Preservation snapshot of three in-progress OpenTUI threads before merging main
(gate-green together: npm run check 821 tests, 0 lint/type errors):
- todo panel (todoPanel/todoTool + App/statusBar/transcript/store wiring,
☑ done/total status chip, latestTodos snapshot)
- OpenTUI memoryMonitor (boundary+logic+test; the inverse of the Ink memlog port)
- env: resolveMouseEnabled/envToggle/startupPrompt, HERMES_TUI_MOUSE +
HERMES_TUI_PROMPT aliases, startup-image attach in main.tsx
- termChrome refactor
Not yet split per-feature; commit boundary is the pre-merge clean point.
The model was enumerating options inside the question string (dead prose the UI
can't render as pickable rows). Schema description now spells out: choices[] is
REQUIRED for selectable options; question holds ONLY the question.
Ink had no continuous memory trace (only point-in-time heapdumps + a threshold
monitor), so HERMES_TUI_DIAGNOSTICS=1 gave OpenTUI dogfood data with no Ink
equivalent. Port OpenTUI's memlog collector to Ink so both engines emit
byte-identical ~/.hermes/logs/memwatch/<boot>-<pid>.jsonl traces feeding one
memwatch-report.mjs.
- lib/memlog.ts: 1Hz unref'd sampler, {t,rss_kb,heap_used_kb,external_kb}
(no mounted — Ink has no windowing), 14-day prune, silent-disable on error
- gated by HERMES_TUI_MEMLOG defaulting to the HERMES_TUI_DIAGNOSTICS master
switch (same as OpenTUI — one export covers both engines)
- wired into entry.tsx alongside the existing monitor; stop on beforeExit
- lib/memlog.test.ts: gate/schema/retention/silent-disable (7 tests)
- docs/ink-env-flags.md (new) + docs/opentui-env-flags.md updated
_configured_terminal_cwd and _registered_task_cwd_override carried a
byte-identical sentinel + expanduser + isabs validation tail. Extract it
into _sentinel_free_abs_cwd(raw) so the relative/sentinel rejection rule
lives in one place. Behaviour unchanged (the str() coercion the override
path relied on is preserved in the helper).
The session-cwd fix inserted a registered task/session cwd override step
between the live-cwd and $TERMINAL_CWD fallbacks, but three docstrings still
described the old two-step order — _resolve_base_dir's numbered list was
outright wrong. Update _authoritative_workspace_root, _resolve_base_dir, and
_path_resolution_warning to reflect the actual four-step resolution order.
No behaviour change.
The raw-key-first-then-collapsed override lookup was hand-rolled in three
places with subtly different spellings: terminal_tool's command setup, and
both file_tools._registered_task_cwd_override and _get_file_ops. Since that
exact raw-vs-collapsed invariant is what the session-cwd fix depends on,
keeping three copies invites the drift that caused the original bug.
Add terminal_tool.resolve_task_overrides(task_id) as the single source and
route all three sites through it. Behaviour is unchanged (verified
byte-equivalent across raw/collapsed/isolation/None/subagent inputs).
The supervised `gateway-default` s6 slot runs bare `hermes gateway run`
(no -p) to mean "the root HERMES_HOME profile". But `_apply_profile_override`
falls through its #22502 HERMES_HOME guard for the container root
(/opt/data, whose parent is not `profiles`) and reads the sticky
`active_profile` file. If the user set another profile active (e.g. via
the dashboard), the reserved default gateway gets redirected into that
profile — producing a duplicate gateway for the active profile and no
real default gateway. The profile page and `gateway status` then
correctly report default as "not running" because there genuinely isn't
one.
Guard step 2 (the sticky active_profile fallback) with the existing
HERMES_S6_SUPERVISED_CHILD sentinel that the container run-script already
exports. Supervised named-profile slots pass -p explicitly (step 1, never
reaches step 2); only the bare default slot was affected. Inert outside
the s6 container — the sentinel is never set elsewhere.
Reported in the 'Docker & Profiles & Dashboard' support thread.
The unified machine-dashboard reroute (cmd_dashboard) re-execs a named-profile
dashboard launch as the machine dashboard and dropped HERMES_HOME from the
child env with the comment "so the child binds the machine root". That holds
for a standard install (root == ~/.hermes) but breaks the Docker layout: the
published image sets `ENV HERMES_HOME=/opt/data`, so once HERMES_HOME is unset
the child falls back to $HOME/.hermes = /opt/data/.hermes — an empty,
auto-seeded home.
Two user-visible symptoms, one root cause (reported via support):
1. Dashboard Profiles page shows only an empty `default` — the real
default/oracle/saga profiles live under /opt/data/profiles, but the
rerouted child resolves _get_profiles_root() to /opt/data/.hermes/profiles.
2. The "Update Hermes" button runs `hermes update` inside the container
repeatedly instead of bailing with the docker-update guidance. The Docker
guard keys off detect_install_method(), which reads
$HERMES_HOME/.install_method; the image stamps that at /opt/data, but the
misresolved home has no stamp, no HERMES_MANAGED, and no .git → falls
through to "pip", so the guard never fires.
The reporter's workaround was to bind-mount the host dir at both /opt/data and
/opt/data/.hermes so the two paths converge (at the cost of a self-referential
recursion).
Fix: resolve the machine root explicitly with get_default_hermes_root() and set
it on the child env instead of popping HERMES_HOME. That helper returns the
root for both layouts — ~/.hermes for a standard install, and /opt/data for
Docker (it strips a trailing profiles/<name>). Falls back to the old pop
behaviour only if root resolution raises, so the reroute is never blocked.
Regression tests in test_dashboard_unified_launch.py: the existing standard-
install test now asserts the child carries HERMES_HOME == get_default_hermes_root()
(not absent), and a new test_reexec_pins_docker_machine_root covers the Docker
layout (HERMES_HOME=/opt/data/profiles/oracle → child gets /opt/data). Both
fail against the pre-fix pop behaviour (mutation-verified).

