Comprehensive cleanup across 80 files based on automated (ruff, pyflakes, vulture)
and manual analysis of the entire codebase.
Changes by category:
Unused imports removed (~95 across 55 files):
- Removed genuinely unused imports from all major subsystems
- agent/, hermes_cli/, tools/, gateway/, plugins/, cron/
- Includes imports in try/except blocks that were truly unused
(vs availability checks which were left alone)
Unused variables removed (~25):
- Removed dead variables: connected, inner, channels, last_exc,
source, new_server_names, verify, pconfig, default_terminal,
result, pending_handled, temperature, loop
- Dropped unused argparse subparser assignments in hermes_cli/main.py
(12 instances of add_parser() where result was never used)
Dead code removed:
- run_agent.py: Removed dead ternary (None if False else None) and
surrounding unreachable branch in identity fallback
- run_agent.py: Removed write-only attribute _last_reported_tool
- hermes_cli/providers.py: Removed dead @property decorator on
module-level function (decorator has no effect outside a class)
- gateway/run.py: Removed unused MCP config load before reconnect
- gateway/platforms/slack.py: Removed dead SessionSource construction
Undefined name bugs fixed (would cause NameError at runtime):
- batch_runner.py: Added missing logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
- tools/environments/daytona.py: Added missing Dict and Path imports
Unnecessary global statements removed (14):
- tools/terminal_tool.py: 5 functions declared global for dicts
they only mutated via .pop()/[key]=value (no rebinding)
- tools/browser_tool.py: cleanup thread loop only reads flag
- tools/rl_training_tool.py: 4 functions only do dict mutations
- tools/mcp_oauth.py: only reads the global
- hermes_time.py: only reads cached values
Inefficient patterns fixed:
- startswith/endswith tuple form: 15 instances of
x.startswith('a') or x.startswith('b') consolidated to
x.startswith(('a', 'b'))
- len(x)==0 / len(x)>0: 13 instances replaced with pythonic
truthiness checks (not x / bool(x))
- in dict.keys(): 5 instances simplified to in dict
- Redefined unused name: removed duplicate _strip_mdv2 import in
send_message_tool.py
Other fixes:
- hermes_cli/doctor.py: Replaced undefined logger.debug() with pass
- hermes_cli/config.py: Consolidated chained .endswith() calls
Test results: 3934 passed, 17 failed (all pre-existing on main),
19 skipped. Zero regressions.
Skills with scripts/, templates/, and references/ subdirectories need
those files available inside sandboxed execution environments. Previously
the skills directory was missing entirely from remote backends.
Live sync — files stay current as credentials refresh and skills update:
- Docker/Singularity: bind mounts are inherently live (host changes
visible immediately)
- Modal: _sync_files() runs before each command with mtime+size caching,
pushing only changed credential and skill files (~13μs no-op overhead)
- SSH: rsync --safe-links before each command (naturally incremental)
- Daytona: _upload_if_changed() with mtime+size caching before each command
Security — symlink filtering:
- Docker/Singularity: sanitized temp copy when symlinks detected
- Modal/Daytona: iter_skills_files() skips symlinks
- SSH: rsync --safe-links skips symlinks pointing outside source tree
- Temp dir cleanup via atexit + reuse across calls
Non-root user support:
- SSH: detects remote home via echo $HOME, syncs to $HOME/.hermes/
- Daytona: detects sandbox home before sync, uploads to $HOME/.hermes/
- Docker/Modal/Singularity: run as root, /root/.hermes/ is correct
Also:
- credential_files.py: fix name/path key fallback in required_credential_files
- Singularity, SSH, Daytona: gained credential file support
- 14 tests covering symlink filtering, name/path fallback, iter_skills_files
find_one is being deprecated. Primary lookup now uses get() with a
deterministic sandbox name (hermes-{task_id}). A legacy fallback via
list(labels=...) ensures sandboxes created before this migration are
still resumable.
1. cron/jobs.py: respect HERMES_HOME env var for job storage path.
scheduler.py already uses os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", ...) but jobs.py
hardcodes Path.home() / ".hermes", causing path mismatch when
HERMES_HOME is set.
2. gateway/run.py: add Platform.HOMEASSISTANT to default_toolset_map
and platform_config_key. The adapter and hermes-homeassistant
toolset both exist but the mapping dicts omit it, so HomeAssistant
events silently fall back to the Telegram toolset.
3. tools/environments/daytona.py: use time.monotonic() for deadline
instead of float subtraction. All other backends (docker, ssh,
singularity, local) use monotonic clock for timeout tracking.
The accumulator pattern (deadline -= 0.2) drifts because
t.join(0.2) + interrupt checks take longer than 0.2s per iteration.
The Daytona SDK's process.exec(timeout=N) parameter is not enforced —
the server-side timeout never fires and the SDK has no client-side
fallback, causing commands to hang indefinitely.
Fix: wrap commands with timeout N sh -c '...' (coreutils) which
reliably kills the process and returns exit code 124. Added
shlex.quote for proper shell escaping and a secondary deadline (timeout + 10s) that force-stops the sandbox if the shell timeout somehow fails.

state
- Replace logger.warning with warnings.warn for the disk cap so users
actually see it (logger was suppressed by CLI's log level config)
- Use SandboxState enum instead of string literals in
_ensure_sandbox_ready

New execution backend using the Daytona Python SDK. Supports persistent
sandboxes via stop/start lifecycle, interrupt handling, and automatic
retry on transient errors.
