* feat(telegram): add webhook mode as alternative to polling
When TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL is set, the adapter starts an HTTP webhook
server (via python-telegram-bot's start_webhook()) instead of long
polling. This enables cloud platforms like Fly.io and Railway to
auto-wake suspended machines on inbound HTTP traffic.
Polling remains the default — no behavior change unless the env var
is set.
Env vars:
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_URL Public HTTPS URL for Telegram to push to
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_PORT Local listen port (default 8443)
TELEGRAM_WEBHOOK_SECRET Secret token for update verification

* fix: send_document call in background task delivery + vision download timeout
Two fixes salvaged from PR #2269 by amethystani:
1. gateway/run.py: adapter.send_file() → adapter.send_document()
send_file() doesn't exist on BasePlatformAdapter. Background task
media files were silently never delivered (AttributeError swallowed
by except Exception: pass).
2. tools/vision_tools.py: configurable image download timeout via
HERMES_VISION_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT env var (default 30s), plus guard
against raise None when max_retries=0.
The third fix in #2269 (opencode-go auth config) was already resolved
on main.

* feat(approvals): make dangerous command approval timeout configurable
Read `approvals.timeout` from config.yaml (default 60s) instead of
hardcoding 60 seconds in both the fallback CLI prompt and the TUI
prompt_toolkit callback.
Follows the same pattern as `clarify.timeout` which is already
configurable via CLI_CONFIG.
Closes#3765
* fix: add timeout default to approvals section in DEFAULT_CONFIG

Setup previously only printed a manual install hint for matrix-nio,
causing the gateway to crash with 'matrix-nio not installed' after
configuring Matrix. Now auto-installs matrix-nio (or matrix-nio[e2e]
when E2EE is enabled) using the same uv-first/pip-fallback pattern
as Daytona and Modal backends.
Also adds hermes-agent[matrix] to the [all] extra in pyproject.toml
and a regression test to keep it there.

All three Nous Portal model selection paths (hermes model, first-time
login, setup wizard) were hitting the live /models endpoint and showing
every model available — potentially hundreds. Now uses the curated
_PROVIDER_MODELS['nous'] list (25 agentic models matching OpenRouter
defaults) with 'Enter custom model name' for anything else.
Fixed in:
- hermes_cli/main.py: _model_flow_nous()
- hermes_cli/auth.py: _login_nous() model selection
- hermes_cli/setup.py: post-login model selection
Adds WeCom as a gateway platform adapter using the AI Bot WebSocket
gateway for real-time bidirectional communication. No public endpoint
or new pip dependencies needed (uses existing aiohttp + httpx).
Features:
- WebSocket persistent connection with auto-reconnect (exponential backoff)
- DM and group messaging with configurable access policies
- Media upload/download with AES decryption for encrypted attachments
- Markdown rendering, quote context preservation
- Proactive + passive reply message modes
- Chunked media upload pipeline (512KB chunks)
Cherry-picked from PR #1898 by EvilRan with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 300 commits behind)
- Skipped base.py regressions (reply_to additions are good but belong
in a separate PR since they affect all platforms)
- Fixed test assertions to match current base class send() signature
(reply_to=None kwarg now explicit)
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
- No new pip dependencies (aiohttp + httpx already installed)

