feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime
Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.
Lands in three pieces:
1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
development.
2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
- Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
- Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).
3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
CLI installed.
This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.
Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)
* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review
The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.
Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
- userMessage → {role: user, content}
- agentMessage → {role: assistant, content: text}
- reasoning → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
- commandExecution → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
- fileChange → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
- mcpToolCall → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
- dynamicToolCall → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
- plan/hookPrompt/etc → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls
Invariants preserved:
- Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
- Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
- Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
- JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.
Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).
23 new tests, all green:
- Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
- Turn/thread frame events are silent
- commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
deterministic id stability across replays
- agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
- fileChange: summary without inlined content
- mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
- userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
- opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
- Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
- Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types
This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.
* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge
The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.
The adapter has a single public per-turn method:
result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
# result.final_text → assistant text for the caller
# result.projected_messages → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
# result.tool_iterations → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
# result.interrupted → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
# result.error → error string when the turn cannot complete
# result.turn_id, thread_id → for sessions DB / resume
Behavior:
- ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
- run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
- request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
- turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
error if the turn never completes.
- close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.
Approval bridge:
Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:
Hermes 'once' → codex 'approved'
Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'
Routing precedence:
1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired
Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.
Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
Hermes 'auto' → codex 'workspace-write'
Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'
20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
- test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
- test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
- test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)
Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.
Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.
* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent
The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.
Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):
1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.
2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
flag is off.
3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
_iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
loop normally does that per iteration), fires
_spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.
Counter accounting:
_turns_since_memory ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
(gated on memory store configured) — codex
helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
_user_turn_count ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
— codex helper does NOT touch it.
_iters_since_skill ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.
User message:
ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.
Approval callback wiring:
Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
the codex-side fail-closed deny.
Error path:
Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
/codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.
9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
- api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
- run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
(final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
- Projected messages are spliced into messages list
- _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
- _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
- User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
- _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
- chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
- Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
- Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved
Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
- tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
- tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
- tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
- tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green
Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.
* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)
User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.
Surface:
/codex-runtime — show current state + codex CLI status
/codex-runtime auto — Hermes default runtime
/codex-runtime codex_app_server — codex subprocess runtime
/codex-runtime on / off — synonyms
Files changed:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
suits their surface.
hermes_cli/commands.py:
Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).
cli.py:
Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.
gateway/run.py:
Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.
gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
/codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.
Tests:
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.
Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
- tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
167/167 green
- tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits
Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.
* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml
Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.
The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.
What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env → codex stdio transport
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers → codex streamable_http transport
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout → codex tool_timeout_sec
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout → codex startup_timeout_sec
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd → codex stdio cwd
Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false → codex enabled = false
What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.
What's NOT migrated (intentional):
AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
it up without translation. No code needed.
Idempotency design:
All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
or below.
Files added:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
.skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
covering:
- per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
- TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
- existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
above, with user content below
- end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
summary formatting
Files changed:
hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
path (auto) explicitly skips migration.
tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.
All 325 feature tests green:
- tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
- tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
- tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
- tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)
* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()
Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.
Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.
Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.
Two regression-guard tests added:
- test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
- test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1
Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.
* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test
Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.
Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format
Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
{"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.
Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.
Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.
Bug 2: server-request method names
Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
item/commandExecution/requestApproval
item/fileChange/requestApproval
item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)
Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.
Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.
Bug 3: approval decision values
Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).
Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.
Live test verified after fixes:
$ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
> Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
then read it back
Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.
agent.log confirms:
codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace
All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.
* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs
Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.
Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.
Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
✓ thread/start handshake
✓ turn/start with text input
✓ commandExecution items + projection
✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
✓ Approve once → command runs
✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)
Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
- delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
- permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
- apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
doesn't expose it)
145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.
* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)
Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)
Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
(plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
- render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
- migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
- _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
[permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.
Quirk fixes:
#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
default_permission_profile=None to opt out.
#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.
Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.
#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
'<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.
Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.
#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
on. Default banner is unchanged.
Tests:
- 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
- 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
- All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.
* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration
The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.
Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.
New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
Hermes default runtime. Run with:
python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]
Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
_press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
_vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
text_to_speech.
NOT exposed (deliberately):
- terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
- delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.
Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
- _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
- render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
- migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
— must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
- _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.
Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
struct PermissionProfileToml'.
2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
rejected with 'unknown built-in profile'.
3. Codex's MCP layer sends for
tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
the runtime), decline for third-party servers.
Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
#2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
approval prompt on every write.
#4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:

plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
- 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
- 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
hermes-tools, decline others).
- New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.
* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6
Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.
This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.
Now explicitly tested:
- User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
- User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
- Both above + below survive a second re-migration
- User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
region is left untouched
Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.
167 codex-runtime tests, all green.
* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find
Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.
Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).
Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:
1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
adjacent.
2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.
Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.
Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.
Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.
No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.
* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade
Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.
Bug 1: wrong call signature
The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
messages_snapshot=list (positional or keyword)
review_memory=bool (at least one trigger must be True)
review_skills=bool
So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.
Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode
The review fork is constructed with:
api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')
So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.
Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).
Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
- Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
- Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
- Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
- Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.
Tests:
Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
- test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
- test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
- test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
messages_snapshot
New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
- test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
the parent was codex_app_server.
Live-validated against real run_conversation:
- Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
- _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
- review_skills=True, review_memory=False
- messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
- Counter reset to 0 after fire
170 codex-runtime tests, all green.
Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).
* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback
Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.
That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.
Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.
Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.
Tools exposed:
Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
Read-only board queries:
kanban_show, kanban_list
Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link
Tests:
- test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
- test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link
Docs:
- New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
- /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
the default :workspace permission profile)
- Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
to the MCP server subprocess
- Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
- Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
orchestrator
172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).
* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost
Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:
1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
slash command syntax.
2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
manually' since it's an internal handoff.
3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.
This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).
Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
fix earlier in this PR.
No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.
* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME
OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.
Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:
test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
in the subprocess env
test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
arg still isolates
codex state correctly
Docs additions:
'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.
'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.
Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
Opt-in is safer than surprising users.
174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.
* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write
Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.
Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped
The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.
Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.
Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.
Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic
If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.
Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.
Tests:
- test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
- test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
- test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
- test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
- test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
left over after a successful write
- test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)
180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).
Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):
- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
/codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
consistent — only the merge step is racy.
- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
on CI before users hit it.

Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed metadata). Validation: - 'npm run build' succeeded. - Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern). No regressions on any en/ page. |

feat(telegram): /topic off + help + auth gate + screenshot debounce
Four production-readiness additions to topic mode: 1. /topic off — clean disable path. Flips telegram_dm_topic_mode.enabled to 0 and clears telegram_dm_topic_bindings for this chat. Previously users had to edit state.db with sqlite3 to turn the feature off. Idempotent: calling /topic off when the chat was never enabled returns a friendly no-op message. 2. /topic help — inline usage printed in the DM so users don't have to visit docs to discover /topic off, /topic <session-id>, etc. 3. Authorization gate. /topic mutates SQLite side tables and flips the root DM into a lobby, so the action must be authorized. Now calls self._is_user_authorized(source); unauthorized DMs get a refusal instead of activation. Defense in depth on top of the gateway's existing pre-route auth. 4. BotFather screenshot debounce. A user repeatedly running /topic while Threads Settings is still disabled would previously re-upload the same screenshot every time. Now rate-limited to one send per 5 minutes per chat. /topic off resets the counter so re-enabling starts fresh. Command-def args hint updated: /topic [off|help|session-id]. Docs: - New /topic subcommands table at the top of the multi-session section - Disable instructions updated to recommend /topic off first, with the raw SQL fallback kept for bulk cleanup - Under-the-hood list extended with the capability-hint debounce and the authorization gate Tests (6 new): - /topic help returns usage and doesn't create topic tables - /topic off disables mode AND clears bindings - /topic off is idempotent when never enabled - Unauthorized users get refusal, no tables created - Capability-hint debounce is per-chat - /topic off resets both lobby and capability debounce counters All 402 targeted tests pass. Full gateway sweep: 4809/4810 (pre-existing test_teams::test_send_typing unrelated). |

