Consolidate 4 per-transport lazy singleton helpers (_get_anthropic_transport,
_get_codex_transport, _get_chat_completions_transport, _get_bedrock_transport)
into one generic _get_transport(api_mode) with a shared dict cache.
Collapse the 65-line main normalize block (3 api_mode branches, each with
its own SimpleNamespace shim) into 7 lines: one _get_transport() call +
one _nr_to_assistant_message() shared shim. The shim extracts provider_data
fields (codex_reasoning_items, reasoning_details, call_id, response_item_id)
into the SimpleNamespace shape downstream code expects.
Wire chat_completions and bedrock_converse normalize through their transports
for the first time — these were previously falling into the raw
response.choices[0].message else branch.
Remove 8 dead codex adapter imports that have zero callers after PRs 1-6.
Transport lifecycle improvements:
- Eagerly warm transport cache at __init__ (surfaces import errors early)
- Invalidate transport cache on api_mode change (switch_model, fallback
activation, fallback restore, transport recovery) — prevents stale
transport after mid-session provider switch
run_agent.py: -32 net lines (11,988 -> 11,956).
PR 7 of the provider transport refactor.
Follow-up to the /resume and /branch cleanup in the previous commit:
/new is a conversation-boundary operation too, so session-scoped
dangerous-command approvals and /yolo state must not survive it.
Adds a scoped unit test for _clear_session_boundary_security_state that
also covers the /new path (which calls the same helper).
The Docker terminal backend runs containers with `--cap-drop ALL`
and re-adds only DAC_OVERRIDE, CHOWN, FOWNER. Since commit fee0e0d3
("run as non-root user, use virtualenv") the image entrypoint drops
from root to the `hermes` user via `gosu`, which requires CAP_SETUID
and CAP_SETGID. Without them every sandbox container exits
immediately with:
Dropping root privileges
error: failed switching to 'hermes': operation not permitted
Breaking every terminal/file tool invocation in `terminal.backend: docker`
mode.
Fix: add SETUID and SETGID to the cap-add list. The `no-new-privileges`
security-opt is kept, so gosu still cannot escalate back to root after
the one-way drop — the hardening posture is preserved.
Reproduction
------------
With any image whose ENTRYPOINT calls `gosu <user>`, the container
exits immediately under the pre-fix cap set. Post-fix, the drop
succeeds and the container proceeds normally.
docker run --rm \
--cap-drop ALL \
--cap-add DAC_OVERRIDE --cap-add CHOWN --cap-add FOWNER \
--security-opt no-new-privileges \
--entrypoint /usr/local/bin/gosu \
hermes-claude:latest hermes id
# -> error: failed switching to 'hermes': operation not permitted
# Same command with SETUID+SETGID added:
# -> uid=10000(hermes) gid=10000(hermes) groups=10000(hermes)
Tests
-----
Added `test_security_args_include_setuid_setgid_for_gosu_drop` that
asserts both caps are present and the overall hardening posture
(cap-drop ALL + no-new-privileges) is preserved.

Port from openclaw/openclaw#67318. Some open models (notably Gemma
variants served via OpenRouter) emit tool calls as XML blocks inside
assistant content instead of via the structured tool_calls field:
<function name="read_file"><parameter name="path">/tmp/x</parameter></function>
<tool_call>{"name":"x"}</tool_call>
<function_calls>[{...}]</function_calls>
Left unstripped, this raw XML leaked to gateway users (Discord, Telegram,
Matrix, Feishu, Signal, WhatsApp, etc.) and the CLI, since hermes-agent's
existing reasoning-tag stripper handled only <think>/<thinking>/<thought>
variants.
Extend _strip_think_blocks (run_agent.py) and _strip_reasoning_tags
(cli.py) to cover:
* <tool_call>, <tool_calls>, <tool_result>
* <function_call>, <function_calls>
* <function name="..."> ... </function> (Gemma-style)
The <function> variant is boundary-gated (only strips when the tag sits
at start-of-line or after sentence punctuation AND carries a name="..."
attribute) so prose mentions like 'Use <function> declarations in JS'
are preserved. Dangling <function name="..."> with no close is
intentionally left visible — matches OpenClaw's asymmetry so a truncated
streaming tail still reaches the user.
Tests: 9 new cases in TestStripThinkBlocks (run_agent) + 9 in new file
tests/run_agent/test_strip_reasoning_tags_cli.py. Covers Qwen-style
<tool_call>, Gemma-style <function name="...">, multi-line payloads,
prose preservation, stray close tags, dangling open tags, and mixed
reasoning+tool_call content.
