Tool-schema assembly at CLI/Desktop startup runs the browser-family
check_fns (browser, browser_cdp, browser_dialog, browser_vision). Each
of those gates called _get_cdp_override(), which resolves the configured
endpoint over HTTP (GET /json/version, timeout=10) — so a *stale*
browser.cdp_url pointing at a dead debug browser cost ~7 serial blocking
socket connects before the banner rendered. Measured on a real Windows
install with a dead http://[::1]:9222 config: 15.1s of an 18s launch,
with no warning or error — just mystery slowness. The value is easy to
leave behind: /browser connect writes a session-scoped env override, but
'hermes config set browser.cdp_url' persists forever while the debug
Chrome it pointed at dies on the next browser restart.
Split the helper:
- _get_cdp_override_raw() — returns the configured value (env var or
config.yaml) with zero network I/O. Used by every is-it-configured
gate: check_browser_requirements, _browser_cdp_check, _is_local_mode,
_is_local_backend, _navigation_session_key, _should_inject_engine
(via _is_local_mode), and the hermes doctor chromium-skip check.
- _get_cdp_override() — unchanged contract (raw + /json/version
resolution), now only called on paths that are about to connect:
session creation and the dialog-supervisor attach.
This follows the existing rule in check_browser_requirements ('do not
execute agent-browser --version here') and the browser.manage status
path, which already banned _get_cdp_override for exactly this reason
(test_browser_manage_status_does_not_call_get_cdp_override): schema
assembly must not perform blocking I/O.
A/B on the same machine, same dead endpoint: get_tool_definitions()
15.08s unpatched -> 1.89s patched, with browser_cdp/browser_dialog
still advertised (gate now keys off configuration, not reachability —
matching the documented lazy-supervisor contract in
_browser_dialog_check).
Adds a regression test asserting the browser_cdp check_fn never touches
the network.
Compile and checksum-pin SQLite 3.53.4 in the published image, preserve Hermes' required SQLite features, and assert the final Python linkage plus FTS5 trigram behavior during image builds.\n\nMake doctor remediation install-aware so Docker users pull and recreate every Hermes container instead of running the inapplicable git updater.\n\nFixes #70480
Path.read_text() and Path.write_text() without explicit encoding
default to the system locale encoding. On Windows this is typically
cp1252, which causes UnicodeDecodeError for UTF-8 content (JSON
configs, user data, service scripts).
Add encoding="utf-8" to all read_text() and write_text() calls
across 8 CLI files, matching the pattern established in PR #50534
(security_audit_startup.py) and ruff rule PLW1514.
Fixed files:
- main.py: 4 read_text calls
- auth.py: 3 read_text calls
- banner.py: 1 read_text + 1 write_text
- service_manager.py: 1 read_text + 4 write_text
- container_boot.py: 1 read_text + 4 write_text
- doctor.py: 3 read_text calls
- uninstall.py: 2 read_text calls
- gateway.py: 1 write_text call
A brew Python upgrade (original report) or an interrupted venv rebuild
(v0.19.0 report in the same thread) can leave certifi importable while
its bundled cacert.pem is missing or a dangling symlink. Every TLS
connection then fails — Feishu/Telegram/WeChat/DingTalk all down —
with an opaque 'Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle'
from deep inside httpx/requests.
The existing repair infrastructure only probed
`hasattr(certifi, 'contents')`, which PASSES in exactly this failure
state, so neither the early venv self-heal nor `hermes update`'s
import-probe repair ever classified certifi as broken. Extended, not
replaced:
- hermes_cli/_early_recovery.py: the in-process probe now also
validates that certifi.where() exists and is a plausible bundle
(>=1KiB), so the pre-import self-heal repairs it like any other
wiped core package.
- hermes_cli/main.py (_detect_broken_lazy_refresh_imports): the
subprocess probe script used by `hermes update`'s venv repair
applies the same bundle-file check inside the target venv.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: `hermes doctor` already failed the cert
check; `hermes doctor --fix` now repairs it (pip force-reinstall
certifi + module-cache invalidation + re-verify), covering
brew/manual venvs where no update marker exists. Failures funnel
into the manual-action list with the exact command.
- agent/ssl_guard.py: the startup SSLConfigurationError hint now leads
with `hermes doctor --fix` instead of only the raw pip command.
Fixes#29866
On Windows with Chinese locale (GBK), subprocess.run(text=True) without
explicit encoding causes UnicodeDecodeError crashes. This fix adds
encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' to all subprocess.run() and
subprocess.Popen() calls that use text=True across 76 non-test Python files.
Fixes#53428 (master tracker for Windows GBK locale crash).

those will be submitted as separate focused PRs.
