* feat(web_extract): truncate-and-store instead of LLM summarization
web_extract no longer runs an auxiliary LLM over scraped pages. The extract
backends (Firecrawl/Tavily/Exa/Parallel) already return clean, boilerplate-
stripped markdown, so we return it directly: pages within a char budget
(default 15000, web.extract_char_limit) come back whole; larger pages get a
head+tail window plus an explicit footer giving the stored full-text path and
the read_file call to page through the omitted middle. The full clean text is
written to cache/web (mounted read-only into remote backends like the other
cache dirs), so nothing is lost.
Inline base64 images are converted to [IMAGE: alt] placeholders (token bombs
dropped) while real http(s) image URLs are preserved as links so the agent can
still web_extract/vision_analyze them.
Removes process_content_with_llm + the chunked summarizer + check_auxiliary_model
+ _resolve_web_extract_auxiliary. context_references._default_url_fetcher is
updated to the truncate path and its stale data.documents shape read is fixed
to results (it was silently returning empty).
Live before/after eval (firecrawl, 4 URLs): 11.7x faster overall (176.6s ->
15.1s); 10-60x on large pages. Quality identical; findability 4/4 (answer
recoverable from stored full text on every truncated page). web_search is
unchanged.
No own scraper added; no changes to web_search.
* fix(web_extract): add char_limit to execute_code web_extract stub
The new web_extract char_limit param must appear in the code_execution_tool
_TOOL_STUBS signature (and doc line) or test_stubs_cover_all_schema_params
fails — the stub schema must cover every real schema param.
The register path builds each profile-gateway slot in a sibling staging
dir under /run/service (the scandir s6-svscan watches), then atomically
renames it to the live gateway-<profile> name. The staging dir was named
gateway-<profile>.tmp — a NON-dotfile — so a concurrent `s6-svscanctl -a`
rescan (fired by the cont-init reconciler registering gateway-default, or
by a sibling register) would supervise the half-built slot the moment it
had a valid type/run: s6-supervise spawns AS ROOT and mkdirs supervise/
root-owned 0700, then the in-flight _seed_supervise_skeleton early-returns
on the now-existing supervise/ and the next `mkdir supervise/event` hits
PermissionError.
That is the arm64-only CI flake on
test_s6_unregister_removes_service_dir_in_live_container
(PermissionError: /run/service/gateway-phase3test.tmp/supervise/event) —
arm64-only because the native-arm runner's wider scheduling jitter lets
the rescan land inside the ~ms seed window; amd64 ran 30/30 clean.
Fix: dot-prefix the staging dir (.gateway-<profile>.tmp) in both register
paths (S6ServiceManager.register_profile_gateway and
container_boot._register_service). s6-svscan skips any scandir entry whose
name begins with '.', so the half-built slot can never be supervised
mid-build. The atomic rename to the dotless live name is unchanged.
Verified on a real s6 image (amd64): a non-dotted staging dir is picked up
by an svscanctl -a rescan (SUPERVISED owner=root) while a dot-prefixed one
is ignored (NOT-SUPERVISED). Added a docker-harness regression test that
asserts both, plus a unit test that the staging dir is dot-prefixed.
list_session_providers() already filters on supports_session=True, so the
new helper re-filtered an already-filtered list. Call it directly at the
single auto-SSO call site.
When the dashboard gateway has no local session cookie, it rendered a
click-through /login interstitial — even though the Nous portal's
/oauth/authorize auto-approves any current member of the dashboard's org
and is a silent 302 when the user already holds a portal session. For the
common case (clicking a hosted-agent dashboard link while signed in to the
portal) that interstitial click is pure friction.
This makes the gate auto-initiate the OAuth redirect on an unauthenticated
HTML document load instead of rendering the interstitial, when exactly one
interactive provider is registered. A one-shot loop-guard cookie
(hermes_sso_attempt, 60s TTL) ensures that a genuinely absent portal
session (the portal bounces back still-unauthenticated) falls back to the
/login page after exactly one bounce rather than ping-ponging forever. The
marker is cleared on a successful callback and whenever the gate falls back
to /login.