Note: this port covers the post-streaming final-text path, which is what
gateway adapters and CLI display consume. Extending the per-delta stream
filter in gateway/stream_consumer.py to hide these tags live as they
stream is a separate follow-up; for now users may see raw XML briefly
during a stream before the final cleaned text replaces it.

Feishu's open_id is app-scoped (same user gets different open_ids per
bot app), not a canonical identity. Functionally correct for single-bot
mode but semantically misleading.
- Add comprehensive Feishu identity model documentation to module docstring
- Prefer user_id (tenant-scoped) over open_id (app-scoped) in
_resolve_sender_profile when both are available
- Document bot_open_id usage for @mention matching
- Update user_id_alt comment in SessionSource to be platform-generic
Ref: closes analysis from PR #8388 (closed as over-scoped)
Port from openclaw/openclaw#66664. The build_anthropic_kwargs call site
used 'max_tokens or _get_anthropic_max_output(model)', which correctly
falls back when max_tokens is 0 or None (falsy) but lets negative ints
(-1, -500), fractional floats (0.5, 8192.7), NaN, and infinity leak
through to the Anthropic API. Anthropic rejects these with HTTP 400
('max_tokens: must be greater than or equal to 1'), turning a local
config error into a surprise mid-conversation failure.
Add two resolver helpers matching OpenClaw's:
_resolve_positive_anthropic_max_tokens — returns int(value) only if
value is a finite positive number; excludes bools, strings, NaN,
infinity, sub-one positives (floor to 0).
_resolve_anthropic_messages_max_tokens — prefers a positive requested
value, else falls back to the model's output ceiling; raises
ValueError only if no positive budget can be resolved.
The context-window clamp at the call site (max_tokens > context_length)
is preserved unchanged — it handles oversized values; the new resolver
handles non-positive values. These concerns are now cleanly separated.
Tests: 17 new cases covering positive/zero/negative ints, fractional
floats (both >1 and <1), NaN, infinity, booleans, strings, None, and
integration via build_anthropic_kwargs.
Refs: openclaw/openclaw#66664
Follow-up on helix4u's PR #14211:
- Flip default to true: narrowing toolsets=['web','browser'] expresses
'I want these extras', not 'silently strip MCP'. Parent MCP tools
(registered at runtime) should survive narrowing by default.
- Drop _config_version bump (22->23); additive nested key under
delegation.* is handled by _deep_merge, no migration needed.
- Update tests to reflect new default behavior.
Mid-stream SSL alerts (bad_record_mac, tls_alert_internal_error, handshake
failures) previously fell through the classifier pipeline to the 'unknown'
bucket because:
- ssl.SSLError type names weren't in _TRANSPORT_ERROR_TYPES (the
isinstance(OSError) catch picks up some but not all SDK-wrapped forms)
- the message-pattern list had no SSL alert substrings
The 'unknown' bucket is still retryable, but: (a) logs tell the user
'unknown' instead of identifying the cause, (b) it bypasses the
transport-specific backoff/fallback logic, and (c) if the SSL error
happens on a large session with a generic 'connection closed' wrapper,
the existing disconnect-on-large-session heuristic would incorrectly
trigger context compression — expensive, and never fixes a transport
hiccup.
Changes:
- Add ssl.SSLError and its subclass type names to _TRANSPORT_ERROR_TYPES
- New _SSL_TRANSIENT_PATTERNS list (separate from _SERVER_DISCONNECT_PATTERNS
so SSL alerts route to timeout, not context_overflow+compress)
- New step 5 in the classifier pipeline: SSL pattern check runs BEFORE
the disconnect check to pre-empt the large-session-compress path
Patterns cover both space-separated ('ssl alert', 'bad record mac')
and underscore-separated ('ERR_SSL_SSL/TLS_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC')
forms. This is load-bearing because OpenSSL 3.x changed the error-code
separator from underscore to slash (e.g. SSLV3_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC →
SSL/TLS_ALERT_BAD_RECORD_MAC) and will likely churn again — matching on
stable alert reason substrings survives future format changes.
Tests (8 new):
- BAD_RECORD_MAC in Python ssl.c format
- OpenSSL 3.x underscore format
- TLSV1_ALERT_INTERNAL_ERROR
- ssl handshake failure
- [SSL: ...] prefix fallback
- Real ssl.SSLError instance
- REGRESSION GUARD: SSL on large session does NOT compress
- REGRESSION GUARD: plain disconnect on large session STILL compresses
Port from cline/cline#10266.
