- Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup,
status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config
Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI
supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp,
Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu,
WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up
without per-platform code.
- New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST
/test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env
pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml.
- Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row,
icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with
timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list.
- Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so
status updates without a manual check.
- Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still
reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog).
- Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes.
- Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu.
- Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false
in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present.
- pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer.
Third slice of the Microsoft Teams meeting pipeline stack, salvaged
onto current main. Adds the standalone teams_pipeline plugin that
consumes Graph change notifications from the webhook listener,
resolves meeting artifacts (transcript first, recording + STT fallback
later), persists job state in a durable store, and exposes an operator
CLI for inspection, replay, subscription management, and validation.
Design choices follow maintainer review feedback on PR #19815:
- Standalone plugin rather than bolted-on core surface
(plugins/teams_pipeline/, kind: standalone in plugin.yaml).
- Zero new model tools. The agent drives the pipeline by invoking
the operator CLI via the terminal tool, guided by the skill that
ships with a follow-up PR.
- Reuses the existing msgraph_webhook gateway platform for Graph
ingress. Pipeline runtime is wired in via bind_gateway_runtime and
gated on plugins.enabled so gateways that don't run the plugin
boot cleanly.
Additions:
- plugins/teams_pipeline/: runtime (gateway wiring + config builder),
pipeline core, durable SQLite store, subscription maintenance
helpers, Graph artifact resolution, operator CLI (list, show,
run/replay, fetch dry-run, subscriptions list, subscribe,
renew-subscription, delete-subscription, maintain-subscriptions,
token-health, validate).
- hermes_cli/main.py: second-pass plugin CLI discovery so any
standalone plugin registered via ctx.register_cli_command()
outside the memory-plugin convention path gets its subcommand
wired into argparse without touching core.
- gateway/run.py: _teams_pipeline_plugin_enabled() config gate,
_wire_teams_pipeline_runtime() binding after adapter setup, and
the two runner attributes used by the runtime.

* feat(profile): shareable profile distributions (pack/install/update/info)
Closes#20456.
Turns a profile into a portable, versioned artifact. Packs SOUL.md, config,
skills, cron, and an env-var manifest into a tar.gz that others can install
from a local path, URL, or git repo. Updates re-pull the distribution while
preserving user data (memories, sessions, auth.json, .env) and the user's
config.yaml overrides.
New subcommands (under hermes profile, no parallel tree):
hermes profile pack <name> [-o FILE]
hermes profile install <source> [--name N] [--alias] [--force] [-y]
hermes profile update <name> [--force-config] [-y]
hermes profile info <name>
Manifest (distribution.yaml at the profile root): name, version,
hermes_requires, author, env_requires, distribution_owned.
Security:
- Installer shows manifest + env-var requirements before mutating disk;
confirmation required unless -y.
- auth.json and .env are never packed (same exclude set as profile export).
- Cron jobs are packed but NOT auto-scheduled — user is pointed at
'hermes -p <name> cron list' to review.
- Archive extraction rejects path traversal (../ members).
- Alias creation is opt-in via --alias.
Update semantics:
- Distribution-owned paths (SOUL.md, skills/, cron/, mcp.json, manifest):
replaced from the new archive.
- config.yaml: preserved by default; --force-config to overwrite.
- User-owned paths (memories/, sessions/, auth.json, .env, state.db*,
logs/, workspace/, plans/, home/, *_cache/, local/): never touched.
Version pin:
hermes_requires accepts >=, <=, ==, !=, >, < or a bare version (treated
as >=). Install fails with a clear error when the running Hermes version
doesn't satisfy the spec.
Sources supported by 'install':
- Local .tar.gz / .tgz archive
- Local directory
- HTTP(S) URL pointing to a .tar.gz (uses httpx, already a dep)
- Git URL (github.com/user/repo, https://..., git@..., ssh://, git://)
Tests: 43 new unit tests (manifest parsing, version checks, env template,
pack/install/update round-trip, config-preservation, security).
E2E validated via real CLI invocations against an isolated HERMES_HOME
covering pack, install with confirmation, update preservation, update
--force-config, decline-preview, duplicate-install rejection, and
version-requirement rejection.
* refactor(profile-dist): git-only — drop tar.gz/HTTP transports and pack
Scope-cut on top of the original distribution PR: a profile distribution
is now exclusively a git repository (or a local directory during
development). The tar.gz / HTTP archive transports and the matching
`hermes profile pack` subcommand have been removed.
Why:
* GitHub tags, branches, and commits are already the right versioning
primitive. Tag pushes do for us what 'pack + upload' did.
* `hermes profile export` / `import` already cover local backup and
restore; they are not a distribution format and stay untouched.
* One transport means one install/update code path, one doc page,
and one mental model. The extra source types doubled the surface
for no real user win — GitHub auto-attaches release tarballs, and
`git bundle` / `git clone --mirror` cover the airgap case.
Changes:
* hermes_cli/profile_distribution.py — removed pack_profile,
_fetch_tar_archive (_http_fetch), _safe_extract, _archive_roots,
_safe_parts, _find_dist_root, tarfile/io/urlparse imports. The
new _stage_source has two arms: git URL → clone, local directory
→ use in place.
* hermes_cli/main.py — removed the 'pack' subparser and action
handler. Install help text updated to match the reduced source list.
* tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_distribution.py — rewritten around a
local-directory staging fixture. The install/update/describe suites
now build a distribution tree on disk directly and install from it,
which is what a real git clone produces after .git is stripped.
Dropped TestPack, TestFindDistRoot, and the tar-specific security
test. New tests cover _looks_like_git_url, env_example emission,
hermes_requires enforcement, and 'installer does not import
credentials if an author mistakenly leaks them in the staging tree'.
* website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md — 'Distribution commands'
section rewritten around git. Added a 'Publishing a distribution'
section. export/import stay documented as local backup/restore.
* website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md — dropped 'pack' from the
profile subcommand table.
* website/package.json — 'lint:diagrams' now passes
--exclude-code-blocks to ascii-guard. Without it, markdown tables
and box-drawing diagrams inside fenced code blocks were being
misidentified as malformed ASCII boxes, blocking the PR's
docs-site-checks CI with 8 false-positive errors.
Validation:
* Targeted suite: tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_distribution.py —
56/56 pass (down from 43 — reorganized to cover the new
local-dir paths).
* Regression: test_profiles.py + test_profile_export_credentials.py
102/102 still pass. export/import behaviour unchanged.
* Docs lint: ascii-guard lint --exclude-code-blocks docs returns
0 errors (was 8 on the PR before the flag bump).
* E2E: ran the real `hermes profile install`/`info` against a
local staging dir under an isolated HERMES_HOME — install writes
SOUL.md + skills to the target profile, info reads the manifest
back, a bogus source produces a clear error, and `hermes profile
pack` is now rejected by argparse as expected.
* feat(profile-dist): distribution-aware list/show/delete + installed_at + env preview
Polish pass on top of the git-only scope cut. Five additions, all small,
wiring into existing commands rather than adding new surface.
1. `installed_at` timestamp on the manifest
* Stamped automatically inside plan_install() on both fresh install
and update — ISO-8601 UTC, seconds resolution.
* Surfaced in `hermes profile info` as `Installed: <ts>`.
* Lets users tell "installed 6 months ago, needs update" from
"installed yesterday" without guessing from file mtimes.
2. `hermes profile list` grows a `Distribution` column
* Plain profiles: "—"
* Distribution profiles: "<name>@<version>" (e.g. `telemetry@1.2.3`)
* ProfileInfo gains three optional fields — distribution_name,
distribution_version, distribution_source — populated by a new
_read_distribution_meta() helper that swallows manifest read errors
so a broken distribution.yaml in one profile can't break `list`
for the others.
3. `hermes profile show` and `hermes profile delete` surface
distribution provenance
* show: `Distribution: name@version` + `Installed from: <source>`
plus a pointer to `hermes profile info <name>` for the full
manifest.
* delete: same lines in the pre-confirmation preview, so a user
deleting "telemetry" can see it came from
`github.com/kyle/telemetry-distribution` before they type
`telemetry` to confirm. No change to the confirmation gate itself —
deletion semantics are identical to plain profiles.
4. Install preview checks env vars against the current environment
* Replaces the "Env vars you'll need to set:" header with a simpler
"Env vars:" block.
* Each required var is labeled:
- `✓ set` — already in `os.environ` OR present as a key in the
target profile's existing .env (update case).
- `needs setting` — required but not found in either place.
- `—` — optional.
* Mirrors pip's "Requirement already satisfied" UX: no unnecessary
nagging about keys the user already has configured.
5. Docs: private distributions
* New "Private distributions" section in
website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md explaining that we
shell out to the user's `git` binary, so SSH keys / credential
helpers / GitHub CLI stored creds all work transparently. One
paragraph, two examples.
* `hermes profile info` section updated to mention `Installed:`.
Module-level hoist:
* `from datetime import datetime, timezone` was previously lazy-imported
inside plan_install(). Hoisted to module scope so tests can monkeypatch
`hermes_cli.profile_distribution.datetime` to freeze time.
Tests (+7):
* TestInstalledAtStamp.test_install_stamps_installed_at — format check
(4-digit year, 'T', +00:00 suffix).
* TestInstalledAtStamp.test_update_refreshes_installed_at — freezes
datetime.now() to 2099-01-01 and confirms update writes a new stamp.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_installed_distribution_shows_in_list
— ProfileInfo.distribution_{name,version,source} populated after install.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_plain_profile_has_no_distribution_fields
— plain profiles have None.
* TestProfileInfoDistribution.test_malformed_manifest_does_not_break_list
— broken distribution.yaml in one profile doesn't break list_profiles().
Validation:
* 163/163 tests pass (56 distribution + 102 profile regression +
5 new from this commit — up from 158).
* docs-lint: 0 errors.
* E2E verified: install preview shows ✓/needs-setting per env var,
`profile list` shows Distribution column, `profile show` + `delete`
preview mentions source URL, `info` shows Installed: timestamp.
* fix(profile-dist): clean errors + warn when overwriting plain profiles
Two small polish fixes found during collision sweeps of the PR:
1. ValueError from validate_profile_name now caught cleanly
* A distribution.yaml whose 'name' field can't be used as a profile
identifier (spaces, path traversal, etc.) raises ValueError from
hermes_cli.profiles.validate_profile_name, which was escaping as a
raw Python traceback from 'hermes profile install/update/info'.
