Inside the published Docker image, both the `--tui` banner and the
dashboard-embedded TUI report `1 commit behind — run docker pull
nousresearch/hermes-agent:latest to update` even though the container
has no git repo and no way to compute a commit delta.
Root cause: two independent update-detection paths, only one of which
knows it's running in Docker.
- `recommended_update_command()` → `detect_install_method()` reads the
`.install_method` stamp that `docker/stage2-hook.sh` writes at boot →
returns "docker", so the *command string* correctly says `docker pull`.
- `banner.check_for_updates()` (the source of the "N commits behind"
*count*) has no notion of the docker install method. It only detects a
build via `HERMES_REVISION` (nix-only, unset in the image) or a `.git`
dir (excluded from the image by .dockerignore). Neither matches, so it
silently falls through to `check_via_pypi()`, whose PyPI-version
mismatch flag (1) is then rendered verbatim by the CLI banner
(build_welcome_banner), the Ink TUI badge (branding.tsx), and `hermes
version` as "1 commit behind" — a phantom count, no commit math
involved. `hermes update` already refuses to run in-place in the
container.
The dashboard's REST `/api/hermes/update/check` endpoint already
short-circuits docker (returns behind=None + the docker guidance). This
mirrors that guard inside `check_for_updates()` so the banner/TUI/version
surfaces agree: when `detect_install_method() == "docker"`, return None
before any git/pypi probe (and before writing a cache entry). None makes
the render guards (`typeof === 'number' && > 0`, `behind and behind > 0`)
stay false, so the badge/line disappears entirely — matching the System
page.
Fix is in one place (check_for_updates) because all three consumers route
through it via get_update_result()/_update_result.
Tests: test_check_for_updates_docker_returns_none asserts None + no
git/pypi probe + no cache write; test_check_for_updates_non_docker_still_checks
guards against over-broadening (pip still version-checks). Mutation-tested:
removing the guard fails the docker test.
Verified against a real `docker build` of the image — see PR description.
The desktop OAuth remote-gateway path gated connectivity on
hasOauthSessionCookie(), which checks only the access-token cookie
(hermes_session_at, ~15 min TTL). The moment that cookie's Max-Age
lapsed, Electron's cookie jar dropped it and both resolveRemoteBackend()
and sanitizeDesktopConnectionConfig() reported "not signed in" — forcing
a full IDP re-login every ~15 min — even though a valid 24h refresh-token
cookie (hermes_session_rt) was sitting in the same jar.
The desktop OAuth code (2026-06-04) was written against the obsolete
"contract v1 issues no refresh token" model, two days after #37247
re-introduced server-side transparent refresh: Portal now issues a 24h
rotating, reuse-detected refresh token, and the gateway middleware
(_attempt_refresh) rotates a fresh AT from the RT on the next
authenticated request. So an expired-AT/live-RT session is fully
connectable — the desktop just never let the request through.
Fix:
- connection-config.cjs: add RT_COOKIE_VARIANTS + cookiesHaveLiveSession()
(true when EITHER a live AT or RT cookie is present). Keep
cookiesHaveSession() AT-only for callers that need that specific signal.
- main.cjs: add hasLiveOauthSession(); resolveRemoteBackend()'s oauth
branch now early-outs only when NEITHER cookie is present, otherwise
uses the ws-ticket mint as the authoritative liveness probe (that POST
carries the RT cookie and triggers the server-side AT rotation). A real
401 still surfaces as needsOauthLogin. Settings indicator + oauth-logout
report against the same AT-or-RT notion.
- Remove the stale "contract v1 / NO refresh token" docstrings in
cookies.py and the verify_session comments in the Nous provider that
contradicted #37247.
Tests: +57 lines in connection-config.test.cjs covering the RT-only
"still connectable" case. node --test: 32/32. dashboard-auth +
nous-provider Python suites: 223/223.
Note: server-side files (hermes_cli/dashboard_auth/, plugins/dashboard_auth/)
are comment/docstring-only here, but this touches outside apps/desktop/ so
it needs Teknium review.
Resolve conflicts in desktop settings/cron/messaging/sidebar: adopt main's
ListRow + actions-menu refactors for credential rows; keep our profileColor
import on the sidebar. Drop the now-orphaned Tip-based helpers.
Adds qwen/qwen3.7-plus directly under qwen/qwen3.7-max in both the
OpenRouter curated catalog (OPENROUTER_MODELS) and the Nous portal
catalog (_PROVIDER_MODELS['nous']), then regenerates the docs-hosted
model-catalog.json manifest from those source lists.
Wrap the _tools iteration in _probe_single_server() in try/finally
so that server.shutdown() is called even if iterating tool metadata
raises. Without this, the MCP server connection leaks until the
event loop is torn down by _stop_mcp_loop().
* Revert "fix(gateway): anchor Google Chat OAuth client secret to default Hermes root"
This reverts commit fff0561441.
