"""Automatic context window compression for long conversations.
Self-contained class with its own OpenAI client for summarization.
feat(compressor): major context compaction improvements Six improvements to reduce information loss during context compression, informed by analysis of Cline, OpenCode, Pi-mono, Codex, and ClawdBot: 1. Structured summary template — sections for Goal, Progress (Done/ In Progress/Blocked), Key Decisions, Relevant Files, Next Steps, and Critical Context. Forces the summarizer to preserve each category instead of writing a vague paragraph. 2. Iterative summary updates — on re-compression, the prompt says 'PRESERVE existing info, ADD new progress, UPDATE done/in-progress status.' Previous summary is stored and fed back to the summarizer so accumulated context survives across multiple compactions. 3. Token-budget tail protection — instead of fixed protect_last_n=4, walks backward keeping ~20K tokens of recent context. Adapts to message density: sessions with big tool results protect fewer messages, short exchanges protect more. Falls back to protect_last_n for small conversations. 4. Tool output pruning (pre-pass) — before the expensive LLM summary, replaces old tool result contents with a placeholder. This is free (no LLM call) and can save 30%+ of context by itself. 5. Scaled summary budget — instead of fixed 2500 tokens, allocates 20% of compressed content tokens (clamped to 2000-8000). A 50-turn conversation gets more summary space than a 10-turn one. 6. Richer summarizer input — tool calls now include arguments (up to 500 chars) and tool results keep up to 3000 chars (was 1500). The summarizer sees 'terminal(git status) → M src/config.py' instead of just '[Tool calls: terminal]'.

Improvements over v1:
- Structured summary template (Goal, Progress, Decisions, Files, Next Steps)
- Iterative summary updates (preserves info across multiple compactions)
- Token-budget tail protection instead of fixed message count
- Tool output pruning before LLM summarization (cheap pre-pass)
- Scaled summary budget (proportional to compressed content)
- Richer tool call/result detail in summarizer input

1. Prune old tool results (cheap, no LLM call)
2. Protect head messages (system prompt + first exchange)
3. Protect tail messages by token budget (most recent ~20K tokens)
4. Summarize middle turns with structured LLM prompt
5. On subsequent compactions, iteratively update the previous summary

fix: detect context length for custom model endpoints via fuzzy matching + config override (#2051) * fix: detect context length for custom model endpoints via fuzzy matching + config override Custom model endpoints (non-OpenRouter, non-known-provider) were silently falling back to 2M tokens when the model name didn't exactly match what the endpoint's /v1/models reported. This happened because: 1. Endpoint metadata lookup used exact match only — model name mismatches (e.g. 'qwen3.5:9b' vs 'Qwen3.5-9B-Q4_K_M.gguf') caused a miss 2. Single-model servers (common for local inference) required exact name match even though only one model was loaded 3. No user escape hatch to manually set context length Changes: - Add fuzzy matching for endpoint model metadata: single-model servers use the only available model regardless of name; multi-model servers try substring matching in both directions - Add model.context_length config override (highest priority) so users can explicitly set their model's context length in config.yaml - Log an informative message when falling back to 2M probe, telling users about the config override option - Thread config_context_length through ContextCompressor and AIAgent init Tests: 6 new tests covering fuzzy match, single-model fallback, config override (including zero/None edge cases). * fix: auto-detect local model name and context length for local servers Cherry-picked from PR #2043 by sudoingX. - Auto-detect model name from local server's /v1/models when only one model is loaded (no manual model name config needed) - Add n_ctx_train and n_ctx to context length detection keys for llama.cpp - Query llama.cpp /props endpoint for actual allocated context (not just training context from GGUF metadata) - Strip .gguf suffix from display in banner and status bar - _auto_detect_local_model() in runtime_provider.py for CLI init Co-authored-by: sudo <sudoingx@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: revert accidental summary_target_tokens change + add docs for context_length config - Revert summary_target_tokens from 2500 back to 500 (accidental change during patching) - Add 'Context Length Detection' section to Custom & Self-Hosted docs explaining model.context_length config override --------- Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: sudo <sudoingx@users.noreply.github.com>

