feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime

Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.

Lands in three pieces:

1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
   for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
   handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
   request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
   reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
   development.

2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
   - Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
   - Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
     end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
     'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
     provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
     rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).

3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
   covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
   case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
   parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
   CLI installed.

This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.

Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)

* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review

The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.

Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
  - userMessage          → {role: user, content}
  - agentMessage         → {role: assistant, content: text}
  - reasoning            → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
  - commandExecution     → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
  - fileChange           → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
  - mcpToolCall          → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
  - dynamicToolCall      → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
  - plan/hookPrompt/etc  → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls

Invariants preserved:
  - Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
    one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
  - Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
    don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
    Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
  - Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
    identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
  - JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.

Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).

23 new tests, all green:
  - Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
  - Turn/thread frame events are silent
  - commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
    deterministic id stability across replays
  - agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
  - fileChange: summary without inlined content
  - mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
  - userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
  - opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
  - Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
  - Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types

This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.

* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge

The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.

The adapter has a single public per-turn method:

    result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
    # result.final_text          → assistant text for the caller
    # result.projected_messages  → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
    # result.tool_iterations     → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
    # result.interrupted         → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
    # result.error               → error string when the turn cannot complete
    # result.turn_id, thread_id  → for sessions DB / resume

Behavior:

  - ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
    issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
  - run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
    requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
    deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
    projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
  - request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
    iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
  - turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
    error if the turn never completes.
  - close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.

Approval bridge:

  Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
  applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
  vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:

    Hermes 'once'                → codex 'approved'
    Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
    Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'

  Routing precedence:
    1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
    2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
       tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
    3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired

  Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
  so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.

Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
    Hermes 'auto'              → codex 'workspace-write'
    Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
    Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'

20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
  - test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
  - test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
  - test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)

Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.

Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.

* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent

The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.

Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):

1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
   Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
   passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.

2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
   Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
   'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
   logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
   and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
   manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
   identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
   flag is off.

3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
   New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
   CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
   turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
   _iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
   loop normally does that per iteration), fires
   _spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.

Counter accounting:

  _turns_since_memory  ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
                         (gated on memory store configured) — codex
                         helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
  _user_turn_count     ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
                         — codex helper does NOT touch it.
  _iters_since_skill   ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
                         tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
                         turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.

User message:

  ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
  before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
  Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.

Approval callback wiring:

  Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
  spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
  prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
  the codex-side fail-closed deny.

Error path:

  Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
  and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
  'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
  /codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
  path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.

9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
  - api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
  - run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
    (final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
  - Projected messages are spliced into messages list
  - _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
  - _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
  - User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
  - _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
  - chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
  - Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
  - Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved

Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
  - tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green

Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)

User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.

Surface:
    /codex-runtime                    — show current state + codex CLI status
    /codex-runtime auto               — Hermes default runtime
    /codex-runtime codex_app_server   — codex subprocess runtime
    /codex-runtime on / off           — synonyms

Files changed:

  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
    Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
    read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
    behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
    they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
    Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
    suits their surface.

  hermes_cli/commands.py:
    Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).

  cli.py:
    Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
    delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.

  gateway/run.py:
    Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
    returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
    that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
    inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
    avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.

  gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
    /codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
    flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.

Tests:
  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
  state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
  synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
  writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
  no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
  and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.

Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
    167/167 green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits

Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml

Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.

The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.

What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env  → codex stdio transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers       → codex streamable_http transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout           → codex tool_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout   → codex startup_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd               → codex stdio cwd
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false    → codex enabled = false

What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
  Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
  equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.

What's NOT migrated (intentional):
  AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
  AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
  it up without translation. No code needed.

Idempotency design:
  All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
  and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
  removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
  codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
  or below.

Files added:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
    helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
    dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
    .skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
    formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
  covering:
    - per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
      enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
    - TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
    - existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
      above, with user content below
    - end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
      re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
      summary formatting

Files changed:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
    the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
    in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
    path (auto) explicitly skips migration.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
    test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
    test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.

All 325 feature tests green:
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
  - tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)

* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()

Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.

Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.

Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.

Two regression-guard tests added:
  - test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
  - test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1

Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test

Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.

Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format

Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
  {"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.

Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.

Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.

Bug 2: server-request method names

Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)

Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.

Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.

Bug 3: approval decision values

Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
  accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).

Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.

Live test verified after fixes:
  $ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
  > Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
    then read it back

  Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
  User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
  read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
  hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.

agent.log confirms:
  codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
                                    cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace

All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs

Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.

Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.

Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
  ✓ thread/start handshake
  ✓ turn/start with text input
  ✓ commandExecution items + projection
  ✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
  ✓ Approve once → command runs
  ✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
  ✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
  ✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
  ✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
  ✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
    'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
  ✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
  ✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
  ✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
  ✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
    even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)

Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
  - delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
  - permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
  - apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
    doesn't expose it)

145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.

* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)

Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)

Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.

Implementation:
  - hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
    helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
    (plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
    'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
  - _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
    [permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
    re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.

Quirk fixes:

#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
   Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
   triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
   'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
   default_permission_profile=None to opt out.

#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
   Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
   Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
   notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
   Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
   'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.

   Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
   server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
   when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
   loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.

#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
   When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
   back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
   '<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.

   Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
   it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.

#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
   New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
   codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
   on. Default banner is unchanged.

Tests:
  - 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
    flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
    enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
    apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
  - All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.

* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration

The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.

Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.

New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
  FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
  through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
  Hermes default runtime. Run with:
    python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]

  Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
    _press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
    _vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
    text_to_speech.

  NOT exposed (deliberately):
    - terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
    - delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
      model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
      as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.

Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
  - _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
    plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
    non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
    AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
    the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
    contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
    default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
    — must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
  - _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
    HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
    Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.

Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
  1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
     for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
     profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
     ':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
     which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
     struct PermissionProfileToml'.
  2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
     rejected  with 'unknown built-in profile'.
  3. Codex's MCP layer sends  for
     tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
     and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
     our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
     the runtime), decline for third-party servers.

Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
  #2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
     approval prompt on every write.
  #4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
     items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
     item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:
     /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of '0 change(s)'.
  #5/#10 exec approval cwd never empty: fall back to session cwd, then
     '<unknown>'. Also surfaces 'reason' from codex when present.
  #11 banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line when active so
     users understand why tool counts may not match what's reachable.

Tests:
  - 5 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
    re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
    approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
  - 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
    hermes-tools, decline others).
  - New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
    surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
    no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.
  - 166 codex-runtime tests total, all green.

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
  Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
  callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
  separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
  reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
  list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.

* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6

Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.

This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.

Now explicitly tested:
  - User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
  - User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
  - Both above + below survive a second re-migration
  - User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
    region is left untouched

Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.

167 codex-runtime tests, all green.

* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find

Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.

Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).

Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:

  1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
     update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
     adjacent.
  2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
     install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
  3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
     web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
     image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.

Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.

Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.

Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.

No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade

Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.

Bug 1: wrong call signature

The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
  messages_snapshot=list   (positional or keyword)
  review_memory=bool       (at least one trigger must be True)
  review_skills=bool

So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.

Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode

The review fork is constructed with:
  api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')

So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.

Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).

Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
  - Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
    being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
  - Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
    counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
  - Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
    review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
  - Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
    that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.

Tests:

  Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
  asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
    - test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
      single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
      caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
    - test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
      10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
      messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
    - test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
      asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
      messages_snapshot

  New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
    - test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
      real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
      asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
      the parent was codex_app_server.

Live-validated against real run_conversation:
  - Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
  - _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
  - review_skills=True, review_memory=False
  - messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
    results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
  - Counter reset to 0 after fire

170 codex-runtime tests, all green.

Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).

* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback

Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.

That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.

Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.

Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.

Tools exposed:
  Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
    kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
  Read-only board queries:
    kanban_show, kanban_list
  Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
    kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link

Tests:
  - test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
    in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
  - test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link

Docs:
  - New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
    kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
  - /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
    approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
    the default :workspace permission profile)
  - Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
    why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
    to the MCP server subprocess
  - Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
    CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
  - Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
    orchestrator

172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).

* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost

Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:

1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
   slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
   the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
   slash command syntax.

2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
   CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
   honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
   propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
   so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
   manually' since it's an internal handoff.

3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
   codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
   task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
   session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
   fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.

   This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
   more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
   subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
   subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
   example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
   model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).

   Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
   auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
   fix earlier in this PR.

No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.

* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME

OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.

Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:

  test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
                                  in the subprocess env
  test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
                                                  arg still isolates
                                                  codex state correctly

Docs additions:

  'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
  contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
  stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
  Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.

  'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
  related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
  want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
  documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.

  Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
  would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
  upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
  Opt-in is safer than surprising users.

174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.

* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write

Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.

Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped

The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.

Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.

Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.

Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic

If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.

Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.

Tests:
  - test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
  - test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
  - test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
  - test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
  - test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
    left over after a successful write
  - test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
    when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)

180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).

Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):

- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
  /codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
  cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
  enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
  migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
  worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
  consistent — only the merge step is racy.

- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
  check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
  the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
  breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
  on CI before users hit it.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends

One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the
image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry,
plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced
through hermes tools.

Surface (one schema, every backend):
- operation: generate / edit / extend
- modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt +
  image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url)
- reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution,
  negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override
- Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via
  VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the
  backend, the agent learns one tool

Backends shipped:
- plugins/video_gen/xai/  — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend +
  image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by
  @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface)
- plugins/video_gen/fal/  — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v,
  Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a
  model doesn't declare

Wiring:
- agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation,
  success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video,
  $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/
- agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list +
  get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml
- hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider()
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in
  hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin,
  config write to video_gen.{provider,model}
- toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset
- tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins
- docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the
  image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated

Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse),
#10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984
(FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin
interface).

* feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities

Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a
static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the
video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions()
time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model.

The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front:
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is
  REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected'
- 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown
- xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7
  reference_image_urls'
- Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface
  that they need to switch backends via hermes tools'

This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping —
documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is
free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a
mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically.

Tested:
- Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models
  require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side
  rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted
  round-trip
- Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean
  missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches
- 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface /
  text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing
- 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set

* test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema

Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode
from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video,
reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without
prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint
(/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right
payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five
client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt,
extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and
duration/aspect_ratio clamping.

15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing,
modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake
AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload
the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope.

Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations
match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate
'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads:

    Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video
    - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate
    - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16
    - resolution choices: 480p, 720p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images

* feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing

Two design changes per Teknium:

1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video
and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two
modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints
stay out of the unified schema.

2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the
family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether
image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND
'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick
'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest.

Catalog rewritten as families:

    veo3.1            fal-ai/veo3.1                                /  fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    pixverse-v6       fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video             /  fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video
    kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video /  fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video

xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes,
routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no
edit/extend exposure.

Schema changes:
- VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params:
  prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration,
  aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model.
- VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS,
  DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key.
- success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the
  agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit.

Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no
'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active
backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads:

    Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6
    - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video
      (pass image_url) - routes automatically
    - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1
    - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p
    - duration range: 1-15s
    - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier)
    - negative_prompt: supported

Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video
sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image
hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits
image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard.

Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern
as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention.
toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface.

* feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers

Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL:

  Cheap tier:
    ltx-2.3        fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video       / image-to-video
    pixverse-v6    fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video       / image-to-video

  Premium tier:
    veo3.1         fal-ai/veo3.1                          / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video
    seedance-2.0   bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video   / image-to-video
    kling-v3-4k    fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video
    happy-horse    fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video       / image-to-video

DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane
defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't
explicitly picked a model.

New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video
endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring
image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload
remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url.

Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs:
- LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution
  enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults)
- Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported,
  negative prompts NOT supported per docs
- Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative
- Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s

Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K
start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy
Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green.

Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes
already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing
the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface
without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should
use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available.

* test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality

End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the
actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes
config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then
asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right
payload shape.

Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new
families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get
both modalities tested for free).

Coverage:
- All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases
- xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases
- tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases

For each case, verifies:
- result['success'] is True
- result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise)
- outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint
- text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys
- text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most,
  start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI)

All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every
(provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage.

* feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status

Two changes:

1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in
   the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow —
   most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone
   who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which
   already routes to the provider+model picker.

2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only
   shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without
   FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of
   those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired.

Verified live:
- Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard.
- With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name.
- 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice.

Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative
tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long
wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better.

fix(setup): drop post-setup chat handoff (#25067)
Removes the 'Launch hermes chat now? (Y/n)' prompt at the end of
hermes setup. The summary already prints 'Ready to go! → hermes'
so the auto-launch was redundant, and on macOS 26+ it could crash
in prompt_toolkit when setup was invoked from the curl install
script with stdin redirected from /dev/tty (#5884, #6128).

After setup, users run 'hermes' themselves like every other CLI
tool. Same pattern applies to the Windows installer.

Closes #6128 (narrower env-var-guarded fix superseded by removing
the prompt outright).

6f2d1c88b7 feat(custom): prompt and persist explicit api_mode for custom providers
Adds an explicit API compatibility mode prompt to the `hermes model -> custom`
flow so Codex-compatible third-party endpoints (and any other non-default
backend whose URL doesn't match the existing heuristics in
`_detect_api_mode_for_url`) can be selected explicitly instead of silently
falling back to chat_completions.

Choices: Auto-detect / chat_completions / codex_responses / anthropic_messages.

Persists `api_mode` to:
  - `model.api_mode` (active session config)
  - the matching `custom_providers[*]` entry (so re-activating the named
    provider next time replays the same transport)

Salvaged from PR #6125 onto current main: kept the new prompt and the
`_save_custom_provider(api_mode=...)` plumbing; the named-custom flow
already extracts and applies `api_mode` from the saved entry on current
main so those changes are preserved as-is. Test fixtures updated for the
new prompt and the existing display-name prompt.

a43d7e67b4 refactor(profiles): remove dead generate_bash_completion / generate_zsh_completion
These two functions in hermes_cli/profiles.py have no callers — the live
`hermes completion {bash,zsh}` command uses hermes_cli/completion.py's
generate_bash() / generate_zsh() instead. Multiple PRs (incl. #6141) tried
to fix the trailing-`_hermes "$@"` zsh bug here, only to discover the
patch never reached users. Delete the dead code so future contributors
patch the right file.

The actual user-facing fix lives in the preceding cherry-picked commits

71c6dd0dcf fix(cli): add 'lsp' to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery is skipped
`lsp` is registered as a top-level subparser in `main()` (lines 9539-9545)
via `agent.lsp.cli.register_subparser`, so it shows up in `hermes --help`
output alongside the other built-ins. The `_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS` set used
by `_plugin_cli_discovery_needed` to short-circuit the ~500-650ms plugin
import pass did not list it, so every `hermes lsp ...` invocation paid
the full discovery cost despite being a fully-built-in command.

This is also caught by the parity guard added in #22120:
`tests/hermes_cli/test_startup_plugin_gating.py::test_builtin_set_covers_every_registered_subcommand`
has been failing on clean origin/main with:

    AssertionError: _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS is missing these live
    subcommands: ['lsp']. Add them to hermes_cli/main.py::_BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS
    so plugin discovery can be skipped when the user targets them.

Fix: add `"lsp"` to the frozenset (alphabetical position between `logs`
and `mcp`). The accompanying `test_builtin_set_has_no_phantom_entries`
guard still passes because `lsp` is genuinely live — registered via the
guarded `try/except Exception` in main() since #24168.

* feat(nous): unified client=hermes-client-v<version> tag on every Portal request

Every Hermes request to Nous Portal now carries the same
client=hermes-client-v<__version__> tag (e.g. client=hermes-client-v0.13.0
on this release), sourced live from hermes_cli.__version__. The release
script's regex bump auto-aligns it on every release.

