The dashboard Keys page and `hermes setup` render API-key rows from
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, but only Honcho had an entry — so Hindsight,
Supermemory, Mem0, RetainDB, ByteRover, and OpenViking read their keys
straight from os.environ yet had no place to set them in the GUI.
Add catalog entries (category=tool, password-masked, with get-key URLs
and the tool each powers) for all six, plus the relevant base-URL/endpoint
companions. Pure declaration: the generic GET /api/env endpoint, the
save/reveal write path, and the sandbox env blocklist (which auto-derives
from tool-category OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS) all pick these up with no further
wiring.
Adds a behavior-contract test asserting every memory provider's primary
credential key is catalogued, tool-categorised, and password-masked.
`hermes profile alias <profile> --name <custom>` accepted arbitrary
strings and used them verbatim as a filename under ~/.local/bin. Because
normalize_profile_name only lowercases/strips (no regex gate), a value
like `../../.bashrc` escaped the wrapper directory and clobbered
arbitrary user-writable files. remove_wrapper_script had the same sink.
Add validate_alias_name (reusing the profile-id regex, which forbids
`/`, `.`, and `..`) and wire it into check_alias_collision,
create_wrapper_script, remove_wrapper_script, and the CLI alias action so
the rejection surfaces a clear "Invalid alias name" error instead of
silently writing or unlinking outside the wrapper dir.

* fix(terminal): require approval for host-bound Docker commands
The Docker terminal backend blanket-skips dangerous-command approval on
the assumption that the container is isolated from the host. That holds
only when nothing is bind-mounted in. Once a host path is exposed (via
TERMINAL_DOCKER_MOUNT_CWD_TO_WORKSPACE or a host-path entry in
TERMINAL_DOCKER_VOLUMES), a command like `rm -rf /workspace` reaches
real host files but is still auto-approved.
Detect host bind mounts and route those sessions through the normal
approval flow. Isolated Docker keeps the fast path. The same gating is
applied to the execute_code guard, which had the identical blanket skip.

* chore: add AUTHOR_MAP entry for PR #6436 salvage (Kolektori)
* test: accept has_host_access kwarg in _check_all_guards mocks
The host-bound Docker approval fix adds a has_host_access kwarg to the
_check_all_guards wrapper. Six pre-existing tests monkeypatch it with a
fixed (command, env_type) / (cmd, env) lambda signature, which now
raises TypeError when terminal_tool passes the new kwarg. Widen those
mock signatures to accept **kwargs.

The fallback test only mocked fetch_api_models; CI still hit the real GMI
/v1/models endpoint via ProviderProfile.fetch_models and merged live
models into the result.
A config left with `provider: anthropic` but a leftover
`base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` (e.g. after a provider switch)
would route Anthropic OAuth/setup-token traffic to OpenRouter and 404.
Add `_anthropic_base_url_override_ok()` and gate the three native-Anthropic
resolution branches (pool, explicit, native) on it. The guard honors a
configured `model.base_url` only when it plausibly speaks the Anthropic
Messages protocol — official `*.anthropic.com` / `*.claude.com` hosts, Azure
Foundry endpoints, and `/anthropic`-suffixed or Kimi `/coding` proxies — and
falls back to `https://api.anthropic.com` otherwise. Aggregator URLs like
openrouter.ai / api.openai.com are treated as stale.
Reconstructed from @clovericbot's PR #3661 onto current main: the original
patched one branch with an anthropic-only allow-list, which would have broken
Azure-via-anthropic; widened to all three sites and made Azure/proxy-safe.
When config.yaml has `provider: auto` and a non-cloud `base_url` (e.g. Ollama
at localhost:11434), requests were silently sent to https://api.anthropic.com
whenever ANTHROPIC_API_KEY was present in the environment, ignoring the
configured local endpoint and returning HTTP 401 / "credit balance too low".
Root cause: resolve_provider("auto") scans env vars and returns "anthropic"
when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, before config.model.base_url is ever consulted.
In resolve_runtime_provider(), before calling resolve_provider(), short-circuit
to the OpenAI-compatible resolver when no explicit creds were passed, provider
is "auto"/unset, and a non-cloud base_url is configured. Well-known cloud roots
(openrouter.ai, anthropic.com, openai.com) are matched on HOST (not substring)
so look-alike hosts can't evade the bypass and leak a cloud credential.

