0   bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video   / image-to-video
    kling-v3-4k    fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video
    happy-horse    fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video       / image-to-video

DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane
defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't
explicitly picked a model.

New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video
endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring
image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload
remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url.

Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs:
- LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution
  enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults)
- Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported,
  negative prompts NOT supported per docs
- Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative
- Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s

Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K
start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy
Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green.

Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes
already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing
the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface
without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should
use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available.

* test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality

End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the
actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes
config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then
asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right
payload shape.

Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new
families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get
both modalities tested for free).

Coverage:
- All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases
- xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases
- tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases

For each case, verifies:
- result['success'] is True
- result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise)
- outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint
- text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys
- text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most,
  start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI)

All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every
(provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage.

* feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status

Two changes:

1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in
   the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow —
   most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone
   who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which
   already routes to the provider+model picker.

2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only
   shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without
   FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of
   those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired.

Verified live:
- Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard.
- With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name.
- 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice.

Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative
tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long
wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better.

feat(gateway): wire clarify tool with inline keyboard buttons on Telegram (#24199)
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.

Changes:

- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
  tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
  with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
  slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
  clear_session for boundary cleanup.

- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
  fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
  etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
  bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
  non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
  of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
  deadlock fix from PR #4926.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
  inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
  handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
  mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
  approvals.

- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
  callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
  hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
  via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
  returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
  the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
  intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
  (skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
  to cancel any orphan entries.

- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.

- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
  section.

Tests:

- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
  coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
  None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
  ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.

- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
  paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
  callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
  unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.

Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes #24191.

feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch (#24168)
* feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch

Wire ~26 language servers (pyright, gopls, rust-analyzer, typescript-language-server,
clangd, bash-language-server, ...) into the post-write lint check used by write_file
and patch. The model now sees type errors, undefined names, missing imports, and
project-wide semantic issues introduced by its edits, not just syntax errors.

LSP is gated on git workspace detection: when the agent's cwd or the file being
edited is inside a git worktree, LSP runs against that workspace; otherwise the
existing in-process syntax checks are the only tier. This keeps users on
user-home cwds (Telegram/Discord gateway chats) from spawning daemons.

The post-write check is layered: in-process syntax check first (microseconds),
then LSP semantic diagnostics second when syntax is clean. Diagnostics are
delta-filtered against a baseline captured at write start, so the agent only
sees errors its edit introduced. A flaky/missing language server can never
break a write -- every LSP failure path falls back silently to the syntax-only
result.

New module agent/lsp/ split into:

- protocol.py: Content-Length JSON-RPC framer + envelope helpers
- client.py: async LSPClient (spawn, initialize, didOpen/didChange,
  ContentModified retry, push/pull diagnostic stores)
- workspace.py: git worktree walk-up + per-server NearestRoot resolver
- servers.py: registry of 26 language servers (extension match,
  root resolver, spawn builder per language)
- install.py: auto-install dispatch (npm install --prefix, go install
  with GOBIN, pip install --target) into HERMES_HOME/lsp/bin/
- manager.py: LSPService (per-(server_id, root) client registry, lazy
  spawn, broken-set, in-flight dedupe, sync facade for tools layer)
- reporter.py: <diagnostics> block formatter (severity-1-only, 20-per-file)
- cli.py: hermes lsp {status,list,install,install-all,restart,which}

Wired into tools/file_operations.py:

- write_file/patch_replace now call _snapshot_lsp_baseline before write
- _check_lint_delta gains a third tier: LSP semantic diagnostics when
  syntax is clean
- All LSP code paths swallow exceptions; write_file's contract unchanged

Config: 'lsp' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with enabled (default true),
wait_mode, wait_timeout, install_strategy (default 'auto'), and per-server
overrides (disabled, command, env, initialization_options).

Tests: tests/agent/lsp/ -- 49 tests covering protocol framing (encode and
read_message round-trip, EOF/truncation/missing Content-Length), workspace
gate (git walk-up, exclude markers, fallback to file location), reporter
(severity filter, max-per-file cap, truncation), service-level delta filter,
and an in-process mock LSP server that exercises the full client lifecycle
including didChange version bumps, dedup, crash recovery, and idempotent
teardown.

Live E2E verified end-to-end through ShellFileOperations: pyright
auto-installed via npm into HERMES_HOME, baseline captured, type error
introduced, single delta diagnostic surfaced with correct line/column/code/
source, then patch fix removes the diagnostic from the output.

Docs: new website/docs/user-guide/features/lsp.md page covering supported
languages, configuration knobs, performance characteristics, and
troubleshooting; cli-commands.md updated with the 'hermes lsp' reference;
sidebar updated.

* feat(lsp): structured logging, backend gate, defensive walk caps

Cherry-picks the substantive ideas from #24155 (different scope, same
problem space) onto our PR.

agent/lsp/eventlog.py (new): dedicated structured logger
``hermes.lint.lsp`` with steady-state silence. Module-level dedup sets
keep a 1000-write session at exactly ONE INFO line ("active for
<root>") at the default INFO threshold; clean writes log at DEBUG so
they never reach agent.log under normal config. State transitions
(server starts, no project root for a file, server unavailable) fire
at INFO/WARNING once per (server_id, key); novel events (timeouts,
unexpected errors) fire WARNING per call. Grep recipe: ``rg 'lsp\\['``.

agent/lsp/manager.py: wire the eventlog into _get_or_spawn and
get_diagnostics_sync so users can answer "did LSP fire on this edit?"
with a single grep, plus surface "binary not on PATH" warnings once
instead of silently retrying every write.

tools/file_operations.py: backend-type gate. ``_lsp_local_only()``
returns False for non-local backends (Docker / Modal / SSH /
Daytona); ``_snapshot_lsp_baseline`` and ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics``
now skip entirely on remote envs. The host-side language server
can't see files inside a sandbox, so this prevents pretending to
lint a file the host process can't open.

agent/lsp/protocol.py: 8 KiB cap on the header block in
``read_message``. A pathological server that streams headers
without ever emitting CRLF-CRLF would have looped forever consuming
bytes; now raises ``LSPProtocolError`` instead.

agent/lsp/workspace.py: 64-step cap on ``find_git_worktree`` and
``nearest_root`` upward walks, plus try/except containment around
``Path(...).resolve()`` and child ``.exists()`` calls. Defensive
against pathological inputs (symlink loops, encoding errors,
permission failures mid-walk) — the lint hook is hot-path code and
must never raise.

Tests:
- tests/agent/lsp/test_eventlog.py: 18 tests covering steady-state
  silence (clean writes stay DEBUG), state-transition INFO-once
  semantics (active for, no project root), action-required
  WARNING-once (server unavailable), per-call WARNING (timeouts,
  spawn failures), and the "1000 clean writes => 1 INFO" contract.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_backend_gate.py: 5 tests verifying
  _lsp_local_only / snapshot_baseline / maybe_lsp_diagnostics skip
  the LSP layer for non-local backends and route correctly for
  LocalEnvironment.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_protocol.py: new test_read_message_rejects_runaway_header
  exercising the 8 KiB cap.

Validation:
- 73/73 LSP tests pass (49 original + 18 eventlog + 5 backend-gate + 1 framer cap)
- 198/198 pass when run alongside existing file_operations tests
- Live E2E re-run with pyright still surfaces "ERROR [2:12] Type
  ... reportReturnType (Pyright)" through the full path, then patch
  fix removes it on the next call.

* feat(lsp): atexit cleanup + separate lsp_diagnostics JSON field

Two improvements salvaged from #24414's plugin-form alternative,
keeping our core-integrated design:

1. atexit cleanup of spawned language servers
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   ``agent/lsp/__init__.get_service`` now registers an ``atexit``
   handler on first creation that tears down the LSPService on
   Python exit.  Without this, every ``hermes chat`` exit was
   leaking pyright/gopls/etc. processes for a few seconds while
   their stdout buffers drained -- they got reaped by the kernel
   eventually but a watchful ``ps aux`` would catch them.

