Replace the exact-filename frozenset with _is_sensitive_filename()
that matches .env plus any .env.<suffix> variant. This covers
shorthand suffixes like .env.prod that the previous enumeration
missed.
Add test_sensitive_env_suffix_variants_blocked regression test
covering .env.prod, .env.dev, .env.staging.local, and .env.ci.
Addresses review feedback from egilewski on PR #57507.
The dashboard Files tab could list, read, and download .env files
containing API keys when running with a bind-mounted Hermes home
directory (e.g. docker run -v ~/.hermes:/opt/data).
Add _SENSITIVE_FILENAMES frozenset and filter these from
list_managed_files(), read_managed_file(), and download_managed_file().
Return 403 for direct read/download attempts on sensitive files.
Fixes#57505
Root-causes the July 2026 Windows incident chain (locked _brotlicffi.pyd /
_sodium.pyd during install, then 'No module named annotated_doc' with
'hermes update' insisting 'Already up to date!'):
- hermes update: probe venv core imports even when the checkout is current;
a half-updated venv (dep sync killed mid-flight by a locked .pyd) is now
detected and repaired instead of being reported as up to date
- hermes update (Windows): after pausing gateways, refuse to mutate the venv
while other processes run from the venv interpreter (the Desktop backend
runs as python.exe so the hermes.exe shim guard never saw it); --force
keeps the old behavior
- install.ps1 venv stage: disarm gateway autostart Scheduled Tasks before
the kill sweep (they respawn the gateway inside the kill->delete window),
make the sweep a bounded loop requiring 3 clean passes, and rename-then-
delete the old venv (a rename succeeds even with mapped DLLs) with stale-
dir cleanup on the next run
- desktop updater: 'venv shim still locked after 15s' now ABORTS the update
hand-off (restarting our backend, surfacing the holder to the user)
instead of 'proceeding anyway (force)' into guaranteed venv corruption;
the unlock wait also re-kills respawned backends each poll tick
* feat(desktop): CLI/dashboard parity — skills hub browser, MCP test/toggle/catalog, maintenance ops, log filters
Brings desktop GUI to parity with hermes skills/mcp/doctor/backup/debug-share/
curator/memory CLI commands and the dashboard's System + Skills-hub pages:
- Skills page: new Browse Hub tab (search official/GitHub/community sources,
preview SKILL.md, security scan verdicts, install/update with live action log)
- MCP settings: connection test (tool listing), per-server enable/disable
toggle, and a Catalog tab installing Nous-approved MCP servers with env prompts
- Command Center: new Maintenance section (doctor, security audit, backup,
debug share links, curator status/pause/run, memory file status + reset)
- Command Center system logs: file (agent/errors/gateway/desktop), level, and
substring filters instead of a fixed agent.log tail
- hermes.ts API client + types for all the above; en/zh locale strings (ja and
zh-hant inherit via defineLocale)
* feat(desktop): backend model catalogs in toolset config — hermes tools parity
Completes the `hermes tools` parity gap: after picking an image/video
generation backend the CLI runs a model picker (e.g. FAL's multi-model
catalog with speed/strengths/price); the desktop toolset drawer now has the
same flow as a radio-card list.
- web_server: GET /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/models (catalog + current +
default for the active or named provider row) and PUT .../model
(validated write to image_gen.model / video_gen.model), reusing the CLI's
plugin catalog helpers so GUI and `hermes tools` stay in lockstep
- desktop: ModelCatalogPicker in ToolsetConfigPanel — per-model cards with
speed/strengths/price, in-use + default badges, disabled until the
backend is the active one; provider selection now mirrors is_active
locally so the catalog unlocks without a refetch
- tests: 3 backend endpoint tests (catalog shape invariants, persist +
validation), 2 component tests, 2 API-contract tests; en/zh strings
OpenCode Go serves minimax/qwen via Anthropic Messages (base URL without
/v1 — the SDK appends /v1/messages) and glm/kimi/deepseek/mimo via OpenAI
chat completions (base URL WITH /v1). The runtime stripped /v1 for
anthropic-routed models, and the TUI/desktop + gateway persisted that
stripped URL to model.base_url. Every later chat_completions model then
POSTed to https://opencode.ai/zen/go/chat/completions — a 404 (the
marketing site). Result: only minimax worked; glm/deepseek/kimi all 404ed.
- New normalize_opencode_base_url(): symmetric /v1 normalization —
strip for anthropic_messages, re-append for chat_completions /
codex_responses on opencode.ai hosts (heals persisted stripped URLs;
custom proxy overrides untouched)
- Applied at all three former one-way strip sites (resolve_runtime_provider
x2, switch_model)
- opencode_model_api_mode: all Qwen models on Go AND Zen now route via
/v1/messages per current published endpoint tables (previously only
qwen3.7-max on Go — qwen3.6-plus etc. would 404 the same way)
- Catalog refresh: Go gains deepseek-v4-pro/flash, glm-5.2,
kimi-k2.7-code, minimax-m3, qwen3.7-plus; Zen gains glm-5.2,
kimi-k2.7-code, minimax-m3, qwen3.7-plus
Reported by IndieSuperhuman on X: opencode-go 404s for any model other
than minimax.
A single-model Hermes agent never sends temperature; the provider default
applies. MoA hardcoded reference_temperature=0.6 / aggregator_temperature=0.4,
and the coercion float(preset.get(key, 0.6) or 0.6) made unset IMPOSSIBLE to
express: absent, null, empty, and even an explicit 0 all collapsed to the
baked-in default. Every MoA advisor and aggregator therefore ran at 0.6/0.4
while the same model running solo used the provider default — silently
skewing solo-vs-MoA comparisons and overriding provider-tuned defaults.
