One relay adapter fronts N platforms on one WS, but the capability surface
(MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH / message_len_fn) was a scalar from whichever descriptor
resolved the handshake — and the transport's read loop OVERWROTE it on every
descriptor frame (last-writer-wins). A Discord chat on a gateway whose
applied descriptor was Telegram's inherited the 4,096-char cap and over-sent
into Discord's 2,000-char API 400 (observed live: 2,543/2,641-char replies
silently lost while inbound kept working).
- ws_transport: accumulate one descriptor per platform in
_descriptors_by_platform (exposed via descriptor_for_platform); the FIRST
descriptor of a connection generation stays the session default instead of
last-writer-wins; the map resets on re-dial.
- BasePlatformAdapter: new max_message_length_for_chat /
message_len_fn_for_chat hooks defaulting to the scalar surface (native
single-platform adapters unchanged).
- RelayAdapter: overrides resolve the chat's platform from _platform_by_chat
(the same map per-frame egress uses) and look up that platform's negotiated
descriptor; falls back to the scalar for unknown chats/transports.
- stream_consumer (streaming budget, _raw_message_limit, fallback-continuation
chunking) + run.py tool-progress limit now resolve per-chat.
Tests: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_per_platform_caps.py (7) — verified
fail-without/pass-with (all 7 fail with the fix stashed). Relay + stream
consumer suites green (213 + 223).
Hardening on top of the salvaged #51642: free-text fields
(preview/goal/summary/output_tail) pass redact_sensitive_text(force=True)
before leaving on the public /v1/runs SSE stream — same treatment the API
already applies to error text — and child_session_id survives the
allowlist so clients can correlate the child's session. Both were flagged
in the sweeper review of #51642 and unaddressed.
Behind proxies like Cloudflare Warp that leave peer-initiated FIN in
CLOSE_WAIT, aiohttp's default 30s keepalive_timeout lets idle sockets
accumulate. Use keepalive_timeout=2 + enable_cleanup_closed=True on the
weixin SSL connector so idle connections drain promptly (#18451 class,
related #69089).
Partial salvage of #70939: only the weixin connector hardening survives;
the PR's event-loop-freeze watchdog half is superseded by the loop-liveness
watchdog already merged on main (selector floor + thread-based probe, config-
gated via gateway.loop_watchdog).
Cross-surface coverage #23768 missed (per review feedback):
- tools/clarify_gateway.py: _ClarifyEntry carries a multi_select flag
(register() accepts it; signature() exposes it to adapters).
_coerce_text_response now parses multi-select replies — comma- or
space-separated numbers ('1,3' / '1 3'), exact labels, dedup — into a
JSON array string that _parse_multi_select_response decodes into a
list. Out-of-range/unknown tokens reject the reply (native button UI)
or fall back to custom text (awaiting_text/'Other' mode).
- gateway/run.py: _clarify_callback_sync accepts multi_select and
registers it on the pending entry.
- gateway/platforms/base.py: default numbered-list text fallback tells
the user multiple selections are allowed and how to reply.
- tui_gateway/server.py: clarify_callback passes multi_select through
the clarify.request payload as a hint; renderers without checkbox
support ignore the field and remain single-select-compatible.
- tests: 13 new gateway tests (flag storage, comma/space/single-number
parsing, label matching, out-of-range rejection, dedup, end-to-end
resolve, single-select regressions).
Follow-up to the salvaged #71756: instead of webhook importing cron's
private _is_cron_silence_response, the loose autonomous-lane matcher now
lives in gateway/response_filters.py as is_autonomous_silence_response,
sharing LIVE_GATEWAY_SILENT_MARKERS with the interactive exact-marker
rule so the marker sets can never drift. Cron and webhook both delegate
to it. Interactive gateway behavior unchanged.
A webhook route that answered `[SILENT]` still delivered, whenever the model
added a sentence saying why it was staying quiet:
[SILENT]
The new inbound was the same email quoted back a second time, on a ticket
we already answered. Nothing new to reply to, so I closed it.
Webhook subscription prompts tell the agent to answer `[SILENT]` on a tick that
produced no story — a duplicate inbound, a stand-down because a sibling lane
already replied, a routine close. Nobody is waiting on the other end of a
webhook, so a "nothing happened" message has no reader.