Security: this removes a human CLICK, not a security check. The redirect
lands on the existing /auth/login route and runs the unchanged PKCE
auth-code flow; token verification, audience checks, redirect-URI match,
and org-membership checks are all untouched. /api/* fetches still get the
401 JSON envelope (never a 302 a fetch() would follow opaquely), and with
two or more providers the /login chooser still renders.
Phase 1 of the cloud-auto-discovery work.
find_alias_for_profile re-scanned the whole wrapper dir (~/.local/bin) and
read_text every file for EACH profile — including large unrelated binaries
(ffmpeg etc.) read 15x over. With 16 profiles this took ~6.4s, long enough
that the desktop's per-request backend calls timed out (15s) and the sidebar
rendered '全部智能体 0 / 会话 0'.
- Add build_alias_map(): single-pass {profile -> alias} reverse map, reads
only an 8KB head slice per wrapper, skips binaries via UnicodeDecodeError.
- find_alias_for_profile now delegates to it (behavior preserved).
- Cache _count_skills by skills-dir mtime signature (+30s TTL).
list_profiles: 6.37s -> 0.84s cold / 0.44s warm. 138 profile tests pass.
(cherry picked from commit 89e593749a)
resolve_custom_provider() previously returned api_key_env_vars=()
for every custom provider entry, silently dropping the configured
key_env field. This caused 401 errors for any custom provider that
required an API key via environment variable (e.g. Xiaomi MiMo Token
Plan, self-hosted OpenAI-compatible servers).
The key_env field is already documented in _VALID_CUSTOM_PROVIDER_FIELDS
and normalized by normalize_custom_provider_entry(), so this was just
an oversight in the ProviderDef construction.
Also adds a regression test that verifies key_env is properly
propagated into the resolved ProviderDef.
The first ship of verify-on-stop (config v30) defaulted
DEFAULT_CONFIG agent.verify_on_stop to a literal True, and migrate_config
persists defaults with strip_defaults=False — so every install that updated
through v30 had verify_on_stop: true written into config.yaml as a literal.
The v30->v31 migration only flipped missing/'auto' values to false and
deliberately preserved an explicit bool, so it skipped that entire population
and left verify-on-stop ON for everyone who had updated. A literal true was
never a user choice: the feature had no off-switch worth setting it against
until v31 introduced one, so a true persisted before v32 is always the old
machine default.
v32 migration flips a literal true -> false once, for both v30 (skipped v31)
and v31 (preserved-by-bug) installs. A true the user sets AFTER v32 is a
deliberate opt-in and is never touched.
The auth-header fix reads CAMOFOX_API_KEY but it was never registered,
so it didn't surface in `hermes setup` / `hermes tools`. Add it as an
advanced password-category tool env var alongside CAMOFOX_URL.
Group DMs (multi-person DMs, channel_type=mpim) were never delivered to
the Slack bot. The adapter already classifies mpim as a DM and replies
ambiently (adapter.py:2526, is_dm = channel_type in {im, mpim}), but the
generated app manifest only subscribed to message.im / im:history — the
1:1 DM pair. Without the message.mpim event subscription Slack drops
group-DM messages before the adapter ever sees them, so 1:1 DMs worked
while group-DM ambient mode was dead.
Add message.mpim to bot_events and mpim:history (the scope that event
requires per Slack docs) + mpim:read (mirrors im:read for the
conversations.info classification call) to bot_scopes. Update the
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_APP_TOKEN setup-help strings and the Slack docs
(EN + zh-Hans: scope table, event table, troubleshooting) so existing
installs are told to add the new scopes and reinstall.
Reported by an enterprise customer. Note: this is a manifest/scope
change, so it only takes effect after the app is reinstalled and the
new scopes are accepted.
