e84fe483bc feat(discord): channel history backfill for multi-user sessions
Adds optional channel-context backfill for Discord shared-channel sessions
so the agent can see recent messages it missed between its own turns
(typically when require_mention=true filters out most traffic).

Previously the agent only saw the @mention message that triggered it, which
led to disorienting replies in active multi-user channels where the
conversation context was invisible. With backfill enabled, a configurable
number of recent messages are fetched per-turn and prepended to the trigger
message as a context block, kept separate from sender-prefix logic so
attribution remains clean.

This re-opens the work from #13063 (approved by @OutThisLife on 2026-04-20,
closed when I closed the branch to address the simpolism:main head-branch
issue plus an ordering bug I caught later in live use). Filing against the
freshly-rewritten problem statement in #13054 so the design is grounded in
the failure mode rather than the implementation shape.

The implementation follows the **push-mode last-self-anchored** design from
the two options laid out in #13054. See the issue for the trade-off
discussion vs pull-mode (#13120 was an earlier closed PR using that shape).
Treating this as a reference implementation — happy to rewrite as
last-trigger anchoring or as a hybrid with #13120 if maintainers prefer.

Changes:

- gateway/platforms/discord.py:
  - new `_discord_history_backfill()` / `_discord_history_backfill_limit()`
    helpers (config.extra > env > default), mirroring the existing
    `_discord_require_mention()` shape
  - new `_fetch_channel_context()` that scans `channel.history()` backwards
    from the trigger to the bot's last message (or limit), formats as
    `[Recent channel messages] / [name] msg / ...`, respects DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS,
    skips system messages
  - per-channel `_last_self_message_id` cache to narrow the fetch window
    on hot paths (avoids full history scan when the bot has spoken recently)
  - **IMPORTANT**: passes `oldest_first=False` explicitly to `channel.history()`.
    discord.py 2.x silently flips the default to True when `after=` is supplied,
    which would select the EARLIEST N messages after our last response instead
    of the LATEST N before the trigger. In high-traffic windows this would
    return stale tool traces and drop the actual final answer the user is
    asking about. See regression test below. Caught in live use during a
    Codex tool-trace burst on May 13 2026.
- gateway/config.py: discord_history_backfill + discord_history_backfill_limit
  settings + yaml→env bridge
- gateway/platforms/base.py: channel_context field on MessageEvent
- gateway/run.py: prepend channel_context after sender-prefix so the
  [sender name] tag applies to the trigger message alone, not to the backfill
- hermes_cli/config.py: defaults for new discord.history_backfill and
  discord.history_backfill_limit keys
- cli-config.yaml.example: documented defaults
- tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 7 new tests covering
  cold-start backfill, self-message stop boundary, other-bot filtering,
  cache hot-path narrowing, stale-cache fallback, shared-channel +
  per-user backfill paths, and the ordering regression test
  (`test_fetch_channel_context_cache_uses_latest_window_when_after_set`)
- tests/gateway/test_config.py: yaml→env bridge tests
- tests/gateway/test_session.py: prefix-order edge cases
- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: env vars + config keys +
  usage docs

Tested on Ubuntu 24.04 — empirically validated in my own multi-bot Discord
research server for the past three weeks.

bc42e62b17 fix(gateway): prevent duplicate final send when only cosmetic edit failed
When the stream consumer's got_done handler successfully delivers the
final response content via _send_or_edit but the subsequent edit
(e.g. cursor removal) fails, final_response_sent remains False even
though the user has already received the final answer. The gateway's
fallback send path then re-delivers the same content, causing the
user to see the response twice on Telegram.

Introduce a new _final_content_delivered flag on the stream consumer,
set by the got_done handler when the final content has reached the
user. The _run_agent suppression logic now treats this flag as an
additional signal (alongside final_response_sent and
response_previewed) that final delivery is already complete.

This preserves the existing behavior for intermediate-text-only
streams (where already_sent=True but no final content has been
delivered) — those still receive the gateway's fallback send, matching
the test expectation in test_partial_stream_output_does_not_set_already_sent.

Adds TestFinalContentDeliveredSuppression with two cases covering
both the suppression (content delivered + edit failed) and the
non-suppression (intermediate text only) branches.

3adde245b7 fix(gateway): forward image attachments to background agent tasks
When the gateway spawned a background agent (e.g. for delegation), media
URLs and types from the originating message weren't forwarded — the bg
agent saw the prompt but no attached images. Vision-enabled tasks
effectively lost their inputs.

Forwards media_urls/media_types through the bg-task spawn path and
runs the same vision-enrichment step the main flow uses, so the bg
agent gets image descriptions inlined into its prompt.

Closes #25614.

Salvage of #25603 by @oxngon (manually re-applied — original branch
was severely stale against current main).

feat(goals): /subgoal — user-added criteria appended to active /goal (#25449)
* feat(goals): /subgoal — user-added criteria appended to active /goal

Layers a /subgoal command on top of the existing freeform Ralph judge
loop. The user can append extra criteria mid-loop; the judge factors
them into its done/continue verdict and the continuation prompt
surfaces them to the agent. No new tool, no agent self-judging — the
existing judge model just sees a richer prompt.

Forms:
  /subgoal                  show current subgoals
  /subgoal <text>           append a criterion
  /subgoal remove <n>       drop subgoal n (1-based)
  /subgoal clear            wipe all subgoals

How it integrates:

- GoalState gains `subgoals: List[str]` (default []), backwards-compat
  for existing state_meta rows.
- judge_goal accepts an optional subgoals kwarg; non-empty switches to
  JUDGE_USER_PROMPT_WITH_SUBGOALS_TEMPLATE which lists them as
  numbered criteria and asks 'is the goal AND every additional
  criterion satisfied?'
- next_continuation_prompt picks CONTINUATION_PROMPT_WITH_SUBGOALS_TEMPLATE
  when non-empty so the agent sees what to target.
- /subgoal is allowed mid-run on the gateway since it only touches the
  state the judge reads at turn boundary — no race with the running
  turn.
- Status line shows '... , N subgoals' when present.

Surface:
- hermes_cli/goals.py — field, prompt blocks, manager methods, judge weave
- hermes_cli/commands.py — /subgoal CommandDef
- cli.py — _handle_subgoal_command
- gateway/run.py — _handle_subgoal_command + mid-run dispatch
- tests/hermes_cli/test_goals.py — 15 new tests (backcompat, mutation,
  persistence, prompt template selection, judge-prompt content via mock,
  status-line rendering)

77 goal-related tests passing across goals + cli + gateway + tui.

* fix(goals): slash commands don't preempt the goal-continuation hook

Two findings from live-testing /subgoal:

1. Slash commands queued while the agent is running landed in
   _pending_input (same queue as real user messages). The goal hook's
   'is a real user message pending?' check returned True and silently
   skipped — but the slash command consumes its queue slot via
   process_command() which never re-fires the goal hook, so the loop
   stalls indefinitely. Now the hook peeks the queue and only defers
   when a non-slash payload is present.

2. The with-subgoals judge prompt was too soft — opus 4.7 said 'done,
   implying all requirements met' without verifying. Tightened to
   demand specific per-criterion evidence (file contents, output line,
   command result) and explicitly reject phrases like 'implying it was
   done.'

Live verified: /subgoal injected mid-loop now correctly forces the
judge to refuse done until the new criterion is met. Agent gets the
continuation prompt with subgoals listed, updates the script, judge
confirms done with specific evidence cited.

feat(codex-runtime): optional codex app-server runtime for OpenAI/Codex models (#24182)
* feat(codex-runtime): scaffold optional codex app-server runtime

Foundational commit for an opt-in alternate runtime that hands OpenAI/Codex
turns to a 'codex app-server' subprocess instead of Hermes' tool dispatch.
Default behavior is unchanged.

Lands in three pieces:

1. agent/transports/codex_app_server.py — JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdio speaker
   for codex's app-server protocol (codex-rs/app-server). Spawn, init
   handshake, request/response, notification queue, server-initiated
   request queue (for approval round-trips), interrupt-friendly blocking
   reads. Tested against real codex 0.130.0 binary end-to-end during
   development.

2. hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:
   - Adds 'codex_app_server' to _VALID_API_MODES.
   - Adds _maybe_apply_codex_app_server_runtime() helper, called at the
     end of _resolve_runtime_from_pool_entry(). Inert unless
     'model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server' is set in config.yaml AND
     provider in {openai, openai-codex}. Other providers cannot be
     rerouted (anthropic, openrouter, etc. preserved).

3. tests/agent/transports/test_codex_app_server_runtime.py — 24 tests
   covering api_mode registration, the rewriter helper (default-off,
   case-insensitive, opt-in, non-eligible providers preserved), version
   parser, missing-binary handling, error class. Does NOT require codex
   CLI installed.

This commit is wire-only: the api_mode is recognized but AIAgent does
not yet branch on it. Followup commits add the session adapter, event
projector, approval bridge, transcript projection (so memory/skill
review still works), plugin migration, and slash command.

Existing tests remain green:
- tests/cli/test_cli_provider_resolution.py (29 passed)
- tests/agent/test_credential_pool_routing.py (included above)

* feat(codex-runtime): add codex item projector for memory/skill review

The translator that lets Hermes' self-improvement loop keep working under the
Codex runtime: converts codex 'item/*' notifications into Hermes' standard
{role, content, tool_calls, tool_call_id} message shape that
agent/curator.py already knows how to read.

Item taxonomy (matches codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/item.rs):
  - userMessage          → {role: user, content}
  - agentMessage         → {role: assistant, content: text}
  - reasoning            → stashed in next assistant's 'reasoning' field
  - commandExecution     → assistant tool_call(name='exec_command') + tool result
  - fileChange           → assistant tool_call(name='apply_patch') + tool result
  - mcpToolCall          → assistant tool_call(name='mcp.<server>.<tool>') + tool result
  - dynamicToolCall      → assistant tool_call(name=<tool>) + tool result
  - plan/hookPrompt/etc  → opaque assistant note, no fabricated tool_calls

Invariants preserved:
  - Message role alternation never violated: each tool item produces at most
    one assistant + one tool message in that order, correlated by call_id.
  - Streaming deltas (item/<type>/outputDelta, item/agentMessage/delta)
    don't materialize messages — only item/completed does. Mirrors how
    Hermes already only writes the assistant message after streaming ends.
  - Tool call ids are deterministic (codex item id-based) so replays produce
    identical messages and prefix caches stay valid (AGENTS.md pitfall #16).
  - JSON args use sorted_keys for the same reason.

Real wire formats verified against codex 0.130.0 by capturing live
notifications from thread/shellCommand and including one as a fixture
(COMMAND_EXEC_COMPLETED).

23 new tests, all green:
  - Streaming deltas don't materialize (3 paths)
  - Turn/thread frame events are silent
  - commandExecution: 5 tests including non-zero exit annotation +
    deterministic id stability across replays
  - agentMessage + reasoning attachment + reasoning consumption
  - fileChange: summary without inlined content
  - mcpToolCall: namespaced naming + error surfacing
  - userMessage: text fragments only (drops images/etc)
  - opaque items: no fabricated tool_calls
  - Helpers: deterministic id stability + sorted JSON args
  - Role alternation invariant across all four tool-shaped item types

This commit is a pure addition. AIAgent integration (the wire that uses the
projector) is the next commit.

* feat(codex-runtime): add session adapter + approval bridge

The third self-contained module: CodexAppServerSession owns one Codex
thread per Hermes session, drives turn/start, consumes streaming
notifications via CodexEventProjector, handles server-initiated approval
requests, and translates cancellation into turn/interrupt.

The adapter has a single public per-turn method:

    result = session.run_turn(user_input='...', turn_timeout=600)
    # result.final_text          → assistant text for the caller
    # result.projected_messages  → list ready to splice into AIAgent.messages
    # result.tool_iterations     → tick count for _iters_since_skill nudge
    # result.interrupted         → True on Ctrl+C / deadline / interrupt
    # result.error               → error string when the turn cannot complete
    # result.turn_id, thread_id  → for sessions DB / resume

Behavior:

  - ensure_started() spawns codex, does the initialize handshake, and
    issues thread/start with cwd + permissions profile. Idempotent.
  - run_turn() blocks until turn/completed, drains server-initiated
    requests (approvals) before reading notifications so codex never
    deadlocks waiting for us, projects every item/completed via the
    projector, and increments tool_iterations for the skill nudge gate.
  - request_interrupt() is thread-safe (threading.Event); the next loop
    iteration issues turn/interrupt and unwinds.
  - turn_timeout deadlock guard issues turn/interrupt and records an
    error if the turn never completes.
  - close() escalates terminate → kill via the underlying client.

Approval bridge:

  Codex emits server-initiated requests for execCommandApproval and
  applyPatchApproval. The adapter translates Hermes' approval choice
  vocabulary onto codex's decision vocabulary:

    Hermes 'once'                → codex 'approved'
    Hermes 'session' or 'always' → codex 'approvedForSession'
    Hermes 'deny' / anything else → codex 'denied'

  Routing precedence:
    1. _ServerRequestRouting.auto_approve_* flags (cron / non-interactive)
    2. approval_callback wired by the CLI (defers to
       tools.approval.prompt_dangerous_approval())
    3. Fail-closed denial when neither is wired

  Unknown server-request methods are answered with JSON-RPC error -32601
  so codex doesn't hang waiting for us.

Permission profile mapping mirrors AGENTS.md:
    Hermes 'auto'              → codex 'workspace-write'
    Hermes 'approval-required' → codex 'read-only-with-approval'
    Hermes 'unrestricted/yolo' → codex 'full-access'

20 new tests, all green. Combined with prior commits this PR now has
67 tests across three modules:
  - test_codex_app_server_runtime.py: 24 (api_mode + transport surface)
  - test_codex_event_projector.py: 23 (item taxonomy projections)
  - test_codex_app_server_session.py: 20 (turn loop + approvals + interrupts)

Full tests/agent/transports/ directory: 249/249 pass — no regressions
to existing transport tests.

Still no wire into AIAgent.run_conversation(); that integration commit
is small and goes next.

* feat(codex-runtime): wire codex_app_server runtime into AIAgent

The integration commit. AIAgent.run_conversation() now early-returns to a
new helper _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode ==
'codex_app_server', bypassing the chat_completions tool loop entirely.

Three small surgical edits to run_agent.py (~105 LOC total):

1. Line ~1204 (constructor api_mode validation set):
   Add 'codex_app_server' so an explicit api_mode='codex_app_server'
   passed to AIAgent() isn't silently rewritten to 'chat_completions'.

2. Line ~12048 (run_conversation, just before the while loop):
   Early-return to _run_codex_app_server_turn() when self.api_mode is
   'codex_app_server'. Placed AFTER all standard pre-loop setup —
   logging context, session DB, surrogate sanitization, _user_turn_count
   and _turns_since_memory increments, _ext_prefetch_cache, memory
   manager on_turn_start — so behavior outside the model-call loop is
   identical between paths. Default Hermes flow is unchanged when the
   flag is off.

3. End-of-class (line ~15497):
   New method _run_codex_app_server_turn(). Lazy-instantiates one
   CodexAppServerSession per AIAgent (reused across turns), runs the
   turn, splices projected_messages into messages, increments
   _iters_since_skill by tool_iterations (since the chat_completions
   loop normally does that per iteration), fires
   _spawn_background_review on the same cadence as the default path.

Counter accounting:

  _turns_since_memory  ← already incremented at run_conversation:11817
                         (gated on memory store configured) — codex
                         helper does NOT touch it (would double-count).
  _user_turn_count     ← already incremented at run_conversation:11793
                         — codex helper does NOT touch it.
  _iters_since_skill   ← incremented in the chat_completions loop per
                         tool iteration. Codex helper increments by
                         turn.tool_iterations since the loop is bypassed.

User message:

  ALREADY appended to messages by run_conversation pre-loop (line 11823)
  before the early-return reaches us. Helper does NOT append again.
  Regression test test_user_message_not_duplicated guards this.

Approval callback wiring:

  Lazy-fetches tools.terminal_tool._get_approval_callback at session
  spawn time, passes to CodexAppServerSession. CLI threads with
  prompt_toolkit get interactive approvals; gateway/cron contexts get
  the codex-side fail-closed deny.

Error path:

  Codex session exceptions become a 'partial' result with completed=False
  and a final_response that explicitly tells the user how to switch back:
  'Codex app-server turn failed: ... Fall back to default runtime with
  /codex-runtime auto.' Same return-dict shape as the chat_completions
  path so all callers (gateway, CLI, batch_runner, ACP) work unchanged.

