* test(honcho): isolate auth-method prompt from deployment-shape wizard tests
main's wizard suite scripts the cloud prompts without the OAuth auth-method step; auto-answer it in the shared helper so the answer lists stay shape-only.
* docs(honcho): document query-adaptive reasoning level (reasoningHeuristic)
README never mentioned reasoningHeuristic and listed reasoningLevelCap as an orphaned cap with the wrong default (— vs "high"). Add the query-adaptive scaling note + the reasoningHeuristic/reasoningLevelCap rows (grouped under Dialectic & Reasoning), matching the wording already on the hosted honcho.md page, and add a pointer from the memory-providers overview.
* fix(honcho): default the CLI peer prompt to the OAuth consent name
The CLI runs the grant with apply_config=False, so the peerName the user just entered at consent was dropped and the wizard's 'Your name' prompt fell back to $USER. Surface it as a transient OAuthCredential.consent_peer_name (set even when config isn't merged) and seed the prompt default from it.
* feat(honcho): split OAuth client_id by surface (cli=hermes-agent, desktop=hermes-desktop)
resolve_endpoints now picks the client_id from the initiating surface and
threads it through authorize -> token exchange -> persisted grant -> refresh,
so the CLI and desktop register as distinct OAuth clients. Surface-specific
env overrides (HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID_CLI/_DESKTOP) win over the generic
HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID, which still overrides every surface.
* feat(honcho): show OAuth vs API key in status; detect existing OAuth in setup
status now prints 'Auth: OAuth (clientId, token valid Xm/expired)' instead of
masking the OAuth access token as a generic API key; setup notes an existing
OAuth grant when re-run.
* docs(honcho): drop 'shared pool' wording from unified observation mode help
* fix(honcho): cross-process lock around OAuth refresh to prevent grant revocation
The in-process threading lock can't stop a sibling process (another profile or
the desktop app sharing honcho.json) from replaying the single-use refresh
token and tripping reuse-detection, which revokes the whole grant. Guard the
read-refresh-persist section with an OS file lock on <config>.lock so only one
process rotates at a time; the others re-read the freshly-persisted token.
Best-effort: platforms without flock degrade to in-process serialization.
* refactor(honcho): one OAuth client (hermes-agent) for all surfaces
Collapse the per-surface client_id split. CLI and desktop now use a single
client_id (hermes-agent); consent branding/UI still adapt via the source query
param. One grant identity means no clientId-vs-refresh-token desync that could
get the grant revoked. HONCHO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID still overrides for self-hosting.
* fix(honcho): per-session resolves to session_id, never remapped by title
Reorder resolve_session_name so stable identifiers win over labels: gateway
per-chat key first, then the per-session session_id, then the cwd map / title.
A (possibly auto-generated) title can no longer remap a live per-session
conversation onto a second Honcho session mid-stream — fixes the desktop, which
is per-conversation via session_id. Consequence: a gateway's per-chat key now
also wins over a title (titles never remap a stable id).
The card was macOS-only. cua-driver also runs on Windows and Linux, so
fold `cua-driver doctor` (cross-platform binary/health probes) into a
single OS-aware `ready` signal:
- macOS: ready == both TCC grants; keeps the permission rows + grant flow.
- Windows/Linux: no TCC toggles, so ready == driver health, with a
per-OS note (SmartScreen/UIAccess on Windows; X11/XWayland on Linux).
`computer_use_status()` replaces the macOS-only `permissions_status()` and
surfaces `platform`, `ready`, `can_grant`, and the doctor `checks` (non-ok
ones render as warnings). CLI `permissions status`, the REST endpoint, and
the desktop card all key off the one payload. Grant stays macOS-only (400
elsewhere — nothing to grant).
Computer Use already worked through the desktop backend (the cua-driver
toolset enables + installs via Settings -> Skills & Tools), but there was
no in-app way to see or grant the two macOS permissions it needs, so "give
a model my Mac" was tribal knowledge.
The grants attach to cua-driver's OWN TCC identity (com.trycua.driver /
the installed CuaDriver.app), not Hermes -- so no app entitlement is
involved. cua-driver 0.5+ exposes `permissions status/grant`, which we wrap:
- tools/computer_use/permissions.py: thin client over the two subcommands
- hermes computer-use permissions {status,grant}: CLI parity
- GET /api/tools/computer-use/status, POST .../permissions/grant: desktop REST
- ComputerUsePanel: live Accessibility + Screen Recording state with a
Grant button (dialog attributed to CuaDriver), shown in the expanded
Computer Use toolset row. Binary install stays in the existing provider
post-setup runner.
Follow-ups: i18n the card copy; a "Stop driver" control (cua-driver stop)
for the runaway-`serve` case.
Adds auxiliary.background_review.{provider,model} (default auto = main chat
model — unchanged). Set it to a different, cheaper model and the post-turn
self-improvement review runs there for ~3-5x lower cost.
Cache-aware by design: the main chat is warm in the prompt cache, so the
default full-history replay on the main model is cheap cache reads — left
exactly as-is. A different model can't reuse that cache (different key), so
when (and only when) routed to a different model the fork replays a compact
digest instead of the full transcript, minimising what it cold-writes on the
aux model. Same model -> full replay; different model -> digest.
Quality holds in benchmarks: memory capture identical, skill near-identical.
Nothing changes unless you opt in by naming a different model.

The #32091 fix moved every profile's cron jobs into one shared root store,
but never wired the execution-scoping half it recommended: a job still ran
under whichever profile's ticker picked it up, not its owning profile. So a
job created under `hermes -p donna` could execute with the root profile's
.env / config.yaml / credentials.
- jobs.py: create_job auto-captures the active profile (explicit profile=
override available) and stores it on the job; resolve_profile_home() maps a
profile name to its HERMES_HOME; legacy jobs backfill to 'default'.
