fix(docker): seed gateway_state.json from HERMES_GATEWAY_BOOTSTRAP_STATE on first boot (#37896)
On a fresh volume there is no gateway_state.json, so the boot reconciler
(cont-init.d/02-reconcile-profiles) registers the gateway-default s6 slot
but leaves it down — it only auto-starts when the last recorded state was
"running". A freshly-provisioned container therefore comes up with the
gateway down until something starts it (e.g. the dashboard's start button).
Add a generic, first-boot-only env-seed in stage2-hook.sh (which runs
before 02-reconcile-profiles): when HERMES_GATEWAY_BOOTSTRAP_STATE=running
and no gateway_state.json exists yet, seed {"gateway_state":"running"} so
the reconciler brings the supervised slot up on the very first boot.
This mirrors the existing HERMES_AUTH_JSON_BOOTSTRAP pattern: it seeds the
same state file the reconciler already consults, guarded by [ ! -f ] so
persisted runtime state always wins on later boots (a deliberately-stopped
gateway stays stopped across restarts). Only the literal "running" is
honoured (the sole value in the reconciler's _AUTOSTART_STATES).
Generic container contract — no host-specific code. Useful to any
orchestrator that provisions a blank volume and wants the gateway up from
first boot (the supervised gateway/dashboard already work on such hosts;
only the first-boot autostart was missing because the CLI lifecycle
commands can't drive the s6 layer when container self-detection misses).
Adds a shell-level contract test and documents the env var.

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

feat(skills): blank-slate skills — install --no-skills + opt-out/opt-in (#36228)
* feat(install): --no-skills flag for blank-slate default profile Add an install-time --no-skills flag so the default ~/.hermes profile can be created with zero bundled skills, matching what `hermes profile create --no-skills` already does for named profiles. The flag writes $HERMES_HOME/.no-bundled-skills and skips the install-time seed. sync_skills() now honors that marker with an early return (skipped_opt_out=True), so neither the installer, a later `hermes update`, nor a direct sync re-injects bundled skills into a profile that opted out. Previously the marker was only checked by seed_profile_skills() (named profiles); the default profile had no opt-out and `hermes update` would re-seed it every time. Tests: TestNoBundledSkillsOptOut covers marker-present (no-op) and marker-absent (normal seed) paths. * feat(skills): hermes skills opt-out / opt-in for existing profiles Adds an interactive counterpart to the install-time --no-skills flag so an already-installed profile (default or named) can toggle the .no-bundled-skills marker without reinstalling. - `hermes skills opt-out` writes the marker (stop future seeding). Safe by default: nothing on disk is touched. - `hermes skills opt-out --remove` ALSO deletes already-present bundled skills, but ONLY ones that are manifest-tracked AND byte-identical to their origin hash. User-edited bundled skills, hub-installed skills, and hand-written skills are never removed. Previews + confirms before deleting (--yes to skip). - `hermes skills opt-in [--sync]` removes the marker and optionally re-seeds immediately. Core logic lives in tools/skills_sync.py (set_bundled_skills_opt_out, is_bundled_skills_opt_out, remove_pristine_bundled_skills) reusing the existing manifest origin-hash machinery for the safety check. Tests: TestOptOutToggleAndRemove covers marker toggle idempotency and proves user-modified + non-bundled skills survive --remove. * docs: blank-slate skills — install --no-skills + opt-out/opt-in - features/skills.md: new 'Starting with a blank slate' section covering the install flag, profile-create flag, and runtime opt-out/opt-in, with a safe-by-default note. - reference/cli-commands.md: document the new skills opt-out / opt-in subcommands + examples. - reference/profile-commands.md: fix the marker filename (was .no-skills, actually .no-bundled-skills) and cross-link the runtime commands. Validated with a full docusaurus build (exit 0); the three edited pages compile clean with no new warnings. |

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 |

docs(toolsets): clarify all/* wildcard does not enable kanban (#35729)
The all/* wildcard expands to every registered toolset, but a handful of tools have an additional check_fn gate on top of toolset membership and are intentionally NOT turned on by all/* alone: - Capability-gated tools (browser, computer_use, code_execution, Feishu, Home Assistant, cronjob) require their backend/credential prerequisite. - The kanban toolset is workflow-gated and deliberately opt-in. Kanban tools mutate shared board state, so they stay off by default even under all/* — you must list 'kanban' by name (or be a dispatcher-spawned worker with HERMES_KANBAN_TASK set). This was the expectations gap behind #35581 — the docs previously said all/* expands to 'every registered toolset' without noting the carve-out. Closes #35581. |

feat(cli): add hermes prompt-size diagnostic (#35276)
Adds a 'hermes prompt-size' command that reports the fixed prompt budget for a fresh session: system prompt total, skills index, memory, user profile, prompt tiers, and tool-schema JSON bytes. Runs offline (dummy credentials force the direct-construction path, no network call). Lets users see which block dominates their per-call payload — the skills index is often the largest single block when many skills are installed (issue #34667). Zero model-tool footprint: it's a top-level CLI subcommand, not an agent tool. --platform <name> simulates a channel's platform hint; --json emits a machine-readable breakdown. Closes #34667 |

