Remove the two-tier (top/extended) provider picker that hid most
providers behind a 'More providers...' submenu. All providers now
appear in a single flat list.
- Remove tier field from ProviderEntry namedtuple
- Remove tier values from all CANONICAL_PROVIDERS entries
- Flatten the hermes model picker (no more 'More...' submenu)
- Move 'Custom endpoint' to the bottom of the main list
Adds Arcee AI as a standard direct provider (ARCEEAI_API_KEY) with
Trinity models: trinity-large-thinking, trinity-large-preview, trinity-mini.
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py,
models.py, main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py,
model_metadata.py, setup.py, trajectory_compressor.py.
Based on PR #9274 by arthurbr11, simplified to a standard direct
provider without dual-endpoint OpenRouter routing.
Three separate hardcoded provider lists (/model, /provider, hermes model)
diverged over time, causing providers to be missing from some commands.
- Create CANONICAL_PROVIDERS in hermes_cli/models.py as the single source
of truth for all provider identity, labels, and TUI ordering
- Derive _PROVIDER_LABELS and list_available_providers() from canonical list
- Add step 2b in list_authenticated_providers() to cross-check canonical
list — catches providers with credentials that weren't found via
PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV or HERMES_OVERLAYS mappings
- Derive hermes model TUI provider menus from canonical list
- Add deepseek and xai as first-class providers (were missing from TUI)
- Add grok/x-ai/x.ai aliases for xai provider
Fixes: /model command not showing all providers that hermes model shows
Cherry-picked from PR #7637 by hcshen0111.
Adds kimi-coding-cn provider with dedicated KIMI_CN_API_KEY env var
and api.moonshot.cn/v1 endpoint for China-region Moonshot users.
The v11→v12 migration converts custom_providers (list) into providers
(dict), then deletes the list. But all runtime resolvers read from
custom_providers — after migration, named custom endpoints silently stop
resolving and fallback chains fail with AuthError.
Add get_compatible_custom_providers() that reads from both config schemas
(legacy custom_providers list + v12+ providers dict), normalizes entries,
deduplicates, and returns a unified list. Update ALL consumers:
- hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py: _get_named_custom_provider() + key_env
- hermes_cli/auth_commands.py: credential pool provider names
- hermes_cli/main.py: model picker + _model_flow_named_custom()
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: key_env + custom_entry model fallback
- agent/credential_pool.py: _iter_custom_providers()
- cli.py + gateway/run.py: /model switch custom_providers passthrough
- run_agent.py + gateway/run.py: per-model context_length lookup
Also: use config.pop() instead of del for safer migration, fix stale
_config_version assertions in tests, add pool mock to codex test.

Closes#8776, salvaged from PR #8814
Three changes consolidated into the existing backup system:
1. Fix: hermes backup now uses sqlite3.Connection.backup() for .db files
instead of raw file copy. Raw copy of a WAL-mode database can produce
a corrupted backup — the backup() API handles this correctly.
2. hermes backup --quick: fast snapshot of just critical state files
(config.yaml, state.db, .env, auth.json, cron/jobs.json, etc.)
stored in ~/.hermes/state-snapshots/. Auto-prunes to 20 snapshots.
3. /snapshot slash command (alias /snap): in-session interface for
quick state snapshots. create/list/restore/prune subcommands.
Restore by ID or number. Powered by the same backup module.
No new modules — everything lives in hermes_cli/backup.py alongside
the existing full backup/import code.
No hooks in run_agent.py — purely on-demand, zero runtime overhead.
Closes the use case from PRs #8406 and #7813 with ~200 lines of new
logic instead of a 1090-line content-addressed storage engine.
* feat: web UI dashboard for managing Hermes Agent (salvage of #8204/#7621)
Adds an embedded web UI dashboard accessible via `hermes web`:
- Status page: agent version, active sessions, gateway status, connected platforms
- Config editor: schema-driven form with tabbed categories, import/export, reset
- API Keys page: set, clear, and view redacted values with category grouping
- Sessions, Skills, Cron, Logs, and Analytics pages
Backend:
- hermes_cli/web_server.py: FastAPI server with REST endpoints
- hermes_cli/config.py: reload_env() utility for hot-reloading .env
- hermes_cli/main.py: `hermes web` subcommand (--port, --host, --no-open)
- cli.py / commands.py: /reload slash command for .env hot-reload
- pyproject.toml: [web] optional dependency extra (fastapi + uvicorn)
- Both update paths (git + zip) auto-build web frontend when npm available
Frontend:
- Vite + React + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 SPA in web/
- shadcn/ui-style components, Nous design language
- Auto-refresh status page, toast notifications, masked password inputs
Security:
- Path traversal guard (resolve().is_relative_to()) on SPA file serving
- CORS localhost-only via allow_origin_regex
- Generic error messages (no internal leak), SessionDB handles closed properly
Tests: 47 tests covering reload_env, redact_key, API endpoints, schema
generation, path traversal, category merging, internal key stripping,
and full config round-trip.