Previously, when no API keys or provider credentials were found, Hermes
silently defaulted to OpenRouter + Claude Opus. This caused confusion
when users configured local servers (LM Studio, Ollama, etc.) with a
typo or unrecognized provider name — the system would silently route to
OpenRouter instead of telling them something was wrong.
Changes:
- resolve_provider() now raises AuthError when no credentials are found
instead of returning 'openrouter' as a silent fallback
- Added local server aliases: lmstudio, ollama, vllm, llamacpp → custom
- Removed hardcoded 'anthropic/claude-opus-4.6' fallback from gateway
and cron scheduler (they read from config.yaml instead)
- Updated cli-config.yaml.example with complete provider documentation
including all supported providers, aliases, and local server setup
The model picker for API-key providers (MiniMax, z.ai, etc.) probes
the live /models endpoint when the curated list has fewer than 8
models. When the live endpoint returns fewer models than the curated
list (e.g. MiniMax's Anthropic-compatible endpoint doesn't list M2.7),
the incomplete live list was used instead.
Now falls back to the curated list when live returns fewer models,
ensuring new models like MiniMax-M2.7 always appear in the picker.
PR #3726 fixed stale codex_responses persisting when switching providers
by hardcoding api_mode=chat_completions in 5 model flows. This broke
MiniMax, MiniMax-CN, and Alibaba which use /anthropic endpoints that
need anthropic_messages — the hardcoded value overrides the URL-based
auto-detection in runtime_provider.py.
Fix: pop api_mode from config in the 3 URL-dependent flows (custom
endpoint, Kimi, api_key_provider) instead of hardcoding. The runtime
resolver already correctly auto-detects api_mode from the base_url
suffix (/anthropic -> anthropic_messages, else chat_completions).
OpenRouter and Copilot ACP flows keep the explicit value since their
api_mode is always known.

Adds Feishu (ByteDance's enterprise messaging platform) as a gateway
platform adapter with full feature parity: WebSocket + webhook transports,
message batching, dedup, rate limiting, rich post/card content parsing,
media handling (images/audio/files/video), group @mention gating,
reaction routing, and interactive card button support.
Cherry-picked from PR #1793 by penwyp with:
- Moved to current main (PR was 458 commits behind)
- Fixed _send_with_retry shadowing BasePlatformAdapter method (renamed to
_feishu_send_with_retry to avoid signature mismatch crash)
- Fixed import structure: aiohttp/websockets imported independently of
lark_oapi so they remain available when SDK is missing
- Fixed get_hermes_home import (hermes_constants, not hermes_cli.config)
- Added skip decorators for tests requiring lark_oapi SDK
- All 16 integration points added surgically to current main
New dependency: lark-oapi>=1.5.3,<2 (optional, pip install hermes-agent[feishu])

Tool call previews (paths, commands, queries) were hardcoded to truncate
at 35-40 chars across CLI spinners, completion lines, and gateway progress
messages. Users could not see full file paths in tool output.
New config option: display.tool_preview_length (default 0 = no limit).
Set a positive number to truncate at that length.
Changes:
- display.py: module-level _tool_preview_max_len with getter/setter;
build_tool_preview() and get_cute_tool_message() _trunc/_path respect it
- cli.py: reads config at startup, spinner widget respects config
- gateway/run.py: reads config per-message, progress callback respects config
- run_agent.py: removed redundant 30-char quiet-mode spinner truncation
- config.py: added display.tool_preview_length to DEFAULT_CONFIG
Reported by kriskaminski
Tools from check_fn-gated toolsets (honcho, homeassistant) showed as
red (disabled) in the startup banner even when properly configured.
This happened because check_fn runs lazily after session context is
set, but the banner renders before agent init.
Now distinguishes three states:
- red: truly unavailable (missing env var, no API key)
- yellow: lazy-initialized (check_fn pending, will activate on use)
- normal: available and ready
Only the banner fix was salvaged from the original PR; unrelated
bundled changes (context_compressor, STT config, auth default_model,
SessionResetPolicy) were discarded.

