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.

* 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
Post-merge follow-ups + several review rounds + a hub-search rework, folded together.
Merge-scuff restores (a stale-base refactor had reverted two live-on-main fixes):
- gateway: SessionStore compression-tip healing + its regression test.
- desktop: messaging session/transcript polling in desktop-controller
(MESSAGING_POLL / ACTIVE_MESSAGING_SESSION_POLL, refreshMessagingSessions,
refreshActiveMessagingTranscript, the richer sameCronSignature) so inbound
platform traffic updates live again instead of freezing until manual refresh.
Profile-switch isolation (epoch/close/guard on every profile-scoped async):
- Hub store clears + in-flight runHubAction bails (and swallows the post-switch
404 instead of a phantom toast); hub preview/scan/search/sources profile-scoped.
- MCP: probe/auth epoch guards, dirty-draft reset, sidebar mutations blocked
until config resettles AND every persist re-checks the epoch post-await;
profilePending clears on config settle incl. error; logs re-key on profile.
- Model settings reload on switch and epoch-guard setModelAssignment /
saveMoaModels / API-key activation.
- Config draft resets + cancels its autosave on switch; skill editor/archive and
star-map node dialogs close on switch; openSkillEditor / star-map openEdit
discard stale fetches; tool-usage analytics loads are profile-guarded/keyed.
Correctness + UX:
- Unique per-skill action names for hub install AND uninstall; hub/catalog rows
flip only on a clean exit_code; catalog install polls the background bootstrap
to completion, reconciles the mcp.json draft (no dropped server), and fails
loudly on non-zero exit; MCP catalog query keyed by profile.
- /test reports needs-auth for anonymous auth:oauth servers; /auth snapshots +
restores tokens on a failed re-auth and clears the full 300s callback window.
- config-settings shows a retry on load failure; CodeEditor/JsonDocumentEditor
go read-only while saving so edits typed mid-save aren't dropped.
- Deep-link highlighter deletes its param only after a successful scroll.
- Restored the PageSearchShell trailing slot → Artifacts refresh button/spinner.
- /settings?tab=mcp redirect keeps server=.
Progressive hub search: fan out one query per backend-searchable source
(index-covered API sources stay unsearchable → no ~70-call GitHub re-hammer),
merge/dedupe by trust as each lands, per-source spinner overlaid on the dimmed
chip — results stream in without blocking on the slowest, no layout shift.
test(web): /api/skills list carries usage + provenance (CI contract).
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.
Fold the skill hub (search/preview/scan/install, from #57441) into Capabilities
as a fourth "Browse Hub" tab, rebuilt on our stack:
- sources + debounced term search + preview are useQuery-driven (RQ dedupes/
caches per term, cancels stale terms — no hand-rolled sequence guard).
- Each result is a self-contained HubSkillRow that installs/uninstalls ITSELF,
reading its own status from a nanostore (store/hub-actions). Concurrent
installs never desync; an optimistic installed-override flips a row the instant
its own action resolves instead of racing the sources refetch.
- Action log bubbles through a $hubActiveLog atom into the shared LogTail in a
collapsed-by-default, persistent bottom DetailPane (ANSI stripped).
A turn that ends without a final `todo` update left the composer "Tasks N/M"
panel pinned with its last item stuck pending/in_progress, and it survived
restarts because the panel is read back from stored session history.
Two coupled fixes (the first alone is undone by the second path):
- Turn end: clear a still-active todo list on `message.complete` and on a
terminal `error` (new `clearActiveSessionTodos` — active lists only; a
finished list keeps its short linger so the last checkmark still lands).
- Rehydration: `hydrateFromStoredSession` runs *after* a turn completes, so an
"active" stored list is stale, not in-flight. It now restores only a
*finished* list (via new `todosForHydration`) and drops anything still
active — otherwise it re-pinned the panel right after the turn-end clear and
resurrected it on every restart.
Salvages #52996 (@0disoft): the fix shape (clearActiveSessionTodos on turn
completion, preserving the finished-list linger) is carried forward and ported
onto the current use-message-stream/ folder split (gateway-event.ts), then
extended to the rehydration path per review.