Inspired by Claude Code: /compress here [N] — boundary-aware 'summarize up to here' (#35048)
Adds a user-chosen compression boundary to the existing /compress command. /compress here [N] summarizes everything except the most recent N exchanges (default 2), which are preserved verbatim — letting the user pick the compression boundary instead of relying on the automatic token-budget heuristic. Inspired by Claude Code's Rewind 'Summarize up to here' action (v2.1.139, Week 20, May 2026): https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w20 - hermes_cli/partial_compress.py: pure split/parse helpers + seam-alternation guard (shared by CLI and gateway). - cli.py / gateway/run.py: route 'here [N]' / '--keep N' to partial compression; compress only the head, re-append the verbatim tail through the seam guard. - Preserves message-flow role alternation (seam guard merges any illegal user->user / assistant->assistant adjacency). - Reuses the existing _compress_context session-rotation/lock machinery — no changes to the compression core. - Bare /compress (full) and /compress <focus> behavior unchanged. Tests: 12 helper unit tests + 5 CLI integration tests + E2E (interleaved tool-call transcript, degenerate/multimodal seams, real handler path). |

feat(mcp): support TLS client certificates (mTLS) for HTTP and SSE servers (#33721)
Adds first-class `client_cert` / `client_key` config keys so MCP servers
behind mTLS work without an external TLS-terminating proxy. Resolves
inbound community question (Jeremy W.).
Schema (per `mcp_servers.<name>`, HTTP/SSE only):
- `client_cert: "/path/to/combined.pem"` — single PEM with cert + key
- `client_cert: "/path/to/cert"` + `client_key: "/path/to/key"` — separate
- `client_cert: [cert, key]` or `[cert, key, password]` — list form,
with optional passphrase for encrypted keys
Paths support `~` expansion. Missing files raise a server-scoped
`FileNotFoundError` at connect time rather than failing later with an
opaque TLS handshake error.
Wiring:
- New SDK HTTP path (mcp >= 1.24): `cert=` on the user-owned
`httpx.AsyncClient` alongside the existing `verify=` handling.
- SSE path: routed through an `httpx_client_factory` that wraps the
SDK's defaults (follow_redirects=True) and layers `verify` + `cert`
on top. The factory is only injected when needed, so the SDK's
built-in `create_mcp_http_client` keeps being used in the default
case.
- Deprecated mcp<1.24 path left untouched — that SDK's
`streamablehttp_client` signature doesn't expose `cert`, and adding
it would be dead code.
Also documents the previously-undocumented `ssl_verify` key (bool or
CA bundle path) in the MCP config reference.
Tests:
- `tests/tools/test_mcp_client_cert.py` (new, 19 tests):
- `_resolve_client_cert` helper: all three input forms, `~` expansion,
missing-file and validation errors.
- HTTP transport: `cert=` forwarded into `httpx.AsyncClient` for
string and tuple forms; absent when unset; missing-file error
propagates.
- SSE transport: factory only injected when cert or non-default
verify is set; factory applies cert, custom CA bundle, and
preserves `follow_redirects=True` + forwarded headers/auth.
- Existing tests: 200/200 in `test_mcp_tool.py` + `test_mcp_sse_transport.py`
still pass.

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

docs(auth): replace stale 'hermes login' references with 'hermes auth add'
'hermes login' was removed (the command now just prints a deprecation message and exits). The bundled hermes-agent SKILL.md, in-code error messages, the tip rotation, the proxy adapters, and the docs site still pointed agents and users at the dead command — so models loading the skill kept running 'hermes login --provider openai-codex' and getting a dead-end print. Replacements use the canonical 'hermes auth add <provider>' surface (or bare 'hermes auth' for the interactive manager). Files: - skills/autonomous-ai-agents/hermes-agent/SKILL.md (+ regenerated docs page) - hermes_cli/tips.py (tip rotation) - agent/google_oauth.py (gemini-cli error message) - agent/conversation_loop.py (nous re-auth troubleshooting line) - agent/credential_sources.py (docstring) - hermes_cli/proxy/cli.py + hermes_cli/proxy/adapters/nous_portal.py (proxy auth hints) - tests/hermes_cli/test_proxy.py (updated assertions) - website/docs/reference/faq.md, website/docs/user-guide/features/subscription-proxy.md - zh-Hans i18n mirrors for the above 'hermes logout' is still a live command and is left untouched. The 'hermes login' stub in hermes_cli/auth.py:login_command() and the cli-commands.md 'Deprecated' rows are intentionally kept as the discoverable deprecation surface. |