MoA (Mixture of Agents) is a legitimate internal provider used by
Diagnosis presets and multi-model aggregation. When a MoA preset sets
model.provider to 'moa', hermes doctor incorrectly reports it as
'unrecognised' and suggests changing it, which would break the MoA setup.
Add 'moa' to the known_providers set alongside 'openrouter', 'custom',
and 'auto' so doctor recognises it as valid.
Fixes#58759
Hoist the duplicated check_info(source_id) call out of both

Follow-up cleanup for PR #69981.
On vulnerable SQLite (e.g. 3.50.4), do not enable WAL for fresh/non-WAL
shared databases — prefer DELETE instead. Leave existing on-disk WAL
alone (no live downgrade under concurrent gateway/cron openers). Surface
Python/SQLite version details as a doctor warning (#69784).
A ``providers.<name>`` block in ``config.yaml`` can now opt out of being
listed anywhere by setting ``enabled: false`` — without removing the
block, so re-enabling it stays a one-line edit. Missing or ``true`` keeps
the previous behaviour (enabled), so this is fully backwards-compatible.
The flag is honoured in four places:
* ``hermes_cli/model_switch.py`` — model-override validation (the
allow-list that the picker consults to accept a non-public model id)
and the picker's own endpoint iteration. A disabled provider no longer
appears as a row and its models can't be silently accepted via
override.
* ``hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py`` — the runtime resolver skips
disabled blocks, so an explicit ``--provider X`` against a disabled
entry fails fast instead of using stale base_url / api_key from the
ignored block.
* ``hermes_cli/doctor.py`` — the doctor's "configured providers" set
excludes disabled entries, so health checks don't flag missing API
keys for providers the user has turned off.
Motivation: when a user has 20+ providers wired up in ``config.yaml``
(many of them only used occasionally) the picker becomes noisy and the
runtime resolver may pick a suboptimal one on ambiguous --provider names.
There's currently no way to hide a provider short of deleting its block
— which loses the api_key + base_url + custom routing config the user
spent time wiring. ``enabled: false`` lets them keep the config but get
it out of the way.
The helper ``is_provider_enabled()`` in ``hermes_cli/config.py``
centralises the gate (and accepts YAML-stringified booleans like
``"false"`` for hand-edited configs). 17 unit tests cover the defaults
and edge cases.
A follow-up PR can wire ``hermes provider enable/disable <name>`` and a
dashboard toggle on top of this primitive — they reduce to mutating the
flag.
Two config-hygiene improvements (warning-only, non-blocking):
1) Unknown top-level config keys now surface a warning naming the key (known roots derived from DEFAULT_CONFIG.keys() as single source of truth) so typos like 'skillz:'/'secrity:' are no longer silently ignored. Provider.* unknown-key behavior preserved.
2) hermes doctor reports deprecated/legacy config keys (display.tool_progress_overrides, delegation.max_async_children, compression.summary_*) and legacy env vars (HERMES_TOOL_PROGRESS*, TERMINAL_CWD, QQ_HOME_CHANNEL*) with their modern replacements, as non-failing warnings. No auto-delete/migrate.
Tests: config_validation + doctor suites green (100 passed).
Bundle Fireworks AI as a first-class BYOK provider across the CLI, web/TUI,
and desktop onboarding.
- New model-provider plugin with attribution headers (HTTP-Referer / X-Title)
so Fireworks can attribute Hermes traffic; PAYG-safe default aux + fallback
models (accounts/fireworks/models/...), IDs tracking fw-ai/fireconnect.
- Registered in CANONICAL_PROVIDERS so it appears in the CLI/web/TUI pickers.
- Alias wiring (fireworks-ai, fw) into both CLI resolvers.
- First-class wiring: OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, HERMES_OVERLAYS (FIREWORKS_BASE_URL
override), doctor env hints. Live catalog + model_metadata are auto-derived.
- doctor: treat Fireworks' native slash-form IDs (accounts/fireworks/...) as
valid, not aggregator vendor prefixes, so it no longer tells Fireworks users
to switch to openrouter or drop the prefix.
- picker: plugin providers with no static curated list now lead with their
profile fallback_models, so the default is an agentic chat model instead of
whatever the live catalog returns first (Fireworks listed an image model,
flux-*, ahead of its chat models).
- Desktop onboarding: Fireworks as a RECOMMENDED hero card with the official
Fireworks logomark and a brand-purple badge, routing to the BYOK key form;
i18n in en/ja/zh/zh-hant.
- Tests: profile contract, first-class wiring (both resolvers, overlay, config,
doctor incl. the slash-form regression, aux headers, credentials), discovery
spot-check, and a live smoke test driven through the Hermes runtime.