Broadens Tranquil-Flow's profile-startup timeout fix (#48518) from getProfiles
+ refreshActiveProfile to the rest of the calls the desktop fires during
connect: /api/config, /api/config/defaults, /api/model/info, /api/model/options,
/api/cron/jobs. On a profile-heavy or remote install any of these can exceed
the 15s DEFAULT_FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS while the backend is alive-but-busy (e.g.
list_profiles walks the skill tree per profile), surfacing as the spurious
"Timed out connecting to Hermes backend after 15000ms" that hangs the UI
(#48504).
Uses the surgical per-call mechanism (renamed STARTUP_PROFILE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS
→ STARTUP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS) rather than raising the global default (the
alternative in #48526): the liveness poll /api/status and all interactive/
runtime calls keep the short default, so a genuinely-dead backend is still
detected fast and the boot readiness probe (waitForHermes) is untouched.
Supersedes #48518 (carried as the base commit) and #48526 (global-default
raise). Fixes#48504.

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.
startUpdatePoller() only called checkBackendUpdates() — never checkUpdates().
The statusbar version pill reads $updateStatus (set by checkUpdates()), so the
commit-behind counter stayed null after restart. It only appeared when the user
manually clicked the pill, which triggered checkUpdates() via openUpdateOverlayFor.
Added void checkUpdates() in three places alongside the existing
checkBackendUpdates() calls:
- On startup in startUpdatePoller()
- In the 30-minute setInterval callback
- In the onFocus handler
checkUpdates() uses the Electron IPC bridge (local git check), not the gateway,
so no mode gating is needed. The existing $updateChecking atom guard prevents
double-fire on overlap.
Fixes#53079

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).
Opt-in $petRoam (localStorage), $petMotion (run/jump pose) and $petRoamDir (-1/0/1) feed the shared $petState only while the agent is at rest ($petAtRest), so a wander never overrides real activity.
The Electron desktop app and the web dashboard each carried their own
copy of the tui_gateway JSON-RPC WebSocket client plus near-identical
auth'd WS-URL construction. The dashboard's copy was the historical
source of the "is the dashboard required to run the desktop app?"
confusion, since the two surfaces looked coupled.
Consolidate the genuinely shared transport into the existing
framework-agnostic `@hermes/shared` package so both surfaces consume it
independently — neither app depends on the other:
- Move `resolveGatewayWsUrl` + `GatewayReauthRequiredError` (single-use
OAuth ticket re-mint vs long-lived token fallback) into
`@hermes/shared`; desktop now imports them directly.
- Add `buildHermesWebSocketUrl`, one base-path/scheme/auth-aware URL
builder, and route every dashboard WS endpoint through it
(`/api/ws`, `/api/events`, `/api/pty`, plugin WS URLs).
- Reduce the dashboard `GatewayClient` to a thin subclass of the shared
`JsonRpcGatewayClient`, deleting ~210 lines of duplicated pending-call
/event-dispatch/connect plumbing while keeping its dashboard-specific
ticket-vs-token auth selection.
- Drop the stale "start it with --tui" chat banner, which implied the
dashboard flag was required.
Behavior is preserved on both surfaces; the dashboard additionally
inherits the shared client's 15s connect timeout (previously
desktop-only), so a hung connect now fails fast instead of pinning the
composer in "connecting".
Route FS/git REST through the active profile, mount the remote folder picker
at app root, keep the project dialog open while picking, show a first-run
blank state, flip into grouped view on create, and constrain the picker scroll
area so Select stays reachable.
Let UI callers ask for folders/files without knowing remote-picker limits:
selectDesktopPaths now normalizes remote directory selection to a single folder
inside the facade. Project creation and composer context picking no longer branch
on remote mode; they route through desktop-fs helpers just like git callers route
through desktopGit(). Behavior unchanged except remote folder context now works
through the same backend picker path.
writeProjectIdea used the local-only Electron writeTextFile, so on a remote
gateway IDEA.md never landed on the backend (where the project folder lives).
Route it through writeDesktopFileText (local Electron / POST /api/fs/write-text).
