Switching connection mode (local / cloud agent / remote) no longer
full-window-reloads into the cold-boot CONNECTING screen. The primary
backend is torn down in place (no renderer reload); the shell + Settings
stay up while session lists are wiped so sidebar skeletons retrigger, then
the socket re-dials and config/sessions refresh. Cold-boot CONNECTING
latches off after the first successful boot; the intentional teardown
suppresses the backend-exit toast. Dev affordance: a "Preview soft switch"
button under Gateway diagnostics (Electron has no ?query= entry).
Gateway settings UI brought in line with the rest of Settings:
- Mode cards use the shared selectableCardClass on an equal-height
auto-rows-fr grid, stacking 1→3 (never an orphaned 2+1); titles wrap
instead of truncating.
- Remote gateway's auth detail moves into a ? tooltip in the title; drop
the redundant "connects to the one you choose" from the cloud card.
- textStrong buttons force px-0 so the underline sits flush with the label.
- Tooltip chip uses box-decoration-break: clone so the background hugs each
wrapped line (bg only on the text), capped at max-w-64.
Fully i18n'd (en + zh; ja/zh-hant inherit via defineLocale).
Per review: the empty-state "create an agent" link went to the generic portal
agents list; point it at the Hermes Cloud create-instance flow
({portal}/cloud?setup=instance) instead. Derive the host from the portalBaseUrl
that cloud.status() already echoes so it honors HERMES_PORTAL_BASE_URL rather
than hardcoding a second copy of the portal host. Link text/copy → "Hermes
Cloud" (en + zh).
Adds a third "Hermes Cloud" gateway mode to the desktop app: one portal
sign-in auto-discovers the agents on your account and connects to any of
them with no second interactive prompt.
- Electron: widen connection mode to 'local' | 'remote' | 'cloud', routed
through a centralized modeIsRemoteLike() so every resolution site treats
cloud exactly like remote; portal discovery (GET /api/agents over the
OAuth partition), Privy-cookie liveness, multi-org picker (NAS 409), and a
silent per-agent /oauth cascade (load protected root, not /login).
- Persist a cloudOrg on the cloud block; unselect cloud on mode switch.
- Renderer: Hermes Cloud ModeCard + agent picker (signed-out/loading/empty/
list), org picker, Change-org, connected-highlight + Connected pill.
- i18n (en + zh full; ja/zh-hant inherit via defineLocale), Cloud icon.
- IPC: hermes☁️{status,login,logout,discover,agent-sign-in}.
Salvage of #55402 onto current main: the original branch predates the
desktop electron .cjs -> .ts migration (39d09453f), so the electron half
was re-authored against the .ts files. Authorship preserved.
cloud-auto-discovery Phases 3 + 4.
* feat(install): warn pip/Homebrew installs are unsupported (CLI, TUI, desktop)
pip and Homebrew are now Unsupported install methods per
website/docs/getting-started/platform-support.md. Surface a
warn-don't-block deprecation notice everywhere the install method is
already shown, pointing at the platform-support docs and noting these
installs will not receive further updates. NixOS (Tier 2) is untouched.
- hermes_cli/config.py: shared is_unsupported_install_method() /
format_unsupported_install_warning() helpers so the wording and docs
link stay consistent across every surface.
- hermes_cli/banner.py: generalize the existing pip-only banner
warning to also cover Homebrew.
- hermes_cli/main.py: hermes update and hermes update --check print
the warning before proceeding (still update; warn, don't block).
- tui_gateway/server.py: session.info gains install_warning.
- ui-tui: SessionPanel renders install_warning alongside the existing
'N commits behind' notice.
- apps/desktop: SessionRuntimeInfo/GatewayEventPayload gain
install_warning; applyRuntimeInfo + the live session.info event fire
a snoozable warning toast via a new reportInstallMethodWarning(),
mirroring the existing backend-contract-skew toast pattern. i18n
strings added for en/zh/zh-hant/ja.
