Add a generic per-platform PlatformConfig.typing_indicator flag (default
True) that gates the _keep_typing refresh loop in
_process_message_background. When false, the loop is never spawned, so no
typing/"is thinking…" status is shown on that platform — message delivery
is otherwise unchanged.
Mirrors the gateway_restart_notification contract exactly: dataclass field
+ to_dict/from_dict (with extra-fallback resolution) + shared-key bridge in
load_gateway_config, so 'slack: typing_indicator: false' under platforms
works without a separate block. Generic by design — the same key works for
every platform (Slack 'is thinking…', Telegram/Discord/Signal typing).
Motivated by users who find Slack's assistant 'is thinking…' status noisy
(it also briefly disables the compose box, via the Assistant API).
A Slack user/legacy token (xoxp-...) makes auth.test resolve to the
installing human's member ID with no bot_id, so the adapter binds its
identity (_bot_user_id / _team_bot_user_ids) to that human. Every
"is this the bot?" check then misfires: that person's <@...> mentions
wake the bot and are stripped as the bot's own mention, so the agent is
genuinely told it was @mentioned and replies to messages merely
addressed to that human (symptom: bot responds to "@trevor ..." and
insists it was explicitly mentioned).
There is no runtime API error to catch — a user token still
sends/receives — so the only detectable moment is connect time. Add a
warning-only nudge (_warn_if_not_bot_token) alongside the existing
group-DM scope nudge: when auth.test resolves a user_id but no bot_id,
log that the token is a user token and to use the xoxb-... Bot User
OAuth Token. Warning-only: does not block a working-but-misconfigured
install. Fires once per workspace per process.
Channel users get the same context split the desktop popover shows
(PR #54907) — system prompt, tools, rules, skills, MCP, subagents,
memory, conversation — under the existing Context line in /usage.
Reuses agent.context_breakdown.compute_session_context_breakdown, so
there is no new tool and no new engine. The slices are estimates
(chars/4) and the block is labelled _(estimated)_; the headline
Context line keeps using the provider-measured last_prompt_tokens.
Rendering is fail-open: any engine error returns no breakdown and the
rest of /usage is unaffected.
- gateway/slash_commands.py: _context_breakdown_lines() helper + wire
into _handle_usage_command
- locales/*.yaml: breakdown_header, breakdown_line, and 8 category
labels across all 16 locales (parity gate)
- tests/gateway/test_usage_command.py: render + fail-open coverage
* feat(display): friendly human-phrased tool labels for built-in tools
Built-in tools now render ChatGPT-style status verbs ('Searching the web
for ...', 'Reading <file>', 'Browsing <url>') on the CLI spinner and
gateway/desktop tool-progress instead of the raw tool name.
- agent/display.py: _TOOL_VERBS map + build_tool_label() + set/get
friendly-labels flag (default on). Custom/plugin/MCP tools fall back to
the raw preview; verbose gateway mode left untouched (debug surface).
- tool_executor.py / tui_gateway / gateway: route the three spinner sites,
the TUI _tool_ctx, and the gateway all/new progress line through the label.
- config: display.friendly_tool_labels (default True, per-platform aware).
Zero new core tool / schema footprint — pure display layer.
* docs: add PR infographic for friendly tool labels
* fix(display): preserve arg preview in gateway friendly labels + update tests
The first gateway pass re-derived the label from the callback's `args`, which
is empty ({}) at the gateway tool.started callsite — the command/query lives in
the `preview` string, so terminal rendered as a bare '💻 Running' and dedup
collapsed consecutive commands. Now the gateway prefixes the verb onto the
already-computed preview via get_tool_verb/tool_verb_connector/verb_drops_preview,
preserving the command/url/query. CLI spinner path (real args) keeps build_tool_label.
Tests: update test_run_progress_topics exact-format assertions to the friendly
form ('💻 Running pwd'), add a format-agnostic preview extractor for the
truncation tests (works for both quoted-legacy and verb-prefixed output).
* test(tui): update resume-display context to friendly tool label
_tool_ctx now uses build_tool_label, so the desktop resume-view context for a
search_files turn reads 'Searching files for resume' instead of the bare
'resume' preview — consistent with live tool-progress. Update the assertion.