* Revert "fix(cli): honor global-root active_provider fallback for named profiles"
This reverts commit 3858cf4307.
* docs(google_chat): describe OAuth client secret as profile-scoped, not host-wide
The setup docs, oauth docstring, and the adapter's 'no credentials'
error message all described the Google Chat OAuth client secret as
host-wide shared infrastructure. That contradicts profile isolation:
profiles are separate auth boundaries, so two profiles can point at
different Google OAuth apps / accounts. Reword all three to say the
secret is profile-scoped and each profile registers its own.
The per-session icon picker added more noise than value — rip it out end
to end (sessions.icon column, set_session_icon, the PATCH field, the
picker UI, and the SessionInfo.icon type).
The cross-profile session aggregator now opens each profile's state.db
read-only (mode=ro, no schema init), so listing other profiles on every
sidebar refresh never DDLs or takes a write lock on their live DBs. The
single-profile hot path stays on par with /api/sessions.
Add first-class profile support to the desktop app without app reloads.
- Swap the single live gateway onto a session's profile lazily (spawned on
demand by the Electron backend pool), so one backend serves the active
profile and others stay cold — no OOM with many profiles.
- Aggregate sessions across profiles by reading each profile's state.db
read-only; unified "All profiles" view groups sessions per profile with
per-profile pagination, while the default view stays scoped to one profile.
- Add an Arc-style profile rail at the sidebar foot: a default<->all toggle
pinned left, colored named-profile squares scrolling between, Manage pinned
right. Profile identity is a deterministic per-name color.
- Route profile-scoped REST (config/env/skills/tools/model) to the active
gateway profile and invalidate React Query caches on swap. Single-profile
users never trigger a swap, so their path is unchanged.
Backend:
- web_server: profile-aware active/list endpoints + per-profile session
totals; hermes_state: session_count(exclude_children); main.py: honor
--profile over HERMES_HOME env for pooled backends.
UI primitives:
- Add a position-aware Tip tooltip (instant, themed) as a drop-in for native
title=, and strip redundant tooltips from self-descriptive chrome.
hermes update can brick a Windows install. When 'hermes update --force' runs
past the concurrent-process guard, rebuild_venv runs while the venv is still in
use: shutil.rmtree(ignore_errors=True) deletes site-packages + certifi's cert
bundle but can't remove the locked python.exe, leaving a half-gutted venv that
uv venv then refuses to overwrite. Every later HTTPS call dies with
FileNotFoundError for the missing cacert and there is no recovery.
--clear alone (the c136eb4de retry path) does not fix the real lock case: when
the locked interpreter is *inside* the venv being rebuilt, neither rmtree nor
uv venv --clear can delete it. os.replace of the parent directory *is* allowed
on Windows (a running .exe is tracked by handle, not path), so we move the old
venv aside atomically to <venv>.old, rebuild with --clear in its place, and the
still-running gateway/desktop keep using the moved-aside copy until they
restart. If the venv genuinely can't be moved, we abort cleanly and leave it
fully intact; if the rebuild fails, we restore the moved-aside copy.
Folds in the call-site guards from #38511 (@f3rs3n):
- rebuild_venv() returns False (and restores the backup) if uv exits 0 without
producing an interpreter.
- both hermes update venv-rebuild call sites abort with RuntimeError instead of
continuing into dependency install when rebuild_venv() returns False.
Also gitignore /venv.old/ so the update autostash (git stash --include-untracked)
doesn't sweep the moved-aside venv on every run.
Root-cause fix for #37881. Supersedes the --clear-only retry from c136eb4de.

search_sessions_by_id previously fetched up to 10k sessions via
list_sessions_rich and filtered them in Python — O(n) per keystroke.
Push the id match into SQL instead.
- list_sessions_rich gains an optional id_query param: a case-insensitive
LIKE pushed into the outer WHERE, matched against each surfaced row's id
AND every id in its forward compression chain (via the existing chain
CTE). Searching a compression root id or a tip id both resolve to the
same projected conversation. LIKE wildcards in the needle are escaped.
- search_sessions_by_id now fetches only matching rows (limit*4) and ranks
exact > prefix > substring in Python over that small set.
- web_server /api/sessions/search: route ID matches and content matches
through one lineage-keyed dedup helper so an id-hit and a content-hit on
the same conversation collapse to a single result (the contributor's
version keyed ID hits by raw sid and content hits by root, which could
double-list a compression tip).
- command-center haystack also matches _lineage_root_id for parity.
E2E verified against a real DB: exact match over 3000+ sessions
materializes 1 row in Python (was ~3000), 5ms; root-id resolves to tip;
LIKE-wildcard escaping holds.
Follow-up to @0xharryriddle's feat(desktop): search sessions by id.
