Closes#8933 more fully, extending the per-tool transform_terminal_output
hook from #12929 to a generic seam that fires after every tool dispatch.
Plugins can rewrite any tool's result string (normalize formats, redact
fields, summarize verbose output) without wrapping individual tools.
Changes
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: add "transform_tool_result" to VALID_HOOKS
- model_tools.py: invoke the hook in handle_function_call after
post_tool_call (which remains observational); first valid str return
replaces the result; fail-open
- tests/test_transform_tool_result_hook.py: 9 new tests covering no-op,
None return, non-string return, first-match wins, kwargs, hook
exception fallback, post_tool_call observation invariant, ordering
vs post_tool_call, and an end-to-end real-plugin integration
- tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py: assert new hook in VALID_HOOKS
- tests/test_model_tools.py: extend the hook-call-sequence assertion
to include the new hook
Design
- transform_tool_result runs AFTER post_tool_call so observers always
see the original (untransformed) result. This keeps post_tool_call's
observational contract.
- transform_terminal_output (from #12929) still runs earlier, inside
terminal_tool, so plugins can canonicalize BEFORE the 50k truncation
drops middle content. Both hooks coexist; they target different layers.
SessionStore.prune_old_entries was calling
self._has_active_processes_fn(entry.session_id) but the callback wired
up in gateway/run.py is process_registry.has_active_for_session, which
compares against session_key, not session_id. Every other caller in
session.py (_is_session_expired, _should_reset) already passes
session_key, so prune was the only outlier — and because session_id and
session_key live in different namespaces, the guard never fired.
Result in production: sessions with live background processes (queued
cron output, detached agents, long-running Bash) were pruned out of
_entries despite the docstring promising they'd be preserved. When the
process finished and tried to deliver output, the session_key to
session_id mapping was gone and the work was effectively orphaned.
Also update the existing test_prune_skips_entries_with_active_processes,
which was checking the wrong interface (its mock callback took session_id
so it agreed with the buggy implementation). The test now uses a
session_key-based mock, matching the production callback's real contract,
and a new regression guard test pins the behaviour.
Swallowed exceptions inside the prune loop now log at debug level instead
of silently disappearing.
Previously, /steer text was only injected after an entire tool batch
completed (_execute_tool_calls_sequential/concurrent returned). If the
batch had a long-running tool (delegate_task, terminal build), the
steer waited for ALL tools to finish before landing — functionally
identical to /queue from the user's perspective.
Now _apply_pending_steer_to_tool_results() is called after EACH
individual tool result is appended to messages, in both the sequential
and concurrent paths. A steer arriving during Tool 1 lands in Tool 1's
result before Tool 2 starts executing.
Also handles leftover steers in the gateway: if a steer arrives during
the final API call (no tool batch to drain into), it's now delivered as
the next user turn instead of being silently dropped.
Fixes user report from Utku.
After a conversation gets compressed, run_agent's _compress_context ends
the parent session and creates a continuation child with the same logical
conversation. Every list affordance in the codebase (list_sessions_rich
with its default include_children=False, plus the CLI/TUI/gateway/ACP
surfaces on top of it) hid those children, and resume-by-ID on the old
root landed on a dead parent with no messages.
Fix: lineage-aware projection on the read path.
- hermes_state.py::get_compression_tip(session_id) — walk the chain
forward using parent.end_reason='compression' AND
child.started_at >= parent.ended_at. The timing guard separates
compression continuations from delegate subagents (which were created
while the parent was still live) without needing a schema migration.
- hermes_state.py::list_sessions_rich — new project_compression_tips
flag (default True). For each compressed root in the result, replace
surfaced fields (id, ended_at, end_reason, message_count,
tool_call_count, title, last_active, preview, model, system_prompt)
with the tip's values. Preserve the root's started_at so chronological
ordering stays stable. Projected rows carry _lineage_root_id for
downstream consumers. Pass False to get raw roots (admin/debug).