* test(tui): harden no-race worker test against sibling shard leakage
test_session_create_no_race_keeps_worker_alive flaked under -j 8: a daemon
build thread leaked from a prior session.create test in the same shard process
fires close/unregister against its own (foreign) session_key after this test
patches the global approval hooks, polluting the captured lists. Scope the
assertions to this session's own session_key so the regression intent
(this session's worker/notify must survive) is preserved while the test
becomes immune to shard composition. Not related to friendly-tool-labels.
The topic-mode helpers (_telegram_topic_mode_enabled,
_recover_telegram_topic_thread_id, _record/_sync_telegram_topic_binding,
_is_telegram_topic_lane/_root_lobby, _normalize_source_for_session_key,
_telegram_topic_new_header, _schedule_telegram_topic_title_rename, and the
base.py _apply_topic_recovery hook) each run a synchronous SessionDB read or
write. They reach the event loop through async handlers, so a contended
state.db froze the loop the same way the handoff watcher did.
These helpers already run off-loop in the run_sync thread-pool closure, so
they are proven thread-safe there. Rather than colour them async, loop-side
callers now invoke them via asyncio.to_thread(...); the executor callers are
unchanged. Inside the helpers the SessionDB handle is unwrapped to the sync
door (getattr(db, '_db', db)) since they always run on a worker thread, and
AIAgent construction + query_session_listing are handed the sync SessionDB
directly. base.py wraps its single _apply_topic_recovery call in to_thread.
The guard is now alias-aware (catches db = getattr(self, '_session_db', None);
db.method(...)) and enforces the offload contract: the offloaded sync helpers
may never be called bare on the loop. Sibling test fixtures wrap their injected
SessionDB in AsyncSessionDB to match how the gateway holds it.
* fix(gateway): skip confirmed-dead delivery targets (deleted groups, blocked bots)
A deleted Telegram group, kicked/blocked bot, or deactivated user keeps
throwing Forbidden/not_found on every cron tick and fan-out delivery. Each
retry burns a send against the platform's flood-control envelope and spams
the logs, making the whole session feel broken even when the model call
completed.
Add a small persistent DeadTargetRegistry (per-profile JSON under
HERMES_HOME) that records a target the moment a send reports a whole-chat
death (forbidden / chat-level not_found), and have DeliveryRouter.deliver()
short-circuit it on subsequent attempts. Self-healing: any successful send
clears the flag, so a user re-adding the bot recovers with no manual cleanup.
Thread/topic-level not_found is NOT recorded (adapters already self-heal that
by retrying without reply_to). Transient/timeout errors are never marked dead.
* infographic: dead delivery target skipping
Add a generic suppress_notification flag to the drain-request marker. When a
drain that ends in process exit (e.g. a NAS auto-update image migration on the
always-on Hermes Cloud fleet) is flagged, the gateway skips ONLY the
home-channel 'gateway shutting down' broadcast — the operator-flavoured ping
that would otherwise fire on every routine auto-update, dozens of times a day.
The per-active-session interrupt ping is ALWAYS kept: on a drained shutdown
it's empty by construction, and in the force-interrupt (deadline-exceeded) case
it carries the user-valuable 'your task was cut off, message me to resume' hint.
The gateway stays agnostic about WHY a drain is quiet (generic boolean, not a
kind enum); the policy of which drain causes set the flag lives in the caller
(NAS). Default-false so legacy/operator drains behave exactly as before. The
reader reuses the NS-570 epoch-staleness check so an orphaned marker on the
durable volume can never silence a fresh gateway's legitimate broadcast.
- drain_control.py: write_drain_request gains suppress_notification; new
drain_notification_suppressed() reader (current-epoch + truthy flag).
- web_server.py: /api/gateway/drain reads + echoes the flag.
- run.py: _notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown skips the home-channel loop only.
Tests prove: flag round-trips; home-channel suppressed when set, kept when
unset; active-session ping always fires; stale/legacy/corrupt markers never
suppress.