When OpenAI-compatible proxies (OpenRouter, Vercel AI Gateway, Cline)
route Claude models, they sometimes surface the Anthropic-native cache
counters (`cache_read_input_tokens`, `cache_creation_input_tokens`) at
the top level of the `usage` object instead of nesting them inside
`prompt_tokens_details`. Our chat-completions branch of
`normalize_usage()` only read the nested `prompt_tokens_details` fields,
so those responses:
- reported `cache_write_tokens = 0` even when the model actually did a
prompt-cache write,
- reported only some of the cache-read tokens when the proxy exposed them
top-level only,
- overstated `input_tokens` by the missed cache-write amount, which in
turn made cost estimation and the status-bar cache-hit percentage wrong
for Claude traffic going through these gateways.
Now the chat-completions branch tries the OpenAI-standard
`prompt_tokens_details` first and falls back to the top-level
Anthropic-shape fields only if the nested values are absent/zero. The
Anthropic and Codex Responses branches are unchanged.
Regression guards added for three shapes: top-level write + nested read,
top-level-only, and both-present (nested wins).
New and newer models from models.dev now surface automatically in
/model (both hermes model CLI and the gateway Telegram/Discord picker)
for a curated set of secondary providers — no Hermes release required
when the registry publishes a new model.
Primary user-visible fix: on OpenCode Go, typing '/model mimo-v2.5-pro'
no longer silently fuzzy-corrects to 'mimo-v2-pro'. The exact match
against the merged models.dev catalog wins.
Scope (opt-in frozenset _MODELS_DEV_PREFERRED in hermes_cli/models.py):
opencode-go, opencode-zen, deepseek, kilocode, fireworks, mistral,
togetherai, cohere, perplexity, groq, nvidia, huggingface, zai,
gemini, google.
Explicitly NOT merged:
- openrouter and nous (never): curated list is already a hand-picked
subset / Portal is source of truth.
- xai, xiaomi, minimax, minimax-cn, kimi-coding, kimi-coding-cn,
alibaba, qwen-oauth (per-project decision to keep curated-only).
- providers with dedicated live-endpoint paths (copilot, anthropic,
ai-gateway, ollama-cloud, custom, stepfun, openai-codex) — those
paths already handle freshness themselves.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: add _MODELS_DEV_PREFERRED + _merge_with_models_dev
helper. provider_model_ids() branches on the set at its curated-fallback
return. Merge is models.dev-first, curated-only extras appended,
case-insensitive dedup, graceful fallback when models.dev is offline.
- hermes_cli/model_switch.py: list_authenticated_providers() calls the
same merge in both its code paths (PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV loop +
HERMES_OVERLAYS loop). Picker AND validation-fallback both see
fresh entries.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_models_dev_preferred_merge.py (new): 13 tests —
merge-helper unit tests (empty/raise/order/dedup), opencode-go/zen
behavior, openrouter+nous explicitly guarded from merge.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_opencode_go_in_model_list.py: converted from
snapshot-style assertion to a behavior-based floor check, so it
doesn't break when models.dev publishes additional opencode-go
entries.
Addresses a report from @pfanis via Telegram: newer Xiaomi variants
on OpenCode Go weren't appearing in the /model picker, and /model
was silently routing requests for new variants to older ones.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #14179.
`_cleanup_invalid_pid_path` previously called `remove_pid_file()` for the
default PID path, but that helper defensively refuses to delete a PID file
whose pid field differs from `os.getpid()` (to protect --replace handoffs).
Every realistic stale-PID scenario is exactly that case: a crashed/Ctrl+C'd
gateway left behind a PID file owned by a now-dead foreign PID.
Once `get_running_pid()` has confirmed the runtime lock is inactive, the
on-disk metadata is known to belong to a dead process, so we can force-unlink
both the PID file and the sibling `gateway.lock` directly instead of going
through the defensive helper.
Also adds a regression test with a dead foreign PID that would have failed
against the previous cleanup logic.
Plugin slash commands now surface as first-class commands in every gateway
enumerator — Discord native slash picker, Telegram BotCommand menu, Slack
/hermes subcommand map — without a separate per-platform plugin API.
The existing 'command:<name>' gateway hook gains a decision protocol via
HookRegistry.emit_collect(): handlers that return a dict with
{'decision': 'deny'|'handled'|'rewrite'|'allow'} can intercept slash
command dispatch before core handling runs, unifying what would otherwise
have been a parallel 'pre_gateway_command' hook surface.
Changes:
- gateway/hooks.py: add HookRegistry.emit_collect() that fires the same
handler set as emit() but collects non-None return values. Backward
compatible — fire-and-forget telemetry hooks still work via emit().
