Bare-login noreply emails (no NNN+ numeric prefix) do not match the
check-attribution auto-resolve rule, so they need an explicit
contributors/emails/ file. Unblocks PR #73592.
Follow-up for salvaged #65023/#53020: _prepare_busy_steer_text now calls
_transcribe_and_echo_pending_voice (the same helper the interrupt monitor
and pending-drain paths use) instead of a private transcription+echo copy,
so out-of-band voice pays one STT call per platform message and the echo
respects the count-based ledger from #67281. can_steer now accepts events
whose attachments are all STT-eligible voice media, completing the steer
half of #58780. Adds extract_media gating tests for #44826 and the
contributor mapping for chefboyrdave21.
Salvaged from PR #51196 (@55nx954gn6-debug). _should_send_voice_reply only
consulted the runner's _voice_mode dict (/voice on|voice_only|all), so the
global voice.auto_tts config default — which is synced into each adapter's
_auto_tts_default on gateway connect — was invisible to the runner path.
Net effect: with streaming enabled and only global auto-TTS configured
(no per-chat /voice opt-in), the streamed reply consumed the text, the
base adapter's auto-TTS got text_content=None, and no voice reply was
ever sent (#51867/#23983 remainder).
The runner now also asks the adapter's _should_auto_tts_for_chat(chat_id)
(which encodes per-chat /voice on|off overrides over the global default);
an explicit /voice off chat mode remains a hard override.

Consolidates all TTS text-preparation paths onto
tools/tts_text_normalize.prepare_spoken_text:
- strip_nonspoken_blocks: removes <think> reasoning blocks (#34213,
incl. unterminated streaming blocks) and the end-of-turn
file-mutation verifier footer emitted by run_agent.py (#40772).
- flatten_newlines_for_payload: collapses newlines into sentence
breaks so newline-sensitive OpenAI-compatible providers (Kokoro)
speak the whole script instead of truncating at the first newline
(#9004).
- tools/tts_tool._strip_markdown_for_tts (voice-mode streaming + web
dashboard path) now delegates to the shared cleaner, with the legacy
regex pipeline kept as a best-effort fallback.
- hermes_cli/voice.py speak_text and cli.py _voice_speak_response now
use the shared cleaner instead of their own duplicated regex
pipelines.
- gateway auto-TTS fallback also strips think blocks.
Tests: tests/tools/test_tts_prepare_spoken.py covers think blocks,
verifier footer, emoji, newline flattening, and the shared-cleaner
wiring on the tool/streaming/gateway paths. Updated the header
expectation in test_voice_cli_integration.py for the heading-fold
behavior of the shared cleaner.
Closes#34213, #9004, #40772
Class-level fix for the 'STT transcribes the wrong language' issue family
(#55551, #50181 and siblings). Previously language handling was per-provider
chaos: local honoured stt.local.language, Groq/OpenAI/Mistral/DeepInfra sent
no language hint at all, xAI silently forced 'en', ElevenLabs used its own
language_code key, and there was no global setting.
- New _resolve_stt_language() helper: stt.<provider>.language >
stt.language (new global key) > HERMES_LOCAL_STT_LANGUAGE > auto-detect.
- Threaded through ALL providers: local, local_command, groq, openai,
mistral, xai, elevenlabs, deepinfra (shared OpenAI handler), command
providers, and plugin dispatch.
- xAI no longer forces English when nothing is configured (auto-detect).
- Mistral Voxtral now receives a language hint when configured.
- stt.groq.model is now honoured from config (previously env-only).
- DEFAULT_CONFIG gains stt.language, stt.groq, stt.xai, stt.mistral.language.
- Tests: tests/tools/test_stt_language_resolution.py (11 tests, sabotage-
verified) + full transcription suite green (236 passed).
Builds on cherry-picked contributor work from #19786 (@zombopanda),
#23161 (@materemias), #50684 (@BlackishGreen33).
The concept 'never send a turn that strict wire validation rejects as
empty' was forked across four sites, each with its own predicate and its
own blind spots:
1. build_assistant_message write-time ' ' pad — broke codex commentary
turns (content:'' is a designed state), and a DB-side pad can't
survive _rows_to_conversation's whitespace strip anyway. REMOVED.
2. conversation_loop send-time ' ' pad — main-loop only (summary path
uncovered), ordering-fragile (had to run after whitespace
normalization), assistant-only. REMOVED.
3. stream-stub '[response interrupted]' substitution — defeated the
loop's empty-stub guard (the stub no longer looked empty, entered
history, and the placeholder leaked into the stitched final
response via truncated_response_parts). REMOVED.
4. repair_empty_non_final_messages in sanitize_api_messages — the
unconditional pre-send chokepoint shared by the main loop AND the
summary path, covers user and assistant turns, non-final only,
copy-on-write. This is now the SINGLE OWNER.
The owner's payload predicate (_msg_has_payload) is extended to treat
codex_message_items / codex_reasoning_items as payload, so
designed-empty codex commentary turns are never rewritten on any
api_mode — the failure shape that broke site 1 in CI is encoded in the
owner, not special-cased at a call site.
Tests updated to pin the new contracts: builder stores textless turns
as-is; the empty stream stub stays recognizably empty for the loop
guard; poisoned resumed histories are repaired to the placeholder at
the send boundary; codex item carriers are never rewritten.
Sabotage-verified: unwiring the owner fails 3 regression tests.
A mid-tool-call stream drop with no delivered text produces a
partial-stream stub carrying content:'' and tool_calls=None. The
conversation loop's truncation path appended it to history as
{"role":"assistant","content":""} before the continuation nudge, and
strict providers (Moonshot/Kimi via OpenRouter) reject empty assistant
content with HTTP 400 ("the message at position N with role 'assistant'
must not be empty") on the next replay. Because the message is
persisted, every subsequent turn re-failed — the session was
unrecoverable.
Three layers, smallest blast radius first:
1. conversation_loop (length path): an EMPTY partial-stream stub is no
longer appended as an interim assistant message; only the
continuation user-message is. Stubs that delivered partial text are
still persisted so continuation stitching is unchanged.
2. chat_completion_helpers.build_assistant_message: never serialize a
textless assistant turn with content:'' — pad to a single space, the
same trick as the reasoning_content pad (#15250, #17400). Tool-call
turns are exempt (content:'' alongside tool_calls is accepted
everywhere).
3. conversation_loop send boundary: pad a textless assistant turn's
empty content to a single space AFTER all content-mutating passes
(surrogate sanitize, whitespace normalization, thinking-only drops),
before token estimation. This is the durable repair for sessions
ALREADY poisoned by older builds: the persisted stub rows are rebuilt
to '' on every reload (_rows_to_conversation strips whitespace, so a
DB-side pad can't survive) and only a send-time pad repairs them.
Verified: 485 tests pass across the four affected files; live replay of
a real poisoned session's resumed history against Moonshot via
OpenRouter returns HTTP 200 (was HTTP 400).
- codex app-server sibling path: surface a WARNING (was silent debug) when
the projected-message flush fails — same bug class as the main fix, but
codex output has already streamed so fail-closed and agent_persisted=False
are both wrong here (#860/#42039 duplicate-write hazard); loud durability
gap logging instead.
- map session_persistence_failed in _format_turn_completion_explanation so
the user sees an actionable reason instead of 'The request failed:
unknown error' + explainer test.
- contributors/emails mapping for elco@thedaoist.gg (attribution CI).
Update _pre_msg_count after adopting the durable transcript so the
post-compression log reflects the correct pre-adoption message count.
Also use the existing _live_child_id() helper in the updated test
instead of hand-rolled child-id extraction.
Follow-up to #72631.
Widen okalentiev's failed_model narrowing (#59561) to
_try_main_agent_model_fallback. The safety-net layer still skipped on a
provider-label match alone, so single-provider users whose aux compression
model and main model share one custom endpoint had ZERO fallbacks: the aux
model timing out exhausted the chain in one hop and compression aborted.
Real incident (0.19.0 debug dump): aux zai-org/glm-5.2 hung 324s and timed
out while main mindai/macaron-v1-venti on the SAME endpoint was serving
448K-token turns — the label-only skip discarded the one viable summarizer,
the session wedged over threshold, and the anti-thrash breaker tripped.
Same convention as the chain fix: model-specific failures (timeout,
connection, rate limit) pass failed_model so only the exact failed model is
skipped; provider-wide failures (auth 401 / payment 402) pass None and keep
the whole-provider skip. Both sync and async call_llm sites pass it.
Sabotage-verified: the new regression test fails on the provider-only skip.
The per-IP httpx transports were built once in __init__ and never torn
down. A connect that reached ESTABLISHED and was then closed by the peer
left its socket in CLOSE_WAIT inside the pool, and the failure path only
logged and continued — so the poisoned pool was retained and leaked one
descriptor per retry.
With DNS for api.telegram.org failing, every poll fell through to the
seed IP and leaked another fd every ~2.5s. The bot gateway reached 177
CLOSE_WAIT sockets against launchd's 256 soft limit and wedged: accept()
on the gateway port, config reads and DNS resolution all failed with
EMFILE, which in turn made the primary path fail and fed the loop.
Build fallback transports lazily and discard them on a retryable connect
failure, and bound every pool at 8 connections (httpx defaults to 100,
so two seed IPs plus primary could alone exceed the fd ceiling).

