* fix(gateway): refuse to write service definitions with a temp-dir HERMES_HOME
A test/E2E harness that exports HERMES_HOME=/tmp/... and touches any
gateway service write path (install, start self-heal, restart's
refresh_systemd_unit_if_needed) bakes the throwaway home into the
production systemd unit / launchd plist. The gateway then restarts
'healthy' but pointed at an empty temp home — no platforms enabled,
deaf to every message (live incident 2026-06-11: /tmp/hermes-e2e-41264
poisoned the unit during a PR-review E2E probe; the post-update restart
produced a 7-hour zombie gateway).
The existing safety belt only sniffed pytest-shaped markers
(/pytest-of-, /hermes_test). Add a structural guard:
_temp_home_in_service_definition() extracts HERMES_HOME from the
generated systemd unit or launchd plist and refuses the write (with
actionable guidance) when it resolves under tempfile.gettempdir(),
/tmp, /var/tmp, or the macOS /private variants. Wired into all five
write sites: systemd refresh + install, launchd refresh + install +
start self-heal.
* test: patch unit generator in install tests tripped by temp-home guard
CI runs hermetic with HERMES_HOME under a tmp dir, so the real
generate_systemd_unit() output now (correctly) trips the new temp-home
write guard in three install tests. Patch the generator with synthetic
non-temp content — same pattern the existing pytest-marker guard tests
use.
Adds an idle clock to the context/status bar in both the prompt_toolkit CLI
and the Ink TUI: once a turn completes, a dim '✓ <elapsed>' segment shows how
long the session has been idle since the last final agent response. Hidden
while a turn is live (the per-prompt elapsed timer covers that) and before
the first turn completes.
- cli.py: track _last_turn_finished_at when the agent thread exits, surface
it via _format_idle_since() in the snapshot, render in both the wide
fragments path and the plain-text fallback.
- ui-tui: stamp lastTurnEndedAt when busy flips false after a live turn,
thread it through appStatus -> StatusRule, render via a ticking IdleSince
segment sharing the duration breakpoint/width budget.
Two beta-reported dashboard bugs:
1. Models page: 'Use as -> Main model' on an analytics card sends
entry.provider, which falls back to the model's VENDOR prefix
(modelVendor('anthropic/claude-opus-4.6') == 'anthropic') when the
session row has no billing_provider. That persisted
provider: anthropic + default: anthropic/claude-opus-4.6 — a
vendor-prefixed OpenRouter slug on the NATIVE Anthropic provider.
New sessions then 400 against api.anthropic.com and the user reads
it as 'changing models does nothing'. Unknown vendors (moonshotai,
poolside, ...) were worse: a provider that can never resolve
credentials.
Fix: _normalize_main_model_assignment() at the single write
chokepoint — maps non-provider vendor names back to the user's
current aggregator (else openrouter), and runs the model through
normalize_model_for_provider() so the persisted name matches the
target provider's API format. Wired into both /api/model/set and
the profile-scoped _write_profile_model.
2. System page: 'Restore from backup' spawns hermes import with
stdin=DEVNULL, so the CLI's interactive 'Continue? [y/N]' overwrite
prompt hits EOF and auto-aborts whenever a config already exists
(always, when the dashboard is running). Fix: ConfirmDialog in the
dashboard owns the consent, then the endpoint passes --force so the
restore runs non-interactively.
Validated live: dashboard on a temp HERMES_HOME, repro'd both failure
modes pre-fix (vendor-slug write verified via config.yaml + tui
session.create; import 'Aborted.' in action-import.log), then verified
post-fix (normalized writes, modal -> --force -> restored marker file).

Move Matrix /status scope output and /resume same-room guards from the

Hermes background maintenance tasks.
* fix(i18n): add Matrix resume/status keys to all locale catalogs
The Matrix /resume and /status slash-command keys added in the foundation

matching thread_require_mention and fixing Forge when require_mention is set
only in profile config.yaml.
* fix(matrix): harden status scope and allowlisted DMs
* fix(matrix): use session store lookup for resume scope
* fix(mcp): propagate HERMES_HOME override onto the MCP event loop
Closes the known limit documented in #44007: tasks scheduled via
run_coroutine_threadsafe are created INSIDE the MCP loop thread, so they
copy that thread's context — a per-request profile scope (dashboard
?profile= endpoints, e.g. the MCP 'Test server' probe) silently vanished
for anything resolving get_hermes_home() inside the coroutine. Most
visible symptom: OAuth token-store paths (HERMES_HOME/mcp-tokens/)
resolved against the process home instead of the selected profile, so
testing an OAuth MCP cross-profile read the wrong tokens.
_run_on_mcp_loop now wraps scheduled coroutines with the caller's
context-local override (_wrap_with_home_override): set inside the task's
own context on the loop, reset on completion — task-local, so concurrent
calls carrying different scopes don't interfere, and the loop thread's
default context stays untouched. No-op (coroutine passes through
unwrapped) when no override is active, i.e. every non-dashboard caller.
web_server's probe comment updated from 'known limit' to 'covered'.
Tests: override propagation (direct + factory form), OAuth token-path
resolution on the loop, loop-context cleanliness after scoped calls,
no-op passthrough. 225 green across mcp_tool + unification suites.