docs(kanban): backfill multi-board refs in reference docs (#19704)
Followup to #19653. The feature PR updated the Kanban user guide but missed four other pages that document the same surface. Caught when Teknium asked 'did you add docs to the guide and any other kanban related docs around this?'. - reference/cli-commands.md: rewrite the `hermes kanban` section to document the `--board <slug>` global flag, the `boards` subcommand group (list/create/switch/show/rename/rm), board resolution order, and worked examples. Also fills in the `create` / `complete` flag lists that had drifted from the current CLI (`--summary`, `--metadata`, `--triage`, `--idempotency-key`, `--max-runtime`, `--skill`). - reference/environment-variables.md: add `HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD` row, update `HERMES_KANBAN_DB` precedence note. - reference/slash-commands.md: add `/kanban boards ...` and `/kanban --board <slug> ...` to the two `/kanban` rows (CLI table + gateway table). - features/kanban-tutorial.md: the walkthrough uses the `default` board, so just a note pointing readers at the overview's Boards section if they want multiple queues, plus the corrected per-board DB path. Skill docs (devops-kanban-orchestrator, -worker) intentionally not updated: those are agent-facing lifecycle playbooks and boards are transparent to workers (HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD env var pins the DB automatically), so there's nothing new for a worker to know. |

docs: document /kanban slash command (#19584)
* docs: document /kanban slash command
The kanban user guide and slash-commands reference only mentioned the
/kanban slash command in passing. Add a proper section covering:
- CLI and gateway both expose the full hermes kanban surface via
hermes_cli.kanban.run_slash (identical argument surface)
- Mid-run usage: /kanban bypasses the running-agent guard, so reads
and writes land immediately while an agent is still in a turn
- Auto-subscribe on /kanban create from the gateway — originating
chat is subscribed to terminal events, with a worked example
- Output truncation (~3800 chars) in messaging
- Autocomplete hint list vs full subcommand surface
Also adds /kanban rows to both slash-command tables (CLI + messaging)
in reference/slash-commands.md and moves it into the 'works in both'
notes bucket.
* docs(kanban): frame the model's tool surface as primary, CLI as the human surface
The kanban user guide and CLI reference read as if you drive the board
by running `hermes kanban` commands everywhere. In practice:
- **You** (human, scripts, cron, dashboard) use the `hermes kanban …`
CLI, the `/kanban …` slash command, or the REST/dashboard.
- **Workers** spawned by the dispatcher use a dedicated `kanban_*`
toolset (`kanban_show`, `kanban_complete`, `kanban_block`,
`kanban_heartbeat`, `kanban_comment`, `kanban_create`,
`kanban_link`) and never shell out to the CLI.
Changes to `user-guide/features/kanban.md`:
- New 'Two surfaces' intro distinguishes the two front doors up front.
- Quick-start section re-labelled so each step says who is running it
(you vs. orchestrator vs. worker).
- 'How workers interact with the board' rewritten:
- Lead with "Workers do not shell out to `hermes kanban`."
- Tool table extended with required params.
- Concrete worker-turn example (`kanban_show` → `kanban_heartbeat`
→ `kanban_complete`) and an orchestrator fan-out example
(`kanban_create` x N with `parents=[...]`).
- Moved 'Why tools not CLI' from a defensive aside to a clean
follow-up section.
- 'Worker skill' section explicitly says the lifecycle is taught
in tool calls, not CLI commands.
- 'Pinning extra skills' reordered — orchestrator tool form first
(the usual case), human/CLI second, dashboard third.
- 'Orchestrator skill' now shows a canonical `kanban_create` /
`kanban_link` / `kanban_complete` tool-call sequence instead of
only describing what the skill teaches.
- CLI-command-reference heading now clarifies this is the human
surface, with a cross-link to the tool-surface section.
- 'Runs — one row per attempt' structured-handoff example replaced:
the primary example is now `kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)`
(what a worker actually does), with the CLI form retained as
"when you, the human, need to close a task a worker can't."
Changes to `reference/cli-commands.md`:
- `hermes kanban` intro marks itself as the human / scripting surface
and links out to the worker tool surface.
- Corrected `comment <id>` description — the next worker reads it via
`kanban_show()`, not by running `hermes kanban show`.
* docs(kanban-tutorial): reframe worker actions as tool calls
Honest answer to Teknium's follow-up: no, the first pass missed the
tutorial. The four stories all showed `hermes kanban claim /
complete / block / unblock` as if the backend-dev, pm, and reviewer
personas were humans running CLI commands. In a real hermes kanban
run those agents are dispatcher-spawned workers driving the board
through the `kanban_*` tool surface.
Changes:
- Setup intro now distinguishes the three surfaces up front
(dashboard / CLI for you, `kanban_*` tools for workers) and
establishes the convention: `bash` blocks are commands *you* run,
`# worker tool calls` blocks are what the agent emits.
- Story 1 (solo dev schema): 'Claim the schema task, do the work,
hand off' block replaced with the dispatcher spawning the
backend-dev worker and a `kanban_show → kanban_heartbeat →
kanban_complete` tool-call sequence. The 'On the CLI' `hermes
kanban show / runs` block re-labelled as 'you peeking at the board'
to keep it correct as a human inspection step.
- Story 2 (fleet farming): note about structured handoff updated
from `--summary` / `--metadata` CLI flags to
`kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)` tool form.
- Story 3 (role pipeline): the big PM/engineer/reviewer block fully
rewritten as three worker tool-call sequences — PM worker
completes spec, engineer worker blocks, human/reviewer
`hermes kanban unblock` (or `/kanban unblock`), engineer worker
respawns and completes. The respawn-as-new-run mechanic is now
explicit.
- Reviewer paragraph: `build_worker_context` replaced with
`kanban_show()` — that's the tool that delivers the parent
handoff to the model.
- Structured handoff section heading and body updated:
`--summary`/`--metadata` → `summary`/`metadata` (tool params),
with a note that the tool surface doesn't expose a bulk variant
for the same reason the CLI refuses multi-task `complete`.
Story 4 (circuit breaker) unchanged — its workers fail to spawn,
so there are no tool calls to show; the `hermes kanban create` and
`hermes kanban runs` commands in it are correctly human-driven.

