Follow-up on kshitijk4poor's cherry-picked references:
- pitfalls.md rewritten from the raw-socket blender_exec() frame to the
MCP-tool frame (dropped 'MCP server is optional, talk to the socket
directly' — now the anti-pattern; dropped TCP-helper internals items;
kept all bpy/addon knowledge: empty code results in 5.x, temp-file
readback, ops-vs-data context, engine names by version, GPU setup)
- recipes.md: blender_exec -> execute_blender_code in the agent-side
verification snippet
- SKILL.md: reference-file table added to Quick Reference, version
2.1.0, kshitijk4poor added to authors
- docs page regenerated (scoped to this skill)
Fixes#62452. Two amplifiers turned one slow auxiliary route into a
per-turn multi-minute stall:
1. Fallback candidates inherited the exact effective_timeout the primary
was called with. When the primary's deadline was short (tuned or
already burned), an independently healthy fallback died on the same
clock — the reporter's 163k-token compression needed ~90s on the
fallback and got the primary's 30s, every turn. fallback_chain
entries may now declare their own 'timeout' (seconds); both fallback
candidate call sites (sync + async) resolve it via
_fallback_entry_timeout, label-scoped so only configured-chain
candidates are affected. No entry timeout → task-level timeout,
preserving existing behavior.
2. A session whose transcript structurally cannot be summarized within
the deadline re-attempted every 60s, re-burning the full timeout on
every subsequent turn. Consecutive timeout-class failures now
escalate the cooldown 60s → 300s → 900s (capped); any successful
summary or session reset clears the streak. Timeout classification
takes precedence over the streaming-closed 30s rung ('timed out'
also matches _is_connection_error) and now recognizes the SDK's
'Request timed out.' phrasing.
Fail-safe behavior is unchanged: all messages are preserved when every
candidate fails; the cooldown only spaces out retries.
The docs search theme (@easyops-cn/docusaurus-search-local) defaults
fuzzyMatchingDistance to 1, so every term also matched words one edit
away. Two user-visible failures on the 14.4 MB production index:
- Wrong results: 'keet' returned 'Microsoft Teams Meetings',
'google_meet', 'Keep the Model Loaded' etc. — 'meet' and 'keep' are
both one edit from 'keet', and the stemmer indexes 'meetings' as
'meet'.
- Search appearing to die: fuzzy matching multiplies the generated
lunr queries (distance matrix x maybe-typing variants x
leave-one-out terms — up to 210 queries per keystroke on multi-word
input), and fuzzy REQUIRED terms are the expensive scan kind. A
typo'd 3-word query stalled the single-threaded search Web Worker
for 25+ seconds; every later keystroke's search queued behind it,
so the bar stopped returning results.
Setting fuzzyMatchingDistance: 0 keeps exact-word-or-prefix semantics
(keet -> keet*), which is the behavior users asked for. Validated by
running the plugin's shipped smartQueries/tokenize code against the
downloaded production search-index.json: legitimate queries (cron,
telegram, prefix 'memor') return identical results; worst-case typo
queries drop from 210 queries / 365-532ms per keystroke to 50-105 /
53-188ms; false 'keet' matches gone.
Follow-ups on the salvaged #20096 profile-routing feature:
- _profile_name_for_source now returns None unless gateway.multiplex_profiles
is on. Routing stamps source.profile, which namespaces session/batch keys,
but the profile-scoped agent run only activates under multiplexing — without
the gate, configured routes with multiplexing off split batch/session keys
into agent:<profile> while the agent still ran from agent:main.
- Widen the profile-aware _text_batch_key fix from Discord to every adapter
that builds batch keys via build_session_key (telegram, whatsapp, matrix,
feishu, wecom, weixin) — routing is platform-generic, so the batch-key
namespace fix must be too.
- Downgrade the no-route-matched log from INFO to DEBUG (fired on every
unrouted inbound message).
- GatewayConfig.to_dict(): serialize profile_routes as plain dicts
(ProfileRoute dataclasses are not JSON-safe).
