The guard it covered was removed in the previous commit (fragments no
longer reach input-event — they reassemble at the tokenizer). Reassembly
is now covered by termio/tokenize.test.ts and the flush-boundary cases in
parse-keypress.test.ts.
Root-cause fix for the SGR mouse fragment leak (`46M35;40M...` typed into
the prompt). The leak was never really about the fragments — it was the
flush emitting them. When App's 50ms watchdog fires mid-CSI during a render
stall, the tokenizer was force-emitting the buffered partial as a token and
resetting to ground, so both the prefix and the ESC-less remainder surfaced
as unparseable input.
Make the flush state-aware (xterm.js discipline): a bare ESC still flushes
to the Escape key (the legitimate ESCDELAY case), but a buffer still inside
a multi-byte control sequence (csi/osc/dcs/apc/ss3/intermediate) is NOT
emitted — it's kept so the continuation reassembles on the next feed. A
one-tick truncation valve in createTokenizer.flush() drops a partial that
survives a second flush with no progress, so a genuinely truncated write
can't fuse into the next keypress.
With partials never entering the input stream, the downstream scrubber is
dead code: remove the SGR fragment guard from input-event.ts (both the
original `/^\[<\d+;\d+;\d+[Mm]/` and the consolidated form added earlier in
this PR). The parse-keypress burst-recovery regexes (MOUSE_BURST_*) are now
also redundant but left in place as a safety net for one release; they can
be removed in a follow-up once this soaks.
Tests: tokenize.test.ts proves a mid-CSI flush keeps/reassembles and that a
stale partial is dropped after a second flush and a bare ESC still emits;
parse-keypress.test.ts adds the end-to-end split-then-reassemble case
yielding a single clean mouse event with no leaked key.
Supersedes #29337.
When App's 50ms flush watchdog fires mid-CSI during a render stall, an
SGR mouse report (ESC[<btn;col;row M/m) is split across stdin chunks: the
tokenizer force-emits the buffered prefix and resets to ground, so both
the prefix and the ESC-less remainder reach InputEvent as nameless tokens.
The previous guard only matched a full `[<\d+;\d+;\d+[Mm]` fragment, so
the flushed prefixes (`ESC[<0;35;`) and the 1-/2-field and leading-`;`
tails (`46M`, `35;46M`, `;46M`) still leaked into the composer as
`46M35;40M...` during long sessions.
Replace the three would-be narrow regexes with one consolidated rule that
covers every split position. A `(?=...\d)` lookahead keeps typed `<`, `[`,
`;`, and `M` safe (no coordinate digit), and the embedded M/m terminator
in the param class leaves stuck-together fragments / prose intact. The
existing `!keypress.name` gate continues to protect real keystrokes, which
arrive one char per chunk with a name set.
Supersedes #29337 (covers the prefix-leak and leading-`;`/1-/2-field tail
cases that PR's two added guards missed).
The HERMES_AGENT_HELP_GUIDANCE block (added #16535) only fired when the
user explicitly asked about configuring/setting up Hermes. Broaden it so
the agent treats the docs as a standing source of self-knowledge for any
Hermes-related help and for understanding its own features/tools, points
to the hermes-agent skill for additional guidance, and treats the docs as
the authoritative/latest source of truth when the two differ.
Static constant in the cache-safe stable tier — no prompt-cache impact.
Dashboard plugins (kanban, hermes-achievements) read
window.__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__ directly and hand-assembled WebSocket
URLs with ?token=. That works in loopback/--insecure mode but is
rejected on OAuth-gated deployments, where the session token is absent
and _ws_auth_ok only accepts single-use ?ticket= auth. The result was
401s on plugin REST calls and 1008/403 on the kanban live-events WS
whenever the dashboard ran behind OAuth (e.g. hosted Fly agents).