9 new integration tests in tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py:
  - api_mode='codex_app_server' is accepted on AIAgent construction
  - run_conversation returns the expected codex shape
    (final_response, codex_thread_id, codex_turn_id, completed, partial)
  - Projected messages are spliced into messages list
  - _iters_since_skill ticks per tool iteration
  - _user_turn_count delegated to standard flow (not double-counted)
  - User message appears exactly once (regression guard)
  - _spawn_background_review IS invoked (memory/skill review keeps working)
  - chat.completions.create is NEVER called (loop fully bypassed)
  - Session exception → partial result with /codex-runtime auto hint
  - Interrupted turn → partial result with error preserved

Adjacent test runs confirm no regressions:
  - tests/run_agent/test_memory_nudge_counter_hydration.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_background_review.py: green
  - tests/run_agent/test_fallback_model.py: green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249/249 green

Still missing for full feature: /codex-runtime slash command, plugin
migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on codex binary. Those
are the remaining followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): add /codex-runtime slash command (CLI + gateway)

User-facing toggle for the optional codex app-server runtime. Follows the
'Adding a Slash Command (All Platforms)' pattern from AGENTS.md exactly:
single CommandDef in the central registry → CLI handler → gateway handler
→ running-agent guard → all surfaces (autocomplete, /help, Telegram menu,
Slack subcommands) update automatically.

Surface:
    /codex-runtime                    — show current state + codex CLI status
    /codex-runtime auto               — Hermes default runtime
    /codex-runtime codex_app_server   — codex subprocess runtime
    /codex-runtime on / off           — synonyms

Files changed:

  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py (new):
    Pure-Python state machine shared by CLI and gateway. Parse args,
    read/write model.openai_runtime in the config dict, gate enabling
    behind a codex --version check (don't let users opt in to a runtime
    they have no binary for; print npm install hint instead).
    Returns a CodexRuntimeStatus dataclass that callers render however
    suits their surface.

  hermes_cli/commands.py:
    Single CommandDef entry, no aliases (codex-runtime is its own thing).

  cli.py:
    Dispatch in process_command() + _handle_codex_runtime() handler that
    delegates to the shared module and renders results via _cprint.

  gateway/run.py:
    Dispatch in _handle_message() + _handle_codex_runtime_command() that
    returns a string (gateway sends as message). On a successful change
    that requires a new session, _evict_cached_agent() forces the next
    inbound message to construct a fresh AIAgent with the new api_mode —
    avoids prompt-cache invalidation mid-session.

  gateway/run.py running-agent guard:
    /codex-runtime joins /model in the early-intercept block so a runtime
    flip mid-turn can't split a turn across two transports.

Tests:
  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 25 tests covering the
  state machine: arg parsing (10 cases incl. case-insensitive and
  synonyms), reading current runtime (5 cases incl. malformed configs),
  writing runtime (3 cases), apply() entry point covering read-only,
  no-op, codex-missing-blocked, codex-present-success, disable-no-binary-check,
  and persist-failure paths (8 cases). All green.

Adjacent test suites confirm no regressions:
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_commands.py + test_codex_runtime_switch.py:
    167/167 green
  - tests/agent/transports/: 283/283 green when combined with prior commits

Still missing: plugin migration helper, docs page, live e2e test gated on
codex binary. Followup commits.

* feat(codex-runtime): auto-migrate Hermes MCP servers to ~/.codex/config.toml

Translates the user's mcp_servers config from ~/.hermes/config.yaml into
the TOML format codex's MCP client expects. Wired into the
/codex-runtime codex_app_server enable path so users get their MCP tool
surface in the spawned subprocess automatically.

The migration runs on every enable. Failures are non-fatal — the runtime
change still proceeds and the user gets a warning so they can fix the
codex config manually.

What translates (mapping verified against codex-rs/core/src/config/edit.rs):
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.command/args/env  → codex stdio transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.url/headers       → codex streamable_http transport
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.timeout           → codex tool_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.connect_timeout   → codex startup_timeout_sec
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.cwd               → codex stdio cwd
  Hermes mcp_servers.<n>.enabled: false    → codex enabled = false

What does NOT translate (warned + skipped per server):
  Hermes-specific keys (sampling, etc.) — codex's MCP client has no
  equivalent. Listed in the per-server skipped[] field of the report.

What's NOT migrated (intentional):
  AGENTS.md — codex respects this file natively in its cwd. Hermes' own
  AGENTS.md (project-level) is already in the worktree, so codex picks
  it up without translation. No code needed.

Idempotency design:
  All managed content lives between a 'managed by hermes-agent' marker
  and the next non-mcp_servers section header. _strip_existing_managed_block
  removes the prior managed region cleanly, preserving any user-added
  codex config (model, providers.openai, sandbox profiles, etc.) above
  or below.

Files added:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — pure-Python migration
    helper. Public API: migrate(hermes_config, codex_home=None,
    dry_run=False) returns MigrationReport with .migrated/.errors/
    .skipped_keys_per_server. No external TOML dependency — minimal
    formatter handles strings/numbers/booleans/lists/inline-tables.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py — 39 tests
  covering:
    - per-server translation (12): stdio/http/sse, cwd, timeouts,
      enabled flag, command+url precedence, sampling drop, unknown keys
    - TOML formatter (8): types, escaping, inline tables, error case
    - existing-block stripping (4): no marker, alone, with user content
      above, with user content below
    - end-to-end migrate() (8): empty, dry-run, round-trip, idempotent
      re-run, preserves user config, error reporting, invalid input,
      summary formatting

Files changed:
  hermes_cli/codex_runtime_switch.py — apply() now calls migrate() in
    the codex_app_server enable branch. Migration failure logs a warning
    in the result message but does NOT fail the runtime change. Disable
    path (auto) explicitly skips migration.

  tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py — 3 new tests:
    test_enable_triggers_mcp_migration, test_disable_does_not_trigger_migration,
    test_migration_failure_does_not_block_enable.

All 325 feature tests green:
  - tests/agent/transports/: 249 (incl. 67 new)
  - tests/run_agent/test_codex_app_server_integration.py: 9
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_switch.py: 28 (3 new)
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: 39 (new)

* perf(codex-runtime): cache codex --version check within apply()

Single /codex-runtime invocation could spawn 'codex --version' up to 3
times (state report, enable gate, success message). Each spawn is ~50ms,
so the cumulative cost wasn't a crisis, but it was wasteful and turned a
trivial slash command into something noticeably laggy on slower systems.

Refactored to lazy-once via a closure over a nonlocal cache. First call
spawns; subsequent calls in the same apply() reuse the result.

Behavior unchanged — same return shape, same error handling, same install
hint when codex is missing. Just one subprocess per call instead of three.

Two regression-guard tests added:
  - test_binary_check_cached_within_apply: enable path → call_count == 1
  - test_binary_check_cached_on_read_only_call: state-report path → call_count == 1

Total tests for /codex-runtime now 30 (was 28); all 143 codex-runtime
tests still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct protocol field names found via live e2e test

Three real bugs caught only by running a turn end-to-end against codex
0.130.0 with a real ChatGPT subscription. Unit tests passed because they
asserted on our own (incorrect) wire shapes; the wire format from
codex-rs/app-server-protocol/src/protocol/v2/* is the source of truth and
my initial reading of the README was incomplete.

Bug 1: thread/start.permissions wire format

Was sending {"profileId": "workspace-write"}.
Real format per PermissionProfileSelectionParams enum (tagged union):
  {"type": "profile", "id": "workspace-write"}
AND requires the experimentalApi capability declared during initialize.
AND requires a matching [permissions] table in ~/.codex/config.toml or
codex fails the request with 'default_permissions requires a [permissions]
table'.

Fix: stop overriding permissions on thread/start. Codex picks its default
profile (read-only unless user configures otherwise), which matches what
codex CLI users expect — they configure their default permission profile
in ~/.codex/config.toml the standard way. Trying to be clever about
profile selection broke every turn we tested.

Live error before fix: 'Invalid request: missing field type' on every
turn/start, even though our turn/start payload was correct — the field
codex was complaining about was inside the permissions sub-object we
shouldn't have been sending.

Bug 2: server-request method names

Was matching 'execCommandApproval' and 'applyPatchApproval'.
Real names per common.rs ServerRequest enum:
  item/commandExecution/requestApproval
  item/fileChange/requestApproval
  item/permissions/requestApproval (new third method)

Fix: match the documented names. Added handler for
item/permissions/requestApproval that always declines — codex sometimes
asks to escalate permissions mid-turn and silent acceptance would surprise
users.

Live symptom before fix: agent.log showed
'Unknown codex server request: item/commandExecution/requestApproval'
and codex stalled because we replied with -32601 (unsupported method)
instead of an approval decision. The agent reported back 'The write
command was rejected' even though Hermes never showed the user an
approval prompt.

Bug 3: approval decision values

Was sending decision strings 'approved'/'approvedForSession'/'denied'.
Real values per CommandExecutionApprovalDecision enum (camelCase):
  accept, acceptForSession, decline, cancel
(also AcceptWithExecpolicyAmendment and ApplyNetworkPolicyAmendment
variants we don't currently use).

Fix: rename _approval_choice_to_codex_decision return values; update
auto_approve_* fallbacks; update fail-closed default from 'denied' to
'decline'. Test mapping table updated to match.

Live test verified after fixes:
  $ hermes (with model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server)
  > Run the shell command: echo hermes-codex-livetest > .../proof.txt
    then read it back

  Approval prompt fired with 'Codex requests exec in <cwd>'.
  User chose 'Allow once'. Codex executed the command, wrote the file,
  read it back. Final response: 'Read back from proof.txt:
  hermes-codex-livetest'. File contents on disk match.

agent.log confirms:
  codex app-server thread started: id=019e200e profile=workspace-write
                                    cwd=/tmp/hermes-codex-livetest/workspace

All 20 session tests still green after wire-format updates.

* fix(codex-runtime): correct apply_patch approval params + ship docs

Live e2e revealed FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the
changeset (just itemId, threadId, turnId, reason, grantRoot) — Codex's
'reason' field describes what the patch wants to do. Test config and
display logic updated to use it. The first 'apply_patch (0 change(s))'
display from the live test is now 'apply_patch: <reason>'.

Adds website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
covering enable/disable, prerequisites, approval UX, MCP migration
behavior, permission profile delegation to ~/.codex/config.toml, known
limitations, and the architecture diagram. Wired into the Automation
category in sidebars.ts.

Live e2e validation across the path matrix:
  ✓ thread/start handshake
  ✓ turn/start with text input
  ✓ commandExecution items + projection
  ✓ item/commandExecution/requestApproval → Hermes UI → response
  ✓ Approve once → command runs
  ✓ Deny → command rejected, codex falls back to read-only message
  ✓ Multi-turn (codex remembers prior turn's results)
  ✓ apply_patch via Codex's fileChange path
  ✓ item/fileChange/requestApproval → Hermes UI
  ✓ MCP server migration loads inside spawned codex (verified via
    'use the filesystem MCP tool' prompt)
  ✓ /codex-runtime auto → codex_app_server toggle cycle
  ✓ Disable doesn't trigger migration
  ✓ Enable with codex CLI present succeeds + migrates
  ✓ Hermes-side interrupt path (turn/interrupt request issued cleanly
    even if codex finishes before the interrupt lands)

Known live-validated limitations now documented in the docs page:
  - delegate_task subagents unavailable on this runtime
  - permission profile selection delegated to ~/.codex/config.toml
  - apply_patch approval prompt has no inline changeset (codex protocol
    doesn't expose it)

145/145 codex-runtime tests still green.

* feat(codex-runtime): native plugin migration + UX polish (quirks 2/4/5/10/11)

Major: migrate native Codex plugins (#7 in OpenClaw's PR list)

Discovers installed curated plugins via codex's plugin/list RPC and
writes [plugins."<name>@<marketplace>"] entries to ~/.codex/config.toml
so they're enabled in the spawned Codex sessions. This is the
'YouTube-video-worthy' bit Pash highlighted: when a user has
google-calendar, github, etc. installed in their Codex CLI, those
plugins activate automatically when they enable Hermes' codex runtime.

Implementation:
  - hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py: new _query_codex_plugins()
    helper spawns 'codex app-server' briefly and walks plugin/list. Returns
    (plugins, error) — failures are non-fatal so MCP migration still works.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args.
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, default_permission_profile=
    'workspace-write'. Explicit None on either disables that side.
  - _strip_existing_managed_block() now also strips [plugins.*] and
    [permissions]/[permissions.*] sections inside the managed block, so
    re-runs replace plugins cleanly without touching codex's own config.

Quirk fixes:

#2 Default permissions profile written on enable.
   Without this, Codex's read-only default kicks in and EVERY write
   triggers an approval prompt. Now writes [permissions] default =
   'workspace-write' so the runtime feels normal out of the box. Set
   default_permission_profile=None to opt out.

#4 apply_patch approval prompt now shows what's changing.
   Codex's FileChangeRequestApprovalParams doesn't carry the changeset.
   Session adapter now caches the fileChange item from item/started
   notifications and looks it up by itemId when codex requests approval.
   Prompt shows '1 add, 1 update: /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of
   'apply_patch (0 change(s))'.

   Side benefit: also drains pending notifications BEFORE handling a
   server request, so the projector and per-turn caches are up to date
   when the approval decision fires. Bounded to 8 notifications per
   loop iter to avoid starving codex's response.

#5/#10 Exec approval prompt never shows empty cwd.
   When codex omits cwd in CommandExecutionRequestApprovalParams, fall
   back to the session's cwd. If somehow neither is available, show
   '<unknown>' explicitly instead of an empty string.

   Also surfaces 'reason' from the approval params when codex provides
   it — gives users more context on why codex wants to run something.

#11 Banner indicates the codex_app_server runtime when active.
   New 'Runtime: codex app-server (terminal/file ops/MCP run inside
   codex)' line appears in the welcome banner only when the runtime is
   on. Default banner is unchanged.

Tests:
  - 7 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery (mocked), failure handling, dry-run skip, opt-out
    flag, idempotent re-runs, and permissions writing.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering the
    enriched approval prompts: cwd fallback, change summary on
    apply_patch, fallback when no item/started cache exists.
  - All 26 session tests + 46 migration tests green; 153 total in PR.

* feat(codex-runtime): hermes-tools MCP callback + native plugin migration

The big architectural addition: when codex_app_server runtime is on,
Hermes registers its own tool surface as an MCP server in
~/.codex/config.toml so the codex subprocess can call back into Hermes
for tools codex doesn't ship with — web_search, browser_*, vision,
image_generate, skills, TTS.

Also: 'migrate native codex plugins' (Pash's YouTube-video-worthy bit) —
when the user has plugins like Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Canva
installed via 'codex plugin', Hermes discovers them via plugin/list and
writes [plugins.<name>@openai-curated] entries so they activate
automatically.

New module: agent/transports/hermes_tools_mcp_server.py
  FastMCP stdio server exposing 17 Hermes tools. Each call dispatches
  through model_tools.handle_function_call() — same code path as the
  Hermes default runtime. Run with:
    python -m agent.transports.hermes_tools_mcp_server [--verbose]

  Exposed: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate / _click / _type /
    _press / _snapshot / _scroll / _back / _get_images / _console /
    _vision, vision_analyze, image_generate, skill_view, skills_list,
    text_to_speech.

  NOT exposed (deliberately):
    - terminal/shell/read_file/write_file/patch — codex has built-ins
    - delegate_task/memory/session_search/todo — _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS in
      model_tools.py:493, require running AIAgent context. Documented
      as a limitation and surfaced in the slash command output.

Migration changes (hermes_cli/codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py):
  - _query_codex_plugins() spawns 'codex app-server' briefly to walk
    plugin/list and pull installed openai-curated plugins. Failures are
    non-fatal — MCP migration still completes.
  - render_codex_toml_section() now takes plugins + permissions args
    AND wraps the managed block with a MIGRATION_END_MARKER comment so
    the stripper can reliably find both ends, even when the block
    contains top-level keys (default_permissions = ...).
  - migrate() defaults: discover_plugins=True, expose_hermes_tools=True,
    default_permission_profile=':workspace' (built-in codex profile name
    — must be prefixed with ':'). All three opt-out via explicit args.
  - _build_hermes_tools_mcp_entry() builds the codex stdio entry with
    HERMES_HOME and PYTHONPATH passthrough so a worktree-launched
    Hermes points the MCP subprocess at the same module layout.

Live-caught wire bugs fixed during this turn:
  1. Permission profile config key is top-level , NOT a [permissions] table. The [permissions] table is
     for *user-defined* profiles with structured fields. Built-in
     profile names start with ':' (':workspace', ':read-only',
     ':danger-no-sandbox'). Was emitting
     which codex rejected with 'invalid type: string "X", expected
     struct PermissionProfileToml'.
  2. Built-in profile is , NOT . Codex
     rejected  with 'unknown built-in profile'.
  3. Codex's MCP layer sends  for
     tool-call confirmation. We weren't handling it, so codex stalled
     and returned 'MCP tool call was rejected'. Now: auto-accept for
     our own hermes-tools server (user already opted in by enabling
     the runtime), decline for third-party servers.

