Add a dedicated 'Pinning a skill' section that covers both gating
layers — curator auto-transitions AND the agent's skill_manage tool
— so users know what the flag actually protects against after
PR #17562. Updates the one-line claim in 'How it runs' to cross-link
the new section instead of only mentioning auto-transitions.
Skill catalog pages (bundled/optional) were drowning out real user-guide
and reference docs in search results. There are ~3100 of them and they
match on almost every generic term.
- Add `ignoreFiles` regexes to docusaurus-search-local for
`user-guide/skills/bundled/` and `user-guide/skills/optional/`.
The two human-written catalog indexes (`reference/skills-catalog`,
`reference/optional-skills-catalog`) remain indexed.
- Add a new feature page `user-guide/features/curator.md` covering the
curator subsystem merged in #16049 and refined in #17307 (per-run
reports): how it runs, config, CLI (`hermes curator status/run/pin/
restore/...`), `.usage.json` telemetry, archival semantics, and
recovery. Slotted into the Core features sidebar next to Skills.
Search index size dropped from 5822 docs to 2704 in the main section;
`user-guide/features/curator` is indexed.
Close integration gaps discovered by auditing qwen-oauth's file coverage.
These are surfaces the original salvage missed — they all existed on
main and were added in the 747 commits since PR #15203 was opened.
Coverage added:
- agent/credential_pool.py: seed pool from auth.json providers.minimax-oauth
so `hermes auth list` reflects logged-in state and
`hermes auth remove minimax-oauth <N>` works through the standard flow.
- agent/credential_sources.py: register RemovalStep for minimax-oauth
with suppression-aware `_clear_auth_store_provider`.
- agent/models_dev.py: PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV mapping (-> 'minimax' family).
- hermes_cli/providers.py: HermesOverlay entry (anthropic_messages transport,
oauth_external auth_type, api.minimax.io/anthropic base).
- hermes_cli/model_normalize.py: add to _MATCHING_PREFIX_STRIP_PROVIDERS so
`minimax-oauth/MiniMax-M2.7` in config.yaml gets correctly repaired.
- hermes_cli/status.py: render MiniMax OAuth block in `hermes doctor`
(logged-in / region / expires_at / error).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: register in OAUTH_PROVIDER_REGISTRY + dispatch
branch in _resolve_provider_status so the dashboard auth page shows it.
- website/docs/integrations/providers.md: full 'MiniMax (OAuth)' section.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: --provider enum.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: fallback table row.
- scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP: amanning3390 mapping (CI gate).
Add comprehensive documentation for the minimax-oauth provider.
New file: website/docs/guides/minimax-oauth.md
- Overview table (provider ID, auth type, models, endpoints)
- Quick start via 'hermes model'
- Manual login via 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth'
- --region global|cn flag reference
- The PKCE OAuth flow explained step-by-step
- hermes doctor output example
- Configuration reference (config.yaml shape, region table, aliases)
- Environment variables note: MINIMAX_API_KEY is NOT used by
minimax-oauth (OAuth path uses browser login)
- Models table with context length note
- Troubleshooting section: expired token, timeout, state mismatch,
headless/remote sessions, not logged in
- Logout command
Updated: website/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md
- Add MiniMax (OAuth) to provider picker table as the recommended
path for users who want MiniMax models without an API key
Updated: website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md
- Add 'minimax-oauth' to the auxiliary providers list
- Add MiniMax OAuth tip callout in the providers section
- Add minimax-oauth row to the provider table (auxiliary tasks)
- Add MiniMax OAuth config.yaml example in Common Setups
Updated: website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md
- Annotate MINIMAX_API_KEY, MINIMAX_BASE_URL, MINIMAX_CN_API_KEY,
MINIMAX_CN_BASE_URL as NOT used by minimax-oauth
- Add minimax-oauth to HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER allowed values
Adds Vercel Sandbox as a supported Hermes terminal backend alongside
existing providers (Local, Docker, Modal, SSH, Daytona, Singularity).
Uses the Vercel Python SDK to create/manage cloud microVMs, supports
snapshot-based filesystem persistence keyed by task_id, and integrates
with the existing BaseEnvironment shell contract and FileSyncManager
for credential/skill syncing.
Based on #17127 by @scotttrinh, cherry-picked onto current main.
Adds two API server endpoints for external UIs and orchestrators:
- GET /v1/capabilities — machine-readable feature discovery so clients
can detect which Runs API / SSE / auth features this Hermes version
supports before depending on them.
- GET /v1/runs/{run_id} — pollable run status so dashboards can check
queued/running/completed/failed/cancelled/stopping state without
holding an SSE connection open.
Also moves request validation ahead of run allocation so invalid
payloads no longer leave orphaned entries in _run_streams waiting for
the TTL sweep.
task_id is intentionally kept as "default" for the Runs API to
preserve the shared-sandbox model used by CLI, gateway, and the
existing _run_agent_with_callbacks path. session_id is surfaced in
run status for external-UI correlation only.
Salvage of PR #17085 by @Magaav.
QR-login connects an iLink bot identity (...@im.bot), not a scriptable
personal WeChat account. iLink typically does not deliver ordinary WeChat
group events to these bots, so WEIXIN_GROUP_POLICY / WEIXIN_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS
often have no effect regardless of value.
- Setup wizard: print iLink-bot caveat before the group-policy prompt; relabel
the allowlist input as 'group chat IDs (not member user IDs)'; note that
'open' / 'allowlist' only take effect if iLink delivers group events.