feat: overhaul context length detection with models.dev and provider-aware resolution (#2158) Replace the fragile hardcoded context length system with a multi-source resolution chain that correctly identifies context windows per provider. Key changes: - New agent/models_dev.py: Fetches and caches the models.dev registry (3800+ models across 100+ providers with per-provider context windows). In-memory cache (1hr TTL) + disk cache for cold starts. - Rewritten get_model_context_length() resolution chain: 0. Config override (model.context_length) 1. Custom providers per-model context_length 2. Persistent disk cache 3. Endpoint /models (local servers) 4. Anthropic /v1/models API (max_input_tokens, API-key only) 5. OpenRouter live API (existing, unchanged) 6. Nous suffix-match via OpenRouter (dot/dash normalization) 7. models.dev registry lookup (provider-aware) 8. Thin hardcoded defaults (broad family patterns) 9. 128K fallback (was 2M) - Provider-aware context: same model now correctly resolves to different context windows per provider (e.g. claude-opus-4.6: 1M on Anthropic, 128K on GitHub Copilot). Provider name flows through ContextCompressor. - DEFAULT_CONTEXT_LENGTHS shrunk from 80+ entries to ~16 broad patterns. models.dev replaces the per-model hardcoding. - CONTEXT_PROBE_TIERS changed from [2M, 1M, 512K, 200K, 128K, 64K, 32K] to [128K, 64K, 32K, 16K, 8K]. Unknown models no longer start at 2M. - hermes model: prompts for context_length when configuring custom endpoints. Supports shorthand (32k, 128K). Saved to custom_providers per-model config. - custom_providers schema extended with optional models dict for per-model context_length (backward compatible). - Nous Portal: suffix-matches bare IDs (claude-opus-4-6) against OpenRouter's prefixed IDs (anthropic/claude-opus-4.6) with dot/dash normalization. Handles all 15 current Nous models. - Anthropic direct: queries /v1/models for max_input_tokens. Only works with regular API keys (sk-ant-api*), not OAuth tokens.

feat(compressor): major context compaction improvements Six improvements to reduce information loss during context compression, informed by analysis of Cline, OpenCode, Pi-mono, Codex, and ClawdBot: 1. Structured summary template — sections for Goal, Progress (Done/ In Progress/Blocked), Key Decisions, Relevant Files, Next Steps, and Critical Context. Forces the summarizer to preserve each category instead of writing a vague paragraph. 2. Iterative summary updates — on re-compression, the prompt says 'PRESERVE existing info, ADD new progress, UPDATE done/in-progress status.' Previous summary is stored and fed back to the summarizer so accumulated context survives across multiple compactions. 3. Token-budget tail protection — instead of fixed protect_last_n=4, walks backward keeping ~20K tokens of recent context. Adapts to message density: sessions with big tool results protect fewer messages, short exchanges protect more. Falls back to protect_last_n for small conversations. 4. Tool output pruning (pre-pass) — before the expensive LLM summary, replaces old tool result contents with a placeholder. This is free (no LLM call) and can save 30%+ of context by itself. 5. Scaled summary budget — instead of fixed 2500 tokens, allocates 20% of compressed content tokens (clamped to 2000-8000). A 50-turn conversation gets more summary space than a 10-turn one. 6. Richer summarizer input — tool calls now include arguments (up to 500 chars) and tool results keep up to 3000 chars (was 1500). The summarizer sees 'terminal(git status) → M src/config.py' instead of just '[Tool calls: terminal]'.

feat(stt): add free local whisper transcription via faster-whisper (#1185) * fix: Home Assistant event filtering now closed by default Previously, when no watch_domains or watch_entities were configured, ALL state_changed events passed through to the agent, causing users to be flooded with notifications for every HA entity change. Now events are dropped by default unless the user explicitly configures: - watch_domains: list of domains to monitor (e.g. climate, light) - watch_entities: list of specific entity IDs to monitor - watch_all: true (new option — opt-in to receive all events) A warning is logged at connect time if no filters are configured, guiding users to set up their HA platform config. All 49 gateway HA tests + 52 HA tool tests pass. * docs: update Home Assistant integration documentation - homeassistant.md: Fix event filtering docs to reflect closed-by-default behavior. Add watch_all option. Replace Python dict config example with YAML. Fix defaults table (was incorrectly showing 'all'). Add required configuration warning admonition. - environment-variables.md: Add HASS_TOKEN and HASS_URL to Messaging section. - messaging/index.md: Add Home Assistant to description, architecture diagram, platform toolsets table, and Next Steps links. * fix(terminal): strip provider env vars from background and PTY subprocesses Extends the env var blocklist from #1157 to also cover the two remaining leaky paths in process_registry.py: - spawn_local() PTY path (line 156) - spawn_local() background Popen path (line 197) Both were still using raw os.environ, leaking provider vars to background processes and interactive PTY sessions. Now uses the same dynamic _HERMES_PROVIDER_ENV_BLOCKLIST from local.py.

