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
Sessions no longer auto-reset by default. SessionResetPolicy.mode now
defaults to "none" (was "both": 24h idle + daily 4am), matching the
setup wizard's existing no-reset default and community feedback that
surprise context loss hurts more than it helps.
- gateway/config.py: dataclass default + from_dict fallback -> "none";
installs whose config.yaml lacks a session_reset section stop
auto-resetting
- hermes_cli/setup.py: "Never auto-reset" is now the recommended/default
choice in hermes setup agent; stale comment updated
- docs (en + zh-Hans): default is no auto-reset, opt in via
session_reset in config.yaml
Users who explicitly configured idle/daily/both resets keep them.
Add a per-platform `cron_continuable_surface` extra key
(`thread` default | `in_channel`) so a continuable cron job can deliver
FLAT into a Slack channel — no dedicated thread — and still be
replied-to. In `in_channel` mode the scheduler skips the thread-open
branch (leaves `thread_id=None`); the shipped origin-mirror then seeds
the `(slack, chat_id, None)` shared-channel session — the same bucket
`reply_in_thread: false` routes inbound channel replies to — so a plain
channel reply continues the job in context.
Design: specs/cron-inchannel-continuable (D1–D7, F5). Model B
(shared-channel session), NOT anchoring to the delivery `ts` — on Slack
replying to a specific message IS threading, so a `ts` anchor would only
relocate the thread, never deliver true threadless continuable.
- gateway/platforms/base.py: `supports_inchannel_continuable` capability
flag (default False → unsupported platforms fail SAFE to `thread`).
- plugins/platforms/slack/adapter.py: flag=True; `_cron_continuable_surface()`
resolver (coerces to the two-value enum); `_warn_if_inchannel_without_flat_reply`
connect-time warning (D5: warn, not hard-require — the misconfig fails safe).
- gateway/config.py: shared-key bridge line (top-level OR nested config).
- cron/scheduler.py: read the key generically from platform config, gate
the `in_channel` branch on the adapter capability flag, skip thread-open.
No new seed function (reuses the existing mirror — G6).
Pairing (docs): `in_channel` + `reply_in_thread: false` +
`require_mention: false` (or a free-response channel). Missing
`reply_in_thread: false` fails safe to a threaded continuation.
Gateway-side config flag — `/restart` to apply; NO Slack app reinstall.
Tests (from inside the worktree, PYTHONPATH=$PWD):
- +6 cron scheduler tests (in_channel skips thread-open; seeds flat
channel session with thread_id=None; thread-mode regression;
fail-safe on unsupported platform; value coercion). Prove-fail:
removing the `and not in_channel_surface` guard turns the two
load-bearing tests RED; restore → GREEN.
- +10 slack resolver/capability/warning tests; +2 config-bridge tests.
- tests/manual/cron_inchannel_e2e.py: offline E2E driving BOTH real
legs (delivery seed + inbound reply keying) → both converge on
(slack, C, None).
- No regressions: test_slack.py 216 passed alone; broader sweep green
(4 pre-existing cross-file-ordering failures reproduce identically on
pristine origin/main).
Docs: cron.md + slack.md + zh-Hans mirrors of both.
Remove scripts/setup_open_webui.sh and its 'one-command local bootstrap'
doc sections (EN + zh-Hans). The script pip-installed the third-party Open
WebUI frontend into ~/.local and managed a launchd/systemd user service —
a maintenance liability for downstream software we don't own, and the source
of the LAN first-admin signup footgun in #36121.
The Open WebUI *integration* via the OpenAI-compatible API server is
unaffected: the Docker/Docker-Compose setup, multi-user profile guide, and
troubleshooting in open-webui.md stay, and Open WebUI remains a listed
supported frontend. Only the install-and-service bootstrapper is gone.
Replace the interim monospace table fallback with Slack's native `table`
block (rows of rich_text cells). Addresses the core ask in #18918.