Second pass on the remote-project flow: the project dialog and git cockpit were
remote-aware, but the composer's Add file/folder context picker still called the
native Electron picker directly. Route it through selectDesktopPaths so remote
sessions use the backend-aware picker instead of local disk paths; preserve local
multi-select behavior and keep remote folder selection single because the in-app
remote picker only supports one directory.
Also use readDesktopFileDataUrl for image previews so an already-known backend
image path can be read through /api/fs/read-data-url, and add focused coverage
for backend file-diff routing plus the plain-folder git init/worktree path.
After the folder picker fix, an added remote folder was still half-usable:
the desktop's git GUI (coding-rail status, worktree lanes, review pane,
branch switch, file diff) all ran Electron-local git on the USER's machine,
so against a remote-gateway repo they silently degraded to empty.
Mirror the whole surface over the dashboard REST API so it acts on the
BACKEND repo where sessions actually run:
- hermes_cli/web_git.py: git/gh logic (status, worktrees, branches, review
list/diff/stage/unstage/revert/commit/commit-context/push/ship-info/
create-pr, file-diff, worktree add/remove, branch switch) shelling to the
system git, mirroring the Electron ops' shapes.
- web_server.py: /api/git/* routes (same auth gate + _fs_path hardening as
/api/fs, executor-offloaded, mutations -> 400).
- apps/desktop desktop-git.ts: remote-aware facade exposing the same shape as
window.hermesDesktop.git; coding-status / review / projects / model /
desktop-fs route through desktopGit() so local stays Electron, remote hits
/api/git/*.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_git.py (real repo: status counts,
review classification, diff incl. untracked all-add, stage+commit roundtrip,
worktree/branch lifecycle, commit-context, gh-absent ship-info, auth) and
desktop-git.test.ts (local vs remote routing, envelope unwrap, POST bodies).
_get_platform_tools() applies agent.disabled_toolsets as a final
override AFTER reading platform_toolsets.<platform>, so a toolset
listed there stays permanently OFF no matter what the toggle write
path saves. Blank Slate installs pre-populate this list with ~27
toolsets, making most of the desktop Toolsets UI un-enableable
(issue #49995).
Fix: _save_platform_tools() now removes any toolset the user just
explicitly enabled FOR THIS PLATFORM from agent.disabled_toolsets.
Toolsets the user did not touch, or that remain disabled on other
platforms, are left alone -- disabled_toolsets keeps working as a
cross-platform suppression list for anything not actively re-enabled.
Disabling a toolset (unchecking it) does not touch disabled_toolsets
at all -- only enables reconcile it.
Verified end-to-end with the exact repro from the issue: Blank Slate
config (disabled_toolsets=['todo','memory','browser'], cli=['file',
'terminal']) -> enable 'todo' via the toggle -> _get_platform_tools()
now resolves 'todo' as enabled while 'memory'/'browser' (untouched)
remain disabled.
Added 4 regression tests. Full tools_config suite: 101 passed
(97 existing + 4 new), no regressions.
Fixes#49995
launchd restart can leave the gateway job stopped but still registered after
update-time drain logic, so a direct bootstrap hits exit 5 and falls back to a
detached process. Booting the stale registration out before bootstrap keeps the
launchd-managed restart path intact and locks it with a regression test.
Constraint: Keep upstream-facing conventional commit style while preserving local decision context
Rejected: Treat bootstrap exit 5 as expected | Leaves macOS launchd restart outside launchd supervision after update
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep launchd start/restart recovery flows aligned when changing launchctl handling
Tested: pytest -q tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_service.py -k "launchd_restart_boots_out_stale_registration_before_bootstrap or launchd_restart_falls_back_to_detached_on_error_5 or launchd_restart_drains_running_gateway_before_kickstart or launchd_restart_self_requests_graceful_restart_without_kickstart"
Tested: pytest -q tests/hermes_cli/test_gateway_service.py -k launchd
Not-tested: Manual macOS launchctl restart after hermes update
Folds in PR #42124 (kyssta-exe): systemd_install gained a non_interactive
flag so the 'Remove the legacy unit(s)?' prompt — the second hidden prompt
not guarded by --start-now/--start-on-login — is also skipped in headless
contexts. Updates systemd_install test mocks to accept the new kwarg and
adds coverage for the legacy-unit-skip path.