- hermes_cli/main.py::_resolve_session_by_name_or_id — project forward
after ID/title resolution, so users who remember an old root ID (from
notes, or from exit summaries produced before the sibling Bug 1 fix)
land on the live tip.
All downstream callers of list_sessions_rich benefit automatically:
- cli.py _list_recent_sessions (/resume, show_history affordance)
- hermes_cli/main.py sessions list / sessions browse
- tui_gateway session.list picker
- gateway/run.py /resume titled session listing
- tools/session_search_tool.py
- acp_adapter/session.py
Tests: 7 new in TestCompressionChainProjection covering full-chain walks,
delegate-child exclusion, tip surfacing with lineage tracking, raw-root
mode, chronological ordering, and broken-chain graceful fallback.
Verified live: ran a real _compress_context on a live Gemini-backed
session, confirmed the DB split, then verified
- db.list_sessions_rich surfaces tip with _lineage_root_id set
- hermes sessions list shows the tip, not the ended parent
- _resolve_session_by_name_or_id(old_root_id) -> tip_id
- _resolve_last_session -> tip_id
Addresses #10373.
On macOS, Unix domain socket paths are capped at 104 bytes (sun_path).
SSH appends a 16-byte random suffix to the ControlPath when operating
in ControlMaster mode. With an IPv6 host embedded literally in the
filename and a deeply-nested macOS $TMPDIR like
/var/folders/XX/YYYYYYYYYYYY/T/, the full path reliably exceeds the
limit — every terminal/file-op tool call then fails immediately with
``unix_listener: path "…" too long for Unix domain socket``.
Swap the ``user@host:port.sock`` filename for a sha256-derived 16-char
hex digest. The digest is deterministic for a given (user, host, port)
triple, so ControlMaster reuse across reconnects is preserved, and the
full path fits comfortably under the limit even after SSH's random
suffix. Collision space is 2^64 — effectively unreachable for the
handful of concurrent connections any single Hermes process holds.
Regression tests cover: path length under realistic macOS $TMPDIR with
the IPv6 host from the issue report, determinism for reconnects, and
distinctness across different (user, host, port) triples.
Closes#11840
Four parametrized cases that pin down the running-agent guard behavior:
/yolo and /verbose dispatch mid-run; /fast and /reasoning get the
"can't run mid-turn" catch-all. Prevents the allowlist from silently
drifting in either direction.
/yolo and /verbose are safe to dispatch while an agent is running:
/yolo can unblock a pending approval prompt, /verbose cycles the
tool-progress display for the ongoing stream. Both modify session
state without needing agent interaction. Previously they fell through
to the running-agent catch-all (PR #12334) and returned the generic
busy message.
/fast and /reasoning stay on the catch-all — their handlers explicitly
say 'takes effect on next message', so nothing is gained by dispatching
them mid-turn.
Salvaged from #10116 (elkimek), scoped down.
Follow-up to #12704. The SignalAdapter can resolve +E164 numbers to
UUIDs via listContacts, but _parse_target_ref() in the send_message
tool rejected '+' as non-digit and fell through to channel-name
resolution — which fails for contacts without a prior session entry.
Adds an E.164 branch in _parse_target_ref for phone-based platforms
(signal, sms, whatsapp) that preserves the leading '+' so downstream
adapters keep the format they expect. Non-phone platforms are
unaffected.
Reported by @qdrop17 on Discord after pulling #12704.
Adds a per-prompt elapsed timer to the CLI status bar (live ⏱ while the
turn runs, frozen ⏲ after completion, resets on next prompt). Fills the
gap left by the KawaiiSpinner — the spinner only shows elapsed time while
actively animating, so it disappears between tool calls and after the
turn finishes. Status bar is always pinned, so users can glance down
and see how long the current/last prompt has been running.
