Profiles created before #44792 have no .env. Now that the Channels/Keys
endpoints are profile-scoped (no os.environ fallback), those profiles
would show everything as unconfigured. hermes update now copies the
default install's .env into each named profile that lacks one (0600,
never overwrites, placeholder fallback when the root has no .env), so
existing users keep the credentials they were effectively running with.
21 cases pinning the new ``_ensure_last_assistant_message_in_tail``
anchor and its interaction with the existing tail-cut path:
* ``TestFindLastAssistantMessageIdx`` — helper contract: prefers a
content-bearing assistant message, skips ``tool_calls``-only
stubs, multimodal text-block content counts, falls back to
"any assistant" when no content-bearing reply exists, honours
``head_end``, returns -1 when there's none.
* ``TestEnsureLastAssistantMessageInTail`` — direct: no-op when
already in the tail, walks ``cut_idx`` back when the reply is
in the compressed middle, never crosses into the head region,
re-aligns through a preceding ``tool_call`` / ``tool_result``
group instead of orphaning it.
* ``TestFindTailCutByTokensAnchorsAssistant`` — integration:
reporter repro (long tool-output run after the visible reply)
now preserves the reply; user and assistant anchors compose
in a single tail-cut call; a soft-ceiling-overrunning oversized
tool result no longer strands the prior reply.
* ``TestCompactionRollupReproduction`` — end-to-end through
``compress()`` with a stubbed ``_generate_summary``: the
visible reply text survives either as its own standalone
assistant message (normal path) or concatenated onto the
merged summary tail (double-collision path the WebUI then
re-splits). The standalone-summary case is asserted strictly
(exactly one summary row, exactly one separate assistant
row carrying the reply) — that's the dominant path and any
drift there reintroduces the original bug.
* ``TestSourceGuardrail`` — static asserts on
``agent/context_compressor.py``: the helper exists, the
anchor is wired into ``_find_tail_cut_by_tokens`` AFTER the
user-message anchor (so chaining is monotonic), the
content-bearing preference is preserved, and the issue
number is referenced so future bisects can find this fix.
--clone-all copied the source profile's state.db, sessions/, backups/,
state-snapshots/, and checkpoints/ into the new profile. These are
per-profile history: a 49GB copy in practice (15GB snapshots + 11GB
backup archives + 16GB state.db + 6.4GB sessions), and restoring a
copied backup inside the clone would resurrect the SOURCE profile's
state. A clone is a fresh workspace; history stays with the source.
New _CLONE_ALL_HISTORY_EXCLUDE_ROOT set, applied at root level for ANY
source profile (named profiles accumulate the same artifacts), unlike
the default-gated infrastructure excludes. Nested same-name dirs still
copy. Docs and the post-create CLI message updated to match; profile
export / hermes backup remain the full-history paths.
When the compression summary lands as an assistant-role message (head ends
with user), the end marker was not appended. Models may regurgitate the
summary text as their own visible output when there's no clear boundary
signal (#33256).
The end marker was already appended for user-role summaries (#11475, #14521)
but the assistant-role path was missed in the original fix. This ensures ALL
standalone summary messages carry the boundary marker, preventing summary
text from leaking into user-visible chat output.
The dashboard's /api/skills/hub/install (and the new-profile hub_skills
path) spawned `hermes skills install <id>` with stdin=DEVNULL but
without --yes. do_install()'s 'Confirm [y/N]' prompt hit EOF, defaulted
to 'n', and printed 'Installation cancelled.' into a background log the
user never sees — every dashboard install no-opped.
Pass --yes on both spawn sites, matching the uninstall endpoint which
already passed --yes. The dashboard install button is the explicit user
consent, same as the TUI/slash-command skip_confirm rationale.
Repro: spawned the exact argv with stdin=DEVNULL against a temp
HERMES_HOME — without --yes it cancels, with --yes the skill installs.
The shared _stop_typing_refresh cleanup makes up to two bounded
stop_typing attempts; the old assertion pinned exactly one
typing-stopped event before callback-start.