The salvaged detector validated each cached electron-*.zip with
zipfile.testzip() and only purged ones it judged corrupt. But stdlib
zipfile reads from the end-of-central-directory backward, so it silently
tolerates prepended/concatenated junk — which is exactly the corruption
the bug report names ('86257938 extra bytes at beginning or within
zipfile', a partial download resumed into the same file). testzip()
returns clean on those zips, so the self-heal never fired for the
reported failure mode.
Drop the self-rolled validator: on any packaged-build failure, purge the
version's cached zips AND the half-written unpacked dir, then retry once.
@electron/get re-downloads with its own SHASUM verification — the real
source of truth, which catches prepend/concat/truncate alike. An
unrelated failure just costs one clean re-download and fails the same way.
Verified empirically: zipfile.testzip() returns None (clean) on a
prepended-junk zip; the unconditional purge removes it correctly.
hermes desktop failed on Linux with an ENOENT renaming
release/linux-unpacked/electron -> Hermes. Root cause is a corrupt
cached Electron zip (~/.cache/electron/electron-*.zip): app-builder
unpack-electron extracts a partial tree from the bad zip that is
missing the electron binary, so electron-builder dies on the final
rename. Re-running repeats the broken extraction, leaving the desktop
app permanently unlaunchable until the cache is manually purged.
- Add _electron_download_cache_dirs() + _purge_corrupt_electron_cache()
to hermes_cli/main.py: validate every electron-*.zip via
zipfile.testzip() and delete corrupt ones; honor electron_config_cache
/ ELECTRON_CACHE overrides with per-OS defaults.
- Wire purge + single retry into cmd_gui packaged-build failure path so
a poisoned download self-heals (electron re-downloads clean).
- Add beforePack hook (apps/desktop/scripts/before-pack.cjs) to wipe the
target unpacked dir before staging, making packaging idempotent across
interrupted runs. Cross-platform, best-effort.
- Tests: corrupt-zip detector, cmd_gui purge/retry/launch path,
no-retry-when-clean path, and node --test for the cleanup helper.
Two complementary fixes for a silent partial-install failure that bit
``hermes update`` in the wild: a fresh checkout pulled 145 commits,
``rebuild_venv`` failed to recreate the venv on Windows because
``shutil.rmtree(ignore_errors=True)`` couldn't delete files held open by
the running ``hermes.exe`` shim. ``uv venv`` then refused with
"A directory already exists at: venv" and the update fell back to
installing on top of the stale venv. The resulting partial install
missed exactly one newly-added base dep — ``pathspec==1.1.1`` — which
``hermes desktop --build-only`` imports at the top of its content-hash
check. The desktop rebuild died with ModuleNotFoundError and the parent
update only logged "⚠ Desktop build failed (non-fatal)". Same root cause
made the "default: sync failed" line in the skill-sync stage, because
that sync subprocess hit the same missing import.
Fix 1: ``rebuild_venv`` retries with ``--clear``
------------------------------------------------
If ``uv venv`` fails with "already exists" in stderr (which is what uv
prints, and what uv's own hint tells you to fix with --clear), retry
once with ``--clear``. Only this specific failure pattern triggers the
retry — disk-full / interpreter-download failures still surface as
before so we don't mask real problems.
Fix 2: post-install dep verification
------------------------------------
Belt-and-suspenders so future uv resolver quirks (or any other cause of
partial installs) surface immediately instead of hours later in a
downstream subprocess. After ``_install_python_dependencies_with_optional_fallback``
runs, ``_verify_core_dependencies_installed``:
1. Reads ``[project.dependencies]`` straight from pyproject.toml
(so we don't trust the venv's stale metadata).
2. Filters by environment markers via ``packaging.requirements.Requirement``
so cross-platform exclusions (``ptyprocess ; sys_platform != 'win32'``)
don't false-positive on Windows.
3. Runs ``importlib.metadata.version()`` for each remaining dep inside
the *target* venv interpreter (resolved from ``VIRTUAL_ENV``, not
``sys.executable``).
4. If anything is missing, reinstalls the base group with
``--reinstall`` to force re-resolution. If a second probe still
reports missing deps, force-installs each one with its pinned spec.
5. Treats final failure as a warning rather than a hard error — a
single broken-on-PyPI dep shouldn't block an otherwise-successful
update — but the message points at ``hermes update --force`` and
names the missing packages so the user knows what's wrong.
Tests
-----
- ``TestRebuildVenv::test_retries_with_clear_when_dir_already_exists`` —
simulates the rmtree-couldn't-delete-it failure mode and asserts the
``--clear`` retry path is taken and succeeds.
- ``TestRebuildVenv::test_does_not_retry_when_first_failure_is_not_dir_exists``
— guards against masking real failures (disk full, etc.).
- ``test_verify_core_dependencies.py`` — 7 tests covering the happy
path, the regression (missing pathspec triggers --reinstall), the
per-package fallback when --reinstall doesn't help, the platform-
marker filter so Windows doesn't try to install ptyprocess, the
missing-pyproject noop, and the VIRTUAL_ENV resolver.

