The dashboard device-code flow (_nous_poller in web_server.py) saved
credentials to the credential pool only, while get_nous_auth_status()
only checked the auth store (auth.json). This caused the Keys tab to
show 'not connected' even when the backend was fully authenticated.
Two fixes:
1. get_nous_auth_status() now checks the credential pool first (like
get_codex_auth_status() already does), then falls back to the auth
store.
2. _nous_poller now also persists to the auth store after saving to
the credential pool, matching the CLI flow (_login_nous).
Adds 3 tests covering pool-only, auth-store-fallback, and empty-state
scenarios.
Three separate hardcoded provider lists (/model, /provider, hermes model)
diverged over time, causing providers to be missing from some commands.
- Create CANONICAL_PROVIDERS in hermes_cli/models.py as the single source
of truth for all provider identity, labels, and TUI ordering
- Derive _PROVIDER_LABELS and list_available_providers() from canonical list
- Add step 2b in list_authenticated_providers() to cross-check canonical
list — catches providers with credentials that weren't found via
PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV or HERMES_OVERLAYS mappings
- Derive hermes model TUI provider menus from canonical list
- Add deepseek and xai as first-class providers (were missing from TUI)
- Add grok/x-ai/x.ai aliases for xai provider
Fixes: /model command not showing all providers that hermes model shows
The everywhere release — Hermes goes mobile with Termux/Android, adds

Adds kimi-coding-cn provider with dedicated KIMI_CN_API_KEY env var
and api.moonshot.cn/v1 endpoint for China-region Moonshot users.
- Wrap module-level import from agent.anthropic_adapter in try/except
so hermes web still starts if the adapter is unavailable; Phase 2
PKCE endpoints return 501 in that case.
- Change authorize URL from console.anthropic.com to claude.ai to
match the canonical adapter code.
Add OAuth provider management to the Hermes dashboard with full
lifecycle support for Anthropic (PKCE), Nous and OpenAI Codex
(device-code) flows.
## Backend (hermes_cli/web_server.py)
- 6 new API endpoints:
GET /api/providers/oauth — list providers with connection status
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/start — initiate PKCE or device-code
POST /api/providers/oauth/{id}/submit — exchange PKCE auth code
GET /api/providers/oauth/{id}/poll/{session} — poll device-code
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/{id} — disconnect provider
DELETE /api/providers/oauth/sessions/{id} — cancel pending session
- OAuth constants imported from anthropic_adapter (no duplication)
- Blocking I/O wrapped in run_in_executor for async safety
- In-memory session store with 15-minute TTL and automatic GC
- Auth token required on all mutating endpoints
## Frontend
- OAuthLoginModal — PKCE (paste auth code) and device-code (poll) flows
- OAuthProvidersCard — status, token preview, connect/disconnect actions
- Toast fix: createPortal to document.body for correct z-index
- App.tsx: skip animation key bump on initial mount (prevent double-mount)
- Integrated into the Env/Keys page
The v11→v12 migration converts custom_providers (list) into providers
(dict), then deletes the list. But all runtime resolvers read from
custom_providers — after migration, named custom endpoints silently stop
resolving and fallback chains fail with AuthError.
Add get_compatible_custom_providers() that reads from both config schemas
(legacy custom_providers list + v12+ providers dict), normalizes entries,
deduplicates, and returns a unified list. Update ALL consumers:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: _get_named_custom_provider() + key_env
- hermes_cli/auth_commands.py: credential pool provider names
- hermes_cli/main.py: model picker + _model_flow_named_custom()
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: key_env + custom_entry model fallback
- agent/credential_pool.py: _iter_custom_providers()
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: /model switch custom_providers passthrough
- run_agent.py + gateway/run.py: per-model context_length lookup
Also: use config.pop() instead of del for safer migration, fix stale
_config_version assertions in tests, add pool mock to codex test.