   The handler runs once per process (gated by
   ``_atexit_registered``); idempotent ``shutdown_service``
   ensures double-fire is a no-op.  Errors during shutdown are
   swallowed at debug level since by the time atexit fires the
   user has already seen the agent's final response.

2. Separate ``lsp_diagnostics`` field on WriteResult / PatchResult
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   Previously the LSP layer folded its diagnostic block into the
   ``lint.output`` string, conflating the syntax-check tier with
   the semantic tier.  The agent (and any downstream parsers) now
   read syntax errors and semantic errors as independent signals:

       {
         "bytes_written": 42,
         "lint": {"status": "ok", "output": ""},
         "lsp_diagnostics": "<diagnostics file=...>\nERROR [2:12] ..."
       }

   ``_check_lint_delta`` returns to its original two-tier shape
   (syntax check + delta filter); ``write_file`` and
   ``patch_replace`` independently fetch LSP diagnostics via
   ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics`` and pass them into the new field.
   ``patch_replace`` propagates the inner write_file's
   ``lsp_diagnostics`` so the outer PatchResult carries the patch's
   delta correctly.

Tests: 19 new
- tests/agent/lsp/test_lifecycle.py (8 tests): atexit registration
  fires once and only once across N get_service calls; the
  registered callable is our internal shutdown wrapper;
  shutdown_service is idempotent and safe when never started;
  exceptions during shutdown are swallowed; inactive service is
  cached so we don't rebuild on every check.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_diagnostics_field.py (11 tests): WriteResult
  / PatchResult dataclass shape, to_dict include/omit semantics,
  channel separation (lint and lsp_diagnostics carry independent
  signals), write_file populates the field via
  _maybe_lsp_diagnostics only when the syntax tier is clean,
  patch_replace propagates the field forward from its internal
  write_file.

Validation:
- 92/92 LSP tests pass (73 prior + 8 lifecycle + 11 diagnostics field)
- 217/217 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Live E2E reverified: clean writes -> both fields empty/none; type
  error introduced -> lint clean (parses), lsp_diagnostics carries
  the pyright reportReturnType block; patch fix -> both fields
  clean again.

* fix(lsp): broken-set short-circuit so a wedged server isn't paid every write

Discovered while auditing failure paths: a language server binary that
hangs (sleep forever, no LSP traffic on stdin/stdout) caused EVERY
subsequent write to re-pay the 8s snapshot_baseline timeout. Five
writes = ~64s of dead time.

The bug: ``_get_or_spawn`` adds the (server_id, root) pair to
``_broken`` inside its inner exception handler, but when the OUTER
``_loop.run`` timeout fires, it cancels the inner task before that
handler runs. The pair never makes it to broken-set, so the next
write re-enters the spawn path and re-pays the timeout.

Fix:

- New ``_mark_broken_for_file`` helper at the service layer marks
  the (server_id, workspace_root) pair broken from the OUTSIDE when
  the outer timeout fires. Called from the except branches in
  ``snapshot_baseline``, ``get_diagnostics_sync`` (asyncio.TimeoutError
  + generic Exception). Also kills any orphan client process that
  survived the cancelled future, fire-and-forget with a 1s ceiling.

- ``enabled_for`` now consults the broken-set BEFORE returning True.
  Files in already-broken (server_id, root) pairs short-circuit to
  False, so the file_operations layer skips the LSP path entirely
  with no spawn cost. Until the service is restarted (``hermes lsp
  restart``) or the process exits.

- A single eventlog WARNING is emitted on first mark-broken so the
  user knows which server gave up. Subsequent edits in the same
  project stay silent.

Tests: 7 new in tests/agent/lsp/test_broken_set.py — covers the
key shape (server_id, per_server_root), enabled_for short-circuit,
sibling-file skip in same project, project isolation (broken in
A doesn't affect B), graceful no-op for missing-server / no-workspace,
and an end-to-end test that snapshots after a failure and verifies
the next ``enabled_for`` returns False.

Validation:

- Live retest of the wedged-binary scenario: 5 sequential writes,
  first 8.88s (the one snapshot timeout), subsequent four ~0.84s
  (no LSP cost). Down from 5x12.85s = 64s before this fix.
- 99/99 LSP tests pass (92 prior + 7 broken-set)
- 224/224 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Happy path E2E reverified — clean write, type error introduced,
  patch fix all behave correctly with the new broken-set logic.

Note: the FIRST write to a wedged binary still pays 8s (the
snapshot_baseline timeout). We could shorten that, but pyright/
tsserver normally take 2-3s and slow CI rust-analyzer can need
5+ seconds, so 8s is the conservative ceiling. Subsequent writes
are instant.

docs(camofox): expand externally-managed sessions section (#24584)
Adds behavior detail to the existing 'Externally managed Camofox sessions'
subsection in features/browser.md:

- Three-row settings table (config key + env var + effect).
- 'What changes when user_id is set' — soft-cleanup behavior, why
  DELETE /sessions/<user_id> is skipped.
- 'How tab adoption works' — 4-step lookup against GET /tabs, listItemId
  matching, fallback to new-tab creation, no mid-run re-polling.
- Picking session_key: how to attach to a specific existing tab vs
  share-profile-only behavior with the default per-task session_key.
- Concurrency note that Camofox does not arbitrate per-tab focus.

feat(agent): per-turn file-mutation verifier footer (#24498)
Detect when write_file / patch calls fail during a turn and are never
superseded by a successful write to the same path.  When the final
text response is delivered, append an advisory footer listing the
files that did NOT change — so models that over-claim 'patched 5 files'
after 4 silent failures can't hide the lie.

Catches the failure mode reported in Ben Eng's llm-wiki session:
grok-4.1-fast issued batches of parallel patches, half failed with
'Could not find old_string', and the agent summarised the turn
claiming every file was edited.  The user had to manually run
'git status' each turn to catch it.

The verifier is a pure post-hoc check on tool results — no new LLM
calls, no synthetic messages injected into history (prompt cache
preserved), no changes to tool argument dispatch.  Per-turn state is
keyed by path; a later successful write to the same path clears the
failure entry so single-file retry recovery is not flagged.

Wired into both _execute_tool_calls_concurrent and
_execute_tool_calls_sequential, so batched parallel patches and one-at-
a-time edits are both covered.  Footer emission happens after the
agent loop exits, before transform_llm_output / post_llm_call plugin
hooks run, so plugins still see (and can modify) the augmented text.

Config: display.file_mutation_verifier (bool, default true) +
HERMES_FILE_MUTATION_VERIFIER env override.

31 unit tests in tests/run_agent/test_file_mutation_verifier.py cover
target extraction (write_file, patch-replace, patch-v4a single and
multi-file), error-preview extraction (JSON .error field and plain
string), per-turn state transitions (first-error-wins on repeated
failure, success supersedes failure), footer rendering (truncation
at 10 entries, user-actionable hint), and env/config precedence.

Companion docs updated: user-guide/configuration.md +
reference/environment-variables.md.

feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback (#24220)
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback

Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.

# What this PR makes true

1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
   detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
   they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
   a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
   extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
   lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
   eagerly pulling everything at install time.

# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py

- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
  mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
  dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
  the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
  re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
  * hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
  * hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
  * cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
    stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
  * gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log

# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py

- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
  memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
  uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
  pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
  HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
  * tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
  * plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
  * tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
    restores mistralai

# Installer fallback tiers

scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:

- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
  array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
  PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
  landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
  the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.

Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).

# Config

hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: []  (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True  (security gate for ensure())

No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.

# Tests

tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
  gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant

tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
  every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
  pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command

Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.

