Conversation rhythm:
- Single `--paragraph-gap` knob drives paragraph spacing both inside a
markdown block and between consecutive prose parts, out-specifying Tailwind
Typography's prose margins. Code cards carry the same gap themselves so it
holds at any Streamdown nesting depth.
- Two-tier vertical rhythm: `--turn-block-gap` separates scaffolding (tools /
thinking) from the reply; `--tool-row-gap` keeps a tool run tight.
- Drop the prose indent so prose, tools, todos, and thinking share one left
edge. `---` renders as quiet spacing, not a heavy rule.
Flat tool list:
- Tools always render as a standalone-row stack, never a "Tool actions · N
steps" group. assistant-ui slices the tool range unstably (interleaved live
vs. reconstructed-consecutive when settled), so grouping reshuffled the whole
turn the instant it settled. Flat rows are pixel-identical either way.
- Inline approvals can no longer be buried in a collapsed group body.
- Remove the now-dead grouping helpers from tool-fallback-model.
Empty thinking:
- Suppress reasoning disclosures with no visible text (encrypted / spinner-
coerced reasoning) instead of leaving an empty "Thinking" header.
- Tail stall indicator returns "thinking" when a running turn goes quiet.
Streaming cadence:
- Smooth character-reveal decouples visible cadence from bursty arrival.
- Flush queued text deltas before applying tool events so a tool row can't
jump ahead of its preceding text.
- Disable Nagle on the GUI WebSocket so per-token frames aren't coalesced.
Polish: clarify/patch/vision_analyze tool meta, queue-panel + diff-lines
spacing, sticky human bubble expands on focus (not hover).
- clarify-tool: top-align the help icon (items-start + mt-px) so it sits
beside the first line of a multi-line question instead of floating
centered against the whole block.
- tool-fallback: a non-zero exit code alone no longer paints the whole
terminal/execute_code card red. grep no-match, diff differences, and
piped commands routinely exit non-zero while producing useful output;
only flag an error when the command produced no output. Explicit error
signals (error field, success=false, status=error, isError) still go red.
- Add regression tests covering the exit-code -> status matrix.
Strip shadow-composer (and its focus/open-state variants) from the
composer surface, composer fallback surface, and the shared user-bubble
base class. Also drop the !important box-shadow override on
[data-slot=composer-surface] that re-applied the shadow regardless of
the utility class, so the flatter look actually takes effect.
The Browse-hub tab was a blank search box with sparse result cards (name +
source + one Install button), no way to read a skill before installing, no
visual security scan, and no indication it was even connected to any hubs.
Backend (web_server.py):
- GET /api/skills/hub/sources — lists the configured hubs (label + trust
tier + GitHub rate-limit + index availability) and featured skills pulled
from the centralized index (zero extra API calls), plus installed-skill
provenance so the UI can mark already-installed results.
- GET /api/skills/hub/preview — fetches a skill's SKILL.md text + file
manifest WITHOUT installing (decodes byte-stored text, masks binaries).
- GET /api/skills/hub/scan — runs the SAME quarantine + scan_skill +
should_allow_install pipeline the CLI installer uses, then cleans up
quarantine, returning verdict / per-finding detail / severity tally /
install-policy decision.
- search now returns per-source counts + timed-out sources + installed map.
Frontend (SkillsPage HubBrowser):
- Landing state: connected-hubs strip + featured skill grid (no more blank
page).
- Rich cards: trust-level color coding, source, tags, identifier,
Details + Install (or Installed state).
- Detail dialog: read the actual SKILL.md, on-demand visual security scan
(verdict pill, severity tally, per-finding list, allow/block policy),
GitHub repo link.
- Search meta line: result count + timing + per-source breakdown (the
'feels slow / no feedback' complaint).
Tests: 4 new endpoint test classes (sources/preview/scan + updated search
shape) in test_dashboard_admin_endpoints.py.
profile list and profile show assumed the wrapper script is always named
after the profile (wrapper_dir / name). When a custom alias exists — e.g.
`hermes profile alias steve --name qiaobusi` creates ~/.local/bin/qiaobusi
pointing at `hermes -p steve` — the display silently showed the profile
name (or nothing) instead of the alias the user actually typed.
The custom-alias *creation* path (create_wrapper_script(name, target)) was
added later; the *display* path was never updated to match.
Add find_alias_for_profile() — a reverse lookup that scans the wrapper dir
for our own wrappers (alias-named file containing 'hermes -p <profile>'),
prefers a custom alias over the profile-named one, strips .bat on Windows,
and sorts for deterministic output. Populate ProfileInfo.alias_name and wire
it into the three display sites (profile describe, list, show).
Credit: salvages the intent of #11506 by wss434631143, reimplemented on
current main against the post-#11506 custom-alias (--name/target) mechanism.
Tests: 6 new (profile-named, custom-name, none, unrelated-file rejection,
windows .bat strip, list_profiles surfacing). All 123 in test_profiles pass.
E2E verified against the real CLI for both custom and profile-named aliases.
credits.grant_spent is a one-time "your monthly grant is used up, you're now on
top-up" heads-up, but it was sticky — it camped the TUI status bar until the grant
refilled, so a user with healthy top-up saw "Grant spent · $990 top-up left"
indefinitely. Treat it like the usage-band notice: flash once, then clear on the
next prompt (startMessage). Depletion stays sticky (you actually can't make
requests). The Python `active` latch keeps the key, so it won't re-fire next turn.
* feat(tui): HERMES_DEV_CREDITS live-spend dev readout (L0 tracer for usage-aware credits)
L0 of the usage-aware-credits feature: a dev-only, env-gated tracer that
exercises the real header -> CreditsState -> TUI pipe end-to-end behind
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS, de-risking the L1/L5 build before the notice policy exists.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: CreditsState + parse_credits_headers (headers are
strings -> paid_access via == "true", never bool(); retain-last-known; only
subscription_micros may be negative; *_usd kept verbatim).
- run_agent.py: _capture_credits / get_credits_state / get_credits_spent_micros,
session-start baseline latch, + dev-gated "credits" capture log.
