When display.memory_notifications is set to 'verbose', skill_manage
notifications now show meaningful change details instead of just the
generic tool message.
Before (verbose mode):
💾📝 Patched SKILL.md in skill 'gogcli' (1 replacement).
After (verbose mode):
💾📝 Skill 'gogcli' patched: "old pitfall text..." → "new pitfall text..."
Changes:
- skill_manager_tool.py: _patch_skill() now includes old/new string
previews (truncated to 200 chars) in the result via '_change' key.
_create_skill() and _edit_skill() include skill description from
frontmatter for verbose create/edit notifications.
- run_agent.py: Background review notification builder now reads the
'_change' dict from skill tool results and formats descriptive
notifications per action type (patch → old→new diff, create/edit →
description preview). Falls back to generic message when _change
data is unavailable (backwards compatible).
This is especially useful when subagents patch skills, since neither
the user nor the parent agent can see what the subagent changed.
Background memory reviews now support three notification modes,
configured via display.memory_notifications in config.yaml:
off — no chat notification (still logged to stdout/HA log)
on — generic '💾 Memory updated' (default, unchanged behavior)
verbose — content preview with action indicators:
💾 Memory ➕ Hermes Repo liegt unter /config/amy/hermes-agent/...
💾 Memory ✏️ Updated repo path from claude-code to hermes-agent...
💾 Memory ➖ old entry about claude-code path...
Previews are truncated to 120 chars for adds/replaces, 60 for removes.
Each action gets its own line in verbose mode for readability.
Files: run_agent.py, gateway/run.py
Streamed Telegram replies that finalize through editMessageText were
converted to MarkdownV2, which has no table syntax and rewrites pipe
tables into bullet lists — users saw a table while streaming that
collapsed to a list at the last moment.
Finalize now edits the existing preview IN PLACE via Bot API 10.1's
editMessageText rich_message parameter when the content has constructs
the legacy path degrades (tables, task lists, <details>, block math).
No fresh send + delete, so no duplicate-preview flicker — the reason
#46206 reverted the fresh-final re-send path. prefers_fresh_final_streaming
stays False; the in-place edit replaces it.
- _needs_rich_rendering(): rich reserved for table/task-list/details/math
(adapted from #45995, @YonganZhang); plain replies stay on MarkdownV2.
- _try_edit_rich(): editMessageText + rich_message via do_api_request,
mirroring _try_send_rich's fallback/latch/transient contract.
- edit_message finalize tries rich in place before the 4,096 overflow
pre-flight (rich cap is 32,768), falling back to legacy on rejection.
- rich_messages default flipped back to True (DEFAULT_CONFIG + adapter).
- docs (en + zh-Hans) + cli-config example updated to default-on.
Closes the root cause behind #45911 / #46009.
On a remote gateway connection, agent-written files live on the gateway
host, not the desktop's disk, so the Artifacts view's file:// hrefs failed
("Invalid external URL") and image thumbnails broke.
Make mediaExternalUrl() remote-aware in one place: in remote mode it
rewrites gateway-local paths to GET /api/files/download (a new endpoint
that streams the file as a Content-Disposition: attachment). The artifacts
view now resolves through it, and so do the existing chat-media and
generated-image callers, for free.
The download endpoint stays auth-gated; auth_middleware additionally
accepts the session token as a ?token= query param for this one path so a
shell/browser-opened download (which can't set the session header) still
authenticates — the same query-token tradeoff as the /api/pty WebSocket.
It is NOT added to PUBLIC_API_PATHS.
Salvages #46663 (which carried ~19k lines of CRLF noise and made the
endpoint public). Reimplemented on a clean LF base with the security hole
closed and tests added.

* fix(skills): guard recursive skill delete against tree-escape
Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#11240. Their issue #11227 lost a user's entire
working directory: a built-in-skill sentinel location resolved to the server
cwd and the skill-removal endpoint ran a recursive delete on it.