Closes#8776, salvaged from PR #8814
The cherry-picked code passed the env var NAME (e.g. 'MY_API_KEY') as the
api_key value. The caller's has_usable_secret() check would reject the
var name, so the actual key was never used. Now we os.getenv() the
key_env value to get the real API key before returning it.
Two fixes for user-defined providers in config.yaml:
1. list_authenticated_providers() - now includes full models list from
providers.*.models array, not just default_model. This fixes /model
showing only one model when multiple are configured.
2. _get_named_custom_provider() - now checks providers: dict (new-style)
in addition to custom_providers: list (legacy). This fixes credential
resolution errors when switching models via /model command.
Both changes are backwards compatible with existing custom_providers list format.
Fixes: Only one model appears for custom providers in /model selection
These functions were duplicated between auth.py and copilot_auth.py.
The auth.py copies had zero production callers — only copilot_auth.py's
versions are used. Redirect the test import to the live copy and update
monkeypatch targets accordingly.
When GITHUB_TOKEN is present in the environment (e.g. for gh CLI or
GitHub Actions), two issues broke Copilot authentication against
GitHub Enterprise (GHE) instances:
1. The copilot provider had no base_url_env_var, so COPILOT_API_BASE_URL
was silently ignored — requests always went to public GitHub.
2. `gh auth token` (the CLI fallback) treats GITHUB_TOKEN as an override
and echoes it back instead of reading from its credential store
(hosts.yml). This caused the same rejected token to be used even
after env var priority correctly skipped it.
Fix:
- Add base_url_env_var="COPILOT_API_BASE_URL" to copilot ProviderConfig
- Strip GITHUB_TOKEN/GH_TOKEN from the subprocess env when calling
`gh auth token` so it reads from hosts.yml
- Pass --hostname from COPILOT_GH_HOST when set so gh returns the
GHE-specific OAuth token
Remove the backward-compat code paths that read compression provider/model
settings from legacy config keys and env vars, which caused silent failures
when auto-detection resolved to incompatible backends.
What changed:
- Remove compression.summary_model, summary_provider, summary_base_url from
DEFAULT_CONFIG and cli.py defaults
- Remove backward-compat block in _resolve_task_provider_model() that read
from the legacy compression section
- Remove _get_auxiliary_provider() and _get_auxiliary_env_override() helper
functions (AUXILIARY_*/CONTEXT_* env var readers)
- Remove env var fallback chain for per-task overrides
- Update hermes config show to read from auxiliary.compression
- Add config migration (v16→17) that moves non-empty legacy values to
auxiliary.compression and strips the old keys
- Update example config and openclaw migration script
- Remove/update tests for deleted code paths
Compression model/provider is now configured exclusively via:
auxiliary.compression.provider / auxiliary.compression.model
Closes#8923
Three changes consolidated into the existing backup system:
1. Fix: hermes backup now uses sqlite3.Connection.backup() for .db files
instead of raw file copy. Raw copy of a WAL-mode database can produce
a corrupted backup — the backup() API handles this correctly.
2. hermes backup --quick: fast snapshot of just critical state files
(config.yaml, state.db, .env, auth.json, cron/jobs.json, etc.)
stored in ~/.hermes/state-snapshots/. Auto-prunes to 20 snapshots.
3. /snapshot slash command (alias /snap): in-session interface for
quick state snapshots. create/list/restore/prune subcommands.
Restore by ID or number. Powered by the same backup module.
No new modules — everything lives in hermes_cli/backup.py alongside
the existing full backup/import code.
No hooks in run_agent.py — purely on-demand, zero runtime overhead.
Closes the use case from PRs #8406 and #7813 with ~200 lines of new
logic instead of a 1090-line content-addressed storage engine.
- Move test file to tests/hermes_cli/ (consistent with test layout)
- Remove unused imports (os, pytest) from test file
- Update _sanitize_env_lines docstring: now used on read + write paths
When .env files become corrupted (e.g. concatenated KEY=VALUE pairs on
a single line due to concurrent writes or encoding issues), both
python-dotenv and load_env() would parse the entire concatenated string
as a single value. This caused bot tokens to appear duplicated up to 8×,
triggering InvalidToken errors from the Telegram API.