- agent/chat_completion_helpers.py: capture on the streaming response.
- agent/agent_init.py: init _credits_state + _credits_session_start_micros.
- tui_gateway/server.py: _get_usage emits dev_credits_spent_micros only when flagged.
- ui-tui appChrome.tsx / types.ts: cents delta status segment + "(dev credits)" banner.
Off by default; silent for normal users. Validated live against staging
(capture log delta matches the TUI segment). Throwaway consumer (readout/log/
banner); credits_tracker + the capture plumbing are the real feature foundation.
* test(credits): lock parser under 9-state matrix + harden validation (L2)
Add tests/agent/test_credits_tracker.py with 92 tests covering the 9-state
matrix (healthy, sub_90pct, grant_exhausted, purchased_only, tool_pool_free,
depleted, debt, missing, no_org) plus validation edge cases: version strict==1
with warn-once latch for v>1, bool-string trap (paid_access/tool_pool_gated_off
== "true"/"false", never bool()), half-pair subscription limit treated as
both-absent while parse succeeds, USD regex ^-?\d+\.\d{2}$, non-int micros
→ None, negative non-subscription micros → None, as_of_ms junk → None, zero
limit ZeroDivision guard.
Harden agent/credits_tracker.py to match the spec:
- Add tool_pool_micros/tool_pool_gated_off/from_header fields to CreditsState
- Add depleted property (== not paid_access, never remaining==0)
- Change used_fraction guard to key off subscription_limit_micros (the actual
denominator) not denominator_kind (metadata)
- Replace fail-soft _safe_int with a sentinel-returning variant; full validation
now returns None on any malformed field rather than silently defaulting
- Add module-level warn-once latch for version > 1
- Add USD regex validation; add denominator_kind allow-list check
- Parse x-nous-tool-pool-* prefix headers (not x-nous-credits-tool-pool-*)
* feat(credits): notice spine — AgentNotice + notice_callback/notice_clear_callback + TUI binding (L1)
L1 of usage-aware credits: the driver-agnostic notice delivery spine that L4's
policy will fire through and L5's TUI render will consume.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: AgentNotice dataclass (text/level/kind/ttl_ms/key/id;
kind defaults "sticky", kept TTL-expressive for a future config seam).
- run_agent.py: AIAgent gains notice_callback + notice_clear_callback slots and
_emit_notice / _emit_notice_clear emitters (swallow all callback errors — a
notice must never break the agent loop; no-op when unbound).
- agent/agent_init.py: thread both callbacks through init_agent.
- tui_gateway/server.py: bind both in _agent_cbs → notification.show / notification.clear
WS events (snake_case payload, matching the existing gateway-event convention).
- ui-tui/src/gatewayTypes.ts: notification.show / notification.clear arms on GatewayEvent.
- tests/run_agent/test_notice_spine.py: 15 tests (emitter fire + fail-open + no-op,
signature threading, TUI binding payload shape).
Messaging push is out of v1 (binds neither callback). CLI binding + the TUI render/
decode land with L4 (firing) and L5 (render) so turn-end flush is wired correctly.
* feat(credits): threshold reconciliation policy + tests (L4.1)
* feat(credits): wire threshold policy into capture + latch (L4.2)
After a fresh header parse, _capture_credits runs evaluate_credits_notices against
the agent's _credits_latch and emits the result — clears first, then shows (so a
recovered depletion clears before the "restored" success lands, and depleted wins
the latest-wins slot). Gated on a bound notice_callback: messaging (no callbacks)
still caches state for /usage but runs no policy. Parse stays fail-open (miss →
keep last-known); the eval/emit path warns on failure rather than swallowing, so a
depletion-notice bug can't vanish silently.
- run_agent.py: _capture_credits split into parse (swallow→miss) + policy (warn);
latch lazy-guarded (object.__new__ safety).
- agent/agent_init.py: init agent._credits_latch = {"active": set(), "seen_below_90": False}.
* feat(tui): render credits notices in the status bar (L5, Strategy B)
The TUI now renders the notification.show / notification.clear gateway events the
agent emits — a level-colored notice overrides the status/verb slot when not busy.
- Notice state machine on turnController (pendingNotice + dedicated noticeTimer +
show/clear/applyNotice/flushPendingNotice/clearNoticeState). createGatewayEventHandler
decodes the events and delegates.
- Render priority busy > notice > status (appChrome StatusRule); notice text rendered
verbatim (its glyph comes from the policy), shrinkable so it never clips model│ctx;
dev-credits banner + Δ segment preserved. UiState.notice is snake_case (matches wire).
- Busy-wins: a notice arriving mid-turn is held and flushed at the THREE turn-end sites
(recordMessageComplete / interruptTurn / recordError) — never idle(), which reset()
also calls (would leak across sessions); reset() clears instead.
- Dedicated noticeTimer (never statusTimer); TTL starts on visibility with an id-guard;
latest-wins cancels the prior timer; clear is key-matched (no-op on mismatch); a sticky
survives a turn (flush no-ops with no pending); session reset clears (no cross-session leak).
- 20 tests (handler/turnController logic incl. R3-C2 timer isolation + render priority).
* feat(credits): cold-start seed for new Nous sessions (L3)
A genuinely-new Nous session has no inference header yet, so seed credits state from
the authoritative GET /api/oauth/account snapshot at session start (in the new-session
branch of _restore_or_build_system_prompt — inline, since the on_session_start plugin
hook gets no agent reference). The seed runs the shared notice policy, so a session that
opens already depleted warns IMMEDIATELY rather than only after the first turn.
- Maps the nested account fields (paid_service_access → paid_access; total_usable /
subscription / purchased on paid_service_access_info; rollover on subscription), each
None-guarded; float dollars → micros via round(d*1e6), *_usd left "" (render formats
from micros — never synthesize a verbatim usd from a float).
- Magnitudes-only: no monthlyCredits on the endpoint → subscription_limit_* unset →
used_fraction None → no warn90 from the seed (% only once a header lands, per D-E).