Original work by @austinpickett (PR #1813), salvaged by @kshitijk4poor
(PR #7621 → #8204), re-salvaged onto current main with stale-branch
regressions removed.
* fix(web): clean up status page cards, always rebuild on `hermes web`
- Remove config version migration alert banner from status page
- Remove config version card (internal noise, not surfaced in TUI)
- Reorder status cards: Agent → Gateway → Active Sessions (3-col grid)
- `hermes web` now always rebuilds from source before serving,
preventing stale web_dist when editing frontend files
* feat(web): full-text search across session messages
- Add GET /api/sessions/search endpoint backed by FTS5
- Auto-append prefix wildcards so partial words match (e.g. 'nimb' → 'nimby')
- Debounced search (300ms) with spinner in the search icon slot
- Search results show FTS5 snippets with highlighted match delimiters
- Expanding a search hit auto-scrolls to the first matching message
- Matching messages get a warning ring + 'match' badge
- Inline term highlighting within Markdown (text, bold, italic, headings, lists)
- Clear button (x) on search input for quick reset

* feat: add `hermes debug share` — upload debug report to pastebin
Adds a new `hermes debug share` command that collects system info
(via hermes dump), recent logs (agent.log, errors.log, gateway.log),
and uploads the combined report to a paste service (paste.rs primary,
dpaste.com fallback). Returns a shareable URL for support.
Options:
--lines N Number of log lines per file (default: 200)
--expire N Paste expiry in days (default: 7, dpaste.com only)
--local Print report locally without uploading
Files:
hermes_cli/debug.py - New module: paste upload + report collection
hermes_cli/main.py - Wire cmd_debug + argparse subparser
tests/hermes_cli/test_debug.py - 19 tests covering upload, collection, CLI
* feat: upload full agent.log and gateway.log as separate pastes
hermes debug share now uploads up to 3 pastes:
1. Summary report (system info + log tails) — always
2. Full agent.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
3. Full gateway.log (last ~500KB) — if file exists
Each paste uploads independently; log upload failures are noted
but don't block the main report. Output shows all links aligned:
Report https://paste.rs/abc
agent.log https://paste.rs/def
gateway.log https://paste.rs/ghi
Also adds _read_full_log() with size-capped tail reading to stay
within paste service limits (~512KB per file).
* feat: prepend hermes dump to each log paste for self-contained context
Each paste (agent.log, gateway.log) now starts with the hermes dump
output so clicking any single link gives full system context without
needing to cross-reference the summary report.
Refactored dump capture into _capture_dump() — called once and
reused across the summary report and each log paste.
* fix: fall back to .1 rotated log when primary log is missing or empty
When gateway.log (or agent.log) doesn't exist or is empty, the debug
share now checks for the .1 rotation file. This is common — the
gateway rotates logs and the primary file may not exist yet.
Extracted _resolve_log_path() to centralize the fallback logic for
both _read_log_tail() and _read_full_log().
* chore: remove unused display_hermes_home import
Fresh profiles (created without --clone) now:
- Auto-seed a default SOUL.md immediately, so users have a file to
customize right away instead of discovering it only after first use
- Print a clear warning that the profile has no API keys and will
inherit from the shell environment unless configured separately
- Show the SOUL.md path for personality customization
Previously, fresh profiles started with no SOUL.md (only seeded on
first use via ensure_hermes_home), no mention of credential isolation,
and no guidance about customizing personality. Users reported confusion
about profiles using the wrong model/plan tokens and SOUL.md not
being read — both traced to operational gaps in the creation UX.
Closes#8093 (investigated: code correctly loads SOUL.md from profile
HERMES_HOME; issue was operational, not a code bug).
When /update runs via Telegram, hermes update --gateway is spawned inside
the gateway's systemd cgroup. The update process itself calls
systemctl restart hermes-gateway, which tears down the cgroup with
KillMode=mixed — SIGKILL to all remaining processes. The wrapping bash
shell is killed before it can execute the exit-code epilogue, so
.update_exit_code is never created. The new gateway's update watcher
then polls for 30 minutes and sends a spurious timeout message.
Fix: write .update_exit_code from Python inside cmd_update() immediately
after the git pull + pip install succeed ("Update complete!"), before
attempting the gateway restart. The shell epilogue still writes it too
(idempotent overwrite), but now the marker exists even when the process
is killed mid-restart.
