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(stt): add register_transcription_provider() plugin hook
Add an opt-in Python plugin surface for speech-to-text backends,
mirroring the TTS hook pattern. New backends (OpenRouter, SenseAudio,
Gemini-STT, custom proprietary engines) can be implemented as plugins
without modifying tools/transcription_tools.py.
Built-ins always win
--------------------
The 6 built-in STT providers (local/faster-whisper, local_command,
groq, openai, mistral, xai) keep their native handlers. Plugins
attempting to register under a built-in name are rejected at
registration time with a warning and re-checked defensively at
dispatch.
Resolution order
----------------
1. stt.provider matches a built-in → built-in dispatch (unchanged)
2. stt.provider matches a registered plugin →
a. if plugin.is_available() returns False → unavailability envelope
identifying the plugin (not the generic "No STT provider"
message — the user explicitly opted into this plugin)
b. otherwise plugin.transcribe() with model + language forwarded
from stt.<provider>.{model,language} config
3. No match → legacy "No STT provider available" error (unchanged)
Per-provider config namespace
-----------------------------
Plugins read their config from stt.<provider> in config.yaml, mirroring
how built-ins read stt.openai.model / stt.mistral.model. The dispatcher
forwards `model` and `language` from this section. Caller's explicit
`model=` argument overrides the config-set model.

no_provider_error → plugin (plugin-installed scenario)
no_provider_error → plugin_unavailable (plugin-installed-unavailable
scenario; PR returns cleaner envelope)
Zero behavior change for users not opting into a plugin.

fix(website): cross-locale doc links + drop empty ko locale (#31895)
The locale switcher appeared broken because hardcoded markdown links (`](/docs/X)`) got double-prefixed by Docusaurus to `/docs/<locale>/docs/X` (404) in non-English locales, and the MDX hero `<a href>` on the index page escaped locale routing entirely. Changes: - Rewrite 922 `](/docs/X)` -> `](/X)` across 166 docs files (strip trailing .md too). Docusaurus prepends locale + baseUrl itself. - docs/index.md -> index.mdx; hero "Get Started" anchor -> Docusaurus <Link> so it stays inside the active locale. - Drop `ko` locale entirely from docusaurus.config.ts + delete i18n/ko/ (4 stale auto-translated kanban pages, <2% coverage, misleading). Verified `npm run build` succeeds for both en and zh-Hans; `build/zh-Hans/ index.html` has no /docs/zh-Hans/docs/... double-prefixed paths. PR2 will translate the 335 English docs into i18n/zh-Hans/. |

feat(tts): add register_tts_provider() plugin hook (closes #30398)
Adds a `TTSProvider(ABC)` + `register_tts_provider()` extension point to the plugin context API, **alongside** the existing config-driven `tts.providers.<name>: type: command` registry from PR #17843. This is additive — the command-provider surface stays as the primary way to add a TTS backend. The hook covers cases the shell-template grammar can't reasonably express: - Native Python SDKs without a CLI (Cartesia, Fish Audio, etc.) - Streaming synthesis (chunked Opus → voice-bubble delivery) - Voice metadata API for the `hermes tools` picker - OAuth-refreshing auth flows None of the 10 inline built-in providers (`edge`, `openai`, `elevenlabs`, `minimax`, `gemini`, `mistral`, `xai`, `piper`, `kittentts`, `neutts`) are migrated to plugins. They stay inline. The hook is for *new* engines that aren't built-in. ## Resolution order The dispatcher's resolution order is the load-bearing invariant: 1. `tts.provider` is a built-in name → built-in dispatch. **Always wins.** 2. `tts.provider` matches `tts.providers.<name>` with `command:` set → command-provider dispatch (PR #17843). 3. `tts.provider` matches a plugin-registered `TTSProvider` → plugin dispatch (new). 4. No match → falls through to Edge TTS default (legacy behavior). Built-ins-always-win is enforced at THREE layers: - Registry: `register_provider()` rejects shadowing names with a warning. - Dispatcher: `_dispatch_to_plugin_provider()` short-circuits built-in names defensively before consulting the registry. - Picker: `_plugin_tts_providers()` filters built-in shadows out of the `hermes tools` row list defensively. Command-providers-win-over-plugins is enforced at TWO layers: - The caller in `text_to_speech_tool` checks `_resolve_command_provider_config` first. - `_dispatch_to_plugin_provider` re-checks for a same-name command config defensively so a refactor of the caller can't silently break the invariant. ## New files - `agent/tts_provider.py` — `TTSProvider(ABC)` with `synthesize()` (required), `list_voices()`, `list_models()`, `get_setup_schema()`, `stream()`, `voice_compatible` (all optional with sane defaults). Mirrors `agent/image_gen_provider.py` shape. - `agent/tts_registry.py` — `register_provider`/`get_provider`/`list_providers` with `_BUILTIN_NAMES` reject-shadowing invariant. Mirrors `agent/image_gen_registry.py` shape. - `plugins/tts/...` directory ready for community plugins (none shipped). ## Modified files - `hermes_cli/plugins.py` — `register_tts_provider()` method on `PluginContext`. Matches the gating shape of `register_image_gen_provider()` / `register_browser_provider()`. - `tools/tts_tool.py` — `_dispatch_to_plugin_provider()` + `_plugin_provider_is_voice_compatible()` + walrus-elif wiring into the main dispatcher. Built-in elif chain untouched. - `hermes_cli/tools_config.py` — `_plugin_tts_providers()` injects plugin rows into the Text-to-Speech picker category alongside the 10 hardcoded built-in rows. ## Tests - `tests/agent/test_tts_registry.py` — 47 tests covering registration, lookup, ABC contract, helpers, AND a `TestBuiltinSync` regression test that fails if `agent.tts_registry._BUILTIN_NAMES` drifts from `tools.tts_tool.BUILTIN_TTS_PROVIDERS` (kept duplicated due to circular import constraints). - `tests/tools/test_tts_plugin_dispatch.py` — 35 tests covering built-in-always-wins, command-wins-over-plugin, plugin dispatch, exception passthrough, voice_compatible helper. - `tests/hermes_cli/test_tts_picker.py` — 10 tests covering the picker surface, builtin shadowing defense, integration with `_visible_providers`. - `tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins_tts_registration.py` — 3 end-to-end tests via `PluginManager.discover_and_load()`. - `tests/plugins/tts/check_parity_vs_main.py` — 9-scenario subprocess parity harness vs `origin/main`. The only intentional diff is `fallback_edge → plugin` for the `plugin-installed` scenario. ## Verification - 95/95 new tests pass. - 170/170 pre-existing TTS tests (test_tts_command_providers, test_tts_max_text_length, test_tts_speed, etc.) pass unchanged. - Parity harness against `origin/main`: 8 OK + 1 expected DIFF. - E2E smoke: a registered plugin's `synthesize()` is called via `text_to_speech_tool` with the standard JSON envelope returned. - Ruff clean on all touched files. ## Docs - `website/docs/user-guide/features/tts.md` — new "Python plugin providers" section with a decision table (command-provider vs plugin), minimal plugin example, and the optional-hook reference. - `website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md` — TTS row updated to mention both surfaces (command-provider primary, plugin for SDK/streaming). Closes #30398 |

fix(plugins): surface category-namespaced plugins in hermes plugins list
`_discover_all_plugins()` in plugins_cmd.py did a flat scan of the bundled and user plugin directories — only direct children with a plugin.yaml were surfaced. Category directories like `observability/`, `image_gen/`, `platforms/`, `model-providers/`, `web/`, and `video_gen/` have no plugin.yaml of their own, so their nested plugins (`observability/langfuse`, `image_gen/openai`, etc.) never appeared in `hermes plugins list` or the interactive `hermes plugins` UI — even though the runtime loader (`PluginManager._scan_directory_level`) discovers them correctly and they do load at runtime. This broke the documented promise that bundled plugins appear in `hermes plugins list` and the interactive UI before being enabled, and made it look like `observability/langfuse` didn't exist. Refactor `_discover_all_plugins()` to mirror the loader's recursion (depth cap = 2, same skip set, user overrides bundled on key collision). Return the path-derived registry key (e.g. `observability/langfuse`) as the displayed name, matching what the user passes to `hermes plugins enable …` / writes under `plugins.enabled` in config.yaml. Also clarify the plugins docs: spell out that sub-category plugins surface by their `<category>/<plugin>` key in `hermes plugins list` / interactive UI, add an `observability/langfuse` example to the command reference, and include a nested entry in the interactive-UI mock.

feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends (#25126)
* feat(video_gen): unified video_generate tool with pluggable provider backends One core video_generate tool, every backend a plugin. Mirrors the image_gen + memory_provider + context_engine architecture: ABC, registry, plugin-context registration hook, and per-plugin model catalogs surfaced through hermes tools. Surface (one schema, every backend): - operation: generate / edit / extend - modalities: text-to-video (prompt only), image-to-video (prompt + image_url), video edit (prompt + video_url), video extend (video_url) - reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model override - Providers ignore unknown kwargs and declare what they support via VideoGenProvider.capabilities() — backend-specific quirks stay in the backend, the agent learns one tool Backends shipped: - plugins/video_gen/xai/ — Grok-Imagine, full generate/edit/extend + image-to-video + reference images (salvaged from PR #10600 by @Jaaneek, reshaped into the plugin interface) - plugins/video_gen/fal/ — Veo 3.1 (t2v + i2v), Kling O3 i2v, Pixverse v6 i2v with model-aware payload building that drops keys a model doesn't declare Wiring: - agent/video_gen_provider.py — VideoGenProvider ABC, normalize_operation, success_response / error_response, save_b64_video / save_bytes_video, $HERMES_HOME/cache/videos/ - agent/video_gen_registry.py — thread-safe register/get/list + get_active_provider() reading video_gen.provider from config.yaml - hermes_cli/plugins.py — PluginContext.register_video_gen_provider() - hermes_cli/tools_config.py — Video Generation category in hermes tools, plugin-only providers list, model picker per plugin, config write to video_gen.{provider,model} - toolsets.py — new video_gen toolset - tests: 31 new tests covering ABC, registry, tool dispatch, both plugins - docs: developer-guide/video-gen-provider-plugin.md (parallel to the image-gen guide), sidebar + toolsets-reference + plugin guides updated Supersedes: #25035 (FAL), #17972 (FAL), #14543 (xAI), #13847 (HappyHorse), #10458 (provider categories), #10786 (xAI media+search bundle), #2984 (FAL duplicate), #19086 (Google Veo standalone — easy port to plugin interface). Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): dynamic schema reflects active backend's capabilities Address the 'capability variance' question — instead of one tool with a static schema that lies about what every backend supports, the video_generate tool now rebuilds its description at get_definitions() time based on the configured video_gen.provider and video_gen.model. The agent sees backend-specific guidance up-front: - 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video': 'image-to-video only — image_url is REQUIRED; text-only prompts will be rejected' - 'fal-ai/veo3.1' (t2v): no image_url restriction shown - xAI grok-imagine-video: 'operations: generate, edit, extend; up to 7 reference_image_urls' - Backends without edit/extend: 'not supported on this backend — surface that they need to switch backends via hermes tools' This is the same pattern PR #22694 used for delegate_task self-capping — documented in the dynamic-tool-schemas skill. Cache invalidation is free: get_tool_definitions() already memoizes on config.yaml mtime, so a mid-session backend swap rebuilds the schema automatically. Tested: - Empirical FAL OpenAPI schema check confirms image-to-video models require image_url (FAL returns HTTP 422 otherwise) — client-side rejection in FALVideoGenProvider.generate() now prevents the wasted round-trip - Live E2E: fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video + prompt-only → clean missing_image_url error; fal-ai/veo3.1 + prompt-only → dispatches - 6 new tests cover the builder (no config / image-only / full-surface / text-only / unknown provider / registry wiring), all passing - 37/37 in the slice, 134/134 in the broader regression set * test(video_gen/xai): full surface integration tests + cleaner schema Verified end-to-end that the xAI plugin handles every documented mode from PR #10600's surface: text-to-video, image-to-video, reference-images-to-video, video edit, video extend (with and without prompt). All five modes route to the correct xAI endpoint (/videos/generations, /videos/edits, /videos/extensions) with the right payload shape (image / reference_images / video keys), and all five client-side rejections fire before the network: edit-without-prompt, extend-without-video_url, image+refs conflict, >7 references, and duration/aspect_ratio clamping. 15 new integration tests grouped into four classes (endpoint routing, modalities, validation, clamping). httpx is stubbed via a small fake AsyncClient that records POSTs so the tests assert the actual payload the plugin would send to xAI — not just the success/error envelope. Also cleaned up a description redundancy: when a model's operations match the backend's overall set, we no longer print the duplicate 'operations supported by this model' line. xAI's description now reads: Active backend: xAI . model: grok-imagine-video - operations supported by this backend: edit, extend, generate - modalities supported by this backend: image, reference_images, text - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, 3:4, 4:3, 9:16 - resolution choices: 480p, 720p - duration range: 1-15s - reference_image_urls: up to 7 images Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen): collapse surface to t2v + i2v, family-based auto-routing Two design changes per Teknium: 1) Drop edit/extend from the tool surface entirely. Only text-to-video and image-to-video remain. The agent sees a clean tool with two modalities; backend-specific quirks like xAI's edit/extend endpoints stay out of the unified schema. 2) FAL: pick a model FAMILY once, the plugin routes between the family's text-to-video and image-to-video endpoints based on whether image_url was passed. Users no longer pick 'fal-ai/veo3.1' AND 'fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video' as separate options — they pick 'veo3.1', and the plugin handles the rest. Catalog rewritten as families: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / fal-ai/pixverse/v6/image-to-video kling-o3-standard fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/text-to-video / fal-ai/kling-video/o3/standard/image-to-video xAI uses a single endpoint (/videos/generations) for both modes, routed by the presence of the 'image' field in the payload — no edit/extend exposure. Schema changes: - VIDEO_GENERATE_SCHEMA: drop operation, drop video_url. Final params: prompt (required), image_url, reference_image_urls, duration, aspect_ratio, resolution, negative_prompt, audio, seed, model. - VideoGenProvider ABC: drop normalize_operation, VALID_OPERATIONS, DEFAULT_OPERATION. capabilities() drops 'operations' key. - success_response: add 'modality' field ('text' | 'image') so the agent and logs can see which endpoint was actually hit. Dynamic schema builder simplified — no operations bullet, no 'switch backends if you need edit/extend' guidance. When the active backend supports both modalities (the common case), description reads: Active backend: FAL . model: pixverse-v6 - supports both text-to-video (omit image_url) and image-to-video (pass image_url) - routes automatically - aspect_ratio choices: 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 - resolution choices: 360p, 540p, 720p, 1080p - duration range: 1-15s - audio: pass audio=true to enable native audio (pricing tier) - negative_prompt: supported Tests: 51 in the video_gen slice, 216 across the broader image+video sweep, all passing. New FAL routing tests prove pixverse-v6 + no image hits text-to-video endpoint, pixverse-v6 + image_url hits image-to-video endpoint, same for veo3.1 and kling-o3-standard. Docs updated: developer-guide page rewrites the 'model families' pattern as a first-class section so external plugin authors know the convention. toolsets-reference and toolsets.py descriptions match the new surface. Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(video_gen/fal): expand catalog to 6 families, cheap + premium tiers Catalog now covers everything Teknium specced from FAL: Cheap tier: ltx-2.3 fal-ai/ltx-2.3-22b/text-to-video / image-to-video pixverse-v6 fal-ai/pixverse/v6/text-to-video / image-to-video Premium tier: veo3.1 fal-ai/veo3.1 / fal-ai/veo3.1/image-to-video seedance-2.0 bytedance/seedance-2.0/text-to-video / image-to-video kling-v3-4k fal-ai/kling-video/v3/4k/text-to-video / image-to-video happy-horse fal-ai/happy-horse/text-to-video / image-to-video DEFAULT_MODEL moved from veo3.1 (premium) to pixverse-v6 (cheap, sane defaults, both modalities) — better first-run UX for users who haven't explicitly picked a model. New family-entry knob: image_param_key. Kling v3 4K's image-to-video endpoint expects start_image_url instead of image_url; declaring image_param_key='start_image_url' on the family lets _build_payload remap correctly. Other families default to plain image_url. Per-family capability flags reflect each model's docs: - LTX 2.3 + Happy Horse: minimal payloads (no duration/aspect/resolution enum exposed by FAL — let endpoint apply defaults) - Seedance: 6 aspect ratios incl 21:9, durations 4-15, audio supported, negative prompts NOT supported per docs - Kling v3 4K: 16:9/9:16/1:1, 3-15s, audio + negative - Veo 3.1: unchanged, 16:9/9:16, 4/6/8s Tests: +5 covering the new families (full catalog, Kling 4K start_image_url remap, Seedance routing, LTX payload minimality, Happy Horse minimality). 56/56 in the slice green. Note: I did NOT add the FAL-hosted xAI Grok-Imagine variant. Hermes already has a direct xAI plugin that talks to xAI's own API; routing the same model through FAL's wrapper would duplicate the surface without adding capabilities. Users on FAL who want Grok-Imagine should use the xAI plugin directly; flag if you want both routes available. * test(video_gen): tool-surface routing matrix — every model x modality End-to-end matrix test driven through _handle_video_generate() — the actual function the agent's video_generate tool call lands in. Writes config.yaml, invokes the registered handler with a raw args dict, then asserts the outbound HTTP/SDK call hit the right endpoint with the right payload shape. Parametrized over FAL_FAMILIES.keys() so the matrix auto-discovers new families as they're added (add a family to FAL_FAMILIES and you get both modalities tested for free). Coverage: - All 6 FAL families x {text-only, text+image} = 12 cases - xAI x {text-only, text+image} = 2 cases - tool-level model= arg overrides config = 2 cases For each case, verifies: - result['success'] is True - result['modality'] matches input shape ('text' if no image_url, 'image' otherwise) - outbound endpoint URL matches the family's text_endpoint or image_endpoint - text-only payloads carry no image-shaped keys - text+image payloads carry the family's image key (image_url for most, start_image_url for kling-v3-4k, wrapped 'image' object for xAI) All 16 cases passing. Confirms the tool surface routes every (provider, model, modality) combination correctly with zero leakage. * feat(video_gen): keep video_gen out of first-run setup, surface in status Two changes: 1. video_gen joins _DEFAULT_OFF_TOOLSETS, so it is NOT pre-selected in the first-run toolset checklist. Video gen is niche, paid, and slow — most users don't want it nagging them during initial setup. Anyone who wants it opts in via 'hermes tools' -> Video Generation, which already routes to the provider+model picker. 2. The 'hermes setup' status panel learns about video_gen — but only shows the row when a plugin reports available. Users without FAL_KEY/XAI_API_KEY see nothing about video gen; users with one of those keys see 'Video Generation (FAL) ✓' as confirmation it's wired. Verified live: - Fresh install (no creds): zero video_gen mentions in wizard. - With FAL_KEY: status row appears with active backend name. - 160/160 in the setup + tools_config + video_gen test slice. Rationale: image_gen is on by default because it's a featured creative tool used in casual chat (telegrams, etc). Video gen is heavier — long wait, paid per-second pricing. Default-off matches user intent better. --------- Co-authored-by: Jaaneek <Jaaneek@users.noreply.github.com> |

