* feat(desktop): add useKeybindHint hook and TipKeybindLabel
Add a shared hook that reads the current keybind combo for an action
id from the $bindings store (rebindable) or KEYBIND_READONLY (fixed),
returning a formatted string or null when unbound.
Add TipKeybindLabel — a convenience component that auto-reads both
its label (from i18n) and keybind combo from the action registry.
Pass only actionId for the common case; pass text to override when
the tooltip is context-dependent.
* fix(desktop): replace native title= on buttons with themed Tip
Migrate all <button>/<Button> elements using the native HTML title=
attribute to the instant, themed <Tip> component. Native tooltips are
unstyled, delayed (~500ms OS default), and visually inconsistent with
the app's instant themed tooltips.
Also adds <Tip> wrappers to icon-only buttons that were missing
tooltips entirely (dialog close, search clear, overlay close,
master-detail pane controls, keybind panel rebind/reset buttons).
Adds an enforcement test (no-native-title.test.ts) that scans all
.tsx files for <button>/<Button> with title= and fails if any are
found. Updates DESIGN.md with the icon-only button tooltip rule and
keybind hint guidance.
* feat(desktop): wire keybind hints into button tooltips
Add actionId to TitlebarTool, StatusbarItem, and SidebarNavItem so
their tooltips show the current keybind combo via TipKeybindLabel.
Fix the hardcoded NEW_SESSION_KBD in the sidebar to read from
$bindings so it stays live on rebind.
Wired surfaces:
- Titlebar: sidebar toggle, flip panes, keybinds, settings
- Statusbar: terminal toggle (view.showTerminal)
- Status stack: open agents button (nav.agents)
- Sidebar nav: new session, skills, messaging, artifacts
* feat(desktop): move keybind panel to settings tab with search filter
Move the keyboard shortcuts panel from a Radix Dialog into a proper
Settings tab (/settings?tab=keybinds). The ⌘/ shortcut and titlebar
keyboard button now navigate to this settings tab instead of toggling
a dialog. Adds a search filter to filter shortcuts by label.
- New: src/app/settings/keybind-settings.tsx (extracted from keybind-panel.tsx)
- Delete: src/app/shell/keybind-panel.tsx (dialog wrapper removed)
- Remove: $keybindPanelOpen atom and toggle/open/close functions
- Add: IconKeyboard to lib/icons.ts
- i18n: keybinds.search + settings.nav.keybinds (en, zh, zh-hant, ja)
* refactor(desktop): unify worktree dialog into shared WorktreeDialog
Extract the worktree creation dialog from StartWorkButton (sidebar) into a
shared WorktreeDialog component. Both the sidebar's StartWorkButton and the
composer's CodingStatusRow now use the same dialog, eliminating the duplicated
UI.
The shared dialog keeps the sidebar version's full feature set:
- BaseBranchPicker (filterable base branch combobox)
- Convert mode (check out an existing branch into a worktree)
- Sanitized branch name input
The coding row passes repoPath (from cwd) and onOpenWorktree (which carries
the composer draft to the new session) so the unified dialog works everywhere
there's a repo, not just inside an entered project.
Switching between chat sessions in the desktop app froze for up to ~1–2s on
large transcripts. Profiling the switch path surfaced three main-thread
blockers, fixed here minimally and without changing behavior.
1. JSON.stringify deep-compare (worst case). chatMessagesEquivalent compared
message parts with JSON.stringify(a) === JSON.stringify(b) on every switch.
On image-/large-blob-bearing transcripts this serialized every part twice
and cost well over a second. Replaced with a structural compare that never
stringifies: array-level identity fast-path, per-part reference fast-path,
then type-aware field comparison. The compare's only consumer asks "did the
transcript change, should I setMessages?", so it is deliberately
conservative — a false-negative just causes one extra idempotent
setMessages, while a false-positive (the unsafe direction) is avoided.
2. Scroll-settle loop. thread-list ran a requestAnimationFrame settle loop up
to 90 frames (or 5 stable frames) on every sessionKey change, each frame
forcing a synchronous layout read + write — racing the markdown paint for
up to ~1.5s. A normal synchronous switch stabilizes within a couple
frames, so the ceiling is now 2 stable frames / 15 max.
3. Synchronous first paint of up to 300 parts. On switch, thread-list reset
the render budget to the full RENDER_BUDGET=300, so up to 300 parts went
through markdown + shiki syntax-highlighting synchronously on the switch
commit. It now paints a small FIRST_PAINT_BUDGET=60 first, then bumps to
the full 300 in a requestAnimationFrame after the first commit.