# Validation

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py → 63/63 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py
  tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor_command_install.py
  tests/tools/test_tts_mistral.py tests/tools/test_transcription_tools.py
  tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py → 165/165 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/ tests/tools/ →
  9191 passed, 8 pre-existing failures (verified on origin/main
  before this change)
- bash -n on install.sh and setup-hermes.sh → OK
- py_compile on all modified .py files → OK
- End-to-end smoke test of detect_compromised + render_doctor_section
  + gateway_log_message with mocked installed version → produces
  copy-pasteable remediation output

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)

Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.

Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.

What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.

Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.

Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.

mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.

LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.

Validation:

- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
  uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  → 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.

* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra

You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.

# What this commit fixes

1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
   uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
   package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
   existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
   stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
   hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
   path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
   (the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.

2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
   project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
   so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
   in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
   checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
   lock, optionally re-add to [all]).

3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
   jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.

# Defense-in-depth view

| Layer                      | Where             | Protects against                          |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject    | direct deps       | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph  | transitive worm injection                  |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path  | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate  | every PR          | drift between pyproject and lockfile      |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime  | cleanup for users who already got hit      |

The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.

# Validation

- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
  (test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
  test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.

* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)

* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)

Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.

Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic   (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client  (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts    (default TTS but still optional)

New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].

New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.

Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.

Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).

Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules

feat(computer-use): refresh cua-driver on hermes update + add install --upgrade (#24063)
cua-driver was only installed once on toolset enable: `_run_post_setup` early-returns when the binary is already on PATH, so upstream fixes (e.g. v0.1.6 Safari window-focus fix) never reached existing users without manual reinstall.

Two refresh points now:
- `hermes update` re-runs the upstream installer at the end of the update if cua-driver is on PATH (macOS-only, no-op otherwise). Ties driver freshness to the user-controlled update cadence — no startup latency, no per-launch GitHub API call.
- `hermes computer-use install --upgrade` for manual force-refresh.

The upstream `install.sh` always pulls the latest release, so re-running is the canonical upgrade path. No version-comparison logic needed.

`hermes computer-use status` now shows the installed version, and points at `--upgrade` for refreshing.

feat(nix): add extraDependencyGroups for sealed venv extras (#21817)
Expose the dependency-groups parameter from python.nix through
hermes-agent.nix and the NixOS module, allowing users to opt into
pyproject.toml optional extras (e.g. hindsight, voice, matrix) that
are resolved by uv inside the sealed venv.

Unlike extraPythonPackages (which appends to PYTHONPATH and requires
collision checking), extraDependencyGroups resolves the full dependency
graph in a single uv pass — no PYTHONPATH patching, no version
conflicts, no collision risk.

When to use which:
- extraDependencyGroups: enable a pyproject.toml optional extra
- extraPythonPackages: add an external Python plugin not in pyproject.toml

Usage:
  services.hermes-agent.extraDependencyGroups = [ "hindsight" ];

Or via overlay:
  pkgs.hermes-agent.override { extraDependencyGroups = [ "hindsight" ]; }

feat(kanban): stranded_in_ready diagnostic for unclaimed tasks (#23578)
Surface ready tasks that nobody claims within a threshold (default
30 min) regardless of why. One identity-agnostic signal that catches:

- Operator typo'd the assignee
- Profile was deleted, leaving its tasks stranded
- External worker pool (Codex CLI lane, custom daemon) is down
- Dispatcher misconfigured (wrong board / wrong HERMES_HOME)

Today the dispatcher correctly skips these (no respawn loop, good)
but nothing surfaces the fact that operator-actionable work is
accumulating. The new `stranded_in_ready` rule does that without
requiring a manual lane registry — it reads the most recent ready-
transition event (`created` / `promoted` / `reclaimed` / `unblocked`)
and fires when (now - last_ready_ts) > threshold.

Severity escalates with age: warning at threshold, error at 2x,
critical at 6x. The cli_hint and reassign actions point operators
at the right next step.

Out of scope deliberately:
- Lane registry (#20157 closed) — this signal supersedes it.
- Pushing the diagnostic into messaging gateways — diagnostics
  are pull-only via 'hermes kanban diagnostics' for now; gateway
  push is a separate UX decision.

Tests: 10 new + 461 existing kanban tests pass. E2E verified end-
to-end via 'hermes kanban diagnostics --json' against a 2h-old
stranded task — surfaces as error severity with correct actions.

7f90141c63 test(telegram): native-draft transport coverage + docs
Added tests/gateway/test_stream_consumer_draft.py with 11 tests
covering:
- Transport selection: auto+dm-supported -> draft; auto+group -> edit;
  explicit edit; explicit draft on unsupported adapter -> edit;
  MagicMock adapter -> edit (back-compat for the existing test suite).
- Happy path: DM stream animates draft frames with a single shared
  draft_id, then finalizes via a regular adapter.send.
- Group fallback: drafts entirely skipped in non-DM chats.
- Failure fallback: send_draft returning success=False disables drafts
  for the rest of the response.
- Draft_id lifecycle: consecutive responses use distinct ids; tool
  boundaries bump the id so post-tool text animates fresh below the
  tool-progress bubble (the openclaw #32535 leak guard).
- _already_sent contract: drafts must NOT set the flag so the gateway's
  fallback final-send still fires (drafts have no message_id).

Updated website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md with a
'Streaming transport' section explaining auto|draft|edit|off, the
DM-only constraint, and the per-response fallback behaviour.

ae83a54be4 docs(kanban): worker lane contract page + review-required convention
Closes the architectural-pin part of #19931. Most of what that issue
asked for is already implemented (logs under kanban root, env-pinned
workspace, dispatcher routing of unknown assignees, lifecycle
ownership, structured handoff conventions). What was missing:

1. A written contract integrators can point at when adding a new
   worker lane shape, and
2. The "code-changing workers should not auto-promote success to
   done" convention.

This commit ships both as docs+convention layered on existing primitives.
No kernel changes — the kanban_complete / kanban_block / kanban_comment
surfaces already support the review-required pattern; we just hadn't
written it down or made it visible to workers.

Changes:

- `agent/prompt_builder.py::KANBAN_GUIDANCE`: append the review-required
  exception to step 5 of the lifecycle. Workers get the cue
  auto-injected into their system prompt — drop structured metadata
  into a kanban_comment first, then end with
  kanban_block(reason="review-required: <summary>") instead of
  kanban_complete when the work needs review. Total prompt size went
  from ~3000 to ~3275 chars; well under the 4096 budget enforced by
  test_kanban_guidance_size.

- `skills/devops/kanban-worker/SKILL.md`: add a worked example to the
  existing "Good summary + metadata shapes" section between the
  Coding-task and Research-task examples. Same shape as the others
  (kanban_comment with structured handoff JSON, then kanban_block with
  the human-readable reason). Plus a one-line guide on when to use
  kanban_complete vs the review-required pattern.

- `website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-worker-lanes.md` (new): the
  integrator-facing contract. Covers the hierarchy, the three things
  every lane must provide (assignee, spawn mechanism, lifecycle
  terminator), the env vars the dispatcher injects, the
  review-required convention, the failure modes the kernel handles
  for free, and an explicit "external CLI worker lane" deferred-
  pending-concrete-asker section that links to #19931 and #19924.

- `website/sidebars.ts`: link the new page under user-guide/features.

The "specialist worker lanes for external CLI tools (Codex / Claude
Code / OpenCode)" runner is NOT shipped here. The dispatcher's
spawn_fn parameter already supports plugin-shaped extension; the
per-CLI integration work (auth, sandbox policy, exit-code mapping)
needs a concrete asker. The new docs page tells would-be integrators
the contract any such lane must satisfy.

6e5c49bdc4 refactor(kanban-orchestrator): drop hardcoded specialist roster, add Step-0 profile discovery
The skill enumerated 8 specialist profile names (researcher, analyst,
writer, reviewer, backend-eng, frontend-eng, ops, pm) as "the standard
roster" and told orchestrators to "assume these exist." Almost no real
Hermes setup matches that fleet — single-profile setups, Docker-worker
setups, and curated-team setups all violate it — so following the skill
literally produced cards assigned to non-existent profiles, which the
dispatcher silently failed to spawn (no autocorrect, no fallback, just
sits in `ready` forever).