- Provider-guarded to Nous; fail-open (any error leaves _credits_state None, never
blocks startup); paid_access unknown ⇒ True (never falsely depleted).
- run_agent.py: extracted the warm-path policy/emit block into a shared
_emit_credits_notices() so capture and the seed fire notices identically.
* feat(credits): /usage Nous credits magnitudes view + recovery trigger (L6)
Add Nous credit dollar magnitudes to /usage (subscription / top-up / total
+ rollover + renewal + portal CTA), magnitudes-only per v1 (no % until the
account endpoint exposes a denominator). Reuses the existing account-usage
render machinery via a new pure build_nous_credits_snapshot() that maps a
NousPortalAccountInfo to an AccountUsageSnapshot; no nous branch is added to
fetch_account_usage (keeps the per-provider boundary intact).
CLI /usage also doubles as a depletion-recovery trigger: a force_fresh
account fetch, kept in a SEPARATE local so it never clobbers the
header-sourced agent._credits_state (which alone carries used_fraction). If
paid access recovered while credits.depleted is latched and a notice
consumer is bound, it reuses agent._emit_credits_notices() to clear it.
Gateway /usage displays magnitudes only — messaging binds no notice
consumer, so it performs no recovery emit.
Fail-open throughout: any portal hiccup leaves /usage unaffected.
* refactor(credits): dedupe HERMES_DEV_CREDITS flag parse via shared helpers
The dev-flag truthy check was inlined in three places. Replace with the shared
utils.is_truthy_value (run_agent.py, tui_gateway/server.py — also drops a
redundant inline `import os`) and a hoisted DEV_CREDITS_MODE export in
ui-tui/src/config/env.ts (consumed by appChrome, which also stops recomputing the
env check on every render). Behaviour-preserving; identical truthy set.
* fix(credits): cut dead /usage recovery trigger + bound portal fetches (L6 review)
Adversarial review found the /usage depletion-recovery trigger dead AND broken:
the CLI binds no notice_clear_callback, the TUI runs /usage in a separate
slash-worker subprocess (its own agent/latch), and the no-clobber rule made it
evaluate stale paid_access anyway. Recovery already happens on the next inference
(warm path), so the trigger was redundant — remove it and stop the depleted
notice over-promising.
- cli.py: remove the dead recovery block; bound the /usage portal fetch with a
10s wall-clock timeout (ThreadPoolExecutor) like the per-provider fetch —
urllib's per-socket timeout is not a wall-clock guarantee.
- agent/credits_tracker.py: reword the depleted CTA to "run /usage for balance"
(no false recovery promise; /usage shows fresh magnitudes, sticky clears next turn).
- agent/conversation_loop.py: same wall-clock timeout on the cold-start seed fetch
so a stalled portal can't hang session startup; tidy its time import.
* chore(credits): dev notice-state fixtures (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE)
Throwaway dev scaffolding to exercise the notice pipeline without real spend or
Redis seeding. Set HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE to a state name (healthy / sub_90pct
/ grant_exhausted / depleted / clear) or a file path whose contents name a state
(re-read each turn → flip states live for recovery testing). _capture_credits
injects the chosen CreditsState instead of parsing real headers and runs the
shared notice policy. Deletable with the rest of the HERMES_DEV_CREDITS scaffolding.
* feat(credits): /usage monthly-grant % gauge
The portal /api/oauth/account subscription block now carries monthly_credits
(the per-period grant allowance, the % denominator). The consumer parsed
monthly_charge but dropped monthly_credits, so /usage stayed magnitudes-only.
Capture monthly_credits into NousPortalSubscriptionInfo + _subscription_from_payload.
build_nous_credits_snapshot emits a Subscription usage window (real % used, routed
through the existing render machinery) when monthly_credits is a finite positive
denominator and credits_remaining is finite and <= cap; otherwise it degrades to
magnitudes-only (older portals, rollover-over-cap, or non-finite payloads).
Guards (adversarial-review-driven): reject non-finite operands (json.loads parses
bare NaN/Infinity by default → would render $nan + a false 100% used), reject
bools, guard div-by-zero (cap>0), and suppress the gauge when remaining > cap
(rollover spanning the period makes the cap a nonsensical denominator → the
$X-of-$Y detail would read as a contradiction). Debt (remaining<0) clamps to 100%.
Money rule preserved: the ratio + magnitudes are computed from numeric float
account fields via display formatting, never by parsing a server *_usd string
(there are none on these dataclasses).
13 gauge tests added (tests/agent/test_nous_credits_gauge.py).
* fix(credits): show /usage Nous block whenever a Nous account is present
/usage runs in a slash-worker subprocess whose resolved inference provider is
often not "nous" even when the user has a Nous account, so gating the Nous
credits block on (provider == "nous") hid it entirely — the account data was
fully available but never rendered.
Gate instead on "a Nous account is logged in": a cheap local auth-state lookup
(get_provider_auth_state('nous') has an access_token) decides whether to attempt
the portal fetch, regardless of which provider inference runs on. In the gateway
the block is also lifted out of the 'if provider:' scope so a Nous-credentialled
user with another (or no) resident inference provider still sees their balance.
Fail-open and the per-fetch wall-clock timeout are preserved.
* fix(credits): show /usage Nous block when there's no live agent (TUI slash-worker)
In the TUI, /usage runs in a slash-worker subprocess that resumes the session
WITHOUT building an agent (self.agent is None), so _show_usage early-returned
"(._.) No active agent" before ever reaching the Nous credits block — which is
agent-independent (a portal fetch gated on Nous auth-state). Extract the block
into _print_nous_credits_block() and run it at the no-agent / no-calls
early-returns too (returns True if it printed, so the fallback message only
shows when there's genuinely nothing).
Verified live against staging: the block + monthly-grant gauge now render in the
slash-worker /usage path (previously hidden). The plain CLI REPL + messaging
paths are unchanged (they have a live agent).