Widen #5961's _format_untrusted_prompt_value coverage to the Matrix
room display name (**Matrix Room:**), a sibling attacker-controllable
field the original fix missed. chat_name is user-settable, so an
injected room name could render as literal markdown in the system
prompt. Adds a regression test.
Defense-in-depth on top of _safe_session_filename_component (#5958):
Sink (makes the bad write impossible regardless of entry point):
- run_agent._save_session_log: sanitize session_id before building the
session_{sid}.json snapshot path.
- agent_runtime_helpers.dump_api_request_debug: sanitize before building
the request_dump_{sid}_{ts}.json path.
Boundary (clean 400 instead of a silently-hashed filename):
- api_server rejects path-traversal-shaped X-Hermes-Session-Id on the
session-continuation path and the explicit /api/sessions create path,
reusing gateway.session._is_path_unsafe (mirrors the native gateway's
entry-boundary guard). Also enforces the session-header length cap on
the continuation path.
Tests: traversal session_id stays contained at the write site; sanitizer
always yields a traversal-free segment; the API header rejects
../, absolute, and Windows-traversal IDs with 400.
The reset-had-activity tests set total_tokens (dead state) to simulate
activity; production records activity via last_prompt_tokens. Update
the fixtures to match the field the fix and runtime actually use.
Fixes#14238. During a compression/session split at the response
boundary, the interim callback delivered unrelated commentary, setting
response_previewed=True. The suppression logic treated that as proof the
final reply had been delivered and skipped the normal send — the response
was persisted to the child session but never sent to chat.
Only suppress the normal final send when the stream consumer confirms
final delivery (final_response_sent / final_content_delivered) or the
exact final response text was delivered as a preview.
Follow-up to the group-DM manifest fix. The manifest change only helps
NEW installs; existing apps keep their old (mpim-less) scopes until the
admin reinstalls. Since a missing message.mpim event delivers nothing
(no runtime API error to catch), detect stale installs at connect time
from the auth.test x-oauth-scopes header and log an actionable reinstall
nudge when im:history is granted but mpim:history is not. Also promote
message.mpim from Recommended to Required in the docs event tables so the
default setup path can't drop it.
The WeCom callback endpoint (internet-facing, 0.0.0.0) parsed untrusted
request bodies before signature verification. defusedxml already guards
the entity-expansion class on main, but there was no cap on raw body
size, so an unauthenticated POST could still force unbounded read work
pre-auth.
Set client_max_size=64KB on the aiohttp app (413 at the framework layer)
plus an explicit length guard in _handle_callback as defense in depth.
WeCom callbacks are small encrypted XML envelopes — media is delivered
out-of-band via MediaId, never inline — so 64KB is ample for legitimate
traffic. Adds tests for oversized (413) and normal-sized (not 413) bodies.
Salvaged from #10192 by @memosr (body-size limit half; defusedxml half
already superseded on main).
Relocate marco0158's eviction into the dedicated auto-reset cleanup block
(single source of truth for dropping session-scoped transient state) and
add an AST invariant pinning _evict_cached_agent into that block. Add
AUTHOR_MAP entry for marco0158.
/resume is a conversation boundary, but unlike /new it did not clear the
chat-keyed _session_model_overrides / _pending_model_notes. A /model switch
made in the previous session under the same chat session_key leaked into the
resumed conversation, running it on the wrong model.
Clear both maps for the session_key after the switch (mirroring /new), scoped
to that key so other chats' overrides are untouched. The cached-agent eviction
this leak also implied already landed via #6672.
Closes#10702.
_on_invite now rejects auto-joins from users not on the allow-list. The
DM-recording tests invite @alice and expect a join, so the shared
_make_adapter fixture now puts @alice on _allowed_user_ids.
yuanbao_media.download_url() fetched model-supplied (outbound) and inbound
image/file URLs server-side via httpx with follow_redirects=True and no
SSRF check. A model response containing <img src="http://169.254.169.254/...">
routed through ImageUrlHandler -> download_url and would fetch cloud-metadata
endpoints; same for inbound media.
Add an is_safe_url() pre-flight plus an async redirect event-hook that
re-validates every 30x target, matching the cache_image_from_url() guard in
gateway/platforms/base.py. The other gateway adapters already guard their
URL-fetch paths; this was the remaining unguarded one.
