By default, once Hermes participates in a Discord thread (auto-created on @mention or replied in once) it auto-responds to every subsequent message in that thread without requiring further @mentions. That's the right default for one-on-one conversations and isolated channel threads. But it's a confirmed footgun in multi-bot threads. When a user invokes one bot per turn — addressing Codex first, then Hermes — every other bot in the thread also fires on every message, burning credits and spamming the channel. Author has hit this personally in active multi-bot research-team threads. Add a new `discord.thread_require_mention` config key (env: `DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION`), default `false` to preserve existing behavior. When `true`, the in-thread mention shortcut is disabled and threads are gated the same way channels are. Explicit @mentions still pass through as expected. Mirrors the existing helper shape (config.extra > env > default) and the existing yaml→env bridge pattern used by `require_mention`. Changes: - gateway/platforms/discord.py: new `_discord_thread_require_mention()` helper; in_bot_thread shortcut now AND's with `not _discord_thread_require_mention()` - gateway/config.py: bridge `discord.thread_require_mention` from config.yaml to `DISCORD_THREAD_REQUIRE_MENTION` env var (mirrors the existing `require_mention` bridge two lines above) - hermes_cli/config.py: add `thread_require_mention: False` default to DEFAULT_CONFIG['discord'] - tests/gateway/test_discord_free_response.py: 4 new tests covering default behaviour (in-thread shortcut still works), enabled behaviour (mention required in threads), enabled+mentioned (mention still passes through), and yaml-via-config.extra path. Also clears DISCORD_* env vars in the `adapter` fixture so process-env state from the contributor's shell doesn't leak into per-test behaviour. - tests/gateway/test_config.py: 2 new tests covering the yaml→env bridge (both the apply-from-yaml and env-precedence-over-yaml paths) - website/docs/user-guide/messaging/discord.md: document the new env var + config key with multi-bot rationale; cross-link from `auto_thread` section Tested on Ubuntu 24.04. |