Delivery went through the live gateway's `is_intentional_silence_response`,
which requires the response to be EXACTLY a marker. That rule is right for an
interactive chat: swallowing a real answer because it opens with a marker is
much worse than showing a stray marker. It is the wrong trade for an autonomous
lane, where a leaked non-story is a pointless notification on every tick and
models reliably append the explanation that flips the check back to "deliver".
Cron already resolved this the other way — `cron/scheduler.py` treats a marker
on its own first or last line as silence — so the two autonomous lanes
disagreed while the interactive path was fine.
Suppress in `WebhookAdapter.send`, before the deliver-type switch, so every
route (log, github_comment, cross-platform) behaves the same. Reuses cron's
`_is_cron_silence_response` rather than restating the rule, so the two lanes
cannot drift; prose that merely mentions a marker mid-sentence still delivers.
The interactive gateway path is untouched.
Tests: six cases in tests/gateway/test_webhook_adapter.py — bare marker,
marker + trailing prose (the reported shape), marker on the last line, a real
report, a report quoting a marker mid-sentence, and a `log` route. Verified
red-first: with the suppression removed the three silence cases fail
("Expected send to not have been awaited") while the three delivery cases still
pass, so the tests assert the fix rather than the framework.
Follow-up wave to #72170 resolving the remaining open MEDIA-delivery gaps:
- #24032: add .kmz/.kml/.geojson/.gpx to MEDIA_DELIVERY_EXTS, and recover
unknown-extension paths containing spaces via _match_extensionless_path —
validation-gated forward extension across single spaces (bounded at 8
tokens, stops at newline / next MEDIA: keyword). The regex itself stays
non-greedy and whitespace-bounded so the #68773 absorption bug class
cannot return; the on-disk file check is the oracle.
- #16434 (streaming half): _strip_media_tag_directives now uses the same
mask-as-locator pattern as extract_media, so MEDIA tags inside fenced
code blocks, inline-code examples, and JSON string values survive in
streamed display text instead of being mangled. Display and delivery
now agree on every protected-span rule.
- Updated three stream_consumer display expectations that pinned the old
inconsistent behavior (backtick/double-quote tags stripped from display
while delivery never attempted them).
The model sometimes echoes a previous MEDIA:path tag or bare file path in a later response. Previously both streaming delivery and non-streaming delivery would re-send those files, causing duplicate documents/images on later turns.
Changes:
- _collect_history_media_paths now also scans assistant messages for MEDIA: tags, not just tool results.
- _deliver_media_from_response accepts pre-computed history_media_paths and filters extracted media/local files.
- BasePlatformAdapter gains _history_media_paths_for_session for non-streaming dedup.
Two remaining formatting variants that silently killed file delivery:
- A trailing sentence period (MEDIA:/x/data.csv.) failed the boundary
lookahead, so the tag neither extracted nor stripped. The period is now
accepted as a boundary only when followed by whitespace/EOL, keeping
multi-part extensions (.tar.gz) intact.
- A whole tag wrapped in inline code (`MEDIA:/x/data.csv`) was masked as
a prose example (#35695). Models routinely format paths as inline code,
eating real deliveries. Inline-code tags now deliver when the path
validates on disk; non-existent example paths stay masked and fenced
code blocks remain fully masked.
Adds a regression matrix covering both plus the salvaged contributor
fixes (emphasis wrap, glued tags, glued [[as_document]], dedupe,
unknown-extension and extensionless delivery).
MEDIA_DELIVERY_EXTS in gateway/platforms/base.py omitted .3gp, causing
MEDIA: tags with .3gp files to leak as plain text instead of being
extracted for native video delivery. _VIDEO_EXTS in
tools/send_message_tool.py and _MIGRATION_VIDEO_EXTS in the Feishu
adapter omitted .webm, causing .webm files to be classified as
documents instead of video on Telegram and other platforms.
Both extensions are already present in every gateway-side _VIDEO_EXTS
definition (run.py, kanban_watchers.py, weixin.py, base.py local).
Closes#71621, Closes#71603
Surface a user-visible delivery notice when non-streaming media dispatch
gets success=False after MEDIA tags were stripped, and validate forum
starter-message attachments the same way as direct channel sends (#66797).
Outbound MEDIA video/document tags on the Discord non-streaming path
were extracted (stripped from the visible text) but never delivered:
no attachment, no error, and no dispatch log line (#66797). The
open-handle discord.File plus singular file= form could race Discord's
multipart encoder after an earlier image batch on the same channel and
return a successful message carrying zero attachments.