Adds a config option to suppress the header/footer text that wraps
cron job responses when delivered to messaging platforms.
Set cron.wrap_response: false in config.yaml for clean output without
the 'Cronjob Response: <name>' header and 'The agent cannot see this
message' footer. Default is true (preserves current behavior).
Third report of gateway crashing with:
ImportError: cannot import name 'get_hermes_home' from 'hermes_constants'
Root cause: stale .pyc bytecode files survive code updates. When Python
loads a cached .pyc that references names from the old source, the import
fails and the gateway won't start.
Two bugs fixed:
1. Git update path: no cache clearing at all after git pull
2. ZIP update path: __pycache__ was explicitly in the preserve set
Added _clear_bytecode_cache() helper that removes all __pycache__ dirs
under PROJECT_ROOT (skipping venv/node_modules/.git/.worktrees). Called
in both git and ZIP update paths, before pip install.
Extends the single fallback_model mechanism into an ordered chain.
When the primary model fails, Hermes tries each fallback provider in
sequence until one succeeds or the chain is exhausted.
Config format (new):
fallback_providers:
- provider: openrouter
model: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
- provider: openai
model: gpt-4o
Legacy single-dict fallback_model format still works unchanged.
Key fix vs original PR: the call sites in the retry loop now use
_fallback_index < len(_fallback_chain) instead of the old one-shot
_fallback_activated guard, so the chain actually advances through
all configured providers.
Changes:
- run_agent.py: _fallback_chain list + _fallback_index replaces
one-shot _fallback_model; _try_activate_fallback() advances
through chain; failed provider resolution skips to next entry;
call sites updated to allow chain advancement
- cli.py: reads fallback_providers with legacy fallback_model compat
- gateway/run.py: same
- hermes_cli/config.py: fallback_providers: [] in DEFAULT_CONFIG
- tests: 12 new chain tests + 6 existing test fixtures updated

hermes mcp serve starts a stdio MCP server that lets any MCP client
(Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) interact with Hermes conversations.
Matches OpenClaw's 9-tool channel bridge surface:
Tools exposed:
- conversations_list: list active sessions across all platforms
- conversation_get: details on one conversation
- messages_read: read message history
- attachments_fetch: extract non-text content from messages
- events_poll: poll for new events since a cursor
- events_wait: long-poll / block until next event (near-real-time)
- messages_send: send to any platform via send_message_tool
- channels_list: browse available messaging targets
- permissions_list_open: list pending approval requests
- permissions_respond: allow/deny approvals
Architecture:
- EventBridge: background thread polls SessionDB for new messages,
maintains in-memory event queue with waiter support
- Reads sessions.json + SessionDB directly (no gateway dep for reads)
- Reuses send_message_tool for sending (same platform adapters)
- FastMCP server with stdio transport
- Zero new dependencies (uses existing mcp>=1.2.0 optional dep)
Files:
- mcp_serve.py: MCP server + EventBridge (~600 lines)
- hermes_cli/main.py: added serve sub-parser to hermes mcp
- hermes_cli/mcp_config.py: route serve action to run_mcp_server

* feat: show estimated tool token context in hermes tools checklist
Adds a live token estimate indicator to the bottom of the interactive
tool configuration checklist (hermes tools / hermes setup). As users
toggle toolsets on/off, the total estimated context cost updates in
real time.
Implementation:
- tools/registry.py: Add get_schema() for check_fn-free schema access
- hermes_cli/curses_ui.py: Add optional status_fn callback to
curses_checklist — renders at bottom-right of terminal, stays fixed
while items scroll
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py: Add _estimate_tool_tokens() using
tiktoken (cl100k_base, already installed) to count tokens in the
JSON-serialised OpenAI-format tool schemas. Results are cached
per-process. The status function deduplicates overlapping tools
(e.g. browser includes web_search) for accurate totals.
- 12 new tests covering estimation, caching, graceful degradation
when tiktoken is unavailable, status_fn wiring, deduplication,
and the numbered fallback display
* fix: use effective toolsets (includes plugins) for token estimation index mapping
The status_fn closure built ts_keys from CONFIGURABLE_TOOLSETS but the
checklist uses _get_effective_configurable_toolsets() which appends plugin
toolsets. With plugins present, the indices would mismatch, causing
IndexError when selecting a plugin toolset.
When a user runs 'hermes update', the Python process caches old modules
in sys.modules. After git pull updates files on disk, lazy imports of
newly-updated modules fail because they try to import display_hermes_home
from the cached (old) hermes_constants which doesn't have the function.
This specifically broke the gateway auto-restart in cmd_update — importing
hermes_cli/gateway.py triggered the top-level 'from hermes_constants
import display_hermes_home' against the cached old module. The ImportError
was silently caught, so the gateway was never restarted after update.
Users with a running gateway then hit the ImportError on their next
Telegram/Discord message when the stale gateway process lazily loaded
run_agent.py (new version) which also had the top-level import.
Fixes:
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: lazy import at call site (line 940)
- run_agent.py: lazy import at call site (line 6927)
- tools/terminal_tool.py: lazy imports at 3 call sites
- tools/tts_tool.py: static schema string (no module-level call)
- hermes_cli/auth.py: lazy import at call site (line 2024)
- hermes_cli/main.py: reload hermes_constants after git pull in cmd_update
Also fixes 4 pre-existing test failures in test_parse_env_var caused by
NameError on display_hermes_home in terminal_tool.py.
When switching providers via 'hermes model', the previous provider's
api_mode persisted in config.yaml. Switching from Copilot
(codex_responses) to a chat_completions provider like Z.AI would send
requests to the wrong endpoint (404).
Set api_mode = chat_completions in the 4 provider flows that were
missing it: OpenRouter, custom endpoint, Kimi, and api_key_provider.

