fix(acp): only deliver final_response after streaming when transformed
PR #29119 dropped the 'not streamed_message' guard unconditionally so
that plugin-transformed responses (transform_llm_output hook) would
reach ACP clients. That regressed test_prompt_does_not_duplicate_streamed_final_message:
when no transform happened, the streamed text was re-sent as a duplicate
final delivery.
Tighten the condition to mirror the gateway side: deliver after streaming
only when response_transformed=True. Otherwise keep the old guard.
Adds test_prompt_delivers_transformed_response_after_streaming so the
transformed path stays covered.
fix(cli): decouple tool_progress=verbose from global DEBUG logging (#31379)
PR #6a1aa420e coupled display.tool_progress: verbose (a per-tool display
toggle for full args / results / think blocks) to self.verbose — which
controls root-logger DEBUG level. Result: setting tool_progress: verbose
in config silently flipped every module in the process to DEBUG and
flooded the terminal with internal logging, far beyond just full tool
calls.
The two concepts are separate:
- tool_progress_mode == 'verbose' → display behavior (tool rendering)
- self.verbose → logging behavior (root logger → DEBUG, line 9795)
This change keeps PR #6a1aa420e's argparse.SUPPRESS / config-fallback
plumbing but severs the verbose-display → debug-logging link.
Changes:
- cli.py:2868 — self.verbose only follows explicit verbose= arg; no
longer auto-True when tool_progress_mode == 'verbose'.
- cli.py:_toggle_verbose — slash-cycle through tool progress modes no
longer flips self.verbose / agent.verbose_logging / agent.quiet_mode.
- cli.py:9355 — fix misleading label (drop 'and debug logs').
- tui_gateway/server.py:_make_agent — same decoupling on the TUI side
(verbose_logging no longer derived from tool_progress_mode).
- tests/cli/test_tool_progress_scrollback.py — invert the test that
asserted the broken coupling; add coverage for explicit --verbose
still enabling DEBUG independent of tool_progress.
Live verified:
- tool_progress: verbose, no --verbose flag → 0 DEBUG/INFO log lines
- --verbose flag explicit → 32 DEBUG/INFO log lines (as expected)
refactor(gateway): migrate Discord adapter to bundled plugin (full Teams parity)
First migration of an existing built-in platform adapter to the plugin
system established by IRC / Teams / LINE / Google Chat. Closes #24325;
advances the umbrella refactor in #3823.
Matches Teams' shape exactly — adapter under plugins/platforms/discord/
with the standard __init__.py / adapter.py / plugin.yaml
shell, register(ctx) entry point, **no back-compat shim** at the old
import path, and full parity for the four hooks Teams uses plus the
apply_yaml_config_fn hook that landed in #25443 (the Discord plugin
is the first consumer of that hook):
* standalone_sender_fn — out-of-process cron delivery via REST API
* setup_fn — interactive hermes setup gateway wizard
* apply_yaml_config_fn — translate config.yamldiscord: keys
into DISCORD_* env vars (replaces the hardcoded block in
gateway/config.py)
* is_connected — declares connection state from DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN
* check_fn — lazy-installs discord.py on demand
* plus allowed_users_env, allow_all_env, cron_deliver_env_var,
max_message_length, emoji, required_env, install_hint
* gateway/platforms/discord.py (5,101 LOC) →
plugins/platforms/discord/adapter.py (git rename, R090).
* New plugins/platforms/discord/{__init__.py, plugin.yaml} with
requires_env / optional_env declarations.
* Append register(ctx) block + new hook implementations
(_standalone_send, interactive_setup, _apply_yaml_config,
_clean_discord_user_ids, _is_connected, _build_adapter,
plus helpers _DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE etc.) to the
adapter.
* Replace the Platform.DISCORD elif branch in
GatewayRunner._create_adapter() (−9 LOC) with a generic post-creation
hook (+6 LOC) in the registry path: any plugin adapter that declares a
gateway_runner attribute now gets it auto-injected. Webhook's
built-in branch is unchanged (it doesn't go through the registry path).
* Move _send_discord (190 LOC) and helpers
(_DISCORD_CHANNEL_TYPE_PROBE_CACHE, _remember_channel_is_forum,
_probe_is_forum_cached, _derive_forum_thread_name) from
tools/send_message_tool.py into the plugin as _standalone_send.
* Wire via standalone_sender_fn=_standalone_send (Teams pattern; same
gap fixed in #21804 for other plugin platforms).
* Replace the Discord elif in tools/send_message_tool.py_send_to_platform with a 10-line registry-hook dispatch.
* Drop the DiscordAdapter import and the
Platform.DISCORD: DiscordAdapter.MAX_MESSAGE_LENGTH_MAX_LENGTHS
entry — the registry's max_message_length=2000 covers it.
* Move _setup_discord and _clean_discord_user_ids (68 LOC) from
hermes_cli/setup.py into the plugin as interactive_setup.
* Wire via setup_fn=interactive_setup. CLI helpers (prompt,
print_info, etc.) are lazy-imported so the plugin's module-load
surface stays minimal.
* Remove "discord": _s._setup_discord from
hermes_cli/gateway.py::_builtin_setup_fn.
* Remove the entire 32-line _PLATFORMS["discord"] static dict entry —
Discord's setup metadata is now discovered dynamically via
_all_platforms() from the registry entry.
* Move the 59-line discord_cfg YAML→env bridge from
gateway/config.py::load_gateway_config() into the plugin as
_apply_yaml_config. Covers require_mention,
thread_require_mention, free_response_channels, auto_thread,
reactions, ignored_channels, allowed_channels,
no_thread_channels, ``allow_mentions.{everyone,roles,users,
replied_user}, and reply_to_mode`` (including the YAML 1.1
off-as-False coercion and the extra.reply_to_mode fallback).
* Wire via apply_yaml_config_fn=_apply_yaml_config.
* The hook runs BEFORE _apply_env_overrides and after the generic
shared-key loop, exactly as documented in
website/docs/developer-guide/adding-platform-adapters.md.
* Behavior is preserved exactly — every assignment still uses
not os.getenv(...) guards so env vars take precedence over YAML.
All 78 references to the old import path are rewritten — no back-compat
shim:
* 51 from gateway.platforms.discord import X →
from plugins.platforms.discord.adapter import X
* 5 import gateway.platforms.discord as discord_platform →
import plugins.platforms.discord.adapter as discord_platform
* 1 from gateway.platforms import discord as discord_mod →
from plugins.platforms.discord import adapter as discord_mod
* 21 mock.patch("gateway.platforms.discord.X") strings →
mock.patch("plugins.platforms.discord.adapter.X")
* 1 docstring reference in hermes_cli/commands.py
* 1 import in tools/send_message_tool.py (now removed entirely)
The import-safety test in tests/gateway/test_discord_imports.py is
updated to purge the new canonical module name from sys.modules.
**38 files changed, +621 / −473** — net positive due to the YAML hook
implementation (89 new LOC in the plugin trading for 59 deleted in core),
but every line moved has a clear plugin home now. The git rename is
detected at R090 because the adapter gained ~340 LOC of moved-in hook
implementations (_standalone_send + interactive_setup +
_apply_yaml_config + helpers).
* All 568 Discord-specific tests pass across 25 test_discord_*.py
files plus voice/send/text-batching/reload-skills/stream-consumer/
integration tests.
* All 147 tests in the YAML-touching subset
(test_discord_reply_mode, test_discord_free_response,
test_discord_allowed_channels, test_discord_allowed_mentions,
test_discord_channel_controls, test_discord_reactions,
test_discord_thread_persistence, test_runtime_footer) pass —
this is the strongest signal that the YAML→env hook behaves
identically to the legacy block.
* Broader gateway/cron/integration sweep (1297 tests) introduces zero
new failures vs main. Pre-existing failures in
tests/gateway/test_tts_media_routing.py and
tests/e2e/test_platform_commands.py reproduce identically on the
unchanged main revision.
* Plugin discovery sanity check confirms Discord registers alongside the
other four platform plugins:
Registered platforms: ['discord', 'google_chat', 'irc', 'line', 'teams']
These Discord-shaped tendrils in core were **deliberately not moved** —
they are generic platform-registry concerns affecting every platform,
not Discord-specific:
* gateway/config.py:1205DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN → config.token env
enablement — same shape Telegram has. The existing
env_enablement_fn registry hook only seeds extra, not
.token, so it can't replace this without an adapter refactor to
read from extra["bot_token"].
* gateway/run.py voice-mode hooks
(self.adapters.get(Platform.DISCORD) for
start_voice_mode/stop_voice_mode), role-based auth,
DISCORD_ALLOW_BOTS branch in _is_user_authorized,
_UPDATE_ALLOWED_PLATFORMS frozenset, and the per-platform
allowlist maps — generic platform-registry concerns.
* Platform.DISCORD enum literal — stable identifier used as dict
keys throughout the codebase; removing it is a separate refactor with
no real benefit.
* tools/discord_tool.py and tools/environments/local.py —
first-class agent tools and env-passthrough config, neither is the
gateway adapter.
Each of these is worth its own scoping issue when the time comes.
test(telegram): add brand-new-topic regression for #31086
The cherry-picked fix from #28605 inverts an existing test (an unknown
non-lobby thread_id no longer rewrites to the most-recent binding), but
that test only seeds two bindings and queries a third thread_id. Add a
second regression test that more closely mirrors the live failure mode:
seed exactly one prior binding, then query a brand-new thread_id and
assert recovery returns None — so the new topic is allowed to get its
own session row instead of being silently merged into the previous
topic's session.

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.
Flags: --json, --fail-on {low,moderate,high,critical} (default: critical),
--skip-venv, --skip-plugins, --skip-mcp
Output groups findings by source, sorts by severity descending, surfaces
fixed-versions inline. Exit 1 when any finding meets the --fail-on tier.
Deliberately out of scope: globally-installed pip/npm, editor/browser
extensions, daily background scans, auto-blocking of installs. The audit
is on-demand by design — daily scans become noise the user trains
themselves to ignore.
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.