* fix(gateway): chown logs/gateways parent so late-added profiles can log
The per-profile log service script created $HERMES_HOME/logs/gateways/
via 'mkdir -p' but only chowned the leaf logs/gateways/<profile>. When
the first log service boots in root context, the gateways/ parent stays
root:root; every profile registered later runs its log service as the
dropped hermes user, 'mkdir -p' fails with EACCES, and s6-log enters a
sub-second fatal crash-loop flooding the container log. The stage2
recursive heal does not catch it either: it is gated on needs_chown,
which is false when the top-level $HERMES_HOME is already hermes-owned.
Two complementary fixes:
- service_manager._render_log_run: chown the gateways/ parent
(non-recursively) before the leaf chown. Runs on every root-context
boot, so it also heals volumes already poisoned by older images.
- docker/stage2-hook.sh: seed logs/gateways in the as_hermes mkdir -p
block; cont-init runs before any service starts, so the parent
already exists hermes-owned when the first log/run does 'mkdir -p'.
The needs_chown repair loop needs no twin entry: it already chowns
logs/ recursively, which covers logs/gateways.

On Windows, native Python extensions such as _bcrypt.pyd are loaded as
DLLs by any running hermes process. When the installer tries to recreate
the venv (Remove-Item -Recurse -Force "venv"), Windows denies the delete
because the DLL is still mapped into the running process.
Add a taskkill /F /T /IM hermes.exe call before the Remove-Item so any
hermes process tree is stopped first, releasing the file lock. A short
sleep gives the OS time to unload the image before deletion proceeds.
This mirrors the existing force_kill_other_hermes() guard already present
in the --update flow (update.rs), applying the same pattern to the full
reinstall/repair path through install.ps1.

The collapsed-pane hover-reveal trigger strip (14px wide, 6px edge
gutter) overlapped the neighboring scroller's 8px .scrollbar-dt
scrollbar, which sits flush with the window edge when the rail panes
are collapsed. Hovering the scrollbar revealed the file browser over
it, and clicks on the overlapped band hit the trigger instead of the
scrollbar thumb.
Widen the edge gutter to calc(0.5rem + 2px) so the strip clears the
scrollbar (rem-coupled to the .scrollbar-dt width) while still
covering the OS window-resize grab area inset.
Part of #44140 (item 2).

* fix(s6): prevent profile create from auto-starting gateway service
When hermes profile create runs inside an s6 container,
_maybe_register_gateway_service() calls register_profile_gateway()
which creates the service directory and triggers s6-svscanctl -a.
Previously the service always started immediately, causing profiles
that share the main gateway's bot token (e.g. Kanban worker profiles)
to fail with a token-lock conflict and persist gateway_state: running
— becoming zombies that resurrect on every container restart.
Wire the existing start_now parameter through the S6 implementation:
when start_now=False, write a marker file (same pattern as
container_boot.py _register_gateway_slot) so s6-supervise leaves the
service stopped until the user explicitly runs hermes -p <profile>
gateway start.
4 files, +61/-6, 4 new tests (all passing).
* test(docker): wait for gateway running state before restart