* test(mcp): concurrent different-scope calls don't interfere
A long-lived Baileys bridge survives gateway restarts AND hermes update:
connect() adopted any bridge already listening with status connected, and
disconnect() only kills bridges the adapter spawned itself. Users who
updated to get inbound media support kept talking to a bridge process
serving months-old bridge.js — images and voice notes still arrived as
placeholders with no cached file path (refs #19105 follow-up reports).
Three fixes in the same stale-bridge class:
- Staleness handshake: bridge.js reports a sha256 self-hash in /health
(scriptHash); connect() compares it against bridge.js on disk and
restarts the bridge on mismatch. Pre-handshake bridges report no hash
and are treated as stale, so every existing stale bridge gets recycled
exactly once on the next gateway start.
- npm dep refresh: deps reinstall when package.json changes (stamp file
in node_modules), not only when node_modules is missing — a Baileys
pin bump now actually lands.
- Cache-dir passthrough: the gateway passes profile-aware
HERMES_{IMAGE,AUDIO,DOCUMENT}_CACHE_DIR to the bridge instead of the
bridge hardcoding ~/.hermes/image_cache etc., fixing media paths under
HERMES_HOME overrides, profiles, and the new cache/ layout.
* feat(dashboard): unify multi-profile management — one machine dashboard, global profile switcher
The dashboard becomes a machine-level management surface with one
write-target selector, replacing per-profile dashboard fragmentation.
Backend:
- profile param (query or body) on /api/config (get/put/raw), /api/env
(get/put/delete/reveal), /api/mcp/servers (list/add/remove/test/enabled),
/api/mcp/catalog (list/install), /api/model/info, /api/model/set —
all scoped through the existing _profile_scope() context manager
- model/set restructured: expensive-model warning (await) runs before the
scope; the config write runs sync inside the scope in a worker thread
- MCP catalog installs + git-bootstrap entries spawn 'hermes -p <profile>'
- chat PTY: ?profile= on /api/pty points the child's HERMES_HOME at the
profile dir (its own gateway subprocess, config/skills/memory/state.db
all profile-bound); in-process gateway attach skipped when scoped
CLI launch unification:
- '<profile> dashboard' routes to the machine dashboard: attach (open
browser at ?profile=) when one is listening, else re-exec pinned to the
default profile with --open-profile preselecting the launcher
- --isolated preserves the old dedicated per-profile server behavior
- start_server(initial_profile=...) appends ?profile= to the auto-open URL
Frontend:
- ProfileProvider + sidebar ProfileSwitcher: ONE global selector, URL-
persisted (?profile=), mirrored into fetchJSON which auto-appends the
param to the scoped endpoint families (explicit params win)
- app-wide amber banner names the managed profile
- SkillsPage's page-local selector (from the skills-scoping PR) folded
into the global context — single source of truth
- ChatPage threads the scope into the PTY WS URL; switching profiles
remounts the terminal into a fresh scoped session
Omitted profile keeps legacy behavior everywhere.
* docs(dashboard): document machine-level multi-profile management
- web-dashboard.md: 'Managing multiple profiles' section (switcher, URL
deep-links, unified launch, --isolated, scoped Chat, what stays
per-profile) + --isolated in the options table
- profiles.md: 'From the dashboard' subsection + set-as-active vs
switcher clarification
- cli-commands.md: --isolated flag + profile-alias launch example
* fix(dashboard): address profile-unification review findings
Review findings (dev review on PR #44007):
1. HIGH — stale page state on profile switch: pages load data on mount
and didn't consume the profile scope, so a page opened under profile A
kept showing A's state while writes silently targeted the newly
selected B. Fixed structurally: ProfileKeyedRoutes wraps the routed
page tree and keys it by the selected profile, remounting every page
(fresh state + refetch) on switch. ChatPage keeps its own remount
(channel keyed on scopedProfile).
2. HIGH — /api/model/auxiliary read was unscoped while /api/model/set
wrote scoped (Models page could show default's aux pins while editing
worker's). Endpoint now takes profile + _profile_scope, added to
PROFILE_SCOPED_PREFIXES, HTTPException re-raise so ghost profiles 404
instead of 500. Regression test asserts read/write symmetry with
differing worker/default aux config.
3. MEDIUM — tools post-setup spawned unscoped from the profile-aware
drawer. Now spawns 'hermes -p <profile> tools post-setup <key>'
(same mechanism as hub installs); drawer threads its profile prop.
Most hooks install machine-level artifacts where the scope is inert,
but hooks reading config/env now see the drawer's HERMES_HOME.
4. LOW — ty warnings: env Optional asserts before subscript/membership,
fastapi import replaced with web_server.HTTPException re-use.
298 tests green across the four affected suites; tsc -b + vite build
green; aux scoping E2E-verified with real imports.
* fix(dashboard): address second profile-unification review (gille)
1. BLOCKER — profile scope dropped on sidebar navigation: ProfileProvider
derived the selection from the current URL, and nav links are bare
paths, so clicking Config from /skills?profile=worker silently reset
the write target. State is now the source of truth; an effect
re-asserts ?profile= onto the new location after every navigation
(URL stays a synchronized projection for deep links/refresh), and an
incoming URL param (e.g. 'Manage skills & tools' links) still wins.
2. BLOCKER — /api/model/options unscoped while model/set wrote scoped:
the picker context (current model/provider, custom providers,
per-profile .env auth state) now loads inside _profile_scope; added
to PROFILE_SCOPED_PREFIXES. Test: a worker-only current-model pin
appears in the scoped payload and not the unscoped one.