Tests: assert message.mpim + mpim:history + mpim:read are in the
manifest (with and without assistant mode); both fail on current main
and pass with this change.
The Keys page only rendered env vars present in a catalog (OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
or the provider catalog); any other key a user set in .env was invisible, and
there was no way to add an arbitrary env var from the GUI (e.g. to inject a
var a skill or MCP server needs).
Backend: GET /api/env now also emits a row for every on-disk .env key that
isn't in any catalog, flagged category="custom" + custom=true and
password-masked (an unrecognised key could hold anything, so it's redacted and
reveal-gated like any secret). Channel-managed credentials stay excluded. The
write (PUT /api/env) and reveal (POST /api/env/reveal) paths already handle
arbitrary keys, with the existing env-name guard + denylist (PATH, LD_PRELOAD,
PYTHONPATH, …) enforced server-side — no new write surface.
Frontend: a new "Custom Keys" section lists those custom rows and carries an
add-a-key form (client-side name validation mirroring the backend regex; the
new row reuses the normal edit/save flow, so on save it round-trips back from
the backend as a durable custom row). i18n added for en + zh + types.
Tests: behavior-contract coverage that an unknown .env key surfaces as a
masked custom row and a catalogued key does not — verified to fail on the
pre-fix backend.
`hermes cron status` (and the create/list 'gateway not running' nag)
judge whether cron will fire purely from the in-process ticker's
heartbeat file + a live gateway PID. That heuristic is correct for the
built-in ticker but WRONG for an external provider like Chronos:
Chronos arms exactly one external one-shot per job and is fired by a
NAS-mediated webhook (POST /api/cron/fire). Its `start()` returns
immediately and it deliberately runs no 60s loop and writes no ticker
heartbeat — that's the whole point of scale-to-zero (the machine is at
zero between fires). So on a perfectly healthy Chronos instance,
`cron status` always printed '✗ Gateway is not running — cron jobs will
NOT fire' (or a STALLED-ticker warning), and `cron create` always
appended the 'jobs won't fire automatically' nag — both false.
Verified live on a staging Chronos instance: jobs fired and completed on
schedule via the relay while `cron status` insisted the gateway wasn't
running and the heartbeat was 370s+ stale.
Fix: resolve the active provider (offline — `resolve_cron_scheduler`,
whose `is_available()` contract forbids network) and, for any non-builtin
provider, report the managed-scheduler state instead of the ticker
heuristics, and suppress the ticker-only 'gateway not running' warning.
The built-in path is byte-unchanged. Active-job summary is factored into
a shared helper so both paths print it identically.
New tests prove both directions (chronos: no false negative even with no
gateway PID / no heartbeat; builtin: historical warning preserved) and
fail without the fix.
Add a focused contract test for the headless `serve` command (routes to the
shared dashboard handler, headless by default while `dashboard` is not, accepts
the legacy --no-open, shares the same runtime/lifecycle flag surface). Also
refresh the dashboard.py module docstring to cover both commands.
The desktop app spawned `hermes dashboard --no-open` as its backend, which
made the dashboard look like a desktop prerequisite. Add a dedicated headless
`hermes serve` command that boots the same gateway (shared cmd_dashboard /
start_server) but never opens a browser, and point the desktop backend spawn
exclusively at it. dashboard and serve are now independent surfaces — neither
launches the other.
- subcommands/dashboard.py: factor shared server args; add `serve` parser
(always headless; accepts legacy --no-open as a no-op)
- main.py: register serve in _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS + coalesce set + gui-log
detection; extend stale-backend reaper patterns to match `serve`
- desktop electron: spawn `serve`, rename dashboardArgs -> backendArgs,
update comments + windows-child-process test assertions
- docs: desktop README, desktop.md (incl. remote-backend), AGENTS.md, and
cli-commands.md now describe `hermes serve` as the desktop/headless backend
The dashboard Keys page and `hermes setup` render API-key rows from
OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS, but only Honcho had an entry — so Hindsight,
Supermemory, Mem0, RetainDB, ByteRover, and OpenViking read their keys
straight from os.environ yet had no place to set them in the GUI.