* feat(credits): escalating 50/75/90 usage bands (single status line)
Replace the lone 90%-used warning with three escalating bands (50 info, 75 warn,
90 warn) shown as ONE status-bar line: it displays the highest band the
subscription grant has crossed, replaces the line as usage climbs, steps back
down on recovery, and clears below 50%. No stacking, no per-turn churn.
Bands live in a tunable CREDITS_USAGE_BANDS list; the policy derives everything
from it. Single notice key (credits.usage) with a usage_band latch field so the
notice only re-emits when the band actually changes. The crossing gate
(seen_below_90) is preserved so a fresh live session that opens mid-range stays
quiet until it has been observed below the lowest band (cold-start primes it when
it wants an open-high warning). Denominator math unchanged: % = subscription
grant burn (cap - grant_remaining)/cap, clamped [0,1]; top-up never moves the %.
Migrated test_credits_policy.py to the new key + added TestUsageBands (climb,
step-down, recovery-clear, idempotent, inclusive boundaries).
* feat(credits): hydrate notices at session OPEN via shared seed (TUI + first-turn)
Notices previously only fired inside a conversation turn (first message), so a
session that opened already depleted / past a usage band showed nothing at
'ready'. Extract the cold-start seed into a shared seed_credits_at_session_start()
and call it (a) in the TUI/desktop agent build right after the notice callback is
wired (fires at 'ready', before any message) and (b) as the first-turn fallback in
conversation_loop. Idempotent (skips once _credits_state exists) and fail-open.
The seed now maps monthly_credits -> subscription_limit_micros +
denominator_kind='subscription_cap', so used_fraction is computable at seed time
and usage-band warnings (not just depletion) hydrate on open. Primes the crossing
latch so a session opening already in a band warns immediately. Degrades to
depletion-only when monthly_credits is absent (older portals).
Adds test_credits_cold_start.py covering open-at-band, depletion, debt, no-cap
degradation, and the shared seed (fires/idempotent/skips-non-nous).
* feat(credits): /usage monthly-grant % gauge + fixture support + TUI surfacing
agent/account_usage.py: build_nous_credits_snapshot emits a subscription %% gauge
when the portal supplies a positive, finite monthly_credits denominator with
remaining <= cap (guards reject NaN/Infinity and rollover-over-cap, which would
render $nan or a contradictory $X-of-$Y); degrades to magnitudes-only otherwise.
Adds shared nous_credits_lines() (auth-gated, wall-clock-bounded portal fetch) so
the CLI and TUI /usage render the same block, and _snapshot_from_credits_state()
so HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE drives /usage offline too.
TUI: session.usage RPC carries credits_lines (agent-independent) and the /usage
panel renders them regardless of API-call count or resume state — previously the
TUI's separate /usage implementation only showed token counts.
Money rule preserved: %% and magnitudes come from numeric float account fields via
display formatting, never by parsing a server *_usd string.
* feat(credits): CLI REPL inline notices (parity with TUI)
The plain CLI agent bound no notice callbacks, so credit notices were TUI-only.
Bind notice_callback/notice_clear_callback on the CLI AIAgent; _on_notice renders
a single level-colored line above the prompt (error red / warn yellow / success
green / info dim) via _cprint, and seed credits at session open so a depletion or
usage-band warning shows before the first message — the same hydration the TUI
got. _on_notice_clear is a no-op (the REPL prints lines, no persistent slot).
* test(credits): add sub_50pct + sub_75pct dev fixtures for the new usage bands
The fixture set jumped 10%% -> 90%%; add sub_50pct (uf 0.5 -> band 50 info) and
sub_75pct (uf 0.75 -> band 75 warn) so the new escalating bands are exercisable
via HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE across all three surfaces (notice, session-open
seed, /usage gauge).
* fix(credits): usage-band notice clears on next prompt (not sticky-forever)
A 50/75/90 usage heads-up was sticky and camped the status bar indefinitely. Clear
the visible credits.usage notice when a new turn starts (startMessage), so it shows
until your next prompt then yields. The server latch is unchanged, so it won't
re-nag at the same band — it only re-shows when the band actually changes (climb)
or clears when usage drops below the lowest band. Depletion stays sticky.
* refactor(credits): consolidate the /usage credits block behind nous_credits_lines()
The CLI (_print_nous_credits_block) and the messaging gateway (_handle_usage_command)
each re-implemented the auth-gate + portal fetch + render, and both bypassed the
dev-fixture short-circuit that only the TUI honored — so /usage ignored
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE on the CLI and in chat. Route both through the shared
agent.account_usage.nous_credits_lines() helper: one fetch/render path, one auth
gate, and the fixture works on every surface (~60 fewer duplicated lines).
The gateway usage test recorded only the last asyncio.to_thread call; /usage now
dispatches both the account fetch and the credits fetch, so it records every call
and matches the account fetch by its provider arg.
* fix(credits): keep the /usage gauge type-safe and log its fail-open path
_is_finite_num is now a TypeGuard[float], so the type checker narrows the gauge
operands (monthly_credits / credits_remaining) and the magnitudes passed to
_fmt_usd through it — no more None-operand warnings on the arithmetic. Add a debug
breadcrumb on the nous_credits_lines portal-fetch fail-open so a dead /usage block
is diagnosable in agent.log without a dev flag.
* fix(credits): harden the header tracker — prod-leak gate, hot-path probe, fire-and-forget seed
- Prod-leak guard: dev fixtures (HERMES_DEV_CREDITS_FIXTURE) now also require
HERMES_DEV_CREDITS, so a stray fixture var can't surface fabricated balances on a
real account. Matches the documented run workflow (both vars set together).
- Hot-path probe: parse_credits_headers checks for the version sentinel header
before allocating a lowercased copy of the response headers — skips that work on
every non-Nous API call. Behaviour-identical and still case-insensitive.
- Fire-and-forget seed: the real portal fetch in seed_credits_at_session_start now
runs in a daemon thread, so a slow/unreachable portal never delays session "ready"
(previously blocked up to 10s). The dev-fixture path stays synchronous; the thread
re-checks idempotency before hydrating (a live header may land first).