3. BLOCKER — MCP test-server probe escaped the scope after the config
read: the probe now re-enters _profile_scope inside the worker thread
so env-placeholder expansion resolves against the selected profile's
.env. Known limit (documented): the probe's dedicated MCP event-loop
thread doesn't inherit the contextvar (OAuth token paths). Test
asserts get_hermes_home() inside the probe == the worker profile dir.
4. BLOCKER — broad excepts swallowed unknown-profile 404s: /api/model/info
degraded to 200-with-empty-model-info and /api/mcp/catalog to a
silently-empty catalog. Both re-raise HTTPException; 404 regression
tests added for info/options/catalog.
Polish: scope banner clears the fixed mobile header (mt-14 lg:mt-0);
--open-profile hidden via argparse.SUPPRESS (internal re-exec flag);
attach-path test now asserts the opened ?profile= URL.
(Stale-page-state + /api/model/auxiliary findings from this review were
already fixed in 92bcd1568 — the review ran against e600f6951.)
35 tests in the two new suites + 274 in the adjacent ones, all green;
tsc -b + vite build green; scoping E2E-verified with real imports.
* docs(dashboard)+fix: self-review pass — Profiles page section, REST profile-param tip, body-beats-query precedence
Docs:
- web-dashboard.md: add the missing 'Profiles' subsection to Pages
(cards, create/builder, manage-skills jump, set-as-active vs switcher
distinction, editors); REST API section gets a profile-scoped-endpoints
tip documenting ?profile= / body profile / 404 semantics / /api/pty
- (profiles.md + cli-commands.md were already updated in e600f6951)
Precedence fix: scoped endpoints taking BOTH a query param and a body
field now resolve body.profile first. The SPA's fetchJSON injects the
query param from the GLOBAL switcher; an explicit body.profile (e.g.
Profile Builder flows writing into a specific new profile) is the more
specific intent and must not be overridden by whatever the sidebar
happens to be set to. Matches the documented 'explicit beats global'
contract in api.ts.
Verified: 304 tests green across the four suites; tsc -b + vite build
green; docusaurus build green (only pre-existing broken-link warnings,
none from this PR's pages).
The pre-update / pre-migration backup path (_write_full_zip_backup) had the
same /tmp staging bug as run_backup: a small tmpfs at the default tempfile
location silently drops large *.db files from the archive. Route its SQLite
staging temp files to the output zip's directory as well, and add regression
tests (mutation-verified) for both staging paths.
Co-authored-by: liuhao1024 <sunsky.lau@gmail.com>
Two bugs in the backup routine:
1. SQLite safe-copy used tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile() which defaults to
the system temp directory (/tmp). When /tmp is a small tmpfs and the
database is large, the copy silently fails and the resulting zip is
missing state.db, kanban.db, and response_store.db.
Fix: pass dir=out_path.parent so the temp file is staged alongside the
output zip on the same filesystem.
2. _EXCLUDED_DIRS contained "hermes-agent" which matched at ANY path
depth, accidentally excluding the Hermes Agent skill directory at
skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/.
Fix: special-case "hermes-agent" to only match when it is the first
path component (the root-level code checkout). All other excluded dir
names continue to match at any depth.
Regression tests added for both fixes.
Follow-up to the salvaged #41264 (Windows watcher): the setsid/bash detached
restart watcher on Linux/macOS inherits _HERMES_GATEWAY=1 the same way, so
the CLI's self-restart loop guard silently refuses 'hermes gateway restart'
and the gateway never comes back. Scrub the marker from the watcher env on
the POSIX branch as well, and extend the setsid test to assert it.
When the agent runs several terminal commands back-to-back, each
progress line repeated the '💻 terminal' header above its fenced code
block, cluttering the progress bubble. Now only the first terminal call
in a streak emits the header; subsequent consecutive terminal calls
render adjacent code blocks. Any other tool (or non-block preview)
resets the streak so the next terminal call gets a fresh header.
* fix(cli): omit --workspace when subpackage has its own package-lock.json
When ui-tui/ (or web/) contains its own package-lock.json, _workspace_root()
returns the subpackage directory itself. Passing --workspace ui-tui in that
case fails because npm cannot find a workspace named 'ui-tui' inside ui-tui/.
Fix: skip the --workspace flag when npm_cwd equals the target directory,
running a plain 'npm install' from the standalone project root instead.
Applies the same fix to both _make_tui_argv (TUI) and _build_web_ui (web).
Fixes#42973
* test(cli): fix web workspace-scope fixture + cover own-lockfile fallback (#42973)
The web half of the #42977 fix broke test_npm_install_uses_workspace_web_scope,
which built its fixture with no lockfile anywhere. Without a root lockfile,
_workspace_root(web_dir) already returns web_dir, so the new
"() if npm_cwd == web_dir" branch correctly drops --workspace and the
assertion failed. Model a real workspace checkout instead: the single
package-lock.json lives at the root, so --workspace web scopes the install.
Also add the symmetric web regression test (web/ carrying its own lockfile =>
--workspace must be dropped and the install runs plainly from web_dir via
npm ci), matching the TUI coverage already in test_tui_npm_install.py.

* feat(agent): coding-context posture with per-model edit-format tuning
Hermes detects when it's running in a coding context — an interactive
surface (CLI, TUI, ACP, desktop) sitting in a code workspace (git repo or
recognised project root) — and shifts into a coding posture. Outside that
(chat platforms, non-workspaces) nothing changes.