Centralized in agent/portal_tags.py and wired into all four call sites:
- NousProfile.build_extra_body (main agent loop, every chat completion)
- auxiliary_client.NOUS_EXTRA_BODY + _build_call_kwargs (aux client)
- run_agent.py compression-summary fallback path
- tools/web_tools.py web_extract fallback

Replaces the client=aux marker added in #24194 with the unified version
tag. Tests assert against the helper output (invariant) rather than the
literal string, so they don't need updating on every release.

* feat(nous): cover /goal judge and kanban specify aux paths

Two aux-using surfaces bypassed call_llm by invoking
client.chat.completions.create() directly without extra_body, so they
were missing the unified Portal client tag:

- hermes_cli/goals.py — /goal standing-goal judge
- hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py — kanban triage specifier

Both now pass extra_body=get_auxiliary_extra_body() or None so they
inherit the version tag when the aux client points at Nous Portal, and
emit nothing otherwise (no tag leak to OpenRouter/Anthropic auxes).

fix(cache): kill long-lived prefix layout — system prompt is now byte-static within a session (#24778)
The long-lived prefix-cache layout split the system prompt into stable/
context/volatile blocks and re-derived them on every API call. The
volatile tier (timestamp + memory snapshot + USER profile) ticks per
turn, so the system message bytes mutated mid-conversation and broke
upstream prompt caches (OpenRouter, Nous Portal, Anthropic).

Diagnosed via live wire-format diffing: an 8-turn conversation showed
OLD layout flipping system block[1] sha mid-session at the minute
boundary, dropping cached_tokens to 0 on that turn (cumulative
66.6% vs 83.3% for the single-block layout). Hermes invariant:
history (system + all but the last 1-2 messages) must be static.

Fix: drop the long-lived layout entirely. Single layout everywhere —
system_and_3 with one cached system string built once on first turn,
replayed verbatim on every subsequent turn. Loses cross-session 1h
prefix caching for Claude (the feature that motivated the split), but
within-session caching now actually works on every provider.

Removed:
- run_agent.py: _use_long_lived_prefix_cache flag, _long_lived_cache_ttl,
  _supports_long_lived_anthropic_cache method, the long-lived branch in
  run_conversation, mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache call site
- agent/prompt_caching.py: apply_anthropic_cache_control_long_lived,
  mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache, _mark_system_stable_block helper

a33ec10874 fix(cli): @-file completion crash on Windows when paths aren't cp1252-decodable
The fuzzy @-file completer shells out to 'rg --files' via subprocess.run
with text=True. On Windows, Python 3.13 decodes stdout using the system
ANSI codepage (cp1252), so any filename containing bytes like 0x81/0x8f
crashes the background reader thread with UnicodeDecodeError. The
exception is swallowed inside subprocess, leaving proc.stdout=None, and
the next line ('proc.stdout.strip()') blows up with:

  AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

This takes down the prompt_toolkit event loop and forces 'Press ENTER to
continue' until the user clears the @-query.

Fix:
- Pass encoding='utf-8', errors='replace' so rg's UTF-8 output is decoded
  consistently across platforms and unmappable bytes don't crash.
- Guard 'proc.stdout' with a None check before .strip(), so a future
  reader-thread failure degrades gracefully instead of breaking input.

e3858772d0 fix(dashboard): skip browser-open on headless Linux to prevent process exit
Fixes #24127

On headless Linux VPS (no DISPLAY or WAYLAND_DISPLAY), some Python
webbrowser backends register TUI programs such as links, lynx, or
www-browser.  GenericBrowser.open() spawns these without redirecting
stdin/stdout, allowing them to take over the terminal.  This can cause
the process to receive SIGHUP and exit immediately even though uvicorn
bound the port successfully, producing a misleading success message
followed by an empty --status.

Fix: detect headless Linux at startup and skip the auto-open when no
display server is available.  On such systems the URL is still printed
so the user can open it manually or via an SSH tunnel.  The webbrowser
call is also wrapped in a try/except so any unexpected failure on other
platforms is silently absorbed rather than surfacing as an unhandled
exception in the daemon thread.

Built-in commands with required args (e.g. /queue, /steer, /background)
were excluded from Telegram setMyCommands output, making them invisible
in the autocomplete menu. However, their handlers already return usage
text when invoked without arguments, so hiding them hurts discoverability.

This commit removes the _requires_argument filter for built-in commands
(COMMAND_REGISTRY) while keeping it for plugin-registered slash commands,
which may not provide a no-arg usage fallback.

feat(gateway): wire clarify tool with inline keyboard buttons on Telegram (#24199)
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.

Changes:

- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
  tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
  with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
  slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
  clear_session for boundary cleanup.

- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
  fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
  etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
  bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
  non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
  of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
  deadlock fix from PR #4926.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
  inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
  handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
  mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
  approvals.

- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
  callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
  hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
  via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
  returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
  the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
  intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
  (skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
  to cancel any orphan entries.

- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.

- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
  section.

Tests:

- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
  coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
  None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
  ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.

- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
  paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
  callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
  unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.

Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes #24191.

feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch (#24168)
* feat(lsp): semantic diagnostics from real language servers in write_file/patch

Wire ~26 language servers (pyright, gopls, rust-analyzer, typescript-language-server,
clangd, bash-language-server, ...) into the post-write lint check used by write_file
and patch. The model now sees type errors, undefined names, missing imports, and
project-wide semantic issues introduced by its edits, not just syntax errors.

LSP is gated on git workspace detection: when the agent's cwd or the file being
edited is inside a git worktree, LSP runs against that workspace; otherwise the
existing in-process syntax checks are the only tier. This keeps users on
user-home cwds (Telegram/Discord gateway chats) from spawning daemons.

The post-write check is layered: in-process syntax check first (microseconds),
then LSP semantic diagnostics second when syntax is clean. Diagnostics are
delta-filtered against a baseline captured at write start, so the agent only
sees errors its edit introduced. A flaky/missing language server can never
break a write -- every LSP failure path falls back silently to the syntax-only
result.

New module agent/lsp/ split into:

- protocol.py: Content-Length JSON-RPC framer + envelope helpers
- client.py: async LSPClient (spawn, initialize, didOpen/didChange,
  ContentModified retry, push/pull diagnostic stores)
- workspace.py: git worktree walk-up + per-server NearestRoot resolver
- servers.py: registry of 26 language servers (extension match,
  root resolver, spawn builder per language)
- install.py: auto-install dispatch (npm install --prefix, go install
  with GOBIN, pip install --target) into HERMES_HOME/lsp/bin/
- manager.py: LSPService (per-(server_id, root) client registry, lazy
  spawn, broken-set, in-flight dedupe, sync facade for tools layer)
- reporter.py: <diagnostics> block formatter (severity-1-only, 20-per-file)
- cli.py: hermes lsp {status,list,install,install-all,restart,which}

Wired into tools/file_operations.py:

- write_file/patch_replace now call _snapshot_lsp_baseline before write
- _check_lint_delta gains a third tier: LSP semantic diagnostics when
  syntax is clean
- All LSP code paths swallow exceptions; write_file's contract unchanged

Config: 'lsp' section in DEFAULT_CONFIG with enabled (default true),
wait_mode, wait_timeout, install_strategy (default 'auto'), and per-server
overrides (disabled, command, env, initialization_options).

Tests: tests/agent/lsp/ -- 49 tests covering protocol framing (encode and
read_message round-trip, EOF/truncation/missing Content-Length), workspace
gate (git walk-up, exclude markers, fallback to file location), reporter
(severity filter, max-per-file cap, truncation), service-level delta filter,
and an in-process mock LSP server that exercises the full client lifecycle
including didChange version bumps, dedup, crash recovery, and idempotent
teardown.