Salvaged from PR #49807 by professorpalmer — re-applied to the restructured
file layout (use-session-actions/utils.ts, thread/list.tsx) and tests merged
into the existing utils.test.ts.

The sidebar working dot didn't update for background sessions until the
user opened them. Two coupled causes:
1. The gateway's session.info event payload omitted stored_session_id,
so the desktop app had no way to map a background session's runtime
id to its stored id. Without the stored id, setSessionWorking(null,
...) was a no-op — the $workingSessionIds atom never updated.
2. The running→busy transition in the session.info handler was gated on
`apply` (active session only). The gate correctly scopes view-only
side effects (setCurrentModel, setCurrentCwd, etc.) to the focused
chat, but the per-session busy state drives the sidebar indicator and
must reach every session. updateSessionState only mutates the
per-runtime cache entry, and syncSessionStateToView already guards
the view publish to the active session, so ungating is safe.
Fix: add stored_session_id to _session_info() in tui_gateway/server.py,
add the field to GatewayEventPayload, pass it to updateSessionState in
the session.info handler, and ungate the running→busy transition.
generate-patch now emits a has-fixes job output (true/false).
apply-patch is gated on it via `if: needs.generate-patch.outputs.has-fixes == 'true'`,
so when `npm run fix` produces no diff, the privileged job is skipped
entirely — no runner allocation, no redundant checkout/download/push/PR.
Replaces moonshotai/kimi-k2.6 (recommended) and moonshotai/kimi-k2.7-code
with moonshotai/kimi-k3 in both curated lists, regenerates the published
model-catalog.json manifest, and updates the docs example manifest (en+zh).
kimi-k3 verified live on both endpoints (Nous Portal /v1/models and
OpenRouter /api/v1/models; 1M context, $3/$15 per Mtok). Family-prefix
matching already covers k3 in moonshot_schema, cache policy, and context
heuristics — no code changes needed there.
queryRewrite (default off) gates the latest-message rewrite so the
extra auxiliary LLM call is opt-in. firstTurnBaseWait and
firstTurnDialecticWait expose the turn-1 bounded waits in seconds
(0 disables). All three resolve host-block-first like every other
field. Also pins per-host timeout resolution with tests.
Move query_rewrite from the honcho plugin to plugins/memory/ and
rename the auxiliary task key honcho_query_rewrite ->
memory_query_rewrite so any memory provider can use the same
rewrite path and model/timeout config block. No behavior change.
dialecticMaxChars (default 600) is documented as the budget for the dialectic
supplement auto-injected into the system prompt every turn — a small recurring
cost that is correct to bound tightly. But dialectic_query() applied that cap
unconditionally, so explicit honcho_reasoning tool calls — where the model
deliberately spends a turn asking for a synthesized answer — were silently
truncated mid-word to 600 chars with a trailing " …", no error surfaced. The
full answer is returned by Honcho server-side; the clip happens client-side.
The auto-injection path already has its own token-based budget (contextTokens,
enforced in prefetch() via _truncate_to_budget), so the char cap's real job is a
cheap always-on guardrail for that recurring injection. Explicit tool results
are already bounded server-side by Honcho's dialectic MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS and don't
need the injection cap — sibling tools (honcho_search, honcho_context) don't
post-clip their results either.
Add apply_injection_cap (default True, preserving current behavior) to
dialectic_query(); the honcho_reasoning tool handler passes False so it returns
Honcho's full synthesized answer. Auto-injection is unchanged. Tests cover both
the capped injection path and the uncapped tool path.

honcho_conclude's delete action was unreachable in practice: no tool ever
surfaced a real conclusion id for the model to pass as delete_id.
honcho_search only searches the separate Message resource space, and the
SDK's ConclusionScope.list()/.query() (which do return real Conclusion.id
values) were never wired into any tool.
Adds an optional list mode to honcho_conclude (query to search, omit to
browse recent conclusions), backed by a new
HonchoSessionManager.list_conclusions(). No new tool, no changes to the
create/delete signatures or their conclusions_of() routing.
injectionFrequency='first-turn' returned empty for the entire
prefetch_context() method on turns 2+, which blocked the dialectic
supplement from being consumed and injected. The dialectic has its
own cadence (dialecticCadence) and must continue to fire and inject
independently of the base context layer.