chore: ruff auto-fix PLR6201 resweep — tuple → set in membership tests (#27355)
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical x in (...) → x in {...} fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- ruff check clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).

fix(agent): abort on HTTP 402 after pool rotation and fallback fail (#31443)
Closes #31273.
HTTP 402 (insufficient credits) was retried up to agent.api_max_retries
times (default 3), burning paid requests against an exhausted balance.
Real-world impact: ~$40 in 48h on a 24/7 Telegram+Discord gateway.
Root cause: FailoverReason.billing was in the is_client_error
exclusion set in agent/conversation_loop.py, which prevents the
non-retryable-abort branch from firing.
By the time control reaches that predicate:
* credential-pool rotation has already run for billing and either
continued the loop or returned False (pool exhausted/absent)
* the eager-fallback branch has also fired on billing and either
continued the loop or fell through (no fallback configured)
Falling through to the backoff retry from here has no recovery
mechanism left — it just burns more paid requests. Removing billing
from the exclusion set makes 402 abort cleanly once pool+fallback
recovery has failed, mirroring how 401/403 (also should_fallback=True)
already behave.
Added tests/run_agent/test_31273_402_not_retried.py which mirrors the
is_client_error predicate shape from the source and asserts the
invariant (plus a source-inspection guard against accidental
re-introduction).
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.
fix(tests): align CI tests with recent security hardening (#31470)
Four recent security PRs landed on main with stale/missing test updates,
breaking 4 test shards on every subsequent PR's CI run:
- test_discord_bot_auth_bypass.py (PR #30742 c3caca658):
DISCORD_ALLOWED_ROLES no longer bypasses _is_user_authorized.
Inverted 3 tests to assert the new (correct) behavior: role config
alone does NOT authorize at the gateway layer.
- test_msgraph_webhook.py (PR #30169 4ca77f105):
adapter.is_connected is a @property, not a method. Test was calling
it with () after the connect() change; TypeError: 'bool' is not
callable. Removed the parens.
- test_feishu_approval_buttons.py (PR #30744 bdb97b857):
Card-action callbacks now go through _allow_group_message
authorization. 3 tests in TestCardActionCallbackResponse didn't
populate adapter._allowed_group_users so the operator's open_id got
rejected. Added the allowlist setup to each test, matching the
existing pattern in test_returns_card_for_approve_action.
Also raise tolerance on test_wait_for_process_kills_subprocess_on_keyboardinterrupt:
the SIGTERM → 3s TimeoutStopSec → SIGKILL → reap chain can exceed 10s
under loaded xdist (40 workers). Bumped _wait_for_pgid_exit timeout
10→30s and worker join timeout 5→15s. Passes 100% in isolation
already; this just makes it tolerant of CI-host load.
Validation: 270/270 tests pass across the 5 affected files.

fix: thread safety for concurrent subagent delegation (#1672)
* fix: thread safety for concurrent subagent delegation
Four thread-safety fixes that prevent crashes and data races when
running multiple subagents concurrently via delegate_task:
1. Remove redirect_stdout/stderr from delegate_tool — mutating global
sys.stdout races with the spinner thread when multiple children start
concurrently, causing segfaults. Children already run with
quiet_mode=True so the redirect was redundant.
2. Split _run_single_child into _build_child_agent (main thread) +
_run_single_child (worker thread). AIAgent construction creates
httpx/SSL clients which are not thread-safe to initialize
concurrently.
3. Add threading.Lock to SessionDB — subagents share the parent's
SessionDB and call create_session/append_message from worker threads
with no synchronization.
4. Add _active_children_lock to AIAgent — interrupt() iterates
_active_children while worker threads append/remove children.
5. Add _client_cache_lock to auxiliary_client — multiple subagent
threads may resolve clients concurrently via call_llm().

* feat: Honcho base_url override via config.yaml + quick command alias type
Two features salvaged from PR #1576:
1. Honcho base_url override: allows pointing Hermes at a remote
self-hosted Honcho deployment via config.yaml:
honcho:
base_url: "http://192.168.x.x:8000"
When set, this overrides the Honcho SDK's environment mapping
(production/local), enabling LAN/VPN Honcho deployments without
requiring the server to live on localhost. Uses config.yaml instead
of env var (HONCHO_URL) per project convention.
2. Quick command alias type: adds a new 'alias' quick command type
that rewrites to another slash command before normal dispatch:
quick_commands:
sc:
type: alias
target: /context
Supports both CLI and gateway. Arguments are forwarded to the
target command.

refactor: consolidate symlink-safe atomic replace into shared helper
Extract the islink/realpath guard from the 16743 fix into a single
atomic_replace() helper in utils.py, then migrate every os.replace()
call site in the codebase to use it.
The original PR #16777 correctly identified and fixed the bug, but
only patched 9 of ~24 call sites. The same bug class (managed
deployments that symlink state files silently losing the link on
every write) still existed at auth.json, sessions file, gateway
config, env_loader, webhook subscriptions, debug store, model
catalog, pairing, google OAuth, nous rate guard, and more.
Rather than add another 10+ copies of the same three-line guard,
consolidate into atomic_replace(tmp, target) which:
- resolves symlinks via os.path.realpath before os.replace
- returns the resolved real path so callers can re-apply permissions
- is a drop-in replacement for os.replace at the use sites
Changes:
- utils.py: new atomic_replace() helper + atomic_json_write /
atomic_yaml_write now call it instead of inlining the guard
- 16 files: all os.replace() call sites migrated to atomic_replace()
- agent/{google_oauth, nous_rate_guard, shell_hooks}.py
- cron/jobs.py
- gateway/{pairing, session, platforms/telegram}.py
- hermes_cli/{auth, config, debug, env_loader, model_catalog, webhook}.py
- tools/{memory_tool, skill_manager_tool, skills_sync}.py
Tests: tests/test_atomic_replace_symlinks.py pins the invariant for
atomic_replace + atomic_json_write + atomic_yaml_write, covers plain
files, first-time creates, broken symlinks, and permission preservation.

security(runtime_provider): close OLLAMA_API_KEY substring-leak sweep miss (#13522)
Two call sites still used a raw substring check to identify ollama.com:
hermes_cli/runtime_provider.py:496:
_is_ollama_url = "ollama.com" in base_url.lower()
run_agent.py:6127:
if fb_base_url_hint and "ollama.com" in fb_base_url_hint.lower() ...
Same bug class as GHSA-xf8p-v2cg-h7h5 (OpenRouter substring leak), which
was fixed in commit dbb7e00e via base_url_host_matches() across the
codebase. The earlier sweep missed these two Ollama sites. Self-discovered
during April 2026 security-advisory triage; filed as GHSA-76xc-57q6-vm5m.
Impact is narrow — requires a user with OLLAMA_API_KEY configured AND a
custom base_url whose path or look-alike host contains 'ollama.com'.
Users on default provider flows are unaffected. Filed as a draft advisory
to use the private-fork flow; not CVE-worthy on its own.
Fix is mechanical: replace substring check with base_url_host_matches
at both sites. Same helper the rest of the codebase uses.
Tests: 67 -> 71 passing. 7 new host-matcher cases in
tests/test_base_url_hostname.py (path injection, lookalike host,
localtest.me subdomain, ollama.ai TLD confusion, localhost, genuine
ollama.com, api.ollama.com subdomain) + 4 call-site tests in
tests/hermes_cli/test_runtime_provider_resolution.py verifying
OLLAMA_API_KEY is selected only when base_url actually targets
ollama.com.
Fixes GHSA-76xc-57q6-vm5m
test: regression coverage for checkpoint dedup and inf/nan coercion
Covers the two bugs salvaged from PR #15161:
- test_batch_runner_checkpoint: TestFinalCheckpointNoDuplicates asserts
the final aggregated completed_prompts list has no duplicate indices,
and keeps a sanity anchor test documenting the pre-fix pattern so a
future refactor that re-introduces it is caught immediately.
- test_model_tools: TestCoerceNumberInfNan asserts _coerce_number
returns the original string for inf/-inf/nan/Infinity inputs and that
the result round-trips through strict (allow_nan=False) json.dumps.
feat(secrets/bitwarden): EU Cloud + self-hosted server URL support (#31378)
Closes #31370.
bws defaults to the US identity endpoint, so EU Cloud and self-hosted
machine-account tokens fail with [400 Bad Request] {"error":"invalid_client"}
during 'hermes secrets bitwarden setup'. The token is valid — it's just
being checked against the wrong region.
Add a Bitwarden region step to the wizard between the access-token and
project-list steps:
Step 1 Install bws
Step 2 Provide access token
Step 3 Pick region <-- new (US / EU / self-hosted-custom-URL)
Step 4 Pick project (now talks to the right endpoint)
Step 5 Test fetch
Region is stored in config.yaml as secrets.bitwarden.server_url and
plumbed into every bws subprocess as BWS_SERVER_URL (project list,
secret list, test fetch, and the env_loader startup pull).
Also:
- Non-interactive: 'hermes secrets bitwarden setup --server-url ...'
- Pre-existing BWS_SERVER_URL in the shell is detected and reused
- Cache key includes server_url so EU/US fetches don't collide
- 'hermes secrets bitwarden status' shows the configured region
- 'invalid_client' / '400 Bad Request' from bws now triggers a hint
pointing at the region setting instead of looking like a bad token
fix(tests): catch up six stale tests after compression/aux/kanban changes (#28465)
- aux_config: drop session_search from _AUX_TASKS and remove stale test
(PR #27590 removed auxiliary.session_search from DEFAULT_CONFIG)
- compression_boundary_hook: set compressor._last_compress_aborted=False
on MagicMock so the post-compress abort branch (PR #28117) doesn't
short-circuit before the session-id rotation under test
- kanban_dashboard_plugin: use consecutive_failures=3 so severity stays
'error' (failure_threshold default dropped from 3 to 2 in d9fef0c8a,
so failures=5 now crosses the critical floor of 2*2=4)
- cli_manual_compress: accept force kwarg on DummyAgent._compress_context

fix(cache): kill long-lived prefix layout — system prompt is now byte-static within a session (#24778)
The long-lived prefix-cache layout split the system prompt into stable/
context/volatile blocks and re-derived them on every API call. The
volatile tier (timestamp + memory snapshot + USER profile) ticks per
turn, so the system message bytes mutated mid-conversation and broke
upstream prompt caches (OpenRouter, Nous Portal, Anthropic).