feat(mcp): Nous-approved MCP catalog with interactive picker (#30870)
* feat(mcp): Nous-approved MCP catalog with interactive picker
Adds an optional-mcps/ directory mirroring optional-skills/: curated,
Nous-approved MCP servers shipped with the repo but disabled by default.
Presence in optional-mcps/ = approval. No community tier, no trust signals.
Entries are added by merging a PR.
New surface:
hermes mcp Interactive catalog picker (default)
hermes mcp catalog Plain-text list, scriptable
hermes mcp install <name> Install a catalog entry
Picker behavior:
not installed -> install (clone/bootstrap if needed, prompt for creds)
installed/off -> enable
installed/on -> menu (disable / uninstall / reinstall)
Manifest schema (manifest_version: 1) supports:
- transport: stdio (command/args, ${INSTALL_DIR} substitution) or http (url)
- install: optional git clone + bootstrap commands (for repos that need
local venv setup, like the n8n bridge); omit for npx/uvx servers
- auth: api_key (prompts -> ~/.hermes/.env), oauth (provider-mediated
or native MCP), or none
Catalog entries are never auto-updated. Users re-run `hermes mcp install`
to refresh. Credentials always go to ~/.hermes/.env (the .env-is-for-secrets
rule), never to per-server env blocks.
Ships n8n as the reference manifest (https://github.com/CyberSamuraiX/hermes-n8n-mcp).
Tests: 19 catalog tests + E2E install/uninstall round-trip via the shipped
manifest.
* feat(mcp): tool-selection checklist + Linear catalog entry
Adds install-time tool selection so users only enable the MCP tools they
actually want, and ships Linear as a second reference catalog entry to
demonstrate the http+oauth path alongside n8n's stdio+api_key+git-bootstrap.
Tool selection flow:
install (clone/auth/credentials) ->
probe server for available tools ->
curses checklist with pre-checked rows ->
write mcp_servers.<name>.tools.include
Pre-check priority:
1. user's prior tools.include (reinstall preserves selection)
2. manifest's tools.default_enabled (curated subset)
3. all probed tools (default)
Probe-failure fallback (server unreachable, OAuth not yet complete,
backing service offline):
- manifest declared default_enabled -> applied directly
- no default declared -> no filter written (all-on when reachable)
- both cases point user at hermes mcp configure <name>
Manifest schema additions:
tools:
default_enabled: [list, of, tool, names] # optional
Updates:
- optional-mcps/linear/manifest.yaml -- new reference entry (http+oauth)
- optional-mcps/n8n/manifest.yaml -- tools.default_enabled set to the
8 read-mostly tools; mutating tools (activate/deactivate, container_logs)
pruned by default
- docs: new 'Tool selection at install time' section in features/mcp.md
Tests: 7 new tests in TestToolSelection covering probe-success / probe-fail
matrix, manifest-default filtering, reinstall-preserves-selection, and
invalid-default-enabled rejection. 26 catalog tests + 32 existing
mcp_config tests passing.
* feat(mcp): polish — picker unification, include-mode convergence, hardening
Addresses review findings on PR #30870. Lands all improvements that
belong in this PR before merge; defers separate cleanup (consolidating
two probe implementations, change-detector tests) to follow-ups.
Picker UX (mcp_picker.py)
- Unifies catalog + custom (user-added) MCPs in one view with distinct
status badges (available / enabled / installed (disabled) /
custom — enabled / custom — disabled)
- Adds 'Configure tools (probe server + re-pick)' action to both the
catalog-installed and custom-row submenus — the existing
hermes mcp configure flow was previously unreachable from the picker
- Loops until ESC/q so the user can manage several entries in one
session instead of having to re-launch
- Uninstall message now mentions .env credentials are preserved with a
pointer to clean them up manually if no longer needed
- Surfaces a 'requires a newer Hermes' warning per future-manifest
entry instead of silently hiding it
Catalog (mcp_catalog.py)
- catalog_diagnostics() exposes which manifests were skipped and why
(future_manifest vs invalid) so UIs can give actionable feedback
- _do_git_install detects SHA-shaped refs (regex /[0-9a-f]{7,40}/)
and skips the doomed 'git clone --branch <sha>' attempt — clone --branch
only accepts branches/tags, so SHAs always failed noisily before
falling back to the full-clone path
- Probe-success all-tools-enabled message now mentions that new tools
the server adds later will be auto-enabled (no-filter mode)
Convergence (tools_config.py)
- _configure_mcp_tools_interactive now writes tools.include (whitelist)
instead of tools.exclude (blacklist), matching the catalog flow and
hermes mcp configure. The on-disk config shape no longer depends on
which UI the user touched last
- Two existing tests updated to assert the new include-mode contract
Discoverability
- Setup wizard final step now prints 'Browse curated MCPs: hermes mcp'
- Three tip-corpus entries pointing at the new catalog
- Docs updated with: trust model (manifests run code locally, gated by
PR review, but read before installing), runtime ${ENV_VAR} substitution
semantics, and the manifest_version forward-compat behavior
Tests
- 7 new tests covering future-manifest diagnostics, custom MCP picker
rows, SHA-ref git-install path, branch-ref git-install path, and the
tools_config include-mode write contract
- 80 MCP-related tests passing across test_mcp_catalog.py,
test_mcp_config.py, test_mcp_tools_config.py
* fix(mcp): drop setup-wizard catalog hint to satisfy supply-chain scanner
The wizard line 'Browse curated MCPs: hermes mcp' triggered the
CI supply-chain scanner because it pattern-matches on edits to any
file named hermes_cli/setup.py — that filename matches the Python
'install-hook file' heuristic even though this setup.py is the
user-facing 'hermes setup' wizard, not a packaging install hook.
The catalog is already surfaced via three tip-corpus entries in
hermes_cli/tips.py (which the scanner doesn't flag), so dropping the
wizard mention loses no discoverability. Worth revisiting after a
scanner allowlist for this specific file lands.

feat(skills): add optional openhands skill — closes #477
Adds an optional autonomous-ai-agents skill that delegates coding tasks to the OpenHands CLI (https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands). Sits alongside claude-code / codex / opencode and is the model-agnostic option in that family — any LiteLLM-supported provider works. This is a ground-truth rewrite of #19325 by @xzessmedia (Tim Koepsel). The original PR's SKILL.md was drafted by the OpenHands agent itself and hallucinated several flags that don't exist in the real CLI (\`--model\`, \`--max-iterations\`, \`--workspace\`, \`--sandbox docker\`), pointed at the wrong PyPI package (\`openhands-ai\`, which is the legacy V0 SDK), and claimed native Windows support that the upstream docs explicitly disclaim. Rather than cherry-pick and rewrite half the lines under contributor authorship, the SKILL.md was rebuilt against a verified install (\`uv tool install openhands --python 3.12\`) and a real end-to-end \`--headless --json\` run against openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini. Authorship credited via the \`author:\` frontmatter field and an AUTHOR_MAP entry in scripts/release.py. Changes: - optional-skills/autonomous-ai-agents/openhands/SKILL.md (new) - website/docs/user-guide/skills/optional/autonomous-ai-agents/autonomous-ai-agents-openhands.md (auto-gen) - website/docs/reference/optional-skills-catalog.md (one new row) - website/sidebars.ts (one new entry under Optional → Autonomous AI Agents) - scripts/release.py (AUTHOR_MAP entry for xzessmedia) Pitfalls documented in the SKILL came from running the tool, not from the upstream README: LiteLLM bedrock/sagemaker stderr noise on every invocation, banner spam (\`OPENHANDS_SUPPRESS_BANNER=1\` required), \`--override-with-envs\` mandatory or the CLI ignores LLM_* env vars entirely, the dashed-vs-undashed Conversation ID footgun for \`--resume\`, LiteLLM model-slug double-prefix when going through OpenRouter. |

feat(skills): add code-wiki skill — closes #486 (#32240)
* feat(skills): add code-wiki skill — closes #486 Bundled skill at skills/software-development/code-wiki/ that generates comprehensive documentation for any codebase: project overview, architecture walkthrough with Mermaid flowchart, per-module deep-dives, class diagram, sequence diagrams, getting-started guide, and (when applicable) API reference. Output defaults to ~/.hermes/wikis/<repo-name>/ (external to repo, like Google CodeWiki); in-repo output supported when user explicitly requests it. Uses only existing Hermes tools (terminal, read_file, search_files, write_file) — no Docker, no external services, no extra dependencies. Works on local repos and GitHub URLs (shallow-clones to a temp dir). Bounded scope defaults (depth 3, cap 10 modules) keep token cost reasonable on large repos. * refactor(skills): move code-wiki to optional-skills Per the 'when in doubt, optional' rule — wiki generation is a 'I want this big thing right now' capability, not daily-driver behavior. Lines up with finance/research/blockchain skills as install-on-demand rather than always loaded. Install via: hermes skills install official/software-development/code-wiki |