Make the plugin SDK the single sanctioned auth surface:
- web/src/lib/api.ts: add authedFetch() (raw Response for FormData
uploads / blob downloads, token-or-cookie auth, no throw / no 401
redirect) and buildWsUrl() (assembles a ws(s):// URL with the correct
auth param for the active mode — fresh single-use ticket in gated
mode, token in loopback).
- web/src/plugins/registry.ts: expose authedFetch, buildWsUrl,
buildWsAuthParam, and sdkVersion on window.__HERMES_PLUGIN_SDK__;
add SDK_CONTRACT_VERSION.
- web/src/plugins/sdk.d.ts: hand-authored typed contract for the
plugin SDK + registry globals (single source of truth for the
Window declarations).
- plugins/kanban + hermes-achievements dist bundles: stop reading the
session token directly; route uploads/downloads through
SDK.authedFetch and the live-events WS through SDK.buildWsUrl.
- plugins/kanban plugin_api.py: _ws_upgrade_authorized() delegates the
/events WS upgrade to the canonical web_server._ws_auth_ok gate, so
it transparently accepts loopback token / gated ticket / internal
credential and can never drift from core auth again.
- tests: guard test asserting no plugin dist reads
__HERMES_SESSION_TOKEN__ directly; kanban gated-ticket WS test.
Verified live on a gated staging Fly agent: kanban /events upgrades
101 with a minted ticket (ticket_len=43, ws_auth_ok=True) where the
old code got 403.
uv selects the project Python from requires-python and from the UV_PYTHON
env var, both of which override an already-created venv on the next
'uv sync'. With no upper bound on requires-python, an inherited
UV_PYTHON=3.14 (or a fresh distro whose newest interpreter uv auto-picks)
silently recreated the installer's 3.11 venv at 3.14, where Rust-backed
transitives (pydantic-core) have no cp314 wheel and fall back to a maturin
source build that fails. This bit a Windows/WSL user with UV_PYTHON set in
their shell and a fresh WSL-arch box where uv auto-picked 3.14.
Two layers:
- pyproject: requires-python '>=3.11' -> '>=3.11,<3.14' (+ uv lock regen).
uv now refuses a 3.14 interpreter with a clear error instead of attempting
the maturin build. Backstop independent of the installer.
- install.sh / install.ps1: pin UV_PYTHON to the venv interpreter after
creating it (in both the venv step and the deps step, since bootstrap runs
those stages as separate processes). An inherited UV_PYTHON can no longer
hijack the sync/pip tiers, so the install just works regardless of shell env.
Verified E2E: hostile UV_PYTHON=3.14 + uv venv --python 3.11 + uv sync now
installs into 3.11 with pydantic-core's 3.11 wheel; without the re-pin the
capped requires-python produces a legible incompatibility error rather than a
cryptic build failure.
Fireworks/Mistral reject HTTP 400 'Extra inputs are not permitted, field:
messages[N].tool_calls[M].extra_content' on any session whose history
contains prior Gemini tool calls. Gemini 3 thinking models attach
extra_content (thought_signature) to tool_calls; it survived to the wire
because the sanitize paths only stripped call_id/response_item_id.
Strip extra_content from the outgoing wire copy in both sanitize paths
(ChatCompletionsTransport.convert_messages + _sanitize_tool_calls_for_strict_api),
but gate it on the target model: keep extra_content for Gemini-family
targets (the thought_signature MUST be replayed or Gemini 400s), strip it
for everyone else — including non-Gemini models that inherit a stale Gemini
signature earlier in a mixed-provider session. Native Gemini is unaffected
(GeminiNativeClient bypasses these paths).
Original stored history is never mutated (only the per-call copy).
Fixes#17986.
The Desktop Chat section described chat-only and gave no signpost that
remote-hosted Hermes connection is documented. Adds a pointer to the
in-page remote-backend section and to the deeper Web Dashboard doc.
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.
The launch provider setup screen rejected too many legitimate users:
a live credential probe ("key rejected"), a post-save runtime check
("still cannot reach X"), and an 8-char minimum all gated progression.