- New instance vars: _prompt_start_time, _prompt_duration
- Timer starts before agent_thread.start() and freezes once the thread
has exited (both interrupt and normal-completion paths)
- _format_prompt_elapsed() formats s/m/h/d with seconds visible at all
scales, trailing zeros hidden on exact boundaries, negative clamp
- Displayed in the wide (>=76 col) status bar as position 7, after the
session duration timer
- Uses width-1 glyphs (⏱/⏲, no variation selector) to stay aligned in
monospace terminals
Follow-up to #12262 — extend final_response_markdown behavior to the other
two final-response Panel render sites (background task completion and /btw
responses) so users see consistent plain-text output everywhere.
Follow-up for #3171 cherry-pick — the contributor's validation block
called get_provider_credentials() which doesn't exist on current main.
Replaces it with get_auth_status() limited to API-key providers in
PROVIDER_REGISTRY so providers without a registry entry (openrouter,
anthropic, custom) don't trigger false 'not authenticated' failures.
Also runs the provider name through resolve_provider() so aliases like
'glm'/'moonshot' validate correctly.
Adds StefanIsMe to AUTHOR_MAP.
Discovered via real user session where hermes doctor missed two failures:
1. OpenRouter HTTP 402 (credits exhausted) fell through to the generic
'else' branch — printed yellow but never added to issues, so
'hermes doctor --fix' couldn't surface it. User had to manually
find and run 'hermes config set model.provider minimax'.
2. A provider value 'main' (from a stale gateway state or config
corruption) caused 'Unknown provider main' at runtime. Doctor
checked that config.yaml existed but never validated that
model.provider or model.default contained sane values.
Changes:
- OpenRouter health-check now catches 402 (out of credits) and 429
(rate limited) separately, prints a red X, and adds a fixable
issue with the exact command to run.
- New config validation after the config.yaml existence check:
* Validates model.provider against PROVIDER_REGISTRY. Unknown
provider names fail red with the full valid list.
* Warns when model.default uses a provider-prefixed name (e.g.
'anthropic/claude-opus-4') but provider is not openrouter/custom.
* Warns when model.provider is configured but no API key or
base_url is set for it.
Both fixes are fully general — they catch classes of errors, not
hardcoded values specific to one user's setup.
Adds regression tests for list-typed, int-typed, and None-typed message
fields on top of the dict-typed coverage from #11496. Guards against
other provider quirks beyond the original Pydantic validation case.
Credit to @elmatadorgh (#11264) for the broader type coverage idea.
When API providers return Pydantic-style validation errors where
body['message'] or body['error']['message'] is a dict (e.g.
{"detail": [...]}), the error classifier was crashing with
AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'lower'.
The 'or ""' fallback only handles None/falsy values. A non-empty
dict is truthy and passes through to .lower(), which fails.
Fix: Wrap all 5 call sites with str() before calling .lower().
This is a no-op for strings and safely converts dicts to their
repr for pattern matching (no false positives on classification
patterns like 'rate limit', 'context length', etc.).
Closes#11233
The streaming translator in agent/gemini_cloudcode_adapter.py keyed OpenAI
tool-call indices by function name, so when the model emitted multiple
parallel functionCall parts with the same name in a single turn (e.g.
three read_file calls in one response), they all collapsed onto index 0.
Downstream aggregators that key chunks by index would overwrite or drop
all but the first call.
Replace the name-keyed dict with a per-stream counter that persists across
SSE events. Each functionCall part now gets a fresh, unique index,
matching the non-streaming path which already uses enumerate(parts).
Add TestTranslateStreamEvent covering parallel-same-name calls, index
persistence across events, and finish-reason promotion to tool_calls.
Replaces the permanent "OK" receipt reaction with a 3-phase visual
lifecycle:
- Typing animation appears when the agent starts processing.
- Cleared when processing succeeds — the reply message is the signal.
- Replaced with CrossMark when processing fails.
- Cleared when processing is cancelled or interrupted.