- Tests: updated pip banner assertions for the new wording, added a
Homebrew banner test, and two tui_gateway session_info tests
(install_warning present for pip, absent for git).
* fix(nix): make `hermes` in developement environment actually work
install modules as editable overlay with uv
* feat: print install method when running --version
* fix: correct detect install method when running from a subtree
The Capabilities/MCP/Hub/Skills UX has settled, so lift every
`// TODO(i18n): literal until the UX settles` hardcoded English string into
the typed i18n catalog and drop the comments.
- New keys under `common` (expand, tryHint), `settings.mcp` (capability
summary, status line, all-servers, auth flow, tool chip titles, log empty
label), and `skills` (provenance, sort/bulk labels, empty states, editor
actions). Full translations in en + zh; ja + zh-hant overrides added.
- Module-level pure fns that had no `t` in scope now take the mcp translations
(`capabilitySummary`/`statusLine`) or an `emptyLabel` prop (`McpLogs`); the
archive toast takes `t`.
- Shared `common.tryHint(term)` dedupes the "Try “…”" search hint across
skills/messaging/cron/artifacts.
No behavior or styling change — string lookups only. Zero TODO(i18n) remain.
Route the app off its hand-rolled helpers onto lib/{text,time,format,json-format}
and the new primitives, plus assorted small tidy-ups:
- compactNumber for counts/tokens; normalize/capitalize/asText at the many
filter/label sites; shared Intl date/time formatters; row-hover + framed
editor adoption; scrollbar-gutter + padding parity on list surfaces.
- Messaging/Artifacts/Cron search hints + narrow-viewport tab dropdown;
floating-pet adopts useOnProfileSwitch; number formatting in statusbar,
command-center, agents.
- Electron: native overlay width + backend spawn tidy.
- Settings > Keys: credential fields read as plain subtext (all-unset) until
the group is focused or expanded, then take full input chrome with no
horizontal/vertical shift; inline Remove (trash) + Save mirror SearchField's
trailing-clear pattern instead of a floating hint that overlapped the card;
Esc still cancels. Drops the now-dead or/escToCancel i18n keys.
- Shared TabDropdown/ResponsiveTabs (components/ui): PageSearchShell and the
Command Center log file/level filters reuse the one narrow-width collapse.
- OverlayNav: data-driven pane nav — persistent rail on wide, a single dropdown
riding the titlebar strip on narrow; Settings and Command Center adopt it, and
the mobile dropdown carries the same section icons as the rail. Fixes narrow
vertical centering, redundant mobile section titles, gateway-status wrap, and
Panel master/detail stacking.
- OverlayIconButton is now the titlebar ghost button, matching the close X at
every size. Settings sub-view nav opens section + sub-view in one navigate so
API-keys/accounts actually open on narrow.
- Settings > Model: cube icon (was the {} namespace glyph) and a DOM-shaped
skeleton in place of the centered spinner.
- Command palette / session switcher clear the macOS traffic lights on small
screens.
- Prettier/eslint sweep across the touched files.
Merge the old Skills + Toolsets tabs and pull MCP out of Settings into one
master-detail "Capabilities" hub (Skills / Tools / MCP / Browse Hub).
- Skills: usage-sorted from real per-skill activity, provenance badges
(learned / built-in / hub), edit + archive for learned skills, per-tab bulk
toggle; full-bleed empty states.
- Tools: usage-aware, container-queried rows (no early two-column collapse).
- Settings panels move onto the shared config-record query cache; the deleted
Settings MCP page redirects (/settings?tab=mcp → /skills?tab=mcp).
- Lazy, profile-scoped, TTL-cached usage analytics so the heavy 365-day scan
never blocks the Skills/MCP tabs. Full en/zh strings (ja/zh-hant inherit).