Corporate proxies, regional blocks, rate-limited/flaky probes, and
self-hosted endpoints all tripped these. Now we just require a
non-empty value and save it; a genuinely bad key surfaces later at
chat time instead of blocking onboarding.
Desktop's readiness probe only checks GET /api/status (public), but the
live chat rides /api/ws, which is gated by --tui (4403), a matching
session token (4401), and a non-loopback bind. The web-dashboard doc
covered --tui and the OAuth gate but never the Desktop remote-connection
flow, so the three independent failure modes weren't documented together.
Adds a 'Connecting Hermes Desktop to a remote backend' section: pin
HERMES_DASHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN, run with --host 0.0.0.0 --insecure --tui,
the curl token-verification one-liner, and WS close-code triage.
The desktop chat app's slash curation (desktop-slash-commands.ts) only
suggested the ~19 curated built-ins. isDesktopSlashSuggestion required
membership in DESKTOP_COMMANDS, so every skill-derived command and user
quick_command was silently dropped from both completion paths
(commands.catalog empty-query + complete.slash typed-query) and from
filterDesktopCommandsCatalog — even though isDesktopSlashCommand let them
EXECUTE when typed in full. The tui_gateway backend already includes skills
in both RPCs; the gap was purely renderer-side.
Add isDesktopSlashExtensionCommand() (= not-a-known-Hermes-built-in, the
same predicate that already gates execution) and let extensions through the
suggestion path. The catalog filter routes through isDesktopSlashSuggestion,
so skill/quick-command categories and pairs are kept automatically.
The native Hindsight memory provider lazy-installs hindsight-client into
/opt/hermes/.venv at first use (tools/lazy_deps.py: memory.hindsight).
That venv lives inside the immutable image layer, not the mounted
/opt/data volume, so the dependency is wiped on every container recreate
/ image update. After an update, profile config still points at Hindsight
and the Hindsight server is healthy, but recall/retain fails with:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hindsight_client'
The manual workaround (uv pip install hindsight-client inside the running
container) doesn't survive the next recreate, and pip-install-into-.venv
is not an officially supported durable Docker workflow.
Fix: add --extra hindsight to the image's uv sync line, same pattern as
the --extra anthropic/bedrock/azure-identity providers (#30504) and
--extra messaging (#24698) — bake the optional dependency into the build
layer so it survives container recreate. The pyproject [hindsight] pin
(hindsight-client==0.6.1) already matches tools/lazy_deps.py and uv.lock,
so this is a pure additive --extra with no lockfile churn.
Verified: 'uv sync --frozen --no-install-project --extra hindsight'
against the committed uv.lock installs hindsight-client 0.6.1 and the
module imports cleanly.
Adds a regression test (mirrors test_dockerfile_preinstalls_gateway_
messaging_dependencies) so a future Dockerfile cleanup can't silently
drop the extra.
* fix(packaging): modernize project.license to PEP 639 SPDX string
Drops the SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning ('project.license as a TOML table
is deprecated') emitted on every editable build under setuptools>=77 by
switching license = { text = "MIT" } to the SPDX string form plus an
explicit license-files entry. Bumps build-system requires to
setuptools>=77 so an older build backend can't reject the string form.
The warning was non-fatal (builds succeed with it) but surfaces
prominently in install.ps1 build-failure output, where it gets mistaken
for the cause of unrelated Windows build_editable crashes.
* fix(packaging): bound setuptools build requirement per supply-chain policy
Add the <83 upper bound to setuptools>=77.0 so the dep-bounds supply-chain
gate (>=floor,<next_major) passes.
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.
`hermes portal` / `hermes setup --portal` previously logged in and set
provider=nous but left the model UNSELECTED (blank -> runtime default) and
never showed a picker — unlike the first-time quick setup, which runs the
model picker.