When running `hermes gateway install` on Linux/systemd, the command
unconditionally prompts with two `prompt_yes_no` questions, breaking
headless installs (SSH, CI, provisioning scripts) and ignoring the
existing --start-now / --start-on-login CLI flags that the Windows
branch already respects.
The fix mirrors the Windows path: read CLI flags first, prompt only
when flags are not provided AND stdin is a TTY, and fall back to True
defaults for non-TTY contexts. The argparse help strings are promoted
from SUPPRESS to visible so users can discover the flags.
Fixes#42065
The /api/pty handler only closed the PtyBridge in the writer loop's finally.
On child EOF the reader task closes the WebSocket, but if the handler task is
cancelled the instant the socket closes, the writer's finally can be skipped
and the PTY fds leak (#54028) — the FD-leak the regression test guards. Under
dashboard auto-reconnect this stacks orphaned PTYs until fds are exhausted.
Reap the bridge in the reader's EOF finally too (close() is idempotent), so
the PTY is reaped independently of the writer-loop cancellation race. Harden
the regression test to poll for teardown instead of asserting on the same
tick. Was flaky on main (2/20); now 25/25.
* fix(dashboard): close PTY WebSocket on child EOF to stop FD leak
The /api/pty handler's reader task returns on child EOF, but the writer
loop stayed blocked on ws.receive() until the browser sent a disconnect.
When the browser socket is half-open (no FIN delivered — common on
macOS/launchd), that disconnect never arrives, so the handler never
reaches its finally and the PTY master fd + child process leak. With
dashboard auto-reconnect (#52962), every dropped socket then spawns a
fresh PTY on top of the orphaned one, exhausting file descriptors within
hours (EMFILE / Errno 24).
Fix: the reader task now closes the WebSocket in a finally when the child
EOFs or the send side breaks, which unblocks ws.receive() so the existing
finally runs bridge.close(). The writer loop also guards ws.receive()
against the RuntimeError Starlette raises once the socket is closed.

Add two tests for the self-lock guard in _recover_from_interrupted_install:
one asserting it clears the marker and skips install when hermes.exe is a
process ancestor (breaking the #52378/#45542 loop), one asserting it falls
through to a normal recovery install when the shim is NOT an ancestor.
The guard's manual-recovery hint runs only inside the Windows branch, so
quote it for cmd.exe (cd /d, double-quoted paths) — the cross-platform
fallback hint at the end of the function is left POSIX-correct.
Map Icather in scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for the salvage.
Long-lived helpers spawned indirectly by tool calls (adb, platform
bridges) were left in the service cgroup after the gateway's main
process exited. When the kernel rejected the deferred cgroup-wide kill
with EINVAL, systemd blocked Restart=always for 6+ minutes, taking
down all platforms and cron windows (#37454).
Add a small ExecStopPost helper (gateway.cgroup_cleanup) that walks
cgroup.procs and sends per-PID SIGKILLs — a different kernel code path
than cgroup.kill, so it succeeds where the cgroup-wide write failed.
KillMode=mixed is preserved so the gateway still reaps its own
tool-call children before systemd intervenes (#8202).

When an LLM API call returns HTTP 4xx with an empty parsed SDK `body` ({}),
`_summarize_api_error` fell through to a bare `str(error)`, so users saw only
"HTTP 400" with no provider detail (reported on Windows in #36109). The SDK
leaves `body` empty in this case, but the httpx `response` still carries the
payload in `.text`.
- run_agent.py `_summarize_api_error`: when `body` is empty, fall back to
`response.text` — parse a JSON `error.message`/`message` when present, else
surface the raw (truncated) body. Platform-agnostic diagnostics.
- hermes_cli/oneshot.py: `hermes -z` now runs via `run_conversation` and returns
exit code 2 when the run is failed/partial with no usable final response, so
scripts can detect LLM failures (still 0 when a response — incl. an error
summary as output — is produced).
Tests: new tests/run_agent/test_summarize_api_error.py (empty-body JSON + raw
text, RED/GREEN verified) + oneshot exit-code/`run_conversation` wiring tests.