* feat(desktop): CLI/dashboard parity — skills hub browser, MCP test/toggle/catalog, maintenance ops, log filters
Brings desktop GUI to parity with hermes skills/mcp/doctor/backup/debug-share/
curator/memory CLI commands and the dashboard's System + Skills-hub pages:
- Skills page: new Browse Hub tab (search official/GitHub/community sources,
preview SKILL.md, security scan verdicts, install/update with live action log)
- MCP settings: connection test (tool listing), per-server enable/disable
toggle, and a Catalog tab installing Nous-approved MCP servers with env prompts
- Command Center: new Maintenance section (doctor, security audit, backup,
debug share links, curator status/pause/run, memory file status + reset)
- Command Center system logs: file (agent/errors/gateway/desktop), level, and
substring filters instead of a fixed agent.log tail
- hermes.ts API client + types for all the above; en/zh locale strings (ja and
zh-hant inherit via defineLocale)
* feat(desktop): backend model catalogs in toolset config — hermes tools parity
Completes the `hermes tools` parity gap: after picking an image/video
generation backend the CLI runs a model picker (e.g. FAL's multi-model
catalog with speed/strengths/price); the desktop toolset drawer now has the
same flow as a radio-card list.
- web_server: GET /api/tools/toolsets/{name}/models (catalog + current +
default for the active or named provider row) and PUT .../model
(validated write to image_gen.model / video_gen.model), reusing the CLI's
plugin catalog helpers so GUI and `hermes tools` stay in lockstep
- desktop: ModelCatalogPicker in ToolsetConfigPanel — per-model cards with
speed/strengths/price, in-use + default badges, disabled until the
backend is the active one; provider selection now mirrors is_active
locally so the catalog unlocks without a refetch
- tests: 3 backend endpoint tests (catalog shape invariants, persist +
validation), 2 component tests, 2 API-contract tests; en/zh strings
Replace the loopback/PKCE-callback server and manual-paste fallback with
the RFC 8628 device-code flow as the only xAI Grok OAuth login path. The
flow works in headless/SSH/container sessions with no 127.0.0.1 listener,
shrinking the local attack surface.
- Poll the token endpoint with server-provided interval, honoring
slow_down and expires_in; store tokens with auth_mode
oauth_device_code.
- Adaptive proactive refresh skew for short-lived device-code JWTs;
rotated tokens sync back to auth.json, the global root store, and the
credential pool (no refresh-token replay).
- Clear source suppression on successful re-login (CLI + dashboard) and
drop the duplicate dashboard pool entry so exactly one seeded
device_code entry exists.
- Use the shared device_code source name for consistency with the
nous/codex device-code providers.
- Desktop: remove the loopback OAuth flow states and dead type variants;
pkce providers' sign-in URL selection is unchanged.
- Docs (EN + zh-Hans) rewritten for device-code login; drop the deleted
--manual-paste flag from documented commands.
Probe the projects.* RPC surface, block create with a clear update hint,
and avoid the raw "unknown method" toast. Includes i18n for en, zh, ja,
and zh-hant.
FixesNousResearch/hermes-agent#54999
- Rework share/import into one Dialog (matches rename/create): a single code
field (copy to share, paste + Load to import) with a hover copy button, a
Reset link beside the upload icon when viewing an imported map, and plainer
copy.
- Core orb: scales with the world zoom (~1.25× the inner shell), backdrop wash
behind it; on focus/hover the scene composites above the orb so the active
tooltip + lit lines are never covered.
- fitViewport floors zoom at the reference (5-ring) extent, so big maps render
at a constant scale and pan instead of shrinking every node to fit.
- Light mode: flip inter-ring band shading to read as depth (not a mound),
fade the core ring in from t=0, drop the timeline star glow.
- Timeline: filled play glyph, crisper constellation, date moved into the legend.
A top-down Memory Graph panel: memories and skills on a radial time axis
(core = oldest, outer rings = newer) with a playable / scrubbable timeline
that builds the map up over time.
- Reveal lives off the React tree (a ref drives the canvas, a nanostore atom
drives the timeline + legend), so a play-through or scrub never re-renders
the panel; paint is coalesced to one rAF and playback is abortable, so even
frantic scrubbing stays responsive.
