When the send_message tool runs outside the gateway process (agent loop,
TUI, cron, etc.), _gateway_runner_ref() returns None and the standalone
path in _send_telegram constructs Bot(token=token) directly, bypassing
any configured proxy. In regions where api.telegram.org is blocked, the
send times out after ~5s with 'Telegram send failed: Timed out' and
nothing ever shows up in gateway.log because the request never reaches
the gateway.
Resolve TELEGRAM_PROXY (via gateway.platforms.base.resolve_proxy_url,
which also honours HTTPS_PROXY/HTTP_PROXY/ALL_PROXY and NO_PROXY) just
before constructing the Bot. When a proxy is found, attach an
HTTPXRequest(proxy=...) for both 'request' and 'get_updates_request',
matching what gateway/platforms/telegram.py already does for in-gateway
sends and what the Discord standalone sender already does. Any
exception attaching the proxy falls back cleanly to a direct connection,
preserving prior behaviour for users without a proxy configured.
Adds tests/tools/test_send_message_telegram_proxy.py covering both the
proxy-configured and no-proxy cases.
Salvages #23208 by @awizemann. Tracks which chat session created a
kanban task so clients can render a per-session board without falling
back to tenant + time-window heuristics.
- Schema: tasks gains nullable session_id TEXT column with index
(additive migration in _migrate_add_optional_columns).
- ACP: server.py exposes the originating session id via HERMES_SESSION_ID
with save/restore around the agent loop.
- Tool: kanban_create reads HERMES_SESSION_ID (with explicit override).
- CLI: 'hermes kanban list --session <id>' filter; JSON output exposes
session_id.
Salvages #25579 by @wesleysimplicio. Stamps task_runs.metadata.worker_session_id
from HERMES_SESSION_ID on kanban_complete. Cherry-picked the substantive
commit (not the AUTHOR_MAP fixup tip) onto current main.
xAI's /v1/responses and /v1/chat/completions endpoints reject tool schemas
whose enum values contain a forward slash with a generic HTTP 400 'Invalid
arguments passed to the model.' before any token is emitted — the schema
compiler trips on the '/' character regardless of where it appears.
Most commonly hit by MCP-derived tools whose enum lists HuggingFace model
IDs ('Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B', 'openai/gpt-oss-20b') or owner/name environment
identifiers.
Mirrors the existing strip_pattern_and_format sanitizer (PR for #27197).
The new strip_slash_enum walks tool parameters and drops the entire enum
keyword when any value contains '/' — keeping it partial would still 400
since xAI's failure is all-or-nothing on the enum. The field description
still reaches the model so the prompting hint is preserved.
Wired in at both code paths for parity:
- agent/chat_completion_helpers.py (main agent xAI Responses path)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py (aux client xAI Responses path, matching
the same parity guarantee 2fae8fba9 established for pattern/format)
Salvaged from #28021 by @Slimydog21 — contributor's branch was severely
stale (would have reverted ~5000 LOC across azure/kanban/i18n); fix
re-applied surgically on current main with their sanitizer + 9 tests
preserved verbatim. Author noreply email used (original was a Mac
hostname leak).
Tirith flags .app domains with a lookalike_tld finding because the TLD
"can be confused with file extensions". This is a false positive for
legitimate production APIs (e.g. api.example.app, lark.app).
Add _is_app_tld_finding() and a post-parse suppression block in
check_command_security(): if the only finding(s) on a warn verdict are
lookalike_tld entries for .app, downgrade the action to allow.
Mixed findings (e.g. .app + shortened_url) and block verdicts are
unaffected. Non-.app lookalike_tld findings (.zip, .exe, etc.) are
preserved.
Add 15 regression tests covering: .app-only suppression, mixed-finding
preservation, non-.app TLD preservation, block-verdict invariance, and
the helper's field-name and case-insensitivity behaviour.
Closes#24461
The agent can now produce a chart, PDF, spreadsheet, or any other supported
file type and have it land in Slack / Discord / Telegram / WhatsApp / etc.
as a native attachment, just by mentioning the absolute path in its
response. Same primitive works for kanban-worker completions: workers
attach artifacts via kanban_complete(artifacts=[...]) and the gateway
notifier uploads them alongside the completion message.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/base.py: extract_local_files now covers PDFs, docx,
spreadsheets (xlsx/csv/json/yaml), presentations (pptx), archives
(zip/tar/gz), audio (mp3/wav/...), and html — not just images and video.
Image/video extensions still embed inline; everything else routes to
send_document via the existing dispatch partition in gateway/run.py.
- tools/kanban_tools.py + hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: kanban_complete gains
an explicit ``artifacts`` parameter. The handler stashes it in
metadata.artifacts (for downstream workers) and the kernel promotes
it onto the completed-event payload so the notifier can find it
without a second SQL round-trip.
- gateway/run.py: _kanban_notifier_watcher now calls a new helper
_deliver_kanban_artifacts after sending the completion text. The
helper reads payload.artifacts (preferred), falls back to scanning
the payload summary and task.result with extract_local_files, then
partitions images / videos / documents and uploads each via
send_multiple_images / send_video / send_document.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/deliverable-mode.md + sidebars.ts:
user-facing docs page covering the extension list, the kanban
artifacts pattern, and the MCP-for-connector-breadth recommendation.
Tests:
- tests/gateway/test_extract_local_files.py: 7 new test cases
(documents, spreadsheets, presentations, audio, archives, html,
chart-pdf canonical case). 44 passing, 0 regressions.