A user passing an image to `hermes send --file` got a raw
UnicodeDecodeError ('utf-8 codec can't decode byte 0x89...') with no
hint that media delivery goes through the MEDIA:<path> directive.
- send_cmd: catch UnicodeDecodeError separately and print a usage error
explaining --file is for text bodies, with copy-pasteable MEDIA: and
[[as_document]] examples using the user's own path
- --file help text + epilog now mention MEDIA:
- docs: new 'Sending images and other media' section on the hermes send
reference page
- 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.
Hosted instances set HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL as a provision-time seed in
the container env. _config_model_target() previously went through
_resolve_model() (env-first), so on hosted VPS the sync target stayed
pinned to the seed and dashboard model changes never reached an open
chat -- the exact scenario the sync exists to fix. The sync target now
reads config.yaml first and only falls back to the env vars when config
has no model. Startup resolution (_resolve_model) is unchanged.
Replace the PortPool-based port reservation system (9120-9199 range) with OS-assigned ephemeral ports via --port 0.
Before: Desktop probed a hardcoded port range, reserved ports in-process to close TOCTOU races, and passed the chosen port to the dashboard via CLI arg.
After: Desktop spawns dashboard with --port 0, parses the actual port from a stdout announcement line (HERMES_DASHBOARD_READY port=<N>), and uses that for WebSocket connections.
Changes:
- web_server.py: add --port 0 support with SO_REUSEADDR pre-bind + announcement; add EADDRINUSE preflight for explicit ports
- main.cjs: remove PortPool, PORT_FLOOR/CEILING, pickPort(), isPortAvailable(); add waitForDashboardPort() stdout parser
- Delete port-pool.cjs and port-pool.test.cjs (106 lines removed)
Net effect: eliminates the entire TOCTOU-mitigation reservation infrastructure and arbitrary port range constraints. OS handles port allocation natively.
Extends _live_system_guard in tests/conftest.py to block any subprocess
call that would run 'hermes update' (or 'python -m hermes_cli.main update')
against the real checkout.
These commands run git fetch origin + git pull, overwriting repo files
like pyproject.toml mid-test-run and corrupting every subsequent
subprocess that reads them. The spawned process uses setsid /
start_new_session=True so it's invisible to pytest's process tree
(PPid=1) — the corruption was essentially undetectable without
explicit inotify/SHA watchdogs.
Root cause of #43703 CI failures: tests in TestUpdateCommandPlatformGate
called _handle_update_command() with HERMES_MANAGED='' and no Popen mock,
causing the code to fall through and spawn a real 'hermes update --gateway'
that overwrote pyproject.toml with origin/main's content (which still
had '--timeout=30 --timeout-method=thread' in addopts while the PR had
already removed pytest-timeout).
The guard covers all three invocation patterns:
- 'hermes update' / 'hermes update --gateway' (direct or via setsid bash -c)
- 'python -m hermes_cli.main update --gateway'
- '.venv/bin/hermes update' (absolute path variant)
Does not false-positive on: git update-index, apt-get update,
pip install --upgrade, or any command lacking 'hermes'/'hermes_cli'.
* feat(desktop): session-scoped status stack + kill new-window theme flash
Stack subagents, background tasks, and the queue into one collapsible
"sink" above the composer, reusing the queue's chrome so every status
reads as one piece. Extracts shared StatusSection / StatusRow /
TerminalOutput primitives and a unified $statusItemsBySession store
(subagents mirrored, background owned here, merged + grouped for render).
Renames BrailleSpinner → GlyphSpinner now that it drives more than braille.
Separately, fix the white flash on every new/cmd-clicked window: macOS
`vibrancy` paints an NSVisualEffectView that follows the OS appearance and
ignores `backgroundColor`, so a dark app on a light-mode Mac flashed white
until the renderer painted over it. Pin `nativeTheme.themeSource` to the
app theme (persisted to userData so cold launches paint right before the
renderer loads), hold windows with `show:false` until `ready-to-show`, and
pre-paint the themed background via an inline script before the bundle runs.