feat(plugins): run any LLM call from inside a plugin via ctx.llm (#23194)
* feat(plugins): host-owned LLM access via ctx.llm
Plugins can now ask the host to run a one-shot chat or structured
completion against the user's active model and auth, without ever
seeing an OAuth token or API key. Closes the gap where plugins that
needed bounded structured inference (receipts, CRM extraction,
support classification) had to either bring their own provider keys
or register a tool the agent had to call.
New surface on PluginContext:
- ctx.llm.complete(messages, ...)
- ctx.llm.complete_structured(instructions, input, json_schema, ...)
- async siblings ctx.llm.acomplete / acomplete_structured
Backed by the existing auxiliary_client.call_llm pipeline — every
provider, fallback chain, vision routing, and timeout policy Hermes
already supports applies automatically.
Trust gate (fail-closed by default):
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_model_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allowed_models (allowlist; '*' = any)
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_agent_id_override
- plugins.entries.<id>.llm.allow_profile_override
Embedded model@profile shorthand goes through the same gate as
explicit profile=, so it can't bypass the auth-profile policy.
Conflicting explicit and embedded profiles fail closed.
Also lands:
- plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — reference plugin that registers
/receipt-extract, demonstrating image+text structured input,
jsonschema validation, and the trust-gate config.
- website/docs/developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md — full API docs.
- 45 unit tests covering trust gates, JSON parsing, schema
validation, image encoding, async surface, and config loading.
Validation:
- 2628 tests pass in tests/agent/
- E2E: bundled plugin loaded with isolated HERMES_HOME, slash
command produced parsed JSON via stubbed call_llm
- response_format extra_body wired correctly for both json_object
and json_schema modes
* docs(plugin-llm): rewrite quickstart and framing
The quickstart now uses a meeting-notes-to-tasks example instead of
a receipt extractor, and the page leads with hook-time / gateway
pre-filter / scheduled-job framing rather than the OpenClaw
KB/support/CRM/finance/migration enumeration that the original
upstream PR used. Receipt example moved to a separate worked
example link so the docs page itself doesn't echo any of the
upstream framing.
Also clarifies where ctx.llm fits in the broader plugin surface
(table comparing register_tool / register_platform / register_hook
/ etc.) and what makes this lane different from auxiliary_client
internals.
No code change.
* docs(plugin-llm): reframe as any LLM call, not just structured output
The original draft leaned heavily on complete_structured() and made
the chat lane (complete() / acomplete()) feel like a footnote.
Restructure so:
- The page title and description say 'any LLM call.'
- The lead shows BOTH a plain chat call (error rewriter) AND a
structured call (triage scorer) up top.
- Quick start has two complete plugin examples — /tldr (chat) and
/paste-to-tasks (structured).
- New 'When to use which' table for choosing complete() vs
complete_structured() vs the async siblings.
- Trust-gate sections explicitly note 'all four methods,' and the
request-shaping list calls out chat-only fields (messages) and
structured-only fields (instructions, input, json_schema)
alongside each other.
- The 'Where this fits' section now says 'for any reason,
structured or not.'
The receipt-extractor reference plugin still exists under
plugins/plugin-llm-example/ — but the docs page no longer treats
it as the canonical surface example. It's now described as 'a third
worked example, this time with image input.'
No code change.
* feat(plugin-llm): split provider/model into independent explicit kwargs
The first cut accepted a single 'provider/model' slug on every method
and split it internally. That looked clean but broke under live test:
the model-override path tried to use the slug's vendor prefix as a
literal Hermes provider id, which silently switched the user off
their aggregator (e.g. plugin asks for 'openai/gpt-4o-mini' on a user
who routes through OpenRouter — host attempted to call the 'openai'
provider directly, failed because OPENAI_API_KEY wasn't set).
New shape mirrors the host's main config:
ctx.llm.complete(
messages=[...],
provider='openrouter', # gated, optional
model='openai/gpt-4o-mini', # gated, optional
profile='work', # gated, optional
...
)
Each is independently gated by its own allow_*_override flag.
Granting model-override does NOT auto-grant provider-override.
Allowlists are now per-axis (allowed_providers, allowed_models)
matched literally against whatever string the plugin sends.
Dropped 'model@profile' embedded-suffix shorthand entirely. Hermes
doesn't use that pattern anywhere else; profile= is its own kwarg.
Live E2E (against real OpenRouter via Teknium's config) confirms:
- zero-config call works
- default-deny blocks each override with a helpful error
- model-only override stays on user's active provider (the bug)
- provider+model override switches cleanly
- allowlist refuses non-listed entries
- structured output round-trip parses + schema-validates
Tests: 49 cases (up from 45); all green. Docs updated to match the
new shape, including a 'most plugins never need this section' callout
on the trust-gate config block.
* fix+cleanup(plugin-llm): real attribution, hook-mode coverage, move example out of core
Three integration fixes for the ctx.llm surface:
1. Attribution bug — result.provider and result.model now reflect
what call_llm actually used, not placeholder fallbacks ('auto',
'default'). New _resolve_attribution() helper:
- explicit overrides win (what the call targeted)
- response.model wins for the recorded model (provider
canonicalisation: 'gpt-4o' → 'gpt-4o-2024-08-06' etc.)
- falls back to _read_main_provider() / _read_main_model()
when no override is set, so audit logs reflect the user's
active main provider/model
- 'auto' / 'default' only when EVERYTHING is empty
Live verified: zero-config call now records
provider='openrouter', model='anthropic/claude-4.7-opus-20260416'
instead of provider='auto', model='default'.
2. Hook-mode coverage — TestHookMode confirms ctx.llm.complete
works from inside a registered post_tool_call callback. The
docs page promised hook integration; now there's a test that
exercises the lazy-import path through the real invoke_hook
machinery. Two cases: traceback-rewrite hook with conditional
ctx.llm.complete, and minimal hook regression for the
sync-hook + sync-llm path.
3. Reference plugin moved out of core. plugins/plugin-llm-example/
is gone from hermes-agent — it now lives in the new
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins companion repo. The docs
page links there. Hermes' bundled plugins should be plugins
users actually run; reference / docs-companion plugins live
externally.
Test count: 56 (up from 49). Wider sweep on tests/hermes_cli/
+ tests/gateway/ + tests/tools/ + tests/agent/ shows 16770
passing; the 12 failures are all pre-existing on origin/main
(verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running) —
kanban-boards, delegate-task, gateway-restart, tts-routing —
none touch the plugin_llm surface.
* chore(plugins): move all example plugins to companion repo
Reference / docs-companion plugins now live exclusively in
NousResearch/hermes-example-plugins, not bundled with the core repo:
- example-dashboard
- strike-freedom-cockpit
A new fourth example, plugin-llm-async-example, was added to that
repo demonstrating ctx.llm's async surface (acomplete()) with
asyncio.gather() — registers /translate <lang>: <text> which fires
forward translation + sentiment classifier in parallel, then a
back-translation for QA. Live-tested at 2.5s for three real
provider round-trips (would be ~5-6s sequential).
Docs updated:
- developer-guide/plugin-llm-access.md links both sync and async
examples in the Reference section
- user-guide/features/extending-the-dashboard.md repoints both demo
sections to the companion repo with corrected install paths
- user-guide/features/built-in-plugins.md drops the two demo rows
- AGENTS.md notes that example plugins live in the companion repo
Net: hermes-agent's plugins/ directory now contains only plugins
users actually run (memory providers, dashboard tabs that ship real
features, the disk-cleanup hook, platform adapters). All four
demo / reference plugins live externally where they can be cloned
on demand instead of inflating the core install.

docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift (#22784)
* docs: deep audit — fix stale config keys, missing commands, and registry drift Cross-checked ~80 high-impact docs pages (getting-started, reference, top-level user-guide, user-guide/features) against the live registries: hermes_cli/commands.py COMMAND_REGISTRY (slash commands) hermes_cli/auth.py PROVIDER_REGISTRY (providers) hermes_cli/config.py DEFAULT_CONFIG (config keys) toolsets.py TOOLSETS (toolsets) tools/registry.py get_all_tool_names() (tools) python -m hermes_cli.main <subcmd> --help (CLI args) reference/ - cli-commands.md: drop duplicate hermes fallback row + duplicate section, add stepfun/lmstudio to --provider enum, expand auth/mcp/curator subcommand lists to match --help output (status/logout/spotify, login, archive/prune/ list-archived). - slash-commands.md: add missing /sessions and /reload-skills entries + correct the cross-platform Notes line. - tools-reference.md: drop bogus '68 tools' headline, drop fictional 'browser-cdp toolset' (these tools live in 'browser' and are runtime-gated), add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset sections, fix MCP example to use the real mcp_<server>_<tool> prefix. - toolsets-reference.md: list browser_cdp/browser_dialog inside the 'browser' row, add missing 'kanban' and 'video' toolset rows, drop the stale '38 tools' count for hermes-cli. - profile-commands.md: add missing install/update/info subcommands, document fish completion. - environment-variables.md: dedupe GMI_API_KEY/GMI_BASE_URL rows (kept the one with the correct gmi-serving.com default). - faq.md: Anthropic/Google/OpenAI examples — direct providers exist (not just via OpenRouter), refresh the OpenAI model list. getting-started/ - installation.md: PortableGit (not MinGit) is what the Windows installer fetches; document the 32-bit MinGit fallback. - installation.md / termux.md: installer prefers .[termux-all] then falls back to .[termux]. - nix-setup.md: Python 3.12 (not 3.11), Node.js 22 (not 20); fix invalid 'nix flake update --flake' invocation. - updating.md: 'hermes backup restore --state pre-update' doesn't exist — point at the snapshot/quick-snapshot flow; correct config key 'updates.pre_update_backup' (was 'update.backup'). user-guide/ - configuration.md: api_max_retries default 3 (not 2); display.runtime_footer is the real key (not display.runtime_metadata_footer); checkpoints defaults enabled=false / max_snapshots=20 (not true / 50). - configuring-models.md: 'hermes model list' / 'hermes model set ...' don't exist — hermes model is interactive only. - tui.md: busy_indicator -> tui_status_indicator with values kaomoji|emoji|unicode|ascii (not kawaii|minimal|dots|wings|none). - security.md: SSH backend keys (TERMINAL_SSH_HOST/USER/KEY) live in .env, not config.yaml. - windows-wsl-quickstart.md: there is no 'hermes api' subcommand — the OpenAI-compatible API server runs inside hermes gateway. user-guide/features/ - computer-use.md: approvals.mode (not security.approval_level); fix broken ./browser-use.md link to ./browser.md. - fallback-providers.md: top-level fallback_providers (not model.fallback_providers); the picker is subcommand-based, not modal. - api-server.md: API_SERVER_* are env vars — write to per-profile .env, not 'hermes config set' which targets YAML. - web-search.md: drop web_crawl as a registered tool (it isn't); deep-crawl modes are exposed through web_extract. - kanban.md: failure_limit default is 2, not '~5'. - plugins.md: drop hard-coded '33 providers' count. - honcho.md: fix unclosed quote in echo HONCHO_API_KEY snippet; document that 'hermes honcho' subcommand is gated on memory.provider=honcho; reconcile subcommand list with actual --help output. - memory-providers.md: legacy 'hermes honcho setup' redirect documented. Verified via 'npm run build' — site builds cleanly; broken-link count went from 149 to 146 (no regressions, fixed a few in passing). * docs: round 2 audit fixes + regenerate skill catalogs Follow-up to the previous commit on this branch: Round 2 manual fixes: - quickstart.md: KIMI_CODING_API_KEY mentioned alongside KIMI_API_KEY; voice-mode and ACP install commands rewritten — bare 'pip install ...' doesn't work for curl-installed setups (no pip on PATH, not in repo dir); replaced with 'cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && uv pip install -e ".[voice]"'. ACP already ships in [all] so the curl install includes it. - cli.md / configuration.md: 'auxiliary.compression.model' shown as 'google/gemini-3-flash-preview' (the doc's own claimed default); actual default is empty (= use main model). Reworded as 'leave empty (default) or pin a cheap model'. - built-in-plugins.md: added the bundled 'kanban/dashboard' plugin row that was missing from the table. Regenerated skill catalogs: - ran website/scripts/generate-skill-docs.py to refresh all 163 per-skill pages and both reference catalogs (skills-catalog.md, optional-skills-catalog.md). This adds the entries that were genuinely missing — productivity/teams-meeting-pipeline (bundled), optional/finance/* (entire category — 7 skills: 3-statement-model, comps-analysis, dcf-model, excel-author, lbo-model, merger-model, pptx-author), creative/hyperframes, creative/kanban-video-orchestrator, devops/watchers, productivity/shop-app, research/searxng-search, apple/macos-computer-use — and rewrites every other per-skill page from the current SKILL.md. Most diffs are tiny (one line of refreshed metadata). Validation: - 'npm run build' succeeded. - Broken-link count moved 146 -> 155 — the +9 are zh-Hans translation shells that lag every newly-added skill page (pre-existing pattern). No regressions on any en/ page. |