Quirk fixes shipped (from the limitations list):
  #2 default permissions: workspace profile written on enable. No more
     approval prompt on every write.
  #4 apply_patch approval shows what's changing: cache fileChange
     items from item/started, look up by itemId when codex sends
     item/fileChange/requestApproval. Prompt: '1 add, 1 update:
     /tmp/new.py, /tmp/old.py' instead of '0 change(s)'.
  #5/#10 exec approval cwd never empty: fall back to session cwd, then
     '<unknown>'. Also surfaces 'reason' from codex when present.
  #11 banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line when active so
     users understand why tool counts may not match what's reachable.

Tests:
  - 5 new tests in test_codex_runtime_plugin_migration.py covering
    plugin discovery, expose_hermes_tools entry generation, idempotent
    re-runs, opt-out flag, permissions profile.
  - 3 new tests in test_codex_app_server_session.py covering enriched
    approval prompts (cwd fallback, fileChange summary).
  - 2 new tests for mcpServer/elicitation/request handling (accept
    hermes-tools, decline others).
  - New test file test_hermes_tools_mcp_server.py covering module
    surface, EXPOSED_TOOLS safety invariants (no shell/file_ops,
    no agent-loop tools), and main() error paths.
  - 166 codex-runtime tests total, all green.

Live e2e validated against codex 0.130.0 + ChatGPT subscription:
  ✓ /codex-runtime codex_app_server enables, migrates filesystem MCP,
    registers hermes-tools, writes default_permissions = ':workspace'
  ✓ Banner shows 'Runtime: codex app-server' line in subsequent sessions
  ✓ Shell command runs without approval prompt (workspace profile works)
  ✓ Multi-turn — codex remembers prior turn's results
  ✓ apply_patch path via fileChange request approval
  ✓ web_search via hermes-tools MCP callback returns real Firecrawl
    results: 'OpenAI Codex CLI – Getting Started' end-to-end in 13s
  ✓ Disable cycle clean

Docs updated: website/docs/user-guide/features/codex-app-server-runtime.md
  Full re-write covering native plugin migration, the hermes-tools
  callback architecture, the prerequisites change ('codex login is
  separate from hermes auth login codex'), the trade-off table now
  reflecting which Hermes tools work via callback, and the limitations
  list updated with what's actually unavailable on this runtime.

* feat(codex-runtime): pin user-config preservation invariant for quirk #6

Quirk #6 from the limitations list — user MCP servers / overrides /
codex-only sections in ~/.codex/config.toml that live OUTSIDE the
hermes-managed block must survive re-migration verbatim.

This already worked thanks to the MIGRATION_MARKER + MIGRATION_END_MARKER
pair I added when fixing the default_permissions wire format (so the
strip can find both ends of the managed region even with top-level
keys like default_permissions). But it was an emergent property
without a test pinning it.

Now explicitly tested:
  - User MCP server above the managed block survives migration
  - User MCP server below the managed block survives migration
  - Both above + below survive a second re-migration
  - User content (model, providers, sandbox, otel, etc.) outside our
    region is left untouched

Docs added a section "Editing ~/.codex/config.toml safely" explaining
the marker contract — so users know they can add their own MCP
servers, override permissions, configure codex-only options, etc.
without fear of Hermes overwriting their work.

167 codex-runtime tests, all green.

* docs(codex-runtime): clarify the actual tool surface — shell covers terminal/read/write/find

Previous docs and PR description undersold what codex's built-in
toolset actually provides. apply_patch alone made it sound like the
runtime could only edit files in patch format — implying you'd lose
terminal use, read_file, write_file, search/find. That was wrong.

Codex's 'shell' tool runs arbitrary shell commands inside the sandbox,
which covers everything you'd do in bash: cat/head/tail (read), echo>
or heredocs (write), find/rg/grep (search), ls/cd (navigate), build/
test/git/etc. apply_patch is for structured multi-file edits on top
of that. update_plan is its in-runtime todo. view_image loads images.
And codex has its own web_search built in (in addition to the
Firecrawl-backed one Hermes exposes via MCP callback).

Docs now have a 'What tools the model actually has' section right
after Why, breaking the surface into three clearly-labeled buckets:

  1. Codex's built-in toolset (always on) — shell, apply_patch,
     update_plan, view_image, web_search; covers everything terminal-
     adjacent.
  2. Native Codex plugins (auto-migrated from your codex plugin
     install) — Linear, GitHub, Gmail, Calendar, Outlook, Canva, etc.
  3. Hermes tool callback (MCP server in ~/.codex/config.toml) —
     web_search/web_extract via Firecrawl, browser_*, vision_analyze,
     image_generate, skill_view/skills_list, text_to_speech.

Plus a 'What's NOT available' callout listing the four agent-loop tools
(delegate_task, memory, session_search, todo) that need running
AIAgent context and can't reach the codex runtime.

Trade-offs table broken out: shell, apply_patch, update_plan,
view_image, sandbox each get their own row with a one-line description
so users can see at a glance what's available natively.

Architecture diagram updated to list the codex built-ins by name
instead of 'apply_patch + shell + sandbox'.

No code changes — purely docs clarification. 167 codex-runtime tests
still green.

* fix(codex-runtime): _spawn_background_review signature + review fork api_mode downgrade

Two real bugs in the self-improvement loop integration that the previous
test mocked away.

Bug 1: wrong call signature

The codex helper was calling self._spawn_background_review() with no
args after every turn. That function actually requires:
  messages_snapshot=list   (positional or keyword)
  review_memory=bool       (at least one trigger must be True)
  review_skills=bool

So the call would have raised TypeError at runtime — except the only
test that exercised this path mocked _spawn_background_review entirely
and just asserted spawn.called, so the wrong-arg shape never surfaced.

Bug 2: review fork inherits codex_app_server api_mode

The review fork is constructed with:
  api_mode = _parent_runtime.get('api_mode')

So when the parent is codex_app_server, the review fork ALSO runs as
codex_app_server. But the review fork's whole job is to call agent-loop
tools (memory, skill_manage) which require Hermes' own dispatch — they
short-circuit with 'must be handled by the agent loop' on the codex
runtime. So the review fork would have run, decided to save something,
called memory or skill_manage, and silently no-op'd.

Fixed in run_agent.py:_spawn_background_review() — when the parent
api_mode is 'codex_app_server', the review fork is downgraded to
'codex_responses' (same OAuth credentials, same openai-codex provider,
but talks to OpenAI's Responses API directly so Hermes owns the loop).

Also rewrote the codex helper's review wiring to match the
chat_completions path:
  - Computes _should_review_memory in the pre-loop block (was already
    being computed; now passed through to the helper as an arg).
  - Computes _should_review_skills AFTER the codex turn returns +
    counters tick (line ~15432 pattern in chat_completions).
  - Calls _spawn_background_review(messages_snapshot=, review_memory=,
    review_skills=) only when at least one trigger fires.
  - Adds the external memory provider sync (_sync_external_memory_for_turn)
    that the chat_completions path runs after every turn.

Tests:

  Replaced the broken test_background_review_invoked (which only
  asserted spawn.called) with three sharper tests:
    - test_background_review_NOT_invoked_below_threshold:
      single turn at default thresholds → no review fires (would have
      caught the original 'every turn calls spawn with no args' bug)
    - test_background_review_skill_trigger_fires_above_threshold:
      10 tool_iterations at threshold=10 → review fires with
      messages_snapshot=list, review_skills=True, counter resets
    - test_background_review_signature_never_breaks: regression guard
      asserting positional args are always empty and kwargs include
      messages_snapshot

  New TestReviewForkApiModeDowngrade class:
    - test_codex_app_server_parent_downgrades_review_fork: drives the
      real _spawn_background_review function (no mock at that level),
      asserts the review_agent gets api_mode='codex_responses' when
      the parent was codex_app_server.

Live-validated against real run_conversation:
  - Counter ticked from 0 to 5 after a 5-tool-iteration turn
  - _spawn_background_review fired exactly once with kwargs-only signature
  - review_skills=True, review_memory=False
  - messages_snapshot was 12 entries (5 assistant tool_calls + 5 tool
    results + 1 final assistant + initial system/user)
  - Counter reset to 0 after fire

170 codex-runtime tests, all green.

Docs: added a Self-improvement loop section to the codex runtime page
explaining both how the trigger logic stays equivalent and that the
review fork is auto-downgraded to codex_responses for the agent-loop
tools. Also clarified that apply_patch and update_plan ARE codex's
built-in tools (the previous version made it sound like they were
separate from 'codex's stuff' — they're not, all five tools listed
in 'What tools the model actually has' section 1 are codex built-ins).

* feat(codex-runtime): expose kanban tools through Hermes MCP callback

Kanban workers spawn as separate hermes chat -q subprocesses that read
the user's config.yaml. If model.openai_runtime: codex_app_server is set
globally (which is the whole point of opt-in), every dispatched worker
ALSO comes up on the codex runtime.

That mostly works — codex's built-in shell + apply_patch + update_plan
do the actual task work fine — but it had one critical break: the
worker handoff tools (kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment,
kanban_heartbeat) are Hermes-registered tools, not codex built-ins.
On the codex runtime, codex builds its own tool list and these never
reach the model, so the worker would do the work but not be able to
report back, hanging until the dispatcher's timeout escalates it as
zombie.

Fix: add all 9 kanban tools to the EXPOSED_TOOLS list in the Hermes
MCP callback. They dispatch statelessly through handle_function_call()
just like web_search and the others — they read HERMES_KANBAN_TASK
from env (set by the dispatcher), gate correctly (worker tools require
the env var, orchestrator tools require it unset), and write to
~/.hermes/kanban.db.

Why kanban tools work via stateless dispatch when delegate_task/memory/
session_search/todo don't: those four are listed in _AGENT_LOOP_TOOLS
(model_tools.py:493) and short-circuit in handle_function_call() with
'must be handled by the agent loop' — they need to mutate AIAgent's
mid-loop state. Kanban tools have no such requirement; they're pure
side-effect functions against the kanban.db plus state_meta.

Tools exposed:
  Worker handoff (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK):
    kanban_complete, kanban_block, kanban_comment, kanban_heartbeat
  Read-only board queries:
    kanban_show, kanban_list
  Orchestrator (require HERMES_KANBAN_TASK unset):
    kanban_create, kanban_unblock, kanban_link

Tests:
  - test_kanban_worker_tools_exposed: complete/block/comment/heartbeat
    in EXPOSED_TOOLS (regression guard for the would-hang-worker bug)
  - test_kanban_orchestrator_tools_exposed: create/show/list/unblock/link

Docs:
  - New 'Workflow features' section in the docs page covering /goal,
    kanban, and cron behavior on this runtime
  - /goal: works fully via run_conversation feedback; only caveat is
    approval-prompt noise on long writes-heavy goals (mitigated by
    the default :workspace permission profile)
  - Kanban: enumerated which tools are reachable via the callback and
    why the env var propagates correctly through the codex subprocess
    to the MCP server subprocess
  - Cron: documented as 'not specifically tested' — same rules as the
    CLI apply since cron runs through AIAgent.run_conversation
  - Trade-offs table gained rows for /goal, kanban worker, kanban
    orchestrator

172/172 codex-runtime tests green (+2 from kanban tests).

* docs(codex-runtime): wire /codex-runtime into slash-commands ref + flag aux token cost

Three docs gaps caught during a final audit:

1. /codex-runtime was only in the feature docs page, not in the
   slash-commands reference. Added rows to both the CLI section and
   the Messaging section so users discover it where they'd look for
   slash command syntax.

2. CODEX_HOME and HERMES_KANBAN_TASK weren't in environment-variables.md.
   CODEX_HOME lets users redirect Codex CLI's config dir (the migration
   honors it). HERMES_KANBAN_TASK is set by the kanban dispatcher and
   propagates to the codex subprocess + the hermes-tools MCP subprocess
   so kanban worker tools gate correctly — documented as 'don't set
   manually' since it's an internal handoff.

3. Aux client behavior on this runtime. When openai_runtime=
   codex_app_server is on with the openai-codex provider, every aux
   task (title generation, context compression, vision auto-detect,
   session search summarization, the background self-improvement review
   fork) flows through the user's ChatGPT subscription by default.

   This is true for the existing codex_responses path too, but it's
   more visible / important here because users explicitly opted in for
   subscription billing. Added a 'Auxiliary tasks and ChatGPT
   subscription token cost' section to the docs page with a YAML
   example showing how to override specific aux tasks to a cheaper
   model (typically google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter).

   Also documents how the self-improvement review fork gets
   auto-downgraded from codex_app_server to codex_responses by the
   fix earlier in this PR.

No code changes — pure docs. 172 codex-runtime tests still green.

* docs+test(codex-runtime): pin HOME passthrough, document multi-profile + CODEX_HOME

OpenClaw hit a real footgun in openclaw/openclaw#81562: when spawning
codex app-server they were synthesizing a per-agent HOME alongside
CODEX_HOME. That made every subprocess codex's shell tool launches
(gh, git, aws, npm, gcloud, ...) see a fake $HOME and miss the user's
real config files. They had to back it out in PR #81562 — keep
CODEX_HOME isolation, leave HOME alone.

Audit confirms Hermes' codex spawn doesn't have this problem. We do
os.environ.copy() and only overlay CODEX_HOME (when provided) and
RUST_LOG. HOME passes through unchanged. But it was an emergent
property without a test pinning it, so adding a regression guard:

  test_spawn_env_preserves_HOME — confirms parent HOME survives intact
                                  in the subprocess env
  test_spawn_env_sets_CODEX_HOME_when_provided — confirms codex_home
                                                  arg still isolates
                                                  codex state correctly

Docs additions:

  'HOME environment variable passthrough' section — calls out the
  contract explicitly: CODEX_HOME isolates codex's own state, HOME
  stays user-real so gh/git/aws/npm/etc. find their normal config.
  Cites openclaw#81562 as the cautionary tale.

  'Multi-profile / multi-tenant setups' section — addresses the
  related concern: profiles share ~/.codex/ by default. For users who
  want per-profile codex isolation (separate auth, separate plugins),
  documents the manual CODEX_HOME=<profile-scoped-dir> approach.

  Explains why we DON'T auto-scope CODEX_HOME per profile: doing so
  would silently invalidate existing codex login state for anyone
  upgrading to this PR with tokens already at ~/.codex/auth.json.
  Opt-in is safer than surprising users.

174 codex-runtime tests (+2 from HOME guards), all green.

* fix(codex-runtime): TOML control-char escapes + atomic config.toml write

Two footguns caught in a final audit pass before merge.

Bug 1: TOML control characters not escaped

The _format_toml_value() helper escaped backslashes and double quotes
but passed literal control characters (\n, \t, \r, \f, \b) through
unchanged. TOML basic strings don't allow literal control characters
— a path or env var containing a newline would produce invalid TOML
that codex refuses to load.

Realistic exposure: pathological cases like a HERMES_HOME with a
trailing newline (env var concatenation accident), or a PYTHONPATH
with a tab from a multi-line shell heredoc.

Fix: escape all five TOML basic-string control sequences (\b \t \n
\f \r) in addition to \\ and \" that we already did. Order
matters — backslash must come first or the other escapes get
re-escaped.

Bug 2: config.toml write wasn't atomic

If the python process crashed between target.mkdir() and the
write_text() finishing, a half-written config.toml could be left
behind. On NFS / Windows / some FUSE mounts this is a real concern;
on ext4/APFS small writes are usually atomic in practice but not
guaranteed.

Fix: write to a tempfile.mkstemp() temp file in the same directory,
then Path.replace() (atomic same-dir rename on POSIX, ReplaceFile on
Windows). On rename failure, clean up the temp file so repeated
failed migrations don't pile up .config.toml.* files.

Tests:
  - test_string_with_newline_escaped — \n in value → \n in output
  - test_string_with_tab_escaped — \t in value → \t in output
  - test_string_with_other_controls_escaped — \r, \f, \b
  - test_windows_path_escaped_correctly — backslash doubling
  - test_atomic_write_no_temp_leak_on_success — no .config.toml.*
    left over after a successful write
  - test_atomic_write_cleanup_on_rename_failure — temp file removed
    when Path.replace raises (simulated disk full)

180 codex-runtime tests, all green (+6 from this commit).

Footguns audited but NOT fixed (with rationale):

- Concurrent migrations race. Two Hermes processes hitting
  /codex-runtime codex_app_server within seconds of each other could
  cause one writer to lose entries. Low probability (you'd have to
  enable from two surfaces simultaneously) and low impact (just re-run
  migration). Adding fcntl/msvcrt locking is more code than it's
  worth here. The atomic rename above means each individual write is
  consistent — only the merge step is racy.