- _table_block(): builds type:"table" with rich_text cells, so inline
formatting (bold, links, code) renders inside cells.
- Column alignment parsed from the markdown separator row (:---, :-:, --:)
into column_settings (left = default/null-skip, center/right emitted).
- Escaped pipes (\\|) are not treated as column separators.
- Respects Slack's table limits (100 rows / 20 cols / 10k aggregate chars);
oversized or unparseable tables gracefully fall back to aligned monospace
(rich_text_preformatted), so a big table never breaks the message.
Docs (EN + zh-Hans) updated to describe native tables + the fallback.
Tests: native table shape, alignment->column_settings, inline-formatted
cells, oversized/too-wide monospace fallback, escaped-pipe cell. Prove-
failed against a stubbed _table_block (native-table tests fail, fallback
tests stay green). All existing Slack tests still pass.
Add platforms.slack.extra.rich_blocks (default off). When enabled, the
final agent message is sent as Slack Block Kit blocks — section headers,
dividers, and true nested lists via rich_text — instead of flat mrkdwn.
- New plugins/platforms/slack/block_kit.py: pure markdown->blocks renderer
(headers, dividers, nested ordered/bullet lists, blockquotes, fenced code;
pipe-tables as aligned monospace since Block Kit has no robust table block).
Enforces Slack's 50-block / 3000-char section limits and returns None to
fall back to plain text on empty/oversized/unexpected input. Never raises.
- adapter.send(): render blocks on the single-chunk primary message; a
text= fallback is ALWAYS sent alongside (notifications/accessibility).
- adapter.edit_message(): blocks only on finalize=True, so intermediate
streaming edits stay plain mrkdwn (no per-flush block re-derivation).
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) + config example. Send-side only: no app reinstall.
Tests: pure-renderer unit suite + adapter integration suite (blocks present
when on, plain text when off, text fallback always set, finalize gating,
multi-chunk fallback). Prove-failed against a stubbed renderer.
Add a generic per-platform PlatformConfig.typing_indicator flag (default
True) that gates the _keep_typing refresh loop in
_process_message_background. When false, the loop is never spawned, so no
typing/"is thinking…" status is shown on that platform — message delivery
is otherwise unchanged.
Mirrors the gateway_restart_notification contract exactly: dataclass field
+ to_dict/from_dict (with extra-fallback resolution) + shared-key bridge in
load_gateway_config, so 'slack: typing_indicator: false' under platforms
works without a separate block. Generic by design — the same key works for
every platform (Slack 'is thinking…', Telegram/Discord/Signal typing).
Motivated by users who find Slack's assistant 'is thinking…' status noisy
(it also briefly disables the compose box, via the Assistant API).
Follow-up to the group-DM manifest fix. The manifest change only helps
NEW installs; existing apps keep their old (mpim-less) scopes until the
admin reinstalls. Since a missing message.mpim event delivers nothing
(no runtime API error to catch), detect stale installs at connect time
from the auth.test x-oauth-scopes header and log an actionable reinstall
nudge when im:history is granted but mpim:history is not. Also promote
message.mpim from Recommended to Required in the docs event tables so the
default setup path can't drop it.
Group DMs (multi-person DMs, channel_type=mpim) were never delivered to
the Slack bot. The adapter already classifies mpim as a DM and replies
ambiently (adapter.py:2526, is_dm = channel_type in {im, mpim}), but the
generated app manifest only subscribed to message.im / im:history — the
1:1 DM pair. Without the message.mpim event subscription Slack drops
group-DM messages before the adapter ever sees them, so 1:1 DMs worked
while group-DM ambient mode was dead.
Add message.mpim to bot_events and mpim:history (the scope that event
requires per Slack docs) + mpim:read (mirrors im:read for the
conversations.info classification call) to bot_scopes. Update the
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_APP_TOKEN setup-help strings and the Slack docs
(EN + zh-Hans: scope table, event table, troubleshooting) so existing
installs are told to add the new scopes and reinstall.