Reject non-URL values (e.g. shell commands typed by mistake) in the
base URL prompt during provider setup. Previously any string was saved
as-is to .env, breaking connectivity when the garbage value was used
as the API endpoint.
Adds http:// / https:// prefix check with a clear error message.
The custom-endpoint flow already had this validation (line 1620);
this brings the generic API-key provider flow to parity.
Triggered by a user support case where 'nano ~/.hermes/.env' was
accidentally entered as GLM_BASE_URL during Z.AI setup.
- Add openai/openai-codex -> openai mapping to PROVIDER_TO_MODELS_DEV
so context-length lookups use models.dev data instead of 128k fallback.
Fixes#8161.
- Set api_mode from custom_providers entry when switching via hermes model,
and clear stale api_mode when the entry has none. Also extract api_mode
in _named_custom_provider_map(). Fixes#8181.
- Convert OpenAI image_url content blocks to Anthropic image blocks when
the endpoint is Anthropic-compatible (MiniMax, MiniMax-CN, or any URL
containing /anthropic). Fixes#8147.
On servers with broken or unreachable IPv6, Python's socket.getaddrinfo
returns AAAA records first. urllib/httpx/requests all try IPv6 connections
first and hang for the full TCP timeout before falling back to IPv4. This
affects web_extract, web_search, the OpenAI SDK, and all HTTP tools.
Adds network.force_ipv4 config option (default: false) that monkey-patches
socket.getaddrinfo to resolve as AF_INET when the caller didn't specify a
family. Falls back to full resolution if no A record exists, so pure-IPv6
hosts still work.
Applied early at all three entry points (CLI, gateway, cron scheduler)
before any HTTP clients are created.
Reported by user @29n — Chinese Ubuntu server with unreachable IPv6 causing
timeouts on lobste.rs and other IPv6-enabled sites while Google/GitHub
worked fine (IPv4-only resolution).
* feat: add `hermes backup` and `hermes import` commands
hermes backup — creates a zip of ~/.hermes/ (config, skills, sessions,
profiles, memories, skins, cron jobs, etc.) excluding the hermes-agent
codebase, __pycache__, and runtime PID files. Defaults to
~/hermes-backup-<timestamp>.zip, customizable with -o.
hermes import <zipfile> — restores from a backup zip, validating it
looks like a hermes backup before extracting. Handles .hermes/ prefix
stripping, path traversal protection, and confirmation prompts (skip
with --force).
29 tests covering exclusion rules, backup creation, import validation,
prefix detection, path traversal blocking, confirmation flow, and a
full round-trip test.
* test: improve backup/import coverage to 97%
Add 17 additional tests covering:
- _format_size helper (bytes through terabytes)
- Nonexistent hermes home error exit
- Output path is a directory (auto-names inside it)
- Output without .zip suffix (auto-appends)
- Empty hermes home (all files excluded)
- Permission errors during backup and import
- Output zip inside hermes root (skips itself)
- Not-a-zip file rejection
- EOFError and KeyboardInterrupt during confirmation
- 500+ file progress display
- Directory-only zip prefix detection
Remove dead code branch in _detect_prefix (unreachable guard).
* feat: auto-restore profile wrapper scripts on import
After extracting backup files, hermes import now scans profiles/ for
subdirectories with config.yaml or .env and recreates the ~/.local/bin
wrapper scripts so profile aliases (e.g. 'coder chat') work immediately.
Also prints guidance for re-installing gateway services per profile.
Handles edge cases:
- Skips profile dirs without config (not real profiles)
- Skips aliases that collide with existing commands
- Gracefully degrades if hermes_cli.profiles isn't available (fresh install)
- Shows PATH hint if ~/.local/bin isn't in PATH
3 new profile restoration tests (49 total).
* feat: component-separated logging with session context and filtering
Phase 1 — Gateway log isolation:
- gateway.log now only receives records from gateway.* loggers
(platform adapters, session management, slash commands, delivery)
- agent.log remains the catch-all (all components)
- errors.log remains WARNING+ catch-all
- Moved gateway.log handler creation from gateway/run.py into
hermes_logging.setup_logging(mode='gateway') with _ComponentFilter
Phase 2 — Session ID injection:
- Added set_session_context(session_id) / clear_session_context() API
using threading.local() for per-thread session tracking
- _SessionFilter enriches every log record with session_tag attribute
- Log format: '2026-04-11 10:23:45 INFO [session_id] logger.name: msg'
- Session context set at start of run_conversation() in run_agent.py
- Thread-isolated: gateway conversations on different threads don't leak
Phase 3 — Component filtering in hermes logs:
- Added --component flag: hermes logs --component gateway|agent|tools|cli|cron
- COMPONENT_PREFIXES maps component names to logger name prefixes
- Works with all existing filters (--level, --session, --since, -f)
- Logger name extraction handles both old and new log formats
Files changed:
- hermes_logging.py: _SessionFilter, _ComponentFilter, COMPONENT_PREFIXES,
set/clear_session_context(), gateway.log creation in setup_logging()
- gateway/run.py: removed redundant gateway.log handler (now in hermes_logging)
- run_agent.py: set_session_context() at start of run_conversation()
- hermes_cli/logs.py: --component filter, logger name extraction
- hermes_cli/main.py: --component argument on logs subparser
Addresses community request for component-separated, filterable logging.