- Codex protocol version drift. We pin MIN_CODEX_VERSION=0.125 and
  check at runtime but don't reject too-new versions. Right call —
  the protocol has been stable through 0.125 → 0.130. If OpenAI
  breaks it later we'd see the error in test_codex_app_server_runtime
  on CI before users hit it.

feat(gateway): wire clarify tool with inline keyboard buttons on Telegram (#24199)
The clarify tool returned 'not available in this execution context' for
every gateway-mode agent because gateway/run.py never passed
clarify_callback into the AIAgent constructor. Schema actively encouraged
calling it; users never saw the question.

Changes:

- tools/clarify_gateway.py — new event-based primitive mirroring
  tools/approval.py: register/wait_for_response/resolve_gateway_clarify
  with per-session FIFO, threading.Event blocking with 1s heartbeat
  slices (so the inactivity watchdog keeps ticking), and
  clear_session for boundary cleanup.

- gateway/platforms/base.py — abstract send_clarify with a numbered-text
  fallback so every adapter (Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix,
  etc.) gets a working clarify out of the box. Plus an active-session
  bypass: when the agent is blocked on a text-awaiting clarify, the next
  non-command message routes inline to the runner's intercept instead
  of being queued + triggering an interrupt. Same shape as the /approve
  deadlock fix from PR #4926.

- gateway/platforms/telegram.py — concrete send_clarify renders one
  inline button per choice plus '✏️ Other (type answer)'. cl: callback
  handler resolves numeric choices immediately, flips to text-capture
  mode for Other, with the same authorization guards as exec/slash
  approvals.

- gateway/run.py — clarify_callback wired at the cached-agent per-turn
  callback assignment site (only the user-facing agent path; cron and
  hygiene-compress agents have no human attached). Bridges sync→async
  via run_coroutine_threadsafe, blocks with the configured timeout, and
  returns a '[user did not respond within Xm]' sentinel on timeout so
  the agent adapts rather than pinning the running-agent guard. Text-
  intercept added to _handle_message before slash-confirm intercept
  (skipping slash commands). clear_session called in the run's finally
  to cancel any orphan entries.

- hermes_cli/config.py — agent.clarify_timeout default 600s.

- website/docs/user-guide/messaging/telegram.md — Interactive Prompts
  section.

Tests:

- tests/tools/test_clarify_gateway.py (14 tests) — full primitive
  coverage: button resolve, open-ended auto-await, Other flip, timeout
  None, unknown-id idempotency, clear_session cancellation, FIFO
  ordering, register/unregister notify, config default.

- tests/gateway/test_telegram_clarify_buttons.py (12 tests) — render
  paths (multi-choice/open-ended/long-label/HTML-escape/not-connected),
  callback dispatch (numeric resolve/Other flip/already-resolved/
  unauthorized/invalid-token), and base-adapter text fallback.

Out of scope: bot-to-bot, guest mode, checklists, poll media, live
photos. Closes #24191.

feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback (#24220)
* feat(security): supply-chain advisory checker + lazy-install framework + tiered install fallback

Three coordinated mitigations for the Mini Shai-Hulud worm hitting
mistralai 2.4.6 on PyPI (2026-05-12) and for the next single-package
compromise that follows.

# What this PR makes true

1. Users with the poisoned mistralai 2.4.6 in their venv get a loud
   detection banner with copy-pasteable remediation steps the moment
   they run hermes (and on every gateway startup).
2. One quarantined / yanked PyPI package can no longer silently demote
   a fresh install to 'core only' — the installer keeps every other
   extra and tells the user which tier landed.
3. Future opt-in backends (Mistral, ElevenLabs, Honcho, etc.) can
   lazy-install on first use under a strict allowlist, instead of
   eagerly pulling everything at install time.

# Detection: hermes_cli/security_advisories.py

- ADVISORIES catalog (one entry currently: shai-hulud-2026-05 for
  mistralai==2.4.6). Adding the next one is a single dataclass.
- detect_compromised() uses importlib.metadata.version() — no pip
  dependency, works in uv venvs that lack pip.
- Banner cache (~/.hermes/cache/advisory_banner_seen) rate-limits
  the startup banner to once per 24h per advisory.
- Acks persisted to security.acked_advisories in config.yaml; never
  re-banner after ack.
- Wired into:
  * hermes doctor — runs first, prints full remediation block
  * hermes doctor --ack <id> — dismisses an advisory
  * cli.py interactive run() and single-query branches — short
    stderr banner pointing at hermes doctor
  * gateway/run.py startup — operator-visible warning in gateway.log

# Lazy-install framework: tools/lazy_deps.py

- LAZY_DEPS allowlist maps namespaced feature keys (tts.elevenlabs,
  memory.honcho, provider.bedrock, etc.) to pip specs.
- ensure(feature) installs missing deps in the active venv via the
  uv → pip → ensurepip ladder (matches tools_config._pip_install).
- Strict spec safety regex rejects URLs, file paths, shell metas,
  pip flag injection, control chars — only PyPI-by-name accepted.
- Gated on security.allow_lazy_installs (default true) plus the
  HERMES_DISABLE_LAZY_INSTALLS env var for restricted/audited envs.
- Migrated three backends as proof of pattern:
  * tools/tts_tool.py — _import_elevenlabs() calls ensure first
  * plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — get_honcho_client lazy-installs
  * tts.mistral / stt.mistral entries pre-registered for when PyPI
    restores mistralai

# Installer fallback tiers

scripts/install.sh, scripts/install.ps1, setup-hermes.sh:

- Centralised _BROKEN_EXTRAS list (currently: mistral). Edit one
  array when a transitive breaks; users keep every other extra.
- New 'all minus known-broken' tier between [all] and the existing
  PyPI-only-extras tier. Only kicks in when [all] fails resolve.
- All three tiers explicit: every fallback announces which tier
  landed and prints a re-run hint when not on Tier 1.
- install.ps1 and install.sh both regenerate their tier specs from
  the same _BROKEN_EXTRAS array so updates stay in sync.

Side effect: install.ps1 Tier 2 spec previously hardcoded 'mistral'
in its extra list — bug fixed by the refactor (mistral is filtered
out).

# Config

hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG.security gains:
- acked_advisories: []  (advisory IDs the user has dismissed)
- allow_lazy_installs: True  (security gate for ensure())

No config version bump needed — both keys nest under existing
security: block, and load_config's deep-merge picks up DEFAULT_CONFIG
defaults for users with older configs.

# Tests

tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py — 23 tests covering:
- detect_compromised matches/non-matches, wildcard frozenset
- ack persistence, idempotence, blank rejection, config-failure path
- banner cache rate limiting + 24h re-banner + ack-stops-banner
- short_banner_lines / full_remediation_text / render_doctor_section /
  gateway_log_message
- shipped catalog well-formedness invariant

tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py — 40 tests covering:
- spec safety: 11 safe parametrized + 18 unsafe parametrized
- allowlist: unknown-feature rejection, namespace.name shape,
  every shipped spec passes the safety regex
- security gating: config flag, env var, default, fail-open
- ensure() happy/sad paths: already-satisfied, install success,
  pip stderr surfaced on failure, install-succeeds-but-still-missing
- is_available, feature_install_command

Combined: 63 new tests, all passing under scripts/run_tests.sh.

# Validation

- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py → 63/63 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/test_doctor.py

  tests/tools/test_tts_mistral.py tests/tools/test_transcription_tools.py
  tests/tools/test_transcription_dotenv_fallback.py → 165/165 passing
- scripts/run_tests.sh tests/hermes_cli/ tests/tools/ →
  9191 passed, 8 pre-existing failures (verified on origin/main
  before this change)
- bash -n on install.sh and setup-hermes.sh → OK
- py_compile on all modified .py files → OK
- End-to-end smoke test of detect_compromised + render_doctor_section
  + gateway_log_message with mocked installed version → produces
  copy-pasteable remediation output

<https://socket.dev/blog/mini-shai-hulud-worm-pypi>

* build(deps): pin every direct dep to ==X.Y.Z (no ranges)

Companion to the supply-chain advisory work: replace every >=/</~= range
in pyproject.toml's [project.dependencies] and [project.optional-dependencies]
with an exact ==X.Y.Z pin sourced from uv.lock.

Why: ranges allow PyPI to ship a fresh version of any direct dep at any
time without a code review on our side. With ranges, the malicious
mistralai 2.4.6 release would have been pulled by every fresh
'pip install -e .[all]' for the hours between upload and PyPI's
quarantine — exactly the install window we got hit on. Exact pins close
that window: the only way a new package version reaches a user is via
an intentional update on our end.

What the user-facing change is: nothing, behavior-wise. Every package
resolves to the same version it was already resolving to via uv.lock —
the pins just remove the resolver's freedom to pick a different one.

Cost: any user installing Hermes alongside another package that requires
a newer pin gets a resolver conflict. Acceptable for our isolated-venv
install path; documented in the new comment block.

Build-system requires line (setuptools>=61.0) is intentionally left
as a range — pinning the build backend would block fresh pip from
bootstrapping the build on architectures where that exact wheel isn't
available.

mistral extra (mistralai==2.3.0) is pinned but stays out of [all]
(per PR #24205). 'uv lock' regeneration will fail until PyPI restores
mistralai; lockfile regeneration is gated behind that, NOT on every PR.

LAZY_DEPS in tools/lazy_deps.py also moved to exact pins so the lazy-
install pathway can never resolve a different version than the one
declared in pyproject.toml.

Validation:

- Cross-checked all 77 pinned direct deps in pyproject.toml against
  uv.lock — every pin matches the resolved version exactly.
- Cross-checked all LAZY_DEPS specs against uv.lock — same.
- 'uv pip install -e .[all] --dry-run' resolves 205 packages cleanly.
- tests/tools/test_lazy_deps.py + tests/hermes_cli/test_security_advisories.py
  → 63/63 passing (every shipped spec passes the safety regex).
- Doctor + TTS + transcription targeted suite → 146/146 passing.

* build(deps): hash-verify transitives via uv.lock; remove unresolvable [mistral] extra

You asked: 'what about the dependencies the dependencies rely on?' —
correctly noting that exact-pinning direct deps in pyproject.toml does
NOT cover the transitive graph. `pip install` and `uv pip install` both
re-resolve transitives fresh from PyPI at install time, so a compromised
transitive (e.g. `httpcore` if it got worm-poisoned tomorrow) would
still hit our users even with every direct dep exact-pinned.

# What this commit fixes

1. **Both real installer scripts now prefer `uv sync --locked` as Tier 0.**
   uv.lock records SHA256 hashes for every transitive — a compromised
   package with a different hash gets REJECTED. Falls through to the
   existing `uv pip install` cascade if the lockfile is missing or
   stale, with a loud warning that the fallback path does NOT
   hash-verify transitives. Previously only `setup-hermes.sh` (the dev
   path) used the lockfile; `scripts/install.sh` and `scripts/install.ps1`
   (the paths fresh users actually run) skipped it.

2. **Removed the `[mistral]` extra entirely.** The `mistralai` PyPI
   project is fully quarantined right now — every version returns 404,
   so any pin we wrote was unresolvable, which broke `uv lock --check`
   in CI. Restoration is documented in pyproject.toml as a 5-step
   checklist (verify, re-add extra, re-enable in 4 modules, regenerate
   lock, optionally re-add to [all]).

3. **Regenerated uv.lock.** 262 packages, mistralai/eval-type-backport/
   jsonpath-python pruned. `uv lock --check` now passes.

# Defense-in-depth view

| Layer                      | Where             | Protects against                          |
|----------------------------|-------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Exact pins in pyproject    | direct deps       | new mistralai 2.4.6-style direct compromise |
| uv.lock + `--locked` install | transitive graph  | transitive worm injection                  |
| Tier-0 hash-verified path  | install.sh / .ps1 | actually USE the lockfile in fresh installs |
| `uv lock --check` CI gate  | every PR          | drift between pyproject and lockfile      |
| `hermes_cli/security_advisories.py` | runtime  | cleanup for users who already got hit      |

The exact pinning + hash verification together close the supply-chain
gap. Without the lockfile path, exact pins alone are theater.

# Validation

- `uv lock --check` → passes (262 packages resolved, no drift).
- `bash -n` on install.sh + setup-hermes.sh → OK.
- 209/209 tests passing across new + adjacent test files
  (test_lazy_deps.py, test_security_advisories.py, test_doctor.py,
  test_tts_mistral.py, test_transcription_tools.py).
- TOML parse OK.

* chore: remove community announcement drafts (PR body covers it)

* build(deps): lazy-install every opt-in backend (anthropic, search, terminal, platforms, dashboard)

Extends the lazy-install framework to cover everything that's not used by
every hermes session. Base install drops from ~60 packages to 45.

Moved out of core dependencies = []:
- anthropic   (only when provider=anthropic native, not via aggregators)
- exa-py, firecrawl-py, parallel-web (search backends; only when picked)
- fal-client  (image gen; only when picked)
- edge-tts    (default TTS but still optional)

New extras in pyproject.toml: [anthropic] [exa] [firecrawl] [parallel-web]
[fal] [edge-tts]. All added to [all].

New LAZY_DEPS entries: provider.anthropic, search.{exa,firecrawl,parallel},
tts.edge, image.fal, memory.hindsight, platform.{telegram,discord,matrix},
terminal.{modal,daytona,vercel}, tool.dashboard.

Each import site now calls ensure() before importing the SDK. Where the
module had a top-level try/except (telegram, discord, fastapi), the
graceful-fallback pattern was extended to lazy-install on first
check_*_requirements() call and re-bind module globals.

Updated test_windows_native_support.py tzdata check from snapshot
(>=2023.3 literal) to invariant (any version + win32 marker).

Validation:
- Base install: 45 packages (was ~60); 6 newly-extracted packages absent
- uv lock --check: passes (262 packages, no drift)
- 209/209 lazy_deps + advisory + doctor + tts/transcription tests passing
- py_compile clean on all 12 modified modules

f6736ced81 fix(security): sanitize env and redact output in quick commands + remove write-only _pending_messages
1. Quick command exec ran in the gateway process's full environment
   without env sanitization or output redaction. A quick command like
   "env" or "printenv" would leak all API keys, OAuth tokens, and
   bot credentials to the messaging user.

   Fix: apply _sanitize_subprocess_env() before exec and
   redact_sensitive_text() on output before returning.

2. GatewayRunner._pending_messages was written on every interrupt
   (lines 1331-1334) but never read or consumed anywhere. The actual
   interrupt delivery uses adapter._pending_messages (a separate dict).
   Removed the write-only accumulation to prevent unbounded growth.

4ed293b38e feat(telegram): native draft streaming via sendMessageDraft (Bot API 9.5+)
Adds Telegram's native streaming-draft API as a streaming transport so DM
replies render with smooth animated previews as tokens arrive, dropping
the per-edit jitter of the legacy editMessageText polling path.

Adapter contract (gateway/platforms/base.py):
  - supports_draft_streaming(chat_type, metadata) -> bool. Default False.
    Telegram returns True only for DMs and only when the bound python-
    telegram-bot version exposes Bot.send_message_draft (PTB 22.6+).
  - send_draft(chat_id, draft_id, content, metadata) -> SendResult.
    Default raises NotImplementedError. Telegram delegates to PTB's
    send_message_draft. Drafts have no message_id (Bot API contract);
    SendResult.message_id is None on success.

Telegram adapter (gateway/platforms/telegram.py):
  - supports_draft_streaming gates on chat_type='dm' AND PTB capability.
  - send_draft trims to MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH using utf16_len, threads
    message_thread_id through metadata, and routes failures back as
    SendResult(success=False, error=...) so the consumer can fall back.

Stream consumer (gateway/stream_consumer.py):
  - StreamConsumerConfig gains transport ('auto'|'draft'|'edit'|'off')
    and chat_type fields.
  - run() resolves _use_draft_streaming once via a probe at the top of
    the run, allocating a fresh class-wide draft_id_counter so each
    response animates as its own preview (no animation collision across
    consecutive responses to the same chat).
  - _send_or_edit gains a pre-edit branch: when drafts are active AND
    not finalizing AND no edit-path message_id is established, the
    frame routes through _send_draft_frame instead of edit_message.
    Drafts intentionally do NOT set _already_sent so the gateway's
    final sendMessage path still fires — drafts have no message_id and
    the user needs a real message in their chat history.
  - _reset_segment_state bumps the draft_id when the consumer is in
    draft mode so each text block after a tool boundary animates as a
    fresh preview below the tool-progress bubble (avoids the inter-
    tool-call leak openclaw documented in their #32535).
  - Per-response fallback: any send_draft failure (transient network,
    server reject, capability gap) flips _use_draft_streaming to False
    for the rest of the run, gracefully returning to the edit path.