- moa_config normalization: temperatures coerce to None when absent/blank/
invalid (new _coerce_float_or_none); explicit values incl. 0 honored.
- moa_loop: _preset_temperature() resolves preset values; None flows to
call_llm, which already omits the parameter when None (same contract as
max_tokens). Aggregator still inherits the acting agent's own configured
temperature when the preset doesn't pin one.
- conversation_loop (context-mode MoA): same resolution, no more hardcoded
0.6/0.4 at the call site.
- DEFAULT_CONFIG preset + web_server payload models + docs updated: unset
is the default, pinning stays available.
hermes debug share reads os.getenv — the invoking terminal's environment — but
launchd/systemd and the desktop-spawned `serve` backend load credentials from
~/.hermes/.env, not the login shell. A key exported in the shell but absent
from .env is invisible to the backend, yet the dump printed a bare "set",
sending support down a phantom "the key is configured" path.
This was the actual trap behind a "Desktop has no web_search / no tools"
report: FIRECRAWL_API_KEY was a shell export (so `debug share` in a terminal
read "firecrawl set") but not in .env, so the launchd backend's
check_web_api_key returned False and web_search was gated off — which a
contributor then misdiagnosed as a missing `desktop` platform registration.
The dump now annotates any key set in-process but missing from ~/.hermes/.env
with "(shell only — not in .env; managed/desktop backend may not see it)" so
the mismatch is obvious instead of hidden behind "set".
Follow-up to @helix4u's #57336 salvage. Two review findings:
- W1: model-picker grouped custom-provider rows by
(api_url, credential, api_mode) but NOT extra_headers. Entries sharing a
URL+credential+api_mode yet declaring different headers (e.g. per-tenant
routing behind one proxy) collapsed into one row and probed /models with
whichever header set was seen first (order-dependent). Fold a canonical
header identity into group_key so distinct header-authed endpoints stay
separate; drops the now-dead first-non-empty merge branch.
- W2: the extra_headers stringify+None-filter comprehension existed in 5
copies (config.py x2, runtime_provider.py, model_switch.py, models.py).
Extract one shared hermes_cli.config.normalize_extra_headers primitive;
all sites now call it.
Tests: +normalize_extra_headers unit tests, +regression test proving two
same-endpoint entries with different headers stay distinct and each probes
with its own headers. 223 targeted tests pass; ruff clean.
delete_profile stopped only the process named in gateway.pid, but a Desktop
app spawns a headless `serve`/`dashboard` backend per profile that holds the
profile's SQLite connection open and keeps writing sessions/WAL/sandbox files.
That backend is never in gateway.pid, so a CLI `hermes profile delete` run
while the Desktop app is up left it writing into the tree — rmtree's final
rmdir then failed with ENOTEMPTY (#47368 "Bug 2"), and pre-guard it also
resurrected the directory.
- _profile_bound_backend_pids(): find running Hermes backends bound to this
profile via a `--profile <name>` selector or a HERMES_HOME env resolving to
the profile dir. Tightly scoped — current-user only, backend subcommands
(serve/dashboard/gateway) only so an interactive chat is never killed, and
never this process or its ancestors.
- _stop_profile_backends(): terminate them (graceful, then force), best-effort
so it can never make delete worse.
- _rmtree_with_retry(): a few spaced retries absorb the ENOTEMPTY / Windows
file-lock race from a just-terminated writer's in-flight -wal/-shm/sandbox
writes instead of failing the whole delete on a race the next attempt wins.
Complements the recreation guard (deleted profiles no longer reappear) and the
Desktop teardown-before-delete flow; this is the CLI-side convergence fix for a
delete run while a Desktop-managed backend is live.
Part of #47368.
The terminal-refresh quarantine filtered in-memory entries on
source == "device_code" but built removed_ids from the deleted
"loopback_pkce" source name, so the revoked device-code entry was
never pruned from the persisted pool in auth.json. Also restores the
_print_loopback_ssh_hint test suite scoped to Spotify (the helper's
remaining caller) instead of deleting it wholesale.
Replace the loopback/PKCE-callback server and manual-paste fallback with
the RFC 8628 device-code flow as the only xAI Grok OAuth login path. The
flow works in headless/SSH/container sessions with no 127.0.0.1 listener,
shrinking the local attack surface.
- Poll the token endpoint with server-provided interval, honoring
slow_down and expires_in; store tokens with auth_mode
oauth_device_code.
- Adaptive proactive refresh skew for short-lived device-code JWTs;
rotated tokens sync back to auth.json, the global root store, and the
credential pool (no refresh-token replay).
- Clear source suppression on successful re-login (CLI + dashboard) and
drop the duplicate dashboard pool entry so exactly one seeded
device_code entry exists.
- Use the shared device_code source name for consistency with the
nous/codex device-code providers.
- Desktop: remove the loopback OAuth flow states and dead type variants;
pkce providers' sign-in URL selection is unchanged.
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) rewritten for device-code login; drop the deleted
--manual-paste flag from documented commands.
Named providers / custom_providers entries in config.yaml now accept an
extra_headers dict scoped to that endpoint — for reverse proxies, API
gateways, and custom auth schemes (e.g. Cloudflare Access service tokens).