* Broadened the except clause in all three handlers to catch
(DistributionError, ValueError) — users now see:
Error: Invalid profile name '../../etc/passwd'. Must match
[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{0,63}
instead of a stack trace.
2. Install preview distinguishes plain profile overwrite from
distribution re-install
* When plan.target_dir exists and IS a distribution (has
distribution.yaml), preview still shows the mild
(profile exists — will overwrite distribution-owned files only)
* When plan.target_dir exists but is a HAND-BUILT plain profile (no
distribution.yaml), preview now shows a loud warning:
⚠ Profile exists but is NOT a distribution. Installing here will
overwrite its SOUL.md, skills/, cron/, and mcp.json.
Your memories, sessions, auth.json, and .env will be preserved,
but any hand-edits to distribution-owned files will be lost.
* Users who type 'hermes profile install foo --force' against a
profile they hand-built now see what they're signing up for. User
data is still safe (memories, sessions, auth, .env are in
USER_OWNED_EXCLUDE), but custom SOUL/skills get stomped.
Tests (+2):
* TestErrorSurfaces.test_bad_profile_name_raises_valueerror_not_traceback
* TestErrorSurfaces.test_path_traversal_name_rejected
Validation:
* 165/165 tests pass (was 163).
* E2E: bad manifest names produce 'Error: Invalid profile name ...'
with no traceback; installing over a plain profile shows the warning;
re-installing over an existing distribution shows the normal
overwrite message.
* Bad HTTPS URLs still produce 'Error: git clone failed: ...' — git
itself generates a clean enough message that no wrapper is needed.
* 'install .' works correctly from any cwd.
* fix(profiles): reject reserved names at validate time
Before: `hermes profile create hermes` / `profile install` / `profile rename`
all silently accepted reserved names like `hermes`, `test`, `tmp`, `root`,
`sudo`. The profile directory was created; only alias creation failed (via
check_alias_collision), leaving a confusingly-named profile on disk — e.g.
`~/.hermes/profiles/hermes/` sitting next to `~/.hermes/` itself.
The reserved set already exists (_RESERVED_NAMES, introduced alongside alias
collision detection). This commit moves the check up one layer to
validate_profile_name so every entry point — create, install, import,
rename, dashboard web API — shares the same gate.
The error message points the user at the cause without being cryptic:
Error: Profile name 'hermes' is reserved — it collides with either the
Hermes installation itself or a common system binary. Pick a different
name.
`default` continues to pass through (it's a special alias for ~/.hermes).
_HERMES_SUBCOMMANDS (`chat`, `model`, `gateway`, etc.) stays at
alias-collision time only — those are fine as bare profile names with
`--no-alias`.
Tests (+5): test_reserved_names_rejected parametrized over the full
_RESERVED_NAMES set, matching the existing pattern in TestValidateProfileName.
No existing test uses a reserved name as a profile identifier (greppped
create_profile("hermes|test|tmp|root|sudo") — zero hits).
Validation:
* 170/170 tests pass in the profile suites.
* E2E: `profile create hermes`, `profile install` with manifest
name=hermes, and `profile install ... --name hermes` all produce the
same clean `Error: Profile name 'hermes' is reserved ...` with rc=1
and no traceback. Normal names (`mybot`) still work.
Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring.
The previous revision of this PR added six GMI-specific branches
(`elif base_url_host_matches(..., 'api.gmi-serving.com')`) across
run_agent.py and agent/auxiliary_client.py, plus a _HERMES_UA_HEADERS
constant in auxiliary_client.py.
ProviderProfile already has a `default_headers: dict[str, str]` field
commented as 'Client-level quirks (set once at client construction)'.
Other plugins (ai-gateway, kimi-coding) already use it. Two of the four
auxiliary_client sites we previously patched already had a generic
`else: profile.default_headers` fallback that picked it up (so did
both run_agent sites).
This revision:
* Sets `default_headers={'User-Agent': 'HermesAgent/<ver>'}` on the
GMI profile in plugins/model-providers/gmi/__init__.py.
* Reverts all six GMI-specific branches in run_agent.py and
auxiliary_client.py.
* Adds the generic profile-fallback `else` block to the two
auxiliary_client sites (`_to_async_client`, `resolve_provider_client`)
that didn't have it yet. This benefits every provider whose profile
declares default_headers, not just GMI — e.g. Vercel AI Gateway's
HTTP-Referer/X-Title now flow through the async client path too.
* Replaces the GMI-specific URL-branch tests with a profile-level
assertion and keeps the run_agent integration test (with
`provider='gmi'` so the fallback picks up the profile).
Net diff vs main: +82/-0 across 5 files, touching only the GMI plugin,
two generic fallback blocks in auxiliary_client.py, AUTHOR_MAP, and
tests. No core files change.
Based on #20907 by @isaachuangGMICLOUD.
Weak judge models (e.g. deepseek-v4-flash) return empty strings or prose
when asked for the strict {done, reason} JSON verdict. The old code
failed-open to continue on every such turn, burning the entire turn
budget with log lines like
judge returned empty response
judge reply was not JSON: "Let me analyze whether the goal..."
and /goal clear could not stop it mid-loop without /stop.