Gateway config (gateway/config.py):
  - StreamingConfig.transport default flips edit -> auto. The auto path
    is identical to edit on every chat type that doesn't currently
    support drafts (groups, supergroups, forum topics, every non-
    Telegram platform), so the default is backwards-compatible for
    non-DM users.

Lifecycle model (Telegram Bot API 9.5):
  1. sendMessageDraft(chat_id, draft_id, text='') opens the bubble.
  2. Repeated sendMessageDraft calls with the SAME draft_id animate
     the preview as text grows.
  3. Drafts have no message_id and cannot be edited or deleted.
  4. When the response finishes the gateway's normal sendMessage path
     delivers the final answer; the draft preview clears naturally on
     the client and the user sees a real message in their history.

Inspired by PR #3412 by @NivOO5. Re-authored against current main
(stream_consumer.py is now ~4x larger than at #3412's branch base, with
new _NEW_SEGMENT/_COMMENTARY/finalize/_on_new_message machinery the
original PR didn't account for) but the design call (DM-only, edit-
fallback, transport=auto|draft|edit|off) is faithful to the original
proposal, with two improvements baked in:

  1. Per-response draft_id (monotonic counter, not a time hash) — no
     collision risk across consecutive responses on the same chat.
  2. Tool-boundary draft_id bump — prevents the inter-tool-call leak
     openclaw hit during their rollout (their #32535).

Closes #21439 (duplicate feature request).

feat(goals): /goal checklist + /subgoal user controls (#23456)
* feat(goals): /goal checklist + /subgoal user controls

Two-phase judge for /goal — Phase A decomposes the goal into a detailed
checklist on first turn; Phase B evaluates each pending item harshly
against the agent's most recent response. The goal completes only when
every item is in a terminal status (completed or impossible). Adds
/subgoal so the user can append, complete, mark impossible, undo,
remove, or clear items the judge missed or got wrong.

Mechanics:
- GoalState gains `checklist` and `decomposed` fields, both backwards
  compatible (old state_meta rows load unchanged).
- Phase A: aux call writes a harsh, exhaustive checklist; biased toward
  more items not fewer. Falls through to legacy freeform judge when
  decompose fails.
- Phase B: judge gets the checklist + last-response snippet + path to
  a per-session conversation dump at <HERMES_HOME>/goals/<sid>.json.
  A bounded read_file tool (max 5 calls per turn, restricted to that
  one file) lets the judge inspect history when the snippet is
  ambiguous. Stickiness in code: terminal items are frozen, only the
  user can revert via /subgoal undo.
- Continuation prompt shows checklist progress when non-empty;
  reverts to old prompt when empty.
- Status line shows M/N done counts.

CLI + gateway + TUI gateway all pass the agent reference into
evaluate_after_turn so the dump can be written. Gateway-side
/subgoal is allowed mid-run since it only modifies the checklist
the judge consults at turn boundaries.

Tests: 24 new cases — backcompat round-trip, Phase A decompose,
Phase B updates + new_items + stickiness, user override flows,
conversation dump (incl. unsafe-sid sanitization), judge read_file
restriction. Existing freeform-mode tests updated to patch the
renamed `judge_goal_freeform` and skip Phase A explicitly.

* fix(goals): off-by-one in judge index, message-list plumbing, prompt tuning

Three live-test findings from running /goal end-to-end against
gemini-3-flash-preview as the judge:

1. Off-by-one bug — the judge sees the checklist rendered with 1-based
   indices ('1. [ ] foo, 2. [ ] bar') but the apply layer indexed
   state.checklist as 0-based. Result: every judge update landed on
   the wrong item, evidence got attached to neighbouring rows, and
   the genuine 'first pending' item (usually #1) never got marked.
   Fix: convert 1 → 0 in _parse_evaluate_response. Also tightened the
   user prompt to call out the 1-based scheme explicitly. New tests
   cover the parser conversion + an end-to-end fake-judge round-trip.

2. Conversation dump never happened — _extract_agent_messages tried
   common AIAgent attribute names (.messages, .conversation_history,
   etc.) but AIAgent doesn't expose the message list as an instance
   attribute; it lives inside run_conversation()'s scope. Result: the
   judge's read_file tool always saw history_path=unavailable. Fix:
   added an explicit messages= kwarg to evaluate_after_turn that all
   three call sites (CLI, gateway, TUI gateway) now pass directly.
   Agent-attribute extraction kept as back-compat fallback.

3. Prompt was too harsh on simple goals. The original 'be HARSH,
   default to leaving items pending' wording made the judge refuse
   to mark 'file exists' completed even after the agent ran ls,
   test -f, os.path.isfile, and find — burning the entire 8-turn
   budget on a fizzbuzz task. Softened to 'strict but not absurd'
   with explicit guidance on what counts as evidence and a directive
   not to require re-proving items already established earlier.

Re-tested live with the same fizzbuzz goal: now terminates in 2
turns with all 8 checklist items correctly attributed to their
own evidence. /subgoal user-action flow (add / complete / undo /
impossible) verified live as well.

2f00559d9e fix(telegram): pass source.thread_id explicitly on auto-reset notice (carve-out of #7404)
The auto-reset notice ("◐ Session automatically reset…") was being sent
with metadata=getattr(event, 'metadata', None), which can drop or
mis-route in Telegram forum topics: the event's metadata isn't
guaranteed to carry the originating thread_id, so the notice could leak
into General or another topic.

Use the existing self._thread_metadata_for_source(source) helper, which
already handles thread_id construction plus the Telegram DM topic
reply-fallback shape used everywhere else in the gateway.

Carve-out of #7404. The PR's other hunk (line 7578, queued first
response) is already redundant on main — gateway/run.py:15782 has used
_status_thread_metadata since the _thread_metadata_for_source plumbing
landed.

Closes #7355 (path B; paths A and C closed via prior salvage merges).

ff14666cdc fix(gateway): stream consumer first message drops thread context
Cherry-picked from PR #13077 commits:
- 5500c7d8 fix(gateway): stream consumer first message drops thread context
- e84403b9 test(gateway): add regression tests for stream consumer thread routing

Fixes: Streaming first message drops thread/topic context in Feishu group
topics, Slack threads, Telegram forum topics. Adds initial_reply_to_id
ctor arg to GatewayStreamConsumer, threaded through _send_or_edit and
_send_new_chunk. Also fixes Feishu _send_raw_message fallback path
(reply -> create) to use receive_id_type='thread_id' so the new message
lands in the correct topic instead of the main channel.

a96dd54872 fix: deduplicate kanban notifications for blocked/gave_up states
The kanban notifier was re-firing the same blocked/gave_up/crashed/timed_out
notifications on every 5-second tick. Root cause: after delivering a terminal
event, the notifier unsubscribed the subscription, deleting its cursor. If
the unsub failed (WAL contention, transient error), the subscription survived
with a stale cursor, and the next tick would re-deliver the same event.

Even when the unsub succeeded, the subscription was gone. If the task later
transitioned to a different state (e.g., blocked -> unblocked -> blocked
again), a new subscription would start at cursor=0, re-delivering all past
events.

Fix: stop unsubscribing on terminal event kinds. Only remove the subscription
when the task reaches a truly final status (done/archived). For blocked,
gave_up, crashed, and timed_out, the subscription stays alive and the cursor
mechanism deduplicates naturally -- events with id <= last_event_id are never
re-fetched. This makes the dedup idempotent and eliminates the re-fire bug.

The old concern about subscriptions leaking forever on blocked tasks is moot:
blocked tasks will eventually be unblocked (transitioning to ready/running)
or archived, at which point the subscription is cleaned up.

9c68d12079 test(kanban): cover send-exception rewind + drop noisy success log to debug
Two follow-up improvements to the previous commit's notifier dedup work.

1. Add a regression test for the send-exception rewind path. The
   contributor's PR included a test for the adapter-disconnect path
   (test_kanban_notifier_rewinds_claim_if_adapter_disconnects, where
   adapter is None at delivery time), but not for the "adapter is
   connected, send() raises" path that fires inside the inner try/except
   at gateway/run.py:4314. The new test
   (test_kanban_notifier_rewinds_claim_on_send_exception) uses a
   FailingAdapter that always raises and confirms (a) send was actually
   attempted, (b) the claim was rewound, (c) the next call to
   unseen_events_for_sub still returns the event for retry.

2. Drop the per-delivery success log from INFO to DEBUG. A busy board
   on a multi-platform gateway can produce hundreds of these per day;
   that's gateway.log noise that obscures real warnings. Failure paths
   stay at WARNING (where you'd want to look when something's wrong)
   so we don't lose visibility into transient send issues.

00ce5f04d9 feat(session): make /handoff actually transfer the session live
Builds on @kshitijk4poor's CLI handoff stub. The original PR's flow
deferred everything to whenever a real user happened to message the
target platform; this rewrites it so the gateway picks up handoffs
immediately and the destination chat just starts working.

State machine on sessions table replaces the boolean flag:
  None -> 'pending' -> 'running' -> ('completed' | 'failed')
plus handoff_error for failure reasons. CLI request_handoff /
get_handoff_state / list_pending_handoffs / claim_handoff /
complete_handoff / fail_handoff helpers wrap the transitions.

CLI side (cli.py): /handoff <platform> validates the platform's home
channel via load_gateway_config, refuses if the agent is mid-turn,
flips the row to 'pending', and poll-blocks (60s) on terminal state.
On 'completed' it prints the /resume hint and exits the CLI like
/quit. On 'failed' or timeout it surfaces the reason and the CLI
session stays intact.

Gateway side (gateway/run.py): new _handoff_watcher background task
scans state.db every 2s, atomically claims pending rows, and runs
_process_handoff for each. _process_handoff:

  1. Resolves the platform's home channel.
  2. Asks the adapter for a fresh thread via the new
     create_handoff_thread(parent_chat_id, name) capability so the
     handed-off conversation gets its own scrollback. Adapters that
     don't support threads (or fail) return None and the watcher
     falls back to the home channel directly.
  3. Constructs a SessionSource keyed as 'thread' when a thread was
     created, 'dm' otherwise, then session_store.switch_session
     re-binds the destination key to the CLI session_id. The full
     role-aware transcript replays via load_transcript on the next
     turn (no flat-text injection into context_prompt).
  4. Forges a synthetic MessageEvent(internal=True) with the handoff
     notice and dispatches through _handle_message; the agent runs
     against the loaded transcript and adapter.send delivers the
     reply.
  5. Marks the row 'completed' on success, 'failed' (+error) on any
     exception.

Adapter capability (gateway/platforms/base.py): create_handoff_thread
default returns None. Three overrides:

  - Telegram (gateway/platforms/telegram.py): wraps _create_dm_topic
    so DM topics (Bot API 9.4+) and forum supergroups both work.
  - Discord (gateway/platforms/discord.py): parent.create_thread on
    text channels with a seed-message + message.create_thread
    fallback for permission edge cases. Skips DMs and other
    non-thread-capable parents.
  - Slack (gateway/platforms/slack.py): posts a seed message and
    returns its ts as the thread anchor — Slack threads are
    message-anchored.

In thread mode, build_session_key keys the destination without
user_id (thread_sessions_per_user defaults to False) so the synthetic
turn and any later real-user message in the thread share the same
session_key — seamless takeover without race.

CommandDef stays cli_only=True (handoff is initiated from the CLI;
gateway exposes /resume for the reverse direction).

Removed the original PR's _handle_message_with_agent handoff hook
(transcript-as-text injection into context_prompt) and the
send_message_tool notification — both replaced by the watcher path.

Tests rewritten around the new state machine: 13/13 pass.
E2E-validated thread + no-thread paths and the failure path against
real worktree imports with mocked adapters.

878611a79d feat(session): add /handoff command for cross-platform session transfer
Adds /handoff <platform> CLI command that queues the current session for
resume on the configured home channel of any messaging platform.

CLI side:
- /handoff telegram — marks session in shared DB, sends summary to
  the Telegram home channel via send_message
- /handoff discord — same for Discord
- Supports telegram, discord, slack, whatsapp, signal, matrix

Gateway side:
- On new session creation, checks for pending handoffs for the
  incoming message's platform
- If found, loads the CLI session's full conversation history and
  injects it into the context prompt as a handoff transcript
- Agent continues the conversation seamlessly

Files:
- hermes_state.py: handoff_pending, handoff_platform columns + helpers
- cli.py: _handle_handoff_command dispatch + handler
- hermes_cli/commands.py: CommandDef entry
- gateway/run.py: handoff detection in _handle_message_with_agent
- tests/hermes_cli/test_session_handoff.py: 8 tests

feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands (salvage of #4443) (#23373)
* feat(gateway): per-platform admin/user split for slash commands

Adds an opt-in two-list access control on top of the existing per-platform
`allow_from` allowlists, scoped to slash commands only:

  - allow_admin_from         — full slash command access
  - user_allowed_commands    — what non-admins may run
  - group_allow_admin_from   — same, group/channel scope
  - group_user_allowed_commands

When `allow_admin_from` is unset for a scope, gating is disabled and every
allowed user keeps full access (backward compat). Plain chat is unaffected.
`/help` and `/whoami` are always reachable so users can see what they
can run.

Gate runs at the slash command dispatch site in gateway/run.py and uses
`is_gateway_known_command()`, so it covers built-in AND plugin-registered
commands through the live registry without per-feature wiring.

Adds `/whoami` showing platform, scope, tier, and runnable commands.

Salvage of PR #4443's permission tier work, scoped down. The full tier
system, tool filtering, audit log, usage tracking, rate limiting,
`/promote` flow, and persistent SQLite stores are not included here —
those can be re-expanded later if needed.

* fix(gateway): close running-agent fast-path bypass + add coverage and central docs

The slash command access gate was only applied at the cold dispatch site
(line ~5921). When an agent was already running, the running-agent
fast-path block (line ~5574) dispatched /restart, /stop, /new, /steer,
/model, /approve, /deny, /agents, /background, /kanban, /goal, /yolo,
/verbose, /footer, /help, /commands, /profile, /update directly
without going through the gate — letting non-admins bypass gating just
because an agent happens to be busy.

Refactored the gate into _check_slash_access() and called from BOTH
paths. /status remains intentionally pre-gate so users can always see
session state.

Also added 18 more dispatch tests covering:
  - Running-agent fast-path: blocks non-admin, allows admin, /status
    always works
  - Alias canonicalization (gate uses canonical name, not user alias)
  - Unknown / unregistered commands pass through (don't false-positive)
  - DM admin scope-locked when group has its own admin list
  - Multi-platform isolation (Discord gated, Telegram unrestricted)

Docs: added Slash Command Access Control section to the central
messaging index page + /whoami row in the chat commands table.

feat(gateway): shutdown forensics — non-blocking diag, per-phase timing, stale-unit warning (#23285)
When the gateway received SIGTERM, the shutdown_signal_handler ran a
synchronous 'ps aux' (3s timeout) inside the asyncio event loop, then
asyncio.create_task(runner.stop()).  On a busy host that ate 1-3s of
the teardown budget before draining could even start, and the resulting
log line was a multi-line ps dump that didn't tell us who sent the
signal.  The shutdown path itself logged 'Stopping gateway...' and then
nothing until 'Gateway stopped' — when systemd SIGKILLed mid-drain,
there was no way to see which phase wedged.

Changes:
- New gateway/shutdown_forensics.py:
  * snapshot_shutdown_context(sig) — sub-millisecond /proc-only capture
    of signal name, parent pid+name+cmdline, INVOCATION_ID (systemd
    marker), loadavg_1m, TracerPid, takeover/planned-stop marker
    presence + whether-it-names-self.  Pure stdlib, never raises.
  * spawn_async_diagnostic(log_path, sig) — detached subprocess with
    its own 'timeout 5s', start_new_session=True, writes ps auxf +
    pstree + dmesg to ~/.hermes/logs/gateway-shutdown-diag.log.
    Returns immediately, can't block the event loop or the cgroup
    teardown.
  * check_systemd_timing_alignment(drain_timeout) — reads
    /proc/self/cgroup for our unit, asks systemctl show for
    TimeoutStopUSec, returns mismatch info when the unit's stop
    timeout is smaller than restart_drain_timeout + 30s headroom
    (the case where systemd SIGKILLs mid-drain).
  * _parse_systemd_duration_to_us — covers '90s', '1min 30s',
    '500ms', '1h' style values from systemctl show.
  * format_context_for_log — single scannable key=value line, parent
    cmdline last.
- gateway/run.py shutdown_signal_handler:
  * Replaces synchronous ps aux + ad-hoc 'hermes-related lines' filter
    with snapshot + detached spawn.
  * Always logs 'Shutdown context: signal=... parent_pid=...
    parent_cmdline=...' regardless of planned/unexpected so we can
    correlate signal source even on planned restarts.
- gateway/run.py _stop_impl:
  * Per-phase '+X.XXs' timing for notify_active_sessions, drain
    (with drain_seconds, active_at_start, active_now, timed_out),
    post-interrupt tool kill, each adapter disconnect (Xs),
    all adapters disconnected, final-cleanup tool kill, SessionDB
    close, total teardown.
- gateway/run.py start():
  * Stale-unit warning at startup when the running systemd unit's
    TimeoutStopSec is smaller than the configured drain timeout.
    Points the user at 'hermes gateway service install --replace'
    to regenerate, or at shortening agent.restart_drain_timeout.