- Diagnostics: debug breadcrumbs on the parse and seed fail-open paths so a crashed
parser / dead seed is distinguishable from a legitimate no-headers miss.
Cold-start tests set HERMES_DEV_CREDITS alongside the fixture to match the gate.
* test(tui): fix env-timing in the StatusRule dev-credits assertion
DEV_CREDITS_MODE is read once at module load (config/env), so mutating
process.env.HERMES_DEV_CREDITS inside the test couldn't flip it — the dev-banner
assertion only passed if the env was exported before vitest started, and failed in a
normal run. Move that assertion to a sibling file that mocks config/env with
DEV_CREDITS_MODE: true (scoped, no module-reset / React-identity hazard).
* test(credits): cover the dev-fixture /usage render and usage-band clear-on-prompt
- _snapshot_from_credits_state (the offline /usage renderer) had no direct test:
lock the gauge math, the verbatim *_usd magnitudes, the depletion line and the
fixture marker, plus the no-cap (no gauge) and None-state cases.
- turnController.startMessage had no test for clearing the credits.usage notice on
the next prompt while leaving credits.depleted sticky.
* feat(credits): deliver credit notices over messaging gateways
Bind notice_callback/notice_clear_callback on the per-turn gateway agent
so usage-band / depletion / restored notices reach Telegram/Discord/Slack/
etc. Previously the messaging gateway bound neither callback, so the agent's
_emit_credits_notices early-returned and a chat user crossing a band got
nothing unless they ran /usage manually.
- render_notice_line(): AgentNotice -> single plaintext line (level glyph +
text), plaintext-only so it renders uniformly without per-platform escaping.
Fail-soft on malformed/empty notices.
- Standalone push for every notice (messaging has no persistent status bar):
route through the shared _deliver_platform_notice rail (honors private/
public delivery + thread metadata), scheduled onto the gateway loop via
safe_schedule_threadsafe from the agent's sync worker thread — same pattern
as _status_callback_sync.
- The fired-once latch lives on the cached (reused-in-place) agent and
persists across turns, so a band crosses once -> one push, no per-turn
re-nag. Re-fires only after idle-eviction rebuilds the agent (a reminder).
- Recovery ('Credit access restored') rides the show path (emitted as a
success notice, not a clear). notice_clear_callback is a no-op: a sent
platform message can't be cleanly retracted.
Tests: render glyph/levels/fail-soft + public/private delivery seam through
_deliver_platform_notice + no-adapter no-op.
* fix(credits): don't double the glyph on messaging notices
render_notice_line prepended a per-level glyph, but the notice policy already
bakes the glyph into the text (and the TUI + CLI render it verbatim) — so every
credit notice over messaging came out doubled ("⚠ ⚠ Credits 90% used",
"⛔ ✕ Credit access paused"). Emit the text verbatim instead; drop the now-dead
level→glyph map.
The render tests fed glyph-less text (and the success case only checked
startswith), so the doubling slipped through. Rework them around the verbatim
contract and add an end-to-end regression that runs real evaluate_credits_notices
output through render_notice_line and asserts the line is returned unchanged.
Switching the main model never touches auxiliary slot pins (they're
independent, sticky per-task overrides). A user who switches main away
from a now-unpaid provider keeps paying 402s on every background aux call
until they manually reset those pins — silently, with no UI signal.
- /api/model/set scope:'main' now returns stale_aux: slots still pinned
to a provider different from the new main (additive field).
- Desktop Model Settings shows a switch-time notice after Apply AND a
persistent banner when any loaded aux slot mismatches the main provider,
both wired to the existing 'Reset all to main' action.
- Never auto-clears pins — a dedicated cheaper aux model is a legitimate
config; surface-and-offer instead of nuking.
- Fixes a stale pre-existing assertion in the panel test (main model now
renders via selectors, not a standalone label).
Follow-up on the cherry-picked content-block fix. _extract_output_tail
(the live subagent overlay) still used crude str(content), which renders
a "[{'type': 'text'...}]" blob and — worse — mislabels a block-wrapped
"Error: ..." result as is_error=False. Route it through the same
_stringify_tool_content helper so error detection and previews work at
both consumer sites.
- delegate_tool.py: _extract_output_tail uses _stringify_tool_content
- tests: add _extract_output_tail content-block test (error detection +
clean preview)
- release.py: AUTHOR_MAP entry for randomsnowflake (CI gate)
The native macOS About panel showed the Electron package.json version
(e.g. 0.15.1) while the status bar showed the real Hermes version
(0.16.0). setAboutPanelOptions() set applicationName + copyright but
omitted applicationVersion, so macOS fell back to app.getVersion() =
package.json, which drifts (release.py's desktop lockstep bump didn't
land for 0.16.0).
resolveHermesVersion() already reads the live version from
hermes_cli/__init__.py and was built 'so the desktop About panel shows
the real Hermes version' per its own comment, but was never wired in.
- Seed applicationVersion: resolveHermesVersion() at module load.
- Replace the macOS About menu item's role:'about' with a click handler
(showAboutPanelFresh) that re-resolves the version on every open, so an
in-place `hermes update` is reflected without an app restart.
* fix: respect disabled auto-compaction on context overflow
Port from anomalyco/opencode#30749.
When compression.enabled is false, NO automatic compaction trigger may
fire. The proactive token-threshold paths (preflight + post-response
should_compress gate) already honoured the setting, but the three
provider-overflow recovery paths in the agent loop — long-context-tier
429, 413 payload-too-large, and context-overflow — called
_compress_context() unconditionally, silently compressing and rotating
the session against the user's explicit choice.
Add a single guard at the top of the overflow-recovery dispatch: when
compression is disabled and the error is one of those three overflow
classes, surface a terminal error (compaction_disabled: True) telling the
user to /compress manually, /new, switch to a larger-context model, or
reduce attachments. Manual /compress (force=True) is unaffected — it never
enters this loop.