Fix _send_file_attachment (used by send_video/send_document/
send_image_file) to:
- use a path-based discord.File via the plural files=[...] kwarg, the
same pattern as the working send_multiple_images batch path;
- pre-flight os.path.isfile and return a File not found result instead
of raising deep inside discord.File;
- fail loud when Discord accepts the message but attaches nothing, so
the dispatch loop surfaces a warning rather than a silent drop;
- add INFO dispatch logs (base non-image MEDIA fan-out, video send, and
file attachment) so a MEDIA:.mp4 cannot vanish without a trace.
Tests (tests/gateway/test_discord_send.py):
- path-based files=[...] kwarg used, singular file= unset;
- fail-loud when the returned message has no attachments;
- missing file fails fast without resolving the channel;
- forum-parent delivery routes through create_thread with files=[...];
- end-to-end image+video response routes the mp4 to send_video while
images still batch.
Fixes#66797
When the same file is referenced multiple times in one message (common
when the agent emits MEDIA tags both inline and in a summary footer),
the platform adapter uploads/sends the same file twice — visible as
duplicate attachments in Telegram, duplicate posts in Slack, etc.
Set-based dedup on the expanded path, preserving first-occurrence order.
Two MEDIA: path tags emitted back-to-back without a separator merged
into a single invalid path and were silently dropped. The same happened
for extension-less tags.
Root cause: both regexes in gateway/platforms/base.py used greedy
quantifiers in their path class, causing adjacent tags to be absorbed.
Fix: make both regexes non-greedy (add ? to quantifiers) and add
MEDIA: to the trailing lookahead boundary set so the next MEDIA:
keyword stops the current match cleanly.
Models routinely present a file to the user with the delivery tag wrapped in
Markdown emphasis — `**MEDIA:/path.pptx**`, `*MEDIA:/path*`, `_MEDIA:/path_`.
MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE only tolerated a single leading/trailing quote or backtick
(`[`"']?`), and its closing lookahead set excluded `*` and `_`, so an
emphasis-wrapped tag never matched. The file was then silently never delivered
and the literal `MEDIA:/path` text leaked into the chat instead — the user sees
a path, not the attachment.
Allow a short run of emphasis/quote markers (`[`"'*_]{0,3}`) on both sides of
the tag and add `*`/`_` to the closing lookahead. Code-block, inline-code and
blockquote contexts are still neutralised earlier by `_mask_protected_spans`
(#35695), so documentation/example tags remain non-deliverable; the
absolute-path anchor still rejects relative paths; `_` inside a filename is
unaffected.
Adds regression coverage in TestExtractMedia for bold/italic/underscore
wrapping, mid-prose bold, emphasis-wrapped .html, underscore-in-filename, and
emphasis-wrapped relative-path rejection.

MEDIA_TAG_CLEANUP_RE failed to match when a directive like [[as_document]]
was concatenated directly to the file extension without whitespace
(e.g., MEDIA:/home/user/report.xlsx[[as_document]]). This caused the
file to be silently not delivered while the gateway reported success.
Root cause: the lookahead character class [\s`",;:)\}\]|$) did not
include [, so [[as_document]] immediately after the extension broke
the lookahead assertion.
Fix: add \[ to the lookahead class so directives can follow the path
without whitespace. This is safe because [ is already stripped elsewhere
in the same file via .replace("[[as_document]]", "").
Added regression tests covering:
- Directive glued to extension (issue case)
- Directive with whitespace (baseline)
- Tag at end of string ($ anchor)
- RelayAdapter.send_exec_approval / send_slash_confirm / send_clarify:
override the base text fallbacks with ONE platform-abstract `prompt` op
(connector renders Discord components / Telegram inline keyboards /
Slack Block Kit / WhatsApp buttons+lists). Option sets mirror the native
adapters exactly (once/session/always/deny with the same
allow_session/allow_permanent/smart_denied gating; once/always/cancel;
choices + Other). Clarify option ids are positional (c0..cN/other) —
choice text is arbitrary UTF-8, callback budgets are 64 bytes.
- Pending-prompt registry: gateway-minted 8-hex prompt ids →
{kind, session_key, extras}; one answer wins, lazy expiry, unanswered
prompts swept opportunistically. Wire timeout_s stays advisory.