Reported by an enterprise customer. Note: this is a manifest/scope
change, so it only takes effect after the app is reinstalled and the
new scopes are accepted.
Tests: assert message.mpim + mpim:history + mpim:read are in the
manifest (with and without assistant mode); both fail on current main
and pass with this change.
* docs: stop recommending pip install hermes-agent; point to install script
The install script is the only supported install path (it provisions a
managed, isolated uv environment). Replace bare `pip install hermes-agent`
primary-install recommendations with the curl install script, and rewrite
optional-extra snippets (`pip install "hermes-agent[X]"`) to the managed-env
form `cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[X]"` that matches the
installer and the English quickstart.
Covers English docs + zh-Hans mirrors, the achievements plugin README, and
realigns the zh-Hans quickstart to the English Desktop-installer-first layout
(dropping its stale "Method A — pip (simplest)" section).
* docs: drop pip as a supported install/update method
Removes the 'pip installs' supported-method sections from updating.md and
cli-commands.md (EN + zh-Hans): the curl install script is the only supported
way to install/update the Hermes CLI. The _cmd_update_pip pip/pipx branches
remain in code as an undocumented safety net for users who already have such an
install, but the docs no longer advertise pip as a path.
Also normalizes a bare `pip install -e '.[acp]'` to the managed-env form.
Leaves python-library.md untouched: importing AIAgent as a library dependency
into your own project is a distinct use case where pip is correct.
Rich messages are not ready for primetime: current Telegram clients can
render Bot API 10.1 rich messages as blank/unsupported bubbles and make
them hard to copy as plain text, which is worse than the legacy
MarkdownV2 path for command snippets and mobile handoffs. Default the
rich_messages toggle to False so replies stay on the copyable legacy
path; users opt in per bot via platforms.telegram.extra.rich_messages:
true. Updates adapter, gateway config default, example config, English +
zh-Hans docs, and the default/opt-in tests.
Streamed Telegram replies that finalize through editMessageText were
converted to MarkdownV2, which has no table syntax and rewrites pipe
tables into bullet lists — users saw a table while streaming that
collapsed to a list at the last moment.
Finalize now edits the existing preview IN PLACE via Bot API 10.1's
editMessageText rich_message parameter when the content has constructs
the legacy path degrades (tables, task lists, <details>, block math).
No fresh send + delete, so no duplicate-preview flicker — the reason
#46206 reverted the fresh-final re-send path. prefers_fresh_final_streaming
stays False; the in-place edit replaces it.
- _needs_rich_rendering(): rich reserved for table/task-list/details/math
(adapted from #45995, @YonganZhang); plain replies stay on MarkdownV2.
- _try_edit_rich(): editMessageText + rich_message via do_api_request,
mirroring _try_send_rich's fallback/latch/transient contract.
- edit_message finalize tries rich in place before the 4,096 overflow
pre-flight (rich cap is 32,768), falling back to legacy on rejection.
- rich_messages default flipped back to True (DEFAULT_CONFIG + adapter).
- docs (en + zh-Hans) + cli-config example updated to default-on.
Closes the root cause behind #45911 / #46009.
Remove the rich_messages config toggle entirely so Telegram replies always try the Bot API 10.1 rich-message path first, with the existing MarkdownV2 fallback/latch behavior for unsupported endpoints and per-message failures.
Restore the Telegram platform hint to encourage rich Markdown tables/task lists/math now that the rich path is the default, and remove the config/docs surface for the old toggle.
- Use reply_parameters per the sendRichMessage spec instead of the
undocumented reply_to_message_id scalar (silently ignored -> reply
anchor quietly dropped).
- Latch rich sends off after an endpoint-capability failure (old PTB /
server without sendRichMessage) so every later reply doesn't pay a
doomed extra roundtrip; per-message BadRequests do NOT latch.
- Default rich_messages to OFF (opt-in) while the day-old Bot API 10.1
endpoint is validated live; revert the prompt-hint table guidance
until the default flips on.