hermes auth add qwen-oauth called pool.add_entry() but never wrote to

where it would become stale.

Use _save_xai_oauth_tokens() — the canonical path already called from the
hermes model xAI login flow — which writes providers["xai-oauth"]["tokens"]
(setting active_provider) and lets _seed_from_singletons seed the pool with
a "loopback_pkce" entry on the next load_pool() call.
Mirrors the fix applied to openai-codex in #37517.

Replace KeepAlive.SuccessfulExit=false dict with <key>KeepAlive</key><true/>
so launchd restarts hermes-gateway on any exit, matching the documented
drain-then-exit restart protocol used by --graceful-restart.
The hermes tools save summary printed '- kanban' (and would print
'+ kanban') for a platform even though kanban is never offered as a
checklist option. kanban is a check_fn-gated toolset whose tools are a
subset of the platform composite, so _get_platform_tools resolves it as
enabled, but _prompt_toolset_checklist only renders CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS
— so it can never survive into the returned selection. The added/removed
diff (current_enabled - new_enabled) then surfaced kanban as removed.
Scope the printed diff to the checklist's actual universe via the new
_checklist_toolset_keys() helper at all three diff sites (first-install,
all-platforms, per-platform). The persisted config is unaffected —
_save_platform_tools already preserves non-configurable entries; this was
purely a false-signal in the UI.
The gated dashboard verifies a session cookie by trying each registered
DashboardAuthProvider's verify_session in turn (the session cookie stores
only the access token, not which provider issued it). A provider that
doesn't recognise a token returns None; a provider whose IDP/JWKS is
unreachable raises ProviderError.
The loop used to return HTTP 503 on the FIRST ProviderError, before any
later provider got a turn. With multiple providers stacked, that means an
unreachable IDP for a session you didn't even use blocks login through a
different, reachable provider.
Concrete repro: a self-hosted-OIDC session hits the 'nous' provider first
(registered earlier); nous tries to reach Nous Portal's JWKS, which is
unreachable in a self-hosted deployment, so it raises — and the gate
503s before the 'self-hosted' provider can verify the token. Hit live
while testing the new self-hosted OIDC plugin against a local Keycloak.
Fix: a ProviderError from one provider is logged and the loop continues
to the next. A 503 is returned only if NO provider verified the token
AND at least one was unreachable — distinguishing a transient IDP outage
(don't force a needless re-login) from a token that's genuinely invalid
(fall through to refresh/relogin). Single-provider behaviour is
unchanged.
Tests: adds an _UnreachableProvider stub and three cases — unreachable
provider first must not block a working second; all-unreachable still
503s; reachable-but-unrecognised falls through to 401/relogin (not 503).
Mutation-tested: reverting the fix makes the first case fail with the
exact 503 bug.
The dashboard's embedded Chat surface (/chat, /api/ws, /api/pty) was gated
behind `hermes dashboard --tui` / HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI=1. The desktop app and
the dashboard's own Chat tab both drive the agent over the /api/ws + /api/pty
WebSockets, so a dashboard started without the flag would pass the /api/status
health check but slam the chat WebSocket shut with WS code 4403 — the app
connects, reports "ready", and chat stays dead. This was the root cause behind
multiple user reports of the desktop app failing to connect to a self-hosted
gateway/dashboard, and it bit Docker and host installs alike.
Make the embedded chat unconditional:
- web_server.py: _DASHBOARD_EMBEDDED_CHAT_ENABLED defaults to True; drop the
embedded_chat parameter and the runtime reassignment from start_server().
The WS gates still read the constant (now always true) so the seam — and its
"rejects when disabled" contract test — stays meaningful.
- main.py: remove the `--tui` argument from the dashboard subparser and the
`embedded_chat = args.tui or HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI==1` derivation.
- web/: isDashboardEmbeddedChatEnabled() returns true unconditionally; drop the
deprecated __HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI__ alias and the dead LEGACY_TUI_RE scrape in
the vite dev-token plugin.
- apps/desktop/electron/main.cjs: drop `--tui` from the spawned dashboardArgs
(it would now error with "unrecognized arguments: --tui") and the redundant
HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI env injection.
- Docker: no s6 run-script change needed — the script never passed --tui; the
HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI env var is now simply a no-op, so the image works out of
the box with no extra var.
- Docs: remove every dashboard --tui / HERMES_DASHBOARD_TUI reference across the
CLI reference, env-var reference, docker/desktop/web-dashboard guides, in-app
tips, and the zh-Hans translations. The terminal `hermes --tui` / HERMES_TUI
references are intentionally left untouched.
Tests: 270 passing across web_server, dashboard lifecycle, host-header,
auth-gate, and docker-override-scripts suites.