Root cause: _sanitize_env_lines() — which correctly splits concatenated
lines — was only called during save_env_value() writes, not during reads.
Fix:
- load_env() now calls _sanitize_env_lines() before parsing
- env_loader.load_hermes_dotenv() sanitizes the .env file on disk
before python-dotenv reads it, so os.getenv() also returns clean values
- Added tests reproducing the exact corruption pattern from #8908Closes#8908
The startup warning that Nous Research Hermes 3 & 4 models are not agentic
fired on any model whose name contained "hermes" anywhere, via a plain
substring check. That false-positived on unrelated local Modelfiles such
as `hermes-brain:qwen3-14b-ctx16k` — a tool-capable Qwen3 wrapper that
happens to live under a custom "hermes" tag namespace — making the warning
noise for legitimate setups.
Replace the substring check with a narrow regex anchored on `^`, `/`, or
`:` boundaries that only matches the real Hermes-3 / Hermes-4 chat family
(e.g. `NousResearch/Hermes-3-Llama-3.1-70B`, `hermes-4-405b`,
`openrouter/hermes3:70b`). Consolidate into a single helper
`is_nous_hermes_non_agentic()` in `hermes_cli.model_switch` so the CLI
and the canonical check don't drift, and route the duplicate inline site
in `cli.HermesCLI._print_warnings()` through the helper.
Add a parametrized test covering positive matches (real Hermes-3/-4
names) and a broad set of negatives (custom Modelfiles, Qwen/Claude/GPT,
older Nous-Hermes-2 families, bare "hermes", empty string, and the
"brain-hermes-3-impostor" boundary case).
_remap_path_for_user was calling .resolve() on the Python path, which
followed venv/bin/python into the base interpreter. On uv-managed venvs
this swaps the systemd ExecStart to a bare Python that has none of the
venv's site-packages, so the service crashes on first import. Classical
python -m venv installs were unaffected by accident: the resolved target
/usr/bin/python3.x lives outside $HOME so the path-remap branch was
skipped and the system Python's packages silently worked.
Remove .resolve() calls on both current_home and the path; use
.expanduser() for lexical tilde expansion only. The function does
lexical prefix substitution, which is all it needs to do for its
actual purpose (remapping /root/.hermes -> /home/<user>/.hermes when
installing system services as root for a different user).
Repro: on a uv-managed venv install, `sudo hermes gateway install
--system` writes ExecStart=.../uv/python/cpython-3.11.15-.../bin/python3.11
instead of .../hermes-agent/venv/bin/python, and the service crashes on
ModuleNotFoundError: yaml.

* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset

OpenCode Zen was in _DOT_TO_HYPHEN_PROVIDERS, causing all dotted model
names (minimax-m2.5-free, gpt-5.4, glm-5.1) to be mangled. The fix:
Layer 1 (model_normalize.py): Remove opencode-zen from the blanket
dot-to-hyphen set. Add an explicit block that preserves dots for
non-Claude models while keeping Claude hyphenated (Zen's Claude
endpoint uses anthropic_messages mode which expects hyphens).
Layer 2 (run_agent.py _anthropic_preserve_dots): Add opencode-zen and
zai to the provider allowlist. Broaden URL check from opencode.ai/zen/go
to opencode.ai/zen/ to cover both Go and Zen endpoints. Add bigmodel.cn
for ZAI URL detection.
Also adds glm-5.1 to ZAI model lists in models.py and setup.py.

Adds /debug as a slash command available in CLI, Telegram, Discord,
Slack, and all other gateway platforms. Uploads debug report + full
logs to paste services and returns shareable URLs.
- commands.py: CommandDef in Info category (no cli_only/gateway_only)
- gateway/run.py: async handler with run_in_executor for blocking I/O
- cli.py: dispatch in process_command to run_debug_share
* feat: add `hermes debug share` — upload debug report to pastebin
Adds a new `hermes debug share` command that collects system info
(via hermes dump), recent logs (agent.log, errors.log, gateway.log),
and uploads the combined report to a paste service (paste.rs primary,
dpaste.com fallback). Returns a shareable URL for support.