The posture is modelled as a frozen RuntimeMode selected from a small
ContextProfile registry (coding/general). A profile is data: the toolset to
collapse to, the operating brief to inject, and seams for model routing and
memory. Every domain reads the same resolved object instead of re-probing
git/config on its own:
- System prompt — RuntimeMode.system_blocks(): an operating brief (gather
context before editing, edit through tools not chat, verify with terminal,
cap retry loops) plus a live git/workspace snapshot, built once and baked
into the stable prompt tier so per-conversation caching is preserved.
- Per-model edit-format tuning — the brief nudges each model family toward
the patch mode it handles best: OpenAI/Codex toward mode='patch' (V4A
multi-file diffs), Anthropic toward mode='replace' (string replacement).
The model id rides on RuntimeMode; unknown families keep neutral wording.
- Skill index — non-coding skill categories are pruned from the prompt's
skill index (discovery-only; skills_list/skill_view still reach the full
catalog, with a disclosure note).
- Toolset — only under the opt-in 'focus' mode does the posture collapse to
the coding toolset + enabled MCP servers; the default posture is
prompt-only and never overrides configured toolsets.
Activation via agent.coding_context: auto (default), focus, on, off.
Subagents inherit the posture for free via toolset inheritance + the shared
prompt builder. Detection is not memoized so a long-lived gateway/TUI
process can't pin a stale posture across working directories.
* feat(agent): cover new-file authoring in the coding edit-format nudge
The per-model edit-format guidance only addressed editing existing code
(patch mode='patch' vs 'replace'), but authoring a brand-new file —
write_file, not patch — is a large fraction of real coding work and the
nudge was silent on it. Surfaced when building a single-file artifact where
the dominant operation was write_file and the steering offered no guidance.
Both family lines now lead with "author new files with write_file; for
edits to existing code prefer ...". Tests assert write_file appears in each
family's brief; unknown families still get neutral wording.
* docs(agent): correct memoization docstring + clarify TUI config-load asymmetry
* feat(agent): sharpen the coding posture — verify-loop facts, wider edit steering, $HOME guard
Tuning pass on the coding posture from dogfooding it as a harness:
- Workspace snapshot now hands the model its verify loop up front:
detected manifests + package manager (lockfile sniff), the exact
verify commands (package.json scripts, Makefile targets,
scripts/run_tests.sh, pytest config), and which context files
(AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md / .cursorrules) exist at the root. Marker-only
(non-git) projects get the snapshot too instead of nothing. The
"verify before claiming done" brief line was the highest-value piece
in evals — this turns it from advice into an executable loop instead
of making the model rediscover the test command every session. Still
stat-cheap, size-guarded reads, built once at prompt time.
- Edit-format steering covers the families Hermes actually serves:
Gemini and open-weight coding models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM,
Grok, Hermes, Llama, Mistral, Devstral, MiniMax) steer to
mode='replace' — their RL scaffolds use str_replace-style editors.
Previously only GPT/Codex and Claude families got steering; the
models Hermes users disproportionately run all fell to neutral.
- Operating brief gains four behaviors elite harnesses encode: batch
independent reads/searches in one turn; fix root causes and the bug
class (sibling call paths), not the reported site; no drive-by
refactors/renames/reformatting; never read, print, or commit secrets.
Plus a patch-failure escalation ladder: after the same region fails
twice, rewrite the enclosing function/file with write_file instead of
a third patch attempt.
- $HOME dotfiles guard: a git repo rooted exactly at the home directory
(or a marker sitting in it, e.g. a global ~/AGENTS.md) is user config,
not a code workspace — without the guard, every session anywhere under
a dotfiles-managed home silently flipped to the coding posture. Real
projects under such a home still detect via their own markers/repos;
'on' mode bypasses the guard.
Fully removes the cron per-job 'profile' arg added in #28124: the
cronjob tool schema field, CLI --profile flags on cron create/edit,
job-record storage/validation, the scheduler's _job_profile_context
wrapper, and the script-runner env override. Sequential-partition
logic reverts to workdir-only.
The context-local HERMES_HOME override in hermes_constants and the
subprocess bridging in tools/environments/local.py are kept — they
now have other consumers (dashboard multi-profile, TUI gateway).
Drop the hermes_state.py column + persistence plumbing from the salvaged
interleaved-thinking fix. The ordered-block channel covers the failure
window in-memory (turn replayed within the live conversation loop). A
session reloaded from disk after a crash falls back to reconstruction;
if that replay 400s, the thinking-signature recovery (#43667) strips
reasoning_details and retries — one degraded call in a rare resume path
instead of a schema column. Replaces the DB-roundtrip test with a
fallback-shape test.
Two additive hardening changes on the interleaved-thinking replay path
introduced by this PR's anthropic_content_blocks channel. Both are scoped
to that channel's blast radius; neither changes correct behavior.
1. Replay-time tool-input re-sourcing (credential safety).
The ordered-block channel captures each tool_use `input` from the RAW
API response in normalize_response, which is NOT credential-redacted.
The parallel tool_calls[].function.arguments IS redacted at storage
time (build_assistant_message, #19798). The verbatim-replay fast path
in _convert_assistant_message replayed the raw block input, so a secret
a model inlined into a tool call (e.g. an Authorization header value
passed inside a terminal command) would ride back onto the wire even
though it is redacted everywhere else in history. Re-source tool_use
input from the redacted tool_calls map by
sanitized id; interleave order (the reason this channel exists) is
unaffected. Adapted from #36071, which re-sources tool inputs the same
way on its replay path.