- Adapter: log a WARNING at connect() when WEIXIN_GROUP_POLICY is non-disabled
so the limitation is surfaced in gateway logs, not just docs.
- Docs: add a top-of-page warning callout to weixin.md explaining the iLink
bot identity, narrow the 'DM and group messaging' feature line to DM-only
with a group caveat, tighten the Group Policy section and troubleshooting
row, and clarify WEIXIN_GROUP_ALLOWED_USERS as group IDs (not user IDs)
in weixin.md and environment-variables.md.
Closes#17094
The previous docs pass (#17399) overstated what Anthropic OAuth works
with. In practice Hermes can only route against a Claude Max plan that
has purchased extra usage credits — the base Max allowance is not
consumed, and Claude Pro is not supported at all. Without Max + extra
credits, users must fall back to an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (pay-per-token).
Updates the four pages touched in #17399:
- integrations/providers.md
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md
- reference/environment-variables.md
- getting-started/quickstart.md
Users have been asking what they're billed for when they authenticate
Anthropic via OAuth in Hermes. Clarify in the provider docs that OAuth
routes through Anthropic's Claude Code subscription path — consuming
the extra Claude Code usage included with their Pro or Max plan — and
that an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is pay-per-token against that key's org
instead.
Touches:
- integrations/providers.md: new info admonition in Anthropic (Native)
section, plus provider-table row.
- user-guide/features/credential-pools.md: OAuth comment line.
- reference/environment-variables.md: Provider Auth (OAuth) intro.
- getting-started/quickstart.md: provider-picker table row.
Replace the removed built-in boot-md hook (#17093) with a how-to that
shows users how to wire up the same behavior themselves via the hooks
system. Uses _resolve_gateway_model() + _resolve_runtime_agent_kwargs()
so the example works against custom endpoints and OAuth providers,
not just the aggregator defaults that the old built-in silently assumed.

This PR groups the TUI fixes that restore macOS Terminal usability and clean up the theme/composer regressions:
- copy transcript selections on macOS drag-release so Terminal.app users can copy while mouse tracking is enabled
- copy composer selections on macOS drag-release; composer selection is internal to TextInput and does not use the global Ink selection bus
- keep IDE Cmd+C forwarding setup macOS-only, and make keybinding conflict checks respect simple when-clause overlap/negation
- force truecolor before chalk initializes (unless NO_COLOR / FORCE_COLOR / HERMES_TUI_TRUECOLOR opt-outs apply) so the default banner keeps its gold/amber/bronze gradient in Terminal.app
- move TUI surfaces onto semantic theme tokens and preserve skin prompt symbols as bare tokens with renderer-owned spacing
- render focused placeholders as dim hint text in TTY mode instead of inverse/selected-looking synthetic cursor text
* fix(nix): make extraPackages actually work — wire into per-user profile
#17030 deprecated extraPackages because it only set the systemd service
PATH, which the terminal backend's login-shell snapshot discards.
Instead of deprecating, fix it: set users.users.${cfg.user}.packages
so NixOS builds a per-user profile at /etc/profiles/per-user/hermes/bin.
This path is included in PATH by /etc/set-environment, which the login
shell sources, so the terminal backend's snapshot picks it up.
One line of actual logic:
users.users.${cfg.user}.packages = cfg.extraPackages;
Verified in a NixOS VM test: su - hermes -c 'which hello' resolves
to /etc/profiles/per-user/hermes/bin/hello.
Reverts the deprecation warning and docs changes from #17030, restores
extraPackages as the recommended way to give the agent extra tools.
Container mode is unaffected — extraPackages was always native-only
(the systemd path line is inside !cfg.container.enable).
* nix: clarify additive merge semantics for extraPackages user profile

BOOT.md was merged in PR #3733 before the feature was ready — the
built-in hook spawned a bare AIAgent() with no model/runtime kwargs,
which immediately 401s on any provider with a custom endpoint. Three
separate community PRs (#5240, #12514, #14992) tried to paper over it.
Remove the BOOT.md hook entirely and its user-facing docs/tips. Keep
the gateway/builtin_hooks/ package and the HookRegistry._register_builtin_hooks()
hook-point intact as the extension surface for future always-on
gateway hooks.
Closes#5239.

extraPackages adds packages to the systemd service PATH, but the
terminal backend's login-shell snapshot rebuilds PATH from NixOS system
profiles, so tools added via extraPackages are invisible to terminal
commands, skills, and cron jobs — the entire use case.
Changes:
- Mark the option description as deprecated with explanation
- Emit a NixOS warning when extraPackages is non-empty, including a
ready-to-paste environment.systemPackages replacement
- Update docs: quick-reference table, plugin example, and options
reference all point to environment.systemPackages
The option still functions (non-breaking) so existing configs keep
working while users migrate.
delegate_task runs inside the parent turn and is cancelled when the parent is interrupted (new user message, /stop, /new). The child status payload (status=interrupted, exit_reason=interrupted) is already honest, but the tool schema and user-facing docs did not set the expectation, so users reasonably assumed delegated subagents would keep running in the background after interrupting the parent.
Updates:
- tools/delegate_tool.py DELEGATE_TASK_SCHEMA description adds a WHEN NOT TO USE bullet pointing at cronjob / terminal(background=True, notify_on_complete=True) for durable long-running work.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/delegation.md gains a Lifetime and Durability callout above Key Properties.