- Docs: correct the 'independent of multiplexing' claim in
docs/profile-routing.md (routing requires multiplexing), fix the
platform-only specificity row (0, not 1), and document profile_routes in
website/docs/user-guide/multi-profile-gateways.md.
- Tests: pin the multiplex gate (routes ignored when off, active when on,
build_source end-to-end stays in agent:main when off).
The optional blender-mcp skill predates the blender MCP catalog entry
(#64463) and taught the agent to hand-roll raw TCP JSON to the addon's
socket on port 9876 from execute_code — bypassing the catalog's version
pinning and install-time tool curation.
Reworked to v2.0.0 as the companion skill for the catalog entry:
- prerequisites now go through 'hermes mcp install blender'
- interaction surface is the four curated MCP tools, not a raw socket
- keeps the valuable content: addon setup, bpy recipes (materials,
keyframes, render-to-file), pitfalls (timeouts, absolute paths,
object mode), plus new pitfalls (xvfb headless, no-sandbox warning,
remote-host path resolution)
- explicit anti-pattern note: do not hand-roll TCP to 9876
- description shortened to <=60 chars per skill authoring standards
alireza78a's original bpy patterns and pitfalls are preserved and
credited. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (scoped to
this skill only; unrelated generator drift left untouched).
The remote model catalog (website/static/api/model-catalog.json) now labels
exactly one entry per provider block with "default": true — z-ai/glm-5.2 for
both OpenRouter and Nous Portal. That labeled entry is the model Hermes
silently lands on when the user never picked one, and it can be rotated by
editing the manifest alone: no release needed.
- model_catalog.py: get_default_model_from_cache() reads the label from the
in-process/disk cache only — never triggers a network fetch, so hot
resolution paths (agent build, gateway session setup) stay network-free.
- models.py: get_preferred_silent_default_model() resolves catalog label
first, PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL constant second (offline/fresh
install). _PROVIDER_SILENT_DEFAULT_OVERRIDES dict replaced by
_SILENT_DEFAULT_PROVIDERS routing through the shared resolver.
fetch_openrouter_models() preserves the "default" badge through live
/v1/models refreshes so the picker shows it.
- scripts/build_model_catalog.py: generator emits the default label so
regeneration can't drop it.
- website/docs/reference/model-catalog.md: schema documents the new field.
- Salvaged from PR #61141 (@HumphreySun98): bare-provider /model switches
(/model nous) route through the cost-safe default instead of curated
entry [0].
- tests: catalog-label precedence, constant fallback, stale-label fallback,
cache-only (no network) guarantee, and a shipped-manifest contract test
pinning the labeled entry to PREFERRED_SILENT_DEFAULT_MODEL.
E2E (temp HERMES_HOME): fresh-install constant fallback, shipped-manifest
label read, release-free rotation (relabeled cache -> new default across
models.py, tui_gateway, and gateway empty-model paths) all verified.
The just-merged auxiliary.<task>.reasoning_effort shorthand applied
ensemble-wide to MoA (one value for every advisor) — wrong granularity.
Per-slot preset config supersedes it:
moa:
presets:
deep_review:
reference_models:
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: low}
- {provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: xhigh}
aggregator:
{provider: ..., model: ..., reasoning_effort: high}
- Remove reasoning_effort from the moa_reference/moa_aggregator
DEFAULT_CONFIG blocks; _get_task_extra_body now warns-and-ignores the
key on MoA tasks, pointing at the preset config
- Guard tests: MoA aux blocks must not regrow the key; task-level value
is rejected with the pointer warning
- Docs: configuration.md notes the MoA exception and links the MoA page
Every auxiliary task block (vision, web_extract, compression,
title_generation, curator, background_review, moa_reference, ...) now
accepts a reasoning_effort shorthand:
auxiliary:
compression:
reasoning_effort: low
vision:
reasoning_effort: none
_get_task_extra_body() folds it into extra_body.reasoning, which every
auxiliary wire already translates: chat.completions passes it through,
the Codex Responses adapter maps it to top-level reasoning/include, and
the Anthropic auxiliary adapter now forwards it into
build_anthropic_kwargs(reasoning_config=...) (previously hardcoded None).