2. Broaden the thinking-replay 400 classifier (defense-in-depth).
error_classifier only matched "signature" + "thinking", so the
frozen-block variant — "thinking ... blocks in the latest assistant
message cannot be modified. These blocks must remain as they were in
the original response." — carried no "signature" token and fell through
to a non-retryable abort. The anthropic_content_blocks channel prevents
the reorder that triggers this 400 at the source, but if any future
mutator reintroduces it, the turn now self-heals via the existing
strip-reasoning-and-retry recovery instead of crash-looping. A negative
case ensures an unrelated "cannot be modified" 400 (no "thinking") is
not swept in. Mirrors the classifier broadening in #36087 and #36071.
Tests
- tests/agent/test_anthropic_thinking_block_order.py: a replay test
asserting an inlined secret is redacted on the wire while interleave
order is preserved.
- tests/agent/test_error_classifier.py: three cases — frozen-block 400
native and via OpenRouter route to thinking_signature/retryable; an
unrelated "cannot be modified" 400 does not.
Both grafts verified RED (tests fail with the change reverted) then GREEN.
Full adapter, transport, classifier and output-field-leak suites pass.
Co-authored-by: AlexanderBFoley <92330381+AlexanderBFoley@users.noreply.github.com>
HTTP 400 "messages.N.content.M.text.parsed_output: Extra inputs are not
permitted" on the native Anthropic transport. Anthropic SDK 0.87.0 response
blocks carry output-only attributes the Messages *input* schema forbids: text
blocks get `parsed_output` and `citations=None`, tool_use blocks get `caller`.
normalize_response captured blocks verbatim via _to_plain_data and replayed
them as request input on the next turn, so the forbidden fields leaked back ->
400. Like the earlier thinking-block bug, one poisoned turn wedges every
subsequent request in the session (even the diagnostic turn), recoverable only
by switching models or deleting the session.
This is a defect in the anthropic_content_blocks channel added for the
interleaved-thinking fix: it preserved block ORDER correctly but copied every
SDK attribute, including output-only ones.
Fix — whitelist input-permitted fields per block type at all three leak points:
- agent/transports/anthropic.py normalize_response: sanitize at CAPTURE so the
poison never persists to state.db (defence-in-depth).
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py _sanitize_replay_block (new): whitelist used on the
ordered-blocks replay path; also recovers already-poisoned stored sessions.
- agent/anthropic_adapter.py _convert_content_part_to_anthropic: a stored
`text` part is rebuilt from whitelisted fields instead of dict(part) verbatim
(this was the exact content.N.text.parsed_output failure locus).
Whitelist not blacklist, so future SDK output-only fields can't reintroduce it.
Block order and thinking-block signatures are preserved (the reason the channel
exists). Adds tests/agent/test_anthropic_output_field_leak.py; full adapter
suite green (163 tests). Existing poisoned state.db rows scrubbed out-of-band.
Interleaved-thinking turns (adaptive thinking, Claude 4.6+/Opus 4.8) emit
content blocks like:
thinking_1(signed) tool_use_1 thinking_2(signed) tool_use_2
Anthropic signs each thinking block against the turn content preceding it
at its position. normalize_response split the turn into two parallel lists
(reasoning_details + tool_calls), discarding cross-type order, and
_convert_assistant_message rebuilt it as [all thinking][text][all tool_use].
That moved thinking_2 ahead of tool_use_1, invalidating its signature, so
Anthropic rejected the latest assistant message with HTTP 400:
messages.N.content.M: `thinking` or `redacted_thinking` blocks in the
latest assistant message cannot be modified.
Observed repeatedly in agent.conversation_loop against api.anthropic.com /
claude-opus-4-8, recurring across sessions on multi-thinking-block turns.
Fix: carry a verbatim, order-preserving copy of the turn's content blocks
(anthropic_content_blocks) end-to-end - capture in normalize_response,
persist/restore through state.db, and replay unchanged for the latest
assistant message. Gated to turns that actually interleave signed thinking
with tool_use, so normal turns are unaffected.
Adds 3 regression tests including a SQLite round-trip covering the
crash-recovery reload path.
'Set as active' on the Profiles page only flips the sticky active_profile
file (future CLI/gateway runs) — it never retargets the running dashboard
process. The skills/toolsets endpoints called bare load_config()/
save_config(), so after 'activating' a profile in the web UI, deactivating
a skill silently wrote into the dashboard's own profile and the activated
profile was untouched.
Backend:
- _profile_scope() context manager on the skills/toolsets endpoints:
context-local HERMES_HOME override for call-time config resolution +
cron-style locked swap of tools.skills_tool's import-time SKILLS_DIR
- profile param on /api/skills, /api/skills/toggle, /api/tools/toolsets*
(list/toggle/config/provider/env), hub sources/search installed-state
- hub install/uninstall/update spawn 'hermes -p <profile> skills ...' so
the child rebinds skills_hub.SKILLS_DIR at import (the override cannot
reach import-time globals); profile validated -> 404/400 before spawn
Frontend:
- Skills page: profile selector (deep-linkable /skills?profile=<name>),
amber banner naming the managed profile, threaded through skill toggles,
toolset drawer, and hub browser
- Profiles page: 'Manage skills & tools' action per card; 'Set as active'
toast now says it applies to new CLI/gateway runs only
Omitted profile keeps legacy behavior (dashboard's own profile).