* feat(desktop): dock the slash popover to the composer via one shared fill var
The slash·@ popover (and ? help) now docks onto the composer's edge with the
same chrome as the queue/status stack — rounded outer corners, fused borderless
edge, no shadow — but keeps its own narrow width.
Surface + drawer paint a single --composer-fill var; the state ladder
(rest / scrolled / focused / drawer-open) lives once in styles.css on
[data-slot='composer-root']. The :has() drawer-open rule is last and forces an
opaque fill, since translucent glass sampling different backdrops (thread vs
fade gradient) can never match. This replaces the focus-within !important
override that repainted the surface behind every previous matching attempt.
Also drop the chevron column from the project file tree — the folder open/closed
icon already carries the expand state.
* feat(desktop): base inset for file tree rows (post-chevron alignment)
* feat(desktop): wire the status stack's background tasks to the real process registry
The background group was UI-only (dev-mock seeded). Now it's live e2e:
- tui_gateway: new session-scoped `process.list` (registry snapshot filtered
by the session's session_key, plus a 4KB output tail for the inline
terminal viewer) and `process.kill` (single process, ownership-checked —
unlike process.stop's kill_all).
- Renderer: `reconcileBackgroundProcesses` syncs snapshots into the store
layout-stably — rows keep their position when state flips (never re-sort),
new processes append, unchanged rows keep object identity so memoised rows
skip re-rendering, and a dismissed-set stops the registry's retained
finished procs from resurrecting X-ed rows.
- Refresh triggers: session open, terminal/process tool.complete,
status.update(kind=process) from the gateway's notification poller, and a
5s poll armed only while a running row is visible (catches silent exits).
- Stop = real `process.kill` + optimistic dismiss; Dismiss = client-side
with resurrection guard.
- Re-keyed the stack to the RUNTIME session id: it was keyed by the stored
session id, where neither subagent events nor process.list would ever land.
- Deleted dev-status-mocks.ts (__hermesStatusMocks) — no more seed shit.
Reconcile invariants covered in store/composer-status.test.ts.
* feat(desktop): todos + openable subagents in the status stack, self-healing file tree
- todo lists move out of the inline chat panel into the composer status stack
(checklist icon, dashed ring = pending, spinner = in progress, check = done),
fed live from todo tool events and seeded from history on session open
- subagent rows carry the child's real session id end-to-end
(delegate_tool → gateway → renderer) so clicking one opens ITS session window
- status stack publishes its measured height so the thread's bottom clearance
grows with it; card paints the shared --composer-fill so focused/scrolled
states match the composer exactly
- file tree self-heals: ENOENT roots retry on a 3s cadence + Try again button,
and the main process expands ~ in IPC paths (gateway cwds arrive as ~/...)
- composer drag-drop of tree entries inserts inline refs instead of attachments
* fix(desktop): file tree falls back to the workspace dir when a session's cwd is gone
Sessions record their launch cwd; deleted worktrees leave that path dead,
so opening such a session swapped the tree from the default workspace to a
directory that ENOENTs forever — the 3s retry just spun on it. On a root
read error the tree now asks main to sanitize the cwd (prefers the
configured default project dir), displays that fallback, and quietly
re-probes the original path so it switches back if the dir reappears.
* feat(desktop): working restore-checkpoint button on past user prompts
The discard icon on hover of a past user bubble was decorative — clicking
did nothing. It's now a real control: a confirmation dialog explains that
everything after the prompt is removed, then the session rewinds to that
turn and reruns the same prompt (prompt.submit with
truncate_before_user_ordinal, the same mechanism the edit composer uses).
Failures rethrow into the dialog's inline error instead of toasting.
* fix(desktop): show the restore-checkpoint button on the latest user prompt too
Restoring the most recent prompt is just 'retry this turn' — no reason to
exclude it. Stop still takes the slot while the turn is running.
* fix(desktop): finished todo lists clear themselves out of the status stack
A list whose every item is completed/cancelled lingers ~4s so the final
checkmark is visible, then the todo group drops out of the stack. A fresh
active list arriving within the linger cancels the scheduled clear.