Route `_run_portal_one_shot` through `_model_flow_nous` — the exact same
routine quick setup (`_run_first_time_quick_setup`) and `hermes model` -> Nous
use. It handles both the logged-out path (device-code OAuth, which picks a
model internally) and the logged-in path (curated Nous model picker), then
offers the Tool Gateway opt-in and sets provider=nous. Net effect: `hermes
portal` now offers a model picker every time and is a true single-command
collapse of quick setup's Nous step.
Removes the hand-rolled auth_add_command + manual provider write + separate
Tool Gateway prompt (now a single source of truth). Re-syncs the in-memory
config from disk afterward so a caller's later save_config can't clobber the
model/provider written by the login flow.
Docs (CLI help, portal_cli docstrings, nous-portal EN + zh-Hans) updated to
mention model selection. New regression test asserts `_run_portal_one_shot`
delegates to `_model_flow_nous`.
Verified live: `hermes portal` now shows the 27-model curated picker, 'Skip
(keep current)' preserves prior provider/model.
* fix(desktop): prevent IME Enter from splitting messages and viewport resize from disarming scroll anchor
Two fixes for the Hermes Desktop composer:
1. IME composition Enter was treated as message submission. When a Korean/
Japanese/Chinese IME is composing text and the user presses Enter to
finalise the preedit, handleEditorKeyDown fired submitDraft() because it
did not check event.nativeEvent.isComposing. The assistant-ui hidden
textarea already guards this correctly; the custom contentEditable
handler was missing it. Added an early return when isComposing is true.
2. Viewport resize (composer expand/collapse, window resize) was disarming
the scroll sticky-bottom anchor. When the composer grows, the thread
viewport shrinks, the browser adjusts scrollTop down to keep content
visible, and the onScroll handler misread this as a user scroll-up.
Added lastClientHeightRef tracking so the disarm condition now requires
BOTH stable scrollHeight AND stable clientHeight before treating a
scrollTop decrease as user intent.
Fixes: random mid-message sends during IME typing; scroll jumps when the
composer resizes or the window changes size.
* fix(desktop): prevent virtualizer measurement adjustments from fighting scroll anchoring
The virtualizer's measureElement callbacks trigger scroll adjustments when
item sizes differ from estimates. These fight our ResizeObserver +
pinToBottom loop, creating visible rubber-banding (view snaps to composer
then jumps back up), even during idle.
Three changes:
1. React.memo on VirtualizedThread to stop parent re-renders cascading
2. Shared stickyBottomRef so scrollToFn can check bottom state
3. scrollToFn override: skip adjustments when user is at bottom
* fix(desktop): use stable useCallback ref instead of inline arrow for onBranchInNewChat
The inline arrow `messageId => void branchInNewChat(messageId)` created a
new function reference on every render. This cascaded through:
desktop-controller → ChatView → Thread → useMemo([...onBranchInNewChat])
→ new messageComponents object → VirtualizedThread receives new prop
→ React.memo overridden → virtualizer recalculates → measurement
adjustments trigger scroll jumps at the 15-second useStatusSnapshot
interval.
Pass the already-useCallback'd branchInNewChat directly.
* fix(desktop): use ctrlEnter submitMode on hidden textarea + gate ResizeObserver on isRunning
Two root-cause fixes:
1. IME message splitting: The hidden ComposerPrimitive.Input textarea had
submitMode='enter' (default), so any Enter keydown it received — even
during IME composition — triggered form.requestSubmit(). Changed to
submitMode='ctrlEnter' so only the contentEditable div (which correctly
checks isComposing) handles plain-Enter submission.
2. Scroll jumps during idle: The ResizeObserver auto-follow loop was
active even when the thread wasn't running, causing spurious
pinToBottom calls whenever any layout shift occurred (browser reflow,
font load, GPU cache eviction). Gated the ResizeObserver on
thread.isRunning so auto-scroll only follows during active streaming.
User messages still pin via useLayoutEffect, and thread.runStart still
calls jumpToBottom.
