Adds Discord-style mention gating for Telegram groups:
- telegram.require_mention: gate group messages (default: false)
- telegram.mention_patterns: regex wake-word triggers
- telegram.free_response_chats: bypass gating for specific chats
When require_mention is enabled, group messages are accepted only for:
- slash commands
- replies to the bot
- @botusername mentions
- regex wake-word pattern matches
DMs remain unrestricted. @mention text is stripped before passing to
the agent. Invalid regex patterns are ignored with a warning.
Config bridges follow the existing Discord pattern (yaml → env vars).
Cherry-picked and adapted from PR #1977 by mcleay. Fixed ChatType
comparison to work without python-telegram-bot installed (uses string
matching instead of enum, consistent with other entity_type checks).

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

Home channel env vars (SLACK_HOME_CHANNEL, SIGNAL_HOME_CHANNEL, etc.)
for Slack, Signal, Mattermost, Matrix, Email, and SMS were nested
inside the credential-env blocks, so they were ignored when the
platform was already configured via config.yaml.
Moved the home channel handling outside the credential blocks with a
Platform.X in config.platforms guard, matching the existing pattern
for Telegram and Discord.

* feat(telegram): auto-discover fallback IPs via DoH when api.telegram.org is unreachable
On some networks (university, corporate), api.telegram.org resolves to a
valid Telegram IP that is unreachable due to routing/firewall rules. A
different IP in the same Telegram-owned 149.154.160.0/20 block works fine.
This adds automatic fallback IP discovery at connect time:
1. Query Google and Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS for api.telegram.org A records
2. Exclude the system-DNS IP (the unreachable one), use the rest as fallbacks
3. If DoH is also blocked, fall back to a seed list (149.154.167.220)
4. TelegramFallbackTransport tries primary first, sticks to whichever works
No configuration needed — works automatically. TELEGRAM_FALLBACK_IPS env var
still available as manual override. Zero impact on healthy networks (primary
path succeeds on first attempt, fallback never exercised).
No new dependencies (uses httpx already in deps + stdlib socket).
* fix: share transport instance and downgrade seed fallback log to info
- Use single TelegramFallbackTransport shared between request and
get_updates_request so sticky IP is shared across polling and API calls
- Keep separate HTTPXRequest instances (different timeout settings)
- Downgrade "using seed fallback IPs" from warning to info to avoid
noisy logs on healthy networks
* fix: add telegram.request mock and discovery fixture to remaining test files
The original PR missed test_dm_topics.py and
test_telegram_network_reconnect.py — both need the telegram.request
mock module. The reconnect test also needs _no_auto_discovery since
_handle_polling_network_error calls connect() which now invokes
discover_fallback_ips().

Add reply_to_mode setting (off/first/all) to control whether Telegram
replies quote/thread to the user's original message.
- 'off': Never thread replies (no quote bubble)
- 'first': Only first chunk threads to user's message (default, preserves existing behavior)
- 'all': All chunks in multi-part replies thread to user's message
Configurable via:
- reply_to_mode in platform config (gateway config YAML)
- TELEGRAM_REPLY_TO_MODE env var
Based on PR #855 by raulvidis.
A bare `except Exception: pass` meant any YAML syntax error, bad value,
or unexpected structure in config.yaml was silently ignored and the
gateway fell back to .env / gateway.json without any indication.
Users had no way to know why their config changes had no effect.