* chore(desktop): drop dead editableCheckpoint copy, terser restore confirm
* fix(desktop): rewind clears the abandoned timeline's todos + background
Restoring to (or editing) an earlier prompt rewinds the conversation, but
the todos and background processes spawned by the now-discarded turns kept
showing in the status stack — and the real background processes kept
running. Both rewind paths now clear the session's todo rows and kill +
drop its background processes before the fresh run repopulates them. Also
drops the click-to-edit clamp transition, which flashed a half-expanded
bubble on the way into the edit composer.
* feat(desktop): user messages are always editable; edit/restore revert mid-stream
The bubble is now always click-to-edit — even while a turn streams — instead
of going inert during a run. Sending an edit acts like restore: it rewinds to
that prompt and re-runs with the new text. Both edit and restore can fire
mid-stream now; the gateway refuses prompt.submit while a turn runs (4009
"session busy"), so they interrupt the live turn first and retry the submit
until the cooperative interrupt winds it down. Restore (re-run as-is) shows on
every prompt except the latest running one, which keeps the Stop button.
* fix(desktop): label preview-pane ⌘L selections with the filename, not "zsh"
The terminal owns a global ⌘/Ctrl+L "send selection to composer" shortcut, so
selecting text in the file preview pane and hitting it fell through to the
terminal handler — which imported the right text but labelled the composer ref
"zsh:N lines" off the shell name. When the selection isn't an xterm selection,
label it with the previewed file instead.
* fix(desktop): ⌘L on a preview line selection inserts the @line ref, like dragging
The source preview lets you select lines in the gutter and drag them into the
composer as an @line:path:start-end ref. ⌘/Ctrl+L now does the same when a line
selection is active — it drops the identical ref instead of falling through to
the terminal's global handler (which grabbed the native text selection and sent
a bogus terminal block). Capture-phase + stopPropagation so it wins; with a line
selection there's no native selection, so the terminal handler stays out of it.
* chore: gitignore apps/desktop/demo/ scratch output
The desktop demo prompt writes demo/*.txt during recorded walkthroughs; it's
throwaway, never part of the app. Ignore it so it stops cluttering git status.
* feat(desktop): subagent watch windows, hard stop, sidebar hygiene
Child-session mirror for live subagent windows, delegate sessions tagged
and excluded from the sidebar, composer focus/stop polish, and WS stall
resilience on the gateway transport.
* refactor: DRY delegate SQL + trim status-stack noise
Extract shared listable-child and delegate-delete helpers in hermes_state,
collapse cancelRun busy release, and cut comment bloat in resume/status paths.
* fix(desktop): hide orphaned subagent sessions in sidebar
Cascade-delete all ephemeral children on parent delete (not just tagged rows),
run v16 backfill to tag legacy orphans, and record new delegates as source=subagent.
* fix: restore orphan contract for untagged children + lazy session eviction
Cascade-delete only _delegate_from-tagged rows (v16 backfill covers legacy),
walk marker chains recursively with FK-safe orphaning, gate lazy watch
sessions out of the still-starting eviction exemption via an explicit flag,
pass session_id to _make_agent only when resuming, and hide source=subagent
from session search.
* fix(gateway): gate child mirror off upgraded sessions + age out stale run entries
Review findings: the mirror could interleave synthetic events with a real
native stream once a watch window upgrades (prompt.submit builds an agent),
and a lost subagent.complete left _active_child_runs pinning running=true
forever. Mirror now stops when the live session owns an agent; liveness
reads ignore entries older than an hour.
* fix(gateway): reject prompt.submit into a watch session while its child runs
A lazy watch session's running flag is False (the run lives in the parent
turn), so typing mid-run sailed past the busy guard and built a second agent
racing the in-flight child on the same stored session. Busy error until the
run completes; afterwards the submit upgrades into a normal conversation.