Diagnosed via live wire-format diffing: an 8-turn conversation showed
OLD layout flipping system block[1] sha mid-session at the minute
boundary, dropping cached_tokens to 0 on that turn (cumulative
66.6% vs 83.3% for the single-block layout). Hermes invariant:
history (system + all but the last 1-2 messages) must be static.
Fix: drop the long-lived layout entirely. Single layout everywhere —
system_and_3 with one cached system string built once on first turn,
replayed verbatim on every subsequent turn. Loses cross-session 1h
prefix caching for Claude (the feature that motivated the split), but
within-session caching now actually works on every provider.
Removed:
- run_agent.py: _use_long_lived_prefix_cache flag, _long_lived_cache_ttl,
_supports_long_lived_anthropic_cache method, the long-lived branch in
run_conversation, mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache call site
- agent/prompt_caching.py: apply_anthropic_cache_control_long_lived,
mark_tools_for_long_lived_cache, _mark_system_stable_block helper
- hermes_cli/config.py: prompt_caching.long_lived_prefix and

Targeted tests: 62/62 pass.
fix: fall back to provider's default model when model config is empty (#8303)
When a user configures a provider (e.g. hermes auth add openai-codex)
but never selects a model via hermes model, the gateway and CLI would
pass an empty model string to the API, causing:
'Codex Responses request model must be a non-empty string'
Now both gateway (_resolve_session_agent_runtime) and CLI
(_ensure_runtime_credentials) detect an empty model and fill it from
the provider's first catalog entry in _PROVIDER_MODELS. This covers
all providers that have a static model list (openai-codex, anthropic,
gemini, copilot, etc.).
The fix is conservative: it only triggers when model is truly empty
and a known provider was resolved. Explicit model choices are never
overridden.
feat(secrets): label detected credentials with their source (Bitwarden) (#30364)
When Bitwarden Secrets Manager supplies a provider key, 'hermes model'
and the setup wizard show 'credentials ✓' with no hint of where the
key came from — identical to the .env case. Users assume the integration
isn't wired up and re-enter the key (or hit Enter and cancel).
env_loader now tracks which env vars were injected by an external secret
source and exposes get_secret_source() / format_secret_source_suffix() so
the provider flows can render 'Anthropic credentials: sk-ant-... ✓
(from Bitwarden)' instead of an unlabeled checkmark.
Wired into _prompt_api_key (kimi, z.ai, minimax, opencode, ...), the
Anthropic provider flow, the Bedrock flow, and the GitHub Copilot token
display.
Future secret sources (Vault, 1Password, etc.) drop in by setting their
own label in _SECRET_SOURCES; format_secret_source_suffix() has a generic
fallback so no call sites need updating.
fix(tools): isolate get_tool_definitions quiet_mode cache + dedup LCM injection (#17335)
Long-lived Gateway processes were sending duplicate tool names to
providers that enforce uniqueness:
- DeepSeek: 'Tool names must be unique.'
- Xiaomi MiMo: 'tools contains duplicate names: lcm_expand'
- Moonshot/Kimi: 'function name lcm_grep is duplicated'
TUI was unaffected because TUI runs with quiet_mode=False and skips the
cache entirely.
Root cause (two layered bugs)
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions(quiet_mode=True) memoizes its result
in _tool_defs_cache. The cache-hit path returned list(cached) (safe),
but the FIRST uncached call stored and returned the SAME object.
run_agent.py mutates self.tools (memory + LCM context-engine schemas)
in-place, so the very first agent init in a Gateway process
poisoned the cache, and every subsequent init appended LCM schemas
again on top of the already-polluted list.
- run_agent.py's context-engine injection (lcm_grep / lcm_describe /
lcm_expand) had no dedup, unlike the memory-tools injection right
above it which already skips already-present names.
Fix (defense in depth, per the issue's suggested fix)
- model_tools.get_tool_definitions: on the uncached branch, cache the
computed list but return list(result) to the caller. Same pattern as
the cache-hit path.
- run_agent.py: build _existing_tool_names from self.tools and skip
schemas whose names are already present, mirroring the memory-tools
block. This also defends against plugin paths that may register the
same schemas via ctx.register_tool().
Tests (tests/test_get_tool_definitions_cache_isolation.py)
- test_first_uncached_call_returns_fresh_list \u2014 pins the fix; without
it, first-call alias caused all the symptoms.
- test_cache_hit_returns_fresh_list \u2014 pre-existing behavior stays.
- test_caller_mutation_does_not_poison_cache \u2014 simulates run_agent
appending lcm_grep / lcm_expand to the returned list and asserts the
next call doesn't see them.
- test_repeated_caller_mutation_does_not_accumulate \u2014 reproduces the
long-lived Gateway accumulation pattern across 5 agent inits.
- test_non_quiet_mode_does_not_use_cache \u2014 sanity, explains why TUI
was fine.
5/5 pass on the new file; 23/23 still pass on tests/test_model_tools.py.
fix(entry-points): guard hermes_bootstrap import so partial updates don't brick hermes (#22091)
teknium1 hit ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'hermes_bootstrap' after
a code update, on both his Windows machine AND his Linux workstation. The
failure mode is real and affects every user who updates hermes by any path
OTHER than a fully-successful hermes update.
## What happens
hermes_bootstrap.py is a top-level module registered via pyproject.toml's
py-modules list (added by Brooklyn's Windows UTF-8 stdio work). It
must be registered in the venv's editable-install .pth file before Python
can find it as a bare import hermes_bootstrap.
hermes update handles this correctly: (1) git reset --hard, (2) clear
__pycache__, (3) uv pip install -e . (re-registers the package including
the new py-modules list), (4) restart.
BUT if any step AFTER (1) fails — network blip during pip install, PEP 668
on a system Python, venv locked, uv not in PATH, a crash mid-update — the
user is left with new code that references hermes_bootstrap and a venv
that doesn't know about it. Every hermes invocation after that crashes
with ModuleNotFoundError, including hermes update itself. No recovery
path without manual uv pip install -e ..
Also affects users who git pull the repo directly without running
hermes update — relatively common for developers.
## Fix
Wrap import hermes_bootstrap in a try/except ModuleNotFoundError
across all 6 entry points (hermes_cli/main, run_agent, gateway/run,
acp_adapter/entry, cli, batch_runner). On Windows, missing bootstrap
means the UTF-8 stdio setup doesn't run — degraded behavior (Unicode
chars may fail to print) but NOT a crash. POSIX is unaffected either way
since the bootstrap is a no-op there.
Once hermes is running again, the user can hermes update to fully
recover.
## Test update
tests/test_hermes_bootstrap.py::test_entry_point_imports_bootstrap
scans for the first top-level import in each entry point and asserts it
is hermes_bootstrap. Extended the check to accept a Try block whose body
is a lone Import of hermes_bootstrap — that's the recovery-friendly form
we just introduced.
Verified behavior by mv hermes_bootstrap.py hermes_bootstrap.py.bak
and confirming python -c "import hermes_cli.main" succeeds. 82/82
tests pass (hermes_bootstrap + windows-native + windows-compat).
fix(constants): warn once when get_hermes_home() falls back under an active profile (#18746)
When HERMES_HOME is unset but ~/.hermes/active_profile names a non-default
profile, any data this process writes lands in the default profile — not the
one the operator expects. Before this change the fallback was silent, so
cross-profile contamination (#18594) was invisible until a user noticed
their memory/state ended up in the wrong place.
Now we emit a one-shot warning to stderr the first time this happens in
a process. No raise — there are 30+ module-level callers of get_hermes_home()
and raising from any of them would brick import. Behavior is otherwise
unchanged; subprocess spawners (systemd template, kanban dispatcher, docker
entrypoint) already propagate HERMES_HOME correctly.
Bypasses logging.getLogger() because this runs before logging is configured
in a significant fraction of callers (module import time).
Refs #18594. Credit to @liuhao1024 for surfacing the silent-fallback case
in PR #18600; we kept the diagnostic signal without the import-time raise.
fix(tests): catch up 25 stale tests after recent merges (#28626)
Sweep of all CI failures on origin/main, grouped by drift source:
Telegram allowlist gate (db50af910 added user-authz to _should_process_message):
- Hardcoded "[Telegram]" prefix in the logger.warning so the call no
longer dereferences self.name → self.platform, which test fixtures
built via object.__new__ never set.
- test_telegram_format / test_allowed_channels_widening fixtures stub
_is_callback_user_authorized → True so the new gate doesn't reject
guest-mode / allowed-channels test messages.
- test_telegram_approval_buttons::test_update_prompt_callback_not_affected
sets TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS="*" so the fail-closed default doesn't
reject the callback before it writes .update_response.
Approval surface (6d495d9e7 renamed status, 214b95392 detached stdin):
- test_no_callback_returns_approval_required: status is now
"pending_approval" (was "approval_required").
- test_close_stdin_allows_eof_driven_process_to_finish: switch to
use_pty=True; non-PTY now uses stdin=DEVNULL.
Mattermost (send() now resolves root_id via _api_get first):
- test_send_with_thread_reply mocks _session.get with a thread-root
response so the new resolver doesn't TypeError on a bare AsyncMock.
Kanban (d8ad431de rename, f55d94a1e review column, _kanban_worker_skill_available):
- _safe_int → _to_epoch in the two test_kanban_db tests.
- Spawn-skills tests (×3) monkey-patch _kanban_worker_skill_available
to True since the isolated kanban_home fixture has no devops/kanban-worker tree.
- test_gateway_dispatcher_disables_corrupt_board: connect count
3 → 5 (review-column probe now also runs per tick).
Aux-config severity at_or_above (a94ddd807):
- test_diagnostics_endpoint_severity_filter expects warning filter to
include error+critical now (was exact-match).