Root installs on Linux (FHS layout, #15608) put the `hermes` command in
`/usr/local/bin` (on PATH) but symlinked the bundled node/npm/npx into
`~/.local/bin`, which isn't on PATH for a stock root shell. `node`/`npm`
were 'command not found' and `hermes dashboard` failed with 'npm is not
available' because its build-on-demand fallback couldn't find npm.
Fix: `install_node()` now symlinks into `get_command_link_dir()` — the same
helper the `hermes` command link already uses — so node/npm/npx land
wherever the command does (`/usr/local/bin` on FHS root, `~/.local/bin`
otherwise, `$PREFIX/bin` on Termux). Non-root and Termux installs are
unchanged.
Also fixes:
- `scripts/lib/node-bootstrap.sh`: adds `_nb_get_link_dir()` mirroring
the same root/Termux/user logic for the standalone bootstrap path
(used by `hermes update`, TUI node bootstrap, etc.)
- `hermes_cli/uninstall.py`: `remove_node_symlinks()` now checks all
candidate directories (`~/.local/bin`, `/usr/local/bin`, `$PREFIX/bin`)
so root FHS uninstalls don't leave orphan symlinks
Regression from #15608, which created the FHS path for the command but
left `install_node` pointed at the legacy user-local dir.
When 'hermes update' rebuilds the project venv (rmtree + uv venv on the
first managed-uv migration), the desktop-rebuild and profile-skills-sync
steps that follow both spawn sys.executable. Firing while the venv is
mid-rewrite makes the child interpreter abort with the bare stderr line
'No pyvenv.cfg file', surfacing as a spurious 'Desktop build failed' /
'default: sync failed' on an update that actually succeeded.
Add _wait_for_interpreter_venv_ready(): resolve the venv hosting
sys.executable and poll briefly for pyvenv.cfg to (re)appear before each
of those subprocess steps. No-op when the interpreter isn't venv-hosted.
The desktop rebuild also retries once after re-waiting, and keeps
streaming its output live (no capture). Best-effort throughout — callers
proceed regardless, so a genuinely broken venv still surfaces the real
error.
A bundled, zero-infrastructure 'just put a password on my dashboard'
provider that uses the supports_password extension point. No external IDP,
no database: sessions are stateless HMAC-signed tokens the provider mints
and verifies itself, and passwords are hashed with stdlib scrypt (no
third-party dependency — deliberately avoids bcrypt to keep the dep
surface unchanged).
- plugins/dashboard_auth/basic: BasicAuthProvider (scrypt verify with a
constant-time dummy-hash path for unknown users so the endpoint is not
a username-timing oracle; access/refresh tokens carry a 'kind' claim
that verify/refresh enforce; cross-secret tokens are rejected). The
register() entry point mirrors the Nous plugin's config/env precedence
(env wins; empty treated as unset) and LAST_SKIP_REASON channel.
- config.py: document the canonical dashboard.basic_auth.* surface
(username / password_hash / password / secret / session_ttl_seconds).
Activates only when username + (password or password_hash) are set, so
OAuth users and loopback/--insecure operators are unaffected. Without an
explicit secret a random per-process key is generated (logged): fine for a
single process, but sessions then don't survive restart or span workers.
The dashboard auth gate was OAuth-only: a DashboardAuthProvider could
authenticate only via a redirect to an IDP (start_login -> /auth/callback
-> complete_login). There was no first-class path for username/password
auth, so self-hosters who just want a password on their dashboard had no
clean option short of an external OAuth IDP.
Extend the provider framework with a parallel, non-redirect front door
that converges on the same Session + cookie + refresh machinery:
- base.py: add the optional supports_password flag and
complete_password_login(username, password) -> Session (default
raises NotImplementedError so an OAuth-only provider that forgets the
flag fails loudly). Add InvalidCredentialsError. OAuth providers are
unaffected (flag defaults False; the method is never called).
- routes.py: add POST /auth/password-login, mirroring the cookie-minting
tail of /auth/callback but skipping PKCE/state/code. Returns JSON
{ok, next} (the form POSTs via fetch). Generic 401 for both unknown
user and wrong password (no enumeration oracle); 404 hides whether a
provider exists or supports passwords; per-IP sliding-window rate
limit (10/min -> 429). /api/auth/providers now reports
supports_password so the login page can branch.
- middleware.py: allowlist /auth/password-login (a bootstrap route).
verify/refresh/revoke/ws-tickets/logout need zero changes — a password
session is just a Session with provider-minted opaque tokens.
- login_page.py: render a credential form (instead of a redirect button)
for supports_password providers, wired by a small inline script that
POSTs to /auth/password-login and navigates on success. OAuth-only
pages stay script-free.
* Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#21541: back up corrupted config.yaml
When config.yaml fails to parse, load_config() silently falls back to
DEFAULT_CONFIG and leaves the broken file on disk. If the user then re-runs
the setup wizard or hermes config set (both rewrite config.yaml), their
broken-but-recoverable overrides are lost for good.