Hermes' /skills uninstall path (skills_hub.py) is already hardened, but the
agent-facing skill_manage(action='delete') path did a bare
shutil.rmtree(skill_dir) with no last-line validation. Add _validate_delete_target():
refuse to rmtree a path that (1) isn't strictly inside a known skills root,
(2) is a skills root itself, or (3) is reached via a symlink/junction.
Tests: 4 cases (normal delete works; symlinked dir, skills-root, out-of-tree
all refused). E2E verified with real symlink + file I/O.
* fix(delegation): forward background flag in delegate_task dispatch
delegate_task is an _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS member, so every surface (CLI,
gateway, desktop/TUI) routes it through AIAgent._dispatch_delegate_task.
That forwarder passed every schema field except background, so
delegate_task(background=true) was silently downgraded to a synchronous
run and returned the sync results payload instead of a delegation_id.
The model sees background in the schema (the call validates), but the
value never reached the function. Add the one missing kwarg so async
background delegation actually engages.
Port from Kilo-Org/kilocode#11240. Their issue #11227 lost a user's entire
working directory: a built-in-skill sentinel location resolved to the server
cwd and the skill-removal endpoint ran a recursive delete on it.

Collapse segmentMergeIndex + mergeTextInto + the three append helpers
into a single segment-aware appendStreamPart core plus a part-factory
table. Same behavior, DRY.
Models that interleave their reasoning_content and content token streams
(Kimi/DeepSeek/GLM-style routes) emit text -> reasoning -> text deltas
within a single tool-bounded segment. Appending each delta as its own
part shredded one sentence into "Let me" / Thinking / "verify the file",
with a Thinking disclosure wedged mid-sentence.
Coalesce streaming deltas into the most recent same-type part within the
current segment (bounded by any non-streaming part, e.g. a tool call).
The opposite streaming channel is transparent, so a reasoning burst
between two content deltas no longer opens a fresh text part, while a
real tool call still starts a new segment and preserves narration order.
Data-layer only; the renderer already groups consecutive reasoning.
* feat(skills): add optional payments skills (Stripe Link, MPP, Projects)
Adds four optional skills under optional-skills/payments/ wrapping the
Stripe Link CLI, the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) clients, and the
Stripe Projects CLI plugin. Plus a router skill (payments) that picks
between them based on user intent.
All four are gated [linux, macos] — Stripe's Link CLI does not yet
support Windows. The other CLIs (mppx, stripe projects) are
cross-platform on paper but the payments cluster moves as a unit until
Link CLI gains Windows support.
Skills:
- stripe-link-cli - one-time virtual cards + Shared Payment Tokens
- mpp-agent - HTTP 402 payments via mppx/Tempo/Privy/AgentCash
- stripe-projects - provision SaaS services + credential sync
- payments - router/index skill for the cluster
Hard invariants encoded in every skill:
- Card PANs/wallet keys never enter agent transcripts, logs, or memory
- Spend approvals are not self-bypassable (Link app / wallet UI / CLI prompt)
- Final totals confirmed with user before any --request-approval call
- Credential output files cleaned up after one-time use
Zero core touches. Skills install via:
hermes skills install official/payments/<skill>
* chore(skills/payments): drop router skill — skills shouldn't depend on other skills
Removed optional-skills/payments/payments/ — the router skill that
existed to hand off between stripe-link-cli, mpp-agent, and
stripe-projects.
Per project convention: skills should be independently loadable; a
router is a footgun because (a) it assumes the loader will follow its
recommendation rather than just loading what the user asked for, and
(b) it duplicates the trigger logic that already lives in each
sub-skill's '## When to Use' section.
The three remaining skills declare their own triggers and routing
hints. The optional-skills catalog still groups them under '## payments',
which is the appropriate place for cluster-level discoverability.
Also drops 'payments' from each remaining skill's 'related_skills' list
and removes the corresponding entries from the docs catalog + sidebars.