Live E2E verified end-to-end through ShellFileOperations: pyright
auto-installed via npm into HERMES_HOME, baseline captured, type error

* feat(lsp): structured logging, backend gate, defensive walk caps

Cherry-picks the substantive ideas from #24155 (different scope, same
problem space) onto our PR.

agent/lsp/eventlog.py (new): dedicated structured logger
``hermes.lint.lsp`` with steady-state silence. Module-level dedup sets
keep a 1000-write session at exactly ONE INFO line ("active for
<root>") at the default INFO threshold; clean writes log at DEBUG so
they never reach agent.log under normal config. State transitions
(server starts, no project root for a file, server unavailable) fire
at INFO/WARNING once per (server_id, key); novel events (timeouts,
unexpected errors) fire WARNING per call. Grep recipe: ``rg 'lsp\\['``.

agent/lsp/manager.py: wire the eventlog into _get_or_spawn and
get_diagnostics_sync so users can answer "did LSP fire on this edit?"
with a single grep, plus surface "binary not on PATH" warnings once
instead of silently retrying every write.

tools/file_operations.py: backend-type gate. ``_lsp_local_only()``
returns False for non-local backends (Docker / Modal / SSH /
Daytona); ``_snapshot_lsp_baseline`` and ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics``
now skip entirely on remote envs. The host-side language server
can't see files inside a sandbox, so this prevents pretending to
lint a file the host process can't open.

agent/lsp/protocol.py: 8 KiB cap on the header block in
``read_message``. A pathological server that streams headers
without ever emitting CRLF-CRLF would have looped forever consuming
bytes; now raises ``LSPProtocolError`` instead.

agent/lsp/workspace.py: 64-step cap on ``find_git_worktree`` and
``nearest_root`` upward walks, plus try/except containment around
``Path(...).resolve()`` and child ``.exists()`` calls. Defensive
against pathological inputs (symlink loops, encoding errors,
permission failures mid-walk) — the lint hook is hot-path code and
must never raise.

Tests:
- tests/agent/lsp/test_eventlog.py: 18 tests covering steady-state
  silence (clean writes stay DEBUG), state-transition INFO-once
  semantics (active for, no project root), action-required
  WARNING-once (server unavailable), per-call WARNING (timeouts,
  spawn failures), and the "1000 clean writes => 1 INFO" contract.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_backend_gate.py: 5 tests verifying
  _lsp_local_only / snapshot_baseline / maybe_lsp_diagnostics skip
  the LSP layer for non-local backends and route correctly for
  LocalEnvironment.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_protocol.py: new test_read_message_rejects_runaway_header
  exercising the 8 KiB cap.

Validation:
- 73/73 LSP tests pass (49 original + 18 eventlog + 5 backend-gate + 1 framer cap)
- 198/198 pass when run alongside existing file_operations tests
- Live E2E re-run with pyright still surfaces "ERROR [2:12] Type
  ... reportReturnType (Pyright)" through the full path, then patch
  fix removes it on the next call.

* feat(lsp): atexit cleanup + separate lsp_diagnostics JSON field

Two improvements salvaged from #24414's plugin-form alternative,
keeping our core-integrated design:

1. atexit cleanup of spawned language servers
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   ``agent/lsp/__init__.get_service`` now registers an ``atexit``
   handler on first creation that tears down the LSPService on
   Python exit.  Without this, every ``hermes chat`` exit was
   leaking pyright/gopls/etc. processes for a few seconds while
   their stdout buffers drained -- they got reaped by the kernel
   eventually but a watchful ``ps aux`` would catch them.

   The handler runs once per process (gated by
   ``_atexit_registered``); idempotent ``shutdown_service``
   ensures double-fire is a no-op.  Errors during shutdown are
   swallowed at debug level since by the time atexit fires the
   user has already seen the agent's final response.

2. Separate ``lsp_diagnostics`` field on WriteResult / PatchResult
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   Previously the LSP layer folded its diagnostic block into the
   ``lint.output`` string, conflating the syntax-check tier with
   the semantic tier.  The agent (and any downstream parsers) now
   read syntax errors and semantic errors as independent signals:

       {
         "bytes_written": 42,
         "lint": {"status": "ok", "output": ""},
         "lsp_diagnostics": "<diagnostics file=...>\nERROR [2:12] ..."
       }

   ``_check_lint_delta`` returns to its original two-tier shape
   (syntax check + delta filter); ``write_file`` and
   ``patch_replace`` independently fetch LSP diagnostics via
   ``_maybe_lsp_diagnostics`` and pass them into the new field.
   ``patch_replace`` propagates the inner write_file's
   ``lsp_diagnostics`` so the outer PatchResult carries the patch's
   delta correctly.

Tests: 19 new
- tests/agent/lsp/test_lifecycle.py (8 tests): atexit registration
  fires once and only once across N get_service calls; the
  registered callable is our internal shutdown wrapper;
  shutdown_service is idempotent and safe when never started;
  exceptions during shutdown are swallowed; inactive service is
  cached so we don't rebuild on every check.
- tests/agent/lsp/test_diagnostics_field.py (11 tests): WriteResult
  / PatchResult dataclass shape, to_dict include/omit semantics,
  channel separation (lint and lsp_diagnostics carry independent
  signals), write_file populates the field via
  _maybe_lsp_diagnostics only when the syntax tier is clean,
  patch_replace propagates the field forward from its internal
  write_file.

Validation:
- 92/92 LSP tests pass (73 prior + 8 lifecycle + 11 diagnostics field)
- 217/217 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Live E2E reverified: clean writes -> both fields empty/none; type
  error introduced -> lint clean (parses), lsp_diagnostics carries
  the pyright reportReturnType block; patch fix -> both fields
  clean again.

* fix(lsp): broken-set short-circuit so a wedged server isn't paid every write

Discovered while auditing failure paths: a language server binary that
hangs (sleep forever, no LSP traffic on stdin/stdout) caused EVERY
subsequent write to re-pay the 8s snapshot_baseline timeout. Five
writes = ~64s of dead time.

The bug: ``_get_or_spawn`` adds the (server_id, root) pair to
``_broken`` inside its inner exception handler, but when the OUTER
``_loop.run`` timeout fires, it cancels the inner task before that
handler runs. The pair never makes it to broken-set, so the next
write re-enters the spawn path and re-pays the timeout.

Fix:

- New ``_mark_broken_for_file`` helper at the service layer marks
  the (server_id, workspace_root) pair broken from the OUTSIDE when
  the outer timeout fires. Called from the except branches in
  ``snapshot_baseline``, ``get_diagnostics_sync`` (asyncio.TimeoutError
  + generic Exception). Also kills any orphan client process that
  survived the cancelled future, fire-and-forget with a 1s ceiling.

- ``enabled_for`` now consults the broken-set BEFORE returning True.
  Files in already-broken (server_id, root) pairs short-circuit to
  False, so the file_operations layer skips the LSP path entirely
  with no spawn cost. Until the service is restarted (``hermes lsp
  restart``) or the process exits.

- A single eventlog WARNING is emitted on first mark-broken so the
  user knows which server gave up. Subsequent edits in the same
  project stay silent.

Tests: 7 new in tests/agent/lsp/test_broken_set.py — covers the
key shape (server_id, per_server_root), enabled_for short-circuit,
sibling-file skip in same project, project isolation (broken in
A doesn't affect B), graceful no-op for missing-server / no-workspace,
and an end-to-end test that snapshots after a failure and verifies
the next ``enabled_for`` returns False.

Validation:

- Live retest of the wedged-binary scenario: 5 sequential writes,
  first 8.88s (the one snapshot timeout), subsequent four ~0.84s
  (no LSP cost). Down from 5x12.85s = 64s before this fix.
- 99/99 LSP tests pass (92 prior + 7 broken-set)
- 224/224 pass with file_operations + LSP combined
- Happy path E2E reverified — clean write, type error introduced,
  patch fix all behave correctly with the new broken-set logic.