docs: add Persistent Goals (/goal) feature page (#18275)
Adds a proper feature page at user-guide/features/goals.md covering the /goal slash command — Hermes' take on the Ralph loop shipped in PR #18262. The slash-commands reference table had two table rows but no narrative doc walking through the judge model, fail-open semantics, turn budget, persistence, user-message preemption, or the aux-model config override. Adds a walkthrough example showing a multi-turn goal running to completion, covers the two judge failure modes with how to recover, and credits Codex CLI 0.128.0 / Eric Traut as prior art. Also cross-links both slash-commands.md rows to the new page so readers discovering /goal from the command reference can dive in. |

feat: /goal — persistent cross-turn goals (Ralph loop) (#18262)
Add a standing-goal slash command that keeps Hermes working toward a user-stated objective across turns until it is achieved, paused, or the turn budget runs out. Our take on the Ralph loop — cf. Codex CLI 0.128.0's /goal. After each turn, a lightweight auxiliary-model judge call asks 'is this goal satisfied by the assistant's last response?'. If not, and we're under the turn budget (default 20), Hermes feeds a continuation prompt back into the same session as a normal user message. Any real user message preempts the continuation loop automatically. Judge failures fail OPEN (continue) so a flaky judge never wedges progress — the turn budget is the real backstop. ### Commands - `/goal <text>` — set a standing goal (kicks off the first turn) - `/goal` or `/goal status` — show current state - `/goal pause` — pause the continuation loop - `/goal resume` — resume (resets turn counter) - `/goal clear` — drop the goal Works on both CLI and gateway platforms via the central CommandDef registry. ### Design invariants preserved - **Prompt cache**: continuation prompts are regular user-role messages appended to history. No system-prompt mutation, no toolset swap. - **Role alternation**: continuation is a user turn, never injected mid-tool-loop. - **Session persistence**: goal state lives in SessionDB.state_meta keyed by `goal:<session_id>`, so `/resume` picks it up. - **Mid-run safety**: on the gateway, `/goal status|pause|clear` are allowed mid-run (control-plane only); setting a new goal requires `/stop` first so we don't race a second continuation prompt against the current turn. ### Files - `hermes_cli/goals.py` (new, 380 lines) — GoalManager + judge + state - `hermes_cli/commands.py` — CommandDef entry - `hermes_cli/config.py` — `goals.max_turns` default - `hermes_cli/web_server.py` — dashboard category merge - `cli.py` — /goal handler + post-turn continuation hook in process_loop - `gateway/run.py` — /goal handler + post-turn continuation hook wrapping _handle_message_with_agent - `tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py` (new, 26 tests) — judge parsing, fail-open semantics, lifecycle, persistence, budget exhaustion - `website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md` — docs entry |

docs: two-week gap sweep — platforms, CLI, config, TUI, hooks, providers (#17727)
Covers ~60 merged PRs from Apr 15–29 that shipped user-visible behavior without docs coverage. No functional code changes; docs + static manifest regeneration only. Highlights: Stale / incorrect: - configuration.md: auxiliary auto-routing line was wrong since #11900; now correctly states auto routes to the main model, with a note on the cost trade-off and per-task override pattern. - integrations/providers.md + configuration.md compression intro: removed stale 'Gemini Flash via OpenRouter' claim. - website/static/api/model-catalog.json: rebuilt from hermes_cli/models.py so the live manifest picks up tencent/hy3-preview (and remains in sync for future model-catalog PRs).

refactor: /btw is now an alias for /background (#16053)
The ephemeral no-tools side-question variant of /btw confused users who expected 'by-the-way' to mean 'run this off to the side with tools' — they'd type /btw and get a toolless agent that couldn't do the work. /bg worked because it was /background with full tools. Collapse the two: /btw and /bg both alias to /background. One command, one behavior, no more gotchas about which variant has tools. Removed: - _handle_btw_command in cli.py and gateway/run.py - _run_btw_task + _active_btw_tasks state in gateway/run.py - prompt.btw JSON-RPC method + btw.complete event in tui_gateway - BtwStartResponse type + btw.complete case in ui-tui - Standalone /btw slash tree registration in Discord - Standalone btw CommandDef in hermes_cli/commands.py Updated: - background CommandDef aliases: (bg,) -> (bg, btw) - TUI session.ts: local btw handler merged into background - Docs and tips updated to describe /btw as a /background alias |