Add catalog entries (category=tool, password-masked, with get-key URLs
and the tool each powers) for all six, plus the relevant base-URL/endpoint
companions. Pure declaration: the generic GET /api/env endpoint, the
save/reveal write path, and the sandbox env blocklist (which auto-derives
from tool-category OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS) all pick these up with no further
wiring.
Adds a behavior-contract test asserting every memory provider's primary
credential key is catalogued, tool-categorised, and password-masked.
`hermes profile alias <profile> --name <custom>` accepted arbitrary
strings and used them verbatim as a filename under ~/.local/bin. Because
normalize_profile_name only lowercases/strips (no regex gate), a value
like `../../.bashrc` escaped the wrapper directory and clobbered
arbitrary user-writable files. remove_wrapper_script had the same sink.
Add validate_alias_name (reusing the profile-id regex, which forbids
`/`, `.`, and `..`) and wire it into check_alias_collision,
create_wrapper_script, remove_wrapper_script, and the CLI alias action so
the rejection surfaces a clear "Invalid alias name" error instead of
silently writing or unlinking outside the wrapper dir.

All three .env parsers use `line.partition("=")` without stripping the
bash-compatible `export ` prefix first. A line like `export API_KEY=sk-...`
produces key `"export API_KEY"` instead of `"API_KEY"`, silently ignoring
the variable and causing auth failures for users who copy-paste from
bash profiles or follow tutorials that include `export`.

The /api/audio/elevenlabs/voices endpoint logged a WARNING on every
failure, and the desktop re-polls it on each settings open/focus — a
bad/expired/scoped ELEVENLABS_API_KEY floods agent/gui logs with
identical "voice list failed: HTTP Error 401" lines indefinitely.
Treat 401/403 as a persistent "integration unavailable" state: return
{available: false, error: "unauthorized"} with a 200 (the dropdown
already handles available:false) instead of a 502, and collapse repeated
identical failures to a single log line via a small re-arming latch
(logs again on recovery or when the error changes). Non-auth errors keep
the 502 but are throttled the same way.
The startup config/manifest reads used PyYAML's pure-Python SafeLoader,
which is ~8x slower than the libyaml-backed CSafeLoader C extension.
config.yaml is parsed several times during launch (cli config, raw
config, early interface/redaction bridge, logging config) and every
plugin manifest is parsed once — all on the slow path.
Add utils.fast_safe_load (CSafeLoader-preferring, pure-Python fallback,
true drop-in for safe_load) and route the hot startup parse sites
through it: hermes_cli/config.py (config + manifest reads),
hermes_cli/plugins.py (manifest parse), env_loader, cli.load_cli_config,
hermes_logging, and the two pre-config early YAML bridges in main.py.
Behavior is identical (same restricted safe tag set); only speed changes.
safe_load calls on the startup path drop from ~79 to ~0, cutting the
YAML parse cost from ~0.9s to ~0.15s under profiling.
Adds tests/test_fast_safe_load.py asserting equivalence with safe_load
across input shapes, empty-doc falsiness, C-loader preference, and that
python/object tags are still rejected (safe, not full loader).
A config left with `provider: anthropic` but a leftover
`base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` (e.g. after a provider switch)
would route Anthropic OAuth/setup-token traffic to OpenRouter and 404.
Add `_anthropic_base_url_override_ok()` and gate the three native-Anthropic
resolution branches (pool, explicit, native) on it. The guard honors a
configured `model.base_url` only when it plausibly speaks the Anthropic
Messages protocol — official `*.anthropic.com` / `*.claude.com` hosts, Azure
Foundry endpoints, and `/anthropic`-suffixed or Kimi `/coding` proxies — and
falls back to `https://api.anthropic.com` otherwise. Aggregator URLs like
openrouter.ai / api.openai.com are treated as stale.
