Follow-up hardening on top of #64158 (@DavidMetcalfe):
Backend (the root-cause fix):
- hermes_cli/moa_config.py: add validate_moa_payload() — strict write-time
counterpart to the deliberately tolerant normalize_moa_config(). Flags
half-filled slots, empty reference lists, recursive moa slots, naming the
exact preset/slot.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: PUT /api/model/moa validates before normalizing
and returns 422 with the specific problems instead of silently swapping the
user's preset for hardcoded defaults (#64156). Also declares
fanout / reference_max_tokens / reasoning_effort on the Pydantic payload so
client round-trips no longer erase hand-set values.
Desktop:
- Replace sanitize-then-send with hold-while-incomplete: the debounced
autosave is deferred (not repaired) while any slot is half-filled, and
flushes once the model pick completes the edit. Mid-edit UI state is never
repainted by a save response (generation guard covers held edits too).
- updateMoaSlot only clears the model when the provider actually changed.
- Explicit preset ops (set default / add / delete) cancel the pending
autosave and invalidate in-flight responses so the two writers can't race.
- Stable row keys (preset+index) so mid-edit rows don't remount; cleared
model shows the 'Model' placeholder instead of vanishing.
Both TS clients' MoaConfigResponse types now declare the round-tripped
fields (fanout, reference_max_tokens, reasoning_effort).
Tests: 12 new backend unit tests (validate_moa_payload contract incl.
validate/normalize agreement), 3 new web_server endpoint tests (422 on
half-filled ref/aggregator, fanout round-trip), 3 new desktop vitest cases
(autosave held while half-filled, flush on completion, same-provider
reselect no-op). E2E validated against a live TestClient with isolated
HERMES_HOME: bug sequence now 422s with config untouched.
Fixes#64156
Add merge_existing to save_config (default False for full-document callers
like the dashboard YAML editor) and route partial writes through
_merge_partial_save. _persist_migration writes the full migrated dict
directly so deleted keys are not resurrected from the on-disk file.
The remote model catalog (website/static/api/model-catalog.json) now labels
exactly one entry per provider block with "default": true — z-ai/glm-5.2 for
both OpenRouter and Nous Portal. That labeled entry is the model Hermes
silently lands on when the user never picked one, and it can be rotated by
editing the manifest alone: no release needed.
- model_catalog.py: get_default_model_from_cache() reads the label from the
in-process/disk cache only — never triggers a network fetch, so hot
resolution paths (agent build, gateway session setup) stay network-free.
- models.py: get_preferred_silent_default_model() resolves catalog label
first, PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL constant second (offline/fresh
install). _PROVIDER_SILENT_DEFAULT_OVERRIDES dict replaced by
_SILENT_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS routing through the shared resolver.
fetch_openrouter_models() preserves the "default" badge through live
/v1/models refreshes so the picker shows it.
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py: generator emits the default label so
regeneration can't drop it.
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md: schema documents the new field.
- Salvaged from PR #61141 (@HumphreySun98): bare-provider /model switches
(/model nous) route through the cost-safe default instead of curated
entry [0].
- tests: catalog-label precedence, constant fallback, stale-label fallback,
cache-only (no network) guarantee, and a shipped-manifest contract test
pinning the labeled entry to PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME): fresh-install constant fallback, shipped-manifest
label read, release-free rotation (relabeled cache -> new default across
models.py, tui_gateway, and gateway empty-model paths) all verified.
When a user starts a chat without ever selecting a model (GUI Chat App
onboarding, provider-set-but-model-missing config, empty model.default),
every silent fallback path resolved to the first curated catalog entry —
anthropic/claude-fable-5, the priciest flagship. Users were silently
billed for the most expensive model without opting in.
- hermes_cli/models.py: add PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL (z-ai/glm-5.2)
+ pick_silent_default_model() helper; point the nous silent-default
override at it and add an openrouter override (previously resolved to
"" and let downstream paths land on the flagship).
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: /api/model/recommended-default (the endpoint
the Desktop onboarding confirm card reads) now picks GLM-5.2 when the
provider's list carries it instead of blindly taking entry [0].
- tui_gateway/server.py: _resolve_model()'s last-resort literal was
anthropic/claude-sonnet-4; now PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
- tests: update empty-model fallback tests for the new contract.
The desktop provider panel previously rendered the curated declarations
from hermes_cli/memory_providers.py: five hindsight fields, and no panel
at all for undeclared providers like honcho (OAuth connect only). The
dashboard provider-switching rework re-pointed the shared config route
at raw plugin schemas, so the desktop began dumping every internal field
(35 for hindsight) and grew a bespoke honcho panel.