- _consume_prompt_response (wired into _on_inbound AND the Discord
passthrough lane): routes answers to the SAME primitives the native
button handlers call — tools.approval.resolve_gateway_approval,
tools.slash_confirm.resolve, tools.clarify_gateway
resolve/mark_awaiting_text — then acks in-channel. Unknown/expired ids
fall through as command-shaped text (typed-reply degradation, the
relay's analog of the native 'approval expired' edit).
- Discord type-3 stub replaced: an hp1:<prompt>:<option> custom_id decodes
to a structured prompt_response (codec mirrored from the connector's
promptCodec); foreign custom_ids keep the legacy best-effort text shape.
- MessageEvent.prompt_response field + ws_transport wire parsing (additive).
- react ack lifecycle: on_processing_start/complete → `react` ops
(👀 → ✅/❌, remove-then-add), op-gated on supported_ops, best-effort by
contract (a react failure never touches the turn).
- Op gating throughout: a connector not advertising `prompt` gets
success=False from send_exec_approval/send_slash_confirm (run.py's text
fallback takes over — same contract as a failed native button send) and
the base numbered-text clarify; `react` silently no-ops.
- docs/relay-connector-contract.md §4: prompt / prompt_response / react
semantics (callback token, budgets, authorization-parity, foreign-id
behavior, per-platform react mappings).
- tests: tests/gateway/relay/test_relay_interactive.py (19) — option-set
rendering + gating matrices, registry consume-once/expiry, resolver
routing for all three kinds (monkeypatched primitives), fall-through
cases, Discord hp1 decode + foreign-id shape, react lifecycle
(success/failure/cancelled), op-gated/best-effort react.

Add a persisted, backend-confirmed provider/model lock for Hermes
Browser and other session API clients. A confirmed lock is an
execution contract rather than response metadata:
- POST /api/sessions/{session_id}/model validates and persists a
confirmed browser_model_lock (advertised in /v1/capabilities)
- session chat + chat/stream consume the persisted lock on body-only
follow-up turns; a confirmed lock wins over an older gateway session
/model override and the session-persisted model
- a later successful session /model switch explicitly clears and
replaces the lock while preserving lineage markers (_branched_from)
and invalidating cached system-prompt model/provider metadata
- ordinary one-off request overrides never replace a confirmed lock
- provider-resolution failure fails closed as a typed provider-auth
error (controlled response, never global-credential reuse)
- confirmed locks disable the global fallback model chain
- the completed agent's actual provider/model must match the locked
route or the turn fails with a runtime-mismatch error
- responses carry sanitized runtime metadata reporting actual vs
requested provider/model and lock state
Rebased onto the provider-aware request routing (#70853) and
session-model parity (#70931) that landed since the original branch;
the lock now slots into that precedence chain as the top rung.
Salvaged from PR #61236 by @abundantbeing.
Three parity fixes between the API server and the native gateway's
agent-runtime resolution, integrated with the provider-aware request
routing that landed in #70853:
- Session-persisted model is honored: POST /api/sessions {"model": ...}
stores a model that the chat handlers previously fetched and threw
away. A stored value that matches a model_routes alias goes through
the route path (route provider/credentials apply); a raw model string
threads through as session_model, pinning the session's turns ahead
of per-request body values but below an explicit session /model
override.
- Empty-model recovery: provider-catalog default when config has no
model.default but a provider resolved, plus last-known-good model
recovery (#35314) keyed on gateway_session_key only (never ephemeral
session_id — no unbounded growth from one-off requests).
- Provider auth failures surface as controlled responses: RuntimeError
from _resolve_runtime_agent_kwargs() is re-raised as a dedicated
_ProviderAuthResolutionError at the call site, caught narrowly in
_run_agent() and the /v1/runs executor to return run.py's response
shape instead of an undifferentiated 500 (session-chat endpoints
previously returned a raw aiohttp 500 with no JSON body).

Add authenticated GET /api/model/options to the gateway API server,
sharing the dashboard/TUI picker payload builder so external clients
can sync to the user's configured Hermes provider catalog instead of
scraping the single OpenAI-compatible /v1/models alias.
- new shared hermes_cli.inventory.build_model_options_payload() wraps
build_models_payload with the stable picker shape and safe
custom-provider probe policy (probe current only on normal open,
probe all + cache bust on explicit refresh)
- dashboard web_server and TUI gateway model.options refactored onto
the shared builder; dashboard build moved off the event loop via
run_in_threadpool
- capabilities endpoint advertises model_options
- docs for both API server and programmatic integration
Salvaged from PR #54689 by @abundantbeing.