Zero changes to existing logger names — __name__ already provides hierarchy.
* fix: use LogRecord factory instead of per-handler _SessionFilter
The _SessionFilter approach required attaching a filter to every handler
we create. Any handler created outside our _add_rotating_handler (like
the gateway stderr handler, or third-party handlers) would crash with
KeyError: 'session_tag' if it used our format string.
Replace with logging.setLogRecordFactory() which injects session_tag
into every LogRecord at creation time — process-global, zero per-handler
wiring needed. The factory is installed at import time (before
setup_logging) so session_tag is available from the moment hermes_logging
is imported.
- Idempotent: marker attribute prevents double-wrapping on module reload
- Chains with existing factory: won't break third-party record factories
- Removes _SessionFilter from _add_rotating_handler and setup_verbose_logging
- Adds tests: record factory injection, idempotency, arbitrary handler compat
* feat(nix): container-aware CLI — auto-route all subcommands into managed container
When container.enable = true, the host `hermes` CLI transparently execs
every subcommand into the managed Docker/Podman container. A symlink
bridge (~/.hermes -> /var/lib/hermes/.hermes) unifies state between host
and container so sessions, config, and memories are shared.
CLI changes:
- Global routing before subcommand dispatch (all commands forwarded)
- docker exec with -u exec_user, env passthrough (TERM, COLORTERM,
LANG, LC_ALL), TTY-aware flags
- Retry with spinner on failure (TTY: 5s, non-TTY: 10s silent)
- Hard fail instead of silent fallback
- HERMES_DEV=1 env var bypasses routing for development
- No routing messages (invisible to user)
NixOS module changes:
- container.hostUsers option: lists users who get ~/.hermes symlink
and automatic hermes group membership
- Activation script creates symlink bridge (with backup of existing
~/.hermes dirs), writes exec_user to .container-mode
- Cleanup on disable: removes symlinks + .container-mode + stops service
- Warning when hostUsers set without addToSystemPackages
* fix: address review — reuse sudo var, add chown -h on symlink update
- hermes_cli/main.py: reuse the existing `sudo` variable instead of
redundant `shutil.which("sudo")` call that could return None
- nix/nixosModules.nix: add missing `chown -h` when updating an
existing symlink target so ownership stays consistent with the
fresh-create and backup-replace branches
* fix: address remaining review items from cursor bugbot
- hermes_cli/main.py: move container routing BEFORE parse_args() so
--help, unrecognised flags, and all subcommands are forwarded
transparently into the container instead of being intercepted by
argparse on the host (high severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: resolve home dirs via
config.users.users.${user}.home instead of hardcoding /home/${user},
supporting users with custom home directories (medium severity)
- nix/nixosModules.nix: gate hostUsers group membership on
container.enable so setting hostUsers without container mode doesn't
silently add users to the hermes group (low severity)
* fix: simplify container routing — execvp, no retries, let it crash
- Replace subprocess.run retry loop with os.execvp (no idle parent process)
- Extract _probe_container helper for sudo detection with 15s timeout
- Narrow exception handling: FileNotFoundError only in get_container_exec_info,
catch TimeoutExpired specifically, remove silent except Exception: pass
- Collapse needs_sudo + sudo into single sudo_path variable
- Simplify NixOS symlink creation from 4 branches to 2
- Gate NixOS sudoers hint with "On NixOS:" prefix
- Full test rewrite: 18 tests covering execvp, sudo probe, timeout, permissions

- Add --env KEY=VALUE for passing environment variables to stdio MCP servers
- Add --preset for known MCP server templates (empty for now, extensible)
- Validate env var names, reject --env for HTTP servers
- Explicit --command/--url overrides preset defaults
- Remove unused getpass import
Based on PR #7936 by @syaor4n (stitch preset removed, generic infra kept).