After N=3 consecutive *parse* failures (transport/API errors don't
count — those are transient), the loop auto-pauses and prints:
⏸ Goal paused — the judge model (3 turns) isn't returning the
required JSON verdict. Route the judge to a stricter model in
~/.hermes/config.yaml:
auxiliary:
goal_judge:
provider: openrouter
model: google/gemini-3-flash-preview
Then /goal resume to continue.
The counter resets on any usable reply (both "done"/"continue" and
API errors) and persists across GoalManager reloads so cross-session
resumes carry the correct state.
Also fixes test_goal_verdict_send.py sharing a hardcoded session_id
across tests — the shared id only worked because the previous
_post_turn_goal_continuation was a never-awaited coroutine. Now that
PR #19160 made it properly awaited, the xdist test-leakage bug
surfaced. Each test gets a unique session_id via uuid suffix.
* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks
The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.
`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.
Surface:
hermes kanban specify <task_id> # single task
hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T] # sweep triage column
hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME # audit-comment author
hermes kanban specify ... --json # one JSON line per task
Design choices:
- Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
- No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
- Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
strand a task in triage.
- All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
--all continues past individual failures.
Changes:
hermes_cli/kanban_db.py + specify_triage_task()
hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
hermes_cli/kanban.py + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
hermes_cli/config.py + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md specify + config notes
website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md CLI reference entry
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py NEW (10 tests)
tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py NEW (20 tests)
Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.
* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash
Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.
Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
- POST /tasks/:id/specify NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
- Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
tens of seconds on reasoning models.
- Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
- dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain. ✨ Specify button appears
ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
button using the response.reason text.
- dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.
Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
- Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.
Tests
- tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
missing aux client as ok=false 200.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.
Docs
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
description mentions ✨ Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.
Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.
cmd_update's auto-restart path could leave the gateway dead after a
transient failure in systemd's own auto-restart window. Reproduced
on Ubuntu 25.10 + systemd 257: after update, gateway drains and exits 75,
systemd's first respawn 60s later fails (status=200/CHDIR with
"No such file or directory" on a WorkingDirectory that demonstrably
exists), the unit ends up in RestartMaxDelaySec=300 backoff, and
cmd_update's fallback 'systemctl restart' never recovers it — leaving
users with a permanently silent gateway until they manually run
'systemctl reset-failed'.
The fix mirrors the recovery pattern 'hermes gateway restart'
(systemd_restart) got in PR #20949: always reset-failed before
restart, on both the initial fallback and the retry. Also rewrites
the final failure message to tell the user to reset-failed +
restart (not just restart, which is the step that already failed
twice).
Adds a per-task override for the consecutive-failure circuit breaker,
so individual tasks can opt out of the global ``kanban.failure_limit``
without dragging everyone else with them.
Resolution order (now three tiers):
1. per-task ``max_retries`` (new, this commit)
2. caller-supplied ``failure_limit`` — the gateway threads
``kanban.failure_limit`` from config here
3. ``DEFAULT_FAILURE_LIMIT`` (2)
Changes:
- ``tasks.max_retries INTEGER`` column + migration for existing DBs
(NULL = no override, matches pre-column behavior).
- ``Task.max_retries`` field + ``from_row`` plumbing.
- ``create_task(..., max_retries=N)`` kwarg.
- ``_record_task_failure`` reads the per-task value first and records
``limit_source`` + ``effective_limit`` on the ``gave_up`` event so
operators can see which tier won.
- CLI: ``hermes kanban create --max-retries N`` (rejects ``< 1``).
- CLI: ``hermes kanban show`` surfaces the effective threshold +
source (``(task)``, ``(config kanban.failure_limit)``, ``(default)``).
- CLI: ``_task_to_dict`` includes ``max_retries`` in ``--json`` output.
Key design choice vs. the earlier #20972 attempt:
- No new config key. The existing ``kanban.failure_limit`` (landed in
#21183) is the dispatcher-tier source — no silent break for users
who already tuned it.
- No ``!=`` sentinel for "is config set" (which would misfire when
config equals the default). The tier-winner is determined purely
by "is per-task override set" — the dispatcher always wins when
per-task is NULL, regardless of whether the caller passed the
default or a configured value.
E2E verified across four scenarios: default-only (trips at 2),
config-only (trips at caller's value), per-task-only beats default
(trips at task value), per-task beats larger config (trips at task
value). ``gave_up`` event metadata correctly records ``limit_source``
and ``effective_limit`` in all cases.
Tests:
- ``test_per_task_max_retries_overrides_dispatcher_limit`` — task=1
beats caller=10.
- ``test_per_task_max_retries_allows_more_than_default`` — task=5
does not trip at caller=default of 2.
- ``test_max_retries_none_falls_through_to_dispatcher_limit`` — None
honors caller's config value (4), records ``limit_source=dispatcher``.
Full kanban trio (db + core + cli + tools + dashboard-plugin): 342
passed, no regressions.
Supersedes: #20972 (@jelrod27) — credit in PR close comment.
Ref: #20263 (tangentially — the reporter asked about adapter API
drift, not retry caps, but the CLI discussion there is what
surfaced the original ask).
Add tencent/hy3-preview (without :free suffix) as a paid model route
alongside the existing free variant. This allows seamless transition
when the model moves from free to paid on OpenRouter — both routes
coexist so neither side's timing causes breakage.