Tests: 30 new in tests/gateway/test_shutdown_forensics.py — snapshot
speed bound, signal name resolution, marker detection self-vs-other,
async diag spawn doesn't block caller, systemd duration parser, and
alignment check returns None outside systemd.  Wider tests/gateway/
suite: 5258 passing, 3 pre-existing TTS-routing failures unchanged
on main.

feat(i18n): localize all gateway commands + web dashboard, add 8 new locales (16 total) (#22914)
* feat(i18n): localize /model command output

Reported by @tianma8888: when Chinese users run /model, the labels
("Provider:", "Context:", "_session only_", etc.) are still English.
This routes the static prose through the existing i18n catalog so it
follows display.language / HERMES_LANGUAGE.

Changes:
- locales/{en,zh,ja,de,es,fr,tr,uk}.yaml: add 17 keys under
  gateway.model.* covering switched/provider/context/max_output/cost/
  capabilities/prompt_caching/warning/saved_global/session_only_hint/
  current_label/current_tag/more_models_suffix/usage_*.
- gateway/run.py _handle_model_command: replace hardcoded f-strings in
  the picker callback, the text-list fallback, and the direct-switch
  confirmation block with t("gateway.model.<key>", ...).

What stays English:
- model IDs, provider slugs, capability strings, cost figures, and the
  "[Note: model was just switched...]" prepended to the model's next
  prompt (LLM-facing, not user-facing).
- The two slightly-different session-only hints unify on a single key
  with the em-dash phrasing.

Validation: tests/agent/test_i18n.py 27/27 passing (parity contract
holds), tests/gateway/ -k 'model or i18n' 74/74 passing.

* feat(i18n): localize all gateway slash command outputs

Expands the i18n catalog from 7 strings to 234 keys across 35 gateway
slash command handlers, so non-English users see localized output for
\`/profile\`, \`/status\`, \`/help\`, \`/personality\`, \`/voice\`, \`/reset\`,
\`/agents\`, \`/restart\`, \`/commands\`, \`/goal\`, \`/retry\`, \`/undo\`,
\`/sethome\`, \`/title\`, \`/yolo\`, \`/background\`, \`/approve\`, \`/deny\`,
\`/insights\`, \`/debug\`, \`/rollback\`, \`/reasoning\`, \`/fast\`,
\`/verbose\`, \`/footer\`, \`/compress\`, \`/topic\`, \`/kanban\`,
\`/resume\`, \`/branch\`, \`/usage\`, \`/reload-mcp\`, \`/reload-skills\`,
\`/update\`, \`/stop\` (plus the \`/model\` block already added in the
previous commit).

Reported by @tianma8888 — Chinese users want command output prose in
their language, not just the labels we already had.

Translations are hand-written for all 8 supported locales (en, zh, ja,
de, es, fr, tr, uk), matching each catalog's existing style: full-width
punctuation in zh, em-dashes in zh/ja/uk, French spaced colons,
German noun capitalization, etc.

What stays English (unchanged):
- Identifiers/values: model IDs, file paths, profile names, session IDs,
  command flag names like --global, URLs, config keys.
- Backtick code spans: \`/foo\`, \`config.yaml\`.
- Log messages (logger.info/warning/error).
- LLM-facing system notes prepended to next prompt (e.g. [Note: model
  was just switched...]).
- Strings produced by external modules (gateway_help_lines,
  format_gateway, manual_compression_feedback) — those have their
  own surfaces.

New shared keys for cross-handler boilerplate:
- gateway.shared.session_db_unavailable (5 call sites: branch, title,
  resume, topic, _disable_telegram_topic_mode_for_chat)
- gateway.shared.session_not_found (1 site)
- gateway.shared.warn_passthrough (2 sites in /title's f"⚠️ {e}" pattern)

YAML gotcha fixed: \`yolo.on\` and \`yolo.off\` were originally written
unquoted, which YAML 1.1 parses as boolean True/False keys. Renamed to
\`yolo.enabled\` / \`yolo.disabled\` for both safety and clarity.

Test fix: tests/agent/test_i18n.py::test_t_missing_key_in_non_english_falls_back_to_english
now resets the catalog cache on teardown, so the fake "foo: English Foo"
locale doesn't poison the module-level cache for subsequent tests in
the same xdist worker. (Without this, every gateway slash command test
that shares a worker with the i18n suite would see the fake catalog.)

Validation:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 27/27 (parity contract — every key in every
  locale, matching placeholder tokens).
- tests/gateway/: 5077 passed, 0 failed (full gateway suite).
- 180 t() call sites added across 35 handlers; 1872 catalog entries
  total (234 keys × 8 locales).

* feat(i18n): add 8 new locales — af, ko, it, ga, zh-hant, pt, ru, hu

Expands the static-message catalog from 8 → 16 languages, each with full
270-key parity against the English source-of-truth.  Every locale now
covers the same surface PR #22914 added: approval prompts plus all 35
gateway slash command outputs.

New locales:
- af  Afrikaans      (community ask in #21961 by @GodsBoy; PRs #21962, #21970)
- ko  Korean         (PRs #20297 by @tmdgusya, #22285 by @project820)
- it  Italian        (PR #20371 by @leprincep35700)
- ga  Irish/Gaeilge  (PR #20962 by @ryanmcc09-dot)
- zh-hant Traditional Chinese (PRs #20523 by @jackey8616, #13140 by @anomixer)
- pt  Portuguese     (PRs #20443 by @pedroborges, #15737 by @carloshenriquecarniatto, #22063 by @Magaav)
- ru  Russian        (PR #22770 by @DrMaks22)
- hu  Hungarian      (PR #22336 by @lunasec007)

Each locale uses native-quality translations matching the existing tone
and conventions of the older 8 locales:
- zh-hant uses 繁體 characters with TW/HK technical vocabulary (軟體
  not 软件, 連線 not 连接, 設定 not 设置, 訊息 not 消息, 工作階段 not 会话, 程式
  not 程序, 預設 not 默认, 伺服器 not 服务器), full-width punctuation 「:()」.
- ko uses formal 합니다체 (습니다/합니다) register throughout.
- pt uses European Portuguese as baseline with neutral PT/BR vocabulary
  where possible.
- ga uses standard An Caighdeán Oifigiúil; English loanwords retained
  for tech terms without good Irish equivalents (gateway, API, JSON).
- All preserve {placeholder} tokens, backtick code spans, slash commands,
  brand names (Hermes, MCP, TTS, YOLO, OpenAI, Telegram, etc.), and emoji.

Aliases added in agent/i18n.py:
- af-za, Afrikaans → af
- ko-kr, Korean, 한국어 → ko
- it-it, italiano → it
- ga-ie, Irish, Gaeilge → ga
- zh-tw, zh-hk, zh-mo, traditional-chinese → zh-hant (note: zh-tw used to
  alias to zh; now aliases to its own zh-hant catalog)
- zh-cn, zh-hans, zh-sg → zh (unchanged from before)
- pt-pt, pt-br, brazilian, portuguese → pt
- ru-ru, Russian, русский → ru
- hu-hu, Magyar → hu

The zh-tw alias re-routing is intentional: previously typing 'zh-TW' got
the Simplified Chinese catalog (wrong vocabulary for Taiwan/HK users).
Now those users get the proper Traditional Chinese catalog.

Validation:
- tests/agent/test_i18n.py: 43/43 (parity contract holds for all 16
  languages × 270 keys = 4320 catalog entries, with matching placeholder
  tokens).
- E2E alias resolution verified for all 19 alias inputs (Afrikaans, ko-KR,
  한국어, italiano, Gaeilge, zh-TW, zh-HK, traditional-chinese, pt-BR,
  brazilian, Magyar, etc.).
- tests/gateway/: 5198 passed (3 pre-existing TTS routing failures
  unrelated to i18n).

Credit to all contributors whose PRs surfaced these language requests.
Their original PRs may now be closed as superseded with credit.

* feat(dashboard-i18n): add 14 web dashboard locales matching the static catalog

Brings the React dashboard (web/src/) up to the same 16-language
coverage the static catalog already has after the previous commits in
this PR. The Translations interface is TypeScript-typed, so every new
locale must provide every key — tsc -b is the parity guard.

Languages added (each is a complete 429-line locale file):
- af  Afrikaans
- ja  Japanese        (PR #22513 by @snuffxxx surfaced this)
- de  German          (PR #21749 by @mag1art)
- es  Spanish         (PR #21749)
- fr  French          (PRs #21749, #10310 by @foXaCe)
- tr  Turkish
- uk  Ukrainian
- ko  Korean          (PRs #21749, #18894 by @ovstng, #22285 by @project820)
- it  Italian
- ga  Irish (Gaeilge)
- zh-hant Traditional Chinese (PR #13140 by @anomixer)
- pt  Portuguese      (PRs #22063 by @Magaav, #22182 by @wesleysimplicio, #15737 by @carloshenriquecarniatto)
- ru  Russian         (PRs #21749, #22770 by @DrMaks22)
- hu  Hungarian       (PR #22336 by @lunasec007)

Each translation covers all 15 namespaces with full key parity vs en.ts,
preserves every {placeholder} token verbatim, keeps identifiers
untranslated (brand names, file paths, cron expressions, code spans),
translates the language.switchTo tooltip into the target language, and
matches existing tone conventions (zh-hant uses TW/HK vocab; ja uses
formal desu/masu; ko uses formal seumnida register; ga uses An
Caighdean Oifigiuil with English loanwords for tech vocab without good
Irish equivalents).

Plumbing:
- web/src/i18n/types.ts: Locale union expanded to all 16 codes.
- web/src/i18n/context.tsx: imports all 16 catalogs; exports
  LOCALE_META (endonym + flag per locale); isLocale() type guard.
- web/src/i18n/index.ts: re-export LOCALE_META.
- web/src/components/LanguageSwitcher.tsx: replaced two-state EN-ZH
  toggle with a click-to-open dropdown listing all 16 languages.

Note: zh-hant.ts exports zhHant (camelCase) since hyphen is invalid in
a JS identifier; the canonical 'zh-hant' string keys it in TRANSLATIONS.

Validation:
- npx tsc -b: 0 errors. Every locale satisfies Translations.
- npm run build (tsc + vite production): green, 2062 modules.
- Each locale file is exactly 429 lines.

Out of scope: plugin dashboards (kanban/achievements ship as prebuilt
bundles with no source in repo); Docusaurus docs (separate surface);
TUI (no i18n yet).

* feat(plugin-i18n): localize achievements + kanban plugin dashboards across all 16 locales

Brings the two shipped plugin dashboards (hermes-achievements, kanban)
under the same i18n umbrella as the core dashboard PR #22914 just
established.  Both bundles now read user-facing strings from the host's
i18n catalog via SDK.useI18n() instead of hardcoded English.

## Approach

Plugin dashboards ship as prebuilt IIFE bundles in
plugins/<name>/dashboard/dist/index.js — no build step, no source in
repo (upstream-authored, vendored as compiled JS).  Earlier contributor
PRs (#22594, #22595, #18747) tried direct edits but didn't actually
wire the bundles to read translations.

This change does the wiring properly:

1.  Each bundle gets a useI18n shim at IIFE scope:
        const useI18n = SDK.useI18n
          || function () { return { t: { kanban: null }, locale: "en" }; };
    Older host SDKs without useI18n still load the bundle and render
    English fallbacks.

2.  A small tx(t, path, fallback, vars) helper resolves dotted keys
    under the plugin's namespace (t.kanban.* or t.achievements.*) and
    interpolates {placeholder} tokens.

3.  Every React component starts with const { t } = useI18n() and
    each user-visible string is wrapped in tx(t, "key", "English fallback").
    Helpers called outside React components (window.prompt callers,
    constants used during init) take t as a parameter.

4.  Top-level constants that were English dictionaries (COLUMN_LABEL,
    COLUMN_HELP, DESTRUCTIVE_TRANSITIONS, DIAGNOSTIC_EVENT_LABELS in
    kanban) become getColumnLabel(t, status)-style functions backed by
    FALLBACK_* dictionaries.

## Translations added

Two new top-level namespaces added to the dashboard's TypeScript-typed
Translations interface:

- achievements: ~70 keys covering the hero, scan banner, achievement
  card, share dialog, stats, filters, and empty states.
- kanban: ~145 keys covering the board, columns (with nested
  columnLabels and columnHelp sub-dicts), card detail panel,
  bulk-actions toolbar, dependency editor, board switcher, and
  diagnostic callouts.

Each key is provided across all 16 supported locales:
en, zh, zh-hant, ja, de, es, fr, tr, uk, af, ko, it, ga, pt, ru, hu.

Total new translation entries: ~3,440 (215 keys × 16 locales).

## What stays English (deliberate)

- API paths, CSS class names, data-* attributes, JSON keys, regex
  strings, URLs, file paths (~/.hermes/kanban.db, boards/_archived/).
- State identifier strings used as lookup keys (triage / todo / ready /
  running / blocked / done / archived) — labels translate, key strings
  don't.
- The PNG share-card text rendered to canvas in the achievements
  ShareDialog (HERMES AGENT watermark, UNLOCKED stamp, tier names) —
  these become part of a globally-shared image and stay English.
- localStorage keys (hermes.kanban.selectedBoard).
- Brand names (Kanban, Hermes, WebSocket, Nous Research).

## Contributor credit

PR #22594 by @02356abc and PR #22595 by @02356abc supplied the
en + zh kanban namespace skeleton (145 keys); used as the en source-
of-truth in this commit and translated to the other 14 locales.

PR #18747 by @laolaoshiren first surfaced the achievements
localization request.

## Validation

- npx tsc -b: 0 errors. All 16 locale .ts files satisfy the
  Translations type with full key parity.
- npm run build (tsc + vite production build): green, 2062 modules,
  1.56MB JS / 95KB CSS, ~2.5s build.
- node --check on both plugin bundles: parse cleanly.
- 126 tx() call sites in kanban, 46 in achievements.

## Out of scope

- TUI (ui-tui/) has no i18n infrastructure yet.
- Docusaurus docs (website/i18n/) — already had zh-Hans; expanding
  is a separate translation workstream (Thai / Korean / Hindi PRs).

6f2d60559e fix(kanban): drop redundant init_db() in gateway watchers (#21378)
Both `_kanban_notifier_watcher` and `_kanban_dispatcher_watcher`'s
`_tick_once_for_board` called `_kb.connect(board=slug)` immediately
followed by `_kb.init_db(board=slug)`. Since `connect()` already runs
the schema + idempotent migration on first open per process, the
explicit `init_db()` was redundant — and worse, `init_db()` deliberately
busts the per-process `_INITIALIZED_PATHS` cache and re-runs the migration
on a *second* connection that races the first.

On every cold gateway start against a legacy DB this surfaced as either
`sqlite3.OperationalError: duplicate column name: <col>` or intermittent
`database is locked` errors logged at the first tick. The duplicate-column
case is now tolerated by `_add_column_if_missing` (commit 78698381a), but
the wasted second migration plus the database-is-locked race remain
fixable by skipping the redundant call entirely.

Drops `_kb.init_db(board=slug)` at both call sites and adds a regression
test in `tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py` that pins the absence
via source inspection plus a runtime spy.

1fb9f7c68c fix(gateway): pass max_total_size_mb and max_file_size_mb to CheckpointManager
The /rollback command handler in gateway/run.py was constructing
CheckpointManager with only enabled and max_snapshots, omitting
max_total_size_mb and max_file_size_mb that the __init__ expects.
This caused a TypeError on every /rollback invocation when checkpoints
were enabled.

246c676c2b fix(gateway): degrade gracefully when all platform adapters are missing
When connected_count == 0 AND enabled_platform_count > 0, the gateway
treated 'all adapters returned None' identically to 'all adapters
failed to connect' — both as fatal startup errors. The 'returned None'
case happens when imports fail silently or when adapters are present
in config but their dependencies aren't installed (e.g. discord.py
missing). Cron jobs and other gateway-runtime work would unnecessarily
fail to start.

Split: only return False when startup_retryable_errors is non-empty
(real connection attempt failed). When the list is empty AND enabled
> 0, log a warning and continue running, matching the 'no platforms
enabled' cron path.

