build_skills_system_prompt() already resolved _platform_hint but called
get_disabled_skill_names() with no argument, so the resolved platform never
reached the filter and the prompt cache_key varied by platform while the
disabled set did not. Pass _platform_hint or None.
get_disabled_skill_names() also fully ignored the global 'disabled' list once
a platform-specific list was found. Return the union (global | platform) so a
globally-disabled skill stays disabled on every platform.

ES2023 bump is intentionally dropped (one concern per PR).
Port 465 expects implicit TLS (SMTP_SSL) from the first byte. The email
adapter always used SMTP() + starttls(), which is correct for port 587
but hangs/fails on port 465 providers (e.g., Swiss ISPs).
Additionally, when the SMTP host has AAAA DNS records but IPv6 is
unreachable, socket.create_connection() tries IPv6 first and hangs
until timeout. Add an IPv4 fallback via AF_INET socket.
Extract _connect_smtp() helper to consolidate the 4 duplicate SMTP
connection sites into a single method with correct protocol selection
and IPv6 fallback logic.
The initial fix only wrote the prefix npmrc on a fresh Node install, so
pre-existing bundled-Node installs (Node already present) were not repaired
by re-running the installer — install_node/ensure_node skip when Node is
already up to date.
Extract the redirect into an idempotent helper
(configure_managed_node_npm_prefix / _nb_configure_npm_prefix) that no-ops
when there's no Hermes-managed npm, and call it unconditionally from
check_node (install.sh) and at the top of ensure_node (node-bootstrap.sh).
Re-running the install command now repairs an affected install in place,
not just brand-new ones.
Guards that install.sh and node-bootstrap.sh redirect the bundled Node's
npm global prefix to the command link dir's parent via a prefix-local
global npmrc, so `npm install -g` binaries land on PATH instead of the
off-PATH $HERMES_HOME/node/bin.
Gateway startup now queues real inbound messages until restart-interrupted auto-resume turns have completed, preventing duplicate agents for the same session after a restart.
When profile isolation activates ({HERMES_HOME}/home/ exists), child
processes receive HOME={HERMES_HOME}/home/ for tool config isolation
(git, ssh, gh). However, scripts using Path.home() to locate
~/.hermes/ would incorrectly resolve to the isolated profile home,
breaking helpers that rely on the real user home directory.
New get_real_home() helper in hermes_constants resolves the actual
user home independently of profile isolation. All four subprocess
spawners now inject HERMES_REAL_HOME alongside the profile HOME:
- tools/code_execution_tool.py (execute_code)
- tools/environments/local.py (terminal background, run_env)
- agent/copilot_acp_client.py (Copilot ACP)
Child scripts can now use:
Path(os.environ.get("HERMES_REAL_HOME", os.environ.get("HOME", "")))
to reliably find the real user home regardless of profile isolation.