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add optional 'args_hint' param to
register_command() so plugins can opt into argument-aware native UI
registration (Discord arg picker, future platforms).
- hermes_cli/commands.py: add _iter_plugin_command_entries() helper and
merge plugin commands into telegram_bot_commands() and
slack_subcommand_map(). New is_gateway_known_command() recognizes both
built-in and plugin commands so the gateway hook fires for either.
- gateway/platforms/discord.py: extract _build_auto_slash_command helper
from the COMMAND_REGISTRY auto-register loop and reuse it for
plugin-registered commands. Built-in name conflicts are skipped.
- gateway/run.py: before normal slash dispatch, call emit_collect on
command:<canonical> and honor deny/handled/rewrite/allow decisions.
Hook now fires for plugin commands too.
- scripts/release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for @Magaav.
- Tests: emit_collect semantics, plugin command surfacing per platform,
decision protocol (deny/handled/rewrite/allow + non-dict tolerance),
Discord plugin auto-registration + conflict skipping, is_gateway_known_command.
Salvaged from #14131 (@Magaav). Original PR added a parallel
'pre_gateway_command' hook and a platform-keyed plugin command
registry; this re-implementation reuses the existing 'command:<name>'
hook and treats plugin commands as platform-agnostic so the same
capability reaches Telegram and Slack without new API surface.

`is_local_endpoint()` leaned on `ipaddress.is_private`, which classifies
RFC-1918 ranges and link-local as private but deliberately excludes the
RFC 6598 CGNAT block (100.64.0.0/10) — the range Tailscale uses for its
mesh IPs. As a result, Ollama reached over Tailscale (e.g.
`http://100.77.243.5:11434`) was treated as remote and missed the
automatic stream-read / stale-stream timeout bumps, so cold model load
plus long prefill would trip the 300 s watchdog before the first token.
Add a module-level `_TAILSCALE_CGNAT = ipaddress.IPv4Network("100.64.0.0/10")`
(built once) and extend `is_local_endpoint()` to match the block both
via the parsed-`IPv4Address` path and the existing bare-string fallback
(for symmetry with the 10/172/192 checks). Also hoist the previously
function-local `import ipaddress` to module scope now that it's used by
the constant.
Extend `TestIsLocalEndpoint` with a CGNAT positive set (lower bound,
representative host, MagicDNS anchor, upper bound) and a near-miss
negative set (just below 100.64.0.0, just above 100.127.255.255, well
outside the block, and first-octet-wrong).
Resolve Feishu @_user_N / @_all placeholders into display names plus a
structured [Mentioned: Name (open_id=...), ...] hint so agents can both
reason about who was mentioned and call Feishu OpenAPI tools with stable
open_ids. Strip bot self-mentions only at message edges (leading
unconditionally, trailing only before whitespace/terminal punctuation)
so commands parse cleanly while mid-text references are preserved.
Covers both plain-text and rich-post payloads.
Also fixes a pre-existing hydration bug: Client.request no longer accepts
the 'method' kwarg on lark-oapi 1.5.3, so bot identity silently failed
to hydrate and self-filtering never worked. Migrate to the
BaseRequest.builder() pattern and accept the 'app_name' field the API
actually returns. Tighten identity matching precedence so open_id is
authoritative when present on both sides.
Adds security.allow_private_urls / HERMES_ALLOW_PRIVATE_URLS toggle so
users on OpenWrt routers, TUN-mode proxies (Clash/Mihomo/Sing-box),
corporate split-tunnel VPNs, and Tailscale networks — where DNS resolves
public domains to 198.18.0.0/15 or 100.64.0.0/10 — can use web_extract,
browser, vision URL fetching, and gateway media downloads.
Single toggle in tools/url_safety.py; all 23 is_safe_url() call sites
inherit automatically. Cached for process lifetime.
Cloud metadata endpoints stay ALWAYS blocked regardless of the toggle:
169.254.169.254 (AWS/GCP/Azure/DO/Oracle), 169.254.170.2 (AWS ECS task
IAM creds), 169.254.169.253 (Azure IMDS wire server), 100.100.100.200
(Alibaba), fd00:ec2::254 (AWS IPv6), the entire 169.254.0.0/16
link-local range, and the metadata.google.internal / metadata.goog
hostnames (checked pre-DNS so they can't be bypassed on networks where
those names resolve to local IPs).
Supersedes #3779 (narrower HERMES_ALLOW_RFC2544 for the same class of
users).