- website/docs/guides/delegation-patterns.md expands the Use something else list and the Constraints section with the same guidance.

Salvaged from PR #16860 onto current main (resolved conflicts with
#16935 Azure Anthropic env-var hint tests and the --provider choices=
list removal in chat_parser).
Three related fixes around custom env-var-name hints for provider entries.
1. Azure Anthropic path: previously hardcoded to look up AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY
then ANTHROPIC_API_KEY with no way to override. If a user wrote
model:
provider: anthropic
base_url: https://my-resource.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic
key_env: MY_CUSTOM_KEY
the key_env hint was silently ignored and the resolver raised
'No Azure Anthropic API key found' even when MY_CUSTOM_KEY was set
in the environment. The runtime now checks, in order:
(1) os.getenv(model_cfg.key_env)
(2) os.getenv(model_cfg.api_key_env) # docs alias
(3) model_cfg.api_key # inline value
(4) AZURE_ANTHROPIC_KEY # historical default
(5) ANTHROPIC_API_KEY # historical default
Error message updated to mention key_env as an option.
2. Provider entry normalizer (_normalize_custom_provider_entry): accept
'api_key_env' as a snake_case alias for 'key_env', and 'apiKeyEnv' as a
camelCase alias. Adds both to the _KNOWN_KEYS set so the 'unknown
config keys ignored' warning doesn't fire on valid configs.
3. _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS: add 'key_env'. That set documents
supported custom_providers entry fields; it was drifting from reality
since key_env has been read at runtime in auxiliary_client.py,
runtime_provider.py, and main.py for a while.
Docs: website/docs/guides/azure-foundry.md now uses the canonical key_env
field and notes that api_key_env / keyEnv / apiKeyEnv are accepted as
aliases.
Validation: 12 new tests in test_runtime_provider_resolution.py covering
all 5 Azure Anthropic resolution paths + 4 normalizer-alias tests. Pass
rate across related suites (165 + 46 tests): 100%.

* feat(claw-migrate): harden OpenClaw import with plan-first apply, redaction, and pre-migration backup
Adopts four design patterns from OpenClaw's reciprocal migrate-hermes
importer so both migration paths have the same safety posture.
- **Refuse-on-conflict apply.** 'hermes claw migrate' now refuses to
execute when the plan has any conflict items, unless --overwrite is
set. Previously the user could say 'yes, proceed' and end up with a
silent partial migration that skipped every conflicting item.
- **Engine-level secret redaction.** The report.json and summary.md
written to disk (and --json stdout) run through a redactor that
matches OpenClaw's key-name markers and value-shape patterns
(sk-*, ghp_*, xox*-, AIza*, Bearer *). Prevents accidental API key
leakage in bug reports and support channels.
- **Pre-migration tarball snapshot.** Apply creates one timestamped
restore-point archive of ~/.hermes/ at ~/.hermes/migration/pre-migration-backups/
before any mutation, excluding regenerable directories
(sessions, logs, cache). Opt out with --no-backup.
- **Blocked-by-earlier-conflict sequencing.** If a config.yaml write
hits conflict/error mid-apply, subsequent config-mutating options
are marked skipped with reason 'blocked by earlier apply conflict'
rather than attempting partial writes.
- **Structured warnings[] and next_steps[] on the report** — actionable
guidance surfaces in both JSON output and summary.md.
- **--json output mode** — emits the redacted report on stdout for CI.
Also flips --preset full to NOT auto-enable --migrate-secrets. Users
now have to opt in to secret import explicitly, mirroring OpenClaw's
two-phase posture.
Status/kind/action constants are defined (STATUS_MIGRATED etc) with
values that match the existing strings the script emits, so the
report schema is backward-compatible. ItemResult gains a 'sensitive'
bool field that redaction and consumers can key off.
Validation: 26 new unit tests + 1 updated test in tests/skills/
test_openclaw_migration_hardening.py and test_claw.py cover redaction
(key markers, value patterns, recursion, on-disk), warnings/next_steps,
blocked-by-earlier sequencing, --json mode, and the preset-flip.
Manual E2E against a fake $HERMES_HOME with real-shaped secrets
confirmed: (1) secrets never appear in stdout or on disk,
(2) _cmd_migrate refuses apply when plan has conflicts,
(3) --overwrite proceeds past the guard and the backup tarball is
created, (4) --no-backup skips the archive.
Related docs: website/docs/guides/migrate-from-openclaw.md and
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md updated to reflect the
preset-flip and new --no-backup flag.
* refactor(claw-migrate): reuse hermes backup system for pre-migration snapshot
Drops the inline tarball in hermes_cli/claw.py in favor of
hermes_cli.backup.create_pre_migration_backup(), which shares an
implementation with create_pre_update_backup via a new
_write_full_zip_backup helper. Benefits:
- Consistent exclusion rules with hermes backup (_EXCLUDED_DIRS,
_EXCLUDED_SUFFIXES, _EXCLUDED_NAMES — single source of truth).
- SQLite safe-copy via _safe_copy_db (state.db restores cleanly).
- Zip format restorable with 'hermes import <archive>'.
- Lives under ~/.hermes/backups/pre-migration-*.zip alongside
pre-update-*.zip — one place for all snapshot archives.
- Auto-prune rotation with separate keep counters (pre-migration
keeps 5, pre-update keeps 5, they don't touch each other's files).
