- New page: user-guide/features/tool-gateway.md covering eligibility,
setup (hermes model, hermes tools, manual config), how use_gateway
works, precedence, switching back, status checking, self-hosted
gateway env vars, and FAQ
- Added to sidebar under Features (top-level, before Core category)
- Cross-references from: overview.md, tools.md, browser.md,
image-generation.md, tts.md, providers.md, environment-variables.md
- Added Nous Tool Gateway subsection to env vars reference with
TOOL_GATEWAY_DOMAIN, TOOL_GATEWAY_SCHEME, TOOL_GATEWAY_USER_TOKEN,
and FIRECRAWL_GATEWAY_URL
Camofox automatically maps each userId to a persistent Firefox profile
on the server side — no CAMOFOX_PROFILE_DIR env var exists. Our docs
incorrectly told users to configure this on the server.
Removed the fabricated env var from:
- browser docs (:::note block)
- config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG comment
- test docstring
Pass platform_env_var="TELEGRAM_PROXY" to resolve_proxy_url() in both
telegram.py (main connect) and telegram_network.py (fallback transport),
so a Telegram-specific proxy takes priority over the generic HTTPS_PROXY.
Also bridge telegram.proxy_url from config.yaml to the TELEGRAM_PROXY
env var (env var takes precedence if both are set), add OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS
entry, docs, and tests.

* feat: implement register_command() on plugin context
Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch
code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called
get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never
implemented.
Changes:
- Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler,
description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts
with built-in commands
- Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager
- Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin
- Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands()
module-level convenience functions
- Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram
bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command')
- Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete
- Show command count in /plugins display
- 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection,
normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection
Closes#10495
* docs: add register_command() to plugin guides
- Build a Plugin guide: new 'Register slash commands' section with
full API reference, comparison table vs register_cli_command(),
sync/async examples, and conflict protection docs
- Features/Plugins page: add slash commands to capabilities table
and plugin types summary
Extract resolve_channel_prompt() shared helper into
gateway/platforms/base.py. Refactor Discord to use it.
Wire channel_prompts into Telegram (groups + forum topics),
Slack (channels), and Mattermost (channels).
Config bridging now applies to all platforms (not just Discord).
Added channel_prompts defaults to telegram/slack/mattermost
config sections.
Docs added to all four platform pages with platform-specific
examples (topic inheritance for Telegram, channel IDs for Slack,
etc.).
Adds --from flag to gmail send and gmail reply commands, allowing agents
to customize the From header display name when sharing the same email
account. Usage: --from '"Agent Name" <user@example.com>'
Also syncs repo google_api.py with the deployed standalone implementation
(replaces outdated gws_bridge thin wrapper), adds dedicated docs page
under Features > Skills, and updates sidebar navigation.
Requested by community user @Maxime44.
- Running in gateway mode: expose port 8642 for the API server and
health endpoint, with a note on when it's needed.
- New 'Running the dashboard' section: docker run command with
GATEWAY_HEALTH_URL and env var reference table.
- Docker Compose example: updated to include both gateway and dashboard
services with internal network connectivity (hermes-net), so the
dashboard probes the gateway via http://hermes:8642.
- Concurrent access warning: clarified that running a read-only
dashboard alongside the gateway is safe.
- Matrix docs: full Proxy Mode section with architecture diagram,
step-by-step setup (host + Docker), docker-compose.yml/Dockerfile
examples, configuration reference, and limitations notes
- API Server docs: add Proxy Mode section explaining the api_server
serves as the backend for gateway proxy mode
- Environment variables reference: add GATEWAY_PROXY_URL and
GATEWAY_PROXY_KEY entries
Add ctx.register_skill() API so plugins can ship SKILL.md files under
a 'plugin:skill' namespace, preventing name collisions with built-in
Hermes skills. skill_view() detects the ':' separator and routes to
the plugin registry while bare names continue through the existing
flat-tree scan unchanged.
Key additions:
- agent/skill_utils: parse_qualified_name(), is_valid_namespace()
- hermes_cli/plugins: PluginContext.register_skill(), PluginManager
skill registry (find/list/remove)
- tools/skills_tool: qualified name dispatch in skill_view(),
_serve_plugin_skill() with full guards (disabled, platform,
injection scan), bundle context banner with sibling listing,
stale registry self-heal
- Hoisted _INJECTION_PATTERNS to module level (dedup)
- Updated skill_view schema description
Based on PR #9334 by N0nb0at. Lean P1 salvage — omits autogen shim
(P2) for a simpler first merge.
