Merge PR #724: feat: --yolo flag to bypass all approval prompts

Authored by dmahan93. Adds HERMES_YOLO_MODE env var and --yolo CLI flag
to auto-approve all dangerous command prompts.

Post-merge: renamed --fuck-it-ship-it to --yolo for brevity,
resolved conflict with --checkpoints flag.

# OpenAI-Compatible API Server for Hermes Agent
## Motivation
Every major chat frontend (Open WebUI 126k★, LobeChat 73k★, LibreChat 34k★,
AnythingLLM 56k★, NextChat 87k★, ChatBox 39k★, Jan 26k★, HF Chat-UI 8k★,
big-AGI 7k★) connects to backends via the OpenAI-compatible REST API with
SSE streaming. By exposing this endpoint, hermes-agent becomes instantly
usable as a backend for all of them — no custom adapters needed.
## What It Enables
```
┌──────────────────┐
│ Open WebUI │──┐
│ LobeChat │ │ POST /v1/chat/completions
│ LibreChat │ ├──► Authorization: Bearer <key> ┌─────────────────┐
│ AnythingLLM │ │ {"messages": [...]} │ hermes-agent │
│ NextChat │ │ │ gateway │
│ Any OAI client │──┘ ◄── SSE streaming response │ (API server) │
└──────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘
```
A user would:
1. Set `API_SERVER_ENABLED=true` in `~/.hermes/.env`
2. Run `hermes gateway` (API server starts alongside Telegram/Discord/etc.)
3. Point Open WebUI (or any frontend) at `http://localhost:8642/v1`
4. Chat with hermes-agent through any OpenAI-compatible UI
## Endpoints
| Method | Path | Purpose |
|--------|------|---------|
| POST | `/v1/chat/completions` | Chat with the agent (streaming + non-streaming) |
| GET | `/v1/models` | List available "models" (returns hermes-agent as a model) |
| GET | `/health` | Health check |
## Architecture
### Option A: Gateway Platform Adapter (recommended)
Create `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` as a new platform adapter that
extends `BasePlatformAdapter`. This is the cleanest approach because:
- Reuses all gateway infrastructure (session management, auth, context building)
- Runs in the same async loop as other adapters
- Gets message handling, interrupt support, and session persistence for free
- Follows the established pattern (like Telegram, Discord, etc.)
- Uses `aiohttp.web` (already a dependency) for the HTTP server
The adapter would start an `aiohttp.web.Application` server in `connect()`
and route incoming HTTP requests through the standard `handle_message()` pipeline.
### Option B: Standalone Component
A separate HTTP server class in `gateway/api_server.py` that creates its own
AIAgent instances directly. Simpler but duplicates session/auth logic.
**Recommendation: Option A** — fits the existing architecture, less code to
maintain, gets all gateway features for free.
## Request/Response Format
### Chat Completions (non-streaming)
```
POST /v1/chat/completions
Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
Content-Type: application/json
{
"model": "hermes-agent",
"messages": [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "What files are in the current directory?"}
],
"stream": false,
"temperature": 0.7
}
```
Response:
```json
{
"id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
"object": "chat.completion",
"created": 1710000000,
"model": "hermes-agent",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,
"message": {
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Here are the files in the current directory:\n..."
},
"finish_reason": "stop"
}],
"usage": {
"prompt_tokens": 50,
"completion_tokens": 200,
"total_tokens": 250
}
}
```
### Chat Completions (streaming)
Same request with `"stream": true`. Response is SSE:
```
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant"},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"Here "},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"are "},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-abc123","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
data: [DONE]
```
### Models List
```
GET /v1/models
Authorization: Bearer hermes-api-key-here
```
Response:
```json
{
"object": "list",
"data": [{
"id": "hermes-agent",
"object": "model",
"created": 1710000000,
"owned_by": "hermes-agent"
}]
}
```
## Key Design Decisions
### 1. Session Management
The OpenAI API is stateless — each request includes the full conversation.
But hermes-agent sessions have persistent state (memory, skills, tool context).
**Approach: Hybrid**
- Default: Stateless. Each request is independent. The `messages` array IS
the conversation. No session persistence between requests.
- Opt-in persistent sessions via `X-Session-ID` header. When provided, the
server maintains session state across requests (conversation history,
memory context, tool state). This enables richer agent behavior.