- hermes_cli/config.py: normalize extra_headers on provider entries
(_normalize_custom_provider_entry + providers-dict translation), add
get_custom_provider_extra_headers /
apply_custom_provider_extra_headers_to_client_kwargs helpers keyed on
base_url (case/trailing-slash insensitive, no substring bypass —
mirrors the TLS helpers)
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: surface extra_headers in the resolved
runtime for named custom providers (providers dict, legacy
custom_providers list, and the credential-pool path)
- run_agent.py / agent/agent_init.py: merge per-provider extra_headers
onto the OpenAI client default_headers at construction and on every
_apply_client_headers_for_base_url re-application (credential swaps,
rebuilds), most-specific level wins; OpenAI-wire only (native
Anthropic/Bedrock scoped out)
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: accept model.extra_headers as an alias of
model.default_headers for the global variant
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented commented example
- Header values are treated as secrets and never logged

Salvage of the surviving hunk of #3296 by @Mibayy. The PR's gateway
_handle_provider_command hunk targets code removed on main (/provider was
absorbed into /model + /status, which already read model.base_url); the
hermes status mislabel was the remaining live symptom:
_effective_provider_label() only checked the legacy OPENAI_BASE_URL env var,
so a custom endpoint configured canonically in config.yaml still displayed
as OpenRouter.
delegation.max_concurrent_children is now the single cap for both a
batch's parallelism and concurrent background delegation units.
- _get_max_async_children() delegates to _get_max_concurrent_children();
a leftover max_async_children key logs a one-time deprecation warning
- config v32→33 migration removes the stale key, folding a raised
max_async_children into max_concurrent_children (max wins, no lost
headroom)
- capacity error messages now point at max_concurrent_children
- pool-at-capacity sync fallback now attaches an explanatory note so
the model/user know why the call blocked instead of dispatching async
Previously users who raised max_concurrent_children (e.g. to 15) still
hit the invisible default-3 async cap: the 4th background delegate_task
silently ran inline, blocking the turn with no signal.
MoA per-turn latency is dominated by advisor GENERATION: turn wall time
correlates ~0.88 with output tokens and ~-0.03 with input tokens (measured over
52 turns). Each turn waits for the slowest advisor to finish writing, and
advisors were uncapped — writing multi-thousand-token essays the aggregator
only needs the gist of.
Add an opt-in per-preset reference_max_tokens knob (mirrors reference_temperature)
that caps ADVISOR output only; the acting aggregator is never capped. Default
None = uncapped, so existing presets are byte-for-byte unchanged (no regression).
Wired through both MoA execution paths (MoAChatCompletions.create and
aggregate_moa_context).
E2E: same task, closed preset uncapped vs reference_max_tokens=600 -> 59s to 33s
(~44% faster), final answer identical/correct.
- hermes_cli/moa_config.py: _coerce_int_or_none helper + reference_max_tokens
in _normalize_preset/_default_preset/flattened view
- agent/moa_loop.py: read preset.reference_max_tokens, pass to reference fan-out
- agent/conversation_loop.py: pass reference_max_tokens on the per-turn path
- tests + docs
Ben caught that the initial approach (widening _NOUS_PORTAL_ALLOWED_HOSTS to
include the staging host) was the wrong fix -- env vars are supposed to
override the allowlist, mirroring how NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL already
bypasses _ALLOWED_NOUS_INFERENCE_HOSTS via _nous_inference_env_override().
The actual bug: both resolve_nous_access_token and
resolve_nous_runtime_credentials read
`_optional_base_url(state.get("portal_base_url")) or os.getenv(...) or ...`
-- a plain `or` chain where the STORED state value wins first (short-circuits
before the env vars are even read), and then whichever value won gets run
through the same _NOUS_PORTAL_ALLOWED_HOSTS gate regardless of its source.
So a hosted agent stamped with HERMES_PORTAL_BASE_URL=<staging> in its env
AND a staging portal_base_url already persisted to auth.json would still
get silently rewritten to prod on every refresh, because the env var never
even got a chance to be consulted.
Revert the previous _NOUS_PORTAL_ALLOWED_HOSTS widening entirely --
staying prod-only preserves the allowlist's actual job (rejecting an
untrusted network-provided portal_base_url persisted to auth.json by a
compromised Portal response).
Add _nous_portal_env_override() (mirrors _nous_inference_env_override())
and restructure both call sites so the env override is checked FIRST and,
when set, wins outright and skips the allowlist gate entirely -- the
allowlist only ever runs against the fallback (stored-state-or-default)
path now.
Rewrote tests/hermes_cli/test_nous_portal_staging_allowlist.py to test the
actual fix: the helper function, and an end-to-end
resolve_nous_access_token proof that the env override wins even when state
ALSO has the staging host stored (the exact incident shape), that it wins
over a stored PROD host too, and that the allowlist's heal-to-prod
behaviour for an untrusted stored value is preserved when no override is
set.
The salvaged fix wired per-provider ssl_ca_cert / ssl_verify (and
HERMES_CA_BUNDLE) into the MAIN OpenAI client. This follow-up:
- Auxiliary client parity: process_bootstrap.build_keepalive_http_client
accepts and forwards verify; auxiliary_client._resolve_aux_verify mirrors
the main-client TLS resolution (via load_config_readonly, the read-only
fast path) so compression/vision/web_extract/title-gen/session_search
honor the same per-provider CA. Without this, chat worked against a
private-CA endpoint but every auxiliary call still failed APIConnectionError.
- switch_model now reads custom_providers from live config (load_config_readonly)
instead of the init-time agent._custom_providers snapshot, so ssl_ca_cert /
ssl_verify edits are honored on mid-session model switch — matching the
context-length reload (#15779).
- Drop the dead client-level verify= where a custom httpx transport is used
(httpx ignores it there); verify lives on the transport. Fix docstrings.
Applies to both run_agent._build_keepalive_http_client and process_bootstrap.
- resolve_httpx_verify: add CURL_CA_BUNDLE to the env chain (consistency with
agent/ssl_guard._CA_BUNDLE_ENV_VARS) and emit a loud logger.warning naming
the endpoint whenever ssl_verify:false disables verification.
- get_custom_provider_tls_settings: case-insensitive base_url match (config
dedup already lowercases; scheme/host are case-insensitive) so a mixed-case
entry doesn't silently drop its CA. Exact match preserved — no prefix bypass.
