* fix(matrix): register MembershipEventDispatcher for invite auto-join
The mautrix migration (#7518) broke auto-join because InternalEventType.INVITE
events are only dispatched when MembershipEventDispatcher is registered on the
client. Without it, _on_invite is dead code and the bot silently ignores all
room invites.
Closes#10094Closes#10725

* fix(matrix): preserve _joined_rooms reference for CryptoStateStore
connect() reassigned self._joined_rooms = set(...) after initial sync,
orphaning the reference captured by _CryptoStateStore at init time.
find_shared_rooms() returned [] forever, breaking Megolm session rotation
on membership changes.
Mutate in place with clear() + update() so the CryptoStateStore reference
stays valid.

* fix(matrix): remove dual ROOM_ENCRYPTED handler to fix dedup race
mautrix auto-registers DecryptionDispatcher when client.crypto is set.
The adapter also registered _on_encrypted_event for the same event type.
_on_encrypted_event had zero awaits and won the race to mark event IDs
in the dedup set, causing _on_room_message to drop successfully decrypted
events from DecryptionDispatcher. The retry loop masked this by re-decrypting
every message ~4 seconds later.
Remove _on_encrypted_event entirely. DecryptionDispatcher handles decryption;
genuinely undecryptable events are logged by mautrix and retried on next
key exchange.

* fix(matrix): re-verify device keys after share_keys() upload
Matrix homeservers treat ed25519 identity keys as immutable per device.
share_keys() can return 200 but silently ignore new keys if the device
already exists with different identity keys. The bot would proceed with
shared=True while peers encrypt to the old (unreachable) keys.
Now re-queries the server after share_keys() and fails closed if keys
don't match, with an actionable error message.
Refs #8174, PR #8215
* fix(matrix): encrypt outbound attachments in E2EE rooms
_upload_and_send() uploaded raw bytes and used the 'url' key for all
rooms. In E2EE rooms, media must be encrypted client-side with
encrypt_attachment(), the ciphertext uploaded, and the 'file' key
(with key/iv/hashes) used instead of 'url'.
Now detects encrypted rooms via state_store.is_encrypted() and
branches to the encrypted upload path.
Refs: PR #9822 (charles-brooks)
* fix(matrix): add stop_typing to clear typing indicator after response
The adapter set a 30-second typing timeout but never cleared it.
The base class stop_typing() is a no-op, so the typing indicator
lingered for up to 30 seconds after each response.
Closes#6016
Refs: PR #6020 (r266-tech)
* fix(matrix): cache all media types locally, not just photos/voice
should_cache_locally only covered PHOTO, VOICE, and encrypted media.
Unencrypted audio/video/documents in plaintext rooms were passed as MXC
URLs that require authentication the agent doesn't have, resulting
in 401 errors.
Refs #3487, #3806
* fix(matrix): detect stale OTK conflict on startup and fail closed
When crypto state is wiped but the same device ID is reused, the
homeserver may still hold one-time keys signed with the previous
identity key. Identity key re-upload succeeds but OTK uploads fail
with "already exists" and a signature mismatch. Peers cannot
establish new Olm sessions, so all new messages are undecryptable.
Now proactively flushes OTKs via share_keys() during connect() and
catches the "already exists" error with an actionable log message
telling the operator to purge the device from the homeserver or
generate a fresh device ID.
Also documents the crypto store recovery procedure in the Matrix
setup guide.
Refs #8174
* docs(matrix): improve crypto recovery docs per review
- Put easy path (fresh access token) first, manual purge second
- URL-encode user ID in Synapse admin API example
- Note that device deletion may invalidate the access token
- Add "stop Synapse first" caveat for direct SQLite approach
- Mention the fail-closed startup detection behavior
- Add back-reference from upgrade section to OTK warning
* refactor(matrix): cleanup from code review
- Extract _extract_server_ed25519() and _reverify_keys_after_upload()
to deduplicate the re-verification block (was copy-pasted in two
places, three copies of ed25519 key extraction total)
- Remove dead code: _pending_megolm, _retry_pending_decryptions,
_MAX_PENDING_EVENTS, _PENDING_EVENT_TTL — all orphaned after
removing _on_encrypted_event
- Remove tautological TestMediaCacheGate (tested its own predicate,
not production code)
- Remove dead TestMatrixMegolmEventHandling and
TestMatrixRetryPendingDecryptions (tested removed methods)
- Merge duplicate TestMatrixStopTyping into TestMatrixTypingIndicator
- Trim comment to just the "why"
Adds Google Gemini TTS as the seventh voice provider, with 30 prebuilt
voices (Zephyr, Puck, Kore, Enceladus, Gacrux, etc.) and natural-language
prompt control. Integrates through the existing provider chain:
- tools/tts_tool.py: new _generate_gemini_tts() calls the
generativelanguage REST endpoint with responseModalities=[AUDIO],
wraps the returned 24kHz mono 16-bit PCM (L16) in a WAV RIFF header,
then ffmpeg-converts to MP3 or Opus depending on output extension.
For .ogg output, libopus is forced explicitly so Telegram voice
bubbles get Opus (ffmpeg defaults to Vorbis for .ogg).
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: exposes 'Google Gemini TTS' as a provider
option in the curses-based 'hermes tools' UI.
- hermes_cli/setup.py: adds gemini to the setup wizard picker, tool
status display, and API key prompt branch (accepts existing
GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY, falls back to Edge if neither set).
- tests/tools/test_tts_gemini.py: 15 unit tests covering WAV header
wrap correctness, env var fallback (GEMINI/GOOGLE), voice/model
overrides, snake_case vs camelCase inlineData handling, HTTP error
surfacing, and empty-audio edge cases.
- docs: TTS features page updated to list seven providers with the new
gemini config block and ffmpeg notes.
Live-tested against api key against gemini-2.5-flash-preview-tts: .wav,
.mp3, and Telegram-compatible .ogg (Opus codec) all produce valid
playable audio.
llm-wiki was the only shipped skill using metadata.hermes.config, which
caused 'hermes update' and 'hermes config migrate' to prompt for a wiki
directory on every run — even for users who have never touched the skill
— because 'enabled' is opt-out (all shipped skills count as enabled unless
explicitly disabled). Declining the prompt didn't persist anything, so
the nag fired again on every update.
Switch llm-wiki to the env var + runtime default pattern that obsidian and
google-workspace already use: WIKI_PATH env var, default $HOME/wiki. No
prompting infrastructure, no config.yaml touch, no nag loop.
Changes:
- skills/research/llm-wiki/SKILL.md: remove metadata.hermes.config,
document WIKI_PATH env var in the Wiki Location section, update the
orientation snippet and initialization guidance.
- Docs: replace llm-wiki's wiki.path examples with a generic 'myplugin.path'
placeholder across configuration.md, features/skills.md, and
creating-skills.md so users don't try to set skills.config.wiki.path
expecting llm-wiki to use it.
- skills-catalog.md: mention WIKI_PATH instead of skills.config.wiki.path.
E2E verified: discover_all_skill_config_vars() and get_missing_skill_config_vars()
both return 0 entries after this change, so the prompt branch in migrate_config()
no longer fires.
The metadata.hermes.config feature stays in place for third-party skills
that genuinely need structured config, but built-ins now prefer env vars.
- 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
* 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
* docs: add missing pages to sidebar navigation