Changes:

- Drop the standard-specialist-roster table.
- Add a "Profiles are user-configured — not a fixed roster" section at
  the top with a Step 0 that prescribes `hermes profile list` (or asking
  the user) before fanning out. Cache the result in working memory.
- Rewrite the worked task-graph example with placeholder names
  (<profile-A>, <profile-B>, <profile-C>) so the structure is still
  teachable but doesn't invite copy-paste of role names that may not
  exist.
- Reframe the "If no specialist fits" anti-temptation rule: don't
  invent profile names; ask the user.
- Add a "Inventing profile names that doesn't exist" entry to Pitfalls.
- Bump skill version 2.0.0 → 3.0.0 (semantic break: previous behavior
  promised a roster the skill no longer enumerates).
- Update website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md to drop the
  matching "(researcher, writer, analyst, backend-eng, reviewer, ops)"
  line and explain the discovery prompt instead.
- Re-run website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh the
  auto-generated skill page + catalog.

Closes #21131 in spirit — addresses the same hardcoded-names footgun
@yehuosi flagged, with a different shape than their PR (delete the
roster rather than replace each name with placeholder, since the
roster table was the load-bearing footgun and the worked example is
salvageable with placeholder profile names).

feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands (salvage of #4443) (#23373)
* feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands

Adds an opt-in two-list access control on top of the existing per-platform
`allow_from` allowlists, scoped to slash commands only:

  - allow_admin_from         — full slash command access
  - user_allowed_commands    — what non-admins may run
  - group_allow_admin_from   — same, group/channel scope
  - group_user_allowed_commands

When `allow_admin_from` is unset for a scope, gating is disabled and every
allowed user keeps full access (backward compat). Plain chat is unaffected.
`/help` and `/whoami` are always reachable so users can see what they
can run.

Gate runs at the slash command dispatch site in gateway/run.py and uses
`is_gateway_known_command()`, so it covers built-in AND plugin-registered
commands through the live registry without per-feature wiring.

Adds `/whoami` showing platform, scope, tier, and runnable commands.

Salvage of PR #4443's permission tier work, scoped down. The full tier
system, tool filtering, audit log, usage tracking, rate limiting,
`/promote` flow, and persistent SQLite stores are not included here —
those can be re-expanded later if needed.

* fix(gateway): close running-agent fast-path bypass + add coverage and central docs

The slash command access gate was only applied at the cold dispatch site
(line ~5921). When an agent was already running, the running-agent
fast-path block (line ~5574) dispatched /restart, /stop, /new, /steer,
/model, /approve, /deny, /agents, /background, /kanban, /goal, /yolo,
/verbose, /footer, /help, /commands, /profile, /update directly
without going through the gate — letting non-admins bypass gating just
because an agent happens to be busy.

Refactored the gate into _check_slash_access() and called from BOTH
paths. /status remains intentionally pre-gate so users can always see
session state.

Also added 18 more dispatch tests covering:
  - Running-agent fast-path: blocks non-admin, allows admin, /status
    always works
  - Alias canonicalization (gate uses canonical name, not user alias)
  - Unknown / unregistered commands pass through (don't false-positive)
  - DM admin scope-locked when group has its own admin list
  - Multi-platform isolation (Discord gated, Telegram unrestricted)

Docs: added Slash Command Access Control section to the central
messaging index page + /whoami row in the chat commands table.

perf(browser): route browser_console eval through supervisor's persistent CDP WS (180x faster) (#23226)
Adds CDPSupervisor.evaluate_runtime() and wires it into _browser_eval as a
fast path when a supervisor is alive for the current task_id. Replaces the
~180ms agent-browser subprocess fork+exec+Node-startup hop with a ~1ms
Runtime.evaluate over the supervisor's already-connected WebSocket.

Falls through to the existing agent-browser CLI path when no supervisor is
running (e.g. backends without CDP, or before the first browser_navigate
attaches one), so behaviour is unchanged where it can't apply.

JS-side exceptions surface directly without falling through to the
subprocess (the subprocess would just re-raise the same error, slower);
supervisor-side failures (loop down, no session) fall through cleanly.

Benchmark — 30 iterations of `1 + 1` against headless Chrome:
  supervisor WS              mean=  0.96ms  median=  0.91ms
  agent-browser subprocess   mean=179.35ms  median=167.73ms
  → 187x speedup mean

Tests: 14 unit tests (mocked supervisor + response-shape coverage), 5
real-Chrome e2e tests in test_browser_supervisor.py (gated on Chrome
being installed). Browser test suite: 355 passed, 1 skipped.

feat(plugins): run any LLM call from inside a plugin via ctx.llm (#23194)
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm

Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.

New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured

Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.

Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override

Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.

Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
  /receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
  jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
  validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.

Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
  command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
  and json_schema modes

* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing

The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.

Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.

No code change.

* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output

The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:

- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
  structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
  /paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
  complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
  request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
  structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
  alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
  structured or not.'

The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'

No code change.

* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs

The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).

New shape mirrors the host's main config:

  ctx.llm.complete(
      messages=[...],
      provider='openrouter',         # gated, optional
      model='openai/gpt-4o-mini',    # gated, optional
      profile='work',                # gated, optional
      ...
  )

Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.

Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.

Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates

Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.

* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core

Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:

1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
   what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
   'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:

     - explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
     - response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
       canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
     - falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
       when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
       active main provider/model
     - 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty

   Live verified: zero-config call now records
   provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
   instead of provider='auto', model='default'.

2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
   works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
   docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
   exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
   machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
   ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
   sync-hook + sync-llm path.

3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
   is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
   NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
   page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
   users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
   externally.

Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.

* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo

Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:

- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit

A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).

Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
  examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
  sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo

Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.

feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin (#23197)
* feat(gateway): add LINE Messaging API platform plugin

Adds LINE as a bundled platform plugin under `plugins/platforms/line/`,
synthesized from the strongest pieces of seven open community PRs. The
adapter requires zero core edits — `Platform("line")` is auto-discovered
via the bundled-plugin scan in `gateway/config.py`, and all hooks
(setup, env-enablement, cron delivery, standalone send) are wired
through `register_platform()` kwargs the way IRC and Teams do it.

Highlights merged into one plugin:

- **Reply token preferred, Push fallback.** Try the free reply token
  first (single-use, ~60s TTL); fall back to metered Push when the
  token is absent, expired, or rejected. (PR #21023)
- **Slow-LLM Template Buttons postback.** When the LLM is still running
  past `LINE_SLOW_RESPONSE_THRESHOLD` (default 45s), the adapter burns
  the original reply token to send a "Get answer" button bubble. The
  user taps it to fetch the cached answer via a fresh reply token —
  also free. State machine: PENDING → READY → DELIVERED, ERROR for
  cancelled runs (orphan resolves to `LINE_INTERRUPTED_TEXT` after
  /stop). Set threshold to 0 to disable. (PR #18153)
- **Three-allowlist gating** — separate user / group / room allowlists
  with `LINE_ALLOW_ALL_USERS=true` dev-only escape hatch. (PR #18153)
- **Markdown URL preservation.** Strip bold/italic/code-fence/heading
  markers (LINE renders them literally) but keep `[label](url)` →
  `label (url)` so URLs stay tappable. (PR #18153)
- **System-message bypass** for ` Interrupting`, ` Queued`, etc. —
  busy-acks reach the user as visible bubbles instead of being
  swallowed into the postback cache. (PR #18153)
- **Media via public HTTPS URLs.** LINE doesn't accept binary uploads;
  images/audio/video must be HTTPS-reachable. The adapter serves
  registered tempfiles under `/line/media/<token>/<filename>` from the
  same aiohttp app. Allowed-roots traversal guard covers
  `tempfile.gettempdir()`, `/tmp` (→ `/private/tmp` on macOS), and
  `HERMES_HOME`. `LINE_PUBLIC_URL` overrides URL construction for
  setups behind tunnels/proxies. (PR #8398)
- **5-message-per-call batching.** LINE rejects >5 messages per
  Reply/Push; smart-chunker caps text at 4500 chars per bubble.
- **Inbound dedup** via `webhookEventId` LRU. (PR #21023)
- **Self-message filter** via `/v2/bot/info` userId lookup. (PR #21023)
- **Loading-animation indicator** wired to LINE's `chat/loading/start`
  endpoint, DM-only (LINE rejects it for groups/rooms). (PR #21023)
- **Out-of-process cron delivery** via `_standalone_send`, so
  `deliver: line` cron jobs work even when cron runs detached from
  the gateway.
- **Webhook hardening** — 1 MiB body cap, constant-time HMAC-SHA256
  signature verification, dedup, scoped lock so two profiles can't
  bind the same channel.