Adapts the policy-file recovery from gemini-cli#21541: on the first parse
warning for a given broken file, snapshot it to config.yaml.corrupt.<ts>.bak
(best-effort, symlink-guarded, size-deduped) and tell the user where it
landed. Unlike Gemini's version we deliberately do NOT reset config.yaml to a
clean state — hermes never silently mutates user config, and leaving it means
a hand-fixed file is re-read on the next load.
Tests: 3 new cases (backup created + content preserved + original untouched;
same-size backup dedup; symlink not copied). E2E verified with isolated
HERMES_HOME and a real tab-indented broken config.
* fix(dashboard): explain WHY a chat WS connection was refused
The embedded-chat PTY WebSocket (/api/pty) collapsed every rejection
into a bare close code: 4401 for any auth failure, 4403 for three
unrelated failures (host mismatch, origin mismatch, peer-IP). Neither
the server log nor the browser said which gate fired or why, so a
"chat won't connect" report was undiagnosable without a repro.
Server (web_server.py):
- _ws_auth_reason / _ws_host_origin_reason / _ws_client_reason return a
short machine-parseable reason; old bool wrappers kept for callers/tests.
- pty_ws splits the overloaded 4403 into 4401 (auth), 4403 (host/origin),
4408 (peer not allowed), 4404 (chat disabled), and sends the reason on
the close frame (clamped to the 123-byte RFC6455 limit).
- Each path logs one line: 'pty auth rejected reason=.. mode=.. cred=.. peer=..'
/ 'pty refused: <reason> ..'. Accepted path logs 'pty accepted peer=..
mode=.. cred=..' so an audit shows HOW a peer authed, not just that it did.
tui_gateway/ws.py:
- 'ws send/write failed' now logs error_type=<ExcName> so an exception
whose str() is empty (closed-transport sends) no longer logs 'error='.
web/src/pages/ChatPage.tsx:
- console.warn the real close code + server reason on every close.
- Map 4404/4408 to specific banners; 4401/4403 banners echo the server
reason; [session ended] prints the close code.
E2E verified all five reject paths + accepted path produce matching
close code, wire reason, and server log line.
The register command resolved the portal base URL purely from the stored
login, ignoring any override. That meant `HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL` (and
the absence of any flag) gave no way to point registration at a staging or
preview portal — the request always hit the login's portal, returning 404
against a branch that wasn't deployed there.
- _resolve_portal_base_url now takes an optional override (precedence:
override > stored login portal > prod default).
- New --portal-url flag; falls back to HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL env.
- Documents that the access token must be valid at the overridden portal
(it's minted by whoever you logged into).
- 3 new tests for override precedence.
Verified live against the PR #324 Vercel preview: CLI -> preview endpoint ->
real agent:{id} client_id written to .env.
Adds a CLI command that registers this install as a self-hosted dashboard
with the user's Nous Portal account, automating the manual browser flow on
/local-dashboards.
- New hermes_cli/dashboard_register.py: resolves a fresh Nous access token
from auth.json (fast-fails with a `hermes setup` hint when not logged in),
POSTs to {portal}/api/oauth/self-hosted-client, and writes
HERMES_DASHBOARD_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID into ~/.hermes/.env idempotently.
- Docker-style adjective_noun auto-naming; --name and --redirect-uri overrides.
- Persists HERMES_DASHBOARD_PORTAL_URL only when non-default and unset (so a
Vercel preview / staging portal sticks, prod default stays implicit).
- Refuses in managed/hosted installs (the orchestrator stamps the client_id).
- Post-register hint explains the OAuth gate only engages on a non-loopback bind.
- Nested 'register' subparser leaves bare `hermes dashboard` unchanged.
- 9 unit tests (name gen, fast-fails, POST shape, env writes, redirect URI,
portal-URL persistence, 401/403 mapping); dashboard lifecycle tests still green.
Depends on NousResearch/nous-account-service#324 (the portal endpoint).
`_install_dependencies` (hermes memory setup) hard-aborted with
"uv not found — cannot install dependencies" whenever `uv` was not on
PATH, even when a perfectly good `pip` was available. Slim container
images and some CI environments don't ship uv, so memory-provider
dependency installation dead-ended there for no good reason.
Now: use `uv pip install` when uv is present, otherwise fall back to
`<python> -m pip install` when pip3/pip is available, and only abort
(with the uv install hint) when neither is found. The "Run manually:"
hints reflect whichever installer was selected.
Salvages #5954 by @MustafaKara7. Their patch added redundant local
`import subprocess` / `import sys` (both are already in scope — module
-level `sys`, function-top `subprocess`); this salvage drops those and
adds a regression test (TestInstallDependenciesRunner) covering all
three paths (uv / pip-fallback / abort). Verified adversarially: the
pip-fallback test fails against origin/main's unfixed code with the
exact dead-end symptom and passes with the fix.