docs: correctness audit — fix wrong values, add missing coverage (#11972)
Comprehensive audit of every reference/messaging/feature doc page against the
live code registries (PROVIDER_REGISTRY, OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, COMMAND_REGISTRY,
TOOLSETS, tool registry, on-disk skills). Every fix was verified against code
before writing.
### Wrong values fixed (users would paste-and-fail)
- reference/environment-variables.md:
- DASHSCOPE_BASE_URL default was `coding-intl.dashscope.aliyuncs.com/v1` \u2192
actual `dashscope-intl.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1`.
- MINIMAX_BASE_URL and MINIMAX_CN_BASE_URL defaults were `/v1` \u2192 actual
`/anthropic` (Hermes calls MiniMax via its Anthropic Messages endpoint).
- reference/toolsets-reference.md MCP example used the non-existent nested
`mcp: servers:` key \u2192 real key is the flat `mcp_servers:`.
- reference/skills-catalog.md listed ~20 bundled skills that no longer exist
on disk (all moved to `optional-skills/`). Regenerated the whole bundled
section from `skills/**/SKILL.md` \u2014 79 skills, accurate paths and names.
- messaging/slack.md ":::info" callout claimed Slack has no
`free_response_channels` equivalent; both the env var and the yaml key are
in fact read.
- messaging/qqbot.md documented `QQ_MARKDOWN_SUPPORT` as an env var, but the
adapter only reads `extra.markdown_support` from config.yaml. Removed the
env var row and noted config-only nature.
- messaging/qqbot.md `hermes setup gateway` \u2192 `hermes gateway setup`.
### Missing coverage added
- Providers: AWS Bedrock and Qwen Portal (qwen-oauth) \u2014 both in
PROVIDER_REGISTRY but undocumented everywhere. Added sections to
integrations/providers.md, rows to quickstart.md and fallback-providers.md.
- integrations/providers.md "Fallback Model" provider list now includes
gemini, google-gemini-cli, qwen-oauth, xai, nvidia, ollama-cloud, bedrock.
- reference/cli-commands.md `--provider` enum and HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER
enum in env-vars now include the same set.
- reference/slash-commands.md: added `/agents` (alias `/tasks`) and `/copy`.
Removed duplicate rows for `/snapshot`, `/fast` (\u00d72), `/debug`.
- reference/tools-reference.md: fixed "47 built-in tools" \u2192 52. Added
`feishu_doc` and `feishu_drive` toolset sections.
- reference/toolsets-reference.md: added `feishu_doc` / `feishu_drive` core
rows + all missing `hermes-<platform>` toolsets in the platform table
(bluebubbles, dingtalk, feishu, qqbot, wecom, wecom-callback, weixin,
homeassistant, webhook, gateway). Fixed the `debugging` composite to
describe the actual `includes=[...]` mechanism.
- reference/optional-skills-catalog.md: added `fitness-nutrition`.
- reference/environment-variables.md: added NOUS_BASE_URL,
NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL, NVIDIA_API_KEY/BASE_URL, OLLAMA_API_KEY/BASE_URL,
XAI_API_KEY/BASE_URL, MISTRAL_API_KEY, AWS_REGION/AWS_PROFILE,