docs(plugins): close the gaps \u2014 image-gen-provider-plugin guide + publishing a skill tap (#20800)
Two pluggable surfaces were mentioned in the interfaces map without a
real authoring guide behind them:
1. **Image-gen backends** — only had 'See bundled examples' pointers.
Now a full developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin.md (270 lines)
mirroring the memory/context/model provider docs:
- How discovery works, directory structure, plugin.yaml
- ImageGenProvider ABC with every overridable method
(name, display_name, is_available, list_models, default_model,
get_setup_schema, generate)
- Full authoring walkthrough with a working MyBackendImageGenProvider
- Response-format reference (success_response / error_response)
- Handling b64 vs URL output (save_b64_image helper)
- User overrides at ~/.hermes/plugins/image_gen/<name>/
- Testing recipe + pip distribution
- Reference examples (openai, openai-codex, xai)
2. **Skill taps** — features/skills.md mentioned the CLI commands but
never explained the repo contract for publishing a tap. Added
'Publishing a custom skill tap' section under Skills Hub covering:
- Repo layout (skills/<name>/SKILL.md by default)
- Minimal working example
- Non-default path configuration (taps.json)
- Installing individual skills without subscribing
- Trust-level handling
- Full tap management CLI + in-session /skills tap commands
Wired into:
- website/sidebars.ts: image-gen-provider-plugin added to Extending group
- website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md: pluggable interfaces
table + 'What plugins can do' table now link to the real guides
instead of 'See bundled examples'
- website/docs/guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: top info map and
inline sub-sections updated, 'Full guide:' line added to
image-gen block, tap section mentions publishing
Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, new page renders at
/docs/developer-guide/image-gen-provider-plugin, anchor
#publishing-a-custom-skill-tap resolves from plugins.md +
build-a-hermes-plugin.md. Pre-existing zh-Hans broken links unchanged.