Anthropic error handling (conversation loop extracted from run_agent):
- _no_backoff_wait fixture patches BOTH run_agent.jittered_backoff AND
agent.conversation_loop.jittered_backoff. The latter is the actual
call site; without the second patch tests burn ~2s per retry and
hit the 30s SIGALRM timeout on CI.
Other test pollution / drift:
- test_auto_does_not_select_copilot_from_github_token: patch
agent.bedrock_adapter.has_aws_credentials → False so boto3's
credential chain can't auto-pick Bedrock from developer ~/.aws.
- test_setup_openclaw_migration: patch hermes_cli.gateway.get_env_value
in addition to setup_mod.get_env_value — _platform_status reads
through the gateway module's binding.
- test_gateway_prefix: COMPONENT_PREFIXES["gateway"] now includes
"hermes_plugins" too.
- test_recommended_update_command_defaults_to_hermes_update: also
short-circuit get_managed_update_command in case a stray
~/.hermes/.managed marker is present.
- test_user_id_is_not_explicit: _parse_target_ref now returns
is_explicit=False for Slack U.../W... IDs (chat.postMessage rejects
them — a DM must be opened first via conversations.open).
fix(sqlite): fall back to journal_mode=DELETE on NFS/SMB/FUSE (#22043)
SQLite's WAL mode requires shared-memory (mmap) coordination and fcntl
byte-range locks that don't reliably work on network filesystems. Upstream
documents this explicitly:
https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html#sometimes_queries_return_sqlite_busy_in_wal_mode
On NFS / SMB / some FUSE mounts / WSL1, 'PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL' raises
'sqlite3.OperationalError: locking protocol' (SQLITE_PROTOCOL). Before
this change, every feature backed by state.db or kanban.db broke silently:
- /resume, /title, /history, /branch returned 'Session database not
available.' with no cause
- gateway logged the init failure at DEBUG (invisible in errors.log)
- kanban dispatcher crashed every 60s, driving the known migration race
(duplicate column name: consecutive_failures, #21708 / #21374)
Changes:
- hermes_state.apply_wal_with_fallback(): shared helper that tries WAL
and falls back to DELETE on SQLITE_PROTOCOL-style errors with one
WARNING explaining why
- hermes_state.get_last_init_error() + format_session_db_unavailable():
capture the init failure cause and surface it in user-facing strings
(with an NFS/SMB pointer for 'locking protocol')
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.connect(): use the shared helper
- gateway/run.py: bump SessionDB init failure log DEBUG -> WARNING
(matches cli.py's existing correct behavior)
- cli.py (4 sites) + gateway/run.py (5 sites): replace bare
'Session database not available.' with format_session_db_unavailable()
Tests: 12 new tests in tests/test_hermes_state_wal_fallback.py + 1 new
test in tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_db.py. Existing suites (state,
kanban, gateway, cli) remain green for all tests unrelated to pre-existing
failures on main.
Evidence: real-world user on NFSv3 mount (172.26.224.200:d2dfac12/home,
local_lock=none) reporting 'Session database not available.' on /resume;
'locking protocol' appears in 4 distinct log entries across backup,
kanban, TUI, and CLI paths in the same session.
closes #22032
feat(memory): pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation, review fixes, and honcho CLI restoration (#4623)
* feat(memory): add pluggable memory provider interface with profile isolation
Introduces a pluggable MemoryProvider ABC so external memory backends can
integrate with Hermes without modifying core files. Each backend becomes a
plugin implementing a standard interface, orchestrated by MemoryManager.
Key architecture:
- agent/memory_provider.py — ABC with core + optional lifecycle hooks
- agent/memory_manager.py — single integration point in the agent loop
- agent/builtin_memory_provider.py — wraps existing MEMORY.md/USER.md
Profile isolation fixes applied to all 6 shipped plugins:
- Cognitive Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- Hindsight Memory: check $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json first,
fall back to legacy ~/.hindsight/ for backward compat
- Hermes Memory Store: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with
get_hermes_home() for config loading and DB path defaults
- Mem0 Memory: use get_hermes_home() instead of raw env var
- RetainDB Memory: auto-derive profile-scoped project name from
hermes_home path (hermes-<profile>), explicit env var overrides
- OpenViking Memory: read-only, no local state, isolation via .env
MemoryManager.initialize_all() now injects hermes_home into kwargs so
every provider can resolve profile-scoped storage without importing
get_hermes_home() themselves.
Plugin system: adds register_memory_provider() to PluginContext and
get_plugin_memory_providers() accessor.
Based on PR #3825. 46 tests (37 unit + 5 E2E + 4 plugin registration).
* refactor(memory): drop cognitive plugin, rewrite OpenViking as full provider
Remove cognitive-memory plugin (#727) — core mechanics are broken:
decay runs 24x too fast (hourly not daily), prefetch uses row ID as
timestamp, search limited by importance not similarity.
Rewrite openviking-memory plugin from a read-only search wrapper into
a full bidirectional memory provider using the complete OpenViking
session lifecycle API:
- sync_turn: records user/assistant messages to OpenViking session
(threaded, non-blocking)
- on_session_end: commits session to trigger automatic memory extraction
into 6 categories (profile, preferences, entities, events, cases,
patterns)
- prefetch: background semantic search via find() endpoint
- on_memory_write: mirrors built-in memory writes to the session
- is_available: checks env var only, no network calls (ABC compliance)
Tools expanded from 3 to 5:
- viking_search: semantic search with mode/scope/limit
- viking_read: tiered content (abstract ~100tok / overview ~2k / full)
- viking_browse: filesystem-style navigation (list/tree/stat)
- viking_remember: explicit memory storage via session
- viking_add_resource: ingest URLs/docs into knowledge base
Uses direct HTTP via httpx (no openviking SDK dependency needed).
Response truncation on viking_read to prevent context flooding.
* fix(memory): harden Mem0 plugin — thread safety, non-blocking sync, circuit breaker
- Remove redundant mem0_context tool (identical to mem0_search with
rerank=true, top_k=5 — wastes a tool slot and confuses the model)
- Thread sync_turn so it's non-blocking — Mem0's server-side LLM
extraction can take 5-10s, was stalling the agent after every turn
- Add threading.Lock around _get_client() for thread-safe lazy init
(prefetch and sync threads could race on first client creation)
- Add circuit breaker: after 5 consecutive API failures, pause calls
for 120s instead of hammering a down server every turn. Auto-resets
after cooldown. Logs a warning when tripped.
- Track success/failure in prefetch, sync_turn, and all tool calls
- Wait for previous sync to finish before starting a new one (prevents
unbounded thread accumulation on rapid turns)
- Clean up shutdown to join both prefetch and sync threads
* fix(memory): enforce single external memory provider limit
MemoryManager now rejects a second non-builtin provider with a warning.
Built-in memory (MEMORY.md/USER.md) is always accepted. Only ONE
external plugin provider is allowed at a time. This prevents tool
schema bloat (some providers add 3-5 tools each) and conflicting
memory backends.
The warning message directs users to configure memory.provider in
config.yaml to select which provider to activate.
Updated all 47 tests to use builtin + one external pattern instead
of multiple externals. Added test_second_external_rejected to verify
the enforcement.
* feat(memory): add ByteRover memory provider plugin
Implements the ByteRover integration (from PR #3499 by hieuntg81) as a
MemoryProvider plugin instead of direct run_agent.py modifications.
ByteRover provides persistent memory via the brv CLI — a hierarchical
knowledge tree with tiered retrieval (fuzzy text then LLM-driven search).
Local-first with optional cloud sync.
Plugin capabilities:
- prefetch: background brv query for relevant context
- sync_turn: curate conversation turns (threaded, non-blocking)
- on_memory_write: mirror built-in memory writes to brv
- on_pre_compress: extract insights before context compression
Tools (3):
- brv_query: search the knowledge tree
- brv_curate: store facts/decisions/patterns
- brv_status: check CLI version and context tree state
Profile isolation: working directory at $HERMES_HOME/byterover/ (scoped
per profile). Binary resolution cached with thread-safe double-checked
locking. All write operations threaded to avoid blocking the agent
(curate can take 120s with LLM processing).
* fix(memory): thread remaining sync_turns, fix holographic, add config key
Plugin fixes:
- Hindsight: thread sync_turn (was blocking up to 30s via _run_in_thread)
- RetainDB: thread sync_turn (was blocking on HTTP POST)
- Both: shutdown now joins sync threads alongside prefetch threads
Holographic retrieval fixes:
- reason(): removed dead intersection_key computation (bundled but never
used in scoring). Now reuses pre-computed entity_residuals directly,
moved role_content encoding outside the inner loop.
- contradict(): added _MAX_CONTRADICT_FACTS=500 scaling guard. Above
500 facts, only checks the most recently updated ones to avoid O(n^2)
explosion (~125K comparisons at 500 is acceptable).
Config:
- Added memory.provider key to DEFAULT_CONFIG ("" = builtin only).
No version bump needed (deep_merge handles new keys automatically).
* feat(memory): extract Honcho as a MemoryProvider plugin
Creates plugins/honcho-memory/ as a thin adapter over the existing
honcho_integration/ package. All 4 Honcho tools (profile, search,
context, conclude) move from the normal tool registry to the
MemoryProvider interface.
The plugin delegates all work to HonchoSessionManager — no Honcho
logic is reimplemented. It uses the existing config chain:
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json -> ~/.honcho/config.json -> env vars.
Lifecycle hooks:
- initialize: creates HonchoSessionManager via existing client factory
- prefetch: background dialectic query
- sync_turn: records messages + flushes to API (threaded)
- on_memory_write: mirrors user profile writes as conclusions
- on_session_end: flushes all pending messages
This is a prerequisite for the MemoryManager wiring in run_agent.py.
Once wired, Honcho goes through the same provider interface as all
other memory plugins, and the scattered Honcho code in run_agent.py
can be consolidated into the single MemoryManager integration point.