- Demote best-effort except Exception: pass in agent_init/switch_model to
logger.debug(exc_info=True).
- Tests for aux verify forwarding, _resolve_aux_verify, case-insensitive
match, and prefix-bypass rejection.
Wire ssl_ca_cert and ssl_verify through custom_providers config and env
vars into the keepalive httpx client, fixing APIConnectionError against
mkcert/self-signed Ollama proxies behind HTTPS.
In the interactive CLI, /journey dispatched straight to `args.func(args)`,
letting Rich write ANSI to stdout — which patch_stdout's StdoutProxy passes
through as literal `?[38;2;…m` garbage. Route the read-only views (default +
`list`) through a captured, force-color Console and re-emit via `_cprint`
(prompt_toolkit's ANSI parser), matching the `ChatConsole` idiom.
`delete`/`edit` stay on real stdio since they prompt / open `$EDITOR`.
The /codex-runtime slash command short-circuits with "openai_runtime
already set" when invoked with the same value as the current config,
and crucially skips the entire migration block below. The check
conflates two things: (a) "the config value is correct" and (b) "the
world state (managed block in ~/.codex/config.toml, hermes-tools MCP
callback, plugin discovery) is converged".
Common footgun this exposes: a user who pre-sets
`model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server` directly in config.yaml
(reasonable thing to do) and then runs /codex-runtime codex_app_server
to trigger migration sees "already set" and silently gets no migration.
~/.codex/config.toml never receives the managed block, the hermes-tools
MCP callback never registers, and codex falls through to its default
runtime instead of the app-server one — visibly successful but
functionally partial setup.
The migration is idempotent by design (it replaces its own managed
block in place between MIGRATION_MARKER and MIGRATION_END_MARKER), so
re-running it is safe and cheap. Fix the short-circuit to fall through
to migration when re-applying codex_app_server while skipping the
config persist (no value-level change needed). The disable case
(re-applying "auto") still short-circuits because disabling doesn't
touch ~/.codex/config.toml at all.
The user-visible message changes to "openai_runtime already set to
codex_app_server — re-applying migration" so re-runs surface what
happened.
Regression test (test_reapply_codex_app_server_runs_migration) asserts:
- migrate() was called when re-applying
- persist_callback was NOT called (no config write on no-op transitions)
- migration output (MCP servers, sandbox default) surfaces in the
user-visible message
- requires_new_session is True so callers know to /reset
Verified RED→GREEN: the test fails on origin/main with
"migration must run on reapply, not just first enable" and passes with
this fix. Full test_codex_runtime_switch.py suite: 31 passed.
Adds Vertex AI as a first-class provider for Gemini models via Vertex's
OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Vertex authenticates with short-lived OAuth2
access tokens (service-account JSON or ADC), not a static API key — the
missing piece behind the recurring requests (#13484, #12639, #56259).
- agent/vertex_adapter.py: OAuth2 token minting + refresh-on-expiry
(5-min margin), ADC->service-account fallback, global vs regional
endpoint URLs. Config precedence: env var > config.yaml > default.
- plugins/model-providers/vertex/: provider profile (auth_type=vertex),
reuses Gemini's extra_body.google.thinking_config translation.
- runtime_provider: vertex short-circuit BEFORE the credential pool so a
credentials-file path is never mistaken for a static API key; mints a
fresh token + computes base_url per resolve.
- run_agent + conversation_loop: _try_refresh_vertex_client_credentials()
re-mints the token and rebuilds the client on a mid-session 401, so a
long-lived gateway agent survives token expiry (~1h).
- auxiliary_client: vertex auth_type branch for side-LLM tasks.
- config.yaml: vertex.project_id / vertex.region (non-secret, bridged to
env); credential path stays in .env (VERTEX_CREDENTIALS_PATH).
- setup wizard + model picker: dedicated _model_flow_vertex; curated
google/gemini-* model list; --provider choices.
- pricing/metadata: Vertex prices off the gemini docs snapshot; endpoint
host auto-maps to the vertex provider (no probe spam).
- lazy_deps + pyproject [vertex] extra: google-auth, opt-in only.
- docs: guides/google-vertex.md + providers page; tests for adapter +
runtime resolution.
Salvages and modernizes #8427 by @slawt onto current main: rewired from
the legacy PROVIDER_REGISTRY path to the provider-profile architecture,
moved non-secret config out of .env into config.yaml, and added the
per-turn 401 token-refresh the original lacked.
resolve_nous_runtime_credentials / resolve_nous_access_token now read via
_load_provider_state_with_source (and write via _save_provider_state_to_source).
TestEnvOverrideWins mocked only the old _load_provider_state, so the real
(empty) state was read → AuthError. Mock the new boundary too, returning
(state, None) so the write-through helper treats it as the active store.
The salvaged PR guarded only resolve_nous_access_token; the primary
resolve_nous_runtime_credentials path also POSTs the refresh token to
portal_base_url on refresh with no allowlist check. Mirror the guard
there so a poisoned host can't receive the bearer, and drop the stray
duplicated allowlist comment. Adds a sibling-site regression test.
Add tmp_path symlink regression tests for both generate_systemd_unit and
generate_launchd_plist (~/.local/bin/node -> profile node install must not
leak the profile target into the generated unit PATH). Register
jearnest11's AUTHOR_MAP entry for the salvage cherry-pick.
Reworks @valenteff's #53277 fix per review (Teknium's 3 findings):
- Route refresh_launchd_plist_if_needed's bootstrap through the existing
_launchctl_bootstrap() EIO-recovery helper (canonical since #56256),
wrapped in a wall-clock retry loop, instead of an ad-hoc 5x2s loop.