* fix(desktop): keep chat bottom anchor stable through idle layout shifts
* fix(desktop): prevent code block shrink scroll bounce
* fix(desktop): release bottom height lock on run completion
* fix(desktop): keep streaming code blocks rendered
* fix(desktop): keep bottom anchored through final render
* fix(desktop): render streaming reasoning code blocks
* feat(desktop): add subtle streaming block animations
The two retry hints inside _run_portal_one_shot (shown when the OAuth login
fails) still suggested `hermes auth add nous --type oauth`. Since this path
backs both `hermes portal` and `hermes setup --portal`, point users at the
new human-readable `hermes portal` for consistency.
`hermes portal` (no subcommand) now runs the one-shot Nous Portal onboarding
— OAuth login, switch provider to Nous, offer Tool Gateway — identical to
`hermes setup --portal` and the human-readable alias for
`hermes auth add nous --type oauth` (which still works).
The prior status default moves to `hermes portal info`; `status` is kept as a
hidden back-compat alias. `open`/`tools` subcommands are unchanged.
User-facing hints and docs (status.py, conversation_loop 401 guidance,
SystemPage, README, website docs + zh-Hans) now point at `hermes portal` /
`hermes portal info`. `--manual-paste` references keep the explicit auth
command since `hermes portal` does not expose that flag.
The macOS self-update relaunches and installs over the app it derives via
resolve_hermes_desktop_app (.../Hermes.app/Contents/MacOS/Hermes ->
.../Hermes.app). That derivation is load-bearing for both the ditto
install target and the auto-relaunch (open <app>), but had no test.
Add unit coverage:
- resolve_hermes_desktop_app_finds_built_bundle: a fake built release tree
resolves to the .app bundle on macOS (and the exe elsewhere).
- resolve_hermes_desktop_app_is_none_without_a_build: no build => None.
Verified the positive test FAILS if the .app parent-walk is wrong (e.g.
one too few .parent() hops), so it's a real guard against a regression
that would break the post-update relaunch target.
cargo test -> 17 passed.
The macOS self-update bundle swap (install_macos_app_update, added in
#38296) could leave the user with NO app installed. If moving the
existing /Applications/Hermes.app aside failed, the code deleted the
running app outright and set moved_old=false; if the subsequent move of
the freshly built bundle into place then also failed, the rollback was
gated on moved_old (now false) and skipped — leaving the target deleted
with no replacement.
Extract the swap into swap_in_new_bundle() with a strict invariant: on
ANY failure path the target is left pointing at a working bundle (either
the original, rolled back, or untouched) and is never deleted with no
replacement. Also clean up the staged .hermes-update-new copy on the
failure paths instead of orphaning it.
Add unit tests covering the happy path, the rollback-on-install-failure
path, and the catastrophic both-moves-fail path. The catastrophic-path
test was verified to FAIL against the old code ("original app must NOT
be deleted on failure") and pass against the fix.
* fix(packaging): ship locales/ i18n catalogs in wheel, sdist, and Nix
locales/ is a bare data dir (no __init__.py), invisible to packages.find
and package-data. Sealed installs (pip wheel, Nix store venv) dropped it,
so gateway/CLI commands rendered raw i18n keys like
gateway.reset.header_default.
- pyproject: [tool.setuptools.data-files] locales = ["locales/*.yaml"] (wheel)
- MANIFEST.in: graft locales (sdist)
- agent/i18n._locales_dir: env override -> source -> sysconfig data scheme
- nix/hermes-agent.nix: copy locales into the store + set HERMES_BUNDLED_LOCALES
as defense-in-depth. The wheel's data-files already materialize into the
uv2nix venv, so resolution works with no env var; the override pins the
store path against a future uv2nix change that could drop data-files.
- tests: metadata regression, wheel + sdist build-install smoke tests, and a
bundled-locales flake check that verifies BOTH the wrapper override and the
env-var-less data-files path. Smoke test wired into CI.