7 new tests in tests/hermes_cli/test_backup.py lock the contract:
directory location, shared exclusion rules, _validate_backup_zip
acceptance (i.e. restorable with 'hermes import'), non-recursive
into prior backups, rotation, missing-home handling, and the
invariant that pre-migration rotation never touches pre-update
backups.
Help text and docs updated — the restore hint now says
'hermes import <name>' instead of 'tar -xzf <archive> -C ~/'.
* chore(claw-migrate): use backup._format_size and drop duplicate output line
Minor polish using another existing primitive from hermes_cli.backup:
- Show backup archive size with _format_size (e.g. '(245 B)' or '(2.4 MB)')
matching the format hermes backup already uses.
- Drop the duplicate 'Pre-migration backup saved' line after Migration
Results — the earlier 'Pre-migration backup: <path> (<size>)' line
already surfaces the path before apply runs.

Background macOS desktop control via cua-driver MCP — does NOT steal the
user's cursor or keyboard focus, works with any tool-capable model.
Replaces the Anthropic-native `computer_20251124` approach from the
abandoned #4562 with a generic OpenAI function-calling schema plus SOM
(set-of-mark) captures so Claude, GPT, Gemini, and open models can all
drive the desktop via numbered element indices.
- `tools/computer_use/` package — swappable ComputerUseBackend ABC +
CuaDriverBackend (stdio MCP client to trycua/cua's cua-driver binary).
- Universal `computer_use` tool with one schema for all providers.
Actions: capture (som/vision/ax), click, double_click, right_click,
middle_click, drag, scroll, type, key, wait, list_apps, focus_app.
- Multimodal tool-result envelope (`_multimodal=True`, OpenAI-style
`content: [text, image_url]` parts) that flows through
handle_function_call into the tool message. Anthropic adapter converts
into native `tool_result` image blocks; OpenAI-compatible providers
get the parts list directly.
- Image eviction in convert_messages_to_anthropic: only the 3 most
recent screenshots carry real image data; older ones become text
placeholders to cap per-turn token cost.
- Context compressor image pruning: old multimodal tool results have
their image parts stripped instead of being skipped.
- Image-aware token estimation: each image counts as a flat 1500 tokens
instead of its base64 char length (~1MB would have registered as
~250K tokens before).
- COMPUTER_USE_GUIDANCE system-prompt block — injected when the toolset
is active.
- Session DB persistence strips base64 from multimodal tool messages.
- Trajectory saver normalises multimodal messages to text-only.
- `hermes tools` post-setup installs cua-driver via the upstream script
and prints permission-grant instructions.
- CLI approval callback wired so destructive computer_use actions go
through the same prompt_toolkit approval dialog as terminal commands.
- Hard safety guards at the tool level: blocked type patterns
(curl|bash, sudo rm -rf, fork bomb), blocked key combos (empty trash,
force delete, lock screen, log out).
- Skill `apple/macos-computer-use/SKILL.md` — universal (model-agnostic)
workflow guide.
- Docs: `user-guide/features/computer-use.md` plus reference catalog
entries.
44 new tests in tests/tools/test_computer_use.py covering schema
shape (universal, not Anthropic-native), dispatch routing, safety
guards, multimodal envelope, Anthropic adapter conversion, screenshot
eviction, context compressor pruning, image-aware token estimation,
run_agent helpers, and universality guarantees.
469/469 pass across tests/tools/test_computer_use.py + the affected
agent/ test suites.
- `model_tools.py` provider-gating: the tool is available to every
provider. Providers without multi-part tool message support will see
text-only tool results (graceful degradation via `text_summary`).
- Anthropic server-side `clear_tool_uses_20250919` — deferred;
client-side eviction + compressor pruning cover the same cost ceiling
without a beta header.
- macOS only. cua-driver uses private SkyLight SPIs
(SLEventPostToPid, SLPSPostEventRecordTo,
_AXObserverAddNotificationAndCheckRemote) that can break on any macOS
update. Pin with HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_VERSION.
- Requires Accessibility + Screen Recording permissions — the post-setup
prints the Settings path.
Supersedes PR #4562 (pyautogui/Quartz foreground backend, Anthropic-
native schema). Credit @0xbyt4 for the original #3816 groundwork whose
context/eviction/token design is preserved here in generic form.
Follow-up to the salvaged PR #16867 that added the read path for
agent.disabled_toolsets in _get_platform_tools():
- Document the new config key under a "Global Toolset Disable" section
in website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md, including the precedence
note (global disable overrides per-platform platform_toolsets).
- Map nazirulhafiy@gmail.com -> nazirulhafiy in scripts/release.py
AUTHOR_MAP so release-notes CI attributes the cherry-picked commit.
Flips security.redact_secrets from true to false in DEFAULT_CONFIG, and
the HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS env-var fallback in agent/redact.py now
requires explicit opt-in ("1"/"true"/"yes"/"on") to enable.
New installs and users without a security.redact_secrets key get pass-
through tool output. Existing users whose config.yaml explicitly sets
redact_secrets: true keep redaction on — the config-yaml -> env-var
bridges in hermes_cli/main.py and gateway/run.py still honor their
setting.
Also updates the inline config comments, website docs, and the
hermes-agent skill so /hermes config set security.redact_secrets true
is now the documented way to turn it on.
Plugins can now observe dangerous-command approval events in real time,
on both the CLI-interactive path and the async gateway path. This is the
missing hook surface external tools need to build approval notifiers
(macOS menu-bar allow/deny, Slack alerts, audit logs, etc.) without
forking Hermes or running a parallel gateway adapter.