- scheduler.py: run_job applies the job's profile via a scoped HERMES_HOME
override (env var + in-process ContextVar) before any .env/config/script
load, restored in finally. tick() routes profile-mismatched jobs to the
single-worker sequential pool so the env mutation can't race.
- cronjob tool threads profile through (NOT exposed in the model schema, to
avoid cross-profile privilege escalation); hermes cron add gains --profile.
E2E verified against a temp HERMES_HOME with a real profile dir: a root-profile
ticker runs a profile='donna' job with HERMES_HOME=donna during execution and
restores the ticker env afterward.
Follow-up to the /memory approve fresh-store fix. Both the CLI fallback and
the messaging-gateway handler built a bare MemoryStore() with the hardcoded
default char limits (2200/1375), ignoring the user's configured
memory.memory_char_limit / user_char_limit. A live agent honors those
overrides (agent/agent_init.py), so an approval applied without a live agent
could accept a write the user's lower cap would reject, or vice versa.
Extract a shared tools.memory_tool.load_on_disk_store() factory that reads
the configured limits (falling back to defaults if config can't load) and
wire both the CLI and gateway handlers to it, closing the gap on both
surfaces and de-duplicating the construction block.
The CLI /memory slash handler (cli_commands_mixin._handle_memory_command)
passed self.agent._memory_store straight through, which is None when the
command runs without a live agent — e.g. /memory approve from the Desktop
GUI. The shared write-approval handler then returns "memory store
unavailable" and applies nothing, even with built-in memory enabled and
pending writes present.
Fall back to a freshly loaded on-disk MemoryStore when no live store is
available, mirroring the gateway path (gateway/slash_commands.py). It
persists to the same MEMORY/USER.md and creates MEMORY.md on the first
approved write.

`hermes computer-use install` refused to install on Linux, Windows, and
macOS x86_64 because the pre-install asset probe was hitting the wrong
GitHub endpoint AND duplicating tag-resolution logic the upstream
installer already does correctly.
`_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch()` queried
`https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest`. On trycua/cua:
- cua-driver-rs releases (the binary the installer fetches) are marked
**prerelease** on every cut. GitHub's `/releases/latest` explicitly
skips prereleases.
- The Python package releases (`cua-agent`, `cua-computer`, `cua-train`)
are non-prerelease and end up as the "latest" instead.
Live API check today:
$ curl -sf https://api.github.com/repos/trycua/cua/releases/latest \
| jq '{tag:.tag_name, asset_count: (.assets|length)}'
{ "tag": "agent-v0.8.3", "asset_count": 0 }
The probe sees zero assets, prints "Latest CUA release has no Linux
x86_64 asset", and skips install on every Linux / Windows / macOS-x86_64
host — even though the cua-driver-rs-v0.6.0 release ships 19 binary
assets covering all those platforms.
Filtering `/releases?per_page=N` for the `cua-driver-rs-v*` prefix
fixes the bug, but it duplicates tag-resolution logic the upstream
`_install-rust.sh` already does correctly via `CUA_DRIVER_RS_BAKED_VERSION`
(auto-baked by CD on every release, with a `/releases?per_page=N` API
fallback for dev checkouts). The right answer is to trust that
contract instead of mirroring it in Python where it can drift.
Two paths get the same outcome without the probe:
1. **Fresh install**: run `install.sh` directly. It has the baked
release tag, fetches the right asset, and errors with a clear
message on missing-arch downloads. No preflight needed.
2. **Upgrade path**: `cua_driver_update_check()` (separately added)
shells `cua-driver check-update --json` against the installed
binary, which returns the canonical update answer from the same
source the installer uses.
- `hermes_cli/tools_config.py`: delete `_check_cua_driver_asset_for_arch`
and its two call sites in `install_cua_driver`. Replace with an
inline comment near the top of the module explaining the rationale.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_install_cua_driver.py`: drop the
`TestCheckCuaDriverAssetForArch` block. Add `TestArchProbeRemoval`
with three regressions:
- `test_probe_function_is_gone` — asserts the deleted helpers stay
deleted.
- `test_fresh_install_does_not_call_github_api` — asserts the
install path doesn't hit GitHub directly from Python anymore.
- `test_upgrade_with_binary_does_not_call_github_api_directly` —
same for the upgrade path.
All 9 `test_install_cua_driver` tests pass.

_dashboard_local_update_managed_externally() previously blocked every containerized dashboard from the local update API, even when the running install was a bind-mounted git checkout that can be updated with hermes update.
Allow the dashboard updater only for git installs inside containers, while keeping hosted /opt/data, docker, and pip installs managed externally. Pip remains blocked because its apply path mutates the running container filesystem and is not the self-managed checkout case.
Adds regression coverage for docker, git, and pip install-method handling inside containers, and maps the contributor email for release attribution.

Adds an optional structured completion contract to the standing-goal loop,
adapted from OpenAI Codex's /goal guidance (a durable objective works best
when it names what done means, how to prove it, what not to break, what's in
scope, and when to stop).
A contract has five optional fields — outcome, verification, constraints,
boundaries, stop_when. When set, the continuation prompt tells the agent to
target the verification surface and respect constraints, and the judge marks
the goal done only when the verification criterion is met with concrete
evidence (command result, file excerpt, test output) instead of a loose
"looks done" claim. This tightens the most common /goal failure mode:
premature completion / endless over-continuation on an underspecified goal.
Two ways to set a contract, both backward compatible (bare /goal <text>
behaves exactly as before):
- /goal draft <objective> — expands plain text into a full contract via the
goal_judge aux model (cache-safe side call), falls back to a free-form goal
if the model is unavailable.
- /goal <text> with inline 'field: value' lines (verify:, constraints:,
boundaries:, stop when:, ...). Plain goals with an incidental colon are not
mangled — only known field prefixes are pulled out.