Salvage of #22642's gateway slice. Drops the bundled run_agent.py
memory-nudge counter hydration block (issue #22357 territory) which
wasn't mentioned in the PR description.

Closes #5196.

116a1446a4 fix(terminal): bridge docker_env config to TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV
Problem: terminal.docker_env set in config.yaml was silently ignored.
Docker containers never received the user-specified env vars.

Root cause: docker_env was missing from all three config→env bridging
maps (cli.py env_mappings, gateway/run.py _terminal_env_map,
hermes_cli/config.py _config_to_env_sync) and from the terminal_tool
_get_env_config() reader. _create_environment() consumed the key from
container_config correctly, but it was always {} because TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV
was never set.

Also extend the list-serialisation branches in cli.py and gateway/run.py
to handle dict values via json.dumps (lists already used json.dumps;
plain str() on a dict produces undecodable output).

Fix:
- cli.py: add "docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV" to env_mappings;
  serialise dict values with json.dumps alongside existing list path
- gateway/run.py: same additions to _terminal_env_map and serialisation
- hermes_cli/config.py: add "terminal.docker_env": "TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV"
  to _config_to_env_sync so `hermes config set terminal.docker_env …`
  persists to .env correctly
- tools/terminal_tool.py: add docker_env key to _get_env_config() reading
  TERMINAL_DOCKER_ENV via _parse_env_var with default "{}"

Tests: add test_docker_env_is_bridged_everywhere to
tests/tools/test_terminal_config_env_sync.py — stash-verified: fails on
origin/main, passes with fix.

fix(gateway): preserve reasoning_content, codex_message_items, finish_reason on transcript replay (#22839)
PR #2974 whitelisted three reasoning fields (reasoning, reasoning_details,
codex_reasoning_items) for the gateway's simple-text replay branch. Three
more fields were added to the DB later but the whitelist was never updated:

  - reasoning_content: provider-facing thinking text. _copy_reasoning_content_for_api
    promotes 'reasoning' -> 'reasoning_content' at send time only when the
    strings happen to match. Carrying the original verbatim avoids loss
    for providers that return them as distinct fields (DeepSeek/Kimi/
    Moonshot thinking modes), and preserves the empty-string sentinel
    that DeepSeek V4 Pro requires for thinking-mode replay.
  - codex_message_items: exact assistant message items with 'phase'.
    OpenAI docs: 'preserve and resend phase on all assistant messages —
    dropping it can degrade performance.' Required for prefix cache hits.
    No recovery path exists — once dropped, gone.
  - finish_reason: informational; cheap to keep so transcripts replay
    identically across CLI and gateway.

The CLI is unaffected because cli.py keeps the live in-memory message list
across turns (cli.py:10046 'self.conversation_history = result["messages"]').
The gateway rebuilds agent_history from the SQLite transcript on every turn,
so any field stripped during replay is silently lost.

Refactors the inline whitelist into a module-level _build_replay_entry()
helper so the contract can be unit-tested. 16 new tests pin the field set
and falsy-value handling.

Verified end-to-end: DB stores all 8 fields, replay now preserves all 8
(was preserving only 5 for assistant text turns).

448c11f16d fix(telegram): default notifications to 'important' (silence intermediate)
Per-tool-call push notifications on Telegram are noisy enough that
'all' is the wrong default — long agent runs spam the user's notification
shade with status messages they didn't ask to be pinged about. Final
responses, approval prompts, and slash confirmations still notify;
intermediate progress, streaming, and tool-progress messages now
deliver silently via disable_notification.

Users who want the legacy behavior can opt back in with:
  display:
    platforms:
      telegram:
        notifications: all
or HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS=all.

Add a configurable notifications mode for the Telegram platform adapter
that controls which messages trigger push notifications.

- display.platforms.telegram.notifications: "all" (default) | "important"
- HERMES_TELEGRAM_NOTIFICATIONS env var override
- In "important" mode, all sends use disable_notification=True except:

  - Final response messages (metadata["notify"]=True)
- Zero overhead in default "all" mode

feat: confirm prompt for destructive slash commands (#4069) (#22687)
/clear, /new, /reset, and /undo now ask the user to confirm before
discarding conversation state — three-option prompt routed through the
existing tools.slash_confirm primitive.

Native yes/no buttons render on Telegram, Discord, and Slack (their
adapters already implement send_slash_confirm); other platforms get a
text-fallback prompt and reply with /approve, /always, or /cancel.

The classic prompt_toolkit CLI uses the same three-option flow via the
established _prompt_text_input pattern (see _confirm_and_reload_mcp).
TUI keeps its existing modal overlay (#12312).

Gated by new config key approvals.destructive_slash_confirm (default
true). Picking 'Always Approve' flips the gate to false so subsequent
destructive commands run silently — matches the established
mcp_reload_confirm UX.

Out of scope: /cron remove (separate domain — scheduled jobs, not
session history). Existing TUI overlay env-var (HERMES_TUI_NO_CONFIRM)
left unchanged; cosmetic unification can come later.

Closes #4069.

fix(sqlite): fall back to journal_mode=DELETE on NFS/SMB/FUSE (#22043)
SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems. Upstream
documents this explicitly:
  https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode

On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
  - /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
    available.' with no cause
  - gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
  - kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
    (duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)

Changes:
  - hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
    and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
    WARNING explaining why
  - hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():
    capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
    (with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
  - hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
  - gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
    (matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
  - cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
    'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()

Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.

Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.

fix(entry-points): guard hermes_bootstrap import so partial updates don't brick hermes (#22091)
teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after
a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation.  The
failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path
OTHER than a fully-successful ``hermes update``.

## What happens

hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's
``py-modules`` list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work).  It
must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python
can find it as a bare ``import hermes_bootstrap``.

``hermes update`` handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear
__pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including
the new py-modules list), (4) restart.

BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668
on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the
user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv
that doesn't know about it.  Every hermes invocation after that crashes
with ModuleNotFoundError, including ``hermes update`` itself.  No recovery
path without manual `uv pip install -e .`.

Also affects users who ``git pull`` the repo directly without running
hermes update — relatively common for developers.

## Fix

Wrap ``import hermes_bootstrap`` in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError
across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run,
acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner).  On Windows, missing bootstrap
means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode
chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash.  POSIX is unaffected either way
since the bootstrap is a no-op there.

Once hermes is running again, the user can ``hermes update`` to fully
recover.

## Test update

tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap
scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it
is hermes_bootstrap.  Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body
is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form
we just introduced.

Verified behavior by ``mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak``
and confirming ``python -c "import hermes_cli.main"`` succeeds.  82/82
tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat).

cc38282b04 feat(cross-platform): psutil for PID/process management + Windows footgun checker
## Why

Hermes supports Linux, macOS, and native Windows, but the codebase grew up
POSIX-first and has accumulated patterns that silently break (or worse,
silently kill!) on Windows:

- `os.kill(pid, 0)` as a liveness probe — on Windows this maps to
  CTRL_C_EVENT and broadcasts Ctrl+C to the target's entire console
  process group (bpo-14484, open since 2012).
- `os.killpg` — doesn't exist on Windows at all (AttributeError).
- `os.setsid` / `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` — same.
- `signal.SIGKILL` / `signal.SIGHUP` / `signal.SIGUSR1` — module-attr
  errors at runtime on Windows.
- `open(path)` / `open(path, "r")` without explicit encoding= — inherits
  the platform default, which is cp1252/mbcs on Windows (UTF-8 on POSIX),
  causing mojibake round-tripping between hosts.
- `wmic` — removed from Windows 10 21H1+.

This commit does three things:

1. Makes `psutil` a core dependency and migrates critical callsites to it.
2. Adds a grep-based CI gate (`scripts/check-windows-footguns.py`) that
   blocks new instances of any of the above patterns.
3. Fixes every existing instance in the codebase so the baseline is clean.

## What changed

### 1. psutil as a core dependency (pyproject.toml)

Added `psutil>=5.9.0,<8` to core deps. psutil is the canonical
cross-platform answer for "is this PID alive" and "kill this process
tree" — its `pid_exists()` uses `OpenProcess + GetExitCodeProcess` on
Windows (NOT a signal call), and its `Process.children(recursive=True)`
+ `.kill()` combo replaces `os.killpg()` portably.

### 2. `gateway/status.py::_pid_exists`

Rewrote to call `psutil.pid_exists()` first, falling back to the
hand-rolled ctypes `OpenProcess + WaitForSingleObject` dance on Windows
(and `os.kill(pid, 0)` on POSIX) only if psutil is somehow missing —
e.g. during the scaffold phase of a fresh install before pip finishes.

### 3. `os.killpg` migration to psutil (7 callsites, 5 files)

- `tools/code_execution_tool.py`
- `tools/process_registry.py`
- `tools/tts_tool.py`
- `tools/environments/local.py` (3 sites kept as-is, suppressed with
  `# windows-footgun: ok` — the pgid semantics psutil can't replicate,
  and the calls are already Windows-guarded at the outer branch)
- `gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py`

### 4. `scripts/check-windows-footguns.py` (NEW, 500 lines)

Grep-based checker with 11 rules covering every Windows cross-platform
footgun we've hit so far:

1. `os.kill(pid, 0)` — the silent killer
2. `os.setsid` without guard
3. `os.killpg` (recommends psutil)
4. `os.getuid` / `os.geteuid` / `os.getgid`
5. `os.fork`
6. `signal.SIGKILL`
7. `signal.SIGHUP/SIGUSR1/SIGUSR2/SIGALRM/SIGCHLD/SIGPIPE/SIGQUIT`
8. `subprocess` shebang script invocation
9. `wmic` without `shutil.which` guard
10. Hardcoded `~/Desktop` (OneDrive trap)
11. `asyncio.add_signal_handler` without try/except
12. `open()` without `encoding=` on text mode

Features:
- Triple-quoted-docstring aware (won't flag prose inside docstrings)
- Trailing-comment aware (won't flag mentions in `# os.kill(pid, 0)` comments)
- Guard-hint aware (skips lines with `hasattr(os, ...)`,
  `shutil.which(...)`, `if platform.system() != 'Windows'`, etc.)
- Inline suppression with `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- `--list` to print all rules with fixes
- `--all` / `--diff <ref>` / staged-files (default) modes
- Scans 380 files in under 2 seconds

### 5. CI integration

A GitHub Actions workflow that runs the checker on every PR and push is
staged at `/tmp/hermes-stash/windows-footguns.yml` — not included in this
commit because the GH token on the push machine lacks `workflow` scope.
A maintainer with `workflow` permissions should add it as
`.github/workflows/windows-footguns.yml` in a follow-up. Content:

```yaml
name: Windows footgun check
on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]
jobs:
  check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v5
        with: {python-version: "3.11"}
      - run: python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
```

### 6. CONTRIBUTING.md — "Cross-Platform Compatibility" expansion

Expanded from 5 to 16 rules, each with message, example, and fix.
Recommends psutil as the preferred API for PID / process-tree operations.

### 7. Baseline cleanup (91 → 0 findings)

- 14 `open()` sites → added `encoding='utf-8'` (internal logs/caches) or
  `encoding='utf-8-sig'` (user-editable files that Notepad may BOM)
- 23 POSIX-only callsites in systemd helpers, pty_bridge, and plugin
  tool subprocess management → annotated with
  `# windows-footgun: ok — <reason>`
- 7 `os.killpg` sites → migrated to psutil (see §3 above)

## Verification

```
$ python scripts/check-windows-footguns.py --all
✓ No Windows footguns found (380 file(s) scanned).

$ python -c "from gateway.status import _pid_exists; import os
> print('self:', _pid_exists(os.getpid())); print('bogus:', _pid_exists(999999))"
self: True
bogus: False
```

Proof-of-repro that `os.kill(pid, 0)` was actually killing processes
before this fix — see commit `1cbe39914` and bpo-14484. This commit
removes the last hand-rolled ctypes path from the hot liveness-check
path and defers to the best-maintained cross-platform answer.

324567c936 fix(windows): os.kill(pid, 0) is NOT a no-op on Windows — route through new _pid_exists helper
On Windows, Python's ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` is NOT a no-op. CPython's
implementation (``Modules/posixmodule.c::os_kill_impl``) treats sig=0
as ``CTRL_C_EVENT`` because the two integer values collide at the C
layer, and routes it through ``GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(0, pid)`` —
which sends a Ctrl+C to the ENTIRE console process group containing
the target PID, not just the PID itself. Any caller that wanted to
check "is PID X alive" via the classic POSIX ``os.kill(pid, 0)``
idiom was silently killing that process (and often unrelated
processes in the same console group) on Windows. Long-standing
Python Windows quirk; see bpo-14484 (open since 2012).

This manifested in Hermes as: every ``hermes gateway status``
invocation would read the gateway's PID from the PID file, call
``os.kill(pid, 0)`` via ``gateway.status.get_running_pid()`` as a
"liveness check", and instantly terminate the gateway it was trying
to report on. No shutdown log, no traceback, no atexit hook fire,
no exit-diag entry — just silent termination of the detached pythonw
process. "Bot answered one message then stopped typing" was the
characteristic end-user symptom because `os.kill(pid, 0)` fires
mid-response-send and kills the gateway between logs.

Reproduction (verified in this branch before the fix):

  $ hermes gateway start       # gateway alive, PID 37520
  $ hermes gateway status      # reports "No gateway process detected"
  $ tasklist /FI "PID eq 37520"  # INFO: No tasks are running
                                 # — gateway terminated silently

Root-cause fix is a new ``gateway.status._pid_exists(pid)`` helper:

- On Windows: Win32 ``OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION |
  SYNCHRONIZE, False, pid)`` + ``WaitForSingleObject(handle, 0)``
  via ctypes. Zero signal delivery, zero console-group side effects.
  Pins ctypes return types to avoid DWORD-vs-signed-int parse bugs
  on WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x102). Distinguishes ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER
  (PID gone) from ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (alive but another user).
- On POSIX: the canonical ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` idiom that actually is
  a no-op there.

Then patch every ``os.kill(pid, 0)`` liveness-check callsite to
route through ``_pid_exists`` instead. Total 14 callsites across
11 files; every single one was a latent silent-kill on Windows:

  gateway/run.py:2810      — /restart watcher (inline subprocess)
  gateway/run.py:15195     — --replace wait loop
  gateway/status.py:572    — acquire_gateway_runtime_lock stale check
  gateway/status.py:828    — get_running_pid (THE killer for status)
  gateway/platforms/whatsapp.py:111
  hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 522, 1012  — gateway-related drain loops
  hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2826         — _pid_alive was claiming to
                                         be cross-platform but used
                                         os.kill(pid, 0) on Windows
  hermes_cli/main.py:5792        — CLI process-kill polling

  tools/browser_tool.py:1215, 1255  — browser daemon ownership probes
  tools/mcp_tool.py:1255, 3374     — MCP stdio orphan tracking

The watcher source in gateway/run.py:2810 is a multi-line string
that gets spawned as an inline ``python -c "..."`` subprocess, so
it can't import gateway.status. The fix for that callsite inlines
the same ctypes probe directly into the watcher source.

Tested on Windows 10 with the hermes gateway + Telegram bot:
- gateway start → alive
- 5 consecutive ``hermes gateway status`` invocations → gateway
  alive after every one, same PID reported each time (37520, 21952)
- gateway.log shows uninterrupted operation; no spurious shutdown
  entries; cron ticker and kanban dispatcher still running on
  their 60-second cadence
- bot continues answering Telegram messages throughout

Ships alongside an exit-path diagnostic wrapper in
``hermes_cli/gateway.py::run_gateway()`` that captures every way
``asyncio.run(start_gateway(...))`` can return (success, SystemExit,
KeyboardInterrupt, BaseException, atexit) with full traceback to
``logs/gateway-exit-diag.log``. This was used to prove the gateway
was being hard-killed externally (no exit event fired) and should
be kept for future Windows debugging.

d94fb47717 hermes_bootstrap: Windows-only UTF-8 stdio shim for all entry points
Codebase-wide fix for Python-on-Windows UTF-8 footguns, complementing
the earlier execute_code sandbox fixes (which remain load-bearing for
when the sandbox explicitly scrubs child env).

Problem: Python on Windows has two long-standing text-encoding pitfalls:

  1. sys.stdout/stderr are bound to the console code page (cp1252 on
     US-locale installs) — print('café') crashes with UnicodeEncodeError.
  2. Subprocess children don't know to use UTF-8 unless PYTHONUTF8 and/or
     PYTHONIOENCODING are set in their env — so any Python we spawn
     (linters, sandbox children, delegation workers) hits the same bug.