Fire Pass (fpk_) support is coming soon; the future wiring is kept as a
commented-out scaffold in the plugin.
The unreadable-config-overwrite bug (an existing config.yaml that reads as
{} on a permission/IO error gets replaced with only defaults or the edited
section) is not limited to save_config / config set / auth. The same
read-then-atomic_yaml_write pattern lives at ~7 other independent write
sites that don't route through those functions:
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _save_config_key, memory/skills write_approval
toggles, tool_progress toggle, runtime_footer toggle, personality set
- hermes_cli/doctor.py --fix (stale root-key migration)
- gateway/platforms/yuanbao.py auto-sethome
- plugins/platforms/telegram/adapter.py topic thread_id persistence
- tui_gateway/server.py _save_cfg
- agent/onboarding.py mark_seen
Rather than sprinkle require_readable_config_before_write() at each site,
add a single fail-closed chokepoint, atomic_config_write(), that runs the
guard then delegates to atomic_yaml_write, and route every config.yaml
write through it. Root cause remains that read_raw_config() can't tell an
absent file from an unreadable one (returns {} for both) — read-only
callers correctly stay fail-open, but any full-file replacement now fails
closed in one enforced place instead of relying on each caller to remember
the guard.
save_config / set_config_value / auth keep the contributor's original
guard calls (their commit); this commit widens the fix to the sibling
call paths and adds a regression test on the chokepoint (fails closed on
unreadable existing file + still creates a genuinely absent file).
hermes doctor's final 'configure missing API keys' summary counted every
toolset with unmet key requirements, including default-off and explicitly
disabled ones. Filter the summary to toolsets actually enabled for the CLI
platform, with a graceful fallback to prior behavior when config resolution
fails.
Fixes#11336
Follow-up to #53791 addressing review feedback: the footgun checker treated
capture_output=/stdout=/stderr=/check_output as proof a subprocess can't pop a
Windows console. That invariant is false — stream redirection controls where a
child's output goes, not whether a console is allocated. From a console-less
parent (Desktop/Electron, pythonw.exe, detached gateway/cron) a console-subsystem
child still flashes a window even when fully captured.
- check-windows-footguns.py: capture/redirect/check_output is no longer a blanket
safe-pass. Added _WINDOWS_FLASHING_PROGRAMS (git/gh/npm/node/python/uv/ffmpeg/
docker/powershell/…); calls to those are flagged even when captured. Non-flashing
programs keep the capture exemption (no 271-site noise). _subprocess_compat.run/
popen calls are inherently safe (wrapper injects CREATE_NO_WINDOW).
- Routed the 35 genuine flashing git/gh/npm/uv/ffmpeg/docker spawns through the
_subprocess_compat.run/popen chokepoint (Brooklyn's wrapper from #53810) — the
durable fix, not per-site annotations. cmd.exe /c start stays # ok (intentional).
- Updated tests + CONTRIBUTING.md rule #17 to the corrected invariant.
A readable state.db can still reject every message write through the
messages_fts* triggers when the FTS5 index is corrupt: base-table reads and
PRAGMA integrity_check pass, but INSERT INTO messages fails with 'database
disk image is malformed'. The gateway reloads conversation_history from disk
each turn, so a silently-failed write hands the next turn stale/empty history
even though the same cached AIAgent still holds the live transcript — causing
immediate same-session amnesia. (#50502)
- hermes_state.py: _db_opens_cleanly() now drives a rolled-back message write
through the FTS triggers, so write-only corruption (which the read-only
probe reported healthy) is detected. repair_state_db_schema() gains an
in-place FTS5 'rebuild' strategy (tier 0) before the dedup/drop tiers, plus
an already_healthy short-circuit. Both 'hermes sessions repair' and
'hermes doctor' route through these, so the fix covers the whole class.
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: the state.db check runs the write-health probe even on
the success (readable) path and repairs in place with --fix.
- gateway/run.py: _select_cached_agent_history() prefers the cached agent's
longer live _session_messages over a shorter persisted transcript, so an
FTS write failure can't wipe in-session context.
- tests: regressions for write-health detection, in-place repair preserving
rows + resuming writes, the already_healthy shortcut, and the gateway guard.
Combines the approaches from #50504 (@0-CYBERDYNE-SYSTEMS-0, issue author),
#52165 (@davidgut1982), and #50576 (@trevorgordon981).
After `hermes update`, a globally-installed agent-browser's npm postinstall
(fixUnixSymlink) re-points the global symlink (e.g. /opt/homebrew/bin/agent-browser)
at our local node_modules binary. The next update wipes node_modules, leaving a
dangling symlink that `which` still reports but exec fails on with exit 127 —
silently breaking every browser tool (#48521).