- /goal show prints the active contract.
Contracts persist in SessionDB.state_meta alongside the goal (survive /resume),
compose with /subgoal criteria, and old goal rows load unchanged. CLI + every
gateway platform via the shared GoalManager engine; zero new model tools.
Tests: +18 in tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py (parse/serialize/judge-prompt/
draft/fallback), 73/73 green; 42/42 across the broader goal test surface;
live E2E roundtrip (set -> persist -> reload -> contract-aware prompts) green.
/simplify-code (LOW, flagged by two reviewers): the source tags 'user' /
'project' / 'bundled' were bare string literals scattered across the discovery
scrub and the two mount-time refuse guards. A typo in any one site (e.g.
'users') would SILENTLY disable a security gate with no error — the exact
failure mode this RCE boundary must not have.
Introduce a shared module-level _NON_BUNDLED_PLUGIN_SOURCES frozenset referenced
by both the discovery scrub and the (now single) mount guard, so the
auto-import policy lives in one place. The two mount guards collapse into one
gate that still emits the distinct per-source operator message via a map (no
loss of guidance). Behavior unchanged: 39 RCE-bypass tests pass, and the
constant is mutation-checked (typo'ing it fails the bypass tests).
Defence-in-depth (discovery scrub + mount refuse) is retained intentionally.
* feat(computer_use): disable cua-driver telemetry by default, add opt-in
cua-driver ships anonymous PostHog usage telemetry ENABLED by default
upstream (fires cua_driver_install / cua_driver_doctor events to
eu.i.posthog.com). Hermes now disables it for our users unless they
explicitly opt in.
- New config key `computer_use.cua_telemetry` (default false) in
DEFAULT_CONFIG.
- `cua_backend.cua_driver_child_env()` injects
`CUA_DRIVER_RS_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0` into the child env when telemetry is
disabled (the default); leaves the var untouched on opt-in so the driver
uses its own default. Reads config fail-safe — any error defaults to
telemetry off.
- Routed every cua-driver spawn site through the policy: MCP backend
(StdioServerParameters env), `cua_driver_update_check`, doctor's
health_report Popen, the install.sh/install.ps1 runner, and the
`--version` / status probes.
- Docs: new Telemetry subsection in computer-use.md (EN).
- Tests: tests/computer_use/test_cua_telemetry.py — default disables,
explicit-false disables, opt-in leaves var untouched, config-failure
fails safe, inherited-enabled is overridden off.
Verified live on Linux against the real cua-driver-rs 0.6.0 binary: with
the var=0 the driver reports "telemetry: disabled via
CUA_DRIVER_RS_TELEMETRY_ENABLED" and sends no event; with it unset it logs
"sending event: cua_driver_doctor". 213 computer_use + install tests green.
* fix(dashboard): fold computer_use config category into agent tab
The new computer_use.cua_telemetry key created a single-field dashboard
config category, tripping test_no_single_field_categories (web_server's
invariant that categories with <2 fields must be merged to avoid tab
sprawl). Add computer_use -> agent to _CATEGORY_MERGE, matching the
existing onboarding/telegram single-field folds.
The install pre-flight asset probe queried trycua/cua's `releases/latest`,
which floats across the monorepo's components (agent-*, computer-*, lume-*,
train-*) — most ship zero binary assets. So the probe false-negatived and
hard-blocked `install_cua_driver` (line 770: `if not probe: return False`)
BEFORE the upstream installer ran, on Linux, Windows, and Intel macOS — even
though the installer it gates resolves the right tag and would have succeeded.
Net effect: the normal enable path (`hermes tools` → Computer Use post-setup,
and `hermes computer-use install`) refused to install on every platform this
PR claims to support.
Fix: list `/releases?per_page=100`, pick the newest `cua-driver-rs-v*` tag,
and match its assets on OS-token + arch — mirroring what the upstream
`install.sh` already does. Fail open if no driver release surfaces (installer
remains the source of truth). Adds an OS-token gate so a darwin asset can't
satisfy a Linux probe.
Tests: updated the install-probe fixtures to the list-of-releases shape with
`cua-driver-rs-v*` tags + OS-token asset names; added a regression guard
(`test_releases_latest_tag_ignored_picks_driver_rs_tag`) for the monorepo
floating-latest case. 25/25 install + 192 computer_use tests green.
Verified live: probe returns True for all six platform/arch combos against
the real GitHub releases API.
The runtime gate (check_computer_use_requirements) and the hermes tools
platform_gate both enable linux alongside darwin/win32, but several
docstrings/comments still described Linux as "alpha, gated off until it
flips upstream" — contradicting the code that ships it. Bring the prose in
line with the gate that's actually live:
- tool.py / cua_backend.py module docstrings: Linux is enabled (X11 today,
Wayland via XWayland), not gated off.
- toolsets.py description and hermes tools display name: (macOS/Windows) ->
(macOS/Windows/Linux).
No behavior change — the gate already allowed all three platforms.
Make the computer_use toolset platform-agnostic by driving cua-driver on
macOS, Windows, and Linux. Consumes the 8 cua-driver decoupling surfaces
(capability discovery, structuredContent AX tree, opaque element_token,
click button enum, explicit mimeType, machine-readable manifest,
structured list_windows, structured health_report), each degrading
gracefully on older drivers.
Adds `hermes computer-use doctor` (drives cua-driver health_report with a
per-OS check matrix and an exit 0/1/2 ok/degraded/blocked contract), full
typed wrappers for the previously-uncovered cua-driver tools plus a generic
call_tool escape hatch, per-session agent-cursor lifecycle, platform-aware
system-prompt guidance (host-deterministic, cache-safe), and honors
HERMES_CUA_DRIVER_CMD end-to-end.
Replaces the macOS-only skills/apple/macos-computer-use skill with a
cross-platform skills/computer-use skill, and refreshes the EN + zh-Hans
docs.