Options:
--lines N Number of log lines per file (default: 200)
--expire N Paste expiry in days (default: 7, dpaste.com only)
--local Print report locally without uploading
Files:
hermes_cli/debug.py - New module: paste upload + report collection
hermes_cli/main.py - Wire cmd_debug + argparse subparser
tests/hermes_cli/test_debug.py - 19 tests covering upload, collection, CLI
* feat: upload full agent.log and gateway.log as separate pastes
hermes debug share now uploads up to 3 pastes:
1. Summary report (system info + log tails) — always
2. Full agent.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
3. Full gateway.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
Each paste uploads independently; log upload failures are noted
but don't block the main report. Output shows all links aligned:
Report https://paste.rs/abc
agent.log https://paste.rs/def
gateway.log https://paste.rs/ghi
Also adds _read_full_log() with size-capped tail reading to stay
within paste service limits (~512KB per file).
* feat: prepend hermes dump to each log paste for self-contained context
Each paste (agent.log, gateway.log) now starts with the hermes dump
output so clicking any single link gives full system context without
needing to cross-reference the summary report.
Refactored dump capture into _capture_dump() — called once and
reused across the summary report and each log paste.
* fix: fall back to .1 rotated log when primary log is missing or empty
When gateway.log (or agent.log) doesn't exist or is empty, the debug
share now checks for the .1 rotation file. This is common — the
gateway rotates logs and the primary file may not exist yet.
Extracted _resolve_log_path() to centralize the fallback logic for
both _read_log_tail() and _read_full_log().
* chore: remove unused display_hermes_home import
Users who set up Nous auth without explicitly selecting a model via
`hermes model` were silently falling back to anthropic/claude-opus-4.6
(the first entry in _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']), causing unexpected
charges on their Nous plan. Move xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro to the first
position so unconfigured users default to a free model instead.
Combines detection from both PRs into _detect_openclaw_processes():
- Cross-platform process scan (pgrep/tasklist/PowerShell) from PR #8102
- systemd service check from PR #8555
- Returns list[str] with details about what's found
Fixes in cleanup warning (from PR #8555):
- print_warning -> print_error/print_info (print_warning not in import chain)
- Added isatty() guard for non-interactive sessions
- Removed duplicate _check_openclaw_running() in favor of shared function
Updated all tests to match new API.
- Use PowerShell to inspect node.exe command lines on Windows,
since tasklist output does not include them.
- Also check for dedicated openclaw.exe/clawd.exe processes.
- Skip the interactive prompt in non-interactive sessions so the
preview-only behavior is preserved.
- Update tests accordingly.
Relates to #7907
Add _is_openclaw_running() and _warn_if_openclaw_running() to detect
OpenClaw processes (via pgrep/tasklist) before hermes claw migrate.
Warns the user that messaging platforms only allow one active session
per bot token, and lets them cancel or continue.
Fixes#7907
Skills.sh installs hit the GitHub API 45 times per install because the
same repo tree was fetched 6 times redundantly. Combined with search
(23 API calls), this totals 68 — exceeding the unauthenticated rate
limit of 60 req/hr, causing 'Could not fetch' errors for users without
a GITHUB_TOKEN.
Changes:
- Add _get_repo_tree() cache to GitHubSource — repo info + recursive
tree fetched once per repo per source instance, eliminating 10
redundant API calls (6 tree + 4 candidate 404s)
- _download_directory_via_tree returns {} (not None) when cached tree
shows path doesn't exist, skipping unnecessary Contents API fallback
- _check_rate_limit_response() detects exhausted quota and sets
is_rate_limited flag
- do_install() shows actionable hint when rate limited: set
GITHUB_TOKEN or install gh CLI
Before: 45 API calls per install (68 total with search)
After: 31 API calls per install (54 total with search — under 60/hr)
Reported by community user from Vietnam (no GitHub auth configured).