docs: pluggable surfaces coverage — model-provider guide, full plugin map, opt-in fix (#20749)
* docs(providers): add model-provider-plugin authoring guide + fix stale refs
New docs:
- website/docs/developer-guide/model-provider-plugin.md — full authoring
guide (directory layout, minimal example, ProviderProfile fields,
overridable hooks, user overrides, api_mode selection, auth types,
testing, pip distribution)
- Wired into website/sidebars.ts under 'Extending'
- Cross-references added in:
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md (tip block)
- developer-guide/adding-providers.md
- developer-guide/provider-runtime.md
User guide:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: Plugin types table grows from 3 to 4
with 'Model providers' row
Stale comment cleanup (providers/*.py → plugins/model-providers/<name>/):
- hermes_cli/main.py:_is_profile_api_key_provider docstring
- hermes_cli/doctor.py:_build_apikey_providers_list docstring
- hermes_cli/auth.py: PROVIDER_REGISTRY + alias auto-extension comments
- hermes_cli/models.py: CANONICAL_PROVIDERS auto-extension comment
AGENTS.md:
- Project-structure tree: added plugins/model-providers/ row
- New section: 'Model-provider plugins' explaining discovery, override
semantics, PluginManager integration, kind auto-coerce heuristic
Verified: docusaurus build succeeds, new page renders, all 3 cross-links
resolve. 347/347 targeted tests pass (tests/providers/,
tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py, tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py,
tests/run_agent/test_provider_parity.py).
* docs(plugins): add 'pluggable interfaces at a glance' maps to plugins.md + build-a-hermes-plugin
Devs landing on either the user-guide plugin page or the build-a-plugin
guide now get an upfront table of every distinct pluggable surface with
a link to the right authoring doc. Previously they'd have to read the
full general-plugin guide to discover that model providers / platforms
/ memory / context engines are separate systems.
user-guide/features/plugins.md:
- New 'Pluggable interfaces — where to go for each' section below the
existing 4-kinds table
- 10 rows covering every register_* surface (tool, hook, slash command,
CLI subcommand, skill, model provider, platform, memory, context
engine, image-gen)
- Explicit note: TTS/STT are NOT plugin-extensible yet — documented
with a pointer to the current config.yaml 'command providers' pattern
and a note that register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() may
come later
guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New :::info 'Not sure which guide you need?' map at the top so devs
see all pluggable interfaces before investing in this 737-line
general-plugin walkthrough
- Existing bottom :::tip expanded to include platform adapters alongside
model/memory/context plugins
Verified:
- All 8 cross-doc links in the new plugins.md table resolve in a
docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
- TTS link corrected (features/voice → features/tts; latter exists)
- Pre-existing broken links/anchors (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist) are unchanged
* docs(plugins): correct TTS/STT pluggability \u2014 they ARE plugins (command-providers)
Previous commit incorrectly said TTS/STT 'aren't plugin-extensible'. They
are, via the config-driven command-provider pattern \u2014 any CLI that reads
text and writes audio (or vice versa for STT) is automatically a plugin
with zero Python. The tts.md docs cover this extensively and I missed it.
plugins.md:
- TTS row: 'Config-driven (not a Python plugin)', points at
tts.md#custom-command-providers
- STT row: points at tts.md#voice-message-transcription-stt (STT docs
live in tts.md despite the filename)
- Expanded note: TTS/STT use config-driven shell-command templates as
their plugin surface (full tts.providers.<name> registry for TTS;
HERMES_LOCAL_STT_COMMAND escape hatch for STT)
- Any CLI that reads/writes files is automatically a plugin \u2014 no Python
register_* API needed
- Future register_tts_provider()/register_stt_provider() hooks mentioned
as nice-to-have for SDK/streaming cases, not as the primary story
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- Same map update: TTS/STT rows explicit, footer note corrected
Verified:
- tts.md anchors (custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
exist and resolve in docusaurus build (SUCCESS, no new broken links)
* docs(plugins): expand pluggable interfaces table with MCP / event hooks / shell hooks / skill taps
Broadened the scope beyond Python register_* hooks. Hermes has MULTIPLE
plugin-style extension surfaces; they're now all in one table instead of
being scattered across feature docs.
Added rows for:
- **MCP servers** — config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> auto-registers external
tools from any MCP server. Huge extensibility surface, previously not
linked from the plugin map.
- **Gateway event hooks** — drop HOOK.yaml + handler.py into
~/.hermes/hooks/<name>/ to fire on gateway:startup, session:*, agent:*,
command:* events. Separate from Python plugin hooks.
- **Shell hooks** — hooks: block in config.yaml runs shell commands on
events (notifications, auditing, etc.).
- **Skill sources (taps)** — hermes skills tap add <repo> to pull in new
skill registries beyond the built-in sources.
Both docs updated:
- user-guide/features/plugins.md: table column renamed to 'How' (mixes
Python API + config-driven + drop-in-dir surfaces accurately)
- guides/build-a-hermes-plugin.md: :::info map at top mirrors the new
surfaces with a forward-link to the consolidated table
Note block rewritten: instead of singling out TTS/STT as the 'different
style' exception, now honestly describes that Hermes deliberately
supports three plugin styles — Python APIs, config-driven commands, and
drop-in manifest directories — and devs should pick the one that fits
their integration.
Not included (considered and rejected):
- Transport layer (register_transport) — internal, not user-facing
- Tool-call parsers — internal, VLLM phase-2 thing
- Cloud browser providers — hardcoded registry, not drop-in yet
- Terminal backends — hardcoded if/elif, not drop-in yet
- Skill sources (the ABC) — hardcoded list, only taps are user-extensible
Verified:
- All 5 new anchors resolve (gateway-event-hooks, shell-hooks, skills-hub,
custom-command-providers, voice-message-transcription-stt)
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): cover every pluggable surface in both the overview and how-to
Both plugins.md and build-a-hermes-plugin.md now cover every extension
surface end-to-end \u2014 general plugin APIs, specialized plugin types,
config-driven surfaces \u2014 with concrete authoring patterns for each.
plugins.md:
- 'What plugins can do' table grows from 9 rows (general ctx.register_*
only) to 14 rows covering register_platform, register_image_gen_provider,
register_context_engine, MemoryProvider subclass, register_provider
(model). Each row links to its full authoring guide.
- New 'Plugin sub-categories' section under Plugin Discovery explains
how plugins/platforms/, plugins/image_gen/, plugins/memory/,
plugins/context_engine/, plugins/model-providers/ are routed to
different loaders \u2014 PluginManager vs the per-category own-loader
systems.
- Explicit mention of user-override semantics at
~/.hermes/plugins/model-providers/ and ~/.hermes/plugins/memory/.
build-a-hermes-plugin.md:
- New '## Specialized plugin types' section (5 sub-sections):
- Model provider plugins \u2014 ProviderProfile + plugin.yaml example,
auto-wiring summary, link to full guide
- Platform plugins \u2014 BasePlatformAdapter + register_platform() skeleton
- Memory provider plugins \u2014 MemoryProvider subclass example
- Context engine plugins \u2014 ContextEngine subclass example
- Image-generation backends \u2014 ImageGenProvider + kind: backend example
- New '## Non-Python extension surfaces' section (5 sub-sections):
- MCP servers \u2014 config.yaml mcp_servers.<name> example
- Gateway event hooks \u2014 HOOK.yaml + handler.py example
- Shell hooks \u2014 hooks: block in config.yaml example
- Skill sources (taps) \u2014 hermes skills tap add example
- TTS / STT command templates \u2014 tts.providers.<name> with type: command
- Distribute via pip / NixOS promoted from ### to ## (they were orphaned
after the reorganization)
Each specialized / non-Python section has a concrete, copy-pasteable
example plus a 'Full guide:' link to the authoritative doc. Devs arriving
at the build-a-hermes-plugin guide now see every extension surface at
their disposal, not just the general tool/hook/slash-command surface.
Verified:
- Docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links
- All new cross-links (developer-guide/model-provider-plugin,
adding-platform-adapters, memory-provider-plugin, context-engine-plugin,
user-guide/features/mcp, skills#skills-hub, hooks#gateway-event-hooks,
hooks#shell-hooks, tts#custom-command-providers,
tts#voice-message-transcription-stt) resolve
- Same 3 pre-existing broken links on main (cron-script-only, llms.txt,
adding-platform-adapters#step-by-step-checklist)
* docs(plugins): fix opt-in inconsistency — not every plugin is gated
The 'Every plugin is disabled by default' statement was wrong. Several
plugin categories intentionally bypass plugins.enabled:
- Bundled platform plugins (IRC, Teams) auto-load so shipped gateway
channels are available out of the box. Activation per channel is via
gateway.platforms.<name>.enabled.
- Bundled backends (plugins/image_gen/*) auto-load so the default
backend 'just works'. Selection via <category>.provider config.
- Memory providers are all discovered; one is active via memory.provider.
- Context engines are all discovered; one is active via context.engine.
- Model providers: all 33 discovered at first get_provider_profile();
user picks via --provider / config.
The plugins.enabled allow-list specifically gates:
- Standalone plugins (general tools/hooks/slash commands)
- User-installed backends
- User-installed platforms (third-party gateway adapters)
- Pip entry-point backends
Which matches the actual code in hermes_cli/plugins.py:737 where the
bundled+backend/platform check bypasses the allow-list.
Rewrote '## Plugins are opt-in' to:
- Retitle to 'Plugins are opt-in (with a few exceptions)'
- Narrow opening claim to 'General plugins and user-installed backends
are disabled by default'
- Added 'What the allow-list does NOT gate' subsection with a full
table of which bypass the gate and how they're activated instead
- Fixed migration section wording (bundled platform/backend plugins
never needed grandfathering)
Verified: docusaurus build SUCCESS, zero new broken links.

docs: default custom tool creation to plugins
Steers custom tool creation toward the plugin route by default.
The adding-tools.md guide is now explicitly for built-in core Hermes
tools only.
Key fixes:
- Plugin quickstart: ctx.register_tool() now uses correct keyword-arg
API (name=, toolset=, schema=, handler=) instead of broken 3-arg call
- Handler signature: (params, **kwargs) instead of (params)
- Handler return: json.dumps({...}) instead of plain string
- AGENTS.md: mentions plugin route before built-in tool instructions
- learning-path.md: plugins listed before core tool development
- contributing.md: separates plugin vs core tool paths