After the folder picker fix, an added remote folder was still half-usable:
the desktop's git GUI (coding-rail status, worktree lanes, review pane,
branch switch, file diff) all ran Electron-local git on the USER's machine,
so against a remote-gateway repo they silently degraded to empty.
Mirror the whole surface over the dashboard REST API so it acts on the
BACKEND repo where sessions actually run:
- hermes_cli/web_git.py: git/gh logic (status, worktrees, branches, review
list/diff/stage/unstage/revert/commit/commit-context/push/ship-info/
create-pr, file-diff, worktree add/remove, branch switch) shelling to the
system git, mirroring the Electron ops' shapes.
- web_server.py: /api/git/* routes (same auth gate + _fs_path hardening as
/api/fs, executor-offloaded, mutations -> 400).
- apps/desktop desktop-git.ts: remote-aware facade exposing the same shape as
window.hermesDesktop.git; coding-status / review / projects / model /
desktop-fs route through desktopGit() so local stays Electron, remote hits
/api/git/*.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_web_server_git.py (real repo: status counts,
review classification, diff incl. untracked all-add, stage+commit roundtrip,
worktree/branch lifecycle, commit-context, gh-absent ship-info, auth) and
desktop-git.test.ts (local vs remote routing, envelope unwrap, POST bodies).
The new-project / add-folder dialog (PR #49037) picked folders via the
native Electron dialog (pickDefaultProjectDir), which only browses the
LOCAL machine. On a remote gateway that picks a path that doesn't exist
on the backend where sessions actually run.
Route pickProjectFolder() through selectDesktopPaths({directories,
multiple:false}) — the same remote-aware path the retired right-sidebar
picker used: local mode opens the native directory dialog, remote mode
browses the backend filesystem via the in-app RemoteFolderPicker. Seed
it with the backend's default cwd on remote so it opens somewhere useful.
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.
A clarify/approval/sudo/secret prompt blocks the turn on the user, but the UI
treated it as an in-flight turn: the "thinking" timer kept ticking and Esc
interrupted the run — discarding a question you might want to come back to. Add
$activeSessionAwaitingInput (the pet's awaitingInput concept, scoped to the
active session) and use it to suppress the stall indicator and disarm Esc while a
prompt waits. Clear the session's prompts (and needsInput) on Stop and on turn
end so a resolved/aborted turn can't leave a dead panel or a stuck "needs input"
dot.
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.
Hold Alt/Option and scroll over the mascot to resize it (same on Mac and
Windows); the modifier keeps a plain scroll passing through to the page. The
gesture drives the same `display.pet.scale` path as the settings slider.
The popped-out overlay grows its OS window to fit the pet at any scale (anchored
bottom-center) so the sprite is never clipped by the window edge, and the
in-window pet re-clamps against its actual size so growing near an edge can't
crop it. Also makes the overlay click-through per-pixel: only solid sprite
pixels (plus bubble / mail button) are interactive, transparent margins pass
clicks through.
Track top-level delegate_task work that dispatches in the background and
re-enters as a fresh turn. $backgroundResume returns {count, activity} for
the active session while idle — count of parked tasks plus the primary
child's latest stream line (tool/progress/thinking) when readable.
Extends the pane store with heightOverride (alongside widthOverride) and a
get/set/clear API, and wires the pane shell + desktop controller so the
bottom-row terminal pane can be resized on the Y axis with its size persisted.
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 quality-first default (OpenAI image via OpenRouter) is slow, and a full
hatch fans out ~8 rows with up to 3 retries each (300s/call) across 2 parallel
waves, so the absolute backend worst case is ~30 min. The old ceilings fired
mid-run:
- per-image HTTP call: 180s -> 300s (a single cold row can exceed 3 min)
- drafts RPC: 240s -> 420s (single wave, no retries — 7 min is ample)
- hatch RPC: 420s -> 1hr (sits above the ~30 min backend worst case)
The hatch ceiling is intentionally well above the realistic max so the frontend
never throws "request timed out" before the backend has exhausted its own
retries. The background-resumable notification path remains the real UX safety
net — the user can close the modal and get pinged on completion.
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.