Changes:
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add two entries to VALID_HOOKS
- tools/approval.py: fire both hooks from check_all_command_guards --
around prompt_dangerous_approval (CLI surface) and around the
notify_cb + blocking event.wait loop (gateway surface)
- website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md: document both hooks with
a macOS-notification example
- tests/tools/test_approval_plugin_hooks.py: 5 tests covering CLI once,
CLI deny, plugin-crash resilience, gateway approve, gateway timeout
Hooks are observer-only: return values are ignored, so plugins cannot
veto or pre-answer an approval (use pre_tool_call for that). A crashing
plugin cannot break the approval flow -- invoke_hook swallows per-
callback errors, and the wrapper logs and swallows dispatch-layer
errors too.
Surface kwarg distinguishes "cli" from "gateway"; post hook reports
choice as one of once/session/always/deny/timeout.
The previous commit on this branch went through a layer that redacted
strings matching API-key patterns. Restore the original placeholder
values (sk-ant-..., ${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}, etc.) that were already in
main so the diff is scoped strictly to the new Multi-profile support
section.
Clarifies that Hermes' built-in multi-profile feature is not recommended
when running under Docker. Recommends instead running one container per
profile, each bind-mounting its own host data directory as /opt/data.
Includes docker run examples, a rationale list (isolation, independent
lifecycle, port separation, concurrent-write safety), and a Compose
snippet showing two profile services side by side.
* feat(nix): parameterize dependency-groups in python.nix
* refactor(nix): extract package to callPackage-able hermes-agent.nix
Makes the package overridable via .override{} and adds
extraPythonPackages parameter for PYTHONPATH injection.
Includes build-time collision check using PEP 503 name
canonicalization.
* feat(nix): add overlay for external NixOS consumption
External flakes can now add overlays = [ inputs.hermes-agent.overlays.default ]
to get pkgs.hermes-agent with full .override support.
* test(nix): add check for extraPythonPackages PYTHONPATH injection
Verifies wrapper has PYTHONPATH when extras provided, and
base package has no PYTHONPATH without extras.
* feat(nix): add extraPlugins option for directory-based plugins
Symlinks plugin packages into HERMES_HOME/plugins/ at activation time.
Validates plugin.yaml presence. Asserts unique plugin names at eval time.
Hermes discovers them automatically via its directory scan.
* feat(nix): add extraPythonPackages option for entry-point plugins
Overrides the hermes package with PYTHONPATH injection when
extraPythonPackages is non-empty. Plugin .dist-info directories
become visible to importlib.metadata for entry-point discovery.
Works in both native systemd and container modes.
* docs: add NixOS declarative plugin installation to nix-setup, plugins, and build-a-plugin guides
- nix-setup.md: new Plugins section with extraPlugins/extraPythonPackages
examples, overlay usage, collision checking note, options reference rows
- plugins.md: Nix row in discovery table, NixOS declarative plugins section
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md: Distribute for NixOS section after pip section
* fix: address review feedback — remove unrelated umask, fix fetchFromGitHub naming, simplify checks
- Remove accidentally introduced umask/migration changes (unrelated to plugins)
- Add pluginName helper, fix fetchFromGitHub producing name='source'
- Show name= in extraPlugins example docs
- Simplify checks.nix: use hermes-agent.override instead of re-callPackage
- Fix fragile grep shell logic in checks
* refactor: address simplify feedback — lib.getName, drop unused inputs', Python list for extras
- Use lib.getName instead of custom pluginName helper
- Drop unused inputs' from checks.nix perSystem args
- Pass extraPythonPackages as Python list literal instead of colon-split string
* fix: walk propagatedBuildInputs for plugin PYTHONPATH and collision check
Uses python312.pkgs.requiredPythonModules to resolve the full transitive
closure of extraPythonPackages. Without this, a plugin with third-party
deps (e.g. requests) would fail at runtime if those deps weren't already
in the sealed uv2nix venv. The collision check now also scans the full
closure, catching transitive conflicts.
* cleanup: fold plugins into subdir loop, use find for symlink cleanup, inline lib.getName
- Add 'plugins' to the existing cron/sessions/logs/memories subdir loop
instead of a separate mkdir/chown/chmod block
- Replace fragile for-glob with find -delete for stale symlink cleanup
- Inline lib.getName at both call sites, remove pluginName wrapper
- config.py: remove dead ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION[17] entry (current _config_version
is 22, so all users are past version 17 and would never be prompted for
GMI_API_KEY on upgrade — consistent with how arcee was added)
- auxiliary_client.py: use google/gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview as GMI aux
model instead of anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 (matches cheap fast-model pattern
used by all other providers: zai→glm-4.5-flash, kimi→kimi-k2-turbo-preview,
stepfun→step-3.5-flash, kilocode→google/gemini-3-flash-preview)
- test_gmi_provider.py: fix malformed write_text() call in doctor test
(was: write_text("GMI_API_KEY=*** encoding="utf-8") → missing closing quote,
wrote literal string 'GMI_API_KEY=*** encoding=' to .env file)
- test_gmi_provider.py + test_auxiliary_client.py: update aux model assertions
to match new cheaper default
- docs/integrations/providers.md: add 'gmi' to inline 'Supported providers'
fallback list (was only in the table, not the inline list at line ~1181)
- docs/reference/cli-commands.md: add 'gmi' to --provider choices list
Defensive: when the generator encounters a fenced code block containing
Unicode box-drawing characters, wrap it in `<!-- ascii-guard-ignore -->`
markers so the docs-site-checks lint (which scans inside code fences)
can't reject the page for a skill's own diagram.