BEDROCK_BASE_URL, HERMES_QWEN_BASE_URL, DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS,
DISCORD_PROXY, TELEGRAM_REPLY_TO_MODE, MATRIX_DEVICE_ID, MATRIX_REACTIONS,
QQBOT_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME, QQ_SANDBOX.
- messaging/discord.md: documented DISCORD_ALLOWED_CHANNELS, DISCORD_PROXY,
HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_DELAY_SECONDS and HERMES_DISCORD_TEXT_BATCH_SPLIT
_DELAY_SECONDS (all actively read by the adapter).
- messaging/matrix.md: documented MATRIX_REACTIONS (default true).
- messaging/telegram.md: removed the redundant second Webhook Mode section
that invented a `telegram.webhook_mode: true` yaml key the adapter does
not read.
- user-guide/features/hooks.md: added `on_session_finalize` and
`on_session_reset` (both emitted via invoke_hook but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/api-server.md: documented GET /health/detailed, the
`/api/jobs/*` CRUD surface, POST /v1/runs, and GET /v1/runs/{id}/events
(10 routes that were live but undocumented).
- user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: added `approval` and
`title_generation` auxiliary-task rows; added gemini, bedrock, qwen-oauth
to the supported-providers table.
- user-guide/features/tts.md: "seven providers" \u2192 "eight" (post-xAI add
oversight in #11942).
- user-guide/configuration.md: TTS provider enum gains `xai` and `gemini`;
yaml example block gains `mistral:`, `gemini:`, `xai:` subsections.
Auxiliary-provider enum now enumerates all real registry entries.
- reference/faq.md: stale AIAgent/config examples bumped from
`nous/hermes-3-llama-3.1-70b` and `claude-sonnet-4.6` to
`claude-opus-4.7`.
### Docs-site integrity
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md referenced two nonexistent hooks
(`pre_api_request`, `post_api_request`). Replaced with the real
`on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset` entries.
- messaging/open-webui.md and features/api-server.md had pre-existing
broken links to `/docs/user-guide/features/profiles` (actual path is
`/docs/user-guide/profiles`). Fixed.
- reference/skills-catalog.md had one `<1%` literal that MDX parsed as a
JSX tag. Escaped to `<1%`.
### False positives filtered out (not changed, verified correct)
- `/set-home` is a registered alias of `/sethome` \u2014 docs were fine.
- `hermes setup gateway` is valid syntax (`hermes setup \<section\>`);
changed in qqbot.md for cross-doc consistency, not as a bug fix.
- Telegram reactions "disabled by default" matches code (default `"false"`).
- Matrix encryption "opt-in" matches code (empty env default \u2192 disabled).
- `pre_api_request` / `post_api_request` hooks do NOT exist in current code;
documented instead the real `on_session_finalize` / `on_session_reset`.
- SIGNAL_IGNORE_STORIES is already in env-vars.md (subagent missed it).
Validation:
- `docusaurus build` \u2014 passes (only pre-existing nix-setup anchor warning).
- `ascii-guard lint docs` \u2014 124 files, 0 errors.
- 22 files changed, +317 / \u2212158.