- The session ID also enables interrupt support — a subsequent request with
the same session ID while one is running triggers an interrupt.
### 2. Streaming
The agent's `run_conversation()` is synchronous and returns the full response.
For real SSE streaming, we need to emit chunks as they're generated.
**Phase 1 (MVP):** Run agent in a thread, return the complete response as
a single SSE chunk + `[DONE]`. This works with all frontends — they just see
a fast single-chunk response. Not true streaming but functional.
**Phase 2:** Add a response callback to AIAgent that emits text chunks as the
LLM generates them. The API server captures these via a queue and streams them
as SSE events. This gives real token-by-token streaming.
**Phase 3:** Stream tool execution progress too — emit tool call/result events
as the agent works, giving frontends visibility into what the agent is doing.
### 3. Tool Transparency
Two modes:
- **Opaque (default):** Frontends see only the final response. Tool calls
happen server-side and are invisible. Best for general-purpose UIs.
- **Transparent (opt-in via header):** Tool calls are emitted as OpenAI-format
tool_call/tool_result messages in the stream. Useful for agent-aware frontends.
### 4. Authentication
- Bearer token via `Authorization: Bearer <key>` header
- Token configured via `API_SERVER_KEY` env var
- Optional: allow unauthenticated local-only access (127.0.0.1 bind)
- Follows the same pattern as other platform adapters
### 5. Model Mapping
Frontends send `"model": "hermes-agent"` (or whatever). The actual LLM model
used is configured server-side in config.yaml. The API server maps any
requested model name to the configured hermes-agent model.
Optionally, allow model passthrough: if the frontend sends
`"model": "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"`, the agent uses that model. Controlled
by a config flag.
## Configuration
```yaml
# In config.yaml
api_server:
enabled: true
port: 8642
host: "127.0.0.1" # localhost only by default
key: "your-secret-key" # or via API_SERVER_KEY env var
allow_model_override: false # let clients choose the model
max_concurrent: 5 # max simultaneous requests
```
Environment variables:
```bash
API_SERVER_ENABLED=true
API_SERVER_PORT=8642
API_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
API_SERVER_KEY=your-secret-key
```
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: MVP (non-streaming) — PR
1. `gateway/platforms/api_server.py` — new adapter
- aiohttp.web server with endpoints:
- `POST /v1/chat/completions` — Chat Completions API (universal compat)
- `POST /v1/responses` — Responses API (server-side state, tool preservation)
- `GET /v1/models` — list available models
- `GET /health` — health check
- Bearer token auth middleware
- Non-streaming responses (run agent, return full result)
- Chat Completions: stateless, messages array is the conversation
- Responses API: server-side conversation storage via previous_response_id
- Store full internal conversation (including tool calls) keyed by response ID
- On subsequent requests, reconstruct full context from stored chain
- Frontend system prompt layered on top of hermes-agent's core prompt
2. `gateway/config.py` — add `Platform.API_SERVER` enum + config
3. `gateway/run.py` — register adapter in `_create_adapter()`
4. Tests in `tests/gateway/test_api_server.py`
### Phase 2: SSE Streaming
1. Add response streaming to both endpoints
- Chat Completions: `choices[0].delta.content` SSE format
- Responses API: semantic events (response.output_text.delta, etc.)
- Run agent in thread, collect output via callback queue
- Handle client disconnect (cancel agent)
2. Add `stream_callback` parameter to `AIAgent.run_conversation()`
### Phase 3: Enhanced Features
1. Tool call transparency mode (opt-in)
2. Model passthrough/override
3. Concurrent request limiting
4. Usage tracking / rate limiting
5. CORS headers for browser-based frontends
6. GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
7. DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
## Files Changed

# Streaming LLM Response Support for Hermes Agent
## Overview
Add token-by-token streaming of LLM responses across all platforms. When enabled,
users see the response typing out live instead of waiting for the full generation.
Streaming is opt-in via config, defaults to off, and all existing non-streaming
code paths remain intact as the default.
## Design Principles
1. **Feature-flagged**: `streaming.enabled: true` in config.yaml. Off by default.
When off, all existing code paths are unchanged — zero risk to current behavior.
2. **Callback-based**: A simple `stream_callback(text_delta: str)` function injected
into AIAgent. The agent doesn't know or care what the consumer does with tokens.