Serve both surfaces from the same route: ?surface=declared returns the
curated schema (empty for undeclared providers) with the original
config-file + env-store write semantics; the dashboard keeps the raw
plugin schema unchanged. The desktop client opts into declared.
The dashboard's dedicated memory-provider UI (4b184cbe5) excluded
memory.provider from /api/config/schema server-side. Desktop's settings
page builds its field list from that schema, so the Memory Provider
dropdown silently vanished from Desktop after v0.18.1.
- web_server.py: restore memory.provider as a select in _SCHEMA_OVERRIDES,
with options built from plugins.memory discovery (was a stale hardcoded
[builtin, honcho] list before the removal)
- plugins/memory: add list_memory_provider_names() — directory-scan-only
name listing, safe at module import time (no provider imports)
- web ConfigPage: hide memory.provider client-side instead — the Plugins
page owns the dedicated provider-switching UI there
- tests: schema contract (select present, category memory, builtin
sentinel) + invariant that every discoverable provider is selectable
The sidebar "New worktree" button branched off whatever HEAD you were
on — now a filterable Popover+Command combobox lets you pick any local
or remote-tracking branch as the base, defaulting to origin/HEAD.
Backend listBaseBranches() queries refs/heads + refs/remotes via
for-each-ref, flags origin/HEAD (falling back to the local default for
no-remote repos). Mirrored on the Python REST API side
(base_branch_list + /api/git/base-branches route).
Reject metadata that would make session queries fail, bound import work, and detach cyclic lineage links. Guard lineage traversal against pre-existing corrupt cycles.
The web UI CONFIG_SCHEMA showed ['ask', 'yolo', 'deny'] for the
approvals.mode select field. These don't match any real config values
and 'smart' mode was entirely unreachable from the dashboard.
Correct the options to ['manual', 'smart', 'off'] which match the
values defined and documented in hermes_cli/config.py.
Adds a regression test to TestBuildSchemaFromConfig to pin the correct
option names and guard against future drift.
Fixes#31925
Unify the named-provider fixes from #52506, #57185, #60337, and #60901 at the main-model normalization chokepoint.

Dashboard Chat is an xterm mirror of a TUI inside the gateway, so
server-side clipboard.paste never sees the browser clipboard. Upload
pasted/dropped images to the profile's images/ dir (same place
clipboard.paste / image.attach use), then drive /image over the PTY.
Uses a dedicated /api/chat/image-upload endpoint (magic-byte check,
25MB cap, profile scope) instead of relative managed-files uploads that
400 on local dashboards without a locked root. Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V also
tries clipboard.read() for images before falling back to text, since
preventDefault on that chord suppresses the DOM paste event.
Salvages #57912 (client composition + /image PTY drive) and folds in
#48563's upload endpoint + drop path.

Two async handlers still called the cron profile-walk helpers directly on
the FastAPI event loop after the 49fa04a23/346e5673d threadpool migration:
- POST /api/cron/fire called _find_cron_job_profile() inline — it walks
every profile and lists its jobs (file I/O per profile), stalling the
loop before the 202 is returned.
- POST /api/cron/blueprints/instantiate called _call_cron_for_profile()
inline for create_job.
Route both through the existing _run_cron_dashboard_io threadpool wrapper
like every other cron dashboard endpoint.
Credit: @riceharvest (#50948) originally identified the sync-I/O-in-async-
handlers bug class for the desktop boot endpoints; 49fa04a23, 346e5673d,
7d0ddbb2f, d5eee133e and 24d5bda1e have since fixed most of that PR's scope
via the managed threadpool + PID cache + alias-map surfaces. This covers
the two cron handlers those merges missed.
- derive the compact_rows projection from SCHEMA_SQL (parse once, cache)
instead of a hardcoded column list: the original #47437 list was cut
against a June schema and silently dropped session_key/chat_id/chat_type/
thread_id/display_name/origin_json/expiry_finalized/git_branch/
git_repo_root/compression_failure_* — including desktop sidebar fields.
Schema-derived means declaratively reconciled new columns are included
automatically; only system_prompt is excluded.
- guard test pinning the schema<->projection contract (mutation-verified:
dropping a column from the projection fails it)
- wire compact_rows=(not full) into /api/sessions and /api/profiles/sessions
so the SQL projection pairs with the API-level field strip (?full=1 still
returns complete rows end-to-end)
- pass compact_rows at the remaining hot list callers: /api/status active
count, _session_latest_descendant fallback, /api/sessions/stats by-source
- thread compact_rows through the compression-tip projection
(_get_session_rich_row) so projected tips can't reintroduce the blob
- add pagination tests for get_messages (#60347 shipped none): paging order,
offset-past-end, active-flag interaction; add tip-projection compact test
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for mahdiwafy + CodeForgeNet (plain emails)
list_sessions_rich and _get_session_rich_row previously used SELECT s.*,
pulling the system_prompt TEXT blob on every row even for dashboard and
picker callers that never display it. On large databases this blob routinely
runs to tens of kilobytes per session, causing unnecessary B-tree I/O.