Root cause is trust-on-presence: shutil.which/Path.exists accept a name that
resolves but won't run. Add hermes_constants.agent_browser_runnable() (resolves
the path + runs --version) and gate all four resolution sites on it:
_find_agent_browser now skips a dead candidate and falls through to the next
working one (extended PATH -> local .bin -> npx), self-healing the dangling link.
dep_ensure/doctor/nous_subscription validate too; doctor warns on a broken link.
Closes#48521.
* feat(providers): remove google-gemini-cli + google-antigravity OAuth providers
Google now actively bans accounts for third-party tools that piggyback on
Gemini CLI / Antigravity / Code Assist OAuth, and because abuse prevention
sits at a backend layer the ban can extend to the entire Google account
(Gmail/Drive), with a second violation being permanent.
Ref: https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/20632
Removes both OAuth inference providers entirely (modules, provider profiles,
auth/runtime/config/models wiring, the /gquota Code Assist quota command,
the antigravity-cli optional skill, desktop + docs surface in en + zh-Hans).
The API-key 'gemini' provider (GOOGLE_API_KEY/GEMINI_API_KEY against
generativelanguage.googleapis.com) is unaffected and stays fully supported.
* fix(skills): keep the antigravity-cli skill — only the OAuth provider is removed
The antigravity-cli optional skill orchestrates the external `agy` binary as
a coding-agent tool via the terminal tool — it does NOT wrap Hermes inference
through the banned google-antigravity OAuth provider, so it carries none of
the account-ban risk that motivated removing that provider. Restore the skill,
its docs page, the sidebar entry, and the optional-skills catalog row. The
google-antigravity / google-gemini-cli inference providers stay fully removed.
doctor's npm audit hardcoded PROJECT_ROOT/scripts/whatsapp-bridge. In
read-only Docker installs the bridge deps live in the writable HERMES_HOME
mirror (#49561), so node_modules was never found there and the bridge audit
silently skipped. Resolve the dir through the shared
resolve_whatsapp_bridge_dir() helper so doctor audits where deps actually
install. Falls back to the install-tree path if the helper is unavailable.
The skin bug was one instance of a class: several subsystems build their
config dict directly from config.yaml instead of routing through
hermes_cli.config.load_config (which carries the managed merge), so they
silently ignored administrator-pinned values. Audited every config.yaml
reader and fixed the behavioral-read bypasses:
- gateway/config.py load_gateway_config (messaging gateway: session_reset,
quick_commands, stt, model, ...)
- gateway/run.py _load_gateway_config (its read_raw_config fast path also
skipped the merge — read_raw_config returns raw user YAML)
- tui_gateway/server.py _load_cfg (new TUI + desktop backend: skin,
reasoning_effort, service_tier, provider_routing)
- cron/scheduler.py (scheduled-job model/reasoning/toolsets/provider_routing)
- hermes_logging.py (logging.level/max_size_mb/backup_count)
- hermes_time.py (timezone)
- hermes_cli/doctor.py (memory-provider diagnostic reads effective config)
All route through a new shared managed_scope.apply_managed_overlay() helper
that mirrors _load_config_impl (env-only expansion so a user ${VAR} can't
shadow a managed literal, root-model-string normalization, leaf-merge) and is
fail-open. cli.py's earlier inline fix is refactored onto the same helper.
Write-back paths (slash_commands, telegram/yuanbao dm_topics, profile
distribution) are deliberately left reading raw user YAML — overlaying managed
values there would persist them into the user file. The dashboard
(web_server.py) already routes through load_config and needed no change.
TUI loader caches the RAW config so _save_cfg never writes managed values to
disk. Adds test_managed_scope_overlay.py (helper) and
test_managed_scope_loaders.py (per-surface integration); mutation-checked.
- show_config prints an administrator header naming the managed source and
lists the pinned config/env keys when a scope is active (silent otherwise).
- hermes doctor gains a managed_scope_check under Configuration Files that
reports the resolved managed dir + pinned key counts, and flags a
HERMES_MANAGED_DIR redirect (the documented foot-gun).
NVIDIA NIM API uses vendor-prefixed model IDs (e.g. qwen/qwen3.5-122b-a10b,
nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b). The doctor command incorrectly warns that
vendor-prefixed slugs belong to aggregators like openrouter when nvidia is
the configured provider.
Add 'nvidia' to the providers_accepting_vendor_slugs set so doctor no longer
raises false-positive warnings for valid NVIDIA NIM configurations.