- tests/tools/test_kanban_tools.py: 4 new cases covering the artifacts
arg shape (list / string / merge with existing metadata / type
rejection). 17 passing.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 2 new cases covering full
notifier → artifact-upload path and missing-file silent-skip. 12
passing.
- E2E (real files, real kanban kernel, real BasePlatformAdapter):
worker calls kanban_complete(artifacts=[png,pdf,csv]) → metadata +
event payload land → notifier helper partitions correctly →
send_multiple_images called once with the PNG, send_document called
twice with PDF + CSV.
What's NOT in this PR (deferred to follow-ups):
- Ad-hoc "research this for two hours, ping the thread when done"
slash command — covered today by kanban subscriptions; a dedicated
slash command can ride a follow-up PR if needed.
- Setup-wizard prompt for recommended MCP servers (Notion, GitHub,
Linear, etc.) — docs page lists them; UI is a separate change.

* feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM
Replaces the LLM-summarized session_search with a single-shape tool that
returns actual messages from the DB. Three calling shapes inferred from
args (no mode parameter):
1. Discovery — pass query. FTS5 + anchored ±5 window + bookends per hit,
all in one call. ~20ms on a real DB instead of ~90s for the previous
three aux-LLM calls.
2. Scroll — pass session_id + around_message_id. Returns a window
centered on the anchor. To paginate, re-anchor on the first/last id
of the returned window. Boundary message appears in both windows
as the orientation marker. ~1ms per scroll call.
3. Browse — no args. Recent sessions chronologically.
Bookend_start (first 3 user+assistant msgs) and bookend_end (last 3) give
the agent goal + resolution on every discovery hit, so a single tool call
reconstructs a long session's arc without loading the whole transcript.
The aux-LLM summary path is gone: it cost ~$0.30/call, took ~30s, and
laundered FTS5 hits through a model that could confabulate when the right
session wasn't in the hit list. The merged shape returns byte-for-byte
content from SQLite.
History:
- PR #20238 (JabberELF) seeded the fast/summary dual-mode split.
- PR #26419 (yoniebans) expanded to fast/guided/summary with bookends,
multi-anchor drill-down, default-mode config, and a teaching skill.
This PR collapses that toolkit into one shape with explicit scroll
support, drops the summary path, drops the mode parameter, drops the
config knob, drops the skill. JabberELF's seed work is acknowledged via
the AUTHOR_MAP entry.
Validation:
- 38/38 tool tests pass (tests/tools/test_session_search.py)
- 12/12 get_messages_around tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- 11/11 get_anchored_view tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- Full tests/tools/ run: 5168 passing, 2 failures pre-exist on main
(test ordering in test_delegate.py, unrelated)
- E2E against live state DB: discovery 20ms, scroll 1ms, browse 280ms;
pagination forward+backward works with boundary-message orientation;
error paths return clean tool_error responses

* chore(session_search): prune dead LLM-summary config and docs
Companion to the single-shape rewrite. The auxiliary.session_search config
block, max_concurrency / extra_body tunables, and matching docs sections
all referenced the removed LLM summarization path. Removing them so users
don't try to tune knobs that nothing reads.
- hermes_cli/config.py: drop dead auxiliary.session_search block from
DEFAULT_CONFIG. Leftover keys in user config.yaml are harmless and
ignored.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: drop two tips referencing the removed
max_concurrency / extra_body knobs.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: drop 'Session Search Tuning'
section and the auxiliary.session_search block from the example.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: drop session_search
rows from the auxiliary-tasks tables and the dedicated tuning subsection.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md: rewrite the session_search
entry to describe the new three-shape behaviour.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: update the file-tree description.
- tests/tools/test_llm_content_none_guard.py: remove TestSessionSearchContentNone
class and test_session_search_tool_guarded — both guard against an
unguarded .content.strip() call site in _summarize_session() that no
longer exists.
Validation: 97/97 targeted tests still pass (hermes_state + session_search +
llm_content_none_guard). Config tests 55/55.

xAI's /responses endpoint rejects pattern and format JSON Schema keywords
in tool schemas with HTTP 400 'Invalid arguments passed to the model'.
The existing strip_pattern_and_format() only walked OpenAI-format tools
({'function': {'parameters': ...}}), missing Responses-format shapes
({'name': ..., 'parameters': ...}) used by codex_responses API mode.
This shows up most often with MCP-derived tools that carry validation
keywords (e.g. domain pattern regex in firecrawl, format: date-time)
through to the wire.
Extends the walk to handle both shapes. Auto-strip wiring is applied
separately in chat_completion_helpers (post-refactor location).
Closes#27197
Addresses reviewer feedback: when resolve_runtime_provider returns a dict
without the 'provider' key, the result must be None regardless of
configured_provider. This guards against malformed runtime responses.
Test: test_runtime_missing_provider_key_returns_none
Named custom providers (e.g. crof.ai) resolve to provider='custom' at the
runtime level, causing subagents to lose their intended provider identity.
On retry/fallback, resolve_provider_client('custom', model=...) searches all
providers advertising that model and picks non-deterministically, routing to
Z.AI or Bailian instead of the configured target.
The fix preserves configured_provider when runtime['provider'] == 'custom',
restoring the original provider name so routing stays correct through retries.
Adds a named constant _RUNTIME_PROVIDER_CUSTOM instead of a magic string.
Adds three regression tests:
- test_named_custom_provider_preserves_provider_name: the #26954 case
- test_standard_provider_not_overwritten_by_configured_name: openrouter/nous
must still return their own identity, not the configured name
- test_custom_provider_with_empty_configured_provider_falls_back_to_runtime:
empty provider triggers the early-return None path as before
Addresses findings from two self-review passes pre-merge.