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/. |

fix(cli): add inline --yes/now skip for destructive slash commands (#30768)
Issue #30768 reports that on native Windows PowerShell the destructive-slash confirmation modal renders but never registers keypresses, leaving the user unable to confirm or cancel /reset, /new, /clear, or /undo. The modal works on macOS, Linux, and WSL; PR #23907 (merged May 11) replaced the daemon-thread input() pattern with a prompt_toolkit-native keybinding modal but the win32 input pipeline apparently doesn't dispatch keys to the filter-conditioned handlers. The modal investigation is ongoing. This change ships the immediate escape hatch: append `now`, `--yes`, or `-y` to any destructive slash command to bypass the modal and run the action immediately. Works on every platform without touching the broken Windows code path. /reset now -> reset, no modal /new --yes my-session -> new session titled "my-session", no modal /clear -y -> clear, no modal /undo -y -> undo, no modal The default behavior (modal prompts when approvals.destructive_slash_confirm is True) is unchanged for users who don't pass a skip token. Implementation: - New classmethod HermesCLI._split_destructive_skip(text) -> (remainder, skip) parses a destructive-slash command string, strips the leading "/cmd" word and any recognized skip tokens (case-insensitive exact match, not substring), and reports whether a skip was requested. - HermesCLI._confirm_destructive_slash gains an optional cmd_original= arg. When the arg contains a skip token, it returns "once" immediately — before the gate check and before any modal rendering. - The /clear, /new, /undo handlers in process_command pass cmd_original through. /new additionally uses _split_destructive_skip to strip skip tokens from the remaining text before deriving the session title, so "/new now My Session" yields title="My Session" (not "now My Session"). Tests: - 7 new unit tests in tests/cli/test_destructive_slash_confirm.py covering the helper (recognized tokens, command-word stripping, case-insensitive exact match, None/empty input) and the modal bypass (now and --yes both skip; no-skip-token still consults the modal). - 3 new integration tests in tests/cli/test_destructive_slash_inline_skip_e2e.py driving HermesCLI.process_command end-to-end and asserting (a) new_session is invoked, (b) the modal is never reached, (c) the skip token does not leak into the session title, and (d) the no-skip-token path still reaches the modal as a sanity check that we haven't accidentally short-circuited the normal flow. All 31 tests across the destructive-slash test surface pass. Docs: - website/docs/reference/slash-commands.md documents the new flags both in the destructive-commands table and the dedicated approval section, with a link back to issue #30768 explaining why the escape hatch exists. |

feat(security): on-demand supply-chain audit via OSV.dev (#31460)
Adds 'hermes security audit' — a one-shot vulnerability scan against
OSV.dev covering three surfaces a Hermes user actually controls:
1. The running Python's installed PyPI dists (importlib.metadata)
2. Plugin requirements.txt / pyproject.toml pins under ~/.hermes/plugins/
3. Pinned npx/uvx MCP servers in config.yaml
Zero new dependencies (stdlib urllib + importlib.metadata + tomllib +
concurrent.futures). No auth required for OSV's public batch API.

fix(provider): make config.yaml model.provider the single source of truth (#31222)
Policy: if it ain't a secret it goes in config.yaml. HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER was leaking behavioral config into the .env surface, including from the gateway, which bypassed config.yaml entirely. Behavior: - gateway/run.py: drop HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER read in _resolve_runtime_agent_kwargs. Gateway now flows through resolve_runtime_provider() with no `requested` override, which reads model.provider from config.yaml first. Docs/UX (strip env var from user-facing surface): - --provider help text no longer mentions the env var - cli-config.yaml.example same - reference/environment-variables.md: remove HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER row and the cross-reference from HERMES_INFERENCE_MODEL - reference/cli-commands.md: blank the env-var column for --provider - guides/xai-grok-oauth.md, guides/minimax-oauth.md: replace HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER=x hermes invocations with config.yaml / --provider - developer-guide/adding-providers.md, model-provider-plugin.md: reframe Internal mechanism (kept as-is): - hermes_cli/main.py writes HERMES_INFERENCE_PROVIDER into the TUI subprocess env - tui_gateway/server.py reads it on TUI startup - resolve_requested_provider() / oneshot.py / cli.py still fall through to the env var as a last-resort behind config.yaml, which is what makes the TUI parent->child handoff work This stays. We just stop documenting it as a user knob. Tests: tests/gateway/test_auth_fallback.py — simplify mock to fail on first call, succeed on second; drop monkeypatch.setenv lines that no longer matter. Supersedes #31064 (closed with credit to @novax635 who surfaced the underlying issue but proposed aligning gateway *to* the env var rather than removing it). |

ntfy: tighten robustness, dedupe auth/truncation, add docs
Robustness: - Surface 401/404 stream failures via _set_fatal_error() so the gateway's runtime status reflects 'fatal: ntfy_unauthorized' / 'ntfy_topic_not_found' instead of staying 'connected' when the reconnect loop halts. Matches the pattern in whatsapp / telegram / sms adapters. - Strip whitespace from auth tokens so pasted tokens with trailing newlines don't produce malformed Authorization headers. Simplicity: - Extract _build_auth_header() and _truncate_body() to module-level helpers, used by both NtfyAdapter and _standalone_send. Removes the duplicated auth/truncation logic between the two paths. Docs: - website/docs/user-guide/messaging/ntfy.md — full setup guide, identity-model warning, self-hosting, cron usage, troubleshooting. - website/docs/reference/environment-variables.md — all 9 NTFY_* vars. - website/docs/user-guide/messaging/index.md — platform comparison row. - website/sidebars.ts — sidebar entry between simplex and open-webui. Tests: 78/78 (+ 10 new robustness tests covering token hygiene, fatal error propagation for 401/404, and the _truncate_body helper). |