Validation

Closes the seven open LINE PRs (#18153, #16832, #6676, #21023, #14942,
#14988, #8398) by superseding them with a single plugin-form
implementation that takes the best idea from each.

* docs(platforms): document platform-specific slow-LLM UX pattern

Add a 'Platform-Specific Slow-LLM UX' section to the platform-adapter
developer guide covering the _keep_typing override pattern that LINE
uses for its Template Buttons postback flow.

Three subsections:
- Pattern: subclass _keep_typing to layer mid-flight UX (with code)
- Pattern: subclass send to route through a cache instead of sending
- When this pattern is appropriate (vs. always-Push fallback)

Plus a short pointer in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md so
tree-readers find the prose walkthrough on the docsite.

Filed because the LINE plugin (PR #23197) was the first bundled
adapter to need this pattern — every prior plugin (irc, teams,
google_chat) handles slow responses with the default typing-loop and
a regular send_text. Documenting now while the rationale is fresh.

docs(web-search): explain auxiliary-model summarization for web_extract (#23211)
web_extract runs returned page content through the web_extract auxiliary
model when pages exceed 5 000 chars (single-pass up to 500k, chunked up
to 2M, refused above that). The user-guide page didn't mention this —
users were surprised that long-page extracts produced summaries instead
of raw markdown, and that those summaries cost main-model tokens by
default.

Adds:
- size-driven behavior table (under 5k / 5k–500k / 500k–2M / over 2M)
- which auxiliary task does the work (auxiliary.web_extract)
- how to route summaries to a cheap model regardless of main
- escape hatch: browser_navigate when you need raw content
- troubleshooting entry for summarization timeouts

docs: round 2 audit — messaging, developer-guide, guides, integrations (#22858)
Cross-checked 75 docs pages under user-guide/messaging/, developer-guide/,
guides/, and integrations/ against the live registries and gateway code.

messaging/
- index.md: API Server toolset is hermes-api-server (was 'hermes (default)');
  Google Chat slug is hermes-google_chat (underscore — plugin name uses _).
- google_chat.md: drop bogus 'pip install hermes-agent[google_chat]' (no such
  extra); list the actual deps (google-cloud-pubsub, google-api-python-client,
  google-auth, google-auth-oauthlib).
- qqbot.md: config namespace is platforms.qqbot (was platforms.qq, which is
  silently ignored by the adapter); QQ_STT_BASE_URL is not read directly —
  baseUrl lives under platforms.qqbot.extra.stt.
- teams-meetings.md: 'hermes teams-pipeline' is plugin-gated (teams_pipeline
  plugin must be enabled), not a built-in subcommand.
- sms.md: example log line 0.0.0.0:8080 -> 127.0.0.1:8080 (default
  SMS_WEBHOOK_HOST).
- open-webui.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars, not YAML keys — write them to
  per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' (same pattern fixed in
  api-server.md last round). Also bumped example ports to 8650+ to dodge the
  default webhook (8644)/wecom-callback (8645)/msgraph-webhook (8646)
  collision.

developer-guide/
- architecture.md: tool/toolset counts (61/52 -> 70+/~28); LOC stamps for
  run_agent.py, cli.py, hermes_cli/main.py, setup.py, mcp_tool.py,
  gateway/run.py replaced with 'large file' to stop drifting.
- agent-loop.md: same LOC drift (~13,700 -> 'a large file (15k+ lines)').
- gateway-internals.md: '14+ external messaging platforms' -> '20+'; gateway
  platform tree updated (qqbot is a sub-package, not qqbot.py; added
  yuanbao.py, feishu_comment.py, msgraph_webhook.py); 'gateway/builtin_hooks/
  (always active)' was wrong — it's an empty extension point and
  _register_builtin_hooks() is a no-op stub.
- acp-internals.md: drop fictional 'message_callback' from the bridged-
  callbacks list; clarify thinking_callback is currently set to None.
- provider-runtime.md: provider list was missing AWS Bedrock, Azure Foundry,
  NVIDIA NIM, xAI, Arcee, GMI Cloud, StepFun, Qwen OAuth, Xiaomi, Ollama
  Cloud, LM Studio, Tencent TokenHub. Fallback section described only the
  legacy single-pair model — corrected to the canonical list-form
  fallback_providers chain.
- environments.md: parsers list missing llama4_json and the deepseek_v31
  alias; both register via @register_parser.
- browser-supervisor.md: drop reference to scripts/browser_supervisor_e2e.py
  which doesn't exist in-repo.
- contributing.md: tinker-atropos is a git submodule — note that
  'git submodule update --init' is required if cloning without
  --recurse-submodules.

guides/
- operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md: cron flags were all wrong — schedule is
  positional (not --schedule), the script-only flag is --no-agent (not
  --script-only), and there's no --command flag. Replaced with a real example
  that creates the script under ~/.hermes/scripts/ and uses the actual flags.
  Also replaced fictional 'hermes cron show <name>' with 'hermes cron status'.
- automation-templates.md: 'cron create --skills "a,b"' doesn't work —
  the flag is --skill (singular, repeatable). Fixed all 5 occurrences via AST
  rewrite.
- minimax-oauth.md: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth --region cn' silently
  fails because --region isn't registered on the auth-add argparse spec.
  Pointed users at the minimax-cn provider (or MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY env) for
  China-region access.
- cron-script-only.md: 'hermes send' is fictional — replaced the comparison-
  table mention with a webhook-subscription pointer; also fixed the dead link
  to /guides/pipe-script-output (page doesn't exist).
- cron-troubleshooting.md: 'hermes serve' isn't a real subcommand. Pointed
  at 'hermes gateway' (foreground) / 'hermes gateway start' (service).
- local-ollama-setup.md: 'agent.api_timeout' is not a config key. The right
  knob is the HERMES_API_TIMEOUT env var.
- python-library.md: run_conversation() return dict has only final_response
  and messages — task_id is stored on the agent instance, not echoed back.
- use-mcp-with-hermes.md: '--args /c "npx -y …"' wraps the npx command in
  one quoted string, so cmd.exe gets a single arg instead of the multi-token
  command line it needs. Removed the surrounding quotes — argparse nargs='*'
  collects each token correctly.

integrations/
- providers.md: Bedrock guardrail YAML keys were 'id'/'version' (don't exist);
  actual keys are guardrail_identifier/guardrail_version (matches DEFAULT_CONFIG
  and the run_agent.py reader). GMI default base URL (api.gmi.ai/v1 ->
  api.gmi-serving.com/v1) and portal URL (inference.gmi.ai -> www.gmicloud.ai)
  refreshed. Fallback section rewritten to lead with the canonical
  fallback_providers list form (was leading with the legacy fallback_model
  single dict); supported-providers list extended to include azure-foundry,
  alibaba-coding-plan, lmstudio.

index.md
- '68 built-in tools' -> '70+'; '15+ platforms' was both inconsistent with
  integrations/index.md ('19+') and undercounted — bumped to 20+ and added
  Weixin/QQ Bot/Yuanbao/Google Chat to the list.