* refactor(gateway): DRY watch-resume payload + compose listable-child SQL
Fold the duplicated child-run busy overlay into one _reuse_live_payload
helper across both resume reuse paths, collapse the twin mirror early-returns,
and build _LISTABLE_CHILD_SQL from _BRANCH_CHILD_SQL instead of restating it.
* fix(desktop): clip horizontal overflow on sidebar scroll areas
Add overflow-x-hidden alongside overflow-y-auto on session list scrollers
and the shared SidebarContent primitive — vertical scroll unchanged.
Two halves of the same community report (dashboard Profile Builder):
1. A fresh dashboard/CLI-created profile got no .env file unless cloned,
so it silently inherited API keys and messaging tokens from the shell
environment / root install. create_profile() now seeds a placeholder
.env (0600) for non-clone profiles, matching the SOUL.md seeding.
2. The Channels endpoints (/api/messaging/platforms GET/PUT/test) were
not profile-scoped: they read/wrote the dashboard process's own .env
via load_env()/save_env_value() regardless of the global profile
switcher. They now accept the standard optional profile param (body
beats query on the PUT, matching other scoped writes) and run inside
_profile_scope(). When scoped, the payload no longer falls back to
os.environ or load_gateway_config()'s env-override layer — both carry
the ROOT install's credentials and would misreport them as the
profile's. /api/messaging/platforms added to PROFILE_SCOPED_PREFIXES
so the sidebar switcher scopes the Channels page automatically.
The Teams adapter only handled image/* attachments — documents (the
application/vnd.microsoft.teams.file.download.info consent-free download
payload and any direct-URL non-image attachment) never reached media_urls
at all, so run.py's document-context injection had nothing to surface.
Completes the class-wide sweep from PR #44695 (Signal/Email/SimpleX).
- download.info attachments: fetch the pre-authed SharePoint downloadUrl
(SSRF-guarded, same guard chain as base.py cache_*_from_url) and route
through cache_media_bytes
- direct-URL non-image attachments: same fetch + classify path
- skip Teams' text/html message-body mirror and adaptive-card attachments
- DOCUMENT > PHOTO > VIDEO > AUDIO precedence for mixed attachments,
matching the Email precedence rationale from #44695
* feat(billing): /usage → portal top-up browser handoff
Add the terminal side of the billing slice (phase 2a): start a top-up by
throwing the user to the portal billing page with the top-up modal open. The
terminal does not confirm, poll, or track payment — checkout completes in the
browser and the next /usage shows the new balance.
- nous_account.py: parse organisation.slug/name from /api/oauth/account into
NousPortalAccountInfo; add nous_portal_topup_url() building the org-pinned
{base}/orgs/{slug}/billing?topup=open with a null-slug fallback to the legacy
{base}/billing?topup=open (never /orgs/None/...).
- portal_cli.py: 'hermes portal topup' — fresh account fetch, identity line
(Topping up as <email> / org <name>), browser open with printed-URL fallback,
no-wait closing copy. No polling/confirmation (deferred to 2b).
- account_usage.py: the shared /usage credits block now links the org-pinned
top-up URL (auto-opens the modal) + points to the command.
Depends on NAS #409 (organisation.slug/name + ?topup=open). Do not merge until
that is live on the target env; until then /api/oauth/account returns
organisation: { id } only and the URL falls back to legacy.
* feat(billing): /credits command for balance + top-up handoff
Replace the standalone `hermes portal topup` subcommand with an in-session
/credits slash command — a focused money surface (balance in, top-up out) that
works in the CLI, TUI, and every messaging platform from one registry entry.
- commands.py: register /credits (Info category). Slack is at its 50-slash cap,
so /credits is routed via /hermes credits on Slack only (new
_SLACK_VIA_HERMES_ONLY set) to avoid clamping a canonical command off the
native list and breaking Telegram parity; native everywhere else.
- account_usage.py: build_credits_view() — one portal fetch → balance lines +
identity line + org-pinned top-up URL + depleted flag, consumed by all
surfaces. Reuses the same snapshot/URL builder as /usage so numbers match.