Replace the hermes-identifying clientInfo/User-Agent/session-id prefix on
the keyless Parallel Search MCP path with a neutral 'mcp-web-client'
identity. Project policy forbids third-party usage attribution without an
explicit user opt-in (see telemetry PR policy); MCP requires a clientInfo,
so a generic one satisfies the spec without attributing traffic.
Also adds the contributor AUTHOR_MAP entry and refreshes uv.lock against
current main (parallel-web 0.6.0).
Make Parallel the web search/extract backend with a zero-setup free tier:
- Keyless (no PARALLEL_API_KEY): web_search/web_extract work out of the box via
Parallel's free hosted Search MCP (search.parallel.ai/mcp), and parallel
becomes the default backend when no other web credentials are configured
(ahead of ddgs, which is search-only). A small hand-rolled Streamable-HTTP
JSON-RPC client speaks the MCP's web_search/web_fetch tools; the existing
web_search/web_extract tools are the only tools registered.
- Keyed (PARALLEL_API_KEY set): uses the Parallel v1 REST endpoints
(client.search / client.extract with advanced_settings.full_content) — no beta.
Bumps parallel-web 0.4.2 -> 0.6.0.
- Attribution: on the free path only, results carry provider/attribution and the
CLI tool line reads "Parallel search" / "Parallel fetch"; the paid path is
unbranded.
- Selection/registration: web tools register unconditionally (free MCP backstop)
while check_web_api_key remains a real usability probe; explicit per-capability
backends are honored (so misconfig surfaces) rather than masked by the fallback.
Tested: live web_search/web_extract against search.parallel.ai in keyless and
keyed modes; unit suites for the MCP client, backend selection, and display
labeling; full agent run shows the "Parallel search" label on the free path.
* desktop: surface /tools, /save, /personality and fix /help skill count
Move /tools and /save out of TERMINAL_ONLY_COMMANDS and /personality out of
ADVANCED_COMMANDS so they appear in the desktop slash palette and execute via
the existing slash.exec → command.dispatch fallback. The backend gateway already
accepts these through slash.exec (none are in _PENDING_INPUT_COMMANDS or the
skill list), so no backend change is required.
Recompute skill_count in filterDesktopCommandsCatalog from the filtered pairs.
Previously the /help footer echoed the unfiltered backend total — e.g. "60
skill commands available" while only ~29 actually appeared in the rendered
list, because the desktop hides terminal-only, picker-owned, and advanced
commands.

* desktop: keep slash popover live while typing args
The trigger regex `(?:^|[\s])([@/])([^\s@/]*)$` stopped matching the moment
the user typed a space after a slash command, so the popover never showed arg
completions for `/personality`, `/tools`, etc. — even though the backend's
`complete.slash` already returns them with a `replace_from` indicator.
Split the trigger detection so `/` allows args (`/cmd arg1 arg2`) while `@`
keeps the strict no-space behavior. Restrict the slash command name to
`[a-zA-Z][\w-]*` so file paths like `src/foo/bar` don't accidentally trigger
the popover.
Rewrite arg-completion items in useSlashCompletions to insert the full
`/personality alice` token instead of stranding `/alice`: when `replace_from`
is past the command base, prepend the existing prefix to each item's text so
the chip serializer produces a coherent replacement.

* cli: complete toolset names after /tools enable|disable
SlashCommandCompleter previously only auto-derived the first subcommand level
from args_hint, so `/tools enable <tab>` yielded nothing — the user had to
remember every toolset key (web, file, spotify, …) and every MCP server prefix.
Add `_tools_completions` that handles both stages: subcommand (list|disable|enable)
and tool name. Filter by current enable state so `/tools enable <tab>` only
offers disabled toolsets and `/tools disable <tab>` only offers enabled ones —
no point suggesting a no-op. MCP server prefixes (server:) come from the
saved mcp_servers config; per-tool completion under a server would require
runtime MCP introspection and is left as follow-up.

* desktop: registry-driven slash commands with first-class pickers
Collapse the if/else slash dispatch into one DESKTOP_COMMAND_SPECS table
that drives popover suggestions, per-type composer pills, and execution.
- /resume, /sessions, /switch: inline session completions (like /skin) plus
a "Browse all sessions…" entry that opens a dedicated session picker overlay
- /handoff: inline platform completion + handoff.request/handoff.state
gateway bridge so desktop reaches CLI parity
- colored per-type pills (command/skill/theme) in the composer
- strip ANSI and fix width/alignment of slash output in the chat panel
* desktop: fold repeated slash session/output boilerplate into one helper
runExec, /title, /help and the unavailable case each re-derived the same
ensure-session → bail-with-notify → build-renderSlashOutput dance.
withSlashOutput() returns {sessionId, render} or null, so each handler is
a two-line resolve instead of an eight-line preamble.
* desktop: keep backend meta on slash arg completions
Arg suggestions (/personality <name>, /tools enable <toolset>, /handoff
<platform>) were having their meta overwritten with the parent command's
registry description: desktopSlashDescription("/personality none") canonicalizes
back to /personality and returns its blurb. Skip the lookup for arg rows so the
backend's own display_meta ("clear personality overlay", etc.) survives.