Validation: 'npm run build' clean (exit 0); broken-link count unchanged at
155 (same as round-1 post-skill-regen baseline). 24 files, +132/-89.

docs(openrouter): document auxiliary.<task>.extra_body for OR routing and Pareto (#22844)
The plumbing for setting OpenRouter provider preferences and the Pareto Code
router on auxiliary tasks already exists — auxiliary.<task>.extra_body is
forwarded verbatim by call_llm() / async_call_llm(). It just wasn't documented,
so users who wanted (e.g.) Pareto Code routing for compression but the strongest
coder for the main agent had no way to discover the escape hatch.

- hermes_cli/config.py: expand the auxiliary section header with a YAML
  example showing provider routing plus plugins under extra_body, and an
  explicit note that main-agent provider_routing / openrouter.min_coding_score
  do NOT propagate to aux calls (each task is independent by design)
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: new 'OpenRouter routing and
  Pareto Code for auxiliary tasks' subsection with worked example
- website/docs/integrations/providers.md: cross-link from the Pareto Code
  Router section to the aux-side doc

E2E verified that auxiliary.<task>.extra_body reaches the OpenRouter API with
the configured provider routing and plugins blocks intact.

feat(openrouter): wire Pareto Code router with min_coding_score knob (#22838)
Pick openrouter/pareto-code as your model and OpenRouter auto-routes each
request to the cheapest model meeting your coding-quality bar (ranked by
Artificial Analysis). The new openrouter.min_coding_score config key (0.0-1.0,
default 0.65) tunes the floor.

- hermes_cli/models.py: add openrouter/pareto-code to OPENROUTER_MODELS so
  it shows up in the picker with a description
- hermes_cli/config.py: add openrouter.min_coding_score (default 0.65 — lands
  on a mid-tier coder on the current Pareto frontier)
- plugins/model-providers/openrouter: emit extra_body.plugins =
  [{id: pareto-router, min_coding_score: X}] when model is openrouter/pareto-code
  AND the score is a valid float in [0.0, 1.0]
- agent/transports/chat_completions.py: same emission on the legacy flag
  path (when no provider profile is loaded)
- run_agent.py: openrouter_min_coding_score kwarg + storage; plumbed into
  both build_kwargs() invocations and the context-summary extra_body path
- cli.py: read openrouter.min_coding_score once at init, validate float in
  [0,1], pass to AIAgent constructions (CLI + background-task paths)
- cron/scheduler.py, batch_runner.py, tools/delegate_tool.py,
  tui_gateway/server.py: propagate the kwarg (mirrors providers_order
  plumbing — subagents inherit, cron/batch read from config)
- tests: profile-level + transport-level coverage of the model gating,
  unset/empty/out-of-range handling, and the legacy flag path
- docs: new 'OpenRouter Pareto Code Router' section in providers.md

Verified end-to-end against api.openrouter.ai: at score=0.65 we land on a
mid-tier coder, at omission we get the strongest. Score is silently dropped
on any model other than openrouter/pareto-code, so it's safe to leave set.

docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift (#22784)
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift

Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level
user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries:

  hermes_cli/commands.py    COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands)
  hermes_cli/auth.py        PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers)
  hermes_cli/config.py      DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys)
  toolsets.py               TOOLSETS (toolsets)
  tools/registry.py         get_all_tool_names() (tools)
  python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args)

reference/
- cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section,
  add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand
  lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/
  list-archived).
- slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries +
  correct the cross-platform Notes line.
- tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional
  'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated),
  add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use
  the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix.
- toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser'
  row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale
  '38 tools' count for hermes-cli.
- profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document
  fish completion.
- environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the
  one with the correct gmi-serving.com default).
- faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just
  via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list.

getting-started/
- installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer
  fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback.
- installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls
  back to .[termux].
- nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid
  'nix flake update --flake' invocation.
- updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist —
  point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key
  'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup').

user-guide/
- configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer
  is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults
  enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50).
- configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't
  exist — hermes model is interactive only.
- tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values
  kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none).
- security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env,
  not config.yaml.
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the
  OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway.

user-guide/features/
- computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken
  ./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md.
- fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not
  model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal.
- api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env,
  not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML.
- web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl
  modes are exposed through web_extract.
- kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'.
- plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count.
- honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document
  that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho;
  reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output.
- memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented.

Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went
from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing).

* docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs

Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch:

Round 2 manual fixes:
- quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY;
  voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...'
  doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo
  dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e
  ".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it.
- cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as
  'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default);
  actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty
  (default) or pin a cheap model'.
- built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row
  that was missing from the table.

Regenerated skill catalogs:
- ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill
  pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md,
  optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely
  missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled),
  optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills:
  3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model,
  merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes,
  creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers,
  productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search,
  apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from
  the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed
  metadata).

Validation:
- 'npm run build' succeeded.
- Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation
  shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern).
  No regressions on any en/ page.

fix(tools): install cua-driver when Computer Use is enabled via 'hermes tools' (#22765)
Returning users who enabled '🖱️ Computer Use (macOS)' via 'hermes tools'
saw '✓ Saved configuration' but no install — cua-driver was never on
PATH and the toolset failed at first use. Two compounding causes:

1. _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt fell through to _toolset_has_keys,
   which returned True for any provider with empty env_vars. cua-driver
   has no env vars, so the gate skipped _configure_toolset entirely and
   _run_post_setup('cua_driver') never ran.

2. No stable CLI entry-point existed for re-running the install when
   the picker no-op'd it (e.g. when toggling the toolset off+on inside
   one picker session, where 'added' is empty).

Changes:

- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: add _POST_SETUP_INSTALLED registry
  mapping post_setup keys to installed-state predicates. The gate
  now returns True when any visible provider has a registered
  post_setup whose predicate fails. cua_driver is the only opt-in
  for now; other post_setup hooks keep their existing behaviour.
- hermes_cli/main.py: add 'hermes computer-use install' and
  'hermes computer-use status' as a stable docs target. install
  reuses the same _run_post_setup('cua_driver') path that the
  picker invokes; status reports whether cua-driver is on PATH.
- tools/computer_use/cua_backend.py: install hint now points users
  at 'hermes computer-use install' first.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/computer-use.md: document the
  new command as the primary install path.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: catalog 'hermes
  computer-use' alongside 'hermes tools'.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_post_setup_gating.py: regression coverage
  for the gate predicate (missing -> setup forced, installed ->
  setup skipped, broken predicate -> non-blocking, unregistered
  keys -> behaviour unchanged).

Fixes #22737. Reported by @f-trycua.

feat(plugins): HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 surfaces plugin discovery logs (#22684)
Plugin authors had no easy way to figure out why their plugin wasn't
loading — failures were buried in agent.log at WARNING and skip reasons
(disabled, not enabled, depth cap, exclusive) were DEBUG-only and
invisible by default.

Set HERMES_PLUGINS_DEBUG=1 to attach a stderr handler at DEBUG to the
hermes_cli.plugins logger only. Surfaces:

  - which directories were scanned + manifest counts per source
  - per manifest: resolved key, name, kind, source, on-disk path
  - skip reasons (disabled, not enabled, exclusive, depth cap, no register)
  - per load: tools/hooks/slash/CLI commands the plugin registered
  - full traceback on YAML parse failure (exc_info on the existing warning)
  - full traceback on register() exceptions, pointing at the plugin author's line

Env var off (default) → zero new stderr output, same as before.

Touches only hermes_cli/plugins.py + a doc section in the plugin-build
guide + an entry in the env-vars reference. 3 new tests lock the
attach/idempotent/no-attach behavior.