- Window sized to agent.restart_drain_timeout (default 180s), not a fixed
~10s: the failure happens while the old gateway is still draining (finding 1).
- Retry on subprocess.TimeoutExpired too, not just CalledProcessError — a
bootstrap timeout after bootout otherwise escapes and leaves the service
unloaded (finding 2).
- Confirm success with launchctl list, not a bare bootstrap exit 0 (finding 3);
mirror verify+drain-window in the detached-helper bash path.
- Shared helpers _launchd_reload_log_path / _append_launchd_reload_log /
_launchctl_label_registered / _retry_launchctl_bootstrap_until_registered.
3 new tests cover retry-until-listed, TimeoutExpired-retried, deadline-exhaust.
E2E: real reload log + mocked launchctl — retries CalledProcessError+TimeoutExpired,
verifies via launchctl list, logs failures.
Follow-up on the salvaged #47491 commits:
- Register _plugin_api_runtime_gate BEFORE the auth middlewares so it
executes AFTER them, and add an explicit auth check: unauthenticated
requests to /api/plugins/<name>/ fall through to auth's 401 instead of
this gate's 404. Prevents the gate from becoming a plugin-name oracle
(an unauthenticated caller could otherwise fingerprint installed/enabled
plugins by status code). Keeps test_non_kanban_plugin_route_requires_auth
green.
- Enable the 'example' user plugin in the _install_example_plugin test
fixture so the auth / static-asset-allowlist tests still reach the real
serving paths now that user plugins are gated on plugins.enabled.
- Mark the runtime-gate unit-test scopes as authenticated so they exercise
the enabled/disabled policy under the new auth-first ordering.
Address two residual bypasses identified in review:
1. Add _plugin_api_runtime_gate middleware that checks plugins.enabled/
plugins.disabled on every request to /api/plugins/{name}/... routes.
Previously, disabling a plugin at runtime had no effect on its already-
mounted API routes until a restart.
2. Extend serve_plugin_asset to check plugins.disabled for bundled plugins.
Previously, only user plugins were gated — a bundled plugin in
plugins.disabled would still serve assets from the unauthenticated
/dashboard-plugins/{name}/... endpoint.
Both fixes ensure the enabled/disabled policy is evaluated live at request
time, not just at startup.
Adds regression tests covering:
- Middleware blocks disabled user plugin API routes (404)
- Middleware blocks user plugin removed from enabled set (404)
- Middleware passes enabled user plugin API routes
- Middleware blocks disabled bundled plugin API routes (404)
- Bundled plugin assets return 404 when disabled
- Bundled plugin assets served normally when not disabled
- User plugin asset gating still works correctly
On macOS, `launchctl bootstrap` of a label still registered in the domain
fails with 5: Input/output error (EIO). That is the *already loaded* case — a
stale registration from an interrupted restart or a bootout that didn't settle
— recoverable by booting the leftover out and bootstrapping again, and distinct
from the domain being genuinely unmanageable.
launchd_install and launchd_start (both bootstrap paths) treated exit 5 as
'launchd cannot manage this macOS version' and silently degraded to a detached
process, losing auto-start at login and crash-restart. Centralize bootstrap in
_launchctl_bootstrap(), which on EIO boots the stale label out and retries once;
only if the retry also fails does the error propagate so callers apply their
existing _launchctl_domain_unsupported fallback for a genuinely broken domain.
launchd_restart already boots out before bootstrapping (its drained job is
almost always still registered, so a plain bootstrap would hit EIO on the common
path), so it keeps its explicit pre-bootout rather than routing through the
bootstrap-first helper. Corrected the stale exit-5 comment that claimed it
always meant an unmanageable domain.
Adds TestLaunchctlBootstrapEioRetry covering clean bootstrap (no bootout),
EIO -> bootout -> retry success, persistent EIO re-raise, and non-EIO re-raise
without a spurious bootout.
Completes the #30719 restart-loop defenses. Defenses 1-2 (the
_HERMES_GATEWAY guard on `hermes gateway stop|restart` + terminal_tool,
and the cron-creation lifecycle filter) already landed on main, but two
gaps remained:
- The agent's `cronjob` model tool calls cron.jobs.create_job directly,
bypassing the hermes_cli.cron.cron_create CLI filter, so lifecycle
commands scheduled via the model tool were only blocked at execution
time (terminal_tool), not at creation. Moved the filter to a shared
cron/lifecycle_guard.py enforced at create_job — the single chokepoint
every job-creation path hits (CLI + model tool). Re-exported
_contains_gateway_lifecycle_command from hermes_cli.cron so
terminal_tool's import keeps working.
- No breaker for the auto-resume loop itself. Defenses 1-2 cover the
cron/CLI/terminal paths, but any other SIGTERM source (e.g. a raw
terminal("launchctl kickstart ai.hermes.gateway")) still triggers the
boot->auto-resume->re-run cycle. Added gateway/restart_loop_guard.py:
counts restart-interrupted boots in a rolling window (config
gateway.restart_loop_guard, default 3 boots / 60s) and skips
auto-resume for that boot once tripped. The gateway still comes up and
serves real inbound messages; it just stops replaying the session that
keeps killing it, putting a human back in the loop.
Also tightened the lifecycle regex over main's version: dropped
`hermes gateway start` (benign), required the gateway identifier on the
launchctl/systemctl branches (so `launchctl unload
ai.hermes.update-checker.plist` and `systemctl restart
hermes-meta.service` no longer false-positive), added the inverse
pkill token order, and fixed the binary-script bypass (decode with
errors='replace' instead of swallowing UnicodeDecodeError). The
create_job guard resolves relative script paths under HERMES_HOME/scripts
the same way the scheduler does, so a bare script name is scanned as the
file that actually runs.