Anthropic's API can legitimately return content=[] with stop_reason="end_turn"
when the model has nothing more to add after a turn that already delivered the
user-facing text alongside a trivial tool call (e.g. memory write). The transport
validator was treating that as an invalid response, triggering 3 retries that
each returned the same valid-but-empty response, then failing the run with
"Invalid API response after 3 retries."
The downstream normalizer already handles empty content correctly (empty loop
over response.content, content=None, finish_reason="stop"), so the only fix
needed is at the validator boundary.
Tests:
- Empty content + stop_reason="end_turn" → valid (the fix)
- Empty content + stop_reason="tool_use" → still invalid (regression guard)
- Empty content without stop_reason → still invalid (existing behavior preserved)
When the streaming connection dropped AFTER user-visible text was
delivered but a tool call was in flight, we stubbed the turn with a
'⚠ Stream stalled mid tool-call; Ask me to retry' warning — costing
an iteration and breaking the flow. Users report this happening
increasingly often on long SSE streams through flaky provider routes.
Fix: in the existing inner stream-retry loop, relax the
deltas_were_sent short-circuit. If a tool call was in flight
(partial_tool_names populated) AND the error is a transient connection
error (timeout, RemoteProtocolError, SSE 'connection lost', etc.),
silently retry instead of bailing out. Fire a brief 'Connection
dropped mid tool-call; reconnecting…' marker so the user understands
the preamble is about to be re-streamed.
Researched how Claude Code (tombstone + non-streaming fallback),
OpenCode (blind Effect.retry wrapping whole stream), and Clawdbot
(4-way gate: stopReason==error + output==0 + !hadPotentialSideEffects)
handle this. Chose the narrow Clawdbot-style gate: retry only when
(a) a tool call was actually in flight (otherwise the existing
stub-with-recovered-text is correct for pure-text stalls) and
(b) the error is transient. Side-effect safety is automatic — no
tool has been dispatched within this single API call yet.
UX trade-off: user sees preamble text twice on retry (OpenCode-style).
Strictly better than a lost action with a 'retry manually' message.
If retries exhaust, falls through to the existing stub-with-warning
path so the user isn't left with zero signal.
Tests: 3 new tests in TestSilentRetryMidToolCall covering
(1) silent retry recovers tool call; (2) exhausted retries fall back
to stub; (3) text-only stalls don't trigger retry. 30/30 pass.
Copilot on #14138 flagged that the share report says '(file not found)'
when the log exists but is empty (either because the primary is empty
and no .1 rotation exists, or in the rare race where the file is
truncated between _resolve_log_path() and stat()).
- Split _primary_log_path() out of _resolve_log_path so both can share
the LOG_FILES/home math without duplication.
- _capture_log_snapshot now reports '(file empty)' when the primary
path exists on disk with zero bytes, and keeps '(file not found)'
for the truly-missing case.
Tests: rename test_returns_none_for_empty → test_empty_primary_reports_file_empty
with the new assertion, plus a race-path test that monkeypatches
_resolve_log_path to exercise the size==0 branch directly.
- normalizeStatusBar: trim/lowercase + 'on' → 'top' alias so user-edited
YAML variants (Top, " bottom ", on) coerce correctly
- shift-tab yolo: no-op with sys note when no live session; success-gated
echo and catch fallback so RPC failures don't report as 'yolo off'
- tui_gateway config.set/get statusbar: isinstance(display, dict) guards
mirroring the compact branch so a malformed display scalar in config.yaml
can't raise
Tests: +1 vitest for trim/case/on, +2 pytest for non-dict display survival.
Drop rebased test assumptions about theme-mode helpers removed on main and keep the status bar skin integration aligned with the current skin engine model.
Route prompt_toolkit status bar colors through the skin engine so /skin updates the status bar alongside the rest of the interactive TUI.
Add regression coverage for the new status bar style override keys and CLI style composition.
These thin wrappers around _capture_log_snapshot had zero production
callers after the snapshot refactor — run_debug_share uses snapshots
directly and collect_debug_report captures internally. The wrappers
also caused a performance regression: _read_log_tail read up to 512KB
and built full_text just to return tail_text.
Remove both wrappers and migrate TestReadFullLog → TestCaptureLogSnapshot
to test _capture_log_snapshot directly. Same coverage, tests the real
API instead of dead indirection.
Add missing AUTHOR_MAP entry for taosiyuan163 whose truncation boundary
fix was adapted into _capture_log_snapshot().
Add regression tests proving: line-boundary truncation keeps the full
first line, mid-line truncation correctly drops the partial fragment.