- add all_profiles=False to find_gateway_pids() and
kill_gateway_processes() so hermes update and gateway stop --all
can still discover processes across all profiles
- narrow bare 'except Exception' to (OSError, subprocess.TimeoutExpired)
- update test mocks to match new signatures
hermes claw migrate now always shows a full dry-run preview before
making any changes. The user reviews what would be imported, then
confirms to proceed. --dry-run stops after the preview. --yes skips
the confirmation prompt.
This matches the existing setup wizard flow (_offer_openclaw_migration)
which already did preview-then-confirm.
Docs updated across both docs/migration/openclaw.md and
website/docs/guides/migrate-from-openclaw.md to reflect:
- New preview-first UX flow
- workspace-main/ fallback paths
- accounts.default channel token layout
- TTS edge/microsoft rename
- openclaw.json env sub-object as API key source
- Hyphenated provider API types
- Matrix accessToken field
- SecretRef file/exec warnings
- Skills session restart note
- WhatsApp re-pairing note
- Archive cleanup step

Adds Xiaomi MiMo as a direct provider (XIAOMI_API_KEY) with models:
- mimo-v2-pro (1M context), mimo-v2-omni (256K, multimodal), mimo-v2-flash (256K, cheapest)
Standard OpenAI-compatible provider checklist: auth.py, config.py, models.py,
main.py, providers.py, doctor.py, model_normalize.py, model_metadata.py,
models_dev.py, auxiliary_client.py, .env.example, cli-config.yaml.example.
Follow-up: vision tasks use mimo-v2-omni (multimodal) instead of the user's
main model. Non-vision aux uses the user's selected model. Added
_PROVIDER_VISION_MODELS dict for provider-specific vision model overrides.
On failure, falls back to aggregators (gemini flash) via existing fallback chain.
Corrects pre-existing context lengths: mimo-v2-pro 1048576→1000000,
mimo-v2-omni 1048576→256000, adds mimo-v2-flash 256000.
36 tests covering registry, aliases, auto-detect, credentials, models.dev,
normalization, URL mapping, providers module, doctor, aux client, vision
model override, and agent init.
- Add shared is_wsl() to hermes_constants (like is_termux)
- Update supports_systemd_services() to verify systemd is actually
running on WSL before returning True
- Add WSL-specific guidance in gateway install/start/setup/status
for both cases: WSL+systemd and WSL without systemd
- Improve help strings: 'run' now says recommended for WSL/Docker,
'start'/'install' now mention systemd/launchd explicitly
- Add WSL gateway FAQ section with tmux/nohup/Task Scheduler tips
- Update CLI commands docs with WSL tip
- Deduplicate _is_wsl() from clipboard.py to shared hermes_constants
- Fix clipboard tests to reset hermes_constants cache
- 20 new WSL-specific tests covering detection, systemd check,
supports_systemd_services integration, and command output
Motivated by user feedback: took 1 hour to figure out run vs start
on WSL, Telegram bot kept disconnecting due to flaky WSL systemd.
In Docker, HERMES_HOME=/opt/data (set in Dockerfile) and users mount
their .hermes directory to /opt/data. However, profile operations used
Path.home() / '.hermes' which resolves to /root/.hermes in Docker —
an ephemeral container path, not the mounted volume.
This caused:
- Profiles created at /root/.hermes/profiles/ (lost on container recreate)
- active_profile sticky file written to wrong location
- profile list looking at wrong directory
Fix: Add get_default_hermes_root() to hermes_constants.py that detects
Docker/custom deployments (HERMES_HOME outside ~/.hermes) and returns
HERMES_HOME as the root. Also handles Docker profiles correctly
(<root>/profiles/<name> → root is grandparent).
Files changed:
- hermes_constants.py: new get_default_hermes_root()
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: _get_default_hermes_home() delegates to shared fn
- hermes_cli/main.py: _apply_profile_override() + _invalidate_update_cache()
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: _profile_suffix() + _profile_arg()
- Tests: 12 new tests covering Docker scenarios
Previously, _model_flow_named_custom() returned immediately when a saved
model existed, making it impossible to switch models on multi-model
endpoints (OpenRouter, vLLM clusters, etc.).
Now the function always probes the endpoint and shows the selection menu
with the current model pre-selected and marked '(current)'. Falls back
to the saved model if endpoint probing fails.
Fixes#6862
After curses.wrapper() or simple_term_menu exits, endwin() restores the
terminal but does NOT drain the OS input buffer. Leftover escape-sequence
bytes from arrow key navigation remain buffered and get silently consumed
by the next input()/getpass.getpass() call.
This caused a user-reported bug where selecting Z.AI/GLM as provider wrote
^[^[ (two ESC chars) into .env as the API key, because the buffered escape
bytes were consumed by getpass before the user could type anything.