Note: the FIRST write to a wedged binary still pays 8s (the
snapshot_baseline timeout). We could shorten that, but pyright/
tsserver normally take 2-3s and slow CI rust-analyzer can need
5+ seconds, so 8s is the conservative ceiling. Subsequent writes
are instant.

fix(install): use --extra all not --all-extras; drop lazy-covered extras from [all] (#24515)
* fix(install): use `--extra all` not `--all-extras`; drop lazy-covered extras from [all]

Two coupled fixes for the Windows install hang where uv sync built
python-olm from sdist and failed on missing make.

# Root cause: --all-extras vs --extra all (credit: ethernet)

`uv sync --all-extras` installs every key in [project.optional-
dependencies], bypassing the curated [all] extra entirely. So even
when [all] excluded [matrix], [rl], [yc-bench], etc., the installer
pulled them anyway because they were still defined as extras. On
Windows that meant python-olm (no wheel, needs make to build from
sdist) and the install died there.

The right flag is `--extra all` — install just the [all] extra's
contents, respecting curation. Empirically verified via dry-run:

  --all-extras: pulls python-olm, mautrix, ctranslate2, onnxruntime,
                atroposlib, tinker, wandb, modal, daytona, vercel,
                python-telegram-bot, discord.py, slack-bolt,
                dingtalk-stream, lark-oapi, anthropic, boto3,
                edge-tts, elevenlabs, exa-py, fal-client, faster-
                whisper, firecrawl-py, honcho-ai, parallel-web
  --extra all:  pulls none of those — just [all]'s curated set

Dockerfile already uses `--extra all` (with comment explaining the
gotcha) — knowledge existed; the gap was install.sh / install.ps1 /
setup-hermes.sh.

Sites fixed: scripts/install.sh L1118, scripts/install.ps1 L809,
setup-hermes.sh L245.

# Companion fix: drop lazy-covered extras from [all]

`tools/lazy_deps.py` already covers anthropic, bedrock, exa,
firecrawl, parallel-web, fal, edge-tts, elevenlabs, modal, daytona,
vercel, all messaging platforms (telegram/discord/slack/matrix/
dingtalk/feishu), honcho, and faster-whisper. They were ALSO in
[all], which defeats the whole point of lazy-install — fresh
installs eager-pulled them and inherited whatever was broken
upstream (the matrix → python-olm → no Windows wheel chain being
the proximate symptom).

[all] now contains only what genuinely can't be lazy-installed:
cron, cli, dev, pty, mcp, homeassistant, sms, acp, google, web,
youtube. Same trim applied to [termux-all]. New regression test
asserts the contract: every extra in LAZY_DEPS must NOT also appear
in [all].

# Companion fix: surface uv progress + errors

setup-hermes.sh's hash-verified path swallowed uv's stderr to a
tempfile, identical to the install.sh bug fixed in PR #24504. Same
fix applied: stream stderr through directly so users see live
progress instead of staring at a frozen prompt.

# Files

- pyproject.toml: trim [all] and [termux-all] to non-lazy extras only.
- scripts/install.sh: --all-extras → --extra all; trim _ALL_EXTRAS /
  _PYPI_EXTRAS to match.
- scripts/install.ps1: --all-extras → --extra all; trim $allExtras /
  $pypiExtras to match.
- setup-hermes.sh: --all-extras → --extra all; stream stderr.
- tests/test_project_metadata.py: invert matrix-in-[all] assertion;
  add lazy-coverage contract test.
- uv.lock: regenerated.

# Validation

5/5 metadata tests pass. 37/37 in update_autostash + tool_token_
estimation. `uv lock --check` passes. Empirical dry-run confirms
`--extra all` excludes python-olm + RL chain on the new lockfile.

* fix(install): parse [all] from pyproject.toml instead of mirroring it

ethernet's review point: the previous patch left two hand-mirrored
copies of [all]'s contents (in install.sh's $_ALL_EXTRAS and
install.ps1's $allExtras). That guarantees future drift the next
time pyproject.toml's [all] changes.

Now both scripts parse pyproject.toml at install time using stdlib
tomllib (Python 3.11+, which the bootstrap step already requires).
Single source of truth. The only purpose of the parsed list is to
build the 'Tier 2: [all] minus broken extras' fallback spec — so we
parse, filter against $brokenExtras, and rebuild the .[a,b,c] spec.

Also: removed redundant fallback tiers.

  Before:   Tier 1 [all]
            Tier 2 [all] minus broken
            Tier 3 PyPI-only extras (no git deps)
            Tier 4 [web,mcp,cron,cli,messaging,dev]
            Tier 5 .

  After:    Tier 1 [all]
            Tier 2 [all] minus broken
            Tier 3 .

Tier 3 (PyPI-only) and Tier 4 (dashboard+core) used to dodge the [rl]
git+sdist deps and the [matrix] python-olm build. Both are no longer
in [all] post-2026-05-12 lazy-install migration, so the carve-out
tiers had no remaining content. Tier 4 also referenced [messaging],
which is now lazy-installed — the hardcoded fallback was actually
inconsistent with the new policy.

Defensive fallback: if tomllib parse fails (corrupted pyproject,
unexpected schema), Tier 2 collapses to '.[all]' (same as Tier 1) so
the broken-extras path becomes a no-op rather than crashing.

* fix(gateway): hide Matrix from setup picker on Windows

Matrix is the one messaging platform that has no working install path
on Windows: [matrix] -> mautrix[encryption] -> python-olm, which has
Linux-only wheels and needs make + libolm to build from sdist. The
[all] cleanup in this PR keeps mautrix out of fresh installs, but a
user who picked Matrix in 'hermes setup gateway' would still walk
into the same sdist build failure when the wizard tried to install
the extra.

Hide the option at the picker so users never get the chance to try.
The gate lives in _all_platforms() — single source of truth for the
setup wizard, the curses gateway-config menu, and any future picker.

Adapter loading at runtime is intentionally NOT gated: users who
already have MATRIX_* env vars set (e.g. config copied from a Linux
install) keep working if they somehow have python-olm available.
This is the lowest-friction fix — picker visibility only.

Tests cover linux/darwin/win32 and verify other platforms aren't
collateral damage.

feat(agent): per-turn file-mutation verifier footer (#24498)
Detect when write_file / patch calls fail during a turn and are never
superseded by a successful write to the same path.  When the final
text response is delivered, append an advisory footer listing the
files that did NOT change — so models that over-claim 'patched 5 files'
after 4 silent failures can't hide the lie.

Catches the failure mode reported in Ben Eng's llm-wiki session:
grok-4.1-fast issued batches of parallel patches, half failed with
'Could not find old_string', and the agent summarised the turn
claiming every file was edited.  The user had to manually run
'git status' each turn to catch it.

The verifier is a pure post-hoc check on tool results — no new LLM
calls, no synthetic messages injected into history (prompt cache
preserved), no changes to tool argument dispatch.  Per-turn state is
keyed by path; a later successful write to the same path clears the
failure entry so single-file retry recovery is not flagged.

Wired into both _execute_tool_calls_concurrent and
_execute_tool_calls_sequential, so batched parallel patches and one-at-
a-time edits are both covered.  Footer emission happens after the
agent loop exits, before transform_llm_output / post_llm_call plugin
hooks run, so plugins still see (and can modify) the augmented text.

Config: display.file_mutation_verifier (bool, default true) +
HERMES_FILE_MUTATION_VERIFIER env override.

31 unit tests in tests/run_agent/test_file_mutation_verifier.py cover
target extraction (write_file, patch-replace, patch-v4a single and
multi-file), error-preview extraction (JSON .error field and plain
string), per-turn state transitions (first-error-wins on repeated
failure, success supersedes failure), footer rendering (truncation
at 10 entries, user-actionable hint), and env/config precedence.

Companion docs updated: user-guide/configuration.md +
reference/environment-variables.md.

feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback (#24220)
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback

Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.

# What this PR makes true

1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
   detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
   they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
   a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
   extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
   lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
   eagerly pulling everything at install time.

# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py

- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
  mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
  dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
  the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
  re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
  * hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
  * hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
  * cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
    stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
  * gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log

# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py

- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
  memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
  uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
  pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
  HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
  * tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
  * plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
  * tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
    restores mistralai

# Installer fallback tiers

scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:

- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
  array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
  PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
  landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
  the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.

Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).

# Config

hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: []  (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True  (security gate for ensure())

No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.

# Tests

tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
  gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant

tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
  every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
  pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command

Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.

# Validation

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py → 63/63 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/ tests/tools/ →
  9191 passed, 8 pre-existing failures (verified on origin/main
  before this change)
- bash -n on install.sh and setup-hermes.sh → OK
- py_compile on all modified .py files → OK
- End-to-end smoke test of detect_compromised + render_doctor_section

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)

Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.

Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.

What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.

Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.

Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.

mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.

LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.

Validation:

- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
  uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  → 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.

* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra

You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.

# What this commit fixes

1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
   uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
   package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
   existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
   stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
   hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
   path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
   (the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.

2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
   project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
   so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
   in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
   checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
   lock, optionally re-add to [all]).

3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
   jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.

The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain

# Validation

- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
  (test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
  test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.

* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)

* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)

Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.

Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic   (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client  (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts    (default TTS but still optional)

New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].

New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.

Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.

Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).

Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules

fix(deps): unbreak [all] install — drop mistralai while PyPI quarantined (#24205)
The `mistralai` PyPI package was quarantined on 2026-05-12 after a
malicious 2.4.6 release. Every fresh resolve (AUR makepkg, Docker build,
CI run, install.sh first-run) currently fails on
`mistralai>=2.3.0,<3` because PyPI returns zero candidates.

Existing users running `hermes update` mostly didn't notice — `hermes
update` falls back from `.[all]` to per-extra retries and silently
skips mistral with a warning that scrolls past. But fresh installs
hard-fail or lose every other extra.

Changes:
- pyproject.toml: drop `hermes-agent[mistral]` from `[all]` and
  `[termux-all]`. The `mistral` extra itself is preserved so users
  can opt back in once PyPI un-quarantines.
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: hide Mistral Voxtral TTS from the
  `hermes tools` provider picker until restored.
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: drop "mistral" from dashboard STT options.
- tools/transcription_tools.py: explicit `provider: mistral` returns
  "none" with a clear status message; auto-detect skips mistral.
- tools/tts_tool.py: dispatcher returns a clear "temporarily disabled"
  error before any SDK import attempt (avoids cached-stale-package
  surprises).
- tests/tools/: update three test files to assert the new disabled
  behavior. Each test docstring records why and points at the rollback
  trigger (PyPI un-quarantines mistralai).

Restore plan: revert this commit once the package is available on PyPI
again. The behavior change is intentional and documented in code
comments + test docstrings to make the rollback trivial.

Validation:
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/tools/ -k 'mistral or stt or tts' →
  425/425 passing.

Refs: https://pypi.org/simple/mistralai/ (currently
"pypi:project-status: quarantined").

58e2109f10 fix(minimax): harden OAuth dashboard and runtime
Handle MiniMax OAuth expiry values consistently across CLI and dashboard
flows, fix CLI status/add behavior, and force pooled OAuth runtime
requests through Anthropic Messages.

- web_server._minimax_poller: parse expired_in via the shared resolver
  so unix-ms absolute timestamps stop landing as TTL seconds and crashing
  with 'year 583911 is out of range' when a user connects MiniMax OAuth
  from the dashboard.
- auth._minimax_oauth_login / _refresh_minimax_oauth_state: same fix on
  the CLI login + refresh paths.
- auth.get_auth_status: dispatch minimax-oauth to its dedicated status
  function instead of falling through.
- auth_commands.auth_add_command: 'hermes auth add minimax-oauth' now
  starts the device-code login flow and persists a pool entry with the
  access + refresh tokens, instead of requiring credentials to already
  exist.
- runtime_provider._resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry: pin pooled
  minimax-oauth credentials to anthropic_messages so a stale
  model.api_mode: chat_completions can't send requests to
  /anthropic/chat/completions and trigger MiniMax nginx 404s.

fix(nous): surface Portal-flagged free models in picker even when curated list is stale (#24082)
Free-tier users were seeing 'No free models currently available.' in the
`hermes model` and post-login pickers even though qwen/qwen3.6-plus is
free on the Portal right now. Three independent breakages compounded:

1. The docs-hosted catalog manifest at website/static/api/model-catalog.json
   was not regenerated when _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous'] was updated, so users
   fetching the manifest got a list that didn't include qwen/qwen3.6-plus.
2. _resolve_nous_pricing_credentials() returned ('', '') on any auth blip,
   collapsing get_pricing_for_provider('nous') to {} and making every
   curated model fall through the free-tier filter as 'paid'.
3. Even with healthy pricing, the picker only ever showed models from the
   in-repo curated list intersected with live pricing — a Portal-flagged
   free model not yet in the curated list could never appear.

Changes:
- hermes_cli/models.py: new union_with_portal_free_recommendations() that
  augments the curated list with Portal freeRecommendedModels entries
  (with synthetic free pricing so partition keeps them). The Portal's
  /api/nous/recommended-models endpoint is now the source of truth for
  free-tier surfacing — old Hermes builds will see new free models
  without a CLI release.
- hermes_cli/models.py: _resolve_nous_pricing_credentials() falls back to
  the public inference base URL when runtime cred resolution fails.
  The /v1/models endpoint exposes pricing without auth, so silently
  returning {} just because a refresh token expired was wrong.
- hermes_cli/auth.py + hermes_cli/main.py: both free-tier picker call
  sites call union_with_portal_free_recommendations() before partition.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_models.py: 7 tests covering union behaviour
  (prepend, dedup, end-to-end with stale pricing, empty/missing/error
  payloads, invalid entries).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py: drift guard
  TestManifestMatchesInRepoLists fails CI when _PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']
  or OPENROUTER_MODELS is edited without re-running
  scripts/build_model_catalog.py. Verified empirically that removing a
  manifest entry triggers an assertion with an actionable error message.

Validation:
- 133/133 targeted tests pass (test_models, test_model_catalog,
  test_auth_nous_provider).
- Live E2E against the real Portal:
  - Stale curated list ['claude-opus','claude-sonnet','gpt-5.4'] (no
    qwen) → after union: ['qwen/qwen3.6-plus', ...] →
    partition(free_tier=True): selectable=['qwen/qwen3.6-plus'].
  - Simulated expired refresh token → anon fetch returns 403 pricing
    entries including qwen/qwen3.6-plus -> {prompt:0, completion:0}.
- ruff: clean.

feat(computer-use): refresh cua-driver on hermes update + add install --upgrade (#24063)
cua-driver was only installed once on toolset enable: `_run_post_setup` early-returns when the binary is already on PATH, so upstream fixes (e.g. v0.1.6 Safari window-focus fix) never reached existing users without manual reinstall.

Two refresh points now:
- `hermes update` re-runs the upstream installer at the end of the update if cua-driver is on PATH (macOS-only, no-op otherwise). Ties driver freshness to the user-controlled update cadence — no startup latency, no per-launch GitHub API call.
- `hermes computer-use install --upgrade` for manual force-refresh.

The upstream `install.sh` always pulls the latest release, so re-running is the canonical upgrade path. No version-comparison logic needed.

`hermes computer-use status` now shows the installed version, and points at `--upgrade` for refreshing.

05bad7b1e7 fix(dashboard): MiniMax 'Login' button launched Claude OAuth (#22832)
Fixes #22832.

## Root cause

`hermes_cli/web_server.py:start_oauth_login` dispatched OAuth flows by
the catalog's `flow` field rather than provider id:

    if catalog_entry["flow"] == "pkce":
        return _start_anthropic_pkce()

The catalog had two `flow: "pkce"` entries — `anthropic` and
`minimax-oauth` — so clicking "Login" on MiniMax in the dashboard's
Keys tab unconditionally launched the Anthropic/Claude PKCE flow.