Reconstructed from @clovericbot's PR #3661 onto current main: the original
patched one branch with an anthropic-only allow-list, which would have broken
Azure-via-anthropic; widened to all three sites and made Azure/proxy-safe.
Bundled platform plugins (telegram, discord, feishu, teams, ...) were
eagerly imported at plugin-discovery time on every `hermes` invocation,
including plain `hermes chat` which never touches a gateway platform.
Their modules import heavy platform SDKs at module level (lark_oapi,
microsoft_teams, discord.py, slack_bolt, ...) — feishu alone pulled in
lark_oapi (~2.6s), teams pulled microsoft_teams (~1.9s).
Discovery now registers a cheap deferred loader per platform in the
platform_registry; the adapter module is imported only when the gateway
/ cron / setup / send_message path actually asks for that platform.
is_registered() and the iterate-all accessors stay correct (deferred
counts as registered; plugin_entries()/all_entries() materialize all
deferred loaders, since those paths genuinely need every adapter).
Cold start: ~4.4s -> ~2.45s to banner. discover_and_load: 2.0s -> 0.3s
(warm), and the heavy SDKs are no longer imported at all in CLI mode.
Every shipped platform remains available out of the box — it just loads
on first use.
When config.yaml has `provider: auto` and a non-cloud `base_url` (e.g. Ollama
at localhost:11434), requests were silently sent to https://api.anthropic.com
whenever ANTHROPIC_API_KEY was present in the environment, ignoring the
configured local endpoint and returning HTTP 401 / "credit balance too low".
Root cause: resolve_provider("auto") scans env vars and returns "anthropic"
when ANTHROPIC_API_KEY is set, before config.model.base_url is ever consulted.
In resolve_runtime_provider(), before calling resolve_provider(), short-circuit
to the OpenAI-compatible resolver when no explicit creds were passed, provider
is "auto"/unset, and a non-cloud base_url is configured. Well-known cloud roots
(openrouter.ai, anthropic.com, openai.com) are matched on HOST (not substring)
so look-alike hosts can't evade the bypass and leak a cloud credential.

On Windows, uv pip install -e . can register hermes.exe in package metadata
while the launcher never lands on disk. Detect missing [project.scripts]
shims and reinstall entry points under the existing quarantine path in
hermes update and install.ps1.
Keep the remote git mirror as a thin facade: route all GETs through gitGet,
all mutations through gitPost, and keep consumers on desktopGit(). On the
backend, route git paths through a single _git_path helper instead of repeating
str(_fs_path(...)) in every endpoint. Behavior unchanged.
Collapse the two near-duplicate status parsers (_parse_status_v2 +
_iter_status_entries) into a single _walk_entries generator feeding the rail,
review list, and commit flow; share the staged predicate; hoist `import re`.
Behavior unchanged.
After the folder picker fix, an added remote folder was still half-usable:
the desktop's git GUI (coding-rail status, worktree lanes, review pane,
branch switch, file diff) all ran Electron-local git on the USER's machine,
so against a remote-gateway repo they silently degraded to empty.
Mirror the whole surface over the dashboard REST API so it acts on the
BACKEND repo where sessions actually run:
- hermes_cli/web_git.py: git/gh logic (status, worktrees, branches, review
list/diff/stage/unstage/revert/commit/commit-context/push/ship-info/
create-pr, file-diff, worktree add/remove, branch switch) shelling to the
system git, mirroring the Electron ops' shapes.
- web_server.py: /api/git/* routes (same auth gate + _fs_path hardening as
/api/fs, executor-offloaded, mutations -> 400).
- apps/desktop desktop-git.ts: remote-aware facade exposing the same shape as
window.hermesDesktop.git; coding-status / review / projects / model /
desktop-fs route through desktopGit() so local stays Electron, remote hits
/api/git/*.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_git.py (real repo: status counts,
review classification, diff incl. untracked all-add, stage+commit roundtrip,
worktree/branch lifecycle, commit-context, gh-absent ship-info, auth) and
desktop-git.test.ts (local vs remote routing, envelope unwrap, POST bodies).