When Feishu rejects the reaction-delete call, we keep the Typing in
place and skip adding CrossMark. Showing both at once would leave the
user seeing both "still working" and "done/failed" simultaneously,
which is worse than a stuck Typing.
A FEISHU_REACTIONS env var (default on) disables the whole lifecycle.
User-added reactions with the same emoji still route through to the
agent; only bot-origin reactions are filtered to break the feedback
loop.

After context compression (manual /compress or auto), run_agent's
_compress_context ends the current session and creates a new continuation
child session, mutating agent.session_id. The classic CLI held its own
self.session_id that never resynced, so /status showed the ended parent,
the exit-summary --resume hint pointed at a closed row, and any later
end_session() call (from /resume <other> or /branch) targeted the wrong
row AND overwrote the parent's 'compression' end_reason.
This only affected the classic prompt_toolkit CLI. The gateway path was
already fixed in PR #1160 (March 2026); --tui and ACP use different
session plumbing and were unaffected.
Changes:
- cli.py::_manual_compress — sync self.session_id from self.agent.session_id
after _compress_context, clear _pending_title
- cli.py chat loop — same sync post-run_conversation for auto-compression
- cli.py hermes -q single-query mode — same sync so stderr session_id
output points at the continuation
- hermes_state.py::end_session — guard UPDATE with 'ended_at IS NULL' so
the first end_reason wins; reopen_session() remains the explicit
escape hatch for re-ending a closed row
Tests:
- 3 new in tests/cli/test_manual_compress.py (split sync, no-op guard,
pending_title behavior)
- 2 new in tests/test_hermes_state.py (preserve compression end_reason
on double-end; reopen-then-re-end still works)
Closes#12483. Credits @steve5636 for the same-day bug report and
@dieutx for PR #3529 which proposed the CLI sync approach.
User-defined providers from config.yaml are already resolved via
resolve_provider_full() (which layers resolve_user_provider and
resolve_custom_provider on top of get_provider). Refresh the docstring
to reflect current reality and point future readers at the right entry
point. No behaviour change.
Closes#12309.
file_tools._get_file_ops() built a container_config dict for Docker/
Singularity/Modal/Daytona backends but omitted docker_mount_cwd_to_workspace
and docker_forward_env. Both are read by _create_environment() from
container_config, so file tools (read_file, write_file, patch, search)
silently ignored those config values when running in Docker.
Add the two missing keys to match the container_config already built by
terminal_tool.terminal_tool().
Fixes#2672.
Context compression silently failed when the auxiliary compression model's
context window was smaller than the main model's compression threshold
(e.g. GLM-4.5-air at 131k paired with a 150k threshold). The feasibility
check warned but the session kept running and compression attempts errored
out mid-conversation.
Two changes in _check_compression_model_feasibility():
1. Hard floor: if detected aux context < MINIMUM_CONTEXT_LENGTH (64k),
raise ValueError so the session refuses to start. Mirrors the existing
main-model rejection at AIAgent.__init__ line 1600. A compression model
below 64k cannot summarise a full threshold-sized window.
2. Auto-correct: when aux context is >= 64k but below the computed
threshold, lower the live compressor's threshold_tokens to aux_context
(and update threshold_percent to match so later update_model() calls
stay in sync). Warning reworded to say what was done and how to
persist the fix in config.yaml.
Only ValueError re-raises; other exceptions in the check remain swallowed
as non-fatal.
ZipFile.write() raises ValueError for files with mtime before 1980-01-01
(the ZIP format uses MS-DOS timestamps which can't represent earlier dates).
This crashes the entire backup. Add ValueError to the existing except clause
so these files are skipped and reported in the warnings summary, matching the
existing behavior for PermissionError and OSError.
The vision tool hardcoded temperature=0.1, ignoring the user's
config.yaml setting. This broke providers like Kimi/Moonshot that
require temperature=1 for vision models. Now reads temperature
from auxiliary.vision.temperature, falling back to 0.1.