Tests: new TestOverflowWithCompactionDisabled (413 + 400 overflow don't
compress when disabled; control case still compresses when enabled).
Existing overflow-recovery tests updated to enable compaction explicitly
(they verify the recovery fires); fixture defaults flipped to True to
match production (compression.enabled defaults to True).
* fix(dashboard): populate cron delivery dropdown from configured platforms
The dashboard cron-create/edit dropdown hardcoded five delivery options
(local, telegram, discord, slack, email), so users on Matrix — or any
other backend-supported platform — had no way to pick their channel even
though the cron scheduler delivers to all of them. It also offered
Telegram/Discord/etc. to users who never set those up.
- cron/scheduler.py: add cron_delivery_targets() — the single source of
truth. Intersects gateway-configured platforms with cron-deliverable
ones and reports whether each platform's home channel is set.
- web_server.py: GET /api/cron/delivery-targets exposes that list (+ the
implicit local option) to the dashboard.
- CronPage.tsx: both modals render options from the endpoint. Configured
platforms missing a home channel still appear, annotated "set a home
channel first" (option B), so the user knows what to fix. Edit modal
preserves a job's current target even if it's no longer configured.
Local-only state shows a "configure a platform under Channels" hint.
Validation: scheduler + endpoint E2E'd with a Matrix gateway (home set
and unset); 5 new tests; tests/cron + tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server
green (366 passed).
The inline steer note used a ⏩ emoji. Emit a structured `steer:<text>`
system note and render it in SystemMessage as a codicon (compass) row —
same style as slash-status output. No emoji in the transcript.
Cmd/Ctrl+Enter now steers when there's a steerable draft and is a no-op
otherwise — it never falls through to a send, so the shortcut can't
surprise-send. Plain Enter keeps its role (queue while busy, send when idle).
A steer rides inside a tool result (the only role-alternation-safe slot
mid-turn), so a bare "User guidance:" line reads as untrusted tool content —
well-behaved models refuse it as suspected prompt injection (observed live:
"I only follow instructions from you directly, not ones injected through
command results").
- Wrap steers in a bounded, self-describing [OUT-OF-BAND USER MESSAGE] marker
(prompt_builder.format_steer_marker), shared by both drain sites.
- Add STEER_CHANNEL_NOTE to the core system prompt so the model expects this
exact marker and trusts it as a genuine user message — while still ignoring
lookalikes buried in tool/web/file output. Static text → byte-stable prompt,
no prompt-cache regression; gated on the agent having tools.
- Desktop: steer ack is now an inline transcript note (⏩ steered · …) instead
of a toast.
Marker is intentionally static (not a per-session nonce) to honor the
byte-stable system-prompt caching policy; nonce hardening noted as follow-up.
The desktop app could only queue while busy — `/steer` was in the palette
but had no first-class affordance, so the "nudge the agent mid-turn without
interrupting" lane was effectively unreachable.
Add a steer action to the composer: while busy with a text-only draft, a
steering-wheel button (and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter) injects the text into the live
turn via the `session.steer` RPC — the gateway folds it into the next tool
result so the model reads it on its next iteration. Plain Enter still queues.
steerPrompt returns false when the gateway has no live tool window (or the
RPC errors), and the composer re-queues the words so nothing is lost — the
same safety net as a plain queue.
Force-sending a queued message (double-empty-enter, or interrupt-mode
submit) flipped busy→false optimistically, so the queue drain raced the
still-unwinding turn: duplicate user bubble, a stray "queued: …" note, and
the cancelled turn's "Operation interrupted…" reply leaking in.
interruptTurn gains `keepBusy`: hold busy until the gateway's real settle
edge (message.complete, suppressed while interrupted), which drains the
queued message exactly once — desktop "send now" parity. The interrupt
paths now queue + interrupt instead of optimistically sending.
Builds on @naqerl's arrow up/down history (previous commit), making
ArrowUp do the right thing when a queue exists.
ArrowUp/ArrowDown priority:
1. Editing a queued turn → walk older/newer through queued entries,
saving each edit; ArrowDown past the newest exits and restores the
pre-edit draft.
2. Empty composer + queued turns → ArrowUp opens the newest queued entry
for editing (the row's pencil), so Enter saves it back to the queue
instead of firing a new message — the gap the history nav had alone.
3. Otherwise → sent-message history recall (unchanged).
Also: Esc cancels an in-progress queue edit (else interrupts).
Cleanups on the integrated code: fold the browse-state reset into the
existing session-change effect (drop the duplicate ref+effect); reuse
loadIntoComposer for history recall; sort imports; add curly braces +
the runDrain sessionId dep (lint).
* fix(desktop): make composer message queue reliable
The queue felt 'dumb' because of three real bugs:
1. Drained-after-interrupt sends went silent. cancelRun sets
interrupted:true and nothing reset it; submitPromptText's optimistic
seed preserved it, and the message stream drops every delta while
interrupted. So Send-now-while-busy and any interrupt+drain submitted
the next turn into a muted session. Fix: a fresh submit is a new turn —
seed interrupted:false.
2. Back-to-back queue drains stalled. The drain fires on the busy->false
settle edge, but busyRef (synced from the busy store by a separate
effect) can still read true on that same edge, so the drained send hit
the busy guard, returned false, and the entry was never removed. Fix:
fromQueue sends bypass the busyRef guard (the queue drain lock
serializes them); the user path keeps the guard.
3. Double-enter-to-interrupt killed single non-queue turns. The hidden
450ms timer meant a natural double-tap after sending stopped the agent.
Fix: empty Enter while busy is a no-op; interrupting is explicit —
Stop button or Esc.
Also: clean stop (no [interrupted] marker), Send-now works while busy
(promote + interrupt + auto-drain), settle on the interrupted completion
path. Adds regression tests and unblocks the prompt-actions suite by
completing its stale @/hermes mock.
* fix(desktop): float the queue panel as an overlay so the chat doesn't resize
The queue list rendered in-flow inside the composer root, so its height
fed --composer-measured-height (the composer rect drives the thread's
bottom padding + last-message clearance). Queuing a message grew that
rect and the whole chat visibly resized.