Now first-turn mode gates only Layer 1 (base context: representation
+ card), letting Layer 2 (dialectic supplement) flow through its
normal consumption path on every turn.
Also fixes all remaining tests that passed dialecticCadence via
cfg_extra={'raw': {...}} to use the typed dialectic_cadence field.
injectionFrequency, contextCadence, and dialecticCadence were read
only via raw.get() which checks root-level keys in honcho.json.
Settings placed inside hosts.<name> (the normal per-host location)
were silently ignored, falling back to defaults.
- Add typed dataclass fields: injection_frequency, context_cadence,
dialectic_cadence with host-block-first resolution chains matching
the pattern used by all other config fields.
- Update HonchoMemoryProvider.initialize() to read from typed cfg
fields instead of cfg.raw directly.
- Fix search_context tests that mocked _honcho directly — the
.honcho property getter calls get_honcho_client() which overwrites
the backing field, so use patch.object on the property instead.
- Add injection_frequency and context_cadence config override tests.
HonchoClientConfig timeout/requestTimeout resolution skipped the per-host config
block, silently dropping a host-scoped timeout and falling through to the global
config.yaml value (or the default). Add the host block at the front of the
resolution chain, consistent with every other field (base_url, api_key, etc.).
Symptom: Honcho logs show a dialectic answer was generated, but Hermes never
injects it — intermittently.
Root cause: the dialectic supplement that queue_prefetch() fires at the end of
turn N is stored pending (fired_at=N) for consumption by turn N+1's prefetch().
But prefetch()'s trivial-prompt guard returned early BEFORE the consumption
block. So when turn N+1's prompt was trivial ('ok', 'yes', 'continue', a slash
command), the ready result was never consumed, and a few turns later the
stale-discard guard dropped it. Generated by Honcho, never seen by the model.
The dependence on 'is the consuming turn trivial?' is why the loss looked random.
Fix: trivial turns now consume and inject a ready, non-stale pending result while
still spending no new work (no base-context fetch, no new dialectic fire). A
trivial ack shouldn't generate context, but it shouldn't destroy an answer
already computed for that exact turn. Extracted the pop+stale-check into a shared
_consume_pending_dialectic() used by both the trivial path and the normal path so
they age-check identically.
Preserved (covered by new tests): genuinely stale results are still discarded on
trivial turns; trivial turns still fire no new work; a trivial turn with nothing
pending still injects nothing.
Adds regression tests for inject-on-trivial and discard-stale-on-trivial.
A brand-new session injected no Honcho context on the user's first message —
the peer card/representation only showed up from turn 2 onward. The base-context
fetch was fired asynchronously and popped in the same synchronous pass, so it
always lost the race on turn 1 (a background thread can't finish inside one
pass), leaving the first response with zero recalled context.
Fetch the base layer (representation + card + summary) synchronously with a
bounded timeout on turn 1 so the peer card is injected immediately; subsequent
turns still consume the background-refreshed result primed by queue_prefetch().
The wait is bounded by _FIRST_TURN_BASE_TIMEOUT and tightened further by a small
configured request timeout (fail-fast deployments / tests).
Two related first-turn/dialectic reliability fixes ride along:
- first-turn dialectic no longer double-fires: if a prewarm .chat() thread is
already in flight from session init, turn 1 waits briefly for it instead of
firing a second (duplicate) call that also blocked the first response. The
first-turn wait is decoupled from a large host timeout (a 60s host timeout
must not block the first response for 60s) via _FIRST_TURN_DIALECTIC_CAP,
while still honoring a tight configured timeout.
- empty-pass propagation guard in multi-pass dialectic: at depth > 1 each pass
feeds the prior pass's output into the next prompt. If a pass returned empty
(e.g. a reasoning model that spent its whole budget thinking), the next prompt
carried a blank assessment (the "empty spot" seen in Honcho request logs). Now
only non-empty prior results feed dependent passes; if all priors are empty,
re-issue the base prompt instead of referencing nothing.
The five Honcho tool schemas had overlapping/misleading descriptions, making it
hard for the model to pick the right one, plus two concrete correctness bugs:
- honcho_context advertised an 'Optional focus query' parameter that the dispatch
never read. The model could pass query= expecting filtering that never happened.
Remove the dead parameter; honcho_context is an honest no-query snapshot. Focused
retrieval now lives in honcho_search (see prior commit).