First pass (3-agent parallel review):
1. plugins/browser/browser_use/provider.py: drop the
``_ = managed_nous_tools_enabled`` dead-import-hider in
_get_config_or_none(). The import was actively misleading — the
helper IS used in _get_config() (separate method, separate import),
not here. The "keep static analysis happy" comment was wrong about
what the helper does in this scope.
2. agent/browser_provider.py: drop ``pragma: no cover`` from
is_configured() / provider_name() backward-compat aliases. They ARE
covered by ``TestLegacyAbcAliases`` — the pragma would have masked
future regressions.
3. tools/browser_tool.py: refactor _is_legacy_provider_registry_overridden()
to compare against a module-frozen _DEFAULT_PROVIDER_REGISTRY snapshot
instead of hardcoded set of 3 keys. Future maintainers adding a 4th
built-in provider now just extend _PROVIDER_REGISTRY; the override
detection adapts automatically. Previously the hardcoded
``set(...) != {"browserbase", "browser-use", "firecrawl"}`` would flip
True forever on any 4-key registry, silently routing every install
onto the legacy fixture path.
4. tools/browser_tool.py: when explicit ``browser.cloud_provider`` is set
but the registry has no matching plugin (typo, uninstalled plugin,
discovery failure), emit a WARNING with actionable text instead of
silently falling through to auto-detect. Legacy code surfaced a typed
credentials error via direct class instantiation; this log restores
the signal in the post-migration path.
5. agent/browser_registry.py: trim the triple-redundant _LEGACY_PREFERENCE
documentation. Module docstring + 13-line block-comment + 5-line
inline comment was repeating the same point. Kept the docstring and
trimmed the block-comment to 5 lines.
6. agent/browser_registry.py: upgrade is_available()-raised logging from
DEBUG to WARNING with exc_info=True. A provider's availability check
throwing is unusual enough that users debugging "no cloud provider"
need the traceback in logs.
7. tests/plugins/browser/check_parity_vs_main.py: drop dead top-level
imports (os, shutil, tempfile — only referenced inside the
SUBPROCESS_SCRIPT string literal that runs in a child process).
Second pass (architecture + claim-verification review):
8. tools/browser_tool.py: rewrite the inline comment in _get_cloud_provider
auto-detect branch. Prior text claimed it "routes through the plugin
registry's legacy preference walk so third-party plugins still get a
chance to be selected when they're explicitly configured" — false on
both counts. The branch uses module-level legacy class aliases
(BrowserUseProvider / BrowserbaseProvider) directly; third-party
plugins are intentionally reachable only via explicit
``browser.cloud_provider``. Corrected comment now matches behaviour
and cross-references _LEGACY_PREFERENCE for the firecrawl gate
rationale.
9. tools/browser_tool.py + tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py:
drop the unused ``get_active_browser_provider as
_registry_get_active_browser_provider`` alias from the
``from agent.browser_registry import ...`` block. It was never
referenced; matching test-stub line in the agent.browser_registry
SimpleNamespace also dropped. ``get_provider`` is still imported (used
by the explicit-config dispatch path at line 535).
10. plugins/browser/firecrawl/provider.py: align emergency_cleanup()
with the early-guard pattern used in browserbase + browser_use
plugins. Previously firecrawl tried the DELETE and relied on
``_headers()`` raising ValueError to trip a "missing credentials"
warning; same final outcome but a different control flow that read
like a bug to a maintainer skimming the three modules. Now: if
is_available() is False, log+return early — identical shape to the
other two providers.
Verification: 54/54 unit tests + 13/13 parity scenarios still pass.
The four files in tools/browser_providers/ (base.py, browserbase.py,
browser_use.py, firecrawl.py) have been migrated into
plugins/browser/<vendor>/provider.py over the previous commits. No
in-tree code references them anymore — the legacy class names
(BrowserbaseProvider / BrowserUseProvider / FirecrawlProvider) are
re-exported from tools.browser_tool as aliases to the plugin classes,
so existing test patches keep working.
Updates tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py:
- Adds _load_plugin_module() helper next to _load_tool_module().
- Reroutes five _load_tool_module('tools.browser_providers.X', ...)
calls to _load_plugin_module('plugins.browser.X.provider', ...).
- Renames BrowserbaseProvider/BrowserUseProvider -> the new plugin
class names (BrowserbaseBrowserProvider / BrowserUseBrowserProvider).
- Updates is_configured() -> is_available() on the one assertion that
cared about the rename (the others stay on is_configured() via the
BrowserProvider ABC's backward-compat alias).
Net diff: -630 / +39 lines (tests + dead-code deletion). Verified
23/23 tests in test_browser_cloud_*.py + test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py
still pass.
Closes the file-tree mismatch portion of #25214. Remaining work:
new plugin-level test coverage under tests/plugins/browser/, behaviour
parity subprocess sweep vs origin/main, and full tests/tools/ regression
sweep before opening the PR.
Switches tools.browser_tool's cloud-provider lookup from the hardcoded
_PROVIDER_REGISTRY class-instantiation pattern to the
agent.browser_registry singleton registry that plugins self-populate.
Changes:
- tools/browser_tool.py top imports: pull BrowserProvider from
agent.browser_provider (re-exported as CloudBrowserProvider for legacy
callers) and the three provider classes from plugins/browser/<vendor>/.
Legacy class names (BrowserbaseProvider, BrowserUseProvider, FirecrawlProvider)
remain on tools.browser_tool as re-export shims so existing test patches
(monkeypatch.setattr(browser_tool, 'BrowserUseProvider', ...)) keep working.
