main (cb982ad99) wired windows_hide_flags() into the auxiliary git/gh/wmic/
bash/powershell/taskkill legs but left two it didn't reach, plus the Electron
backend-launch leg it explicitly deferred. Cover them the same way:
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: getNoConsoleVenvPython resolves the BASE
pythonw.exe instead of the venv Scripts\pythonw.exe shim, which re-execs a
console python.exe and flashes a conhost the desktop backend can't suppress.
Both backend creators put the venv site-packages on PYTHONPATH so imports
still resolve under the base interpreter. (main's commit said this Electron
leg "needs a Windows-tested change of its own".)
- tools/tts_tool.py, tools/transcription_tools.py, plugins/platforms/discord:
ffmpeg conversions (voice notes / TTS / STT) via windows_hide_flags().
- plugins/platforms/whatsapp: netstat + taskkill bridge-port cleanup via
windows_hide_flags().
All no-ops on POSIX. Tests assert the base-pythonw preference and the ffmpeg
legs pass CREATE_NO_WINDOW.
* fix(windows): stop terminal-window popups from background spawns
Native-Windows desktop/gateway users saw cmd/conhost windows flash on
gateway restart, image paste, the dashboard Projects tree, voice notes,
and ~5 min after closing the app (detached cron). Two root causes:
- Console-subsystem exes (taskkill, schtasks, wmic, netstat, tasklist,
agent-browser, git, ffmpeg, powershell, git-bash) spawned via raw
subprocess allocate a fresh console when the launching process has
none (pythonw desktop backend / detached gateway) - even with output
captured.
- uv venv pythonw shims re-exec console python.exe, so Python children
get a console regardless of how they're launched.
Fixes:
- Single hidden-spawn primitive (_subprocess_compat.run/.popen) that ORs
CREATE_NO_WINDOW on Windows, no-op on POSIX. Route every Hermes-owned
console-exe spawn through it.
- FreeConsole() catch-all in hermes_bootstrap: any Python child that
exclusively owns an auto-allocated console detaches it at startup
(GetConsoleProcessList()==1 gate leaves shared interactive consoles
untouched).
- Replace PowerShell/wmic gateway PID scans with in-process psutil.
- Skip schtasks queries on non-interactive desktop restarts.
- Prefer native agent-browser .exe over .cmd shims.
- Guard test bans raw subprocess spawns of the Windows-only console
tools repo-wide so the popup class can't regress.
* fix(windows): scope FreeConsole to background entry points; fix merge fallout
Console detach review (per #53810 feedback): GetConsoleProcessList()==1 can't
tell a uv pythonw->python phantom console apart from a user opening the
interactive CLI/TUI in its own fresh console (double-click, shortcut, ConPTY) —
both report a single attached process with a tty. Running FreeConsole() in the
import-time bootstrap therefore risked detaching a legitimately-interactive
terminal.
- Extract FreeConsole into explicit hermes_bootstrap.detach_orphan_console();
remove it from apply_windows_utf8_bootstrap() (import side effect).
- Call it only from known background mains: gateway run, dashboard backend
(start_server, what the desktop spawns), cron standalone, tui_gateway entry,
slash worker. Interactive CLI/TUI never calls it.
- Behavior-contract tests: frees only when solo owner, leaves shared console,
no-op without console / on POSIX, and asserts it's not an import side effect.
Merge fallout from origin/main (#53791):
- local.py: 3-way merge left a dangling **_popen_kwargs (NameError crashing
every terminal init). _subprocess_compat.popen already hides the window, so
drop it.
- discord adapter: merge stacked an undefined windows_hide_flags() onto the
primitive call; drop the redundant arg.
- test_gateway: scan now goes psutil-first (zero spawn); rewrite the
case-variant test to drive that production path.
* test(claw): mock _subprocess_compat.run seam for Windows process scan
claw.py's Windows tasklist/powershell scan routes through the hidden-spawn
primitive; the tests still patched claw_mod.subprocess, so on win32 the mock
was never hit and real spawns returned nothing. Patch the actual seam.
send_message with MEDIA:/path to a WhatsApp target previously dropped the
attachment: the WhatsApp branch never passed media_files, the plugin's
_standalone_send accepted the param but only POSTed text, and WhatsApp was
absent from the media-supported platform list.
- send_message_tool: add a Platform.WHATSAPP media block (mirrors Feishu) that
routes media_files through the whatsapp plugin's standalone_sender_fn, and
add whatsapp to the supported-media list strings.