When a session expires (daily schedule or idle timeout) and is
automatically reset, send a notification to the user explaining
what happened:
◐ Session automatically reset (inactive for 24h).
Conversation history cleared.
Use /resume to browse and restore a previous session.
Adjust reset timing in config.yaml under session_reset.
Notifications are suppressed when:
- The expired session had no activity (no tokens used)
- The platform is excluded (api_server, webhook by default)
- notify: false in config
Changes:
- session.py: _should_reset() returns reason string ('idle'/'daily')
instead of bool; SessionEntry gains auto_reset_reason and
reset_had_activity fields; old entry's total_tokens checked
- config.py: SessionResetPolicy gains notify (bool, default: true)
and notify_exclude_platforms (default: api_server, webhook)
- run.py: sends notification via adapter.send() before processing
the user's message, with activity + platform checks
- 13 new tests
Config (config.yaml):
session_reset:
notify: true
notify_exclude_platforms: [api_server, webhook]
The gateway config loader read config.yaml but never merged its
`platforms` key into the runtime config dict. This meant that
platform-specific settings defined under `platforms.<name>.extra`
(e.g. webhook routes) were silently ignored unless the user also
duplicated them in the legacy gateway.json file.
Merge `yaml_cfg["platforms"]` into `gw_data["platforms"]` with a
shallow deep-merge of the `extra` dict so that gateway.json defaults
are preserved while config.yaml values take precedence.
Closes#2305
The whatsapp reply_prefix bridging referenced config.platforms before
the config object was constructed, making it a silent NameError caught
by except Exception: pass.
Fix: fold reply_prefix into the per-platform bridging loop (introduced
in #1919) which correctly writes to gw_data dict pre-construction.
Removes the broken standalone whatsapp bridging block.
Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com>
Add unauthorized_dm_behavior config (pair|ignore) with global default
and per-platform override. WhatsApp can silently drop unknown DMs
instead of sending pairing codes.
Adapted config bridging to work with gw_data dict (pre-construction)
rather than config object. Dropped implementation plan document.

* fix: NameError in OpenCode provider setup (prompt_text -> prompt)
The OpenCode Zen and OpenCode Go setup sections used prompt_text()
which is undefined. All other providers correctly use the local
prompt() function defined in setup.py. Fixes crash during
'hermes setup' when selecting either OpenCode provider.
* fix: Telegram streaming — config bridge, not-modified, flood control
Three fixes for gateway streaming:
1. Bridge streaming config from config.yaml into gateway runtime.
load_gateway_config() now reads the 'streaming' key from config.yaml
(same pattern as session_reset, stt, etc.), matching the docs.
Previously only gateway.json was read.
2. Handle 'Message is not modified' in Telegram edit_message().
This Telegram API error fires when editing with identical content —
a no-op, not a real failure. Previously it returned success=False
which made the stream consumer disable streaming entirely.
3. Handle RetryAfter / flood control in Telegram edit_message().
Fast providers can hit Telegram rate limits during streaming.
Now waits the requested retry_after duration and retries once,
instead of treating it as a fatal edit failure.
Also fixed double-edit on stream finish: the consumer now tracks
last-sent text and skips redundant edits, preventing the not-modified
error at the source.
* refactor: make config.yaml the primary gateway config source
Eliminates the per-key bridge pattern in load_gateway_config().
Previously gateway.json was the primary source and each config.yaml
key needed an individual bridge — easy to forget (streaming was
missing, causing garl4546's bug).
Now config.yaml is read first and its keys are mapped directly into
the GatewayConfig.from_dict() schema. gateway.json is kept as a
legacy fallback layer (loaded first, then overwritten by config.yaml
keys). If gateway.json exists, a log message suggests migrating.
Also:
- Removed dead save_gateway_config() (never called anywhere)
- Updated CLI help text and send_message error to reference
config.yaml instead of gateway.json

* 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.

