Second, deeper pass over tools/gateway/hermes_cli plus first pass over
the trees wave 1 missed (acp, acp_adapter, skills, computer_use, docker,
dashboard, conformance, monitoring, secret_sources, hermes_state,
providers). Same rubric as wave 1 (AGENTS.md test policy); security,
alternation/caching invariants, issue-number regressions, and E2E kept.
Real test-quality fixes found and rooted out along the way:
- tests/tools/test_command_guards.py made real auxiliary-LLM HTTPS calls
(DEFAULT_CONFIG smart-approval leaked in) — pinned approval
mode=manual via autouse fixture: 17.4s → 0.4s.
- test_model_switch_custom_providers.py / test_user_providers_model_switch.py
silently probed live provider catalogs (~2s/test) — stubbed
cached_provider_model_ids/provider_model_ids/fetch_api_models.
- test_telegram_noise_filter.py: 15-platform copy-paste matrix over
shared gateway.run logic → 3 representative platforms (55s → 3.9s).
- test_gateway_shutdown.py: stop()'s 5s interrupt-deadline loop spun on
MagicMock agents — interrupt.side_effect now clears _running_agents
(22s → 1.0s).
- test_gateway_inactivity_timeout.py poll-harness timings shrunk 3-5x
(24s → 1.1s); test_mcp_stability.py backoff/SIGTERM-grace sleeps
patched (15.4s → 2.5s); test_async_delegation.py negative-drain wait
5s → 0.5s.
- test_telegram_init_deadline.py: loop-block margin restored to 1.0s
with rationale comment — the watchdog-dump assertion needs the loop
blocked well past deadline+grace under parallel load (flaked once in
the 40-worker verification run at a 0.2s margin).
Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2,438 files, 21,718 tests passed, 0 failed, 293.9s wall.
Suite totals vs original baseline: 46,820 → 19,757 test functions
(−57.8%), wall 583.5s → 293.9s (−50%), subprocess CPU 13,564s → 11,623s.
Rebased onto current main and re-ported across the restructured
surfaces: model flows now thread confirm_provider/base_url/api_key
through hermes_cli/model_setup_flows.py, the Discord picker lives in
plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py, and the web dashboard picker
applies chat-mode switches via config.set so the expensive-model
confirmation can ride the response.

The setup provider->model sub-menu (and three sibling pickers) used
simple_term_menu.TerminalMenu, whose ESC and arrow-key handling was
unreliable across terminals — notably ESC failed to back out of the
model selection list on terminals that emit raw escape sequences (e.g.
Ghostty). The codebase already notes simple_term_menu 'conflicts with
/dev/tty' and causes 'ghost-duplication rendering', and a prior attempt
to migrate these (closed PR) confirmed the same root cause.
Route all four single-select pickers through the shared, already-hardened
curses_radiolist (which decodes raw CSI/SS3 escape sequences and handles
ESC consistently, fixed in #35776):
- auth.py _prompt_model_selection — model picker; the pricing column
header and the unavailable-models block are passed as the radiolist
description so they survive the curses screen clear. ESC now cancels.
- main.py _prompt_reasoning_effort_selection — reasoning-effort picker.
- main.py _model_flow_named_custom — named custom-provider model picker.
- main.py _remove_custom_provider — provider-removal picker.
simple_term_menu is no longer imported anywhere (only stale comments
referenced it; one in setup.py is corrected). The numbered-input
fallbacks are unchanged and still trigger on curses errors / non-TTY.
Tests: updated test_terminal_menu_fallbacks / test_reasoning_effort_menu
/ test_custom_provider_model_switch / test_model_provider_persistence to
drive the fallback via curses_radiolist errors instead of breaking
simple_term_menu. New test_setup_menu_curses_migration.py asserts each
picker routes through curses_radiolist, ESC cancels, and the pricing
header is preserved. Net -147/+183 (mostly the new test file; production
code shrinks by removing TerminalMenu boilerplate).