Centralize container detection in hermes_constants.is_container() with
process-lifetime caching, matching existing is_wsl()/is_termux() patterns.
Dedup _is_inside_container() in config.py to delegate to the new function.
Add _run_systemctl() wrapper that converts FileNotFoundError to RuntimeError
for defense-in-depth — all 10 bare subprocess.run(_systemctl_cmd(...)) call
sites now route through it.
Make supports_systemd_services() return False in containers and when
systemctl binary is absent (shutil.which check).
Add Docker-specific guidance in gateway_command() for install/uninstall/start
subcommands — exit 0 with helpful instructions instead of crashing.
Make 'hermes status' show 'Manager: docker (foreground)' and 'hermes dump'
show 'running (docker, pid N)' inside containers.
Fix setup_gateway() to use supports_systemd instead of _is_linux for all
systemd-related branches, and show Docker restart policy instructions in
containers.
Replace inline /.dockerenv check in voice_mode.py with is_container().

The backup validation checked for 'hermes_state.db' and 'memory_store.db'
as telltale markers of a valid Hermes backup zip. Neither name exists in a
real Hermes installation — the actual database file is 'state.db'
(hermes_state.py: DEFAULT_DB_PATH = get_hermes_home() / 'state.db').
A fresh Hermes installation produces:
~/.hermes/state.db (actual name)
~/.hermes/config.yaml
~/.hermes/.env
Because the marker set never matched 'state.db', a backup zip containing
only 'state.db' plus 'config.yaml' would fail validation with:
'zip does not appear to be a Hermes backup'
and the import would exit with sys.exit(1), silently rejecting a valid backup.
Fix: replace the wrong marker names with the correct filename.
Adds TestValidateBackupZip with three cases:
- state.db is accepted as a valid marker
- old wrong names (hermes_state.db, memory_store.db) alone are rejected
- config.yaml continues to pass (existing behaviour preserved)
Add agent.gateway_notify_interval config option (default 600s).
Set to 0 to disable periodic 'still working' notifications.
Bridged to HERMES_AGENT_NOTIFY_INTERVAL env var (same pattern as
gateway_timeout and gateway_timeout_warning).
The inactivity warning (gateway_timeout_warning) was already
configurable; this makes the wall-clock ping configurable too.
- Remove duplicate _setup_feishu() definition (old 3-line version left
behind by cherry-pick — Python picked the new one but dead code
remained)
- Remove misleading 'Disable direct messages' DM option — the Feishu
adapter has no DM policy mechanism, so 'disable' produced identical
env vars to 'pairing'. Users who chose 'disable' would still see
pairing prompts. Reduced to 3 options: pairing, allow-all, allowlist.
- Fix test_probe_returns_bot_info_on_success and
test_probe_returns_none_on_failure: patch FEISHU_AVAILABLE=True so
probe_bot() takes the SDK path when lark_oapi is not installed
Fresh profiles (created without --clone) now:
- Auto-seed a default SOUL.md immediately, so users have a file to
customize right away instead of discovering it only after first use
- Print a clear warning that the profile has no API keys and will
inherit from the shell environment unless configured separately
- Show the SOUL.md path for personality customization
Previously, fresh profiles started with no SOUL.md (only seeded on
first use via ensure_hermes_home), no mention of credential isolation,
and no guidance about customizing personality. Users reported confusion
about profiles using the wrong model/plan tokens and SOUL.md not
being read — both traced to operational gaps in the creation UX.
Closes#8093 (investigated: code correctly loads SOUL.md from profile
HERMES_HOME; issue was operational, not a code bug).
When a user configures a provider (e.g. `hermes auth add openai-codex`)
but never selects a model via `hermes model`, the gateway and CLI would
pass an empty model string to the API, causing:
'Codex Responses request model must be a non-empty string'
Now both gateway (_resolve_session_agent_runtime) and CLI
(_ensure_runtime_credentials) detect an empty model and fill it from
the provider's first catalog entry in _PROVIDER_MODELS. This covers
all providers that have a static model list (openai-codex, anthropic,
gemini, copilot, etc.).