NOTE: #36109's original root cause (Windows "all providers return empty 400")
is not reproducible on current main (heavy provider-transport churn since
v0.15.1). This change does not claim to fix that root cause — it makes any
empty-body API error LEGIBLE so a future occurrence shows the real provider
message instead of a bare HTTP 400. Relates to #36109 (does not close it).
Adds a desktop: section to config.yaml so headless/VM users can make
`hermes desktop` launch correctly without a wrapper command:
- desktop.electron_flags: extra Electron CLI flags (e.g. --ozone-platform=x11)
appended to every launch. Accepts a list or a shell-split string.
- desktop.disable_gpu: auto|true|false, bridged to the HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU
env var the Electron app already reads. An explicit env var still wins.
cmd_gui() reads these via _desktop_launch_options() and applies them. This is
the config.yaml form of the capability proposed as a raw env var in #38934
(@1RB) — behavioral settings belong in config.yaml, not a new HERMES_* env var.

Non-root users picking 'System service' in the setup wizard were handed a
'sudo hermes gateway install --system --run-as-user <you>' recipe that fails
on most distros: sudo's secure_path strips ~/.local/bin (pipx/uv installs),
so 'sudo hermes' is command-not-found. Worse, it funnels a non-root user
toward a system install they shouldn't be doing from a user session.
Now prompt_linux_gateway_install_scope() only offers system scope when
os.geteuid()==0. Non-root sessions get user-service or skip, with a tip to
re-run as root for a boot service. The non-root branch in
install_linux_gateway_from_setup becomes a defensive guard that refuses
without printing any self-elevation recipe. Gated the matching deferral hint
in setup.py behind root too.
Follow-up to the salvaged #49129 commit. The original change flipped the
shared generic-provider merge in provider_model_ids() to live-first
unconditionally, which regressed curated-first for single providers
(kimi/zai, #46309) — and the PR encoded that regression by flipping the
kimi-coding and zai test assertions to expect live-first.
Gate live-first on an explicit _LIVE_FIRST_PICKER_PROVIDERS set
({opencode-zen, opencode-go}); every other provider keeps curated-first.
Also widen the uncapped picker + live-first sets to opencode-go, which has
the same 70+ model catalog problem as opencode-zen. Restore the
kimi-coding curated-first test and rewrite the merge-order test to assert
the per-provider contract.
Multi-agent boards leak staleness: a sibling worker's parent handoff,
comment, or prior-attempt summary gets read by the next worker as live
truth even when it's a day old. build_worker_context surfaced the text
with (at best) a bare absolute timestamp, which an LLM reads as fact
regardless of age — parent results had no timestamp at all.
Adds a coarse relative-age stamp (just now / 18h ago / 3d ago) to every
recalled-state line and a one-line 'point-in-time snapshot, re-verify
against source' frame on the parent-results section, so the worker sees
when handoffs were produced and re-checks stale ones before acting.
`resolve_provider("auto")` checked `auth.json` `active_provider` BEFORE the
config.yaml `model.provider` and env-var API-key checks. So a user who was
OAuth-logged-into one provider (e.g. Anthropic) but had set an explicit
`model.provider` or exported an API key (e.g. `OPENAI_API_KEY`) was silently
routed to the stale OAuth provider — the override was invisible and surprising.
Reorder the auto-path so explicit intent wins (the order the issue asks for):
1. explicit CLI api_key/base_url
2. config.yaml `model.provider` (safety net — see below)
3. OPENAI_API_KEY / OPENROUTER_API_KEY env
4. OpenRouter credential pool
5. provider-specific API-key env vars
6. auth.json `active_provider` (OAuth) ← demoted to last-resort
7. AWS Bedrock credential chain
8. error
`active_provider` is still honored — it's just a last-resort fallback chosen
only when the user expressed no other preference, instead of overriding one.
The normal chat/gateway/TUI/ACP/status path already resolves config.provider
upstream in `resolve_requested_provider()` before "auto" is reached, so this
duplicate config check is the safety net for the lone direct caller
(`main.py` `resolve_provider("auto")`) and any future bypass. Because every
surface funnels through this one resolver, the fix propagates everywhere with
a single edit — no sibling path re-implements precedence.
Also add a one-shot WARN when resolution lands on `active_provider` while a
populated `model` config dict lacks a `provider` key — surfacing the silent
override the issue reported without breaking first-install.