Removed/unauthorized Telegram users could inject prompt content before the
per-user auth gate fired. The adapter ran `_should_process_message`,
`_build_message_event`, and text/photo batching — and dispatched to the
runner — before `_is_user_authorized()` (gateway/authz_mixin.py) rejected
the sender. Unmentioned group chatter from a removed user was also
persisted into the session transcript via `_observe_unmentioned_group_message`,
leaking into the agent's observed context independent of dispatch.
Add `_is_user_authorized_from_message()` as an intake prefilter that runs
in `_handle_text_message`, `_handle_command`, `_handle_location_message`,
and `_handle_media_message` BEFORE batching, event construction, and the
unmentioned-group observe branch. It reuses the runner's
`_is_user_authorized()` with a correctly-shaped SessionSource (group vs
forum vs dm, real chat_id for TELEGRAM_GROUP_ALLOWED_* allowlists),
falls back to env allowlists, and only rejects when an allowlist actually
exists — unknown DMs with no allowlist still reach the pairing flow.
Channel posts authorize via `sender_chat` identity when `from_user` is
absent.

The Windows desktop GUI runs its backend headless via pythonw.exe. Several
auxiliary subprocess sites that run inside that windowless backend spawned
console-subsystem children (git, gh, wmic, powershell, bash, rg, taskkill)
WITHOUT CREATE_NO_WINDOW, so Windows allocated a fresh conhost per call and
flashed a black window on screen — sometimes continuously (the dashboard
Projects-tree git probe alone fired ~118 spawns in 60s on startup).
The terminal tool, cron, browser, code_execution, and gateway-spawn paths
already carry windows_hide_flags(); these auxiliary probe/scan/launcher legs
were missed. Wire the existing helper into them:
- tui_gateway/git_probe.py: run_git (+ encoding=utf-8/errors=replace, fixes the
cp950 UnicodeDecodeError on CJK paths from the same site)
- agent/coding_context.py: _git (per-turn git status/log/diff)
- agent/context_references.py: _run_git + _rg_files (@file/@ref resolution)
- hermes_cli/copilot_auth.py: gh auth token probe (auxiliary provider:auto)
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: wmic + PowerShell Get-CimInstance PID scan
- hermes_cli/main.py: wmic stale-dashboard PID scan
- gateway/status.py: taskkill /T /F force-kill
windows_hide_flags() returns 0 on POSIX, so every changed call is a no-op on
Linux/macOS (verified: real git/rg probes still work; Windows-simulated calls
all pass creationflags=CREATE_NO_WINDOW).
Scoped to the windowless-backend paths that cause the reported flashing. The
Electron updater-handoff leg (main.cjs windowsHide:false) and the
interactive-CLI banner probes (cli.py) are intentionally NOT touched here —
the former needs a Windows-tested change of its own, the latter runs in a
visible console anyway.
Tracking: #54220

When a stale lock file survives a gateway crash, `acquire_scoped_lock()`
may return `(False, existing_dict)` even after detecting and deleting
the stale lock (e.g. if unlink fails or a race condition occurs).
Previously, `_acquire_platform_lock()` called
`_set_fatal_error(..., retryable=False)`, which permanently killed the
platform — the reconnect watcher never retries a non-retryable fatal
error.
Change to `retryable=True` so the platform enters the "retrying"
state and the reconnect watcher can attempt acquisition again after the
standard backoff delay.
Fixes#54167
Under systemd Restart=always, the old gateway becomes a zombie (in the
process table, awaiting reap) when the replacement starts. _pid_exists()
reported the zombie as alive, so --replace waited on a PID that never
dies, then aborted with exit 1 — a silent crash loop. Standalone runs are
unaffected because nothing respawns the gateway into a zombie.
The live path is psutil.pid_exists(), which returns True for zombies, so
the check is added there (Process.status() == STATUS_ZOMBIE -> dead). The
psutil-less POSIX fallback also reads /proc/<pid>/stat (state Z) with a ps
state= fallback for macOS/BSD, before the os.kill(pid, 0) liveness probe.