Design and much of defense-2 originate from PR #33395 (@kshitijk4poor),
which itself salvaged #30728 (@SimoKiihamaki). Rebuilt against current
main since defenses 1-2 had already landed under different names.
Closes#30719.

End-to-end regression coverage for #32243 that asserts every runtime
branch resolving an Anthropic endpoint returns
`api_mode == "anthropic_messages"`:
* `_resolve_explicit_runtime` — the path used when a Hermes
subcommand passes an explicit `--api-key` / `--base-url`. Pins
that a stale persisted `model.api_mode: chat_completions` from a
prior provider migration cannot override the anthropic pin.
* `_resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry` — the path triggered by
`hermes auth add anthropic --type oauth` (the exact flow from the
issue). Same stale-api_mode regression pinned here.
* `_try_resolve_from_custom_pool` — the user-defined
`providers:` / `custom_providers:` path that depends on the
URL detector fix landed in the prior commit. Asserts both the
detector fallback fires for `api.anthropic.com` and that an
explicit `api_mode_override` still wins (so users who DELIBERATELY
pointed a chat_completions transport at api.anthropic.com for
OpenAI-compat experiments aren't hijacked).
Co-locates the three contracts so a future refactor of one branch
cannot silently diverge from the others and re-introduce the
"out of extra usage" 400 on fresh OAuth Pro/Max credentials.
Add a dedicated `TestDirectAnthropicHost` class to
`test_detect_api_mode_for_url.py` covering the native Anthropic host
shape (bare, trailing slash, /v1 suffix, uppercase host) plus the
two negative-space regressions that matter for security: lookalike
subdomains (`api.anthropic.com.attacker.test`) and path-segment
spoofing (`https://proxy.example.test/api.anthropic.com/v1`) must
NOT be classified as native — leaking an Anthropic OAuth token to
either would be the worst case.
Refs #32243.
Upstream #52270 added `_nous_inference_env_override()` but wired it into
only `resolve_nous_runtime_credentials`. Three sibling resolution paths
still ignored the override, so a self-hosted Nous inference endpoint set
via `NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL` was silently dropped whenever credentials
arrived through any of them:
- the credential-pool path (`_resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry`)
- the explicit-provider path (`_resolve_explicit_runtime`)
- the auxiliary side-LLM client (`_pool_runtime_base_url`)
Route all three through the same auth-layer reader so every
`NOUS_INFERENCE_BASE_URL` read shares one normalization path
(trailing-slash stripping, blank -> empty) and the documented
trusted-bypass intent stays in one place. The override is live-only: it
wins for the base URL returned this run but is never persisted to
auth.json or the credential pool, so an ephemeral dev/staging value
cannot poison durable auth state.

## What does this PR do?
A single, perfectly valid `.env` line was being silently corrupted on read
and write. When a secret's value happened to contain a known Hermes env var
name followed by `=` — for example a webhook or proxy base URL carrying a
query parameter like `OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://proxy.example.com/v1?TAVILY_API_KEY=sk-...`
— `_sanitize_env_lines()` treated the embedded `KEY=` as a second entry. It
truncated the real secret at the inner match and fabricated a bogus second
variable. A related path silently dropped any text before the first matched
key. Because this runs on every `load_env()`, `save_env_value()`,
`remove_env_value()` and `sanitize_env_file()`, the damage was written back to
`~/.hermes/.env` and re-applied on every read — persistent loss/corruption of
the canonical secrets store.
The concatenation splitter now only acts when the line actually begins with a
known `KEY=` (so leading text is never dropped) and when every value that
precedes a boundary is a plain token. If a preceding value looks structured —
a URL/query string (`://`, `?`, `&`) or contains whitespace — the embedded
`KEY=` is understood to be part of that value, and the line is kept verbatim.
Genuine concatenations of plain-token secrets still split as before.
## Related Issue
N/A
## Type of Change
- [x] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
## Changes Made
- `hermes_cli/config.py`: added `_looks_like_structured_value()` helper and
reworked the split logic in `_sanitize_env_lines()` to anchor splits to the
line start and skip splitting when a preceding value looks like a URL/query
string or holds whitespace.
- `tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py`: added two regression tests — a value that
embeds a known `KEY=` is preserved verbatim, and leading text before the
first key is not dropped.
## How to Test
1. Run the sanitizer tests: `pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py -k anitize -q`.
2. Confirm the new cases reproduce the bug on the old code and pass on the new:
`OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://proxy.example.com/v1?TAVILY_API_KEY=sk-embedded`
is returned unchanged instead of being split into a truncated value plus a
fabricated `TAVILY_API_KEY` entry.
3. Run the full file: `pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_config.py -q` (97 passed).

Fixes#11336
Two live cron bugs, both surfaced by @banditburai in #35616 (whose larger
watchdog/supervisor work is already superseded by the CronScheduler provider
refactor on main):
- #32896: `cron list` crashed on a present-but-null `deliver` field —
`job.get("deliver", ["local"])` returns None for an explicit null, which
then hit `", ".join(None)`. Coalesce with `or ["local"]` (same pitfall
the sibling `repeat` line already guards against).
- #33465: cron jobs 401'd on Bitwarden/BSM-backed secrets. The per-run env
reload used a bare `load_dotenv(override=True)`, which re-applied only the
.env placeholder — startup had already recorded this HERMES_HOME in
env_loader._APPLIED_HOMES, so the external-secret re-pull no-oped. Route the
reload through load_hermes_dotenv() and call reset_secret_source_cache()
first to force the re-pull (Bitwarden's 300s value-cache keeps it off the
network; override honours secrets.bitwarden.override_existing, mirroring
startup).
Tests: null-deliver regression guard in test_cron.py; reset-before-reload
ordering guard in test_scheduler.py. Migrated 31 scheduler-reload test seams
from patching dotenv.load_dotenv to the new load_hermes_dotenv /
reset_secret_source_cache seam.