Fixes#35425
A stale certifi CA bundle after a partial `hermes update` used to crash
the agent on the first outbound HTTPS call with a raw traceback and
trap the gateway in a retry loop.
This patch:
* Adds `agent/errors.py` with a typed `SSLConfigurationError`
* Adds `agent/ssl_guard.py` with a `verify_ca_bundle()` pre-flight
that asserts the bundle exists, is non-trivial in size, and can build
a working SSLContext. On macOS, it falls back to the system trust
store when the bundle is empty but the system store is healthy
(covers corporate proxies / MDM setups).
* Wires the guard into `run_agent.py` and `gateway/run.py` right
after the `hermes_bootstrap` import, inside a try/except so a bug
in the guard itself can never prevent startup.
* Adds a `SSL / CA Certificates` section to `hermes_cli doctor` so
users can detect the failure with one command.
* Adds unit tests covering the healthy, missing, empty, skip-env, and
macOS-fallback paths.
* Adds an RCA document describing the failure mode and the recovery
path (`pip install -e .`).
When the bundle is broken the user sees:
\u26a0\ufe0f SSL certificate bundle issue detected.
Run: pip install -e .
`HERMES_SKIP_SSL_GUARD=1` disables the check for sandboxed
environments that ship their own trust store.
Root-level npm audit fix can crash with isDescendantOf on the same monorepo tree, so workspace audit advisories should explain the lockfile-bump path instead of recommending another manual npm fix command.
`hermes doctor` flagged the web/ui-tui workspaces and told the user to run
`npm audit fix --workspace <name>`, which crashes current npm with
"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')" (an arborist bug with
workspace-filtered audit fix). Recommend the root-level `npm audit fix`
instead.
Even the root form can hit a known npm arborist crash (edgesOut /
isDescendantOf) on this monorepo tree, so add a note that these workspace
advisories are build-time tooling (esbuild/vite, etc.) — not runtime code —
and clear via a lockfile bump rather than a manual fix. This keeps doctor
from handing users a command that errors out and from implying a broken
Hermes install.
* fix(state.db): recover from malformed sqlite_master so hidden sessions reappear
The corruption class behind "Desktop/Dashboard show no sessions while
hundreds of session files sit on disk" is a malformed sqlite_master — most
often a duplicate object row, e.g. two CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE messages_fts
entries — surfacing as:
sqlite3.DatabaseError: malformed database schema (messages_fts) -
table messages_fts already exists
SQLite parses the whole schema while preparing the FIRST statement on a
connection, so on this class every statement fails before it runs: PRAGMA
journal_mode (which is where SessionDB.__init__ actually trips, in
apply_wal_with_fallback, BEFORE _init_schema), PRAGMA integrity_check, and
even DROP TABLE. The only operations that still work are
PRAGMA writable_schema=ON plus direct sqlite_master surgery. A plain
FTS-index rebuild at the _init_schema layer therefore cannot reach or fix
this; the canonical sessions/messages rows are intact — only the derived
schema is broken.
Add a dedicated recovery that operates where the failure actually happens:
- hermes_state.repair_state_db_schema(): backs up the raw file first, then a
least-destructive ladder — (1) de-duplicate sqlite_master keeping the
lowest rowid per object (preserves the existing FTS index), escalating to
(2) drop every messages_fts* schema object + VACUUM and let the next open
rebuild the FTS index from messages. sessions/messages are never modified.
Plus is_malformed_db_error() to discriminate this class.
- SessionDB.__init__ auto-heals: on a malformed-schema open error it repairs
once (process-guarded against loops / concurrent web_server opens) and
reopens, so Desktop/Dashboard recover on their own instead of silently
showing "no sessions".
- hermes doctor --fix detects the malformed class and repairs it (reporting
the recovered session count + backup name).
- hermes sessions repair [--check-only] [--no-backup] runs on the raw file
path, since SessionDB() itself cannot open a malformed DB.
Supersedes #32589 and #33869: both targeted FTS corruption but gated their
repair behind statements (integrity_check / SELECT / DROP TABLE) that
themselves fail on this class, and neither addressed the apply_wal_with_fallback
open-time failure. Credit preserved via Co-authored-by.
Closes#33865.

- check_dir = npm_dir if audit_extra else npm_dir evaluated identically in
both branches; change to PROJECT_ROOT if audit_extra else npm_dir so
workspace-scoped audits check the workspace root's node_modules
- Add test_npm_install_uses_workspace_web_scope asserting --workspace web is
passed adjacently in the _build_web_ui npm install invocation
Root package.json uses apps/* workspaces glob which unconditionally
includes apps/desktop (Electron + node-pty@1.1.0, ~200MB, requires
make/g++ to build) in every unscoped npm command run from the repo root.