Diagnosis and the /proc + ps POSIX fallback by MorAlekss (PR #44898);
extended to cover the psutil hot path so the fix applies on normal installs.

The merged CLOSE-WAIT heartbeat (#52744) only probes get_me(), which uses the
general request path and stays healthy while PTB's getUpdates consumer is
silently wedged (updater.running=True but the long-poll task is stuck, observed
on WSL2). DMs then queue in the Bot API and never reach handlers (#42909).
Augment the existing _polling_heartbeat_loop to also probe
get_webhook_info().pending_update_count. After two consecutive probes that see a
non-draining queue while the updater claims to be running, escalate into the
existing _handle_polling_network_error recovery ladder — no new restart
machinery. No-ops in webhook mode, when the updater is not running, or when a
reconnect is already in flight.
Credit to @gazzumatteo, whose PR #42959 identified the pending_update_count
signal as the missing liveness probe. This reuses the existing heartbeat +
recovery path rather than adding a parallel watchdog.
Fixes#42909.
Config-backed quick_commands bypassed the admin-only slash gate. The
early gate in _handle_message only fires for registry-known commands
(is_gateway_known_command), but quick_commands are never in the gateway
registry, so they reached the type:exec dispatch sink unchecked. An
allowlisted non-admin gateway user could invoke admin-only quick
commands — including shell exec in the gateway process — even when the
operator set allow_admin_from / user_allowed_commands to lock them out.
Apply _check_slash_access(source, command) at the quick_commands
dispatch site (the single exec chokepoint, cold-path only) using the
raw typed name. Admins and users with the command in
user_allowed_commands still run it; backward-compat (no policy set)
is unaffected.
Fixes#44727.

A hard gateway crash (exit code 1) skips the graceful shutdown path, so
sessions.json is never cleared and is left pointing at sessions already
ended in state.db. On the next startup get_or_create_session() reuses
those stale entries as long as the time/policy reset checks pass — it
never consults end_reason — so every incoming message is silently routed
into a closed session, with no log or error (#52804).
SessionStore._ensure_loaded_locked() now calls a new
_prune_stale_sessions_locked() that drops any entry whose session_id has
end_reason IS NOT NULL in state.db. Idempotent, _db=None / legacy-absent
safe, DB errors non-fatal, sessions.json rewritten only when something
was pruned. Self-heals into a fresh session on the next message.
Reported and diagnosed by @terry197913 (#52808).
#35994 moved /new reset cleanup off the loop, but _cleanup_agent_resources
(agent.close() subprocess teardown; shutdown_memory_provider() plugin IO) was
still called INLINE on the event loop from three other sites:
- _session_expiry_watcher (5-min idle sweep) — live loop
- _handle_message_with_agent cache-hygiene re-eviction — live loop
- _finalize_shutdown_agents / stop() idle-cache loop — shutdown
A wedged memory provider on any of these froze the loop: bot goes silent,
runtime-status updated_at heartbeat stops advancing, and SIGTERM can't be
serviced (requires kill -9) — exactly the #53175 zombie pattern.
Adds _cleanup_agent_resources_off_loop: a bounded (30s) worker-thread offload
mirroring the #35994 reset fix, and routes all four sites through it.
Rebase onto plugins/platforms/matrix/adapter.py (code moved from
gateway/platforms/matrix.py). Same logic: _on_invite checks is_direct
on invite events and calls _record_dm_room to persist in m.direct
account data.
Fixes#44679
- read_text(encoding='utf-8') (PLW1514)
- # windows-footgun: ok on signal.SIGKILL — module is Linux-only (reads
/proc, /sys/fs/cgroup; runs from a systemd unit)
- test lambda accepts the new encoding kwarg
Long-lived helpers spawned indirectly by tool calls (adb, platform
bridges) were left in the service cgroup after the gateway's main
process exited. When the kernel rejected the deferred cgroup-wide kill
with EINVAL, systemd blocked Restart=always for 6+ minutes, taking
down all platforms and cron windows (#37454).
Add a small ExecStopPost helper (gateway.cgroup_cleanup) that walks
cgroup.procs and sends per-PID SIGKILLs — a different kernel code path
than cgroup.kill, so it succeeds where the cgroup-wide write failed.