`hermes skills update` could silently replace a same-named skill from a
DIFFERENT registry — deleting the user's files and rewriting the lockfile's
recorded provenance. Two defects on main:
- tools/skills_hub.py: check_for_skill_updates fell back to *all* sources
(`... or sources`) when no adapter matched the recorded source, so any
registry with a same-named skill could satisfy the fetch and be reported
as an update — silently reassigning provenance. Now reports the entry as
`unavailable` instead of cross-registry fallback.
- hermes_cli/skills_hub.py: do_update called do_install with a bare, slash-
less identifier and no source constraint, letting _resolve_short_name fuzzy-
match a same-named skill in another registry. do_install now takes an
optional source_id pin that ABORTS (rather than falls back) when no adapter
matches, and do_update forwards the lockfile's recorded source as that pin.
Includes regression tests reproducing the cross-registry hijack.

Generalizes the huggingface-hub lockstep test (#72320) to the whole
LAZY_DEPS surface: any package exact-pinned in LAZY_DEPS that the core
lock also resolves must pin the SAME version, so hermes update's lazy
refresh can never churn or downgrade a shared package out from under
its other consumers (#60783 class, #31817 class).
Together with the anchor-based activation gate (previous commit,
salvaged from #27878 by @paralegalia), this closes both halves of
#44404: features no longer false-activate from shared transitives, and
even a feature that legitimately activates cannot move a shared package
away from the locked version.
A providers: entry with only a default_model/model (no explicit models:
list) is un-narrowed — the singular field is just the active selection.
Section 3 derived has_explicit_models from the merged models list, so
the lone default_model entry counted as an explicit catalog and
suppressed the /v1/models probe for no-key endpoints, leaving a
one-line /model picker menu for local llama.cpp/Ollama/vLLM servers.
Track explicit models: declarations separately at group-build time
(mirrors section 4's declaration-tracking from #40542 / PR #61928) and
gate the probe on that instead.
Salvaged from PR #68984 by @vigilancetech-com (the probe_custom_providers
gate removal in that PR is not taken — the GUI no-probe gate is
intentional).