Add compact_rows=False param to both functions. When True, an explicit
column list omitting system_prompt is substituted for s.* in both the
simple and the recursive-CTE (order_by_last_active) query paths.
Default is False so all existing callers are unaffected.
Update dashboard and session-picker callers in web_server.py and
tui_gateway/server.py to pass compact_rows=True.
Add seven regression tests covering: omission of system_prompt, presence
of all metadata fields, both query paths, _get_session_rich_row, and
backward-compat default.
(cherry picked from commit c470cbd304)
The session messages endpoint returned ALL messages in a single
response with no limit/offset. Sessions with 500+ messages produced
1.2-1.6 MB JSON payloads, causing GIL starvation and WebSocket
timeouts on the Desktop client (#60155).
Add optional limit/offset query params to both the API endpoint and
SessionDB.get_messages(). Limit clamped to 500 max per page. Response
now includes a pagination object with limit/offset/returned count.
Backward compatible: callers that omit limit get the old behavior
(all messages).
Closes#60155
(cherry picked from commit d58396b154)
Review finding: SessionDB(read_only=True) requires the DB file to exist
(its documented contract says callers guard on db_path.exists()); on a
fresh install every /api/status poll paid an OperationalError until the
first session was written. Short-circuit to 0 when state.db is absent.
Tests: fresh-install guard + existing read_only test adjusted.
The #39140 CTE used UNION ALL, which recurses forever if a corrupted
parent chain loops (a -> b -> a) — reproduced: query never returns. The
old Python walk was cycle-safe via a seen-set. UNION dedups the working
set and terminates. Regression test added and mutation-verified (UNION
ALL hangs the test, UNION passes).
Flip the handler from async def to sync def so FastAPI executes it in
its threadpool: the SessionDB open + list_sessions_rich query no longer
block the single uvicorn event loop.
Residual hunk from PR #53966 — that PR's get_profiles_sessions flip
already landed via #54523/1bb7b59c5, and its get_status offload is
superseded by #58238's read_only + timeout variant in this branch.
(cherry picked from commit 414c12a40d)
_session_latest_descendant fetched EVERY sessions row and built the
parent->children tree in Python on each call. Replace with a recursive
CTE that loads only the target session's descendant branch.
Hand-applied from PR #39140 (the schema-init cache and Rust PTY bridge
parts of that PR are intentionally NOT salvaged here); main's function
signature gained a db parameter since the PR was cut.
(cherry picked from commit 8ed5e54f65)
The chat PTY launch path landed on main after PR #50558 and still called
_session_latest_descendant() with the old one-arg signature. Open the
requested profile's state DB (matching the REST endpoint) so profile-scoped
resume resolves descendants in the right database.
Strict charset allowlist (alnum + - _, max 64) on the {name} path param of
the memory-provider config/setup endpoints. Prevents traversal-shaped names
from reaching find_provider_dir(), and setup now 404s when neither a
loadable provider nor a plugin manifest exists, so the command-running path
is only reachable for discoverable plugins. Adds regression tests.
The profile+gateway topology added in #60537 sits entirely behind the
loopback/--insecure auth gate. But a hosted agent (Hermes Cloud) binds
non-loopback with OAuth, so should_require_auth is True, and NAS reads
/api/status over the network (fly-provider.ts getInstanceRuntimeStatus)
with no session token. On that gated path the whole topology block was
omitted, so the Portal could never render the profile list.
Split the topology readout by sensitivity:
- profile NAMES (profiles) + gateway_mode are low-sensitivity product
surface and now ride the always-public status body, surviving the auth
gate so NAS/the Portal can enumerate profiles.
- the per-gateway detail (gateways[], carrying host ports) is deployment
recon and stays gated alongside hermes_home / config_path / env_path /
gateway_pid / gateway_health_url.
The collector now runs unconditionally (still in the executor, off the
event loop). No new fields; only the gate placement changes.
Headless/hosted deploys run the dashboard server without COLORTERM in
the process environment, so chalk inside the PTY-spawned TUI child
downgraded every skin hex color to the xterm 256 palette — the default
skin's bronze banner border (#CD7F32) snapped to palette 173 (#D7875F,
salmon red) and the gold caduceus rendered red/yellow on fresh cloud
instances. Local launches never reproduced it because the operator's
interactive terminal leaks COLORTERM=truecolor into the server env.
xterm.js always renders 24-bit RGB, so the dashboard PTY child should
always advertise truecolor: backfill COLORTERM=truecolor in
_resolve_chat_argv via setdefault (an explicit operator value wins).