Plain bash/python code blocks stay uncluttered — only blocks with box
chars get wrapped. Skill authors no longer have to remember to add the
ignore markers in every SKILL.md with ASCII art.
Fixes#15305.
Azure Foundry deploys GPT-5.x, codex-*, and o1/o3/o4 reasoning models as
Responses-API-only. Calling /chat/completions against these deployments
returns 400 'The requested operation is unsupported.', which broke any
user who ran 'hermes model' on Azure, picked a gpt-5/codex deployment,
and kept the default api_mode: chat_completions. Verified in a user
debug bundle on 2026-04-26: gpt-5.3-codex failed on synopsisse.openai.azure.com
with that exact payload while gpt-4o-pure on the same endpoint worked.
Adds azure_foundry_model_api_mode(model_name) that returns
codex_responses when the model name starts with gpt-5, codex, o1, o3,
or o4 — otherwise None so chat_completions / anthropic_messages stay
untouched for gpt-4o, Llama, Claude-via-Anthropic, etc.
Resolver (both the direct Azure Foundry path and the pool-entry path)
consults it and upgrades api_mode unless the user explicitly picked
anthropic_messages. target_model (from /model mid-session switch)
takes precedence over the persisted default so switching from gpt-4o
to gpt-5.3-codex routes correctly before the next request.
Docs: correct the azure-foundry guide which previously claimed Azure
keeps gpt-5.x on chat completions — that was only true for early Azure
OpenAI, not Azure Foundry codex/o-series deployments.
Tests: 14 unit tests for azure_foundry_model_api_mode + 6 integration
tests in TestAzureFoundryResolution covering Bob's exact scenario,
target_model override, anthropic_messages guard, and o3-mini.
Follow-up to #16323 — the UrlSource adapter is shipped but four
user-facing docs surfaces still only listed the hub-identifier forms.
- user-guide/features/skills.md: add ``url`` to the Supported-hub-sources
table; add a new "#### 8. Direct URL (`url`)" section explaining scope
(single-file SKILL.md only), name-resolution order (frontmatter → URL
slug → interactive prompt → --name flag), and both TTY and
non-interactive usage. Add two URL examples to the install-examples
block near the top of the page.
- reference/cli-commands.md: two URL install examples + one note
explaining the name-resolution fallback chain.
- guides/work-with-skills.md: one URL-install example alongside the
existing hub-identifier examples.
- skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md: Quick Reference
block's ``hermes skills install`` line now spells out that ID can be
a hub identifier OR a direct SKILL.md URL, and mentions --name for
frontmatter-less skills.
No code changes. No new dependencies. Website builds via the usual
Docusaurus pipeline.

Every working dir hermes ever touches gets its own shadow git repo under
~/.hermes/checkpoints/{sha256(abs_dir)[:16]}/. The per-repo _prune is a
no-op (comment in CheckpointManager._prune says so), so abandoned repos
from deleted/moved projects or one-off tmp dirs pile up forever. Field
reports put the typical offender at 1000+ repos / ~12 GB on active
contributor machines.
Adds an opt-in startup sweep that mirrors the sessions.auto_prune
pattern from #13861 / #16286:
- tools/checkpoint_manager.py: new prune_checkpoints() and
maybe_auto_prune_checkpoints() helpers. Deletes shadow repos that
are orphan (HERMES_WORKDIR marker points to a path that no longer
exists) or stale (newest in-repo mtime older than retention_days).
Idempotent via a CHECKPOINT_BASE/.last_prune marker file so it only
runs once per min_interval_hours regardless of how many hermes
processes start up.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new checkpoints.auto_prune /
retention_days / delete_orphans / min_interval_hours knobs.
Default auto_prune: false so users who rely on /rollback against
long-ago sessions never lose data silently.
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: startup hooks gated on checkpoints.auto_prune,
called right next to the existing state.db maintenance block.
- Docs updated with the new config knobs.
- 11 regression tests: orphan/stale deletion, precedence, byte-freed
tracking, non-shadow dir skip, interval gating, corrupt marker
recovery.
Refs #3015 (session-file disk growth was fixed in #16286; this covers
the checkpoint side noted out-of-scope there).
Expand the airtable skill from bare CRUD to a full Hermes-shaped
cookbook matching the linear/notion neighbors, and trim the
description to fit the 60-char system-prompt cutoff.
Hermes-specific additions:
- Explicit 'use the terminal tool with curl — not web_extract or
browser_navigate' guidance, matching the same note in linear.
- Note that AIRTABLE_API_KEY flows from ~/.hermes/.env into the
subprocess automatically via env_passthrough, so curl calls don't
need to re-export it.
- Prefer 'python3 -m json.tool' (always present) over jq (optional)
for pretty-printing, with -s on every curl to keep output clean.
- Read-before-write workflow that resolves record IDs via
filterByFormula instead of guessing.
Cookbook expansion (new vs original):
- Field-type reference table (text, select, multi-select, attachment,
linked record, user) with the exact write-shape Airtable expects.
- typecast flag for auto-coercing values / auto-creating select options.
- performUpsert PATCH for idempotent sync by merge field.
- Batch create/delete endpoints (10-record cap per call).