Follow-ups on the salvaged #54426 routing contract:
- Bare `model` without `provider` on the OpenAI-compatible endpoints
(/v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses) is now opt-in via
gateway.platforms.api_server.direct_model_requests (default off) —
generic OpenAI clients hardcode model names ('gpt-4o', ...) and
existing deployments rely on those falling back to the gateway
default. Explicit `provider` requests and the Hermes-native
session-chat + /v1/runs surfaces are always honored.
Idea credit: PR #22825 by @mssteuer.
- A model_routes alias with no `model` key can no longer leak the
alias string as the executing model name (defensive; parse-time
validation already drops such routes).
- Fix mis-indented _run_agent call args in _handle_session_chat_stream.
- Docs: document the opt-in flag.
Carry model, provider, and model_options through the API server's
execution surfaces (session chat, Chat Completions, Responses, /v1/runs)
without mutating global configuration. Precedence: session /model
override -> model_routes alias -> direct request selection -> global
defaults. Conflicting route/provider mixes fail closed with 400.
model_options stays request-scoped regardless of which selection wins.

.get("key", {}) only applies the default when the key is ABSENT.
When the key exists with value None (null in JSON), .get() returns
None and the subsequent .get() raises AttributeError.
Fix: replace .get("key", {}).get(...) with (.get("key") or {}).get(...)
which handles both missing keys AND None values.

runs-originated background delegations stayed forced-sync with no wake

do via _run_agent(). Follow-up to #64998 (sweeper review F2).
The api_server adapter returned error code "invalid_api_key" for
API_SERVER_KEY authentication failures, which the Desktop error
classifier misidentified as a provider (OpenRouter/OpenAI) key
problem — showing "OpenRouter API key missing" when the real issue
was gateway auth.
Changes:
- gateway/platforms/api_server.py: return "gateway_auth_failed" code
with descriptive message for API_SERVER_KEY auth failures
- apps/desktop/src/store/notifications.ts: add "gateway_auth_failed"
handler before "invalid_api_key" to show correct error message
- agent/error_classifier.py: add "gateway_auth_failed" to auth patterns
- tests: update test_session_api.py to expect new error code
Fixes#39365
When _api_key_passes_startup_guard() rejects the key (missing,
placeholder/too short, or fail-closed unverifiable strength), connect()
returned a bare False with no fatal-error info. gateway.run's reconnect
watcher treats that as transient and re-queues with backoff forever —
each retry re-instantiating the adapter and its ResponseStore sqlite
connection. Observed in production (#37011): ~501 leaked connections
(1002 fds) over ~2.5 days until EMFILE made the whole gateway
unresponsive.
Set a non-retryable fatal error (api_server_key_invalid) in connect()
when the guard rejects, covering all three rejection branches, so the
platform drops from the reconnect queue; recover with
`/platform resume api_server` after fixing the key. Same treatment as
the port-conflict guard (api_server_port_in_use, #65665 / bda8bd76a8).
Tests mirror the port-conflict precedent: each rejection path asserts
connect() is False, has_fatal_error True, fatal_error_retryable False,
and fatal_error_code api_server_key_invalid, plus a strong-key control.
Re-implementation of #38803 by @cifangyiquan against current main —
their patch targeted the old inline guard in connect() which was since
extracted to _api_key_passes_startup_guard() (and gained the
fail-closed branch in 683059feb5), so the original diff no longer
applies. Their production diagnosis and non-retryable direction
preserved.
Refs: #38803, #37011
Adds `ensure_closed_code_fences()` helper to detect text with an odd
count of triple-backtick markers (indicating an unclosed code block)
and append a closing fence.
Applies the fix to all four identified gap paths:
G1: truncate_message early-break path for final chunk
G2: _send_or_edit streaming edit path (most commonly hit)
G3: overflow split first chunk (covered by G2's fix)
G4: _send_fallback_final fallback send path
Closes: #TBD
Build the full reaction pipeline on top of the #29916 base:
- Opt-in gate: slack.reaction_triggers (default OFF — reaction events
stay acked-and-dropped so busy channels don't wake the agent on every
emoji). 'true' routes reactions on the bot's OWN messages; an explicit
emoji-name list routes those emojis from any message (handoff flows).