- _get_cloud_provider() now consults agent.browser_registry.get_provider()
for explicit-config lookups. The auto-detect fallback still uses
BrowserUseProvider() / BrowserbaseProvider() at the module level so the
cache-policy test fixtures (which patch those names) keep driving the
function. Test-time _PROVIDER_REGISTRY overrides are detected by class
identity and routed through the legacy factory-call path.
- agent/browser_provider.py: BrowserProvider grows is_configured() and
provider_name() as thin backward-compat aliases for the legacy
CloudBrowserProvider API. Subclasses MUST implement is_available() and
name; the aliases delegate. This keeps ~6 caller sites in browser_tool.py
working without churning them.
- tests/tools/test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py: _install_fake_tools_package
grows stubs for agent.browser_provider / agent.browser_registry /
plugins.browser.<vendor>.provider so the test's spec-loader path
(sys.modules-reset + reload-tool-from-disk) can satisfy tools.browser_tool's
top-level imports.
Verified: all 23 existing tests in test_browser_cloud_*.py +
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py still pass post-cutover.
The legacy tools/browser_providers/ directory is NOT yet deleted; several
tests still _load_tool_module() those files via spec_from_file_location.
The deletion + test-path updates land in a later commit.
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical `x in (...)` → `x in {...}` fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- `ruff check` clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).
When Hermes runs on a remote host over SSH, MCP OAuth loopback flows
silently fail: the OAuth provider redirects the user's browser to
http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback, which reaches the callback server
on the *remote* machine — not the local machine where the browser is
running.
_redirect_handler already detected SSH (via _can_open_browser) and
printed "Headless environment detected — open the URL manually." but
gave no guidance on how to actually reach the callback server. Users
got silent timeouts or "Could not establish connection" errors.
This is the same bug fixed for xAI-oauth and Spotify in #26592, which
added _print_loopback_ssh_hint() in hermes_cli/auth.py. mcp_oauth.py
uses the identical loopback callback pattern (http://127.0.0.1:<port>/callback
via _configure_callback_port / _wait_for_callback) but was missing the hint.
Fix: when SSH_CLIENT or SSH_TTY is set and _oauth_port is available,
print the ssh -N -L port-forward command and the OAuth-over-SSH guide
URL to stderr, consistent with the rest of _redirect_handler's output.
Tests: 4 new cases in TestRedirectHandlerSshHint covering SSH_CLIENT,
SSH_TTY, local session (no hint), and missing _oauth_port (no hint).
Port from anomalyco/opencode#25019 ("fix: handle invalid mcp urls").
Previously: a typo in `config.yaml` (missing scheme, wrong scheme,
empty string, non-string value) slipped past `_is_http()` and hit
`httpx.URL(url)` or `streamablehttp_client(url, ...)` deep in the
transport layer. That raised a generic exception which went through
the reconnect-backoff loop, so a bad URL caused _MAX_INITIAL_CONNECT_RETRIES
attempts with doubling backoff — about a minute of pointless retries
plus an opaque error — before the server was marked failed.
Now: we validate the URL once, at the top of `run()`, before
entering the retry loop. A malformed URL raises `InvalidMcpUrlError`
(a `ValueError` subclass) with a message that names the offending
server and explains exactly what was wrong. `_ready` is set and
`_error` is populated, so `start()` re-raises and the server shows
up as failed in `hermes mcp list` without any backoff burn.
Validation rules:
- Must be a string (rejects None, dict, int)
- Must be non-empty (rejects '' and whitespace-only)
- Scheme must be http or https (rejects file://, ws://, stdio://)
- Must have a non-empty host (rejects http:///, http://:8080)
Tests (21 new cases in tests/tools/test_mcp_invalid_url.py):
- TestValidUrlsAccepted: http, https, IPv6, ports, paths, query strings
- TestInvalidUrlsRejected: every rejection path above + clear error text
- TestErrorIsValueError: downstream code catching ValueError still works
E2E verified: a misconfigured server with `url: not-a-valid-url`
now fails in <0.001s with the clear error, instead of minutes of retries.
Doesn't touch stdio servers (they use `command`, not `url`) — the
validator only fires when `_is_http()` returns True.
Port three hardening patches from Claude Code 2.1.113's expanded deny
rules to hermes' detect_dangerous_command() pattern list.
1. macOS /private/{etc,var,tmp,home} system paths
/etc, /var, /tmp, /home are symlinks to /private/<name> on macOS.
A write to /private/etc/sudoers works identically to /etc/sudoers
but bypassed the plain /etc/ pattern check. Extracted a shared
_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH fragment so /etc/ and the /private/ mirror
stay in sync across redirect / tee / cp / mv / install / sed -i
patterns.
2. killall -9 / -KILL / -SIGKILL / -s KILL / -r <regex>
Parallel to the existing pkill -9 pattern. killall -9 against
non-hermes processes was previously unprotected, and killall -r
can sweep unrelated processes matching a regex.
3. find -execdir rm
Same destructive effect as find -exec rm but ran in each match's
directory. The previous pattern required a literal '-exec ' so
-execdir slipped through.
Guarded by 32 new test cases in 4 test classes:
- TestMacOSPrivateSystemPaths (11 cases)
- TestKillallKillSignals (9 cases)
- TestFindExecdir (4 cases)
- TestEtcPatternsUnaffectedByRefactor (6 regression guards on
the existing /etc/ coverage after the _SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH refactor)
Inspiration: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases
(Claude Code 2.1.113, April 17 2026 - "Enhanced deny rules" and
"Dangerous path protection")
Port from openai/codex#17667: MCP servers can now opt-in to parallel
tool execution by setting supports_parallel_tool_calls: true in their
config. This allows tools from the same server to run concurrently
within a single tool-call batch, matching the behavior already available
for built-in tools like web_search and read_file.