- Sort + fields query params with URL-encoding (%5B / %5D).
- Named-view query that applies saved filter/sort server-side.
- Full pagination loop template (while loop with offset).
- Common filterByFormula patterns (exact match, contains, AND/OR,
date comparison, NOT empty).
- Rate-limit backoff guidance (Retry-After header, per-base budget).
- Airtable error-code reference (AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED,
INVALID_PERMISSIONS, MODEL_ID_NOT_FOUND,
INVALID_MULTIPLE_CHOICE_OPTIONS) so the agent can map failures to
user-actionable fixes instead of just retrying.
Also: description trimmed from 183 chars (truncated to 60 in system
prompt, losing 'filter/upsert/delete' trigger terms) down to 59 chars
that render whole: 'Airtable REST API via curl. Records CRUD, filters,
upserts.' Catalog row updated to match.
SKILL.md grew from 115 to 228 lines — still under the 500-line soft
cap and below the linear skill (297 lines) which serves the same
role for GraphQL.
- scripts/release.py: map sonoyuncudmr@gmail.com -> Sonoyunchu so the
check-attribution CI job and release notes credit Soynchu correctly.
- website/docs/reference/skills-catalog.md: add the airtable row to
the productivity bundled-skills table.
Extends the existing channel_skill_bindings mechanism (previously
Discord-only) to Slack, so a channel or DM can auto-load one or more
skills at session start without relying on the model's skill selector
for every short reply.
Motivation: Mats's German flashcards DM pushes a cron-driven card
5x/day; he responds with one-word guesses like 'work'. Previously each
reply required the main agent to decide whether to load german-flashcards
(full opus turn just to pick a skill). With the binding configured per
Slack channel, the skill is injected at session start and grading runs
directly.
Changes:
- Extract resolve_channel_skills() from DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills
into gateway.platforms.base (now shared across adapters).
- DiscordAdapter._resolve_channel_skills delegates to the shared helper
(behavior preserved — existing test suite still passes unchanged).
- SlackAdapter: resolve channel_skill_bindings on each message and attach
auto_skill to MessageEvent. gateway/run.py already handles auto-skill
injection on new sessions; this just wires Slack through it.
- gateway/config.py: accept channel_skill_bindings in slack: block of
config.yaml (was Discord-only).
- Tests: new tests/gateway/test_slack_channel_skills.py with 11 cases
covering DM/thread/parent resolution, single-vs-list skills, dedup,
malformed entries. Discord suite unchanged.
- Docs: add 'Per-Channel Skill Bindings' section to Slack user guide.
Config example:
slack:
channel_skill_bindings:
- id: "D0ATH9TQ0G6"
skills: ["german-flashcards"]
Enter while the agent is busy can now inject the typed text via /steer —
arriving at the agent after the next tool call — instead of interrupting
(current default) or queueing for the next turn.
Changes:
- cli.py: keybinding honors busy_input_mode='steer' by calling
agent.steer(text) on the UI thread (thread-safe), with automatic
fallback to 'queue' when the agent is missing, steer() is unavailable,
images are attached, or steer() rejects the payload. /busy accepts
'steer' as a fourth argument alongside queue/interrupt/status.
- gateway/run.py: busy-message handler and the PRIORITY running-agent
path both route through running_agent.steer() when the mode is 'steer',
with the same fallback-to-queue safety net. Ack wording tells users
their message was steered into the current run. Restart-drain queueing
now also activates for 'steer' so messages aren't lost across restarts.
- agent/onboarding.py: first-touch hint has a steer branch for both
CLI and gateway.
- hermes_cli/commands.py: /busy args_hint updated to include steer,
and 'steer' is registered as a subcommand (completions).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: dashboard select widget offers steer.
- hermes_cli/config.py, cli-config.yaml.example, hermes_cli/tips.py:
inline docs updated.
- website/docs/user-guide/cli.md + messaging/index.md: documented.
- Tests: steer set/status path for /busy; onboarding hints;
_load_busy_input_mode accepts steer; busy-session ack exercises
steer success + two fallback-to-queue branches.
Requested on X by @CodingAcct.
Default is unchanged (interrupt).
Ports openclaw/openclaw#72038 to hermes-agent.
Telegram's `editMessageText` preserves the original message timestamp,
so a long-running streamed reply (reasoning models that take 60+ seconds
to finish) would keep the first-token timestamp even after completion.
Users can't tell how long a task actually took.
When a preview message has been visible for >= 60s (configurable via
`streaming.fresh_final_after_seconds`), finalize by sending a fresh
message instead of editing in place, then best-effort delete the stale
preview. Short previews still edit in place (the existing fast path).
Implementation notes adapted from OpenClaw's TypeScript original:
- `StreamConsumerConfig` gains `fresh_final_after_seconds` (default 0 =
legacy edit-in-place). Gateway-level `StreamingConfig` defaults to 60.
- `GatewayStreamConsumer` tracks `_message_created_ts` at first-send and
checks it in `_send_or_edit` on `finalize=True`. New helpers
`_should_send_fresh_final` + `_try_fresh_final`.
- `BasePlatformAdapter` gains optional `delete_message(chat_id, message_id)`
returning False by default. `TelegramAdapter` implements it via
`_bot.delete_message`.
- `gateway/run.py` only enables fresh-final for `Platform.TELEGRAM`;
other platforms ignore the setting (they don't have the stale-edit
timestamp problem or edit-then-read works cheaply).