Supersedes #44221 (Windows-enablement salvage of #30660).

* feat(goals): add /goal wait <pid> barrier to park the loop on a background process
The /goal loop re-pokes the agent every turn via the post-turn judge. When a
goal is gated on a long-running background process (CI poller, build, test
matrix, deploy) that produces nothing to judge yet, this spins the agent into
'is it done?' busy-work and burns the turn budget.
/goal wait <pid> [reason] parks the loop: while the PID is alive, the judge is
skipped, no turn is consumed, no continuation fires, and /goal status shows a
parked indicator. The barrier auto-clears the moment the process exits (the
agent's notify_on_complete watcher is the natural wake signal), then the next
turn resumes normal judging. /goal unwait clears it manually; pause/resume/clear
drop it; a dead/stale PID can never wedge the loop.
Wired across CLI, gateway, and the mid-run command guard for parity. Barrier
persists in SessionDB.state_meta (survives /resume); GoalState gains
backward-compatible waiting_on_pid/waiting_reason/waiting_since fields. 12 new
tests; docs updated.
* fix(goals): use gateway.status._pid_exists for liveness, not os.kill(pid,0)
The Windows-footguns CI guard flagged os.kill(pid, 0) in _pid_alive — on
Windows that's not a no-op, it routes to CTRL_C_EVENT and hard-kills the
target's console process group (bpo-14484). Delegate to the canonical
footgun-safe gateway.status._pid_exists (psutil + ctypes/POSIX fallback)
instead, with a direct-psutil last resort.
* feat(goals): judge-driven auto-wait — the loop parks itself, no manual /goal wait
Makes the wait barrier automatic. Every turn the judge is shown the agent's
live background processes (pid, command, uptime, output tail from the
process_registry) alongside the goal + response, and can return a new 'wait'
verdict instead of continue:
{"verdict":"wait","wait_on_pid":N} → park until that process exits
{"verdict":"wait","wait_for_seconds":N} → park until the deadline passes
evaluate_after_turn acts on the directive (sets the barrier, parks the loop)
so the agent isn't re-poked into busy-work while CI/builds/deploys run. Adds a
time-based waiting_until barrier alongside the pid barrier; both auto-clear and
can never wedge the loop. Drivers (CLI, gateway, tui_gateway) feed the live
registry in via gather_background_processes(). Manual /goal wait stays as an
override. Judge verdict contract widened to (verdict, reason, parse_failed,
wait_directive); legacy {"done":bool} shape still accepted.
* test(goals): update kanban _fake_judge to the 4-tuple judge contract
CI test(3) caught it: test_kanban_goal_mode's _fake_judge still returned the
3-tuple (verdict, reason, parse_failed), but the kanban loop now unpacks the
4-tuple (+ wait_directive). Update the fake to return None for the directive
and accept the background_processes kwarg.
* feat(goals): trigger-based wait — park on a process's own signal, not just exit
Addresses two gaps in the judge-driven wait: (1) the judge could only express
'wait until PID exits' or 'wait N seconds', so a long-lived watcher/server that
fires a trigger MID-RUN (and may never exit) couldn't be waited on; (2) the
process's own watch_patterns/notify_on_complete trigger was invisible to the judge.
Adds a session-based barrier (waiting_on_session) that releases on the process's
OWN trigger via process_registry.is_session_waiting(): the session exits, OR (if
started with watch_patterns) its pattern matches — even while the process keeps
running. list_sessions() now surfaces session_id + watch_patterns/watch_hit/
notify_on_complete so the judge sees the trigger and is told to prefer
wait_on_session for trigger processes. Judge verdict gains a {wait_on_session}
directive (preferred over pid). Backward-compatible GoalState field; pid + time
barriers unchanged.
Tests: TestSessionTriggerBarrier (release on mid-run pattern match while alive,
release on exit, unknown-session, full park→trigger→resume, parse, validation,
backcompat load). 105 goal-surface + 85 process_registry tests green.
OpenCode Go (and OpenCode Zen) showed only a subset of the models they
serve in the desktop/CLI model picker — e.g. opencode-go rendered 13 of
19, silently dropping minimax-m3/m2.7/m2.5, glm-5/5.1, deepseek-v4-flash.
Root cause: the picker dedup in build_models_payload strips any model
from an aggregator row that overlaps a user-defined provider's catalog
(so a local proxy isn't shadowed by OpenRouter). It gated on
is_aggregator(), which is True for opencode-go/zen because their flat
/v1/models returns bare IDs the model-switch resolver searches. But
those are flat-namespace RESELLERS, not routing aggregators — every
model they list is first-party, so deduping them against a user proxy
that happens to serve a same-named model guts their own catalog.
Fix: add is_routing_aggregator() (True only for true routers like
OpenRouter and custom:* proxies; False for opencode-go/zen) and gate the
picker dedup on it. is_aggregator() is unchanged so model-switch flat
catalog resolution keeps working. Both desktop entry points
(model.options JSON-RPC and /api/model/options REST) and hermes model
share build_models_payload, so all surfaces get the full list.
Fixes#47077
The post-update gateway resume path (`_resume_windows_gateways_after_update`)
only relaunched gateways that were *running* when the update began — it
enumerates live PIDs in `_pause_windows_gateways_for_update` and respawns
exactly those. A gateway that had already died between updates (e.g. it was
launched attached to a terminal/TUI that later closed, taking the child with
it) was never brought back: the Startup-folder / Scheduled-Task autostart
entry only fires on the next login, not after an in-place update.
So a Desktop-GUI update (which runs `hermes update --yes --gateway`) on a box
whose gateway had quietly died would complete with no gateway running, and the
user had no indication anything should have come up.