An explicit extra_body.reasoning on the same task wins over the
shorthand. Invalid levels are ignored with a warning. Empty string
(the shipped default) is a no-op — zero behavior change.
Config: reasoning_effort added to all 16 auxiliary task blocks in
DEFAULT_CONFIG (no version bump — deep-merge handles new keys).
Add agent.reasoning_overrides dict to config.yaml. Users can now set
a reasoning_effort per model, overriding the global agent.reasoning_effort.
Example:
agent:
reasoning_effort: "medium" # global default
reasoning_overrides:
"openrouter/anthropic/claude-opus-4.5": "xhigh"
"openai/gpt-5": "low"
"claude-sonnet-4.6": "high" # bare model name also works
The helper is spelling-tolerant: override keys match regardless of
provider prefix or dots-vs-dashes normalization, so users can write
keys in any sensible form and they'll match.
Resolution priority:
1. Session-scoped /reasoning --session override (gateway only; unchanged)
2. Per-model override from agent.reasoning_overrides (spelling-tolerant)
3. Global agent.reasoning_effort (existing)
4. Provider default (unchanged)
Wired into:
- CLI startup (cli.py)
- Messaging gateway agent construction (gateway/run.py)
- Desktop/TUI _load_reasoning_config (tui_gateway/server.py)
- Cron job scheduler (cron/scheduler.py)
- /model mid-session switch (agent/agent_runtime_helpers.py)
+ _primary_runtime now tracks reasoning_config for correct fallback recovery
- Fallback activation (agent/chat_completion_helpers.py::try_activate_fallback)
+ Re-resolves reasoning_config for the fallback model (best-effort)
Closes#21256 (per-model reasoning_effort defaults).
Note: no hermes config set agent.reasoning_overrides.<model> support;
users edit the YAML directly. _set_nested splits on "." and would
corrupt model keys containing version dots.
Return actionable errors when HERMES_WRITE_SAFE_ROOT blocks a path instead of
labeling every denial as a protected credential file. Wire the helper through
write_file, patch, delete/move, and the Copilot ACP shim; sync docs examples.
Document that safe-root violations are hard-blocked (not approval-gated),
add a security guide section for write_file/patch guards, and link cron
and verifier docs so users trust the footer over agent summaries.
- Nudge text now warns that repeated protocol violations will block the
task and require manual intervention, so the model understands the
consequence of ignoring the nudge.
- Kanban docs restructured to clearly separate the two defense layers:
agent-side prevention (nudge, from #64350) and dispatcher-side
recovery (bounded retry, from this PR).
- Two new integration tests verifying the nudge mentions blocking and
that the agent-side and dispatcher-side budgets are independent.
Fold in kevinb361's suggested lifecycle wording (#61817 conceded in favor of
this PR) and update the second stale site his sweep didn't cover: the
task-events table still said the dispatcher 'auto-blocks immediately instead
of retrying'. Both now describe the violation-only streak: protocol_violation
fires on every violation (its payload marker feeds the budget), below-budget
runs return the task to ready, and gave_up + auto-block happen only when the
consecutive streak reaches _PROTOCOL_VIOLATION_FAILURE_LIMIT (default 3,
per-task max_retries overriding).
OpenAI lets ChatGPT-plan Codex users bank rate-limit reset credits, but
until now they could only be redeemed from the Codex CLI/app or the
website. This wires the same backend API into Hermes:
- /usage on the openai-codex provider now shows "You have N resets
banked - use /usage reset to activate" (parsed from the
rate_limit_reset_credits field the /usage endpoint already returns).
- New /usage reset subcommand (CLI + gateway) redeems one banked
credit via POST .../rate-limit-reset-credits/consume with a UUID
idempotency key, mirroring codex-rs backend-client semantics
(PathStyle /wham vs /api/codex, ChatGPT-Account-Id header,
reset/nothing_to_reset/no_credit/already_redeemed outcomes).