- Fallback to normal edit on any fresh-send failure — no user-visible
regression if Telegram rate-limits a send or the message is gone.
Tests: 15 new cases in tests/gateway/test_stream_consumer_fresh_final.py
covering short/long previews, config plumbing, delete-support absent,
send-failure fallback, __no_edit__ sentinel safety, and StreamingConfig
round-trip.

Translate Slack attachment failures into actionable user-facing notices
instead of generic download errors. When a scope/auth/permission issue
breaks attachment processing, the user sees:
[Slack attachment notice]
- Slack attachment access failed for photo.jpg. Missing scope:
files:read. Update the Slack app scopes/settings and reinstall
the app to the workspace.
Two helpers do the translation:
_describe_slack_api_error — handles SlackApiError responses
(missing_scope, invalid_auth, file_not_found, access_denied, etc.)
_describe_slack_download_failure — handles httpx.HTTPStatusError
(401/403/404) and Slack-returns-HTML-sign-in fallbacks
Wired into three existing call sites:
- the Slack Connect files.info path (PR #11111) so scope errors
surface instead of being logged as generic "files.info failed"
- the image, audio, and document download paths so 401/403 and
HTML-body responses translate into actionable notices
Adjustment from original PR: dropped _probe_slack_file_access_issue,
the proactive pre-download files.info probe. It added one extra
Slack API call per attachment even on healthy ones, and overlapped
with the existing files.info call from PR #11111. The post-failure
translation path covers the same user-facing diagnostic value
without the per-message tax.
Also documents files:read scope more prominently in the Slack setup
guide and troubleshooting table.

Removes deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro and deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash from
OPENROUTER_MODELS and _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous'], then regenerates
website/static/api/model-catalog.json so the hosted picker JSON drops
them too. Direct-API deepseek provider support is unchanged.
Before: delegate_task children each allocated their own terminal
sandbox keyed by child task_id. Starting extra containers (or Modal
sandboxes / Daytona workspaces) is expensive, and the subagent's work
is invisible to the parent — files written by the child in its
container don't exist in the parent's when the subagent returns.
After: a single `_resolve_container_task_id` helper maps any
tool-call task_id to "default" UNLESS an env override is registered
for it. The parent agent and all delegate_task children therefore
share one long-lived sandbox — installed packages, cwd, /workspace
files, and /tmp scratch carry over freely between them.
RL and benchmark environments (TerminalBench2, HermesSweEnv, ...)
opt in to isolation via `register_task_env_overrides(task_id, {...})`;
those task_ids survive the collapse and get their own sandbox,
preserving the per-task Docker image behavior these benchmarks rely on.
file_state / active-subagents registry / TUI events still key off the
original child task_id, so the 'subagent wrote a file the parent read'
warning and UI per-subagent panels keep working.
Tradeoff: parallel delegate_task children (tasks=[...]) now share one
bash/container. Concurrent cd, env-var mutations, and writes to the
same path will collide. If that bites a specific workflow, the
subagent can opt back into isolation via register_task_env_overrides.
Applied at four lookup sites:
- tools/terminal_tool.py terminal_tool() and get_active_env()
- tools/file_tools.py _get_file_ops() and _get_live_tracking_cwd()
- tools/code_execution_tool.py _get_or_create_environment()
Docs: website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md updated to reflect the
shared-container reality and document the RL/benchmark carve-out.
Tests: tests/tools/test_shared_container_task_id.py (9 cases).
Every command in COMMAND_REGISTRY (/btw, /stop, /model, /help, /new,
/bg, /reset, ...) is now a first-class Slack slash command instead of
a /hermes <subcommand>. Users get the same autocomplete-driven slash
picker experience Slack users expect and that Discord and Telegram
already provide.
Previously Slack registered ONE native slash (/hermes) and split on
the first word, so typing /btw in Slack's composer got 'couldn't find
an app for /btw' because the workspace manifest never declared it.
Changes
- hermes_cli/commands.py: slack_native_slashes() + slack_app_manifest()
generate a Slack manifest from the registry (canonical names +
aliases + plugin commands), clamped to Slack's 50-slash cap with
/hermes reserved as the catch-all.
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: single regex matcher dispatches every
registered slash to _handle_slash_command, which dispatches on
command['command']. Legacy /hermes <subcommand> keeps working for
backward compat with older workspace manifests.
- hermes_cli/slack_cli.py + hermes_cli/main.py: new 'hermes slack
manifest' command prints/writes a full manifest (display info,
OAuth scopes, event subs, socket mode, slash commands) ready to
paste into 'Create from manifest' or Features → App Manifest.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: _setup_slack() now writes the manifest up-front
and points users at the 'From an app manifest' flow; also offers
to refresh the manifest on reconfigure for picking up new commands.
- Tests: 14 new tests covering native-slash dispatch (/btw, /stop,
/model), legacy /hermes <sub> compat, manifest structure, and
telegram<->slack parity (every Telegram command must also register
as a Slack slash). Existing /hermes-registration test updated to
assert the new regex matches /hermes, /btw, /stop, /model, /help.
- Docs: slack.md gains a 'Slash Commands' section + Option A manifest
flow in Step 1; cli-commands.md documents 'hermes slack manifest'.
Users pick up the new slashes by running 'hermes slack manifest --write'
and pasting into Features → App Manifest → Edit in their Slack app
config, then Save (Slack prompts for reinstall if scopes changed).