Remove the free Parallel Search MCP path and restore the keyed Parallel backend behavior from before it was introduced.
Also drops the keyless fallback registration/display labeling tests and returns the Parallel SDK pin to the prior version.
GLM-5.2 ships with a 1M (1,048,576) token context window. Without this
entry, Hermes falls through to the generic 'glm' key (202,752 tokens),
under-reporting the context bar and prematurely compressing conversations.
The 1M limit was verified empirically via needle-in-a-haystack retrieval
at 789,240 prompt tokens on api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4 — zero errors,
zero truncation, correct retrieval at every tested size (25K through 789K).
Changes:
- agent/model_metadata.py: add 'glm-5.2': 1_048_576 before 'glm' fallback
- hermes_cli/models.py: add glm-5.2 to zai curated models
- hermes_cli/setup.py: add glm-5.2 to setup wizard zai list
- hermes_cli/auth.py: add glm-5.2 to coding plan endpoint probes
- plugins/model-providers/zai/__init__.py: add glm-5.2 to fallback_models
- tests/agent/test_model_metadata.py: context resolution + vendor-prefix tests
The #45966 cross-process coherence guard snapshots a session's on-disk
message_count next to the cached agent and rebuilds the agent when the
count changes. But the snapshot is taken at agent-BUILD time — before
the turn writes its own user + assistant (+ tool) rows — and the cache
entry is never rewritten on a reuse. So this process's OWN turn grows
message_count, and the very next turn sees a mismatch and rebuilds the
agent. That happens every turn, for every conversation, silently
destroying the per-conversation prompt caching the cache exists to
protect (AGENTS.md: prompt caching is sacred).
Add _refresh_agent_cache_message_count(): after a turn completes and the
agent has flushed its rows to the SessionDB, re-baseline the stored count
to the now-current value. The guard then fires ONLY when a DIFFERENT
process changes the transcript — preserving the #45966 fix while keeping
the cache warm for normal single-process operation.
Tests drive the real SessionDB + the real guard condition: 5 consecutive
same-process turns now all REUSE the cached agent (0 before the fix); a
cross-process append still invalidates; and the re-baseline is fail-safe
(no DB, falsy session_id, raising probe, legacy 2-tuple, pending sentinel
all no-op).
The platform-disabled fix landed only in agent.skill_utils.get_disabled_skill_names
(the system-prompt path). Two sibling resolvers still used the old
replace-not-union semantics, so the same skill could be hidden from the
<available_skills> prompt yet reported enabled elsewhere:
- hermes_cli/skills_config.get_disabled_skills (the 'hermes skills config' UI)
returned only the platform list, so a globally-disabled skill showed as
enabled (unchecked) on any platform with a platform_disabled entry.
- tools/skills_tool._is_skill_disabled (gates whether skill_view loads a skill)
ignored the global list when a platform list existed, so a globally-disabled
skill could still be loaded on such a platform.
Both now union the global list with the platform list, matching
get_disabled_skill_names. An explicit empty platform list no longer re-enables
a globally-disabled skill — global disables hold on every platform (#46201).
Also: fix the now-stale get_disabled_skill_names docstring and drop a stray
blank line. Regression tests added for both sites (proven to fail on the old
replace semantics).
build_skills_system_prompt() already resolved _platform_hint but called
get_disabled_skill_names() with no argument, so the resolved platform never
reached the filter and the prompt cache_key varied by platform while the
disabled set did not. Pass _platform_hint or None.
get_disabled_skill_names() also fully ignored the global 'disabled' list once
a platform-specific list was found. Return the union (global | platform) so a
globally-disabled skill stays disabled on every platform.
Salvaged from #46203 by @iborazzi; the unrelated apps/shared/tsconfig.json
ES2023 bump is intentionally dropped (one concern per PR).
Three changes to prevent infinite re-execution loops when a user sends
a new message while long-running tools are executing:
1. Filter interrupted tool results in _build_gateway_agent_history:
skip tool messages whose content contains [Command interrupted] or
exit_code 130 — they represent partial execution, not valid results.
2. Don't replay auto-continue notes as user messages: detect
gateway-injected [System note: ...] / [IMPORTANT: ...] prefixes
and skip them in _build_gateway_agent_history so the LLM doesn't
see 4+ messages from 'the user' telling it to finish old work.
3. Fix the wording: the system note now instructs the model to
address the user's NEW message FIRST, IGNORE pending results,
and NOT re-execute old tool calls.
Closes#45230
Port 465 expects implicit TLS (SMTP_SSL) from the first byte. The email
adapter always used SMTP() + starttls(), which is correct for port 587
but hangs/fails on port 465 providers (e.g., Swiss ISPs).
Additionally, when the SMTP host has AAAA DNS records but IPv6 is
unreachable, socket.create_connection() tries IPv6 first and hangs
until timeout. Add an IPv4 fallback via AF_INET socket.
Extract _connect_smtp() helper to consolidate the 4 duplicate SMTP
connection sites into a single method with correct protocol selection
and IPv6 fallback logic.
The default lumpy-turn fixture's tool bodies are tiny (2/7/18 short lines), so
W3 (HERMES_TUI_TOOL_OUTPUTS=off) shows no RSS delta at realistic sizes — the
saved bytes sit below the ~20MB run-to-run noise floor. This adds an env knob
to scale every tool result body to N lines, making the retention asymmetry
measurable in the bench (a `find /` / big-file-read class fixture).
UNSET = the original tiny bodies, byte-identical — existing benches and the
determinism digest are unaffected. Set HERMES_BENCH_TOOL_BODY_LINES=N (the
bench harness inherits it at fixture-generation time) for a fat run.
Measured with this (mem300, ~100KB/tool, ~27MB retained tool text): OpenTUI
OFF 244-259MB vs ON 260-261MB vs Ink 269-279MB — i.e. W3 OFF is a real
~5-15MB win at heavy output, and OpenTUI's windowing actually beats Ink at
scale (Ink mounts every row; OpenTUI windows).
Gateway startup now queues real inbound messages until restart-interrupted auto-resume turns have completed, preventing duplicate agents for the same session after a restart.