Anchor the panel out of flow above the composer (absolute bottom-full,
capped at 40vh with internal scroll). It no longer contributes to the
measured height, so the thread layout stays put and the list overlays the
(already faded) chat. Still collapsible via the panel's own
disclosure header.
* fix(desktop): queue panel collapsed by default + shared border with composer
- Default the queue disclosure to collapsed (compact 'N queued' pill)
instead of expanded.
- Drop the gap and merge the panel into the composer: square bottom
corners, no bottom border/radius, and overlap down by the Root's pt-2
(-mb-2) so the panel's borderless bottom lands on the composer surface's
top border — one continuous bordered shape.
* style(desktop): tighten queue panel padding
* style(desktop): trim queue-ux comments to house style
* style(desktop): drop 'Cursor' references from comments
Slack's native-slash manifest hard-caps at 50 (_SLACK_MAX_SLASH_COMMANDS).
Adding the /version canonical claims a pass-1 slot, so the lowest-priority
pass-2 alias (/q for /quit) clamps off the end. /q stays reachable via
/hermes q. Surviving aliases (/btw /bg /reset) still prove alias parity.
The new IME repro test has two it() blocks but the desktop suite registers
no global testing-library auto-cleanup, so the first render() leaked its
editor into the second test and getByTestId('editor') matched two nodes.
Add afterEach(cleanup) so each case renders into a fresh DOM.
DOM repro that drives compositionstart -> input(preedit) -> compositionend with
no trailing input event and asserts the composer payload (send button) becomes
visible for committed CJK/IME input. Regression guard for #39614.
Typing committed multi-character IME text (e.g. Chinese "你好", and equally
Japanese/Korean or any IME-composed script) left the send button hidden until
an unrelated edit. Input events during composition carry uncommitted preedit
text and are intentionally skipped; the code assumed a trailing input event
after compositionend would deliver the finalized text, but Chromium does not
reliably emit one on Windows IMEs. The committed text therefore never reached
composer state, so `hasComposerPayload` stayed false and the send button stayed
hidden (deleting a char fired a non-composition input that finally synced it).
Flush the live editor text into composer state in onCompositionEnd. Extract the
shared sync into flushEditorToDraft so input and compositionend both update
state.
Fixes#39614
The salvaged helper exported serializeJsonBody but main.cjs still inline-built
the request body, leaving the export dead and the test decoupled from the real
path. Use it at the fetchJsonViaOauthSession site so the helper's coverage
exercises production body construction. Byte-identical output.
The error guard in _search_with_rg/_search_with_grep was unreachable and,
if it had fired, would have discarded valid results.
Two root causes:
1. Unreachable. Both methods pipe the search through `| head` with no
pipefail, so the pipeline reported head's exit code (0), masking rg/grep's
error code (2). The guard never fired. Worse, because _exec merges stderr
into stdout (stderr=subprocess.STDOUT), the error text was then parsed as
bogus match lines instead of being surfaced — the user got garbage matches
with no indication the search failed.
2. Latent results-dropping. The original `not result.stdout.strip()` check
was always False on error (error text lives in stdout), and the
`hasattr(result, 'stderr')` branch was dead code (ExecuteResult has no
stderr field). A naive broadening to `exit_code == 2` would have nuked
real matches whenever rg/grep also hit a non-fatal error (e.g. one
unreadable file in a tree that otherwise matched), which both tools signal
with exit 2.
Fix:
- Prefix the piped command with `set -o pipefail` so rg/grep's real exit
status propagates. rg exits 0 on a truncating head; grep exits 141
(SIGPIPE), so the strict `== 2` guard ignores truncated-success.
- Add _split_tool_diagnostics() to separate tool diagnostics from match
output by tool prefix and output shape. Diagnostics never become matches;
on a hard error they are the message to surface.
- Only surface an error when exit==2 AND no usable match payload remains, so
partial errors keep their real matches.
Tests: tests/tools/test_search_error_guard.py drives both methods through the
real local backend (hard error surfaced, partial error keeps matches,
truncation no false error, files_only/count exclude diagnostics) plus unit
coverage for the splitter.
Supersedes #39710.
The terminal `hermes model` wizard (_model_flow_named_custom) always
live-probed a custom provider's /models endpoint, ignoring the configured
`models:` list. For plans whose endpoint exposes a large catalog (e.g. Baidu
Qianfan Coding Plan returns 100+ models for a 2-3 model plan) the picker
flooded with models the user can't use.
This wires `discover_models` (and the `models:` list) through
_named_custom_provider_map into the flow and honors `discover_models: false`
the same way the slash-command picker (model_switch.py sections 3 & 4) does:
- Default stays True — live probe, no behaviour change.
- discover_models: false → use the configured `models:` list verbatim,
skip the probe (string 'false'/'no'/'0' normalised to False).
- If the probe is on but returns empty, fall back to the configured list
instead of forcing manual entry.
Closes#18726
Section 3 (user `providers:`) already honors `discover_models: false` to
skip live /models discovery and keep the explicit `models:` list. Section 4
(`custom_providers:` list) did not — `should_probe` ignored the field, so any
grouped custom provider with an api_key always had its configured subset
replaced by the full live /models catalog.
This adds the same `discover_models` support to section 4:
- Default True — no behaviour change for existing configs.
- `discover_models: false` keeps the explicit `models:` list even when an
api_key is present.
- String values ("false"/"no"/"0") are normalised to False, matching
section 3.
- If any entry in a grouped endpoint opts out, the whole group opts out.
Use case: endpoints that expose a full aggregator catalog via /models but
only serve a configured subset.
Salvaged from #29810 — rebased onto current main. The PR's other change
(`key_env` resolution in section 4) landed independently in commit aa283d1e4
(custom provider picker credential isolation), so only the discover_models
portion is carried here.

Follow-up to #39921. That PR scoped session.resume + prompt.submit to a
session's profile, but a BRAND-NEW chat (session.create) under a non-launch
profile was still built and persisted against the dashboard's launch profile.