- reaction_removed events now route too, distinguished by the
cross-platform text convention reaction:added:<emoji> /
reaction:removed:<emoji> (matches the Feishu and Photon adapters, so
agents and skills see one shape everywhere).
- Authorization: the reactor becomes the synthesized message's user, so
the early _is_user_authorized gate and allowed_channels whitelist
apply exactly as for typed messages. _hermes_force_process only skips
the mention requirement (a reaction on the bot's own message is
definitionally addressed to the bot), mirroring Feishu/Photon.
- Gateway hooks (#33111 by @johnkattenhorn): every human reaction on a
message item fires reaction:added / reaction:removed through the new
BasePlatformAdapter.set_reaction_handler → GatewayRunner
._handle_reaction_event → HookRegistry.emit, independent of the
routing opt-in. Documented in hooks.md.
- Channel handoff (#45265 by @Kev-fs): slack.reaction_trigger_target
routes the reaction turn to a configured channel (top-level via
_hermes_no_thread_response + reply-anchor suppression in
gateway/platforms/base.py) or C123:<ts> thread.
- Manifest: reaction_removed event subscription added alongside
reaction_added/reactions:read.
- Docs: slack.md Reaction Triggers section; hooks.md event table rows.

Install connect-time DNS validation for Hermes-owned direct httpx clients so SSRF-sensitive fetch paths dial a vetted IP instead of re-resolving after preflight. This preserves Host/SNI semantics for direct HTTP(S) connections and keeps proxy routing as an explicit trusted egress boundary.
Wire the guarded clients into media cache downloads, vision downloads, Skills Hub direct/raw fetches, and platform attachment fetch paths that already perform SSRF preflight and redirect validation.

`_api_key_passes_startup_guard` refuses to start the API server on a weak
`API_SERVER_KEY`, and its own log says why:
This endpoint dispatches terminal-capable agent work — a guessable key
is remote code execution.
But the check is wrapped so that a failure to import it starts the server
anyway:
try:
from hermes_cli.auth import has_usable_secret
if not has_usable_secret(self._api_key, min_length=16):
... return False
except ImportError:
pass
return True
`hermes_cli.auth` imports httpx at module scope and pulls in a large slice of
the CLI, so an import failure is not hypothetical — a trimmed image, a partial
install, or a circular import during gateway startup all produce one. When it
happens the strength check silently disappears and only the presence check
above it remains, so a placeholder key passes.
Reproduced against the real guard with the import blocked:
weak key, normal : False
weak key, ImportError : True <-- starts on a 4-char key
strong key, normal : True
Fail closed instead: an unverifiable key does not get to expose the endpoint,
and the log names the actual problem so the operator can repair the install.
This is the posture tools/credential_files.py already takes — it refuses a
mount when its deny-list cannot be consulted rather than risking it. The catch
also widens from ImportError to Exception, so an AttributeError or an error
raised inside the check cannot reopen the same hole.
Both happy paths are untouched: a strong key still starts, a weak or missing
key is still refused with the existing messages.
Unrelated to #38803, which fixes the retry behaviour after this guard rejects
and assumes the guard ran.
tests/gateway/test_api_server.py: new TestApiKeyStartupGuardFailsClosed — a
weak key is refused when the check is unavailable, a strong key is refused too
(fail-closed), plus three controls pinning the unchanged normal paths. The two
fail-open tests fail on main; the three controls pass there. 222 passed in the
api_server suites; 1475 passed across every suite touching api_server, with
the same 8 pre-existing failures on clean main.
The gateway /compress path can force a user-leading layout that leaves
the compaction summary after a retained system head, so scanning only
the leading block misses it. Preserve marker-carrying messages wherever
they sit, filling the remaining budget with the most recent other
messages, and cover the non-leading position with a test.
Rework on top of the salvaged #58133 commits:
- Remove the compression.persist_in_response_store config key — this is
a bug fix (stored transcripts must reflect what the agent will actually
replay), not behavior that should be opt-out-able.
- Drop the per-request load_config() imports the handler-level persist
blocks added.
- Dedupe the two handler-level persist blocks: the compressed-transcript
substitution already lives in _build_response_conversation_history
(via result["_compressed"]), so the handlers only need to propagate
the effective (possibly rotation-changed) session_id. The streaming
path does this via a new session_id_snapshot arg on
_persist_response_snapshot; the non-streaming path picks up
result["session_id"] directly.
