Inline diff segments were anchored relative to assistant narration, but the
turn details pane still rendered after streamSegments. On completion that put
the diff before the tool telemetry that produced it. When a turn has anchored
diff segments, commit the accumulated thinking/tool trail as a pre-diff trail
message, then render the diff and final summary.
TUI auto-resolves `display.personality` at session init, unlike the base CLI.
If config contains `agent.personalities: null`, `_resolve_personality_prompt`
called `.get()` on None and failed before model/provider selection.
Normalize null personalities to `{}` and surface a targeted config warning.
Tolerating null top-level keys silently drops user settings (e.g.
`agent.system_prompt` next to a bare `agent:` line is gone). Probe at
session create, log via `logger.warning`, and surface in the boot info
under `config_warning` — rendered in the TUI feed alongside the existing
`credential_warning` banner.
YAML parses bare keys like `agent:` or `display:` as None. `dict.get(key, {})`
returns that None instead of the default (defaults only fire on missing keys),
so every `cfg.get("agent", {}).get(...)` chain in tui_gateway/server.py
crashed agent init with `'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'`.
Guard all 21 sites with `(cfg.get(X) or {})`. Regression test covers the
null-section init path reported on Twitter against the new TUI.
Recovers the manual click on the details accordion: with #14968's new
SECTION_DEFAULTS (thinking/tools start `expanded`), every panel render
was OR-ing the local open toggle against `visible.X === 'expanded'`.
That pinned `open=true` for the default-expanded sections, so clicking
the chevron flipped the local state but the panel never collapsed.
Local toggle is now the sole source of truth at render time; the
useState init still seeds from the resolved visibility (so first paint
is correct) and the existing useEffect still re-syncs when the user
mutates visibility at runtime via `/details`.
Same OR-lock cleared inside SubagentAccordion (`showChildren ||
openX`) — pre-existing but the same shape, so expand-all on the
spawn tree no longer makes inner sections un-collapsible either.
Follow-up to the canonical-identity session-key fix: pull the
JID/LID normalize/expand/canonical helpers into gateway/whatsapp_identity.py
instead of living in two places. gateway/session.py (session-key build) and
gateway/run.py (authorisation allowlist) now both import from the shared
module, so the two resolution paths can't drift apart.
Also switches the auth path from module-level _hermes_home (cached at
import time) to dynamic get_hermes_home() lookup, which matches the
session-key path and correctly reflects HERMES_HOME env overrides. The
lone test that monkeypatched gateway.run._hermes_home for the WhatsApp
auth path is updated to set HERMES_HOME env var instead; all other
tests that monkeypatch _hermes_home for unrelated paths (update,
restart drain, shutdown marker, etc.) still work — the module-level
_hermes_home is untouched.
Hermes' WhatsApp bridge routinely surfaces the same person under either
a phone-format JID (60123456789@s.whatsapp.net) or a LID (…@lid),
and may flip between the two for a single human within the same
conversation. Before this change, build_session_key used the raw
identifier verbatim, so the bridge reshuffling an alias form produced
two distinct session keys for the same person — in two places:
1. DM chat_id — a user's DM sessions split in half, transcripts and
per-sender state diverge.
2. Group participant_id (with group_sessions_per_user enabled) — a
member's per-user session inside a group splits in half for the
same reason.
Add a canonicalizer that walks the bridge's lid-mapping-*.json files
and picks the shortest/numeric-preferred alias as the stable identity.
build_session_key now routes both the DM chat_id and the group
participant_id through this helper when the platform is WhatsApp.
All other platforms and chat types are untouched.
Expose canonical_whatsapp_identifier and normalize_whatsapp_identifier
as public helpers. Plugins that need per-sender behaviour (role-based
routing, per-contact authorization, policy gating) need the same
identity resolution Hermes uses internally; without a public helper,
each plugin would have to re-implement the walker against the bridge's
internal on-disk format. Keeping this alongside build_session_key
makes it authoritative and one refactor away if the bridge ever
changes shape.
_expand_whatsapp_aliases stays private — it's an implementation detail
of how the mapping files are walked, not a contract callers should
depend on.
Exposes hermes --tui over a PTY-backed WebSocket so the dashboard can
embed the real TUI rather than reimplement its surface. The browser
attaches xterm.js to the socket; keystrokes flow in, PTY output bytes
flow out.