- whatsapp adapter: _standalone_send now sends text first (skipped when the
chunk is media-only), then uploads each file via the bridge /send-media
endpoint with a mediaType derived from extension/is_voice/force_document, so
images/videos/voice arrive as native bubbles instead of documents.
- _bridge_media_type classifier maps ext -> image|video|audio|document.
Closes#19105 (remaining send_message gap). Other items in the report
(inbound video paths, image_generate auto-deliver, history dedup, native
gateway bubbles) already landed on main.
preexec_fn=os.setsid runs Python code in the forked child before exec,
which is unsafe in multi-threaded processes (CPython docs). When the
Desktop gateway loads native libraries (onnxruntime, BLAS, provider SDKs)
with active thread pools, the fork can SIGSEGV before the child execs.
Replace all preexec_fn usage with start_new_session=True, which provides
the same setsid/process-group semantics without running Python in the
fork. This is already the pattern used throughout hermes_cli/gateway.py
and hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py.
Fixes#46789
After a prolonged outage the in-process network-error ladder escalates to
fatal and GatewayRunner._platform_reconnect_watcher rebuilds a fresh adapter
that reconnects through the bootstrap path. That path called
start_polling(drop_pending_updates=True), discarding every update Telegram
queued during the outage — all messages sent while the bot was down were
silently lost. The in-process ladder and 409-conflict handler already passed
drop_pending_updates=False; only bootstrap did not distinguish a cold first
boot from a reconnect.
Thread an is_reconnect signal from the watcher through
_connect_adapter_with_timeout into adapter.connect(). The base
BasePlatformAdapter.connect() gains a keyword-only is_reconnect=False so every
adapter inherits a tolerant signature (no per-platform breakage when the
runner forwards the kwarg). Telegram translates is_reconnect into
drop_pending_updates=not is_reconnect on both the polling and webhook bootstrap
calls. Cold boot still drops the stale queue; a watcher reconnect preserves it.
Fixes#46621.

Follow-up to ScotterMonk's cron-truncation fix:
- Remove HERMES_DELIVERY_MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT env var. Behavioral config
belongs in config.yaml, not a new HERMES_* env var (.env is secrets
only). The actual bug is fixed entirely by the adapter-aware skip; the
configurable cap was unneeded scope. MAX_PLATFORM_OUTPUT is a constant
again, collapsing the max_output=0 disable branch and the
audit-vs-truncation threshold divergence.
- Flag the remaining verified-chunking adapters (slack, matrix, feishu,
mattermost, teams, whatsapp, whatsapp_cloud, weixin, bluebubbles,
yuanbao) with splits_long_messages=True so the fix covers the whole
bug class, not just Discord/Telegram. Each verified to chunk in its
own send() via truncate_message().
- SMS deliberately left False: it chunks for normal replies but a
multi-segment cron blast is cost-bearing; the 4000-cap + file save is
the safer default there.
- Update tests: drop the two env-override tests, add a test asserting a
save failure during truncation (non-chunking) propagates.
Follow-up to the salvaged #43846 commits: the WhatsApp adapter moved from
gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py to plugins/platforms/whatsapp/adapter.py since the
PR was authored. The cherry-pick brought _listener_pids_on_port's `re.finditer`
ss-fallback and the new test's import, but the new module location doesn't import
`re` (latent NameError on the lsof-absent fallback path) and the test imported the
old module path. Add `import re` to the adapter and repoint the test import.
This is the bug that was actually closing Firefox. `_kill_port_process`, run on
every bridge (re)start to free the port, used `lsof -ti :PORT` / `fuser PORT/tcp`
— both of which match a process whose socket merely *involves* that port number
in ANY state, including ESTABLISHED client connections. It then SIGTERMed every
match.
The bridge defaults to port 3000 — a ubiquitous local dev-server port. With a
browser tab open on localhost:3000, `lsof -ti :3000` returned Firefox's PID, so
each restart of the (crash-looping) WhatsApp bridge SIGTERMed Firefox, closing
the whole browser at irregular intervals with no crash and no coredump.
Proven live with the kernel `signal:signal_generate` tracepoint:
hermes-gateway(3396516) -> sig=15 (code=0/SI_USER) -> comm=firefox pid=3371585
captured immediately after a gateway start, while Firefox held a socket on the
bridge port. Demonstrated over-match: `lsof -ti :8080` returns the listener AND
the gateway's own client connection; `lsof -ti tcp:8080 -sTCP:LISTEN` returns
only the listener.