- cli.py: _show_credits() — balance block + identity line + 3-button panel
(Open top-up / Copy link / Cancel) via the existing prompt_toolkit modal.
ASK, never auto-launch; headless falls back to printing the URL.
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _handle_credits_command() — renders the block +
tappable top-up URL + no-wait copy; works on button and plain-text platforms.
- /usage credits line now points to /credits.
- Retire `hermes portal topup` (portal_cli.py back to baseline); the engine
(slug/name parse + nous_portal_topup_url) stays as the shared core.
No polling, no payment confirmation (billing phase 2a). Depends on NAS #409.
* fix(credits): /credits works in the TUI slash-worker (non-interactive)
In the TUI, /credits runs in the slash-worker subprocess where there is no
live prompt_toolkit app and stdin is the JSON-RPC pipe. _show_credits called
the 3-button modal unconditionally, which fell back to reading stdin →
exception → slash.exec rejected → the command produced no output (only the
pre-existing 'Credit access paused' banner showed).
- _show_credits: when self._app is None (TUI worker / piped / non-interactive),
render the text variant — balance block + tappable top-up URL + no-wait line,
same affordance as the messaging surfaces — and skip the modal entirely. The
3-button panel still renders in the interactive CLI.
- Depleted banner copy: 'run /usage for balance' → 'run /credits to top up'
now that /credits is the dedicated money surface (+ tests).
- Regression tests: _show_credits with self._app=None renders text and never
invokes the modal; logged-out path.
* feat(tui): credits.view RPC for the /credits tappable top-up button
Add a credits.view JSON-RPC method returning the structured CreditsView
(logged_in, balance_lines, identity_line, topup_url, depleted) so the TUI can
render a clickable <Link> top-up button instead of plain text. Account-
independent (portal fetch gated on a logged-in Nous account), fail-open to
{logged_in: false} on any hiccup. Mirrors session.usage's credits-block pattern.
Frontend (TUI-local /credits command + Ink component) lands separately.
* feat(tui): /credits command with keyboard-driven top-up confirm
TUI-local /credits: fetches the structured balance via the credits.view RPC,
prints the balance + identity + top-up URL, then arms the EXISTING confirm
overlay (Enter = open top-up in browser via openExternalUrl, Esc = cancel).
Reuses ConfirmReq — no new overlay component/state/input handler. Headless
(openExternalUrl returns false) falls back to printing the URL.
- gatewayTypes.ts: CreditsViewResponse.
- commands/credits.ts: the command (mirrors /status's rpc+guarded pattern).
- registry.ts: register creditsCommands.
- test: balance+overlay armed, headless fallback, no-url, logged-out (4 cases).
Matches the CLI /credits 'Enter to open' affordance. Phase 2a: no polling.
Modal prompt panels (dangerous-command approval, clarify questions)
live in the prompt_toolkit layout and vanish on the next repaint,
leaving no trace of the question or the decision in chat history.
Emit a dim one-line summary after each prompt resolves:
⚠ Approval: <command> → allowed for session
? Clarify: <question> → <answer>
Gated on display.persist_prompts (default true). Detail and outcome
are whitespace-collapsed and capped at 120 chars.
SimpleX tagged unknown files application/octet-stream in media_types
but classification only handled audio/image, leaving msg_type TEXT —
run.py never injected the document context. Same bug class as #12845.
Email cached document attachments and placed them in media_urls, but
msg_type only flipped on image attachments — documents stayed TEXT and
run.py's document-context injection (gated on MessageType.DOCUMENT)
silently dropped them. Same bug class as Signal #12845. DOCUMENT wins
over PHOTO for mixed attachments since image handling keys off per-path
mime types while document injection gates strictly on message_type.
Widen the salvaged #12851 fix to match the established classification
pattern (WhatsApp/Slack/BlueBubbles/Mattermost): video/* -> VIDEO, and
any remaining MIME type falls through to DOCUMENT instead of TEXT, so
exotic types still trigger run.py's document-context injection.