Adds _reactions_enabled() gating to match Discord (DISCORD_REACTIONS) and
Telegram (TELEGRAM_REACTIONS) pattern. Defaults to true to preserve existing
behavior. Gates at three levels:
- _handle_slack_message: skips _reacting_message_ids registration
- on_processing_start: early return
- on_processing_complete: early return
Also adds config.yaml bridge (slack.reactions) and two new tests.
Slack reactions were placed around handle_message(), which returns
immediately after spawning a background task. This caused the 👀
→ ✅ swap to happen before any real work began.
Fix: implement on_processing_start / on_processing_complete callbacks
(matching Discord/Telegram) so reactions bracket actual _message_handler
work driven by the base class.
Also fixes missing stop_typing() for Slack's assistant thread status
indicator, which left 'is thinking...' stuck in the UI after processing
completed.
- Add _reacting_message_ids set for DM/@mention-only gating
- Add _active_status_threads dict for stop_typing lookup
- Update test_reactions_in_message_flow for new callback pattern
- Add test_reactions_failure_outcome and test_reactions_skipped_for_non_dm_non_mention
The 404 branch in _classify_by_status had dead code: the generic
fallback below the _MODEL_NOT_FOUND_PATTERNS check returned the
exact same classification (model_not_found + should_fallback=True),
so every 404 — regardless of message — was treated as a missing model.
This bites local-endpoint users (llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM) whose 404s
usually mean a wrong endpoint path, proxy routing glitch, or transient
backend issue — not a missing model. Claiming 'model not found' misleads
the next turn and silently falls back to another provider when the real
problem was a URL typo the user should see.
Fix: only classify 404 as model_not_found when the message actually
matches _MODEL_NOT_FOUND_PATTERNS ("invalid model", "model not found",
etc.). Otherwise fall through as unknown (retryable) so the real error
surfaces in the retry loop.
Test updated to match the new behavior. 103 error_classifier tests pass.
* fix(plugins): auto-coerce user-installed memory plugins to kind=exclusive
User-installed memory provider plugins at $HERMES_HOME/plugins/<name>/
were being dispatched to the general PluginManager, which has no
register_memory_provider method on PluginContext. Every startup logged:
Failed to load plugin 'mempalace': 'PluginContext' object has no
attribute 'register_memory_provider'
Bundled memory providers were already skipped via skip_names={memory,
context_engine} in discover_and_load, but user-installed ones weren't.
Fix: _parse_manifest now scans the plugin's __init__.py source for
'register_memory_provider' or 'MemoryProvider' (same heuristic as
plugins/memory/__init__.py:_is_memory_provider_dir) and auto-coerces
kind to 'exclusive' when the manifest didn't declare one explicitly.
This routes the plugin to plugins/memory discovery instead of the
general loader.
The escape hatch: if a manifest explicitly declares kind: standalone,
the heuristic doesn't override it.
Reported by Uncle HODL on Discord.
* fix(nous): actionable CLI message when Nous 401 refresh fails
Mirrors the Anthropic 401 diagnostic pattern. When Nous returns 401
and the credential refresh (_try_refresh_nous_client_credentials)
also fails, the user used to see only the raw APIError. Now prints:
🔐 Nous 401 — Portal authentication failed.
Response: <truncated body>
Most likely: Portal OAuth expired, account out of credits, or
agent key revoked.
Troubleshooting:
• Re-authenticate: hermes login --provider nous
• Check credits / billing: https://portal.nousresearch.com
• Verify stored credentials: $HERMES_HOME/auth.json
• Switch providers temporarily: /model <model> --provider openrouter
Addresses the common 'my hermes model hangs' pattern where the user's
Portal OAuth expired and the CLI gave no hint about the next step.
Adds schema v7 'api_call_count' column. run_agent.py increments it by 1
per LLM API call, web_server analytics SQL aggregates it, frontend uses
the real counter instead of summing sessions.
The 'API Calls' card on the analytics dashboard previously displayed
COUNT(*) from the sessions table — the number of conversations, not
LLM requests. Each session makes 10-90 API calls through the tool loop,
so the reported number was ~30x lower than real.
Salvaged from PR #10140 (@kshitijk4poor). The cache-token accuracy
portions of the original PR were deferred — per-provider analytics is
the better path there, since cache_write_tokens and actual_cost_usd
are only reliably available from a subset of providers (Anthropic
native, Codex Responses, OpenRouter with usage.include).
Tests:
- schema_version v7 assertion
- migration v2 -> v7 adds api_call_count column with default 0
- update_token_counts increments api_call_count by provided delta
- absolute=True sets api_call_count directly
- /api/analytics/usage exposes total_api_calls in totals
- Add configurable retain_tags / retain_source / retain_user_prefix /
retain_assistant_prefix knobs for native Hindsight.