Architecture:
browser <Terminal> (xterm.js)
│ onData ───► ws.send(keystrokes)
│ onResize ► ws.send('\x1b[RESIZE:cols;rows]')
│ write ◄── ws.onmessage (PTY bytes)
▼
FastAPI /api/pty (token-gated, loopback-only)
▼
PtyBridge (ptyprocess) ── spawns node ui-tui/dist/entry.js ──► tui_gateway + AIAgent
Components
----------
hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py
Thin wrapper around ptyprocess.PtyProcess: byte-safe read/write on the
master fd via os.read/os.write (not PtyProcessUnicode — ANSI is
inherently byte-oriented and UTF-8 boundaries may land mid-read),
non-blocking select-based reads, TIOCSWINSZ resize, idempotent
SIGHUP→SIGTERM→SIGKILL teardown, platform guard (POSIX-only; Windows
is WSL-supported only).
hermes_cli/web_server.py
@app.websocket("/api/pty") endpoint gated by the existing
_SESSION_TOKEN (via ?token= query param since browsers can't set
Authorization on WS upgrades). Loopback-only enforcement. Reader task
uses run_in_executor to pump PTY bytes without blocking the event
loop. Writer loop intercepts a custom \x1b[RESIZE:cols;rows] escape
before forwarding to the PTY. The endpoint resolves the TUI argv
through a _resolve_chat_argv hook so tests can inject fake commands
without building the real TUI.
Tests
-----
tests/hermes_cli/test_pty_bridge.py — 12 unit tests: spawn, stdout,
stdin round-trip, EOF, resize (via TIOCSWINSZ + tput readback), close
idempotency, cwd, env forwarding, unavailable-platform error.
tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server.py — TestPtyWebSocket adds 7 tests:
missing/bad token rejection (close code 4401), stdout streaming,
stdin round-trip, resize escape forwarding, unavailable-platform ANSI
error frame + 1011 close, resume parameter forwarding to argv.
96 tests pass under scripts/run_tests.sh.

feat(web): add Chat tab with xterm.js terminal + Sessions resume button
(cherry picked from commit 3d21aee8 by emozilla, conflicts resolved
against current main: BUILTIN_ROUTES table + plugin slot layout)
fix(tui): replace OSC 52 jargon in /copy confirmation
When the user ran /copy successfully, Ink confirmed with:
sent OSC52 copy sequence (terminal support required)
That reads like a protocol spec to everyone who isn't a terminal
implementer. The caveat was a historical artifact — OSC 52 wasn't
universally supported when this message was written, so the TUI
honestly couldn't guarantee the copy had landed anywhere.
Today every modern terminal (including the dashboard's embedded
xterm.js) handles OSC 52 reliably. Say what the user actually wants
to know — that it copied, and how much — matching the message the
TUI already uses for selection copy:
copied 1482 chars
(cherry picked from commit a0701b1d5a)
docs: document the dashboard Chat tab
AGENTS.md — new subsection under TUI Architecture explaining that the
dashboard embeds the real hermes --tui rather than rewriting it,
with pointers to the pty_bridge + WebSocket endpoint and the rule
'never add a parallel chat surface in React.'
website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md — user-facing Chat
section inside the existing Web Dashboard page, covering how it works
(WebSocket + PTY + xterm.js), the Sessions-page resume flow, and
prerequisites (Node.js, ptyprocess, POSIX kernel / WSL on Windows).
(cherry picked from commit 2c2e32cc45)
feat(tui-gateway): transport-aware dispatch + WebSocket sidecar
Decouples the JSON-RPC dispatcher from its I/O sink so the same handler
surface can drive multiple transports concurrently. The PTY chat tab
already speaks to the TUI binary as bytes — this adds a structured
event channel alongside it for dashboard-side React widgets that need
typed events (tool.start/complete, model picker state, slash catalog)
that PTY can't surface.
- `tui_gateway/transport.py` — `Transport` protocol + `contextvars` binding
+ module-level `StdioTransport` fallback. The stdio stream resolves
through a lambda so existing tests that monkey-patch `_real_stdout`
keep passing without modification.
- `tui_gateway/ws.py` — WebSocket transport implementation; FastAPI
endpoint mounting lives in hermes_cli/web_server.py.
- `tui_gateway/server.py`:
- `write_json` routes via session transport (for async events) →
contextvar transport (for in-request writes) → stdio fallback.
- `dispatch(req, transport=None)` binds the transport for the request
lifetime and propagates it to pool workers via `contextvars.copy_context`
so async handlers don't lose their sink.
- `_init_session` and the manual-session create path stash the
request's transport so out-of-band events (subagent.complete, etc.)
fan out to the right peer.