3. **Graceful degradation**: If the provider doesn't support streaming, or streaming
fails for any reason, silently fall back to the non-streaming path.
4. **Platform-agnostic core**: The streaming mechanism in AIAgent works the same
regardless of whether the consumer is CLI, Telegram, Discord, or the API server.
---
## Architecture
```
stream_callback(delta)
┌─────────────┐ ┌─────────────▼──────────────┐
│ LLM API │ │ queue.Queue() │
│ (stream) │───►│ thread-safe bridge between │
│ │ │ agent thread & consumer │
└─────────────┘ └─────────────┬──────────────┘
┌──────────────┼──────────────┐

┌─────▼─────┐ ┌─────▼─────┐ ┌─────▼─────┐
│ CLI │ │ Gateway │ │ API Server│
│ print to │ │ edit msg │ │ SSE event │
│ terminal │ │ on Tg/Dc │ │ to client │
└───────────┘ └───────────┘ └───────────┘
```
The agent runs in a thread. The callback puts tokens into a thread-safe queue.
Each consumer reads the queue in its own context (async task, main thread, etc.).
---
## Configuration
### config.yaml
```yaml
streaming:
enabled: false # Master switch. Default off.
# Per-platform overrides (optional):
# cli: true # Override for CLI only
# telegram: true # Override for Telegram only
# discord: false # Keep Discord non-streaming
# api_server: true # Override for API server
```
### Environment variables
```
HERMES_STREAMING_ENABLED=true # Master switch via env
```
### How the flag is read
- **CLI**: `load_cli_config()` reads `streaming.enabled`, sets env var. AIAgent
checks at init time.
- **Gateway**: `_run_agent()` reads config, decides whether to pass
`stream_callback` to the AIAgent constructor.
- **API server**: For Chat Completions `stream=true` requests, always uses streaming
regardless of config (the client is explicitly requesting it). For non-stream
requests, uses config.
### Precedence
1. API server: client's `stream` field overrides everything
2. Per-platform config override (e.g., `streaming.telegram: true`)
3. Master `streaming.enabled` flag
4. Default: off
---
## Implementation Plan
### Phase 1: Core streaming infrastructure in AIAgent
**File: run_agent.py**
#### 1a. Add stream_callback parameter to __init__ (~5 lines)
```python
def __init__(self, ..., stream_callback: callable = None, ...):
self.stream_callback = stream_callback
```
No other init changes. The callback is optional — when None, everything
works exactly as before.
#### 1b. Add _run_streaming_chat_completion() method (~65 lines)
New method for Chat Completions API streaming:
```python
def _run_streaming_chat_completion(self, api_kwargs: dict):
"""Stream a chat completion, emitting text tokens via stream_callback.
Returns a fake response object compatible with the non-streaming code path.
Falls back to non-streaming on any error.
"""
stream_kwargs = dict(api_kwargs)
stream_kwargs["stream"] = True
stream_kwargs["stream_options"] = {"include_usage": True}
accumulated_content = []
accumulated_tool_calls = {} # index -> {id, name, arguments}
final_usage = None
try:
stream = self.client.chat.completions.create(**stream_kwargs)
for chunk in stream:
if not chunk.choices:
# Usage-only chunk (final)
if chunk.usage:
final_usage = chunk.usage
continue
delta = chunk.choices[0].delta
# Text content — emit via callback
if delta.content:
accumulated_content.append(delta.content)
if self.stream_callback:
try:
self.stream_callback(delta.content)
except Exception:
pass
# Tool call deltas — accumulate silently
if delta.tool_calls:
for tc_delta in delta.tool_calls:
idx = tc_delta.index
if idx not in accumulated_tool_calls:
accumulated_tool_calls[idx] = {
"id": tc_delta.id or "",
"name": "", "arguments": ""
}
if tc_delta.function:
if tc_delta.function.name:
accumulated_tool_calls[idx]["name"] = tc_delta.function.name
if tc_delta.function.arguments:
accumulated_tool_calls[idx]["arguments"] += tc_delta.function.arguments
# Build fake response compatible with existing code
tool_calls = []
for idx in sorted(accumulated_tool_calls):
tc = accumulated_tool_calls[idx]
if tc["name"]:
tool_calls.append(SimpleNamespace(
id=tc["id"], type="function",
function=SimpleNamespace(name=tc["name"], arguments=tc["arguments"]),
))
return SimpleNamespace(
choices=[SimpleNamespace(
message=SimpleNamespace(
content="".join(accumulated_content) or "",
tool_calls=tool_calls or None,
role="assistant",
),
finish_reason="tool_calls" if tool_calls else "stop",
)],
usage=final_usage,
model=self.model,
)
except Exception as e:
logger.debug("Streaming failed, falling back to non-streaming: %s", e)
return self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
```
#### 1c. Modify _run_codex_stream() for Responses API (~10 lines)
The method already iterates the stream. Add callback emission:
```python
def _run_codex_stream(self, api_kwargs: dict):
with self.client.responses.stream(**api_kwargs) as stream:
for event in stream:
# Emit text deltas if streaming callback is set
if self.stream_callback and hasattr(event, 'type'):
if event.type == 'response.output_text.delta':
try:
self.stream_callback(event.delta)
except Exception:
pass
return stream.get_final_response()
```
#### 1d. Modify _interruptible_api_call() (~5 lines)
Add the streaming branch:
```python
def _call():
try:
if self.api_mode == "codex_responses":
result["response"] = self._run_codex_stream(api_kwargs)
elif self.stream_callback is not None:
result["response"] = self._run_streaming_chat_completion(api_kwargs)
else:
result["response"] = self.client.chat.completions.create(**api_kwargs)
except Exception as e:
result["error"] = e
```
#### 1e. Signal end-of-stream to consumers (~5 lines)
After the API call returns, signal the callback that streaming is done
so consumers can finalize (remove cursor, close SSE, etc.):
```python
# In run_conversation(), after _interruptible_api_call returns:
if self.stream_callback:
try:
self.stream_callback(None) # None = end of stream signal
except Exception:
pass
```
Consumers check: `if delta is None: finalize()`
**Tests for Phase 1:** (~150 lines)
- Test _run_streaming_chat_completion with mocked stream
- Test fallback to non-streaming on error
- Test tool_call accumulation during streaming
- Test stream_callback receives correct deltas
- Test None signal at end of stream
- Test streaming disabled when callback is None
---
### Phase 2: Gateway consumers (Telegram, Discord, etc.)
**File: gateway/run.py**
#### 2a. Read streaming config (~15 lines)
In `_run_agent()`, before creating the AIAgent:
```python
# Read streaming config
_streaming_enabled = False
try:
# Check per-platform override first
platform_key = source.platform.value if source.platform else ""
_stream_cfg = {} # loaded from config.yaml streaming section
if _stream_cfg.get(platform_key) is not None:
_streaming_enabled = bool(_stream_cfg[platform_key])
else:
_streaming_enabled = bool(_stream_cfg.get("enabled", False))
except Exception:
pass
# Env var override
if os.getenv("HERMES_STREAMING_ENABLED", "").lower() in ("true", "1", "yes"):
_streaming_enabled = True
```
#### 2b. Set up queue + callback (~15 lines)
```python
_stream_q = None
_stream_done = None
_stream_msg_id = [None] # mutable ref for the async task
if _streaming_enabled:
import queue as _q
_stream_q = _q.Queue()
_stream_done = threading.Event()
def _on_token(delta):
if delta is None:
_stream_done.set()
else:
_stream_q.put(delta)
```
Pass `stream_callback=_on_token` to the AIAgent constructor.
#### 2c. Telegram/Discord stream preview task (~50 lines)
```python
async def stream_preview():
"""Progressively edit a message with streaming tokens."""