- honcho_conclude's peer param was described as 'Peer to query' — wrong; it's the
peer the conclusion is ABOUT. Corrected.
Rewrite all five descriptions to give each tool a distinct mental model and
cross-reference siblings:
profile = read/write the compact card (cheapest, no query, no LLM)
search = find what was actually said, ranked, cross-session (cheap, no LLM)
reasoning= ask a question, get a synthesized answer (the only LLM tool; expensive)
context = a fixed session snapshot (no query, no LLM)
conclude = write a durable fact to the profile
Addresses the honcho_context query param half of #29402 (see PR notes for the
divergence from that issue's proposed wire-through approach).
honcho_search routed through search_context() -> peer.context(search_query=),
which returns the peer's standing representation + card. The search_query arg
does not turn that endpoint into a search, so results were effectively
query-independent: the same representation blob regardless of the query. Factual
lookups ('what medication', 'which value did we pick') returned noise.
Rewire search_context() to call the workspace message-search endpoint
(Honcho.search) with a peer_perspective filter: RRF-ranked (hybrid semantic +
full-text) raw message excerpts spanning every session the peer was a member of,
across all authors, membership-time-scoped. This is the cross-session factual
recall primitive.
peer_perspective is chosen over the alternatives because it is the only scope
that is simultaneously (a) cross-session, (b) inclusive of assistant-authored
facts about the peer (peer-author search drops these, and they are a large part
of what you want to recall about yourself), and (c) privacy-scoped to the peer's
own sessions (plain workspace search leaks other peers' sessions).
- snippets are labeled by author so the model can tell user-stated facts from
assistant-derived ones
- max_tokens is now an enforced budget (was accepted but meaningless)
- graceful fallback to peer-authored search if peer_perspective is unsupported
- query length clamped under the embedding input cap
Replaces 3 change-detector tests that asserted the old representation-dump
behavior with 4 that assert the message-search contract + fallback path.
auto_title_session runs as a bare daemon-thread target. Any exception
escaping it hits the default threading excepthook and sprays a raw
traceback into the user's terminal mid-session. The canonical trigger
is the post-'hermes update' stale-module window: the function's lazy
imports read NEW source from disk while already-imported modules
(agent.portal_tags) are still the OLD cached version, producing an
ImportError that repeats on every auto-title attempt until the
long-running process restarts (seen live after 9ce0e67f2 added
set_conversation_context).
The public entrypoint now wraps the body in a catch-all that logs one
WARNING naming the likely cause ('restart the running Hermes process'),
routes the exception through the existing failure_callback channel
(user-visible warning in CLI, debug-suppressed in gateway per #23246),
and never re-raises. This also makes the function honor its own
docstring contract ('silently skips if title generation fails').
react-router v7's HashRouter wraps every route state update in
React.startTransition() by default. In React 19's concurrent renderer,
transitions are non-urgent — React can yield mid-render and come back
later. When the app is under load (streaming token deltas, gateway
events, store updates from active sessions), those higher-priority
updates keep interrupting the transition, starving the route change commit.
This matches every symptom of the session-switch lag:
- Main thread is free (animations run, clicks work) — startTransition
defers, it does not block
- navigate() does not take effect for seconds — the transition keeps
getting interrupted by higher-priority updates
- Worse under load — more concurrent re-renders = more interruptions
- The whole UI (sidebar + main pane) does not update — the entire route
change is one transition, so nothing commits until it finishes
Pass useTransitions={false} to HashRouter so route state updates are
synchronous at default React priority instead of deferred transition
priority. navigate() now commits and paints immediately.
See: react-router v7 chunk-BIP66BKV.js HashRouter implementation.
Add the flag-gated compute-host supervisor, delta/control protocol, PPID orphan guard, inline fail-open path, synthetic GIL-heavy turn seam, and AC-4 certify harness.
Verified on current origin/main: 343 focused tests pass; Ruff and diff checks pass; 360s AC-4 run with six heavy lanes passes at 6.11ms serving p99 with zero stalls and valid load.

Reassert the persisted webContents zoom after BrowserWindow moved, covering Windows monitor transitions where Chromium recalculates display scaling and drops the user-selected zoom.
Rebased onto current main, where the electron test harness migrated from
node:test to vitest (test:desktop:platforms = `vitest run --project electron`,
auto-discovering electron/*.test.ts). Swap the node:test import for vitest and
drop the .ts-extension import hack; the obsolete package.json node --test list
edit is dropped in the cherry-pick resolution since vitest auto-discovers.