Closes#5954.

Both POST /api/model/set and the profile-model writer hand-rolled the same
provider/default/base_url/context_length reconciliation. Extract it into
_apply_main_model_assignment so the custom-vs-hosted base_url logic lives in
one place — removing the future-drift risk where one site learns about
custom base_url persistence and the other forgets.
Behavior unchanged; pinned with a direct helper unit test.
* Port from google-gemini/gemini-cli#21541: back up corrupted config.yaml
When config.yaml fails to parse, load_config() silently falls back to
DEFAULT_CONFIG and leaves the broken file on disk. If the user then re-runs
the setup wizard or hermes config set (both rewrite config.yaml), their
broken-but-recoverable overrides are lost for good.
Adapts the policy-file recovery from gemini-cli#21541: on the first parse
warning for a given broken file, snapshot it to config.yaml.corrupt.<ts>.bak
(best-effort, symlink-guarded, size-deduped) and tell the user where it
landed. Unlike Gemini's version we deliberately do NOT reset config.yaml to a
clean state — hermes never silently mutates user config, and leaving it means
a hand-fixed file is re-read on the next load.
Tests: 3 new cases (backup created + content preserved + original untouched;
same-size backup dedup; symlink not copied). E2E verified with isolated
HERMES_HOME and a real tab-indented broken config.
* feat(dashboard): add Debug Share to the System page
Surface `hermes debug share` in the dashboard. The System > Operations
section gets a dedicated card that uploads a redacted report + full logs
and returns the paste URLs as real, copyable links instead of a log tail.
- debug.py: factor a pure build_debug_share() returning structured
{urls, failures, redacted, auto_delete_seconds}; run_debug_share now
calls it (CLI output unchanged).
- web_server.py: POST /api/ops/debug-share runs the share core in a
worker thread and returns the structured payload synchronously (the
URLs are the whole point — not a backgrounded action).
- api.ts: runDebugShare() + DebugShareResponse.
- SystemPage.tsx: share card with a redaction toggle (on by default),
per-link + copy-all buttons, and the 6h auto-delete countdown.
- tests: build_debug_share core + endpoint (redact toggle, failure 502,
token gate).
Salvage of #35508 (@dchenk), rebased onto current main. Resolved the
tests/tools/test_stage2_hook_puid_pgid.py conflict (kept both the
envdir-creation regression test on main and the new config-migration
tests).
Docker image upgrades replace code under $INSTALL_DIR but preserve
$HERMES_HOME on the mounted volume, so the persisted config.yaml never
received the schema migrations that non-Docker `hermes update` runs
(#35406). This adds scripts/docker_config_migrate.py, invoked from
stage2-hook after first-boot seeding and before gateway services start:
it backs up config.yaml + .env, runs migrate_config(interactive=False),
and honors HERMES_SKIP_CONFIG_MIGRATION=1 for manual control.
Also fixes a latent bug in check_config_version(): it called load_config()
which deep-merges DEFAULT_CONFIG, so a legacy config with no raw
_config_version falsely reported as already-current. It now reads the raw
on-disk file so legacy configs are correctly detected for migration.
Differs from #35508 as submitted (Option B cleanup): dropped the
`_config_version` line added to cli-config.yaml.example and removed the
accompanying test_cli_config_example_declares_latest_version change-detector
test. The example is a copy-template and has no business asserting a schema
version; check_config_version() reads the user's real config.yaml, not the
example. This removes a second sync point that drifts on every version bump.
Closes#35508. Fixes#35406.

`hermes mcp add --auth header` built `Authorization: Bearer ${MCP_X_API_KEY}`
and passed it straight to the discovery probe without interpolation, so the
probe sent the literal placeholder and auth-requiring servers (e.g. n8n)
returned 401. Runtime tool loading worked because `_load_mcp_config()`
interpolates, but the four CLI probe call sites (add/test/login/configure)
all used unresolved config.
Resolve `${ENV}` inside `_probe_single_server` via a new
`_resolve_mcp_server_config()` (load_hermes_dotenv + _interpolate_env_vars),
mirroring runtime loading. This covers all four call sites, not just add.
Also strip a leading `Bearer ` from pasted tokens before saving to
`MCP_*_API_KEY`, so a token pasted with the prefix doesn't produce
`Bearer Bearer <jwt>` (also a 401).
Reported with a precise root-cause analysis in #37792.

The runtime resolver reads model.base_url from config and ignores the
OPENAI_BASE_URL env var, so a self-hosted endpoint could not be configured
from the GUI. Two changes enable it:
- POST /api/model/set accepts an optional base_url and persists it as
model.base_url when provider=custom (still clearing stale base_url for
hosted providers).