if not _stream_q:
return
adapter = self.adapters.get(source.platform)
if not adapter:
return
accumulated = []
token_count = 0
last_edit = 0.0
MIN_TOKENS = 20 # Don't show until enough context
EDIT_INTERVAL = 1.5 # Respect Telegram rate limits
try:
while not _stream_done.is_set():
try:
chunk = _stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
accumulated.append(chunk)
token_count += 1
except queue.Empty:
continue
now = time.monotonic()
if token_count >= MIN_TOKENS and (now - last_edit) >= EDIT_INTERVAL:
preview = "".join(accumulated) + ""
if _stream_msg_id[0] is None:
r = await adapter.send(
chat_id=source.chat_id,
content=preview,
metadata=_thread_metadata,
)
if r.success and r.message_id:
_stream_msg_id[0] = r.message_id
else:
await adapter.edit_message(
chat_id=source.chat_id,
message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
content=preview,
)
last_edit = now
# Drain remaining tokens
while not _stream_q.empty():
accumulated.append(_stream_q.get_nowait())
# Final edit — remove cursor, show complete text
if _stream_msg_id[0] and accumulated:
await adapter.edit_message(
chat_id=source.chat_id,
message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
content="".join(accumulated),
)
except asyncio.CancelledError:
# Clean up on cancel
if _stream_msg_id[0] and accumulated:
try:
await adapter.edit_message(
chat_id=source.chat_id,
message_id=_stream_msg_id[0],
content="".join(accumulated),
)
except Exception:
pass
except Exception as e:
logger.debug("stream_preview error: %s", e)
```
#### 2d. Skip final send if already streamed (~10 lines)
In `_process_message_background()` (base.py), after getting the response,
if streaming was active and `_stream_msg_id[0]` is set, the final response
was already delivered via progressive edits. Skip the normal `self.send()`
call to avoid duplicating the message.
This is the most delicate integration point — we need to communicate from
the gateway's `_run_agent` back to the base adapter's response sender that
the response was already delivered. Options:
- **Option A**: Return a special marker in the result dict:
`result["_streamed_msg_id"] = _stream_msg_id[0]`
The base adapter checks this and skips `send()`.
- **Option B**: Edit the already-sent message with the final response
(which may differ slightly from accumulated tokens due to think-block
stripping, etc.) and don't send a new one.
- **Option C**: The stream preview task handles the FULL final response
(including any post-processing), and the handler returns None to skip
the normal send path.
Recommended: **Option A** — cleanest separation. The result dict already
carries metadata; adding one more field is low-risk.
**Platform-specific considerations:**
| Platform | Edit support | Rate limits | Streaming approach |
|----------|-------------|-------------|-------------------|
| Telegram | ✅ edit_message_text | ~20 edits/min | Edit every 1.5s |
| Discord | ✅ message.edit | 5 edits/5s per message | Edit every 1.2s |
| Slack | ✅ chat.update | Tier 3 (~50/min) | Edit every 1.5s |
| WhatsApp | ❌ no edit support | N/A | Skip streaming, use normal path |
| HomeAssistant | ❌ no edit | N/A | Skip streaming |
| API Server | ✅ SSE native | No limit | Real SSE events |
WhatsApp and HomeAssistant fall back to non-streaming automatically because
they don't support message editing.
**Tests for Phase 2:** (~100 lines)
- Test stream_preview sends/edits correctly
- Test skip-final-send when streaming delivered
- Test WhatsApp/HA graceful fallback
- Test streaming disabled per-platform config
- Test thread_id metadata forwarded in stream messages
---
### Phase 3: CLI streaming
**File: cli.py**
#### 3a. Set up callback in the CLI chat loop (~20 lines)
In `_chat_once()` or wherever the agent is invoked:
```python
if streaming_enabled:
_stream_q = queue.Queue()
_stream_done = threading.Event()
def _cli_stream_callback(delta):
if delta is None:
_stream_done.set()
else:
_stream_q.put(delta)
agent.stream_callback = _cli_stream_callback
```
#### 3b. Token display thread/task (~30 lines)
Start a thread that reads the queue and prints tokens:
```python
def _stream_display():
"""Print tokens to terminal as they arrive."""
first_token = True
while not _stream_done.is_set():
try:
delta = _stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
except queue.Empty:
continue
if first_token:
# Print response box top border
_cprint(f"\n{top}")
first_token = False
sys.stdout.write(delta)
sys.stdout.flush()
# Drain remaining
while not _stream_q.empty():
sys.stdout.write(_stream_q.get_nowait())
sys.stdout.flush()
# Print bottom border
_cprint(f"\n\n{bot}")
```
**Integration challenge: prompt_toolkit**
The CLI uses prompt_toolkit which controls the terminal. Writing directly
to stdout while prompt_toolkit is active can cause display corruption.
The existing KawaiiSpinner already solves this by using prompt_toolkit's
`patch_stdout` context. The streaming display would need to do the same.
Alternative: use `_cprint()` for each token chunk (routes through
prompt_toolkit's renderer). But this might be slow for individual tokens.