A chat-completions response that carries real text or tool calls *alongside*
a `message.refusal` note is a normal, usable turn — the model did work. The
prior logic flipped finish_reason to `content_filter` whenever a refusal
string was present, so the conversation loop reframed a content-bearing turn
as a *failed* safety refusal (failed=True) and buried the model's actual
output inside the "model declined" template, or dropped tool calls entirely.
Only promote to a terminal `content_filter` when the refusal is the sole
payload (no visible text AND no tool calls). The refusal explanation is still
recorded in provider_data in every case for observability. Refusal-only
responses (the bug this feature targets) are unaffected and still surface
terminally; the empty+refusal, bare content_filter passthrough, and no-refusal
common cases are byte-identical to before.
Updates the partial-content test to the corrected contract and adds a
tool_calls-alongside-refusal regression guard.
OpenRouter (and every other OpenAI-compatible provider) uses the default
chat_completions transport, so it is already covered by the refusal fix:
an upstream Claude / moderation refusal arrives as
finish_reason="content_filter" (often empty content, no message.refusal).
Add a regression test asserting the transport passes that finish reason
straight through to the loop's content_filter handler.
(cherry picked from commit 60168a513b)
A Claude refusal (HTTP 200, stop_reason="refusal", empty content) was
laundered into a generic retry loop and surfaced as a misleading
"rate limited / invalid response" or "no content after retries" error,
burning paid attempts reproducing a deterministic refusal.
This hit two distinct paths:
- Direct Anthropic (anthropic_messages): validate_response rejected the
empty-content refusal *before* normalize_response mapped refusal ->
content_filter, so it fell into the invalid-response retry loop.
- Nous Portal / OpenAI-compatible (chat_completions): the portal surfaces
a Claude refusal via message.refusal with empty content, which sailed
past validation and died in the empty-response retry loop.
Fix (one unified content_filter dispatch for all backends):
- AnthropicTransport.validate_response: accept empty content when
stop_reason == "refusal" so it flows to normalize_response.
- ChatCompletionsTransport.normalize_response: promote message.refusal to
content + a content_filter finish reason.
- conversation_loop: handle finish_reason == "content_filter" - fire the
api_request_error hook (content_policy_blocked), try a configured
fallback once, else return a clear terminal refusal message. Never retry
a deterministic refusal.
Supersedes #43084, which fixed only the direct-Anthropic path and could
not reach the chat_completions/portal path.
Tests: transport-level (validate_response refusal, message.refusal
promotion) + end-to-end loop (refusal surfaced, exactly one API call).
(cherry picked from commit 01f546f92c)
Parse provider-reported image pixel ceilings so many-image Anthropic requests can recover by shrinking Retina screenshots below the stricter limit instead of retrying the same rejected payload.
Both the regular and execute_code dispatch paths forward task_id into
registry.dispatch via middleware _dispatch lambdas but silently dropped
session_id. Dispatch-layer hooks (e.g. set_enforcement_fn) that correlate
calls with the active session received "" for every invocation.
Pass session_id=session_id at both _dispatch call sites inside
handle_function_call, matching the existing task_id pattern. Hooks
already received session_id; this closes the registry.dispatch gap.
Rebased onto current main where dispatch is wrapped by
run_tool_execution_middleware — the old direct-dispatch sites from
#28479 no longer exist.
test(dispatch): add tests for session_id forwarding (NousResearch#28479)
Covers standard and execute_code paths through the middleware wrapper.
Verifies task_id forwarding is not broken by the change.
The previous test patched ssl.create_default_context globally with a bare
SSLContext that has zero CA certs. Both verify_ca_bundle() and the macOS
fallback got the same mocked context, so the test verified nothing useful:
both paths produced empty get_ca_certs() and the assertion that no
exception escaped was vacuously satisfied.
Only mock the fallback call (no cafile) — let the certifi call hit the
real SSL stack and fail with SSLError on the broken PEM. The mock
fallback returns a context with load_default_certs() so the test now
verifies the real scenario: broken certifi → SSLConfigurationError,
macOS system trust store → success.
Also pads the broken PEM past the 1 KB size guard so the size check
doesn't short-circuit before ssl.create_default_context(cafile=...) runs.

A stale certifi CA bundle after a partial `hermes update` used to crash
the agent on the first outbound HTTPS call with a raw traceback and
trap the gateway in a retry loop.
This patch:
* Adds `agent/errors.py` with a typed `SSLConfigurationError`
* Adds `agent/ssl_guard.py` with a `verify_ca_bundle()` pre-flight
that asserts the bundle exists, is non-trivial in size, and can build
a working SSLContext. On macOS, it falls back to the system trust
store when the bundle is empty but the system store is healthy
(covers corporate proxies / MDM setups).
* Wires the guard into `run_agent.py` and `gateway/run.py` right
after the `hermes_bootstrap` import, inside a try/except so a bug
in the guard itself can never prevent startup.
* Adds a `SSL / CA Certificates` section to `hermes_cli doctor` so
users can detect the failure with one command.
* Adds unit tests covering the healthy, missing, empty, skip-env, and
macOS-fallback paths.
* Adds an RCA document describing the failure mode and the recovery
path (`pip install -e .`).
When the bundle is broken the user sees:
\u26a0\ufe0f SSL certificate bundle issue detected.
Run: pip install -e .
`HERMES_SKIP_SSL_GUARD=1` disables the check for sandboxed
environments that ship their own trust store.
Three tests covering: a stale .bak poisoning a failed update's move/restore, an orphaned .bak misread as a user deletion, and a partially written dest blocking restore-on-failure. All three fail on current main without the fix.