docs: surface 'hermes setup --portal' and 'hermes portal' across user-facing pages (#30869)
PR #30860 added a one-shot Portal setup command and a small portal CLI surface. Update the docs so the new commands are discoverable without upgrading the tone of existing Portal mentions. - getting-started/quickstart.md: small tip near Choose a Provider pointing at 'hermes setup --portal' as the easiest fresh-install path. - user-guide/features/tool-gateway.md: lead the Get-Started section with 'hermes setup --portal' for fresh installs, keep 'hermes model' for already-configured users, and add 'hermes portal status / tools' to the activity-check commands. - user-guide/features/{web-search,image-generation,tts,browser}.md: the existing 'Nous Subscribers' tip blocks now name the one-shot command for new installs, keeping the existing 'hermes tools' path for users who only want to swap a single backend. - reference/cli-commands.md: register 'hermes portal' in the top-level command table, add a 'hermes portal' section with subcommands, and add '--portal' to the 'hermes setup' options table. Tone: each page already had a Portal mention. This PR keeps the per-page count to one and uses concrete CLI commands rather than promotional copy. Tool Gateway page is the one exception (the whole doc is about Portal). |

docs(env): clarify HERMES_ENABLE_PROJECT_PLUGINS contract (#29156)
The reference entry now documents the truthy set (``1`` / ``true`` / ``yes`` / ``on``) explicitly, matches the falsy half (``0`` / ``false`` / ``no`` / ``off`` / empty string) that the GHSA-5qr3-c538-wm9j fix re-aligned both the agent loader and the dashboard web server around, and points readers at the defence-in-depth rule that project plugins never have their Python ``api`` file auto-imported by the dashboard regardless of the env var. |

Follow-up to #29042 (xAI Web Search provider plugin). Adds xAI to the canonical user-facing and developer-facing docs, with the search-only caveat and the LLM-in-a-trench-coat trust model carried over from the class docstring. - user-guide/features/web-search.md - Backends table: new xAI row + extended search-only note - New 'xAI (Grok)' setup section with config knobs and trust-model caution admonition - Single-backend yaml comment now lists 'xai' - Auto-detection table: explicitly note that xAI is NOT auto-detected (XAI_API_KEY is shared with inference/TTS/image-gen so we don't silently take over web for users who only set it for chat) - developer-guide/web-search-provider-plugin.md - Added plugins/web/xai/ to the 'study these next' reference list - reference/environment-variables.md - XAI_API_KEY description now also mentions web search |

docs: comprehensive 2-week sweep of feature/PR coverage gaps (#28497)
Catch the website docs up to two weeks of merged work (May 4 – May 18, 2026, roughly 1,080 PRs). The audit found ~50 user-visible features that had landed in code with no docs footprint, plus a handful of stale pages. This PR closes every gap the scan turned up. New pages - user-guide/features/deliverable-mode.md — extension list, agent triggers, kanban_complete artifacts pattern, [[as_document]] override (PR #27813). - developer-guide/web-search-provider-plugin.md — authoring guide modeled on image-gen-provider-plugin, covering brave_free / ddgs / etc. (PR #25448). Providers / auth - Rename "Alibaba Cloud" → "Qwen Cloud (Alibaba DashScope)" everywhere the display label shows up; provider id stays `alibaba` (PR #24835). - Document OAuth refresh-token quarantine for xAI / MiniMax / Codex (PRs #28116 / #28118 / #28119). - Document Nous JWT minting from refresh token + invalid-refresh quarantine + cross-profile shared token store (PRs #27663 / #19712). - Add `## Microsoft Entra ID authentication (keyless)` section to azure-foundry guide — DefaultAzureCredential, RBAC, OpenAI + Anthropic routing details (PR #28101 / #9df9816da). - Custom providers `api_mode` is now prompted-and-persisted, not just URL autodetected (PR #25068). - Delegation honours `api_mode` + auto-detects anthropic_messages base URLs (PR #26824). - `x_search` auto-enables when xAI credentials are present (PR #27376). - Add `xAI Grok OAuth (SuperGrok)` row to providers headline table (PR #26534). - NVIDIA NIM billing-origin header is set automatically (PR #26585). Windows / installer - `install.ps1`: document `-Commit <sha>` and `-Tag <v>` pin params plus the BOM-strip / git-retry hardening (PR #28169). - Document Hermes Desktop thin installer + first-launch bootstrap (PR #27822). - Document `dep_ensure` Windows bootstrap (PR #27845). - Document install-method auto-detection (pip / git / homebrew / nixos) and the matching update command (PR #27843). Gateway / messaging - `/platform list|pause|resume` full description + circuit-breaker semantics (PR #26600). - Slack / Matrix / Mattermost get parallel `allowed_channels` / `allowed_rooms` allowlist sections matching Telegram/Discord/DingTalk (PR #21251). - Discord `allow_any_attachment` + `max_attachment_bytes` (config and env vars) (PR #27245). - Discord clarify-choice button rendering (PR #25485). - Telegram `guest_mode` @mention bypass for allowlisted groups (PR #22759). - Telegram `notifications` mode (`important` vs `all`) (PR #22793). - `[[as_document]]` skill / response directive for forcing document-style media delivery (PR #21210). CLI / TUI - `/new [name]` argument (PR #19637). - `/subgoal` user-supplied criteria appended to `/goal` (PR #25449). - `/exit --delete` flag confirmation prompts for destructive slash commands (PR #22687). - Status-bar additions: ▶ N background indicator (PR #27175), context compression count (PR #21218), YOLO mode banner+statusbar warning (PR #26238). - `display.timestamps` + `docker_extra_args` config keys (PR #23599). - TUI collapsible startup banner sections (PR #20625). - `HERMES_SESSION_ID` exported to tool subprocesses (PR #23847). i18n - Refresh display.language locale list from 8 → 16 (en, zh, zh-hant, ja, de, es, fr, tr, uk, af, ko, it, ga, pt, ru, hu) — matches `agent/i18n.py:SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES`. Tools / features - `vision_analyze` native-pixel passthrough for vision-capable callers, with auxiliary text-describer fallback (PR #22955). - `session_search` rewrite to the single-shape tool (discovery / scroll / browse modes) (PRs #27590 / #27840). - Clarify MCP transport scope: client supports stdio + SSE; embedded `hermes mcp serve` is stdio-only (PR #21227). - Web search backends table: add Brave Search (free tier) and DDGS rows (PR #21337). - ACP session-scoped edit auto-approval modes (PR #27862). - Curator rename map in the user-visible per-run summary (PR #22910). - Prompt caching feature page reference in features/overview.md — Claude cross-session 1-hour prefix cache on native Anthropic / OpenRouter / Nous Portal (PR #23828). - Cron per-job profile parameter (PR #28124). - `--no-skills` flag for `hermes profile create` (PR #20986). Build - Verified with `npm run build` in `website/`; both `en` and `zh-Hans` locales compile. Remaining broken-link/anchor warnings are pre-existing (`rl-training.md` from learning-path / overview; the zh-Hans translation lag the docs skill already calls out). |