* feat(skills/payments): fold in danhill-stripe review feedback
- mpp-agent: add link-cli as a client option (when Link is already set
up, or the 402 challenge advertises method="stripe")
- stripe-link-cli: reframe Link account / payment method / approval app
as first-run setup, not hard preconditions (CLI configures them on
first run)
- regenerate the two affected optional-skills docs pages
The Honcho provider page documented the per-profile peer model (user
peer / AI peer / observation) but never the gateway axis — how platform
runtime IDs map to peers. Adds the three keys to the config table and a
short Gateway identity mapping subsection that points at the Honcho page
for the resolver ladder.
Uses the corrected pinUserPeer wording (pins non-agent users, overrides
aliases) so the provider-comparison reader gets the same accurate framing
as the dedicated page.
'everyone collapses to your peer' read as a promise about all traffic.
pinUserPeer pins the user-side peer and is checked before userPeerAliases
(session.py:335), so a pin overrides every alias — including agent peers.
For a multi-agent operator that silently pools distinct agents onto one
peer, the opposite of intent.
Scopes the wording to 'every non-agent gateway user', notes the pin
overrides aliases, and points agent-mesh operators at pinUserPeer:false +
userPeerAliases instead. Same correction in the wizard menu/echo text,
the plugin README, and the website Honcho page.
* feat(delegation): async background subagents via delegate_task(background=true)
delegate_task(background=true) dispatches a subagent that runs in the
background and returns a handle immediately, so the user and model keep
working while it runs. The full result — plus the original task source —
re-enters the conversation as a new turn when the subagent finishes,
riding the same completion-queue rail as terminal background processes.
- tools/async_delegation.py: daemon-executor registry, capacity cap,
rich self-contained completion event pushed onto the shared
process_registry.completion_queue (type='async_delegation').
- delegate_tool.py: background param + single-task dispatch branch;
batch async rejected (v1).
- process_registry.py: format_process_notification renders the rich
task-source block (goal/context/toolsets/model/status/result).
- gateway/run.py: dedicated _async_delegation_watcher drains + injects
results into the originating session (idle + post-turn), session_key
routing enrichment, shutdown interrupt of dangling delegations.
- config: delegation.max_async_children (default 3).
Reuses the existing idle-drain wiring rather than mutating a running
agent loop, preserving message-role alternation and prompt-cache
invariants. 13 targeted tests; CLI + gateway paths E2E-verified.
* test(delegation): make async non-blocking tests environment-independent
CI 'test (5)' flaked on a cold, 8-worker runner: the first
delegate_task(background=true) call measured 2.27s of one-time setup
(config load + child-agent construction + imports), tripping the
elapsed < 1.0 wall-clock assertion. That assertion was testing setup
overhead, not blocking.
Replace the wall-clock thresholds with the real invariant: dispatch
returns while the child is still gated (active_count == 1, completion
queue empty), which a synchronous impl could not do. Keep only a loose
4s sanity backstop well under the runner's 5s gate.
* fix(delegation): harden async background delegation
Follow-up review fixes:
- Detach background child from parent._active_children at dispatch —
otherwise parent-turn interrupts (Ctrl+C, mid-turn steering), cache
evicts (release_clients), and session close (/new) kill/close the
detached subagent mid-run, defeating the point of background mode.
Lifecycle is owned by the async registry's interrupt_fn.
- Make the capacity check atomic with the record insert (TOCTOU: two
concurrent dispatches could both pass active_count() and exceed the cap).
- TUI dedup: key async_delegation events by delegation_id — the
fallthrough keyed them all as ("", type), suppressing every completion
after the first in the desktop/TUI status feed.
- CLI /stop now interrupts running background delegations and /agents
lists them (they live outside the process registry and were invisible).
- Drop stray unbalanced ']' line from the re-injection block and the
unused _ASYNC_DEFAULT import.