- Adaptive dated rings: one equal-width ring per POPULATED calendar bucket,
a "nice-tick" count scaled to the span. Constant (orthographic) core/band
scale — more data grows the disk outward (more rings), never thinner.
- A bucket's nodes fill the band inside their ring and ignite staggered by
real timestamp across it (no end-dump), with an EVE-style warp-in; the
camera steps out band-by-band as rings are reached.
- ASCII "computing" core, theme-aware palette with a distinct memory hue,
shared trackpad-gesture primitives.
- Shareable WoW-style "loadout" codes on a generic, reusable codec
(@/lib/loadout: bitstream + DEFLATE + version/checksum frame + base64url).
- Opens from the statusbar and command palette; i18n across all locales.
Deps: d3-force, fflate (drops unused react-force-graph-2d).
Subagent session pop-outs (`watch=1`) spectate a run driven elsewhere, so
editing/steering the transcript from there makes no sense. Gate the composer
and the user-bubble mutations on `isWatchWindow()`:
- hide the composer (folds into `showChatBar`)
- user prompts become a read-only button that toggles the 2-line clamp so long
prompts stay fully readable, instead of opening the edit composer
- drop the stop/restore actions and the checkpoint branch-picker
Keyed off the narrow `isWatchWindow()` (not `isSecondaryWindow()`), so the
new-session and cmd-click pop-outs are unaffected.
Let users click the status bar context indicator to see how tokens are
split across system prompt, tools, rules, skills, MCP, and conversation.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Remove the prompt-gap cleanup that sent Ctrl-L into the user's shell; it could
render as literal ^L and create the exact top-line gap it was meant to hide.
Keep first-prompt cleanup renderer-side only, and parse short ESC charset
sequences so the initial newline stripper does not disarm early.
Also add a Close all action to the terminal tab context menu.
Extract the agents/trace overlay chrome into overlays/panel.tsx and adopt it
across the Cron, Profiles, and Agents overlays so they share one layout
(centered card, header, master/detail list with built-in search, kebab row
actions, big "+" footer, empty state) instead of three ad-hoc split layouts.
Also in this pass:
- OverlayView insets equidistantly on every side (was top/left-only, which
left a large left gutter on narrow windows).
- Form-control chrome: input border/background/recessed-inset are now
per-mode theme-var knobs (--dt-input-border/-bg/-inset) — resting borders
blend in, strengthen on hover, and go solid on focus / while a Select is open.
- Thread-timeline popover reuses the shared dropdown surface (1:1 with the
kebab menus) and scrolls the hovered prompt into view.
Multiple persistent in-app terminals managed by a thin VS Code-style icon
rail docked on the terminal pane's outer edge. Each tab is its own live
xterm+PTY that survives tab switches, session switches, and hiding the pane
(VS Code parity: only an explicit close or `exit` kills a shell). Terminals
own their state independent of the session — the sole thing they inherit is
an initial cwd snapshotted at creation.
- Rail: icon-only tabs (name + live hotkey on hover), +/hide controls,
context menu. Sits at z-40 above the collapsed sidebars' hover-reveal
triggers and marks itself data-suppress-pane-reveal, so reaching for a tab
can't summon the file-browser/review panel.
- Lifecycle: PersistentTerminal latches mounted on first open so shells stay
alive while hidden; ensureTerminal re-creates one on reopen.
- Agent reader: id-keyed registry drives read_terminal off the active tab.
- Keybinds (Ctrl-family, OS-aware): toggle Ctrl+`, new Ctrl+Shift+`,
next/prev Ctrl+Shift+Down/Up, close Ctrl+Shift+W.
Local browser_navigate cold-starts the agent-browser daemon and Chromium;
60s was too short on slow Linux hosts and timeouts discarded stderr,
leaving users with a generic failure. Use a 120s floor on first open,
inject --no-sandbox in Docker, include captured daemon output plus install
hints when commands time out, and show "Failed to open" in the desktop
tool chip when navigation returns success=false.