Add support for Mattermost (self-hosted Slack alternative) and Matrix
(federated messaging protocol) as messaging platforms.
Mattermost adapter:
- REST API v4 client for posts, files, channels, typing indicators
- WebSocket listener for real-time 'posted' events with reconnect backoff
- Thread support via root_id
- File upload/download with auth-aware caching
- Dedup cache (5min TTL, 2000 entries)
- Full self-hosted instance support
Matrix adapter:
- matrix-nio AsyncClient with sync loop
- Dual auth: access token or user_id + password
- Optional E2EE via matrix-nio[e2e] (libolm)
- Thread support via m.thread (MSC3440)
- Reply support via m.in_reply_to with fallback stripping
- Media upload/download via mxc:// URLs (authenticated v1.11+ endpoint)
- Auto-join on room invite
- DM detection via m.direct account data with sync fallback
- Markdown to HTML conversion
Fixes applied over original PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty:
- Mattermost: add timeout to file downloads, wrap API helpers in
try/except for network errors, download incoming files immediately
with auth headers instead of passing auth-required URLs
- Matrix: use authenticated media endpoint (/_matrix/client/v1/media/),
robust m.direct cache with sync fallback, prefer aiohttp over httpx
Install Matrix support: pip install 'hermes-agent[matrix]'
Mattermost needs no extra deps (uses aiohttp).
Salvaged from PR #1225 by @cyb0rgk1tty with fixes.
Add DingTalk as a messaging platform using the dingtalk-stream SDK
for real-time message reception via Stream Mode (no webhook needed).
Replies are sent via session webhook using markdown format.
Features:
- Stream Mode connection (long-lived WebSocket, no public URL needed)
- Text and rich text message support
- DM and group chat support
- Message deduplication with 5-minute window
- Auto-reconnection with exponential backoff
- Session webhook caching for reply routing
Configuration:
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_ID=your-app-key
export DINGTALK_CLIENT_SECRET=your-app-secret
# or in config.yaml:
platforms:
dingtalk:
enabled: true
extra:
client_id: your-app-key
client_secret: your-app-secret
Files:
- gateway/platforms/dingtalk.py (340 lines) — adapter implementation
- gateway/config.py — add DINGTALK to Platform enum
- gateway/run.py — add DingTalk to _create_adapter
- hermes_cli/config.py — add env vars to _EXTRA_ENV_KEYS
- hermes_cli/tools_config.py — add dingtalk to PLATFORMS
- tests/gateway/test_dingtalk.py — 21 tests
Streaming is now off by default for both CLI and gateway. Users opt in:
CLI (config.yaml):
display:
streaming: true
Gateway (config.yaml):
streaming:
enabled: true
This lets early adopters test streaming while existing users see zero
change. Once we have enough field validation, we flip the default to
true in a subsequent release.
default group and channel sessions to per-user isolation, allow opting back into shared room sessions via config.yaml, and document Discord gateway routing and session behavior.
Complete the YAML null handling for all three SessionResetPolicy fields.
at_hour and idle_minutes already had null coalescing; mode was still
using data.get('mode', 'both') which returns None when the key exists
with an explicit null value.
Add regression test covering all-null input.
Based on PR #1120 by stablegenius49.
- bridge stt.enabled from config.yaml into gateway runtime config
- preserve the flag in GatewayConfig serialization
- skip gateway voice transcription when STT is disabled
- add regression tests for config loading and disabled transcription flow
Follow-up on salvaged PR #975.
Bridge quick_commands from config.yaml into load_gateway_config(),
normalize non-dict quick command config at runtime, and add coverage
for GatewayConfig round-trips plus config.yaml bridging. This makes the
GatewayConfig quick-command fix complete for the real user-facing config
path implicated by issue #973.
* 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.
Explicit env_vars passed to spawn_local() still override the blocklist,
matching the existing behavior for callers that intentionally need these.
Gap identified by PR #1004 (@PeterFile).
* feat(delegate): add observability metadata to subagent results
Enrich delegate_task results with metadata from the child AIAgent:
- model: which model the child used
- exit_reason: completed | interrupted | max_iterations
- tokens.input / tokens.output: token counts
- tool_trace: per-tool-call trace with byte sizes and ok/error status
Tool trace uses tool_call_id matching to correctly pair parallel tool
calls with their results, with a fallback for messages without IDs.
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

* 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). Fixes#1100 partially.
- tests/: 23 new tests for STT providers + 2 for compressor fix
- docs/: Updated Voice & TTS page with STT provider table, model sizes,
config examples, and fallback behavior
Fallback behavior:
- Local not installed → OpenAI API (if key set)
- OpenAI key not set → local whisper (if installed)
- Neither → graceful error message to user

* fix: handle YAML null values in session reset policy + configurable API timeout
Two fixes from PR #888 by @Jah-yee:
1. SessionResetPolicy.from_dict() — data.get('at_hour', 4) returns None
when the YAML key exists with a null value. Now explicitly checks for
None and falls back to defaults. Zero remains a valid value.
2. API timeout — hardcoded 900s is now configurable via HERMES_API_TIMEOUT
env var. Useful for slow local models (llama.cpp) that need longer.