Fix: add flush_stdin() helper using termios.tcflush(TCIFLUSH) and call it
after every curses.wrapper() and simple_term_menu .show() return across all
interactive menu sites:
- hermes_cli/curses_ui.py (curses_checklist)
- hermes_cli/setup.py (_curses_prompt_choice)
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py (_prompt_choice)
- hermes_cli/auth.py (_prompt_model_selection)
- hermes_cli/main.py (3 simple_term_menu usages)
When `hermes update` stashes local changes and the restore hits merge
conflicts, the old code prompted the user to reset or keep conflict
markers. If the user declined the reset, git conflict markers
(<<<<<<< Updated upstream) were left in source files, making hermes
completely unrunnable with a SyntaxError on the next invocation.
Additionally, the interactive path called sys.exit(1), which killed
the entire update process before pip dependency install, skill sync,
and gateway restart could finish — even though the code pull itself
had succeeded.
Changes:
- Always auto-reset to clean state when stash restore conflicts
- Remove the "Reset working tree?" prompt (footgun)
- Remove sys.exit(1) — return False so cmd_update continues normally
- User's changes remain safely in the stash for manual recovery
Also fixes a secondary bug where the conflict handling prompt used
bare input() instead of the input_fn parameter, which would hang
in gateway mode.
Tests updated: replaced prompt/sys.exit assertions with auto-reset
behavior checks; removed the "user declines reset" test (path no
longer exists).
Adds a new CLI command that outputs a compact, plain-text dump of the
user's Hermes setup — version, OS, model/provider, API key presence,
toolsets, gateway status, platforms, cron jobs, skills, and any
non-default config overrides.
Designed for support context: no ANSI colors, ready to paste into
Discord/GitHub/Telegram. Secrets shown as 'set/not set' by default;
--show-keys reveals redacted prefixes (first/last 4 chars).
Files:
- hermes_cli/dump.py (new) — run_dump() implementation
- hermes_cli/main.py — parser + cmd_dump wiring
- hermes_cli/profiles.py — shell completions + subcommand set
Updated the logic for determining the probed_url in the probe_api_models function to use the first tried URL instead of the last. This change ensures that the most relevant URL is returned when probing for models. Additionally, improved the output message in the _model_flow_custom function to provide clearer guidance based on the suggested_base_url.
Based on #6079 by @tunamitom with critical fixes and comprehensive tests.
Changes from #6079:
- Fix: sanitization overwrite bug — Qwen message prep now runs AFTER codex
field sanitization, not before (was silently discarding Qwen transforms)
- Fix: missing try/except AuthError in runtime_provider.py — stale Qwen
credentials now fall through to next provider on auto-detect
- Fix: 'qwen' alias conflict — bare 'qwen' stays mapped to 'alibaba'
(DashScope); use 'qwen-portal' or 'qwen-cli' for the OAuth provider
- Fix: hardcoded ['coder-model'] replaced with live API fetch + curated
fallback list (qwen3-coder-plus, qwen3-coder)
- Fix: extract _is_qwen_portal() helper + _qwen_portal_headers() to replace
5 inline 'portal.qwen.ai' string checks and share headers between init
and credential swap
- Fix: add Qwen branch to _apply_client_headers_for_base_url for mid-session
credential swaps
- Fix: remove suspicious TypeError catch blocks around _prompt_provider_choice
- Fix: handle bare string items in content lists (were silently dropped)
- Fix: remove redundant dict() copies after deepcopy in message prep
- Revert: unrelated ai-gateway test mock removal and model_switch.py comment deletion
New tests (30 test functions):
- _qwen_cli_auth_path, _read_qwen_cli_tokens (success + 3 error paths)
- _save_qwen_cli_tokens (roundtrip, parent creation, permissions)
- _qwen_access_token_is_expiring (5 edge cases: fresh, expired, within skew,
None, non-numeric)
- _refresh_qwen_cli_tokens (success, preserve old refresh, 4 error paths,
default expires_in, disk persistence)
- resolve_qwen_runtime_credentials (fresh, auto-refresh, force-refresh,
missing token, env override)
- get_qwen_auth_status (logged in, not logged in)
- Runtime provider resolution (direct, pool entry, alias)
- _build_api_kwargs (metadata, vl_high_resolution_images, message formatting,
max_tokens suppression)
Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,

- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
- Show pricing during initial Nous Portal login (was missing from
_login_nous, only shown in the already-logged-in hermes model path)
- Filter free models for paid subscribers: non-allowlisted free models
are hidden; allowlisted models (xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro, xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni)
only appear when actually priced as free
- Detect free-tier accounts via portal api/oauth/account endpoint
(monthly_charge == 0); free-tier users see only free models as
selectable, with paid models shown dimmed and unselectable
- Use xiaomi/mimo-v2-omni as the auxiliary vision model for free-tier
Nous users so vision_analyze and browser_vision work without paid
model access (replaces the default google/gemini-3-flash-preview)
- Unavailable models rendered via print() before TerminalMenu to avoid
simple_term_menu line-width padding artifacts; upgrade URL resolved
from auth state portal_base_url (supports staging/custom portals)
- Add 21 tests covering filter_nous_free_models, is_nous_free_tier,
and partition_nous_models_by_tier
The filter in cmd_update() excluded is_default profiles from the
cross-profile skill sync loop. When running 'hermes update' from a
named profile (e.g. hermes -p coder update), the default profile
(~/.hermes) never received new bundled skills.