* feat(memory): wire MemoryManager into run_agent.py
Adds 8 integration points for the external memory provider plugin,
all purely additive (zero existing code modified):
1. Init (~L1130): Create MemoryManager, find matching plugin provider
from memory.provider config, initialize with session context
2. Tool injection (~L1160): Append provider tool schemas to self.tools
and self.valid_tool_names after memory_manager init
3. System prompt (~L2705): Add external provider's system_prompt_block
alongside existing MEMORY.md/USER.md blocks
4. Tool routing (~L5362): Route provider tool calls through
memory_manager.handle_tool_call() before the catchall handler
5. Memory write bridge (~L5353): Notify external provider via
on_memory_write() when the built-in memory tool writes
6. Pre-compress (~L5233): Call on_pre_compress() before context
compression discards messages
7. Prefetch (~L6421): Inject provider prefetch results into the
current-turn user message (same pattern as Honcho turn context)
8. Turn sync + session end (~L8161, ~L8172): sync_all() after each
completed turn, queue_prefetch_all() for next turn, on_session_end()
+ shutdown_all() at conversation end
All hooks are wrapped in try/except — a failing provider never breaks
the agent. The existing memory system, Honcho integration, and all
other code paths are completely untouched.
Full suite: 7222 passed, 4 pre-existing failures.
* refactor(memory): remove legacy Honcho integration from core
Extracts all Honcho-specific code from run_agent.py, model_tools.py,
toolsets.py, and gateway/run.py. Honcho is now exclusively available
as a memory provider plugin (plugins/honcho-memory/).
Removed from run_agent.py (-457 lines):
- Honcho init block (session manager creation, activation, config)
- 8 Honcho methods: _honcho_should_activate, _strip_honcho_tools,
_activate_honcho, _register_honcho_exit_hook, _queue_honcho_prefetch,
_honcho_prefetch, _honcho_save_user_observation, _honcho_sync
- _inject_honcho_turn_context module-level function
- Honcho system prompt block (tool descriptions, CLI commands)
- Honcho context injection in api_messages building
- Honcho params from __init__ (honcho_session_key, honcho_manager,
honcho_config)
- HONCHO_TOOL_NAMES constant
- All honcho-specific tool dispatch forwarding
Removed from other files:
- model_tools.py: honcho_tools import, honcho params from handle_function_call
- toolsets.py: honcho toolset definition, honcho tools from core tools list
- gateway/run.py: honcho params from AIAgent constructor calls
Removed tests (-339 lines):
- 9 Honcho-specific test methods from test_run_agent.py
- TestHonchoAtexitFlush class from test_exit_cleanup_interrupt.py
Restored two regex constants (_SURROGATE_RE, _BUDGET_WARNING_RE) that
were accidentally removed during the honcho function extraction.
The honcho_integration/ package is kept intact — the plugin delegates
to it. tools/honcho_tools.py registry entries are now dead code (import
commented out in model_tools.py) but the file is preserved for reference.
Full suite: 7207 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* refactor(memory): restructure plugins, add CLI, clean gateway, migration notice
Plugin restructure:
- Move all memory plugins from plugins/<name>-memory/ to plugins/memory/<name>/
(byterover, hindsight, holographic, honcho, mem0, openviking, retaindb)
- New plugins/memory/__init__.py discovery module that scans the directory
directly, loading providers by name without the general plugin system
- run_agent.py uses load_memory_provider() instead of get_plugin_memory_providers()
CLI wiring:
- hermes memory setup — interactive curses picker + config wizard
- hermes memory status — show active provider, config, availability
- hermes memory off — disable external provider (built-in only)
- hermes honcho — now shows migration notice pointing to hermes memory setup
Gateway cleanup:
- Remove _get_or_create_gateway_honcho (already removed in prev commit)
- Remove _shutdown_gateway_honcho and _shutdown_all_gateway_honcho methods
- Remove all calls to shutdown methods (4 call sites)
- Remove _honcho_managers/_honcho_configs dict references
Dead code removal:
- Delete tools/honcho_tools.py (279 lines, import was already commented out)
- Delete tests/gateway/test_honcho_lifecycle.py (131 lines, tested removed methods)
- Remove if False placeholder from run_agent.py
Migration:
- Honcho migration notice on startup: detects existing honcho.json or
~/.honcho/config.json, prints guidance to run hermes memory setup.
Only fires when memory.provider is not set and not in quiet mode.
Full suite: 7203 passed, 4 pre-existing failures. Zero regressions.
* feat(memory): standardize plugin config + add per-plugin documentation
Config architecture:
- Add save_config(values, hermes_home) to MemoryProvider ABC
- Honcho: writes to $HERMES_HOME/honcho.json (SDK native)
- Mem0: writes to $HERMES_HOME/mem0.json
- Hindsight: writes to $HERMES_HOME/hindsight/config.json
- Holographic: writes to config.yaml under plugins.hermes-memory-store
- OpenViking/RetainDB/ByteRover: env-var only (default no-op)
Setup wizard (hermes memory setup):
- Now calls provider.save_config() for non-secret config
- Secrets still go to .env via env vars
- Only memory.provider activation key goes to config.yaml
Documentation:
- README.md for each of the 7 providers in plugins/memory/<name>/
- Requirements, setup (wizard + manual), config reference, tools table
- Consistent format across all providers
The contract for new memory plugins:
- get_config_schema() declares all fields (REQUIRED)
- save_config() writes native config (REQUIRED if not env-var-only)
- Secrets use env_var field in schema, written to .env by wizard
- README.md in the plugin directory
* docs: add memory providers user guide + developer guide
New pages:
- user-guide/features/memory-providers.md — comprehensive guide covering
all 7 shipped providers (Honcho, OpenViking, Mem0, Hindsight,
Holographic, RetainDB, ByteRover). Each with setup, config, tools,
cost, and unique features. Includes comparison table and profile
isolation notes.
- developer-guide/memory-provider-plugin.md — how to build a new memory
provider plugin. Covers ABC, required methods, config schema,
save_config, threading contract, profile isolation, testing.
Updated pages:
- user-guide/features/memory.md — replaced Honcho section with link to
new Memory Providers page
- user-guide/features/honcho.md — replaced with migration redirect to
the new Memory Providers page
- sidebars.ts — added both new pages to navigation
* fix(memory): auto-migrate Honcho users to memory provider plugin
When honcho.json or ~/.honcho/config.json exists but memory.provider
is not set, automatically set memory.provider: honcho in config.yaml
and activate the plugin. The plugin reads the same config files, so
all data and credentials are preserved. Zero user action needed.
Persists the migration to config.yaml so it only fires once. Prints
a one-line confirmation in non-quiet mode.
* fix(memory): only auto-migrate Honcho when enabled + credentialed
Check HonchoClientConfig.enabled AND (api_key OR base_url) before
auto-migrating — not just file existence. Prevents false activation
for users who disabled Honcho, stopped using it (config lingers),
or have ~/.honcho/ from a different tool.
* feat(memory): auto-install pip dependencies during hermes memory setup
Reads pip_dependencies from plugin.yaml, checks which are missing,
installs them via pip before config walkthrough. Also shows install
guidance for external_dependencies (e.g. brv CLI for ByteRover).
Updated all 7 plugin.yaml files with pip_dependencies:
- honcho: honcho-ai
- mem0: mem0ai
- openviking: httpx
- hindsight: hindsight-client
- holographic: (none)
- retaindb: requests
- byterover: (external_dependencies for brv CLI)
* fix: remove remaining Honcho crash risks from cli.py and gateway
cli.py: removed Honcho session re-mapping block (would crash importing
deleted tools/honcho_tools.py), Honcho flush on compress, Honcho
session display on startup, Honcho shutdown on exit, honcho_session_key
AIAgent param.
gateway/run.py: removed honcho_session_key params from helper methods,
sync_honcho param, _honcho.shutdown() block.
tests: fixed test_cron_session_with_honcho_key_skipped (was passing
removed honcho_key param to _flush_memories_for_session).
* fix: include plugins/ in pyproject.toml package list
Without this, plugins/memory/ wouldn't be included in non-editable
installs. Hermes always runs from the repo checkout so this is belt-
and-suspenders, but prevents breakage if the install method changes.
* fix(memory): correct pip-to-import name mapping for dep checks
The heuristic dep.replace('-', '_') fails for packages where the pip
name differs from the import name: honcho-ai→honcho, mem0ai→mem0,
hindsight-client→hindsight_client. Added explicit mapping table so
hermes memory setup doesn't try to reinstall already-installed packages.
* chore: remove dead code from old plugin memory registration path
- hermes_cli/plugins.py: removed register_memory_provider(),
_memory_providers list, get_plugin_memory_providers() — memory
providers now use plugins/memory/ discovery, not the general plugin system
- hermes_cli/main.py: stripped 74 lines of dead honcho argparse
subparsers (setup, status, sessions, map, peer, mode, tokens,
identity, migrate) — kept only the migration redirect
- agent/memory_provider.py: updated docstring to reflect new
registration path
- tests: replaced TestPluginMemoryProviderRegistration with
TestPluginMemoryDiscovery that tests the actual plugins/memory/
discovery system. Added 3 new tests (discover, load, nonexistent).
* chore: delete dead honcho_integration/cli.py and its tests
cli.py (794 lines) was the old 'hermes honcho' command handler — nobody
calls it since cmd_honcho was replaced with a migration redirect.
Deleted tests that imported from removed code:
- tests/honcho_integration/test_cli.py (tested _resolve_api_key)
- tests/honcho_integration/test_config_isolation.py (tested CLI config paths)
- tests/tools/test_honcho_tools.py (tested the deleted tools/honcho_tools.py)
Remaining honcho_integration/ files (actively used by the plugin):
- client.py (445 lines) — config loading, SDK client creation
- session.py (991 lines) — session management, queries, flush
* refactor: move honcho_integration/ into the honcho plugin
Moves client.py (445 lines) and session.py (991 lines) from the
top-level honcho_integration/ package into plugins/memory/honcho/.
No Honcho code remains in the main codebase.