Closes#23943, #27632, #35374.
Supersedes #23966, #27716, #30261, #33841, #35429, #35494, #35735, #36697.
* test: cap locale e2e timeout, tighten catalog count guard
The two wheel/sdist e2e tests inherit the global --timeout=30 from
addopts; a cold-CI run (isolated build env + venv create + network pip
install) can plausibly exceed it. Add @pytest.mark.timeout(300) so they
don't ride the unit-test budget and flake intermittently.
Also assert the shipped catalog count equals len(SUPPORTED_LANGUAGES)
instead of a hardcoded >=16 floor, so the guard self-updates and trips
on a single dropped catalog (not just a fully-empty graft).
Avoid stale WebSocket events from an old reconnect attempt flipping the gateway state after a newer socket opens. Also limit session-search dedupe to compression edges so branch-specific hits still open the branch instead of collapsing to the parent.
Four related desktop session-management bugs:
- Pins lost until refresh: pinned sessions are joined against the
paginated in-memory session list, so a pinned chat that aged off the
most-recent page got evicted on the next refresh (every message.complete
triggers one) and the Pinned section went empty. mergeWorkingSessions ->
mergeSessionPage now also preserves pinned rows (matched by live id or
lineage root). Pin id checks in the chat header, command center, and
delete/archive are normalized to the durable sessionPinId so pins survive
auto-compression.
- Stuck on "Starting Hermes" after sleep: macOS sleep drops the renderer
WebSocket; nothing reconnected on wake so the composer stayed disabled.
The gateway boot hook now auto-reconnects with backoff on close/error and
on wake signals (powerMonitor resume/unlock-screen IPC, window online,
visibilitychange). connect() gains an open timeout so a hung reconnect
can't deadlock in 'connecting'. Composer placeholder distinguishes
"Reconnecting to Hermes" from a cold start.
- Loses chats from itself: the same hard-replace that dropped pins also
dropped loaded sessions; mergeSessionPage keeps them.
- Multiple copies/branches in search: /api/sessions/search deduped only by
raw session_id, so compression segments and branches surfaced as separate
hits. It now dedupes by lineage root and returns the live compression tip,
matching the session_search tool's behavior.
PR #38296 added four emit_log() calls using the old 3-arg signature, but
main had already changed emit_log to take a `stream: LogStream` argument
(#38312, "stop mislabeling stdout-style progress as stderr"). The two PRs
touched different lines, so the merge auto-resolved with no conflict and
left main unable to compile the bootstrap installer (E0061: 4 args expected,
3 supplied).
Supply the missing stream: Stdout for the update/install progress lines and
Stderr for the "could not auto-launch desktop" failure, matching the
convention from #38312. cargo check passes.

The Desktop App and Web Dashboard remote-connect instructions told users
to start the backend with `hermes dashboard --no-open --insecure --host
0.0.0.0`, omitting --tui. Without --tui the embedded-chat WebSockets
(/api/ws, /api/pty) are refused, so the desktop passes the /api/status
health check and reports the backend "ready" — but chat never works
because the socket is closed on connect.
- Add --tui to both backend command blocks (with an inline why-comment).
- Explain that the desktop chat runs over /api/ws + /api/pty and needs
the embedded-chat surface enabled; a plain dashboard/gateway is not
enough.
- Add a troubleshooting entry for the exact symptom (connects, says
ready, chat dead) on both pages.
Assert _exec_schtasks passes an explicit encoding and errors="replace" to
subprocess.run, and that _schtasks_encoding falls back to utf-8 when the
locale lookup is empty or raises (#38172).
_exec_schtasks ran schtasks.exe with text=True but no encoding/errors, so
localized Windows (e.g. Chinese) output in the console code page raised
UnicodeDecodeError tracebacks from subprocess' reader threads during
`hermes gateway status`. Decode with the locale's preferred encoding and
errors="replace" so non-UTF-8 status output is read cleanly.