Follow-up for salvaged PR #44486: the adapter shipped remove_reaction but
the tool only exposed 'react'. Generalize _handle_react(remove=) and add
tool-level dispatch tests for react/unreact (missing from the original PR).
A hard gateway exit (crash, SIGKILL, supervisor restart) left the
detached Node sidecar running with a token the next gateway run doesn't
know, so it could never be told to /shutdown. Every replacement spawn
then died on EADDRINUSE, failing each 30→300s reconnect attempt while
the orphan kept consuming the inbound gRPC stream.
Two layers:
- Lifetime binding: the adapter now holds the sidecar's stdin as a
pipe, and the sidecar (PHOTON_SIDECAR_WATCH_STDIN=1) shuts down on
stdin EOF — fired by the OS on any parent death, including SIGKILL.
- Startup reaping: before spawning, the adapter probes the port and
terminates a stale listener, but only after verifying its command
line is a Photon sidecar; a foreign listener raises a clear error
instead of being signalled.

Pin spectrum-ts to exactly 3.0.0 (was ^1.18.0 plus an `npm install
spectrum-ts@latest` on every setup) so breaking SDK majors can't take
down fresh installs silently; `hermes photon setup` now runs `npm ci`.
Upgrade procedure documented in the README.
Migrate resolveSpace to the v3 namespace API: `im.space.create(phone)`
for DMs and `im.space.get(id)` for everything else — group spaces are
now rehydratable from their persisted id after a sidecar restart, which
v1 could not do.
Markdown: replies go out via the v3 `markdown()` builder (iMessage
renders natively; other Spectrum platforms degrade to plain text).
`PHOTON_MARKDOWN=false` reverts to the stripped plain-text path.
Reactions, behind PHOTON_REACTIONS (default off): lifecycle tapbacks
(👀 while processing, 👍/👎 on completion) via new sidecar /react and
/unreact endpoints with per-target reaction-handle tracking, and user
tapbacks on bot-sent messages routed to the agent as synthetic
`reaction:added:<emoji>` events.

The subscription-cap usage gauge (50/75/90% bands) ignored purchased
(top-up) credits: a sub user with top-up funds got a sticky warn banner
at 90% of their cap — permanently at >=100%, alongside grant_spent —
despite being fully able to keep inferencing. The cap is the wrong
denominator for an account that can keep spending.
- evaluate_credits_notices: purchased_micros > 0 suppresses the usage
band (grant_spent already covers the cap-reached + top-up case with
the remaining balance). A top-up landing mid-session clears any
showing band; spending top-up down to 0 resumes the gauge.
- New display.credits_notices config (default true): false silences all
credits notices. State capture and /usage are unaffected. Read once
per agent (cached) in _emit_credits_notices, fail-open true.
- Docs: configuration.md display block.
The original fix added agent/memory_manager.py:flatten_message_content, but
that helper was a near-exact duplicate of
agent/codex_responses_adapter.py:_summarize_user_message_for_log — same
None/str/list dispatch, same {text,input_text,output_text}/{image_url,input_image}
part sets, the identical [N image(s)] marker, and the same str() fallback. The
only difference was the join separator (newline for memory vs space for the
log/trajectory previews the existing helper already serves), and that helper is
already imported into agent/turn_finalizer.py — the same file whose call site the
memory fix touches.
Parameterize the existing helper with sep=' ' (default preserves every current
logging/trajectory caller byte-for-byte) and call it with sep='\n' at the memory
boundary; drop the forked flatten_message_content. Repoints the unit tests to the
consolidated helper and adds a case locking the default space-join.
Single source of truth for multimodal-content flattening; no behavior change for
the fix or for existing callers.
Multimodal turns carry message content as a list of typed parts
({type: "text"|"image_url", ...}). _sync_external_memory_for_turn
passed that list straight into MemoryManager.sync_all, and providers
feed it to regexes — Honcho's sync_turn calls sanitize_context, where
re.sub raised 'expected string or bytes-like object, got list'. Every
turn with an attached image silently never synced.