Add skills.external_dirs config option — a list of additional directories
to scan for skills alongside ~/.hermes/skills/. External dirs are read-only:
skill creation/editing always writes to the local dir. Local skills take
precedence when names collide.
This lets users share skills across tools/agents without copying them into
Hermes's own directory (e.g. ~/.agents/skills, /shared/team-skills).
Changes:
- agent/skill_utils.py: add get_external_skills_dirs() and get_all_skills_dirs()
- agent/prompt_builder.py: scan external dirs in build_skills_system_prompt()
- tools/skills_tool.py: _find_all_skills() and skill_view() search external dirs;
security check recognizes configured external dirs as trusted
- agent/skill_commands.py: /skill slash commands discover external skills
- hermes_cli/config.py: add skills.external_dirs to DEFAULT_CONFIG
- cli-config.yaml.example: document the option
- tests/agent/test_external_skills.py: 11 tests covering discovery, precedence,
deduplication, and skill_view for external skills

Add per-task timeout settings under auxiliary.{task}.timeout in config.yaml
instead of hardcoded values. Users with slow local models (Ollama, llama.cpp)
can now increase timeouts for compression, vision, session search, etc.
Defaults:

- auxiliary.vision.timeout: 30s (unchanged)
- all other aux tasks: 30s (was hardcoded 30s)
- title_generator: 30s (was hardcoded 15s)
call_llm/async_call_llm now auto-resolve timeout from config when not

Adds 'hermes webhook' CLI subcommand and a skill — zero new model tools.
CLI commands (require webhook platform to be enabled):
hermes webhook subscribe <name> [--events, --prompt, --deliver, ...]
hermes webhook list
hermes webhook remove <name>
hermes webhook test <name>
All commands gate on webhook platform being enabled in config. If not
configured, prints setup instructions (gateway setup wizard, manual
config.yaml, or env vars).
The agent uses these via terminal tool, guided by the webhook-subscriptions
skill which documents setup, common patterns (GitHub, Stripe, CI/CD,
monitoring), prompt template syntax, security, and troubleshooting.
Adapter enhancement: webhook.py hot-reloads dynamic subscriptions from
~/.hermes/webhook_subscriptions.json on each incoming request (mtime-gated).
Static config.yaml routes always take precedence.
Docs: updated webhooks.md with Dynamic Subscriptions section, added
hermes webhook to cli-commands.md reference.
No new model tools. No toolset changes.
24 new tests for CLI CRUD, persistence, enabled-gate, and adapter
dynamic route loading.
Two fixes for /skills install and /skills uninstall slash commands:
1. input() hangs indefinitely inside prompt_toolkit's TUI event loop,
soft-locking the CLI. The user typing the slash command is already
implicit consent, so confirmation is now always skipped.
2. Cache invalidation was unconditional — installing or uninstalling a
skill mid-session silently broke the prompt cache, increasing costs.
The slash handler now defers cache invalidation by default (skill
takes effect next session). Pass --now to invalidate immediately,
with a message explaining the cost tradeoff. The CLI argparse path
(hermes skills install) is unaffected and still invalidates.
Fixes#3474