`tui_gateway.entry` (Ink's stdio handshake) is unchanged externally —
it falls through every precedence step into the stdio fallback, byte-
identical to the previous behaviour.
feat(web): ChatSidebar — JSON-RPC sidecar next to xterm.js terminal
Composes the two transports into a single Chat tab:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────┐
│ xterm.js / PTY (emozilla #13379) │ ChatSidebar │
│ the literal hermes --tui process │ /api/ws │
└─────────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────┘
terminal bytes structured events
The terminal pane stays the canonical chat surface — full TUI fidelity,
slash commands, model picker, mouse, skin engine, wide chars all paint
inside the terminal. The sidebar opens a parallel JSON-RPC WebSocket
to the same gateway and renders metadata that PTY can't surface to
React chrome:
• model + provider badge with connection state (click → switch)
• running tool-call list (driven by tool.start / tool.progress /
tool.complete events)
• model picker dialog (gateway-driven, reuses ModelPickerDialog)
The sidecar is best-effort. If the WS can't connect (older gateway,
network hiccup, missing token) the terminal pane keeps working
unimpaired — sidebar just shows the connection-state badge in the
appropriate tone.
- `web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx` — new component (~270 lines).
Owns its GatewayClient, drives the model picker through
`slash.exec`, fans tool events into a capped tool list.
- `web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx` — split layout: terminal pane
(`flex-1`) + sidebar (`w-80`, `lg+` only).
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` — mount `/api/ws` (token + loopback
guards mirror /api/pty), delegate to `tui_gateway.ws.handle_ws`.

refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar + ChatPage lint debt
- ChatSidebar: lift gw out of useRef into a useMemo derived from a
reconnect counter. React 19's react-hooks/refs and react-hooks/
set-state-in-effect rules both fire when you touch a ref during
render or call setState from inside a useEffect body. The
counter-derived gw is the canonical pattern for "external resource
that needs to be replaceable on user action" — re-creating the
client comes from bumping `version`, the effect just wires + tears
down. Drops the imperative `gwRef.current = …` reassign in
reconnect, drops the truthy ref guard in JSX. modelLabel +
banner inlined as derived locals (one-off useMemo was overkill).
- ChatPage: lazy-init the banner state from the missing-token check
so the effect body doesn't have to setState on first run. Drops
the unused react-hooks/exhaustive-deps eslint-disable. Adds a
scoped no-control-regex disable on the SGR mouse parser regex
(the \\x1b is intentional for xterm escape sequences).
All my-touched files now lint clean. Remaining warnings on web/
belong to pre-existing files this PR doesn't touch.
Verified: vitest 249/249, ui-tui eslint clean, web tsc clean,
python imports clean.
chore: uptick
fix(web): drop ChatSidebar tool list — events can't cross PTY/WS boundary
The /api/pty endpoint spawns `hermes --tui` as a child process with its
own tui_gateway and _sessions dict; /api/ws runs handle_ws in-process in
the dashboard server with a separate _sessions dict. Tool events fire on
the child's gateway and never reach the WS sidecar, so the sidebar's
tool.start/progress/complete listeners always observed an empty list.
Drop the misleading list (and the now-orphaned ToolCall primitive),
keep model badge + connection state + model picker + error banner —
those work because they're sidecar-local concerns. Surfacing tool calls
in the sidebar requires cross-process forwarding (PTY child opens a
back-WS to the dashboard, gateway tees emits onto stdio + sidecar
transport) — proper feature for a follow-up.
feat(web): wire ChatSidebar tool list to PTY child via /api/pub broadcast
The dashboard's /api/pty spawns hermes --tui as a child process; tool
events fire in the python tui_gateway grandchild and never crossed the
process boundary into the in-process WS sidecar — so the sidebar tool
list was always empty.
Cross-process forwarding:
- tui_gateway: TeeTransport (transport.py) + WsPublisherTransport
(event_publisher.py, sync websockets client). entry.py installs the
tee on _stdio_transport when HERMES_TUI_SIDECAR_URL is set, mirroring
every dispatcher emit to a back-WS without disturbing Ink's stdio
handshake.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: new /api/pub (publisher) + /api/events
(subscriber) endpoints with a per-channel registry. /api/pty now
accepts ?channel= and propagates the sidecar URL via env. start_server
also stashes app.state.bound_port so the URL is constructable.
- web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx: generates a channel UUID per mount,
passes it to /api/pty and as a prop to ChatSidebar.
- web/src/components/ChatSidebar.tsx: opens /api/events?channel=, fans
tool.start/progress/complete back into the ToolCall list. Restores
the ToolCall primitive.