Remove the 'not p.is_default' condition so all profiles — including
default — are synced regardless of which profile runs the update.

Three bugs causing OpenAI Codex sessions to fail silently:
1. Credential pool vs legacy store disconnect: hermes auth and hermes
model store device_code tokens in the credential pool, but
get_codex_auth_status(), resolve_codex_runtime_credentials(), and
_model_flow_openai_codex() only read from the legacy provider state.
Fresh pool tokens were invisible to the auth status checks and model
selection flow.
2. _import_codex_cli_tokens() imported expired tokens from ~/.codex/
without checking JWT expiry. Combined with _login_openai_codex()
saying 'Login successful!' for expired credentials, users got stuck
in a loop of dead tokens being recycled.
3. _login_openai_codex() accepted expired tokens from
resolve_codex_runtime_credentials() without validating expiry before
telling the user login succeeded.
Fixes:
- get_codex_auth_status() now checks credential pool first, falls back
to legacy provider state
- _model_flow_openai_codex() uses pool-aware auth status for token
retrieval when fetching model lists
- _import_codex_cli_tokens() validates JWT exp claim, rejects expired
- _login_openai_codex() verifies resolved token isn't expiring before
accepting existing credentials
- _run_codex_stream() logs response.incomplete/failed terminal events
with status and incomplete_details for diagnostics
- Codex empty output recovery: captures streamed text during streaming
and synthesizes a response when get_final_response() returns empty
output (handles chatgpt.com backend-api edge cases)
After restarting a service-managed gateway (systemd/launchd), the
stale-process sweep calls find_gateway_pids() which returns ALL gateway
PIDs via ps aux — including the one just spawned by the service manager.
The sweep kills it, leaving the user with a stopped gateway and a
confusing 'Restart manually' message.
Fix: add _get_service_pids() to query systemd MainPID and launchd PID
for active gateway services, then exclude those PIDs from the sweep.
Also add exclude_pids parameter to find_gateway_pids() and
kill_gateway_processes() so callers can skip known service-managed PIDs.
Adds 9 targeted tests covering:
- _get_service_pids() for systemd, launchd, empty, and zero-PID cases
- find_gateway_pids() exclude_pids filtering
- cmd_update integration: service PID not killed after restart
- cmd_update integration: manual PID killed while service PID preserved
Display live per-million-token pricing from /v1/models when listing
models for OpenRouter or Nous Portal. Prices are shown in a
column-aligned table with decimal points vertically aligned for
easy comparison.
Pricing appears in three places:
- /provider slash command (table with In/Out headers)
- hermes model picker (aligned columns in both TerminalMenu and
numbered fallback)
Implementation:
- Add fetch_models_with_pricing() in models.py with per-base_url
module-level cache (one network call per endpoint per session)
- Add _format_price_per_mtok() with fixed 2-decimal formatting
- Add format_model_pricing_table() for terminal table display
- Add get_pricing_for_provider() convenience wrapper
- Update _prompt_model_selection() to accept optional pricing dict
- Wire pricing through _model_flow_openrouter/nous in main.py
- Update test mocks for new pricing parameter
Add ctx.register_cli_command() to PluginContext for general plugins and
discover_plugin_cli_commands() to memory plugin system. Plugins that
provide a register_cli(subparser) function in their cli.py are
automatically discovered during argparse setup and wired into the CLI.
- Remove 95-line hardcoded honcho argparse block from main.py
- Move honcho subcommand tree into plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py
via register_cli() convention
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup (unified path)
- hermes honcho (no subcommand) shows status instead of running setup
- Future plugins can register CLI commands without touching core files
- PluginManager stores CLI registrations in _cli_commands dict
- Memory plugin discovery scans cli.py for register_cli at argparse time
main.py: -102 lines of hardcoded plugin routing
* feat(gateway): live-stream /update output + forward interactive prompts
Adds real-time output streaming and interactive prompt forwarding for
the gateway /update command, so users on Telegram/Discord/etc see the
full update progress and can respond to prompts (stash restore, config
migration) without needing terminal access.