This commit addresses the core problem by adding explicit workspace
scoping to all internal npm calls:
hermes_cli/main.py (_build_web_ui):
- Add --workspace web to the npm install call so only the web
workspace deps are resolved, never apps/desktop.
hermes_cli/tools_config.py:
- Add --workspaces=false to agent-browser and Camofox root installs
so only root-level deps (agent-browser, @streamdown/math) are
installed, bypassing the workspace graph entirely.
hermes_cli/doctor.py (run_doctor npm audit):
- Replace the single unscoped 'npm audit --json' at PROJECT_ROOT with
three scoped invocations:
* --workspaces=false for root deps (Browser tools)
* --workspace web for the web workspace
* --workspace ui-tui for the TUI workspace
- Update remediation hints to use matching scoped 'npm audit fix'
commands so users don't accidentally trigger a desktop rebuild.
package.json:
- Add convenience scripts for scoped operations:
npm run install:root / install:web / install:tui / install:desktop
npm run audit:root / audit:web / audit:tui
npm run audit:fix:root / audit:fix:web / audit:fix:tui
These give developers and CI a safe, explicit interface for the
most common per-workspace tasks without accidentally pulling desktop.
Fixes#38772
* fix(doctor): detect + repair stale HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS .env ghost shadowing config.yaml
hermes doctor now flags when ~/.hermes/.env carries a HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS
value that disagrees with agent.max_turns in config.yaml, and 'hermes doctor
--fix' removes the stale .env line so config.yaml is authoritative. 'hermes
config show' surfaces the same drift inline under Max turns.
The setup wizard stopped dual-writing this value, but users who edited only
config.yaml from a pre-fix install keep a .env ghost. The gateway bridge
normally overrides it at startup, but if the bridge bails on any earlier
config-parse error the ghost silently wins — config says 400 while the
gateway activity line reads N/90.
The detector reads the .env FILE directly (load_env), not get_env_value/
os.environ, since the startup bridge may already have overwritten os.environ
with the config value.
Closes#17534.
* fix(config): stop offering HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS as an editable env var
Removes HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so the dashboard env
editor (PUT /api/env) and any env-var prompt no longer let a user write it
to .env — which would recreate the stale ghost that shadows config.yaml's
agent.max_turns (issue #17534). The iteration budget is configured only via
config.yaml; the env var stays a read-only backward-compat fallback in the
gateway/CLI, never a promoted write target.
Regression test asserts it is absent from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS.
A git conflict resolution (reset --hard or merge) can revert
hermes_cli/__init__.py to a stale __version__ while pyproject.toml stays
current, so 'hermes --version' silently reports the wrong version. Nothing
cross-checked the two files.
Add a version-consistency check to the doctor 'Python Environment' section:
reads the [project] version from pyproject.toml and compares it to
hermes_cli.__version__. Reports OK when they match, fails with a re-sync
hint when they drift, and is a silent no-op for installed wheels where
pyproject.toml isn't present.

selected); this is a one-time cleanup, not a config change
Verification:
- python -m compileall: clean
- pytest --collect-only: all 27161 tests collect (zero import errors)
- core entry points import clean (run_agent, model_tools, cli,
toolsets, hermes_state, batch_runner, gateway)
- static scan: every name any test imports directly from an edited
module still resolves
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend
Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI
Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators
(Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should
switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH.
What's removed:
- `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin
- `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper
- `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend
- `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models,
config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump
- `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools,
code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool,
environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder,
cli, gateway/run
- `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client
header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases
- `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock
- env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`,
`VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`,
`TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME`
- Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and
test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23
surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were
dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox)
- Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security
notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans
i18n parity
- `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list
What stays (intentional):
- `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference,
unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product
- `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN
response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint
- `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda
browser project, different OSS effort
- `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel
Sandbox — archive, not active docs
Validation:
- 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`)
- Full repo `py_compile` clean
- Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no
`ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no
`vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`)
* test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant
The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed.
Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship
(registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count.
Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected.
Reported via AskClaw. When config.yaml has `model: <name>` (flat string)
instead of the nested `model: {default: ..., provider: ...}` form, every
gateway `/model X --global` crashed silently with
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment
The persist block did:
model_cfg = cfg.setdefault("model", {})
model_cfg["default"] = result.new_model
`setdefault` returns the existing scalar, and the next assignment blows
up. The 'switch failed' warning was logged at WARNING level and the user
never saw why their persist didn't stick.
Coerce scalar/None `model:` into a dict before mutation, in both the
gateway path (`gateway/run.py`) and the sister site in
`hermes_cli/doctor.py --fix` (same setdefault-on-string flaw). The CLI
`/model` path is unaffected because it goes through `_set_nested` which
already replaces scalar leaves with dicts.