`hermes debug share` printed a privacy notice and then uploaded the
report to a public paste service in the same breath — the user never got
to say yes or no. Add a consent gate: an interactive [y/N] prompt, a
--yes/-y flag to skip it, and a hard refusal (exit 1) in non-interactive
contexts (no TTY on stdin) so debug data can't be exposed silently in
scripts/CI.
- New _confirm_upload() helper gates the actual upload after the notice.
- Applied to BOTH upload paths: the public paste.rs path and the --nous
Nous-S3 path (the latter is a sibling site the original PR missed).
- The /debug slash command passes yes=True (typing /debug is itself the
consent action, and input() would hang inside prompt_toolkit).
- Rewrote the privacy notice for accuracy: secrets (API keys/tokens/
passwords) ARE force-redacted before upload; PII (display name,
platform user ID, verbatim message content, filesystem paths) is NOT,
and that URL is public.
Fixes#22016.

The --nous flag was only wired into the argparse `hermes debug share`
subcommand. The /debug slash command (classic CLI + TUI, both via
process_command -> _handle_debug_command) built a hardcoded args
namespace with no `nous` attribute, so it always took the default
paste.rs path.
Pass cmd_original through to _handle_debug_command and parse an optional
destination word:
/debug -> public paste (default, unchanged)
/debug nous -> Nous-internal S3
/debug local -> stdout, no upload
local wins over nous (never touches the network); unknown words fall
back to the default. Add args_hint="[nous|local]" so help/autocomplete
surface it. New TestDebugSlashCommand covers the parsing + dispatch.
NAS PR #349 (merged) ships a stateless presigned-PUT endpoint: the only
route is POST /api/diagnostics/upload-url, and the object's existence in S3
is the only state. There is no /api/diagnostics/confirm route — confirming
live against the merged preview returns 404.
The client's confirm_upload() therefore fired a guaranteed-404 request on
every --nous upload (harmless, since errors were swallowed, but dead).
Remove it and simplify share_to_nous() to the 2-step mint + PUT flow that
matches the shipped contract. Drop the corresponding TestConfirmUpload class
and confirm assertions; add a test that the share succeeds even when the
response carries no id (we no longer depend on it).
The separately-flagged cross-repo requirement from #349's review --
sizeBytes is now REQUIRED and signed into the presigned URL's ContentLength
-- was already satisfied: share_to_nous() sends len(bundle) as sizeBytes and
urllib sets a matching Content-Length on the PUT. Verified against the live
merged preview (missing sizeBytes -> 400 invalid_body; present -> 503 dark).
Tested: pytest tests/hermes_cli/test_diagnostics_upload.py tests/hermes_cli/test_debug.py -> 95 passed.
`hermes debug share --nous` uploads the (force-redacted) debug bundle to
Nous-internal S3 storage via a presigned URL minted by the Nous account
service, instead of a public paste. The bundle is private — viewable only
by Nous staff / allowlisted mods through a Google-OAuth-gated viewer — and
auto-deletes after 14 days. The paste.rs path is unchanged and remains the
default.
- hermes_cli/diagnostics_upload.py (new): stdlib-urllib NAS client —
request_upload_url(), put_bundle(), confirm_upload() (best-effort),
share_to_nous() orchestrator. Base URL via HERMES_DIAGNOSTICS_BASE_URL
(default https://portal.nousresearch.com).
- hermes_cli/debug.py: extract collect_share_bundle() from build_debug_share()
so the Nous path reuses the exact same redaction/collection (paste.rs
behaviour unchanged); add build_nous_bundle() producing the gzipped
{"format":"hermes-debug-share/1","redacted":...,"files":...} envelope the
discord-support viewer parses; add the --nous run path with a privacy
notice and a clean fallback (suggest --local) on failure.
- hermes_cli/main.py: add the --nous flag + help/epilog entry on
`debug share`.
- tests: test_diagnostics_upload.py (new) mocks urllib; test_debug.py adds
bundle/Nous coverage. 97 passing.
Generic provider:custom relays were force-routed to the OpenAI Responses
API whenever the model matched gpt-5*, and a stale persisted
model.api_mode=codex_responses survived /reset and upgrades. Some
OpenAI-compatible relays do not implement Responses semantics, which
surfaced as malformed function_call.name replay errors in gateway sessions.
- runtime_provider: route custom-provider api_mode through
_resolve_plain_custom_api_mode(), which drops a stale codex_responses
unless the URL is direct OpenAI/xAI
- run_agent: _provider_model_requires_responses_api returns False for
custom; direct api.openai.com / api.x.ai URLs still upgrade via
_is_direct_openai_url() / URL detection
- regression coverage for plain relays vs direct OpenAI/xAI URLs

A single 'hermes update' / 'hermes -p' could rewrite a hand-curated config.yaml
into a near-full DEFAULT_CONFIG dump (the 'you blow up my profile config on one
tweak' reports). Root cause: migrate_config() had ~16 independent save_config()
call sites, each author deciding ad hoc whether to materialise a value, and many
persisted pure schema defaults with strip_defaults=False. Defaults already merge
transparently at read time via load_config(), so writing them is pure bloat that
also shadows future default changes (see save_config's docstring).
Architectural fix (not a per-site patch): introduce a single _persist_migration()
chokepoint that enforces one invariant — a migration may persist only values that
DIFFER from the current schema default, plus explicit removals/renames of user
data; pure defaults are never written. Every migration write (all 17 sites incl.
the version-bump finalizer) now routes through it. The invariant is mechanically
correct for all cases and verified empirically:
- pure-default seeds (timezone='', curator/auxiliary.curator blocks, interim
flag, curator.consolidate=False, empty plugins.enabled) are stripped → merged
in at read time;
- non-default values (write_approval=True, model_catalog.ttl_hours=1) preserved
via explicit-raw-path preservation;
- behaviour flips (agent.verify_on_stop=False, schema default still 'auto')
preserved because False != 'auto';
- data transforms (custom_providers->providers, stt.model relocation,
write_mode->write_approval, compression.summary_* removal, MCP-disable)
persist their removals/renames.