Bare /reasoning and /fast now render a native one-tap picker on
picker-capable platforms, with automatic fallback to the text status
card everywhere else — parity with the /model picker UX.
- gateway/slash_commands.py: generic send_choice_picker capability gate
(detected on the adapter type, like send_model_picker); selection and
typed arguments flow through one shared application path so they can
never diverge; choices built from VALID_REASONING_EFFORTS so future
levels appear automatically
- telegram: flat inline-keyboard picker (cp:<idx> callbacks), authorized
users only (same gate as approval buttons)
- discord: ChoicePickerView select menu, auth mirrors ExecApprovalView,
2-minute timeout with expiry edit
- matrix: reaction-based picker; reaction set extended to 12 slots to
fit the full effort ladder + subcommands
- locales: picker_title + choice labels in all 16 languages
- docs: ADDING_A_PLATFORM.md capability table
Closes#61110.
selectModel in use-model-controls captured activeSessionId as a closure
prop, but the actions bag in wiring.tsx mutates in place to keep a stable
identity for memoized surfaces. The modelMenuContent useMemo captures
selectModel once when the gateway first opens (before any session is
active) and never re-evaluates, so clicking a model in an existing thread
goes through a stale closure with activeSessionId=null — the pick is
treated as UI-only, config.set is never sent, and the next session.info
event clobbers the optimistic update back to the session's real model.
Drop the activeSessionId prop entirely. All three callbacks now read
$activeSessionId.get() live from the store, matching the pattern
refreshCurrentModel already followed. This is the correct contract for
the actions bag's in-place mutation: callbacks read live state from the
store, not from captured props.
The salvaged choices list predates the max/ultra effort levels (#62650);
add them so the Discord dropdown matches the canonical ladder. Discord
caps choices at 25 — we're at 11, plenty of headroom.
The Discord /reasoning command declared a single free-text `effort`
parameter, so the native UI funneled every invocation into that one box
and never surfaced the reset / show / hide subcommands the gateway
handler already supports. Replace the free-text param with an explicit
choices dropdown covering the effort levels plus reset/show/hide,
mirroring the existing /tokens and /voice commands. --global persistence
stays reachable by typing the command as plain text.

terminal_tool reads all settings from TERMINAL_* env vars, bridged from
config.yaml by the CLI, gateway, and TUI-PTY launchers. Processes that
skip every launcher bridge — hermes serve / the Desktop app backend's
in-process agents, the desktop cron ticker — saw an unset TERMINAL_ENV
and silently ran every command on the host even when config.yaml selects
terminal.backend: docker. A user who configured Docker isolation got
unsandboxed host execution with no warning.
Two layers:
- _ensure_terminal_env_bridged() in _get_env_config(): when TERMINAL_ENV
is unset, backfill TERMINAL_* from config.yaml via
apply_terminal_config_to_env(override=False). Explicit env always wins
(honor explicit choice; only fix the accidental fallback). One-shot,
fail-open to the historical local default.
- cmd_dashboard/serve: run the same bridge at startup so every consumer
in the backend process (in-process agents, desktop cron ticker,
tui_gateway cwd resolution) sees the bridged env directly.
Fixes#63141, #54449, #61115, #65696.
hermes update ran TWO separate pre-update backup mechanisms: the
config-gated full zip (updates.pre_update_backup, default off) and an
unconditional quick state snapshot added for #15733 that ignored the
user's setting entirely. On a large state.db (observed: 24 GB) the
'cheap' snapshot silently added ~60s to every update and ate 24 GB of
disk in state-snapshots/.
Now there is ONE mechanism, gated by updates.pre_update_backup with
three modes:
- quick (new default): state snapshot of critical small files (pairing
JSONs, cron jobs, config, auth, per-profile DBs). Files over 1 GiB
are skipped with a warning so a bloated state.db can never stall the
update again.
- full: the quick snapshot plus the HERMES_HOME zip (old 'true'
behavior; --backup forces it for one run).
- off: nothing runs — an explicit opt-out now disables the quick
snapshot too (--no-backup does the same per-run).
Legacy booleans are honored: true -> full, false -> off.
_run_pre_update_backup() now returns the quick-snapshot id so the
post-update cron-jobs restore safety net (#34600) keeps working; the
snapshot moved from the post-fetch site to the pre-mutation site,
which also covers the zip-fallback update path it previously missed.