- POST /api/providers/validate now returns the model ids a custom endpoint
advertises at /v1/models, so the GUI can auto-pick a default without
asking the user to type a model name.
Refs desktop onboarding "Local / custom endpoint" bug.
The setup-flow provider list showed two Anthropic/Claude entries with
ambiguous labels ('Anthropic (Claude API)' and 'Claude Code (subscription)')
in no deliberate order. Relabel and reorder so the distinction and the
subscription caveat are explicit:
- 'Anthropic API Key' (PKCE, API path)
- 'Anthropic OAuth: Required Extra Usage Credits to Use Subscription' (external)
- Both Anthropic entries moved to the bottom of the list.
- 'OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT)' -> 'OpenAI OAuth (ChatGPT)', now first after Nous.
Applied consistently to the backend OAuth catalog (web_server.py) and the
desktop onboarding overlay's PROVIDER_DISPLAY title/order map; test
assertions updated to the new titles.
The TUI hardcoded --max-old-space-size=8192. V8 is not cgroup-aware, so in a
Docker/k8s container capped below ~9-10GB the heap grows past the container
limit and the cgroup OOM-killer SIGKILLs the Node parent BEFORE V8's own heap
monitor fires. SIGKILL runs no JS handler, writes no [tui-parent] breadcrumb,
and closes the gateway child's stdin — the user sees only a bare gateway
'stdin EOF'. Complements #38224 (trail-text cap), which reduced pressure but
left the 8GB-vs-container mismatch in place.
- _read_cgroup_memory_limit(): read cgroup v2 (memory.max) then v1
(memory.limit_in_bytes); handle 'max', the v1 unlimited sentinel, blank/zero,
and >=1PB as unconstrained.
- _resolve_tui_heap_mb(): unconstrained -> 8192; constrained -> 75% of the
cgroup limit (headroom for non-heap RSS + the Python child sharing the
cgroup), floored at 1536MB, never above 8192.
- NODE_OPTIONS block uses the sized value; still respects a user-supplied
--max-old-space-size.
Net: V8 now GCs/exits gracefully (onCritical breadcrumb fires) instead of being
reaped silently. Display/transport only — no agent context or behavior change.
Tests: tests/hermes_cli/test_tui_heap_sizing.py (20 tests).
The stash/restore cycle in the update path was observed to clobber
freshly-pulled source files (apps/desktop/ deletion -> Vite
'[UNRESOLVED_ENTRY] Cannot resolve entry module index.html'). On a
managed clone the user never edits the source tree, so any 'dirty' state
is pure git artifact (CRLF renormalization, npm lockfile churn, files
left behind when a directory was deleted upstream such as
apps/bootstrap-installer/). Stashing that and re-applying it after a pull
is fragile and unnecessary.
- hermes update (hermes_cli/main.py): on a non-fork (managed) clone,
discard working-tree dirt via reset --hard HEAD + clean -fd instead of
stash/apply. Forks keep the stash machinery so intentional edits
survive. Also pin core.autocrlf=false on Windows so the dirt is never
created (mirrors install.ps1 #38239).
- install.sh: replace the update-path stash/restore dance with a hard
reset to origin/<branch>; the installer is a managed-only entry point.
- install.sh + install.ps1 desktop stage: prefer 'npm ci' (wipes and
reinstalls node_modules from the lockfile) over bare 'npm install',
which can report 'up to date' against a stale marker while node_modules
is empty -- leaving tsc unresolved so 'npm run pack' fails.
Tests: managed clone cleans instead of stashing; fork still stashes;
existing stash tests force the stash path explicitly.
Self-review of #38465 surfaced three real items:
1. SystemExit escape (defense): `_login_nous` raises SystemExit(130)/(1) on
cancel/failure. The logged-out login path inside `_model_flow_nous` catches
it, but the expired-session re-login path (main.py) only catches Exception,
so a Ctrl-C during re-auth could propagate past `_run_portal_one_shot` and
kill the CLI. Add SystemExit to the portal handler so all cancel/abort cases
end with the graceful 'Setup cancelled / retry later' message.
2. Doc sweep: the model-pick step was only added to the bare-`hermes portal`
prose. Propagate it to the surfaces describing `hermes setup --portal`
behavior that still omitted model selection:
- `--portal` argparse help (main.py)
- nous-portal.md intro + the numbered 'what it does' step list (EN + zh-Hans)
- run-hermes-with-nous-portal.md 'default model after setup --portal' line,
which was now contradictory (there's a picker, not a forced default) (EN + zh)
3. Test coverage: add parametrized regression test asserting the portal handler
swallows KeyboardInterrupt / EOFError / SystemExit (returns None, no escape).
Note on 'Skip (keep current)': delegating to _model_flow_nous means picking
Skip preserves the prior provider instead of force-switching to nous — this is
intentional and matches quick setup exactly; docs now say 'sets Nous as your
provider (when you pick a model)' rather than unconditionally.