Changes:
- models.py: add ("tencent/hy3-preview", "") to OPENROUTER_MODELS
- model-catalog.json: add paid variant entry
- tests: add assertions for paid route presence
The :free entry can be removed in a follow-up PR once OpenRouter
confirms the free route is deprecated.

When a kanban worker subprocess exits rc=0 but its task is still in
status='running', the agent almost certainly answered the task
conversationally without calling kanban_complete or kanban_block. The
dispatcher used to classify this as a generic crash and respawn, which
loops forever on small local models (gemma4-e2b q4 etc.) that keep
returning clean but unproductive output.
Dispatcher changes:
- The waitpid reap loop at the top of dispatch_once now records each
reaped child's raw exit status in a bounded module registry
(_recent_worker_exits, TTL 600s, size cap 4096).
- _classify_worker_exit distinguishes clean_exit / nonzero_exit /
signaled / unknown using os.WIFEXITED / WIFSIGNALED.
- detect_crashed_workers consults the classification when a worker
is found dead. clean_exit → protocol_violation event + immediate
circuit-breaker trip (failure_limit=1). Everything else keeps the
existing crashed-event + counter behavior.
- DispatchResult.auto_blocked now includes protocol-violation trips.
Gateway fix (Bug A in #20894):
- gateway.run._notify_active_sessions_of_shutdown snapshots
self.adapters with list(...) before iterating. adapter.send() can
hit a fatal-error path that pops the adapter from the dict, which
was raising 'RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration'
during shutdown.
Regression tests:
- test_detect_crashed_workers_protocol_violation_auto_blocks verifies
rc=0 + still-running → status=blocked on first occurrence with
protocol_violation + gave_up events and NO crashed event.
- test_detect_crashed_workers_nonzero_exit_uses_default_limit verifies
non-zero exits keep the existing 2-strike behavior.
Closes#20894.
custom_providers entries (section 4 of list_authenticated_providers) only
read the static models: dict from config.yaml, ignoring the live /v1/models
endpoint. This means gateways like Bifrost that expose hundreds of models
only show the handful explicitly listed in config.
Add live discovery via fetch_api_models() for custom_providers entries
that have api_key + base_url, matching the existing behavior for user
providers: entries (section 3). When the endpoint is reachable and
returns models, the live list replaces the static subset.
Fixes: /model picker showing only 9 models from a Bifrost gateway that
actually exposes 581.
The --command flag of `hermes mcp add` shared its argparse dest with the
top-level subparser (`dest="command"` in `hermes_cli/_parser.py`). When
the flag was omitted, argparse still wrote `args.command = None`,
clobbering the top-level value of `"mcp"`. The dispatcher then saw
`args.command is None` and fell through to interactive chat, so
`hermes mcp add ...` silently launched chat instead of registering the
server. `cmd_mcp_add` was never reached.
Use `dest="mcp_command"` on the flag and read it from `cmd_mcp_add`.
The user-facing CLI flag `--command` is unchanged; only the in-memory
namespace attribute moves. Also updates the `_make_args` helper in
`tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_config.py` to populate the new dest, and
adds `tests/hermes_cli/test_mcp_add_command_dest.py` with a parser-
level regression test.
Closes#19785.

`_save_auth_store`, `_save_qwen_cli_tokens`, and `_write_shared_nous_state`
all created the temp file via `Path.open('w')` / `Path.write_text` and only
tightened permissions to 0o600 afterward. Between create and chmod the file
existed at the process umask (commonly 0o644 = world-readable on multi-user
hosts), briefly exposing OAuth access/refresh tokens for Nous, Codex,
Copilot, Claude, Qwen, Gemini, and every other native OAuth provider that
flows through auth.json.
Switch all three to `os.open(O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0o600)` + `os.fdopen`
+ `fsync` so the file is atomic at 0o600 on creation. Tighten each parent
directory (`~/.hermes/`, Qwen auth dir, Nous shared auth dir) to 0o700 so
siblings can't traverse to the creds. `_save_auth_store` also gains a
per-process random temp suffix to match `agent/google_oauth.py` (#19673)
and `tools/mcp_oauth.py` (#21148).
Adds `tests/hermes_cli/test_auth_toctou_file_modes.py` asserting final
file mode 0o600 and parent dir mode 0o700 across all three writers, plus
an explicit `os.open(flags, mode)` check on the main auth.json writer
that would fail if anyone reintroduces the `Path.open('w')` pattern.
POSIX-only (mode bits skipped on Windows).
Flip the default for HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS from off to on so the redactor
already wired into send_message_tool, logs, and tool output actually runs
on a fresh install.
- agent/redact.py: env-var default "" → "true"
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG security.redact_secrets True;
two config-template comments rewritten
- gateway/run.py + cli.py: startup log / banner warning when the user
has explicitly opted out, so the downgrade is visible in agent.log
and at CLI banner time
- docs/reference/environment-variables.md: description reconciled
- tests: flipped the default-pin, restructured the force=True
regression test to explicit-false instead of unset
Users who need raw credential values (redactor development) can still
opt out via security.redact_secrets: false in config.yaml or
HERMES_REDACT_SECRETS=false in .env.
Closes#17691.
Addresses #20785 (short-term output-pipeline recommendation).