docs: clarify hermes model vs /model — two commands, two purposes (#10276)
Users are confused about the difference between `hermes model` (terminal command for full provider setup) and `/model` (session command for switching between already-configured providers). This distinction was not documented anywhere. Changes across 4 doc pages: - cli-commands.md: Added warning callout explaining the difference, added --global flag docs, added 'only see OpenRouter models?' info box - slash-commands.md: Added notes on both TUI and messaging /model entries that /model only switches between configured providers - providers.md: Added 'Two Commands for Model Management' comparison table near top of page, added warning callout in switching section - faq.md: Added new FAQ entry '/model only shows one provider' with quick reference table Prompted by user feedback in Discord — new users consistently hit this confusion when trying to add providers from inside a session. |

fix: remove /prompt slash command — footgun via prefix expansion (#6752)
/pr <anything> silently resolved to /prompt via the shortest-match tiebreaker in prefix expansion, permanently overwriting the system prompt and persisting to config. The command's functionality (setting agent.system_prompt) is available via config.yaml and /personality covers the common use case. Removes: CommandDef, dispatch branch, _handle_prompt_command handler, docs references, and updates subcommand extraction test. |

feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway (#3262)
* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value. - CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces - /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command' - Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved) - When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose) in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI - Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically check config to include/exclude config-gated commands - GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately - Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False) - 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler * docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support - AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields - slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes - configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note - cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement - messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet - plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table |

refactor: centralize slash command registry (#1603)
* refactor: centralize slash command registry Replace 7+ scattered command definition sites with a single CommandDef registry in hermes_cli/commands.py. All downstream consumers now derive from this registry: - CLI process_command() resolves aliases via resolve_command() - Gateway _known_commands uses GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS frozenset - Gateway help text generated by gateway_help_lines() - Telegram BotCommands generated by telegram_bot_commands() - Slack subcommand map generated by slack_subcommand_map() Adding a command or alias is now a one-line change to COMMAND_REGISTRY instead of touching 6+ files. Bugfixes included: - Telegram now registers /rollback, /background (were missing) - Slack now has /voice, /update, /reload-mcp (were missing) - Gateway duplicate 'reasoning' dispatch (dead code) removed - Gateway help text can no longer drift from CLI help Backwards-compatible: COMMANDS and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY dicts are rebuilt from the registry, so existing imports work unchanged. * docs: update developer docs for centralized command registry Update AGENTS.md with full 'Slash Command Registry' and 'Adding a Slash Command' sections covering CommandDef fields, registry helpers, and the one-line alias workflow. Also update: - CONTRIBUTING.md: commands.py description - website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md: reference central registry - docs/plans/centralize-command-registry.md: mark COMPLETED - plans/checkpoint-rollback.md: reference new pattern - hermes-agent-dev skill: architecture table * chore: remove stale plan docs |