Embeds reach out to third parties on render, so default to a placeholder that
mirrors the tool-approval UX: "Load <service>" (this embed) or "Always allow
<service>" (persisted). A desktop-local store ($embedMode ask|always|off +
per-service allowlist) gates the fetch with zero gateway round-trip; an
Appearance setting controls the global default. Local renderers (mermaid, svg,
alerts) are never gated. Addresses review feedback on outbound third-party
requests.
The inline clarify panel used its own card tokens, an animated ring, and
oversized spacing — out of step with every other tool row. Rebuild it on the
shared --ui-*/--conversation-* tokens: a compact panel, letter-key badges
(A/B/C…) that double as a/b/c… shortcuts, an inline content-sizing "Other" field
(CSS field-sizing — no view swap, no layout shift on focus), and a Continue
button so picking an option selects rather than auto-sends. Selection lives on
the letter badge alone (solid primary; outlined while Other is focused-but-empty).
Also settle the panel into the standard tool block once the turn stops running,
so a stopped turn no longer strands a live, unanswerable prompt.
Bring apps/desktop and ui-tui to a clean state for typecheck, eslint,
and prettier:
- Run prettier across both trees (printWidth/wrap drift; prettier is not
CI-enforced for these JS projects, so main had accumulated drift).
- Apply eslint --fix for padding-line-between-statements and perfectionist
import/export sorting.
- Manual fixes for non-auto-fixable rules:
- remove unused node:net import in electron/main.cjs (uses Electron net)
- replace inline `typeof import(...)` annotations with top-level
`import type * as EnvModule` in two ui-tui test files
- scoped eslint-disable no-control-regex on intentional sentinel/ANSI
regexes (mathUnicode.ts, text.ts)
- resolve react-hooks/exhaustive-deps per-case: correct swapped/missing
deps, collapse redundant session.* members, and justified disables on
settings mount-only data-load effects to preserve run-once behavior
No behavior changes; test pass/fail counts are unchanged from the main
baseline.
When idle with a top-level delegate_task still in flight, render a static,
shimmering system-note at the transcript tail instead of a spinner (which
reads as "stuck"). Reuses the shared steer / slash-status chrome (centered,
0.6875rem, muted, Codicon) so it sits in the thread like every other meta
line, and mirrors the primary child's latest stream line, falling back to
generic copy. i18n across en/ja/zh/zh-hant; markdown prose/heading rhythm
tuned so a re-entered turn breathes.
Adds a CodeMirror 6 spot editor to the right-rail file preview so users can
make quick edits in-app without leaving for an IDE. Entering edit mode is a
pure in-place swap of the read view — same fixed-height header, same gutter
geometry/typography (mirrors SourceView 1:1) so nothing shifts — toggled via
the Edit button, a bare `e` when the pane is hovered/focused, or the tab.
- Save path is transport-agnostic (writeDesktopFileText): local Electron IPC
or a new hardened POST /api/fs/write-text on the dashboard server (path
validation, parent-must-exist, regular-files-only, size cap, atomic
temp-file + os.replace), behind the existing auth middleware.
- Stale-on-disk guard re-reads before writing and offers overwrite vs
discard-and-reload instead of clobbering external/agent edits.
- VS Code-style modified dot on the tab; ⌘/Ctrl+S and ⌘/Ctrl+Enter save,
Esc cancels; GitHub highlight style matched to the read view's Shiki theme.
- Typing stays render-free (draft in a ref; dirty flips once at the boundary).
Add a hover/focus "Remix" action on each completed draft card in the
generation grid. It re-runs generation with the chosen draft fed back in
as the reference image, keeping the same prompt and staying on step 2 so
the user can explore variations without starting over.
Because regenerating is slow and replaces the current drafts, the first
remix shows a one-time confirmation; the acknowledgement is persisted so
subsequent remixes fire immediately.