Issue #17648 added a post-update SIGTERM-survivor sweep to `cmd_update`:
~3s after issuing graceful/SIGTERM restarts, the code re-queries
`find_gateway_pids` and SIGKILLs anything still alive. That's the
right fix for stuck-drain gateways in production, but it broke three
unit tests that assumed `find_gateway_pids` would keep returning the
same PIDs forever:
FAILED ::TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart::test_update_restarts_profile_manual_gateways
AssertionError: Expected 'kill' to not have been called. Called 1 times.
Calls: [call(12345, <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>)].
FAILED ::TestCmdUpdateLaunchdRestart::test_update_profile_manual_gateway_falls_back_to_sigterm
AssertionError: Expected 'kill' to have been called once. Called 2 times.
Calls: [call(12345, SIGTERM), call(12345, SIGKILL)].
FAILED ::TestServicePidExclusion::test_update_kills_manual_pid_but_not_service_pid
assert 2 == 1
manual_kills = [call(42999, SIGTERM), call(42999, SIGKILL)]
In each test `os.kill` is mocked, so the simulated PID never actually
exits \u2014 the sweep finds it again and escalates. The production code
is correct; the tests just need to model OS behaviour properly.
Two-test fix (profile-manual restart cases): use
`side_effect=[[12345], []]` so the first `find_gateway_pids` call
returns the live PID and the second (the sweep) returns nothing, as if
the OS had reaped the process.
Service-PID-exclusion fix: track which PIDs got killed in a closure
set, and exclude them on subsequent `fake_find` calls. `os.kill`
gets a `side_effect` that records the kill instead of swallowing it
silently. Now the sweep doesn't re-find the manual PID, no SIGKILL
escalation, `manual_kills == 1`.

Two CI tests for the new `--yes` update flag (#18261) flaked under
`pytest-xdist` on Linux/Python 3.11 even though they passed every
local run on macOS/Python 3.14.4:
FAILED tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py
::TestUpdateYesConfigMigration::test_no_yes_flag_still_prompts_in_tty
`AssertionError: assert <MagicMock 'input'>.called is False`
FAILED tests/hermes_cli/test_update_yes_flag.py
::TestUpdateYesStashRestore::test_yes_restores_stash_without_prompting
`AssertionError: assert <MagicMock '_restore_stashed_changes'>.called is False`
Captured stdout for the first failure shows `cmd_update` taking the
"Non-interactive session \u2014 skipping config migration prompt." branch
\u2014 i.e. the `sys.stdin.isatty() and sys.stdout.isatty()` check at
`hermes_cli/main.py:7118` evaluated to `False` despite the test doing:
with patch("hermes_cli.main.sys") as mock_sys:
mock_sys.stdin.isatty.return_value = True
mock_sys.stdout.isatty.return_value = True
The whole-module mock is fragile under xdist worker reuse: a sibling
test that imports `hermes_cli.main` first can leave another `sys`
reference resolved inside the function (re-import in a helper, etc.),
and the wholesale module replacement never gets consulted.
Switch to `patch.object(_sys.stdin, "isatty", return_value=True)` (and
the same for `stdout`). That patches the *attribute on the real stream
object* \u2014 every call site, no matter how it reached `sys.stdin`,
hits the patched method. Same fix applied to the stash-restore test
(it took the "non-TTY \u2192 skip restore prompt" branch for the same reason).

Adds `hermes profile create <name> --no-skills` to create a profile with
zero bundled skills. Writes a `.no-bundled-skills` marker file in the
profile root so `hermes update`'s all-profile skill sync loop also skips
the profile — without the marker, every update would re-seed skills and
the user would have to delete them again.
Use case (from @hiut1u): orchestrator profiles and narrow-task profiles
don't need 100+ bundled skills polluting their system prompt.
- create_profile() gains a `no_skills` param, mutually exclusive with
`--clone` / `--clone-all` (cloning explicitly copies skills).
- seed_profile_skills() no-ops on opted-out profiles and returns
`{skipped_opt_out: True}` so callers can report cleanly.
- Web API (POST /api/profiles) accepts `no_skills: bool`.
- Delete `.no-bundled-skills` to opt back in — next `hermes update`
re-seeds normally.
6 new tests in TestNoSkillsOptOut cover marker write, mutual exclusion
with clone, seed_profile_skills opt-out, fresh profile unaffected, and
delete-marker-re-enables-seeding.
The setup wizard dropped non-root users at a bare shell prompt when
trying to start a system-scope gateway service. Previously
_require_root_for_system_service called sys.exit(1), which the
wizard's `except Exception` guards cannot catch (SystemExit is a
BaseException). Users with a pre-existing /etc/systemd/system unit
(e.g. from an earlier `sudo hermes setup` run) hit this whenever
they re-ran `hermes setup` as a regular user.
- Convert _require_root_for_system_service to raise a typed
SystemScopeRequiresRootError (RuntimeError subclass) instead of
sys.exit(1). The direct CLI path (`hermes gateway install|start|stop|
restart|uninstall` without sudo) still exits 1 cleanly via a new
catch at the top of gateway_command, matching the existing
UserSystemdUnavailableError pattern.