Regression test `tests/gateway/test_model_command_flat_string_config.py`
covers the flat-string, missing, and proper-dict cases. Without the fix,
the flat-string case fails with the exact original TypeError.
.env holds API keys and secrets. Multiple creation sites used `cp` /
`touch` / `shutil.copy2` which obey the process umask — commonly
0o022, leaving the file at 0o644 (world-readable). Apply chmod 0o600
explicitly at every site that creates or copies .env.
Sites covered:
- docker/stage2-hook.sh: after the seed_one '.env' call, applied
unconditionally (not just on first-seed) so a host-mounted .env with
loose perms gets tightened on every container restart
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: 'hermes doctor --fix' touches an empty .env
when missing
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: 'hermes profile create --clone' copies .env
from the source profile; shutil.copy2 preserves source mode, so a
source .env at 0o644 was being cloned into 0o644
- setup-hermes.sh: in-tree setup script's cp .env.example .env path,
plus the already-exists branch (mirror of install.sh which already
chmods 600 unconditionally on line 1442)
scripts/install.sh was NOT changed — it already chmod 600's the .env
unconditionally after the create/already-exists branches (line 1442).
Salvaged from PR #25726 by @dusterbloom. The docker/entrypoint.sh
portion of the original PR was dropped because main switched to an
s6-overlay shim — the .env creation logic moved to stage2-hook.sh,
which is where the chmod now lives.
Closes#25497 (subset — install.sh + setup-hermes.sh) and #8448
(subset — install.sh only) as superseded.

Phase 5 of the s6-overlay supervision plan. Documentation + small
diagnostic cleanups; no behavior changes.
website/docs/user-guide/docker.md:
- Replace the old 'entrypoint script does the bootstrap' section
with the s6-overlay boot flow (cont-init.d/01-hermes-setup,
cont-init.d/02-reconcile-profiles, static main-hermes + dashboard
services, ENTRYPOINT-as-main-program pattern).
- Add a 'Per-profile gateway supervision' subsection covering the
new lifecycle commands, restart semantics, log persistence, and
'Manager: s6 (container supervisor)' status reporting.
- Add 'Breaking change vs. pre-s6 images' callout naming the
/init ENTRYPOINT and pointing affected wrappers at the pin
workaround.
website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md:
- Add a note under 'Persistent services' pointing container users
at the docker.md section explaining s6 supervision inside the
image. Host-side systemd/launchd documentation is unchanged.
skills/software-development/hermes-s6-container-supervision/SKILL.md:
- New maintainer skill covering the supervision-tree map, file
layout, the Architecture B rationale (cont-init.d args + halt
exit-code propagation), quick recipes, and the 8 pitfalls we hit
while implementing the plan (PATH-without-/command, root-owned
profile dirs, SOUL.md as marker, the '143' anti-pattern, etc.).
hermes_cli/doctor.py:
- _check_gateway_service_linger skips on s6 (the linger concept
doesn't apply inside the container).
- New _check_s6_supervision section reports main-hermes/dashboard
state and per-profile-gateway count (registered vs supervised
up), only inside the s6 container. Host doctor output unchanged.
- External Tools / Docker check no longer emits a 'docker not
found' warning inside the container; prints an explanatory
info line instead. Still respects an explicit TERMINAL_ENV=docker
(in case the user mounted /var/run/docker.sock).
hermes_cli/gateway.py:
- Document _container_systemd_operational more precisely: it's
NOT for our Hermes Docker image (s6-overlay handles that via
detect_service_manager() == 's6'). It still covers
systemd-nspawn / k8s-with-systemd-init cases, so leaving it in
place is correct; the docstring just makes that explicit.
Test harness (verification, no test changes in this commit):
19 passed, 0 xfailed. 66 service-manager / container-boot /
profiles-s6-hooks / gateway-s6-dispatch unit tests still green.
61 doctor tests still green. Hadolint + shellcheck clean.
Refs: docs/plans/2026-05-07-s6-overlay-dynamic-subagent-gateways.md
Add a new section in run_doctor that lists retired xAI model
references found in the active config and points the user at the
official xAI migration guide.
Each retired reference shows its config path (principal.model,
auxiliary.<slot>.model, delegation.model, tts.xai.model, or
plugins.image_gen.xai.model), the recommended replacement, and
whether reasoning_effort needs to be set (for non-reasoning variants
that map to grok-4.3 + reasoning_effort=none).
Findings are appended to manual_issues so the final doctor summary
reminds the user to update their config.yaml manually (no automatic
YAML rewriting in this PR — preserves comments, key order, types).