KillMode=mixed is preserved so the gateway still reaps its own
tool-call children before systemd intervenes (#8202).

Follow-up to the salvaged #37733 fix. The contributor centralized
redaction at _openai_error and the chat/responses failure paths, which
covers the OpenAI-compatible envelopes transitively. Two sibling classes
crossed the same authenticated HTTP boundary unredacted:
- 8x cron-management endpoints returning {"error": str(e)} on 500
- the session-chat SSE error event ({"message": str(exc)})
Route both through the same _redact_api_error_text(force=True) helper.
Add AUTHOR_MAP entry for coygeek and a TestRedactApiErrorText guard
covering mask/force/limit/passthrough behavior.
Force API-server error text through the existing secret redactor before returning OpenAI-compatible errors, response fallback text, response snapshots, and run failure events. This prevents credential-shaped provider failure text from crossing the API-server boundary while preserving debuggable sanitized messages.
Add an _is_user_authorized E2E for the platforms/whatsapp/session layout
on top of fesalfayed's resolver fix (#36665) — guards the actual
silently-dropped-LID-sender path from #36664.
expand_whatsapp_aliases hardcoded get_hermes_home()/whatsapp/session, but
the adapter writes lid-mapping files via get_hermes_dir("platforms/whatsapp/
session", "whatsapp/session"). On installs without the legacy directory the
two paths diverge, so the resolver finds no mappings and returns the bare LID,
which misses the allowlist and silently drops the message. Resolve through the
same helper so both sides stay in lockstep on new and legacy layouts.
* fix(telegram): clear send_path_degraded on successful reconnect
_send_path_degraded was cleared only in _verify_polling_after_reconnect,
60s after reconnect and only if scheduled. A clean start_polling() reconnect
left the flag stuck True, short-circuiting send() and blocking all outbound
messages until the deferred probe ran (or forever if it never did).
Clear the flag the moment start_polling() succeeds — that is the recovery
signal. The deferred probe remains a defensive re-check that re-enters the
reconnect ladder (re-setting the flag) if it detects a silent wedge.
Fixes#35205.
* docs: add infographic for #35205 telegram send-path fix
A restart now interrupts in-flight agents immediately rather than holding
the gateway open for a grace window. The previous 180s default coupled two
independently-set timers: the gateway's own drain timer and systemd's
TimeoutStopSec. On a stale unit where TimeoutStopSec < drain, systemd
SIGKILLed the gateway mid-cleanup, leaving a stale lock that made the next
startup exit immediately ('already running') — an infinite crash loop under
Restart=on-failure (#31981).
Setting drain to 0 makes the mismatch structurally impossible: with drain 0
the generated unit gets TimeoutStopSec=90 against a near-instant drain, so
systemd never kills mid-cleanup. Contract: restart the gateway, in-flight
work stops. A grace window large enough to 'save' a long agent turn would
have to outlast an unbounded task, which is impossible.
Also fixes the stale-unit warning's suggested command
(hermes gateway service install --replace -> hermes gateway install --force);
the former subcommand does not exist.
Closes#31981
Generated images under a profile gateway's cache (profiles/<name>/cache/
images/...) were silently dropped from Telegram/Discord delivery when
HERMES_HOME is symlinked under a denied prefix (e.g. /opt/data ->
/root/.hermes) and $HOME is not that prefix. The resolved path lands
under /root (a system denylist prefix), the root-home exception only
fires when the denied prefix IS $HOME, and the static safe-roots list
only covers the active HERMES_HOME's top-level cache — not per-profile
cache dirs. Both gates fail, so validate_media_delivery_path returns
None and the gateway logs 'Skipping unsafe MEDIA directive path'.
_media_delivery_allowed_roots() now also enumerates per-profile cache
roots (<root>/profiles/*/cache/{images,audio,videos,documents,
screenshots}) at check time. Allowlist match runs before the denylist,
so the profile artifact delivers regardless of the /root interaction;
profile-dir credentials (auth.json) stay blocked since they aren't
under a cache subdir.
Reopened regression of #34485/#38108, neither of which covered the
profile-scoped symlink case. Fixes#31733.