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.

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.).
Gold #FFD700 has 1.4:1 contrast ratio on white — barely visible.
Replace with dark amber palette (#8B6508 primary, #7A5800 links)
that passes WCAG AA (5.3:1 and 6.5:1 respectively).
Changes:
- :root primary palette → dark amber tones for light mode
- Explicit light mode link colors (#7A5800 / #5A4100 hover)
- Light mode sidebar active state with amber accent
- Light mode table header/border styling
- Footer hover color split by theme (gold for dark, amber for light)
Dark mode is completely unchanged.

Users are confused about the difference between `hermes model` (terminal
command for full provider setup) and `/model` (session command for switching
between already-configured providers). This distinction was not documented
anywhere.
Changes across 4 doc pages:
- cli-commands.md: Added warning callout explaining the difference, added
--global flag docs, added 'only see OpenRouter models?' info box
- slash-commands.md: Added notes on both TUI and messaging /model entries
that /model only switches between configured providers
- providers.md: Added 'Two Commands for Model Management' comparison table
near top of page, added warning callout in switching section
- faq.md: Added new FAQ entry '/model only shows one provider' with quick
reference table
Prompted by user feedback in Discord — new users consistently hit this
confusion when trying to add providers from inside a session.
Update the Termux guide to mention that the browser tool now
automatically discovers Termux directories, and add the missing
pkg install nodejs-lts step.
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.
* feat(skills): add fitness-nutrition skill to optional-skills
Cherry-picked from PR #9177 by @haileymarshall.
Adds a fitness and nutrition skill for gym-goers and health-conscious users:
- Exercise search via wger API (690+ exercises, free, no auth)
- Nutrition lookup via USDA FoodData Central (380K+ foods, DEMO_KEY fallback)
- Offline body composition calculators (BMI, TDEE, 1RM, macros, body fat %)
- Pure stdlib Python, no pip dependencies
Changes from original PR:
- Moved from skills/ to optional-skills/health/ (correct location)
- Fixed BMR formula in FORMULAS.md (removed confusing -5+10, now just +5)
- Fixed author attribution to match PR submitter
- Marked USDA_API_KEY as optional (DEMO_KEY works without signup)
Also adds optional env var support to the skill readiness checker:
- New 'optional: true' field in required_environment_variables entries
- Optional vars are preserved in metadata but don't block skill readiness
- Optional vars skip the CLI capture prompt flow
- Skills with only optional missing vars show as 'available' not 'setup_needed'
* docs: add automation templates gallery and comparison post
- New docs page: guides/automation-templates.md with 15+ ready-to-use
automation recipes covering development workflow, devops, research,
GitHub events, and business operations
- Comparison post (hermes-already-has-routines.md) showing Hermes has
had schedule/webhook/API triggers since March 2026
- Added automation-templates to sidebar navigation

- 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

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,

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