Recommended approach: accumulate tokens in small batches (e.g., every 50ms)
and `_cprint()` the batch. This balances display responsiveness with
prompt_toolkit compatibility.
**Tests for Phase 3:** (~50 lines)
- Test CLI streaming callback setup
- Test response box borders with streaming
- Test fallback when streaming disabled
---
### Phase 4: API Server real streaming
**File: gateway/platforms/api_server.py**
Replace the pseudo-streaming `_write_sse_chat_completion()` with real
token-by-token SSE when the agent supports it.
#### 4a. Wire streaming callback for stream=true requests (~20 lines)
```python
if stream:
_stream_q = queue.Queue()
def _api_stream_callback(delta):
_stream_q.put(delta) # None = done
# Pass callback to _run_agent
result, usage = await self._run_agent(
..., stream_callback=_api_stream_callback,
)
```
#### 4b. Real SSE writer (~40 lines)
```python
async def _write_real_sse(self, request, completion_id, model, stream_q):
response = web.StreamResponse(
headers={"Content-Type": "text/event-stream", "Cache-Control": "no-cache"},
)
await response.prepare(request)
# Role chunk
await response.write(...)
# Stream content chunks as they arrive
while True:
try:
delta = await asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(
None, lambda: stream_q.get(timeout=0.1)
)
except queue.Empty:
continue
if delta is None: # End of stream
break
chunk = {"id": completion_id, "object": "chat.completion.chunk", ...
"choices": [{"delta": {"content": delta}, ...}]}
await response.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
# Finish + [DONE]
await response.write(...)
await response.write(b"data: [DONE]\n\n")
return response
```
**Challenge: concurrent execution**
The agent runs in a thread executor. SSE writing happens in the async event
loop. The queue bridges them. But `_run_agent()` currently awaits the full
result before returning. For real streaming, we need to start the agent in
the background and stream tokens while it runs:
```python
# Start agent in background
agent_task = asyncio.create_task(self._run_agent_async(...))
# Stream tokens while agent runs
await self._write_real_sse(request, ..., stream_q)
# Agent is done by now (stream_q received None)
result, usage = await agent_task
```
This requires splitting `_run_agent` into an async version that doesn't
block waiting for the result, or running it in a separate task.
**Responses API SSE format:**
For `/v1/responses` with `stream=true`, the SSE events are different:
```
event: response.output_text.delta
data: {"type":"response.output_text.delta","delta":"Hello"}
event: response.completed
data: {"type":"response.completed","response":{...}}
```
This needs a separate SSE writer that emits Responses API format events.
**Tests for Phase 4:** (~80 lines)
- Test real SSE streaming with mocked agent
- Test SSE event format (Chat Completions vs Responses)
- Test client disconnect during streaming
- Test fallback to pseudo-streaming when callback not available
---
## Integration Issues & Edge Cases
### 1. Tool calls during streaming
When the model returns tool calls instead of text, no text tokens are emitted.
The stream_callback is simply never called with text. After tools execute, the
next API call may produce the final text response — streaming picks up again.
The stream preview task needs to handle this: if no tokens arrive during a
tool-call round, don't send/edit any message. The tool progress messages
continue working as before.
### 2. Duplicate messages
The biggest risk: the agent sends the final response normally (via the
existing send path) AND the stream preview already showed it. The user
sees the response twice.
Prevention: when streaming is active and tokens were delivered, the final
response send must be suppressed. The `result["_streamed_msg_id"]` marker
tells the base adapter to skip its normal send.
### 3. Response post-processing
The final response may differ from the accumulated streamed tokens:
- Think block stripping (`<think>...</think>` removed)
- Trailing whitespace cleanup
- Tool result media tag appending
The stream preview shows raw tokens. The final edit should use the
post-processed version. This means the final edit (removing the cursor)
should use the post-processed `final_response`, not just the accumulated
stream text.
### 4. Context compression during streaming
If the agent triggers context compression mid-conversation, the streaming
tokens from BEFORE compression are from a different context than those
after. This isn't a problem in practice — compression happens between
API calls, not during streaming.
### 5. Interrupt during streaming
User sends a new message while streaming → interrupt. The stream is killed
(HTTP connection closed), accumulated tokens are shown as-is (no cursor),
and the interrupt message is processed normally. This is already handled by
`_interruptible_api_call` closing the client.