Tests: 4 new TestPtyWebSocket cases cover channel propagation,
broadcast fan-out, and missing-channel rejection (10 PTY tests pass,
120 web_server tests overall).
fix(web): address Copilot review on #14890
Five threads, all real:
- gatewayClient.ts: register `message`/`close` listeners BEFORE awaiting
the open handshake. Server emits `gateway.ready` immediately after
accept, so a listener attached after the open promise could race past
the initial skin payload and lose it.
- ChatSidebar.tsx: wire `error`/`close` on the /api/events subscriber
WS into the existing error banner. 4401/4403 (auth/loopback reject)
surface as a "reload the page" message; mid-stream drops surface as
"events feed disconnected" with the existing reconnect button. Clean
unmount closes (1000/1001) stay silent.
- web-dashboard.md: install hint was `pip install hermes-agent[web]` but
ptyprocess lives in the `pty` extra, not `web`. Switch to
`hermes-agent[web,pty]` in both prerequisite blocks.
- AGENTS.md: previous "never add a parallel React chat surface" guidance
was overbroad and contradicted this PR's sidebar. Tightened to forbid
re-implementing the transcript/composer/PTY terminal while explicitly
allowing structured supporting widgets (sidebar / model picker /
inspectors), matching the actual architecture.
- web/package-lock.json: regenerated cleanly so the wterm sibling
workspace paths (extraneous machine-local entries) stop polluting CI.
Tests: 249/249 vitest, 10/10 PTY/events, web tsc clean.
refactor(web): /clean pass on ChatSidebar events handler
Spotted in the round-2 review:
- Banner flashed on clean unmount: `ws.close()` from the effect cleanup
fires `close` with code 1005, opened=true, neither 1000 nor 1001 —
hit the "unexpected drop" branch. Track `unmounting` in the effect
scope and gate the banner through a `surface()` helper so cleanup
closes stay silent.
- DRY the duplicated "events feed disconnected" string into a local
const used by both the error and close handlers.
- Drop the `opened` flag (no longer needed once the unmount guard is
the source of truth for "is this an expected close?").
Three interrupt-recovery sites in run_agent.py rebuilt self._anthropic_client
with build_anthropic_client(self._anthropic_api_key, ...) unconditionally.
When provider=bedrock + api_mode=anthropic_messages (AnthropicBedrock SDK
path), self._anthropic_api_key is the sentinel 'aws-sdk' — build_anthropic_client
doesn't accept that and the rebuild either crashed or produced a non-functional
client.
Extract a _rebuild_anthropic_client() helper that dispatches to
build_anthropic_bedrock_client(region) when provider='bedrock', falling back
to build_anthropic_client() for native Anthropic and other anthropic_messages
providers (MiniMax, Kimi, Alibaba, etc.). Three inline rebuild sites now call
the helper.
Partial salvage of #14680 by @bsgdigital — only the _rebuild_anthropic_client
helper. The normalize_model_name Bedrock-prefix piece was subsumed by #14664,
and the aux client aws_sdk branch was subsumed by #14770 (both in the same
salvage PR as this commit).
## Problem
When a pooled HTTPS connection to the Bedrock runtime goes stale (NAT
timeout, VPN flap, server-side TCP RST, proxy idle cull), the next
Converse call surfaces as one of:
* botocore.exceptions.ConnectionClosedError / ReadTimeoutError /
EndpointConnectionError / ConnectTimeoutError
* urllib3.exceptions.ProtocolError
* A bare AssertionError raised from inside urllib3 or botocore
(internal connection-pool invariant check)
The agent loop retries the request 3x, but the cached boto3 client in
_bedrock_runtime_client_cache is reused across retries — so every
attempt hits the same dead connection pool and fails identically.
Only a process restart clears the cache and lets the user keep working.
The bare-AssertionError variant is particularly user-hostile because
str(AssertionError()) is an empty string, so the retry banner shows:
⚠️ API call failed: AssertionError
📝 Error:
with no hint of what went wrong.
## Fix
Add two helpers to agent/bedrock_adapter.py:
* is_stale_connection_error(exc) — classifies exceptions that
indicate dead-client/dead-socket state. Matches botocore
ConnectionError + HTTPClientError subtrees, urllib3
ProtocolError / NewConnectionError, and AssertionError
raised from a frame whose module name starts with urllib3.,
botocore., or boto3.. Application-level AssertionErrors are
intentionally excluded.
* invalidate_runtime_client(region) — per-region counterpart to
the existing reset_client_cache(). Evicts a single cached
client so the next call rebuilds it (and its connection pool).
Wire both into the Converse call sites:
* call_converse() / call_converse_stream() in
bedrock_adapter.py (defense-in-depth for any future caller)
* The two direct client.converse(**kwargs) /
client.converse_stream(**kwargs) call sites in run_agent.py
(the paths the agent loop actually uses)
On a stale-connection exception, the client is evicted and the
exception re-raised unchanged. The agent's existing retry loop then
builds a fresh client on the next attempt and recovers without
requiring a process restart.