The fix is conservative: it only triggers when model is truly empty
and a known provider was resolved. Explicit model choices are never
overridden.
When /update runs via Telegram, hermes update --gateway is spawned inside
the gateway's systemd cgroup. The update process itself calls
systemctl restart hermes-gateway, which tears down the cgroup with
KillMode=mixed — SIGKILL to all remaining processes. The wrapping bash
shell is killed before it can execute the exit-code epilogue, so
.update_exit_code is never created. The new gateway's update watcher
then polls for 30 minutes and sends a spurious timeout message.
Fix: write .update_exit_code from Python inside cmd_update() immediately
after the git pull + pip install succeed ("Update complete!"), before
attempting the gateway restart. The shell epilogue still writes it too
(idempotent overwrite), but now the marker exists even when the process
is killed mid-restart.
Follow-up for cherry-picked PR #8272:
- Add MATRIX_RECOVERY_KEY to module docstring header in matrix.py
- Register in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS (config.py) with password=True, advanced=True
- Add to _NON_SETUP_ENV_VARS set
- Document cross-signing verification in matrix.md E2EE section
- Update migration guide with recovery key step (step 3)
- Add to environment-variables.md reference
OpenAI OAuth refresh tokens are single-use and rotate on every refresh.
When Hermes refreshes a Codex token, it consumed the old refresh_token
but never wrote the new pair back to ~/.codex/auth.json. This caused
Codex CLI and VS Code to fail with 'refresh_token_reused' on their
next refresh attempt.
This mirrors the existing Anthropic write-back pattern where refreshed
tokens are written to ~/.claude/.credentials.json via
_write_claude_code_credentials().
Changes:
- Add _write_codex_cli_tokens() in hermes_cli/auth.py (parallel to
_write_claude_code_credentials in anthropic_adapter.py)
- Call it from _refresh_codex_auth_tokens() (non-pool refresh path)
- Call it from credential_pool._refresh_entry() (pool happy path + retry)
- Add tests for the new write-back behavior
- Update existing test docstring to clarify _save_codex_tokens vs
_write_codex_cli_tokens separation
Fixes refresh token conflict reported by @ec12edfae2cb221
Reject non-URL values (e.g. shell commands typed by mistake) in the
base URL prompt during provider setup. Previously any string was saved
as-is to .env, breaking connectivity when the garbage value was used
as the API endpoint.
Adds http:// / https:// prefix check with a clear error message.
The custom-endpoint flow already had this validation (line 1620);
this brings the generic API-key provider flow to parity.
Triggered by a user support case where 'nano ~/.hermes/.env' was
accidentally entered as GLM_BASE_URL during Z.AI setup.
- Add openai/openai-codex -> openai mapping to PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV
so context-length lookups use models.dev data instead of 128k fallback.
Fixes#8161.
- Set api_mode from custom_providers entry when switching via hermes model,
and clear stale api_mode when the entry has none. Also extract api_mode
in _named_custom_provider_map(). Fixes#8181.
- Convert OpenAI image_url content blocks to Anthropic image blocks when
the endpoint is Anthropic-compatible (MiniMax, MiniMax-CN, or any URL
containing /anthropic). Fixes#8147.
Add a 'tip of the day' feature that displays a random one-liner about
Hermes Agent features on every new session — CLI startup, /clear, /new,
and gateway /new across all messaging platforms.
- New hermes_cli/tips.py module with 210 curated tips covering slash
commands, keybindings, CLI flags, config options, tools, gateway
platforms, profiles, sessions, memory, skills, cron, voice, security,
and more
- CLI: tips display in skin-aware dim gold color after the welcome line
- Gateway: tips append to the /new and /reset response on all platforms
- Fully wrapped in try/except — tips are non-critical and never break
startup or reset