_get_platform_tools() applies agent.disabled_toolsets as a final
override AFTER reading platform_toolsets.<platform>, so a toolset
listed there stays permanently OFF no matter what the toggle write
path saves. Blank Slate installs pre-populate this list with ~27
toolsets, making most of the desktop Toolsets UI un-enableable
(issue #49995).
Fix: _save_platform_tools() now removes any toolset the user just
explicitly enabled FOR THIS PLATFORM from agent.disabled_toolsets.
Toolsets the user did not touch, or that remain disabled on other
platforms, are left alone -- disabled_toolsets keeps working as a
cross-platform suppression list for anything not actively re-enabled.
Disabling a toolset (unchecking it) does not touch disabled_toolsets
at all -- only enables reconcile it.
Verified end-to-end with the exact repro from the issue: Blank Slate
config (disabled_toolsets=['todo','memory','browser'], cli=['file',
'terminal']) -> enable 'todo' via the toggle -> _get_platform_tools()
now resolves 'todo' as enabled while 'memory'/'browser' (untouched)
remain disabled.
Added 4 regression tests. Full tools_config suite: 101 passed
(97 existing + 4 new), no regressions.
Fixes#49995
The Windows desktop GUI runs its backend headless via pythonw.exe. Several
auxiliary subprocess sites that run inside that windowless backend spawned
console-subsystem children (git, gh, wmic, powershell, bash, rg, taskkill)
WITHOUT CREATE_NO_WINDOW, so Windows allocated a fresh conhost per call and
flashed a black window on screen — sometimes continuously (the dashboard
Projects-tree git probe alone fired ~118 spawns in 60s on startup).
The terminal tool, cron, browser, code_execution, and gateway-spawn paths
already carry windows_hide_flags(); these auxiliary probe/scan/launcher legs
were missed. Wire the existing helper into them:
- tui_gateway/git_probe.py: run_git (+ encoding=utf-8/errors=replace, fixes the
cp950 UnicodeDecodeError on CJK paths from the same site)
- agent/coding_context.py: _git (per-turn git status/log/diff)
- agent/context_references.py: _run_git + _rg_files (@file/@ref resolution)
- hermes_cli/copilot_auth.py: gh auth token probe (auxiliary provider:auto)
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: wmic + PowerShell Get-CimInstance PID scan
- hermes_cli/main.py: wmic stale-dashboard PID scan
- gateway/status.py: taskkill /T /F force-kill
windows_hide_flags() returns 0 on POSIX, so every changed call is a no-op on
Linux/macOS (verified: real git/rg probes still work; Windows-simulated calls
all pass creationflags=CREATE_NO_WINDOW).
Scoped to the windowless-backend paths that cause the reported flashing. The
Electron updater-handoff leg (main.cjs windowsHide:false) and the
interactive-CLI banner probes (cli.py) are intentionally NOT touched here —
the former needs a Windows-tested change of its own, the latter runs in a
visible console anyway.

launchd restart can leave the gateway job stopped but still registered after
update-time drain logic, so a direct bootstrap hits exit 5 and falls back to a
detached process. Booting the stale registration out before bootstrap keeps the
launchd-managed restart path intact and locks it with a regression test.
Constraint: Keep upstream-facing conventional commit style while preserving local decision context
Rejected: Treat bootstrap exit 5 as expected | Leaves macOS launchd restart outside launchd supervision after update
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

Not-tested: Manual macOS launchctl restart after hermes update
Folds in PR #42124 (kyssta-exe): systemd_install gained a non_interactive
flag so the 'Remove the legacy unit(s)?' prompt — the second hidden prompt
not guarded by --start-now/--start-on-login — is also skipped in headless
contexts. Updates systemd_install test mocks to accept the new kwarg and
adds coverage for the legacy-unit-skip path.
