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)
Fixes#1898

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])
Fixes#1788

Adds a complete Docker packaging for Hermes Agent:
- Dockerfile based on debian:13.4 with all deps
- Entrypoint that bootstraps .env, config.yaml, SOUL.md on first run
- CI workflow to build, test, and push to DockerHub
- Documentation for interactive, gateway, and upgrade workflows
Closes#850, #913.
Changes vs original PR:
- Removed pre-created legacy cache/platform dirs from entrypoint
(image_cache, audio_cache, pairing, whatsapp/session) — these are
now created on demand by the application using the consolidated
layout from get_hermes_dir()
- Moved docs from docs/docker.md to website/docs/user-guide/docker.md
and added to Docusaurus sidebar

* feat: nix flake, uv2nix build, dev shell and home manager
* fixed nix run, updated docs for setup
* feat(nix): NixOS module with persistent container mode, managed guards, checks
- Replace homeModules.nix with nixosModules.nix (two deployment modes)
- Mode A (native): hardened systemd service with ProtectSystem=strict
- Mode B (container): persistent Ubuntu container with /nix/store bind-mount,
identity-hash-based recreation, GC root protection, symlink-based updates
- Add HERMES_MANAGED guards blocking CLI config mutation (config set, setup,
gateway install/uninstall) when running under NixOS module
- Add nix/checks.nix with build-time verification (binary, CLI, managed guard)
- Remove container.nix (no Nix-built OCI image; pulls ubuntu:24.04 at runtime)
- Simplify packages.nix (drop fetchFromGitHub submodules, PYTHONPATH wrappers)
- Rewrite docs/nixos-setup.md with full options reference, container
architecture, secrets management, and troubleshooting guide
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Update config.py
* feat(nix): add CI workflow and enhanced build checks
- GitHub Actions workflow for nix flake check + build on linux/macOS
- Entry point sync check to catch pyproject.toml drift
- Expanded managed-guard check to cover config edit
- Wrap hermes-acp binary in Nix package
- Fix Path type mismatch in is_managed()
* Update MCP server package name; bundled skills support
* fix reading .env. instead have container user a common mounted .env file
* feat(nix): container entrypoint with privilege drop and sudo provisioning
Container was running as non-root via --user, which broke apt/pip installs
and caused crashes when $HOME didn't exist. Replace --user with a Nix-built
entrypoint script that provisions the hermes user, sudo (NOPASSWD), and
/home/hermes inside the container on first boot, then drops privileges via
setpriv. Writable layer persists so setup only runs once.
Also expands MCP server options to support HTTP transport and sampling.

* fix group and user creation in container mode
* feat(nix): persistent /home/hermes and MESSAGING_CWD in container mode
Container mode now bind-mounts ${stateDir}/home to /home/hermes so the
agent's home directory survives container recreation. Previously it lived
in the writable layer and was lost on image/volume/options changes.
Also passes MESSAGING_CWD to the container so the agent finds its
workspace and documents, matching native mode behavior.
Other changes:
- Extract containerDataDir/containerHomeDir bindings (no more magic strings)
- Fix entrypoint chown to run unconditionally (volume mounts always exist)
- Add schema field to container identity hash for auto-recreation
- Add idempotency test (Scenario G) to config-roundtrip check
* docs: add Nix & NixOS setup guide to docs site
Add comprehensive Nix documentation to the Docusaurus site at
website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md, covering nix run/profile
install, NixOS module (native + container modes), declarative settings,
secrets management, MCP servers, managed mode, container architecture,
dev shell, flake checks, and full options reference.
- Register nix-setup in sidebar after installation page
- Add Nix callout tip to installation.md linking to new guide
- Add canonical version pointer in docs/nixos-setup.md
* docs: remove docs/nixos-setup.md, consolidate into website docs
Backfill missing details (restart/restartSec in full example,
gateway.pid, 0750 permissions, docker inspect commands) into
the canonical website/docs/getting-started/nix-setup.md and
delete the old standalone file.
* fix(nix): add compression.protect_last_n and target_ratio to config-keys.json
New keys were added to DEFAULT_CONFIG on main, causing the
config-drift check to fail in CI.
* fix(nix): skip checks on aarch64-darwin (onnxruntime wheel missing)
The full Python venv includes onnxruntime (via faster-whisper/STT)
which lacks a compatible uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Gate all
checks behind stdenv.hostPlatform.isLinux. The package and devShell
still evaluate on macOS.
* fix(nix): skip flake check and build on macOS CI
onnxruntime (transitive dep via faster-whisper) lacks a compatible
uv2nix wheel on aarch64-darwin. Run full checks and build on Linux
only; macOS CI verifies the flake evaluates without building.
* fix(nix): preserve container writable layer across nixos-rebuild
The container identity hash included the entrypoint's Nix store path,
which changes on every nixpkgs update (due to runtimeShell/stdenv
input-addressing). This caused false-positive identity mismatches,
triggering container recreation and losing the persistent writable layer.
- Use stable symlink (current-entrypoint) like current-package already does
- Remove entrypoint from identity hash (only image/volumes/options matter)
- Add GC root for entrypoint so nix-collect-garbage doesn't break it
- Remove global HERMES_HOME env var from addToSystemPackages (conflicted
with interactive CLI use, service already sets its own)

