Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback
Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.
# What this PR makes true
1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
eagerly pulling everything at install time.
# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py
- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
* hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
* hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
* cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
* gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log
# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py
- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
* tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
* plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
* tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
restores mistralai
# Installer fallback tiers
scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:
- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.
Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).
# Config
hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: [] (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True (security gate for ensure())
No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.
# Tests
tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant
tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command
Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.
# Validation
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py → 63/63 passing

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/ tests/tools/ →
9191 passed, 8 pre-existing failures (verified on origin/main
before this change)
- bash -n on install.sh and setup-hermes.sh → OK
- py_compile on all modified .py files → OK
- End-to-end smoke test of detect_compromised + render_doctor_section
+ gateway_log_message with mocked installed version → produces
copy-pasteable remediation output

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)
Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.
Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.
What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.
Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.
Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.
mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.
LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.
Validation:
- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
→ 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.
* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra
You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.
# What this commit fixes
1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
(the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.
2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
lock, optionally re-add to [all]).
3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.
# Defense-in-depth view
| Layer | Where | Protects against |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject | direct deps | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph | transitive worm injection |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate | every PR | drift between pyproject and lockfile |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime | cleanup for users who already got hit |
The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.
# Validation
- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
(test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.
* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)
* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)
Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.
Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts (default TTS but still optional)
New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].
New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.
Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.
Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).
Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules
Salvage of PR #8018 by @alt-glitch onto current main.
On sandbox teardown, FileSyncManager now downloads the remote .hermes/
directory, diffs against SHA-256 hashes of what was originally pushed,
and applies only changed files back to the host.
Core (tools/environments/file_sync.py):
- sync_back(): orchestrates download -> unpack -> diff -> apply with:
- Retry with exponential backoff (3 attempts, 2s/4s/8s)
- SIGINT trap + defer (prevents partial writes on Ctrl-C)
- fcntl.flock serialization (concurrent gateway sandboxes)
- Last-write-wins conflict resolution with warning
- New remote files pulled back via _infer_host_path prefix matching
Backends:
- SSH: _ssh_bulk_download — tar cf - piped over SSH
- Modal: _modal_bulk_download — exec tar cf - -> proc.stdout.read
- Daytona: _daytona_bulk_download — exec tar cf -> SDK download_file
- All three call sync_back() at the top of cleanup()
Fixes applied during salvage (vs original PR #8018):
| # | Issue | Fix |
|---|-------|-----|
| C1 | import fcntl unconditional — crashes Windows | try/except with fallback; _sync_back_locked skips locking when fcntl=None |
| W1 | assert for runtime guard (stripped by -O) | Replaced with proper if/raise RuntimeError |
| W2 | O(n*m) from _get_files_fn() called per file | Cache mapping once at start of _sync_back_impl, pass to resolve/infer |
| W3 | Dead BulkDownloadFn imports in 3 backends | Removed unused imports |
| W4 | Modal hardcodes root/.hermes, no explanation | Added docstring comment explaining Modal always runs as root |
| S1 | SHA-256 computed for new files where pushed_hash=None | Skip hashing when pushed_hash is None (comparison always False) |
| S2 | Daytona /tmp/.hermes_sync.tar never cleaned up | Added rm -f after download (best-effort) |
Tests: 49 passing (17 new: _infer_host_path edge cases, SIGINT
main/worker thread, Windows fcntl=None fallback, Daytona tar cleanup).
Based on #8018 by @alt-glitch.
* perf(ssh,modal): bulk file sync via tar pipe and tar/base64 archive
SSH: symlink-staging + tar -ch piped over SSH in a single TCP stream.
Eliminates per-file scp round-trips. Handles timeout (kills both
processes), SSH Popen failure (kills tar), and tar create failure.
Modal: in-memory gzipped tar archive, base64-encoded, decoded+extracted
in one exec call. Checks exit code and raises on failure.
Both backends use shared helpers extracted into file_sync.py:
- quoted_mkdir_command() — mirrors existing quoted_rm_command()
- unique_parent_dirs() — deduplicates parent dirs from file pairs
Migrates _ensure_remote_dirs to use the new helpers.