feat(nix): declarative plugin installation for NixOS module (#15953)
* feat(nix): parameterize dependency-groups in python.nix
* refactor(nix): extract package to callPackage-able hermes-agent.nix
Makes the package overridable via .override{} and adds
extraPythonPackages parameter for PYTHONPATH injection.
Includes build-time collision check using PEP 503 name
canonicalization.
* feat(nix): add overlay for external NixOS consumption
External flakes can now add overlays = [ inputs.hermes-agent.overlays.default ]
to get pkgs.hermes-agent with full .override support.
* test(nix): add check for extraPythonPackages PYTHONPATH injection
Verifies wrapper has PYTHONPATH when extras provided, and
base package has no PYTHONPATH without extras.
* feat(nix): add extraPlugins option for directory-based plugins
Symlinks plugin packages into HERMES_HOME/plugins/ at activation time.
Validates plugin.yaml presence. Asserts unique plugin names at eval time.
Hermes discovers them automatically via its directory scan.
* feat(nix): add extraPythonPackages option for entry-point plugins
Overrides the hermes package with PYTHONPATH injection when
extraPythonPackages is non-empty. Plugin .dist-info directories
become visible to importlib.metadata for entry-point discovery.
Works in both native systemd and container modes.
* docs: add NixOS declarative plugin installation to nix-setup, plugins, and build-a-plugin guides
- nix-setup.md: new Plugins section with extraPlugins/extraPythonPackages
examples, overlay usage, collision checking note, options reference rows
- plugins.md: Nix row in discovery table, NixOS declarative plugins section
- build-a-hermes-plugin.md: Distribute for NixOS section after pip section
* fix: address review feedback — remove unrelated umask, fix fetchFromGitHub naming, simplify checks
- Remove accidentally introduced umask/migration changes (unrelated to plugins)
- Add pluginName helper, fix fetchFromGitHub producing name='source'
- Show name= in extraPlugins example docs
- Simplify checks.nix: use hermes-agent.override instead of re-callPackage
- Fix fragile grep shell logic in checks
* refactor: address simplify feedback — lib.getName, drop unused inputs', Python list for extras
- Use lib.getName instead of custom pluginName helper
- Drop unused inputs' from checks.nix perSystem args
- Pass extraPythonPackages as Python list literal instead of colon-split string
* fix: walk propagatedBuildInputs for plugin PYTHONPATH and collision check
Uses python312.pkgs.requiredPythonModules to resolve the full transitive
closure of extraPythonPackages. Without this, a plugin with third-party
deps (e.g. requests) would fail at runtime if those deps weren't already
in the sealed uv2nix venv. The collision check now also scans the full
closure, catching transitive conflicts.
* cleanup: fold plugins into subdir loop, use find for symlink cleanup, inline lib.getName
- Add 'plugins' to the existing cron/sessions/logs/memories subdir loop
instead of a separate mkdir/chown/chmod block
- Replace fragile for-glob with find -delete for stale symlink cleanup
- Inline lib.getName at both call sites, remove pluginName wrapper

docs(plugins): correct pre_gateway_dispatch doc text and add hooks.md section
Follow-up to aeff6dfe:
- Fix semantic error in VALID_HOOKS inline comment ("after core auth" ->
"before auth"). Hook intentionally runs BEFORE auth so plugins can
handle unauthorized senders without triggering the pairing flow.
- Fix wrong class name in the same comment (HermesGateway ->
GatewayRunner, matching gateway/run.py).
- Add a full ### pre_gateway_dispatch section in
website/docs/user-guide/features/hooks.md (matches the pattern of
every other plugin hook: signature, params table, fires-where,
return-value table, use cases, two worked examples) plus a row in
the quick-reference table.
- Add the anchor link on the plugins.md table row so it matches the
other hook entries.
No code behavior change.

feat(plugins): add pre_gateway_dispatch hook
Introduces a new plugin hook `pre_gateway_dispatch` fired once per
incoming MessageEvent in `_handle_message`, after the internal-event
guard but before the auth / pairing chain. Plugins may return a dict
to influence flow:
{"action": "skip", "reason": "..."} -> drop (no reply)
{"action": "rewrite", "text": "..."} -> replace event.text
{"action": "allow"} / None -> normal dispatch
Motivation: gateway-level message-flow patterns that don't fit cleanly
into any single adapter — e.g. listen-only group-chat windows (buffer
ambient messages, collapse on @mention), or human-handover silent
ingest (record messages while an owner handles the chat manually).
Today these require forking core; with this hook they can live in a
single profile-agnostic plugin.
Hook runs BEFORE auth so plugins can handle unauthorized senders
(e.g. customer-service handover ingest) without triggering the
pairing-code flow. Exceptions in plugin callbacks are caught and
logged; the first non-None action dict wins, remaining results are
ignored.
Includes:
- `VALID_HOOKS` entry + inline doc in `hermes_cli/plugins.py`
- Invocation block in `gateway/run.py::_handle_message`
- 5 new tests in `tests/gateway/test_pre_gateway_dispatch.py`
(skip, rewrite, allow, exception safety, internal-event bypass)
- 2 additional tests in `tests/hermes_cli/test_plugins.py`
- Table entry in `website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md`
Made-with: Cursor

feat(plugins): make all plugins opt-in by default
Plugins now require explicit consent to load. Discovery still finds every plugin — user-installed, bundled, and pip — so they all show up in `hermes plugins` and `/plugins`, but the loader only instantiates plugins whose name appears in `plugins.enabled` in config.yaml. This removes the previous ambient-execution risk where a newly-installed or bundled plugin could register hooks, tools, and commands on first run without the user opting in. The three-state model is now explicit: enabled — in plugins.enabled, loads on next session disabled — in plugins.disabled, never loads (wins over enabled) not enabled — discovered but never opted in (default for new installs) `hermes plugins install <repo>` prompts "Enable 'name' now? [y/N]" (defaults to no). New `--enable` / `--no-enable` flags skip the prompt for scripted installs. `hermes plugins enable/disable` manage both lists so a disabled plugin stays explicitly off even if something later adds it to enabled. Config migration (schema v20 → v21): existing user plugins already installed under ~/.hermes/plugins/ (minus anything in plugins.disabled) are auto-grandfathered into plugins.enabled so upgrades don't silently break working setups. Bundled plugins are NOT grandfathered — even existing users have to opt in explicitly. Also: HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS env var removed (redundant with opt-in default), cmd_list now shows bundled + user plugins together with their three-state status, interactive UI tags bundled entries [bundled], docs updated across plugins.md and built-in-plugins.md. Validation: 442 plugin/config tests pass. E2E: fresh install discovers disk-cleanup but does not load it; `hermes plugins enable disk-cleanup` activates hooks; migration grandfathers existing user plugins correctly while leaving bundled plugins off. |

docs(plugins): rename disk-guardian to disk-cleanup + bundled-plugins docs
The original name was cute but non-obvious; disk-cleanup says what it does. Plugin directory, script, state path, log lines, slash command, and test module all renamed. No user-visible state exists yet, so no migration path is needed. New website page "Built-in Plugins" documents the <repo>/plugins/<name>/ source, how discovery interacts with user/project plugins, the HERMES_DISABLE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS escape hatch, disk-cleanup's hook behaviour and deletion rules, and guidance on when a plugin belongs bundled vs. user-installable. Added to the Features → Core sidebar next to the main Plugins page, with a cross-reference from plugins.md. |

docs: document register_command() for plugin slash commands (#10671)
* feat: implement register_command() on plugin context Complete the half-built plugin slash command system. The dispatch code in cli.py and gateway/run.py already called get_plugin_command_handler() but the registration side was never implemented. Changes: - Add register_command() to PluginContext — stores handler, description, and plugin name; normalizes names; rejects conflicts with built-in commands - Add _plugin_commands dict to PluginManager - Add commands_registered tracking on LoadedPlugin - Add get_plugin_command_handler() and get_plugin_commands() module-level convenience functions - Fix commands.py to use actual plugin description in Telegram bot menu (was hardcoded 'Plugin command') - Add plugin commands to SlashCommandCompleter autocomplete - Show command count in /plugins display - 12 new tests covering registration, conflict detection, normalization, handler dispatch, and introspection Closes #10495 * docs: add register_command() to plugin guides - Build a Plugin guide: new 'Register slash commands' section with full API reference, comparison table vs register_cli_command(), sync/async examples, and conflict protection docs - Features/Plugins page: add slash commands to capabilities table and plugin types summary |

feat(plugins): namespaced skill registration for plugin skill bundles
Add ctx.register_skill() API so plugins can ship SKILL.md files under a 'plugin:skill' namespace, preventing name collisions with built-in Hermes skills. skill_view() detects the ':' separator and routes to the plugin registry while bare names continue through the existing flat-tree scan unchanged. Key additions: - agent/skill_utils: parse_qualified_name(), is_valid_namespace() - hermes_cli/plugins: PluginContext.register_skill(), PluginManager skill registry (find/list/remove) - tools/skills_tool: qualified name dispatch in skill_view(), _serve_plugin_skill() with full guards (disabled, platform, injection scan), bundle context banner with sibling listing, stale registry self-heal - Hoisted _INJECTION_PATTERNS to module level (dedup) - Updated skill_view schema description Based on PR #9334 by N0nb0at. Lean P1 salvage — omits autogen shim (P2) for a simpler first merge. Closes #8422 |