- Rotation propagation no longer gates on history-from-store: the first
request in a chain can also rotate, and its stored session_id must be
the child session or the next previous_response_id request resumes the
pre-rotation session and re-compresses every turn.
The persist logic only checked _result_sid != session_id (rotation),
missing in-place mode where session_id is unchanged but _compressed
flag is set. response_store history doubled every turn (11->26->55->110->225)
causing repeated re-compression.
Fix: detect compression via _did_compress or _rotated, and only update
_effective_session_id on actual rotation (not in-place).
Note: preflight loop break (turn_context.py) from original commit
eee64097a is excluded — it's an optimization, not a bug fix.
Cherry-picked from alidev eee64097a (api_server.py only)
- Detect when history is loaded from response_store (via previous_response_id)
- Add history_from_store parameter to distinguish history source
- When compression occurs, persist compressed messages instead of original
- Add persist_in_response_store config option (default True)
- Update session_id and response headers to reflect session rotation

Compression produces a compact transcript in result['messages'],
but _build_response_conversation_history detected a prefix mismatch
and concatenated the original conversation_history on front.
Detect compression via _last_compaction_in_place / session_id
rotation and signal through result['_compressed'] so the builder
uses the compressed transcript directly.
The /api/status gateway_updated_at field and the gateway /health/detailed
updated_at field passed through whatever gateway_state.json contained,
untyped. All current writers emit RFC3339 via _utc_now_iso(), but legacy
gateways wrote unix epoch floats, and a corrupt or hand-edited state file
can inject numbers or arbitrary garbage — while the frontend types
(web/src/lib/api.ts) declare string | null.
Add normalize_updated_at() in gateway/status.py as the single funnel:
- str: accepted iff datetime.fromisoformat parses (trailing Z tolerated);
naive timestamps coerced to UTC; canonical isoformat returned
- int/float: treated as unix epoch seconds -> UTC ISO string, with a
plausibility guard (reject < 2000-01-01, > now+1day, non-finite)
- bool: rejected explicitly (int subclass, but never a timestamp)
- anything else: None
Apply it at both emit sites: the dashboard /api/status handler (covers
both the local read_runtime_status() branch and the remote
/health/detailed cross-container fallback branch) and the gateway API
server's /health/detailed response.
Contract tests: parametrized /api/status normalization (epoch float/int,
garbage string, None, bool, dict, absent key), remote-health numeric and
garbage bodies, dashboard shape test round-trip assertion, direct
normalize_updated_at units (range guards, Z suffix, naive coercion,
non-finite floats), and a write_runtime_status -> read_runtime_status
round-trip proving the writer side stays tz-aware parseable.
_readiness_work_counts()'s active_api_runs set is {"queued", "running",
"waiting_for_approval"} — it excludes "stopping", the status
_handle_stop_run() sets while a run is being interrupted. Since the stop
is fully cooperative (the run stays "stopping" — doing real
executor-thread work — until the agent actually notices the interrupt and
the task settles to "cancelled", an unbounded window, not a fixed
timeout), /health/detailed's background_queues.active_api_runs
undercounts real active work for that whole duration.
Fix: add "stopping" to the active-status set. background_queues.status
itself is hardcoded "ok" (gateway/readiness.py), so this doesn't change
overall readiness — it only corrects the count value external monitoring
tooling reads from this endpoint.
/health and /health/detailed resolve the version via importlib.metadata
first, falling back to hermes_cli.__version__. On editable/source
checkouts — including the standard git-based install that hermes-setup
performs — hermes_agent-*.dist-info can survive a source update
unchanged, so the health endpoints keep reporting the previous release
even though the running code (CLI, dashboard, release tags) is newer.
Stale metadata does not raise, so the source fallback never fires.
Flip the preference: use hermes_cli.__version__ (the runtime source of
truth shared by the CLI and dashboard) first, and fall back to
distribution metadata only when the source import fails. The
never-raise contract of the version probe is unchanged.
Observed live: CLI, dashboard, and pyproject all reported 0.18.2 while
/health returned 0.18.0 from a stale hermes_agent-0.18.0.dist-info left
behind by a source update.

Widen the allow_session tier from Matrix to every adapter the gateway
notifies: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Feishu, and Teams gate their Session
button on it; WhatsApp Cloud and qqbot accept the kwarg (no session tier
in their button sets). Also thread allow_session through the plugin-
escalation gate, the execute_code guard payload, and the plain-text
fallback so every notify path carries the same capability flags.