- Guard: redemption is refused while no rate-limit window is fully
exhausted, since a banked reset restores the FULL 5h + weekly
allowance and spending it early wastes it. /usage reset --force
overrides. Zero banked credits and non-codex providers are refused
with clear messages; nothing_to_reset reports the credit was NOT
spent.
- i18n: new gateway.usage.unknown_subcommand / reset_wrong_provider
keys across all 16 locales; docs updated (cli.md, messaging index).
Tested with unit tests plus a real-socket E2E against a local fake
Codex backend exercising redeem/guard/force and the /usage hint.
scripts/desktop-sandbox.sh runs a Hermes desktop instance in an isolated
sandbox — separate HERMES_HOME, separate Electron userData, and a
distinct
app name (HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME) so it doesn't compete with the main
desktop instance's single-instance lock.
Two modes:
- Ephemeral (default): temp dir, cleaned up on exit
- --persistent: stored under .hermes-sandbox/ in the worktree git root,
survives restarts for repeat testing
In the Nix devShell the script is available as 'sandbox'.
Also makes APP_NAME overridable via HERMES_DESKTOP_APP_NAME in main.ts —
app.setName() runs before requestSingleInstanceLock(), so the overridden
name changes the lock key. collectRelaunchEnv already preserves
HERMES_DESKTOP_* vars through self-update relaunches; test updated to
cover the new env var.
Rerun scripts/build_model_catalog.py so the manifest is source-generated
rather than hand-edited (the -pro rows from the cherry-picked #61587 were
already correct; only updated_at changes).
grok-4.5 is GA and is now the single curated Grok entry on the
aggregator lists. grok-4.3 is NOT retired upstream — it remains fully
usable by typing the model name (validated against the live catalogs);
this only removes it from the short curated picker snapshots. The
xAI-direct list is models.dev-cache-driven and unaffected.
* feat(xai): add grok-4.5 (early access) to catalog, context lengths, and reasoning-effort allowlist
- hermes_cli/models.py: grok-4.5 in _XAI_CURATED_EXTRAS (callable but absent
from models.dev) and _XAI_STATIC_FALLBACK, so the /model picker and
validation surface it on both xai and xai-oauth.
- agent/model_metadata.py: context lengths grok-4.5 -> 500K (per model card)
and grok-build-latest -> 500K (alias); grok-4.5 added to
_GROK_EFFORT_CAPABLE_PREFIXES.
Verified live against api.x.ai /v1/responses (2026-07-08): effort
low/medium/high accepted (server default: high), "none" rejected,
function calling works, full agent turn with terminal tool succeeded.
* feat(xai): grok-4.5 GA — add aggregator catalog entries, refresh comments
grok-4.5 is now GA: models.dev lists it (500K context, effort
low/medium/high) and both OpenRouter and Nous serve x-ai/grok-4.5.
Add it to the OpenRouter fallback snapshot and the Nous static list,
and update the early-access comments.
* chore: regenerate model-catalog.json for x-ai/grok-4.5
Follow-up to #60944 (webhook payload filters and route scripts):
- reference/cli-commands.md (en+zh): document the new --script option on
'hermes webhook subscribe'
- zh-Hans user-guide webhooks.md: mirror the Payload Filters and Script
Filters/Transforms sections plus the filters/script route properties
(the salvage shipped English-only docs)
- hermes-agent skill webhooks reference: teach the agent the filters/
script surface so agent-driven subscriptions can use them
- OPENROUTER_MODELS: remove openrouter/owl-alpha (free) and
tencent/hy3-preview{,:free}; add tencent/hy3 and tencent/hy3:free
- _PROVIDER_MODELS[nous]: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
- run_agent.py reasoning-prefix list: tencent/hy3-preview -> tencent/hy3
(prefix match still covers -preview if pinned)
- model_metadata: register hy3 context length (262144) alongside hy3-preview
- regenerate website/static/api/model-catalog.json
- update tokenhub curated-list tests to the new IDs
The tencent-tokenhub direct provider still serves hy3-preview and is
intentionally unchanged.