Synthesizes the two competing PRs: #29615 (LifeJiggy — config-before-auth +
the silent-override framing) and #29809 (Minksgo — the env-before-auth
reorder). #29809 could not be merged directly (bundled unrelated, un-opt-in
cost-tagging telemetry); its reorder idea is incorporated here and credited.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_provider_precedence.py — config/env beat stale
OAuth, OAuth still used as last resort, explicit request short-circuits, WARN
fires on silent fall-through. Full provider-resolution suites: 374 passed.

Fixes#27354
Root cause: called during init (or by any code path
that saves ) wrote injected schema defaults into
config.yaml as if the user had authored them. Two fix layers:
1. now only injects
when the user actually set
somewhere (root or agent). A user who never set
keeps it absent, so 's explicit-path
detection won't treat it as user-authored.
2. gains a parameter and a
new pass that removes keys matching
unless those paths were explicitly present in the
**raw** (pre-normalization) config on disk. Explicit-path detection
uses on *before* any
normalisation runs — preventing injected-in defaults from being
mistaken for user-set values.
All migration and edit-config call sites pass
to preserve their intentional default-seeding behaviour.
New helpers:
- — collects leaf-key paths from a raw dict
- — removes keys matching schema defaults
Test coverage: 4 new regression tests (59 total, all passing).
* fix(windows): stop terminal-window popups from background spawns
Native-Windows desktop/gateway users saw cmd/conhost windows flash on
gateway restart, image paste, the dashboard Projects tree, voice notes,
and ~5 min after closing the app (detached cron). Two root causes:
- Console-subsystem exes (taskkill, schtasks, wmic, netstat, tasklist,
agent-browser, git, ffmpeg, powershell, git-bash) spawned via raw
subprocess allocate a fresh console when the launching process has
none (pythonw desktop backend / detached gateway) - even with output
captured.
- uv venv pythonw shims re-exec console python.exe, so Python children
get a console regardless of how they're launched.
Fixes:
- Single hidden-spawn primitive (_subprocess_compat.run/.popen) that ORs
CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows, no-op on POSIX. Route every Hermes-owned
console-exe spawn through it.
- FreeConsole() catch-all in hermes_bootstrap: any Python child that
exclusively owns an auto-allocated console detaches it at startup
(GetConsoleProcessList()==1 gate leaves shared interactive consoles
untouched).
- Replace PowerShell/wmic gateway PID scans with in-process psutil.
- Skip schtasks queries on non-interactive desktop restarts.
- Prefer native agent-browser .exe over .cmd shims.
- Guard test bans raw subprocess spawns of the Windows-only console
tools repo-wide so the popup class can't regress.
* fix(windows): scope FreeConsole to background entry points; fix merge fallout
Console detach review (per #53810 feedback): GetConsoleProcessList()==1 can't
tell a uv pythonw->python phantom console apart from a user opening the
interactive CLI/TUI in its own fresh console (double-click, shortcut, ConPTY) —
both report a single attached process with a tty. Running FreeConsole() in the
import-time bootstrap therefore risked detaching a legitimately-interactive
terminal.
- Extract FreeConsole into explicit hermes_bootstrap.detach_orphan_console();
remove it from apply_windows_utf8_bootstrap() (import side effect).
- Call it only from known background mains: gateway run, dashboard backend
(start_server, what the desktop spawns), cron standalone, tui_gateway entry,
slash worker. Interactive CLI/TUI never calls it.
- Behavior-contract tests: frees only when solo owner, leaves shared console,
no-op without console / on POSIX, and asserts it's not an import side effect.
Merge fallout from origin/main (#53791):
- local.py: 3-way merge left a dangling **_popen_kwargs (NameError crashing
every terminal init). _subprocess_compat.popen already hides the window, so
drop it.
- discord adapter: merge stacked an undefined windows_hide_flags() onto the
primitive call; drop the redundant arg.
- test_gateway: scan now goes psutil-first (zero spawn); rewrite the
case-variant test to drive that production path.
* test(claw): mock _subprocess_compat.run seam for Windows process scan
claw.py's Windows tasklist/powershell scan routes through the hidden-spawn
primitive; the tests still patched claw_mod.subprocess, so on win32 the mock
was never hit and real spawns returned nothing. Patch the actual seam.