- Add /thread slash command that creates a Discord thread and starts a
new Hermes session in it. The starter message (if provided) becomes
the first user input in the new session.
- Add discord.auto_thread config option (DISCORD_AUTO_THREAD env var):
when enabled, every message in a text channel automatically creates
a thread, allowing parallel isolated sessions.
- Fix Discord media method signatures to accept metadata kwarg
(send_voice, send_image_file, send_image) — prevents TypeError
when the base adapter passes platform metadata.
- Fix test mock isolation: add app_commands and ForumChannel to
discord mocks so tests pass in full-suite runs.
Based on PRs #866 and #1109 by insecurejezza, modified per review:
removed /channel command (unsafe), added auto_thread feature,
made /thread dispatch new sessions.

- Forum parent channel IDs now match free-response list (add a forum
channel ID and all its threads respond without mention)
- Better thread chat names: 'Guild / forum / thread' for forum threads
- Add discord.require_mention and discord.free_response_channels to
config.yaml (bridged to env vars, env vars still override)
- Keep require_mention defaulting to true (safe for shared servers)

Allow users to interact with Hermes by sending and receiving emails.
Uses IMAP polling for incoming messages and SMTP for replies with
proper threading (In-Reply-To, References headers).
Integrates with all 14 gateway extension points: config, adapter
factory, authorization, send_message tool, cron delivery, toolsets,
prompt hints, channel directory, setup wizard, status display, and
env example.
65 tests covering config, parsing, dispatch, threading, IMAP fetch,
SMTP send, attachments, and all integration points.
Authored by shitcoinsherpa. Adds encoding='utf-8' to all text-mode
open() calls in gateway/run.py, gateway/config.py, hermes_cli/config.py,
hermes_cli/main.py, and hermes_cli/status.py. Prevents encoding errors
on Windows where the default locale is not UTF-8.
Also fixed 4 additional open() calls in gateway/run.py that were added
after the PR branch was created.
Complete Signal adapter using signal-cli daemon HTTP API.
Based on PR #268 by ibhagwan, rebuilt on current main with bug fixes.
Architecture:
- SSE streaming for inbound messages with exponential backoff (2s→60s)
- JSON-RPC 2.0 for outbound (send, typing, attachments, contacts)
- Health monitor detects stale SSE connections (120s threshold)
- Phone number redaction in all logs and global redact.py
Features:
- DM and group message support with separate access policies
- DM policies: pairing (default), allowlist, open
- Group policies: disabled (default), allowlist, open
- Attachment download with magic-byte type detection
- Typing indicators (8s refresh interval)
- 100MB attachment size limit, 8000 char message limit
- E.164 phone + UUID allowlist support
Integration:
- Platform.SIGNAL enum in gateway/config.py
- Signal in _is_user_authorized() allowlist maps (gateway/run.py)
- Adapter factory in _create_adapter() (gateway/run.py)
- user_id_alt/chat_id_alt fields in SessionSource for UUIDs
- send_message tool support via httpx JSON-RPC (not aiohttp)
- Interactive setup wizard in 'hermes gateway setup'
- Connectivity testing during setup (pings /api/v1/check)
- signal-cli detection and install guidance
Bug fixes from PR #268:
- Timestamp reads from envelope_data (not outer wrapper)
- Uses httpx consistently (not aiohttp in send_message tool)
- SIGNAL_DEBUG scoped to signal logger (not root)
- extract_images regex NOT modified (preserves group numbering)
- pairing.py NOT modified (no cross-platform side effects)
- No dual authorization (adapter defers to run.py for user auth)
- Wildcard uses set membership ('*' in set, not list equality)
- .zip default for PK magic bytes (not .docx)
No new Python dependencies — uses httpx (already core).
External requirement: signal-cli daemon (user-installed).
Tests: 30 new tests covering config, init, helpers, session source,
phone redaction, authorization, and send_message integration.