## Tests
tests/agent/test_bedrock_adapter.py gets three new classes (14 tests):
* TestInvalidateRuntimeClient — per-region eviction correctness;
non-cached region returns False.
* TestIsStaleConnectionError — classifies botocore
ConnectionClosedError / EndpointConnectionError /
ReadTimeoutError, urllib3 ProtocolError, library-internal
AssertionError (both urllib3.* and botocore.* frames), and
correctly ignores application-level AssertionError and
unrelated exceptions (ValueError, KeyError).
* TestCallConverseInvalidatesOnStaleError — end-to-end: stale
error evicts the cached client, non-stale error (validation)
leaves it alone, successful call leaves it cached.
All 116 tests in test_bedrock_adapter.py pass.

Bedrock's aws_sdk auth_type had no matching branch in
resolve_provider_client(), causing it to fall through to the
"unhandled auth_type" warning and return (None, None). This broke
all auxiliary tasks (compression, memory, summarization) for Bedrock
users — the main conversation loop worked fine, but background
context management silently failed.
Add an aws_sdk branch that creates an AnthropicAuxiliaryClient via
build_anthropic_bedrock_client(), using boto3's default credential
chain (IAM roles, SSO, env vars, instance metadata). Default
auxiliary model is Haiku for cost efficiency.
Closes#13919
## Problem
`get_model_context_length()` in `agent/model_metadata.py` had a resolution
order bug that caused every Bedrock model to fall back to the 128K default
context length instead of reaching the static Bedrock table (200K for
Claude, etc.).
The root cause: `bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com` is not listed in
`_URL_TO_PROVIDER`, so `_is_known_provider_base_url()` returned False.
The resolution order then ran the custom-endpoint probe (step 2) *before*
the Bedrock branch (step 4b), which:
1. Treated Bedrock as a custom endpoint (via `_is_custom_endpoint`).
2. Called `fetch_endpoint_model_metadata()` → `GET /models` on the
bedrock-runtime URL (Bedrock doesn't serve this shape).
3. Fell through to `return DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT` (128K) at the
"probe-down" branch — never reaching the Bedrock static table.
Result: users on Bedrock saw 128K context for Claude models that
actually support 200K on Bedrock, causing premature auto-compression.
## Fix
Promote the Bedrock branch from step 4b to step 1b, so it runs *before*
the custom-endpoint probe at step 2. The static table in
`bedrock_adapter.py::get_bedrock_context_length()` is the authoritative
source for Bedrock (the ListFoundationModels API doesn't expose context
window sizes), so there's no reason to probe `/models` first.
The original step 4b is replaced with a one-line breadcrumb comment
pointing to the new location, to make the resolution-order docstring
accurate.
## Changes
- `agent/model_metadata.py`
- Add step 1b: Bedrock static-table branch (unchanged predicate, moved).
- Remove dead step 4b block, replace with breadcrumb comment.
- Update resolution-order docstring to include step 1b.
- `tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py`
- New `TestBedrockContextResolution` class (3 tests):
- `test_bedrock_provider_returns_static_table_before_probe`:
confirms `provider="bedrock"` hits the static table and does NOT
call `fetch_endpoint_model_metadata` (regression guard).
- `test_bedrock_url_without_provider_hint`: confirms the
`bedrock-runtime.*.amazonaws.com` host match works without an
explicit `provider=` hint.
- `test_non_bedrock_url_still_probes`: confirms the probe still
fires for genuinely-custom endpoints (no over-reach).
## Testing
pytest tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py -q
# 83 passed in 1.95s (3 new + 80 existing)
## Risk
Very low.
- Predicate is identical to the original step 4b — no behaviour change
for non-Bedrock paths.
- Original step 4b was dead code for the user-facing case (always hit
the 128K fallback first), so removing it cannot regress behaviour.
- Bedrock path now short-circuits before any network I/O — faster too.
- `ImportError` fall-through preserved so users without `boto3`
installed are unaffected.
## Related
- This is a prerequisite for accurate context-window accounting on
Bedrock — the fix for #14710 (stale-connection client eviction)
depends on correct context sizing to know when to compress.

Bedrock model IDs use dots as namespace separators (anthropic.claude-opus-4-7,
us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-5-v1:0), not version separators.
normalize_model_name() was unconditionally converting all dots to hyphens,
producing invalid IDs that Bedrock rejects with HTTP 400/404.