### 6. Multi-model / fallback
If the primary model fails and the agent falls back to a different model,
streaming state resets. The fallback call may or may not support streaming.
The graceful fallback in `_run_streaming_chat_completion` handles this.
### 7. Rate limiting on edits
Telegram: ~20 edits/minute (~1 every 3 seconds to be safe)
Discord: 5 edits per 5 seconds per message
Slack: ~50 API calls/minute
The 1.5s edit interval is conservative enough for all platforms. If we get
429 rate limit errors on edits, just skip that edit cycle and try next time.

## Rollout Plan
1. **Phase 1** (core): Merge to main. Streaming disabled by default.
Zero impact on existing behavior. Can be tested with env var.
2. **Phase 2** (gateway): Merge to main. Test on Telegram manually.
Enable per-platform: `streaming.telegram: true` in config.
3. **Phase 3** (CLI): Merge to main. Test in terminal.
Enable: `streaming.cli: true` or `streaming.enabled: true`.
4. **Phase 4** (API server): Merge to main. Test with Open WebUI.
Auto-enabled when client sends `stream: true`.
Each phase is independently mergeable and testable. Streaming stays
off by default throughout. Once all phases are stable, consider
changing the default to enabled.

# Checkpoint & Rollback — Implementation Plan
## Goal
Automatic filesystem snapshots before destructive file operations, with user-facing rollback. The agent never sees or interacts with this — it's transparent infrastructure.
## Design Principles
1. **Not a tool** — the LLM never knows about it. Zero prompt tokens, zero tool schema overhead.
2. **Once per turn** — checkpoint at most once per conversation turn (user message → agent response cycle), triggered lazily on the first file-mutating operation. Not on every write.
3. **Opt-in via config** — disabled by default, enabled with `checkpoints: true` in config.yaml.
4. **Works on any directory** — uses a shadow git repo completely separate from the user's project git. Works on git repos, non-git directories, anything.
5. **User-facing rollback**`/rollback` slash command (CLI + gateway) to list and restore checkpoints. Also `hermes rollback` CLI subcommand.
## Architecture
```
~/.hermes/checkpoints/
{sha256(abs_dir)[:16]}/ # Shadow git repo per working directory
HEAD, refs/, objects/... # Standard git internals
HERMES_WORKDIR # Original dir path (for display)
info/exclude # Default excludes (node_modules, .env, etc.)
```
### Core: CheckpointManager (new file: tools/checkpoint_manager.py)
Adapted from PR #559's CheckpointStore. Key changes from the PR:
- **Not a tool** — no schema, no registry entry, no handler
- **Turn-scoped deduplication** — tracks `_checkpointed_dirs: Set[str]` per turn
- **Configurable** — reads `checkpoints` config key
- **Pruning** — keeps last N snapshots per directory (default 50), prunes on take
```python
class CheckpointManager:
def __init__(self, enabled: bool = False, max_snapshots: int = 50):
self.enabled = enabled
self.max_snapshots = max_snapshots
self._checkpointed_dirs: Set[str] = set() # reset each turn
def new_turn(self):
"""Call at start of each conversation turn to reset dedup."""
self._checkpointed_dirs.clear()
def ensure_checkpoint(self, working_dir: str, reason: str = "auto") -> None:
"""Take a checkpoint if enabled and not already done this turn."""
if not self.enabled:
return
abs_dir = str(Path(working_dir).resolve())
if abs_dir in self._checkpointed_dirs:
return
self._checkpointed_dirs.add(abs_dir)
try:
self._take(abs_dir, reason)
except Exception as e:
logger.debug("Checkpoint failed (non-fatal): %s", e)
def list_checkpoints(self, working_dir: str) -> List[dict]:
"""List available checkpoints for a directory."""
...
def restore(self, working_dir: str, commit_hash: str) -> dict:
"""Restore files to a checkpoint state."""
...
def _take(self, working_dir: str, reason: str):
"""Shadow git: add -A + commit. Prune if over max_snapshots."""
...
def _prune(self, shadow_repo: Path):
"""Keep only last max_snapshots commits."""
...
```
### Integration Point: run_agent.py
The AIAgent already owns the conversation loop. Add CheckpointManager as an instance attribute:
```python
class AIAgent:
def __init__(self, ...):
...