Previously all MCP tools were forced sequential because they weren't in
the _PARALLEL_SAFE_TOOLS set. Now _should_parallelize_tool_batch checks
is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() which looks up the server's config flag.
Config example:
mcp_servers:
docs:
command: "docs-server"
supports_parallel_tool_calls: true
Changes:
- tools/mcp_tool.py: Track parallel-safe servers in _parallel_safe_servers
set, populated during register_mcp_servers(). Add is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe()
public API.
- run_agent.py: Add _is_mcp_tool_parallel_safe() lazy-import wrapper. Update
_should_parallelize_tool_batch() to check MCP tools against server config.
- 11 new tests covering the feature end-to-end.
- Updated MCP docs and config reference.
Subagent delegation hardcoded api_mode='chat_completions' for any
delegation.base_url that didn't match three specific hostnames
(chatgpt.com, api.anthropic.com, api.kimi.com/coding), and never
read delegation.api_mode from config. Azure AI Foundry's
https://foundry.services.ai.azure.com/anthropic endpoint fell through
and got chat_completions, causing 404s on every delegate_task call.
The main agent already handles this correctly via the shared
_detect_api_mode_for_url() helper (anything ending in /anthropic →
anthropic_messages); delegation reimplemented its own narrower check.
Reuse the shared detector and honor an explicit delegation.api_mode
when set so users can also force the transport on non-standard
endpoints the URL heuristic can't classify.
Fixes#10213.

* feat(x_search): gated X (Twitter) search tool with OAuth-or-API-key auth
Salvages tools/x_search_tool.py from the closed PR #10786 (originally by
@Jaaneek) and reworks its credential resolution so the tool registers
when EITHER xAI credential path is available:
* XAI_API_KEY (paid xAI API key) is set in ~/.hermes/.env or the env, OR
* The user is signed in via xAI Grok OAuth — SuperGrok subscription —
i.e. hermes auth add xai-oauth has been run
Both paths route through xAI's built-in x_search Responses tool at
https://api.x.ai/v1/responses. When both credentials exist OAuth wins,
matching tools/xai_http.py's existing preference order (uses SuperGrok
quota instead of paid API spend).
The check_fn calls resolve_xai_http_credentials() which auto-refreshes
the OAuth access token if it's within the refresh skew window, so a
True return means the bearer is fetchable AND non-empty.
Wiring
- tools/x_search_tool.py — new tool, ~370 LOC. Schema gated by check_fn,
bearer resolved per-call so revoked OAuth surfaces a clean tool_error
rather than an HTTP 401.
- toolsets.py — "x_search" toolset def. NOT added to _HERMES_CORE_TOOLS;
users opt in via hermes tools.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS entry + TOOL_CATEGORIES
block with two provider options (OAuth + API key) sharing the existing
xai_grok post_setup hook for credential bootstrap.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG["x_search"] with model /
timeout_seconds / retries. Additive nested key; no version bump.
- tests/tools/test_x_search_tool.py — 13 tests covering HTTP shape,
handle validation, citation extraction, 4xx/5xx/timeout handling,
and the full credential-resolution matrix (OAuth-only, API-key-only,

Tirith ships no Windows binary, so on every Windows CLI startup users
saw a scary 'tirith security scanner enabled but not available' banner
they could not act on. The banner suggested degraded security; in
reality pattern-matching guards still run and the message was pure noise.
Fix:
- New public is_platform_supported() helper in tools/tirith_security.py
that returns False when _detect_target() doesn't resolve (Windows, any
non-x86_64/aarch64 arch).
- ensure_installed(), _resolve_tirith_path(), and check_command_security()
short-circuit on unsupported platforms: cache _resolved_path =
_INSTALL_FAILED with reason 'unsupported_platform', skip PATH probes,
skip the background download thread, skip the disk failure marker, and
return allow with an empty summary from check_command_security so the
spawn loop never fires.
- Explicit user-configured tirith_path is still honored everywhere (a
user who built tirith themselves under WSL keeps that path).
- CLI banner in cli.py gated on is_platform_supported() — fires only on
platforms where tirith *should* work but isn't installed.
- Docs note tirith's supported-platform list and point Windows users at
WSL.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py +8 tests covering Linux
x86_64, Darwin arm64, Windows, and unknown-arch verdicts plus the
silent ensure_installed / check_command_security / _resolve_tirith_path
fast-paths and the explicit-path override.
test_tirith_security.py 75 passed (8 new + 67 pre-existing)
test_command_guards.py 19 passed
Two log-spam fixes surfaced by a Windows user (Git Bash + Python 3.11.9):
1. LocalEnvironment cwd warn spam
============================
Git Bash's `pwd -P` emits paths like `/c/Users/x`. The base-class
`_extract_cwd_from_output` was assigning this verbatim to `self.cwd`
without validation, then `_resolve_safe_cwd`'s `os.path.isdir(/c/...)`
returned False on Windows, triggering:
LocalEnvironment cwd '/c/Users/NVIDIA' is missing on disk;
falling back to '/' so terminal commands keep working.
...on every terminal call. The pre-existing Windows-path translation
inside `_run_bash` ran AFTER the safe-cwd check, so it could never
prevent the warning.
Fix:
- New `_msys_to_windows_path` helper (idempotent, no-op off Windows).