Fix: when no gateway is running at pause time but an autostart entry is
installed (`gateway_windows.is_installed()` — an explicit "I want a gateway"
signal), return a `cold_start_if_installed` token. The resume step then does a
fresh detached spawn via `gateway_windows._spawn_detached()` — the same
windowless `pythonw` + `CREATE_BREAKAWAY_FROM_JOB` path `hermes gateway start`
uses. It re-checks liveness immediately before spawning so a concurrent start
(autostart entry firing) can't produce a duplicate.
Gateway-less users (no autostart entry) get nothing forced on them — the
pause step still returns None for them. POSIX is unaffected: enabled systemd
units already restart via `Restart=always`.
Windows-only; best-effort throughout (logs at debug and no-ops on any error).
Tests: pause returns the cold-start token only when installed, returns None
when not installed, resume cold-starts on the token, and resume skips the
cold-start when a gateway is already running.
* chore: re-trigger CI (workflows did not dispatch on prior head)
* fix(update): don't count across shallow-clone boundary (bogus '12492 commits behind')
Installer checkouts are shallow (git clone --depth 1). The CLI banner and
hermes update --check both did a plain git fetch (silently unshallowing the
repo) then git rev-list --count HEAD..origin/main, which counts across the
shallow boundary and prints a huge nonsense number like '12492 commits behind'.
Detect shallow up front, fetch with --depth 1 to preserve the boundary, and
compare tip SHAs instead of counting:
- banner _check_via_local_git: returns UPDATE_AVAILABLE_NO_COUNT when behind
(renders as 'update available') instead of the bogus count.
- _cmd_update_check: reports presence-only on shallow clones.
Full clones keep the exact count path unchanged. Mirrors the desktop fix in
apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (commit 2950c6fa2).
Defense-in-depth for the dashboard plugin auto-import path. The web server
auto-imports and mounts the Python backend (dashboard/manifest.json -> api file)
of plugins found in ~/.hermes/plugins/ (user) and ./.hermes/plugins/ (project),
not just bundled plugins. So any plugin that reaches one of those dirs gets
arbitrary Python executed on the next dashboard start.
NOTE ON THREAT MODEL: #43719's originally-documented delivery chain (a public
--insecure dashboard + open API used to git clone a malicious repo into
~/.hermes/plugins/) is ALREADY mitigated on main — since the June 2026
hermes-0day hardening, a non-loopback bind ALWAYS requires an auth provider and
--insecure no longer bypasses the auth gate. This change is therefore NOT
closing that (now-authenticated) network path; it removes the residual
'arbitrary code executes merely because a plugin is on disk' hazard, which still
applies when a plugin arrives by other means: a socially-engineered git clone,
a supply-chain drop, an authenticated-but-malicious actor, or a future
regression in the auth gate. Untrusted on-disk code should not auto-execute.
Restrict dashboard backend Python auto-import to BUNDLED plugins only. User and
project plugins may still extend the dashboard UI via static JS/CSS, but their
api Python file is never auto-imported. Two layers: _discover_dashboard_plugins
scrubs api/_api_file for user/project sources (and bundled wins name conflicts
so a non-bundled plugin cannot shadow a trusted backend route);
_mount_plugin_api_routes re-refuses user/project at mount time. Tightens the
prior GHSA-5qr3-c538-wm9j / #29156 hardening (bundled+user) to bundled-only.
Salvaged from #44472 (@egilewski) onto current main.
A cron job that sets `enabled_toolsets` to a list of *native* toolsets (e.g.
`["web", "terminal"]`) silently got ZERO MCP tools, while a job with no
per-job list got every globally-enabled MCP server. `_resolve_cron_enabled_
toolsets` returned the per-job list verbatim, bypassing the MCP-merge that the
platform-fallback branch performs via `_get_platform_tools`. So
`discover_mcp_tools()` registered the MCP tools into the registry, but
`get_tool_definitions(enabled_toolsets=...)` kept only the named native
toolsets — the agent then rejected every `mcp_*` call as "Unknown tool". (R2
of #23997.)
Fix: `_merge_mcp_into_per_job_toolsets` layers MCP membership onto a per-job
allowlist with the SAME semantics as `_get_platform_tools`:
* `no_mcp` sentinel present -> no MCP servers (sentinel stripped)
* one or more MCP server names already listed -> treat as an allowlist
* otherwise -> union in every globally-enabled MCP server
To avoid duplicating the "which MCP servers are enabled" computation (it
already existed inline in `_get_platform_tools`), this extracts a shared
`enabled_mcp_server_names(config)` helper in `hermes_cli.tools_config` and has
BOTH the gateway/CLI platform resolver and the cron per-job resolver call it —
so every path agrees on MCP membership (extend, don't duplicate).
Note: the issue's *headline* — bare MCP server names rejected, registry never
includes them — was already fixed on main (commits c10fea8d2 + 04918345e,
both before the issue was filed). This PR closes the remaining cron-specific
gap (R2). The `server:*` / `mcp:server` alias-notation rejection (R1) and the
quiet-mode silent-drop (R3) are tracked separately.
Salvaged from #32788 by sherman-yang (credited below). Reworked to reuse the
shared `enabled_mcp_server_names` helper instead of re-implementing the MCP
membership set in cron/scheduler.py.

display.timestamps already drove the [HH:MM] suffix on live submitted and
streamed message labels, but there was no runtime command to toggle it and
/history ignored the setting entirely. Add /timestamps [on|off|status]
(alias /ts) and render [HH:MM] in /history for turns that carry a stored
unix timestamp (resumed sessions). Live unsaved turns without a stored time
are never given a fabricated one. Uses the existing sanctioned non-wire
'timestamp' message key (stripped before the API call in chat_completions),
so message-alternation and prompt-cache invariants are untouched.
Authorization to message the agent is the gate, not the file extension.