# Checkpoint manager — reads config to determine if enabled
self._checkpoint_mgr = CheckpointManager(
enabled=config.get("checkpoints", False),
max_snapshots=config.get("checkpoint_max_snapshots", 50),
)
```
**Turn boundary** — in `run_conversation()`, call `new_turn()` at the start of each agent iteration (before processing tool calls):
```python
# Inside the main loop, before _execute_tool_calls():
self._checkpoint_mgr.new_turn()
```
**Trigger point** — in `_execute_tool_calls()`, before dispatching file-mutating tools:
```python
# Before the handle_function_call dispatch:
if function_name in ("write_file", "patch"):
# Determine working dir from the file path in the args
file_path = function_args.get("path", "") or function_args.get("old_string", "")
if file_path:
work_dir = str(Path(file_path).parent.resolve())
self._checkpoint_mgr.ensure_checkpoint(work_dir, f"before {function_name}")
```
This means:
- First `write_file` in a turn → checkpoint (fast, one `git add -A && git commit`)
- Subsequent writes in the same turn → no-op (already checkpointed)
- Next turn (new user message) → fresh checkpoint eligibility
### Config
Add to `DEFAULT_CONFIG` in `hermes_cli/config.py`:
```python
"checkpoints": False, # Enable filesystem checkpoints before destructive ops
"checkpoint_max_snapshots": 50, # Max snapshots to keep per directory
```
User enables with:
```yaml
# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
checkpoints: true
```
### User-Facing Rollback
**CLI slash command** — add `/rollback` to `process_command()` in `cli.py`:
```
/rollback — List recent checkpoints for the current directory
/rollback <hash> — Restore files to that checkpoint
```
Shows a numbered list:
```
📸 Checkpoints for /home/user/project:
1. abc1234 2026-03-09 21:15 before write_file (3 files changed)
2. def5678 2026-03-09 20:42 before patch (1 file changed)
3. ghi9012 2026-03-09 20:30 before write_file (2 files changed)
Use /rollback <number> to restore, e.g. /rollback 1
```
**Gateway slash command** — add `/rollback` to gateway/run.py with the same behavior.
**CLI subcommand**`hermes rollback` (optional, lower priority).
### What Gets Excluded (not checkpointed)
Same as the PR's defaults — written to the shadow repo's `info/exclude`:
```
node_modules/
dist/
build/
.env
.env.*
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.DS_Store
*.log
.cache/
.venv/
.git/
```
Also respects the project's `.gitignore` if present (shadow repo can read it via `core.excludesFile`).
### Safety
- `ensure_checkpoint()` wraps everything in try/except — a checkpoint failure never blocks the actual file operation
- Shadow repo is completely isolated — GIT_DIR + GIT_WORK_TREE env vars, never touches user's .git
- If git isn't installed, checkpoints silently disable
- Large directories: add a file count check — skip checkpoint if >50K files to avoid slowdowns
## Files to Create/Modify

| `gateway/run.py` | Add `/rollback` slash command handler |
| `tests/tools/test_checkpoint_manager.py` | **NEW** — tests (adapted from PR #559's tests) |
## What We Take From PR #559
- `_shadow_repo_path()` — deterministic path hashing ✅
- `_git_env()` — GIT_DIR/GIT_WORK_TREE isolation ✅
- `_run_git()` — subprocess wrapper with timeout ✅
- `_init_shadow_repo()` — shadow repo initialization ✅
- `DEFAULT_EXCLUDES` list ✅
- Test structure and patterns ✅
## What We Change From PR #559
- **Remove tool schema/registry** — not a tool
- **Remove injection into file_operations.py and patch_parser.py** — trigger from run_agent.py instead
- **Add turn-scoped deduplication** — one checkpoint per turn, not per operation
- **Add pruning** — keep last N snapshots
- **Add config flag** — opt-in, not mandatory
- **Add /rollback command** — user-facing restore UI
- **Add file count guard** — skip huge directories
## Implementation Order
1. `tools/checkpoint_manager.py` — core class with take/list/restore/prune
2. `tests/tools/test_checkpoint_manager.py` — tests
3. `hermes_cli/config.py` — config keys
4. `run_agent.py` — integration (init + trigger)
5. `cli.py``/rollback` slash command
6. `gateway/run.py``/rollback` slash command
7. Full test suite run + manual smoke test