This affected both the main agent loop (partially mitigated by
_anthropic_preserve_dots in run_agent.py) and all auxiliary client calls
(compression, session_search, vision, etc.) which go through
_AnthropicCompletionsAdapter and never pass preserve_dots=True.
Fix: add _is_bedrock_model_id() to detect Bedrock namespace prefixes
(anthropic., us., eu., ap., jp., global.) and skip dot-to-hyphen
conversion for these IDs regardless of the preserve_dots flag.
A child running a legitimately long-running tool (terminal command,
browser fetch, big file read) holds current_tool set and keeps
api_call_count frozen while the tool runs. The previous stale check
treated that as idle after 5 heartbeat cycles (~150s), stopped
touching the parent, and let the gateway kill the session.
Split the threshold in two:
- _HEARTBEAT_STALE_CYCLES_IDLE=5 (~150s) — applied only when
current_tool is None (child wedged between turns)
- _HEARTBEAT_STALE_CYCLES_IN_TOOL=20 (~600s) — applied when the child
is inside a tool call
Stale counter also resets when current_tool changes (new tool =
progress). The hard child_timeout_seconds (default 600s) is still
the final cap, so genuinely stuck tools don't get to block forever.
A — 'hermes tools' activation now runs the full Spotify wizard.
Previously a user had to (1) toggle the Spotify toolset on in 'hermes
tools' AND (2) separately run 'hermes auth spotify' to actually use
it. The second step was a discovery gap — the docs mentioned it but
nothing in the TUI pointed users there.
Now toggling Spotify on calls login_spotify_command as a post_setup
hook. If the user has no client_id yet, the interactive wizard walks
them through Spotify app creation; if they do, it skips straight to
PKCE. Either way, one 'hermes tools' pass leaves Spotify toggled on
AND authenticated. SystemExit from the wizard (user abort) leaves the
toolset enabled and prints a 'run: hermes auth spotify' hint — it
does NOT fail the toolset toggle.
Dropped the TOOL_CATEGORIES env_vars list for Spotify. The wizard
handles HERMES_SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID persistence itself, and asking users
to type env var names before the wizard fires was UX-backwards — the
point of the wizard is that they don't HAVE a client_id yet.
B — Docs page now covers cron + Spotify.
New 'Scheduling: Spotify + cron' section with two working examples
(morning playlist, wind-down pause) using the real 'hermes cron add'
CLI surface (verified via 'cron add --help'). Covers the active-device
gotcha, Premium gating, memory isolation, and links to the cron docs.
Also fixed a stale '9 Spotify tools' reference in the setup copy —
we consolidated to 7 tools in #15154.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py

Bug 3 — Stale OAuth token not detected in 'hermes model':
- _model_flow_anthropic used 'has_creds = bool(existing_key)' which treats
any non-empty token (including expired OAuth tokens) as valid.
- Added existing_is_stale_oauth check: if the only credential is an OAuth
token (sk-ant- prefix) with no valid cc_creds fallback, mark it stale
and force the re-auth menu instead of silently accepting a broken token.
Bug 4 — macOS Keychain credentials never read:
- Claude Code >=2.1.114 migrated from ~/.claude/.credentials.json to the
macOS Keychain under service 'Claude Code-credentials'.
- Added _read_claude_code_credentials_from_keychain() using the 'security'
CLI tool; read_claude_code_credentials() now tries Keychain first then
falls back to JSON file.
- Non-Darwin platforms return None from Keychain read immediately.
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_anthropic_keychain.py: 11 cases covering Darwin-only
guard, security command failures, JSON parsing, fallback priority.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_anthropic_model_flow_stale_oauth.py: 8 cases
covering stale OAuth detection, API key passthrough, cc_creds fallback.

FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#9813
Root cause: _is_oauth_token() only recognized sk-ant-* and eyJ* patterns,
but Claude Code OAuth tokens from CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN use cc- prefix

Moves the Spotify integration from tools/ into plugins/spotify/,
matching the existing pattern established by plugins/image_gen/ for
third-party service integrations.
Why:
- tools/ should be reserved for foundational capabilities (terminal,
read_file, web_search, etc.). tools/providers/ was a one-off
directory created solely for spotify_client.py.
- plugins/ is already the home for image_gen backends, memory
providers, context engines, and standalone hook-based plugins.
Spotify is a third-party service integration and belongs alongside
those, not in tools/.
- Future service integrations (eventually: Deezer, Apple Music, etc.)
now have a pattern to copy.