Flatten to plain text at the boundary: text parts joined, images noted
as an [N image(s)] marker so the attachment isn't erased from recall.
Fixing here covers all providers instead of patching each plugin.

Fireworks-hosted Kimi rejects tool requests when nullable MCP/Pydantic
schemas collapse to {"$ref": "...", "default": null}. Strip that sibling
during global schema sanitization so gateway and CLI calls succeed again.
list_plugins() attribution diffed registry names against all already-loaded
plugins, so when a plugin registered a hook / middleware / tool name an
earlier plugin had already used, the shared name was credited to the first
plugin only and later plugins under-reported (0 hooks) in hermes plugins
list. commands_registered right beside it already attributed correctly by
plugin ownership.
Snapshot per-registry counts before register() and attribute the entries
this plugin's register() actually added (per-registration delta). Add a
regression test: two plugins registering the same hook name are each
credited with 1 hook.
discover_and_load(force=True) cleared every per-plugin registry except
_plugin_platform_names, which register_platform() populates. A platform
plugin disabled between force-rediscovers left a stale name behind, so the
set diverged from the real platform_registry / _plugins state and never
shrank across repeated force passes.
Add the missing clear() and a regression test that seeds every per-plugin
registry, forces a rediscover, and asserts they all empty (so a future
registry addition can't silently leak across a force pass either).
Register no-op Slack event handlers for inbound reaction_added and reaction_removed events so Slack Bolt does not log unhandled-request warnings for events Hermes does not consume.
The previous implementation captured loop vars via default arguments::
async def _wrapped(ack, body, action, _cb=_cb, _plugin_name=_plugin_name):
slack_bolt's ``kwargs_injection`` introspects each listener's signature
via ``inspect.signature`` and passes ``None`` for any parameter name it
doesn't recognise (see ``slack_bolt/kwargs_injection/async_utils.py``
``build_async_required_kwargs``). That clobbered ``_cb`` to ``None`` at
dispatch time, so the wrapped plugin handler became ``NoneType`` —
``await _cb(...)`` then raised ``'NoneType' object is not callable`` and
no plugin action handler ever fired.
Replace the default-arg trick with a small closure factory so the
wrapper's public signature is exactly ``(ack, body, action)``. Add a
regression test that introspects the wrapped function's signature.
Found via real Slack click on a Block Kit button registered through
``ctx.register_slack_action_handler`` — gateway log showed
``[Slack] Plugin 'None' action handler raised: 'NoneType' object is
not callable`` despite the registration log line confirming the
handler was wired.

Plugins that post Block Kit messages with interactive elements (buttons,
overflow menus, datepickers, etc.) had no documented way to receive the
resulting click events. The plugin API exposed register_tool, register_hook,
register_command, register_platform, and register_context_engine, but
nothing for slack_bolt action handlers. The only workaround was to
monkey-patch SlackAdapter.connect from inside register(), which is
fragile and breaks on every Hermes update.
This change adds:
* PluginContext.register_slack_action_handler(action_id, callback) —
validates inputs and queues the handler on the PluginManager.
action_id accepts whatever slack_bolt.App.action() accepts (literal
string, compiled re.Pattern, or constraint dict).
* PluginManager.get_slack_action_handlers() — accessor used by the
Slack adapter at connect time.
* SlackAdapter.connect — after wiring its built-in approval and
slash-confirm buttons, iterates the plugin-registered handlers
and registers each via self._app.action(matcher)(callback). Each
callback is wrapped defensively so a misbehaving plugin cannot
crash slack_bolt's dispatch loop, with a best-effort ack on
exception so Slack stops retrying the click.
* Defensive fallback when the plugin layer is unhealthy: a
RuntimeError from get_plugin_manager() is logged and swallowed
rather than blocking the gateway from starting.
* Test coverage in tests/gateway/test_slack_plugin_action_handlers.py
for input validation, multi-plugin registration, the connect-time
wiring, defensive exception handling, and the plugin-loader-
failure fallback path.
* Documentation in website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md
describing the new API alongside the existing register_command /
dispatch_tool documentation.