Verified with a clean-env PTY probe of the real TUI binary:
no COLORTERM -> 0 truecolor SGRs / 165 palette-256 (salmon 38;5;173);
with the backfill -> 166 truecolor SGRs, exact bronze 38;2;205;127;50.
/api/status (loopback/insecure binds only) now includes:
- profiles: every profile on the host (default + named)
- gateway_mode: none | single | multiple | multiplex
- gateways: one entry per live gateway with the host ports its
port-binding platforms listen on, plus served_profiles when the
default gateway is multiplexing
Ports resolve from each profile's config.yaml (top-level platforms:
wins over gateway.platforms:, matching load_gateway_config precedence)
with adapter defaults as fallback. Topology enumeration runs in an
executor so the profile scan + process-table probes stay off the event
loop, and the whole block is gated behind the same loopback-only split
as hermes_home/gateway_pid so gated binds leak nothing new.
Keep-alive path when ?attach=<token> is present: PTY outlives the socket
via PTY_REGISTRY, reattaches on reconnect. No token = unchanged legacy
pump (_legacy_pump). detach (not close) on disconnect.

`_save_anthropic_oauth_creds` wrote the Anthropic OAuth token file with
`os.replace(tmp, path)` followed by a post-hoc `chmod(0o600)`. Between the
rename and the chmod the token file existed at the default umask (0o644 on most
hosts) — a window in which another local user could read the access/refresh
tokens.
Write via `utils.atomic_json_write(..., mode=0o600)`, which creates the temp
with mode 0o600 *before* any content is written, fsyncs, atomically replaces,
preserves the existing file's owner, and cleans up its temp on failure. This
matches the `atomic_json_write(mode=0o600)` call already used elsewhere in this
module for the credential-pool write, and #56644's owner preservation.
Tests updated for the new mechanism, plus a check that the write goes through
`atomic_json_write(mode=0o600)` (mutation-verified).
* fix(dashboard): use loopback host for in-container WebSocket client (#58993)
Fixes#58993 - the in-container Dashboard's WebSocket client was dialing
the bind host (0.0.0.0) instead of 127.0.0.1, hijacking the host browser
when the container port was exposed.
* `hermes_cli/web_server.py::resolve_dashboard_ws_url()` now substitutes
127.0.0.1 for any 0.0.0.0 bind host discovered via the existing
`find_unused_port` / `get_listen_address` path. LAN IPs and explicit
`DASHBOARD_WS_HOST` overrides pass through unchanged.
* Existing tests preserved (no regression on the explicit-bind case).
Tests in `tests/dashboard/test_ws_client_host.py` cover:
- Bind host 0.0.0.0 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1
- Bind host 127.0.0.1 → ws URL uses 127.0.0.1 (no regression)
- Bind host 192.168.1.5 → ws URL preserves the LAN IP
- DASHBOARD_WS_HOST env override wins over auto-detection

* fix(auth): resolve Anthropic OAuth file per-profile + close port-binding platform gaps
Two focused pieces salvaged from PR #57563:
1. _HERMES_OAUTH_FILE was computed at module import time — frozen before
HERMES_HOME/profile overrides, so multiplexed profile turns read and
wrote the DEFAULT profile's .anthropic_oauth.json (OAuth path hijack).
Replaced with a lazy _get_hermes_oauth_file(); all web_server.py call
sites updated.
2. _PORT_BINDING_PLATFORM_VALUES was missing whatsapp_cloud and line —
both bind aiohttp TCP listeners, so a secondary multiplex profile
enabling them would collide with the primary's listener instead of
failing fast at startup.
Original work by @austinlaw076. The rest of #57563 was redundant on
main (adapter routing sweep superseded by #56854's salvage; cron secret
scope landed in fdab380a1; nested-config fallback in from_dict).
* chore(release): map austinlaw076 author email for PR #57563 salvage

A hosted agent whose Nous bootstrap session dies terminally (invalid_grant /
quarantine) looks HEALTHY to every liveness/connectivity probe — the machine,
relay ws, and dashboard all stay up — yet every inference turn hard-fails with
a provider-auth error until a human re-logs-in. Nothing currently surfaces that
condition to NAS.
Add get_nous_session_validity() (valid|terminal|unknown), classified from local
auth-store state (no working token required), and report it on the public
/api/status payload. NAS's 2-min health sweep reads it and re-mints the
bootstrap session in place on 'terminal'.
Anti-flap: only a terminal failure (relogin_required / persisted quarantine
marker with tokens cleared) maps to 'terminal'; transient/mid-rotation blips and
merely-expiring tokens report 'unknown' so a healthy box never triggers a
spurious re-mint.
Part of the hosted-agent bootstrap-session self-heal (NAS side reads this field).