- Add _system_scope_wizard_would_need_root() pre-check and
_print_system_scope_remediation() helper. Both setup wizards
(hermes_cli/setup.py and hermes_cli/gateway.py::gateway_setup) now
detect the dead-end before prompting and print actionable guidance:
either `sudo systemctl start <service>` this time, or uninstall the
system unit and install a per-user one.
- Defense-in-depth: all 5 wizard prompt sites also catch
SystemScopeRequiresRootError and fall back to the remediation
helper if the pre-check is bypassed (race, etc.).
Tests: 12 new tests in TestSystemScopeRequiresRootError,
TestSystemScopeWizardPreCheck, TestSystemScopeRemediationOutput, and
TestGatewayCommandCatchesSystemScopeError covering the exception
contract, pre-check matrix (root vs non-root, system-only vs
user-present vs none vs explicit system=True), remediation output
for each action, and the direct-CLI exit-1 path.
* fix(tui): restore classic CLI voice push-to-talk parity
(cherry picked from commit 93b9ae301b)
* fix(tui): harden voice push-to-talk stop flow
Address review feedback from PR #16189 by stopping the active recorder before background transcription, documenting single-shot voice capture, and covering the TUI gateway flags with regression tests.
* fix(tui): preserve silent voice strike tracking
Keep single-shot voice recording's no-speech counter alive across starts so the TUI can still emit the three-strikes auto-disable event, and bind the auto-restart state at module scope for type checking.
* fix(tui): clean up voice stop failure path
Address follow-up review by naming the TUI flow as single-shot push-to-talk and cancelling the recorder when forced stop cannot produce a WAV.
* fix(tui): report busy voice capture starts
Return explicit start state from the voice wrapper so the TUI gateway does not report recording while forced-stop transcription is still cleaning up.
* fix(tui): handle busy voice record responses
Apply the gateway busy status immediately in the TUI and route forced-stop voice events to the session that sent the stop request.
* fix(tui): clear voice recording on null response
Treat a null voice.record RPC result as a failed optimistic start so the REC badge cannot stick after gateway-side errors.
* fix(tui): count silent manual voice stops
Preserve single-shot voice no-speech strikes through forced stop transcription so empty push-to-talk captures still trigger the three-strikes guard.

Profile processes (kanban workers, cron subprocesses, delegated subagents)
read the profile's auth.json only. If a provider was authenticated at the
global root but not inside the profile, the profile's credential_pool
comes back empty and the process fails with 'No LLM provider configured'
— even though the credentials are sitting in ~/.hermes/auth.json. #18594
propagated HERMES_HOME correctly, which is what surfaced this: workers
now land in the right profile, and the profile turns out to shadow global
with no fallback.
Semantics (read-only, per-provider shadowing):
* Profile has any entries for provider X → use profile only (global ignored).
* Profile has zero entries for provider X → fall back to global.
* Writes (write_credential_pool, _save_auth_store) still target the profile.
* Classic mode (HERMES_HOME == global root) skips the fallback entirely —
_global_auth_file_path() returns None.
Also mirrors the fallback in get_provider_auth_state so OAuth singletons
(nous, minimax-oauth, openai-codex, spotify) inherit cleanly — the Nous
shared-token store (PR #19712) remains the authoritative path for Nous
OAuth rotation, this just makes the read side consistent with it.
Seat belt: _load_global_auth_store() refuses to read the real user's
~/.hermes/auth.json under PYTEST_CURRENT_TEST even when HERMES_HOME points
to a profile-shaped path. Guard uses $HOME (stable across fixtures) rather
than Path.home() (which fixtures often monkeypatch to a tmp root).
Reported by @SeedsForbidden on Twitter as the credential_pool shadowing
follow-up to the #18594 fix.
- Expand migration comment to name the primary failure mode (missing
column OperationalError from #20842) ahead of the secondary SQLite
schema-reparse concern; also document the stale-cols-snapshot invariant
- Add clarifying comments on from_row() legacy fallback branches noting
they are belt-and-suspenders dead code post-migration
- Add task_events comment in existing test explaining why the table is
required by the migrator
- Add test_legacy_migration_no_legacy_columns_at_all: Scenario A —
explicitly asserts the exact #20842 crash no longer occurs and that
consecutive_failures defaults to 0 on a DB that never had spawn_failures
- Add test_legacy_migration_both_columns_already_present: Scenario D —
asserts the migration is a no-op when both columns already exist,
preserving the existing counter value
OpenCode Go and OpenCode Zen are flat-namespace model resellers — their
/v1/models returns bare IDs (deepseek-v4-flash, minimax-m2.7), and the
inference API rejects vendor-prefixed names with HTTP 401 'Model not
supported'. Two bugs fixed:
1. `switch_model` in hermes_cli/model_switch.py was silently switching the
user off opencode-go to native deepseek when they typed
`/model deepseek-v4-flash`. Step d found the model in opencode-go's live
catalog, but step e (detect_provider_for_model) still ran and matched
the bare name against deepseek's static catalog. Fix: track whether
the live catalog resolved it; skip step e when it did.
2. `normalize_model_for_provider` in hermes_cli/model_normalize.py only
stripped the exact `opencode-zen/` prefix, leaving arbitrary vendor
prefixes like `minimax/minimax-m2.7` (commonly copied from aggregator
slugs into fallback_model configs) intact — causing HTTP 401s when
the fallback chain activated. Fix: opencode-go/opencode-zen strip ANY
leading vendor prefix because their APIs are flat-namespace.