Restructures the five parallel export sections into a single 'Export
Sessions' section: a format table (jsonl/md/qmd/html/trace + --only
user-prompts), one shared-filters paragraph covering all formats, and
per-format subsections nested beneath. EN + zh-Hans.
* feat(trace): upload sessions to HF Agent Trace Viewer
Salvage trace upload as a smaller CLI-first feature: deterministic Claude Code JSONL export, fail-closed redaction, lazy Hugging Face dependency, and no gateway slash-command wiring.
* chore(trace): drop external porting references from docstrings
Describe the trace-upload design in Hermes' own terms.
* feat(sessions): fold trace upload into 'sessions export --format trace'
Integrates the HF Agent Trace Viewer exporter (PR #36145) onto the
unified export surface instead of a separate 'hermes trace' subcommand:
- --format trace: Claude Code JSONL to stdout/file, or one
<id>.trace.jsonl per session for filtered bulk export; defaults to
the most recent session when no --session-id/filters given.
- --upload pushes to the user's private HF traces dataset (--public to
opt out of private); reads HF_TOKEN with guided setup when missing.
- traces are secret-redacted by default (force mode); --no-redact opts
out after review; redaction failure blocks export (fail closed).
- hermes_cli/trace.py + subcommands/trace.py removed; agent/trace_upload.py
is the single engine. Docs EN + zh-Hans; 4 new CLI tests.
The salvaged SelfHostedBackend made self-hosted servers reachable via
mem0.json / MEM0_HOST, but the setup wizard still offered only Platform
and OSS — exactly the gap users hit (Discord report: 'At memory setup
there's only 2 options'). Adds a third wizard mode:
- interactive picker: Platform / Self-hosted server / Open Source
- non-interactive: hermes memory setup mem0 --mode selfhosted
--host http://... [--api-key ...] [--dry-run]
- host -> mem0.json (behavioral), API key -> .env as MEM0_API_KEY
(secret), optional key for AUTH_DISABLED servers
- best-effort reachability check against the server, non-fatal
- README + memory-providers docs updated with the wizard path
Salvage follow-up integrating PR #30481 (@simplast) and PR #57683
(@catbearlove1-lang) into the unified export surface:
- --format html: standalone self-contained HTML transcript (single
session or multi-session with sidebar), works with all shared filters
and --redact; requires a file output path.
- --only user-prompts: prompt-only export (jsonl records or md sections)
via the shared session_export renderer; the separate export-prompts
subcommand from the original PR is subsumed by this flag.
- AUTHOR_MAP entries for both contributors; docs EN + zh-Hans.
Review follow-ups on the salvage:
- get_all() pruned from the ABC and all three backends: mem0_list (its
only caller) was removed by the recall-tuning commit, leaving new,
tested, unreachable code — including SelfHostedBackend's _MAX_TOP_K
over-fetch workaround. Tests for it dropped; fake-class stubs remain
harmlessly. (The #52921 true-total fix lives on in the PR history if
a lister ever returns.)
- The persisted rerank config key was write-only (setup prompted for it,
nothing read it). initialize() now parses it into _rerank_default and
mem0_search uses it when the model doesn't pass rerank explicitly;
per-call args still win. Guard test added.
- Platform-mode setup now warns when MEM0_HOST is set in the environment:
the json host-clear can't help there (_load_config seeds host from the
env var, docs tell users to put it in .env) — the user would silently
keep routing to the self-hosted server.
- SelfHostedBackend: connect-level retries (httpx.HTTPTransport(retries=2))
so a single transient blip doesn't count toward the provider breaker;
transport now injectable and the test helper uses the real __init__
instead of mirroring it via __new__.
- plugin.yaml description no longer leads with reranking (off by default,
platform-only); docs em-dash typo fixed.