fix(cron): route Telegram cron deliveries to a dedicated topic via TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID
When Telegram topic mode is enabled, cron messages delivered to the bot's root DM (TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL without a thread id) land in the system lobby — replies there are rebuffed with the lobby reminder and reply_to_message_id is dropped, so users cannot interact with the cron output (#24409). Add an optional TELEGRAM_CRON_THREAD_ID env var that overrides TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_THREAD_ID for cron deliveries only. Operators can create a "Cron" forum topic in the DM, point this var at its thread id, and replies to cron messages will land in that topic's existing session instead of the lobby. The home-channel thread id (used elsewhere, e.g. restart notifications) is unchanged, and explicit deliver="telegram:chat:thread" targets continue to win over the env var. Per the reporter's clarification on 2026-05-13, option (a) (cron-side route to a dedicated topic + config knob) was chosen. Fixes #24409 |

feat(kanban): add scheduled status for delayed follow-ups
Salvages #24533 by @roycepersonalassistant. Adds a first-class 'scheduled' Kanban status for time-delay follow-ups that aren't waiting on human input. - hermes kanban schedule <task_id> [reason] CLI command - Dashboard/API transitions to/from Scheduled - unblock_task() now releases both 'blocked' AND 'scheduled' tasks (re-checking parent dependencies before moving to ready/todo) - i18n + docs updates Resolved conflicts: kept HEAD's failure-counter reset on unblock alongside the PR's scheduled state, kept HEAD's 'running' direct-set rejection, combined both bulk-status branches. Dropped the dist/ bundle changes (months-stale; would need rebuild from source). |

feat(skills): add skill bundles — alias /<name> loads multiple skills (#28373)
Skill bundles are tiny YAML files in ~/.hermes/skill-bundles/ that
group several skills under one slash command. Invoking /<bundle-name>
from any surface (CLI, TUI, dashboard, any gateway platform) loads
every referenced skill into a single combined user message.
Use cases:
- /backend-dev → loads github-code-review + test-driven-development
+ github-pr-workflow as one bundle.
- /research → loads several research skills together.
- Team task profiles shared via dotfiles.
Behavior:
- Bundles take precedence over individual skills when slugs collide.
- Missing skills are skipped with a note, not fatal.
- No system-prompt mutation — bundles generate a fresh user message
at invocation time, the same way /<skill> does. Prompt cache stays
intact.
- Works in CLI dispatch, gateway dispatch, autocomplete (CLI + TUI),
/help display.
Schema (~/.hermes/skill-bundles/<slug>.yaml):
name: backend-dev
description: Backend feature work.
skills:
- github-code-review
- test-driven-development
instruction: |
Optional extra guidance prepended to the loaded skills.
New module: agent/skill_bundles.py — load, scan, resolve, build
invocation message, save, delete. yaml.safe_load only; broken
bundles log a warning and are skipped, never raise.
New CLI subcommand: hermes bundles {list,show,create,delete,reload}.
Implementation in hermes_cli/bundles.py; wired in hermes_cli/main.py.
'bundles' added to _BUILTIN_SUBCOMMANDS so plugin discovery skips it.
New in-session slash command: /bundles lists installed bundles in
both CLI and gateway. /<bundle-name> dispatch added to CLI (cli.py)
and gateway (gateway/run.py) before the existing /<skill-name> path.
Autocomplete: SlashCommandCompleter gained an optional
skill_bundles_provider parameter that defaults to None — the prompt
shows '▣ <description> (N skills)' for bundles vs '⚡' for skills.
Tests:
- tests/agent/test_skill_bundles.py — 33 tests covering slugify,
scan/cache freshness, resolve (including underscore→hyphen
Telegram alias), build_bundle_invocation_message (loading, missing
skills, user/bundle instruction injection, dedup), save/delete,
reload diff, list sort.
- tests/hermes_cli/test_bundles.py — 8 tests for the CLI
subcommand (create/list/show/delete/reload, --force, missing
bundle errors).
- tests/gateway/test_bundles_command.py — 4 tests for the gateway
handler and bundle resolution priority.
Live E2E: verified subprocess invocations of hermes bundles
{list,create,show,reload,delete} round-trip correctly against an
isolated HERMES_HOME.
Docs:
- website/docs/user-guide/features/skills.md — new 'Skill Bundles'
section with quick example, YAML schema, management commands,
behavior notes.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md — 'hermes bundles' added to
the top-level command table and given its own subcommand section.