Tests: detach-at-dispatch + concurrent-capacity race added (15 total in
test_async_delegation.py); 137 delegate + 140 process-registry/notify/watch
+ 7 TUI dedup tests pass.
* fix(delegation): harden async background completion drains
A GUI app launched from Explorer inherits the environment block captured at
login, so a HERMES_HOME set via 'setx' AFTER login is invisible in process.env
even though the CLI (a fresh shell) sees it. The desktop then silently fell
back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes and reported 'No inference provider configured'
despite a valid configured home (#45471).
resolveHermesHome() now consults the live HKCU\Environment registry value on
Windows before the LOCALAPPDATA default. New windows-user-env.cjs helper parses
'reg query' output, expands %VAR% refs, and fails safe (returns null off-Windows,
on spawn error, or empty value). The registry value is normalized through the
same normalizeHermesHomeRoot() path as the env var for consistency.

When a desktop/dashboard session had no agent built yet and the user explicitly
picked a provider in the model picker, config.set('model', ...) would first try
to initialize the agent from the (possibly broken) config default provider —
failing before the user's explicit switch could take effect, trapping them on a
misconfigured default.
config.set now pre-parses the model flags: if an explicit --provider is present
and no agent exists yet, it skips the default-provider agent build and routes
straight through _apply_model_switch with the explicit provider. _apply_model_switch
gained a parsed_flags passthrough (avoids double-parsing) and only falls back to
resolve_runtime_provider(requested=None) when no explicit provider was given.
The desktop hook now sends config.set instead of slash.exec for active-session
model changes, so errors from the selected provider surface to the user instead
of being swallowed.

Verifies `hermes debug` surfaces a TERMINAL_ENV override of
terminal.backend, reports the config value when no override is present,
and emits no spurious note when env and config agree.
`terminal.backend` in config.yaml is bridged to the TERMINAL_ENV env var,
but a TERMINAL_ENV set in .env / the shell overrides config and is what
terminal_tool actually uses. The dump printed only the config value, so a
user whose agent was jailed in a docker/podman sandbox via a stale
TERMINAL_ENV still saw `terminal: local` — hiding the real cause. Report
the effective backend and flag when TERMINAL_ENV overrides config.yaml.
When a user-defined provider (e.g. litellm-proxy) and an aggregator
(e.g. openrouter) both advertise the same model name, the Desktop/TUI
model picker would show the model under both groups. Selecting it from
the aggregator row silently set model.provider to the aggregator,
breaking calls because the aggregator doesn't actually serve that model
ID.
Fix: after list_authenticated_providers() returns, collect all models
from user-defined provider rows and filter them out of aggregator rows.
Uses is_aggregator() from hermes_cli/providers.py to identify
aggregators. Case-insensitive matching.
Fixes#45954
NVIDIA NIM API uses vendor-prefixed model IDs (e.g. qwen/qwen3.5-122b-a10b,
nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b). The doctor command incorrectly warns that
vendor-prefixed slugs belong to aggregators like openrouter when nvidia is
the configured provider.
Add 'nvidia' to the providers_accepting_vendor_slugs set so doctor no longer
raises false-positive warnings for valid NVIDIA NIM configurations.
Fixes#35425

electron-builder 26.8.x can stage an Electron.app without its
Contents/MacOS/Electron binary, then fail renaming it to Hermes:
ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename .../MacOS/Electron -> .../MacOS/Hermes
This breaks `npm run pack` and the installer desktop stage before a
launchable Hermes.app exists.
- Point build.electronDist at the already-installed Electron dist so
electron-builder reuses it instead of re-unpacking from cache.
- Add a darwin-only prebuilder patch that restores the missing main
binary from the runtime dist before the rename. Idempotent (marker
guard), soft-fails on shape mismatch, survives node_modules reinstall.