Closes#8422
- Rename platform from 'qq' to 'qqbot' across all integration points
(Platform enum, toolset, config keys, import paths, file rename qq.py → qqbot.py)
- Add PLATFORM_HINTS for QQBot in prompt_builder (QQ supports markdown)
- Set SUPPORTS_MESSAGE_EDITING = False to skip streaming on QQ
(prevents duplicate messages from non-editable partial + final sends)
- Add _send_qqbot() standalone send function for cron/send_message tool
- Add interactive _setup_qq() wizard in hermes_cli/setup.py
- Restore missing _setup_signal/email/sms/dingtalk/feishu/wecom/wecom_callback
functions that were lost during the original merge
Add a second light-mode skin option with warm brown/parchment tones,
adapted from ygd58's contribution in PR #4811. Includes completion
menu and status bar color keys for full light-terminal support.

Adds Arcee AI as a standard direct provider (ARCEEAI_API_KEY) with
Trinity models: trinity-large-thinking, trinity-large-preview, trinity-mini.
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py,
models.py, main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py,
model_metadata.py, setup.py, trajectory_compressor.py.
Based on PR #9274 by arthurbr11, simplified to a standard direct
provider without dual-endpoint OpenRouter routing.
Cherry-picked from PR #7637 by hcshen0111.
Adds kimi-coding-cn provider with dedicated KIMI_CN_API_KEY env var
and api.moonshot.cn/v1 endpoint for China-region Moonshot users.
- New docs page: user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md covering
quick start, prerequisites, all three pages (Status, Config, API Keys),
the /reload slash command, REST API endpoints, CORS config, and
development workflow
- Added 'Management' category in sidebar for web-dashboard
- Added 'hermes web' to CLI commands reference with options table
- Added '/reload' to slash commands reference (both CLI and gateway tables)
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
Fixes#7952 — Matrix E2EE completely broken after mautrix migration.
- Replace MemoryCryptoStore + pickle/HMAC persistence with mautrix's
PgCryptoStore backed by SQLite via aiosqlite. Crypto state now
persists reliably across restarts without fragile serialization.
- Add handle_sync() call on initial sync response so to-device events
(queued Megolm key shares) are dispatched to OlmMachine instead of
being silently dropped.
- Add _verify_device_keys_on_server() after loading crypto state.
Detects missing keys (re-uploads), stale keys from migration
(attempts re-upload), and corrupted state (refuses E2EE).
- Add _CryptoStateStore adapter wrapping MemoryStateStore to satisfy
mautrix crypto's StateStore interface (is_encrypted,
get_encryption_info, find_shared_rooms).
- Remove redundant share_keys() call from sync loop — OlmMachine
already handles this via DEVICE_OTK_COUNT event handler.
- Fix datetime vs float TypeError in session.py suspend_recently_active()
that crashed gateway startup.
- Add aiosqlite and asyncpg to [matrix] extra in pyproject.toml.
- Update test mocks for PgCryptoStore/Database and add query_keys mock
for key verification. 174 tests pass.
- Add E2EE upgrade/migration docs to Matrix user guide.
The check_interval parameter on terminal_tool sent periodic output
updates to the gateway chat, but these were display-only — the agent
couldn't see or act on them. This added schema bloat and introduced
a bug where notify_on_complete=True was silently dropped when
check_interval was also set (the not-check_interval guard skipped
fast-watcher registration, and the check_interval watcher dict
was missing the notify_on_complete key).
Removing check_interval entirely:
- Eliminates the notify_on_complete interaction bug
- Reduces tool schema size (one fewer parameter for the model)
- Simplifies the watcher registration path
- notify_on_complete (agent wake-on-completion) still works
- watch_patterns (output alerting) still works
- process(action='poll') covers manual status checking
Closes#7947 (root cause eliminated rather than patched).
Add display.interim_assistant_messages config (enabled by default) that
forwards completed assistant commentary between tool calls to the user
as separate chat messages. Models already emit useful status text like
'I'll inspect the repo first.' — this surfaces it on Telegram, Discord,
and other messaging platforms instead of swallowing it.
Independent from tool_progress and gateway streaming. Disabled for
webhooks. Uses GatewayStreamConsumer when available, falls back to
direct adapter send. Tracks response_previewed to prevent double-delivery
when interim message matches the final response.
Also fixes: cursor not stripped from fallback prefix in stream consumer
(affected continuation calculation on no-edit platforms like Signal).
Cherry-picked from PR #7885 by asheriif, default changed to enabled.