Fixes#38172
* fix(dashboard): clamp PTY resize dimensions for WSL2 winsize garbage
WSL2 reports columns=131072, rows=1 from a broken winsize probe. The
dashboard /chat tab forwards xterm.js dimensions through PtyBridge.resize(),
which packs them as unsigned short via struct.pack. 131072 > 65535 raised
struct.error — uncaught (only OSError was handled) — breaking the resize
path and leaving the TUI laid out for a one-row, absurdly-wide screen, which
surfaces as blank/disappearing text.
Clamp cols/rows to a sane [1, 2000]x[1, 1000] range before packing.
Non-finite/non-integer probes fall back to the minimum so nothing can reach
struct.pack and raise.
* test(dashboard): de-flake pub/events broadcast test
test_pub_broadcasts_to_events_subscribers round-tripped a frame through
two nested Starlette TestClient WebSocket portals within a 10s wall-clock
budget. Under heavy parallel CI load a starved ASGI thread occasionally
blew that budget even though the server logic is correct, producing
intermittent 'broadcast not received within 10s' failures.
Drive _broadcast_event directly under asyncio with fake subscribers
instead. Same fan-out contract (verbatim delivery to every subscriber on
the channel, nothing to other channels), zero scheduling surface. Runs in
~0.3s, deterministic across 10 consecutive runs.
Both installers (Electron bootstrap-runner + Tauri) hardcoded a literal
`stderr: ` prefix onto every line that arrived on fd 2. Tools like
uv/pip/git/npm write normal progress to stderr by design, so routine
install output showed up tagged as "stderr" (and rendered red in the
Tauri progress UI), making a healthy install look like it was erroring.
Carry the stream as structured metadata (`stream: 'stdout' | 'stderr'`)
on the log event instead of mangling the line text. The UI now styles
stderr subtly (dimmed) rather than alarmingly, and the persistent
forensic logs keep their stdout/stderr distinction.
Chromium exposes the same pasted image on both DataTransfer.items and
.files as distinct Blob objects, which attached twice. Prefer items and
skip the files mirror when items already yielded images.
The macOS DMG / in-app update could leave Hermes unable to relaunch: the
staged updater rebuilt the desktop without managed Node on PATH ("npm not
found"), never installed the rebuilt bundle over the running app, and could
race itself on `git stash`. Child install scripts also inherited a deleted
cwd from the .app bundle replaced during self-update.
- update.rs: prepend $HERMES_HOME/node/bin + venv bin to the rebuild PATH;
read --branch / --target-app from args; add a macOS "install" stage that
dittos the rebuilt bundle over the target app, clears quarantine, and
relaunches via `open` (rolling back on a failed swap); guard start_update
with an AtomicBool so concurrent startUpdate() calls can't race git stash.
- main.cjs: pass --branch <configured> and --target-app <running bundle> to
the staged updater, and spawn it with HERMES_HOME + managed Node/venv on
PATH and cwd=HERMES_HOME.
- bootstrap.rs: launch the desktop via `open <App>.app` on macOS instead of
exec'ing Contents/MacOS/Hermes, avoiding cwd/quarantine issues post-rebuild.
- powershell.rs: pin child install scripts to a stable cwd so they don't emit
getcwd errors when the launching .app is replaced mid-install.
- failure.tsx: in update mode show "Update didn't finish" / "Retry update"
and retry via startUpdate() instead of re-running the installer bootstrap.
* fix(tui): save TUI /save snapshots under Hermes home with system prompt
The TUI gateway's session.save RPC wrote hermes_conversation_<ts>.json to
the workspace/project CWD via os.path.abspath(...) and only exported model
and messages. This diverged from the classic CLI /save (which writes under
the Hermes profile home) and from the dashboard save (which includes the
system prompt).
Write the snapshot under get_hermes_home()/sessions/saved/ and include
system_prompt, session_id, and session_start so the TUI export matches the
CLI and dashboard behavior.

