Follow-up to ScotterMonk's cron-truncation fix:
- Remove HERMES_DELIVERY_MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT env var. Behavioral config
belongs in config.yaml, not a new HERMES_* env var (.env is secrets
only). The actual bug is fixed entirely by the adapter-aware skip; the
configurable cap was unneeded scope. MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT is a constant
again, collapsing the max_output=0 disable branch and the
audit-vs-truncation threshold divergence.
- Flag the remaining verified-chunking adapters (slack, matrix, feishu,
mattermost, teams, whatsapp, whatsapp_cloud, weixin, bluebubbles,
yuanbao) with splits_long_messages=True so the fix covers the whole
bug class, not just Discord/Telegram. Each verified to chunk in its
own send() via truncate_message().
- SMS deliberately left False: it chunks for normal replies but a
multi-segment cron blast is cost-bearing; the 4000-cap + file save is
the safer default there.
- Update tests: drop the two env-override tests, add a test asserting a
save failure during truncation (non-chunking) propagates.
Gateway-level truncation (MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT=4000) was pre-empting
adapter-side message splitting. Discord and Telegram both chunk long
content natively in their send() via truncate_message(), but the
delivery router truncated to 3800 chars + footer before the adapter
ever saw the full payload — so long cron output was cut short instead
of being delivered as multiple messages (issue #50126).
Changes:
- HERMES_DELIVERY_MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT env var makes the cap configurable
(default 4000, backward compatible). Set to 0 to disable truncation.
- TRUNCATED_VISIBLE (3800) removed — visible portion now derived
dynamically from max_output minus the actual footer length.
- New BasePlatformAdapter.splits_long_messages capability flag (default
False). Adapters that chunk in send() set True; delivery skips
truncation for them but still saves full output to disk as audit.
- Flagged Discord and Telegram (both verified to chunk in send()).
Fixes#50126
Hallucinated 'silence' tokens (*(silent)*, _silent_, the bare '.', '...',
'silent', no response/reply, the mute emoji) are emitted when a persona has
nothing actionable to say. In bot-to-bot channels the receiving bot mirrors
the token back, creating a tight loop that burns API tokens and can crash a
model with 'no content after all retries'. SOUL.md/prompt rules drift across
providers and have already failed in practice, so add a substrate-level guard.
_deliver_to_platform now drops a message whose finalized content is only a
silence-narration token, logs a WARNING with platform/chat_id/truncated
content, and returns {success: True, filtered: 'silence_narration',
delivered: False} instead of calling the adapter. Single chokepoint covers
every platform adapter; the regex is anchored start/end with a 64-char guard
so prose like 'Silence is golden — here is the plan...' or 'Silent install
completed' is never dropped. Local/file delivery is a separate path and is
left untouched. Opt out via gateway.filter_silence_narration: false or the
HERMES_FILTER_SILENCE_NARRATION env override (env wins when set).
Closes#34616
FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#11768
Root cause: target.strip().lower() was lowercasing the entire target string,
corrupting case-sensitive chat IDs like Slack C123ABC and Matrix !RoomABC.
Fix: Only lowercase the platform prefix for case-insensitive matching;
preserve the original case for chat_id and thread_id values.
Automated dead code audit using vulture + coverage.py + ast-grep intersection,
confirmed by Opus deep verification pass. Every symbol verified to have zero
production callers (test imports excluded from reachability analysis).
Removes ~1,534 lines of dead production code across 46 files and ~1,382 lines
of stale test code. 3 entire files deleted (agent/builtin_memory_provider.py,
hermes_cli/checklist.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_setup_model_selection.py).

The delivery target parser uses split(':', 1) which only splits on the
first colon. For the documented format platform:chat_id:thread_id
(e.g. 'telegram:-1001234567890:17585'), thread_id gets munged into
chat_id and is never extracted.
Fix: split(':', 2) to correctly extract all three parts. Also fix
to_string() to include thread_id for proper round-tripping.
The downstream plumbing in _deliver_to_platform() already handles
thread_id correctly (line 292-293) — it just never received a value.
Salvages the two still-relevant fixes from PR #993 onto current main:
- use a 3-tuple LOCAL delivery key so explicit/local-origin targets are not duplicated
- shut down the previous agent-loop ThreadPoolExecutor when resizing the global pool
Adds regression tests for both behaviors.
- Updated CLI to load configuration from user-specific and project-specific YAML files, prioritizing user settings.
- Introduced a new command `/platforms` to display the status of connected messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp).
- Implemented a gateway system for handling messaging interactions, including session management and delivery routing for cron job outputs.
- Added support for environment variable configuration and a dedicated gateway configuration file for advanced settings.
- Enhanced documentation in README.md and added a new messaging.md file to guide users on platform integrations and setup.
- Updated toolsets to include platform-specific capabilities for Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp, ensuring secure and tailored interactions.