* fix(windows): stop subprocess console-window popups + add CI guard
The single biggest source of Windows 'terminal popup' bug reports was bare
subprocess.run/Popen calls spawning a console window. The compat helpers
(windows_hide_flags / windows_detach_popen_kwargs) already existed but the
footgun checker had no rule to stop new bare calls from reintroducing the flash.
- scripts/check-windows-footguns.py: new AST-based rule flagging subprocess
calls that can create a new console — output-redirection-aware (capture/
redirect/check_output exempt) and POSIX-only-program-aware (launchctl/
systemctl/brew/etc. exempt). Comprehensive on real popups, no annotation
burden on calls that can't flash.
- Swept all genuine window-spawning sites through windows_hide_flags()/
windows_detach_popen_kwargs(); marked intentionally-visible launches
(editor/terminal/foreground re-exec) with '# windows-footgun: ok'.
- tests/scripts/test_windows_footgun_subprocess_rule.py: behavior-contract
tests + full-repo cleanliness invariant.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: documents the rule + the helper pattern.
* test: accept creationflags kwarg in psutil_android fake_subprocess_run
The Windows no-window sweep added creationflags=windows_hide_flags() to
install_psutil_android.py's subprocess.run call; the test's fake stub had a
fixed (cmd) signature and raised TypeError on the new kwarg.
`hermes desktop` / `hermes update` recover from a corrupt Electron download by
purging the cached zip + re-downloading and retrying the pack, and then by
falling back to a public mirror. That recovery is only meaningful when the
packaged executable is MISSING — the signature of a partial/corrupt unpack.
A LATE failure such as macOS code signing (#40187) leaves
`Hermes.app/Contents/MacOS/Hermes` (or the platform equivalent) in place.
Re-downloading Electron can't repair a signing failure, so the purge +
slow mirror retry just grind through another identical failure before the
build finally errors out.
Gate both recovery blocks on `_desktop_packaged_executable(desktop_dir) is None`
so a build that already produced the executable fails fast instead of
triggering the destructive download recovery. The corrupt-download path
(executable missing) is unchanged.
Salvage of #42782, re-applied onto current main (the surrounding recovery was
refactored to `_electron_dist_ok` / `_redownload_electron_dist` since the PR
was opened). Adds a regression test asserting no purge / mirror retry runs when
the executable exists, and updates the existing retry/mirror tests to model the
corrupt-download case (executable absent) the recovery is actually for.
Related to #40187 (the residual cache-purge sub-issue; the signing failure
itself is fixed by #52591).
Selecting 'Mixture of Agents' in the `hermes model` provider picker fell
through silently — select_provider_and_model had no moa branch, so it just
reprinted the current model/provider summary and exited. And the CLI session
banner rendered the bare preset name (e.g. 'opus-gpt · Nous Research'),
which is meaningless out of context.
- Add _model_flow_moa: always lists the available presets (even one), then
prints the full reference-models + aggregator breakdown for the selection
and persists model.provider=moa / model.default=<preset> (dropping stale
base_url + endpoint creds, since moa is a virtual local provider).
- Wire the branch into select_provider_and_model.
- build_welcome_banner takes provider; when 'moa' it renders
'MoA: <preset> · agg <aggregator>' instead of a bare slug. Both CLI call
sites pass self.provider.
Tests: 2 new banner tests (moa + non-moa unchanged); E2E verified the picker
persists the preset and clears stale base_url/api_key.
* fix(update): route loud build/installer output to update.log instead of the terminal
hermes update flooded the terminal with the full vite asset dump,
electron-builder logs, npm deprecation warnings from the desktop build,
and the cua-driver installer's 'Next steps' wall. All of that is
low-signal noise the user doesn't need on a successful update.
- Capture the desktop --build-only subprocess (vite + electron-builder)
into ~/.hermes/logs/update.log; print a one-line status, and on
failure surface the last 15 lines + a pointer to the full log.
- Capture the cua-driver installer's output when verbose=False (the
hermes update refresh path); concise upgrade line is unchanged.
- Add _log_only_write() / _run_logged_subprocess() helpers that write to
the update.log handle without echoing to the terminal.
The repo-root npm install keeps streaming (capture_output=False) — that
is the deliberate #18840 guard so a slow postinstall download doesn't
look hung. The desktop npm install is a separate Electron process with
no such progress concern and is captured.