An explicitly user-set non-default value (e.g. matrix.require_mention: false) is
preserved across the bump.
Guard tests lock the architecture: an AST check asserts migrate_config() makes no
direct save_config() call (all writes go through _persist_migration), and a
full-range v1->latest test asserts a lean config is never dumped. Two existing
change-detector tests that froze the on-disk representation of default-valued
keys are rewritten to assert the effective value via load_config() (behaviour
contract, not snapshot).
Validation: lean v1->latest migration drops from ~567 bytes to ~196 bytes;
148 config+setup and 196 profile/curator/migrate tests pass on scripts/run_tests.sh.
exact_moa_preset_name matched any bare model name equal to a preset key,
regardless of the preset's enabled flag. On the no-explicit-provider switch
path (PATH B in model_switch.py), a plain /model switch whose name collided
with a preset key (e.g. "default") silently pivoted the session onto the MoA
virtual provider — even when the user had set enabled: false to opt out
(issue #55187). The LLM driving a routine model switch could land on a broken
moa provider with empty default_preset / unconfigured aggregator credentials.
Gate the implicit bare-name match on the per-preset enabled flag. Explicit
selection via --provider moa / the model picker uses PATH A and does not go
through exact_moa_preset_name, so a disabled preset stays reachable when the
user explicitly asks for it.
Builds on memosr's sink-level opt-in gate (#29249). Enabling a
non-bundled plugin now surfaces the privileged allow_tool_override
decision at `hermes plugins enable` time instead of leaving the
operator to discover the config key after a runtime rejection.
- `hermes plugins enable <name>` prompts for non-bundled plugins:
'Allow this plugin to replace built-in tools?' Default is deny
(blank Enter / non-interactive stdin / EOF all fail closed).
- --allow-tool-override / --no-allow-tool-override flags for
non-interactive and scripted use (and a future desktop checkbox).
- Bundled plugins are trusted: never prompted, no entry written.
- Writes plugins.entries.<key>.allow_tool_override, the same key the
sink gate reads (manifest.key == discovery key), so consent and
enforcement compose end to end.
egilewski found the prior sink gate was transient: it only applied while
PluginManager executed register(ctx). A plugin could defer a direct
registry.register(..., override=True) to a post-load callback/thread, after
the scope was cleared, and still replace a built-in.
Make authorization durable by binding it to where the handler is DEFINED
(handler.__globals__['__name__']) rather than to call timing. At load, each
plugin's module namespace is mapped to its allow_tool_override opt-in in a
table that is never cleared. The sink resolves the handler's owning plugin
module and rejects an override from any plugin namespace without opt-in,
regardless of when or on which thread the call happens. Plugin namespaces
with no recorded policy are treated as not-opted-in (fail-closed). Built-in
and MCP handlers live outside the plugin namespace and are unaffected.
Adds a regression test for the delayed/post-load direct-registry override.
The opt-in gate lived only in PluginContext.register_tool, so a plugin
could bypass it by importing tools.registry and calling
registry.register(..., override=True) directly. Enforce the same gate at
the sink: during plugin load, the registry rejects an override from a
plugin without operator opt-in regardless of the path taken. Built-in and
MCP registrations (no active plugin scope) are unaffected.
Adds a regression test covering the direct-registry bypass.
The tool_override flag landed in v0.14.0 (#26759) so plugins can replace
a built-in tool with their own implementation. It works as advertised
but there is no trust gate, so any enabled third-party plugin can
silently override any built-in like shell_exec, write_file, or web_fetch
and exfiltrate everything the agent invokes through it. The only trace
is a DEBUG-level log line.
Compare with ctx.llm (#23194) which does gate the equivalent privilege
escalation: overriding the provider requires
plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_provider_override: true in config.yaml.
The policy shape exists, it just was not extended to tool overrides.
Fix:
* Add PluginToolOverrideError(PermissionError) for the gate failure.
* register_tool() now checks _tool_override_allowed(name) when
override=True. Bundled plugins (manifest.source == 'bundled') are
trusted by default. Every other source requires
plugins.entries.<plugin_id>.allow_tool_override: true in config.yaml.
* fail-closed: if config.yaml cannot be loaded for any reason,
_tool_override_allowed returns False. Same posture as
MSGraphWebhookAdapter.connect() in #22353.
Backwards compatibility:
* Bundled plugins: no change (source == 'bundled' short-circuits the
gate).
* Third-party plugins not using override: no change (gate is only
consulted when override=True).
* Third-party plugins using override: registration fails until the
operator opts in. The error message includes the exact config path
to add, so the fix is one config edit away for legitimate use cases.
Same migration path users went through for allow_provider_override
after #23194 landed.
Regression tests:
* tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py::test_register_tool_override_replaces_existing
and ::test_register_tool_override_on_new_name_is_noop_path were
written before the gate existed. Updated their test configs to
include allow_tool_override: true under
plugins.entries.<plugin_id>, mirroring how a legitimate operator
would now grant the privilege.
* New regression test ::test_register_tool_override_blocked_without_operator_opt_in
exercises both the PluginManager-catches-error path (built-in tool is
preserved, attacker plugin is skipped) and the direct-call path
(PluginToolOverrideError is raised with a message that names the
config key to set). Verified the test fails without this fix and
passes with it.
* All 73 tests in test_plugins.py continue to pass.