* cli: list real personalities in /personality completion
_personality_completions resolved load_config().agent.personalities — but that
schema has no agent.personalities key, so completion always returned just
`none` even though the runtime (load_cli_config().agent.personalities) ships a
dozen built-ins (helpful, kawaii, pirate, …). Read from the same source the
command actually applies, so `/personality ` surfaces the real options.
* desktop: expand bare arg-commands to their options on pick
Picking a command like /personality from the slash popover committed it
immediately instead of advancing to its argument list. Mark arg-taking
commands (/skin, /resume, /handoff, /personality, /tools) in the registry
and, when one is picked bare, insert "/cmd " as plain text and re-open the
popover on its inline options — mirroring typing "/cmd " by hand. Arg picks
(serialized text already contains a space) still commit a single pill.
Also realign trigger-popover loading test with the redesigned popover (the
/help empty-state hint shows when resolved, not while the spinner is up);
the merge from main reintroduced the pre-redesign expectation.
* tui_gateway: fold session-db close into a context manager
Both handoff RPCs repeated the same `db, close_db = _session_db_handle()`
+ `finally: if close_db: db.close()` dance. Turn the helper into a
`_session_db` contextmanager that owns the close, so callers just
`with _session_db(session) as db:`.
* desktop: unblock handoff retries and exact resume ids
Clear timed-out desktop handoffs through the gateway so retries are not stuck behind a pending row, and let typed /resume session ids bypass the loaded sidebar cache.

* fix(streaming): stop socket read timeout from preempting stale-stream detector
The stale-stream detector is deliberately scaled to 180-300s so reasoning
models (e.g. Opus) can pause mid-stream during extended thinking. But the
httpx socket read timeout stayed at a flat 120s for cloud providers and fired
first, tearing down healthy reasoning streams before the detector (which owns
retry + diagnostics) could act. Symptom: every Copilot/Opus turn dies with
ReadTimeout at a consistent ~125s and never completes.
Floor the cloud socket read timeout at the stale-stream timeout so it can no
longer fire before the detector. Local providers and explicit
HERMES_STREAM_READ_TIMEOUT / request_timeout_seconds overrides are unchanged.
* test(streaming): pin read-timeout >= stale-stream invariant for cloud reasoning streams
Cover the contract that the httpx socket read timeout is never shorter than
the stale-stream detector for cloud providers on the default: small contexts
floor to 180s, >=50K to 240s, >=100K to 300s; explicit overrides win; local
providers and the unresolved-value fallback are unaffected.
CI caught tests/cli/test_cli_new_session.py asserting that /new keeps
the old session row when conversation history exists in memory. The
live transcript is authoritative: a session whose messages haven't
flushed to the DB yet (or whose flush failed) must not be pruned.
Guard _discard_session_if_empty on self.conversation_history and pin
the behavior with a test.
Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#27770: starting the CLI and
immediately quitting (or rotating with /new, /clear) left an empty
untitled session row behind. These ghost rows pile up in /resume,
`hermes sessions list`, and the in-chat recent-sessions browser.
- SessionDB.delete_session_if_empty(): transactional check-and-delete
that only removes rows with no messages, no title, and no child
sessions (delegate subagent parents are preserved). Also removes
on-disk transcript files via the existing _remove_session_files.
- HermesCLI._discard_session_if_empty(): thin wrapper, wired into the
cli_close shutdown path and the new_session() rotation path.
Skipped when /exit --delete already handles removal.
Unlike the one-shot prune_empty_ghost_sessions migration (TUI-only,
24h-old rows), this prevents new ghost rows from accumulating at the
moment they would be created.
Follow-ups on top of the two salvaged GodsBoy commits, all live-validated
against the real Telegram Bot API:
- _edit_overflow_split finalize fallbacks degrade to _strip_mdv2() clean
text instead of putting raw **markdown** markers on screen (salvaged
from PR #43463 minus its format-first sizing — live probes show
Telegram's 4096 limit counts PARSED text, so MarkdownV2 escape
inflation cannot cause MESSAGE_TOO_LONG and sizing against formatted
wire length only causes premature splits and fragment messages).
- Skip the redundant requires-finalize edit after a got_done edit that
split-and-delivered (salvaged from PR #43463): re-finalizing re-splits
the full text into the adopted continuation and duplicates chunks.
- _send_fallback_final only deletes the stale partial message when the
fallback re-sent the COMPLETE final text. When the prefix dedup sent
only the missing tail, the partial IS the head of the answer; deleting
it left users with only the second half of long responses (live-
reproduced: flood-control during a long stream -> head deleted,
ratio 0.54 of content visible). This is the third bug behind the
'Telegram cut messages' reports and was present on main and both PRs.
Add execution-time coverage that bare `provider="custom"` resolves a literal
providers.custom endpoint (and still falls through when none exists), plus
creation-time coverage that `_resolve_model_override` keeps a resolvable
"custom" and only pins the main provider when it is unresolvable.
The previous fix for #23387 changed _launchd_domain() from gui/<uid> to
user/<uid> to support Background/SSH sessions on macOS 26+. However, this
broke Aqua sessions where gui/<uid> is the only working domain and
user/<uid> cannot bootstrap or manage the service.
Now _launchd_domain() probes which domain actually contains the loaded
service:
1. Try gui/<uid> first (Aqua sessions)
2. Fall back to user/<uid> (Background/SSH sessions)
3. Use launchctl managername as heuristic when neither has the service
4. Cache the result for the process lifetime
Regression tests cover all four paths plus caching behavior.
