Isolate Telegram forum topic sessions — each topic gets its own independent session key, history, and interrupt tracking. Progress, hygiene, and cron messages all route to the correct topic.
Follow-up to PR #716 (0xbyt4):
- Log the third remaining silent except-pass in scheduler (prefill
messages JSON parse failure)
- Fix test mock: run → run_conversation (matches actual agent API)
- Remove unused imports (asyncio, AsyncMock)
- Add test for prefill_messages parse failure logging
Authored by Himess. Three independent fixes:
- cron/jobs.py: respect HERMES_HOME env var (consistent with scheduler.py)
- gateway/run.py: add Platform.HOMEASSISTANT to toolset mappings
- tools/environments/daytona.py: use time.monotonic() for timeout deadline
Enforce owner-only permissions on files and directories that contain
secrets or sensitive data:
- cron/jobs.py: jobs.json (0600), cron dirs (0700), job output files (0600)
- hermes_cli/config.py: config.yaml (0600), .env (0600), ~/.hermes/* dirs (0700)
- cli.py: config.yaml via save_config_value (0600)
All chmod calls use try/except for Windows compatibility.
Includes _secure_file() and _secure_dir() helpers with graceful fallback.
8 new tests verify permissions on all file types.
Inspired by openclaw v2026.3.7 file permission enforcement.
Two 'except Exception: pass' blocks silently hide failures:
- mirror_to_session failure: user's message never gets mirrored, no trace
- config.yaml parse failure: wrong model used silently
Replace with logger.warning so failures are visible in logs.
Added support for loading reasoning configuration, prefill messages, and provider routing from environment variables or config.yaml in the run_job function. This improves flexibility and customization for job execution, allowing for better control over agent behavior and message handling.
Authored by areu01or00. Adds timezone support via hermes_time.now() helper
with IANA timezone resolution (HERMES_TIMEZONE env → config.yaml → server-local).
Updates system prompt timestamp, cron scheduling, and execute_code sandbox TZ
injection. Includes config migration (v4→v5) and comprehensive test coverage.
1. cron/jobs.py: respect HERMES_HOME env var for job storage path.
scheduler.py already uses os.getenv("HERMES_HOME", ...) but jobs.py
hardcodes Path.home() / ".hermes", causing path mismatch when
HERMES_HOME is set.
2. gateway/run.py: add Platform.HOMEASSISTANT to default_toolset_map
and platform_config_key. The adapter and hermes-homeassistant
toolset both exist but the mapping dicts omit it, so HomeAssistant
events silently fall back to the Telegram toolset.
3. tools/environments/daytona.py: use time.monotonic() for deadline
instead of float subtraction. All other backends (docker, ssh,
singularity, local) use monotonic clock for timeout tracking.
The accumulator pattern (deadline -= 0.2) drifts because
t.join(0.2) + interrupt checks take longer than 0.2s per iteration.
Authored by alireza78a. When flock() raises on a concurrent tick, the
file descriptor was leaked because the except clause returned without
closing it. Adds lock_fd=None init and close in the except path.
Both entry points hardcoded Path.home() / ".hermes" for .env, config.yaml,
logs, and lock files. Now uses _hermes_home which reads HERMES_HOME env var
with ~/.hermes as default, matching cli.py and run_agent.py.

- Implemented dynamic loading of environment variables and configuration settings for job execution, allowing for real-time updates without restarting the gateway.
- Enhanced model and API configuration retrieval from both environment variables and a YAML configuration file, improving flexibility and adaptability of the job execution process.
- Introduced a new channel directory to cache reachable channels/contacts for messaging platforms, enhancing the send_message tool's ability to resolve human-friendly names to numeric IDs.
- Added functionality to mirror sent messages into the target's session transcript, providing context for cross-platform message delivery.
- Updated the send_message tool to support listing available targets and improved error handling for channel resolution.
- Enhanced the gateway to build and refresh the channel directory during startup and at regular intervals, ensuring up-to-date channel information.

- Clarified messaging in the README and other documentation regarding the gateway's role in managing cron jobs.
- Removed obsolete terminal_hecate tool and related configurations to simplify the codebase.
- Introduced logging functionality in cli.py, run_agent.py, scheduler.py, and various tool modules to replace print statements with structured logging.
- Enhanced error handling and informational messages to improve debugging and monitoring capabilities.
- Ensured consistent logging practices across the codebase, facilitating better traceability and maintenance.
- Added `max_tokens`, `reasoning_config`, and `prefill_messages` parameters to `BatchRunner` and `AIAgent` for improved model response control.
- Updated CLI to support new options for reasoning effort and prefill messages from a JSON file.
- Modified example configuration files to reflect changes in default model and summary model.
- Improved error handling for loading prefill messages and reasoning configurations in the CLI.
- Updated documentation to include new parameters and usage examples.
- Updated CLI to load configuration from user-specific and project-specific YAML files, prioritizing user settings.
- Introduced a new command `/platforms` to display the status of connected messaging platforms (Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp).
- Implemented a gateway system for handling messaging interactions, including session management and delivery routing for cron job outputs.
- Added support for environment variable configuration and a dedicated gateway configuration file for advanced settings.
- Enhanced documentation in README.md and added a new messaging.md file to guide users on platform integrations and setup.
- Updated toolsets to include platform-specific capabilities for Telegram, Discord, and WhatsApp, ensuring secure and tailored interactions.
- Introduced a new cron job system allowing users to schedule automated tasks via the CLI, supporting one-time reminders and recurring jobs.
- Added commands for managing cron jobs: `/cron` to list jobs, `/cron add` to create new jobs, and `/cron remove` to delete jobs.
- Implemented job storage in `~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json` with output saved to `~/.hermes/cron/output/{job_id}/{timestamp}.md`.
- Enhanced the CLI and README documentation to include detailed usage instructions and examples for cron job management.
- Integrated cron job tools into the hermes-cli toolset, ensuring they are only available in interactive CLI mode.
- Added support for cron expression parsing with the `croniter` package, enabling flexible scheduling options.