Fix: `_listener_pids_on_port` resolves only LISTEN-state sockets
(`lsof -ti tcp:PORT -sTCP:LISTEN`, with an `ss -ltnp` fallback) and
`_kill_port_process` signals just those. A client whose connection happens to
involve the port number is never touched — which is also more correct, since a
client never blocks the new bridge from binding. Windows already filtered
LISTENING; the broad `fuser -k` path is removed.
Adds TestKillPortProcess: real-socket tests proving a separate client process
is excluded from the listener lookup and survives port cleanup. 9 tests green.

`_kill_stale_bridge_by_pidfile` SIGTERMed the PID recorded in `bridge.pid`
after only a bare liveness check. Once the bridge exits and is reaped the
kernel recycles that PID onto an unrelated process; because the WhatsApp bridge
crash-loops ("Bridge process died (exit code 1)" repeating), this cleanup ran
on every restart and could SIGTERM a recycled PID that had landed on the user's
browser — closing Firefox at irregular intervals with no crash and no coredump
(a clean kill of a stranger).
Same PID-recycling class as the MCP reaper (7bd1f8a2d) and the process-registry
host-PID guard (e6a99cef2); this was the third, and most actively-fired, path.
Fix: `_write_bridge_pidfile` now also records the leader's kernel start time
(line 2). `_kill_stale_bridge_by_pidfile` re-validates identity via
`_bridge_pid_is_ours` before signalling — the (pid, start time) pair must match,
or for legacy single-line pidfiles the live cmdline must name `node` + this
session's unique path. A recycled PID (different start time / cmdline) is logged
and skipped, never signalled. Legacy pidfiles stay readable.
Adds TestWhatsappBridgePidfile: real-process tests proving a genuine bridge is
reaped while a recycled PID (start-time mismatch, or non-bridge cmdline) is
spared. 7 new + 108 gateway/registry tests green.

Baileys' jidDecode crashes ("Cannot destructure property 'user' of
jidDecode(...) as it is undefined") when handed a bare phone number, so
sending a WhatsApp message to +50766715226 / 50766715226 returned HTTP
500 and never delivered (#8637).
Add to_whatsapp_jid() to gateway/whatsapp_identity.py — the outbound
inverse of normalize_whatsapp_identifier: it builds the JID a send must
use (bare phone -> <digits>@s.whatsapp.net) and passes through already
qualified JIDs (@g.us, @lid, status@broadcast, @newsletter) unchanged.
Wire it at every outbound bridge call site in the WhatsApp adapter
(send, edit, media, typing, get_chat_info, and the standalone cron /
send_message sender).

#49431 corrected parents[2]->parents[3] for discord + raft only. The same
bug existed in slack, whatsapp, and telegram adapters (migrated from
gateway/platforms/ in 5600105478): each inserts parents[2] = plugins/ onto
sys.path[0], shadowing the real cron/ package with plugins/cron/ so
'import cron.scheduler_provider' raises ModuleNotFoundError on gateway start.
Fixes#49410, #49824.
In Docker the install tree (/opt/hermes) is read-only, so npm install for
the WhatsApp bridge fails with EACCES. Add resolve_whatsapp_bridge_dir() in
whatsapp_common.py: when the install dir is read-only, mirror the bridge
source into a writable HERMES_HOME location and use that. Both the
adapter and the 'hermes whatsapp' CLI resolve through the shared helper so
the install and runtime paths agree.
Fixes#49561
Salvage of PR #41284 onto current main. Relocates the last 9 inline messaging
adapters (+ satellites: telegram_network, feishu_comment/_rules/meeting_invite,
wecom_crypto, wecom_callback) from gateway/platforms/ into self-contained
bundled plugins under plugins/platforms/<x>/, discovered via the platform
registry. Strips the per-platform core touchpoints from gateway/run.py,
gateway/config.py, hermes_cli/gateway.py, hermes_cli/setup.py, and
tools/send_message_tool.py.
Carries forward the migration fixes (explicit enabled:false honored,
get_connected_platforms forces discovery, plugin is_connected via
gateway.get_env_value, logs --component gateway matches plugins.platforms.*,
matrix hidden on Windows).
Additionally ports config keys main added since the PR base: the matrix
plugin's _apply_yaml_config now also covers allowed_users,
ignore_user_patterns, process_notices, and session_scope (the inline
gateway/config.py matrix block gained these in the 1340 commits the PR sat
open; they would otherwise have been silently dropped on deletion).