Solution: A tiny bootstrap module (hermes_bootstrap.py) imported as the
first statement of every Hermes entry point:

  - hermes_cli/main.py   (hermes / hermes-agent console_script)
  - run_agent.py         (hermes-agent direct)
  - acp_adapter/entry.py (hermes-acp)
  - gateway/run.py       (messaging gateway)
  - batch_runner.py      (parallel batch mode)
  - cli.py               (legacy direct-launch CLI)

On Windows, the bootstrap:
  - os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONUTF8', '1')       (PEP 540 UTF-8 mode)
  - os.environ.setdefault('PYTHONIOENCODING', 'utf-8')
  - sys.stdout/stderr/stdin.reconfigure(encoding='utf-8', errors='replace')

Children inherit the env vars → they run in UTF-8 mode.
Current process's stdio is reconfigured → print('café') works now.

On POSIX (Linux/macOS), the bootstrap is a complete no-op.  We don't
touch LANG, LC_*, or anything else — users who have intentionally
configured a non-UTF-8 locale aren't affected.  POSIX systems are
already UTF-8 by default in 99% of modern setups, so there's nothing
to fix.

setdefault() (not overwrite) means users who explicitly set PYTHONUTF8=0
or PYTHONIOENCODING=cp1252 in their environment are respected.

What this does NOT fix: bare open(path, 'w') calls in the *parent*
process still default to locale encoding because PYTHONUTF8 is only
read at interpreter init.  A ruff PLW1514 sweep (separate follow-up)
will add explicit encoding='utf-8' at those ~219 call sites for
belt-and-suspenders.

Tests (17): 16 passed, 1 skipped on Windows.
  - Windows: env vars set, stdio reconfigured, child inherits UTF-8 mode
  - POSIX: complete no-op (verified on fake POSIX + skipped on real
    POSIX since we don't have a Linux box in this session)
  - Idempotence: multiple calls safe
  - Graceful degradation: non-reconfigurable streams don't crash
  - User opt-out: explicit PYTHONUTF8=0 is respected
  - Load order: every entry point's FIRST top-level import is
    hermes_bootstrap, enforced by an AST-level parametrized test

pyproject.toml: added hermes_bootstrap to py-modules so it ships with
pip installs.

e93bfc6c93 feat(windows): close remaining POSIX-only landmines — TUI crash, kanban waitpid, AF_UNIX sandbox, /bin/bash, npm .cmd shims, cwd tracking, detach flags
Second pass on native Windows support, driven by a systematic audit across
five areas: POSIX-only primitives (signal.SIGKILL/SIGHUP/SIGPIPE, os.WNOHANG,
os.setsid), path translation bugs (/c/Users → C:\Users), subprocess patterns
(npm.cmd batch shims, start_new_session no-op on Windows), subsystem health
(cron, gateway daemon, update flow), and module-level import guards.

Every change is platform-gated — POSIX (Linux/macOS) behaviour is preserved
bit-identical. Explicit "do no harm" test: test_posix_path_preserved_on_linux,
test_posix_noop, test_windows_detach_popen_kwargs_is_posix_equivalent_on_posix.

## New module

- hermes_cli/_subprocess_compat.py — shared helpers (resolve_node_command,
  windows_detach_flags, windows_hide_flags, windows_detach_popen_kwargs).
  All no-ops on non-Windows.

## CRITICAL fixes (would crash or silently break on Windows)

- tui_gateway/entry.py: SIGPIPE/SIGHUP referenced at module top level would
  AttributeError on import on Windows, breaking `hermes --tui` entirely (it
  spawns this module as a subprocess).  Guard each signal.signal() call with
  hasattr() and add SIGBREAK as Windows' SIGHUP equivalent.

- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: os.waitpid(-1, os.WNOHANG) in dispatcher tick was
  unguarded.  os.WNOHANG doesn't exist on Windows.  Gate the whole reap loop
  behind `os.name != "nt"` — Windows has no zombies anyway.

- tools/code_execution_tool.py: AF_UNIX socket for execute_code RPC fails on
  most Windows builds.  Fall back to loopback TCP (AF_INET on 127.0.0.1:0
  ephemeral port) when _IS_WINDOWS.  HERMES_RPC_SOCKET env var now accepts
  either a filesystem path (POSIX) or `tcp://127.0.0.1:<port>` (Windows).
  Generated sandbox client parses both.

- cron/scheduler.py: `argv = ["/bin/bash", str(path)]` hardcoded.  Use
  shutil.which("bash") so Windows (Git Bash via MinGit) works, with a
  readable error when bash is genuinely absent.

- 6 bare npm/npx spawn sites: tools_config.py x2, doctor.py, whatsapp.py
  (npm install + node version probe), browser_tool.py x2.  On Windows npm
  is npm.cmd / npx is npx.cmd (batch shims); subprocess.Popen(["npm", ...])
  fails with WinError 193.  shutil.which(...) returns the absolute .cmd
  path which CreateProcessW accepts because the extension routes through
  cmd.exe /c.  POSIX behaviour unchanged (shutil.which still returns the
  same path subprocess would resolve itself).

## HIGH fixes (silent misbehaviour on Windows)

- tools/environments/local.py get_temp_dir: hardcoded /tmp returned on
  Windows meant `_cwd_file = "/tmp/hermes-cwd-*.txt"`, which bash wrote
  via MSYS2's virtual /tmp but native Python couldn't open.  Result: cwd
  tracking silently broken — `cd` in terminal tool did nothing.  Windows
  branch now returns `%HERMES_HOME%/cache/terminal` with forward slashes
  (works in both bash and Python, guaranteed no spaces).

- tools/environments/local.py _make_run_env PATH injection: `/usr/bin not
  in split(":")` heuristic mangles Windows PATH (";" separator).  Gate
  the injection behind `not _IS_WINDOWS`.

- hermes_cli/gateway.py launch_detached_profile_gateway_restart: outer
  Popen + watcher-script Popen both used start_new_session=True, which
  Windows silently ignores.  Watcher stayed attached to CLI's console,
  died when user closed terminal after `hermes update`, left gateway
  stale.  Now branches through windows_detach_popen_kwargs() helper
  (CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP | DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NO_WINDOW on
  Windows, start_new_session=True on POSIX — identical to main).

## MEDIUM fixes

- gateway/run.py /restart and /update handlers: hardcoded bash/setsid
  chain crashes on Windows when user triggers /update in-gateway.  Now
  has sys.platform=="win32" branch using sys.executable + a tiny
  Python watcher with proper detach flags.  POSIX path is unchanged.

- cli.py _git_repo_root: Git on Windows sometimes returns /c/Users/...
  style paths that break subprocess.Popen(cwd=...) and Path().resolve().
  Added _normalize_git_bash_path() helper that translates /c/Users,
  /cygdrive/c, /mnt/c variants to native C:\Users form.  POSIX no-op.
  _git_repo_root() now routes every result through it.

- cli.py worktree .worktreeinclude: os.symlink on directories failed
  hard on Windows (requires admin or Developer Mode).  Falls back to
  shutil.copytree with a warning log.

## Tests

- 29 new tests in tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py covering:
  subprocess_compat helpers, TUI entry signal guards, kanban waitpid
  guard, code_execution TCP fallback source-level invariants, cron bash
  resolution, npm/npx bare-spawn lint per-file, local env Windows temp
  dir, PATH injection gating, git bash path normalization, symlink
  fallback, gateway detached watcher flags.

- One existing test assertion adjusted in test_browser_homebrew_paths:
  it compared captured Popen argv to the BARE `"npx"` literal; after the
  shutil.which() change argv[0] is the absolute path.  New assertion
  checks the shape (two items, second is `agent-browser`) rather than
  the exact first-item string.  Behaviour unchanged; test was too strict.

All 56 tests pass on Linux (30 from previous commits + 26 new).
267 tests from the affected files/dirs (browser, code_exec, local_env,
process_registry, kanban_db, windows_compat) all pass — zero regressions.
tests/hermes_cli/ (3909 pass) and tests/gateway/ (5021 pass) unchanged;
all pre-existing test failures confirmed unrelated via `git stash` re-run.

## What's still deferred (LOW priority)

- Visible cmd-window flashes on short-lived console apps (~14 sites) —
  cosmetic, needs a follow-up pass once we have user reports.
- agent/file_safety.py POSIX-only security deny patterns — separate
  hardening task.
- tools/process_registry.py returning "/tmp" as fallback — theoretical;
  reachable only when all env-var candidates fail.

9de893e3b0 feat(windows): close native-Windows install gaps — crash-free startup, UTF-8 stdio, tzdata dep, docs
Native Windows (with Git for Windows installed) can now run the Hermes CLI
and gateway end-to-end without crashing.  install.ps1 already existed and
the Git Bash terminal backend was already wired up — this PR fills the
remaining gaps discovered by auditing every Windows-unsafe primitive
(`signal.SIGKILL`, `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes, bare `fcntl`/`termios`
imports) and by comparing hermes against how Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex,
and Cline handle native Windows.

## What changed

### UTF-8 stdio (new module)
- `hermes_cli/stdio.py` — single `configure_windows_stdio()` entry point.
  Flips the console code page to CP_UTF8 (65001), reconfigures
  `sys.stdout`/`stderr`/`stdin` to UTF-8, sets `PYTHONIOENCODING` + `PYTHONUTF8`
  for subprocesses.  No-op on non-Windows.  Opt out via `HERMES_DISABLE_WINDOWS_UTF8=1`.
- Called early in `cli.py::main`, `hermes_cli/main.py::main`, and
  `gateway/run.py::main` so Unicode banners (box-drawing, geometric
  symbols, non-Latin chat text) don't `UnicodeEncodeError` on cp1252
  consoles.

### Crash sites fixed
- `hermes_cli/main.py:7970` (hermes update → stuck gateway sweep): raw
  `os.kill(pid, _signal.SIGKILL)` → `gateway.status.terminate_pid(pid, force=True)`
  which routes through `taskkill /T /F` on Windows.
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py::_stop_gateway_process`: same fix — also
  converted SIGTERM path to `terminate_pid()` and widened OSError catch
  on the intermediate `os.kill(pid, 0)` probe.
- `hermes_cli/kanban_db.py:2914, 3041`: raw `signal.SIGKILL` →
  `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", signal.SIGTERM)` fallback (matches the
  pattern already used in `gateway/status.py`).

### OSError widening on `os.kill(pid, 0)` probes
Windows raises `OSError` (WinError 87) for a gone PID instead of
`ProcessLookupError`.  Widened the catch at:
- `gateway/run.py:15101` (`--replace` wait-for-exit loop — without this,
  the loop busy-spins the full 10s every Windows gateway start)
- `hermes_cli/gateway.py:228, 460, 940`
- `hermes_cli/profiles.py:777`
- `tools/process_registry.py::_is_host_pid_alive`
- `tools/browser_tool.py:1170, 1206`

### Dashboard PTY graceful degradation
`hermes_cli/pty_bridge.py` depends on `fcntl`/`termios`/`ptyprocess`,
none of which exist on native Windows.  Previously a Windows dashboard
would crash on `import hermes_cli.web_server` because of a top-level
import.  Now:
- `hermes_cli/web_server.py` wraps the pty_bridge import in
  `try/except ImportError` and sets `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=False`.
- The `/api/pty` WebSocket handler returns a friendly "use WSL2 for
  this tab" message instead of exploding.
- Every other dashboard feature (sessions, jobs, metrics, config
  editor) runs natively on Windows.

### Dependency
- `pyproject.toml`: add `tzdata>=2023.3; sys_platform == 'win32'` so
  Python's `zoneinfo` works on Windows (which has no IANA tzdata
  shipped with the OS).  Credits @sprmn24 (PR #13182).

### Docs
- README.md: removed "Native Windows is not supported"; added
  PowerShell one-liner and Git-for-Windows prerequisite note.
- `website/docs/getting-started/installation.md`: new Windows section
  with capability matrix (everything native except the dashboard
  `/chat` PTY tab, which is WSL2-only).
- `website/docs/user-guide/windows-wsl-quickstart.md`: reframed as
  "WSL2 as an alternative to native" rather than "the only way".
- `website/docs/developer-guide/contributing.md`: updated
  cross-platform guidance with the `signal.SIGKILL` / `OSError`
  rules we enforce now.
- `website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md`: acknowledged
  native Windows works for everything except the embedded PTY pane.

## Why this shape

Pulled from a survey of how other agent codebases handle native
Windows (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cline):

- All four treat Git Bash as the canonical shell on Windows, same as
  hermes already does in `tools/environments/local.py::_find_bash()`.
- None of them force `SetConsoleOutputCP` — but they don't have to,
  Node/Rust write UTF-16 to the Win32 console API.  Python does not get
  that for free, so we flip CP_UTF8 via ctypes.
- None of them ship PowerShell-as-primary-shell (Claude Code exposes
  PS as a secondary tool; scope creep for this PR).
- All of them use `taskkill /T /F` for force-kill on Windows, which
  is exactly what `gateway.status.terminate_pid(force=True)` does.

## Non-goals (deliberate scope limits)

- No PowerShell-as-a-second-shell tool — worth designing separately.
- No terminal routing rewrite (#12317, #15461, #19800 cluster) — that's
  the hardest design call and needs a separate doc.
- No wholesale `open()` → `open(..., encoding="utf-8")` sweep (Tianworld
  cluster) — will do as follow-up if users hit actual breakage; most
  modern code already specifies it.

## Validation

- 28 new tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py` — all
  platform-mocked, pass on Linux CI.  Cover:
  - `configure_windows_stdio` idempotency, opt-out, env-preservation
  - `terminate_pid` taskkill routing, failure → OSError, FileNotFoundError fallback
  - `getattr(signal, "SIGKILL", …)` fallback shape
  - `_is_host_pid_alive` OSError widening (Windows-gone-PID behavior)
  - Source-level checks that all entry points call `configure_windows_stdio`
  - pty_bridge import-guard present in `web_server.py`
  - README no longer says "not supported"
- 12 pre-existing tests in `tests/tools/test_windows_compat.py` still pass.
- `tests/hermes_cli/` ran fully (3909 passed, 9 failures — all confirmed
  pre-existing on main by stash-test).
- `tests/gateway/` ran fully (5021 passed, 1 pre-existing failure).
- `tests/tools/test_process_registry.py` + `test_browser_*` pass.
- Manual smoke: `import hermes_cli.stdio; import gateway.run;
  import hermes_cli.web_server` — all clean, `_PTY_BRIDGE_AVAILABLE=True`
  on Linux (as expected).

## Files

- New: `hermes_cli/stdio.py`, `tests/tools/test_windows_native_support.py`
- Modified: `cli.py`, `gateway/run.py`, `hermes_cli/main.py`,
  `hermes_cli/profiles.py`, `hermes_cli/gateway.py`,

07bbd93337 feat(teams-pipeline): add plugin runtime and operator cli
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.

Credit to @dlkakbs for the entire plugin implementation.

af9336d575 feat(gateway): generic plugin hooks for env enablement + cron delivery
Widen the platform-plugin surface so plugins can self-configure from env
vars and opt into cron home-channel delivery without editing core files.
Closes the scope gap that forced every new platform (Google Chat, Teams,
IRC, future) to either touch gateway/config.py, cron/scheduler.py, and
hermes_cli/config.py or live without env-only setup.

Changes:

- gateway/platform_registry.py: two new optional PlatformEntry fields.
  - env_enablement_fn: () -> Optional[dict]. Called during
    _apply_env_overrides BEFORE the adapter is constructed. Returned
    dict fields are merged into PlatformConfig.extra; the special
    'home_channel' key (if present) becomes a proper HomeChannel
    dataclass on the PlatformConfig.
  - cron_deliver_env_var: name of the *_HOME_CHANNEL env var. When set,
    the plugin platform is a valid cron deliver= target and cron reads
    the env var to resolve the default chat/room ID.

- gateway/config.py: the existing plugin-platform enable pass at the
  bottom of _apply_env_overrides now calls env_enablement_fn and seeds
  extras/home_channel. No effect on plugins that don't set the new
  field.

- cron/scheduler.py: _is_known_delivery_platform and
  _resolve_home_env_var fall through to the registry when the platform
  isn't in the hardcoded built-in sets. New _iter_home_target_platforms
  helper iterates built-ins + plugin platforms for the deliver=origin
  fallback.

- gateway/run.py: _home_target_env_var now consults the new resolver so
  plugin-defined home channels work for non-cron call sites too.

- hermes_cli/config.py: new _inject_platform_plugin_env_vars() sibling
  of _inject_profile_env_vars(). Scans plugins/platforms/*/plugin.yaml
  at import time and contributes entries to OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so
  'hermes config' UI discovers them. Supports bare-string and rich-dict
  requires_env entries plus a new optional_env list for non-required
  vars (home channels, allowlists).

All additions are strictly opt-in. Existing plugins (IRC, Teams,
image_gen, memory) see zero behavior change until they adopt the new
fields.