- `_resolve_safe_cwd` normalizes before `isdir`, so a valid MSYS path
is recognized as the real directory it points at.
- `LocalEnvironment._update_cwd` and a new override of
`_extract_cwd_from_output` translate + validate before mutating
`self.cwd`. Stale / non-existent marker paths roll back to the
previous cwd instead of clobbering it.
- The fallback warning still fires when the directory really is gone
(deletion-recovery scenario from #17558 still covered).
2. tirith spawn-failed warn spam
=============================
When tirith isn't installed (background install in flight, or marked
failed for the day) and the configured path stays as the bare string
`tirith`, every `subprocess.run([tirith_path, ...])` raises OSError
and logged:
tirith spawn failed: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
...on every command. fail_open=True means behaviour is correct, but
the log noise is severe.
Fix:
- `_warn_once(key, ...)` thread-safe dedupe helper.
- Three hot-path warnings (`tirith path resolved to None`,
`tirith spawn failed: ...`, `tirith timed out after Ns`) now log
once per (exception class, errno) / timeout-value / path-none key.
- Dedupe set is cleared on `_clear_install_failed` so a successful
install lets a subsequent failure surface again.
Tests
=====
- `tests/tools/test_local_env_windows_msys.py`: 12 tests covering the
MSYS→Windows translator, the resolve fast-path, update_cwd validation,
and extract_cwd_from_output rollback.
- `tests/tools/test_tirith_security.py`: 4 new dedupe tests (15 spawn
failures → 1 log line; distinct exc types → 2 lines; timeout dedupe;
path-None dedupe).
Targeted runs:
test_local_env_windows_msys.py 12 passed
test_local_env_cwd_recovery.py 7 passed (pre-existing, no regressions)
test_tirith_security.py 67 passed (63 pre-existing + 4 new)
test_base_environment + local_* 37 passed (no regressions)
test_local_env_blocklist + neighbours 114 passed
Reported via Hermes log capture: 19× cwd warnings + 15× tirith warnings
in a single short session.
Wraps every sync->async coroutine-scheduling site in the codebase with a
new agent.async_utils.safe_schedule_threadsafe() helper that closes the
coroutine on scheduling failure (closed loop, shutdown race, etc.)
instead of leaking it as 'coroutine was never awaited' RuntimeWarnings
plus reference leaks.
22 production call sites migrated across the codebase:
- acp_adapter/events.py, acp_adapter/permissions.py
- agent/lsp/manager.py
- cron/scheduler.py (media + text delivery paths)
- gateway/platforms/feishu.py (5 sites, via existing _submit_on_loop helper
which now delegates to safe_schedule_threadsafe)
- gateway/run.py (10 sites: telegram rename, agent:step hook, status
callback, interim+bg-review, clarify send, exec-approval button+text,
temp-bubble cleanup, channel-directory refresh)
- plugins/memory/hindsight, plugins/platforms/google_chat
- tools/browser_supervisor.py (3), browser_cdp_tool.py,
computer_use/cua_backend.py, slash_confirm.py
- tools/environments/modal.py (_AsyncWorker)
- tools/mcp_tool.py (2 + 8 _run_on_mcp_loop callers converted to
factory-style so the coroutine is never constructed on a dead loop)
- tui_gateway/ws.py
Tests: new tests/agent/test_async_utils.py covers helper behavior under
live loop, dead loop, None loop, and scheduling exceptions. Regression
tests added at three PR-original sites (acp events, acp permissions,
mcp loop runner) mirroring contributor's intent.
Live-tested end-to-end:
- Helper stress test: 1500 schedules across live/dead/race scenarios,
zero leaked coroutines
- Race exercised: 5000 schedules with loop killed mid-flight, 100 ok /
4900 None returns, zero leaks
- hermes chat -q with terminal tool call (exercises step_callback bridge)
- MCP probe against failing subprocess servers + factory path
- Real gateway daemon boot + SIGINT shutdown across multiple platform
adapter inits
- WSTransport 100 live + 50 dead-loop writes
- Cron delivery path live + dead loop
Salvages PR #2657 — adopts contributor's intent over a much wider site
list and a single centralized helper instead of inline try/except at
each site. 3 of the original PR's 6 sites no longer exist on main
(environments/patches.py deleted, DingTalk refactored to native async);
the equivalent fix lives in tools/environments/modal.py instead.

Build on @aydnOktay's cronjob fix by routing the cronjob check through
the shared 'env_var_enabled' helper in utils.py (same truthy set:
1/true/yes/on) and applying the same semantics to the 8 sibling call
sites that read HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK / HERMES_CRON_SESSION with bare os.getenv() truthy
checks:
- tools/approval.py: _is_gateway_approval_context (2), check_command_safety (2),
check_all_command_guards (3) -- 7 sites total
- tools/terminal_tool.py: _handle_sudo_failure, sudo password prompt -- 2 sites
- tools/skills_tool.py: _is_gateway_surface -- 1 site
Without this, a user who exports HERMES_INTERACTIVE=0 in their shell
still gets interactive sudo prompts, approval prompts, and gateway
skill-install paths -- only the cronjob tool was hardened. Now all
consumers agree on the same false-like values.
Also drops the duplicate _is_truthy_env helper from cronjob_tools.py
in favour of the existing canonical utils.env_var_enabled.
Tests: extend the parametrized regression coverage to all three
session env vars (HERMES_INTERACTIVE / HERMES_GATEWAY_SESSION /
HERMES_EXEC_ASK) symmetrically. tests/tools/test_cronjob_tools.py:
60/60 pass; tests/tools/{approval,terminal_tool,skills_tool,
cron_approval_mode,hardline_blocklist}.py: 378/378 pass.