28 new tests (21 SSH + 7 Modal), all passing.
Closes#7465Closes#7467
* fix(modal): pipe stdin to avoid ARG_MAX, clean up review findings
- Modal bulk upload: stream base64 payload through proc.stdin in 1MB
chunks instead of embedding in command string (Modal SDK enforces
64KB ARG_MAX_BYTES — typical payloads are ~4.3MB)
- Modal single-file upload: same stdin fix, add exit code checking
- Remove what-narrating comments in ssh.py and modal.py (keep WHY
comments: symlink staging rationale, SIGPIPE, deadlock avoidance)
- Remove unnecessary `sandbox = self._sandbox` alias in modal bulk
- Daytona: use shared helpers (unique_parent_dirs, quoted_mkdir_command)
instead of inlined duplicates

Replace per-backend ad-hoc file sync with a shared FileSyncManager
that handles mtime-based change detection, remote deletion of
locally-removed files, and transactional state updates.
- New FileSyncManager class (tools/environments/file_sync.py)
with callbacks for upload/delete, rate limiting, and rollback
- Shared iter_sync_files() eliminates 3 duplicate implementations
- SSH: replace unconditional rsync with scp + mtime skip
- Modal/Daytona: replace inline _synced_files dict with manager
- All 3 backends now sync credentials + skills + cache uniformly
- Remote deletion: files removed locally are cleaned from remote
- HERMES_FORCE_FILE_SYNC=1 env var for debugging
- Base class _before_execute() simplified to empty hook
- 12 unit tests covering mtime skip, deletion, rollback, rate limiting
- Add .zip to SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES so gateway platforms (Telegram,
Slack, Discord) cache uploaded zip files instead of rejecting them.
- Add get_cache_directory_mounts() and iter_cache_files() to
credential_files.py for host-side cache directory passthrough
(documents, images, audio, screenshots).
- Docker: bind-mount cache dirs read-only alongside credentials/skills.
Changes are live (bind mount semantics).
- Modal: mount cache files at sandbox creation + resync before each
command via _sync_files() with mtime+size change detection.
- Handles backward-compat with legacy dir names (document_cache,
image_cache, audio_cache, browser_screenshots) via get_hermes_dir().
- Container paths always use the new cache/<subdir> layout regardless
of host layout.
This replaces the need for a dedicated extract_archive tool (PR #4819)
— the agent can now use standard terminal commands (unzip, tar) on
uploaded files inside remote containers.
Closes: related to PR #4819 by kshitijk4poor
Skills with scripts/, templates/, and references/ subdirectories need
those files available inside sandboxed execution environments. Previously
the skills directory was missing entirely from remote backends.
Live sync — files stay current as credentials refresh and skills update:
- Docker/Singularity: bind mounts are inherently live (host changes
visible immediately)
- Modal: _sync_files() runs before each command with mtime+size caching,
pushing only changed credential and skill files (~13μs no-op overhead)
- SSH: rsync --safe-links before each command (naturally incremental)
- Daytona: _upload_if_changed() with mtime+size caching before each command
Security — symlink filtering:
- Docker/Singularity: sanitized temp copy when symlinks detected
- Modal/Daytona: iter_skills_files() skips symlinks
- SSH: rsync --safe-links skips symlinks pointing outside source tree
- Temp dir cleanup via atexit + reuse across calls
Non-root user support:
- SSH: detects remote home via echo $HOME, syncs to $HOME/.hermes/
- Daytona: detects sandbox home before sync, uploads to $HOME/.hermes/
- Docker/Modal/Singularity: run as root, /root/.hermes/ is correct
Also:
- credential_files.py: fix name/path key fallback in required_credential_files
- Singularity, SSH, Daytona: gained credential file support
- 14 tests covering symlink filtering, name/path fallback, iter_skills_files
Two related fixes for remote terminal backends (Modal/Docker):
1. NEW: Credential file mounting system
Skills declare required_credential_files in frontmatter. Files are
mounted into Docker (read-only bind mounts) and Modal (mounts at
creation + sync via exec on each command for mid-session changes).
Google Workspace skill updated with the new field.