- plugins/memory/honcho/client.py — config loading, SDK client creation
- plugins/memory/honcho/session.py — session management, queries, flush
- Updated all imports: run_agent.py (auto-migration), hermes_cli/doctor.py,
plugin __init__.py, session.py cross-import, all tests
- Removed honcho_integration/ package and pyproject.toml entry
- Renamed tests/honcho_integration/ → tests/honcho_plugin/
* docs: update architecture + gateway-internals for memory provider system
- architecture.md: replaced honcho_integration/ with plugins/memory/
- gateway-internals.md: replaced Honcho-specific session routing and
flush lifecycle docs with generic memory provider interface docs
* fix: update stale mock path for resolve_active_host after honcho plugin migration
* fix(memory): address review feedback — P0 lifecycle, ABC contract, honcho CLI restore
Review feedback from Honcho devs (erosika):
P0 — Provider lifecycle:
- Remove on_session_end() + shutdown_all() from run_conversation() tail
(was killing providers after every turn in multi-turn sessions)
- Add shutdown_memory_provider() method on AIAgent for callers
- Wire shutdown into CLI atexit, reset_conversation, gateway stop/expiry
Bug fixes:
- Remove sync_honcho=False kwarg from /btw callsites (TypeError crash)
- Fix doctor.py references to dead 'hermes honcho setup' command
- Cache prefetch_all() before tool loop (was re-calling every iteration)
ABC contract hardening (all backwards-compatible):
- Add session_id kwarg to prefetch/sync_turn/queue_prefetch
- Make on_pre_compress() return str (provider insights in compression)
- Add **kwargs to on_turn_start() for runtime context
- Add on_delegation() hook for parent-side subagent observation
- Document agent_context/agent_identity/agent_workspace kwargs on
initialize() (prevents cron corruption, enables profile scoping)
- Fix docstring: single external provider, not multiple
Honcho CLI restoration:
- Add plugins/memory/honcho/cli.py (from main's honcho_integration/cli.py
with imports adapted to plugin path)
- Restore full hermes honcho command with all subcommands (status, peer,
mode, tokens, identity, enable/disable, sync, peers, --target-profile)
- Restore auto-clone on profile creation + sync on hermes update
- hermes honcho setup now redirects to hermes memory setup
* fix(memory): wire on_delegation, skip_memory for cron/flush, fix ByteRover return type
- Wire on_delegation() in delegate_tool.py — parent's memory provider
is notified with task+result after each subagent completes
- Add skip_memory=True to cron scheduler (prevents cron system prompts
from corrupting user representations — closes #4052)
- Add skip_memory=True to gateway flush agent (throwaway agent shouldn't
activate memory provider)
- Fix ByteRover on_pre_compress() return type: None -> str
* fix(honcho): port profile isolation fixes from PR #4632
Ports 5 bug fixes found during profile testing (erosika's PR #4632):
1. 3-tier config resolution — resolve_config_path() now checks
$HERMES_HOME/honcho.json → ~/.hermes/honcho.json → ~/.honcho/config.json
(non-default profiles couldn't find shared host blocks)
2. Thread host=_host_key() through from_global_config() in cmd_setup,
cmd_status, cmd_identity (--target-profile was being ignored)
3. Use bare profile name as aiPeer (not host key with dots) — Honcho's
peer ID pattern is ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$, dots are invalid
4. Wrap add_peers() in try/except — was fatal on new AI peers, killed
all message uploads for the session
5. Gate Honcho clone behind --clone/--clone-all on profile create
(bare create should be blank-slate)
Also: sanitize assistant_peer_id via _sanitize_id()
* fix(tests): add module cleanup fixture to test_cli_provider_resolution
test_cli_provider_resolution._import_cli() wipes tools.*, cli, and
run_agent from sys.modules to force fresh imports, but had no cleanup.
This poisoned all subsequent tests on the same xdist worker — mocks
targeting tools.file_tools, tools.send_message_tool, etc. patched the
NEW module object while already-imported functions still referenced
the OLD one. Caused ~25 cascade failures: send_message KeyError,
process_registry FileNotFoundError, file_read_guards timeouts,
read_loop_detection file-not-found, mcp_oauth None port, and
provider_parity/codex_execution stale tool lists.
Fix: autouse fixture saves all affected modules before each test and
restores them after, matching the pattern in
test_managed_browserbase_and_modal.py.
fix(install): support non-sudo service-user installs on apt distros (#25814)
The Debian/Ubuntu branch of install_node_deps() ran 'npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium' unconditionally. Playwright invokes sudo interactively
to apt-install Chromium's system libraries, which blocks the installer for
non-sudo users (systemd service accounts, unprivileged operator users) on
an unsatisfiable password prompt.
Changes:
- install.sh: gate --with-deps behind a sudo capability check on the apt
branch (matches the existing Arch/pacman branch pattern). Non-sudo users
fall back to 'npx playwright install chromium' alone and the installer
prints the exact 'sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium' command an
administrator can run separately.
- install.sh: add --skip-browser (alias --no-playwright) to skip the
Playwright step entirely for headless installs that don't need browser
automation. Mirrors the existing --no-venv / --skip-setup shape.
- installation.md: add a 'Non-Sudo / System Service User Installs' section
covering the admin/service-user split, the --skip-browser flag, and the
~/.local/bin PATH gotcha (the root cause of the 'No module named dotenv'
error users hit when running the repo source 'hermes' script with system
Python instead of the venv launcher).
- test_install_sh_browser_install.py: regression coverage for the
--skip-browser flag and the sudo-gate on the apt branch.
Reported by @ssilver in Discord.
fix(install): widen /dev/tty open-probe to sibling gates (#16746)
The contributor's PR (#16750) scoped the fix to run_setup_wizard() and
explicitly punted the two sibling sites. Both have the identical
[ -e /dev/tty ] pattern followed by a < /dev/tty redirect and crash in
Docker the same way:
- scripts/install.sh:732 install_system_packages() -- apt sudo prompt
fallback. sudo ... < /dev/tty dies with the same ENXIO.
- scripts/install.sh:1395 maybe_start_gateway() -- gateway-install gate,
same function path as the wizard reproducer.
Fix both with the same (: </dev/tty) 2>/dev/null probe, and parametrize
the regression test over all three gated functions so any future
regression is caught regardless of which site breaks.
feat: add network.force_ipv4 config to fix IPv6 timeout issues (#8196)
On servers with broken or unreachable IPv6, Python's socket.getaddrinfo
returns AAAA records first. urllib/httpx/requests all try IPv6 connections
first and hang for the full TCP timeout before falling back to IPv4. This
affects web_extract, web_search, the OpenAI SDK, and all HTTP tools.
Adds network.force_ipv4 config option (default: false) that monkey-patches
socket.getaddrinfo to resolve as AF_INET when the caller didn't specify a
family. Falls back to full resolution if no A record exists, so pure-IPv6
hosts still work.
Applied early at all three entry points (CLI, gateway, cron scheduler)
before any HTTP clients are created.
Reported by user @29n — Chinese Ubuntu server with unreachable IPv6 causing
timeouts on lobste.rs and other IPv6-enabled sites while Google/GitHub
worked fine (IPv4-only resolution).
fix: resolve lazy session creation regressions (#18370 fallout) (#20363)
Fix three regressions introduced by PR #18370 (lazy session creation):
1. _finalize_session() uses stale session_key after compression (#20001)
2. session_key not synced after auto-compression in run_conversation (#20001)
3. pending_title ValueError leaves title wedged forever (#19029)
4. Gateway silently swallows null responses when agent did work (#18765)
5. One-time cleanup for accumulated ghost compression continuations (#20001)
Changes:
- tui_gateway/server.py: _finalize_session() now uses agent.session_id
(falls back to session_key when agent is None). Refactor
_sync_session_key_after_compress() with clear_pending_title and
restart_slash_worker policy flags. Call it post-run_conversation()
to sync session_key after auto-compression. Add ValueError handler
to pending_title flush.
- gateway/run.py: Extract _normalize_empty_agent_response() helper that
consolidates failed/partial/null response handling. Surfaces user-facing
error when agent did work (api_calls > 0) but returned no text.
- hermes_state.py: Add finalize_orphaned_compression_sessions() — marks
ghost continuation sessions as ended (non-destructive, preserves data).
- cli.py: One-time startup migration for orphaned compression sessions.
Test changes:
- tests/test_tui_gateway_server.py: Update pending_title ValueError test
for post-#18370 architecture (title applied post-message, not at create).
- tests/test_lazy_session_regressions.py: 14 new regression tests covering
all fixed paths.
chore: ruff auto-fix PLR6201 resweep — tuple → set in membership tests (#27355)
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical x in (...) → x in {...} fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- ruff check clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).
fix(kimi): omit temperature entirely for Kimi/Moonshot models (#13157)
Kimi's gateway selects the correct temperature server-side based on the
active mode (thinking -> 1.0, non-thinking -> 0.6). Sending any
temperature value — even the previously "correct" one — conflicts with
gateway-managed defaults.
Replaces the old approach of forcing specific temperature values (0.6
for non-thinking, 1.0 for thinking) with an OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel
that tells all call sites to strip the temperature key from API kwargs
entirely.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel, _is_kimi_model()
prefix check (covers all kimi-* models), _fixed_temperature_for_model()
returns sentinel for kimi models. _build_call_kwargs() strips temp.
- run_agent.py: _build_api_kwargs, flush_memories, and summary generation
paths all handle the sentinel by popping/omitting temperature.
- trajectory_compressor.py: _effective_temperature_for_model returns None
for kimi (sentinel mapped), direct client calls use kwargs dict to
conditionally include temperature.
- mini_swe_runner.py: same sentinel handling via wrapper function.
- 6 test files updated: all 'forces temperature X' assertions replaced
with 'temperature not in kwargs' assertions.
Net: -76 lines (171 added, 247 removed).

fix(minimax-oauth): refresh short-lived access tokens per request (#30619)
* fix(minimax-oauth): refresh short-lived access tokens per request
MiniMax OAuth issues ~15-minute access tokens. The Anthropic SDK caches
api_key as a static string at client construction, so a session that
resolves credentials once at startup keeps sending the same bearer until
MiniMax returns 401 mid-session.