The new resolve_xai_http_credentials() resolver was using os.getenv()
for the XAI_API_KEY/XAI_BASE_URL fallback path, which dropped the
~/.hermes/.env contract guarded by PR #17140 / #17163. Users with
XAI_API_KEY in dotenv only would see "No xAI credentials found" even
though the key was configured.
Separately, _transcribe_xai started consulting creds["base_url"] (which
always returns at least the default https://api.x.ai/v1) ahead of the
public XAI_STT_BASE_URL env override, so the per-tool override stopped
working.
- tools/xai_http.py: add module-level get_env_value() wrapper that
reads ~/.hermes/.env first (via hermes_cli.config.get_env_value),
then os.environ. Resolver uses it for the API-key/base-url fallback.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: restore precedence so XAI_STT_BASE_URL
wins over creds["base_url"].
- tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py +
tests/tools/test_tts_dotenv_fallback.py: repoint the per-call-site
patches at the new resolution point (tools.xai_http.get_env_value).
The end-to-end regression-guard test (which patches load_env) is
unchanged and still passes.
When the in-tree FAL path has no API key (and no managed gateway), the
handler used to return a bare 'FAL_KEY environment variable not set'
error. Users had no idea where to get a key, that a managed Nous
gateway exists, or that plugin-registered providers are an option.
Now `image_generate_tool` returns a structured multi-line message:
- signup link (https://fal.ai)
- managed-gateway status (if Nous tools are enabled)
- pointer to `hermes tools` / `hermes plugins list` for alternate
backends, so users on a stale `image_gen.provider` know where to look
The schema is untouched — `check_fn` still gates the tool out of the
schema when no backend is reachable at startup, consistent with every
other conditional tool. This patch fixes the call-time failure modes:
managed-gateway 5xx, plugin provider disappearing mid-session, etc.
Inspired by #2546 / @Mibayy. The PR was ~5700 commits stale against
the new plugin-aware image_gen architecture, so this is a forward port
of the actionable-error idea rather than a cherry-pick.
Closes#2543

Pyproject's [all] extra was slimmed down in May 2026 — ~20 optional
backends moved to tools/lazy_deps.py and only install on first use.
hermes update runs uv pip install -e .[all] which doesn't touch any of
them, so pin bumps in LAZY_DEPS (CVE response, transitive fixes) were
silently ignored on already-activated backends.
Two changes:
1. _is_satisfied() now parses the spec and checks the installed version
against the constraint via packaging.specifiers. Previously it
returned True the moment the package name was importable, which made
ensure() a name-presence gate rather than a version-pin gate.
2. New active_features() / refresh_active_features() pair: lists every
feature with at least one of its packages currently installed, then
re-runs ensure() on each. Refresh is invoked at the end of
_cmd_update_impl, right after the [all] install completes. Cold
backends (never activated) stay quiet — no churn for them.
Output during update is one summary block:
→ Refreshing 4 active lazy backend(s)...
↑ 1 refreshed: provider.anthropic
✓ 3 already current
or
⚠ memory.honcho failed to refresh: <pip stderr>
Failures never raise out of update — backends keep their previously-
installed version and we tell the user to rerun once upstream is fixed.
security.allow_lazy_installs=false is honored: features get marked
"skipped" with the reason shown.
Tests: 18 new unit tests covering version-aware satisfaction (exact pin,
range, extras blocks, missing package, malformed spec), active feature
discovery, and refresh status reporting. All 61 lazy_deps tests pass.
Surfaced by local E2E behavior-parity testing of PR vs origin/main: the
plugin-migrated dispatchers were quietly changing the error envelope
shape returned to function-calling models on unconfigured systems.
Two findings, both from per-result error wrapping bleeding into the
pre-flight configuration error path:
1. **search**: ``firecrawl.search()`` caught the
``ValueError("Web tools are not configured...")`` from
``_get_firecrawl_client()`` and returned it as
``{"success": False, "error": ...}``, losing the legacy
``{"error": "Error searching web: ..."}`` envelope that
``tool_error()`` emits on main. Models that special-case the
``error`` key still detect the failure, but the prefix is part of
the legacy contract some users rely on.
2. **crawl**: ``firecrawl.crawl()`` caught the same pre-flight
``ValueError`` and wrapped it as a per-page error inside
``results[0]``. Main short-circuits on ``check_firecrawl_api_key()``
BEFORE dispatching, so its unconfigured response is
``{"success": False, "error": "web_crawl requires Firecrawl..."}``
at the top level. The PR's per-page burying hid the failure inside
``results[]`` where models that check ``result.get("error")`` would
miss it.
Fix:
- ``plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py``: pull
``_get_firecrawl_client()`` outside the broad ``try`` in
``search()``. Pre-flight ``ValueError`` / ``ImportError`` propagate
to the dispatcher's top-level exception handler. In-flight SDK
errors still get wrapped as ``{"success": False, ...}``.
- ``tools/web_tools.py``: mirror main's upstream availability gate in
``web_crawl_tool``. When the resolved crawl provider is
``is_available()==False``, short-circuit BEFORE dispatching with the
same top-level error shape main emits.
- ``tests/tools/test_web_providers.py``: 2 regression tests
(``TestUnconfiguredErrorEnvelopeParity``) lock in the behavior so
future plugin work can't undo this.
Verified via local subprocess-based parity test (14/14 scenarios match
origin/main shape exactly) and full 210/210 web test suite green.