- Thread gateway session identity (user_name, chat_id, chat_name,
chat_type, thread_id) through AIAgent and MemoryManager into
MemoryProvider.initialize kwargs so providers can scope and tag
retained memories.
- Hindsight attaches the new identity fields as retain metadata,
merges per-call tool tags with configured default tags, and uses
the configurable transcript labels for auto-retained turns.

brought it to 43MB. The prune command and VACUUM are not wired to run
automatically anywhere — sessions grew unbounded until users noticed.
Changes:
- hermes_state.py: new state_meta key/value table, vacuum() method, and
maybe_auto_prune_and_vacuum() — idempotent via last-run timestamp in
state_meta so it only actually executes once per min_interval_hours
across all Hermes processes for a given HERMES_HOME. Never raises.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new 'sessions:' block in DEFAULT_CONFIG
(auto_prune=True, retention_days=90, vacuum_after_prune=True,
min_interval_hours=24). Added to _KNOWN_ROOT_KEYS.
- cli.py: call maintenance once at HermesCLI init (shared helper
_run_state_db_auto_maintenance reads config and delegates to DB).
- gateway/run.py: call maintenance once at GatewayRunner init.
- Docs: user-guide/sessions.md rewrites 'Automatic Cleanup' section.
Why VACUUM matters: SQLite does NOT shrink the file on DELETE — freed
pages get reused on next INSERT. Without VACUUM, a delete-heavy DB stays
bloated forever. VACUUM only runs when the prune actually removed rows,
so tight DBs don't pay the I/O cost.
Tests: 10 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state.py covering state_meta,
vacuum, idempotency, interval skipping, VACUUM-only-when-needed,
corrupt-marker recovery. All 246 existing state/config/gateway tests
still pass.
Verified E2E with real imports + isolated HERMES_HOME: DEFAULT_CONFIG
exposes the new block, load_config() returns it for fresh installs,
first call prunes+vacuums, second call within min_interval_hours skips,
and the state_meta marker persists across connection close/reopen.
* sessions.auto_prune defaults to false (opt-in)
Session history powers session_search recall across past conversations,
so silently pruning on startup could surprise users. Ship the machinery
disabled and let users opt in when they notice state.db is hurting
performance.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG.sessions.auto_prune: True → False
- Call-site fallbacks in cli.py and gateway/run.py match the new default
(so unmigrated configs still see off)
- Docs: flip 'Enable in config.yaml' framing + tip explains the tradeoff
Adds a first-class 'stepfun' API-key provider surfaced as Step Plan:
- Support Step Plan setup for both International and China regions
- Discover Step Plan models live from /step_plan/v1/models, with a
small coding-focused fallback catalog when discovery is unavailable
- Thread StepFun through provider metadata, setup persistence, status
and doctor output, auxiliary routing, and model normalization
- Add tests for provider resolution, model validation, metadata
mapping, and StepFun region/model persistence

* feat(plugins): pluggable image_gen backends + OpenAI provider
Adds a ImageGenProvider ABC so image generation backends register as
bundled plugins under `plugins/image_gen/<name>/`. The plugin scanner
gains three primitives to make this work generically:
- `kind:` manifest field (`standalone` | `backend` | `exclusive`).
Bundled `kind: backend` plugins auto-load — no `plugins.enabled`
incantation. User-installed backends stay opt-in.
- Path-derived keys: `plugins/image_gen/openai/` gets key
`image_gen/openai`, so a future `tts/openai` cannot collide.
- Depth-2 recursion into category namespaces (parent dirs without a
`plugin.yaml` of their own).
Includes `OpenAIImageGenProvider` as the first consumer (gpt-image-1.5
default, plus gpt-image-1, gpt-image-1-mini, DALL-E 3/2). Base64
responses save to `$HERMES_HOME/cache/images/`; URL responses pass
through.
FAL stays in-tree for this PR — a follow-up ports it into
`plugins/image_gen/fal/` so the in-tree `image_generation_tool.py`
slims down. The dispatch shim in `_handle_image_generate` only fires
when `image_gen.provider` is explicitly set to a non-FAL value, so
existing FAL setups are untouched.
- 41 unit tests (scanner recursion, kind parsing, gate logic,
registry, OpenAI payload shapes)
- E2E smoke verified: bundled plugin autoloads, registers, and
`_handle_image_generate` routes to OpenAI when configured
* fix(image_gen/openai): don't send response_format to gpt-image-*
The live API rejects it: 'Unknown parameter: response_format'
(verified 2026-04-21 with gpt-image-1.5). gpt-image-* models return
b64_json unconditionally, so the parameter was both unnecessary and
actively broken.