Changes:
- tools/spotify_tool.py → plugins/spotify/tools.py (handlers + schemas)
- tools/providers/spotify_client.py → plugins/spotify/client.py
- tools/providers/ removed (was only used for Spotify)
- New plugins/spotify/__init__.py with register(ctx) calling
ctx.register_tool() × 7. The handler/check_fn wiring is unchanged.
- New plugins/spotify/plugin.yaml (kind: backend, bundled, auto-load).
- tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py: import paths updated.
tools_config fix — _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS now wins over plugin auto-enable:
- _get_platform_tools() previously auto-enabled unknown plugin
toolsets for new platforms. That was fine for image_gen (which has
no toolset of its own) but bad for Spotify, which explicitly
requires opt-in (don't ship 7 tool schemas to users who don't use
it). Added a check: if a plugin toolset is in _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS,
it stays off until the user picks it in 'hermes tools'.
Pre-existing test bug fix:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::test_list_returns_sorted
asserted names were sorted, but list_plugins() sorts by key
(path-derived, e.g. image_gen/openai). With only image_gen plugins
bundled, name and key order happened to agree. Adding plugins/spotify
broke that coincidence (spotify sorts between openai-codex and xai
by name but after xai by key). Updated test to assert key order,
which is what the code actually documents.
Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_tools_config.py \
tests/hermes_cli/test_spotify_auth.py \
tests/tools/test_spotify_client.py \
tests/tools/test_registry.py
→ 143 passed
- E2E plugin load: 'spotify' appears in loaded plugins, all 7 tools
register into the spotify toolset, check_fn gating intact.
Three quality improvements on top of #15121 / #15130 / #15135:
1. Tool consolidation (9 → 7)
- spotify_saved_tracks + spotify_saved_albums → spotify_library with
kind='tracks'|'albums'. Handler code was ~90 percent identical
across the two old tools; the merge is a behavioral no-op.
- spotify_activity dropped. Its 'now_playing' action was a duplicate
of spotify_playback.get_currently_playing (both return identical
204/empty payloads). Its 'recently_played' action moves onto
spotify_playback as a new action — history belongs adjacent to
live state.
- Net: each API call ships 2 fewer tool schemas when the Spotify
toolset is enabled, and the action surface is more discoverable
(everything playback-related is on one tool).
2. Spotify skill (skills/media/spotify/SKILL.md)
Teaches the agent canonical usage patterns so common requests don't
balloon into 4+ tool calls:
- 'play X' = one search, then play by URI (not search + scan +
describe + play)
- 'what's playing' = single get_currently_playing (no preflight
get_state chain)
- Don't retry on '403 Premium required' or '403 No active device' —
both require user action
- URI/URL/bare-ID format normalization
- Full failure-mode reference for 204/401/403/429
3. Surfaced in 'hermes setup' tool status
Adds 'Spotify (PKCE OAuth)' to the tool status list when
auth.json has a Spotify access/refresh token. Matches the
homeassistant pattern but reads from auth.json (OAuth-based) rather
than env vars.
Docs updated to reflect the new 7-tool surface, and mention the
companion skill in the 'Using it' section.
Tests: 54 passing (client 22, auth 15, tools_config 35 — 18 = 54 after
renaming/replacing the spotify_activity tests with library +
recently_played coverage). Docusaurus build clean.
Salvage of the Gemini-specific piece from PR #12585 by @briandevans.
Gemini's OpenAI-compat /v1beta/openai/models endpoint returns IDs prefixed
with 'models/' (native Gemini-API convention), so set-membership against
curated bare IDs drops every model. Strip the prefix before comparison.
The Anthropic static-catalog piece of #12585 was subsumed by #12618's
_fetch_anthropic_models() branch landing earlier in the same salvage PR.
Full branch cherry-pick was skipped because it also carried unrelated
catalog-version regressions.
The generic /v1/models probe in validate_requested_model() sent a plain
'Authorization: Bearer <key>' header, which works for OpenAI-compatible
endpoints but results in a 401 Unauthorized from Anthropic's API.
Anthropic requires x-api-key + anthropic-version headers (or Bearer for
OAuth tokens from Claude Code).
Add a provider-specific branch for normalized == 'anthropic' that calls
the existing _fetch_anthropic_models() helper, which already handles
both regular API keys and Claude Code OAuth tokens correctly. This
mirrors the pattern already used for openai-codex, copilot, and bedrock.
The branch also includes:
- fuzzy auto-correct (cutoff 0.9) for near-exact model ID typos
- fuzzy suggestions (cutoff 0.5) when the model is not listed
- graceful fall-through when the token cannot be resolved or the
network is unreachable (accepts with a warning rather than hard-fail)
- a note that newer/preview/snapshot model IDs can be gate-listed
and may still work even if not returned by /v1/models
Fixes Anthropic provider users seeing 'service unreachable' errors
when running /model <claude-model> because every probe 401'd.