The fixed "up to 5 minutes" wording undersells the slow quality-first path
(OpenAI image via OpenRouter), where a full hatch can run far longer. Use an
open-ended "several minutes" instead so the banner stays honest across the
fast and slow providers.
Make completed desktop tool rows read like useful activity labels instead of raw plumbing: terminal rows use a dispatch-style shell summarizer for agent wrappers, and read_file rows keep the action plus filename and requested line range.
The shell cleanup follows condensed-milk-pi's shape: split command compounds on real separators, strip pipe tails inside each segment, clean redirects/env prefixes, then classify setup/banner/status segments. Multi-command probes render as `first command + N commands`; the full command remains available in copy/detail.
Read rows now render as `Read package.json` or `Read main.ts L25-34`, using requested positive offset/limit and returned line numbers only as fallback for negative/unknown offsets.
OpenRouter/Nous image gen now runs a quality-first model chain by default:
attempt the highest-fidelity OpenAI image model first, then fall back to
Gemini 3 Pro Image when it's access-gated/unavailable/times out. An explicit
OPENROUTER_IMAGE_MODEL / config model override pins one model with no fallback.
Atlas validation rejects malformed model output instead of shipping it: adds a
per-state collapse guard (a single sliver/fragment row no longer passes because
other rows are healthy), on top of the existing postage-stamp + multi-pose
checks.
Desktop: pet-gen native notifications are now "global" (not tied to a chat
session), so a background generation started from the command center fires an
OS notification when the user is away even with no active session. Adds a
neutral "This can take up to 5 minutes." banner on step 1, and lets the
provider picker auto-size.
Tests updated/added for the OpenRouter fallback chain, the collapse guard, and
the global notification path.
Ship the final pet-generation UX polish (provider picker behavior, step-2 cancel flow, banner integration, and visual consistency) and make saturated-chroma background removal C-op driven so hatch processing no longer hammers the machine during long runs.
When a remote gateway dropped after a healthy boot (internet loss,
sleep/wake, VPS restart), use-gateway-boot retried with backoff forever
and never surfaced an error. The renderer sat behind the fullscreen
CONNECTING overlay with gatewayState non-open and boot.error null — no
way to reach Settings, sign in again, or switch to a local gateway. To
the user the app was simply broken on connection loss.
Raise a recoverable boot error once the reconnect loop crosses
RECONNECT_ESCALATE_AFTER (6 attempts, ≈45s), so the BootFailureOverlay
(Retry / Sign in / Use local gateway) replaces the dead-end CONNECTING
screen. The loop keeps retrying underneath; the next successful reconnect
(or a manual/wake-driven one) clears the error and dismisses the overlay.
This implements the contract already specified — but never wired up — in
use-gateway-boot.test.tsx (desktop vitest isn't in CI, so the failing
"FIX:" specs went unnoticed). All 4 hook tests + the 3 connecting-overlay
tests pass.
Three voice-mode papercuts in the desktop app:
1. Ctrl+B did nothing. The docs + `voice.record_key` advertise Ctrl+B to
talk, but the desktop never bound it (only ⌘B = sidebar existed). Add a
rebindable `composer.voice` action that toggles the voice conversation,
defaulting to ⌃B on macOS (distinct from ⌘B; off-macOS `ctrl` folds to
the sidebar chord, so it ships unbound there to avoid stealing it). The
global keybind reaches the composer through a new focus-bus event.
2. The Voice settings page rendered every provider's options at once (~30
fields). Filter to the *selected* TTS/STT provider's sub-fields; STT
provider fields hide when STT is off. Picking "edge" now shows just the
Edge voice, making it obvious voice chat also needs STT enabled.
3. Voice mode could hang "speaking" forever. Free Edge TTS sometimes returns
audio that never fires `playing`/`ended`/`error`, so the playback promise
never settled. Add a stall watchdog (rearmed on each progress tick, so
long speech is never cut off) that rejects a stuck stream, letting the
loop recover with a clear error.