2. FIX: Docker backend now includes env_passthrough vars
Skills that declare required_environment_variables (e.g. Notion with
NOTION_API_KEY) register vars in the env_passthrough system. The
local backend checked this, but Docker's forward_env was a separate
disconnected list. Now Docker exec merges both sources, so
skill-declared env vars are forwarded into containers automatically.
This fixes the reported issue where NOTION_API_KEY in ~/.hermes/.env
wasn't reaching the Docker container despite being registered via
the Notion skill's prerequisites.
Closes#3665
Drop the swe-rex dependency for Modal terminal backend and use the
Modal SDK directly (Sandbox.create + Sandbox.exec). This fixes:
- AsyncUsageWarning from synchronous App.lookup() in async context
- DeprecationError from unencrypted_ports / .url on unencrypted tunnels
(deprecated 2026-03-05)
The new implementation:
- Uses modal.App.lookup.aio() for async-safe app creation
- Uses Sandbox.create.aio() with 'sleep infinity' entrypoint
- Uses Sandbox.exec.aio() for direct command execution (no HTTP server
or tunnel needed)
- Keeps all existing features: persistent filesystem snapshots,
configurable resources (CPU/memory/disk), sudo support, interrupt
handling, _AsyncWorker for event loop safety
Consistent with the Docker backend precedent (PR #2804) where we
removed mini-swe-agent in favor of direct docker run.
Files changed:
- tools/environments/modal.py - core rewrite
- tools/terminal_tool.py - health check: modal instead of swerex
- hermes_cli/setup.py - install modal instead of swe-rex[modal]
- pyproject.toml - modal extra: modal>=1.0.0 instead of swe-rex[modal]
- scripts/kill_modal.sh - grep for hermes-agent instead of swe-rex
- tests/ - updated for new implementation
- environments/README.md - updated patches section
- website/docs - updated install command
- add managed modal and gateway-backed tool integrations\n- improve CLI setup, auth, and configuration for subscriber flows\n- expand tests and docs for managed tool support
Drop the mini-swe-agent git submodule. All terminal backends now use
hermes-agent's own environment implementations directly.
Docker backend:
- Inline the `docker run -d` container startup (was 15 lines in
minisweagent's DockerEnvironment). Our wrapper already handled
execute(), cleanup(), security hardening, volumes, and resource limits.
Modal backend:
- Import swe-rex's ModalDeployment directly instead of going through
minisweagent's 90-line passthrough wrapper.
- Bake the _AsyncWorker pattern (from environments/patches.py) directly
into ModalEnvironment for Atropos compatibility without monkey-patching.
Cleanup:
- Remove minisweagent_path.py (submodule path resolution helper)
- Remove submodule init/install from install.sh and setup-hermes.sh
- Remove mini-swe-agent from .gitmodules
- environments/patches.py is now a no-op (kept for backward compat)
- terminal_tool.py no longer does sys.path hacking for minisweagent
- mini_swe_runner.py guards imports (optional, for RL training only)
- Update all affected tests to mock the new direct subprocess calls
- Update README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md
No functionality change — all Docker, Modal, local, SSH, Singularity,
and Daytona backends behave identically. 6093 tests pass.
Fixes discovered while running TBLite baseline evaluation:
1. ephemeral_disk param not supported in modal 1.3.5 - check before passing
2. Modal legacy image builder requires working pip - add ensurepip fix via
setup_dockerfile_commands to handle task images with broken pip
3. Host cwd leaked into Modal sandbox - add /home/ to host prefix check
4. Tilde ~ not expanded by subprocess.run(cwd=) in sandboxes - use /root
5. install_pipx must stay True for swerex-remote to be available
Dependencies also needed (not in this commit):
- git submodule update --init mini-swe-agent
- uv pip install swe-rex boto3
- Add max_concurrent_tasks config (default 8) with semaphore in TB2 eval
- Pass cwd: /app via register_task_env_overrides for TB2 tasks
- Add /home/ to host path prefixes as safety net for container backends
When all 86 TerminalBench2 tasks fire simultaneously, each creates a Modal sandbox
via asyncio.run() inside a thread pool worker. Modal's blocking calls deadlock
when too many are created at once. The semaphore ensures max 8 concurrent creations.