* fix(tui): prefer agent.session_start for /save export; assert it in test
Address review feedback: derive session_start from the agent's session_start
datetime (matching the classic CLI export) and fall back to the gateway
session's created_at only when unavailable. Assert session_start in the
regression test.

* feat(desktop): enrich profiles dashboard and de-dupe channel env vars
Add active-profile switching, role descriptions (manual + auto-generate
via the auxiliary LLM), per-profile model selection, and gateway-running
/ distribution badges to the GUI Profiles page. New profile creation
gains clone-all, optional description and model assignment.
Hide messaging-platform credentials (channel_managed) from the Keys/Env
page since the Channels page is the canonical surface for them, and
relabel the trimmed "messaging" category as "Gateway".

* fix(desktop): address review feedback on profiles/env changes
- ProfilesPage: scope the action-menu outside-click handler to the menu's
own container via a ref so opening one card's menu no longer leaves
others open.
- EnvPage: route the "Gateway" label and hint through i18n
(t.common.gateway / gatewayHint) instead of hard-coded English, with an
English fallback for untranslated locales.
- web_server: only report description_auto=true when auto-generation
actually succeeded.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
* fix(desktop): address second-round review on profiles
- ProfilesPage: treat describe-auto success by null-checking the
description and trust the response's description_auto flag instead of
assuming true; disable the model-editor Save button unless the selected
choice resolves to a real /api/model/options entry (avoids silent
no-op saves).
- tests: cover the new profile endpoints (active get/set + 404,
description round-trip + 404, model round-trip + 400 validation, and
describe-auto success/failure contracts).

* fix(desktop): more profiles review fixes (toggles, races, tests)
- ProfilesPage: use the canonical `active` returned by setActiveProfile;
make the SOUL/description/model action-menu items toggle their editor
closed when already open; guard description save/auto-describe against
stale responses via an activeDescRequest ref so a late reply can't
clobber a different open editor.
- tests: assert /api/env channel_managed classification matches
_channel_managed_env_keys().

The "Build desktop app" install step failed with an opaque "exit code 1"
on machines with an old Node, and nothing in the logs explained it.
Reproduced: on Node 20.5.1, `npm run pack`'s `vite build` crashes with
You are using Node.js 20.5.1. Vite requires Node.js version 20.19+ or 22.12+.
SyntaxError: The requested module 'node:util' does not provide an
export named 'styleText'
Vite 8 (rolldown) imports node:util.styleText, which doesn't exist before
Node 20.12, so the build dies before producing the app. The installer's
check_node / Test-Node accepted ANY pre-existing Node with no version
floor, so a too-old system Node was used for the build instead of the
bundled Node 22.
Add a version floor (^20.19 || >=22.12) to check_node (install.sh) and
Test-Node (install.ps1): a too-old system Node is replaced with the
Hermes-managed Node 22 LTS, and the desktop stage re-resolves Node so the
build always runs on a satisfying version. Declare the same range in
apps/desktop/package.json engines.
Verified: build succeeds on Node 22, fails on 20.5.1 with the error above;
the floor logic matches Vite's range across boundary versions (20.18/20.19,
21.x, 22.11/22.12).
Git for Windows defaults to core.autocrlf=true, which renormalizes the
repo's LF-only text files to CRLF in the working tree. On a managed,
never-user-edited clone this makes tracked files (.envrc, AGENTS.md,
agent/*.py, workflows) show as locally modified, so the update path's
bare git checkout aborts with 'Your local changes would be overwritten
by checkout' and the desktop bootstrap fails at stage=repository.
The bash installer already autostashes before checkout; the PowerShell
path had no dirty-tree handling at all and never pinned autocrlf.
Fix: (1) git reset --hard HEAD before fetch/checkout in the update path
to discard any pre-existing dirt, and (2) pin core.autocrlf=false on both
the update and fresh-clone paths so the dirt is never created again.