## Fix

Three changes in `hermes_cli/web_server.py`:

1. Catalog entry for `minimax-oauth` changed from `flow: "pkce"` to
   `flow: "device_code"`. From a UX perspective MiniMax is a
   verification-URI + user-code flow (open URL, enter code, backend
   polls) — same shape as Nous's device-code flow. The PKCE bit
   (verifier + challenge from `_minimax_pkce_pair`) is a security
   extension that doesn't change the operator experience; the existing
   dashboard modal already renders `device_code` correctly for this UX.

2. New MiniMax branch in `_start_device_code_flow`, mirroring the
   existing Nous branch but calling MiniMax-specific helpers
   (`_minimax_request_user_code`, `_minimax_pkce_pair`). Stashes
   verifier + state in the session for the poller to consume. Handles
   the overloaded `expired_in` field (could be unix-ms timestamp OR
   seconds-from-now duration) the same way `_minimax_poll_token` does.

3. New `_minimax_poller` background thread mirroring `_nous_poller`.
   Calls `_minimax_poll_token` → on success builds the same
   `auth_state` dict the CLI flow (`_minimax_oauth_login`) builds, and
   persists via `_minimax_save_auth_state` so the dashboard path leaves
   the system in the same state as `hermes auth add minimax-oauth`.

Plus a dispatcher tightening to prevent regression: the `pkce` branch
now requires `provider_id == "anthropic"`, so any future PKCE provider
added without a proper start function gets a clean
`400 Unsupported flow` rather than silently launching Anthropic OAuth.

## Test

New `tests/hermes_cli/test_web_oauth_dispatch.py`:

- Regression test asserting MiniMax start does NOT return claude.ai
- Sanity test that Anthropic PKCE still works after the dispatcher
  tightening
- Forward-looking test: a hypothetical pkce-flagged provider without
  an explicit branch is rejected cleanly rather than misrouted

## Limitations

- The dashboard MiniMax path defaults to `region="global"`. CN-region
  operators can still use the CLI flow which supports `--region cn`.
  Adding a region toggle to the dashboard UI is a follow-up.

c6ca11618a refactor(tui): simplify TUI build logic, remove stale staleness checks
The old mtime-tracking staleness machinery (_tui_build_needed,
_hermes_ink_bundle_stale, _find_bundled_tui) tried to avoid rebuilding
by comparing source timestamps to dist/entry.js. This was fragile and
added ~100 lines of code. Replace with three clear paths:

1. HERMES_TUI_DIR set (prebuilt/nix): just node dist/entry.js, no build
2. --dev mode: tsx src/entry.tsx, no build, hot reload
3. Normal: always npm run build (esbuild is ~1s, correctness > caching)

Also error when HERMES_TUI_DIR is set with --dev (footgun: prebuilt
bundle has no source code to hot-reload).

feat(prompt-cache): cross-session 1h prefix cache for Claude on Anthropic / OpenRouter / Nous Portal (#23828)
Cuts input cost for first-turn Claude requests by ~85-90% on subsequent
sessions within an hour. Tools array (~13k tokens for default toolset) +
stable system prefix (~5-8k tokens) get a 1h cache_control marker; the
volatile suffix (memory, USER profile, timestamp, session id) sits in a
separate non-cached block at the end so it doesn't poison the cross-session
prefix when it changes.

Provider gate: Claude on native Anthropic (incl. OAuth subscription),
OpenRouter, and Nous Portal (which proxies to OpenRouter). All other
providers keep today's system_and_3 layout unchanged.

Layout (4 cache_control breakpoints, Anthropic max):
  1. tools[-1]              -> 1h (cross-session)
  2. system content[0]      -> 1h (cross-session, stable prefix)
  3. messages[-2]           -> 5m (within-session rolling)
  4. messages[-1]           -> 5m (within-session rolling)

Within-session rolling shrinks from 3 messages to 2 to free the breakpoint
budget. On Claude with realistic tool loadouts the long-lived tier carries
the bulk of cross-session value anyway.

System prompt is now always assembled cache-friendly: stable identity /
guidance / skills / platform hints first, then session-stable context
files (AGENTS.md, .cursorrules), then per-call volatile content. Old
single-string callers see the same logical content (same join order),
just reordered so volatile lives at the end.

Config knobs (defaults shown):
  prompt_caching:
    cache_ttl: "5m"           # rolling-window TTL (unchanged)
    long_lived_prefix: true    # opt-out switch
    long_lived_ttl: "1h"       # cross-session prefix TTL

Live E2E (tests/agent/test_prompt_caching_live.py, gated on
OPENROUTER_API_KEY) on anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5 with default toolset:
  Call 1 (cold):              cache_write=13,415  cache_read=0
  Call 2 (NEW agent + msg):   cache_write=391     cache_read=13,025
  Cross-session reuse:        97.09%

Implementation:
* agent/prompt_caching.py: new apply_anthropic_cache_control_long_lived()
  + mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache(); existing apply_anthropic_cache_control()
  preserved verbatim for the fallback path.
* agent/anthropic_adapter.py: convert_tools_to_anthropic() now forwards
  cache_control onto each Anthropic-format tool dict.
* run_agent.py: _build_system_prompt_parts() returns the 3-tier dict;
  _build_system_prompt() joins them (backward compatible).
  _supports_long_lived_anthropic_cache() policy added next to the existing
  _anthropic_prompt_cache_policy() (which now also recognises Nous Portal
  Claude — pre-existing gap fixed in passing).
  _build_api_kwargs() resolves tools_for_api once and propagates the
  marker through all four build paths (anthropic_messages, bedrock,
  codex_responses, profile/legacy chat completions).
  Long-lived flag plumbed into the runtime snapshot/restore + model-switch
  + fallback-promotion paths.

Tests:
* tests/agent/test_prompt_caching.py: +8 tests (TestMarkToolsForLongLivedCache,
  TestApplyAnthropicCacheControlLongLived).
* tests/run_agent/test_anthropic_prompt_cache_policy.py: +9 tests
  (TestSupportsLongLivedAnthropicCache matrix across 8 endpoint classes
  + a fallback-target case).
* tests/agent/test_prompt_caching_live.py: new live E2E (skipif when
  OPENROUTER_API_KEY is unset; runs outside the hermetic suite).
* Targeted suites: 327/327 pass (caching/adapter/policy/builder).
* tests/agent/ + tests/run_agent/: 3992 pass, 17 skip, 1 pre-existing
  flake (test_async_httpx_del_neuter::test_same_key_replaces_stale_loop_entry,
  verified failing on pristine origin/main).

fix(/model): surface Nous Portal models from remote catalog manifest (#23912)
The /model picker for Nous Portal users was returning the in-repo
_PROVIDER_MODELS["nous"] snapshot — which only updates on Hermes
releases — instead of the remote manifest published at
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/api/model-catalog.json.

OpenRouter already pulled from the manifest via fetch_openrouter_models;
"nous" was the only curated provider where the existing manifest
plumbing (get_curated_nous_model_ids → get_curated_nous_models) was
defined but not wired into the picker pipeline. Switch the curated
build in list_authenticated_providers to use it, with the same
graceful fallback to the in-repo snapshot when the manifest is
unreachable.

Test: tests/hermes_cli/test_model_catalog.py exercises the picker with
a patched manifest and asserts the manifest's nous list reaches
list_picker_providers. Falls-back-to-static path was already covered
by test_curated_nous_ids_falls_back_to_hardcoded_on_empty_catalog.

283381b1ce fix(dashboard): validate dist exists when --skip-build is set
Follow-up to PR #23824. Adds two correctness fixes on top of the
contributor's salvaged commit:

1. Stale-dist fallback no longer gated on `fatal=False`. `cmd_dashboard`
   passes `fatal=True` and is the primary scenario this fallback is for
   (issue #23817 — Windows Scheduled Task at logon). The previous gate
   meant the fallback never fired in the case it was designed for.