When running `hermes gateway install` on Linux/systemd, the command
unconditionally prompts with two `prompt_yes_no` questions, breaking
headless installs (SSH, CI, provisioning scripts) and ignoring the
existing --start-now / --start-on-login CLI flags that the Windows
branch already respects.
The fix mirrors the Windows path: read CLI flags first, prompt only
when flags are not provided AND stdin is a TTY, and fall back to True
defaults for non-TTY contexts. The argparse help strings are promoted
from SUPPRESS to visible so users can discover the flags.
Fixes#42065
The /api/pty handler only closed the PtyBridge in the writer loop's finally.
On child EOF the reader task closes the WebSocket, but if the handler task is
cancelled the instant the socket closes, the writer's finally can be skipped
and the PTY fds leak (#54028) — the FD-leak the regression test guards. Under
dashboard auto-reconnect this stacks orphaned PTYs until fds are exhausted.
Reap the bridge in the reader's EOF finally too (close() is idempotent), so
the PTY is reaped independently of the writer-loop cancellation race. Harden
the regression test to poll for teardown instead of asserting on the same
tick. Was flaky on main (2/20); now 25/25.
* fix(dashboard): close PTY WebSocket on child EOF to stop FD leak
The /api/pty handler's reader task returns on child EOF, but the writer
loop stayed blocked on ws.receive() until the browser sent a disconnect.
When the browser socket is half-open (no FIN delivered — common on
macOS/launchd), that disconnect never arrives, so the handler never
reaches its finally and the PTY master fd + child process leak. With
dashboard auto-reconnect (#52962), every dropped socket then spawns a
fresh PTY on top of the orphaned one, exhausting file descriptors within
hours (EMFILE / Errno 24).
Fix: the reader task now closes the WebSocket in a finally when the child
EOFs or the send side breaks, which unblocks ws.receive() so the existing
finally runs bridge.close(). The writer loop also guards ws.receive()
against the RuntimeError Starlette raises once the socket is closed.
Reported by @fifteenzhang.

* docs: add infographic for #54028 PTY FD leak fix
Add two tests for the self-lock guard in _recover_from_interrupted_install:
one asserting it clears the marker and skips install when hermes.exe is a
process ancestor (breaking the #52378/#45542 loop), one asserting it falls
through to a normal recovery install when the shim is NOT an ancestor.
The guard's manual-recovery hint runs only inside the Windows branch, so
quote it for cmd.exe (cd /d, double-quoted paths) — the cross-platform
fallback hint at the end of the function is left POSIX-correct.
Map Icather in scripts/release.py AUTHOR_MAP for the salvage.
When the Desktop forcibly closes its WebSocket mid-write, asyncio logs a
full traceback for every pending connection-lost callback — 50+ identical
WinError 10054 (ConnectionResetError) lines per disconnect on Windows, the
equivalent ConnectionResetError/BrokenPipeError on POSIX. These are not
actionable: they are the expected side effect of the peer hanging up before
our writes drained.
Install a loop exception handler on the gateway serving loop that collapses
exactly this teardown class (ConnectionResetError/ConnectionAbortedError/
BrokenPipeError originating from _call_connection_lost) to a single debug
line, forwarding every other loop error to the existing/default handler
unchanged so genuine loop bugs still surface. Idempotent per loop.
Long-lived helpers spawned indirectly by tool calls (adb, platform
bridges) were left in the service cgroup after the gateway's main
process exited. When the kernel rejected the deferred cgroup-wide kill
with EINVAL, systemd blocked Restart=always for 6+ minutes, taking
down all platforms and cron windows (#37454).
Add a small ExecStopPost helper (gateway.cgroup_cleanup) that walks
cgroup.procs and sends per-PID SIGKILLs — a different kernel code path
than cgroup.kill, so it succeeds where the cgroup-wide write failed.
KillMode=mixed is preserved so the gateway still reaps its own
tool-call children before systemd intervenes (#8202).