Fixes#5016
- Fix auto list (was only gpt, actually includes codex/gemini/gemma/grok)
- Document the three guidance layers (general, OpenAI-specific, Google-specific)
- Add 'When to turn it on' section for users on non-default models
- Clarify that substring matching is case-insensitive
Add the missing 'Adding a Platform Adapter' developer guide — a
comprehensive step-by-step checklist covering all 20+ integration
points (enum, adapter, config, runner, CLI, tools, toolsets, cron,
webhooks, tests, and docs). Includes common patterns for long-poll,
callback/webhook, and token-lock adapters with reference implementations.
Also adds full docs coverage for the WeCom Callback platform:
- New docs page: user-guide/messaging/wecom-callback.md
- Environment variables reference (9 WECOM_CALLBACK_* vars)
- Toolsets reference (hermes-wecom-callback)
- Messaging index (comparison table, architecture diagram, toolsets,
security, next-steps links)
- Integrations index listing
- Sidebar entries for both new pages
Wire Signal, Email, SMS (Twilio), DingTalk, Feishu/Lark, and WeCom into
the hermes setup gateway interactive wizard. These platforms all had
working adapters and _PLATFORMS entries in gateway.py but were invisible
in the setup checklist — users had to manually edit .env to configure them.
Changes:
- gateway.py: Add _setup_email/sms/dingtalk/feishu/wecom functions
delegating to _setup_standard_platform (Signal already had a custom one)
- setup.py: Add wrapper functions for all 6 new platforms
- setup.py: Add all 6 to _GATEWAY_PLATFORMS checklist registry
- setup.py: Add missing env vars to any_messaging check
- setup.py: Add all missing platforms to _get_section_config_summary
(was also missing Matrix, Mattermost, Weixin, Webhooks)
- docs: Add FEISHU_ALLOWED_USERS and WECOM_ALLOWED_USERS examples
Incorporates and extends the work from PR #7918 by bugmaker2.
The Weixin adapter was splitting responses at every top-level newline,
causing notification spam (up to 70 API calls for a single long markdown
response). This salvages the best aspects of six contributor PRs:
Compact mode (new default):
- Messages under the 4000-char limit stay as a single bubble even with
multiple lines, paragraphs, and code blocks
- Only oversized messages get split at logical markdown boundaries
- Inter-chunk delay (0.3s) between chunks prevents WeChat rate-limit drops
Legacy mode (opt-in):
- Set split_multiline_messages: true in platforms.weixin.extra config
- Or set WEIXIN_SPLIT_MULTILINE_MESSAGES=true env var
- Restores the old per-line splitting behavior
Salvaged from PRs #7797 (guantoubaozi), #7792 (luoxiao6645),
#7838 (qyx596), #7825 (weedge), #7784 (sherunlock03), #7773 (JnyRoad).
Core fix unanimous across all six; config toggle from #7838; inter-chunk
delay from #7825.
The summary model used for context compaction must have a context window
at least as large as the main agent model. If it's smaller, the
summarization API call fails and middle turns are dropped without a
summary, silently losing conversation context.
Promoted the existing note in configuration.md to a visible warning
admonition, and added a matching warning in the developer guide's
context compression page.
Matrix gateway: fix sync loop never dispatching events (#5819)
- _sync_loop() called client.sync() but never called handle_sync()
to dispatch events to registered callbacks — _on_room_message was
registered but never fired for new messages
- Store next_batch token from initial sync and pass as since= to
subsequent incremental syncs (was doing full initial sync every time)
- 17 comments, confirmed by multiple users on matrix.org
Feishu docs: add interactive card configuration for approvals (#6893)
- Error 200340 is a Feishu Developer Console configuration issue,
not a code bug — users need to enable Interactive Card capability
and configure Card Request URL
- Added required 3-step setup instructions to feishu.md
- Added troubleshooting entry for error 200340
- 17 comments from Feishu users
Copilot provider drift: detect GPT-5.x Responses API requirement (#3388)
- GPT-5.x models are rejected on /v1/chat/completions by both OpenAI
and OpenRouter (unsupported_api_for_model error)
- Added _model_requires_responses_api() to detect models needing
Responses API regardless of provider
- Applied in __init__ (covers OpenRouter primary users) and in
_try_activate_fallback() (covers Copilot->OpenRouter drift)
- Fixed stale comment claiming gateway creates fresh agents per message
(it caches them via _agent_cache since the caching was added)
- 7 comments, reported on Copilot+Telegram gateway
Add is_network_accessible() helper using Python's ipaddress module to
robustly classify bind addresses (IPv4/IPv6 loopback, wildcards,
mapped addresses, hostname resolution with DNS-failure-fails-closed).
The API server connect() now refuses to start when the bind address is
network-accessible and no API_SERVER_KEY is set, preventing RCE from
other machines on the network.