Changes:
hermes_cli/main.py:
- Add --gateway flag to 'hermes update' argparse
- Add _gateway_prompt() file-based IPC function that writes
.update_prompt.json and polls for .update_response
- Modify _restore_stashed_changes() to accept optional input_fn
parameter for gateway mode prompt forwarding
- cmd_update() uses _gateway_prompt when --gateway is set, enabling
interactive stash restore and config migration prompts
gateway/run.py:
- _handle_update_command: spawn with --gateway flag and
PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 for real-time output flushing
- Store session_key in .update_pending.json for cross-restart
session matching
- Add _update_prompt_pending dict to track sessions awaiting
update prompt responses
- Replace _watch_for_update_completion with _watch_update_progress:
streams output chunks every ~4s, detects .update_prompt.json and
forwards prompts to the user, handles completion/failure/timeout
- Add update prompt interception in _handle_message: when a prompt
is pending, the user's next message is written to .update_response
instead of being processed normally
- Preserve _send_update_notification as legacy fallback for
post-restart cases where adapter isn't available yet
File-based IPC protocol:
- .update_prompt.json: written by update process with prompt text,
default value, and unique ID
- .update_response: written by gateway with user's answer
- .update_output.txt: existing, now streamed in real-time
- .update_exit_code: existing completion marker
Tests: 16 new tests covering _gateway_prompt IPC, output streaming,
prompt detection/forwarding, message interception, and cleanup.
* feat: interactive buttons for update prompts (Telegram + Discord)
Telegram: Inline keyboard with ✓ Yes / ✗ No buttons. Clicking a button
answers the callback query, edits the message to show the choice, and
writes .update_response directly. CallbackQueryHandler registered on
the update_prompt: prefix.
Discord: UpdatePromptView (discord.ui.View) with green Yes / red No
buttons. Follows the ExecApprovalView pattern — auth check, embed color
update, disabled-after-click. Writes .update_response on click.
All platforms: /approve and /deny (and /yes, /no) now work as shorthand
for yes/no when an update prompt is pending. The text fallback message
instructs users to use these commands. Raw message interception still
works as a fallback for non-command responses.
Gateway watcher checks adapter for send_update_prompt method (class-level
check to avoid MagicMock false positives) and falls back to text prompt
with /approve instructions when unavailable.
* fix: block /update on non-messaging platforms (API, webhooks, ACP)
Add _UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS frozenset that explicitly lists messaging
platforms where /update is permitted. API server, webhook, and ACP
platforms get a clear error directing them to run hermes update from
the terminal instead.
ACP and API server already don't reach _handle_message (separate
codepaths), and webhooks have distinct session keys that can't collide
with messaging sessions. This guard is belt-and-suspenders.
Persist structured exhaustion metadata from provider errors, use explicit reset timestamps when available, and expose label-based credential targeting in the auth CLI. This keeps long-lived Codex cooldowns from being misreported as one-hour waits and avoids forcing operators to manage entries by list position alone.
Constraint: Existing credential pool JSON needs to remain backward compatible with stored entries that only record status code and timestamp
Constraint: Runtime recovery must keep the existing retry-then-rotate semantics for 429s while enriching pool state with provider metadata
Rejected: Add a separate credential scheduler subsystem | too large for the Hermes pool architecture and unnecessary for this fix
Rejected: Only change CLI formatting | would leave runtime rotation blind to resets_at and preserve the serial-failure behavior
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Preserve structured rate-limit metadata when new providers expose reset hints; do not collapse back to status-code-only exhaustion tracking
Tested: Focused pytest slice for auth commands, credential pool recovery, and routing (272 passed); py_compile on changed Python files; hermes -w auth list/remove smoke test with temporary HERMES_HOME
Not-tested: Full repository pytest suite, broader gateway/integration flows outside the touched auth and pool paths
When --yolo, -w, -s, -r, -c, and --pass-session-id exist on both the parent
parser and the 'chat' subparser with explicit defaults (default=False or
default=None), argparse's subparser initialization overwrites the parent's
parsed value. So 'hermes --yolo chat' silently drops --yolo, making it appear
broken.
Fix: use default=argparse.SUPPRESS on all duplicated arguments in the chat
subparser. SUPPRESS means 'don't set this attribute if the user didn't
explicitly provide it', so the parent parser's value survives through.
Affected flags: --yolo, --worktree/-w, --skills/-s, --pass-session-id,
--resume/-r, --continue/-c.
Adds 15 regression tests covering flag-before-subcommand, flag-after-subcommand,
no-subcommand, and env var propagation scenarios.