When an LLM API call returns HTTP 4xx with an empty parsed SDK `body` ({}),
`_summarize_api_error` fell through to a bare `str(error)`, so users saw only
"HTTP 400" with no provider detail (reported on Windows in #36109). The SDK
leaves `body` empty in this case, but the httpx `response` still carries the
payload in `.text`.
- run_agent.py `_summarize_api_error`: when `body` is empty, fall back to
`response.text` — parse a JSON `error.message`/`message` when present, else
surface the raw (truncated) body. Platform-agnostic diagnostics.
- hermes_cli/oneshot.py: `hermes -z` now runs via `run_conversation` and returns
exit code 2 when the run is failed/partial with no usable final response, so
scripts can detect LLM failures (still 0 when a response — incl. an error
summary as output — is produced).
Tests: new tests/run_agent/test_summarize_api_error.py (empty-body JSON + raw
text, RED/GREEN verified) + oneshot exit-code/`run_conversation` wiring tests.
NOTE: #36109's original root cause (Windows "all providers return empty 400")
is not reproducible on current main (heavy provider-transport churn since
v0.15.1). This change does not claim to fix that root cause — it makes any
empty-body API error LEGIBLE so a future occurrence shows the real provider
message instead of a bare HTTP 400. Relates to #36109 (does not close it).
A custom_providers config that names the model under model.name (or
model.model) resolved to an empty model, so the API request went out
with model= — HTTP 400 from OpenAI-compatible backends. Display paths
(hermes status/dump) already read model.name and showed the model,
making the failure silent.
The model id was read via 'default or model' at ~14 independent sites
(cli, gateway, cron, curator, oneshot, fallback, profiles, ...), none
of which honored 'name'. Rather than patch every site, canonicalize at
the single load/save chokepoint: _normalize_root_model_keys() now
promotes model.model/model.name -> model.default (precedence
default > model > name) and drops the stale alias, so every reader —
present and future — sees a populated default and config.yaml is
migrated canonical on next save. The gateway, which bypasses
load_config(), replays the same normalization in _load_gateway_config().

A restart now interrupts in-flight agents immediately rather than holding
the gateway open for a grace window. The previous 180s default coupled two
independently-set timers: the gateway's own drain timer and systemd's
TimeoutStopSec. On a stale unit where TimeoutStopSec < drain, systemd
SIGKILLed the gateway mid-cleanup, leaving a stale lock that made the next
startup exit immediately ('already running') — an infinite crash loop under
Restart=on-failure (#31981).
Setting drain to 0 makes the mismatch structurally impossible: with drain 0
the generated unit gets TimeoutStopSec=90 against a near-instant drain, so
systemd never kills mid-cleanup. Contract: restart the gateway, in-flight
work stops. A grace window large enough to 'save' a long agent turn would
have to outlast an unbounded task, which is impossible.
Also fixes the stale-unit warning's suggested command
(hermes gateway service install --replace -> hermes gateway install --force);
the former subcommand does not exist.
Closes#31981
The 600s default evicted the gateway clarify entry while users were
still away (meeting/AFK); a later button tap then landed on a dead
entry and the agent hung on 'running: clarify'. Raise the default to
1h in DEFAULT_CONFIG and the get_clarify_timeout() code-level fallback,
documenting the running-agent-guard tradeoff. User overrides still win.
Adds a desktop: section to config.yaml so headless/VM users can make
`hermes desktop` launch correctly without a wrapper command:
- desktop.electron_flags: extra Electron CLI flags (e.g. --ozone-platform=x11)
appended to every launch. Accepts a list or a shell-split string.
- desktop.disable_gpu: auto|true|false, bridged to the HERMES_DESKTOP_DISABLE_GPU
env var the Electron app already reads. An explicit env var still wins.
cmd_gui() reads these via _desktop_launch_options() and applies them. This is
the config.yaml form of the capability proposed as a raw env var in #38934
(@1RB) — behavioral settings belong in config.yaml, not a new HERMES_* env var.