* fix(teams): package Microsoft Teams SDK as an installable extra
The Teams adapter imports the microsoft-teams-apps SDK, but it was never
declared as a dependency, so source/local installs hit ImportError and the
adapter silently reported the SDK as unavailable. Add a 'teams' extra
(microsoft-teams-apps==2.0.13.4 + aiohttp) and document 'uv sync --extra teams'.
Per the 2026-05-12 [all] policy, opt-in messaging-platform SDKs are NOT added
to [all] (they would break every fresh install on a quarantined release); the
teams extra is installed on demand like the other platform backends.

* chore: map rio-jeong contributor email for attribution (#43945)
* feat(teams): lazy-install the Teams SDK on demand (parity with other channels)
The teams extra alone left Teams as the only messaging platform that wouldn't
auto-install its SDK — every other channel (telegram, discord, slack, matrix,
dingtalk, feishu) lazy-installs via tools.lazy_deps on first connect. Bring
Teams to parity:
- Add 'platform.teams' to LAZY_DEPS (microsoft-teams-apps + aiohttp).
- Replace the passive 'check_teams_requirements = check_requirements' alias with
a real lazy-installer that calls ensure_and_bind('platform.teams', ...),
rebinding all Teams SDK globals on success (mirrors check_slack_requirements).
- Call check_teams_requirements() at the top of TeamsAdapter.connect() so
enabling Teams installs the SDK on demand.
- Keep the passive check_requirements() as the registry check_fn so 'gateway
status' probes never trigger a pip install.
The 'teams' extra remains for packagers / explicit 'uv sync --extra teams'.
Tests: rework the alias test into shortcircuit + lazy-install assertions, and
update test_connect_fails_without_sdk to simulate an uninstallable SDK.

The store pin changed package-lock.json, so the workspace-wide
npmDepsHash in nix/lib.nix is stale and the Nix flake check fails on
the hash mismatch. Use the hash reported by the real fetchNpmDeps
build (the flake check's `got:`), which is authoritative — it differs
from prefetch-npm-deps' lockfile-contents hash, exactly the divergence
nix/lib.nix already documents.
The desktop build break shipped because nothing in CI runs the
apps/desktop production build. typecheck only runs `tsc`, which does
not exercise Vite/Rolldown module resolution, so an unresolvable
package export (the @assistant-ui/tap "./react-shim" split) sailed
through green checks and only failed when users built from source on
install/update.
Add a desktop-build job that runs `npm run build` (tsc -b + vite build
+ assert-dist-built) for apps/desktop. This closes the gap so the same
class of break fails in CI instead of on every user's machine.
Lockfile invariant that would have caught the desktop build break: the
single hoisted @assistant-ui/tap must satisfy every @assistant-ui/*
package's declared tap requirement (deps or non-optional peer). It is a
contract, not a snapshot -- no hardcoded versions -- so it stays green
across routine bumps but fails the moment the cluster splits its tap
requirement again.
The desktop app is built from source on every install/update
(install.ps1 -> npm ci/install -> tsc -b && vite build). The
@assistant-ui packages share an internal reactivity lib,
@assistant-ui/tap, and only interoperate when they all resolve the
SAME tap version.
@assistant-ui/react@0.12.28 and @assistant-ui/core pin tap@^0.5.x
(which exports only "." and "./react"), but the caret range
react -> store@^0.2.9 floated store up to 0.2.18, which bumped its
tap peer to ^0.9.0 and began importing "@assistant-ui/tap/react-shim"
-- an entry point that only exists in the tap 0.9.x line. With the
hoisted tap stuck on 0.5.x, vite build crashed:
"./react-shim" is not exported ... from package @assistant-ui/tap
i.e. the opaque "apps/desktop build failed (exit 1)" everyone hit when
updating today.
Pin @assistant-ui/store via root overrides to 0.2.13 -- the last
release that targets tap@^0.5.x -- so react/core/store all agree on the
hoisted tap@0.5.14 again. Verified: tsc -b and vite build both pass.