docs: align kanban readiness docs and smoke tests
Salvages #28199 by @bensargotest-sys. Aligns Kanban docs with current tool registration: dispatcher-spawned task workers get task tools, profiles that explicitly enable the kanban toolset get orchestrator routing tools (kanban_list, kanban_unblock). Corrects failure-limit text to current default of 2. Hardens the e2e subprocess script to resolve repo root and use the spawnable default assignee. Updates the diagnostics severity fixture to assert error below the critical threshold. |

feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM (#27590)
* feat(session_search): single-shape tool with discovery, scroll, browse — no LLM
Replaces the LLM-summarized session_search with a single-shape tool that
returns actual messages from the DB. Three calling shapes inferred from
args (no mode parameter):
1. Discovery — pass query. FTS5 + anchored ±5 window + bookends per hit,
all in one call. ~20ms on a real DB instead of ~90s for the previous
three aux-LLM calls.
2. Scroll — pass session_id + around_message_id. Returns a window
centered on the anchor. To paginate, re-anchor on the first/last id
of the returned window. Boundary message appears in both windows
as the orientation marker. ~1ms per scroll call.
3. Browse — no args. Recent sessions chronologically.
Bookend_start (first 3 user+assistant msgs) and bookend_end (last 3) give
the agent goal + resolution on every discovery hit, so a single tool call
reconstructs a long session's arc without loading the whole transcript.
The aux-LLM summary path is gone: it cost ~$0.30/call, took ~30s, and
laundered FTS5 hits through a model that could confabulate when the right
session wasn't in the hit list. The merged shape returns byte-for-byte
content from SQLite.
History:
- PR #20238 (JabberELF) seeded the fast/summary dual-mode split.
- PR #26419 (yoniebans) expanded to fast/guided/summary with bookends,
multi-anchor drill-down, default-mode config, and a teaching skill.
This PR collapses that toolkit into one shape with explicit scroll
support, drops the summary path, drops the mode parameter, drops the
config knob, drops the skill. JabberELF's seed work is acknowledged via
the AUTHOR_MAP entry.
Validation:
- 38/38 tool tests pass (tests/tools/test_session_search.py)
- 12/12 get_messages_around tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- 11/11 get_anchored_view tests pass (tests/hermes_state/)
- Full tests/tools/ run: 5168 passing, 2 failures pre-exist on main
(test ordering in test_delegate.py, unrelated)
- E2E against live state DB: discovery 20ms, scroll 1ms, browse 280ms;
pagination forward+backward works with boundary-message orientation;
error paths return clean tool_error responses

* chore(session_search): prune dead LLM-summary config and docs
Companion to the single-shape rewrite. The auxiliary.session_search config
block, max_concurrency / extra_body tunables, and matching docs sections
all referenced the removed LLM summarization path. Removing them so users
don't try to tune knobs that nothing reads.
- hermes_cli/config.py: drop dead auxiliary.session_search block from
DEFAULT_CONFIG. Leftover keys in user config.yaml are harmless and
ignored.
- hermes_cli/tips.py: drop two tips referencing the removed
max_concurrency / extra_body knobs.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md: drop 'Session Search Tuning'
section and the auxiliary.session_search block from the example.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/fallback-providers.md: drop session_search
rows from the auxiliary-tasks tables and the dedicated tuning subsection.
- website/docs/reference/tools-reference.md: rewrite the session_search
entry to describe the new three-shape behaviour.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: update the file-tree description.
- tests/tools/test_llm_content_none_guard.py: remove TestSessionSearchContentNone
class and test_session_search_tool_guarded — both guard against an
unguarded .content.strip() call site in _summarize_session() that no
longer exists.
Validation: 97/97 targeted tests still pass (hermes_state + session_search +
llm_content_none_guard). Config tests 55/55.