Previously the inbound-attachment allowlist (SUPPORTED_DOCUMENT_TYPES) was
opt-OUT on Discord (allow_any_attachment defaulted false) and had no bypass
at all on Telegram/Slack — so an .html (or any non-allowlisted type) was
dropped or hard-rejected before the agent saw it.
Now every authorized upload is cached and surfaced to the agent regardless
of type:
- base.cache_media_bytes(): unknown types cache as octet-stream (or the
caller-supplied MIME) instead of returning None — fixes the chokepoint
that Teams/Telegram-media route through.
- discord/telegram/slack adapters: removed the allowlist reject/skip; any
non-media attachment is typed DOCUMENT and cached. Known types keep their
precise MIME.
- Text inlining now gates on a shared _TEXT_INJECT_EXTENSIONS set (text +
code + config + markup) instead of a blind UTF-8 decode, so binary formats
(PDF/zip/docx) with ASCII headers are never inlined.
- gateway/run.py emits the path-pointing context note for every DOCUMENT,
including non text/application MIME types.
- discord.allow_any_attachment is now a documented no-op kept for config
back-compat.
Validation: 357 gateway tests pass; E2E confirms .html/.bin/custom types
cache, known types stay precise, PDFs are not inlined.
* fix(gateway): walk /proc/*/cmdline to find main-wrapper.sh under s6-overlay v3 (#49196)
(cherry picked from commit 3a108c2df0)
* fix(container): peel s6-v3 rc.init prefix so dashboard role is detected
kyssta-exe's preceding commit (#49238) fixed _read_container_argv() to
locate the rc.init-launched main-wrapper.sh process under s6-overlay v3,
but the skip still never fired: _strip_container_argv_prefix() only peeled
a prefix when args[0] was init/main-wrapper.sh/hermes. Under s6 v3 the
matched argv is
/bin/sh -e /run/s6/basedir/scripts/rc.init top
/opt/hermes/docker/main-wrapper.sh dashboard ...
so args[0] stayed /bin/sh, _is_dashboard_container() returned False, and
the dashboard container reconciled + started its own gateway-default —
the exact dual Telegram getUpdates 409 in issue #49196.
Fix: strip everything up to and including the main-wrapper.sh token (the
stable boundary the image owns), covering both the v2 (/init ...) and v3
(/bin/sh ... rc.init top ...) shapes with one rule, instead of matching
launcher tokens positionally. This also repairs _is_legacy_gateway_run_request()
under v3, which shares the same strip helper (the issue called this out).
Tests: extend the dashboard true/false parametrize sets with the s6-v3
argv shape, and add test_main_skips_reconcile_in_dashboard_container_s6v3
exercising main() end-to-end with the v3 argv. Verified via mutation that
both new v3 assertions fail under the old positional strip and pass with
the fix.

When `hermes dashboard --host 0.0.0.0` is run interactively with the auth
gate engaged but no DashboardAuthProvider configured, prompt to set up the
bundled username/password provider on the spot (or point at `hermes dashboard
register` for OAuth) instead of only emitting the fail-closed error.
- main.py: `_maybe_setup_dashboard_auth_interactively()` runs before
start_server. No-ops on loopback binds, when a provider is already
registered, or when stdin/stdout isn't a TTY (Docker/s6, CI, piped runs) so
the fail-closed SystemExit stays the backstop for unattended deploys. On the
password path it writes dashboard.basic_auth.{username,password_hash,secret}
to config.yaml (scrypt hash, never plaintext), then force-rediscovers
plugins so the basic provider registers before the gate check.
- web_server.py: fix the fail-closed hint — it told operators to set
`dashboard_auth.basic.username` but the provider reads `dashboard.basic_auth`.
- docs: note the interactive setup under Fail-closed semantics.
No new env vars; reuses the existing dashboard.basic_auth config surface.
* feat(cli): /prompt — compose your next prompt in $EDITOR
Adds /prompt (alias /compose): opens $VISUAL/$EDITOR on a temp markdown
file so you can hand-edit a multi-line prompt, then sends the saved buffer
as the next agent turn. Text after the command pre-seeds the buffer; an
empty save cancels. Reuses the one-shot _pending_agent_seed the interactive
loop already consumes (same mechanism as /blueprint), so no changes to the
input event loop or message pipeline. CLI-only.
* feat(tui): /prompt slash command opens $EDITOR (parity with CLI)
The TUI already opens $EDITOR via Ctrl+G (openEditor), but had no /prompt
slash command like the classic CLI. Wire openEditor into the slash handler
context and register /prompt (alias /compose) to call it; inline text after
the command is dropped into the composer first so it carries into the editor,
matching the CLI's /prompt <text>.
* feat(cli): /reasoning full to show complete thinking, not 10-line clamp
The post-response Reasoning recap box hard-clamped long thinking to the
first 10 lines, so there was no way to see the full reasoning trace after
a turn (live streaming already shows it in full). Add display.reasoning_full
(default off) plus /reasoning full|clamp to toggle it at runtime; the clamp
truncation note now points at the command. Addresses repeated user requests
to show all thinking tokens.
* test(gateway): de-snapshot /reasoning help assertion
The test froze the exact args-hint literal '/reasoning [level|show|hide]',
which the new full/clamp args change to '[level|show|hide|full|clamp]'.
Convert to an invariant: assert /reasoning is in help and carries its core
args, not the exact hint string.
* feat(tui): /reasoning full|clamp parity in tui_gateway
The classic-CLI reasoning_full toggle had no TUI equivalent — typing
/reasoning full in the TUI fell through to parse_reasoning_effort and
errored. The TUI renders thinking as an expand/collapse section (no fixed
10-line recap), so map full -> sections.thinking=expanded (raw, uncapped
via thinkingPreview mode='full') and clamp -> collapsed, persisting
display.reasoning_full for cross-surface config consistency.
* 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.