The thinking-signature recovery in agent/conversation_loop.py popped
reasoning_details from messages, then continued to retry. That had two
defects.
First, the strip never reached the wire payload. api_messages is built
once at the start of the turn by shallow-copying every entry in messages
(line 919 area). Each api_messages entry has its own reference to the
same reasoning_details list. When build_api_kwargs runs on every retry
iteration of the inner while-loop, it consumes api_messages, not
messages. Popping reasoning_details from messages left api_messages
untouched, so the retry's request still carried the same thinking
blocks Anthropic had just rejected. The classifier latched
thinking_sig_retry_attempted = True after the first attempt, and the
loop terminated with max_retries_exhausted on the same 400.
Second, the pop mutated the canonical message list. messages is the
same list _persist_session writes to state.db and the session
transcript, so a single recovery permanently wiped every signed
thinking block from the stored conversation. Subsequent turns reloaded
the stripped state, hit the same 400 ('invalid signature' or 'cannot
be modified', see #24107), and the agent stopped responding entirely.
Cascading compaction-ended sessions then chained off the corrupted
parent and the affected chat could not produce a response on any
future turn.
Move the strip onto api_messages, which is the API-call-time list
rebuilt into kwargs on every retry. messages is no longer touched, so
disk I/O stays clean and the recovery actually reaches the wire.
Observed against the native Anthropic Messages API on claude-opus-4-7
and claude-opus-4-8 with the interleaved-thinking-2025-05-14 beta on
hermes-agent 0.12.0 and 0.14.0. PR #24107 narrows the trigger; this
change makes the recovery do what it always claimed to do, and
prevents the destructive aftermath.
Tests cover the api_messages strip in isolation: pop on a shallow copy
does not affect the source, the canonical messages list survives the
strip, idempotency on a duplicate firing path, and a no-op when no
reasoning_details exist on the messages.
Related: #24107, #26959, #17861.
Anthropic returns a 400 when the thinking/redacted_thinking blocks in the
latest assistant message are mutated upstream: 'thinking or redacted_thinking
blocks in the latest assistant message cannot be modified. These blocks must
remain as they were in the original response.'
The classifier's thinking_signature branch only matched on the substring
'signature', so this variant fell through to a non-retryable client error
and hard-aborted the turn -- even though the existing strip-reasoning_details
-and-retry recovery would have healed it.
Broaden the 400 match to also catch 'cannot be modified' / 'must remain as
they were' (still gated on 'thinking'), routing it to the same recovery.
Adds a negative-case test so unrelated 'cannot be modified' 400s are not
swept in.
Defense-in-depth, orthogonal to the root-cause work in #35975 / #17861
(which prevent the block mutation in the first place). Only changes a
terminal-failure into a one-shot recovery.

* feat(profiles): extend create endpoint for full profile-builder (model + MCPs + skills)
Backend foundation for the dashboard profile builder. Extends POST /api/profiles
to accept, in one call, everything a profile needs beyond name/clone:
- mcp_servers[] -> written into the new profile's config.yaml
- keep_skills[] -> replace-semantics: disable every seeded skill not kept
- hub_skills[] -> async install via 'hermes -p <name> skills install <id>'
All applied best-effort AFTER the profile dir exists, so a hiccup in any one
never 500s the create. Model/MCP/keep-skills writes are profile-scoped via the
HERMES_HOME context override (same mechanism as the existing _write_profile_model).
Hub installs go through a subprocess scoped with -p because skills_hub.SKILLS_DIR
is import-time-bound and the runtime override can't redirect it.
Adds two helpers (_write_profile_mcp_servers, _disable_unselected_skills) and a
TestClient test asserting all four paths land in the NEW profile's config and
the hub spawn is scoped to it. Design doc at docs/design/profile-builder.md.
* feat(dashboard): full-featured profile builder page
Adds a dedicated /profiles/new builder that composes everything a profile
needs into one stepped create flow, reusing the existing Models/Skills/MCP
data paths instead of duplicating them:
- Identity name + description
- Model provider+model picker (api.getModelOptions)
- Skills keep-which-built-in/optional (replace semantics, default = full
bundle) + skills-hub search/add (api.getSkills, searchSkillsHub)
- MCPs add HTTP/stdio servers inline
- Review blueprint -> single POST /api/profiles create
Nothing writes until Create; the one call commits model+MCPs+skill selection
and spawns hub-skill installs (reported in the success toast). ProfilesPage
header gets a 'Build' button (full builder) alongside 'Create' (quick modal).
Route is page-only (not in the sidebar nav). Verified with vite build (2258
modules, green).
- Add output_path suffix assertions (.ogg Telegram / .mp3 non-Telegram) to
_send_voice_reply tests, covering the OGG voice-note path that landed on
main in ae82eed2b (the PR's third commit was redundant with it).
- Convert test_gemini_default_is_32000 back to an invariant against
PROVIDER_MAX_TEXT_LENGTH instead of a hardcoded literal.
- Map barronlroth@gmail.com -> barronlroth in scripts/release.py.
The grandchild wrote its pid with open('w').write(...), so the polling
reader in the test could observe the file after creation but before the
write flushed, parsing '' -> ValueError: invalid literal for int().
Write to a temp file and os.replace() it into place so the pid file only
ever appears fully written.