Swap the static string for a callable token provider, reusing the existing
Entra-ID bearer-hook infrastructure in build_anthropic_client. The callable
re-reads auth.json on each invocation and calls _refresh_minimax_oauth_state,
which is a no-op when the token still has more than 60s of life left and
refreshes proactively otherwise. Refreshes persist to auth.json so other
processes (gateway, cron) see them immediately.
The wire-up lives at the agent-init / model-switch boundary rather than in
resolve_runtime_provider, so aux client paths that hand the api_key string
to OpenAI(api_key=...) are unaffected.
* docs: add infographic for minimax-oauth token refresh
chore: remove all remaining mini-swe-agent references
Complete cleanup after dropping the mini-swe-agent submodule (PR #2804):
- Remove MSWEA_SILENT_STARTUP and MSWEA_GLOBAL_CONFIG_DIR env var
settings from cli.py, run_agent.py, hermes_cli/main.py, doctor.py
- Remove mini-swe-agent health check from hermes doctor
- Remove 'minisweagent' from logger suppression lists
- Remove litellm/typer/platformdirs from requirements.txt
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from install.ps1 (Windows)
- Remove mini-swe-agent install steps from website docs
- Update all stale comments/docstrings referencing mini-swe-agent
in terminal_tool.py, tools/__init__.py, code_execution_tool.py,
environments/README.md, environments/agent_loop.py
- Remove mini_swe_runner from pyproject.toml py-modules
(still exists as standalone script for RL training use)
- Shrink test_minisweagent_path.py to empty stub
The orphaned mini-swe-agent/ directory on disk needs manual removal:
rm -rf mini-swe-agent/
fix: CLI/UX batch — ChatConsole errors, curses scroll, skin-aware banner, git state banner (#5974)
* fix(cli): route error messages through ChatConsole inside patch_stdout
Cherry-pick of PR #5798 by @icn5381.
Replace self.console.print() with ChatConsole().print() for 11 error/status
messages reachable during the interactive session. Inside patch_stdout,
self.console (plain Rich Console) writes raw ANSI escapes that StdoutProxy
mangles into garbled text. ChatConsole uses prompt_toolkit's native
print_formatted_text which renders correctly.
Same class of bug as #2262 — that fix covered agent output but missed
these error paths in _ensure_runtime_credentials, _init_agent, quick
commands, skill loading, and plan mode.
* fix(model-picker): add scrolling viewport to curses provider menu
Cherry-pick of PR #5790 by @Lempkey. Fixes #5755.
_curses_prompt_choice rendered items starting unconditionally from index 0
with no scroll offset. The 'More providers' submenu has 13 entries. On
terminals shorter than ~16 rows, items past the fold were never drawn.
When UP-arrow wrapped cursor from 0 to the last item (Cancel, index 12),
the highlight rendered off-screen — appearing as if only Cancel existed.
Adds scroll_offset tracking that adjusts each frame to keep the cursor
inside the visible window.
* feat(cli): skin-aware compact banner + git state in startup banner
Combined salvage of PR #5922 by @ASRagab and PR #5877 by @xinbenlv.
Compact banner changes (from #5922):
- Read active skin colors and branding instead of hardcoding gold/NOUS HERMES
- Default skin preserves backward-compatible legacy branding
- Non-default skins use their own agent_name and colors
Git state in banner (from #5877):
- New format_banner_version_label() shows upstream/local git hashes
- Full banner title now includes git state (upstream hash, carried commits)
- Compact banner line2 shows the version label with git state
- Widen compact banner max width from 64 to 88 to fit version info
Both the full Rich banner and compact fallback are now skin-aware
and show git state.
fix: provider/model resolution — salvage 4 PRs + MiniMax aux URL fix (#5983)
Salvaged fixes from community PRs:
- fix(model_switch): _read_auth_store → _load_auth_store + fix auth store
key lookup (was checking top-level dict instead of store['providers']).
OAuth providers now correctly detected in /model picker.
Cherry-picked from PR #5911 by Xule Lin (linxule).
- fix(ollama): pass num_ctx to override 2048 default context window.
Ollama defaults to 2048 context regardless of model capabilities. Now
auto-detects from /api/show metadata and injects num_ctx into every
request. Config override via model.ollama_num_ctx. Fixes #2708.
Cherry-picked from PR #5929 by kshitij (kshitijk4poor).
- fix(aux): normalize provider aliases for vision/auxiliary routing.
Adds _normalize_aux_provider() with 17 aliases (google→gemini,
claude→anthropic, glm→zai, etc). Fixes vision routing failure when
provider is set to 'google' instead of 'gemini'.
Cherry-picked from PR #5793 by e11i (Elizabeth1979).
- fix(aux): rewrite MiniMax /anthropic base URLs to /v1 for OpenAI SDK.
MiniMax's inference_base_url ends in /anthropic (Anthropic Messages API),
but auxiliary client uses OpenAI SDK which appends /chat/completions →
404 at /anthropic/chat/completions. Generic _to_openai_base_url() helper
rewrites terminal /anthropic to /v1 for OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
Inspired by PR #5786 by Lempkey.
Added debug logging to silent exception blocks across all fixes.

fix(update): make Camofox lazy-installed instead of eager (#27055)
The @askjo/camofox-browser npm package was a top-level entry in
the root package.jsondependencies block, so hermes update
ran its postinstall on every user, every update. That postinstall
calls npx camoufox-js fetch, which silently downloads a ~300MB
Firefox-fork browser binary from GitHub Releases — multi-minute on
fast connections, and a hard block for users on slow / restricted
networks (notably users in China running through a VPN).
Camofox is an explicit opt-in browser backend. The runtime check
in tools/browser_tool.py only routes through Camofox when the
user has set CAMOFOX_URL (selected via hermes tools →
Browser Automation → Camofox). Users who never opted in never
touched the package at runtime, yet every hermes update paid
for the binary fetch anyway.
This change:
* Removes @askjo/camofox-browser from root package.json
dependencies (and the regenerated package-lock.json drops
Camofox's entire transitive tree, ~2.6k lines).
* Updates the Camofox post_setup handler in
hermes_cli/tools_config.py to install
@askjo/camofox-browser@^1.5.2 explicitly when the user
selects Camofox, and streams npm output (no --silent, no
capture_output) so the ~300MB download is visible rather
than appearing frozen.
* Adds tests/test_package_json_lazy_deps.py as a regression
guard so future PRs can't silently re-add Camofox (or any
binary-postinstall package) to eager root dependencies.
agent-browser stays eager — it is the default Chromium-driving
backend used by every session that does not have a cloud browser
provider configured, and its postinstall is small.

test: use subprocesses for each test file (#29016)
* ci(tests): install ripgrep from prebuilt tarball instead of apt
apt-get update + install of ripgrep takes ~4 min on the GHA Ubuntu
runners (the apt-get update against archive.ubuntu.com is the slow
part; ripgrep itself is small). Switching to the upstream musl
binary tarball cuts the step to a few seconds.
- Pinned to ripgrep 15.1.0 with sha256 verification (same hash as
published in the releases sha256 sidecar file).
- Drops the rg binary into /usr/local/bin so it is on PATH for
every subsequent step without GITHUB_PATH manipulation.
- Applied to both the test and e2e jobs in tests.yml.
* fix(cli): compile syntax check to tempdir, not source __pycache__
_validate_critical_files_syntax runs py_compile.compile() on each
critical bootstrap file after a successful git pull. The default
py_compile writes the resulting .pyc next to the source under
__pycache__/, which causes two real problems:
1. Parallel test workers walking the same source tree (e.g. running
the suite under per-file process isolation) can race against each
other on the __pycache__ write — manifests as flaky 'directory
not empty' errors during teardown.
2. In production, the post-pull syntax check leaves a .pyc behind
that the next interpreter run might pick up — fine when the
interpreter version matches, sketchy if it doesn't.
Fix: write the compiled output to a tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()
that's discarded on function exit. We only care about the compile-or-not
signal, not the artifact.
* test(runner): per-file process isolation, drop manual state reset + xdist
Replace fragile manual _reset_module_state test fixtures with robust
per-file subprocess isolation. Each test file runs in a fresh
python -m pytest <file> subprocess via ThreadPoolExecutor. No xdist,
no custom pytest plugin, no shared worker state.