Cherry-picked from PR #872 by @omerkaz, with fixes: - Fixed parallel tool call trace pairing (was always updating last entry) - Removed redundant 'iterations' field (identical to existing 'api_calls') - Added test for parallel tool call trace correctness Co-authored-by: omerkaz <omerkaz@users.noreply.github.com> * feat(stt): add free local whisper transcription via faster-whisper Replace OpenAI-only STT with a dual-provider system mirroring the TTS architecture (Edge TTS free / ElevenLabs paid): STT: faster-whisper local (free, default) / OpenAI Whisper API (paid) Changes: - tools/transcription_tools.py: Full rewrite with provider dispatch, config loading, local faster-whisper backend, and OpenAI API backend. Auto-downloads model (~150MB for 'base') on first voice message. Singleton model instance reused across calls. - pyproject.toml: Add faster-whisper>=1.0.0 as core dependency - hermes_cli/config.py: Expand stt config to match TTS pattern with provider selection and per-provider model settings - agent/context_compressor.py: Fix .strip() crash when LLM returns non-string content (dict from llama.cpp, None).

feat(compressor): major context compaction improvements Six improvements to reduce information loss during context compression, informed by analysis of Cline, OpenCode, Pi-mono, Codex, and ClawdBot: 1. Structured summary template — sections for Goal, Progress (Done/ In Progress/Blocked), Key Decisions, Relevant Files, Next Steps, and Critical Context. Forces the summarizer to preserve each category instead of writing a vague paragraph. 2. Iterative summary updates — on re-compression, the prompt says 'PRESERVE existing info, ADD new progress, UPDATE done/in-progress status.' Previous summary is stored and fed back to the summarizer so accumulated context survives across multiple compactions. 3. Token-budget tail protection — instead of fixed protect_last_n=4, walks backward keeping ~20K tokens of recent context. Adapts to message density: sessions with big tool results protect fewer messages, short exchanges protect more. Falls back to protect_last_n for small conversations. 4. Tool output pruning (pre-pass) — before the expensive LLM summary, replaces old tool result contents with a placeholder. This is free (no LLM call) and can save 30%+ of context by itself. 5. Scaled summary budget — instead of fixed 2500 tokens, allocates 20% of compressed content tokens (clamped to 2000-8000). A 50-turn conversation gets more summary space than a 10-turn one. 6. Richer summarizer input — tool calls now include arguments (up to 500 chars) and tool results keep up to 3000 chars (was 1500). The summarizer sees 'terminal(git status) → M src/config.py' instead of just '[Tool calls: terminal]'.

The summarizer sees 'terminal(git status) → M src/config.py' instead of just '[Tool calls: terminal]'.

feat(compressor): major context compaction improvements Six improvements to reduce information loss during context compression, informed by analysis of Cline, OpenCode, Pi-mono, Codex, and ClawdBot: 1. Structured summary template — sections for Goal, Progress (Done/ In Progress/Blocked), Key Decisions, Relevant Files, Next Steps, and Critical Context. Forces the summarizer to preserve each category instead of writing a vague paragraph. 2. Iterative summary updates — on re-compression, the prompt says 'PRESERVE existing info, ADD new progress, UPDATE done/in-progress status.' Previous summary is stored and fed back to the summarizer so accumulated context survives across multiple compactions. 3. Token-budget tail protection — instead of fixed protect_last_n=4, walks backward keeping ~20K tokens of recent context. Adapts to message density: sessions with big tool results protect fewer messages, short exchanges protect more. Falls back to protect_last_n for small conversations. 4. Tool output pruning (pre-pass) — before the expensive LLM summary, replaces old tool result contents with a placeholder. This is free (no LLM call) and can save 30%+ of context by itself. 5.