feat(kanban): orchestrator-driven auto-decomposition on triage (#27572)
* feat(kanban): orchestrator-driven auto-decomposition on triage
Closes the core gap in the kanban system: dropping a one-liner into Triage
now decomposes it into a graph of child tasks routed to specialist
profiles by description, matching teknium's original vision ("main
orchestrator splits/creates actual tasks, doles them out to each agent").
The build
---------
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: new `description` + `description_auto` fields
on ProfileInfo, persisted in <profile_dir>/profile.yaml. Helpers
read_profile_meta / write_profile_meta. `create_profile` accepts
optional description.
- hermes_cli/profile_describer.py: new module — auto-generate a 1-2
sentence description from a profile's skills + model + name via the
auxiliary LLM (`auxiliary.profile_describer`).
- hermes_cli/main.py: new `hermes profile create --description ...`
flag; new `hermes profile describe [name] [--text ... | --auto |
--all --auto]` subcommand.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: new `decompose_triage_task` atomic helper —
creates N child tasks, links the root as a child of every leaf
(root waits for the whole graph), flips root `triage -> todo` with
orchestrator assignee, records an audit comment + `decomposed` event
in a single write_txn.
- hermes_cli/kanban_decompose.py: new module — calls the auxiliary LLM
(`auxiliary.kanban_decomposer`) with the profile roster + descriptions
to produce a JSON task graph, then invokes the DB helper. Rewrites
unknown assignees to the configured `kanban.default_assignee` (or
the active default profile) so a task NEVER lands with assignee=None.
Falls back to specify-style single-task promotion when the LLM
returns `fanout: false`.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: new `hermes kanban decompose [task_id | --all]`
CLI verb.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new DEFAULT_CONFIG keys —
kanban.orchestrator_profile, kanban.default_assignee,
kanban.auto_decompose (default True), kanban.auto_decompose_per_tick
(default 3), auxiliary.kanban_decomposer, auxiliary.profile_describer.
- gateway/run.py: kanban dispatcher watcher now runs auto-decompose
before each `_tick_once`, capped by `auto_decompose_per_tick` so a
bulk-load of triage tasks doesn't burst-spend the aux LLM.
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py: new endpoints —
GET /profiles (list roster + descriptions),
PATCH /profiles/<name> (set description, user-authored),
POST /profiles/<name>/describe-auto (LLM-generate),
POST /tasks/<id>/decompose (run decomposer),
GET/PUT /orchestration (orchestrator/default-assignee/auto-decompose
pickers, with resolved fallbacks echoed back).
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: new OrchestrationPanel
collapsible — dropdowns for orchestrator profile and default
assignee, auto-decompose toggle, per-profile description editor with
Save and Auto-generate buttons. New ⚗ Decompose button next to
✨ Specify on triage-column task drawers.
Behavior
--------
- A task in Triage gets fanned out into a small DAG of child tasks.
Children with no internal parents flip to `ready` immediately
(parallel dispatch). Children with sibling parents wait. The root
stays alive as a parent of every child — when the whole graph
finishes, it promotes to `ready` and the orchestrator profile wakes
back up to judge completion (the "adds more tasks until done" part
of the original vision).
- `kanban.orchestrator_profile` unset -> falls back to the default
profile (whichever `hermes` launches with no -p flag).
- `kanban.default_assignee` unset -> same fallback. Tasks NEVER end
up unassigned.
- `kanban.auto_decompose=true` (default) runs the decomposer
automatically on dispatcher ticks; manual `hermes kanban decompose`
is always available.
Tests
-----
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose_db.py — 7 tests for the
atomic DB helper (status transitions, dep graph, audit trail,
validation errors).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose.py — 6 tests for the
decomposer module (fanout, no-fanout fallback, unknown-assignee
rewrite, malformed-JSON resilience, no-aux-client path).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_describer.py — 10 tests for
profile.yaml r/w + the LLM auto-describer (yaml corrupt tolerance,
user-vs-auto description protection, --overwrite, fallback parsing).
E2E
---
- CLI end-to-end: created profiles with descriptions, dropped a triage
task, mocked the aux LLM with a 3-task graph -> verified all three
children were created with the right assignees, the dependency
edges matched the LLM's graph, root flipped to todo gated by every
child, audit comment + `decomposed` event recorded.
- Dashboard end-to-end: started the dashboard against an isolated
HERMES_HOME, verified all four new endpoints via curl (profile
listing, PATCH for description, PUT for orchestration settings,
POST for decompose). Opened the UI in the browser, confirmed the
OrchestrationPanel renders with all three pickers + the per-profile
description editor, typed a description, clicked Save, verified
~/.hermes/profile.yaml was written. Clicked Decompose on the triage
card and confirmed the inline error message surfaced as designed
("no auxiliary client configured").
* feat(kanban): surface decompose mode (Auto/Manual) as a one-click pill
The auto/manual toggle already existed as kanban.auto_decompose (default
true), but it was buried inside the collapsed Orchestration settings
panel — users couldn't tell at a glance which mode they were in. This
hoists it to a pill at the top of the kanban page so the state is always
visible and one click flips it.
UX
- New "⚗ Decompose: AUTO|MANUAL" pill in the kanban header. Emerald
styling when Auto is on (the default), muted/gray when Manual.
- Pill is visible both in the collapsed AND expanded Orchestration
settings views so context is preserved when the user opens the panel.
- Tooltip explains both states + what clicking does.
- Renamed the in-panel "Auto-decompose on triage / Enabled" checkbox
to "Decompose mode / Auto (default) | Manual" for language parity
with the pill.
Behavior preserved
- Default remains Auto (kanban.auto_decompose=true).
- Manual mode restores pre-PR behavior: triage tasks stay in triage
until the user clicks ⚗ Decompose on each card (or runs
`hermes kanban decompose <id>`).
Implementation
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: load /orchestration on mount
(not just on expand) so the collapsed pill reflects real state.
Render mode pill in both collapsed and expanded headers. Reuses the
existing PUT /api/plugins/kanban/orchestration endpoint — no new
backend, no new tests required.
E2E verified
- Pill renders as "⚗ Decompose: AUTO" on page load (default).
- One click flips to "⚗ Decompose: MANUAL" with muted styling.
- config.yaml on disk shows auto_decompose: false after the flip.
- Second click round-trips back to Auto; config.yaml flips to true.
* feat(kanban): rename mode pill to "Orchestration: Auto/Manual"
Per Teknium feedback — "Decompose" was too implementation-specific.
"Orchestration" is the user-facing concept (the whole pitch is the
orchestrator profile routing work), and the pill is the front door to it.
- Pill text: "Orchestration: Auto" / "Orchestration: Manual" (title case,
no ⚗ prefix, no SHOUTY-CAPS for the mode value)
- In-panel checkbox label: "Orchestration mode" (was "Decompose mode")
- Tooltips updated to match
- No behavior change
* docs(kanban): document decompose, profile descriptions, orchestration mode
Brings the docs site up to parity with the PR. English build verified
locally (npx docusaurus build --locale en) — clean, no new broken links
or anchors. Pre-existing broken-link warnings (rl-training, llms.txt,
step-by-step-checklist, fallback-model) untouched.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md
+ `hermes kanban decompose` action row in the action table, with
pointer to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md
+ `--description "<text>"` flag on `hermes profile create`.
+ Full `hermes profile describe` section: read, --text, --auto,
--overwrite, --all flags with examples.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md (the big one)
+ Triage column intro rewritten around the Auto-decompose default
behavior, with pointer to the new Auto vs Manual section.
+ Status action row updated to mention both ⚗ Decompose and
✨ Specify on triage cards.
+ New "Auto vs Manual orchestration" section explaining the two
modes, how to flip them (pill, config), how routing-by-description
works, the no-None-assignee guarantee, plus a config knob table
(auto_decompose, auto_decompose_per_tick, orchestrator_profile,
default_assignee) and the two new auxiliary slots
(kanban_decomposer, profile_describer).
+ REST surface table gains 6 new endpoint rows: /tasks/:id/decompose,
/profiles (GET), /profiles/:name (PATCH), /profiles/:name/describe-auto,
/orchestration (GET + PUT).
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-tutorial.md
+ Triage column blurb updated for Auto by default + Manual via the
pill, with cross-link to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md
+ Blank-profile flow now mentions --description and points to the
kanban routing model for context.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md
+ `kanban_decomposer` and `profile_describer` added to the
`hermes model -> Configure auxiliary models` menu listing.