- Tests: reply_parameters shape, send-latch behavior, BadRequest
non-latch; rich tests opt in explicitly via extra.
Introduce opportunistic support for Telegram Bot API 10.1 rich messages by sending raw agent Markdown via sendRichMessage and streaming previews via sendRichMessageDraft. Implements a rich-path fast‑path in gateway/platforms/telegram.py (RICH_MESSAGE_MAX_BYTES=32768, feature gate platforms.telegram.extra.rich_messages, bot capability checks, routing/thread handling, and conservative fallback rules: permanent/capability errors fall back to the legacy MarkdownV2 path, transient/network errors are surfaced without legacy-resend). Also add a latch for draft capability failures (_rich_draft_disabled) and preserve legacy chunking and draft behavior when needed. Update agent prompt hints (telegram encourages rich Markdown/tables), add CLI config example option, update English and Chinese docs to describe rich messages and fallbacks, and add/adjust tests for rich send and draft behavior.
Mirrors the EN deep-audit fixes (PR #40952) into the zh-Hans translation so the
two locales agree. zh-Hans is the only non-English locale; 26 translated pages
carried the same stale claims.
Corrections ported (code tokens identical across locales; prose re-translated
where the surrounding text was already Chinese):
- reference: /version slash command + dual-surface list; cli --provider adds
openai-api + novita aliases; tool count 70->71 (+ removed phantom "10 RL tools"
and fixed kanban 7->9); model_catalog ttl 24->1.
- user-guide: hermes -w -q -> -w -z; language list 8->16; aux slots 8->11;
docker separate-dashboard claim; gateway-streaming per-platform note;
computer-use frontmatter.
- features: curator prune_builtins truth; codex-runtime aux keys
(context_compression->compression, vision_detect->vision); voice-mode STT/TTS
enums; removed phantom rl toolset.
- integrations: StepFun step-3-mini->step-3.5-flash; web-search backends 4->8;
nous-portal status subcommand.
- messaging: WeCom typing/streaming columns; telegram transport default
edit->auto; sms host 0.0.0.0->127.0.0.1; simplex/ntfy gateway-setup + pairing
approve; line smart-chunking; matrix MATRIX_DM_AUTO_THREAD; msgraph host note.
- developer-guide: entry-point group hermes.plugins->hermes_agent.plugins;
PLUGIN.yaml->plugin.yaml.
Net-new EN sections (mcp mTLS, api-server run-approval, kanban CLI verbs) are
untranslated in zh-Hans and fall back to English source, consistent with the
mirror's existing partial-coverage state. Verified: docusaurus build --locale
zh-Hans succeeds; no new broken anchors from these edits.
Translates the full English docs corpus (335 files) into Simplified
Chinese under website/i18n/zh-Hans/. Combined with PR #31895 (cross-
locale link fix), the 简体中文 locale toggle now serves a complete
Chinese site with working cross-page navigation.
Pipeline:
- Claude Sonnet 4.6 via OpenRouter, 8-way concurrent
- Preserves frontmatter keys, code blocks, MDX/JSX, link URLs, brand
names, and technical jargon (prompt/token/hook/MCP/ACP/etc.)
- Translates only frontmatter title/description and prose
- Two largest files (configuration.md 93KB, research-paper-writing.md
107KB) retried with 64K max_tokens after initial fence-drift
- 3 manual post-fixes for MDX edge cases the model didn't escape:
< in optional-skills-catalog table, double-quotes in an alt= tag,
and a bare URL adjacent to a full-width period
Cost: ~$30 total (Sonnet 4.6 input $3/M + output $15/M).
Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans locales,
no double-prefixed /docs/zh-Hans/docs/ URLs in rendered output,
all in-page navigation resolves correctly.
Translations are machine-generated and may need human review on
specific pages — but they're an enormous improvement over the
previous state (3 zh-Hans pages out of 335).