The web-provider migration originally left firecrawl crawl as the only
provider-specific code remaining inline in tools/web_tools.py (~250
lines of Firecrawl-specific crawl orchestration that didn't fit the
plugin's existing surface). This commit closes that gap.
What this adds
--------------
1. plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py: implement async ``crawl(url, **kwargs)``
- Accepts the same kwargs as the dispatcher passes to any crawl
provider (``instructions``, ``depth``, ``limit``); Firecrawl's
/crawl endpoint ignores ``instructions`` and ``depth`` so we log
and drop with a clear info message.
- Wraps the sync SDK ``crawl()`` call in asyncio.to_thread so the
gateway event loop isn't blocked on a multi-page crawl.
- Preserves the response-shape normalization across pydantic /
typed-object / dict variants that the legacy inline code did.
- Preserves per-page website-policy re-check (catches blocked
redirects after the SDK returns).
- Returns the same {"results": [...]} shape so the dispatcher's
shared LLM-summarization post-processing path works unchanged.
- Sets supports_crawl() to True so the dispatcher routes through
the plugin instead of the legacy fallthrough.
2. tools/web_tools.py: delete the entire legacy firecrawl crawl block
that used to run after "No registered provider supports crawl" —
~270 lines including:
- check_firecrawl_api_key gate + typed error
- inline SSRF + website-policy seed-URL gate (dispatcher already
does this)
- Firecrawl client setup with crawl_params
- 100+ lines of pydantic/dict/typed-object normalization
- Per-page LLM-processing loop (kept in the dispatcher's shared
post-processing path; that's where it always belonged)
- trimming + base64 image cleanup (still done in the dispatcher's
shared path)
Replaced with a single typed-error branch when no crawl-capable
provider is available: "web_crawl has no available backend. Set
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY (or FIRECRAWL_API_URL for self-hosted), or set
TAVILY_API_KEY for Tavily."
Test updates
------------
- tests/tools/test_website_policy.py:
- test_web_crawl_short_circuits_blocked_url: dispatcher seed-URL
gate still runs on web_tools.check_website_access (no change to
that patch), but the firecrawl client lockdown moved to the
plugin module — patch firecrawl_provider._get_firecrawl_client
instead of web_tools._get_firecrawl_client. The dispatcher
short-circuits before the plugin runs, so the test still passes.
- test_web_crawl_blocks_redirected_final_url: patch the per-page
policy gate at plugins.web.firecrawl.provider.check_website_access
(where it now runs) AND on web_tools (where the seed-URL gate
still runs). Patch firecrawl_provider._get_firecrawl_client for
the FakeCrawlClient injection. Both checks flow through the same
fake_check function.
- tests/plugins/web/test_web_search_provider_plugins.py:
- Update parametrized capability-flag spec: firecrawl supports_crawl
is now True.
- Add test_firecrawl_crawl_returns_error_dict_when_unconfigured —
verifies inspect.iscoroutinefunction(p.crawl) is True and that
the async crawl returns a per-page error dict (not a raise) when
FIRECRAWL_API_KEY is missing.
Verified
--------
- 218/218 web tests pass (was 173, +44 plugin tests + 1 new firecrawl
crawl test from this commit = 218 with the test deduplication).
- Compile-clean (py_compile passes on both files).
- Provider capabilities matrix confirmed end-to-end:
name search extract crawl async-extract? async-crawl?
firecrawl True True True True True
tavily True True True False False
Both crawl-capable providers exercise the dispatcher's
inspect.iscoroutinefunction async-or-sync detection.

Removes the legacy in-tree provider scaffolding that PR #25182 fully
replaced with the plugin architecture:
tools/web_providers/__init__.py (6 lines)
tools/web_providers/base.py (89 lines — old ABCs)
tools/web_providers/ARCHITECTURE.md (73 lines — old design doc)
These were the staging-ground ABCs and provider modules that the
plugin migration absorbed. All seven web providers now implement the
single :class:`agent.web_search_provider.WebSearchProvider` ABC and
live under ``plugins/web/<vendor>/``. Nothing else in the tree imports
``tools.web_providers`` — verified via grep before deletion.
Test migration (tests/tools/test_web_providers.py)
--------------------------------------------------
Rewrote ``TestWebProviderABCs`` to test the new unified ABC at
:mod:`agent.web_search_provider`:
- test_cannot_instantiate_abc_directly — abstract ``name`` + ``is_available``
- test_concrete_search_only_provider_works — exercise default
``supports_extract=False`` / ``supports_crawl=False`` flags
- test_concrete_multi_capability_provider_works — exercise all three
capabilities, async extract supported (declared sync here for
simplicity; real plugins like parallel + firecrawl use async)
- test_search_only_provider_skips_extract_and_crawl — verify
``supports_*()`` flags default to False so search-only providers
don't have to implement extract() or crawl()
The 9 other tests in the file (per-capability backend selection,
DEFAULT_CONFIG merge, dispatcher routing) test public helpers in
``tools.web_tools`` that still exist and pass unchanged.
agent/web_search_provider.py docstring updated to reflect that the
legacy ABCs no longer exist; the response-shape contract is preserved
bit-for-bit so external consumers see no behavioral change.
Net diff
--------
- tools/web_providers/ removed (-168 lines)
- tests/tools/test_web_providers.py rewritten ABC section (+78/-30 net,
same coverage, new API)
- agent/web_search_provider.py docstring (-3/+5 lines)
Verified
--------
- 173/173 targeted web tests pass
- 12/12 ABC contract tests pass with the new interface
- No remaining grep hits for ``tools.web_providers`` outside of
intentional historical references in plugin docstrings.