Key changes:
* scripts/run_tests_parallel.py — new runner: discovers test files,
runs N in parallel via ThreadPoolExecutor, captures stdout per file,
treats exit code 5 (no tests collected) as pass, kills all children
on exit. Change from cpu_count to cpu_count*2. The runner is
I/O-bound (waiting on subprocess.communicate() from pytest children)
The parent process does almost no CPU work, so 2x oversubscription
keeps more pipes full. When a file fails, immediately show the last
30 lines of pytest output (stack traces + FAILED summary) plus a
ready-to-copy repro command:
python -m pytest tests/agent/test_auxiliary_client.py
* scripts/run_tests.sh — delegates to run_tests_parallel.py
* .github/workflows/tests.yml — test step: python
scripts/run_tests_parallel.py
* pyproject.toml — drop pytest-xdist, pytest-split; simplify addopts
* tests/conftest.py — remove ~200 lines of manual state-reset fixtures
* AGENTS.md — update Testing section for per-file design
* test(runner): speed gateway test antipattern scan up
* fix(test): web search provider plugin test missing xai
* fix(tests): make 14 test files pass under per-file subprocess isolation
Tests that relied on cross-file state pollution from xdist workers
fail when run in isolation (per-file subprocess model). Root causes
and fixes:
Tool registry not populated:
- test_video_generation_tool_surface_matrix: add discover_builtin_tools()
- test_web_providers_brave_free/ddgs/searxng/general: autouse fixtures
registering all 8 bundled web providers, reset after each test
- test_website_policy: same provider registration pattern
- test_web_tools_tavily: same pattern across 3 dispatch test classes
- Also add is_safe_url/check_website_access mocks where SSRF check
blocks example.com (DNS resolution fails in isolated envs)
Stale check_fn cache:
- test_kanban_tools: invalidate_check_fn_cache() + _clear_tool_defs_cache()
in both kanban guidance tests (prior test cached False for kanban_show)
- test_discord_tool: cache invalidation in setup/teardown
- test_homeassistant_tool: invalidate_check_fn_cache() before registry queries
Module-level state pollution:
- test_auxiliary_client: autouse fixture clearing _aux_unhealthy_until cache
- test_skill_commands: set_session_vars() instead of patch.dict(os.environ)
(ContextVar takes precedence over os.environ)
- test_dm_topics: overwrite sys.modules + separate telegram.constants mock
+ force-reimport of gateway.platforms.telegram
- test_terminal_tool_requirements: removed duplicate class declaration,
autouse _clear_caches fixture
* change(tests): run_tests.sh explicitly includes env vars
instead of manually dropping some vars, now we just only include some
* fix(tests): 5 more isolation/NixOS fixes
- test_approval_plugin_hooks: isolate HERMES_HOME so real user's
command_allowlist doesn't short-circuit the approval path
- test_google_chat: skipif when Platform.GOOGLE_CHAT not in enum
(feature not merged on this branch)
- test_write_deny: test systemd prefix against tmp_path instead of
/etc/systemd which resolves to /nix/store on NixOS
- test_pty_bridge: use shutil.which('cat') instead of /bin/cat
(doesn't exist on NixOS)
- profiles.py: rmtree onexc handler chmod's parent dirs too, fixing
profile deletion when copytree preserved read-only modes from
nix store
* fix(tests): clear unhealthy cache in autouse fixture for auxiliary_client
* fix(tests): skip send_message when telegram not installed; handle missing worker_id in browser_supervisor
* fix: py3.11 rmtree onexc compat + belt-and-suspenders unhealthy cache clear for expired codex test
* fix: address PR #29016 review feedback
- Remove tracked .pytest-cache/ artifact and add to .gitignore
- Fix stale 'xdist worker' comment in conftest.py
- Deduplicate web provider registration into tests/tools/conftest.py
shared helper (register_all_web_providers), replacing 8 copy-pasted
blocks across 6 test files
- Update PR description: remove stale recovered-test-files claim,
fix worker count to match code (cpu_count*2)
* fix: eliminate race in stale-cache achievements test
The background scan thread could complete and overwrite _SNAPSHOT_CACHE
before evaluate_all() returned the stale data — only 10 fake sessions
made the scan finish instantly. Added scan_delay param to _FakeSessionDB
and set it to 2s in the stale-cache test so the background thread can't
win the race.
security: sanitize tool error strings before injecting into model context (#26823)
Adds _sanitize_tool_error() in model_tools and routes both error paths
through it: registry.dispatch's try/except (the primary path for tool
exceptions) and handle_function_call's outer except (defense in depth).
Stripping targets structural framing tokens that the model itself can
react to even though json.dumps already handles wire-layer escaping:
XML role tags (tool_call, function_call, result, response, output,
input, system, assistant, user), CDATA sections, and markdown code
fences. Caps message body at 2000 chars and wraps with [TOOL_ERROR]
prefix.
Defense-in-depth: a tool exception carrying '<tool_call>...' won't
break message framing (json escapes it), but the model still reads
those tokens and they nudge it toward role-confusion framing.
Ported from ironclaw#1639 (one piece of #3838's three-feature scout).
The truncated-tool-call (#1632) and empty-response-recovery (#1677,
#1720) pieces are skipped because main now implements both far more
thoroughly (run_agent.py L8147/L12209/L13012 for truncation retry +
length rewrite; L4500/L15090+ for empty-response scaffolding stripper,
multi-stage nudge, fallback model activation).
fix(security): eliminate SQL string formatting in execute() calls
Closes #1911
- insights.py: Pre-compute SELECT queries as class constants instead of
f-string interpolation at runtime. _SESSION_COLS is now evaluated once
at class definition time.
- hermes_state.py: Add identifier quoting and whitelist validation for
ALTER TABLE column names in schema migrations.
- Add 4 tests verifying no injection vectors in SQL query construction.
chore: ruff auto-fix PLR6201 resweep — tuple → set in membership tests (#27355)
Six days after #23937 (608 fixes) the codebase had accumulated 241 new
PLR6201 violations. Same mechanical x in (...) → x in {...} fix,
same zero-risk profile: set lookup is O(1) vs O(n) for tuple and the
two are semantically equivalent for hashable scalar membership tests.
All 241 instances fixed via `ruff check --select PLR6201 --fix
--unsafe-fixes`, zero remaining. Every changed value is a hashable
scalar (str/int/None/enum/signal); no risk of unhashable runtime
errors. No behavior change.
Test plan:
- 119 files changed, +244/-244 (net zero) — exactly one-line edits
- ruff check clean afterward
- Compile checks pass on the largest touched files (cli.py, run_agent.py,
gateway/run.py, gateway/platforms/discord.py, model_tools.py)
- Subset broad test run on tests/gateway/ tests/hermes_cli/ tests/agent/
tests/tools/: 18187 passed, 59 pre-existing failures (verified against
origin/main with the same shape — identical failure count, identical
category — all xdist test-order flakes unrelated to this change)
Follows the same template as PR #23937 ([tracker: #23972](https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent/issues/23972)).
fix(kimi): omit temperature entirely for Kimi/Moonshot models (#13157)
Kimi's gateway selects the correct temperature server-side based on the
active mode (thinking -> 1.0, non-thinking -> 0.6). Sending any
temperature value — even the previously "correct" one — conflicts with
gateway-managed defaults.
Replaces the old approach of forcing specific temperature values (0.6
for non-thinking, 1.0 for thinking) with an OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel
that tells all call sites to strip the temperature key from API kwargs
entirely.
Changes:
- agent/auxiliary_client.py: OMIT_TEMPERATURE sentinel, _is_kimi_model()
prefix check (covers all kimi-* models), _fixed_temperature_for_model()
returns sentinel for kimi models. _build_call_kwargs() strips temp.
- run_agent.py: _build_api_kwargs, flush_memories, and summary generation
paths all handle the sentinel by popping/omitting temperature.
- trajectory_compressor.py: _effective_temperature_for_model returns None
for kimi (sentinel mapped), direct client calls use kwargs dict to
conditionally include temperature.
- mini_swe_runner.py: same sentinel handling via wrapper function.
- 6 test files updated: all 'forces temperature X' assertions replaced
with 'temperature not in kwargs' assertions.
Net: -76 lines (171 added, 247 removed).

test: stop testing mutable data — convert change-detectors to invariants (#13363)
Catalog snapshots, config version literals, and enumeration counts are data
that changes as designed. Tests that assert on those values add no
behavioral coverage — they just break CI on every routine update and cost
engineering time to 'fix.'
Replace with invariants where one exists, delete where none does.
Deleted (pure snapshots):
- TestMinimaxModelCatalog (3 tests): 'MiniMax-M2.7 in models' et al
- TestGeminiModelCatalog: 'gemini-2.5-pro in models', 'gemini-3.x in models'
- test_browser_camofox_state::test_config_version_matches_current_schema
(docstring literally said it would break on unrelated bumps)
Relaxed (keep plumbing check, drop snapshot):
- Xiaomi / Arcee / Kimi moonshot / Kimi coding / HuggingFace static lists:
now assert 'provider exists and has >= 1 entry' instead of specific names
- HuggingFace main/models.py consistency test: drop 'len >= 6' floor
Dynamicized (follow source, not a literal):
- 3x test_config.py migration tests: raw['_config_version'] ==
DEFAULT_CONFIG['_config_version'] instead of hardcoded 21
Fixed stale tests against intentional behavior changes:
- test_insights::test_gateway_format_hides_cost: name matches new behavior
(no dollar figures); remove contradicting '$' in text assertion
- test_config::prefers_api_then_url_then_base_url: flipped per PR #9332;
rename + update to base_url > url > api
- test_anthropic_adapter: relax assert_called_once() (xdist-flaky) to
assert called — contract is 'credential flowed through'
- test_interrupt_propagation: add provider/model/_base_url to bare-agent
fixture so the stale-timeout code path resolves
Fixed stale integration tests against opt-in plugin gate:
- transform_tool_result + transform_terminal_output: write plugins.enabled
allow-list to config.yaml and reset the plugin manager singleton
Source fix (real consistency invariant):
- agent/model_metadata.py: add moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6 context length
(262144, same as K2.5). test_model_metadata_has_context_lengths was
correctly catching the gap.
Policy:
- AGENTS.md Testing section: new subsection 'Don't write change-detector
tests' with do/don't examples. Reviewers should reject catalog-snapshot
assertions in new tests.
Covers every test that failed on the last completed main CI run
(24703345583) except test_modal_sandbox_fixes::test_terminal_tool_present
+ test_terminal_and_file_toolsets_resolve_all_tools, which now pass both
alone and with the full tests/tools/ directory (xdist ordering flake that
resolved itself).
fix(tui): stop slash dropdown from chopping last char of /goal (#31311)
Two independent bugs caused the slash-command autocomplete to render
/goal as /goa (and /gquota as /gquot for that matter) in the TUI:
1. tui_gateway/server.py was forwarding c.display from
prompt_toolkit's Completion straight into the JSON-RPC payload.
prompt_toolkit normalizes display= into FormattedText (a list
subclass), so the wire format became [["", "/goal"]] instead of
the string that CompletionItem.display in the TUI declares.
meta already went through to_plain_text — display did not.
2. The dropdown row in appOverlays.tsx used flexDirection="row"
with the display <Text> and the (very long) meta <Text> as
siblings. When the meta overflows the row width, Ink/Yoga shrinks
the *first* column by one cell, lopping the trailing character off
the command name. /goal triggers it reliably because its meta
string is the longest of any built-in command (description +
embedded [text | pause | resume | clear | status] usage hint).
Wrapping the display column in <Box flexShrink={0}> keeps it at
its natural width and lets the meta wrap or truncate instead.