* feat: GPT tool-use steering + strip budget warnings from history
Two changes to improve tool reliability, especially for OpenAI GPT models:
1. GPT tool-use enforcement prompt: Adds GPT_TOOL_USE_GUIDANCE to the
system prompt when the model name contains 'gpt' and tools are loaded.
This addresses a known behavioral pattern where GPT models describe
intended actions ('I will run the tests') instead of actually making
tool calls. Inspired by similar steering in OpenCode (beast.txt) and
Cline (GPT-5.1 variant).
2. Budget warning history stripping: Budget pressure warnings injected by
_get_budget_warning() into tool results are now stripped when
conversation history is replayed via run_conversation(). Previously,
these turn-scoped signals persisted across turns, causing models to
avoid tool calls in all subsequent messages after any turn that hit
the 70-90% iteration threshold.
* fix: replace hardcoded ~/.hermes paths with get_hermes_home() for profile support
Prep for the upcoming profiles feature — each profile is a separate
HERMES_HOME directory, so all paths must respect the env var.
Fixes:
- gateway/platforms/matrix.py: Matrix E2EE store was hardcoded to
~/.hermes/matrix/store, ignoring HERMES_HOME. Now uses
get_hermes_home() so each profile gets its own Matrix state.
- gateway/platforms/telegram.py: Two locations reading config.yaml via
Path.home()/.hermes instead of get_hermes_home(). DM topic thread_id
persistence and hot-reload would read the wrong config in a profile.
- tools/file_tools.py: Security path for hub index blocking was
hardcoded to ~/.hermes, would miss the actual profile's hub cache.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Service naming now uses the profile name
(hermes-gateway-coder) instead of a cryptic hash suffix. Extracted
_profile_suffix() helper shared by systemd and launchd.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist path and Label now scoped per
profile (ai.hermes.gateway-coder.plist). Previously all profiles
would collide on the same plist file on macOS.
- hermes_cli/gateway.py: Launchd plist now includes HERMES_HOME in
EnvironmentVariables — was missing entirely, making custom
HERMES_HOME broken on macOS launchd (pre-existing bug).
- All launchctl commands in gateway.py, main.py, status.py updated
to use get_launchd_label() instead of hardcoded string.
Test fixes: DM topic tests now set HERMES_HOME env var alongside
Path.home() mock. Launchd test uses get_launchd_label() for expected
commands.
The TOOL_USE_ENFORCEMENT_GUIDANCE injection (added in #3528) was
hardcoded to only match gpt/codex model names. This makes it a
config option so users can turn it on for any model family.
New config key: agent.tool_use_enforcement
- "auto" (default): matches gpt/codex (existing behavior)
- true: inject for all models
- false: never inject
- list of strings: custom model-name substrings to match
e.g. ["gpt", "codex", "deepseek", "qwen"]
No version bump needed — deep merge provides the default
automatically for existing installs.
12 new tests covering all config modes.
dict.get(key, default) only returns default when key is ABSENT.
When YAML has 'key:' with no value, it parses as None — .get()
returns None, then .strip() crashes with AttributeError.
Use (x or '') pattern to handle both missing and null cases.