2. `--skip-build` now verifies the dist actually exists before starting
   the server. Without this, a misconfigured pre-build would launch the
   dashboard pointing at a missing dist and silently serve 404s. We now
   exit 1 with a clear "pre-build first: cd web && npm run build"
   message, and on success print which dist directory is being used.

Verified end-to-end on Linux:
- build fails + stale dist (fatal=True)  -> fallback fires
- build fails + no dist (fatal=True)     -> exit 1 with stderr surfaced
- build fails + stale dist (fatal=False) -> fallback fires
- --skip-build + missing dist            -> exit 1 with clear guidance
- --skip-build + valid dist              -> 'Skipping web UI build...'

7085f4e238 fix(dashboard): fallback to stale dist, retry build, add --skip-build flag
Three improvements for non-interactive contexts (Windows Scheduled
Tasks, CI/CD) where the web UI build may fail (issue #23817):

1. Retry build once after 3s — covers boot-time races (antivirus
   scanning Node.js, npm cache not ready, transient disk I/O)
2. Fall back to existing dist when build fails (non-fatal mode) —
   a stale UI is far better than no UI at all
3. Add --skip-build flag — lets callers pre-build in their wrapper
   script and start the dashboard without internal build attempt
4. Surface npm stderr in build failure output for easier debugging

a479ec01ed fix: make web UI build output decoding robust on Windows
On Windows systems using a Chinese GBK locale, `hermes update` could misreport the Web UI build as failed even when `npm run build` actually succeeded. The failure was caused by Python decoding captured npm output with the process locale inside a background subprocess reader thread. When npm emitted bytes such as `0x85`, decoding under GBK raised `UnicodeDecodeError`, and Hermes then surfaced a misleading "Web UI build failed" warning.

This change makes the npm install/npm ci path and the Web UI build step decode captured output explicitly as UTF-8 with `errors="replace"`. That keeps unexpected bytes from crashing output collection, preserves successful builds, and prevents false negatives during update on Windows.

The patch also adds regression tests that verify these subprocess calls always use explicit UTF-8 decoding with replacement semantics.

5712483487 fix: guard resolve_profile_env against missing profile dirs
The _default_spawn HERMES_HOME injection (PR #23356) calls
resolve_profile_env which raises FileNotFoundError when the profile
dir doesn't exist. In production the profile always exists (workers are
only dispatched for live profiles), but tests with isolated HERMES_HOME
never create profile dirs. Catch FileNotFoundError and fall through —
HERMES_PROFILE is still set below, so the worker CLI resolves the
profile at startup.

5af315c4cc fix(kanban): inject HERMES_HOME into worker subprocess env
Default spawn did not propagate HERMES_HOME when forking kanban workers.
The worker's env is copied from the parent via dict(os.environ), so
HERMES_HOME is absent. When the child then starts hermes -p <profile>,
the CLI's _apply_profile_override() runs before hermes_constants is
imported and get_hermes_home() falls back to ~/.hermes (the default
profile root), silently ignoring the profile's config.yaml.  Profile-
scoped fallback_providers, toolsets, and agent settings are therefore
never applied to kanban workers.

The fix injects HERMES_HOME into the worker's env using
resolve_profile_env(profile_arg) so the child reads the correct profile
directory instead of the default root.

Two independent opt-in QoL toggles, both off by default.

terminal.docker_extra_args:
- List of extra flags appended verbatim to docker run after security
  defaults. Useful for adding capabilities (e.g. --cap-add SETUID) or
  other docker run options not exposed by existing config keys.
- Non-string entries are logged and skipped.
- Also available via TERMINAL_DOCKER_EXTRA_ARGS='[...]' env var.

display.timestamps:
- Appends [HH:MM] to user input bullet and the assistant response box
  header. Single hub in _format_submitted_user_message_preview()
  covers both single-line and multi-line user previews; assistant
  response label gets the timestamp at box-open time.

fix(config): warn loudly on YAML parse failure instead of silent default fallback (#23585)
A YAML parse error in ~/.hermes/config.yaml caused load_config() to print
one line to stdout (Warning: Failed to load config: ...) and silently fall
back to DEFAULT_CONFIG, dropping every user override (auxiliary providers,
fallback chain, model settings). Users only noticed when downstream
behavior misbehaved — see issue #23570 where a tab-indent error in the
auxiliary section caused aux fallback to use OpenRouter (depleted) instead
of the configured Codex/MiniMax chain.

Now: log at WARNING (so 'hermes logs' surfaces it), write a prominent line
to stderr, dedup on (path, mtime_ns, size) so concurrent loads don't spam,
and re-warn after the user edits the file. Both call sites (raw read +
merged load) route through the same helper.

feat(kanban): stranded_in_ready diagnostic for unclaimed tasks (#23578)
Surface ready tasks that nobody claims within a threshold (default
30 min) regardless of why. One identity-agnostic signal that catches:

- Operator typo'd the assignee
- Profile was deleted, leaving its tasks stranded
- External worker pool (Codex CLI lane, custom daemon) is down
- Dispatcher misconfigured (wrong board / wrong HERMES_HOME)

Today the dispatcher correctly skips these (no respawn loop, good)
but nothing surfaces the fact that operator-actionable work is
accumulating. The new `stranded_in_ready` rule does that without
requiring a manual lane registry — it reads the most recent ready-
transition event (`created` / `promoted` / `reclaimed` / `unblocked`)
and fires when (now - last_ready_ts) > threshold.

Severity escalates with age: warning at threshold, error at 2x,
critical at 6x. The cli_hint and reassign actions point operators
at the right next step.

Out of scope deliberately:
- Lane registry (#20157 closed) — this signal supersedes it.
- Pushing the diagnostic into messaging gateways — diagnostics
  are pull-only via 'hermes kanban diagnostics' for now; gateway
  push is a separate UX decision.

Tests: 10 new + 461 existing kanban tests pass. E2E verified end-
to-end via 'hermes kanban diagnostics --json' against a 2h-old
stranded task — surfaces as error severity with correct actions.

fix(goals): force judge to use tool calls instead of JSON-text replies (#23547)
Live-tested on gemini-3-flash-preview the judge kept returning empty
or non-JSON content, tripping the consecutive-parse-failures auto-
pause. Free-form JSON output is hopeful; tool-call schemas are
enforced server-side by virtually every modern provider.

Two new tools the judge calls:

  - submit_checklist(items)  — Phase A, decompose
  - update_checklist(updates, new_items, reason) — Phase B, evaluate

Both phases now call the auxiliary client with tool_choice forcing
the right tool. read_file remains for Phase B history inspection,
with the loop exiting only when update_checklist is called or the
read budget is exhausted (at which point read_file is dropped from
the toolbox and update_checklist is forced).

Robustness:
- _call_judge_with_tool_choice falls back tool_choice forced→required→
  auto if the provider rejects a particular shape.
- If a fully-broken provider still returns content instead of a tool
  call, the legacy JSON-text parsers stay around as a last-ditch
  backstop so we never silently lose a checklist.
- _normalize_update_args replaces the JSON parser for the apply
  layer; same 1-based→0-based conversion + terminal-status filter.

Live verification: same fizzbuzz goal that was hitting 'judge model
returned unparseable output 3 turns in a row' before now terminates
in 2 turns, all 11 items marked completed with item-specific
evidence, no auto-pause. Agent log shows
'produced 11 checklist items via tool call' instead of the JSON-
parse path.

Tests: 7 new cases for the tool-call path (Phase A success, Phase B
update only, Phase B read_file→update, JSON-content backstop,
empty-text item dropping, non-terminal status filter).

Out-of-scope behavior change in #23521 — the kanban notifier-routing fix
also flipped the 'kanban create --created-by' default from 'user' to the
active profile name. Revert to keep PR scope focused on the notifier
ownership fix; the profile-aware author default can be its own change.