* feat(image_gen/openai): gpt-image-2 only, drop legacy catalog
gpt-image-2 is the latest/best OpenAI image model (released 2026-04-21)
and there's no reason to expose the older gpt-image-1.5 / gpt-image-1 /
dall-e-3 / dall-e-2 alongside it — slower, lower quality, or awkward
(dall-e-2 squares only). Trim the catalog down to a single model.
Live-verified end-to-end: landscape 1536x1024 render of a Moog-style
synth matches prompt exactly, 2.4MB PNG saved to cache.
* feat(image_gen/openai): expose gpt-image-2 as three quality tiers
Users pick speed/fidelity via the normal model picker instead of a
hidden quality knob. All three tier IDs resolve to the single underlying
gpt-image-2 API model with a different quality parameter:
gpt-image-2-low ~15s fast iteration
gpt-image-2-medium ~40s default
gpt-image-2-high ~2min highest fidelity
Live-measured on OpenAI's API today: 15.4s / 40.8s / 116.9s for the
same 1024x1024 prompt.
Config:
image_gen.openai.model: gpt-image-2-high
# or
image_gen.model: gpt-image-2-low
# or env var for scripts/tests
OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL=gpt-image-2-medium
Live-verified end-to-end with the low tier: 18.8s landscape render of a
golden retriever in wildflowers, vision-confirmed exact match.
* feat(tools_config): plugin image_gen providers inject themselves into picker
'hermes tools' → Image Generation now shows plugin-registered backends
alongside Nous Subscription and FAL.ai without tools_config.py needing
to know about them. OpenAI appears as a third option today; future
backends appear automatically as they're added.
Mechanism:
- ImageGenProvider gains an optional get_setup_schema() hook
(name, badge, tag, env_vars). Default derived from display_name.
- tools_config._plugin_image_gen_providers() pulls the schemas from
every registered non-FAL plugin provider.
- _visible_providers() appends those rows when rendering the Image
Generation category.
- _configure_provider() handles the new image_gen_plugin_name marker:
writes image_gen.provider and routes to the plugin's list_models()
catalog for the model picker.
- _toolset_needs_configuration_prompt('image_gen') stops demanding a
FAL key when any plugin provider reports is_available().
FAL is skipped in the plugin path because it already has hardcoded
TOOL_CATEGORIES rows — when it gets ported to a plugin in a follow-up
PR the hardcoded rows go away and it surfaces through the same path
as OpenAI.
Verified live: picker shows Nous Subscription / FAL.ai / OpenAI.
Picking OpenAI prompts for OPENAI_API_KEY, then shows the
gpt-image-2-low/medium/high model picker sourced from the plugin.
397 tests pass across plugins/, tools_config, registry, and picker.
* fix(image_gen): close final gaps for plugin-backend parity with FAL
Two small places that still hardcoded FAL:
- hermes_cli/setup.py status line: an OpenAI-only setup showed
'Image Generation: missing FAL_KEY'. Now probes plugin providers
and reports '(OpenAI)' when one is_available() — or falls back to
'missing FAL_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY' if nothing is configured.
- image_generate tool schema description: said 'using FAL.ai, default
FLUX 2 Klein 9B'. Rewrote provider-neutral — 'backend and model are
user-configured' — and notes the 'image' field can be a URL or an
absolute path, which the gateway delivers either way via
extract_local_files().
Kimi's /coding endpoint speaks the Anthropic Messages protocol but has
its own thinking semantics: when thinking.enabled is sent, Kimi validates
the history and requires every prior assistant tool-call message to carry
OpenAI-style reasoning_content. The Anthropic path never populates that
field, and convert_messages_to_anthropic strips Anthropic thinking blocks
on third-party endpoints — so after one tool-calling turn the next request
fails with:
HTTP 400: thinking is enabled but reasoning_content is missing in
assistant tool call message at index N
Kimi on chat_completions handles thinking via extra_body in
ChatCompletionsTransport (#13503). On the Anthropic route, drop the
parameter entirely and let Kimi drive reasoning server-side.
build_anthropic_kwargs now gates the reasoning_config -> thinking block
on not _is_kimi_coding_endpoint(base_url).
Tests: 8 new parametric tests cover /coding, /coding/v1, /coding/anthropic,
/coding/ (trailing slash), explicit disabled, other third-party endpoints
still getting thinking (MiniMax), native Anthropic unaffected, and the
non-/coding Kimi root route.