93e25ceb13 feat(plugins): add standalone_sender_fn for out-of-process cron delivery
Plugin platforms (IRC, Teams, Google Chat) currently fail with
`No live adapter for platform '<name>'` when a `deliver=<plugin>` cron
job runs in a separate process from the gateway, even though the
platforms are eligible cron targets via `cron_deliver_env_var` (added
in #21306). Built-in platforms (Telegram, Discord, Slack, etc.) use
direct REST helpers in `tools/send_message_tool.py` so cron can deliver
without holding the gateway in the same process; plugin platforms
historically depended on `_gateway_runner_ref()` which returns `None`
out of process.

This change adds an optional `standalone_sender_fn` field to
`PlatformEntry` so plugins can register an ephemeral send path that
opens its own connection, sends, and closes without needing the live
adapter. The dispatch site in `_send_via_adapter` falls through to the
hook when the gateway runner is unavailable, with a descriptive error
when neither path applies. The hook is optional, so existing plugins
are unaffected.

Reference migrations land in the same change for IRC, Teams, and
Google Chat, exercising the hook across stdlib (asyncio + IRC protocol),
Bot Framework OAuth client_credentials, and Google service-account
flows respectively.

Security hardening on the new code paths:
* IRC: control-character stripping on chat_id and message body to
  block CRLF command injection; bounded nick-collision retries; JOIN
  before PRIVMSG so channels with the default `+n` mode accept the
  delivery.
* Teams: TEAMS_SERVICE_URL validated against an allowlist of known
  Bot Framework hosts (`smba.trafficmanager.net`,
  `smba.infra.gov.teams.microsoft.us`) to block SSRF; chat_id and
  tenant_id constrained to the documented Bot Framework character set;
  per-request timeouts so a slow STS endpoint cannot starve the
  activity POST.
* Google Chat: chat_id and thread_id validated against strict
  resource-name regexes; service-account refresh wrapped in
  `asyncio.wait_for` so a hung token endpoint cannot stall the
  scheduler.

Test coverage: 20 new tests covering happy path, missing-config errors,
network failure modes, and each defensive validation. Existing tests
unchanged. `bash scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py
tests/gateway/test_irc_adapter.py tests/gateway/test_teams.py
tests/gateway/test_google_chat.py` reports 341 passed, 0 regressions.

Documentation: new "Out-of-process cron delivery" section in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md and an entry
in gateway/platforms/ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md naming the hook.

d606df8126 docs(cli): call out Ctrl+Enter for Windows Terminal users
Windows Terminal captures Alt+Enter at the terminal layer (fullscreen
toggle), so documenting 'Alt+Enter or Ctrl+J' without qualification
leaves stock Windows Terminal users with no working newline key they
can discover from the docs alone.

- Main keybindings row: note Alt+Enter is intercepted on WT and direct
  users to Ctrl+Enter / Ctrl+J instead.
- Shift+Enter compatibility table: split 'stock Windows Terminal' from
  Windows Terminal Preview 1.25+ (which added Kitty protocol support
  and works with the keybinding from this PR once enabled).
- Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for ra2157218@gmail.com -> Abd0r so the salvage
  commit passes the email-mapping CI gate.

f5b635f6ab feat(cli): recognise Shift+Enter as a newline key
Closes #5346.

Most terminals send the same byte sequence for `Enter` and `Shift+Enter`
by default, so the application can't tell them apart — this is a terminal
protocol limitation, not something Hermes can paper over. But terminals
that implement the Kitty keyboard protocol (Kitty / foot / WezTerm /
Ghostty by default; iTerm2 / Alacritty / VS Code terminal / Warp once the
protocol is enabled) DO emit a distinct sequence for `Shift+Enter`:

  - `\x1b[13;2u`     — Kitty / CSI-u, modifier=2
  - `\x1b[27;2;13~`  — xterm modifyOtherKeys=2

Stock prompt_toolkit doesn't have the CSI-u sequence in its
`ANSI_SEQUENCES` table at all, and it maps the modifyOtherKeys variant to
plain `Keys.ControlM` (Enter) — i.e. it strips the Shift modifier, which
is the bug users actually hit on iTerm2 and friends.

This PR adds `hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.install_shift_enter_alias()`,
called once at CLI startup from `cli.py`, which inserts/overwrites those
sequences in `ANSI_SEQUENCES` so they decode to `(Keys.Escape, Keys.ControlM)`
— the same key tuple `Alt+Enter` produces. The existing Alt+Enter newline
handler (`@kb.add('escape', 'enter')` in `cli.py`) then fires unchanged,
so there is no new keybinding to register and no behavioral change for
terminals that don't emit the distinct sequences.

Files
=====

* `hermes_cli/pt_input_extras.py` — new module hosting the helper. Lives
  outside `cli.py` so it's importable in tests without dragging in the
  full CLI runtime (which depends on `fire`, `rich`, etc.).
* `cli.py` — calls `install_shift_enter_alias()` once at module import.
  Wrapped in try/except so prompt_toolkit version drift can't break CLI
  startup.
* `tests/cli/test_cli_shift_enter_newline.py` — 6 tests:
  - registration of all three byte sequences
  - overwrite of stock prompt_toolkit's broken modifyOtherKeys mapping
  - idempotency
  - parser equivalence: CSI-u Shift+Enter == Alt+Enter
  - parser equivalence: modifyOtherKeys Shift+Enter == Alt+Enter
  - plain Enter remains a single key (submit), distinct from the two-key
    Alt+Enter / Shift+Enter tuple
* `website/docs/user-guide/cli.md` — keybinding table updated; new
  "Shift+Enter compatibility" subsection with a per-terminal status table
  noting macOS Terminal / stock Windows Terminal cannot distinguish the
  keystroke at the protocol level.
* `website/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md`,
  `website/docs/guides/tips.md` — short mention pointing readers at the
  full compatibility note in `cli.md`.

Tested
======

  pytest tests/cli/test_cli_shift_enter_newline.py        # 6 passed

Live-tested by triggering `\x1b[13;2u` against the running Vt100Parser
(see test). Not exercised in a real terminal end-to-end because that
requires a Kitty-protocol-capable host; the test exercises the parser
path that drives the live terminal too.

Adds early-beta framing to every user-facing surface where native Windows

(Native) guide, contributor notes, and README. Sets expectations that the
path installs and runs but hasn't been road-tested as broadly as POSIX,
and points users who want maximum stability at WSL2 instead.

docs(windows): add native Windows guide + install one-liner on landing page (#22089)
New page: website/docs/user-guide/windows-native.md — comprehensive
Windows-native deep dive covering:

- Quick install (irm | iex) and parameterized form
- What the installer does end-to-end (uv, Python 3.11, Node 22,
  PortableGit, messaging SDK bootstrap)
- Feature matrix: native Windows vs WSL2 (dashboard /chat is WSL-only)
- How Hermes runs shell commands on Windows (Git Bash resolution,
  HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH override, MinGit layout pitfall)
- UTF-8 console shim (configure_windows_stdio, opt-out via
  HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8)
- Editor handling (notepad default, VSCode/Notepad++/nvim overrides,
  why Ctrl-X Ctrl-E used to silently do nothing)
- Ctrl+Enter for newline in the CLI
- Gateway as a Scheduled Task (schtasks + Startup-folder fallback,
  pythonw.exe detached spawn, why not a Windows Service)
- Data layout (%LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes vs %USERPROFILE%\.hermes split)
- PATH after install, environment variables, uninstall
- Process management internals (bpo-14484 os.kill(pid, 0) footgun,
  _pid_exists primitive, check-windows-footguns.py CI gate)
- 10+ concrete pitfalls with fixes

Also:
- docs/index.md: add inline 'Install' section with both Linux/macOS
  curl and Windows irm|iex one-liners right under the hero CTAs.
  Updates the quick-links row to include 'native Windows'.
- sidebars.ts: add Windows (Native) entry above Windows (WSL2).
- windows-wsl-quickstart.md: point native-install cross-link at the
  new dedicated page (was going to installation.md#windows-native).
- reference/environment-variables.md: document HERMES_GIT_BASH_PATH
  and HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8 (previously undocumented).

b7fe7ed7bd feat(windows-install): bundle portable MinGit instead of relying on winget
User hit a real failure case: their system Git was in a half-installed state
(can neither uninstall nor reinstall) and winget refused to work around it.
We were one step away from shipping an installer that would have left users
with exactly the problem he already had.