On Windows, open() defaults to the system locale encoding (cp1252,
cp1254, etc.) rather than UTF-8. This breaks any file containing
non-ASCII characters, and also causes crashes when writing JSON with
ensure_ascii=False.
This adds encoding="utf-8" to open() calls in:
- gateway/run.py (config.yaml reads/writes throughout)
- gateway/config.py (gateway.json and config.yaml)
- hermes_cli/config.py (config.yaml load/save)
- hermes_cli/main.py (session export with ensure_ascii=False)
- hermes_cli/status.py (jobs.json and sessions.json)
- Add ha_list_entities, ha_get_state, ha_call_service tools via REST API
- Add WebSocket gateway adapter for real-time state_changed event monitoring
- Support domain/entity filtering, cooldown, and auto-reconnect with backoff
- Use REST API for outbound notifications to avoid WS race condition
- Gate tool availability on HASS_TOKEN env var
- Add 82 unit tests covering real logic (filtering, payload building, event pipeline)
- Added configuration options for automatic session resets based on inactivity or daily boundaries in cli-config.yaml.
- Enhanced SessionResetPolicy class to support a "none" mode for no auto-resets.
- Implemented memory flushing before session resets in SessionStore to preserve important information.
- Updated setup wizard to guide users in configuring session reset preferences.
New process registry and tool for managing long-running background processes
across all terminal backends (local, Docker, Singularity, Modal, SSH).
Process Registry (tools/process_registry.py):
- ProcessSession tracking with rolling 200KB output buffer
- spawn_local() with optional PTY via ptyprocess for interactive CLIs
- spawn_via_env() for non-local backends (runs inside sandbox, never on host)
- Background reader threads per process (Popen stdout or PTY)
- wait() with timeout clamping, interrupt support, and transparent limit reporting
- JSON checkpoint to ~/.hermes/processes.json for gateway crash recovery
- Module-level singleton shared across agent loop, gateway, and RL
Process Tool (model_tools.py):
- 7 actions: list, poll, log, wait, kill, write, submit
- Paired with terminal in all toolsets (CLI, messaging, RL)
- Timeout clamping with transparent notes in response
Terminal Tool Updates (tools/terminal_tool.py):
- Replaced nohup background mode with registry spawn (returns session_id)
- Added workdir parameter for per-command working directory
- Added check_interval parameter for gateway auto-check watchers
- Added pty parameter for interactive CLI tools (Codex, Claude Code)
- Updated TERMINAL_TOOL_DESCRIPTION with full background workflow docs
- Cleanup thread now respects active background processes (won't reap sandbox)
Gateway Integration (gateway/run.py, session.py, config.py):
- Session reset protection: sessions with active processes exempt from reset
- Default idle timeout increased from 2 hours to 24 hours
- from_dict fallback aligned to match (was 120, now 1440)
- session_key env var propagated to process registry for session mapping
- Crash recovery on gateway startup via checkpoint probe
- check_interval watcher: asyncio task polls process, delivers updates to platform
RL Safety (environments/):
- tool_context.py cleanup() kills background processes on episode end
- hermes_base_env.py warns when enabled_toolsets is None (loads all tools)
- Process tool safe in RL via wait() blocking the agent loop
Also:
- Added ptyprocess as optional dependency (in pyproject.toml [pty] extra + [all])
- Fixed pre-existing bug: rl_test_inference missing from TOOL_TO_TOOLSET_MAP
- Updated AGENTS.md with process management docs and project structure
- Updated README.md terminal section with process management overview
- 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).