The minimax-specific auto-correction in runtime_provider.py was
preventing users from overriding to the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
via MINIMAX_BASE_URL. Users in certain regions get nginx 404 on
api.minimax.io/anthropic and need to switch to api.minimax.chat/v1.
The generic URL-suffix detection already handles /anthropic →
anthropic_messages, so the minimax-specific code was redundant for
the default path and harmful for the override path.
Now: default /anthropic URL works via generic detection, user
override to /v1 gets chat_completions mode naturally.
Closes#3546 (different approach — respects user overrides instead
of changing the default endpoint).
Drop the swe-rex dependency for Modal terminal backend and use the
Modal SDK directly (Sandbox.create + Sandbox.exec). This fixes:
- AsyncUsageWarning from synchronous App.lookup() in async context
- DeprecationError from unencrypted_ports / .url on unencrypted tunnels
(deprecated 2026-03-05)
The new implementation:
- Uses modal.App.lookup.aio() for async-safe app creation
- Uses Sandbox.create.aio() with 'sleep infinity' entrypoint
- Uses Sandbox.exec.aio() for direct command execution (no HTTP server
or tunnel needed)
- Keeps all existing features: persistent filesystem snapshots,
configurable resources (CPU/memory/disk), sudo support, interrupt
handling, _AsyncWorker for event loop safety
Consistent with the Docker backend precedent (PR #2804) where we
removed mini-swe-agent in favor of direct docker run.
Files changed:
- tools/environments/modal.py - core rewrite
- tools/terminal_tool.py - health check: modal instead of swerex

The plugin system defined six lifecycle hooks but only pre_tool_call and
post_tool_call were invoked. This activates the remaining four so that
external plugins (e.g. memory systems) can hook into the conversation
loop without touching core code.
Hook semantics:
- on_session_start: fires once when a new session is created
- pre_llm_call: fires once per turn before the tool-calling loop;
plugins can return {"context": "..."} to inject into the ephemeral
system prompt (not cached, not persisted)
- post_llm_call: fires once per turn after the loop completes, with
user_message and assistant_response for sync/storage
- on_session_end: fires at the end of every run_conversation call
invoke_hook() now returns a list of non-None callback return values,
enabling pre_llm_call context injection while remaining backward
compatible (existing hooks that return None are unaffected).

Add ~/.local/bin, ~/.cargo/bin, ~/go/bin, ~/.npm-global/bin to the
systemd unit PATH so tools installed via uv/pipx/cargo/go are
discoverable by MCP servers and terminal commands.
Uses a _build_user_local_paths() helper that checks exists() before
adding, and correctly resolves home dir for both user and system
service types.

* fix: harden `hermes update` against diverged history, non-main branches, and gateway edge cases
The self-update command (`hermes update` / gateway `/update`) could fail
or silently corrupt state in several scenarios:
1. **Diverged history** — `git pull --ff-only` aborts with a cryptic
subprocess error when upstream has force-pushed or rebased. Now falls
back to `git reset --hard origin/main` since local changes are already
stashed.
2. **User on a feature branch / detached HEAD** — the old code would
either clobber the feature branch HEAD to point at origin/main, or
silently pull against a non-existent remote branch. Now auto-checkouts
main before pulling, with a clear warning.
3. **Fetch failures** — network or auth errors produced raw subprocess
tracebacks. Now shows user-friendly messages ("Network error",
"Authentication failed") with actionable hints.
4. **reset --hard failure** — if the fallback reset itself fails (disk
full, permissions), the old code would still attempt stash restore on
a broken working tree. Now skips restore and tells the user their
changes are safe in stash.
5. **Gateway /update stash conflicts** — non-interactive mode (Telegram
`/update`) called sys.exit(1) when stash restore had conflicts, making
the entire update report as failed even though the code update itself
succeeded. Now treats stash conflicts as non-fatal in non-interactive
mode (returns False instead of exiting).
* fix: restore stash and branch on 'already up to date' early return
The PR moved stash creation before the commit-count check (needed for
the branch-switching feature), but the 'already up to date' early return
didn't restore the stash or switch back to the original branch — leaving
the user stranded on main with changes trapped in a stash.
Now the early-return path restores the stash and checks out the original
branch when applicable.