What other agents do (reality check):
- Claude Code: requires pre-installed Git; breaks if user doesn't have it.
- OpenCode, Codex: don't need bash at all — PowerShell-first design.
- Cline: uses whatever shell VSCode is configured with; installs nothing.

None of them solve the "broken system Git" problem.  We need to own our Git.

Changes:
- scripts/install.ps1::Install-Git: dropped winget path entirely.  Now:
  (1) use existing git if present; (2) download portable MinGit from the
  official git-for-windows GitHub release to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git.
  No winget, no admin, no Windows installer registry, no system impact.
- Added %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git\{cmd,usr\bin} to User PATH so git + bash
  + POSIX coreutils (which, env, grep, …) resolve in fresh shells.
- tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash: reorder so Hermes' portable
  MinGit install is checked BEFORE falling through to shutil.which("bash")
  or system install locations.  This way a broken system Git can't
  hijack the bash lookup.
- README + installation docs reworded to reflect the new story: "portable
  Git Bash, isolated from any system install, recoverable via rm -rf if it
  ever breaks."

Recoverability: if Hermes' Git install ever breaks, ``Remove-Item %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\git``
and re-run the installer — no system impact, no uninstall drama, no winget
to fight with.

9de893e3b0 feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing.  install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.

## What changed

### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
  Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
  `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
  for subprocesses.  No-op on non-Windows.  Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
  `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
  symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
  consoles.

### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
  `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
  which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
  converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
  on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
  `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
  pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).

### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`.  Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
  the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`

### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows.  Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import.  Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
  `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
  this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
  editor) runs natively on Windows.

### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
  Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
  shipped with the OS).  Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).

### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
  PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
  with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
  `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
  "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
  cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
  rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
  native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.

## Why this shape

Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):

- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
  hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
  Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API.  Python does not get
  that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
  PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
  is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.

## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)

- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
  the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
  cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
  modern code already specifies it.

## Validation

- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
  platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI.  Cover:
  - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
  - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
  - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
  - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
  - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
  - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
  - README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
  pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
  import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
  on Linux (as expected).

## Files

242da9db96 docs(teams-pipeline): cron renewal recipe, sidebar wiring, skill rewrite
Fifth and final slice polish on top of @dlkakbs's docs + skill. Three
things ship here:

1. Subscription renewal cron recipe (the #1 operational footgun).

   Microsoft Graph webhook subscriptions expire at 72 hours max and
   don't auto-renew. The shipped operator runbook mentioned
   `maintain-subscriptions --dry-run` as a "daily or periodic check"
   but never told operators how to actually automate it. Without a
   scheduled job, any production deployment silently stops ingesting
   meetings three days after go-live.

   Adds an "Automating subscription renewal (REQUIRED for production)"
   section to website/docs/guides/operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md
   with three concrete options and copy-pasteable configs:

   - Option 1: Hermes cron (`hermes cron add --schedule "0 */12 * * *"
     --script-only --command "hermes teams-pipeline maintain-subscriptions"`)
   - Option 2: systemd service + timer (12h cadence, Persistent=true
     so missed runs catch up after reboots)
   - Option 3: plain crontab with a wrapper that sources .env for
     credentials

   Go-Live Checklist gains a bolded mandatory item for the schedule
   being in place, with a cross-link to the section.

   website/docs/user-guide/messaging/teams-meetings.md adds a
   `::⚠️::` admonition right after the manual `subscribe`
   examples so anyone who creates a subscription manually is told
   the same day that it will silently expire in 72 hours.

2. Sidebar wiring. Shela's new docs pages (teams-meetings.md and
   operate-teams-meeting-pipeline.md) weren't in website/sidebars.ts,
   so they were orphaned URLs — reachable only if someone knew the
   path. Wired teams-meetings into Messaging Platforms next to the
   existing teams entry, and operate-teams-meeting-pipeline into
   Guides & Tutorials next to microsoft-graph-app-registration from
   PR #21922. Adjacent placement keeps the related pages discoverable
   from each other.

3. SKILL.md rewrite (v1.0.0 → v1.1.0).

   The original skill had five Turkish-only trigger phrases, which
   works in a Turkish-speaking session but doesn't match English
   triggers. Rewrote the skill to:

   - Describe triggers by intent instead of exact phrases, with
     explicit "works in any language" framing and example phrases
     in both English and Turkish.
   - Add a Decision Tree section covering the three most common user
     asks (missing summary, setup verification, re-run request) and
     the specific CLI command sequence for each.
   - Add a dedicated "Critical pitfall: Graph subscriptions expire
     in 72 hours" section that tells the agent exactly what to do
     when a user reports "worked yesterday, nothing today" — the
     most common operational failure mode.
   - Expand the command reference into three labeled groups (Status
     and inspection / Re-running and debugging / Subscription
     management) so the agent can reach for the right command
     without scanning.
   - Add cross-links to all four related docs pages (Azure app
     registration, webhook listener setup, full pipeline setup,
     operator runbook).

Validation:
- npm run build: all new pages route, anchor to
  #automating-subscription-renewal-required-for-production resolves
  from both the runbook TOC and the teams-meetings.md admonition.
- scripts/run_tests.sh on the relevant test suites (607 tests): all
  pass.

9680827078 docs(teams): meeting summary delivery section + env var reference
Third docs slice shipped alongside the TeamsSummaryWriter code so
operators can configure outbound summary delivery the moment this
PR lands.

- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/teams.md: new 'Meeting Summary
  Delivery (Teams Meeting Pipeline)' section under Features,
  explaining that the existing teams adapter handles pipeline
  outbound (not a separate adapter surface), with a config-snippet
  example for graph and incoming_webhook modes, a mode-choice
  trade-off table, and a note that settings are inert when the
  teams_pipeline plugin is disabled.

- website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md: new Teams Meeting
  Summary Delivery subsection documenting TEAMS_DELIVERY_MODE,
  TEAMS_INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL, TEAMS_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN, TEAMS_TEAM_ID,
  TEAMS_CHANNEL_ID, TEAMS_CHAT_ID with cross-link to the Teams setup
  page section.

Verified via npm run build: pages route correctly, no new warnings
or errors.

docs(profiles): full user guide for profile distributions (#22017)
PR #20831 shipped the feature with a terse reference page. This adds a
proper user guide — ~570 lines of what/why/when/how with use-case
walkthroughs, lifecycle coverage from author through installer through
update, and recipe snippets for common workflows.

New page: website/docs/user-guide/profile-distributions.md

Sections:

* What this means — the before/after, side-by-side
* Why git, not tarballs or a custom format
* When to use a distribution (personal, team, community, product) and
  when NOT to (local backup, sharing credentials, sharing memories)
* The lifecycle — dedicated walkthroughs for authors (publish in 4 steps)
  and installers (install, check, update, remove)
* Use cases: personal sync, team internal bot, community publish,
  commercial product, ephemeral ops agent
* Recipes: pin a version, compare installed vs. latest, preserve local
  customizations through updates, force clean reinstall, fork-and-customize,
  test before pushing
* What is NEVER in a distribution (the user-owned exclude list verbatim)
* Security and trust model — what you are trusting, why cron is not
  auto-scheduled, the browser-extension analogy

Cross-linking:

* Added to sidebar under Getting Started, right after user-guide/profiles.
* Existing Profiles page ends with a Sharing profiles as distributions
  teaser that links here.
* The Distribution section of the reference page gets an admonition
  pointing newcomers here first. The reference stays as a CLI-flag
  lookup for people who already know what they want.

Validation:

* ascii-guard lint --exclude-code-blocks docs -> 0 errors.
* All internal links resolve to real pages.