Based on PR #1749 by @erosika (reimplemented on current main).
Extracts three protected methods from run() so wrapper CLIs can extend
the TUI without overriding the entire method:
- _get_extra_tui_widgets(): inject widgets between spacer and status bar
- _register_extra_tui_keybindings(kb, input_area): add keybindings
- _build_tui_layout_children(**widgets): full control over ordering
Default implementations reproduce existing layout exactly. The inline
HSplit in run() now delegates to _build_tui_layout_children().
5 tests covering defaults, widget insertion position, and keybinding
registration.
* feat: OpenAI-compatible API server platform adapter
Salvaged from PR #956, updated for current main.
Adds an HTTP API server as a gateway platform adapter that exposes
hermes-agent via the OpenAI Chat Completions and Responses APIs.
Any OpenAI-compatible frontend (Open WebUI, LobeChat, LibreChat,
AnythingLLM, NextChat, ChatBox, etc.) can connect by pointing at
http://localhost:8642/v1.
Endpoints:
- POST /v1/chat/completions — stateless Chat Completions API
- POST /v1/responses — stateful Responses API with chaining
- GET /v1/responses/{id} — retrieve stored response
- DELETE /v1/responses/{id} — delete stored response
- GET /v1/models — list hermes-agent as available model
- GET /health — health check
Features:
- Real SSE streaming via stream_delta_callback (uses main's streaming)
- In-memory LRU response store for Responses API conversation chaining
- Named conversations via 'conversation' parameter
- Bearer token auth (optional, via API_SERVER_KEY)
- CORS support for browser-based frontends
- System prompt layering (frontend system messages on top of core)
- Real token usage tracking in responses
Integration points:
- Platform.API_SERVER in gateway/config.py
- _create_adapter() branch in gateway/run.py
- API_SERVER_* env vars in hermes_cli/config.py
- Env var overrides in gateway/config.py _apply_env_overrides()
Changes vs original PR #956:
- Removed streaming infrastructure (already on main via stream_consumer.py)
- Removed Telegram reply_to_mode (separate feature, not included)
- Updated _resolve_model() -> _resolve_gateway_model()
- Updated stream_callback -> stream_delta_callback
- Updated connect()/disconnect() to use _mark_connected()/_mark_disconnected()
- Adapted to current Platform enum (includes MATTERMOST, MATRIX, DINGTALK)
Tests: 72 new tests, all passing
Docs: API server guide, Open WebUI integration guide, env var reference
* feat(whatsapp): make reply prefix configurable via config.yaml
Reworked from PR #1764 (ifrederico) to use config.yaml instead of .env.
The WhatsApp bridge prepends a header to every outgoing message.
This was hardcoded to '⚕ *Hermes Agent*'. Users can now customize
or disable it via config.yaml:
whatsapp:
reply_prefix: '' # disable header
reply_prefix: '🤖 *My Bot*\n───\n' # custom prefix
How it works:
- load_gateway_config() reads whatsapp.reply_prefix from config.yaml
and stores it in PlatformConfig.extra['reply_prefix']
- WhatsAppAdapter reads it from config.extra at init
- When spawning bridge.js, the adapter passes it as
WHATSAPP_REPLY_PREFIX in the subprocess environment
- bridge.js handles undefined (default), empty (no header),
or custom values with \\n escape support
- Self-chat echo suppression uses the configured prefix
Also fixes _config_version: was 9 but ENV_VARS_BY_VERSION had a
key 10 (TAVILY_API_KEY), so existing users at v9 would never be
prompted for Tavily. Bumped to 10 to close the gap. Added a
regression test to prevent this from happening again.
Credit: ifrederico (PR #1764) for the bridge.js implementation
and the config version gap discovery.