Tests: 11 new cases in tests/hermes_cli/test_opencode_go_flat_namespace.py
covering both normalization (prefix stripping, regression guards for
opencode-zen Claude hyphenation and openrouter vendor-prepending) and
switch_model (bare-name resolution on opencode-go's live catalog must
not trigger cross-provider hijack).
Reported by @Ufonik via Discord; Kimi K2.6 always worked because moonshotai
has no overlapping entry in a native provider's static catalog. Deepseek
and minimax failed because their v4/v2.7 names existed in the native
deepseek/minimax catalogs.
CPython's logging module is not reentrant-safe. `Logger.isEnabledFor`
caches level results in `Logger._cache`; under shutdown races the cache
can be cleared (`Logger._clear_cache`, triggered by logging config changes
from another thread) or mid-mutation when a signal fires, raising
`KeyError: <level_int>` (e.g. `KeyError: 10` for DEBUG) inside the signal
handler.
When that happens, the KeyError escapes before the `raise KeyboardInterrupt()`
on the next line can fire, which bypasses prompt_toolkit's normal interrupt
unwind and surfaces as the EIO cascade originally reported in #13710.
Issue #13710 shipped two defenses (asyncio exception handler + outer
`except (KeyError, OSError)` with EIO suppression) that cover the EIO
unwind path. This patch closes the remaining escape hatch: the
`logger.debug` call at the top of `_signal_handler` itself. Wrap it in a
bare `try/except Exception: pass` so logging can never raise through a
signal handler.
Observed in the wild: debug report on 0.12.0 (commit 8163d371) shows the
exact stack — KeyError: 10 at logging/__init__.py:1742 inside the
signal handler's `logger.debug`, followed by the EIO cascade from
prompt_toolkit's emergency flush.
Tests: adds `TestSignalHandlerLoggingRace` to
`tests/hermes_cli/test_suppress_eio_on_interrupt.py` with 6 new cases:
- normal path still raises KeyboardInterrupt
- KeyError(10) from logger.debug does not escape
- any Exception from logger.debug is swallowed
- agent.interrupt still fires when logger.debug raises
- agent.interrupt raising also does not escape
- BaseException (SystemExit) is NOT swallowed — guard uses `except Exception`
deliberately so real shutdown signals still propagate
Closes#13710 regression.
The kanban-worker skill (built into the gateway dispatcher's spawn
prompt) instructs every worker to hand off via
``kanban_complete(summary=..., metadata=...)``. That writes the summary
onto the closing ``task_runs`` row, NOT onto ``tasks.result`` — the
latter is left NULL unless the caller passes ``result=`` explicitly.
Result: a glance at the dashboard or ``hermes kanban show <id>`` shows
a blank "Result:" section even when the worker did real work, which
on 2026-05-05 caused a Mac false-alarm ("Hermes did nothing") on a
task that had a 10-line completion summary on its run.
This patch surfaces the latest non-null run summary as
``latest_summary`` so the worker's actual handoff lands in front of
operators.
* New helpers ``kanban_db.latest_summary(conn, task_id)`` and
``kanban_db.latest_summaries(conn, task_ids)``. The batch variant
uses a single window-function SELECT so the dashboard board endpoint
doesn't pay an N+1 cost on multi-hundred-task boards.
* CLI ``hermes kanban show <id>`` prints a "Latest summary:" block
when ``tasks.result`` is empty but a run has produced a summary
(the existing "Result:" section still wins when populated, so the
back-compat path for hand-edited results is untouched). JSON output
gains a top-level ``latest_summary`` field.
* Dashboard ``/board`` and ``/tasks/{id}`` now include a
``latest_summary`` field on every task. Cards on /board carry a
200-character preview (cheap to render, plenty for "what did this
worker do?" at a glance); the drawer/detail endpoint returns the
full summary.
* Five new tests cover: empty-runs case, post-complete surface,
newest-of-multiple selection, empty-string skip, batch with
missing tasks + empty input.
Smoke-tested locally against the live profile DB on the three
acceptance-criterion targets (t_f08fef91 cron-hygiene-audit,
t_007b7f1c EMA-analysis, t_05746fa4 self-assessment) — all three now
return their populated summaries via both ``latest_summary`` and
``latest_summaries``.
Test plan: 255/255 kanban tests pass + 91/91 dashboard plugin tests
pass. No regression on tasks where ``tasks.result`` is explicitly
populated (the existing "Result:" branch is preserved).

After #19473 landed (enforce_max_runtime reads from task_runs.started_at
rather than tasks.started_at), a regression test added earlier still
only backdated the tasks column. Backdate both so the test is robust
regardless of which column the enforcer reads from.
Widens _verify_created_cards to also accept ids that are children of the
completing task in task_links. Previously we only accepted cards where
created_by matched the completing task's assignee, which was too strict
for legitimate orchestrator flows: a specifier creates a card (so
created_by=specifier, not worker), then a worker picks it up and passes
parents=[current_task] to kanban_create. The explicit link proves the
relationship and should be trusted.
Salvaged from #20022 @LeonSGP43 (full PR superseded by #20232 +
this patch; the linked-children relaxation was the portable
improvement).