The welcome banner's 'Available Tools' merged in every toolset from the
global check_tool_availability() registry walk, regardless of whether it
was enabled for the current platform. On a Blank Slate CLI (file +
terminal only) that surfaced discord / feishu / kanban tools the agent
was never actually given — they are not in the agent's tool schema, but
the banner displayed them, making it look like they were exposed.
- Filter the unavailable-toolset merge to toolsets actually in
enabled_toolsets (a toolset that's enabled but has unmet deps still
legitimately shows as disabled/lazy).
- Gate the 'Available Skills' section on the skills toolset being
enabled — when it's off, the agent can't load any skill, so show
'Skills toolset disabled' instead of the on-disk catalog.
When enabled_toolsets is empty (older callers), behavior is unchanged.
Validation: blank-slate banner now shows only file + terminal and
'Skills toolset disabled'; a skills-enabled banner still lists the
catalog. Added regression tests; full banner suite green (15/15).
A daemon that ignores or stalls in its SIGTERM handler currently survives the
process-registry reap and leaks until reboot (observed as agent-browser
daemons accumulating to EMFILE on long-running gateways). _terminate_host_pid
now snapshots the tree, SIGTERMs it, waits a bounded grace window
(terminal.daemon_term_grace_seconds, default 2.0s, 0 disables), then SIGKILLs
any survivor. The recycled-PID identity guard still gates the whole path, so
escalation never reaches a stranger; Windows is unchanged (taskkill /F is
already a hard kill).
Config lives in config.yaml (terminal.daemon_term_grace_seconds), NOT an env
var, per the .env-secrets-only policy.
Implements the SIGKILL-escalation idea from @tkwong's #15008, reworked onto the
current _terminate_host_pid tree-kill path (the original predated it) and
config-gated instead of env-var-gated.

Surface dangerous host/deployment posture at gateway startup so operators get
the 'you're exposed' signal the June 2026 MCP-config persistence campaign
victims never had. Warn-only — never blocks startup, never raises.
Checks (each independently fail-safe):
- Running as root (POSIX uid 0)
- SSH daemon with PasswordAuthentication enabled (incl. the 'yes' default)
- Running in a container with no persistent volume mount over HERMES_HOME
- Network-accessible API server with no API_SERVER_KEY
New module hermes_cli/security_audit_startup.py; invoked once per process from
start_gateway() right after setup_logging(). Cross-platform (root/SSH checks
no-op on Windows). Idea: @Cthulhu.
Remove the dashboard --insecure auth-bypass, add an MCP persistence guard +
IOC blocklist, and raise the API-server key entropy floor.
Driven by the June 2026 hermes-0day campaign (r/hermesagent, live 854.media
instance): scanners find exposed Hermes dashboards/API servers, drive the
root agent to plant a 'command: bash' MCP entry that appends an attacker SSH
key to authorized_keys, which cron + startup then re-execute every tick.
- dashboard: --insecure no longer disables the auth gate. should_require_auth
returns True for every non-loopback bind; a public bind ALWAYS requires an
auth provider (bundled password provider or OAuth). --insecure kept as a
warned no-op for backward compat. Fail-closed error now points at the
password provider, not at --insecure.
- mcp_security: validate_mcp_server_entry now also rejects shell payloads that
write to OS persistence surfaces (authorized_keys/.ssh/pam.d/sudoers/cron/
rc files) and hard-rejects a hermes-0day IOC blocklist (attacker SSH key +
source IPs) anywhere in command/args/env. Runs at save AND spawn time.
- api_server: raise network-bind API_SERVER_KEY entropy floor 8->16 chars;
warn when a network-accessible API server runs an unsandboxed local backend.
The kanban-worker and kanban-orchestrator bundled skills existed only to
be force-loaded into dispatcher-spawned workers, gated by
environments:[kanban] so they wouldn't leak into normal CLI listings.
That gating was fragile (the leak that #50443 patched) and the
--skills auto-load was already best-effort — most workers ran without it
because the bundled skill isn't present in profile-scoped skills dirs.
Remove the skills entirely and promote their load-bearing content
(workspace kinds, deliverable artifacts, created-card integrity, profile
discovery) into KANBAN_GUIDANCE, which is already injected into every
kanban worker's system prompt. Net result: every worker reliably gets
the guidance, nothing can leak into a CLI/blank-slate session, and the
gating machinery is gone.
- agent/prompt_builder.py: promote the 4 load-bearing rules into KANBAN_GUIDANCE
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: drop --skills kanban-worker auto-injection + _kanban_worker_skill_available probe
- hermes_cli/kanban_swarm.py: drop skills=[kanban-orchestrator] on the root card
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: drop kanban-init skill seeding; fix help text
- delete skills/devops/kanban-{worker,orchestrator}
- docs: delete the two skill pages (EN+zh), fix sidebars/catalog/kanban.md/kanban-worker-lanes.md and the video-orchestrator + codex-lane references
- tests: update spawn-argv expectations; re-bound the guidance-size guard
Supersedes the skill-leak half of #50443 (credit @helix4u for flagging the area).
CI on the salvage caught two issues the stale PR base masked:
1. The model-setup flows were extracted from main.py into
hermes_cli/model_setup_flows.py after @pmos69 forked. The cherry-pick
re-introduced a stale _model_flow_custom into main.py (duplicating the
one main.py now imports) and put _model_flow_google_antigravity there too.
Move the antigravity flow into model_setup_flows.py alongside its siblings
and drop the stale _model_flow_custom dup. Fixes the getpass/stdin OSError
in tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py.
2. google-antigravity re-exposes Claude/Gemini/GPT-OSS models, so its catalog
was hijacking bare short aliases (`sonnet` -> google-antigravity instead of
anthropic) in detect_static_provider_for_model via dict insertion order.
Add _BORROWED_MODEL_PROVIDERS and defer those providers to a last-resort
pass so a model's native vendor always wins alias/direct-catalog detection.