* fix(update): persist full cua-driver installer output to update.log
The captured cua-driver installer output was only sent to logger.debug
(agent.log) on failure, so the 'Next steps' wall was lost from
update.log entirely on success. Write the full captured output straight
to the update.log handle (sys.stdout._log) on both success and failure,
matching the desktop-build capture, so update.log keeps the complete
record of everything an update did.
* fix(tools): let vision pick any provider+model, not just OpenRouter
hermes tools → configure → vision no longer forces an OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
It now offers the same any-provider surface as the model command: Auto
(use main model / aggregator fallback), pick any authenticated provider +
model, or a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Selections persist to
auxiliary.vision.{provider,model,base_url} — the keys the vision resolver
already reads. Custom endpoint pins provider=custom so base_url routes
correctly. Reconfigure path uses the same picker instead of re-prompting
for OPENROUTER_API_KEY.
* docs: add PR infographic for vision any-provider picker
_normalize_custom_provider_entry() ran urlparse() on base_url and dropped
any entry whose value was an un-expanded placeholder, so a caller reaching
the normalizer with raw config (e.g. the Dockerized gateway path) silently
skipped the provider with a 'not a valid URL' warning. Skip URL validation
when the candidate contains a placeholder token — both ${ENV_VAR} env-refs
and bare {region}-style templates — since those are expanded at runtime.
Closes#14457
The dashboard Config tab's Model field is a flat string with no provider
info. _denormalize_config_from_web only updated model.default and kept the
stale provider, so picking an OpenRouter model while the default provider was
ollama-local left provider=ollama-local and every call 404'd.
When the model string actually changes, infer the serving provider — curated
catalog first, then a vendor/model-slug heuristic for non-aggregator providers
— and route the switch through the existing _normalize_main_model_assignment /
_apply_main_model_assignment chokepoints so stale base_url/api_mode/api_key are
cleared on a provider change and preserved on a same-provider re-pick. Saving
an unchanged model never re-detects, so unrelated config saves keep an explicit
provider.
Closes#14058
The dashboard form is built from CONFIG_SCHEMA, which doesn't enumerate
every root-level key the YAML supports. Most visibly, `custom_providers`
is in `_KNOWN_ROOT_KEYS` but is absent from the schema — so the frontend
never sends it in the PUT body. The previous full-replace save() then
silently wiped the key from disk every time the user clicked anything
that triggered a save. Other casualties (less visible because defaults
re-mask them on load) include `agent.personalities`,
`agent.reasoning_effort`, `terminal.lifetime_seconds`, etc.
Fix: read the raw on-disk config and deep-merge the incoming PUT body
on top of it before saving. The frontend can only overwrite what it
explicitly sends; everything else is preserved verbatim.
Reuses the existing `_deep_merge` helper from `hermes_cli.config`.
Tests:
- `test_round_trip_preserves_custom_providers` exercises the exact bug:
seed config with custom_providers, GET → drop the key → PUT,
assert it's still on disk.
- `test_round_trip_preserves_schema_invisible_nested_keys` covers the
shallow-vs-deep-merge case for nested dicts under `agent` etc.
Both fail on current main; both pass with this patch.
The verify-on-stop guard fired too eagerly — including on doc/markdown/skill
edits with nothing to verify, where it pushed a pointless /tmp verification
script. Three changes:
1. Default OFF for new installs: agent.verify_on_stop defaults to false
(was the "auto" surface-aware sentinel). _config_version bumped 30 -> 31.
2. One-time migration (v30 -> v31): existing installs are switched off once,
but only when the value is missing or still the "auto" sentinel — an
explicit true/false the user set is preserved.
3. Path filter: build_verify_on_stop_nudge() now drops documentation/prose
paths (.md/.mdx/.rst/.txt/LICENSE/CHANGELOG/...) so even when explicitly
enabled, a doc-only turn never nudges. Mixed doc+code turns still nudge on
the code paths.
The legacy "auto" sentinel is still honored when set explicitly (ON for
interactive coding surfaces, OFF for messaging). HERMES_VERIFY_ON_STOP env
override unchanged.
A model selected via the CLI (e.g. /model openrouter/<uncurated-name>) was
absent from every model picker — the main picker AND the MoA reference/
aggregator slot pickers — because each provider row only carried its curated
catalog. Inject the current model at the front of its provider's row so it is
selectable and shown everywhere.