Wrapped in try/except so doctor still completes if load_config or
the retirement module raise unexpectedly.
`hermes doctor` printed 'codex CLI not installed (optional — ...)' as a
generic info line at the bottom of the auth section, several rows below
'OpenAI Codex auth (not logged in)' and after MiniMax/Gemini auth checks.
Users reading sequentially mistook it for MiniMax-related advice.
Move the hint up under the Codex auth warning so it's adjacent to the
row it actually pertains to. Behavior unchanged when the codex CLI is
installed (success path keeps its 'codex CLI ✓' row at the bottom).
Tests cover both placement and suppression cases.
Salvage of @xxxigm's 3-commit stack (#27986).
Closes#27975.
`hermes_cli/doctor.py` had two recurring patterns:
1. **15 section headers** of the form `print() ; print(color("◆ Name", Colors.CYAN, Colors.BOLD))`
bracketed by 3-line `# =====` / `# Check: X` / `# =====` comment banners.
2. **Paired `check_fail(...) ; issues.append(...)`** for every diagnostic that emits both a
user-visible failure and an auto-fix instruction.
Add two helpers and collapse the patterns:
def _section(title):
print()
print(color(f"◆ {title}", Colors.CYAN, Colors.BOLD))
def _fail_and_issue(text, detail, fix, issues):
check_fail(text, detail)
issues.append(fix)
Replacements:
- 15 `# =====/# X/# =====` banner triples + section header pairs compressed to `_section(...)`
- All 18 `check_fail + issues.append` pairs collapsed to `_fail_and_issue(...)` (single-line
where the call fits under 120 chars, multi-line where it doesn't)
- Net -5 LOC (`+128 / -133`)
The LOC delta is modest after wrapping long calls onto multi-line form for readability — the
real win is uniform call shape and removal of two parallel-pattern footguns. There is now
exactly one way to emit a diagnostic that pairs a user-visible failure with a fix instruction.
Behavior is byte-identical. `_section` produces the same blank line + bold-cyan output the
inline two prints did, and `_fail_and_issue` does the same `check_fail + issues.append`
sequence in the same order. Verified empirically by diffing live `run_doctor()` stdout from
this branch against `origin/main` — `diff -q` reports zero differences.
Test plan:
- All 69 tests across test_doctor.py, test_doctor_command_install.py, and
test_doctor_dedicated_provider_skip.py pass
- `ruff check hermes_cli/doctor.py` clean
- Live `run_doctor()` output byte-identical to origin/main
Refs #23972 (Phase 2 tracker — dedup-only refactor in line with the "net-LOC-negative"
discipline).
`hermes doctor` displayed OAuth status for Nous, Codex, Gemini, and MiniMax
but silently omitted xAI OAuth, even though `get_xai_oauth_auth_status()`
exists and the same information is already surfaced in `hermes status`.
Add xAI OAuth as a *separate* try/except block so an import failure cannot
silence the already-printed provider rows above it — consistent with the
per-provider isolation introduced in the doctor fallback fix.
Tests:
- 9 new tests in TestDoctorXaiOAuthStatus covering: logged-in ok, not-logged-in
warn, error line present/absent, import failure isolation, runtime exception
and None-return safety.
- 9 existing run_doctor helpers updated to mock get_xai_oauth_auth_status for
deterministic output.
Shared try/except import block meant that if any one status function was
missing, all providers lost their OAuth fallback suppression. Split into
per-provider try/except so each branch is independently safe.
Add end-to-end test for xAI: bad XAI_API_KEY with healthy OAuth does not
surface a blocking issue in run_doctor output. Add tests for None return,
import failure isolation (xAI missing does not break Gemini), and move
test_returns_false_for_unknown_provider out of the xAI-specific class.
_has_healthy_oauth_fallback_for_apikey_provider() covers Gemini and
MiniMax (added by #26853) but omits xAI. The xAI provider profile
(plugins/model-providers/xai/__init__.py) has auth_type="api_key" and
env_vars=("XAI_API_KEY",), so it enters the generic API-key
connectivity loop. When XAI_API_KEY fails a 401 probe but xAI OAuth
is healthy, the failure is promoted to the blocking summary even though
xAI works fine via OAuth — the same false-positive #26853 fixed for
Gemini and MiniMax.
Fix: import get_xai_oauth_auth_status alongside the existing two
helpers and add the "xai" branch. get_xai_oauth_auth_status() already
exists in hermes_cli/auth.py and returns {"logged_in": True} when a
valid OAuth token is present.
Symmetric with the Gemini and MiniMax branches introduced in #26853.
No behavior change for providers without an OAuth path.