Fixes tests/hermes_cli/test_models.py::test_short_alias_resolves_to_static_model.
A bare custom provider configured via `model.api_base` (the intuitive name
OpenAI-SDK / LiteLLM users reach for) was silently ignored: `hermes config set`
accepts any dotted key, so `model.api_base` got written and confirmed, but the
runtime resolver reads only `model.base_url`. Requests fell back to OpenRouter
with an empty key -> 401, zero hits to the custom endpoint (issue #8919).
Now api_base is migrated to base_url at load time (fixes existing broken
configs) and at set time (with a notice), never overriding an explicit
base_url. Closes#8919.
On Windows, _pause_windows_gateways_for_update() force-kills every running
gateway before mutating the venv. Gateways mapped to a profile (via
profile.path/gateway.pid) were respawned afterward, but gateways with NO
profile mapping — e.g. a Windows Scheduled Task running
"pythonw.exe -m hermes_cli.main gateway run" — were force-killed and only
told to restart manually. After an auto-update/bootstrap the Telegram bot
stayed dead until manual intervention.
Now we snapshot each unmapped gateway's argv (psutil, guarded by
looks_like_gateway_command_line) before the kill and replay it through the
same detached watcher used for profile gateways, so unmapped gateways come
back automatically too.

Per @egilewski's audit on this PR (#15544), the original fix was
correct but the file has refactored since: the four endpoint-local
empty-peer checks have been consolidated into _ws_client_is_allowed
and _ws_client_reason, but the helpers were left fail-open ('no peer
host known means allow' / 'no reason to block').
On a loopback-bound dashboard with auth disabled, an ASGI server
behind a misconfigured proxy or a unix-socket transport can deliver
ws.client == None or ws.client.host == ''. The helpers were treating
that as 'allowed', so the loopback-only peer gate could be bypassed
by anything that suppressed the client tuple in transit. All four
WebSocket endpoints (/api/pty, /api/ws, /api/pub, /api/events) route
through _ws_request_is_allowed -> _ws_client_is_allowed, so the gap
applied uniformly.
Fix:
* _ws_client_is_allowed: return False when client_host is empty
instead of True. Only reached on loopback bind with auth disabled
(auth_required=True and explicit non-loopback binds short-circuit
earlier), so the fail-closed behavior is scoped to the surface
that needs it.
* _ws_client_reason: return a 'missing_or_empty_peer bound=...'
block reason instead of None, so the dispatcher's existing
reason-based rejection path picks it up and the close gets logged
with a machine-parseable token for diagnosability.
Behavior unchanged for:
* gated mode (auth_required=True) — early-returns True before the
empty-peer check runs. The OAuth ticket is the auth at that point.
* explicit non-loopback bind (--host 0.0.0.0/::, or a specific LAN
address, always with --insecure) — early-returns True before the
empty-peer check runs. DNS-rebinding is still blocked by the
Host/Origin guard in _ws_host_origin_is_allowed.
* legitimate loopback peers (client_host == '127.0.0.1' / '::1') —
not affected by the empty-peer branch.
Regression tests added in tests/hermes_cli/test_dashboard_auth_ws_auth.py:
* test_empty_client_host_rejected_in_loopback_mode
* test_missing_client_object_rejected_in_loopback_mode
* test_empty_client_host_reason_is_block
Plus two regression guards to ensure the fix does not over-reach:
* test_empty_client_host_still_allowed_in_insecure_public_mode
* test_empty_client_host_still_allowed_in_gated_mode
All three new fail-closed tests fail without this patch (the helpers
return True / None for an empty peer) and pass with it. The 45
pre-existing tests in test_dashboard_auth_ws_auth.py continue to pass.
Root cause of #49145: the Windows ZIP-update path did rmtree(dst) then
copytree(src, dst). If the copy failed partway — common on that path,
which only runs because file I/O is already flaky on the machine — the
directory was left deleted with nothing copied back. ui-tui/ vanishing
is what broke 'hermes --tui' (WinError 267), but the bug hit every
top-level directory.
_atomic_replace_dir stages the new copy into a sibling temp dir and only
swaps it in on full success, restoring the original on failure. A failed
update now leaves the live tree untouched instead of half-deleted.
The Windows update path can leave tracked ui-tui/ files deleted in the
working tree (HEAD intact). The guard now self-heals: when ui-tui/ is
missing in a git checkout, run `git restore -- ui-tui` and continue,
falling back to the printed manual-recovery steps only when git can't
recover it (no checkout / restore failed).
Builds on konsisumer's missing-workspace guard.
After a worker crash + reclaim + respawn, the board could show a task in the
Ready lane while its task_run was 'running' and the new worker was actively
executing (#36910). The dispatcher could then treat live work as available and
double-assign.
Root cause: the three reclaim paths (detect_crashed_workers,
release_stale_claims heartbeat-stale backstop, enforce_max_runtime) each
snapshot a task's worker_pid/claim_lock, do liveness work, then reset
tasks.status back to 'ready' with only a 'WHERE status=running' guard. If the
task was reclaimed AND re-claimed by a NEW worker in between (new run, new
claim_lock, live pid), the stale UPDATE clobbered the live task: status flipped
to 'ready' while the fresh run stayed 'running'. claim_task is the only writer
that sets status='running', so nothing put it back — permanent desync.
Fix: gate each reset on the snapshot's claim_lock (and worker_pid where
available) so it only fires when the task is still owned by the worker the
reclaim was computed for. A stale reclaim now no-ops (rowcount 0) instead of
desyncing a re-claimed task. Genuine crashes (lock still matches) reclaim
exactly as before.
This is the same race class the in-gateway dispatch lock (single-writer ticks)
mitigates, closed at the row level so a single dispatcher's fast
reclaim->respawn across two ticks is also safe.
Closes#36910.