- probe_api_models: add api_mode param; use x-api-key + anthropic-version
headers for anthropic_messages mode (Anthropic's native Models API auth)
- probe_api_models: add User-Agent header to avoid Cloudflare 403 blocks
on third-party OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- validate_requested_model: pass api_mode through from switch_model
- validate_requested_model: for anthropic_messages mode, attempt probe with
correct auth; if probe fails (many proxies don't implement /v1/models),
accept the model with an informational warning instead of rejecting
- fetch_api_models: propagate api_mode to probe_api_models
Regression test for #14981. Verifies that _session_expiry_watcher fires
on_session_finalize for each session swept out of the store, matching
the contract documented for /new, /reset, CLI shutdown, and gateway stop.
Verified the test fails cleanly on pre-fix code (hook call list missing
sess-expired) and passes with the fix applied.
The initial Spotify docs page shipped in #15130 was a setup guide. This
expands it into a full feature reference:
- Per-tool parameter table for all 9 tools, extracted from the real
schemas in tools/spotify_tool.py (actions, required/optional args,
premium gating).
- Free vs Premium feature matrix — which actions work on which tier,
so Free users don't assume Spotify tools are useless to them.
- Active-device prerequisite called out at the top; this is the #1
cause of '403 no active device' reports for every Spotify
integration.
- SSH / headless section explaining that browser auto-open is skipped
when SSH_CLIENT/SSH_TTY is set, and how to tunnel the callback port.
- Token lifecycle: refresh on 401, persistence across restarts, how
to revoke server-side via spotify.com/account/apps.
- Example prompt list so users know what to ask the agent.
- Troubleshooting expanded: no-active-device, Premium-required, 204
now_playing, INVALID_CLIENT, 429, 401 refresh-revoked, wizard not
opening browser.
- 'Where things live' table mapping auth.json / .env / Spotify app.
Verified with 'node scripts/prebuild.mjs && npx docusaurus build'
— page compiles, no new warnings.
When the primary provider raises AuthError (expired OAuth token,
revoked API key), the error was re-raised before AIAgent was created,
so fallback_model was never consulted. Now both gateway/run.py and
cron/scheduler.py catch AuthError specifically and attempt to resolve
credentials from the fallback_providers/fallback_model config chain
before propagating the error.
Closes#7230
Try to activate fallback model after errors was calling get_model_context_length()
without the config_context_length parameter, causing it to fall through to
DEFAULT_FALLBACK_CONTEXT (128K) even when config.yaml has an explicit
model.context_length value (e.g. 204800 for MiniMax-M2.7).
This mirrors the fix already present in switch_model() at line 1988, which
correctly passes config_context_length. The fallback path was missed.
Fixes: context_length forced to 128K on fallback activation
ssl.SSLError (and its subclass ssl.SSLCertVerificationError) inherits from
OSError *and* ValueError via Python's MRO. The is_local_validation_error
check used isinstance(api_error, (ValueError, TypeError)) to detect
programming bugs that should abort immediately — but this inadvertently
caught ssl.SSLError, treating a TLS transport failure as a non-retryable
client error.
The error classifier already maps SSLCertVerificationError to
FailoverReason.timeout with retryable=True (its type name is in
_TRANSPORT_ERROR_TYPES), but the inline isinstance guard was overriding
that classification and triggering an unnecessary abort.
Fix: add ssl.SSLError to the exclusion list alongside the existing
UnicodeEncodeError carve-out so TLS errors fall through to the
classifier's retryable path.
Closes#14367
Two small fixes triggered by a support report where the user saw a
cryptic 'HTTP 400 - Error 400 (Bad Request)!!1' (Google's GFE HTML
error page, not a real API error) on every gemini-2.5-pro request.
The underlying cause was an empty GOOGLE_API_KEY / GEMINI_API_KEY, but
nothing in our output made that diagnosable:
1. hermes_cli/dump.py: the api_keys section enumerated 23 providers but
omitted Google entirely, so users had no way to verify from 'hermes
dump' whether the key was set. Added GOOGLE_API_KEY and GEMINI_API_KEY
rows.
2. agent/gemini_native_adapter.py: GeminiNativeClient.__init__ accepted
an empty/whitespace api_key and stamped it into the x-goog-api-key
header, which made Google's frontend return a generic HTML 400 long
before the request reached the Generative Language backend. Now we
raise RuntimeError at construction with an actionable message
pointing at GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY and aistudio.google.com.
Added a regression test that covers '', ' ', and None.