docs: update honcho CLI reference + document plugin CLI registration (#5308)
Post PR #5295 docs audit — 4 fixes: 1. cli-commands.md: Update hermes honcho subcommand table with 4 missing commands (peers, enable, disable, sync), --target-profile flag, --all on status, correct mode values (hybrid/context/tools not hybrid/honcho/local), and note that setup redirects to hermes memory setup. 2. build-a-hermes-plugin.md: Replace 'ctx.register_command() — planned but not yet implemented' with the actual implemented ctx.register_cli_command() API. Add full Register CLI commands section with code example. 3. memory-provider-plugin.md: Add 'Adding CLI Commands' section documenting the register_cli(subparser) convention for memory provider plugins, active-provider gating, and directory structure. 4. plugins.md: Add CLI command registration to the capabilities table. |

fix: move pre_llm_call plugin context to user message, preserve prompt cache (#5146)
Plugin context from pre_llm_call hooks was injected into the system prompt, breaking the prompt cache prefix every turn when content changed (typical for memory plugins). Now all plugin context goes into the current turn's user message — the system prompt stays identical across turns, preserving cached tokens. The system prompt is reserved for Hermes internals. Plugins contribute context alongside the user's input. Also adds comprehensive documentation for all 6 plugin hooks: pre_tool_call, post_tool_call, pre_llm_call, post_llm_call, on_session_start, on_session_end — each with full callback signatures, parameter tables, firing conditions, and examples. Supersedes #5138 which identified the same cache-busting bug and proposed an uncached system suffix approach. This fix goes further by removing system prompt injection entirely.

feat(plugins): add enable/disable commands + interactive toggle UI (#3747)
Adds plugin management with three interfaces: hermes plugins # interactive curses checklist (like hermes tools) hermes plugins enable # non-interactive enable hermes plugins disable # non-interactive disable hermes plugins list # table with status column Disabled plugins are stored in config.yaml under plugins.disabled and skipped during discovery. Uses the same curses_checklist component as hermes tools for the interactive UI. Changes: - hermes_cli/plugins.py: _get_disabled_plugins() + skip disabled during discover_and_load() - hermes_cli/plugins_cmd.py: cmd_toggle() interactive UI, cmd_enable(), cmd_disable(), updated cmd_list() with status column - hermes_cli/main.py: enable/disable subparser entries - website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md: updated plugins section - website/docs/user-guide/features/plugins.md: updated managing section |

feat: activate plugin lifecycle hooks (pre/post_llm_call, session start/end) (#3542)
The plugin system defined six lifecycle hooks but only pre_tool_call and
post_tool_call were invoked. This activates the remaining four so that
external plugins (e.g. memory systems) can hook into the conversation
loop without touching core code.
Hook semantics:
- on_session_start: fires once when a new session is created
- pre_llm_call: fires once per turn before the tool-calling loop;
plugins can return {"context": "..."} to inject into the ephemeral
system prompt (not cached, not persisted)
- post_llm_call: fires once per turn after the loop completes, with
user_message and assistant_response for sync/storage
- on_session_end: fires at the end of every run_conversation call
invoke_hook() now returns a list of non-None callback return values,
enabling pre_llm_call context injection while remaining backward
compatible (existing hooks that return None are unaffected).

feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway (#3262)
* feat: config-gated /verbose command for messaging gateway Add gateway_config_gate field to CommandDef, allowing cli_only commands to be conditionally available in the gateway based on a config value. - CommandDef gains gateway_config_gate: str | None — a config dotpath that, when truthy, overrides cli_only for gateway surfaces - /verbose uses gateway_config_gate='display.tool_progress_command' - Default is off (cli_only behavior preserved) - When enabled, /verbose cycles tool_progress mode (off/new/all/verbose) in the gateway, saving to config.yaml — same cycle as the CLI - Gateway helpers (help, telegram menus, slack mapping) dynamically check config to include/exclude config-gated commands - GATEWAY_KNOWN_COMMANDS always includes config-gated commands so the gateway recognizes them and can respond appropriately - Handles YAML 1.1 bool coercion (bare 'off' parses as False) - 8 new tests for the config gate mechanism + gateway handler * docs: document gateway_config_gate and /verbose messaging support - AGENTS.md: add gateway_config_gate to CommandDef fields - slash-commands.md: note /verbose can be enabled for messaging, update Notes - configuration.md: add tool_progress_command to display section + usage note - cli.md: cross-link to config docs for messaging enablement - messaging/index.md: show tool_progress_command in config snippet - plugins.md: add gateway_config_gate to register_command parameter table |

docs: unify hooks documentation — add plugin hooks to hooks page, add session:end event
The hooks page only documented gateway event hooks (HOOK.yaml system). The plugins page listed plugin hooks (pre_tool_call, etc.) that weren't referenced from the hooks page, which was confusing. Changes: - hooks.md: Add overview table showing both hook systems - hooks.md: Add Plugin Hooks section with available hooks, callback signatures, and example - hooks.md: Add missing session:end gateway event (emitted but undocumented) - hooks.md: Mark pre_llm_call, post_llm_call, on_session_start, on_session_end as planned (defined in VALID_HOOKS but not yet invoked) - hooks.md: Update info box to cross-reference plugin hooks - hooks.md: Fix heading hierarchy (gateway content as subsections) - plugins.md: Add cross-reference to hooks page for full details - plugins.md: Mark planned hooks as (planned) |

feat(plugins): add slash command registration for plugins (#2359)
Plugins can now register slash commands via ctx.register_command() in their register() function. Commands automatically appear in: - /help and COMMANDS_BY_CATEGORY (under 'Plugins' category) - Tab autocomplete in CLI - Telegram bot menu - Slack subcommand mapping - Gateway dispatch Handler signature: handler(args: str) -> str | None Async handlers are supported in gateway context. Changes: - commands.py: add register_plugin_command() and rebuild_lookups() - plugins.py: add register_command() to PluginContext, track in PluginManager._plugin_commands and LoadedPlugin.commands_registered - cli.py: dispatch plugin commands in process_command() - gateway/run.py: dispatch plugin commands before skill commands - tests: 5 new tests for registration, help, tracking, handler, gateway - docs: update plugins feature page and build guide |

feat: first-class plugin architecture (#1555)
Plugin system for extending Hermes with custom tools, hooks, and
integrations — no source code changes required.
Core system (hermes_cli/plugins.py):
- Plugin discovery from ~/.hermes/plugins/, .hermes/plugins/, and
pip entry_points (hermes_agent.plugins group)
- PluginContext with register_tool() and register_hook()
- 6 lifecycle hooks: pre/post tool_call, pre/post llm_call,
on_session_start/end
- Namespace package handling for relative imports in plugins
- Graceful error isolation — broken plugins never crash the agent
Integration (model_tools.py):
- Plugin discovery runs after built-in + MCP tools
- Plugin tools bypass toolset filter via get_plugin_tool_names()
- Pre/post tool call hooks fire in handle_function_call()
CLI:
- /plugins command shows loaded plugins, tool counts, status
- Added to COMMANDS dict for autocomplete
Docs:
- Getting started guide (build-a-hermes-plugin.md) — full tutorial
building a calculator plugin step by step
- Reference page (features/plugins.md) — quick overview + tables
- Covers: file structure, schemas, handlers, hooks, data files,
bundled skills, env var gating, pip distribution, common mistakes
Tests: 16 tests covering discovery, loading, hooks, tool visibility.