Two visible symptoms in app-global remote mode (one dashboard, many profiles):
1. "who are you" in profile S replied as the launch (default) profile/agent —
the agent was built with the launch HERMES_HOME, so config/SOUL/identity
came from the wrong profile.
2. "session not found" on later resume — _ensure_session_db_row persisted the
row into the launch profile's state.db via _get_db(), so the session lived
in the wrong db, the unified list mis-tagged it (it showed up under BOTH
profiles), and resume routed to the wrong one.
Fix — carry the owning profile through the create path too:
- session.create accepts an optional `profile`; resolves its home and stores
`profile_home` on the session (alongside what resume already set).
- _start_agent_build binds that profile's HERMES_HOME while building the agent
(config/skills/model/identity resolve to it) and hands the agent the profile's
state.db so turns persist there.
- _ensure_session_db_row writes the row into the profile's state.db, not the
launch db — fixing the duplicate row + mis-tag + resume 404.
- desktop sends the new-chat profile on session.create.
None/launch profile → unchanged (single-profile and per-profile-remote setups
take the same path). Verified live against a one-dashboard / multi-profile
remote: a new chat under `work` builds as work's agent (correct SOUL identity),
persists ONLY to work's state.db (launch db stays empty), the unified list tags
it `work` exactly once, and it resumes cleanly.
tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: _make_agent mocks updated for the session_db
param added in #39921's build path.
Introduce a lightweight React context-based i18n layer for the desktop
app and translate the UI into Simplified Chinese.
- New apps/desktop/src/i18n module: typed Translations interface, en + zh
locale tables, I18nProvider/useI18n, localStorage-persisted locale
(defaults to English), and language endonym metadata for the picker.
- Wire I18nProvider at the app root in main.tsx.
- Refactor 24 desktop screens/components to read strings from the `t`
object instead of hard-coded English.
- Add a unit test for the i18n context.
* fix(desktop): cross-profile session history in app-global remote mode
#39894 made remote-profile sessions first-class for PER-PROFILE remote
overrides. But the common setup — Settings → Gateway → "All profiles" → Remote
— writes app-GLOBAL remote mode (connection.json top-level mode:'remote', empty
profiles map), which the intercept didn't recognize. Switching to a non-launch
profile then 404'd every session read, so no history showed for it.
In global remote mode a SINGLE backend serves every profile via ?profile= (it
reads each profile's state.db off the remote host's own disk — verified: one
dashboard returns /api/profiles and /api/profiles/sessions?profile=all across
all profiles). The fix: when no per-profile override matches but global remote
mode is active, route per-session reads/mutations to that one backend and KEEP
the ?profile= param so it opens the right state.db (instead of bailing to the
local path and dropping the profile scope).
- new globalRemoteActive() — true for connection.json mode:'remote' or the
HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL env override.
- per-session branch: per-profile override → route sans profile (own db);
global mode → route to the single backend WITH ?profile= preserved.
- unified list is unchanged in global mode: it already passes through to the one
backend, which aggregates all profiles natively.
Verified live against a one-dashboard / multi-profile remote (Austin's topology):
cross-profile transcript reads load (was 404), rename/delete route to the right
profile, unified list spans both profiles.
Known limitation (architectural, not fixed here): LIVE chat as a non-launch
profile still needs a per-profile dashboard on the remote — the dashboard binds
HERMES_HOME once at process start, so one global backend can't run an agent
turn as another profile. Session history/read/mutate now work regardless.
* fix(gateway): resume + chat any profile over one global-remote dashboard
The REST half of this branch made cross-profile session history visible in
app-global remote mode, but resume + chat still went over the WebSocket gateway,
which was hard-bound to the dashboard's launch profile. Resuming a non-launch
profile's session 404'd ("session not found") and sending spawned a new session
— because session.resume/prompt.submit had no profile concept and the live
agent + state.db were process-global to the launch profile's HERMES_HOME.
Make the WS gateway per-session profile-aware so ONE dashboard can serve every
local profile on its host (the app-global remote topology):
- session.resume accepts an optional `profile`. _profile_home() resolves that
profile's home on this host; resume opens THAT profile's state.db, binds its
HERMES_HOME (ContextVar override) while building the agent so config/skills/
model resolve to it, and passes the profile db to the agent so turns persist
to the right state.db. The owning profile_home is stored on the session.
- prompt.submit re-binds the stored profile_home for the turn thread (mid-turn
home reads — memory, skills — resolve to the resumed profile), reset in finally.
- _make_agent gains an optional session_db param (defaults to _get_db()).
- _load_cfg honors the home override (falls back to _hermes_home) so a resumed
profile loads its own config; cache keyed on resolved path.
- desktop: session.resume now sends the owning profile.
Omitted/launch profile → unchanged (single-profile and per-profile-remote setups
are byte-for-byte the same path). Verified live against a one-dashboard /
multi-profile remote: resuming a non-launch profile's session loads its history,
runs a real turn against THAT profile's home/env, and persists to its state.db.
tests/tui_gateway/test_protocol.py: _make_agent mocks updated for the new param.
Widens ViewWay's #20741 fix to the sibling config surface: a
custom_providers entry can pin its own output cap via max_output_tokens
(or max_tokens). _get_named_custom_provider now lifts it onto the
resolved runtime at all three return sites, and the gateway uses it as a
fallback only when the documented global model.max_tokens isn't set, so
the global key always wins.
Precedence: HERMES_MAX_TOKENS > model.max_tokens > provider
max_output_tokens > None. Closes the same #20741 truncation for users who
configure the cap per-provider rather than globally.
Picks up the intent of #19782 (alexcam1901), reimplemented to feed
ViewWay's max_tokens pipeline.
max_tokens set under model: in config.yaml was silently ignored.
The value was never read from config, never passed through
_resolve_runtime_agent_kwargs(), _resolve_turn_agent_config(),
or the session override path. Added it to all three code paths
so custom/Ollama endpoints receive the correct output cap.
Closes#20741
